I pour new wine into your heart… October 2, 2025
Sitting in front of the Blessed Sacrament, my mind is wandering as I view Jesus through the lens of my imagination... He is seated at table, pouring wine out of a simple clay pitcher into similar simple clay cups. He is surrounded by friends and is smiling broadly, talking and looking keenly into the eyes of those He is enjoying company with. The air is one of joy, celebration and friendship of a simple get- together. As I sit here alone I have a sense of joy and peace as I know that my Lord is excited and happy that I am here visiting him and He is celebrating that fact...
“A long lost friend knocks at the door of your house, and upon opening it, bewilderment turns to joy as you welcome him with open arms. The talk is lighthearted and easy, as you give your guest fine wine. The joy is nourished by the warmth of that wine and joy precipitates more joy. That is how it is when you come and visit Me here in My most Holy Sacrament. How great is My joy when I see you enter My Sanctuary to sit with Me! How great is our lighthearted conversation, the eagerness of Me to listen to your day, what your new projects and aspirations are. I await even longer, eager to hear about the longings of your heart, the obstacles that beset you, the petitions that you offer for your friends and family as I coax you to open up more and more to Me. I pour more new wine into the vessel of your heart so that you can partake more of My joy and then as you rest in silence upon the altar of My Heart, you leave then satiated with My Love in grace, peace and joy, to continue your onward journey. As you would to your friends say, I also say as we part, to you: “Please come again... it has been too long.” Yes, I wait for you. Give joy to your Creator and allow Me to give you joy. My door is always open to you. Peace!”
I am sitting here now and I can hardly stop smiling with joy...
…I am still reflecting, as the Tabernacle is now open but the joy that I just before experienced is changing... and now I sense a profound sadness as if the Sacred Host is weeping. Amidst that, I sense that I am now the one comforting my Jesus, as if I am spiritually with him in the garden of Gethsemane. I had looked at the clock, and thought that I would leave in a few more minutes, as I already had spent a little over a half hour as it was late and I was tired. Then I sensed the following entreaty: “Please, please!...”
“Please, please, you who know Me and love Me: do not leave Me alone! Can you not spend one hour with Me? I thirst! I weep as I see, through all the ages, all those who do know Me but do not come, and those who actively know Me, despise Me and deliberately live desecrated lives. Ponder upon the love that I have for all of mankind. How far are they from Me! My Heart is rent open again and again by blasphemies, but My Heart also weeps for those people with a wrenching desire for them to look upon Me as a loving and merciful God who loves them to the end. I thirst! I weep for those who will not come. So now here, in front of Me, come in the stead for all those who cannot or will not come, and offer up this time for their conversion. Can you imagine their joy when they see Me as I truly am... intoxicating Love, eternal Joy, blissful Peace? Please, My beloved ones, don't leave Me alone but hearken to My tears as they fall upon the parched earth, barren of Love. Fertilize the soil with your prayers of love for your fallen brethren so that new life may spring up where now, none is seen. Thank you for your love.”
