Our Lord Jesus Christ is instructing and inviting you thus....
I reward your seeking with My Presence. Rejoice and be glad. I am your
God.
Courage and joy will conquer all troubles.
First things first. Seek Me, love Me, joy in Me.
I am your Guide. No perils can affright you, no discipline exhaust you. Persevere.
Can you hold on in My strength? I need you more than you need Me.
Struggle through this time for My sake. Initiation precedes all real work and success for Me.
Are you ready to live a life apart? Apart with Me?
In the world and yet apart with Me? Going forth from your secret times of communion to rescue and save?

miguel de Portugal commented then:
An offer that just cannot be refused. Refusing it is not even an option! You would never, ever!, want to refuse it once it is "heard" by your heart.
How I wish I could infuse such reality in the hearts of all, but I cannot, and neither will He!
In today's optional Gospel - Luke 18:35-43 - we read about a blind man who started calling on Jesus as He passed by. The two key phrases of that Gospel are:
"What do you want me to do for you?"
and
"....your faith has healed you."
The first one teaches us that we must ask for whatever it is that we want. Of course Jesus knew what was the man's problem and what he wanted, but He caused the blind man to ask for whatever it was he wanted. We must ask!
In the second one, He reminds us that it is our Faith in Him which sets the miraculous response in motion. Jesus, without our Faith in Him is essentially powerless. Heresy? Read the following verses and think again:
And Jesus said to them: A prophet is not without honor, but in his own country, and
in his own house, and among his own kindred. And he could not do any miracles there,
only that he cured a few that were sick, laying his hands upon them. [Mark
6:4-5]
In closing, notice that He says in today's message: In the world and yet apart with Me.
You can do it without leaving the world as I did when He asked me to. How do I know? Because before He asked me to leave all behind and follow Him, I was already "apart with Him" and yet in the world practicing two professions.
It can be done!

This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have
seen him go into heaven. [Acts 1:11]
