"Occupy yourself in beholding and bewailing your own imperfection rather than contemplating the imperfections of others." St. Ignatius of Loyola
I placed my heart in front of Jesus at Adoration today.
I listened to Matthew Kelly's Best Advent Ever video I missed yesterday.
The ending of this video stood out to me.
Find a quiet place, sit down, close your eyes, acknowledge God's presence, breathe deeply, talk to him briefly about how life has left you empty and ask God to fill you up." Matthew Kelly
Sometimes we don't even realize we are empty.
However, God is always willing and ready to fill us up.
He filled my Adoration hour with His goodness.
I read this quote, from my 15 days of Prayer with Chiara Luce book,
"She transformed her own errors and those of others into love." Blessed Chiara
He answered my heart's prayer for peace with a prayer to love.
"O God, we believe You are here. we adore You and love You with our whole heart and soul because You are most worthy of all our love. We desire to love You as the Blessed do in Heaven... Flood our souls with Your spirit and life.. Penetrate and possess our whole being utterly, that our lives may only be a radiance of Yours. Shine through us, and be so in us, that every soul we come in contact with may feel Your presence in our soul: Let them look up and see no longer us, but only Jesus!"
St. Mother Teresa
