What is it about prayer that opens us up to the Holy Spirit?  Do we even understand what this means?  I believe we are given these special prayers to recite for a reason, mainly I believe, to help us find our way, and to help save our very souls from final damnation, the very soul that our Lord himself gave to us personally.  One cannot see ones soul.  However, ones soul does, in fact, exist.  It exists in the minds eye of our creator, it exists in the eyes and minds of everyone he has ever created.  Who is it that gives us everything?  God! He made us, and we are perfect.  We were born from our mothers womb without stain or blemish.  God made us in his likeness and in His  image.  No one can replicate creation, nor the very first seed that fell to the ground and multiplied.  That was God then and is God today!  God gives us numerous gifts. The question is, what are we doing with those God given gifts?  God gives us a lifetime filled with grandeur, look around you, man cannot create a tree, a sky, a sun, a moon, nor can we create life.  It was then and is now all of God's  doing.  It was God who loved us first!  God only wants one thing from us.  To get to heaven.  We have the opportunity to meet our creator the day that we take our last breadth.  Would you like to meet someone face to face, who knows absolutely everything about you?  Who knows every hair on your head, who knows your deepest thoughts, who loves you more than you will ever be loved by anyone else?   I am looking forward to the day my Lord will come for me.  This has not been the easiest life to live through.  Yes, I have a lot of questions and would like some answers as to why my life was so different than everyone else's.  I may or may not like what God tells me, but its important for me to know why such suffering took place in my heart.  When I finally heard the voice of my Lord speaking to me, I straightened up really quick.  For he had my attention, and I was His.  You see, we need to rid ourselves of sin, and wrongful behavior that negatively contributes to the hurt held within the interior part of our being.  It's a real place.  And yet we forget that it exists and we shove our experiences under a rug not wanting to deal with them.  So many of us are like this, and unfortunately this is a very dark place to be.  Darkness, needs the light to burn away the sorrow of yesterday.  The light needs to come into us for a good reason, so that we can grow out of our immaturity, and mature in Christ.  We don't realize the baggage we carry and how it affects our lives and the lives of those who love us.  I am going to tell you right now, you do not need to carry that baggage any longer.  God wants you to be free.  God wants us to know who you are and why you exist.  And where you and I are heading.  To know God, is to know his truth and to be one with God, we must choose Him over our own desires first and foremost.  We must take up our cross and deny our selves constantly in order to achieve perfection in Christ.  I believe this is the right course of action.  Easy to say, difficult yes, but worth following.  To be free we must desire to be associated with the great I AM.  Perfection, spiritual perfection that is exists in HIM.  We should desire to be spiritually perfect so that we can attain all the graces He would love for us to receive.  Being so perfect should be our main goal in life and we should strive from there for the perfection that can only be attained in his company.  And we make the time for Christ through perpetual adoration.  That one hour a day, a week, will invite us into the interior life of Christ.  And I am sharing this with all of you because, I too have found the pearl of great price in
