WORD OF GOD

Baruch 4:5, 21, 27, 31

Take courage.

----- Mine,

Courage is My gift to you today and everyday. It takes courage to walk the way of righteousness and truth. It takes courage to say no to the things of the world, the flesh and the devil. It takes courage to be in the world but not of it. It take courage to choose good over evil, kindness over cruelty, gentleness over harshness when you are provoked. Have courage when things do not go your way, when you are disappointed, when people even those you love do not act as you expect them to. Courage. Love means allowing those closest to you, the freedom to be themselves no matter how much you may disagree with them. Have courage and you will find that nothing is as bad it at first seems and remember my own little one, that I am with you always, always. 

Be of good cheer I have overcome the world.

WORD OF GOD

John 17:15-17

I do not ask you to remove them from the world, 
but to keep them from the evil one.
They are not of the world, 
just as I am not of the world. 
Consecrate them in the truth. 
Your word is truth.

---- Mine,

In the world you will have to fight the Enemy constantly, stay on your guard for Satan prowls the world seeking to devour souls. Be alert. Stay watchful. Pray constantly and remain vigilant. Yes, I have prayed for you but you have to desire to remain on the side of Truth, the Truth that I revealed to you. I AM the Truth. Believe in Me and in My Word which binds you to Me and to My Father in the power of the Holy Spirit. You are saved, redeemed, sanctified, consecrated, no harm will come to you if you remain in Me and My Words remain in you.

You are saved but you cannot be lazy, you cannot flirt with temptation; open the door ever so slightly and you are making a way for ruin and death to enter and destroy you. Stay awake, be watchful in prayer and united to My Spirit and all you ask for will be given to you.

WORD OF GOD

Matthew 23:11-12

Let the greatest among you be the servant of all.
For whoever makes himself great shall be humbled, 
and whoever humbles himself shall be made great.

---- Mine,

Listen carefully to all I have to say to you today about humility. Open your ears and pay attention to the sound of My voice. Pride is the downfall of most, for where there is pride there is an inability to truly love another and when one does not love, one will not serve. The whole essence of discipleship is to know who you are, a sinner, and to realise that without Me you can do nothing. I came into the world at the behest of My Father in order to teach you the way to the Father's heart. Only through humility can you truly see yourself for who you are and how privileged you are to know the Father whom I came to reveal. Only through Me can you enter the Kingdom of God. If you wish to be like Me, imitate Me, the only way to do so is in humility; total self-abnegation in serving all whom you are called to serve daily, beginning with those closest to you.

Jesus meek and humble of heart, make my heart like unto Thine. Amen.

WORD OF GOD

Jeremiah 19:7

Yahweh, you have seduced me
and I have let myself be seduced.
You have taken me by force and prevailed.


---- Mine,

I have declared you to be My Own. Do not fret, do not worry, be anxious for nothing. But in all things give thanks to Me for I, the Lord am your God.

WORD OF GOD

Psalm 89:34-36

I will not withdraw my love from him, 
nor will I withdraw my faithfulness. 
I will be true to my promises and not break

my Covenant. 
Did I not swear by my holiness? 


---- Mine,

How often I have assured you that My love for you is an everlasting love and that you are Mine - believer Me when I tell you that I will never abandon you, I will never forsake you; when you call I will answer, when you fall I will pick you up, should you stumble I will steady you. My arm will strengthen you, lead you, guide you, protect you, and will be around you. You are Mine, let this unshakable truth increase your faith, hope, and confidence in Me and in My Word. My love surrounds you, My love animates you, My love gives you life and fills you with joy. It is I who sustain you from moment to moment and in the end it is I who will call you to the place where I am there to behold Me, live with Me and have a share in my glory forever. Do not afraid little one, it pleases Me to share My inheritance with you.

WORD OF GOD

Isaiah 11:4-9

But with justice he will judge the poor and with righteousness decide for the meek. Like a rod, his word will strike the oppressor, and the breath of his lips slay the wicked. 
Justice will be the girdle of his waist, truth the girdle of his loins.
The wolf will dwell with the lamb, the leopard will rest beside the kid, the calf and the lion cub will feed together and a little child will lead them. 
Befriending each other, the cow and the bear will see their young ones lie down together. Like cattle, the lion will eat hay. 
By the cobra’s den the infant will play. The child will put his hand into the viper’s lair. 
No one will harm or destroy over my holy mountain, for as water fills the sea the earth will be filled with the knowledge of Yahweh.

---- Mine, 

In a world that is spinning like a dervish out of control with wickedness, remember My promises for they are eternal. No matter how depressing and hopeless the world may look in your eyes God's purposes and plans can never be thwarted. The Redeemer lives, the Savior has paid the ransom with His life and God's people have been set free. 

God has not failed His people, people have failed their God by not fulfilling their promises. They have sworn solemn oaths without any intention of fulfilling them. But take heart from the word of the prophet today. Satan is defeated. Sin now has a remedy it can be washed away by the Blood and Water that flows from My side in the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Peace is the gift I brought to the world and that peace will prevail in the end. The victory is won. God has triumphed.

WORD OF GOD

Song of Songs 8:6-7

Set me as a seal on your heart, 
set me as a seal on your arm. 
For love is strong as death; 
its jealousy lasting as the power of death, 
it burns like a blazing fire, 
it blazes like a mighty flame. 

No flood can extinguish love 
nor river submerge it. 
If a man were to buy love 
with all the wealth of his house, 
contempt is all he would purchase.

----, ----, ----, My Own

The God of Love desires that all is children taste the goodness and sweetness of His love so you may know it and desire to love as He does. The nature of love is the essence of God; when you love as the Father does you are like Him. All who live in love live in God and God make His dwelling in the heart of the one who loves as He does.

How has God loved? Lift up your eyes and look at the symbol of love - the Cross. Greater love has no man this this that he lay down is life for his friend. Love is a self-giving, it is a pouring out in sacrifice. It is a total donation; seeking, it seeks nothing for itself but the good, the happiness, the joy of the other. Love finds joy in the midst of the direst suffering. Look at the Cross, ---- Mine, and understand how well, how deeply, how faithfully, and eternally you are loved. I have set My seal of love on your soul and I have marked you forever as My Own in time and eternally.

WORD OF GOD

Esther 15:9, 11

What is it Esther? he said, "I am your brother.
Take heart.
Come, speak to me."

---- Mine, I am your Brother, your Beloved, your Friend. I am your Lord and your God and I have declared before all the angels and saints in heaven that you belong to Me. Are you not My Own little nothing? Have I not laid down My Life for you so you may live in Me and never die? Why are you cast down my own, why do you moan and groan as if you were alone and helpless? Do you not know yet how precious you are to Me? Yes, you are a sinner, yes, you are weak, yes, you fall and stumble several times a day but that does not in the least diminish My love for you. 

Understand this nothing you do can ever take away my love for you. My love is eternal. Believe in faith that anything you ask will be given you dare to ask for great things, impossible things, dare to ask and you will receive all that you need to walk in truth, in love, and in the Spirit. Be holy as I AM holy.

WORD OF GOD

Isaiah 7:4

Stay calm and fear not,
do not lose courage.


In all things ---- Mine, I work for the good of those who love Me, those whom My Father has called according to His loving kindness and mercy. Those whom He has called He has entrusted to Me I am the Good Shepherd; I know My Own and My Own know Me. Stay close to Me, listen to My voice, follow Me, and I will lead you to green pastures. I will feed you and I will nourish you, I will heal you and bind all your wounds. Do not be afraid for I count you among My own. Just as the Father has loved Me so do I love you. I have come into the world to seek and save the lost. Continue to pray for those you love and in the end, just as My Father desires, all will be saved and come to the knowledge of truth. I am the Way, the truth, and the Life, no one comes to the Father except through Me. Remain.in Me. Remain in My love.

WORD OF GOD

Psalm 31:21-23

In the shelter of your presence, you hide
them (me) from human wiles; you keep them (me) in your
dwelling, safe from the intrigues of wagging tongues. 
Blessed be Yahweh for his wonderful love!
He has strengthened my heart. 
I said in my fright: 
“I have been cut off from your sight!”
Yet, when I was crying, you heard; when I

called for mercy, you listened.

---- Mine,

Within My Sacred Heart is a place reserved for you. It is marked with your name and its entrance is open to you alone. It is where you can hide. Take refuge in Me, lie still in its sheltering comfort in peace and tranquility. I love you with an everlasting love never forget you are Mine. In the midst of sorrow, I am your joy. In the midst of mourning you will find laughter, in the midst of night you will walk in bright sunlight; for I the Lord your God will never leave you, never forsake you. I have claimed you for Myself and no one has the power to take away what I have declared to be Mine. 

Come to Me when you are weary and rest in Me. Lie still and allow Me to minister to you, to strengthen you, to revive your heart. Keep your gaze fixed on Me and I will lead you safely through all the storms of life to the place where you will spend eternity with Me.

WORD OF GOD

JOB 19:25-27

For I know that my Redeemer lives, and he, the last, will take his stand on earth. I will be there behind my skin, and in my flesh I shall see God. With my own eyes I shall see him — I and not another. How my heart yearns!


---- Mine,

I am the Aplha and the Omega the beginning and the end, I am first, last and forever. I the Lord am Your God, I am your Redeemer and your Savior. I am the One that every soul hungers and thirsts for whether they are aware of it or not. Even when they fill the empty spaces in their lives with everything else but Me, they are still empty for it I alone who can satisfy every need, every longing. 

Look to Me, ---- My Own and you will know with every fiber of your being that joy that true joy comes from being in a close relationship with Me. Without Me you can do nothing. But with Me, ---- Mine, you will be given the power to do all things  and nothing will be impossible because you believe in Me, the Son  of God, My Father. 

WORD OF GOD

Matthew 17:5-7

 A voice from the cloud said, “This is my Son, the Beloved, my Chosen One. Listen to him.” On hearing the voice, the disciples fell to the ground, full of fear. But Jesus came, touched them, and said, “Stand up, do not be afraid!” 


---- Mine,

There is no place for fear in love. Awe and fear are as different as night and day. One fears because of a dread of punishment but the fear that leads to awe is a result of knowing that the love of Your God who is all powerful and almighty, of love and mercy, of kindness and gentleness, in the face of your wickedness, indifference, sinfulness is unconditional. It is given to you unreservedly, without measure and regardless of whether you deserve our love or not.

My Father desires you to know Him through your experience of Me and I say to you this day ---- My Own, fear nothing for true love casts out all fear and doubt. 

WORD OF GOD

Luke 21:33, 36

Heaven and will pass away,
but my words will not pass away.

Watch at all times and pray, 
that you may be able to escape 
all that is bound to happen and 
to stand before the Son of Man.


---- Mine,

Every promise I make to you, all My assurances to be with you always are meant to strengthen your faith in Me and in My words. I, the Lord your God, have spoken. I am the Eternal Word of the Father, I am the God of all ages, in Me  alone is salvation for the whole world. When I speak  all that I desire and all that My Father desires is accomplished. Do not be afraid, fear paralyses, fear holds you back, there is no place for fear in the heart and lives of those that believe. 

As a watchman stands alert at his post, I urge you to be watchful in prayer, steadfast in hope and unwavering in faith and the peace that passes all understanding will be yours. I am God there is no other and I have laid down My life for you. Be not afraid. Do not fear ---- Mine, it pleases the Father to give you the Kingdom. You are Mine.

WORD OF GOD

Ruth 3:11

Have no fear,  daughter;
I will do for you all that you ask.


---- Mine,

Each day when you kneel before Me in prayer in the Adoration chapel and make known to Me all that you desire Me to help you with, have you not found that I have done just as you asked? Let this knowledge of my unfailing help increase your faith in Me. Great faith has the power to endure all things, faith moves mountains, it hopes when it would seem that all hope is gone. Faith loves  in all seasons because faith is convinced that Love always prevails. 

Every morning I give you grace sufficient to ensure that all that you are called to do is accomplished. Be still, --- Mine, be at peace, for I the Lord your God am with you, over you and within you always.

WORD OF GOD

Luke 22:40

Pray that you may not be put to the test.

Pray ---- Mine, pray constantly, for it is through prayer that you keep the lines of communication open between us. What is prayer? It is the fruit of a close and loving relationship between friends. Come to Me in prayer, tell Me everything, I want to know all that troubles you, the things that makes you happy, the things that please you. Tell me about your disappointments, when things did not go the way you planned. Tell me about your hurts, your joys, your successes. Speak to me constantly and even in our silences  we will be communicating still. In the comfortable silences between two who are really close is the sign of the deepest and truest friendship. Stay close to Me always. Let your gaze turn constantly to Me and you will find that My gaze on you never wavers. Pray and you will come through every test with the strong arm of the Lord protecting and preserving you from all evil. Call out to Me in times of trouble and I will hear you and answer you always.

WORD OF GOD

Psalm 46:11

Be still, know that I am God.
I am exalted among the nations,
exalted over the earth.

---- Mine,

I am God and I am with you all the days of your life. Be anxious about nothing for I the Lord your God will supply all your needs. I am rich in mercy and my love is from everlasting to everlasting. I am God who reigns over all the nations and over all the earth. Who can be against you when I have declared Myself for you. Be at peace. Let nothing trouble you, let nothing make you afraid  for I walk with you; My angels accompany you and the Holy Spirit abides in you. You are the daughter of the King. Lift up your head and walk with the confidence of a child of God.

WORD OF GOD

Sirach 32:18, 19 & 33:4

A person of judgment reflects before hand.
Never act without first reflecting, 
and you will have no regrets.
If you want people to listen to you, 
prepare what you have to say;
recall what you have learned 
before you give an answer.


---- Mine,

If you keep these words in mind and act on them then you will have no reason to blush or be embarrassed. Wisdom is not granted to the impetuous fool but to the one who waits on Me and My Spirit. Be prepared through prayer, study, reflection, discernment and you will not put your foot in your mouth, you will not speak brashly but your answers will be well considered, thoughtful, thought provoking and even though you may not win the 
argument, you will have given food for thought, you will sow the seed  that in time will bear fruit. Be patient. Do your part; leave the rest to Me.

WORD OF GOD

Mark 5:19

Go home to your people and tell them 
how much the Lord has done for you 
and how he has had mercy on you.

---- Mine,

Morning after morning you sit at my feet and we speak. You are aware of all that I have done for you, it is no secret to you how much I love you as do My Father and My Holy Spirit. We desire you to be happy and this is why we are always with you; listening to you, consoling you, ministering to you, answering you whenever you call, giving you all you ask for, comforting you, and always assuring you that you are never alone for you walk with Me. The Holy Spirit abides in you and the angels surround you. 

Today, I ask this of you, go to those who belong to you and while you are together share with them all that I have done for you. How My Spirit sustains you always and how kind and gracious I have been to you always. Do not be afraid to speak of Me; do so with gentleness, conviction, and simplicity. Tell them how much I the Lord your God care for you. With quiet simplicity and humility tell them about Me.

WORD OF GOD

Mark 10:36

"What do you want me to do for you?"


---- Mine,

What what do you want me to do for you that I have not done already? What grace, or blessing have I yet withheld from you? Answer Me? I have given you all, I have poured Myself out for you in loving self oblation. I continue to pour Myself out for you moment by moment, day in an day out, year after year, and I will continue to do so until time runs out for you and eternity will begin when you will be one with Me in spirit and in truth. 

Fear not ---- Mine, fear not little one, for you are My very own and I have declared before all the heavens that you belong to Me. Ask what you will My poor, little bride and it is yours. Ask and you will receive, seek and you will find knock and the door will be opened to you; for which Father, or Brother, Or Lover will hand over a stone when asked for bread, or a snake when asked for fish. You who are sinful know how to give good those to the ones you love how much more ---- My Own, will I give to you whom I love with an everlasting love? In return do as I ask always and your joy will be complete.

WORD OF GOD

Mark 1:31

Jesus went to her 
and taking her by the hand,
raised her up. The fever left her
and she began to wait on them.


---- Mine, as My Word has assured you before, I assure you again that I came into the world to take by the hand not angels but you. I am the One that seeks you out, that finds you, that reaches out to you taking you by the hand and healing you of all your infirmities. You have been touched by Me your Lord and Master. You are set free from all that weighed you down. Your past transgressions are no more they have been immersed in the ocean of my love and mercy. Now this alone remains, that you always remember that you have been ransomed at a cost you could never repay because I have loved with with an everlasting love. What is your response to my love? Get up and wait on those around you, look out for them, you approach them as I approached you. To love and to serve is the privilege of my those who are called by My Name.

WORD OF GOD

Matthew 19:26

"........for God all things are possible."


---- Mine,

Look at Me. Keep your gaze fixed on Me. Let your heart rest in Mine. I have warned you that in the world you will have trouble but I have also told you to be of good cheer because I have overcome the world. For this reason you must lift up your head and face the world calmly, with faith and confidence, certain that in all things I work for good for those who love Me. 

Those who keep My Word walk with the angels who have been commanded to guard and protect them to keep them from stumbling; to uphold them lest they hit their foot against a stone. No power will work against those whom I Myself have declared before My Father to be My Own. In time of distress look to Me and be radiant knowing that with God all things are possible, always.

WORD OF GOD

John 14:26

From now on the Helper, the Holy Spirit 
whom the Father will send in my name, 
will teach you all things and remind you 
of all that I have told you.

---- Mine, this is My promise to you, this is My assurance this day of the Father's Gift to you, the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Truth and Love, the Spirit of Holy Desire. Him will the Father send to you in My Name and He will make His home in you. Your body will be His temple. Take care how you treat this Divine Guest who is the Spirit of the Father and My Spirit as well. Be aware always of His Presence in you and do nothing to cause Him to grieve. 

It the Holy Spirit who will teach you, guide you, help you reflect and ponder on My Word and reveal the wisdom of God to you. He will do so with great joy but you must be docile, you must be silent and still, you must make time to wait on Him in humility and expectation and He will not fail you.

WORD OF GOD

Psalm 81:6C-8

Open wide your mouth and I will fill it,
I relieved your shoulder from burden;
I freed your hands.
You called in distress, and I saved you;
unseen, I answered you.


---- Mine, when have you had cause to doubt My Word? Can you recall a time when you called and I failed to answer you, did not come in haste to rescue you, did I not put My arms around you and console you, wipe your tears away and put a smile back on your face and joy in your heart? Even in the times of your greatest distress and sorrow when you cried out to Me I was there; stooping low over you I gathered you in my arms, I allowed my Spirit to encompass you and I filled you with great joy amidst your deepest, sorrow did I Not? 

You have no reason to fear that what I have done in the past I will fail do again, and again and again. I keep My promises. Do not be afraid, ---- Mine, I have you and I have control of everything in your life. You are Mine now and forever.

WORD OF GOD

JOB 11:18-29

You will be comforted, for there is hope;
you will be protected when you sleep.
You will lie down with no one to fear;

many will come to court your favor.

---- Mine,

Know that I am with you. Protected by Me and safely hidden within the refuge of My Sacred Heart you need fear nothing. With Me you are more than a conqueror. Trust Me. As long as you choose to walk in the light of My love you will walk with the confidence of one who has God for your Father, Me for your Friend, Brother, and Bridegroom, you have the Holy Spirit as your Companion and Helper. When you lie down and when you wake up, when you sit or when you stand, in all that you do remember always, that you ---- Mine, are a daughter of the King.

WORD OF GOD

Psalm 147:13-14

He strengthens the bars of your gates
and blesses your children within you.

He grants peace on your borders
and feeds you with the finest grain.


---- Mine,

Every morning before dawn you come to Me, you read My Word, you wait with expectant faith for Me to speak to you, to give you a word that will light your way through the day. I have always reassured you that you belong to Me and that I am with you and with those you love, those closest to you. Once again ---- My Own, I assure you that I, the Lord your God am with you always. I give you food for the journey each day. I strengthen you and I will always bless those you bring to Me in prayer. I assure you of My peace in the midst of trouble and of My Presence with you always. 

Be not afraid my little one, it pleases the Father to give you all that He has to give - His Son and His Spirit. Be blessed, you and all who belong to you, be blessed always.

WORD OF GOD

Matthew 6:8

"Your Father knows what you need, even before you ask him."


---- Mine,

Never for an instant do I desire you to forget who you are and why you matter to God who is, who was and ever shall be. You have been created by My Father, it pleased Him to save you by offering Me as an atoning sacrifice to redeem you, and it has been our desire that the way to heaven be made possible for you by the Holy Spirit whom we have sent as your Helper, your Guide, your Advocate, your Paraclete. Grace and mercy are poured out upon you as you receive the Sacraments. All you ask for in prayer is granted you simply because it delights us, the Triune God, to lavish you with all you need both spiritual and temporal for a full and joyous life. So do not worry, do not be anxious, and when you ask for anything in My Name believe that it has already been granted to you; for the Father knows the heart of His daughter  and desires that you be happy in this life as well as in the next.

WORD OF GOD

Mark 9:23

"Why do you say, 'If you can?' All things are possible for one who believes."


---- Mine, 

Real faith even if it be as small as a mustard seed has the power to move mountains. When you prayer, when you intercede, when you ask, do so believing that what you have asked for has already been granted and you will experience the power of the Most High work mightily in your favor. Have you not witnessed  this already in your life? Have I not answered all your prayers? In great and in little things it has pleased Me to grant you what your heart has longed for whenever you cried out to Me in prayer.  Never have I refused you anything especially spiritually favors because I desire that you live confidently knowing that whatever you ask for in prayer has already been granted to you; for the Father knows what you need even before you ask Him. 

Above all things know this, that the Father is pleased to give you and all you love a share in His Kingdom. Ask boldly, ask confidently, ask clearly for all that you  need for your salvation and for the salvation of those you love and it will be given to you. Know that I am with you always always for you belong to Me, You are Mine, remain in Me as I remain in you and you will have life in abundance.

WORD OF GOD

Matthew 8:2-3

Then a leper came forward. 
He knelt before him and said, 
“Sir, if you want to, you can make me clean.” 
Jesus stretched out his hand, touched him, and said, 
“I want to, be clean again.” 
At that very moment, 
the man was cleansed from his leprosy.  

---- Mine,

Come to Me all of you who are carrying heavy burdens and I will comfort you, I will give you rest. It has never been and it never shall be that anyone who came to me and asked for help, deliverance, comfort, healing has ever been sent way empty handed. Come to Me, and ask and I will give, seek Me and you will find Me, knock and I will open the door and answer; for it pleases the Father to give the Holy Spirit, to give the Kingdom, to give all that He has, to those who ask with sincere repentant, contrite hearts, and a humble spirit. 

No prayer, no plea, no pain, no sorrow, no disease, no sin, is so great that it is beyond My ability to touch, heal, restore and make whole and healthy again whether it be in the physical, mental or spiritual realm.

WORD OF GOD

Matthew 14:27

"Courage! Don't be afraid. It's me!"


---- My Own,

Courage! Remember, keep in mind always that it pleases the Father to give you the Kingdom. For this He created you, for this I redeemed you, for this the Holy Spirit lives in you to help you, sanctifying you so that in the end where I am you too may be. Believe that I am constantly with you fighting for you, protecting you, covering you with my most precious Blood, feeding you with my Body in the Eucharist. Nourishing you and leading you each day slowly but surely to the place that God has prepared for you from all eternity. 

You are Mine, purchased at too great a price for Me to ever lose you or abandon you. ---- Mine, you are Mine in time and in eternty.

WORD OF GOD

Wisdom 16:20-28

But to your people you gave the
food of angels and from heaven sent bread
already prepared and suiting all tastes,
having every flavor.  In this way you
revealed your loving kindness to your children.
Satisfying all needs, this bread provided
what each one wanted.

That food, having the appearance of
snow and ice, resisted fire and did not melt;
thus they understood how their enemy’s
harvest was destroyed by fire in the midst
of hail, while lightning flashed in the falling
rain. This same fire seemed to forget its
own nature in order to spare the food of
the righteous. 

Your creation is at your service for
you are its Author. It works to punish the
wicked and withdraws for the benefi t of
those who put their trust in you. 

In the service of your bounty which
attends to everything, creation made itself
manifold and adjusted to the wish of everyone.
Then the children you love learned
that it is not crops of whatever kind which
nourish humankind, but your word that
sustains those who trust you. 

That food which resisted fire, simply
melted in the warmth of a fleeting sunbeam, 
teaching us that we must rise
before the sun to give thanks and pray to
you at dawn. 



---- Mine, 

Frequent the Sacraments as often as you can. Love, adore, and worship Me in the Holy Eucharist until you are one with Me eternally at the heavenly Banquet with the angels and the saints.

WORD OF GOD

Matthew 25:21

Very well, good and faithful servant, 
since you have been faithful in few things,
I will entrust you with much more.
Come and share the joy of your master.


---- Mine,

This is what I desire to say to you at the end of your journey in time and place. I want to be able to say that you have been faithful in all things, that your labor will be rewarded, that all you have done has yielded much fruit. I want to be able to give you a great reward and perfect rest; this is why as long as you are in the world you have to constantly strive to discern My will, discern the purpose why you are alive, why another day, another week, another year is granted to you, and what you have done with all the opportunities to do good, to choose good, to will good, has been given to you. Be faithful in all things. Work tirelessly, do not squander the gifts that are given to you with idleness, apathy, indifference rather, know this; you know neither the day nor the hour when I will demand a strict account of your stewardship. Be alert, be watchful, be diligent, watch for My coming, long for it, yearn for it, pray for it and then it will be time of joyful expectation for you.

WORD OF GOD

Psalm 116:7

Return, O my soul, to your rest,
for the Lord has taken care of you.


---- Mine,

Even before you say, "My foot is slipping." I am with you. I hold you by the hand, I will keep you from stumbling. I will walk with you and I will ensure that your feet are on level ground. Do not be afraid for I am with you always. Take heart. Be filled with courage and know that I am with you always until the end of time. You are Mine in time and in eternity. Be still and know that I the Lord your God will never leave you or abandon you. I have sealed you in My Blood. You are marked for heaven. 

WORD OF GOD

Mark 10:33-34

You see we are going up to Jerusalem,
and the Son of Man will be given over to the chief priests and the teachers of the Law. 
They will condemn him to death and hand him over 
to the foreigners who will make fun of him,
spit on him, scourge him and finally kill him; 
but three days later he will rise.


--- My Own,

Long before these events took place I knew exactly what awaited Me in Jerusalem. This is the reason I was born, this is why I came into the world. I was aware that I would be rejected. I was born of this people, this race, and they refused to accept the One that was promised to them through the prophets. I was the fulfillment of the Covenant of the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob and yet when I revealed the truth of who I was; those in positions of power, those with vested interests who saw Me as a threat were determined to get rid of Me. I told them plainly who I was, I told them in parables, I manifested My power, the power of God in the many signs and wonders I worked; signs that made it clear that these would not be possible unless I was God. But the more it was apparent that I was who I said I was, the more they hated Me, they plotted to kill Me. I always knew what was in the minds and hearts of My enemies and in the end all that I prophesied would be done to Me came to pass exactly as I said it would.

Do not be afraid My little flock. What was done to Me will be done to you as well but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world. Three days later I rose again; you too will rise and share in the glory of My Resurrection. I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life no one can come to the Father except through Me.

WORD OF GOD

Psalm 8:5-7

What is the mortal that you be mindful of him
the son of man, that you should care for him?
Yet you made him a little lower than the angels
you have crowned him with glory and honor.
You made him rule over the works of your hands
you have put all things under his feet.

---- Mine,

Never doubt for a moment the dignity that is yours because you are Mine. It is I who entered into the world and became like you in all things save sin, so you may become like Me. The world and all in it was created for you, for your delight, in order to move you to praise God who loves you so tenderly. God did not withhold anything from you even giving you a Savior to redeem you from the clutches of the Enemy. The angels envy you because I have made it possible for you to become intimately united with Me in the Holy Eucharist - this union is denied them. This is how the Father loves you that He has stopped at nothing to show you the extent of His inexhaustible love. All that God asks is that you in turn love Me above all, with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength,and to love your neighbor as you love yourself.

WORD OF GOD

Luke 7:22-23

“Go and tell John what you have seen and heard:

 the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, 

the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, 

the dead are raised,

the poor have good news brought to them. 

And blessed is anyone who takes no offense at me.”

---- Mine,

This is the Good News that all who are grafted into My Body are called to proclaim. It is unchanging. The mission that was entrusted to My Apostles, My Disciples, My followers, continues to be this and will be so until I come again. This is why My Father sent Me into the world. To bring healing, consolation, hope, peace, but above all to reveal this eternal truth, that God is love. God so loved the world that He sent Me into it to become the means by which all human beings are saved. 

You have been created by God for a purpose. To you is entrusted a work that only you can do. Pray everyday for the grace to accomplish all that has been given to you to do, and at the end I will come to take You where I am to be with Me always. For where I am there will My people be.

WORD OF GOD

MATTHEW 28:20

I am with you always, until the end of the world.


---- Mine,
Take heart, be of good cheer. Do not grow despondent; there will always be something to trouble you, make you sad, wound you. As long as you are in the wold and in the flesh; there will be times when you will find it hard to be of good cheer. Yet it is the hallmark of my disciples to overcome. Do not let your sorrow, your disappointment, even your anger lead you to sin, to wallow in resentment, to feel sorry for yourself. There is no merit in that neither is there any consolation. Accept the fact that this will happen over and over again, the important thing is to remember that I love you as the apple of my eye, you belong to Me. Let your joy come from Me, from knowing Me, loving Me, trusting Me and  My Word that assures you always and everywhere that because I walk with you, you walk with the angels.

WORD OF GOD

Matthew 24:35

Heaven and earth will pass away,
but my words will not pass away.

---- Mine,

I am the Living Word that came down from heaven to make known the love of God for His people. I came into the world to reveal the Truth about God. What is truth? It is this, that God is love and whoever lives in God lives in love. Live in love and you live in God and God lives in you. There is no greater truth than this. All things are made possible when you love. All sacrifice is possible when you love. The love of God was made manifest in Me through the power of the Holy Spirit. All that I came to reveal to the world is this, that God is love and while heaven and earth shall pass away the love of God will not pass away, the Love that was made manifest in His Word.

WORD OF GOD

Mark 4:24-25

“Pay attention to what you hear.
In the measure you give, so shall you receive,
and still more will be given to you.
For to the one who produces
something, more will be given;
and from him who does not produce anything,
even what he has
will be taken away from him.”
---- My Own,
I have said this often and I have said it in different ways but it all means the same thing. I give everyone talents in different measure; to the one who strives diligently to use these gifts for the purpose for which they were given will be given more for they have proven to be worthy. Every good and perfect gift has been given to you through Me by My Father in heaven. He desires that His children collaborate with Him, with Me, and with the Holy Spirit to establish His Kingdom on earth, in the hearts of all who believe, so the divine purpose in creating the world and all in it will be realized. 

However, to the one who is lazy, unwilling to realize the purpose for which they were created, or uses the gifts and talents given selfishly, such a person will be stripped of everything. You have been given everything - nothing has been held back from God's children, give as you have received freely, selflessly, and without counting the cost and you will receive in double measure. God loves a generous and cheerful giver.

WORD OF GOD

Matthew 5:13A, 14A, 16

You are the salt of the earth.
You are the light of the world.
Your light must shine before others,
so that they may see the good you do
and praise your Father in heaven.

---- Mine,

There is no such thing as a witness who is silent in the face of wrong. Discipleship is not a popularity contest it is the opposite. To truly be My disciple you must always and everywhere stand up for the truth no matter to whom you are called to stand up to. How can you be either salt or light when you refuse to point out when someone is uncharitable when speaking of another? Ask for wisdom and it will be given to you. Ask for the words to speak gently, kindly, but firmly. If the one who speaks rashly is not corrected then error will continue to be sown and you will have failed in your mission. There is no such thing as compromise when it comes to the sin. Holiness and perfection is what every one who is a member of My Body must strive after. There must be no fear of offending another when it comes to speaking the truth in love.

WORD OF GOD

Luke 5:2

“Put out into deep water 
and lower your nets for a catch.” 


---- Mine,

Pay attention to all that I say to you today. Leave the safety of the shore, trust Me, and go into deep water and there you will find a good catch. There are many in the world who are far away from where you live in comfort and ignorance of the world that has wandered far from Me. I came for the lost sheep, I came to minister to the sick, the outcast, the abandoned of the world.  Remember whatever you do for the least of My little ones I consider done to Me. Go out into unfamiliar territory, leave the comfort of the safe, the familiar, the known, and go onward, further and farther than you've ever gone before and know that I am with you every step of the way. 

WORD OF GOD

Isaiah 40:11

Like a shepherd he tends his flock: 

he gathers the lambs in his arms, 

he carries them in his bosom, 

gently leading those that are with young.

---- Mine,

I am the Good Shepherd, I know My sheep and they know Me. They recognize the sound of My voice no matter how loud the the din around them. They look to Me in times of distress confident that I will tend to them. When they are afraid they run to me for they know that I will protect them. I will always keep them safe from the terrors of the night and from the enemy that pursues them. I feed them, I quench their thirst, when they are weak I carry them. Those that need special care I lead gently. I do not place unnecessary burdens on those I love. I am the Good Shepherd I lay down My life for My own. My sheep know Me and follow Me, they belong to Me and I shall not lose even one of those that are Mine.
