MATTHEW 6:8B (2025)

MATTHEW 6:8B

For your Father knows what you need before you ask him.

---- mine,

Do not be disheartened or dismayed when you are invited to wait for My answer to your prayers. Continue to pray with persistence and faith, and I who know all things and what is good for you will hear and answer in My time and in My way. Remember always that all things work for the good of those who love Me, those whom I have called by name, for you are Mine. I will never leave you, I will never forsake you; when you call, I will hear and I will answer, for I AM your refuge and your stronghold. No harm will come to you because your name is carved on My hand. Come to Me, tell me everything, confide all your troubles to Me. Tell Me all your thoughts; share with Me the things that trouble you. Unburden yourself to Me, and I will listen to, comfort, and help you. Do not be afraid, ---- my own, God delights in the prayers of His people, and you are a child of God, you belong to the family of God. You are grafted on to My Body. I nourish you with My Flesh and My Blood, and I have made you Mine in time and in eternity. Pray with confidence, and all that you ask for in prayer I will grant you. Have faith in God's love for you.  Trust in Me and do not worry, do not be anxious, do not be afraid.

MARK 4:24-25 (2025)

MARK 4:24-25

Jesus says, "Pay attention to what you hear. The measure you give will be the measure you get, and still more will be given you. For to those who have, more will be given; and from those who have nothing, even what they have will be taken away."

 

---- mine,

Give heed to what I say to you today. Listen! Remember! Act! You have been blessed in many ways, and these blessings have been given to you freely. Freely you have received, freely give. The more you open your hands and your heart, the greater will there be room for My abundance. So, ensure you always have an open heart and open hands. Do not allow your giving to depend on your feelings; give to all without discrimination of all the good things that you have been blessed. Make room for all, and I will ensure you receive all you need for yourself and those you love. Cling to nothing, hold on to nothing, free yourself from all attachments, and keep your gaze on Me.  

Let your heart, mind, soul, body, and spirit be filled with thoughts of Me and love for Me and the peace that you seek that is beyond all understanding will be yours for it is a peace that the world cannot give only the Prince of Peace can fill your heart with the love of God and the peace of God that surpassess all human understanding.

JOB 19:25-27 (2025)

JOB 19:25-27

For I know that my Redeemer lives,
and that at the last he will stand upon the earth;
and after my skin has been thus destroyed,
then in my flesh I shall see God,
whom I shall see on my side,
and my eyes shall behold, and not another.
My heart faints within me!

---- mine,

Keep your gaze on Me no matter what trials you face; do not grow downcast, stressed, and anxious. Never forget that all things work for the good of those who love Me, who are called according to My plans and purposes, and you and your loved ones are called by Me by name. Trust Me in all things be aware that nothing ever happens to any of you without My Father's will this is why you must stay still under the Hand that must lay you low sometimes to teach you, to guide you, to instruct you, to keep you humble, docile, and aware of your nothingness before Me, the Lord your God. I will be with you always. Never is there a moment, ---- my own, when I Am not intensely aware of you, involved with every area of your life, guiding you, leading you, helping you, and pouring on you all my strength and all the graces you need.. And in the end, when you reach the end of your journey, I will be there to receive you and take you home to My Father's house. Be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

JOHN 14:6-7 (2025)

JOHN 14:6-7

Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you know me, you will know my Father also. From now on you do know him and have seen him.’

---- mine,

I have called you by your name to be my own possession. I desire to draw you closer and deeper into a relationship with Me and my Father through the power of the Holy Spirit who binds all in love, peace, and perfect harmony. Anyone who listens to Me, who hears my voice, and obeys all I ask will be pleasing not just to Me but to My Father as well. Ask and you will receive the Kingdom as your inheritance I deny no good thing to those who are meek and humble of heart. I have given you all you need in this life to be happy and to walk in confidence from this life to the next. Not only have I heaped rich graces on you through the Sacraments but I have given you My Mother, St. Joseph, and the intercession of all the angels and saints in heaven to assist you. Be of good cheer, ---- my own, I have conquered the world. Pray with faith, hope, and trust, and know that I desire nothing more than the salvation of every precious soul that I ransomed from the jaws of death by entering hell on behalf of all. Having done so I have won the redemption of all who desire to be saved and come to the knowledge of truth. Pray without ceasing. Do not doubt but have faith which moves mountains and do not worry for Your Father in heaven who looks after the birds in the air and the flowers in the field has counted every hair on your head and holds you close in the palm of His hand.

JOHN 6:27 (2025)

JOHN 6:27

Do not work for the food that perishes, but for the food that endures for eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For it is on him that God the Father has set his seal.’

---- mine,

You have spent much of your life working for the earthy bread and so too do many in the world, only at the end of their lives, when it is almost too late they turn their attention to why they were created and their final end. By then it is too late for many to do anything meaningful to work out their salvation with fear and trembling. You know that you were created for God. He is Your beginning and your end. The reason you live is because the God of infinite love and tenderness created you redeemed, you saved, you and sanctified you not to fritter your life away for baubles and trinkets but for lasting joy and peace in the presence of the Lord your God. You have worked all your life for the food that perishes. You have been anxious when that food supply was threatened. You have given greater importance to earning and keeping the things that are temporal while you have wasted a large portion of your life focusing not on eternal things but on the things of the world. Now as you stand in the final years of your life You have begun to understand that the whole purpose of your life was to allow the reign of My Kingdom in your soul and to establish this Kingdom on earth.  God Himself has provided the nourishment that will help you in this great call that you received at your Baptism - the flesh and blood of the only Son of God. Eat and drink of Me,  ---- my own, and receive the life that God has always desired to give you in this Sacrament of Love. Be sealed in My Blood and in My Spirit and live.

MATTHEW 8:7 (2025)

 MATTHEW 8:7

Jesus said to him, ‘I will come and heal him.’

---- mine.

Call me by My Name and I will come to you. Ask and you will receive. Seek and you will find. Knock and the door will be opened to you. Do not doubt but pray with faith hope and confidence that the God of love who created you in love and desires nothing more than for you to be happy with Me in this life and eternally happy with Me in the next will withhold no good and perfect gift from My little ones. You are Mine, I have carved the names of all those who My Blood has purchased at the cost of My life. I now share this life with all those who desire it. Have confidence, ---- my own, that nothing you wish for your loved ones is greater than My desire to grant it to them. I will grant them life in its fullness. I will heal, I will bless, and you will praise Me in the company of all God's people. Have faith! Have courage! Have hope! and you will find rest for your soul in your faith, hope, trust, and love for Me.

EZEKIEL 39:28-29 (2025)

EZEKIEL 39:28-29

Then they shall know that I am the Lord their God because I sent them into exile among the nations, and then gathered them into their own land. I will leave none of them behind; and I will never again hide my face from them, when I pour out my spirit upon the house of Israel, says the Lord God.

---- mine,

I want you to know this in your inmost being that I AM God and I keep My promises. I have assured you time and time again that I will save all those for whom you plead every day. I have heard and I have answered. Yes, they walked away from Me deliberately but I have never ceased pursuing them and will do so relentlessly. I will bring them back from exile and place them under My protection among My flock. They will never stray away from Me again. Have faith ---- my own, this is God who speaks, let go of the burden causing you so much grief and anguish, and believe Me when I say to you that grace will be granted to them. I will uncover My Face to them and they will hear My Voice and respond to My invitation. I will pour out My Spirit on all them and they will acknowledge Me as their God and Lord. I came to call sinners to repentance and I will not rest until each one of them is home  They will never stray from Me again. I will bring them back to health healing them in every way they require healing in heart, mind, soul, body, and spirit. Have faith, pray with confidence they will come home and your heart will rejoice.

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,

All through your life My hands are stretched out to you inviting you into a closer, deeper, more intimate relationship with Me. I long to possess you so completely that there is no moment waking or sleeping when I AM not in your heart, mind, soul, body, and spirit. I want your every thought, every word, and every deed to be for My glory. I want you to love me with your whole heart, mind, soul, body, and strength. I want you to burn with love for Me, I want your whole being to be consumed by your love. I hunger and thirst for your love just as I desire you to hunger and thirst for Mine. The world is indifferent to Me, it either despises, ignores, or is ignorant of My  Gift of life, My salvation, purchased for the whole world at the cost of My humiliation, and degradation at the hands of evil. They do not know Me and they glory in their ignorance of the Truth that sets them free. This is why I beseech you to console Me with your love. Look at Me, ---- my own, on the Cross and ponder My agony, My passion on the way of sorrow on the streets of Jerusalem to the place of the skull. Ponder how the soldiers brutally and viciously goaded Me along the Way to the place where they stripped Me, naked threw Me on the wood of the Cross, and viciously struck the terrible blows that drove the large nails that pierced My hands and feet and finally piercing Me with a lance. Bleeding and dying I poured out My Life as an oblation in atoning sacrifice for the horrors that the world commits daily and are an affront to the Love of My Father and to Your Father and God. Turn your gaze on Me and comfort Me, love Me, do everything, endure everything, offer everything, for love of Me. Let My Name be constantly on your lips in tender loving bursts of praise, adoration, worship, and thanksgiving, and comfort Me. I will fill your soul with rich graces and blessings and I will bind you to Me with the most glorious chains of love and keep you bound to Me now and forever. Come, be Mine in time and in eternity.

ISAIAH 35:5-10 (2025)

ISAIAH 35:5-10

Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened,
and the ears of the deaf unstopped;
then the lame shall leap like a deer,
and the tongue of the speechless sing for joy.
For waters shall break forth in the wilderness,
and streams in the desert;
the burning sand shall become a pool,
and the thirsty ground springs of water;
the haunt of jackals shall become a swamp,
the grass shall become reeds and rushes.

A highway shall be there,
and it shall be called the Holy Way;
the unclean shall not travel on it,
but it shall be for God’s people;
no traveller, not even fools, shall go astray.
No lion shall be there,
nor shall any ravenous beast come up on it;
they shall not be found there,
but the redeemed shall walk there.
And the ransomed of the Lord shall return,
and come to Zion with singing;
everlasting joy shall be upon their heads;
they shall obtain joy and gladness,
and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.

---- mine,

Every prayer you have ever prayed for those you love, those you anguish over, those for whom you have sighed, shed many tears, and spent sleepless nights, and anxious days. They are close to your heart and their troubles have brought before Me with faith and confidence. They are seeing dark and sorrowful days and because of them, you come to Me on your knees with much lamentation and great sorrow. And as always, ---- my own, I assure you once again and I always will, that their days of wandering the wilderness will end. I have called them by name just as I have called you by name. 

Do not forget the length of time it took you to stop, listen, to My voice, and know that I would not give up on you no matter how far you ran from Me or hid from Me. I pursued you relentlessly until grace finally penetrated and from then on you have allowed Me to bring you little by little closer and closer to Me. I opened your eyes, and your ears, I have strengthened your weary limbs, I have rescued you over and over again, I took you by the hand and led you, I gave you my arm to lean on, My shoulder to weep on, I forgave all your sins and transgressions. I will do the same for those for whom you cry out to Me day after day.

Just as I pursued you I pursue them tirelessly, relentlessly, tenderly, and with compassion. There is nothing that My Father, I, the Holy Spirit, with all of the saints and angels in heaven desire more than to welcome the prodigal child home. Heaven rejoices at the return of the one who was lost and is found and there is great rejoicing over every sinner who comes home into the waiting arms of an infinitely loving and patient God. 

Fear not, ---- My own, continue to pray, to fast, and give alms with the confidence of a child, and in the end, your heart will rejoice and be glad for all My sheep will return to My fold. This is the will of My Father and yours. As He wills so it will be. 

THE WORD OF THE LORD,

Thanks be to God.

RUTH 3: 11A (2025)

RUTH 3: 11A

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

---- mine,

I have claimed you for Myself, You are Mine in time and eternity. I lay down My Life for you, I lay it down willingly to set you free. I paid your ransom, had I not, you would have lived and died in slavery to the evil one. Living and dying a slave to sin, you would have died in your sins. But God so loved you that He sent Me, His only Son, to pay the price of your redemption. Never forget that your life has been paid for at the cost of the life of the Sinless One. He who knew no sin became sin for you so you would not have to taste death but receive life in its fullness and become the righteousness of God. Pray, hope, and do not be anxious about anything. Look at the birds in the air and the flowers in the field, My Father cares for them all. Not a sparrow falls to the ground without My knowing it, and you, ---- my own, are worth more than many sparrows. I love you with an everlasting love. I call you Mine, I have carved your name on the palms of My Hands. Can't you read it in the scars made by the nails? By My wounds you are healed, you are forgiven, you are made whole, you are free, you are now a child of God and a citizen of Heaven. As a member of My Church, you are My Bride. Fear nothing, no one can snatch you from Me, not you nor anyone who is Mine. Have faith and pray with confidence. All is well for God is good and He never forsakes His own.

1 KINGS 17:13-16 (2025)

1 KINGS 17:13-16

Elijah said to her, ‘Do not be afraid; go and do as you have said; but first make me a little cake of it and bring it to me, and afterwards make something for yourself and your son. For thus says the Lord the God of Israel: The jar of meal will not be emptied and the jug of oil will not fail until the day that the Lord sends rain on the earth.’ She went and did as Elijah said, so that she as well as he and her household ate for many days. The jar of meal was not emptied, neither did the jug of oil fail, according to the word of the Lord that he spoke by Elijah.

---- mine,

Listen to what I ask of you and do exactly as I say just as the widow of Zarephath did. Do not be afraid to give, not of your excess, but all you have to live on. Do it with the faith of a little child, certain that your Father in Heaven will not withhold any good thing from you or those you love. It takes courage to have faith even when the night is dark, the storm is at its height and the way is hidden from view. It takes courage to give up the things you have leaned on for so long to give you confidence, the material things, the gifts you have been given, and using them as crutches. This is not the way the Lord, you must lean on Me, rely on Me, have confidence in Me, not on material things or any other abilities you may have. You can lose these in an instant and you will then have nothing to fall back on. Be prepared to gladly give away, to share with a glad heart and an expectant faith, knowing that I always keep my promise as I did to the widow. She shared her last meal with the prophet Elijah, and as promised, the jar of meal was not emptied, and neither did the jug of oil fail according to the Word of God. I AM the Bread of Life and I assure you your bread will not fail for as long as you have Me as your supernatural food. The Oil of the Holy Spirit will not run out but will gladden your heart and sustain you with every grace and blessing you need as you make your pilgrim journey from this life to the next. Have faith! Have courage! Be not afraid!

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

2 MACCABEES 15:21, 23, 27

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

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

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

---- mine,

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

ISAIAH 65:1, 24 (2025)

ISAIAH 65:1, 24

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

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

---- mine,

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

EZEKIEL 37:26-27 - 2025

EZEKIEL 37:26-27

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

---- mine,

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

JOSHUA 1:5-7 (2025)

JOSHUA 1:5-7

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

---- mine,

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

RUTH 3:8-9 (2025)

RUTH 3:8-9

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

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

---- mine,

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

SONG OF SONGS 1:1-4 (2025)

SONG OF SONGS 1:1-4

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

---- mine,

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

SONG OF SONGS 5:16, 6:3

SONG OF SONGS 5:16, 6:3

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

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

---- mine,

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

HOSEA 6:6 (2025)

HOSEA 6:6

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

---- mine,

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

TOBIT 12:8-10 (2025)

TOBIT 12:8-10

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

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

Almsgiving preserves from death; it purifies from all sin. 

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

but sinners only harm themselves. 

---- mine,

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

ISAIAH 58:9-11 (2025)

ISAIAH 58:9-11

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

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

---- mine,

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

PSALM 34:10B (2025)

PSALM 34:10B

The young lions suffer want and hunger,

but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.

---- mine,

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

SIRACH 24:19-21 (2025)

SIRACH 24:19-21

‘Come to me, you who desire me,

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

---- mine,

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

ZEPHANIAH 3:14-20 (2025)

 ZEPHANIAH 3:14-20 

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

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

---- mine,

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

ISAIAH 63:1 (2025)

ISAIAH 63:1

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

---- mine,

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

SONG OF SONGS 5:16

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

---- mine,

In Me, you will find all that is needful for this life to prepare you for the life to come.

In Me you will find the fullness of God's Truth, Wisdom, Beauty, Goodness, Power and above all Love.

I AM God from God, Light from Light true God from true God, in Me, ---- my own, you will find that the Word of God is sweet and a delight sweeter than honey. It is food and drink, and in Me you will find all that is delightful, tender, compassionate, merciful, and loving.

Do not take your gaze away from Me but remain in Me and my love.  Remain one in Me, with My Father, and you will possess the Holy Spirit who will lead you from darkness to eternal light.

Sin separates, sin kills, but do not despair, no matter how gravely you sin return to Me with a contrite heart and a humble spirit, and I will remove all your offences and cast them behind My back never to remember them anymore. Fear nothing, ---- my own, except eternal separation from the God of love who lay down His Life that you may live. Remain in My love.
