Be With Me My Jesus

My alarm goes off and I am
struggling to begin my day
my Lord.

I begin to make my bed and I
find my crucifix underneath
my pillow.

Oh !  How it made me smile
as I held tightly on the cross.
I gently give my cross a kiss
and place it by my bedside.
"You are most beautiful
my Lord."

I go downstairs and fix my
toast and hot chocolate. I
straighten up my living room
and manage to clean the
kitchen.

I decided to pray The Divine
Mercy prayer / in making
my five crosses on my 
forehead with my given
kiss on my thumb /
representing Jesus
on the Cross.
I end my prayer in saying:
I join my cross with your cross.

Please ! Be with me my Jesus !

I press forward in getting ready
for the day.  I need to go to town
and do some errands.

I make my way through the
store and managed to get the
ingredients for my special
chili.

Before leaving the store, I
caught sight of a young child
sitting alone on a bench near
the exit.

I noticed there were nobody around,
to look after him.

I remained standing nearby to
see if anyone will come for the
child.

Finally , the child's grandmother
returned to him and he was
eager to  take her hand and
leave.

I then left the store to
carry out my own duties
that needed to be done
while I was still in town.

I finally arrive back at
my home and everything was
quiet.  I unload my groceries
and leave my ingredients out
to make my special chili.

Suddenly , I begin to cry
thinking about the little child
and how I kept watch over him.

I could feel Jesus whispering to me
"I know you my child, I am with
you in your loneliness.

I sadly walk into my living room
and sit on my couch sobbing.
I look over to a near by table
and discovered my crucifix
sitting there all alone.

I walked over and picked up
my crucifix and simply held
it in my hand.

I return back to my couch in
tears and still holding my
cross.
I yell out to Jesus !
"Be with me my Jesus !"

I held my crucifix near my
face and my tear drops keep
flowing down upon it.

I again ask my Lord
"Be with me my Jesus !"

I felt my Lord's presence all
around me and I could feel 
Jesus telling me
"I am with you my child, I
will never leave you."

I pray my Divine Mercy prayer
and end in saying:
Water from the pierced side of Christ
wash me.
Passion of Christ strengthen me.
(I join my cross with your cross.)

I felt peace of God all around me
and I rest a while on my couch
alone with my cross.

I decided to get started in making
my favorite chili recipe.

I kiss my Jesus on the cross
and place it gently on the table.

I begin to make my meal
for my family.
My Jesus is with me.

Psalm 102
O Lord , hear my prayer
and let my cry come to you.
Hide not your face from me
in the day of my distress
Incline your ear to me
in the day when I call
answer me speedily.

John Ch:14 Verse 2
My Father's house has many rooms,
if that were not so, would I have
told you that I am going there
to prepare a place for You ?

Jeremiah Ch: 1 Verse 5
I knew you before I formed you in
your mother's womb.

Psalm 139: Verses 13-18
For you created my inmost being,
you knit me together in my
mother's womb.
I praise you because I am
fearfully and wonderfully
made.  Your works are
wonderful , I know that
full well.

2 Corinthians Ch: 13 Verse 5
Or do you not realize about
yourselves that Jesus Christ
is in you ?
Jesus is literally practically,
dwelling within the believers.

Romans Ch:8 Verse 10
But if Christ is in you , though
the body is dead because of
sin, the spirit is life because
of righteousness.

Matthew Ch:28 Verse 20
I will be with you always,
even to the end of age.
This is not only a promise
of God's ever presence with
his people. It is one that
he will always fulfill,
regardless of where we
find ourselves in life.

Deuteronomy Ch :31 Verse 6
Be strong and courageous
Do not be afraid or terrified
because of them,  for the Lord
your God goes with you, he
will never leave you nor
forsake you. 

2 Corinthians Ch: 4 Verses 6-7

Because the God who said,
"Out of the darkness light
shall shine, is the one
who shines in our hearts
to illuminate the knowledge
of the glory of God in
the face of Jesus Christ.
But we have this treasure
in earthen vessels that the
excellency of the power may
be of God and not of us.
