The first Adoration of Jesus’ Sacred Heart

Apartment of Prayer

Sometimes our vision of God’s call is a little different than how He chooses to unfold it.. Sometimes God has to ‘tweak’ our life, basically because free will gets in the way of His work. Yet when a soul ardently seeks His will, God finds a way to let it be done in one’s life. I wasn’t able to find donors to open a house of prayer, but God is accomplishing His will in another way in a little apartment.

Here is my simple, ordinary ‘Bethany House of Prayer ‘, a place where I hope Jesus can find a place to rest His Head. My day is split between a simple life of prayer and caring for triplet babies. 

Thank you to those who have tried to help me. I pray that as God continues to put good people on my path that God will bless them abundantly.

St John Paul II

I remember at World Youth Day one year the crowd chanted, ‘John Paul II, we love you and we want you to live forever!’

This man was a spiritual giant and we are so blessed to have been part of God’s work through him in the Church. 

From his first words as Pope:

“Brothers and sisters, do not be afraid to welcome Christ and accept his power. Help the Pope and all those who wish to serve Christ and with Christ’s power to serve the human person and the whole of mankind. Do not be afraid. Open wide the doors for Christ. To his saving power open the boundaries of States, economic and political systems, the vast fields of culture, civilization, and development. Do not be afraid. Christ knows ‘what is in man’. He alone knows it.”

Fountain of Love

We do not understand the power of the Blood of Jesus. Every sore it touches is healed. Every impurity washed in it is made limpid and holy. Every dry, cracked and broken part of our heart is made fresh and whole. Every intention offered to the Father through the precious Blood is answered. Every need presented to Jesus here, in and through His Blood is provided for. Every person who drinks of this fountain (or is washed by our presenting them here) is transformed and richly blessed. Every desire is quenched and all evil is destroyed. Every soul is made more beautiful and holy by spiritual contact with just one drop. Blindness and deafness and confusion and despair and doubt and fear are taken away and replaced by wisdom, knowledge, joy, peace and love. Yes, all of this and more would be corrected and healed and transformed and made new if only we presented it daily to our Beloved Jesus’ precious Blood.

Through the same Christ our Lord.  Amen.
