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,
Come to Me. Hunger and thirst for Me alone and for nothing else in the created world. You were created by My Father for Me. I redeemed you, I saved you, I came in search for you over and over again when you were lost. I cajoled you with words of tenderness. I wooed you, and when you would not listen to Me, when your heart grew stubborn, and you ran away from Me because you preferred to sin, I did not give up on you but pursued you until I found you. When you refused to listen and there was danger of you doing great harm to your immortal soul, I punished you. I laid the cross on you, for only through suffering would you listen and return to Me and to My Sacred Heart. ---- my own, I love you with a love that is beyond anything you can ever fathom. I love you so much that I would lay down My life all over again if you were to be lost to Me forever. But you did return, you did repent, and now you plead for Me for the salvation of those you love. Do you imagine I will not hear you? Did I not long for your return as well? Do not be anxious, it pleases My Father to grant Me all I ask for, and I have asked that they will be saved and return to Me just as you returned to Me. I give you My Flesh to eat and My Blood to drink, and you feast at the Banquet of Love daily at Holy Mass. Nothing pleases Me more than to fill your mouth with the finest wheat, the Bread of Life, and to give you a taste of the sweetest wine, My Blood. Have no fear, but continue to pray and hope and offer all for the greater glory of God and for the hastening of My Kingdom. Be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.
