2 MACCABEES 15:21, 23, 27 (2025)

2 MACCABEES 15:21, 23, 27

21 Maccabeus, observing the masses that were in front of him and the varied supply of arms and the savagery of the elephants, stretched out his hands towards heaven and called upon the Lord who works wonders; for he knew that it is not by arms, but as the Lord decides, that he gains the victory for those who deserve it. 

23 So now, O Sovereign of the heavens, send a good angel to spread terror and trembling before us. 

27 So, fighting with their hands and praying to God in their hearts, they laid low at least thirty-five thousand, and were greatly gladdened by God’s manifestation.

---- mine,

Victory will always be yours when you surrender and submit humbly to My will in all things, trusting that I, the Lord your God, will battle mightily for you and remain beside you when you do. Trust in Me and victory will be yours for I have commanded my angels to go before you and keep you safe from the terrors the enemy has devised against you. I AM the Lord your God is anything too difficult for Me? You who have put your hand to the plough must labor hard doing all that I command you despite the cost and while you fight raise your heart and mind to Me, call My Name and let prayer, praise, thanksgiving and supplication rise up to Me unceasingly. Do this and I will ensure that in the end you will be victorious. I will help you weed out every weakness that makes you susceptible to the snares that the evil one lays out for you. Have faith, the battle is won and victory belongs to you if you fight the good fight to the end. 

ISAIAH 65:1, 24 (2025)

ISAIAH 65:1, 24

I was ready to be sought out by those who did not ask,
to be found by those who did not seek me.
I said, ‘Here I am, here I am’,
to a nation that did not call on my name.

Before they call I will answer,
while they are yet speaking I will hear.

---- mine,

From the moment of your conception, I have known you, before you were born, I knew you. I called you by your name and I declared that you were Mine and not just you but everyone you love belongs to Me. Have you forgotten your past? How you hid from Me often because you wanted to walk in ways that led to death, not life? The further fled from Me the more relentlessly I pursued you. I never gave up, I never tired of looking for you and I did find you and I assured you of My love. I washed away your iniquities and cleansed you of all your sins. I healed your wounds, I restored you to life, I blessed you with life and health, I poured gifts on you, I bound you to Me with cords of love, I declared you to be Mine. So do not lose heart, ---- my own, I will save. Have courage! Continue to pray, to hope, and do not worry. In the end, My Hand will save. Am I not God? Am I not the Savior and Redeemer of the world? Did I not lay down My Life as a ransom for the sins of the world? So do not be anxious, do not tremble with fear and anxiety. Be of good cheer because I assure you today, here and now, that their deliverance is at hand. Rejoice and be glad for the victory of the Lord is here.

EZEKIEL 37:26-27 - 2025

EZEKIEL 37:26-27

I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them; and I will bless them and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary among them for evermore. My dwelling-place shall be with them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

---- mine,

Why do you doubt? Why do you entertain unhappy thoughts that rob you of your peace? Why are you downcast? Where is your faith? Do you not know that I AM faithful? Do you not yet understand that you must wait and pray and not grow weary? Have I not assured you over and over again that when the time is right, I will answer you and meet all the needs of your loved ones? What kind of love is this that has no confidence in the Beloved? Have I not assured you daily that I have heard your prayers, your sighs, seen your tears and collected each one of them and My heart has been moved with pity, compassion and mercy? Have I not assured you that My covenant with you and your loved ones is everlasting and cannot be broken? Pay attention now! Look at Me! Fix your gaze on Me and believe what I say to you this day and every day, I have blessed you and your loved ones, I have drawn you into the sanctuary of My Sacred Heart, I AM your dwelling place. I AM your God and you are Mine now and forever. You are Mine.  Rejoice and be glad because I always keep My promises and My Covenant with you is everlasting.

JOSHUA 1:5-7 (2025)

JOSHUA 1:5-7

No one shall be able to stand against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will not fail you or forsake you. Be strong and courageous; for you shall put this people in possession of the land that I swore to their ancestors to give them. Only be strong and very courageous, being careful to act in accordance with all the law that my servant Moses commanded you; do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, so that you may be successful wherever you go.

---- mine,

Why do you doubt? Why do you lose heart? Do you not know that I AM God and I keep My promises? Have faith! Believe! I ask you to wait in quiet surrender and submission to My will for in My will is perfect peace and rest. Wait with expectation, and know that while you wait I AM healing you, purifying you, strengthening you, and granting you all the graces you need to grow in virtue and not just you but all your family needs as well for whom you pray with such a burden on your heart. I hear all, I see all and know that My hand is not too short to save every one of them. You will receive all that I assured you I will give but in My way, and at a time that is of My choosing. Remain in My love and keep all the commandments  In this solemn time of Lent, lean on Me and receive strength when you are weary. When you are tempted, to give up, keep your gaze fixed on Me and ask for My help, and I will give it to you so you will overcome the snares that the devil lays out for you. Have no fear, ---- my own, I AM here and I will ever leave you not now not ever. 

RUTH 3:8-9 (2025)

RUTH 3:8-9

At midnight the man awoke when he turned over and felt someone lying at his feet. He got up and was startled to find a woman there.

“Who are you?” he asked. The answer came, “I am Ruth, your servant. Spread the corner of your cloak over me for you are a kinsman who has right of redemption over me.”

---- mine,

Unlike Boaz, I know who you are, I know your name, I see you day and night prostrate at My feet, and this day, I wish to assure you again as I have done innumerable times in the past, that I know you and I love you. I have heard your prayers, I know all the desires of your heart, I have seen your pain, and your tears, I have heard your sighs and I am aware of all the longings of your heart. I AM your Kinsman, I AM your Brother, I AM your Beloved, I AM your Spouse, and I have not only spread My mantle of protection over you and all those you love, but I have redeemed you with My Life. Be not afraid, ---- my own,  continue to remain with Me I and in Me. I have drawn you close to My Heart and I have drawn those you love as well. Be not afraid, at a time of My choosing I will heal, save and restore I AM God and keep every one of My promises.

SONG OF SONGS 1:1-4 (2025)

SONG OF SONGS 1:1-4

Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth!
For your love is better than wine,
your anointing oils are fragrant,
your name is perfume poured out;
therefore the maidens love you.
Draw me after you, let us make haste.
The king has brought me into his chambers.
We will exult and rejoice in you;
we will extol your love more than wine;
rightly do they love you.

---- mine,

Call Me, desire Me, hunger and thirst for Me, yearn for Me, let your heart and soul pant with longing to belong to Me and to Me alone. Ask for the Holy Spirit to come upon you, descend in you, and make you His dwelling place. Ask for the grace to be led by Me into the inner sanctuary, the Holy of Holies, to the place where I AM enthroned and there remain in silence before Me. Gaze on Me and let My gaze be locked in yours. Nothing the world offers you will be sweeter or richer than being fed on My Word, nothing more intoxicating than the Wine of My Love and more satisfying than receiving My Life in its fullness. Ask, ---- my own, for all that is necessary to be pleasing to Me. Ask for nothing more than this, that you remain in Me and I remain in you always. Ask for rich graces so you may grow in virtue, and the Holy Spirit will adorn your soul like a bride, and I will come to you and make My home in your heart. Do not allow the world to distract you, or lure you from Me with empty promises but ask to be filled with My Spirit. Ask and you will receive all that you need to carry your cross and you will be given strength and courage to bear it faithfully, to live in the world but not belong to it, and I will bring you to that place of rest, peace and joy where no tear will ever dim your eye again and all sorrow will be at an end.

SONG OF SONGS 5:16, 6:3

SONG OF SONGS 5:16, 6:3

His speech is most sweet,
and he is altogether desirable.
This is my beloved and this is my friend,
O daughters of Jerusalem.

I am my beloved’s and my beloved is mine;
he pastures his flock among the lilies.

---- mine,

If you find My Word sweeter than honey and as fine wheat then you will truly hunger and thirst for the Word of Life, the Word of Truth. The Word will direct your Way to the Heart and the Kingdom of God, ---- my own. It is not enough to praise Me only with your lips you must believe. Have faith that all that you ask for will be given to you. What do you need? What is it that your heart longs for? What is it that keeps you awake in the watches of the night on your bed? What brings tears to your eyes, a sigh to your lips, and fills your heart with grief? Come, tell Me all about it. I am here, I Am waiting for you to come to Me with confidence. Lay your head against My Heart and listen to how steadily it beats with love for you. Come ---- my own, confide everything to Me, tell Me all your fears, your longings, your regrets, your sins, your past, your present, and your future. Speak and I will listen, ask and I will give, seek and you will find in Me the answers to all that your heart is longing for. Come, be nourished by Me, and know that I love you and I love those you love and pray for. Do not be afraid - at a time of My choosing and in the manner that I will, I will satisfy all the deepest longings and desires of your heart, this I promise you. Have faith and do not be afraid. Know that I AM God and My hand is never too short to save.

HOSEA 6:6 (2025)

HOSEA 6:6

For I desire steadfast love and not sacrifice,
   the knowledge of God rather than burnt-offerings.

---- mine,

All I want is you, all I long for is to have a close relationship with you. I AM God and I AM Love and nothing less than all your love is what I long for. I desire steadfast love, not love that is lukewarm, that blows hot and cold but a love that increases the more you know Me and come into a deeper relationship with Me. If you desire to love Me as you ought then keep your eyes fixed on Me, your thoughts on Me, whatever you do, be aware of My Presence in you. You are a living tabernacle and here I have chosen to make My home. You can retreat into this holy place in your soul any time and be alone with Me and allow My love for you to fill your whole being to strengthen you, encourage you, and help you as you make your way from this life to the next. Be still and know that I AM God and that I love you. I lay down My life that you may live. What return are you making for this great sacrificial love of Mine for you? I want no part of a divided heart or a love that blows hot and cold. You can begin to live in heaven while still on earth if you live in my love and in My Presence. It is not hard to do, just close your eyes, still your senses, quiet your emotions, empty yourself of all the noise that clamors for your attention, and ask the Holy Spirit to help you enter the still, quiet place where I dwell.  Here you will find Me night and day loving you and waiting for you to come to Me, worship and adore Me, and live in Me.

TOBIT 12:8-10 (2025)

TOBIT 12:8-10

It is a good thing to accompany prayer with fasting, almsgiving and justice. It is better to do a little with honor than much with injustice. 

It is better to give alms than to treasure up gold. 

Almsgiving preserves from death; it purifies from all sin. 

Those people who give alms and act justly will have a long life, 

but sinners only harm themselves. 

---- mine,

During this Lenten season, this is a good reminder to keep always before you. Nothing pleases Me more than generous giving with open hands, open heart, and a loving and generous spirit. Give as you have been given freely, without pausing to think of yourself, give as the Lord has given you. The Lord loves a generous giver. Freely you have received freely give. Do not worry about whether or not you will have enough for yourself tomorrow, give what you have today to someone whose need is greater than your own, and the needs of tomorrow will be taken care of. Give with faith, without hope of reward. Give in secret for all you do in secret is seen by My Father in Heaven and He will reward you. Almsgiving like love covers a multitude of sins. Accompany prayer with fasting. It is good to give up the legitimate pleasures your body delights in, and you will learn to discipline yourself in other areas in your life. Gain mastery over your tongue in speech, eating and drinking, and you will have mastery over your other sinful inclinations. Ask and the Holy Spirit will give you all the help and grace you need to live a holy life. Have no fear about anything, ---- my own, but continue to pray, praise, give thanks, and worship Me constantly, meditating on the price that the love of God paid for your redemption.

ISAIAH 58:9-11 (2025)

ISAIAH 58:9-11

Then you shall call, and the Lord will answer;
you shall cry for help, and he will say, Here I am.
If you remove the yoke from among you,
the pointing of the finger, the speaking of evil,
if you offer your food to the hungry
and satisfy the needs of the afflicted,
then your light shall rise in the darkness
and your gloom be like the noonday.

The Lord will guide you continually,
and satisfy your needs in parched places,
and make your bones strong;
and you shall be like a watered garden,
like a spring of water,
whose waters never fail.

---- mine,

You know the Way walk in it. You know the Truth, live it. If you desire Life in its abundance, keep My commandments. Do not weary of doing good. Do not grow tired of serving with love and humility. Be available, be prompt in answering every call to serve and do so with kindness and gentleness. Give, share, and do so cheerfully without grumbling. Do no hold back, do not clench your fist, and do not close your heart to the cries of those around you who are in need. Have compassion. Share in the sorrows of others, help them carry their burdens. Listen to their troubles and offer what help you can, even if all you can do is listen and do so with empathy. Have no fear for your needs, for if you are generous, kind, compassionate, gentle and sincere, you will never run out of anything you need to live. Give and it will receive in good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over for I will withhold no good thing to those who walk in My ways.  Do not doubt, but believe, and all that you ask for in faith will be given to you.

PSALM 34:10B (2025)

PSALM 34:10B

The young lions suffer want and hunger,

but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.

---- mine,

Ask, seek, find - no good thing is withheld from those who truly seek Me, seek to discern My will and do it no matter what sacrifice it involves. When those who understand their nothingness before God, plead before Me night and day for help without which they will surely perish, I will hear and grant all that is needful and they will be comforted, and satisfied. From My Heart flows unending streams of grace and from My open Hands you receive every good and perfect gift of the Holy Spirit. Confess that without Me you can do nothing, Come to Me as a child and ask for all you need with confidence, and I will supply you with every good and perfect gift. What do you ask for this Lent, ---- my own? What is the deepest need of your soul? Ask and I will give you the Kingdom of God for your inheritance. Learn from Me I AM meek and humble of heart. Imitate Me, follow Me and you will share in the glory, victory and power of My Resurrection. But first, you must walk with Me the way of sorrow in this valley of tears, but be of good cheer for you will not walk alone. I will accompany you, My Mother will accompany you, your Guardian Angel will accompany you and so will all the angels and saints. Resolve to keep your gaze fixed on Me at all times and follow Me and you will receive life in abundance.

SIRACH 24:19-21 (2025)

SIRACH 24:19-21

‘Come to me, you who desire me,

and eat your fill of my fruits.
For the memory of me is sweeter than honey,
and the possession of me sweeter than the honeycomb.
Those who eat of me will hunger for more,
and those who drink of me will thirst for more.

---- mine,

Come to Me, eat My Flesh, drink My Blood, feast on My Word, drink deep from the fountain of life giving water that flows from my pierced side, from My Sacred Heart. The more you eat and drink of Me the greater will be your hunger and thirst for My goodness and love. You will always desire more and you will receive it for there is no end to the sweetness, goodness, mercy and love that flows from My pierced side and wounded Heart. Come to Me, ---- my own, be refreshed, renewed, restored, so you can return to the world and your life ready once again to face every battle. In all your trials, sufferings, and sorrow which is the lot of all flesh you will be armed with grace, filled with My love, strengthened and nourished by the Bread of Life and the Cup of Salvation, and you will possess all you need to battle victoriously against the Enemy. But always remember with Me you can do all things, apart from Me nothing. Remain in Me, remain in My Love and your heart will rejoice and be glad. Never forget that no matter how hard the way, how narrow the road, how heavy the cross, how painful the crown of suffering, you are never alone. I AM yoked to you, I gladly bear your burdens and with Me you will be victorious. Be of good cheer, I have conquered the world.

ZEPHANIAH 3:14-20 (2025)

 ZEPHANIAH 3:14-20 

14 Cry out with joy, O daughter of Zion; rejoice, O people of Israel! Sing joyfully with all your heart, daughter of Jerusalem!  15 Yahweh has lifted your sentence and has driven your enemies away. Yahweh, the King of Israel is with you; do not fear any misfortune.  16 On that day, they will say to Jerusalem: Do not be afraid nor let your hands tremble, 17 for Yahweh your God is within you, Yahweh, saving warrior. He will jump for joy on seeing you, for he has revived his love. For you he will cry out with joy, as you do in the days of the feast.

18 I will drive away the evil I warned you about, and you will no longer be shamed. 19 On that day, I will face your oppressors; I will save the lame sheep and bring the lost back into the fold. I will give them renown and honor in all the lands where humiliation was your lot. 20 On that day, I will be good to you; and gather you, to make you famous and honorable, among all the peoples of the earth, when I bring back the captives before your eyes,—this is Yahweh’s word.

---- mine,

I have seen your tears, I have heard your sighs, I have heard you call Me in the silent watches of the night and all through your waking hours. I have heard, ---- my own, and I will answer. I Am the Lord your God. I Am your healer, comforter, redeemer, beloved, brother, friend, and above all, I Am espoused to you. Fear nothing but continue to lean on Me, and to tell Me all your troubles. Cling to Me and allow Me to comfort you. I desire nothing more passionately than the salvation of all those for whom I laid down My life. Do not be sad, do not let anxiety weigh you down. Remember all My assurances and your heart will rejoice when you see the mighty hand of God work in the lives of all those whom you love. You cannot love them more than I do. I assure you that I will save and there will be great rejoicing and gladness, singing and dancing on the day when all that I have assured you I will do comes to pass. Be of good cheer, wait patiently for at a time of my choosing every one of My promises will come to pass and you will be amazed at the faithfulness of God who always keeps His Word. Trust Me, remain in Me, rely on Me, and never be parted from Me.  Nothing delights Me more than to grant all who are Mine all they need to thrive in every way and lead them safely to My Kingdom.

ISAIAH 63:1 (2025)

ISAIAH 63:1

‘Who is this that comes from Edom,
from Bozrah in garments stained crimson?
Who is this so splendidly robed,
marching in his great might?’
‘It is I, announcing vindication,
mighty to save.’

---- mine,

Look at Me! Raise your eyes to Me and contemplate the power of the Sacrifice of the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world and most importantly your sins. I AM a God who is mighty and victorious through the power of My saving Blood. Look at Me, a Man of sorrows and familiar with sorrow. Not just a Man but the Son of Man and the Son of God who came into the world to bear the sins of many and bring freedom, redemption, and victory over the children of Adam and Eve who were ensnared by the flesh. Look at Me! I ride the dawn and with Me I bring armies,  a host of angels, to purge the world of all unrighteousness. Here I come bringing freedom from chains and vengeance on those who have persecuted the children of God. Vengeance is Mine, I will repay your enemies. Keep your gaze on the Man robed in the Crimson garments of My tattered flesh and through the power of My wounds and My stripes I will bring healing and you will rejoice for your vindication is at hand. No sigh, no tear, no prayer, escapes Me I see, I hear and I will answer and you and all those for whom you plead for salvation will be saved. I came not to condemn the world but to redeem it by the power of the Cross and the Blood of the Lamb. I have redeemed the world.

SONG OF SONGS 5:16 (2025)

SONG OF SONGS 5:16

His speech is most sweet,
and he is altogether desirable.
This is my beloved and this is my friend,
O daughters of Jerusalem.

---- mine,

In Me, you will find all that is needful for this life to prepare you for the life to come. I AM the Eternal Word of My Father, I AM the Incarnate Word of My Father, through Me in the power of the Holy Spirit all that God desires to say is said. In Me you will find the fullness of God's Truth, Wisdom, Beauty, Goodness, Power and above all Love.

I AM God from God, Light from Light true God from true God, in Me, ---- my own, you will find that the Word of God is sweet and a delight sweeter than honey. It is food and drink, and in Me you will find all that is delightful, tender, compassionate, merciful, and loving. God desires that in and through Me all creation come to know Him and to receive from Me the fullness of His love. Do not take your gaze away from Me but remain in Me and my love.  Remain one in Me, with My Father, and you will possess the Holy Spirit who will lead you from darkness to eternal light. Have no fear except fear of sin. Sin separates, sin kills, but do not despair, no matter how gravely you sin return to Me with a contrite heart and a humble spirit, and I will remove all your offences and cast them behind My back never to remember them anymore. Fear nothing, ---- my own, except eternal separation from the God of love who lay down His Life that you may live. Remain in My love.

ISAIAH 40:27-31 (2025)

ISAIAH 40:27-31

Why do you say, O Jacob,    and speak, O Israel, ‘My way is hidden from the Lord,    and my right is disregarded by my God’? Have you not known? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God,    the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary;    his understanding is unsearchable.

He gives power to the faint,    and strengthens the powerless. Even youths will faint and be weary,    and the young will fall exhausted; but those who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength,    they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary,    they shall walk and not faint.

---- mine,

Nothing is hidden from Me, nothing is unknown to Me. I AM God and I AM always aware of everything, even the number of hairs on your head and the little sparrow that falls to the ground. Not a single event is too small or big for Me to take note of and care about. I have not created anything that is beneath My notice or interest. How much more, ---- my own, do I care about you. I keep a watchful gaze on you and there is never a moment when I turn My eyes away from you and from those you love. I know all, I see all and pay attention to every little detail. Trust Me and be confident that in the end, you and your loved ones will be victorious and triumph. You must continue to pray, to hope with faith and confidence and have nothing to do with worry, fear and anxiety for these have no place in the heart and mind of those who know they belong to Me. And know that I AM with you and your loved ones always, even until the end of your days and to eternity.

ISAIAH 48:17, 21 (2025)

ISAIAH 48:17, 21

Thus says the Lord,
your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel:
I am the Lord your God,
who teaches you for your own good,
who leads you in the way you should go.

They did not thirst when he led them through the deserts;
he made water flow for them from the rock;
he split open the rock and the water gushed out.

---- mine,

Pay close attention to what I the Lord, your God, your Redeemer, your Savior, your Messiah, the Beloved of your soul, say to you this day - listen, understand, and take comfort in My Word, My promises, My assurance to you today and every day. I AM God and I have taken you by your hand and I lead you in paths that are level and smooth and when the terrain grows narrow, difficult, and rough I will carry you. I have yoked Myself to you, I hold you fast so you will neither stumble nor fall and even if you should I will be right beside you to bind your wounds, to heal and refresh you, to comfort and wipe away your tears. I will allay all your fears because you are Mine. I have washed you clean and I have fed you with My Flesh. I have taken away all your sins and have flung them far behind My back. As far as the east is from the west so have I cast your sins away from Me and I no longer remember them. Come to Me, rest in Me, make your home in Me, never leave Me. Be Mine as I AM yours in time and in eternity. No harm will come to those who nestle on My bosom as did the beloved disciple, My Sacred Heart is home to every disciple who comes to Me with a childlike heart and a humble spirit. Abide in Me and I will abide in you. Filled with My Spirit you will have life in all its abundance.

SIRACH 6:32-33, 37 (2025)

SIRACH 6:32-33, 37

If you are willing, my child, you can be disciplined,
and if you apply yourself you will become clever.

If you love to listen you will gain knowledge,
and if you pay attention you will become wise.

Reflect on the statutes of the Lord,
and meditate at all times on his commandments.
It is he who will give insight to your mind,
and your desire for wisdom will be granted.

---- mine,

Wisdom is unattainable for fools, those caught up in worldly affairs, who lack self-will self-mastery, and self-control. Those who are easily dissipated, those with a short attention span, those who actively seek a life of ease, and those who indulge every appetite as soon as they desire it. These will not inherit the Kingdom of God. For the Kingdom of God is righteousness, goodness, and self-control, and from these flow goodness, peace, peace, joy, and quiet contentment in the will of God and in pursuing the things that lift the heart, mind, soul, and spirit to God. Ask for the gift of being still, quieting your senses, emptying yourself of all distractions and restless yearnings of the flesh. Be still and listen. Ask and you will receive everything you ask for in prayer for God delights in pouring His gifts to all who ask with sincerity, with fervor, and without tiring. Wisdom is given to those who truly desire it and having received this gift they will treasure it and ponder it until it becomes a way of life. Ask, seek, knock, and all you ask for will be given to you in abundance, shaken together and overflowing for God delights in giving every good and perfect gift to those who ask sincerely.

MARK 6:56 (2025)

MARK 6:56

And wherever he went, into villages or cities or farms, they laid the sick in the market-places, and begged him that they might touch even the fringe of his cloak; and all who touched it were healed.

---- mine,

Come to Me. Touch Me, even the hem of My Garment. Clothe yourself with My Spirit, allow My grace to imbue your soul, and fear nothing fear and worry are useless they weaken you and fill you with anxiety. Rather, have confidence in My love, have faith in My Word. Let My Word nourish you, increase your faith, hope, and above all your love for Me, and extend the love I have put into your heart to everyone you encounter daily. Be still and know that I AM God there is no other. Run to Me with all your troubles nothing pleases Me more than childlike confidence, simplicity, and trust in Me. I have loved you with a love that is beyond measure and I desire that you seek Me in all that you experience in life - the good, the bad, the perplexing, the painful, the mysterious, the sorrowful. When you weep, weep in My arms, when you laugh lift your gaze to Me and bless Me, when you are sick rest in Me and let My healing love and power enfold you, when you are afraid run to Me and tell Me all your fears. Live in Me so I may live in you and you will experience the love of God, the power of God, and the presence of God alive in you. Have no fear about anything, ---- my own, for I have overcome the world, the flesh, and the dev.l Victory is Mine and this victory I share with all who are Mine.

SIRACH 34:19-20 (2025)

SIRACH 34:19-20

The eyes of the Lord are on those who love him,
a mighty shield and strong support,
a shelter from scorching wind and a shade from noonday sun,
a guard against stumbling and a help against falling.

He lifts up the soul and makes the eyes sparkle;
he gives health and life and blessing.

---- mine,

Never for an instant do I take My eyes off of you, if I did you would perish. I love you with an everlasting love, you are Mine in time and in eternity. Fear nothing, ---- my own, except sin and most especially grave sin. Keep your eye from looking at anything that will cause you to stumble, guard your thoughts against any thought that lacks charity, keep your hands busy, guard your lips against idle talk, gossip, and keep your feet from wandering on paths that would lead you astray. Rather let your mind be filled with thoughts of Me, My Father, the Holy Spirit, My Mother St. Joseph, and all the holy angels and saints. Let your lips speak only words of love kindness compassion tenderness and mercy Do not let your hands be idle, guard your steps and let them lead you to Me. Remain with Me and in Me. Have no fear about anything and confide everything to Me, allow Me to guide and direct your way in the way of Truth, Goodness, and Beauty. Abide in Me and I will abide in you, I will give you life in abundance and you will lack no good thing.

ISAIAH 46:3-4 (2025)

ISAIAH 46:3-4

Hear me, O people of Jacob,

and all who remain of Israel,

whom I have cared for since you were

conceived, and carried since you were born.

Even to your old age, I am he

and I will sustain you

even when your hair turns gray.

It is I who have done this,

and who bear the burdens,

I will sustain and save you.

---- mine,

Never doubt for a moment that you belong to Me and not just you but all who are called by My Name and all for whom you pray. I desire that every man, woman, and child, lives I do not desire the death of the sinner. I came to give life and life in abundance to all who desire it, all who call My Name, all whom the Father has given Me. Which father, having received the gift of a child will not care for,  nurture, and help raise it, watch it lovingly and tenderly as it thrives and grows? Is not My Father your Father? Am I not your older Brother? Do you not belong to Me as a Member of My Body? Are you not My Spouse? Have I not betrothed you to Me?  How then can I forget you? How can My Heart not be moved when you call My Name incessantly, pitifully with sighs and tears? Am I not a God of pity and compassion? Does not My Heart overflow with love for you? Why then are you anxious about the salvation of those you love. I tell you I have heard and answered and they will be saved. Pray with faith, surrender, and do not worry, nothing is too difficult for Me.

PSALM 105:41 (2025)

PSALM 105:41

He opened the rock, and water gushed out;
it flowed through the desert like a river.

---- mine,

When Moses who is a foreshadowing of Me struck the rock at Meribah at God's command out gushed water in the wilderness quenching the thirst of the people of God. When the Son of God and the Son of Man was struck while hanging on the Cross and the soldier's lance opened My side, out gushed life-giving water mixed with My Sacred Blood to cleanse the sins of all God's people and provide them with streams of life-giving streams of water that well up to eternal life. Peter, the Head of the Apostles, represents Me as the Head of the Church, I chose him and appointed him to be the Rock on whom I have built My Church. This is My Church, one, holy, catholic, and apostolic she is built on the Word of God breathed forth by My Father through the Holy Spirit and in this Word is contained all that God wills and desires. From this fullness, the Church and all her members receive all that is needful to live a life of grace, beauty, goodness, and truth. She is My Bride, the City of God, the Light on the Hill drawing the world's sick, tired, weary, lonely, poor, and hungry to come to her bosom and be nourished by her. She is the source of all life and grace and it is the will of My Father that all come to Him through Me, the Head. All who are united to Me as Members of My Body will be nourished by My Spirit and they, in turn, will be fruitful and will live forever. Remain in Me and I will remain in you and you will live. Pray, hope, and be anxious about nothing for worry is useless, rather pray with faith, surrender, and I will grant you all you ask for in faith according to My will. 

MICAH 7:18-19 (2025)

MICAH 7:18-19

Who is a God like you, pardoning iniquity
and passing over the transgression
of the remnant of your possession?
He does not retain his anger for ever,
because he delights in showing clemency.

He will again have compassion upon us;
he will tread our iniquities under foot.
You will cast all our sins
into the depths of the sea.

---- mine,

Yes, I AM God whose heart is always moved to pity and compassion gladly granting mercy to sinners. I know how difficult it is not to elude temptations that abound in the world. Unless a soul clings to Me with childlike simplicity and confidence and looks to Me to provide all it needs, it is impossible to hold on to virtue. It takes discipline, self-control, and self-sacrificial love to guide and direct your steps in the path of life, truth, virtue, and grace. Too often a soul lacking in understanding and ignorant of the love of God, the Word of God, and the will of God, will listen and give in to the siren call of the world, the flesh, and the devil. I AM aware of the frailty of the human will that has not put down roots in the Holy Spirit and this is why ---- my own, I will come to the help of those for whose salvation you plead for constantly. Know this, that I, even more fiercely than you, do not desire the death of the sinner but that all sinners live and be saved, this is why I assure you that your prayers will be answered. Continue to pray, to hope, and do not worry, worry accomplishes nothing but brings anxiety and fear and these have no place in the hearts of those who love Me trust Me, and find their rest in Me. Pray with faith, hope, and confidence and I will most surely cast all their sins into the depths of the ocean never to remember them again.

ESTHER 5:6 & 7:2 (2025)

ESTHER 5:6 & 7:2

While they were drinking wine, the king said to Esther, ‘What is your petition? It shall be granted you. And what is your request? Even to the half of my kingdom, it shall be fulfilled.’

On the second day, as they were drinking wine, the king again said to Esther, ‘What is your petition, Queen Esther? It shall be granted you. And what is your request? Even to the half of my kingdom, it shall be fulfilled.’

---- mine,

I will drink with you new wine the kind of wine which the master of the feast at the wedding at Cana exclaimed, “Everyone serves the good wine first, and when people have drunk freely, then the poor wine. But you have kept the good wine until now.”  You will drink of its abundance and it will never run out. This new wine is the wine of joy that the Bridegroom provides for His bride, for His little one, whom I pursue tenderly, lovingly compassionately, and relentlessly It is of this wine that you will drink eternally in the Kingdom of God. This wine represents new and eternal life with Me, My Father, the Holy Spirit, and  My Mother with Joseph and all the holy angels and saints. I will pour My blessing on you and your family and I will answer all your prayers, I will grant you all the desires of your heart for they are what I desire as well for you and for your loved ones. Even to the half of My Kingdom, ---- my own, I give you for this too is yours for I delight in heaping the treasures of the Kingdom on you. Nothing delights Me more than to adorn your soul with virtues and graces. Do not tire of asking; I will supply your every need according to My riches in glory.

SIRACH 24:19-22 (2025)

SIRACH 24:19-22

‘Come to me, you who desire me,
and eat your fill of my fruits.
For the memory of me is sweeter than honey,
and the possession of me sweeter than the honeycomb.
Those who eat of me will hunger for more,
and those who drink of me will thirst for more.
Whoever obeys me will not be put to shame,
and those who work with me will not sin.’

---- mine,

This is My open invitation to those attuned to the sound of My voice and you will hear Me say ceaselessly, Come to Me all your who are hungry, come and drink of Me all you who are thirsty. Come and be filled with the abundance of every joy grace and blessing that I desire to pour into your soul. Let My Spirit animate you and guide your steps in the way you ought to go. Eat Me and drink Me and be strengthened. Fed by Me you will never grow weary but will always be ready and willing to go wherever I send you filled with joy, with courage, eager to do all I ask of you. Those who desire Me will find Me, those who ask will receive.  Those who approach Me with childlike confidence will never be disappointed. Here I AM night and day longing for you to receive all I have to give. I will open your eyes so you may see, I will open your ears so you may hear, show Me all your wounds so I can touch and heal every one of them. Let me touch your lips and loosen your tongue so you will tell the whole world how good the Lord has been to you how He has had pity and compassion for you, how the Lord loves you and delights in you and desires never to be parted from you so others too may desire what I have given you. Be Mine, ---- my own, be Mine. Come to Me, rest in Me, delight in Me with the same burning desire that I have to rest in you, delight in you, and possess you.

MICAH 7:7 (2025)

MICAH 7:7

But as for me, I will look to the Lord,
I will wait for the God of my salvation;
my God will hear me.

---- mine,

I hear you, I always hear you, and hearing I answer. There is never a sigh, a moan, a whisper, a silent plea rising from your heart or your lips that escapes Me for my ears are pressed against your lips. I AM God and I love with you an everlasting and infinite love. Fear nothing, ---- my own, and when you pray, knock, and seek Me, do so with confidence, faith, and hope, knowing that I delight in your trust in Me. Come to Me and bring all your troubles to Me, tell Me everything your fears, your anxieties, your regrets your frailties lay them all on My shoulders. I will help you carry your burden, I will yoke Myself to you and you will find the burden easy, the load light. Remain in Me and in My love and My Spirit will direct and guide you safely through this valley of tears to the place of rest in Me. Every prayer and every petition will be answered according to the riches of My mercy and love. Remain in My love and let My peace flood your soul. Never forget who I AM and that nothing is too difficult for Me.

HOSEA 2:14, 19-20 (2025)

HOSEA 2:14, 19-20

Therefore, I will now persuade her,
and bring her into the wilderness,
and speak tenderly to her. 

And I will take you for my wife for ever; 

I will take you for my wife in righteousness and in justice, 

in steadfast love, and in mercy. 

I will take you for my wife in faithfulness; 

and you shall know the Lord.

---- mine,

Never doubt for a moment the tenderness of My love for you. I love you as passionately as a bridegroom loves His bride. I desire to make you Mine not just in time but eternally. I desire to shower you with every grace and blessing. I want to adorn your soul with virtue and righteousness. I desire you to know that My love for you is steadfast it is the same yesterday today and always. My mercy is yours to command all you need to do is ask and I will give you all your heart desires. Am I Not Your Lord and Your God? Am I not the Bridegroom of your soul? Are you not espoused to Me forever? I love you with a love beyond anything you can fathom I emptied Myself so you may live and not just you but everyone for whom you cry out to Me night and day. Be still and know that I AM God and I keep My promises. Do not be anxious about anything, ---- my own, but in all circumstances with praise and thanksgiving praise God and trust Me when I say to you in the end all will be well.

SONG OF SONGS 2:14 (2025)

SONG OF SONGS 2:14

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,

I always found time to get away from everyone and go by myself to a lonely place, to the hills, to be alone with My Father I needed that time with Him to just rest in Him and surrender My whole being to His love. My days were spent with people making demands of Me, clamoring for My attention, reaching out to touch Me demanding miracles, and hungry to hear Me teach, preach, and bless. It was draining spiritually, emotionally, and physically and by the end of each long tiring day I did not even want food all I longed to do was to run to My Father's waiting arms, lean into His love, and be one with Him. Spending time with My Father was more important to Me than food and drink. You too need to get away from the world and spend time alone with Me. I woo you always to leave the world and all its demands behind and come away with Me to a solitary place where you can lean on My breast. We can speak heart to heart or be silent while I bathe your soul in My love and refresh and renew you. We don't need words for I know all that is in your heart. Come away with Me often and I will comfort you, strengthen you, bless you, fill you with peace, and give you all you need to return to the world and shine My Light in a dark and sinful world. Come away often during the day, enter the tabernacle of your soul and there you will always find Me waiting eagerly for you.

SIRACH 24:19-22 (2025)

SIRACH 24:19-22

‘Come to me, you who desire me,
and eat your fill of my fruits.
For the memory of me is sweeter than honey,
and the possession of me sweeter than the honeycomb.
Those who eat of me will hunger for more,
and those who drink of me will thirst for more.
Whoever obeys me will not be put to shame,
and those who work with me will not sin.’

---- mine,

I pour out My Holy Spirit on all who hunger and thirst for Wisdom. Without Wisdom it is impossible to know Me, love, Me, worship Me, and give thanks with right knowledge and understanding of what it means to be loved by God so wholly and infinitely that I emptied Myself completely to take on Flesh and become like you. Wisdom is My Gift to all who desire to walk in the Way of goodness, beauty, and truth. If you have Wisdom you will choose what is right over what is expedient, to choose to be good and do good even when it is difficult and will cost you, to show mercy and compassion to all, especially to those weaker than yourself. To be humble and obedient putting the needs of others over your own and to have a childlike simplicity for it is the little ones that I gather around Me, put on my knee, and press against My Heart. It is only the little ones who can truly grasp their unworthiness  Love God and trust Me as a child trusts its parents and I will carry you every step of the way from this life to the life that awaits you in eternity.

MATTHEW 24:42, 44 (2025)

MATTHEW 24:42, 44

42 Stay awake then, for you do not know on what day your Lord will come.

44 So be alert, for the Son of Man will come at the hour you least expect.

---- mine,

Half the world is asleep, a few are awake and alert, and a great many are so caught up with the things of the world they have lost sight of this truth, the world and everything in it is passing. Do not belong to those who have lost sight of the ultimate goal. The time is short and before you know it you will stand before Me and be judged by Me. Prepare for that hour while it is still today. Pray but do not pray as one who has no hope rather pray with faith, trust, and confidence in My Word and My love. because you know Me and you know that you belong to Me. It is all too easy to get caught up in the terrible noise and the distractions that take possession of your thoughts until you allow most of your waking hours to become consumed by things that have no bearing on your salvation or the salvation of your loved ones and the world. What matters is that you live the Gospel and preach the Gospel. In this is life and fullness of life. Keep your gaze on the goal and do not permit the devil to distract you. Your goal is heaven and eternity and you are called to bring as many as God has planned for you to bring with you. Keep your feet on earth but your eyes on the prize which is eternal life in the Kingdom of God.

PSALM 138:3 (2025)

PSALM 138:3

On the day I called, you answered me, 

you increased my strength of soul.

---- mine,

I hear you, I always hear and answer you because I love you. I hear every sigh, I see every tear and I collect each in My Heart. When you weep, when your heart is crushed with sorrow, when the weight of the world crushes you, when anxiety and fear are your constant companions, I AM with you. I help you carry your cross for I AM yoked to you. Turn to Me for I am beside you and not just beside you but in you. I have made my home in your heart and I AM bound to you with cords of love that cannot be broken. Where I AM you will always be and where you are I AM. Be not afraid about anything for perfect love casts out fear and I love you with an everlasting infinite love. Be alert and watch out with expectant faith and joy for showers of blessing that are about to fall on you and those dearest, nearest, and closest to your heart, and praise your God who neither sleeps nor slumbers.

SIRACH 34:16-17 (2025)

SIRACH 34:16-17

16 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.
17 He lifts up the soul and gives a sparkle to the eyes;
he gives healing, life and blessing.

---- mine,

Take heart and do not give in to negative thoughts, despondency, anxiety, and fear lest they find a home in your soul. Know that I, the Lord your God, have called you by name I have called those you love by name, I have broken the shackles of original sin and made you and yours, members of the family of God. All have strayed, ---- my own, you too have strayed often during your pilgrim journey but I came in search of you, pursued you, wooed you, and sought you even when you stubbornly hid from Me and I will do the same for your loved ones. Not one of those whom My Father has given Me will be lost and that includes those washed in My Blood. No power can wrest from My hands those that I have counted as sheep among My flock. I will lead all my sheep to cool green pastures where they will rest and find shelter under My wings and in My Sacred Heart. As for you continue to pray earnestly and I will hear your prayers, I will answer you and I will seek, rescue, lead, and carry all those you love and pray for home to Myself. 

WISDOM 15:2 (2025)

WISDOM 15:2

For even if we sin we are yours, knowing your power;
but we will not sin, because we know that you acknowledge us as yours.

---- mine,

All have sinned and anyone who claims to have not is a liar. You too sin and all the time you know it and I know it. You fall short of My glory many times a day for you are a child born in original sin. I know how frail you are, how weak, how easy it is for you to take the easy route, the comfortable way. I know that you lack discipline and given a choice would choose a life of ease. Yet I also know the desires of your heart. You know that you now belong to the family of God, you want to walk on the side of the angels and the saints and you also know that without My help you will fail miserably. This is why I look at you with great tenderness, pity, and compassion and I walk with you. I have put My own Spirit in you. I make available infinite grace in the Sacraments I instituted. In the Sacrament of Reconciliation, no matter how badly you fall short, how gravely you have sinned, and no matter how often, when you approach the Throne of My Mercy which is My Sacred Heart with a contrite heart and a repentant spirit, with a firm resolve to sin no more, I will welcome you, I will wash away all your sins, I will restore your soul to its former beauty and purity and I will always forgive. Do not lose heart. Have courage. Be of good cheer ----- my own, too great a price was paid for your salvation for Me or My Father to turn away from you. I will always forgive because you are Mine irrevocably in time and in eternity.
