Title: To Know Him is to Love Him
R. Mary pondered the ways of Jesus' Heart. She kept all these things in her heart. She knows Jesus' Heart.
If I want to know someone, I want someone who knows them well to instruct me all about that person. I am thirsty. Mary knows the ways of His Heart. She instructs me in the ways of His Heart. She lived His sorrows and His joys. His Heart was formed in her womb. She is and was so close to Him.
To love someone, I just love them. I accept them as they are, I just love them. I love their heart. I love all the things I do not touch. I grow in love the more I know them.
To know God is to love Him. He is love. He is all good. How do I know Him more? Someone can tell me about Him. I am hungry for His love but it takes the gifts of the Spirit working in me to understand, to know, to be wise, to thirst after this love. It takes grace that He gives to me to know Him. Ultimately, it is a gift from Him whereby I know Him more. He gives me the knowledge to understand.
Oh, God, how I thirst with all my heart to know, love and serve You more. I live for this union with You. Open me, oh Spirit, to know the things of God, to grow in deepest love of God. Impart to me all the graces I need for such union with You. I am Yours, Lord, mold me, fashion me into the creation the Father wants me to be.
I am fullest when I am deeply united to my God and aware of my relationship with Him, spending time with Him. He fills me. I am more like the Father intended me to be. I become more one in Him. I love you more as I see God living within you. I must look for the Christ in every living being.

The gifts of the Spirit come from God. I need the gifts of the Spirit. I cannot explain the love of God in words. He gives me graces to comprehend this love. I know His love in my heart. I cannot describe this love in words. He ultimately releases gifts whereby I grow in my knowledge and love of Him.
Note: I stopped at the Center to be with Him for 20 minutes.
I just want to be with Him. To live in this world is a cross, I want to stay here in front of the tabernacle.
I realize His presence within constantly, but it is so joyful for me, so exciting for me to be with Him in front of the tabernacle--words do not express my feeling. I realize more and more the Father and the Holy Spirit.
I saw a ball of fire, I saw hearts merging.
