Hello family, in this post I will share with you my journal on the 9th day of my Solitude with Jesus.
I have been in solitude for 8 days now, and I have eaten no food for 8 days. I have just been sipping water. In the past years before I joined the Heartdwellers, I have, with other intercessors, been on a 21-day fast, but every 24 hours we would take a bowl of porridge. But once we were on a 7-day dry fast. But this time, the Lord said no food for 21 days.
I am learning a lot about our eating habits. Many foods we consume are unnecessary, and the quantities, also. I now understand how John the Baptist lived on locusts and Honey. I figure John, when he ate, it was primarily to sustain his body to be in good health and have energy to function. Jesus teaches us self-denial. A major area of our lives, as brides of the last days, is denying ourselves food. I am a heavy coffee and tea consumer but, now 8 days, I have had none and am okay. I love Coke (Coca Cola), too. But, Mother Caroline has stopped buying me Coke anymore.
We need to fast from many foods that we are presently consuming for good health, and also spiritual discipline.
On this 9th Night, during the Vigil, I sensed Jesus wanted to talk to me. I had been seated before the Blessed Sacrament, chatting with him about many things. I sensed he wanted to talk to me. So, I prepare my device to start writing.
What's on your heart, Jesus?
Jesus began,
"I want to talk about you."
Yes, Jesus, I have opened my heart and the ears of my heart. I pressed on to hear, but Jesus was silent. For an hour, I sat quietly. And suddenly I was prompted by the Holy Spirit to seek a word of Rhema from the Book "In Sinu Jesu."
The reading was from Wednesday, March 3, 2010.
Jesus begins, (a quote from the book)
"You do not yet understand the value and the meaning of what you are doing when you abide in adoration before My Eucharistic Face. You are participating in a divine work, in a work of grace. You are before Me as an empty vessel to be filled with the power and sweetness of the Holy Spirit, that souls might drink of My love and, drinking, see that My love is sweeter than any earthly delight. You are before Me as the intercessor in whose soul the Holy Spirit is sighing with ineffable groanings, and [you are] obtaining from My Father, through Me, all that the Father desires to give My priests in this world and in the next.
“You are the reparator, opening yourself to receive the love that so many others ignore, refuse, or treat with indifference, coldness, and disdain. By offering yourself to Me in an adoration of reparation, you console My Eucharistic Heart, which burns with love and so desires to fill souls with My tender mercy. When you are before Me, you are the privileged friend of My Heart, keeping Me company in My loneliness and allowing Me to share with you My sorrows, My grieving over sin, and My designs for a priesthood made pure and radiant with holiness. When you are before Me, you are with Me a victim of love, handed over and bound to remain at your place before the altar with no desires or plans other than to love, to adore, to make reparation, and to represent all priests in a prayer that is simple, confident, and life changing.”
“When you are in adoration before My Eucharistic Face, you are not idle; you are working in a way far more efficacious than any human undertaking can be. This is your work, and it is My work in you. This is a work that many will criticize and not understand. You are here in a divinely active collaboration with Me, who from the Sacrament of My love continue My priestly mediation before the Father on behalf of poor sinners. Never doubt of the value of your hours of adoration. It is this that I have asked you to do, and I will draw from your presence in the sanctuary a great good and a superabundance of graces for My priests.
Now, by giving Me the better part of the day, you are beginning to realize that for which I called you here, and that for which I set you aside long ago."
The End of words of Jesus from the book, In Sinu Jesu.
Family, Jesus says several important issues about Adoration, but I will highlight one.
Jesus states, "When you are in adoration before My Eucharistic Face, you are not idle; you are working in a way far more efficacious than any human undertaking can be. This is your work, and it is My work in you."
The minutes or hours you sit in Adoration you are accomplishing more in collaboration with heaven, more than if you were out doing tasks.
Spending time in Adoration is truly as if you are in the physical presence of Jesus Himself. How awesome this is!
I looked at what other saints have said about Adoration. This is what…
St. Alphonsus Liguori said. “Our Lord hears our prayers anywhere, but He has revealed to His servants that those who visit Him in the Eucharist will obtain a more abundant measure of grace.”
St. John Bosco says, “Do you want the Lord to give you many graces? Visit Him often. Do you want Him to give you few graces? Visit Him rarely. Do you want the devil to attack you? Visit Jesus rarely in the Blessed Sacrament. Do you want him to flee from you? Visit Jesus often!”
St. Padre Pio says, “A Holy Hour in front of the Blessed Sacrament is worth more than a thousand years of human glory.”
I will share a testimony about my experience with Mother Caroline during Adoration in front of the Blessed Sacrament.
Once, at the end of Adoration, while still seated, I held the right hand of my wife, Mother Caroline, and I officially introduced her to Jesus, thanking Jesus for her and asking Him to fulfill His will in our marriage. Suddenly, we felt a warmth and strange power enveloping our palms together for almost 30 seconds. It was as if Christ, through His holy Spirit, enjoined Himself to us, making us one.
We value so much, our time in Adoration. Yes, you know, we are full-time ministers. So, you know, we have times, we have times that we schedule ourselves so that we can spend time in Adoration. But I encourage everyone to bring into your daily schedule a regular, definite time, or times, of Adoration.
Until next time, family, be blessed.
