Good morning.
God morning to you.
One of my favorite quotes from Rupert Spira is about the train station.
He says,
See thoughts and feelings like a train that enters a station and then leaves.
Be like a station,
Not like a passenger.
But often we are passengers and we are on speed like bullet trains to hell.
It's so many thoughts all the time.
And so if you must be a passenger today,
If you find yourself thinking,
Thinking,
Thinking,
Jump on this train.
Jesus,
You take over.
Jesus,
You take over.
Jesus,
You take over.
Jesus,
You take over.
Every time you turn within,
If you can't listen for silence,
Listen for that.
Feel for that.
And then notice that that train comes to a stop and you can get off and rest here where there are no thoughts.
Or there is no prayer,
There is no you.
And then a new thought train shows up and you can choose not to get on it.
You will be aware of it,
But you don't have to jump on.
Running right alongside that one will always be from now on.
Jesus,
You take over.
Jesus,
You take care of it.
Jesus,
I surrender myself to you.
Jump on that train if you have to jump on a train.
I jump on the only love is here train a lot during the day.
I jump on the Hail Mary full of grace train.
Sometimes I wake up on that train.
I don't even know how I got on it.
It's just always there.
It's always there.
And while we still believe ourselves to be passengers,
It is an easy way to him.
Right now,
I want you to close your eyes and take a deep breath and put your right hand over your heart and repeat out loud.
It is safe for me to remember who I was before I learned to hide.
It is safe for me to remember who I was before I learned to hide.
And take another deep breath.
That's Xavier Dagba.
He says,
Thinking the world is not ready for your light is most likely your eagle's way to rationalize your self-repression.
The earth has not only been ready for your light,
Now she demands it.
If you think expressing your pain is vulnerable,
Try expressing your brightness without holding back.
Try expressing your love without holding back.
I know you love hard or you wouldn't be here.
And I know you think your love has been wasted,
Unappreciated,
Discarded.
You haven't wasted an ounce of love on anyone.
God has seen it all.
And you will continue to give all of your love in all directions.
Just as you are right now.
There's no one in this physical room with me,
But I'm loving everyone fully.
And I can feel you doing the same.
I get so many prayer requests I can't keep up with names and circumstances.
And so I just come to the silence.
I place it all at his feet.
He knows my heart.
And I radiate his love out.
You're radiating his healing out into the world,
Into time.
Jesus says,
Pray always in readiness to surrender.
And you will receive from it great peace and great rewards even when I confer on you the grace of immolation,
Of repentance,
And of love.
Then what does suffering matter?
It seems impossible to you?
Close your eyes and say with all your soul,
Jesus,
You take care of it.
Do not be afraid.
I will take care of things.
And you will bless my name by humbling yourself.
A thousand prayers cannot equal one single act of surrender.
Remember this well.
There is no novena more effective than this.
And now we pray 10 times.
Oh Jesus,
I surrender myself to you.
Take care of everything.
Oh Jesus,
I surrender myself to you.
Take care of everything.
Oh Jesus,
I surrender myself to you.
Take care of everything.
Oh Jesus,
I surrender myself to you.
Take care of everything.
Speak to him like he's in you.
Not just like he's in the room,
But like he's right there in your heart.
Oh Jesus,
I surrender myself to you.
Take care of everything.
Oh Jesus,
I surrender myself to you.
Take care of everything.
Oh Jesus,
I surrender myself to you.
Take care of everything.
Oh Jesus,
I surrender myself to you.
Take care of everything.
Oh Jesus,
I surrender myself to you.
Take care of everything.
Oh Jesus,
I surrender myself to you.
Take care of everything.
And now our concluding prayer.
Mother,
I am yours now and forever.
Through you and with you I always want to belong completely to Jesus.
Amen.
And somehow that concludes yet another Novena.
Someone messaged last week on Instagram.
She said,
I have the TV on in the background.
I'm waiting for Big Brother to come on.
LOL.
Yes,
I'm a geek.
Anyways,
Jeopardy was on and guess what the question was.
What is a nine-day prayer?
Immediately I'm yelling,
Novena.
I told her,
Shut up.
That's amazing.
That's how it works.
I pray this Novena was powerful for you.
That it helped to shift some things.
Even if you aren't aware of them yet,
You feel the shift.
You feel the grace.
His hand.
His light.
I met with a man after church who thought I worked for the church and I do,
But not in an official way.
And he was seeking prayer for his wife who's awaiting test results.
Very faithful,
Beautiful being.
And we stood there waiting for the priest.
He spoke to me long enough to share that he had died once and come back in the hospital on the table.
And he said he met Jesus.
And I said,
Tell me how it was.
And there was a long pause and my,
I jumped on a train of thought about what I needed to do.
I could see it because when I came back,
He was crying tears of joy,
Looking,
Searching for the words to describe his experience that he had.
He said,
Light.
Said it was so much light.
He said it was in the shape of a being with flowing garments that were white,
But made of light.
And he said his face was made of light and that he hugged him,
Embraced him with arms of light.
And he said,
It was so beautiful.
And he's describing this through tears.
And he said,
People don't believe me.
And I said,
I believe you.
And then the priest came over and I left,
But I took that with me and I bring it to you.
You have come into the light of his face.
You are conscious of his everlasting arms.
You are conscious of what was hidden.
They say in the gospel of Philip that Jesus is his hidden name.
It's been revealed to you.
Call on it,
Sing it,
Shout it,
Share it.
In the oaths of Solomon,
He says,
And I heard their voices and I treasured their faith in my heart.
And I sealed my name upon their foreheads for they are free men and they are mine.
Hallelujah,
Hallelujah,
Hallelujah.
I love you and we'll chat soon.
