Then Jesus called his disciples to him and said, ‘I have compassion for the crowd, because they have been with me now for three days and have nothing to eat; and I do not want to send them away hungry, for they might faint on the way.’

I would not let the crowd go away hungry after they had been with Me for three days, how much more will I give all that is needed to those who belong to Me, who are called by My Name, are sealed in My Blood and who are faithful to Me always.

WORD OF GOD - JN 12:1-3 (LENT 2021)

JOHN 12:1-3

Six days before the Passover Jesus came to Bethany, the home of Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead. There they gave a

dinner for him. Martha served, and Lazarus was one of those at the table with him. Mary took a pound of costly perfume made of pure nard, anointed Jesus’ feet, and wiped them with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.

---- Mine,

Contemplate the scene before you, the hour for which I have come into the world is almost upon Me and I desire to be around those who love Me, believe in Me, and are delighted to welcome Me into their home. What a comforting respite from all the hatred and accusations of those who are plotting ceaselessly to kill Me. Dear Martha's love is visible in her service. She wishes to make sure that I AM comfortable. Lazarus along with his friends and My disciples are seated at the table with Me. They witnessed the miracle of raising Lazarus to life and they know that I AM who I say I AM. And then there is Mary she knows intuitively what must be done. She loves greatly and love makes her highly sensitized to everything concerning Me. She brings a jar of costly perfume and anoints My feet with it and wipes them with her hair. She is oblivious to what those in the room may think of her actions. The fragrance of the expensive perfume fills the entire house symbolizing the fragrance of the holocaust of My Sacrifice which will rise up and fill the highest heavens with its fragrance as I redeem the world.

your name on the palm of My Hand. Every scar on My Body is a testament of My Father's love for you and Mine too. Did I not endure the ignominy of the Cross for your sake?

  ‘Abba, Father, for you all things are possible; remove this cup from me; yet, not what I want, but what you want.’

---- Mine,

When you have to undergo intense suffering at different times in your life remember, I understand. I know what it means to desire to run away from the cross. I knew exactly what was in store for Me and I wanted to flee. I knew the number of lashes that would lacerate My Flesh. I knew the exact number of blows that would I would

receive on My Face, and on My Body. I knew every vile and foul word that would be uttered by my torturers. I knew who would speak calumny against Me and what they would say. But more than all the physical sufferings was the knowledge of every sin for which I had to atone - beginning with the first to the very last sin that humankind would commit. I knew the number, their gravity, their utter foulness. This was the greater weight, the greater cross, the unutterable foulness of sin whose putrid stench covered Me like a heavy blanket that smothered Me. So, yes, I do understand when you suffer - so come to Me, talk to Me, ask Me for help, grace, and strength, and I will help you carry your cross because I understand. a

WORD OF GOD - JN 20:27 (LENT 2021)

WORD OF GOD - LAM 3:55-57 (LENT 2021)

LAMENTATIONS 3:55-57

I called on your name, O Lord,
from the depths of the pit;
you heard my plea, ‘Do not close your ear
to my cry for help, but give me relief!’
You came near when I called on you;
you said, ‘Do not fear!’

---- Mine,

Fear is the most useless of all the emotions, it fills you with anxiety, it overwhelms you, it suffocates you, it paralyzes your mind, it takes over your senses, you cannot breathe and you drown in a sea of useless emotions that brings no relief.

Faith, on the other hand, enables you to see no matter how dark the night may be. It helps you to grasp the hand that is always outstretched, to hear the voice that constantly assures you, 'I AM here, be not afraid, I will save you.' I scatter the demons that threaten to swallow you, I give you hope as gentle as the dewfall that calms your spirit and fills your whole being with light and life. This is why I constantly urge you in My Word, 'Do not be afraid, just believe.' I have never failed you and I never will - I AM God

 So it is not the will of your Father in heaven that one of these little ones should be lost.

---- Mine,

Do not be disheartened or dismayed that those whose conversion you have been praying for so long still seem to be far from experiencing a change of heart. Pray constantly, pray without ceasings, pray with faith, your Father desires that they be saved even more than you do. Have this confidence in you always, not one of those who belong to Me, who have been marked by the waters of baptism and sealed in the Holy Spirit will be lost. My death will not be in vain - do not lose heart; they will return to My Father and theirs I assure you.

Be still, rest on My breast, and let the question penetrate deep into your soul. What is it that you want Me to do for you and then ask and you will receive, seek and you will find, knock and the door will be opened to you; for all who seek, find, all who ask, receive, and to all who knock the door will be thrown wide open and you will enter and rejoice with Me and the angelic hosts in time and eternity.

'For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.'

---- Mine,

If you desire to have a relationship with Me, if you desire My Father to be your Father, if you desire to walk in intimacy with the Triune God, there is one way and one way only - you must do the will of My heavenly Father. The will of the Father leads you to the cross and to suffering, it means denying yourself, taking up your cross daily, and following Me. There is no easy road - the road to Life is narrow, hard, and difficult and few choose it but those who do, receive the fullness of joy in the Kingdom of My Father.

WORD OF GOD - LK 4:39 (LENT 2021)

Then Jesus stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her.
Immediately she got up and began to serve them.

---- Mine,

Your life does not belong to you it belongs to the One who gave it to you as a gift to be used for My glory and for the glory of Him who created you. The only way to prove your love for Me and your heavenly Father is to cooperate wholly with the Holy Spirit. He enables you do all things with the help of grace readily available to all who love Me. A life that is lived in service to the Church and to your brothers and sisters in need is one that glorifies and honors Me best. Imitate Me, I came to serve not to be served, and to give My life as a ransom for many. Remember, love willingly lays down its life for the sake of the beloved.
