The Secret

I will tell you a secret…  You and I and all who are called to live the life of Love have a special name known only to God.  “I know My sheep and mine know Me and I call each by name…”

When it is time for us to pass from this life, this pilgrimage in the vale of tears, God whispers this name to the soul and the soul, unable to withstand the call, leaves the body to meet the Ineffable and Eternal Creator, there in His presence to give an account.  May it be the great and magnificent homecoming it is meant to be and not a terror of judgement.

“Fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom…”  Now, in this moment, while we can we make our plea to God in the Holy Name of Jesus, not just for ourselves, but for everyone we love and do not love.  For each person that we know and do not know.  For our family and friends, our benefactors and our enemies.  For every one whose path we cross from the moment we are born to the day we die.  We fly to the Sacred Heart of Jesus where all manner of sin and imperfection is forgiven and forgotten.  Where the merits of Him Who alone loves us eternally, imparts these merits to us by grace and inexpressible kindness.

United to His sacrifice, even the most minute actions become salvific and meritorious.  The very breaths we breath, the steps we take, the blinking of an eye, the thoughts we think- everything is transformed for our benefit by the One Who made us.  How marvelous and humbling is the Catholic Faith, however and in whatever tradition it is made manifest!
