It is so wonderful that we can ask our Lord Jesus Christ with trust to come amongst us in the sacrifice of the holy mass and He really does it , He comes amongst us in the Holy Eucharist ! The greatest mystery on earth , that during  the offertory of every mass  God with trust, love puts Himself into our hands ! I have met many, many great, smart, good-looking people , it is good to be with them but deep down in one’s heart one can feel that they are also just born out of a fistful of dust and if we are honest we have to admit to ourselves that we long for more than just them ! To be totally honest I do not want to be enlightened, I would not like to be justified, I don’t desire  perform miracles,to float, I don’t even want to become a saint I would just like to meet with God ! In the quietness of Lent I can clearly feel, that what I desire the most , very humbly, quietly to be able to sit at the feet of Jesus Christ ! I am aware of the frailty of my insignificance and yet even if He would chide me or on account of my sins He would even punish me , even then my heart is still longing for God :

“Like a deer after a refreshing spring,

my heart yearns , longs for You ,

so would I go towards the living Lord,

when will You come, to take me away .”

It was a great joy that visiting our houses we could celebrate together with my children in the sacrifice of the mass the Eucharist !This is how much I was given with my earthly eyes to approach God , this is why I encourage the dear colleagues , that with gentle goodness take our children to the holy mass , and bathe their fragile little spirits with prayerful love in the precious , holy presence of our Lord Jesus Christ !

With love,
