Do this. Remember Me.
Announce your joy, your excitement, and like a loud ‘hosana’ shout in every corner of your life the moments you’ve known My goodness. Let those moments mark your heart… for how easily they forget the goodness when the shouts of joy fade… when the warmth of a Sunday dims to the cold darkness of the looming days ahead.
Do this. Remember Me.
Rest in my presence. As you bustle about in preparation for the celebrations, the traditions, the meals, the easter baskets, take the moment… make a moment for Me… You know where to find Me… I’m in the holy sanctuary waiting for you… and I’m in the sanctuary of your ‘inner room”, the heart that only you know, and I know more deeply. Come and rest.
Do this. Remember Me.
In the moments you feel alone, forgotten, or betrayed, know that I know just how you feel. I’ve experienced my closest friends and confidants leave me one by one, as flames extinguished into darkness, and I alone stood still… the only candle lit in a stone-cold church. I know what it’s like to face the hardest days alone. Don’t be afraid of the darkness. For I AM the one light burning brightly beside you.
Do this. Remember Me.
I AM all you need. I will fill your deepest desires. I chose not only to come into this world and to save it, but also to stay behind so that you may be strengthened each day. Renew your heart in the immense love I have for you, for I’ve become your servant. Know My goodness. Know you are loved. Come receive Me in Holy Eucharist.
Do this. Remember Me.
I thirst for you. I’ve known you for all time. And from all time, I knew that I could never be parted from you. I’ve become all things to save you. Embrace My arms outstretched in mercy… in incomprehensible love.
Do this. Remember Me.
Remember what I’ve taught you… especially when you feel hopeless or uncertain. For I Am in the ‘in-between’. The sealed tomb, guarded by the fiercest regime couldn’t contain My plan… and neither will it for My dreams for you. This week of weeks you will remember forever. And it is good that you do. For these events you recall and live are a gift to you, that through My suffering and death you may experience, in every sense My glory. And I promise you—you will see My glory!... For by coming back from death’s domain, I shed my peaceful light on humanity, and live and reign forever and ever.*
Do this. Remember Me.
Let this week be in you what it was always meant to be. Praise the Beautiful Lamb!
