Do you stop at the outward appearance, and not travel to the heart of the matter?

This is the lesson this day. Do you stop at the outward appearance, and not travel to the heart of the matter? Are you blinding yourself from Truth because you prefer what you see on the outside? See, children, that a parable is like the veil on Moses' face. [.....ref. today's first reading] You must go beyond the veil to see the deeper meaning. You must not stop at what amazes you, but look deeper for the Source of all Glory. Is Salvation a prize of great worth to you? In the eyes of the world, would not a bloodied cross be an outward sign with no meaning.....no meaning of the Hope which It is? It is more important to BE holy than to LOOK holy.

The Graces which I give to you, the Word Which I impart, are meaningless unless you allow your heart to become INVOLVED in My Life. Otherwise, you can look upon Grandeur and miss Its full meaning!

Come, see My Body and My Blood. Are you veiled by the sight? Or do you look beyond the veil, with eyes of Faith, to see Me Who is Here? Do you cherish our every moment? Are you more impressed with the MOTION of coming to see Me, than what transpires in your heart in My Presence? Why are you drawn to Me? What of value do you find here? What would you give to maintain a True Life in Me now? What DO you give? And how do you bring forth My Beauty? What do others see in you of My Presence in your life? Do they see the Treasure buried in your heart? Do you see the Treasure buried in those around you? Love of neighbor, Love of self, Love of God.....THIS is the Treasure! Become visible for My Sake. Let Me be the Center of your life, the Purpose of your life, the visible Difference in your life, the Value of your life. Amen. +
