FALLING TEARS OF COMPASSION

August 25, 2024 • View profile •

I asked the Lord what words He wanted Me to write. My heart now speaks to you, in a manner, which you will understand!

When I surrendered my life to Christ, was the day I was able to take Jesus down from the cross. I carried Him in my arms and took the thorns from His head. I wiped away the blood from His body. There were tears -- frozen on His face. I tried wiping His tears away -- they would not come off. I just held Him, then kissed His cheek -- His tears of compassion, fell into my hands!

I saw His mother, and for the first time I saw her anguish and sorrow in her face. What mother, could have stood by, and watched in horror, her son’s torment? Her tears of sorrow, fell into my hands!

For so many years my Lord had carried me and comforted me. This was the first time I carried Him and comforted Him. My Tears of sorrow and compassion, fell into my hands!

I have a cross on my bedroom wall. It is of this compassion, every morning I say these words: “Jesus, I will, wipe away, Your tears,”. I say this prayer: “Father, Jesus, please help me make it through today. I cannot make it without you. Fill me with more physical, mental, and spiritual strength; goodness and grace; and Holy Spirit.”

This, is how I start, my day! And these are the words My Lord wanted me to say . . . to you!

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.”
