35. Surrender, Surrender, Surrender

This happens spiritually, certainly we can say this is the example that's being given here, but think about the privilege of receiving Holy Communion, that's taking Him into yourself, especially if you are filled with grace.

He says, when my grace is in possession of more people, surrendering ourselves more and more perfectly, and part of that surrender is involves going to confession frequently so that the best disposition can be brought to our receiving Holy Communion so that he finds himself not only welcome because of your desire to receive him, but a beautiful preparation to receive him.

And we have this great privilege, challenging as it may be with all the different limitations that parishes have to experience, spacing and what have you.

But making the effort is part of the sacrifice and pleases him very much.

Then she says, I would consider myself so happy if I arrived at drawing my beloved Jesus alive.

completely into me there's a place in the upper volumes where Jesus makes it clear that he wants us to be like a skin for his presence in other words like a glove for the hand so that he is in fact occupying all of us because he is so welcome and because there's nothing that is resisting him in any way it's that greater is he that is in me than he that is in the world or I must decrease so that he can increase.

If our desire is such that we are surrendering more and more so that he can increase, as our independence or self-interest is decreasing, that's very pleasing to him, and it helps us move towards better receptivity for the gift of the divine will.
