SIRACH 34:16-17 (2025)

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,

Believe in Me, believe all My promises. Keep the faith even when it seems hardest and when nothing is going your way. Reflect. Remember past blessings and give thanks; let the numerous times when your prayers have been answered strengthen your faith, hope, and trust in Me. Recall and hold fast to the memories of all the blessings with which I have blessed you and those for whom you prayed ceaselessly. I AM the same God yesterday, today, and forever. Those who are Mine are under My protection. My love is a canopy that shelters them from the wiles of the Enemy. Fear nothing,---- my own, except eternal separation from Me. Remain in My love. Do nothing that would separate you from Me. Pray constantly with hope.  Keep your hand firmly in My own, and I will keep you from stumbling and falling. Allow My Life to course through you by partaking often of My Body and Blood, and go to the Sacrament of Confession often, ensuring that you are free from sin. No matter how far you fall, you can begin anew, and strengthened by My help and by My Body, and with the help of the Holy Spirit, you can do all things. Remain in My love and trust Me. I love you and I will never leave you or forsake you, for  I have claimed you for Myself in time and in eternity. Remain in My Love.

JEREMIAH 24:7 (2025)

JEREMIAH 24:7

I will give them a heart to know that I am the Lord; 
and they shall be my people and I will be their God, 
for they shall return to me with their whole heart.

---- mine,

I have heard your prayers, your pleadings, your pleas that are always on your lips and in your heart. I desire to give you all that you have prayed for because this is the desire of My Heart as well. I desire not the death of the sinner, but that all be saved and come to the knowledge of the Truth as revealed by My Father in Heaven. This is why He sent Me into the world, not to condemn the sinner but to save all. I, in turn, sent the Holy Spirit, for no one can be holy or be perfect on the power of their own strength and will, but the Holy Spirit makes all possible. He is the Paraclete, the Helper. He is the Divine Lover, for He is the Love between My Father and I, and it is He who draws into My Sacred Heart, all who desire to belong to Me, making you one with Me as I AM one with My Father. Fear not, ---- my own, Your prayers for the conversion of all your family members have been heard on High and at a time of My choosing the hour will arrive for every one of them to bend their knee and confess to the glory of God My Father and yours, that I AM Lord and there is no other. Be of good cheer, I have conquered the world. Continue to pray, to fast, and give alms, for these are pleasing to Me and purify your soul. Give gladly, pray with faith, and when you fast, let the praise of God fill your whole being as I fill you with My Life and My Presence, I AM God, there is no other, and I love you.

LUKE 12:6-7 (2025)

LUKE 12:6-7

Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? 
Yet not one of them is forgotten in God's sight. 
But even the hairs of your head are all counted. 
Do not be afraid; you are of more value than many sparrows.

---- mine,

You are precious, you have been bought at a price that cost the Son of God His life and every drop of My Blood. You are precious in the sight of God because My Father in heaven considered you worth the life, passion, and death that I endured for your redemption. I rescued you from the jaws of death and hell and eternal separation from the Source of all Life, goodness, beauty, holiness, and truth. Never for a moment consider yourself less than you are in the sight of My Father. It is My Father who created you, it is He who, at the moment of your conception, gave you an immortal soul, so even though your body would perish in death, your soul would live eternally. So determined was the Father to ensure that you would be with Him in His Kingdom that after the fall of the first man and woman, He made way for their descendants to be redeemed and restored. Having claimed you for Himself through the Sacrifice of My Life on the Cross at Golgotha, He went further and desired that you should have the Spirit of God descend on you and help you to make the difficult journey on the narrow way to His Kingdom. So do not consider yourself forgotten by God. The Father and I have loved with you a love that is beyond all telling. You are the apple of His Eye and precious in His sight. You are more precious than many sparrows. You are known intimately. You are known completely. You are loved passionately, infinitely, and wholeheartedly. Remember that I abide in you and will remain in you until I can welcome you at last to take the place prepared for you by My Father since He created the heavens. Keep your gaze fixed on the prize and have no fear, for in love, there can be no place for fear. Let God's love for you rule your life, submit your whole being to Me, and permit Me to have supreme reign over you.

ISAIAH 62:4-5 (2025)

ISAIAH 62:4-5

No longer will you be named Forsaken; no longer will your land be called Abandoned; but you will be called My Delight and your land Espoused. For the Lord delights in you and will make your land his spouse. As a young man marries a virgin, so will your builder marry you; and as a bridegroom rejoices in his bride, so will your God rejoice in you.

---- mine,

While the prophet speaks of God's covenant people and the land He gave them, I speak these words to you. For a very long time now, you have experienced sorrow, heartache, anxiety, and loss. Day after day, you bring before Me your prayers to restore what was lost by those of your flesh who have sinned through a lack of discipline, a lack of prayer, self-indulgence leading to living immoral lives. Smothering conscience, losing sight of all that was taught to them in their childhood and youth, until all control was lost and the spiritual rot set in. Breaking the spirit and allowing evil to enter and reside. The punishment was brought about by vanity, pride, and self-indulgence with no boundaries, and the whole body was broken. You watched the slow decay and destruction, and you stood by helpless, afraid of the worst but never giving in to complete despair. You came to Me, threw yourself on My mercy, and begged Me for help, strength, and restitution, even while your heart was filled with fear that perhaps all was lost. But you forgot that I punish only to bring about healing, repentance, contrition, forgiveness, and pardon. I heard your prayer, I wiped your tears. My heart broke even as yours was broken. But I had to apply the remedy, painful as it was. I had to strip away, cleanse thoroughly through suffering, before putting together again. No longer will either you or your loved ones be considered Forsaken. Never will you feel abandoned. I delight in you, I have made a covenant with you which will never be broken, nor will I forget that you are espoused to Me. Fear not, ---- my own, all I have said I will do. They will return, and not only you but heaven will rejoice at their return to the Father's house.

2 CHRONICLES 6:17-21 (2025)

2 CHRONICLES 6:17-21

Therefore, O Lord, God of Israel, let your word be confirmed, which you promised to your servant David. “But will God indeed reside with mortals on earth? Even heaven and the highest heaven cannot contain you, how much less this house that I have built! Regard your servant’s prayer and his plea, O Lord my God, heeding the cry and the prayer that your servant prays to you. May your eyes be open day and night toward this house, the place where you promised to set your name, and may you heed the prayer that your servant prays toward this place.  And hear the plea of your servant and of your people Israel, when they pray toward this place; may you hear from heaven your dwelling place; hear and forgive.

---- mine,

Samuel prayed after building a beautiful temple to God, the Almighty, Creator of all and Supreme Ruler of the heavens and the earth, fulfilling the promise his father, David, had made. But God prefers to make His temple in human hearts. Is your heart, ---- my own, a fitting residence for Me, for the Holy Spirit, and for My Father? It is indeed our delight to dwell not only among you but to reside in fullness in the Church, My Body. Just as the Word of God by the power of the Holy Spirit descended into the womb of My Virgin Mother and tabernacled in her womb, making her the New Ark of the Covenant, so too do I make My home in the Church all over the world. From the most beautiful cathedrals to the most humble and rough chapels everywhere in the four corners of the globe, I come down from heaven and at the words uttered by the priest, and in his hands I honor My Covenant and I AM present on every altar in fullness, body, soul, and divinity. Nothing delights Me more than to forgive sins and make every member of My Body worthy to receive My Body and My Blood. For a while, I am united in an intimacy closer than any human closeness is possible, and in this spiritual embrace, more intimate than the human marital embrace, I and my beloved are one. So few are aware of this and are taken up into the mystical moments when God, bowing low, enters into the human heart. So many receive Me unworthily, indifferently, with neither gratitude nor thanksgiving for the greatest Gift that they will receive this side of heaven. This is the moment when I hear every prayer, so in the most loving and intimate words speak to Me, tell Me everything, and I will hear, I will answer, I will forgive, I will restore, I will make whole in every way that wholeness is needed. Please do not wound My Heart by receiving Me indifferently. I so long for these moments of intimacy with you. So many hearts are selfish, hard, and cold. You receive Me and comfort Me while I AM one with you in the Holy Eucharist. And pray that all who receive Me may become aware of the great treasure that God gives them, for My Father will not spare anyone who receives Me, the Beloved Son of the Living God, with callous indifference,

MATTHEW 7:9-11 (2025)

MATTHEW 7:9-11

Would any of you give a stone to your son, when he asks for bread? 
Or give him a snake, when he asks for a fish? 
However bad you may be, 
you know how to give good things to your children. 
How much more, then, will your Father in heaven 
give good things to those who ask him.

---- mine,

Every day and through the day, you plead with Me to have mercy on those you love who have strayed far from the Way of Truth. Your heart is heavy, you brood all day long, you wonder whether in your lifetime you will see and experience the joy of answered prayer, and they will come home to Me and return to the place in My Body to which they belong. Do not lose heart, ---- my own, continue to pray with confidence, to fast, and to give alms. You keep the commandments faithfully. You live your life in submission to My will every hour of every day, to discern My will for your life, moment by moment, and do it. Live in My Shadow and trust Me in all things. I who brought you out of darkness in My own marvellous light will I not do the same for those you pray for? I love them too with the same love with which I love you. Remember that God, who is Your Father and who is perfect, all knowing, all loving, all powerful, all goodness, all beauty, and all love, is the most perfect of fathers and in His sublime goodness, generosity, and love, He will save all those you pray for. He who is holy and perfect will withhold no good thing that is necessary for salvation from your loved ones. They will return to My fold, and I will be their Shepherd. This is the Father's will and desire that not one of His little ones be lost.

MATTHEW 6:8B (2025)

MATTHEW 6:8B

Your Father knows what you need, even before you ask Him.

---- mine,

Trust Me when I say that even before the desire is born in your heart, the thought is formed in your mind, and the words take shape on your lips, long before you even express them. My Father knows all. He sees all, and understands all, and nothing delights My Father more than to give  His children all their heart's desires because He loves. And should He withhold anything that you plead for, should you not receive it at once, it is because He desires to give you something far better. If you do not receive what your heart longs for when you ask for it, do not be disheartened; the time is not right. When it is, He will surely give you what you ask for and more. Trust in His timing. He knows best. He is the Creator and the Father of all the Living. He designed you. He knows best what you and those you pray for need. He knows what to give you to help you in your spiritual journey. When you pray, keep your gaze fixed on Me. Lift up your eyes and look at Me. Just as Moses raised the bronze serpent high and asked all those who were bitten by the fiery serpent to gaze on it and be healed, so too all who are bitten by the fiery serpent of sin are asked to raise their eyes and gaze on Me in the Eucharist and I will heal all your wounds. All who come to be and gaze on Me will receive complete healing and restoration in every way in heart, mind, soul, body, and spirit. Have no fear, ---- my own. Fear nothing except wounding Me by your sins. I love you with an everlasting love, and all I ask of you is to return My love. Pray constantly for this grace from the Holy Spirit, that the measure of your love for Me increases more and more each day.

MATTHEW 8:7-8, 10, 13-15 (2025)

MATTHEW 8:7-8, 10, 13-15

7 Jesus said to him, “I will come and heal him.” 8 The captain answered, “I am not worthy to have you under my roof. Just give an order and my boy will be healed.

10 When Jesus heard this, he was astonished; and said to those who were following him, “I tell you, I have not found such faith in Israel.

13 Then Jesus said to the Centurion, “Go home now. As you believed, so let it be.” And at that moment, his servant was healed.

14 Jesus went to Peter’s house and found Peter’s mother-in-law in bed with fever. 15 He took her by the hand and the fever left her; she got up and began to wait on him.

---- mine,

Do you have the faith of the Centurion, you who are a cradle Catholic, who have been raised in the faith from your infancy, who have always remained in the arms and bosom of Holy Mother Church, as a member of My Body and as the Bridegroom of your soul? Can you, ---- my own, claim to have the robust conviction of the Centurion who only heard of Me and believed? Make a brief examination of your conscience, go through your memories over the years, confess honestly, in times of uncertainty, when you or your loved ones suffered trials, some of them really difficult. You could only stand by helplessly and watch how it all unfolded. Were you steadfast in faith and hope? Did you wait with a glad heart and a confident spirit, certain that in the end I would work all things for good? Having confided the difficulties to Me did you then rest with tranquility on your trust in Me? Did you believe that, having heard your prayers, I would reward your faith in Me just as I rewarded the Centurion for his faith? I entered Peter's house, was informed that his mother-in-law was in bed with a high fever, I took her hand, raised her up, and the fever left her immediately - what was her response? She got up and began to serve. What about you? How have you responded to all the times I heard and answered your prayers? Have you served? Is your faith still smaller than even the size of a mustard seed? You know how easily you become disturbed, discouraged, and weary of soul and spirit when you and your loved ones experience trials. You lose your calm, peace, and serenity of soul. Ask and you will receive the gifts of a greater, more robust faith, greater patience, and greater confidence in the power of My Word. Remember that on every occasion when your faith has been tested, I have heard and answered your prayers; let the memories of past blessings increase and strengthen your faith. Doubt no longer that I AM God and I always keep My Word. Believe your son will live. Your son will live. Your loved ones will live, and your heart will rejoice and be glad forever.

HOSEA 14:5, 8-9 (2025)

HOSEA 14:5, 8-9

I will heal their disloyalty
and love them with all my heart,
for my anger has turned from them. 6 I shall be like dew to Israel,
like the lily will he blossom.
Like a cedar, he will send down his roots;

They will dwell in my shade again,
they will flourish like the grain,
they will blossom like a vine,
and their fame will be like Lebanon wine.

What would Ephraim do with idols,
when it is I who hear and make him prosper?
I am like an ever-green cypress tree;
all your fruitfulness comes from me.

---- mine,

All that I have said to you repeatedly, day after day, I will do. Have faith and confidence in My Word. I do not desire the death of the sinner, for I came to give life and give it in abundance. There is no prayer, no sigh, no sorrow, no wound, no illness so grave that I cannot touch and heal by the power of My Word. Do not be afraid, ---- my own, it pleases My Father to give the Kingdom to all who believe in Me, hope in Me, and trust Me. Those you pray for, plead before My throne, cry to Me incessantly for their restoration, healing, and return, I have heard. Believe Me when I say to you, at a time of My choosing, at the appointed hour, their hearts will be filled with My Holy Spirit and filled with compunction and sorrow for their rejection of Me, they will know that apart from Me, life is meaningless. They will return with joy, contrition, and true repentance, and I will give them healing, I will forgive, I will restore in full measure and more all that they turned their backs from during the time of their wandering. They will put down roots deep into Me and they will bear fruit, good fruit in abundance, and you will rejoice and be glad and your joy no one will steal from you. Be of good cheer, ---- my own, I have overcome the world.

RUTH 3:9, 11A (2025)

RUTH 3:9, 11A

“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.”

Have no fear, my daughter; I will do for you all that you ask.

---- mine,

I do not ask you who you are, for I know you. You are my own. I know you by your name, I have carved it on the palm of My Hand. I have saved you, I have washed you clean, I have robed you with festal robes, and I rejoice over you. I have called you out of darkness into My own marvelous light. I have loved you with a love beyond all telling. Be not afraid, ---- my own, but lift your head high and walk with the freedom of a child of God. You are redeemed and sanctified, so live unafraid, victorious, joyfully, for you know who you are and the price that love paid to save you and bind you to the Lord and Giver of Life. Be not afraid - fear crushes the soul and steals your joy. It allows darkness to pervade your soul and your spirit, and it crushes you with fear and anxiety. You are Mine, and because you are Mine, you are grafted to My Body. The Life of the Holy Spirit runs through you and gives you life in abundance. Remain in My Love. Listen to  Me and do all that I command, and you will receive all that your heart desires. I will wipe away all your tears. I will heal your broken heart. I will come to you and live in you, and you will be one with Me. You are Mine forever.  Remain in Me and you will remain in My Love. Ask Me for all you need, ask boldly and with confidence, I will deny you nothing, for it pleases Me to hear your voice passionately pleading that I save those you love. I desire this far more than you do, and I will gladly do as you ask, for I AM the God who saves.

ESTHER 15:9-12, 16, 5:3 (2025)

ESTHER 15:9-12, 16, 5:3

“What is it, Esther?” he said. “I am your brother. Take heart. You will not die, because our decree applies only to ordinary people. Come, speak to me.” He raised the golden scepter, touched her neck with it, then embraced her saying, “Speak to me.” The king was deeply distressed, and his attendants tried to revive her. 

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,

Why are you afraid? Why do you tremble? Why is your soul troubled and filled with sadness? Why do you say that your heart is broken and your sorrow is too hard to bear?  Am I not the Bridegroom of your soul? Are you not my own little sister? Have I not declared you to be mine in time and in eternity? Why do you suffer so, do you not know that I AM God and with Me nothing is impossible? Have you not understood yet that I always hear and answer all your prayers? Is there anything that you have prayed for and I have not granted it, and if I have not given you exactly what you asked for, will you not agree that what I did give you in answer to your prayers was far better than anything you could have asked for and hoped for? After all this time, you must know by now that every prayer of your heart is heard. There is a time for everything under the sun, and you must wait with faith and hope for the appointed hour when every prayer you have prayed will be answered. You have nothing to fear except fear itself. When you give in to worry, anxiety, and sadness, you open the door to doubt, which leads to discouragement. Here I AM ---- my own, the King of Kings, the Lord of Lord, the Prince of Peace, the Ruler of the Universe but above all I AM the Redeemer, the Savior, the Eternal Son of the living God who laid down His life for you and for all those your bring to Me in prayer begging Me to restore them and re-graft them into My Body. Be not afraid ---- my own, My Father and I desire this even more than you do, so lift up your head and remove all sadness and distress from your heart. All that you ask for has already been granted. Wait on My time, at the appointed hour I will do all you ask for and your heart will rejoice, and while you wait, continue to pray, fast, and give alms with expectant faith. All things eventually work for good for those who love Me.

MATTHEW 16:15 (2025)

MATTHEW 16:15

Jesus asked them, 
"But you, who do you say I am?"

---- mine,

Who do you say I AM? You have lived a whole lifetime, and now, as you draw nearer and nearer to the gates of the Kingdom of God, what have all your experiences of life taught you? Who do you say I AM, ---- my own? Has your knowledge of Me through the years, from the moment of your conception, through all the hills and valleys of life, through the heartache, heartbreak, sufferings, tears, and joys, given you an idea of who I AM? Have you come to know Me intimately? Have you experienced what it means to be a child of God and heir to the Kingdom as a member of the Church I founded? What did you learn about yourself when you withdrew from Me, from My love, and sought pleasure in the world, and for how long did this satisfy you? When were you happiest, knew certainly and understood with clarity the horror of a life without Me, and also became aware of the certainty of My love for you, which is the same always, no matter how far you wish to withdraw and hide from Me? When do you feel closest to Me? When do you experience the nearness of My Presence, and what is your response to My nearness to you, My presence in you? At the end of it all, what is your response to My question, 'Who do you say I AM?' And knowing with certitude that I AM WHO I AM, how will you live the remainder of your years, however short or long they may be? Think on these things, pray about them, contemplate and meditate on your response, and then act on it. Remember always that in all things I work for good, I have the power to draw good from every situation, no matter how hopeless, evil, or impossible it may seem. I AM God, I have won the victory, and I share it with all who are Mine.

JOHN 4:34 (2025)

JOHN 4:34

Jesus said to them, 
“My food is to do the will of the one who sent me, 
and to carry out his work.

---- mine,

Nothing on earth will satisfy you; no material or temporal gift can make you happy for long, no matter how great. The pleasure you experience will be brief. It will pass, leaving no lasting impression on you. This is why you must seek the things from above, from heaven, the Gifts of the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Truth, Beauty, Life, Goodness, and above all Love. These gifts are eternal, and no one can steal them from you. To experience true joy, you must seek to discern the will of God in every situation and then embrace it with a glad heart and a willing spirit. It may seem hard at first to embrace the cross; its weight may seem too heavy for you to bear, but if you receive every trial, every hardship, every difficulty from Me, then no cross will be too hard for you to bear.  Once you kiss the cross that is prepared for you, receive it with patience, without complaining, you will learn to rejoice in it, for there is immeasurable consolation and joy in doing all that the God of Love commands you to do. It is in the little things that you experience, the pricks and pains of life, that cause you to stumble and fall. Be aware of them, pay attention to the things that make you impatient, critical of others, judgmental, hard of heart, to make you want to return blow for blow, harsh word for harsh word, in such moments you must look at Me and learn from Me for I AM meek and gentle of heart and you will find strength for you soul. Master yourself in the little things, ---- my own, and you will soon gain mastery over the difficult and big things. In discerning My will and doing it, you will possess lasting peace and joy, and these no one can steal from you.

MARK 6:54-56 (2025)

MARK 6:54-56

As soon as they landed, people recognized Jesus, 
and ran to spread the news throughout the countryside. 
Wherever he was, they brought to him the sick lying on their mats;
and wherever he went, to villages, towns or farms, 
they laid the sick in the marketplace, 
and begged him to let them touch just the fringe of his cloak. 
And all who touched him were cured.


---- mine,

What is your reaction when you recognize Me and experience My goodness in your life? What is your response to Me when you encounter Me? Are you indifferent, selfish, or joyous? Do you wish to share with others the Good News of how you came to Me broken and sad and you did not cease pleading with Me to come to your assistance and to the aid of those for whom you cried out to Me to touch, to bless, to forgive, to heal, and to restore? Have you shared with others how I responded to your cries of help? Is your response like that of the people who heard that I had arrived and ran to spread the news so that others, too, could come and experience My love, My healing, the joy of knowing Me and My Father, and be filled with My Holy Spirit? Are you afraid of being wounded by the barbs of unbelievers, who do not know the Truth, by their ignorance, by non-Catholics who, because of their ignorance too, believe the lies that are fed to them by those they call pastor for they are blind guides who ineffectually try to sate the hunger and quench the thirst for Truth from their broken cisterns? Are you complacent because you know Me, believe in Me, have faith in Me? Do you keep the treasures you have received to yourself rather than risk being hurt and misunderstood by sharing with others what you have freely received? Let the whole world know that I AM HE and let them bring to Me and lay before Me all those who need Me to touch them and heal them of all their iniquities, cleanse them from all their sins, feed them with My Body and Blood and give them hope that the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to all who believe in Me and in My Word so they too may bend low, in humility stripped of all their pet erroneous beliefs and enter the narrow gate to receive of the fullness of Truth, Beauty and Goodness in the Church I founded on the Rock of Peter?

LUKE 18:6A, 7-8 (2025)

LUKE 18:6A, 7-8

And Jesus said, 
“Will God not do justice for his chosen ones, 
who cry to him day and night, even if he delays in answering them? 
I tell you, he will speedily do them justice. 
But, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?”

---- mine,

Patience is the fruit of unceasing prayer. Those who pray with confidence in the dark, trusting that I know when and how to answer and supply all your needs, are like children who are weaned and lie in sweet contentment on their mother's lap. They are not agitated, troubled, but their spirit is quiet and filled with peace and serenity. Ask for this grace and it will be given to you that in testing times your faith will not falter or fail but will grow in strength and confidence because you have confidence in Me, your Lord and your God, your Savior and your Redeemer, your Provider and your Spouse, the Bridegroom of your soul. Ask ---- my own, and never cease to do so. Ask and I will provide for all your needs and for the needs of those you love. Pray for the conversion of your loved ones who are separated from Me. Pray with confidence even though your heart is filled with sorrow that they are far from Me. I desire to answer you because I too long for their return to Me, to the safe shelter of My Sacred Heart and into My sheepfold. Although you pray with tears and a broken heart, pray also with faith and confidence, for I, too, desire that they live and not die. Have faith and remember that My mighty and glorious arm is not too short to save, to rescue, and to restore. Believe! Have faith! I AM the God of the impossible.

LAMENTATIONS 3:55-58 (2025)

LAMENTATIONS 3:55-58

Out of the depths I called on your name, O Lord.
You heard; you have not been deaf to my cry for relief.
When I called, you even came near and told me not to fear.
O Lord, you took up my case and redeemed my life.

---- mine,

As I assure you constantly, and because you need constant assurance, once again I say to you, every time you call, I hear and I answer. I AM close to you. My ear is pressed against your lips so I hear every sigh. Heart is pressed against heart, so the beat of My Heart and yours are one. I hear you, I always hear you. Do not be anxious when I delay in answering you, for even the waiting can be a prayer if you let it. Wait in faith, in hope, and in perfect confidence that I will grant you all your heart's desires according to My will. I will give you or your loved ones anything that will separate you from Me or delay their return to Me. Waiting in confidence is necessary because it builds up and strengthens your faith. Every Word that I speak will return to Me only after carrying out all that I command. Never forget that I desire the life of the sinner, not death. I AM the Lord of Life and of abundance. Keep the faith, no matter how long you are asked to wait, despite all the obstacles that seem insurmountable. I AM here. I take you by the hand, and when necessary, I will carry you. Do not be afraid, but pray, hope, and give thanks always, and your heart will always rejoice.

MARK 4:24-25 (2025)

MARK 4:24-25

And he also said to them, 
“Pay attention to what you hear. 
In the measure you give, so shall you receive, 
and still more will be given to you. 
For to the one who produces something, more will be given; 
and from him who does not produce anything, 
even what he has will be taken away from him.”

---- mine,

The world bombards you with many confusing and contradictory voices; they are nothing but noisy gongs and clashing of cymbals. They are raucous and outdo each other, clamoring for attention. Each is louder than the other, and while containing some element of the truth to a greater or lesser degree, they all, without a doubt, contain overt or covert demonic teachings. These voices lure you with their siren call, and souls are slowly but surely being led away from Me, the Way, the Truth, and the Life, and attune your ears to My Voice. You do this by reading the Word of God, contemplating it, and feeding your soul with it until you recognize what God has said from the beginning and how He continues to speak to the hearts and minds of all who listen and obey. You will recognize the Voice of God and the Spirit of Truth in the Church that I founded, the Church built on Peter, the Rock, and the Apostles that I chose and appointed, and their successors. In this Church, which is My Body, I abide in fullness and in truth. You know Me and recognize My voice when you stay close to the Church. Abide in her, obey her teachings, receive the Sacraments worthily, be cleansed of all your sins in the Sacrament of Reconciliation, and eat daily, My Body and Blood, and receive My Life in you. Without frequent use of these two Sacraments, you will soon wither on the vine, be cut off from Me, and thrown into the everlasting fire where the flames are eternal and the worms do not die. And all that you have received, you must share. You have been given a mission and are commanded to live it until you draw your last breath. You must be a living Gospel that draws all whom you encounter daily to Me. The more you give, the more you will receive, and if you live a life closed in on yourself, selfishly, even the little you have will be lost.

LUKE 8:45-48 (2025)

LUKE 8:45-48

Jesus said, “Who touched me?” 
Everyone denied it; 
and Peter said, “Master, the crowd is pushing all around you.” 
But Jesus insisted, “Someone touched me, 
for I felt power go out from me.” 
The woman knew she had been discovered. 
She came trembling, and knelt before Jesus. 
Then she openly confessed why she had touched him, 
and how she had been instantly cured.
And Jesus said to her, “Daughter, your faith has saved you. Go in peace.”

---- mine,

I know all who touch Me with faith, no matter how lightly, surreptiously, timidly you reach out to touch even the tassel of My cloak, I AM aware for power rushes out of Me into the person who comes to Me and reaches out to Me in faith. Neither the crowds nor the hustle and bustle of the tumultuous world nor the countless poor souls that cry out to Me night and day can drown out, single out, and respond to each individual cry and touch. Even if you wish to be anonymous, even if you are afraid and trembling with fright, deeming yourself unworthy of My attention, I know you, I can pick you from the crowd and recognize that it is you who touched Me. No one is faceless and unknown to Me. I AM sensitive to everything about you. I AM aware of you all the time, for My gaze is unwaveringly on you. I AM passionately involved with every aspect of your life. I hear you because I know you, and your life is bound to Mine with unbreakable bonds. So be not afraid, ---- my own. Be not afraid because I AM here and I love you passionately. All I ask is for you to respond to My love and to plead with the Holy Spirit daily to increase your love for Me so you will love Me more and more with the dawn of every new day. Remain in My love. Stay close. Pray constantly. Offer praise and thanksgiving with a joyful heart. Strive to grow in perfection, for  I delight greatly in the striving which is most delightful to Me. I will bless you always and hear and answer you always because I love you and because you are Mine. Remain in My love now and forever.

JOHN 21:12-13 (2025)

JOHN 21:12-13

Jesus said to them, “Come and have breakfast.” 
And not one of the disciples dared to ask him, “Who are you?” 
for they knew it was the Lord.
Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them, 
and he did the same with the fish.

---- mine,

Every morning, day after day, I call you by your name, and you come to Me hours before dawn, and you sit at My feet. I invite you morning after morning to go to Holy Mass to break your spiritual fast and feast on My Body and Blood at the Thanksgiving meal - the Bread that comes down from heaven for you and for the world. You do not need to ask "Who are you?" for you know Me. You know that I AM the Christ, the Son of the Living God, who humbles Himself for your sake so you may eat Me and drink Me and in this way abide in Me. This is a pledge of My invitation to be seated with Me someday at the heavenly banquet. For as long as you are able, ---- my own, do not neglect this spiritual food. It is easier for you to go without natural bread than it would be for you to live without the Bread of Life that comes down from heaven and nourishes your soul. Hunger and thirst for this Bread. Come to Me and receive Me with all the longing of your soul, and let the wealth of graces you receive at every Eucharist provide you with the help you need to live as My beloved disciple. Come to Me, lay your head against My Breast. Talk to Me. Confide in Me. Tell Me everything I long to hear from you. Speak to Me as you would speak to a beloved brother and friend. Speak without fear, speak confidently, I want to know everything about you, your fears, your joys, your weaknesses and strengths, the things you like to do, and the things you dislike. Share your sorrows, pain, tears, and laughter with Me. I want to enjoy intimacy with you, not just as your friend and brother but as the Bridegroom of your soul. This is possible only if you eat My Flesh and drink My Blood and receive the life that I long to give, not just to you but to all - life in its abundance. Remain in Me, and you will remain in My love and the joy I give you no one can take from you.

MATTHEW 10:47-52 (2025)

MATTHEW 10:47-52 

On hearing that it was Jesus of Nazareth passing by, 
he began to call out, “Son of David, Jesus, have mercy on me!”
Jesus stopped and said, “Call him.” 
So they called the blind man, saying, 
“Take heart! Get up, he is calling you!” 
He immediately threw aside his cloak, jumped up and went to Jesus. 
Then Jesus asked him, “What do you want me to do for you?” 
The blind man said, “Master, let me see again!”
And Jesus said to him, “Go your way, your faith has made you well.”
And, immediately, he could see, and he followed Jesus along the road.

---- mine,

I always hear you when you call out to Me. You call My Name unceasingly. You have asked the Holy Spirit to make My Name resonate in you with every beat of your heart, every breath, every pulse beat, and it is so because He never refuses anyone what He ardently desires everyone to ask. My Name is on your lips, in your heart, and in your breath as you breathe in and out, and I AM even closer to you than any of these. I AM intrinsically one with you. because you desire it. Nothing gives Me greater pleasure and delight than to respond to your call. My Name on your lips is sweet to My ears. Each time you call Me, I ask that you be brought to Me. So take heart as blind Bartimaeus did, leave all that holds you behind, the things that you find your security in, you don't need any of it when you come to Me, for I AM your mantle. I cover you and protect you with My love. I AM your shield and your shadow. Ask, and you will receive just as he did. What do you desire Me to do for you, ---- my own? I will give you sight, I will open your ears, I will stretch out your shriveled hand and straighten and strengthen your crippled legs and you will leap and dance for joy as I awaken your senses and your spirit, open your ears and your eyes to hear Me, see Me and be transformed by My Spirit. All you ask for in prayer, I will grant you. Remain in Me, follow Me, and I will lead you to My Kingdom.

JEREMIAH 32:27 (2025)

JEREMIAH 32:27

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

---- mine,

I know you, and I AM known to you. I love you, you belong to Me. Remain in My love. Walk in the footsteps that I have marked out for you, keep your ways aligned to My ways, and you will receive life in its abundance. Walk in the light of Truth, and you will not stray from the road that leads to Me. I AM your home, I AM your rest, I AM your peace, I AM your hope, your song, your joy, your deliverer. Remain in Me and in My love. Look to Me to supply all your needs. Run to Me in times of trouble. Ask and you will receive all you need in faith, and I will open My heart and My hands and I will pour upon you every grace and blessing you need to help you to remain faithful, steadfast, and to carry your cross daily with joy, confident that I who am with you. I will never leave you, never abandon you, cling to Me, bring all your troubles to Me. Pray for those you love. Ask Me for whatever blessings they need and I will supply all, and I will lead them as well with cords of loving kindness, and they too shall dwell with Me in my Father's House. Do not allow anything in this life on earth to trouble you, ---- my own, for I AM with you and with those you love. Remain in My love and rejoice always because I have called you to be Mine in time and eternally.

ISAIAH 25:4, 6-10 (2025)

ISAIAH 25:4, 6, 8-10

For you have been a refuge to the poor,
    a refuge to the needy in their distress,
    a shelter from the rainstorm and a shade from the heat.
When the blast of the ruthless was like a winter rainstorm,
6 On this mountain the Lord of hosts will make for all peoples
    a feast of rich food, a feast of well-aged wines,
    of rich food filled with marrow, of well-aged wines strained clear.
8     he will swallow up death forever.
Then the Lord God will wipe away the tears from all faces,
    and the disgrace of his people he will take away from all the earth,
    for the Lord has spoken.
9 It will be said on that day,
    Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, so that he might save us.
    This is the Lord for whom we have waited;
    let us be glad and rejoice in his salvation.
10 For the hand of the Lord will rest on this mountain.

---- mine,

Here I AM, once again assuring you of My steadfast, abiding, infinite, everlasting love for you and for those you love. Once more, I say to you that you are mine, and My Hand of protection is over you. I have called you and I have declared that you belong to Me and no power can take what is Mine from Me. Through the storms, through the tragedies, through all the suffering, the pain, the heartache, the uncertainties you experience, through the storms of life that toss you about and fill you will distress, remember, that I have made a Covenant of love with you, I have sworn an oath to protect you and those you love, and to keep you safe through the stormsthat often overwhelm you. I assure you, they will not destroy you. For I, the Lord your God, the Son of the Most High, the Beloved of the Father, have chosen you and taken you to be My own possession. I have said it before, and I will say it as often as you need Me to, that I will save not just you but everyone for whom you plead before Me night and day. Take heart, ---- my own, nothing delights Me more than to keep My promises to you. Not a hair of your head will be harmed, for I have sealed you in My Love. Walk with confidence, sure in the knowledge that I make My dwelling place in you and I feed with My Body and My Blood and fill you with My Holy Spirit.

SONG OF SONGS 1:2-4 (2025)

SONG OF SONGS 1:2-4

Shower me with kisses of your mouth:
your love is more delicious than wine.
Your oil smells sweeter than any perfume,
your name spreads out like balm;
no wonder the maidens long for you.
Lure me to you, let us fly!
Bring me, O king, into your room,
and be our joy, our excitement.
We will praise your caresses more than wine,
how rightly are you loved.


---- mine,

I cover you with My love. I enfold you in My mantle and keep you safe from the Enemy. I have proclaimed that you are Mine in time and in eternity. I delight in your love for few truly love Me. Let your love for Me consume your whole being, setting your heart and your spirit ablaze. Long for Me. Hunger and thirst for Me. Delight in My Presence and seek never to be parted from Me. I long to shower My love over you and fill you with every grace, gift, and blessing of the Holy Spirit so you will thrive, grow, blossom, and bear abundant good fruit for My glory and the glory of the Kingdom of God. Do nothing, ---- my own, which would separate you from Me, so many do, and it wounds Me when those I love abandon Me for lesser loves, for pleasure that eventually will leave the taste of bitter ashes in their mouth. Cling to Me. Call My Name in the time of your distress. Seek Me in every circumstance of your life and love Me. Love Me. The world grows cold and weary of loving Me; this is why there is so much violence, war, ugliness, and darkness in the world. People against people, nations against nations, communities against communities, this is the work of the spirit of the world and the spirit of darkness. But you, I have called you, chosen you, grafted you to My Body, and I give you life in all its abundance. Remain in My love always, and you will thrive, grow, and bloom. Keep your gaze always on Me as Mine is ever on you. Remain in Me and abide in My love.

MATTHEW 18:11-14 (2025)

MATTHEW 18:11-14

(The Son of Man has come to save the lost.)

What do you think of this? 
If someone has a hundred sheep and one of them strays, 
won’t he leave the ninety-nine on the hillside, 
and go to look for the stray one? 
And I tell you, when he finally finds it, 
he is more pleased about it, 
than about the ninety-nine that did not go astray. 
It is the same with your Father in heaven. 
Your Father in heaven 
doesn’t want even one of these little ones to perish.

---- mine,

Take heart, My Father sent Me to seek and save the lost, and I have entered into the death of all men and raised them up to new life in the power of My resurrection. Every man, woman, and child is saved by the infinite power of My Passion, Death, and glorious Resurrection. I have destroyed death forever; now death has become the gateway to eternal life in heaven with God. All are saved ---- my own, but many stubbornly refuse the free gift that God offers, preferring willful and wanton disobedience to the will of God and His commands. You and all human beings are designed by the Creator to live in a manner that enhances your life so you can live up to the potential possible with divine grace poured into all hearts by the Holy Spirit of God. Many, however, turn their backs on this grace. Many are ignorant. Many prefer their ignorance rather than embracing the Truth and living it. They prefer a life of hedonism, concupiscence, instant self-gratification, and sacrifice, discipline, and a life lived for the good of others is abhorrent to them. But I AM the Good Shepherd, I will pursue every living soul no matter how far they stray and are lost, and will do My utmost to tenderly woo them back into the fold. I will carry the weak and nurse the sick back to health. But those who refuse to be saved will sadly be lost forever unless generous souls pray for them with a real burden on their hearts. So pray, ---- my own, pray that not one of these little ones be lost, and I will hear your prayers and they will be saved.

PSALM 138:1-3 (2025)

PSALM 138:1-3

I thank you, O Lord, with all my heart, 
for you have heard the word of my lips. 
I sing your praise in the presence of the gods. 
I bow down toward your holy temple 
and give thanks to your name, 
for your love and faithfulness, 
for your word, which exceeds everything.
You answered me when I called; 
you restored my soul and made me strong.

---- mine,

The day is coming, it is already here, when you will, with heart overflowing with joy and thanksgiving, offer Me praise and worship with joy for I have heard your prayers. I have given you all you asked for, I have done it in the manner that I know was best, not all at once but gradually, little by little,  and this is the final blessing in a long chapter of sorrow, heartbreak, uncertainty, tears, blame, weeping, and yearning. But now is the time to crown all your prayers with an answer.  All that you have asked for, I give. I give it with joy. You have hoped, and you will not be disappointed. Every step of the way, you have been faithful and you have trusted in Me and patiently waited on My timing, even when you struggled to do so. In the end, you understood that My way is better than anything you could have asked or hoped for. Little by little, I have healed, made whole, strengthened, watched over, and blessed in ways that you cannot even begin to know. I have been steadfast in My love, and I have walked the way of suffering and trial with you. Continue to pray, to love, to support, to offer encouragement, and I will never withdraw My favor again. Have faith, hope, and trust in the goodness, mercy, and faithfulness of your God and your Lord now and always.

MARK 4:9, 23-25 (2025)

MARK 4:9, 23-25

And Jesus added, “Listen then, if you have ears.”

Listen then, if you have ears!” 
And he also said to them, “Pay attention to what you hear. 
In the measure you give, so shall you receive, 
and still more will be given to you.
For to the one who produces something, more will be given; 
and from him who does not produce anything, 
even what he has will be taken away from him.”

---- mine,

Listen, listen. This is what I say to you today, this is what My Father says to you today, "This is my beloved Son, listen to him." And this is what My Mother says, "Do whatever He tells you". Keep your ears open and listen attentively, always for My Word points to the Way that leads to Life and will guide you to all Truth. My Word is Truth, and those who listen to and abide in My Word are consecrated in the Truth. Your days in this valley of tears are short, and in this span of time allotted to you, you must live in love and walk in the Spirit. Ask the Holy Spirit, and He will fill your heart and mind with the Wisdom of God that will keep the all-consuming Fire of My Love burning in your heart. Without love, you cannot please God, you cannot please Me. The love of God in your heart is the lighted lamp illumined by My Spirit, which prompts, instructs, and inspires your mind, directs your step, and your every action. Receive every thought, word, and deed through the Word of God, through prayer and meditation through the Voice of the Spirit, through the Church, and in your soul where the Holy Spirit abides, and then act as the Spirit instructs you too, you will then always be pleasing to Us - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit and all your days will be blessed, all your prayers will be heard, and all you do and say will be pleasing and fruitful to Me. Remember always that it is in the measure that you are willing to pour out yourself for others that you will receive. The more generous you are, the more generous I will be, for God cannot be outdone in generosity.

LUKE 1:35-38 (2025)

LUKE 1:35-38

And the angel said to her, 
“The Holy Spirit will come upon you 
and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; 
therefore, the holy child to be born of you shall be called Son of God.
Even your relative, Elizabeth, is expecting a son in her old age, 
although she was unable to have a child; 
and she is now in her sixth month. 
With God nothing is impossible.” 
Then Mary said, “I am the handmaid of the Lord, 
let it be done to me as you have said.” 
And the angel left her.

---- mine,

When you permit Me to have My way with you and allow God complete autonomy over your will and your life, you will see great miracles happen. The Holy Spirit will come upon you and the power of the Most High will overshadow you, and I will be born in your heart, mind, soul, and spirit, and you will bring Me forth in every way. I will be present in you, through you, and will go forth from you to others. I will come alive in you, and I will establish My Kingdom in you and over you. I will be your God and your Lord, I will reign in you and through you, and all who come to you will experience My love emanating from you and flowing through you. Sinner though you are, weak though you are, frail and prone to sin constantly, I AM the God of the impossible, and just as Elizabeth, who was barren, conceived in her old age, so too can I make of you a new creation, pleasing and acceptable to My Father. Remain in My love. Be aware of My Presence in you. Allow Me to take control of your whole being. Rest in Me in perfect confidence, knowing that I, the Lord your God, love you with a love that is beyond your understanding. Know and believe ---- my own, You are Mine in time and eternity. Remain in My love.
