John Tauler Spiritual Conferences, Inscribe Text



Saint Augustine said: “Empty yourselves so that you may be filled.”

In another place our Lord said that he is the door through which we must pass. When we pray we must knock on three places on this door if we are to be truly let in.

1.We must knock with all devotion upon the Sacred Heart of our Lord Jesus Christ, the heart that was opened to us in love, the side that was pierced. We must go in there with all devotion, acknowledging that we are the poorest of the poor, that we are nothing; and like the poor man Lazarus before the rich man’s gate, we must beg for the crumbs of grace. He will give us his grace divinely and supernaturally.
2. Next we must knock upon the holy open wounds of his sacred hands, and pray to him to give us knowledge of himself, to enlighten us and lift us up to him.
3. Lastly we must knock upon the door of his sacred feet, and ask him for a love that is divine and true, a love that will unite us with him completely, so that we are submerged and wrapped up in him.

May our loving God help us all so to ask, seek and knock that we may be let in.
