SIRACH 24:19-22 (2025)

SIRACH 24:19-22

Come to me, you who desire me 
and take your fill of my fruits. 
To experience me is sweeter than honey 
and to possess me sweeter than any honeycomb. 
Those who eat me will hunger still; 
those who drink me will thirst for more. 
Those who obey me will not be put to shame; 
those who serve me will not fall into sin.


---- mine,

My hands are always stretched out to you. Come to Me, take hold of My hand, cling to Me. Listen to My Word, let it become your food and drink. The more you hunger and thirst after Me, the more I will fill you. Let My Word become your delight. Let it fill your soul, your mind, your heart, and your spirit. Let My Word imbue you, and you will be filled with My Life and My Light. The Holy Spirit is given to all who ask for I delight in providing all that is good to those who desire to walk in the way of Truth. The Holy Spirit is My gift to all who desire to grow in My image and likeness. He will help you to choose what is pleasing to Me, and He will provide the strength to do it. Remember that My Word, like My Flesh, is real food and My Blood, like My Spirit, is real drink for He is the Source of Living Water that flows from My open and pierced side to the whole world. Ask for what you need, ask for My Holy Spirit, for He alone can help you to become holy and perfect as My Father is holy and perfect. His life will be your life, and you will know abiding peace and joy even as you walk in this valley of tears as you make your pilgrim journey from this life to the life to come. Come to Me and I will give you rest. I will yoke you to Me, and I will lighten your burden, and you will find rest for your soul.

ISAIAH 62:4-5 (2025)

ISAIAH 62:4-5

You shall no more be termed Forsaken,
and your land shall no more be termed Desolate;
but you shall be called My delight is in her,
and your land Married;
for the Lord delights in you,
and your land shall be married.


---- mine,

Once again, I confirm that you belong to Me in time and in eternity. My hand of protection is always over you. I have walled you in My Sacred Heart. You have I called by name, I have inscribed it on the palms of My hands. I have poured out My life for you because I love you. I have laid down My life for you so you could live forever. Keep your gaze fixed on Me. Do not allow the distractions of the world to take your gaze away from Me; if you do, you will surely slip, stumble, and fall.  just as Peter began to sink when he removed his gaze from Me. No storm can prevail over you. Even when you are tempted to believe that I AM asleep in the boat of your life, that is a lie from the evil one. I neither slumber nor sleep. I have declared you to be Mine, and only you can choose to remain in Me or live apart from Me. With Me, you will have life in its abundance. Apart from Me, you will shrivel, wither, and die, for you will be cut off from the source of all life - the Holy Spirit. You are espoused to Me, and living water flows in you and from you to all who approach you. I delight in you just as you delight in Me. Keep My Word. Live in My Word. Feed on My Word, and you will receive strength for the perilous journey from this life to eternity.
