At the Feet of Jesus

I was just at a retreat that I helped coordinate but to be honest I felt more like a participant than a leader.  The kids at the retreat showed me how amazing it is to lay it all at the feet of Jesus.

I was suffering and didn't know it.  

I didn't know that the weight of the world was on my shoulders.

But spending time with Jesus and letting go was so....there are no words...

A few years ago I painted this 

It was a vision I had 

and 

it resembles my relationship with Christ.  

I lay it all down at the feet of Jesus.

We have to remember that Christ died to carry the cross, we were not meant to do it alone.  We have to learn to let go and let God.  How hard is that when you think that if you were to let go...then...everything would fail and then you become the failure.  How NOT true is that.  When we finally let go, we are set free.

A quote from a friend:

"Without the Cross, the Eucharist would not have meaning.   He gave us the Eucharist so He could be with us until the end of time.  The next day He suffered and died for us.   I think about the crucifixion that shows how much He loves us and wants to be with with us, to continually feed us with His body and blood.  I find so many young people and adults who do not know the great love God has for all of us or understand the Real Presence, mostly because they have not been taught."

So we must go out and be a witness to this great LOVE!
