I saw this amazing teaching of FR. Leo Clifford and it was so spot on with life and what awaits us when we are called to God. The link is down below.
The beauty of the pure love that God has for us is something that I know is bigger than we could ever imagine.
How do I know?
It’s quite easy for me to explain, I felt this love on a couple of different occasions in my life and the joy was more that I could handle. My heart exploded and I got a glimpse of what the love of God is.
God’s love supersedes our understanding . So many beautiful things that we experience in this life are beautiful. But none of my life’s experiences have come even close to that level of total love that I have felt in those brief encounters.
One of the times that this experience happened to me was during confession and spiritual direction a few years back. I was crying from the overwhelming joy of love that God poured through me. Fr. Said it was a gift to me from God on my journey to let me know he is pleased.
The bottom Line is this. Fr. Said it is a glimpse of what Heaven would be like with Jesus Christ/ God.
My response as I attempted to compose myself and sit up straight was, I cannot handle this love then. Fr. R looked at me with a questioned look on his face . I just said it is too much for me to handle. Too much beauty.
I have said that I would always be honest about what I write here on this blog because it is not all me.Its happening to me and I am merely relaying my journey here.
God does not want me to experience one thing more here in this life than he does for you . We are all the same in his eyes. Ask, and you shall receive.
Why I had the feeling that I could not handle the love of Heaven at that time in confession has been thought about many times through prayer since the 1st event happened.
This is my opinion on this matter,
I am a sinner in ways that I am sure that I am unaware of . When God calls me I will still be unworthy to be in his presence . I do believe we need to go to purgatory in order to be purified before we arrive in Heaven. I guess the amount of time we spend there will depend on how we lived our lives here.
Some may not believe that and that’s okay. I can only speak for myself. I know on my best day I am not worthy. I am not beating myself up I am just being truthful and honest. Amen.

We Wait For You (Shekinah Glory) & Lyrics (Shekinah is God.)
Psalm 42 versers 7-9
7 Deep calls to deep in the roar of your waterfalls; all your waves and breakers have swept over me. 8 By day the LORD directs his love, at night his song is with me– a prayer to the God of my life. 9 I say to God my Rock, “Why have you forgotten me? Why must I go about mourning,oppressed by the enemy?”
This scripture in my opion said this,
The trials of this life roar at me I acknowledge that The Lord who is my rock is with me on this journey and guides me in the day as I toil. At night time when I have a worried mind he comforts me and soothes me with the music of his word. When we are at our weekest ( When we are tired) is when the evil decides I will get them upset and make them worry. We can’t sleep and are thinking God why aren’t you stopping him from this crap ?
Why must I be oppressed.
The answer in my opinion is this. pray,pray,pray talk from the heart and you will see the effect. Peace pours down through the mercy seat and we are washed by the healing blood of Christ. Nothing can bother you too much when we put ourselves in front of the one who created all. This is the world that we have as a result of sin. So, these challenges are part of of our daily journey.
God Bless You,
Danny
