WORD OF GOD

Tobit 12:15

I am Raphael, one of the seven holy angels,
who present the prayers of holy people
and who stand before the glory of God.


---- MIne,

Never doubt the power of prayer. Every heartfelt cry is like an arrow that flies straight to the throne of God. He hears and answers. Have I not said, "Ask and you will receive, seek and you will find, knock and the door will be opened?" It delights My Father to give His children all that they need. Have a childlike faith when you pray and you will be heard. No prayer goes unanswered. I will command My angels to accompany you. You will go in safety and return in safety.

WORD OF GOD

Esther 5:9A,11, 12C

What is it?
I am your brother. Take heart.
Come speak to me.
Speak to me.


---- Mine,

No power can separate you from My love. I have loved you with an everlasting love, you are Mine, Be not afraid no matter what challenges or sufferings you are called to endure in this life; I will provide all the grace, strength, and help you need to endure. Through it all and every single time I will be right here beside you. I will be with you, I will be in you. Fear not for I AM with you always.

WORD OF GOD

Philippians 4:13

I can do all things in him
who strengthens me.


---- Mine,

Have you not tried and tested the Word I speak to you today and discovered it to be ever true? Have you not discovered time and time again that when you were at your lowest and weakest and you called on My Name for help that it was given and you were strengthened to endure the cross laid on you at the time? Recall this truth each time you find your cross heavy. You will never receive a trial that is beyond your ability to endure. Pray constantly calling on My Name, ask for grace in every difficulty, and you will find My yoke light and My burden easy.

WORD OF GOD

1 Corinthians 7:23A

You have been bought at a very great price.


---- Mine,

I am not able to say which caused My Father greater sorrow, the first sin committed by Adam and Eve or the giving up of His Beloved Son into the hands of the people He chose for His own, knowing what they would do to Me. It is probably the first because when they sinned His great love demanded that they had to be a remedy for that Sin and that remedy was Me.

There is no way ---- Mine, you can fully fathom what your salvation cost. There is no price that can be paid for love.  

WORD OF GOD

Galatians 3:26-27

Now, in Christ Jesus, 

all of you are sons and daughters of God, 

through faith. 

All of you, who were given to Christ 

through Baptism, have put on Christ.

I call you, ---- Mine, because you belong to Me. Through Baptism you have been grafted to Me, the only Son of the Living God. You are a member of My Body. The life of My Spirit breathes in you, moves in you, animates you and is alive in you. This is why you no longer are a child of the world but a new creation in Me, you are a daughter of God and co-heir with Me to the Kingdom of heaven.

WORD OF GOD

Psalm 52:10

But I am as a green olive tree
that thrives in the house of God.
I trust in God's unfailing love
forever and ever.


---- Mine,

Trust Me with all your heart. Trust Me to provide for all you need in this life. Trust Me to remain with you always. Trust Me in every situation and you will discover that having Me you have need of nothing else. I AM the Lord your God put no created thing before Me. Trust Me and know that having Me you have all. 

WORD OF GOD

Hebrews 5:8-9
Although he was Son, he learned, 

through suffering, what obedience was,

and, once made perfect, 

he became the source of eternal salvation, 

for those who obey him.

---- My Own,

There is nothing like suffering in the right spirit to become like Me. Suffering, which is the consequence of sin, is permitted by God because it humbles and purifies. I took on the suffering of the world and made reparation by the offering of My Life to the Father. I entered death in order that You may receive life. My Father has ordained through My suffering and sacrifice, that I become the source of eternal salvation for all who obey My Word. Humility and obedience are the hallmarks of My disciples. In the crucible of suffering My disciples are made holy and perfect like My Father in heaven.   

WORDOF GOD

Sirach 1:26-27

Do you desire wisdom? Keep the commandments 

and the Lord will give her to you without measure; 

for fear of the Lord is wisdom and learning; 

what pleases him is faithfulness and gentleness.

---- My Own,

To be wise is to know that I AM the Author of Life and in all humility to be always aware that you are created by God who does not need you; nor do I need anything that you can give Me. You and all of creation exist because I AM Love and all that is, was created in love. I AM Truth and all that is true, good, beautiful, pure and wises emanates from Me. Do you wish to be wise? Ask for the Holy Spirit to remain in you and do nothing that will grieve Him for where the Spirit of the Lord is there is joy and fear of the Lord which is the beginning of wisdom. The fear of the Lord is the awareness that although you are nothing I love you with an everlasting love. You are Mine. 

WORD OF GOD

Mark 13:31

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

---- Mine,

My words are spirit and life. The Eternal Word of God is the Son of the Living God eternally begotten of the Father. The Word of God is the Word of Truth. I AM God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God. I sustain and uphold all things for this is the Father's will. All that is the Father's is Mine and I share what I have received with anyone I choose. Remain in Me and let my words remain in you and you will live. 

WORD OF GOD

Philippians 3:20-21

For us, our citizenship is in heaven,
from where we await the coming
of our Savior, Jesus Christ, the Lord.
He will transfigure our lowly body,
making it like his own body, radiant in Glory,
through the power which is his 
to submit everything to himself.


---- Mine,

Death indeed is hard because it causes separation from the people we love. But for those who believe, those who are members of My Body, they are not inconsolable. Yes, they will grieve for a while, but they will find comfort in the truth that death does not have the last word. Faith in Me brings the knowledge that I have conquered death and everyone who believes in Me will share in My Resurrection. I AM the Way, the Truth, and the Life and all who believe in Me will receive the reward of eternal life. Rejoice for your names are written in heaven.

WORD OF GOD

Sirach 26:1-4

Happy the husband of a good wife, 

the number of his days will be doubled. 

A woman of character is her husband’s joy, 

he will live in peace all the years of his life.

A good wife is the best of gifts, 

reserved for those who fear the Lord; 

rich or poor, he will have a serene heart 

and a happy face.

---- Mine,

Remember these words of wisdom and you will have a happy, serene home where faith in Me and love for Me reigns.

WORD OF GOD

Matthew 7:14

How narrow is the gate that leads to life
and how rough the road; 
few there are who find it.

---- Mine,

If you are to truly answer the call to discipleship you will find out how true My word to you today is. The world hated Me and the world hates those who follow Me because selfish desires and self-indulgence are the clarion call of the world. It preaches a life of ease and comfort, of instant gratification, of taking what you want regardless of the consequences, of using and abusing oneself as well as others. It preaches a feel-good gospel. Whereas the Way of the Cross is the way of self-denial, of love of God and love of neighbor regardless of the cost to oneself, of seeking the good of the other before self, of discipline and self-control. Only a few who have discovered the true meaning of love are prepared to seek, find, and embrace the narrow way.

WORD OF GOD

Matthew 22:14

"Know that many are called,
but few are chosen."


When you only go through the form and rituals of religion but do not enter the heart of your faith, it is meaningless and without merit. To practice your faith you must live it and witness to it by the way you live your life every moment of every day. Not everyone who says to Me, "Lord, Lord, will enter the Kingdom of heaven but the one who does the will of My Father in heaven."

WORD OF GOD

Jeremiah 4:1-2

“If you return to me, O Israel—it is Yahweh who speaks—
if you convert to me and remove your dirty idols
from my sight you will have no need to hide from me;
if you truthfully, justly and honestly swear by Yahweh’s life, then you will be a blessing for all nations,
and you will be their glory.”


---- Mine,

All have sinned this is why I call keep inviting sinners to repentance. Get rid of the filthy idols that you cling to; for as long as you hold on to them you cannot be wholly Mine. Get rid of self-righteousness, pride, self-indulgence at the cost of discipline. Get rid of the little lies you tell yourself to hold on to your weaknesses. Let the Light of Truth help you sweep away all that keeps you from truly following Me with a joyful heart and a clear conscience. Then you will be a lamp that is lit and set on a lampstand to illumine your own life and those around you. Ongoing repentance and confession are necessary in order to live a holy life pleasing to Me and filled with the Holy Spirit. 

WORD OF GOD

2 Corinthians 3:17

The Lord is spirit,
and where the Spirit of the Lord is,
there is freedom.


---- Mine,

The Holy Spirit who is the Spirit of My Father and My Spirit dwells in you. He sets you free to choose the right, the true, the good the beautiful, and the honorable always. You are set free in order to give to God the highest form of worship by the way you live your life each day. You are free to turn away from sin and do nothing that will put your immortal soul in peril. Pray constantly for protection from the temptations that come from the flesh, the world, and the devil. Be on your guard and do not rely on your own strength but on grace which is poured into your soul each time you frequent the Sacraments. Stay alert, pray constantly, and remember that I AM with you always. 

WORD OF GOD

Isaiah 54:10

The mountains may depart
and the hills be moved,
but never will my love depart from you
nor my Covenant of peace be removed,
says Yahweh whose compassion is for you.

---- Mine,

Be still and know that I the Lord am your God there is no other. Place nothing before Me or above Me. You are Mine. I have chosen you and have made a Covenant of Love with you forged in My Blood and sealed in My Spirit. Let nothing trouble you, alarm you, or cause you to fear, for I walk with you always. No weapon forged against you will succeed for I have triumphed over sin and death and have won the victory. In Me, you have victory over sin and its consequences, death. You belong to Me, I know you by your name, you are Mine now and always.

WORD OF GOD

Isaiah 40:7

The grass withers, the flower fades,
but the word of our God will forever stand.


---- Mine,

All that is of the world will perish, everything in the material world will ultimately rot, decay, and become worthless. Only the works of the Spirit will endure as will the Word of God which is eternal. I AM the Word eternally begotten of the Father; before anything ever was I AM. Store up for yourself riches that will not perish. Do everything that is prompted by love and let the Spirit of God dwell in you for He is given to you as your Helper, your Advocate. He is the Power of God and the Wisdom of God, He is the Spirit of Love and Truth. Be filled with Spirit and let Him inspire you, lead you, and guide you, all the days of your life.

WORD OF GOD

Luke 7:44-47

“Do you see this woman?
You gave me no water for my feet
when I entered your house;
but she has washed my feet with her tears
and dried them with her hair.
You didn’t welcome me with a kiss;
but she has not stopped kissing my feet
since she came in.
You provided no oil for my head;
but she has poured perfume on my feet.
This is why, I tell you, her sins,
her many sins are forgiven,
because of her great love.

---- Mine,

All too often you do not see someone because of your blindness, you do not see because you have made a pre-conceived judgement and have such a narrow vision like Simon the Leper, a Pharisee who was unable to see from a nobler and more generous perspective. He could not get past who he thought she was; he could not see her soul. Her courage was greater than the burden of sin that weighed on her soul. 

A penitent must approach the Throne of Grace and Mercy with the same attitude of this woman. She came in humility, she was contrite of heart, she had no thought for the people around her who judged her unfavorably, she knew what she wanted and knew who could give it to her. She offered her broken, sinful, contrite heart to God and in return, God who sees all and knows all, recognized what it took for this woman who was a public sinner to brave the cruelty of the self-righteous men who had gathered there in order to come to the only One who could help her begin anew.

Thank You Beloved for the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Thank You for the joy and new life we receive each time we approach this awesome Sacrament and encounter the Lord our God of Love, Compassion, and Mercy.

WORD OF GOD

Ezekiel 18:21-22

But if the wicked man turns away from all the sins he has committed, if he keeps all my statutes and does what is just and right, he shall surely live. He shall not die!

None of the crimes he has committed shall be remembered against him; he shall live because of the justice he has shown.

---- Mine,

In the Sacrament of Reconciliation, the gravest of sins are forgiven and the dead soul receives new life once more and lives. As far as the east is from the west so far will I remove Your sins from You and they shall be forgotten. It will be as if you have never sinned for I shall have no memory of it. Do not be afraid to come to Me with the attitude of a child when You have transgressed. Nothing delights heaven more than the repentant, contrite heart, that turns away from sin.

Frequent this Sacrament often. It is a matter of scandal that this Sacrament of grace and life is taken so lightly by both by my priests and my people. It is a Gift that is ignored by most as sin continues to flourish and many souls are lost. Where sin abounds, the one who repents will find that grace abounds even more.

WORD OF GOD

Jeremiah 51:46

"Do not lose heart or be afraid
when rumors are heard,
when rumors come year after year,
rumors of violence and disaster,
intrigues of ruler against ruler."

---- Mine,

I know that when you hear of the terrible things that happen around you and in the world it is hard not to be alarmed, afraid, and uncertain of what terrible calamities the sins of evildoers will bring upon their own heads and upon those of the innocent. But remember, that I AM God, and I AM always in control. No harm shall come to those who belong to Me. I watch over You and I protect You. I have counted every hair on your head. I breathe the breath of life in you. Be not afraid for fear has no place in love.

WORD OF GOD

2 Corinthians 12:9

My grace is enough for you;
my great strength is revealed in weakness.


---- Mine,

It is good for you to know how truly weak you are and how dependant on my grace and strength. Pride has been the downfall of many who are self-righteous. No one saves themselves. No one can please God without the grace and help that comes from the Holy Spirit. It is only when you know how poor you are, how helpless you are without Me, how frail and easily tempted, and how easily you give into temptation that you will be humble and meek. Then your gaze will be lifted up to Me, your hands will reach out for Mine, and you will lean on Me for strength and help. Without Me, you can do nothing. 

WORD OF GOD

Wisdom 1:16

It is the godless that consider death a friend
and call for it in every way.
They have made a pact with it and
they shall justly belong to it.


---- Mine,

Where sin abounds death abounds but so does grace. Those who glorify death can have no part of Me for I AM Life. No one can enjoy eternal life if they actively and willfully seek death as a means of achieving selfish ends. I AM the Author of Life and I alone have the authority to give life and to command it to cease on earth and be taken up again with Me eternally. The unpardonable sin is when one usurps the authority that belongs to God alone.

WORD OF GOD

Mark 5:36B

"Do not fear, just believe."


---- Mine,

Fear and anxiety about anything reveal a lack of faith and trust in My Love as well as Your Father in heaven. When you find yourself getting fearful, anxious or depressed about any situation in your life that threatens to overwhelm you, take a moment to look back and count the many times when what you feared or were anxious about never occurred. That was the hand of God and the power of My Spirit that came to your help. 

Trust Me, ---- Mine, and when you find yourself becoming fearful and alarmed about a situation that you cannot control, take a breath, still your inner being, let go and let God take control. Recall My Word and keep saying to yourself, "Do not fear, just believe." Peace will flow into your being. 

WORD OF GOD

2 Corinthians 6:18

I will be gracious to you, I will be a father to you,
that you may become my sons and daughters,
says the all-powerful God.

---- Mine,

No one will love you as God loves you. You are precious in His sight. He has always desired to be a Father to His creatures whom He created in His image and likeness. Yes, you are sinner, yes you fall, yes you will continue to do so because you are weak, but the most important for you to keep always before you is that My mercy outweighs any sin no matter how grave. Trust Me. Unworthy as you know you are Mine. You are loved and will always be loved as a precious daughter of the all-powerful God.

WORD OF GOD

Matthew 7:21

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


---- Mine,

The will of My Father was food and drink to Me and it must be for you too. The will of My Father is that you obey the two great commandments; the first is to love the Lord your God with your whole heart, your whole mind, and your whole strength, and the second is that you love everyone you encounter each day as you love yourself. Do this and you will be doing what the Father asks of you. Piety devoid of true love for neighbor is hypocrisy and hypocrites are liars; they lie to themselves and to God.
