In the Desert

July 5, 2008 | Leave a Comment

In the silence of the night I often think about you

and pray for you .I will pray for you always in this life

and the life that will come in Paradise . What will Paradise

be like for us ? That we can not fully understand .But we

know we will come to fully see Him who is most lovable .

It was He who led us so deep in to the desert to our mountain

where we could be alone and bless the world by prayer . In that

moment all the sufferings will be but  tiny drop in the ocean of

our Eternity.The separations will be over as we meet fully again in

God .I will pray for you always . Yes we will meet again in eternity .

I ask God to grant us one meeting again in Paradise and with all those

I have known and loved .Then I would like to take leave of you again

in love and spend my Heaven alone with God.

The desert does not destroy love but purifies it .What we were

to each other we always will be but on a different and purer level .

 You must understand this life is not a rejection of anyone but

a response to God . The more you enter in to the desert the more

you are drawn deeper in to it .A person is simply doing what they have to do.

What you see as the long hours of prayer and silence are not so long realy .

All our prayer public or private is liturgical in nature .In the liturgy we stand

already before God in Heaven .That is why time passes so quickly and we describe

the liturgy as timeless . It is part of our every day experience .In this life

we can be so drawn in to God that we begin to share in the Heavenly life .

Yes in each of us there currently remains both the saint and the sinner .

We waite in joyful hope for the redemption of our bodies . Why so joyful when you

will point to the many prayers we say for the forgiveness of sins ? You must

understand the liturgy in whole not in part . Through the hours of the night

we accuse ourselves of so many sins and failings . We then begin to sing

” Jesus ,lover of mankind ” as God comes to embrace us .In that moment we know

we are loved .
