The Entrance Antiphon for today's liturgy reads: "Come, you blessed of my Father; receive the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world, alleluia." Imagine the Lord saying to you:
"Come,______(insert your name) , blessed one,
receive the Kingdom prepared for you
from the beginning of Creation.
You see, My Father's plan of salvation is eternal.
God is unchangeable; His love is everlasting.
From the beginning, He knew humankind would resist any authority.
Obedience would be met by human opposition and rebellion.
God would not be daunted.
He would carry out His plan to redeem you
from the ego's disobedience and strategizing to be in charge.
He'd reopen heaven by His Son's and His Son's mother's obedience;
a new Adam and a new Eve would not be disobedient.
You are graced by Jesus and Mary's submission to My will.
By their sufferings you are made whole.
By their obedience you are reconciled to Me, to your Father.
And that reconcilation is from the foundation of the world.
I, your God, made it so! That is my love for you personally
and for all humankind!
What is it like being a nun?
