Fragments of an awakened soul

Blessed is the day when I suffer and pray to meet You, my Lord, my God, my Heavenly Father.

Everything I have, everything I am, is only possible through Your grace. My health, my life, my family—it is You who sustains them all.

The Lord is the One who allows everything to exist. The Lord is sovereign over all things. The Lord is the One who makes everything possible.

My life, no matter how hard I fight for it, has never been in my hands, but rather in Your glorious hand. My health, no matter how hard I fight for it, has never been in my hands, but rather in Your glorious hand. My soul, no matter how hard I fight for it, has never been in my hands, but rather in Your glorious hand.

Lord, then I have nothing, neither my life, nor my health, nor my soul, without Your eternal grace. The benevolence of Your love is the purest mercy to us.

Nothing happens without Your permission. Your power is sovereign over all things.

My soul has always been Yours, and You had the mercy to allow me to come into being, even knowing that, through my free will, I would sin against Your will.

Lord, Your love is infinite. There is nothing in this world that does not feel empty to me. I have found happiness in nothing else but Your presence.

I have nothing and want nothing from this world, and even if I had everything, nothing would make sense without You. There is no value in any of these things.

All value lies in Your powerful love, Your inexplicable love for us. Your love is pure beauty, pure beauty.

You are perfection, the sublime, the ineffable, the indescribable. Even if I were to sin a thousand more times, Your love for me would not grow cold. Your grace is infinite and Your forgiveness, priceless.

Everything that exists does so by Your permission. Nothing in this world matters more than my relationship with the Lord.

True love has always been Yours. You are the source of all love. All love is Yours.

I have no intention of trying to convince anyone of anything. I am not here for that; I am here only to express what is within me.

Because, somehow, I know that if there is anything I can contribute to this world, it is what is unique within me. And if I do not express what is within me, there will be no way for it to be useful to anyone other than myself.

I do what I do without claiming to be right or wrong. I do it simply for the sake of doing it, to be true to myself about what I believe to be important and true.

Nothing matters beyond that, because that is all I can do with what I know, or what I think I know.

We know nothing about anything. All we know is that we exist. Nothing beyond that can be affirmed.

The very foundation of reality is such an unfathomable mystery that we can only conjecture what it truly is. Our ignorance is what defines our existence. We do not know what we are, we do not know who we are, we know nothing about anything.

While this is true, billions of souls spend their lives distracting themselves from their own selves and allow themselves to be manipulated in exchange for fleeting pleasures that do not satisfy them even in this life.

The central problem of humanity is the intrinsic ignorance of human limitations. We have named ourselves Homo sapiens sapiens, the man who knows that he knows. We live arrogantly proud of our own human knowledge because we consider ourselves superior to our fellow animals, yet we remain so trapped within our own limited worldviews that we refuse even to listen to anything different.

How, then, shall we know the truth if, even with ears, we do not hear? How, then, shall we know the truth if, even with eyes, we do not see? How shall we know the truth if, even with a brain, we do not think?

Arrogance is the downfall of humanity. Believing that we know when, in truth, we do not know is the beginning of the end of human knowledge. We can only come to know when we accept that we do not know.

We must accept that we are no better than anyone, not even our dog or our cat. We think ourselves vastly superior, but we are nothing. When you truly allow yourself to be nothing, that is when you will free yourself to be everything.

We wander through the emptiness of space, alone amid infinity, and yet we want to find the truth while confined to a single perspective? And that is when we actually seek the truth. Many of us, if not most, live without even questioning.

What is happening? Why are we here? What is all of this?

The only thing that matters within this great madness that is human life is trying to understand what is happening, and most of us are not even troubled by our own ignorance, much less willing to seek the truth.

When will you awaken from this slumber, become truly troubled by it, and genuinely seek the truth?

We are all slaves to our own ignorance. Only the truth will set us free.

Only Christ will save your soul from eternal suffering. There is nothing more important than this. We waste our lives in vain arguments and forget to care for our most precious possession: our soul.

What good is it to gain the world and lose our soul? What good is it to accomplish extraordinary deeds, transformations, and achievements in this world of flesh and blood, while our soul continues to suffer anguish, apathy, and loneliness? What good is it to be esteemed by others when there is only emptiness and pain within our soul?

Nothing in this world should matter more than our own soul. We must care for how we feel, just as we care for and protect our treasures, because, in truth, the true treasure is not found in the things of the Earth, but rather in the inner world, the Kingdom of God that is within us.

There is nothing in this world more important than our peace. We must not trade our peace for anything. Our soul is our most precious possession.

We must seek, in communion with God, to heal ourselves of everything: of our fears; of our guilt, forgiving our past mistakes; of the hurts, resentments, and pain involving our brothers and sisters; of our anxieties about the future.

We must learn, in the presence of God, to have compassion for ourselves and cultivate a loving inner dialogue with ourselves. We must preserve our peace, learning to cultivate a feeling of love in our hearts toward ourselves and toward our neighbors.

The only value greater than this is the transcendental love of our Lord, our God, the eternal and endless love of Christ, which shatters our ego and frees us from all pride and all selfishness.

In this transcendental love lies true happiness, true peace, true joy, because, when stripped of all human selfishness, we find the infinite and ideal altruistic divine love, which, even in the face of pain, gives itself completely, because its true happiness has never been found in itself, but rather in the sublime act of loving.

Lord, I want to bless You, I want to honor You, I want to exalt You. There is no one like You.

Your love floods our lives with a completely new meaning of what it means to live. Nothing else matters without You. After knowing Your love, Jesus, nothing is ever the same again. The emptiness in my soul, whose cause I could never understand, disappears by Your side, and everything is seen through a new lens.

I need You, I depend on You. I have a new life by Your side. A completely, permanently renewed life by Your side.

All I have is this present moment, and in it, I have everything my soul needs: silence in the company of Christ. Endless love that emanates from You.

Lord, I have always placed so many expectations on the future, but now I know that everything is here with me, now, in the present.

Your Holy love is everything. It is all I need.

Thank You, Jesus.

You are all I need, You are all I have ever needed. Here and now, nothing else matters, only this moment in which I give my whole heart to You.

In this moment, You make me realize that love is all I need. And I always have Your love; I only need to be with You in my thoughts.

Lord, I am not worthy to plead for Your intercession. I am a filthy sinner, but I do not pray for myself, but rather for the entire world.

I am not worthy that You should hear my prayer, but I ask not on my own behalf, but through the infinite merciful grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, who paid for our sins and redeemed our souls through His painful sacrifice on the cross. I now beseech You for Your intercession.

May Your Kingdom come upon us. May Your will be done. May the New Jerusalem come upon the Earth. May all things be renewed and made anew. Come to us, our Lord Jesus Christ. We thirst and hunger for You.

Lord, have mercy on us and on the whole world. No longer allow evil to have control over us. Do not allow the plans of the evil one to spread plagues, wars, famine, and death throughout this world to prevail. No longer allow the enemy to have power.

I do not ask You to punish them, but rather to take away only their strength, so that they may no longer commit evil against Your people; may they not be struck down, but instead be given the chance to repent.

I earnestly beseech You, Lord, that evil throughout the world may lose all its strength. May weapons fail to fire; may their bodies fall unconscious before they can attempt to take the life of a servant of the Lord; may their lies be uncovered; may their wicked nature be made known.

May their plans be exposed and may they be stopped before they can bring about evil. May no weapon, no plan, no evil attempt prevail against us, Your people, and all of humanity.

We are infinitely loved, valued, respected, cared for, protected, instructed, and perfected. Our duty is to love as Jesus loved.

To love our Lord, our God, with all our strength, with our entire being, with everything we can. To love, love, and love; to return all the affection we receive every day from our Heavenly Father.

This is all that matters: all that God wants from us is simply our love, our relationship and communion with Him.

Everything in life, if it brings us closer to this, is beneficial; if it draws us away from this, it is harmful. Our soul is made in the image and likeness of the Lord. In love, we live in harmony; without love, we live in disharmony.

This is what the law establishes: “And Jesus said unto him: Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.” — Matthew 22:37–39.

The Lord, King of the Universe, is also like our Father and our Mother. The infinite, the incalculable, the immeasurable God treats us as His children.

Blessed be Your name, our Lord. Blessed are we by divine grace. Nothing is purer, sweeter, or more beautiful than Your magnificent love.

May our infinite God be revered by all, acknowledged by all, for His mercy toward us encompasses the entire world.

Know your God, the God of the sea and the Earth, of the rain and the sun, of space and the stars, of the infinite and the microscopic, the God who created life, beauty, nature, love, the everlasting blessing of eternal life.

Almighty God, of infinite love, eternal is Your grace. Prosperous are the days I dedicate to being by Your side; hopeful are the nights when I pray to meet You and feel the love that only Your glorious presence possesses.

Eternal is Your charm, merciful are Your destinies, radiant is Your face, miraculous are Your deeds.

Your power extends to the farthest reaches of the entire universe, but Your throne is claimed by love: the infinite love that moves even the hardest hearts; the love that brings peace and forgiveness to hearts burdened by the deepest anguish; the love that goes in search of the children lost in the dark night of the soul; the love that never departs; a love that never gives up; a benevolent, everlasting, endless love.
