LUKE 4:38-39 (2026)

LUKE 4:38-39

38 Leaving the synagogue, Jesus went to the house of Simon. 

His mother-in-law was suffering from high fever, 

and they asked him to do something for her. 

39 Bending over her, he rebuked the fever, 

and it left her. Immediately, she got up and waited on them.

---- my own,

Come to Me. Tell Me all that is troubling you, just as I was approached to do something for Peter's sick mother-in-law. Bring all your troubles, sorrows, disappointments, regrets, weaknesses, failures, including all that makes you joyful. Tell Me everything. I delight in being your confidante. I love having you share everything that happens to you throughout the day with Me. This is why I desire you to walk in My Presence, be aware that I AM watching over you and nothing happens to you without Me being aware of it, permitting it if it is for your good, or preventing it if it will cause you harm. I AM always bending over you just as I bent over her. I stoop low over you always lovingly, tenderly, with great compassion. God delights in you, — mine. Know this and take joy in this knowledge. I created you for joy and for intimacy with Me. Come to Me, rest in Me, confide in Me, and remain in Me, and I will remain in you. Be still and know that I AM God and that I will never leave you, never forsake you. I have declared before heaven and earth that you are Mine and not a hair of your head shall be harmed. Trust Me, and you will walk through life in perfect serenity. Rest in Me and let My Holy Spirit lead you, guide you, and you must be attentive to Him. Do all that He inspires you to do, and you will live in joy and peace despite every trial and difficult circumstance that you will experience until I call you home to Myself to remain with Me eternally.

PROVERBS 9:5-6 (2026)

PROVERBS 9:5-6

“Come, eat and drink of the bread and wine I have prepared. 

Give up your foolishness and you will live; 

take the straight path of discernment.”

---- my own,

Every morning for so the whole of your life, ever since you first received Me in the Holy Eucharist, I have invited you to come to the table and share the Banquet of Love that I prepare for you. You have responded to My invitation, and morning after morning you come to Me and partake of the Banquet of Love, which is My own Flesh under the appearance of mere bread and My own Blood in the appearance of wine. You eat and are filled with spiritual nourishment and strength for the journey that will take you from this life to the next. At every Holy Communion, I fill you with every grace and blessing that you need to help you as you sojourn in this valley of tears. You have troubles, you have sorrow, and you are anxious about many things. The health of your spouse, the troubles of your children, and these weigh your spirit down, and you lose awareness of My Presence in you and all My gifts and My promises to you. This is why your spirit is sad, and joy escapes you, and peace is far from you. How foolish you are, ---- mine, peace is My gift to you as it is to all who follow Me closely and are grafted onto Me. Peace I leave you, My own peace do I give you not as the world gives it, which is not peace at all, for it is like the morning mist in the sun that disappears at the first sign of testing. My peace is an abiding peace. It is a peace that remains unwavering and unshakeable, no matter what storms rise up to rob you of it. The waves may be high, the winds may scream and toss you about, but nothing will shake you or disturb you, for you know with conviction that nothing can shake that I AM in the eye of the storm with you, and My Peace, which is in you, enables you to sail serenely and joyfully through the stormiest seas. Contemplate often this truth: My peace is with you; it abides in you. Do not let anyone or anything rob you of this peace, which is My gift to you.
