In Exodus 3 and Moses encounter with God, we read that Moses "hid his face, for he was afraid to look at God." (Ex 3:6) As his relationship with God grew, we later hear Moses say to God, "you have said to me you are my intimate friend, you have found favor with me" and "do let me see your glory!" (Ex 33:12;18) As we gaze on the glory of Jesus looking upon in the Eucharist, His love continues to pour transformational grace upon us...

The wonderful testimonies of Dr. Ron & Greg, who received healings from Jesus at a parish mission at St. Joseph in Dayton, praise you Jesus!

The delightful and powerful healing testimonies of Margaret and Michael...who were both so surpised at thier healing they waited a day before coming forward to share what Jesus had done...praise you Jesus!

As Abraham gazed up at the stars, He was assured by God that what God has said to Abraham would indeed come to pass. Abraham "put his faith in the Lord who attributed it to him as an act of righteousness." (Gen 15:6) In the Transfiguration on Mt. Tabor, Jesus gives us a beautiful glimpse of the life of holiness that all who put thier faith in Him are to receive in the New and Eternal Covenant...

This reflection on encountering Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, and asking Him for a particular gift, was given during a Holy Hour that concluded a young adult retreat on "The Last Supper Teachings of Jesus on the Holy Spirit."

We consider the words of Jesus, "from the fullness of the heart the mouth speaks" (Lk 6:45) and the reality that as temples of the Holy Spirit, we have the ability to speak words full of heaven's love...

The wonderful testimony of Laura, who experienced a beautiful healing at an Encounter Ministries Healing Service in Los Angeles, praise you Jesus!

In Luke 6:27-38, we come to some of the teaching of Jesus that is certainly not easy to live out consistently: love of enemies, giving mercy, refraining from judgement and condmenation of people, and radical generosity. Considering the love God has for us and the power of God's love within us, we can experience and say with renewed passion: your way is better Lord.

Nearing the end of her long battle of sickness, one of God's elderly precious daughters declared these words, "oh, I'm happy to be a child of God." She showed me how profoundly true the inspired words of Jeremiah are, "blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose hope is the Lord..."(Jeremiah 17:9)

As Peter knelt before Jesus, he experienced and confessed his sinfulness...and encountered a storm of love that has never been defeated by anyone who has looked straight into it: the merciful gaze of Jesus.
