SONG OF SONGS 2:10-14 (2024)

SONG OF SONGS 2:10-14

My beloved speaks and says to me: ‘Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away; for now the winter is past, the rain is over and gone. The flowers appear on the earth the time of singing has come, and the voice of the turtle-dove is heard in our land. The fig tree puts forth its figs, and the vines are in blossom; they give forth fragrance. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away. O my dove, in the clefts of the rock, in the covert of the cliff, let me see your face, let me hear your voice; for your voice is sweet, and your face is lovely.

---- mine,

In every life there must be seasons of suffering and grief there is no other way to be purified. Gold is tested in the furnace and souls are tested in the crucible of suffering, the fire of grief so too will your soul emerge pure, strong, full of courage, and steadfast in the face of trials and tribulations. There is no victory apart from the union of your daily cross with Mine that paid the debt of all your sins and transgressions. 

Fear nothing, ---- my own, I have heard your prayers and I have answered them all. Be of good cheer. Remain in Me as I remain in you and be filled with My Holy Spirit. Hidden deep in the cleft of My Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart of My Mother you and everyone you love will be kept safe from the storms of life. We will bring you to safe harbor.

LAMENTATIONS 3:22-26 (2024)

LAMENTATIONS 3:22-26

The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. ‘The Lord is my portion,’ says my soul, ‘therefore I will hope in him.’ The Lord is good to those who wait for him, to the soul that seeks him. It is good that one should wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord.

---- mine, Little by little, day by day, I am forming you in My image, in My likeness. On your part, stay still and remain in Me as I remain in you. Let not your heart be anxious or troubled trust in the power of My Word, the Eternal Word of the Father through whom all that exists came to be in the power of the Holy Spirit. Be still and know that I AM God. I AM the God who created you and redeemed you. And My Holy Spirit sanctifies you. Pray, hope, and be not afraid. AM I not your Brother, your Friend, and the Bridegroom of your soul? Nothing is too difficult for Me. Watch and pray and you will be astounded. Watch and pray!

HOSEA 14:4-7 (2024)

HOSEA 14:4-7

I will heal their disloyalty; I will love them freely, for my anger has turned from them. I will be like the dew to Israel; he shall blossom like the lily, he shall strike root like the forests of Lebanon. His shoots shall spread out; his beauty shall be like the olive tree, and his fragrance like that of Lebanon. They shall again live beneath my shadow, they shall flourish as a garden; they shall blossom like the vine their fragrance shall be like the wine of Lebanon.

---- mine, Once again, on this day of Pentecost when My Church celebrates her birthday, being born of fire and the Holy Spirit, I renew, once again, My promises to you and to every member of your family. This promise is for each one of them for whom you pray every waking hour and even when you wake up at night.  Take heart. Dry your eyes. Lift your gaze to Me from whence all your help comes and take heart. Have courage. Be of good cheer, ---- my own, for I have healed those so beloved to your heart. They will return to the bosom of My Church. Like dew, grace will permeate their soul and they will blossom with the gifts of the Holy Spirit. My fragrance will emanate from them. They shall return to live in My shadow never to depart from Me. They will be fruitful and their perfume will draw many to come to Me. Be not afraid. Trust in Me, and I the God of heaven and earth, King of Kings and Lord of Lord, have spoken.

ZECHARIAH 12:10, 13:1 (2024)

ZECHARIAH 12:10, 13:1

I will pour out on the family of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of love and supplication. They will look at the one who was pierced; and mourn for him, as for an only child, weeping bitterly, as for a firstborn.

On that day, a spring will be opened for the family of David and for the inhabitants of Jerusalem, to cleanse themselves of sin and defilement.

---- mine,

Pay close attention to what I reveal to you this day. Every prayer you have prayed for your loved ones, those for whom you cry out to heaven night and day with tears, sighs, and a broken heart is heard. They will cry out to Me for forgiveness, mercy, and pardon, and I will wash away all their iniquity, I will cleanse them of all their sins. I will restore their inheritance. I, the Lord, have spoken. 

Take heart, ---- my own, have courage. AM I, not your brother, your friend, the Beloved of your soul and its delight? Wipe your eyes, and take comfort in the words I speak to you today. Courage! I AM with you today and always. 

SONG OF SONGS 8:6-7 (2024)

SONG OF SONGS 8:6-7

Set me as a seal upon your heart,
as a seal upon your arm;
for love is strong as death,
passion fierce as the grave.
Its flashes are flashes of fire,
a raging flame.
Many waters cannot quench love,
neither can floods drown it.
If one offered for love
all the wealth of one’s house,
it would be utterly scorned.

---- mine,

I have sealed you in My Holy Spirit with cords of love that can never be broken. I have placed the imprint of My love on your soul, it is a mark of love that can never be removed and it shouts out to the heavens and the earth that you belong to Me in time and eternity. I thirst for your love ---- my own, the world is largely indifferent to Me, and a great many souls flee from Me, they desire to have nothing to do with Me because I ask that they be holy and perfect just as My Father is holy and perfect. There is no price for love except for a return of love. You cannot outdo Me in generosity and love. If you desire proof of My love, look at the crucifix and you will know the cost of true love. Love costs everything but also receives everything from the Lover. Love Me. Let Me find refreshment and consolation in your heart. Bathe Me with your love and speak tenderly of your love for Me. I AM yours and you are Mine and My banner over you is love. Remain in My love. 

ESTHER 5:3 (2024)

ESTHER 5:3

The king said to her, ‘What is it, Queen Esther? What is your request? It shall be given you, even to the half of my kingdom.’

---- mine,

Day after day, through the hours of every day, and in the watches of the night when you are awake and you raise your heart and your cry to Me, I hear you. There is never a moment when My gaze is not on you. How could I not? You are a child of God and the daughter of God, the Living God. And I, I AM your brother, friend, and the bridegroom of your soul. Can you doubt that I do not hear you and answer you? You are co-heir with Me to the Kingdom of Heaven. Through the power of My resurrection, I have given you life in Me and not just you but everyone that you bring to Me in prayer. Be of good cheer ---- my own, believe that in Me you and your loved ones share in My victory over the enemy, sin, and death. You are more than a conqueror through the power of My saving love for you.

ISAIAH 27:2-3 (2024)

ISAIAH 27:2-3

On that day, he will say,
“Praise my fruitful vineyard!
I, Yahweh, am its keeper; I water it every moment.
So that no one will harm it, day and night I guard it.”

---- mine,

It is the Holy Spirit who makes you fruitful and enables you to bear fruit in every season. I, Am the Vine and you are a branch of the Vine. My Father is the vinedresser who prunes you and removes all that hinders your growth. The Holy Spirit pours Living Water on you and keeps you alive. I AM the Gatekeeper who keeps vigil over you night and day so the Enemy cannot enter to harm you. Remain in my love, ---- my own. Choose life and turn resolutely away from anything that can separate you from Me. Apart from Me, you can do nothing but with Me, you will find that all things are possible. Remain in my love. 

MATTHEW 13:15-16 (2024)

 MATTHEW 13:15-16

For this people’s heart has grown dull,
and their ears are hard of hearing,
and they have shut their eyes;
so that they might not look with their eyes,
and listen with their ears,
and understand with their heart and turn—
and I would heal them.

But blessed are your eyes, for they see, 

and your ears, for they hear.

---- mine,

Those who belong to the world are dull of heart and deaf to the Word of Life and Truth. Having willfully chosen to be blind and deaf they are incapable of turning to Me and being saved. The culture that prevails in the world is a culture of decay, destruction, and death and those who belong to it are cut off from Me. 

But you, ----, my own, are blessed and you will continue to be blessed for as long as you keep your gaze on Me. Stay close to Me and be united to Me constantly in prayer. Remain in My Presence always. Allow My Holy Spirit to have complete sway over you and submit joyfully always to My will for you in all things and the peace that passes understanding will come on you and remain with you. 

BARUCH 4:5, 21, 27, 30 (2024)

BARUCH 4:5, 21, 27, 30

Take courage, my people,

who perpetuate Israel’s name!

Take courage, my children, cry to God,
and he will deliver you from the power and hand of the enemy.

Take courage, my children, and cry to God,
for you will be remembered by the one who brought this upon you.

Take courage, O Jerusalem,
for the one who named you will comfort you.

---- mine,

Take courage and do not be disheartened about anything. AM I not GOD? Do I not love you? Did I not lay down My Life for you so you may not taste death but receive eternal life in and through Me? I want you to engrave this message in your heart - take courage for I, the Lord your God, come to assist you, to take you by the hand, to lead you from darkness into My glorious light. Take courage, ---- my own, I the Lord your God have heard your cry, I have heard your sighs, I have heard all your prayers, I have heard and I assure you that I have delivered everyone that you are praying for with sighs too deep for words I have delivered from the hands of the enemy. Be still and know that I AM God and that nothing, nothing, nothing, is too difficult for Me.

PSALM 51:10-12 (2024)

PSALM 51:10-12

Create in me a clean heart, O God, 

and put a new and right spirit within me.
Do not cast me away from your presence,
and do not take your holy spirit from me.
Restore to me the joy of your salvation,
and sustain in me a willing spirit.

---- mine,

This is how I desire you to pray. Ask and you will receive a heart of flesh, a heart that makes the Holy Spirit delight in making His abode in you. Turn away resolutely from all that displeases Me. Be holy and perfect as your Heavenly Father is holy and perfect. You cannot do this on your own this is why you must stay in union with the Spirit of Truth and Love, He will help you reach the goal that I desire you to reach and that you desire for yourself as well. Live in Me, let My Name be constantly on your lips, and let it echo with every beat of your heart. Believe,, ---- my own, that everything you ask for in prayer with tears, and sighs too deep for words will be granted to you and you will know joy that no one and nothing can take away from you.

ESTHER 15:9, 11-12, 5:3 (2024)

ESTHER 15:9, 11-12, 5:3

“What is it, Esther?” he said. “I am your brother. Take heart
Come, speak to me.”
He raised the golden scepter, touched her neck with it, then embraced her saying, “Speak to me.”
The king asked, “What is it, queen Esther? Tell me what you wish. Even if it is half of my kingdom, I will give it to you.”

---- mine,

You are beloved of My soul just as I AM the beloved of yours. Take heart. Do not be discouraged but have faith that in My time, in My Way, and in accordance with My will, you will receive all that you ask for in prayer for those you pray for with sighs and tears too deep for words. Tell Me everything, I AM here. I AM waiting for you to speak and confide all to Me. I want to comfort you and assure you that in the end, ---- my own, all will be well. Have faith and pray with confidence and while you wait for an answer to your prayers continue to pray. Ask boldly for all you need and I will give it to you. Do not allow yourself to grow sad, worried, anxious, and fearful - when the time is right every prayer will be answered and I will grant all that you have asked for and more. AND WHILE YOU WAIT - PRAY.

PSALM 18:16, 19 (2024)

PSALM 18:16, 19

He reached down from on high, he took me;
he drew me out of mighty waters.
He brought me out into a broad place;
he delivered me, because he delighted in me.

---- mine,

Never doubt that you are precious in My sight. My gaze is on you constantly. There is never a moment when I am not present to you. All you need to do is think of Me and be aware of Me. It is you who forget that I AM always with you. I hear all your prayers, I hear every sigh. I gather all your tears. I know that you are suffering because those you love are in pain. Be not afraid ---- my own, I will save each of your loved ones for whom you plead and pray constantly. Never forget that it is I who have taken you by the hand because I delight in you and I will never let go. Have this confidence that in the end, every prayer will be heard and answered in My way, according to My will, and in My time. Be still and know that I AM God and I will never fail you.

PSALM 68:18-20 (2024)

PSALM 68:18-20

You ascended the high mount, leading captives in your train
and receiving gifts from people,
even from those who rebel against the Lord God’s abiding there.
Blessed be the Lord,
who daily bears us up;
God is our salvation.
Our God is a God of salvation,
and to God, the Lord, belongs escape from death.

---- mine,

Search the Scriptures and you will find Me, My Father, and the Holy Spirit. From the beginning, the Father's plan has been to save His wayward children through the merits of His only begotten Son. This plan is etched on every page of Sacred Scripture. Seek Me and you will find Me if you seek Me with all your heart. The verses in this psalm speak of My ascension into heaven after I lay down My life for My sheep, ransomed them, and led them back into the fold. My Holy Spirit is poured upon you, from Him you receive every gift, grace, and blessing to enable you in the perilous sojourn from this life to the next. I bear your daily burdens with you for I AM yoked to you, ---- my own. I AM Yeshua, the God who saves. I have saved you and all your loved ones from eternal death. Fear nothing but pray with confidence trusting in My power to save all who are called by My Name.

MATTHEW 13:55-56, 58 (2024)

MATTHEW 13:55-56, 58

Is not this the carpenter’s son? Is not his mother called Mary? And are not his brothers James and Joseph and Simon and Judas? And are not all his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all this?’ And he did not do many deeds of power there, because of their unbelief.

---- mine,

Pride and a know-it-all attitude is the root cause of many not coming to the full knowledge of Truth. There are vast numbers of those who call themselves by My Name - Christians but are anathema to Me because they disrespect My Virgin Mother and her most chaste spouse, Joseph, My foster father whom I called abba - the same name with which I call My Father. My Face is turned away from all who disrespect My Mother and St. Joseph. The worst kind of pride is one that comes from hardness of heart. The Holy Spirit, the Most Chaste Spouse of My most beloved Mother, will have nothing to do with those who speak all kinds of evil against the daughter of the Most High, the fairest flower in all Israel and the world, and St. Joseph who was hand-picked by God as protector and guardian of our Family in Nazareth. Love Mary and Joseph and you will soon find yourself beloved of Me, My Father, and the Holy Spirit and miracles will abound, your prayers will be answered and you will become a member of the household of God. Disrespect My Mother and My foster father and you will experience what the people in My hometown in Nazareth discovered, that I could work no mighty deeds there because they refused to give honor where honor was due. 

JUDITH 8:25-27 (2024)

JUDITH 8:25-27

In spite of everything let us give thanks to the Lord our God, who is putting us to the test as he did our ancestors. Remember what he did with Abraham, and how he tested Isaac, and what happened to Jacob in Syrian Mesopotamia, while he was tending the sheep of Laban, his mother’s brother. For he has not tried us with fire, as he did them, to search their hearts, nor has he taken vengeance on us; but the Lord scourges those who are close to him in order to admonish them.’

---- mine,

All testing is necessary so you may come to Me, lean on Me, ask for My help, and rely on Me. You know that when all is well you forget Me. I thirst for your love. All suffering is necessary to purify your love, your prayers, and to teach you that in the world you will have trials and sorrows, grief and loss - the world can offer you nothing that will last neither do you have a lasting home in the world. I have not treated you as you truly deserve, I have not tested you as I did the patriarchs of old but I have wrapped My arms around you and have patiently led you from darkness to light. I pursued you relentlessly when you fled from Me and when I found you wounded tired and abandoned, I bound your wounds and healed you. I carried you back to the fold. I continue to watch over you and care for you. I provide for all your needs. I hear your prayers. Do not become despondent when you do not receive an immediate answer to all your supplications. Know that I AM God and in My time I will restore all things and you will praise and glorify Me. For now, trust Me. Be still. Have faith and have confidence that in the end, according to My will, I will restore all. I will hear and answer you and your heart will rejoice. I do not desire the death of the sinner but that he repents, turns away from his sins, and returns to Me. I desire the salvation of your loved ones far more than you do. Persevere in prayer, pray with confidence, and all you have asked for you will receive and your heart will rejoice.

PSALM 147:11, 13-15 (2024)

PSALM 147:11, 13-15

The Lord takes pleasure in those who fear him,
in those who hope in his steadfast love.

For he strengthens the bars of your gates;
he blesses your children within you.
He grants peace within your borders;
he fills you with the finest of wheat.
He sends out his command to the earth;
his word runs swiftly.

---- mine,

I know you think your troubles are insurmountable, especially concerning those whom you love so dearly and for whom you pray constantly. You also know this is not wholly true because you know that I AM God and nothing is impossible with Me. You cling to Me. You are in My Presence always and you are constantly pleading their cause. I know you love Me and you trust that in My time, in My way, and according to My will I will grant all you ask for in prayer. Nothing delights Me more than to feed you morning after morning with My Word, My Presence, and at Holy Mass with My Body and Blood. Each time you receive Me in the Holy Eucharist I pour infinite graces on you. Continue to pray with expectant faith and all you ask for in prayer will be granted to you. I have already spoken and my word that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and succeed in the thing for which I sent it.

JOHN 12:24-26 (2024)

JOHN 12:24-26

Very truly, I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains just a single grain; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. Those who love their life lose it, and those who hate their life in this world will keep it for eternal life. Whoever serves me must follow me, and where I am, there will my servant be also. Whoever serves me, the Father will honour.

---- mine,

I give you so many opportunities during all your waking hours to die to yourself because I want you to have eternal life and win the crown of glory. Temptations abound, ask for the grace you need to be conscious of the Holy Spirit who will help you to overcome the resistance you sometimes experience when you are called to set aside your will and do what I ask of you. I call you constantly to follow Me, listen, and pay attention and soon it will become second nature to you to hear Me speaking to you. A good, faithful, loyal servant who loves his master is keenly aware of his wishes and often anticipates what his master wants. Do this yourself - serve Me faithfully, joyfully, promptly obedient to all My commands and My Father will honor you. Remain in My love and you will remain in My joy. 

LUKE 13:24-25 (2024)

LUKE 13:24-25

‘Strive to enter through the narrow door; for many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able. When once the owner of the house has got up and shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and to knock at the door, saying, “Lord, open to us”, then in reply he will say to you, “I do not know where you come from.”

---- mine,

The door is not narrow for those who have stripped themselves of all that is not of the Kingdom, who have emptied themselves of the things of the world, of self-will, self-indulgence, and have clung to Me in faith. They carried their cross daily with love, faith, trust, and humility and followed Me. But those whose souls are bloated and coarse by giving themselves over to the world, the flesh, and the devil will find it impossible to enter through the narrow gate. When the hour arrives for Me to return in glory, I will come and take all My little ones. They will receive a share in My inheritance. But those who refused to hear My Words and obey My commandments will find the door locked and the gates shut. At that time they will knock and plead for the door to be opened to them but I will say, “I do not know where you come from.” You have today, the present moment, ---- my own, to listen to My Word and keep it tomorrow may be too late. Remain faithful today, in the present moment so You will not hear Me address those dreaded words to you, “Depart from Me, I do not know where you come from."

MATTHEW 22:37-39 (2024)

MATTHEW 22:37-39

Jesus said to him, ‘ “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.” This is the greatest and first commandment. And a second is like it: “You shall love your neighbour as yourself.”

---- mine,

Obey these two commandments and you will enter paradise. This is the daily burden of love you are invited to carry from moment to moment, day in and day out, week after week, month after month for as long as you live. This is the Way to enter through the narrow gate and come to the Father's house there to live and reign with Me eternally. This is the Way of the Cross there is no other unless you die to yourself you cannot live. To love Me, to love My Father, to love the Holy Spirit with every fiber of your being and think nothing of doing all, enduring all, for the sake of the love you have for God, and then to love your neighbor as yourself, this is the Way to Life, to peace, to enduring joy in this life and perfect and complete joy in God's presence, in the presence of My Mother and all the angels and saints. Keep these two commandments, ---- my own, and you will already live in heaven while still on earth.

LUKE 9:23-25 (2024)

LUKE 9:23-25

Then Jesus said to them all, ‘If any want to become my followers, let them deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me. For those who want to save their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake will save it. What does it profit them if they gain the whole world, but lose or forfeit themselves?’

---- mine,

If you hanker for a life of ease and comfort, a life without sorrow, suffering, and trials you will never know joy or peace. If you are always looking for ways to escape the cross you will soon discover that there is neither peace nor joy in a life that seeks to be free of suffering. What I said to my followers at that time holds true today and until My return. You must constantly wage battle against the clamoring desires of your flesh, the temptation to seek and indulge in worldly pleasure, recognition, and approval. You cannot save your life unless you lay it down for your brothers and sisters for My Sake. Ask the Holy Spirit to empty your heart of all that is not of Me and ask Him to fill it with My life and My love. 

SIRACH 34:16-17 (2024)

SIRACH 34:16-17

The eyes of the Lord are on those
who love him. For them he is powerful
protection, strong support; 

shelter against scorching wind and the midday sun. 

He is a safeguard against stumbling 

and assurance against a fall.

He lifts up the soul
and gives a sparkle to the eyes; he gives
healing, life and blessing.

---- mine,

Morning after morning when you come to Me and spend the first hours of your day with Me I assure you that I AM with you and will never take My hand of protection from you or your loved ones. Today, once again, I renew all My assurances - take heart, ---- my own, for My Word is true, all that I have promised you I will accomplish. Anyone who loves Me will have God as their Father, Brother, Helper. No matter what the cross is that is laid on you I will help you carry it - for I AM yoked to you. I AM God is anything too difficult for Me! BE NOT AFRAID but walk with your head upright in the sure and certain knowledge that YOU ARE MINE.
