O my sweet, sweet Lord...I know You are here with me. I know You love me, and I know, by Your mercy, that I love You. But still, O Jesus dearest, there is a longing in my soul...to see You and to talk with You. So many times You have appeared to the people of this world, and they have had the blessing to talk with You and see Your beautiful form in this very life...My Jesus I now pray You cleanse me of the sins that keep me from You and be with me, Lord...Beloved, there was a time when I did not believe in You, did not love You...now I ask myself: how did I live? How did I have life when I did not recognize and adore You, O Life-giver? But now in Your infinite mercy You have shown Yourself to me, and You have forgiven me...You have encased me in Your love and given me desire for You...my only Lord, how this desire burns in my soul as I cry out to be closer and closer to You...for You are everything good...people have life that comes from You...we love each other only with Your love...we move and live because You are in our souls. Truly, O Jesus, You are my "all-in-all," for nothing, nothing at all, exists if not for You. O sweet Lord I long to see Your face!! My Dearest, how long will You have me thirst and hunger before I see You? I thirst for the Blood of salvation and hunger for the Bread of Life and all the while I long to experience Your exquisite beauty in a vision, or a dream, or some way in which You love to communicate with Your family on Earth. But I do suppose, O Jesus, that this is after all a fulfillment of what I have so heartily prayed for. Ah, my Lord, is this Your way of giving me some of Your suffering and Passion? By giving me love for You, and loving me, while ever giving me an even deeper desire to love You and be closer? Lord, if this is Your way, let it be done... I only want to be with You in Your heart- You cry for the world and You also rejoice in it...if You would let me cry with You and rejoice with You, to be nearer and dearer to You, I would be most blessed, O most lovely Jesus. Lead me, I pray, to the living water of holy Baptism, that, immersed in that life-giving stream I may be fully reborn in You. O Jesus, my Love, my Life, my heart's Lord...I will always love You, and forever be Yours...O Blessed Lord Jesus Christ...bury me within Your beautiful side wound forever and ever...O dear Blood, sweet Blood of Christ, honey of the angels, save me...
I love You Jesus, and I long to see Your most beautiful face!!
I love You Jesus, and I long to see Your most beautiful face!!
