We will never fully know the power of every prayer we ever said in the silence of our own heart in the company of Jesus Christ.  When we return to Jesus one day, I will have that answer given to me I am most sure of it.  For now, we are oh so, way too busy to recognize the great fruit within us and we miss the opportunity to say or show our thankfulness to our Lord in full.  For today, and every day that he will grant me to live my most fullest life, up to the moment I take he takes my breadth away, I will thank him.  I will live in him, I will rejoice in him, and certainly I will leave a legacy in kind for Him, and anyone that he allows to cross over into my path desiring to be saved.  I have found his path to be, quite powerful.  I am totally engrossed in his nature, watching him remold me into my best and greatest self, perhaps no longer am I in my mothers womb, but somehow, I believe I am now truly living under the mantle of my Holy and Blessed Mother Mary.  It is in her presence I find myself.  I find myself again to be more alive through her and in her, than ever before.  What is this new rebirth I am experiencing?  I know it is real because I can tell that I have died to my old ways.  I no longer desire to live a certain way that is displeasing to God.  Sin and weakness, they together, no longer have a hold over me, I have been lifted up and out of the dung hill! I am lifted up and I am no longer brought down.  I am a new creation, all glory and  thanks truly be to God!  Thanks to his forgiveness, it is there, I find the truth and I receive reconciliation, and healing.  We as a people don't hear this enough! That reconciliation and the power God gives to us through an honest heart felt confession, is the best way to eradicate sin once and for all.  The power of a good confession lifts us up, inspires us to grow to our fullest potential and not stay ever stuck in our sins.  The honesty that comes out of our mouth in confession, heals our brokenness.  Tell me, what on God's green earth, are we afraid of when it comes to confessing our sins?  How could we ever be so afraid of the intimacy that our Lord is wanting of his creation? Allow God to work deeply within you, and free yourself of all your past inequities and live a much more perfect life in God today.  We are all worthy of a new start, a clean slate, embark upon it knowing you are worthy of this and so much more.  Pray and ask God to bring you to the confessional with a good and honest and dynamic priest (and if you do not have one, pray that God send you to a specific priest) one that will really guide you spiritually like a spiritual director.  When we choose to pray first for our needs to God, he listens.  He delivers.  When we get right with God, we get right with ourselves, and we certainly get right with others.  Don't miss the opportunity to forgive yourself and others and move on.  Leave all unforgiveness to Him, Be forgiving, God likes that a whole lot.  Be mature. Be selective of your words.  Pray like you mean it, and God will bless the ground you walk on.
