Pio's Proverb 143: "You are the Warm Light that awakens me..."

Dearest Father, You are the Warm Light that awakens me. You are the Morning to Me, my inner Glow that surrounds a Treasure, Your Beautiful Presence within me. How I love the Morning that is You Who create this day Your Beautiful Dawn with me. I must hasten, therefore, and meet the Beautiful Morning that is You!"

Thank You, Father, for awakening by shining the sun directly into my eyes at 8: 07 am, today, January 10, 2012. My eyelids are not able to shield Your direct rays into my eyes and heart. You have decided to give me this new day full of surprieses and blessings. I offer up all my life, all that I am and have to You, Father, in Jesus - in Him, through Him and with Him now and within the Mases of the world where He is being offered to You as a living-Sacrifice of Thanksgiving from the rising to the setting of the sun - and all through His Mother, Mary, Mother of God and Mother of the Church and my dearest mom.

Thank You, Father for the "off-shore wind from the North that renders the lake like glass this morning. I can You, Father in the brilliant sun that is still is in my eyes and doubled by the reflection of the sun in the mirror Lake Saint Clare. There is not a breeze  - only the stillness and silence of Your penetrating Love into my heart and soul!

Thank You, Father, for giving me the faith to see You in nature...in the rays of light passing through the greed Geranium leaves of many window plants which only partly shield my eyes from the sun - this brilliant warm sun that is really Your "Good Moriing, son...here's a new day for you!"

Thank You, Father, for all the blessings and surprises You are planning for me, today. Thanks for "today". You awakened me this moring and especially at my conception in my mom's womb. I was sleeping then, too, but the ray of Your Creative Light penetrated her womb and made me, even then, your son. I offer that great moment to You today with thanks for Your thinking me into being...and planning all my days...all already numbered at the moment of my conception.

Thank You, Father, for all the talents of art, painting, writing, loving that You poured into my soul at the moment of my first seconds of life. You had me in your mind for all eternity; and now at that moment You could fulfill Your creativity upon me....and You do so for every baby in the womb today who are persons - body and soul - at conception. Please protect all fetuses from conception from the great evil of abortion. Please let the "Life at Conception Act" be passed by Congress that will declare all fetuses in the womb  frm conception as "Human Persons" - and thus protected by our 14th Amendment: "No..state shall deprive any person of life, liberty and the pursuit of law without due process of law.."

Thank You, Father, for You! You are the most loving God, the most generous and creative Dad in the Universe. You have made 8 billion people in the world; but You are not content with only 8 billion. You will not be content with 20 billion. You could easily create 120 billion on this planet by making all the deserts of the earth into vast agricutural oasies by use of our technology to be able to feet not only every person on the earth but even all the animals and birds of the earth as well. You see the whole earth as Your Noah's ark in which you make room for every one. You will let us also make colonies of other planets that we will discover just as Columbus discovered this "new world" by sailing west to get to the East. If we discover "new advancaed natives" on these planets, so much the better. We will show them how to grow hybrid corn as they show us how to live harmoniously in peace. All this You have forseen as You made in one instant the gentle big bang that began it all.....and you completed in 7 of Your days of Creation....You made it all and how many universes You made we do not know. How many peoples You have made we do not know; but there is only one race of people: the Human Race...all nationalities or variations on this earth and other planets..are ONLY nationalities not different races. In Your mind, there is no plural of the word race because Your children are all "made in Your image and likeness." Therefore, all Your children on this planet and all planets in the Universe are all of one Human Race. You know, Father, that "humanity" comes from the Latin word "humas" - "of the earth" which is related to the Latin "humanus' which is related to "homo, hominis" - "mankind...because all have been made from the "dust of the earth." You can see all the other planets, teeming with life, and all the peoples of these planets that You have already made them from the "dust of their ground" as well. What a joy it will be to meet them and see Your beauty in them because everthing You create is Beautiful...because You are Beautiful!

The sun, Father, is still in my eyes as I write to you and I even have to bend down and let my one hand be my shield as I type with the other. Father, what a Marvelous God are You.....what a joy to know You, the only One and True God. Besides You, there is no other god....unless we create a idol of our desires and place a wall to shield us from Your loving Light. Please, today, tear down all the idols and walls that people build to shield their eyes from Your loving look...But, Father, You can see everywhere and everyone. Lead all those atheists to know Your love and not be afraid of such a loving Father like You, the Father that welcomed the Prodigal Son to come home and ran to meet him and embraced and kissed him and made a great celebration for him because "he was lost and is now found; because he was dead and has come back to life."

Father...with You I shall always be....so I know You will bless my day today and surprise me moment by moment..because You will be there with Your eyes like the sun to penetrate my mind and heart and in my ways that I walk to keep me from stumbling and to keep me from not missing the Beauty that is You in all that I see today...thank You, Father. I love You, Father...how can I not love You...You are so Beautiful and kind and loving a Dad - my Abba, Father, now and forever!
Ok..Father, let us go forward today into the unknown light of a new day together. At the end of this day, Father, I will come back and tell you what You gave me this day...how you filled it with Your love. Amen..in Jesus Name...I pray.

Love, Pio.

Hours later:

Father!! What a tremendus day of Light!!  I went for a walk at St. John's Marsh.....a path of pure nature and light. A path to silence and contemplation, a path to You, Father!  Father, I find this quote so very true of You: "Every good gift and every perfect gift comes down from the Father of Light. Everything today is all about the Light. I am amazed that I was awakened by you just as I was awakened from nothingness in the womb at the light of my conception....as my mother was herself bathed in the warm light. I was myself able to see the light penetrate her womb when I became more developed and her womb was translucent. Papa, I saw today a very nice dog come up to me on the path in the marsh....her name was Lucy (Light)!  And my friend. Johnny Mac, told me to read a book called "Secrets of the Light" by Dannion Brinkley who had died but was awakened by the light. Father....everything is light today. The sky is cloudless; and the sun is warm and brilliant. It is winter but the most summery day of winter I can ever remember having. Thank you, Father, for light and all its comfort, warmth and beauty. I know the light of the sun has been here for billions of years; but for me, it has only been here for 73 years and 9 months: my true age. Father, I love You. Who are You, really? I wish I knew more about You. Please share with me as much about Yourself as my soul can take! I cannot love You more and more unless You reveal Yourself more and more. I know in heaven You will continue to reveal Yourself more and more to me for all eternity ...forever and ever; and You will never exhaust Yourself in revealing Yourself.  My love and awe and affection for you will grow forever and ever..and I will be wowed by You more and more...the best entertainment ever of the heart......but please start now...please start now to reveal to me all that You are as much as You wish to share with me....I love You..."

Later this evening: Father, thank you for breakfast with Benjamin and conversing on philosophy over a wonderful meal from Your bounty.  Thanks too for our visit to my ship, "The Saint Raphael" that was good to see after a few years in storage. I hope, Father, that I can bring it home next spring and place it in a spot that I can see it from my window...to keep a watchful eye on it...especially when rough weather comes. It is a magnificent New England Skipjack that is one of only two in Michigan. I was such a great gift from You in 1994 and hopefully I can sail her this spring. You are the Giver of good gifts. You are the Father of lights who just cannot seem to stop blessing me over the years and even help me to see with better eyes all that You have given long ago...with the thought that later in my life I would appreciate and need them even more. Your gifts are therefore Providential and longitudinal......You are a marvelous and most Creative God. I love You, Father!

Father, You have given me so many gifts through the years: life, family love, children, the True Catholic-ChristianFaith, the best parents, best brothers and sisters, the best education, the ability to see and hear, walk and talk, the creative arts of painting, sculpting, writing and all with the Holy Spirit and Jesus......but the best and most marvelous Gift, the Greatest Gift beyond the Universe...is You! ...and our everlasting relationship. Father, You once told me in a Voice that echoed down eternity: "You belong to Me!"  I do belong to You; and that means that You, Father, belong to me as well. I know that "with You, Father, I shall always be!"  I love You!  Thank You!

Love, Pio xoxo
