The Fullness of Love

The symbol of French royalists(used by them during the war in the Vendée) . Of course hearts of us all shall be moulded after the Sacred Heart of Jesus

Sometimes love, this most beautiful of interpersonal relations,  is symbolized in the arts by the heart alone. Undoubtedly, such depiction refers to the romantic situation that may, at least to some extent, unite two people.  Still the symbol of a cross mounted on a heart seems to serve better as a sign of the genuine love:

The sole heart often seeks only its own pleasure, whereas  the cross enables people to love each other in season and out of season, binding the same heart tightly with its duty.

Dwelling Places

Christ is risen! Truly, He is risen!

On this Easter Sunday we all have seen some special grave, namely  the empty grave of Our Lord.
But where is Christ, or rather,  where should He be right now?
It is obvious that He left just-mentioned grave to find some better dwelling place for himself, and for us all...
A tomb or even a golden tabernacle is not enough for the living God, and a paradise - the only place that may be pleasing to our Creator and His beloved children  - is not an abstract void idea prepared for nobody.
That's why, He who is Love alone, and who came to bind heaven and earth with the golden chain of graces needs to dwell in your heart:
The place where heaven, inspired by the Holy Presence, may have its beginning.

The tabernacle

Why it is of the most importance for any Catholic to participate in the Holy Communion frequently, or better, to receive Jesus as often as it is possible? The answer is quite simple: Catholicism is not a mere knowledge about God – it is rather knowledge of God and His Love for you.

You can, of course, read letters from the person dear to you, you can talk about her(or him) all the time as well...Yet the true love and intimacy between you will not be possible until you really are well known to each other.

Yes, as you are in love, you want to know, seek, and understand – just be the second part of your loved one's heart.

Jesus loves you so much, and that's why He gives you such opportunity...Just become a living tabernacle for His Heart, not the one made of gold, but rather of your own body.

Tomasz, Racibórz

P.S. I will spend next week by Jesus' and Mary's side praying for you.
Altötting , La Salette, Lourdes, and Fátima ...In other words, the school of love for me. Pray that I can learn more from contemplating Our Lady's heart – the first living and loving, truly active tabernacle

(Since my dreams are just coming true some photos and smiles will be posted here soon ) :).

On the fortress of one's heart

Source: Google search engine

Many of knights and lords back in Middle Ages sought alliances with kings in order to gain victory they had dreamed of. 
We also are too weak to achieve victory against our temptations,vices, sins, at least without some special reinforcement. So we should -- like before-mentioned medieval warriors -- look for a help of a King, or rather the King, Jesus Christ.
He will help us unconditionally, yet we shall be as open as possible to become true benefactors of His grace.

This means we are oblige to pay a homage to Our King,like knights did to theirs ruler.
Such homage seems to be about giving up (bad books, stupid TV shows, one's laziness, impurity etc.) rather than giving.

Yet by so doing, you will grant your Saviour with well-prepared place to reign over.

Then He will win any battle for you, no matter what your weakness might be.
Just trust in Him and let Him into your heart - a fortress predestined to be rebuild, solid and therefore the victorious one.

Christ the King, help us.
