My beloved Jesus ... in today's Mass listened to that wonderful hymn to love that Paul addresses the Corinthians ... how much wisdom in those words! ... And how much we miss internalize and make them part of our life!
If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, if I have no love, I am become as sounding brass or a tinkling cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, though I have all faith so as to remove mountains, if I have not charity, I am nothing. If I give all my possessions, and give my body to the flames, if I have not charity, I gain nothing.
Love is patient and kind; love is not envious, not boastful, not conceited, it is decent, not insist on its own, is not provoked, takes no account of evil, rejoices not in iniquity, but rejoices with the truth. It bears. All cree. All I expected. Endures all things.
Charity never ends. Disappear prophecies. Leave the language. Science will disappear. Partial because our science and we prophesy in part. When the perfect comes, the partial will disappear. When I was a child, I spake as a child, thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I left everything as a child. Now we see in a mirror dimly. But then face to face. Now I know in part but then shall I know as I am known.
So faith, hope and charity, these three. But the greatest of these is charity.
1 Corinthians 13: 1-13
You know this is one of my favorite passages because Love is the engine of all that exists ... and should be the driving force behind all our actions ... Love, True Love ... not in love, or passion, or the attractions it promotes the world ... but pure love, which encompasses everything, can do everything and gives everything ... that Love, how does the praise that we dedicate today will never end ... because Love, well capitalized, are yourself ...
On this day I ask you just flood me with that love which embraces consumes, purifies and transforms ... you have to increase my love for you ... and sowing the seed in my heart of fidelity, never to me from your side ...
I know you're calling a new ministry ... one that emerges from the immense love you have for all men: the ministry of intercession ... Lord, I'm just a poor sinner and I have nothing to offer ... so I beg whim this new way ... teach me to hear your voice ... and have me an instrument of comfort to those who most need from you ... but above all, I ask you to help me to love everyone with the immeasurable love that comes from your Merciful Heart ...

My dear Romuald,
I know there's fear in your heart, but no need to worry. The ministry to which I call not yours, but mine. You alone are my instrument, I will use the channel to flow my thanks to those I choose.
For now I want to set aside a space of your time for me to be together, just you and me. Be guided by people who have put in your way, follow their advice and I'll show you what I want from you through them.
There will be time for us to fly with wings of an eagle, it is now time to prepare. Remember, to grab onto me with both hands, you must first drop all charges and those things of which you've been holding your whole life. Also, in order to batter fill your heart with my love, you must first empty it of all those feelings and desires that you aparatan me.
I'm by your side and I will always be so, but you need to pray more and more deeply. You must learn to be silent within you so you can feel me and hear my voice.
Look for the words of the psalmist in Psalm 138, medítalas, find meaning and make them yours.
I wait for tomorrow,
Jesus
