It’s all happening so
fast! Jesus and Mary are calling
me. That still, small voice, is
directing me by the light of the Holy Spirit.
Jesus spoke to my heart a few weeks ago when I was invited to be a small
group leader for a local summer evangelization mission. Jesus said, “All I need is your faith and
your trust. I will do the rest.”
I spent a week in
prayer discerning my response. Every
time I heard or read a Scripture, or listened to Catholic radio, or everyday
conversation, the Lord confirmed in me my answer, “Yes, yes, yes!” The message was clear – spread the joy of the
Gospel!
Several times in prayer over the last month, in my mind,
Jesus has been allowing me to kiss His Bare Feet, sometimes bloody and nailed
to His Cross, other times beautifully clean and resurrected. Mary, my Holy Mother of God, also allowed me
to kiss her feet, in my mind, in prayer.
At other times in prayer, in my mind, Jesus and Mary kissed my unworthy feet,
with gentleness and compassion.
At Eucharistic Adoration I was extremely humbled to learn
my mission in life, which my Lord showed me with such tenderness and love. My mission is to allow Jesus and Mary to wash
and kiss the feet of those around me, through me. Mary also showed me that each time I allow
her to wash and kiss someone’s feet, she will lay down a long stemmed rose at
their feet, which I can pick up and use to adorn her crown!
My new names are, “Washer and Kisser of Feet!” and, “Adorner
of the Queen’s Crown!” What a fantastic
mission! I love God’s saving plans for
me.
Three weeks ago Jesus spoke to my heart at Eucharistic Adoration. He said, “Allow Me to permeate every aspect
of your life…I’m going to offer Myself through you to My Father.” At the time, I didn’t understand what these
words meant, but now I see that He will sacrifice Himself through me to His
Heavenly Father by washing and kissing the feet of those around me! Jesus will show His Love for those around me,
through me. Praise God!
Yesterday, during the Spanish Mass at our parish, I was
consecrated to Our Lady of Guadalupe, even though I don’t speak Spanish! I am a Guadalupana now! This means that I am commissioned to spread
the love of Our Lady of Guadalupe.
Praise the Lord!
Before this Mass, I bought one raffle ticket. There were five prizes. After Mass, our beloved priest began pulling
out tickets from a cage containing hundreds of tickets. I was shocked when the fourth ticket he
pulled was mine! I won a 34” statue of
Our Lady of Guadulupe! Two weekends
later, I was able to have her blessed by another priest. Now she has a new home in my home! I am still in wonder and in awe of God’s blessings
for me. Thank You, Lord!
I can’t help thinking about Jesus’ Ascension and
Pentecost, which we celebrated at Church the last two Sundays. I truly feel in the guts of my soul that
Jesus is commissioning me, like He commissioned His Disciples. “Go, therefore, and make disciples of all
nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the
holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you…” Matthew
28:19-20a
I feel well-equipped with the love of Jesus and
Mary. I’m ready to go out! Jesus and Mary, show me some feet!
