THE AURA OF SILENCE
In preparation for Mass, it is essential to quiet oneself to set the tone to be fully
receptive to hear the message; to think the message; to feel the message. With these thoughts in mind, I arrive early before Mass and sit in silence to meditate before the Tabernacle. In this stillness, I open my mind and heart as an aura begins to surround me. I become focused, uplifting my thoughts and prayers seeking the presence of the Lord. All is quiet. Silence. These moments are precious. Holy moments. Only in these moments of silence, sentiments in the heart are nourished and enriched with each thought and breath. I am consumed into a realm of peacefulness. All noise and distractions are muted. I am enclosed in an aura of delicate matters. Thoughts float upward. Words of great affection fill my soul. Compassion overtakes me. I become immersed in the presence of our Lord. We sit there, in an aura of togetherness. My interior castle opens. It is within this inner fortress, which contains an illumination by the Holy One. An aura. I hunger to be here. This illumination is a dwelling place of un-measurable love and faith. I listen
in silence and think intently; Is this what holiness is? An aura within the soul? The Holy Spirit has come upon me, softly, with gifted elements of grace. I embrace this interaction with loving gestures. Jesus I trust in you. I am yours. I surrender all of me to you. Receive me into your most Compassionate Heart Of Mercy.
During Mass, this aura is most reverent as I await to partake of the Holy Eucharist to culminate this intimate encounter with our Lord. It is here where the priest, physically and spiritually cleanses his hands, and it is unworthy for me to touch the Holy Eucharist with unclean hands. For this, is most sacred. By the tongue I consume this most Holy presence into my soul. This aura of grace radiates within me. Meditation becomes interwoven with soft music and song. My prayers are delicate with sweet softness of extreme peacefulness.
Lord Jesus, come softly to me. Purify my mind. Purify my thoughts. Purify my intentions. Purify my eyes. Purify my heart. Purify my soul. Lord Jesus, Remember me, when I come into thy Kingdom, this repented sinner.
Holy inspirations from above have filled my compassionate reservoir. I now have the holy armor to strengthen me, with guidance, instruction and direction. I am overwhelmed with thanksgiving for all the graces which I have just received in this aura of holiness. I bask in this continuous encounter with my God throughout my days. An aura of silence, calmness and serenity.

About the Author
Inspirational writings. Open your eyes and see things. Open your heart and feel things. Answering the call.
The Lord calls and waits for the inner-spirit of oneself to respond. It is I, who heard this call through a near-death experience. A journey which has taken me to the light, the way, and the truth—a journey of faith, of the Cross. With the guidance from my spiritual director, and also a small wooden cross I had in my pocket I gave to another person as a compassionate gesture in petition, opens the door to spiritual gifts, and spiritual writing—encounters of spiritual inspirations, reflections and experiences that touch the heart and soul. I have recorded and documented the on-going events in my life as they happened. I have put forth my complete trust in the Lord, and have written the words that come into my heart and soul. These thoughts and actions are not of myself, but inspirations of the Holy Spirit. I have shared my writings with others across the world touching hearts and souls in response to my calling, to glorify the work of the Lord.
My wife and I reside in Connecticut and have a son and daughter and two grandchildren.

ISAIAH 6:8
Then I heard the voice of the Lord
saying:
“Whom shall I send? Who will be my
messenger?”
I answered, “Here I am, send me.”
