SIRACH 24:19-22 (2025)

SIRACH 24:19-22

Come to me, you who desire me and take your fill of my fruits. 
To experience me is sweeter than honey 
and to possess me sweeter than any honeycomb. 
Those who eat me will hunger still; 
those who drink me will thirst for more.
Those who obey me will not be put to shame; 
those who serve me will not fall into sin.

---- mine,

Every moment of every day, and even in the hours you are asleep, I call you by your name, inviting you to know Me more deeply and intimately. The more you know Me, the greater your love for Me and the more you will desire Me. I AM God, and I AM love, and I love you with a love that desires nothing but your good. Come to Me. In a world full of distractions that the devil uses to lure you from Me and from intimacy with Me, listen and recognize the sound of My Voice. I speak softly, gently, tenderly. Listen and be guided by Me, and I will lead you to green pastures. I will let you drink deeply from the stream of living
water. I will make you lie down in the shade of My Love, and I will keep you safe from the Enemy. I will feed you with the Bread of Angels, Manna from Heaven, the Holy Eucharist - My Body and My Blood. You will eat and be filled, and you will walk in the Way that I have walked. Even though the way is narrow and difficult, I will be with you, I will go before you, I will lead the Way, and when the journey becomes difficult, I will take you by the hand and lead you. If necessary, I will carry you. Be not afraid, ---- my own, stay close to Me and trust Me. I assure you I will bring you safely home to Myself and there you will remain with Me forever. This promise is not just for you but for all those you love and plead and pray for.  I AM the God who saves. Believe, have faith.  I AM God, and I keep My Word.
