May our feet journey together.
May our hands gather in unity.
May our hearts beat in unison.
May our souls be in harmony.
May our thoughts be as one.
May our ears listen to the silence together.
May our glances profoundly penetrate each other.
May our lips pray together to gain mercy from the Eternal Father.
Amen.
An excerpt from the diary of Elizabeth Kindelmann*
What a beautiful, powerful prayer Our Lord shared with Elizabeth: a prayer that expresses His eternal longings. The very longings that He has for each one of us! Let us look at them together and discover the love of our Savior.
May our feet journey together: Jesus longs to be with us – to walk with us on the narrow road that leads to life – to journey with us in good times and in bad, to realize we are never alone -- He is there and will never leave our side. He wants to accompany us in all we do, so we can bring His presence to all we meet.
May our hands gather in unity: As we go about our day, we use our hands to pray, to work, to play. With every movement of our hands, let us think about what we are doing, and picture Jesus doing it with us – This will lead us to live a holy life!
May our hearts beat in unison: What a gift – to have a heart in sync with Jesus! To be able to love as He does – unconditionally with no strings attached – to pour ourself out – to become another Christ!
May our souls be in harmony: This is a gift we truly long for since the fall. Jesus wants to give us this grace – a peace deep within our souls – a taste of heaven!
May our thoughts be as one: Saint Paul tells us to put on the mind of Christ. Our Lord expresses through Elizabeth that it is His desire for us. What freedom we would experience to be one in thought with Jesus!
May our ears listen to the silence together: God talks to us many times each day. Because of the noise around us, we fail to hear Him. Let us carve out moments of time to listen – silence is the language of God!
May our glances profoundly penetrate each other: The fact that our dear sweet Jesus wants to deeply gaze upon us and wants us to gaze upon Him in return, should melt our hearts! What a loving God we have -- He wants to look at us with love! A look, a glance, to penetrate and change our hearts, as well as our lives – a loving purification to help us become the man or woman God has called us to be from all eternity! May we be open to the gaze and return it in love.
May our lips pray together to gain mercy from the Eternal Father: Knowing Jesus will pray with us, pray in us, to petition the Father for mercy, for ourselves and the whole world is pure gift! We must take advantage of this grace our Savior wants to pour upon us. Never tire in our efforts to lift our hearts and minds in prayer, with Jesus, to our heavenly Father. It is His desire as well!
Amen: So be it!
**************************************************************
Let us make this prayer our own. As we pray it again and again, may our dear sweet Jesus obtain for us these very desires of His heart. May we meditate on it and teach it to others.
After teaching this prayer to Elizabeth, Jesus further explained the power it contained: “This is an instrument in your hands. By collaborating with Me, Satan will be blinded by it; and because of his blindness, souls will not be led into sin.”
Use the power of this prayer to blind Satan. Saving souls is the deepest longing and desire in the heart of God. There is not greater gift you can give to Him then to join in His work of redemption by prayer and sacrifice. Do not delay. Many souls are at risk. Soothe the heart of God and join in the battle!
