You will be comforted, for there is hope;

you will be protected when you sleep

You need not fear for you walk in My Shadow under the mighty protection of the Lord God Most High. I have given angels command over you.

Wisdom 3:9

Those who trust in him will penetrate the truth, those who are faithful will live with him in love, for his grace and mercy are for his chosen ones.


---- Mine, trust Me! No matter how difficult it may seem to believe that the outcome will be exactly as you desire it to be trust Me! Sometimes it is difficult when everything that is happening tells you how ridiculous it is to to place your confidence in God, yet it is in precisely during those times of testing, that you must look at your past experiences of God's dealings with you and this will strengthen your faith and hope, that in the end all will be well. The lives of holy men and women since the dawn of creation have discovered that nothing so delights Me than when despite the storm raging all around them, they still had an unshakable faith, hope and trust that God, that I, was in control and that no harm will come to those who are Mine; and you ----, are Mine.

Ezekiel 16:8-14

I made a covenant with you with an oath – word of Yahweh – and you were mine. Then I bathed you in water, I cleansed you of your blood and anointed you with oil.  I clothed you with embroidered cloth and put soft leather sandals on your feet. I dressed you in fine linen and covered you with silk.  I adorned you with jewelry, putting bracelets on your arms, a necklace around your neck  and a ring in your nose. I gave you earrings and a magnificent crown for your head. You were adorned with gold and silver; your clothing was fine linen, silk and embroidered cloth. You were fed on finest flour, honey and oil; you became very beautiful and rose to be queen. Your beauty was perfect and your renown spread through the nations, because of the splendor I had given you – word of Yahweh.

---- Mine, read what I say to you carefully, ponder on the words, and understand what the Lord your God, the Bridegroom of your soul, has done for you; how I sought you and having found you wallowing in the muck of sin, I did not turn away from you or condemn you. Even though you were reluctant to reach out to Me and take my outstretched hand, yet, I wooed you gently. I picked you up and I washed you from all the filth that clung to you until you were clean, I bathed you with oil and I anointed you, I robed you through the Sacrament of Reconciliation with virtue and grace and I taught you to walk once more in the light of Truth. My love strengthened you and I fed you on My Body and I quenched your thirst with My Blood. I made you a new creation and I set you among those who are Mine, who belong to Me. I gave you a place of honor. Do not forget the Covenant I have made with you, it is an everlasting Covenant by which I have bound you to Myself in time and in eternity. Remember to whom you belong, remember always how greatly you are loved and never forget that You are Mine and how much I love you.

GOD'S WORD TODAY

Isaiah 33:2

O Yahweh, have mercy on us who put all our hope in you.
Be our strength every morning, our salvation when trouble comes.

---- Mine be faithful. Give to Me all that is Mine, give me the first fruits of your day, your time. Give Me the best of yourself. Reserve for Me rights over you that no one else can possess. Hand over the reins of your life to Me, grant Me total access over you. Be My possession completely holding no part of yourself in reserve. Give and it will be given to you full measure, shaken together and running over for the measure in which you give, you will receive. Give to Me all and I will give in return more than you can ask for or even imagine. I am the Lord your God, is anything too difficult for Me?

GOD'S WORD TODAY

Song of Songs 1:1-4

Shower me with kisses of your mouth:

your love is more delicious than wine.

Your oil smells sweeter than any perfume,

your name spreads out like balm;

no wonder the maidens long for you.

Lure me to you, let us fly!

Bring me, O king, into your room,

and be our joy, our excitement.

We will praise your caresses more than wine,

how rightly are you loved.

---- Mine, true love is an all consuming fire; its flame is eternal and nothing not even death can put it out. Love triumphs over all, nothing can quench the fires of love. Don't waste your time on flights of fancy, on the tawdry imitation the world calls love, the emotions that are as fleeting as mist in the heat of the sun. Love is so much more than the love between human persons. Love must first be offered to the Transcendent God whose nature is love and whose will is directed by love. Nothing in all the world can compare with My love for you and when you love Me as you ought you will find meaning and purpose for your life and you find your love and your passion returned more gloriously than anything your human mind can conceive of, or hope and long for.

GOD'S WORD TODAY

Matthew 15:28

Woman, how great is your faith! Let it be as you wish."

---- Mine,when you believe that I will do, that I have the power to do, just as you ask , I am glorified. All that you read in the Bible is a revelation of how much you are loved and there are no lengths too great that God, I  will not go to, to grant you your heart's desires because you believe.

GOD'S WORD TODAY

Luke 7:21

Not everyone who says to me: Lord! Lord! will enter the kingdom of heaven, 
but the one who does the will of my heavenly Father.

---- Mine, remember it is not in the things that one says so much as the things that one does that determine who a person is. One can say many things but if what is said is not backed by good actions the words are meaningless. True, people often get carried away when people speak and they attribute all kinds of qualities to them, yet they could be quite wrong. This is why I judge the heart for I know the motives of all and I judge accordingly. So remember it is not the number of prayers that one says but rather the willingness to be led by the Spirit of Truth that will determine your final destination.

GOD'S WORD TODAY

Sirach 40: 26b-27

You cannot suffer loss when you fear the Lord, 
with it you have all the support you need.

The fear of the Lord is like a garden of blessings; 
it clothes a person better than any glory.

---- Mine, you can never disappoint Me. I love you and because you know how much I love you strive always to allow this knowledge to be the impetus that drives all your thoughts, words, and deeds. Steer clear of anything that would be unworthy of one who belongs to Me as completely as you do. The love of the Lord God almighty is for you a canopy under whose shade you find refuge, rest, and every imaginable  and unimaginable blessing, favor and joy. For the Lord you God has claimed you for Himself in time and in eternity. Rest in Me. Abide in Me, Make your home in Me.

Proverbs 31:20, 25-26, 30

She reaches out her hand to the helpless and gives to the poor.

She is strong and dignified and looks with confidence to the future.

She speaks wisely and her words are kind.

Charm is deceptive and beauty useless; 

the woman who is wise is the one to praise.

---- Mine, the ideal Woman, the Woman par excellence, is found in My Mother and yours for I gave her to My beloved disciples and so you are. My Mama's gaze was always on her Lord, she was truly the hand maid of the Most High. She kept her focus on Him and in all things, even when she did not understand, she silently  pondered about the things that occurred as God's work was slowly being unfolded before her eyes. The things she did not understand she accepted as being the will of God and that was all the answer she needed as in time she saw how everything fell into place and that God, her God was always in perfect control. Her gaze was never on herself, not for a moment, but she was absorbed in the things of God, the things of her Son, she ministered to Me with singular devotion. She was constantly aware of the prophecy of Simeon, for she perceived the sword in spirit and it was never far from her heart. When the soldier plunged the spear into my side, that sword plunged into her heart and from it flowed the graces resulting from her her unswerving, irrevocable yes to the will of God . Her whole life was a fiat to Him and to Me.  

My Mother, imitate her in all things ----Mine, and you will never put a foot astray ever again.

John 7:37-38

“Let anyone who is thirsty, come to me; 

and let the one who believes in me drink, 

for the Scripture says: 

Out of the believer’s heart shall flow rivers of living water.”

---- My own, you are Mine. In time and eternity you are unequivocally Mine. I have claimed you for Myself. Claim the promise I make to you this day, I will quench your thirst, I will satisfy all the longings of your heart. Come to Me drink from Me and because you believe I will ask My Father and My Spirit to use you insignificant as you are, to use you though you are nothing, to strike your soul and the Holy Spirit who is the life giving water that teems with an abundance of life and fruitfulness will overflow in unending streams through you.  Allow yourself to be the little channel through which the Spirit of Life and grace flows. ---- believe!

Psalm 121:


The Lord is your guardian, the Lord is at your 

side and you in his shade;
Sunstroke will not be for you by day,
nor the spell of the moon by night.
The Lord guards you from every evil;
he will protect your life.
The Lord watches over your coming and going
both now and forever.

---- My Own, listen, quiet your soul, still your heart, become aware of My Breath in you. I am the Lord your God, this day once again I desire to make known to you, to assure you, that I am your Guardian, your Protector, Your Guide. Walk in the shadow of the Living God who is spread over you as a canopy over your Bridegroom and over you. Your God who never sleeps is beside you. He guards you from the snares that are set out to trap you now and always for He too with the Father and I will watch over you who are truly precious in our sight.

GOD'S WORD TODAY

2 Kings 2:9

What shall I do for you before I am taken away from you? Ask me!

Grant that I may have the best of your spirit.

---- Mine, today I give you in full measure My Spirit. I have asked you this before and today I ask you once again, "What do you ask of Me? Ask anything and it shall be given to you even to the half of My Kingdom. You ask for true conversion for every member of your family beginning with those closest and nearest to you. You ask for conversion of your family members so they may turn to Me and be saved. You ask that all those you love and pray for each day may seek to know my will and delight in obeying it all the days of their lives. You ask for yourself to be more prayerful, less distracted by the noise of the world and more in tune with My Spirit in you. What else? This is the day I desire to grant you all you ask for. Ask and I will give you in full measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over for nothing delights Me more than to give you all you ask for. You ask that I give you the virtue of true humility. Believe that all you have asked for has been given to you and say a prayer of thanksgiving.

GOD'S WORD TODAY

Romans 8:16-17

The Spirit assures our spirit that we are sons and daughters of God. If we are children we are heirs too.

---- Mine, you are claimed by My Spirit as My inheritance and if you belong to Me then all I have is yours as well. Through the Spirit you are declared a child of the Father, My Father, the One I taught you to call Abba, Dad. It is He who ordained that you should be born, It is He who planned your life, it is He who desires that you be One in Me with Him and the Holy Spirit. To you has been given the authority and power that I exercised while on earth for He gives freely to all who ask. Claim the authority and the power given to you by My Father in heaven and use it to establish His Kingdom on earth.

GOD'S WORD TODAY

Numbers 21:8

Make a fiery serpent and set it on a standard; whoever has been bitten and then looks at it shall live.

---- Mine, Satan, who is evil incarnate, took the form of a serpent and entered the Garden of Eden to exact vengeance on God by separating Him from His best loved creation, man and woman. Satan again enters the desert attacking God's chosen people by tempting them to turn against Him who led them from slavery into freedom causing them to die. When Moses pleaded with Him God gave him the remedy, the antidote that would destroy the consequences of sin, death, and would heal, and restore to life anew. Here is a foreshadowing of the Cross and an indication of how God would once and for all save and restore all men and women from every age, tribe, race, nation, and language. 

Taking upon Myself all the sin, the iniquity, and the punishment that was the consequence of sin I became sin. Impaled on the standard of the Cross and raised above the earth, all who have sinned need only raise their eyes to Me in sorrow, contrition, and repentance in order to be saved. I came not to condemn the sinner but to reconcile all sinners to My Father through the instrument that until then, was a symbol of shame and defeat changing it forever into a symbol of My triumph and victory of Satan, sin and death. 

GOD'S WORD TODAY

Romans 8:15-17


.....................every time we cry, "Abba! the Spirit assures our spirit that we are sons and daughters of God. If we are children we are heirs too.

---- Mine, it pleases the Father to acknowledge you as His daughter and to give you a share in His Kingdom. He is your Abbba, approach Him in My Name and all that you ask of Him in My Name He will delight in giving you.

GOD'S WORD TODAY

 Mark 9:7

A cloud formed covering them in shadow,
and from the cloud came this word,
"This is my Son, the Beloved;
listen to him."

---- Mine, no one can look at the Face of God and live this is why I hide Myself in the little Host because I desire union with you. In the intimacy of My Presence made one with you in Holy Communion, I am at liberty to lavish you and ravish you with my love, infinite graces, and a superabundance of blessings both spiritual and temporal. This is why I say to you,  ask and you will receive, seek and You will find, knock and the door will be opened to you.

Listen to Me attentively withdraw into the sanctuary of your soul where I make my dwelling place and I will speak to you. Pay attention, hear and obey, for nothing gives My Father greater joy than when His children listen to Me and obey Me. For your part always remember that greater love has no man than this, that he lay down his life for his friend. I lay down My life for you so you may live in time and in eternity with Me.

GOD'S WORD TODAY

Psalm 46:11

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

---- Mine, do you recall My words when I calmed the storm? I said to the winds and the waves, "Hush, be still!" What happened? Immediately the storm died down, the wind quietened, and the sea was calm. This demonstration of My power over the elements serves as a vivid example of what also happens in the times of mental anxiety, fear and turmoil. I only say, "Be still!" 

Only when you quiet your spirit, your senses, you will hear My voice reminding you that even in the midst of trouble I AM GOD. I am the God of heaven, earth, of all nations, principalities both spiritual and temporal for God has exalted Me and given me all authority, dominion, and power; all you are required to do to experience it, is to BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD!

GOD'S WORD TODAY

Matthew 27:41

Stay awake and pray, so that you may not slip into temptation. The spirit indeed is eager but human nature is weak.

---- Mine, these words I spoke to three of my closest disciples is true even to this day of so many including you. While you desire to be faithful to Me always you are still unable to overcome the flesh. You make excuses, you postpone, you fail to act when you ought, this is why you do not grow in virtue. Stay awake and pray. Be alert. Satan does not sleep but prowls night and day waiting to catch you off guard and then he moves in and strikes. Constant failure in little things will set you up for the big fall. Watch and pray always and ask for the grace you need. Rely always not on your own strength but on Mine. 

GOD'S WORD TODAY

Sirach 39:33-35

All the works of the Lord are good 

and he will satisfy every need in due time.

You must not say: This is less good than that, 

for in its time everything will serve a purpose.

So now, with all your heart and in full voice, 

sing and bless the Name of the Lord.

--- Mine, all that the Lord your God has created is good. All that occurs in every human life is permitted by God for a purpose. Through suffering alone, accepted as coming from the hand of God, can you be purified, can you learn to overcome temptation, subdue the desires of the flesh, and to heed the voice of the Helper, the Holy Spirit. He is granted to you precisely for this purpose. No one can be saved by their own strength; all must rely on the power of God, the wisdom of God, and above all the love of God who sustains all that lives moves and breathes. It is easy to complain, moan, and groan about the evil in the world and its consequences which is sin and suffering. However, if you will learn to praise Me in all circumstances and give glory to the Father; accepting that all suffering can be redemptive when united to the Cross, seasons of grace are granted to you and to the people you love and pray for.

GOD'S WORD TODAY

Ezekiel 36:26-28

I shall give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you. 

I shall remove your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. 

I shall put my spirit within you 

and move you to follow my decrees and keep my laws. 

You  shall be my people and I will be your God.

---- Mine, yes, I know your weaknesses; you lack self discipline, you lack self control, you lack a true spirit of humility. Sometimes you are judgmental and critical of others. You sometimes have a tendency  to make broad judgments lacking charity, compassion, or mercy. Yet, I am also aware that you do love Me and you desire to be all I ask you to be. Today I want you to listen carefully to what I have to say to you, do not be discouraged. The road to heaven consists of baby steps and there will be set backs along the way; but always keep in mind that I am with you always, My Spirit is given to you and He dwells in you, I have called you by your name and I have declared you to be Mine, My own foolish, little nothing. So take heart and walk with the confidence of one who belongs to God.

GOD'S WORD TODAY

Proverbs 30:4-5

Who has ascended the heavens and descended? 

Who has gathered the wind in his hands? 

Who has encircled the waters with his cloak? 

Who has established the limits of the earth? 

What is his name or the name of his son?

Do you know?  

Every word of God is true, 

he is a shield in whom man can find refuge. 

---- Mine, know this in the deepest part of your soul where I make My home, that I am the living God who is, who was, and is to come, there is no other. At My Word, through the power of the Holy Spirit, according to the will of the Father, all is made possible. The world and all that lives, moves and breathes, all that is visible and invisible, all that God ordains is ruled by the will of the Father; should God take His breath away, the breath of His Spirit,  the Word would no longer uphold the world for without Gods will, without the Spirits breath the Ruah of God, and without the power of the Word of God, all would cease to be, all would return to nothing, to void, to darkness. You are because God desires you to be in time and in eternity.

GOD'S WORD TODAY

Jeremiah 32:26

I am Yahweh, the God of all humankind. Is there anything impossible for me?

---- Mine, do you know of any instance when I have set out to do something and it was not accomplished? I am God and I can do all things I am your God and today I desire you to know without the shadow of any doubt that nothing, I repeat nothing is impossible for Me. Through the power of My Spirit who has been given to all who are baptized into My Body, all have been given the power to come to the knowledge of Truth. Were it not so, I would not have said, I am the Way the Truth and the Life, anyone who comes to me will be saved. At this present moment in time, what would you consider impossible little one, it will be accomplished, for I have the power to call from the grave of sin and command life and and grace be granted even to the soul that has turned away from Me. Believe and you will continue to be amazed at all that the power of My love accomplishes.

GOD'S WORD TODAY

Matthew 22:37-39

“You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and the most important of the commandments. But after this there is another one very similar to it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.

---- Mine, love Me, love the Father, love the Holy Spirit above, before, and beyond everyone and everything else for the love of God for you is broader, higher, deeper and wider than any love you have ever experienced, can hope to experience, or imagine. For the love of God is beyond human comprehension. Our nature is love and we cannot go contrary to our nature. We love and our love is not given because you are worthy; no human is worthy of our love, but because you were conceived in love, created in love, exist in love, and have an eternal destiny, and because you are loved you are commanded to return love for love. You can never hope to match the love of God for you nevertheless you are called to strive to love us daily more and more. You are called to train yourself moment by moment to allow love to prompt your every thought, word and action. And the second command is no less important than the first; love your neighbor as you love yourself. Treat your neighbor as you would like to be treated with kindness, courtesy, understanding, and compassion. Bear in mind always that love alone conquers all.

GOD'S WORD TODAY

Psalm 46:11

Be still, and know that I am God. 

---- Mine, when the world gets too much for you take a time out, relax, become aware of My Presence in you, breathe deeply  and deliberately and consciously let go of all that is troubling you. Take a moment to just be quiet, silent, and allow My power to overcome and take control. Remember always that you have Me, God, who is doing battle on your behalf; the victory always belongs to Me and you will share in My triumph as you put to death all in you that is not of My kingdom.

GOD'S WORD TODAY

Matthew 13:16

Blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears, because they hear.

---- Mine, I call you blessed because you  hear and you believe. You have the eyes of faith through which you behold things that are unseen.You hear eternal truths and you believe. This is life that you believe not only in Me but in the One who sent Me. Be attentive to the sound of My voice always and watch out for the things that I do each day to help you grow in grace. Be alive to all that I am accomplishing in you and be blessed always. 

GOD'S WORD TODAY

Matthew 25:23

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

---- Mine, you will know by now that virtue is its own reward. Nothing will make you happier than to know that you have done all that was asked of you and the quiet joy you experience is more valuable than any material gift you will ever receive. This is the kind of joy and peace that can never be stolen. This quiet satisfaction and contentment in knowing that you have done all that I desire of you is My reward to you. Once you discover that the key to perennial joy is seeking My will, accepting My will and doing My will in every area of your life, you will open the door to an abundance of grace and gifts; so lavishly will I grant these that there will be an abundance of fruit visible in your life.
