Lord, I thank You completely because You wanted
me to share in Your cross, in Your suffering, and also in Your tenderness… Lord
Jesus, I sense that this is the way I am to live these last years of my life.
How many will there be? I do not know, and I have no interest in knowing. I
know only that I am to live them in union with You, Who loved me infinitely on
the Cross and Who loved Your Father, my Heavenly Father, immeasurably. Lord
Jesus, thank You for all You have done for me and have given me; thank You for
all You will yet do for me. (Thanksgiving after Communion, March 19, 1989)
We often think that the Trinity is not only an
unfathomable mystery, but also an invisible one…yet if we reflect a little, we
can identify three tabernacles of the Trinity. The Eucharistic Tabernacle is
also the Tabernacle of the Trinity because where the Son is, the Father and the
Holy Spirit are also present. There is also the interior tabernacle of each one
of us. “If someone loves me, my Father will love him, and We will come to him
and make Our abode within him.” We understand from this that the Trinity is
present within us. Finally there is the tabernacle of the world. The whole of
creation is the Father’s work with the presence of the Word of God and of the
Spirit Who gives life. (Homily, Holy Trinity, 1988)
