Christ – The Narrow Path

Christ is Within

Do not seek Christ in the external world

For Christ lives within your soul

Seek him with all your heart in the interior castle of your soul

There you will find Jesus and the treasures of the gospels

Through stillness and contemplative prayer we find God’s presence within

Those who seek God’s love in external things will never find him and will never know him

Those who seek open heartedly in the depths of their soul will find Christ and become one with him in his divine love

“The Kingdom of God is within you.” Luke 17:21

“But seek first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.” Matthew 6:33

“On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you.”

John 14:20

Only those who have been humbled by life

Will desire mercy

Those who don’t desire mercy will never receive it

We must abandon all pride and only strive for perfect humility

In this perfect humility we receive God’s grace

In this grace

God’s love lifts us up from humiliation into glory

Do not cling to this world

All worldly riches, fame, and possessions will fade away in the end

But God’s love is infinite and everlasting

Christ firmly stands within us till the end

The inner riches of being with God are what satisfy our soul

The outer riches only give us temporary pleasure but leave us hollow

Only his love can give our soul true peace and joy

Narrow is this path my lord

Stay near me as I walk into the darkness of this world

For you are the light of the world

May I drink with you at your well

The everlasting source of love within my own heart

May I eat with you

For you are the bread of life

O’ Christ

My soul only strives to be with you

And rest within your love

Abandon everything

Abandon all greed, hatred and fear

Abandon selfishness

Abandon all attachments to temporary pleasures

Those who have the courage to abandon everything will be rewarded

Yet do not focus on any reward because this itself is self centered

Just focus on your breath and open your heart

Let unconditional love purify your heart and soul from within you
