He and I, Gabrielle Bossis 1945

September 20 -  Le Fresne church.
Feeling utterly empty,
I was a little frightened at the thought
of what I was going to write.  

 "Why be worried, since I am the one who is dictating? Do you think you would have been able to put down anything all by yourself? My poor little child, you must be sure of Me in you. Perhaps you do not seek often enough to live within My aura  -  the aura of the Lover, the Mighty One. Yes, that's what I am: this joy."

Friends had come a long way to enjoy the moonlight
as they dined on the terrace.

"During these two hours of poetry that seemed to pass so quickly, it was I who led your conversation to the life beyond time.

Don't ever be afraid of pronouncing My Name. Am I not the greatest of friends? You call Me your most beautiful Love, and you are right. Then let Me look after everything in your short life. It will not go for ever since the end of does come. So cherish Me as a miser does his gold. How this would increase your charm, and through that very charm, your influence. It is I who go from you to others. I love to find channels. "

"Lord, make me a faithful and ready channel. " 

 "Examine yourself often. See if you play the part I have assigned to you with regard to others. I mean, the role of giving Me to others. "

"Lord, it is always very imperfect. " 

 "But you don't know. You don't know what goes on inside the one to whom you are talking. Can you see a soul? Can you see My grace? Oh, don't stop in your working - drive for Me. One day you will see the result. Be the faithful little servant who works all the better because she has secret converse with her most loving Master.
His is not a love like any on earth.
It's a love of flame and of fire. Then don't be amazed to feel your faculties alight, and to find that after this converse
you have risen to a higher plane of consciousness by the route of the joyous ascension. "

O thank Me for your creation. Turn your life toward Me. Never cease to look at My love enfolding you; and feeling loved, love Me.

 22 Aug 2014

HE And i Gabrielle Bossis

1940 November 4  -   Nantes. Recreation time.

 "Do you at last believe with all your heart that I created you in order to make you eternally happy? 

It was out of pure love that I made you  -  not for My own interest but for yours: to give you infinite bliss.

O thank Me for your creation. 

Turn your life toward Me. 

Never cease to look at My love enfolding you; and feeling loved, love Me.

You know how much more intensely one loves when one feels loved. 

It's like an animated conversation. 

Only in this one there is no need of any words. 

We love; that's all. 

And I am so much yours that you don't even feel that I come down or that you rise up, but it seems quite simple to you that we talk to each other on the same level, share as equals, even exchange our two hearts, since for Bridegroom and bride everything is in common, and although you give yourself utterly, you keep your personality and only enhance it the more. "

COMMENT: HE AND i "I am the Host. You are the monstrance."

Subject: [Blog] HE AND i

Dear Father Donald,

He and I....  I have been gradually trying to edit (format, align, etc) the 'pirate' copy of the text that I 'grabbed' off the internet link (albeit incomplete - any little part valued), with three emotions: vexation at my editorial progress, absorption (yet toiling with frustration owing to the distraction of editing), and guilt ("but I shouldn't be doing this"!). This evening I pasted the ISBN number into Amazon in a moment of despair, and there-and-behold three UK sellers, each with a copy! I took the first one at (£14.75). I took the ISB number from the weblink copy: ISBN 2-89039-807-2.

This wonderful book, through your introduction, has become daily a delight to ponder- and soon! without the textual frustration (and sense of guilt).

Thank you indeed for such a companion spirit.

with my love in Our Lord,

William

PS. eg - this one entry has held me and searched me whenever in company, especially after receiving the Blessed Sacrament:

1937

 

YOU AND i
May 19 Paris. 

In the 'metro'.

"I am the Host. You are the monstrance. The golden rays are the blessings I give through you."

From the PROOFING   

March 29  – 1940

In the country. In the great hall: "Perhaps I talk to You too familiarly?" 

"But since we are on family terms nothing could give Me greater pleasure. One who understands My desire opens his heart at all times. I have so much love for a soul that its faintest call finds an echo in Me. Don't be afraid of expressing yourself. Put your mouth to My ear. I'm listening."

While I was digging around the hydrangeas.

 "Be one with Me in My toil as a carpenter. It is not what you do that matters, but the way you love Me while you work. And love is oneness. Give Me the spectacle of a soul engulfed in its Saviour, and this will be joy, My joy."

In a country church, seeing that I was making no progress, I said, "Lord, I've come to the end of looking after myself, so I'm putting myself entirely in Your hands".

 "If you only knew what a joy it is for Me to count for something in a life at last. I can make a new woman of you.""When you were little you wanted someone to take your hand when you crossed the street. Ask Me often to take your hand, because you are always little. Don't ever think that you can do anything good without Me."

You aren't a little church all by yourself. You are part of the great activity of Christ in the breath of the Spirit

  

August 3 - After communion (absentminded)
“I'm here." (In a tone of gentle reproach)

This passing phrase of Gabrielle was sufficient for several days - simply the Lord, “I'm here." 

And in turn a fuller passage is alive, giving voice to the seeds already growing, "You aren't a little church all by yourself. You are part of the great activity of Christ in the breath of the Spirit."

YOU AND i by Gabriel Bossis.

1949 August· 4 - Holy hour.

''When you are at My feet praying or meditating, why not be one in spirit with all the pure in heart who are praying and meditating? You aren't a little church all by yourself. You are part of the great activity of Christ in the breath of the Spirit. And in isolating yourself you would break the chain. So be linked together with-other fervent people and aware of My desire for you all .to be one. You remember My seamless robe?

Become humble enough to lose yourself in everyone else and eager enough for merits to seek to benefit by the merits of your brothers, since I permit this. I am the Father who has found a way to help His children get rich quickly. And having explained this to them, I wait for them to profit by it, for I suffer more than they do from their poverty. My little girl, you don't see how poor you are. If your eyes were opened, how careful you would be to cover your dress with someone else's garment in order to be pleasing in My sight.

Do you want to think more often of this daily union with all My Christians in the world at this moment? The suffering ones, the persecuted, the abandoned, those in exile and in prison, those who are martyred for My Name's sake, the souls in ruined bodies who continue to bless Me, to serve Me and to call Me with all their love right to their very last breath? Unite with them so that you may lose nothing of all this. Try to grasp the fact that these new treasures bring you ever nearer to Me. This is your goal: to reach Me. And I am so eager to have you that I stoop down, stretching out My two hands to you. Don't turn away. It's the proud who refuse a free gift. How I long for you to do Me the favour of accepting My help. I'll be even tempted to say, 'Thank you!' "

Gabrielle Bossis Holy Hour, reflection Day of Sacred Hear of Jesus

It is the Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus and found the Holy Hour below apt for the words: "You will see Me everywhere.

I’ll be your Host and your Guest, who has taken your heart and asks the free gift of it.

Two lives in one”.

Following from Gabrielle, "Lord, to console You in Your AGONY", after the Gospel at  the Community Mass  John 19:37 They shall look on Him Whom they have pierced. [Zech. 12:10.] widens to the Bible reflection. Next Blogspot.

YOU YOU AND i, P102_103 Gabrielle Bossis

October 24 – 1940 – Holy Hour.

“Allow me, Lord, to console You in Your agony as though I had been created for that alone.”

“Direct everything in you to this end – all that I have given you, for it is I who gave you everything – your heart, your understanding, your memory.

It is I who gave you an imagination capable of stirring your heart. Is it too much to expect that you will use My gifts for Me? When you offer them I forget that I have given them to you. I receive them as though they came from you, and My heart is so touched. If you only knew...? I am like a happy father: ‘My little girl did that for Me.’ And I am much more than an ordinary father. But only in heaven will you see these delicate touches I’ve received from my children.

Let this encourage you to live very close to Me, to find life impossible without Me. Let me share everything. Disappear ceaselessly in My heart. And be sure that I’ll replace you. Always act as though you saw Me, for I am really there. And aware of the great yearning, the intense thirst that I have for souls, surrender yourself unceasingly as though it were for the first time. For Me, it will always be like a first joy to receive you.

Don’t get the idea that it is the greatest number of prayers that touches your God. It’s the way you speak to Him. Be irresistible in love, abandonment and humility.

And when you ask Him for bread, He will not give you a stone, but a double portion...

When you tidy your house, think that it is Mine and you will make it more beautiful.

When you prepare your meals think that it is to honour Me.

And when you rest your body, think that it is My body, My friend; and this is the reality since all that you have is first Mine, isn’t it?

You will see Me everywhere.

I’ll be your Host and your Guest, who has taken your heart and asks the free gift of it.

Two lives in one”

Pentecost Sunday -after Benediction incense lingers

Gabrielle  Bossis

Gabrielle’s longer day, on this Thursday, had the words from “My Heart” and begins “I am like a child”. Syllabic words, in simple phrases, and in not easy sentences take me to read over and over.

1.                 Suffer little children come to me.

2.                 The linguist Naom Chomshy on the universal grammar discovered in under five children touches in the mystery of language.

3.                 Dyslexics, geriatrics, those suffering communication problems open windows from the ‘YOU AND i’ pages of Gabrielle.

Gabrielle Bossis’ pages draw a magnetism in a childlike style. It is the grace through this voice. It begins to warm heart, to light thought, enliven the word.

YOU AND i – Gabrielle Bossis

1945  p214/5

November 22 1945

-                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Thursday

“I am like a child who has been waiting all week for this day to come. You come to me and love Me. For an hour we are all in all to one another, forgetting created things to such an extent that if an angel announced the end of the world, that the message would make no impression on your mind and you would remain at rest on My heart.

You too do Me the honour of waiting for Thursday as for a festive occasion – the celebration of My heart. Summon up all your powers to love, to hope and to believe. Tell Me how helpless you are and I’ll fill the emptiness so that as you love, you will give the impression that it is I living in you.

I love to live My life again on earth through My children. If you knew how few allow Me to do this.”

“Lord, my body and my soul are your home. May all my powers be used for Your glory.”

Then do something to atone for your self-love and self-love of others. To make amends should be joyous you know, since it heals and since it is for love. It is sin that is sad – the continual tendency to self-love that often makes you forget your God.

O try to exchange self-love for God-love. No longer thing of yourself at all. How this would lighten you! And what a new entry into Me! For I am eternally new, I am the infinite One, and it is for the Infinite that you have been created.”

You and I 

by Gabrielle Bossis

p.255 1947 Part Two 

April 25, 1947 - Montmartre.

A light bulb was missing in front of the Blessed Sacrament. "Lord, let my heart burn before You there in its place."

“To burn would not be enough. You must be consumed. I mean you must burn right out. This is what I did for you, for all of you. Don't you feel the desire to do the same for Me? This is what it means to simplify everything in you to a single principle, a single élan towards your great Friend. Isn't this restful? Isn't it your goal? And don't you find that this changes your entire being? You can see that My call is blessing, can't you, and that your response will bring you joy?

O answer! Answer unceasingly. Your strength will increase and you will give it to others so that it will go from soul to soul as a torch is passed from hand to hand. The living spring is your Christ. Drink at the very fountainhead, for the closer you come to the fountain-head the more your cup will run over.

Oh, My little girl, don't seek Me far from yourself.

You have Me right within you as a candle has its flame.”

'cleft of the rock' Ex.33:22 Ascension Thursday

"and it will come about, while My glory is passing by, that I will put you in the cleft of the rock and cover you with My hand until I have passed by. (Exodus  33:22 NASB) 

The Tabernacle is in a hole of the wall. 

It is like 'the cleft of the rock' where Moses had asked to see the face of the glory of the Holy One. 

Last evening the sunshine illuminated the Oratory behind the Choir.

May - "Lord, is this my last holy hour on earth?"

"May all your hours be holy hours now. There are so few before the last.

You are white as snow through the Anointing and its graces. ( ... ) My love has washed away every stain. ( ... ) If I love you at all times, I am even more moved in this great moment when the last visitor comes. May she do all she should for you. But rest in My arms while you wait for the final moment when the very last veil will be rent.

Now, My friend, here is your work: Regret, regret, regret your sins. And love, love, love ever more and more the One whose name is Love."

"Lord, take my little flame in Your fire."

Put your whole soul into it. Believe in the infinite tenderness. You realize that you are too timid. Then venture out on My love. Hope. Come, My beloved, come and tell Me everything you have not dared to say."

May 23 - Communion of the Sick.

"Poor little soul, you've waited to the very last minute of your life to believe in My boundless compassion, in the final forgiveness. Have no more fear of anything. It would wound Me if you were afraid. Surrender your whole being to love, my beloved:'

                                                      able to love You."    _
