REALITY CHECK

+JMJ+

NO MATTER WHO dislikes or even if the entire WORLD hates me,

NO MATTER WHAT happens, regardless of what I may experience,

NO MATTER WHERE I may end up, even alone and lost,

NO MATTER WHEN I may experience suffering of any kind or combination,

NO MATTER THE REASON...

I MATTER because GOD LOVES ME.

I matter because I have life, that I MAY have SUPERNATURAL LIFE to OBEY GOD,

I AM, not because of what I think, but because GOD MADE ME.

HE GAVE HIS SON TO DIE FOR ME, AND THE HOLY GHOST TO TRANSFORM and CONFORM MY HEART AND WILL, that I may ascent to the one, true Faith.

God the Son loves me so much, that He suffered more than I can or will ever suffer in this life, so that no matter what the circumstance, I can remember that HE SUFFERED AND DIED FOR ME because HE LOVES ME.

I only need to concern myself with pleasing Him by avoiding sin and living in holy gratitude for His Creation, born out of His love.  This life I have is to give Him glory, by means of His Grace, which I may receive in the normal means He ordered since His death on the Cross.

Is this not proof also of His love, that I can know that I am loved?

Didn't the Blessed Mother --- a woman I have never seen with my own eyes --- pray for this poor, ungrateful creature, that I may have this Faith, that I may be obedient, as the servant she instructed at the wedding feast, "Do whatever He tells you?"

Yes, this is proof of the Blessed Mother and her power via her intercession.  Yes, this is proof of her Son's love, and that not long ago he suffered and died for me.  Yes, this is proof that there is a Heaven for those who give their wills and hearts to God in holy obedience to all He asks.  Here is proof of my purpose, that HUMAN LIFE IS ALWAYS INHERITANTLY GOOD by the fact that it is created to give HIM GLORY by the means of HIS GRACE, and OBEDIENCE to HIS LAWS.  All rights are His.

Sin is saying that my rights are separate from God's, and that I am not grateful for His Sacrifice.  Nothing that can happen to me is worse than what I can do against God by sin.  Lord, Make me, therefore, a most faithful servant, always close to your Mother, that she may always continue interceding for me, until I am safely united to You forever in Heaven.  Amen.
