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

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.

WISDOM 10:17

She gave to holy people the reward of their labours;
she guided them along a marvellous way,
and became a shelter to them by day,
and a starry flame through the night.

---- mine.

I AM God who walks with His people, who abide in them, who lives among them and makes His abode in their midst. I AM the God who saves. I AM the Lord your God who emptied Himself and gave up all so you could be daughters and sons of My Father, of God Most High. I AM you Brother, I AM your Friend, I AM your Savior, I AM your Redeemer, I AM your food and your drink, I AM Your strength your deliverer I AM who AM and from all eternity I have known you and chosen you to be Mine. I have called you by your name. I have put My Holy Spirit in you so you can rely on Him to fill you with all the graces and virtues you need to live a holy life and be pleasing to God always. My Holy Spirit abides in you, directs you, speaks to you, and points out the way so you can walk in it. He is your shelter by day and your light by night. As long as you live, ---- my own, I will be with you, and I will carry you when you lack strength of your own. Ask and I will give you all the treasures of My Kingdom so you will have everything you need to walk in the way of truth, goodness, beauty, and the love of God. And never forget all that you ask for in prayer with faith, hope, and confidence, I will grant you. Remain in Me. Abide in My love.

PSALM 30:5 (2025)

PSALM 30:5

For his anger is but for a moment; 
his favour is for a lifetime.
Weeping may linger for the night,
but joy comes with the morning.



---- mine,

In this world you will have sorrow, troubles, and heartache and your heart will break over many things. It will break when those you love and trust let you down, when your loved ones are gravely ill in heart mind body, soul, and spirit, when darkness surrounds you and dawn does not break on your horizon. When death looms and joy is a stranger at your door. When you have lost your peace and your only companions are fear, anxiety, distress, and worry, fearful thoughts consume every waking hour of every day. In times like this, remember ---- my own, My anger lasts but a moment my favor a lifetime. Weeping will end and joy will come, the dark of night will end and a new dawn will break on the horizon and you and every member of your family I will save. Be of good cheer I have conquered the world.

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,

All that I have assured you will come to pass. As for you remain faithful, pray constantly, obey My will with a glad heart and a joyful spirit. Know that I AM God and that I keep My Word. From the rising of the sun to its setting offer to God, My Father, the Holy Spirit, and Me praise, worship, and thanksgiving with a humble and contrite heart. And pray with expectation knowing that every prayer is heard and answered. All that you, ask for all that you plead for, all that your heart is aching and breaking for, will come to pass for I desire all that your heart desires - the salvation of those you love so tenderly. I love them with a love beyond imagining. I laid down My life that they may live, that you may live and My Sacrifice will not be in vain. Lift your head, dry your tears, rejoice, and be glad for I, the Lord Your God will visit them, and their hearts too will rejoice and be glad. I will have mercy, I will forgive, I will heal, I will restore, and together you will praise Me for long as you live.

PSALM 138 2-3

I bow down towards your holy temple 
 and give thanks to your name 
for your steadfast love and your faithfulness;
for you have exalted your name and your word
above everything.

On the day I called, you answered me,
you increased my strength of soul.

---- mine,

I keep My Word. I keep My promises. All that I have said I will do, I WILL DO. You will gaze at Me open-mouthed in astonishment as I answer all your prayers, supplications, and intercessions, You will know that while I AM your God I AM also your Brother, your Friend, your Redeemer, your Messiah, and above all, the Bridegroom of your soul. Run to Me, trust Me, lay your head on My breast, and confide everything to Me your troubles, your joys, your sorrows, the things that make you fearful, your weaknesses, all your sins, your frailties, the times you deliberately turn away from Me and from My love, do not be ashamed. I know you and I know all about you. Nothing is hidden from Me so confide everything to Me nothing you say to Me and nothing about you can or will decrease My infinite love for you. I love you because you are Mine now and forever. Remain in Me and I will remain in you. I will help you and even carry you through this valley of tears to the place that My Father has prepared for you in the Kingdom of Heaven. Be not afraid. ---- my own, not for yourself or for those you love. In the end, My Sacred Heart and the Immaculate of My Mother will triumph in your life and in the lives of those you bring to Me daily with tears, heartache, sighs and groans that are often too deep for words, and all you ask for in prayer you will receive...

DANIEL 14:38 (2025)

DANIEL 14:38
Daniel gave thanks to God, saying, “You have remembered me, O God, and have not forsaken those who love you.”

---- mine,

Know My heart and mind by reading Scripture and meditating on My Word. All I have said through the mouths of the ancient writers - the prophets and patriarchs as well as the writers of the Good News and all who have been filled with My Holy Spirit to teach, preach, and write all that is needful for all to know, understand, to encourage and build faith are for you to know the heart and mind of God who loves all that He has made. Give thanks constantly do not say this is good or bad, for I would not have permitted it were it not beneficial for your soul. Have faith, pray constantly, and keep the commandments of love first to God and then to neighbor do not neglect your duties both to Me and to your neighbor, and then rest in My will. Do not be anxious about anything. Be still. I AM always here always with you. You breathe because I give you life and I give it in abundance. I will never leave you, never forsake you. When you walk in the deepest darkest night I hold you by the hand and lead you. The waters will not drown, you the wind will not toss you about because I AM always with you. Fear nothing only the loss of your soul. Be alert, stand on guard, and place all your hope and trust in Me and I will keep you safe from all danger and calamity.

ZECHARIAH 2:8 (2025)

ZECHARIAH 2:8

For thus said the Lord of hosts: 
Truly, one who touches you touches the apple of my eye.

---- mine,

As often as I have said it before I now say again and will always say to those who are Mine, no harm will come to those called by My Name. You belong to Me, you were purchased at a price. I redeemed you at the cost of My life. I saved you. I have called you by name. I have bound you to Me with cords that cannot be broken. I lay down My life for you so you may live with Me forever. When you walk through trouble keep your gaze on Me and never forget that you are Mine and that I walk with you, I live in you, I nourish you with My own Body and Blood, I forgive all your sins when you come to be with a repentant heart and a contrite spirit. I guard you as I guard the apple of My Eye for I love you with a love that is everlasting. Trust Me. Trust My love for you. Trust in My Sacrifice. Love all that is true, good, holy, and beautiful and the love of God that surpasses all understanding will fill your whole being and remain with you forever.

ISAIAH 25:4, 8-9 (2025)

ISAIAH 25:4, 8-9

4 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,
8 he will swallow up death for ever.
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.

---- mine,

I Am your God, your refuge, your shade, your deliverer, your provider, your Lord, and your God. Come to Me, abide in Me, rest in Me. Have no fear but in everything, even the things that trouble you, make you anxious, fill you with sadness, and make you tremble with worry and sorrow, have faith! AM I not God and the Son of God? Nothing is impossible for Me. Trust in My everlasting love for you and remember, all things without exception, work for good for those who love Me, for those who are called by My Name. Fear nothing, ---- my own, fear does nothing except weaken your faith, your hope, and your love and trust in Me. Be still and know that I AM God and My hand is mighty to save. Come to Me, bring all your troubles to Me, make all your anxieties known to Me, and rest in Me. Be of good cheer ---- My own, I will never forget you. I hear you, I see you, I know you, I have counted every hair on your head and not one falls without my being aware of it just as I know when a sparrow falls and never forget that you and your loved ones are worth more than many sparrows.

MATTHEW 15:32 (2025)

MATTHEW 15:32

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



---- mine,

I always have compassion, and the weaker you are, the more needy, the more heartbroken, and in need of My mercy, forgiveness, healing, and love, the greater will be My outpouring of compassion and love. I AM your Healer, Restorer, and Provider, there is no need, that I cannot and will not meet. Bring all your troubles to Me and trust that I who love you will hear and answer you. Come to Me is an invitation I extend to all who are hungry, thirsty, naked, sick, dying, homeless, sick, sorrowful, or mourning, and I assure you I will meet every need, I will wipe away your tears, I will turn your sorrow to joy your mourning to laughter, and I will be your God and you will be Mine in time and in eternity. Be of good cheer, ---- my own, I have overcome the world.

MATTHEW 10:37-39 (2025)

MATTHEW 10:37-39

Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me;and whoever does not take up the cross and follow me is not worthy of me. Those who find their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake will find it.

---- mine,

Who or what do you love more than Me? Who or what takes up all your thoughts in the day? What or who do you place before love for Me, worship of Me, desire for Me, and for all things holy good and perfect and true? On what do you fritter the precious hours of the day? Do your pastimes bring you closer to God and heaven or take you further away from Me and eternal life in the Kingdom of God? Do you complain about the daily troubles that you have to face in life, the challenges, sickness, sorrows, and difficulties of those you love that weigh down your soul and make you heavy-hearted, despondent and cause you to worry instead of turning trustfully to Me, bringing all your burdens to Me and trusting that all things work for good for those who love Me? Do you trust in My love for every member of your family and that I work for good in all circumstances of their lives? Are you seeking a life of ease, a life of comfort, and deliberately choose to stay uninvolved rather than leave the comfort of your home and the ease of your life instead of going out to seek those who would welcome you and would be grateful to you for just being there as they walk through their own valley of tears for just a little while? Choose to live for yourself and you will die. Choose to go out of yourself, die to yourself and you will live. I AM the God of contradictions those who are last will be first, those who serve will be served, those who empty themselves will be filled, and those who give up all will gain a Kingdom where your mourning will change to joy, tears to laughter, sorrow to laughter, and poverty of spirit to fullness and abundance.

PSALM 46:10 (2025)

PSALM 46:10

‘Be still, and know that I am God!
I am exalted among the nations,
I am exalted in the earth.’

---- mine,

Take a moment to consider what I say to you through My Word today. Be still. Quiet your senses. Enter the sanctuary of your soul and you will meet Me enthroned in your heart. I AM always with you but you do not find Me because you permit the troubles of life, the noise of the world, all the attractions of the time-wasting pastimes you indulge in hour by hour to drown the still small voice of the Holy Spirit who speaks constantly. You distance yourself from Me but I AM always here with you. I desire to remain with you and never leave you because I love you.  You say you love Me, you say I AM the Bridegroom of your soul, yet you do not act as if I AM your all in all. Your love for Me is like the mist or dew that is gone when the sun shines. You blow hot and cold. You come to Me to tell Me your troubles, beg for favors and blessings but do you love Me so much that you will not permit anything to part you from Me? Do you desire to remain in Me and ever aware of My presence in you? Do you love Me with a love that is beyond any love you have for earthly creatures? I do not care for lip service. I do not care for empty praises and promises. I want you to love Me with your whole heart, mind, soul, and strength, your whole being.  I desire that you give Me love for love. Love Me as I have loved you. Be truly Mine. Ask the Holy Spirit to increase your love for Me and to enkindle in you a desire to be constantly aware of My Presence in your soul. Love Me ---- my own as I love you.

PROVERBS 31:20, 25-27 (2025)

PROVERBS 31:20, 25-27

She reaches out her hand to the helpless and gives to the poor.
She is strong and dignified and looks with confidence to the future.
She speaks wisely and her words are kind.
She keeps an eye on the conduct of her household and is never idle.

---- mine,

How many women today can claim that they follow the example of this ideal woman of substance that the Book of Proverbs praises and sets up as a model for us to follow? Unless women are familiar with Sacred Scripture and its wisdom permeates their soul and entire being how can they know the heart and mind of God who has given the world the perfect model for wise women to follow - My Mother, the Holy Virgin, who conceived in her womb the Word of God, the Son of God, and the Son of Man? A woman has the power to make or break the members of her household, however, if you follow the example of all the holy women who loved the Mother of God and embraced her as their Mother as well, you too will receive all the spiritual and temporal help you need to live a holy life filled with the love of God and the grace of the Holy Spirit. 
---- my own, heed the words I speak today and resolve to be numbered as daughters and sons of My Mother and yours.

PROVERBS 6:27-28

PROVERBS 6:27-28

Can fire be carried in the bosom
without burning one’s clothes?
Or can one walk on hot coals
without scorching the feet?

---- mine,

Sin is sin and no matter how small the infraction if unconfessed has the power to remain like a canker in your soul and soon you will lose your peace and joy. All sin is abhorrent to Me. All sin creates a rift in our relationship not because I desire it but because nothing unclean can come into My Presence. This is why I instituted the Sacrament of Reconciliation take advantage of it, use it often, and do not allow even the slightest distance caused by even the smallest sin to drive a wedge in your relationship with Me. I love you, desire you to be holy and perfect, and provide you with all the graces necessary to be a true and loving daughter of God. A just man falls seven times a day and you who are so weak will surely fall far more often. Even though you desire to love Me with your whole heart, mind soul, body, and spirit, when you lack the humility to confess even the smallest transgression you will stain your soul and create a distance between us that will widen if you do not approach the Mercy Throne quickly and be forgiven. Forgiveness, mercy, and grace await you for the Lord loves the repentant sinner. The humble and contrite of heart I will not spurn. I will quickly forgive and restore, strengthen and purify, and you will not give in so easily to temptation by the power of My grace.

LUKE 18:27 (2025)

LUKE 18:27

Jesus replied, ‘What is impossible for mortals is possible for God.’

---- mine,

So many things on your mind and heart weigh you down. All of it is impossible for you to do anything about and it makes you feel vulnerable, sad, and afraid. You are filled with regret blaming yourself for the things you could have done better but failed, things that you did that you now think may have had a detrimental effect and caused many of the problems for which you beat yourself up. While some of it may be true much of it is only partially so. There is nothing you can do about the past ---- my own and indulging in regret is the most useless of all the emotions. It does nothing except make you feel despondent and guilty. All you can do with the past, the most beneficial thing you can do about it, is to entrust it to Me trusting in My power to draw good from all of it. Do not beat yourself up too much about the mistakes you have made you are human and frail. Like the entire human race, you have fallen and failed times without number. This is why you must entrust all to Me with faith. Trust Me, trust in My love, trust in My mercy, trust in My compassion, trust Me to handle it all and make something beautiful of all the mistakes you have made. Come to Me, surrender all to Me, am I not the Bridegroom of your soul?  Am I not your Brother Your Friend, your Redeemer, your Savior, your Provider, your Spouse? Trust Me and allow Me to be God for I AM He to whom nothing is impossible.

SONG OF SONGS 3:1-4 (2025)

 


SONG OF SONGS 3:1-4

Upon my bed at night
I sought him whom my soul loves;
I sought him, but found him not;
I called him, but he gave no answer.

 ‘I will rise now and go about the city,
in the streets and in the squares;
I will seek him whom my soul loves.’
I sought him, but found him not.


 


The sentinels found me,
as they went about in the city.
‘Have you seen him whom my soul loves?’

Scarcely had I passed them,
when I found him whom my soul loves.
I held him, and would not let him go
until I brought him into my mother’s house,
and into the chamber of her that conceived me
.


  ---- mine,

If you seek Me you will find Me if you seek Me with all your heart. You must hunger and thirst for Me. You must desire Me more than food or drink. You must yearn for Me like a deer yearns for running water and having found Me who am closer to you than your breath, ---- my own, you will find the pearl of great price, the treasure hidden in the field, you will find Living Water and you will never be thirsty again. Unless you desire Me with every fiber of your being just as the saints did, you will never experience the abundance of joy from possessing Me in fullness and in truth. Leave the world behind, overcome the cravings of your flesh. Every day you master concupiscence by denying yourself, taking up the cross designed just for you, and follow Me. The Way to the Kingdom is narrow and few choose it and only if you choose it will you find Me, and having found Me, you will cling to Me and never let Me go. Those who seek Me ardently will discover that I delight in being found. Seek Me who seeks you and you will find Me. Cling to Me and I in turn will not let you go. I will not leave you or forsake you, I will espouse you and you will be Mine forever.

ZECHARIAH 13:9 (2025)

ZECHARIAH 13:9

“I shall refine them, as silver is refined; I shall test them, as gold is tested. They shall call upon my name and I will hear them. I will say, ‘They are my people,’ and they shall say, ‘Yahweh is my God.’”

---- mine,

All suffering is necessary for suffering is the furnace, the crucible in which I purify the soul of all dross. Every impurity of heart, mind, and soul is removed; the more intense the fire, the purer your soul will emerge from it. All suffering is painful at the time but when you see yourself once you are purified and strengthened you will know that in all things I work for good. No suffering and, no cross will be laid on you that is not absolutely necessary. I love you, God loves you and He will not permit you to suffer a moment more than is required to melt, mold, and make you in His image and likeness. Do not complain, do not grumble, and do not look for ways to escape the cross it will only make the weight heavier and difficult to carry. Keep your gaze fixed on Me as the Israelites were asked to lift their gaze to the bronze serpent lifted up in the desert and you will be healed and made whole and your loved ones will live. I AM your God, ---- my own, and you and yours are Mine you belong to Me and not a single one whom God has entrusted to Me will perish.

1 KINGS 17:21-23 (2025)

1 KINGS 17:21-23

21Then he stretched himself upon the child three times, and cried out to the Lord, ‘O Lord my God, let this child’s life come into him again.’ 22The Lord listened to the voice of Elijah; the life of the child came into him again, and he revived. 23Elijah took the child, brought him down from the upper chamber into the house, and gave him to his mother; then Elijah said, ‘See, your son is alive.’

---- mine,

Your son will live. I assure you that your son will live. Not just your son but all your children and all those you love. I will breathe on them and My Holy Spirit will descend on them and they will be renewed in the life of the Spirit. I have heard your sighs, I have seen your tears, I will take away the garments of mourning and I will clothe you with garments of gladness and your heart will exult in praise and thanksgiving and you will glorify Me all the days of your life. Fear nothing, ---- my own, I desire that every one of the children of men be saved, that they come to know My Father. Redeemed by Me and sanctified by My Spirit they will, as children of God, enjoy the fruits of My Victory and triumph over sin and death. Have faith! Have courage! Believe that all I have said will come to pass. Rejoice and be glad for the Day of the Lord is here and salvation is at hand.

ISAIAH 41:10, 13-14B

Do not fear, for I am with you,
do not be afraid, for I am your God;
I will strengthen you, I will help you,
I will uphold you with my victorious right hand.
