Here I am. I was waiting for you. When my children receive Communion in the morning, I wait during the day for their little of thanks. Haven’t I deserved it? Just think what it means to receive Communion. How heartless not to say thank you! I gave all of Myself to My little children. Whoever wants Me may take Me. And those who receive, receive all Heaven, for Heaven is you Christ. But don’t take such an immense favor for granted. Think of each Communion as a first Communion. (Jesus to Gabrielle Bossis, July 23, 1942)

Daily Devotional Based on He and I

18 Therefore the Lord waits to be gracious to you;
    therefore he exalts himself to show mercy to you.
For the Lord is a God of justice;
    blessed are all those who wait for him. (Isaiah 30:18).

18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. (1 Thessalonians 5:18).

32 “Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom. (Luke 12:32).

O Lord, it is so hard to believe that You wait for us. You the God of the Universe, wait with longing for us each day. And Lord it is so few but when we come to Mass in the morning, You wait for our thanks. O Lord I must admit even as a daily Mass goer I can give into distractions and let the thorns of life (Matthew 13) choke the good soil of my soul. And yet You have given us everything and each day we can receive You- we can receive Heaven! What if today was my last Communion- how did I receive You today? With love and thanksgiving and in absolute awe for the God who stops at nothing to live in union with me, this dust who in her nothingsness has absolutely nothing to give back but thank you, thank you thank you? I love You Lord for myself and for all as if all received You with gratitude, faith, trust, and love!
