Loving God

[fellow_servant]

I love God with all my heart after realising fully the tremendous love he has for us. I have always loved God but now there’s pure love in my heart for our truly amazing God. But with this pure love comes an awful pain of sorrow for all my sins although filled with joy at the thought of God am also burdened with shame at my sins anyone have the same experience and know what to do. Plus anyone know ways to remember God more often I LOVE GOD

It is normal and proper to feel remorse and contrition for sin. The proper action is to receive the Sacrament of Penance as soon as possible.

To remember God during the day, start developing a “Plan of Life.” You can look it up on the internet.

Start slow with memorizing some good catholic aspirations and recite these several times during the day. You can find aspirations in any good prayer book. I have a little red prayer book from Miles Christi - www.mileschristi.org. It is one of the best I have ever had.

Keep growing!

I have the same little prayer book. Just got it this weekend on a retreat I think I’m going to buy lots of copies and give them out to lots of folks. The aspirations are a great idea. It only takes a few seconds to say or think, “Jesus, I love you!” or “Thank you, God, for my life,” etc.

I am not sure what exactly a “Plan of Life” is though I am going to go look it up now, but I wrote out a little schedule for myself that includes time for prayer at various points in the day.

And yes, run, do not walk, to the Sacrament of Penance, and go to Mass as often as you can!

This is a great blessing God has given you.

Start praying and looking for a spiritual director, easier said than done and it might take a while but it’s invaluable.

While you are feeling this closeness to God develop a pattern of prayer in your daily life, attend daily mass when possible (when you can’t, read and think about the daily mass readings which can be found online at usccb.org and make a spiritual communion), frequent confession, schedule a time each day when you will meet with the Lord and be faithful to this, have a notebook with you during this time to write down thoughts that may come to you then. You may have to make some small changes in your life to make room for the time to do these things.

There will come a time when God will gently allow some of these feelings to lessen. This is when you show your love and trust in Him by remaining faithful and these good habits will help you very much when that happens.

Thank You for your comments this love I have for God is really new to me I feel that my faith has reached it’s optimum and if someone was to hold a gun to my head I wouldn’t squint cause I know there is a God who loves me.(doesn’t mean am gonna do something stupid) does this all sound like pride because I just feeling like bursting I love God. For many years my parents (atheists) have mocked my religion and have made me doubt God calling him an “imaginery friend” oh but how wrong they are. What is happening to me does this all sound like the sin of pride should I act upon these feelings and become more zealous. Is the lord calling me to become a nun.
