The Greatest Love Story

The greatest love story is not between two people but falling in love with Christ within our own heart and soul

The love of Christ fulfills our inner most being

God’s love purifying our heart and soul of worldly attachments that bring us suffering

The connection between us and God’s love brings us everlasting joy and peace

Something another human can not fulfill

This world romanticized love between two human beings as the pinnacle of love but without the connection to God’s love it will lead to pain, suffering, divorce, adultery and trauma

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

When Christ is Within me

When Christ is within me

I become like a child again

Joyful and curious

When Christ is within me

I have the wisdom of the cosmos within me

When Christ is within me

True peace and love flow through me

Bringing light into the darkness of the world

Prayer in Secret

If you want to be free

If you desire union with God in perfect love

Always point the arrow inwards

For God is always within us

Patiently waiting for us to listen

As Jesus said in the gospel of Matthew

“But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.”

We must enter our inner room where the divine therapy takes place

Focus on your breathe till your mind is calm and at ease so you can hear his spirit

Contemplate God’s love and words within your heart and you will be healed, restored, and guided

The Interior Life

The interior life is one of silence

Striving only for divine union with God’s love

It is not one that strives for earthly riches

The false beacon of wealth, status, or fame will all fade away and lead us to great suffering

Look only within your own heart and seek the inner riches of being one with Christ in perfect love

When you are one with Christ, true joy and peace will rush within your heart

Do not be bothered by the impurities in your brothers and sisters

Focus on your own journey to Christ and God’s light will cast into the darkness of the world

Do not gossip about God and only speak humbly

Learn to he silent and listen to God’s voice within you

Be still and seek the Kingdom of God within your own heart and soul

Bow Until Your Last Breathe

Bow to your brother’s and sister’s

Bow to the homeless

Bow to the sick and mentally ill

Bow to animals and the planet

Bow to your enemies

Bow to the entire cosmos

Bow to your last breathe

And God will bow to you

And fill you with his spirit of love and peace

If we want to be close to God

We must only strive for perfect humility

Cloud of Unknowing

“With an empty mind and open heart, let yourself be naked before grace.

Let your mind rest in this dark awareness of God in all of this naked existence.

It is not who you are or what you’ve been that God sees with merciful eyes, but what you want to be.

Contemplative prayer, when done right, is the respectful love and ripe fruit.

It’s the cloud of unknowing, the hidden love-longing offered by a pure spirit.

It takes you into silence, far from thoughts and words.”

These quotes are from “The Cloud of Unknowing” which is a book of anonymous European monks from the medieval times. Full video on YouTube.

Born in the Image of God’s Love

As I walk with the homeless

I see the divinity within them

What the world sees as unclean and unworthy

I see through the lens of compassion, mercy, and unconditional love

They are my brothers and sisters

They are worthy of love

I Walk With You Christ

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

Love Your Neighbor

Jesus’s one commandment to his disciples was to love your neighbor

What is your neighbor?

Your neighbor is the poor, sick, and homeless

Your neighbor is the immigrant

Your neighbor is the LGBTQ community

Your neighbor is the pig, chicken, cow, and sheep

Your neighbor is the rainforest and it’s many wildlife

Your neighbor is the Earth

Love them with all your heart and soul

Don’t let fear, hatred or greed keep you from expanding your circle of love and compassion
