Be witnesses of peace and love in this peaceless world

 
Dear children! The Most High has permitted me to call you to a new conversion. Little children, open your hearts to the grace to which you are all called. Be witnesses of peace and love in this peaceless world. Your life here on earth is passing. Pray that through prayer you may yearn for Heaven and the things of Heaven and your hearts will see everything differently. You are not alone;
I am with you and intercede before my Son Jesus for you.
 Thank you for having responded to my call. ”


 (Thursday, May 25, 2017, Our Lady message to the visionary Marija Pavlović

I can go from one day to the next, forgetting how short my life is.  Carl Jung started to believe in ‘something more’ than this life because of his experience with his unconscious when he dreamed.  As well as in the dreams of those who saw him.  Their content and symbols, even when death was concerned seemed to deny that death is the end.  Then, of course, he had his NDE and when he came back, he said it was like coming back into a world of boxes, or perhaps blinders would be a better word. 

“Your life here on earth is passing”.

 I know this intellectually, but on a visceral level, no, I will seldom advert to this reality.  Well, I will when I am actually in the dying process, and not just slowly dying from growing older.  The weakness and pain and nausea that often accompany the dying process is not something I want to think about, or do I actually need to.  However, the fact that I will die, I believe is important for me to meditate over and as a believer to pray about it.  What happens to my inner self when my final stop comes, or yours?  What is my life about?

Pray that through prayer you may yearn for Heaven and the things of Heaven and
your hearts will see everything differently
.

What are the things of Heaven?  Perhaps it is the most important things (or thing) that I seek here on earth.  Not riches, or pleasure, or fame and notoriety, but something else.  As I look around and see how people live who have all of these things, their lives are not much better than others in their interior selves.  Is heaven ‘home’?  What does ‘home’ mean?  For me, it is a place of total belonging, of being deeply rooted, centered and once again becoming that child I was before I got knocked out of the Garden of Eden.  Either by some sort of event from outside or when I was first able to say ‘NO!!!’.   Boundaries went up and the battle for autonomy had begun.  A necessary one in this hard world and I have found no exceptions, yet, to this harsh reality.

When I left ‘Eden’ I became aware my nakedness, vulnerability, weakness and the fact that I was in danger.   So that first ‘NO!!!” became one of many.  Some were needed; others only caused me harm and isolation from those around me and from my connection on my side of the fence, with God. 

“You are not alone”.

As my good friend, Gail would say:  “Really!”  I say that at times.  Really?  I can say now, yes ‘Really!”.  However, I often have to say my-self ‘yes’, in the midst of doubt.  For me, it is much easier to believe in nothing, but the fact there is so much around me, in a universe that is beautiful and rational, governed by laws; leads me to be bemused by Atheism.  Atheism and materialism are not based on science, but both are ideologies and philosophical beliefs.  So I believe that behind all the many things, there is One, Infinite, Intelligence.  Because I believe that, it seems logical that, that reality, would find some way to reveal its essential nature to us.  When I study other faiths, I see God at work in them all drawing man to seek answers and meaning in their lives.  So in Hinduism, Buddhism, Bahaism, and other faiths, and in all those who seek; I see a seeking after what is important in life.  

In Christianity, Christ Jesus shows us the Father whose nature is simplicity itself and made up with what we seek and possibly are, but it is buried beneath fear, pain and yes personal sin, which is a way of escaping reality.  That reality is love, but of a nature beyond our comprehension and one reason that I can fail so often in my own relationship with God and is presenting my faith to others in a way that is attractive. 

Christians can get so tied with ‘quotes’ that we lose what Jesus was trying to show us by his life and how he related to others, especially the outcast and sinners.  The parable of the Prodigal Son for instance…..to truly enter into that story, and pray about it, and seek to understand it, can transform the inner man in a profound way, and help to bring out our essential nature, which is being a true childlike individual. 

The more we understand our need for ‘grace’ and ‘mercy’ the quicker we understand others, for self-knowledge, is the magic key to living a truly loving and compassionate life.  To know one's self, but to also love ones-self is not a small feat, but a life long process.
