Esther 15:9, 11-12

“What is it? I am your brother. Take heart. Come, speak to me.” He raised the golden scepter, touched her neck with it, then he embraced her saying, “Speak to me.”

---- My Own, Speak to Me. Confide in Me. Am I not Your Brother, Your Spouse, Your Redeemer and Your Friend? I, who hold You in the deepest intimacy when you receive Me in Holy Communion am King of Kings, Ruler of the heavens, the earth and the underworld, and all things seen and unseen, lay My scepter on you inviting you not to be afraid. Make known your heart’s desires to Me. Have I not made you co-heir with Me? I who have laid down My life for you, I who care for you am here. I have called you by your name, approach Me, come close to Me, lay your head on My Heart and speak.

John 11:28

“The Master is here and is calling for you.”

----My Own, I am here. Closer to you than your heart beat, closer to you than the breath you breathe. I am here, I call you by your name, you are Mine. Never will I forsake you each time you call Me I will be there. Do not be anxious or afraid for I the Lord your God pledge to be with you all your days.

 Luke 22:27b

“I am among you as one who serves.”

---- My Own, don’t be afraid of your calling to serve. The world tends to look down on servants. In fact they are often invisible; yet if they were not there their loss would be felt. What are the ways in which you are called to serve? It is not complicated – you serve within the context of your vocation in life. Serve as if you were serving Me. Let your service be prompt, cheerful, thorough, complete, wholehearted and done with love.  Nothing pleases Me more and such service will be greatly rewarded by My Father in heaven. 

I came to serve not to be served and to offer My life as a ransom for many. This is you mission too and the mission of all who bear My Name for the servant is not greater than the Master.

Job 42:2
I know that You are all powerful; no plan of Yours can be thwarted.


My Own, why are you anxious and worried. What has all your experience of Me taught you? What has all the years of intimate relationship with Me revealed to you about Me? Why are you downcast? Why do you permit your heart to lie heavy within you? Where is your hope, your trust and your confidence in Me. Because I am both God and Man I understand and I give with open hand. Come to Me and receive with certainty and confidence for I make all things possible to those who believe. Know that I love you with an everlasting love, you are Mine.

Baruch 4:30
Take courage, __________. He who has named you will console you.
---- My Own, I who have named you will console you. Do not be discouraged. Do not allow your peace to be taken away from you. How often must I assure you that you are Mine and no harm will come to you. In this life you will have difficulties but be of good cheer I have overcome the world. Keep Me in the center of your life and I will hold it, protect it, and preserve it. Don’t worry, don’t be anxious, and don’t be afraid. In this life you will have sorrow and tribulations but be of good cheer I have overcome the world. Be confident, take heart, have courage.

Mark 10:49-50

“Call him.” So they called the blind man saying, “Get up, He is calling you.” He immediately threw aside his cloak, jumped up and went to Jesus.

---- Mine, remember this I call you my your name constantly if you listen you will hear My invitation I am inviting you to a deeper relationship with Me I want to flood your life with gifts and blessings I want to make you rich with the things of heaven but you are constantly caught up with the the amusements of the world, your senses are dull to the call of My Spirit; this is why you do not respond as the blind man did. On hearing that I had called him he immediately jumped up, threw aside all that would impede and slow him down and came to Me. Simplicity of heart and humility in spirit are virtues that I find most appealing. Ask the Holy Spirit and He will give you a new heart and a new spirit.
