MARK 5:48, 50B, 51 (2025)

MARK 5:48, 50B, 51

Jesus saw his disciples straining at the oars, 
for the wind was against them; 
and before daybreak he came to them, walking on the lake, 
and he was going to pass them by. 
When they saw him walking on the lake, 
they thought it was a ghost and cried out; 
for they all saw him and were terrified. 
But, at once, he called to them, 
“Courage! It is I; don’t be afraid!” 
Then Jesus got into the boat with them, 
and the wind died down. 
They were completely astonished.

---- mine,

Every so often, storms will come into your life. This is not new to you; you have experienced trials, troubles, difficulties, heartache, heartbreak, grief, and loss at regular intervals in your life. Be grateful for all of them. They are not sent to punish you but to purify you, to make you strong to face the enemy. Every storm you face, do so with faith and with the sure knowledge that I AM right beside you. I will not allow the wind, the waves, or the storm to destroy you, causing you to perish; rather, you must know that at no time were you in danger. As high as the waves grow and toss you about, and no matter how strong the gale force of the wind threatens to crash against the boat and break it to pieces, this will not happen. I, the Lord your God, am with you, and even though it appears that I AM indifferent or unaware of your plight, I AM fully aware of the trials you face. My grace is enough for you. My Presence ensures that no matter what tricks the devil uses to destroy you, I have the final word. I will face the storm with you, and you will always hear Me cry out above the sound of the winds and the waves, “Courage! It is I; don’t be afraid!” The wind will die down and become a gentle breeze, and I will bring you in safety to the harbor of My Sacred Heart. Do you trust Me ---- my own? Do you trust My Word? Be not afraid!

ISAIAH 30:19-21 (2025)

ISAIAH 30:19-21

Truly, O people in Zion, inhabitants of Jerusalem, 
you shall weep no more. 
He will surely be gracious to you at the sound of your cry; 
when he hears it, he will answer you.
Though the Lord may give you the bread of adversity 
and the water of affliction, 
yet your Teacher will not hide himself anymore, 
but your eyes shall see your Teacher. 
And when you turn to the right or when you turn to the left, 
your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying,
“This is the way; walk in it.”

---- mine,

Once more, as I have done almost daily in the past, I assure you that the days for weeping and mourning for the return of your loved ones to the Way of Truth and Holiness are at an end. They will return to My House, they will glorify Me in the House of God, and My Father will be their Father. The God of Love will pour His love on them, and they will take their place as members of My Body. They will glorify Me in the assembly of God's people, and heaven will rejoice because they have come home. There will be only rejoicing, and the overwhelming sorrow you have experienced will come to an end, for I, the Lord your God, have heard you and I have granted you the dearest desire of your heart. Never will they be parted from Me. They will remain in Me and be fed by Me. Continue to pray with hope, ask, seek, and look forward with expectant faith for their return. Nothing delights the Father more than to answer the prayers of those who ask that His little ones come to a fuller understanding of the depths of His love for them. Each of you is precious in His sight, the work of His hands. There is no greater love in heaven or on earth than the love of the Father who did not hold back His only Son but gave Him up as a ransom for you, for your children, and for all whom you hold near and dear to your heart.

JEREMIAH 24:6-7 (2025

JEREMIAH 24:6-7

I will look kindly on them and bring them back to this land. 
I will restore and not destroy them, 
I will plant and not uproot them.
I will dispose their heart to know me as Lord. 
They will be my people and I will be their God 
for they will come back to me with all their heart.

---- mine,

All that I have said, I will do. I AM the Lord who saves, I AM the Christ, the Son of the Living God. I AM the Eternal Word of the Father, and it was to redeem and save that He sent Me into the world, not to condemn it but to redeem it, and the price for the redemption of the whole world was My Life. My Blood was spilled in atoning sacrifice, the only acceptable and pleasing sacrifice for the sins of the world. Nothing less could satisfy justice or restore the relationship between God and man, and close the chasm that was created by the first fall. See how much the Father loves you that He sent His only Son into the world. This is why you must have every confidence that every prayer prayed for any sinner will be heard, and they will return to the fold, and My Father will love them because I laid down My life for them. Have no fear, ---- my own, they will come home and they will take their place in My Body, and ultimately will be with Me eternally in the Kingdom of My Father. There is no greater power than the love of My Father for His little ones.

SIRACH 24:19-22 (2025)

SIRACH 24:19-22

Come to me, you who desire me 
and take your fill of my fruits. 
To experience me is sweeter than honey, 
and to possess me sweeter than any honeycomb. 
Those who eat me will hunger still; 
those who drink me will thirst for more. 
Those who obey me will not be put to shame; 
those who serve me will not fall into sin.

---- mine,

Come to Me. Hunger and thirst for Me alone and for nothing else in the created world. You were created by My Father for Me. I redeemed you, I saved you, I came in search for you over and over again when you were lost. I cajoled you with words of tenderness. I wooed you, and when you would not listen to Me, when your heart grew stubborn, and you ran away from Me because you preferred to sin, I did not give up on you but pursued you until I found you. When you refused to listen and there was danger of you doing great harm to your immortal soul, I punished you. I laid the cross on you, for only through suffering would you listen and return to Me and to My Sacred Heart. ---- my own, I love you with a love that is beyond anything you can ever fathom. I love you so much that I would lay down My life all over again if you were to be lost to Me forever. But you did return, you did repent, and now you plead for Me for the salvation of those you love. Do you imagine I will not hear you? Did I not long for your return as well? Do not be anxious, it pleases My Father to grant Me all I ask for, and I have asked that they will be saved and return to Me just as you returned to Me. I give you My Flesh to eat and My Blood to drink, and you feast at the Banquet of Love daily at Holy Mass. Nothing pleases Me more than to fill your mouth with the finest wheat, the Bread of Life, and to give you a taste of the sweetest wine, My Blood. Have no fear, but continue to pray and hope and offer all for the greater glory of God and for the hastening of My Kingdom. Be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.

MATTHEW 25:44-46 (2025)

MATTHEW 25:44-46

They, too, will ask, 
‘Lord, when did we see you hungry, thirsty, 
naked or a stranger, sick or in prison, 
and did not help you?’ 
The king will answer them, 
‘Truly I say to you: 
just as you did not do it for one of the least of these, 
you did not do it for me.’ 
And these will go into eternal punishment; 
but the just, to eternal life.”

---- mine,

It is good to be vigilant, to keep your ears and eyes open to those in need. Do not close your heart and allow the ugliness of the world to dictate how you ought to feel toward those less fortunate than yourself. Too many are left unheard, unattended, and ignored because the cynicism of the world has penetrated hearts that ought to be like Mine. Pray constantly, allowing the Holy Spirit to direct your ways, speak to your heart, and guide you. Remember that the least kindness shown to those whom the world rejects and despises, marginalizes and shoves out of sight, I will consider as done to Me. And when you stand before Me to be judged, you will have to give a strict account of how you treated those whom I sent into your life to witness to Me and to My love. Seek Me in those that you would rather not see because it would cost too much. Overcome your fears, your prejudices, your natural human instinct that flinches from the reality of the poverty, suffering, and the degradation of those abandoned by the selfish cruelty and deliberate blindness of those who callously refuse to get involved. Whatever you do or do not do to the least of My little ones, is done to Me. Pray for the grace to always look for Me and find Me in everyone you encounter each day and minister to Me in them.

SIRACH 2:3-6 (2025)

SIRACH 2:3-6

Hold fast to the Lord, do not separate yourself from him
 
so that you may be successful to the end of your days. 
Accept all that happens to you, 
be patient when you are humbled, 
for as gold is tested in the fire, 
so those acceptable to God are tested 
in the crucible of humiliation.
Have confidence in him and he will take care of you; 
follow the right path and hope in him.



---- mine,

I understand that you grow weary and wonder when I will answer your prayers, ease your burdens, bring your children home to Me, and your heart will be filled with joy. You long for the day when laughter will burst forth from you because you cannot contain the glorious happiness of knowing that they are saved. As I have assured you often, you must wait on My time, and while you wait, continue to pray and hope without anxiety, confident in the knowledge that all you ask for with tears, prayers, supplication, and fasting, will be granted to you. However, you must wait patiently for Me to act. I know best. At a time chosen by Me and in the manner decided by Me, every good and perfect gift will be bestowed on them and on you. Have faith. Remain in My Presence. Do not allow doubt to dim your hope or fear to steal your trust in Me. I AM the Eternal Word of God, and it is the will of My Father that not one of His little ones be lost. He who watches over the birds in the air and the flowers in the field will certainly look after His little ones, His sons and daughters. All will be well. Trust Me! Trust My Word.

PSALM 17:4B-8 (2025)

PSALM 17:4B-8

I call on you, you will answer me, 
O God; incline your ear and hear my word. 
For you do wonders for your faithful, 
you save those fleeing from the enemy 
as they seek refuge at your right hand. 
Keep me as the apple of your eye; 
under the shadow of your wings hide me.

---- mine,

Yes, when you call on Me, I will answer you. I will keep every one of the promises I have made to you. Every assurance that I give you, you can count on. I keep My Word always.  I AM God and the Son of God and the Son of Man. I came that you and all who believe in Me will have life in its fullness. In this life, ---- my own, you will trouble and sorrow, heartache and heartbreak, you will walk in the valley of tears, but I will always be with you. I AM yoked to you. I will go ahead of you, I will walk behind you, I will be to your right and your left, I will be above and below you, and most importantly, I will abide in you. You have nothing to fear; fear paralyses. Fear has no place in the life of those who are grafted onto My Body and are its members. I give you My Life, I give you My Flesh to eat and My Blood to drink. No harm will come to you, for My mighty protection covers you. I have appointed angels to guard you and your loved ones because you are Mine. You are the apple of my eye, you are my sheep, and I AM your Shepherd, and no one has the power to snatch from Me what I have declared to be Mine. Rejoice and be glad and remain always in My love.

PSALM 143:1-10 (2025)

PSALM 143:1-10

Lord, hear my prayer, listen to my cry for mercy; answer me; you, who are righteous and faithful. 
Do not bring your servant to judgment; for no mortal is just in your sight.
The enemy has pursued me, crushing my life to the ground, sending me to darkness, with those long dead.
And so my spirit fails me; my heart is full of fear.
I remember the days of long ago; I meditate on what you have done, and consider the work of your hand. 
I stretch out my hands to you, and thirst for you, like a parched land. 
O Lord, answer me quickly: my spirit is faint with yearning. Do not hide your face from me; save me from going down to the pit. 
Let the dawn bring me word of your love; for in you alone, I put my trust. Show me the way I should walk, for to you I lift up my soul. 
Rescue me from my enemies, O Lord, for to you, I flee for refuge. 
Teach me to do your will, for you are my God. Let your Spirit lead me on a safe path.

---- mine,

This is your prayer to Me morning after morning. You come to Me before dawn, and you cry out to Me, pouring out all your fears for the life of your children and those you love, begging Me to draw them away from the dark path they are on that leads them further and further away from Me and their eternal home. You plead before Me with sighs and tears, and you reveal to Me the wounds of your heart. I hear you, ---- my own, I always hear you. Do you believe that your concern for their souls is greater than My own, or that of My Father? You could not possibly be more sorrowful than I or My Father that they have strayed. But in the end, I will save them as I have assured you time and again. Your prayers are heard and answered, as well as the prayers of all who love them and pray for their conversion. They will return to the Way that is Life through their embracing of the Truth who suffered, died, and was crucified for love of all. Pray with faith, with hope, and do not be anxious about anything. Nothing pleases My Father more than to grant the prayers and supplications of those who pray according to His will. They will be saved. My Holy Spirit, which is given to every baptized soul, will triumph, and the Blood I shed for each of them will not be in vain. Have no fear. Your Spouse will not fail you. I never have and never will, because My love for you is everlasting. Have I not declared you to be Mine? So too do I declare them to be Mine as well. Keep your gaze fixed on Me always, just as Mine is on you, always.

NAHUM 3:7-8 (2025)

NAHUM 3:7-8

The Lord is good, a stronghold in a day of trouble;
he protects those who take refuge in him,
even in a rushing flood.
He will make a full end of his adversaries,
and will pursue his enemies into darkness.

---- mine,

I know My own and My own know Me. They recognize my voice for they know their Shepherd who watches over them, takes them to cool green pastures, and makes them lie in the shade beside cool, running streams. I, the Good Shepherd, lay down My life for My sheep, and they follow Me. You and those you love also belong to My sheepfold. Be not afraid, I have claimed each of you, you are Mine. I care for you, I feed you, I wash away every stain of sin and heal your wounds. I have declared before heaven that you belong to Me and no power can snatch what is Mine. I have inscribed My  Name on your soul, and your name is written on the palm of My hand. Do not be afraid of those who kill the body and can do nothing else. Your enemies are my enemies. I will not permit the wolves to steal, plunder, and murder what is Mine. Remain in Me. Remain in My love and you will have nothing to fear. Be still, and now that I AM God, I AM the Eternal Word of My Father, and My Holy Spirit has sealed you in the love of God. Have no fear, ---- my own, I have overcome the world and I share My victory with those who are Mine.

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,

I know that you hunger and thirst for Me. I see you. My gaze is always on you. I am with you, and I watch over you through the night. When you lie on your bed and your heart speaks to Me and pours out your love for Me and you make known to Me the desires of your soul, hear you for I AM with you within you; in your heart, mind, soul, in your body, and your spirit. Although you do not always feel My Presence, I AM with you. I have seen your tears, I have heard your lamentations, I have picked up the pieces of your heart broken with sorrow for those you love, who have distanced themselves from Me. You are fearful for their salvation. It breaks your heart that they have drifted so far from the path that leads to Life and Truth. Keep praying with longing and sorrow, but know this as well: you cannot long for their return to My sheepfold more than I do, or My Father, or the Holy Spirit, and My Mother as well, all the angels and saints. Heaven rejoices at the return of every sinner, so continue to pray and hope, have faith, and do not worry. It pleases My Father to give the Kingdom to all who ask Him, so continue to ask, to seek, and to knock. Your prayers have been heard, and at a time favorable to God, you will see the fruit of your prayers and your sacrifices. Be of good cheer, ---- my own, I have overcome the world.

SONG OF SONGS 3:4b (2025)

SONG OF SONGS 3:4b

I found the love of my heart.
I held him and would not let him go.

---- mine,

Long before dawn, you come to Me faithfully morning after morning, to spend time with Me. To talk to Me, tell Me your fears, anxieties, and plead with Me for the salvation of your own soul and the souls of those you love. You bring all their needs to Me, asking Me to grant them all they need to live holy lives pleasing to God and to finally bring you home to the place God has prepared for each of you eternally. I hear you, I always hear you, and My heart is moved to tender compassion for you. As I have assured you always, someday where I AM you all shall be. Take heart. Now that you have taken hold of Me, remain with Me. Do not let go. I assure you that I will never let you go. I have declared you to be Mine. I declare that everyone you love and plead for daily is Mine as well. Be of good cheer, ---- my own, nothing pleases Me more, nothing delights the Father more, nothing gives us greater joy than in pouring into your souls the fullness of joy and delight of the Holy Spirit. He will keep you always united to the Father and to Me with cords of love that can never be broken. Have faith, all is well.

Lord, be merciful to us! We wait for you.
Give us strength each morning.
Deliver us when distress comes.

---- mine,

Come to Me, rest in Me, abide in Me, live in Me, have your being in Me, and I will be with you always. Do not be troubled or distressed about anything. Morning after morning, I fill you with My love, My peace, My Presence, My Holy Spirit. Fear nothing, ---- my own, know that I love you with a love that is beyond anything you can ever comprehend. I lay down my life so you may live, and not just you but all those you love, cherish, and whom you bring before Me with sighs, tears, and sorrow. I hear you, I always hear you, and at a time of My choosing, a most favorable time, I who have heard you will answer you. Fear nothing except eternal separation from Me

EXODUS 23:20-22 (2025)

EXODUS 23:20-22

I am going to send an angel in front of you, to guard you on the way and to bring you to the place that I have prepared. Be attentive to him and listen to his voice; do not rebel against him, for he will not pardon your transgression; for my name is in him. But if you listen attentively to his voice and do all that I say, then I will be an enemy to your enemies and a foe to your foes.

---- mine,

My Father has appointed a special guardian angel over every soul He created. Each is charged to watch over those entrusted to them. Your Guardian Angel is with you always, and he is before Me as well. He is My messenger carrying all My blessings and every answer to your prayers, as well as all My instructions and directions for your life to you, and He carries back to Me all your prayers of petition, thanksgiving, praise, adoration, and worship. He brings Me all your tears, our sighs. He admonishes you and prevents you from straying from the path mapped out for you, which leads to Me. Listen to him. Be attentive, and he will make known to you all that I desire to make known to you. If you do not stray but allow him to lead you and guide you, and if you remain in the shadow of his wings, you can be certain that he will succeed in the mission given to him which is to ensure that you, from the moment of your conception till you draw you last breath are shepherded in safety until you come home to Me eternally. Pray to him and pray to the angels appointed to those you love as well to plead their cause before the throne of Mercy and Grace, and do not be anxious or afraid, all that you ask for is what the Father desires to give. In heaven, it is a matter of great rejoicing when the Sacrifice of My love brings forth a great harvest of souls. There, they desire that not a single soul who was purchased by My Blood should be lost. Pray, hope, and do not be anxious about anything, it pleases My Father to grant to all for My sake, a share in the Kingdom of Heaven.

EZEKIEL 16:8-14 (2025)

EZEKIEL 16:8-14

I passed by you again and looked on you; you were at the age for love. I spread the edge of my cloak over you, and covered your nakedness: I pledged myself to you and entered into a covenant with you, says the Lord God, and you became mine. Then I bathed you with water and washed off the blood from you, and anointed you with oil. I clothed you with embroidered cloth and with sandals of fine leather; I bound you in fine linen and covered you with rich fabric. I adorned you with ornaments: I put bracelets on your arms, a chain on your neck, a ring on your nose, earrings in your ears, and a beautiful crown upon your head. You were adorned with gold and silver, while your clothing was of fine linen, rich fabric, and embroidered cloth. You had choice flour and honey and oil for food. You grew exceedingly beautiful, fit to be a queen. Your fame spread among the nations on account of your beauty, for it was perfect because of my splendor that I had bestowed on you, says the Lord God.

---- mine,

I who created you, love you. You were created by Love for love. I claimed you for Myself. I, who am the Lord and giver of all that is holy, good, true, and beautiful, have lavished My most precious gifts over you. I washed you in the life-giving waters of Baptism, and I have cleansed your sins with My Blood that flows from My pierced Side. By My wounds you are healed of every sin, infirmity, weakness, and frailty. I, the Lord your God, have called you by your name. I have declared you to be Mine. I have not only cleansed you of original sin, but I strengthen you through the Sacraments. I feed you with My Flesh and adorn you with virtues, and the Holy Spirit is given to you to abide in you and help you to strive after holiness and perfection to be pleasing to God, your Father, who is sublime holiness and perfection. I have covered you with My goodness and mercy, and I have drawn you in the intimacy of a bridegroom for his bride. I AM espoused to you, and I desire that you walk in the Way that I have marked for you, in the Way of the Cross. Place your steps in Mine, and you will walk without fear in the valley of the shadow of death until you reach the place that My Father has created for you in the Kingdom. Do not permit the world to beguile you and lure you from the path that I have mapped out for you. Keep your soul free of sin and strive to never give in, even to the smallest imperfection. As you walk in this valley of tears, preserve your soul and remain faithful to Me, the Bridegroom of your soul. Fear nothing, I will provide all the help you need if you cling to Me and never let go of My right hand, which holds you fast. Trust Me to lead you through the trials and all the temptations that will assail you, and I will preserve you and carry you until you reach the end of your pilgrim journey on earth. Trust Me and have faith, the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to those who are children of God, and you are a daughter of the Most High and coheir with Me to the Kingdom of Heaven.

RUTH 3:9 (2025)

RUTH 3:9

He said, “Who are you?” 
And she answered,
 “I am Ruth, your servant; 
spread your cloak over your servant, 
for you are next-of-kin.”

---- mine,

Do you know who you are? You are my own. I have called you out of darkness into my own marvelous light. I have known you in time and in eternity. You were first formed before time ever was in the heart and mind of My heavenly Father. He formed you in your mother's womb. He shaped you. He chose your features. He knit and He delighted in creating you. You are loved, ---- my own, more than you can ever understand or comprehend. My Father loved you so greatly and desired so ardently to ensure that you come spend eternity with Him in heaven, that He sent Me into the world to be your Savior. I have redeemed you with My Life and I lay claim to you whom I have ransomed not only for My Father's sake but also for My own. I will lay the borders of My Mantle over you and I will protect you. I do more than that, I have made a place for you alone in My Sacred Heart and this place is your forever. Do not be afraid, not for yourslf or for those you pray for. I have heard your prayers and I will answer every one of them and you will rejoice and be glad and you will praise and adore Me and your joy no one will ever take from you. The time for sorrow and tears have ended now is the time to rejoice and be glad for all that the Lord your God, the Bridegroom of your Soul has done for you and is doing for you because I love you.

LUKE 18:40-43 (2025)

LUKE 18:40-43

Jesus stopped, and ordered the blind man to be brought to him; 
and when he came near, Jesus asked him, 
“What do you want me to do for you?” 
And the man said, “Lord, that I may see!” 
Jesus said, “Receive your sight, your faith has saved you.”
At once the blind man was able to see, 
and he followed Jesus, giving praise to God.
And all the people who were there also praised God.

---- mine,

Every day, morning after morning, hours before dawn, you come to Me, cry out to Me, call Me, Lord, Lord, and you offer up all your joys, sorrows, trials, worries, and fears to Me.  Through the day, you remember Me, you linger a while with Me, and your soul unites with Me. And every single time, ---- my own, I hear you, and stop, for I hear not only you but all who are praying and interceding on your behalf. I ask that you be brought to Me, into My Presence, and each time I ask you as I asked blind Bartimaeus, "What do you want Me to do for you?" I can see you are blind. I know what your heart desires; tender compassion for you fills Me when you cry out to Me for help, grace, relief in the suffering of those you love. But I desire you to humbly bring your troubles to Me and tell Me what you want Me to do for you. I do this so I can listen to your voice, touch you, comfort you, hold you close to Me, and assure you over and over again that I will do for you all you ask of Me. I will say to you as I said to Bartimaeus, "Receive all you ask for in faith."  And you will rejoice and praise Me, and you will follow Me and remain close to Me always.

ESTHER 15:9-12 (2025)

ESTHER 15:9-12

“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.”

---- mine,

What is it? What troubles you? What makes you so sad and anxious? Why is your soul troubled? Why do you walk about disconsolate as if you did not have Me, the Eternal Word of God, as your Brother, your Spouse, the Bridegroom of your Soul, your Soul's Beloved? Why? Do you not have confidence in the One whom you call Savior, Redeemer, the Christ, the Anointed One, the Lord of Lords, and the King of Kings? Lift up your head and walk in the freedom that belongs to the children of God. Do not be afraid, you have nothing to fear. The power of God, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit are bestowed on you, and you are called by name. Not only have I called you by your name and declared you to be Mine, I have written your name on the palm of my hand. See for yourself, look on My Pierced and open side. Come, I have taken you by the hand and have led you to the place in My Heart which is reserved for you alone. You are neither a widow nor an orphan, for you are espoused to Me forever. God, the Eternal Father, is your Father, your Abba, Your Papa, your Daddy God. Be filled with My Holy Spirit, the same Spirit that was given to you at your Baptism, and be filled with the joy that comes from the knowledge that you and those you love are saved, redeemed, and sanctified. One day, you will come to Me and remain with Me, My Father, the Holy Spirit, My Mother, and all the angels and saints in perfect joy and bliss eternally. Be of good cheer, I have overcome the world. Be not afraid, fear destroys love, overcomes, and causes life to flourish in fullness and abundance. And always remember, you, ---- my own are loved and beloved by the Son of God and the Son of Man in time and eternally.

JOB 8:21 (2025)

JOB 8:21

He will yet fill your mouth with laughter,
and your lips with shouts of joy.

---- mine,

This is My assurance and My promise to you, and I always keep My promises. The day is coming when you will be filled with joy, your heart will be unable to contain it, and you will bubble forth with laughter from your lips. Your whole being will radiate the joy and peace of the Lord, and praise of God will burst forth with songs of joy, adoration, praise, and worship to God who alone is King and before whose mighty power and glorious goodness and generosity you will be awestruck  For the Lord is good and kind and He loves His little ones with a tenderness and compassion beyond anything you can ever dream of. This is why I taught you to address Him as Abba, Father, Papa, Daddy God. He created you in love, and He ensured that after the trials of this present life on earth, through the power of My salvation and redemption on the Cross, you will receive a share in the glory of My Resurrection. This is how much the Father loves you that He did not spare Me, His only Son, to come into the world clothed in human flesh, experiencing every hardship, heartbreak, sorrow and grief, deprivation, suffering, betrayal and ultimate death so you and all those you love and prayer for will be saved and spend eternity with Him in Paradise. Rejoice, ---- my own, it pleases My Father to make you coheir with Me, and I rejoice too, for I AM the Bridegroom of your soul and nothing will make Me more joyful than to be one with you now and forever.

ISAIAH 45:22-25 (2025)

ISAIAH 45:22-25

Turn to me and be saved, all you from the ends of the earth, 
for I am God and there is no other. 
By my own self I swear it, 
and what comes from my mouth is truth, 
a word I say will not be revoked. 
Before me every knee will bend, by me every tongue will swear, 
saying, “In the Lord alone are righteousness and strength.” 
All who have raged against him will come to him in shame
But through the Lord there will be victory and glory 
to the people of Israel.

---- mine,

Trust Me when I say that all will be well. In my time and according to my will, all that you ask of me, I will give you, and even more than you could ask for or imagine. Not a Word that issues forth from Me will return without accomplishing all that I intend it to. All will be done for you and for those you love according to the will of My Father, who has loved you with a love beyond all imagining. All will be well, ---- my own. Believe it. Know that nothing is impossible for Me and nothing pleases Me more than to bless you with every grace and blessing and to grant all you ask of Me for those you love, for I love them too, more than you ever could. They are Mine just as surely as you are Mine. You belong to the family of God, each of you who are baptized and grafted into My Body. It is My Life that flows from Me to them, and it is My Spirit that is alive in them. So do not worry, do not be anxious, do not be afraid, it pleases My Father, for My sake, to give each of you a share in My inheritance. Be of good cheer, for I have overcome the world.

JOHN 3:29A, 30 (2025)

JOHN 3:29A, 30

Only the bridegroom has the bride. 
It is necessary that he increase but that I decrease.

---- mine,

Pay close attention to these words of John the Baptist. Let them penetrate deep into your soul. Ask My Holy Spirit to reveal to you what they mean, and let the truth, beauty, and joy of what they say resonate in you and bring you to a proper understanding of our relationship. I AM the Bridegroom of your soul, for I AM the Bridegroom of My Church. I AM its Head and you are members of My Body. You belong to Me, I have claimed you for Myself. You are Mine. Ponder the meaning of what the Words of Sacred Scripture are conveying to you today. Be still, listen to the Holy Spirit speaking, listen, understand, and rejoice. You are My bride. I have chosen you to be Mine. Give your whole being to Me completely, yield joyfully to Me, open yourself to receive every good and perfect gift that I will pour into your soul in full measure, pressed down, and running over. Be so filled with Me that there is no room for anything else or anyone else in your life. I desire to be your all-in-all. Ask and I will give you every grace, every spiritual help, every gift of the Holy Spirit so you can bloom, prosper, grow, and bear abundant good fruit for My glory and the glory of My Kingdom. Ponder with joy this truth: I AM the Bridegroom, you are My bride. Yes, you speak the truth when you respond, saying that you are a foolish, worthless creature, but you are Mine, and I raise you up, and I freely share with you all that is Mine. Nothing pleases Me more than to do this because I love you. Do not worry that you give Me so little in return, every day give Me the little that you can, but give it daily and slowly, but surely you will be giving Me all that I ask of you. Little by little, and day by day, be faithful in the little things that's all you need to do, and in time you will gain mastery over yourself by weeding out your imperfections and you will share in the victory and triumph I won for you over sin and death.

LUKE 6:46-48 (2025)

LUKE 6:46-48

Why do you call me, ‘Lord! Lord!’ and do not do what I say? 
I will show you what the one is like, who comes to me, 
and listens to my words, and acts accordingly.
That person is like the builder who dug deep, 
and laid the foundations of his house on rock. 
The river overflowed, and the stream dashed against the house, 
but could not carry it off because the house had been well built.

---- mine,

What good is it for you to make pretty promises to Me, call Me endearing names, and say you love Me and appreciate and are grateful for all I have done for you when you will not listen to Me and obey My commandments and do everything in your power to be pleasing to Me in all things? What kind of love is it that is so shallow, so full of self-interest, and concupiscence, so readily gives in to the lures of the world, the flesh, and the Enemy? How can you ever believe, even for a moment, that the pale thing you offer Me is love? You want to know what true Love is? You will know and recognize it by the love My Father has shown Me and in  My reciprocal love to Him. You have received the same power to love because I have sent you My Holy Spirit to dwell in you. You have witnessed the power of this love in the lives of holy men and women who lived lives of heroic holiness. The lives of the saints are a mirror of the love of God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. They have seen what divine love cost and endured for the sake of the human race, and they have been extraordinarily moved to offer Me as pure and holy a love no matter the cost, and they have submitted in surrendering love, yielding to My will in all things. No demand of love they found too great. They refused to give in to the temptations of the Enemy, who tried to lure them from Me. Instead, they died little by little day by day to themselves and fully embraced the will of the Father and My will for their lives. This is love, ---- my own, to willingly, gladly, promptly,  obediently, and actively seek to put the good of the other before your own. If you call Me your Soul's Beloved and the Bridegroom of your Soul, how is it that you do so little, so poorly, and so feebly what true love demands?

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,

What I said to Daniel then, I say to you now, today, and every day for as long as you live on earth and eternally with Me in heaven. I love you with an everlasting love. You are mine. I called you by your name. I lifted you up from the mire. I washed you and cleansed you with My Blood. I have quenched your thirst with life-giving water streaming from My pierced side. I have given you My own flesh to eat, and I strengthen you daily in the Holy Eucharist. I have made you a member of My Body; you belong to My Church, My Bride. Never forget, ---- my own, how greatly you are loved. Do not let the troubles of this life or anything else that the world or the people in it do to you, no matter who they may be, affect you. Keep this truth ever before you: you belong to Me. I have sealed you in My Holy Spirit. I have marked you with the Sign of My Cross, I have declared that you belong to Me in time and in eternity. Walk with confidence, fearlessly, boldly, lift up your head and gaze serenely and calmly at all you meet, every and everything you experience today and every day. Let the whole world know what heaven knows, I, your Soul's Beloved, have called you out of darkness into My own marvelous light. Remain in my Light. Remain in Me and I will remain in you always. Let nothing trouble you, no power can wrest from Me what I have declared is Mine and you are Mine.

SONG OF SONGS 8:6-7 (2025)

SONG OF SONGS 8:6-7

Set me as a seal on your heart, 
set me as a seal on your arm. 
For love is strong as death; 
its jealousy lasting as the power of death, 
it burns like a blazing fire, 
it blazes like a mighty flame.
No flood can extinguish love nor river submerge it. 
If a man were to buy love with all the wealth of his house, 
contempt is all he would purchase.

---- mine,

I love you with a love beyond anything you can comprehend either in this life or the next. You are known by My Father. You were conceived in the mind and heart of God even before He laid the foundations of the world. He longed for you. He fashioned you. He planned a life for you filled with grace, joy, beauty, and peace. He prepared a place for you in His Kingdom. He brooded over you, for He knew that you, who would be conceived in sin, would allow concupiscence to have its way with you and lead you away from Him. He grieved over you and could not bear being separated from you by your own foolishness and weakness. So He sent Me, His only, beloved Son, into the world to redeem you from the clutches of the evil one and to pay the price of your redemption. And I did because I love you in the same way that My Father does. I lay down My life so you could receive it anew and rise with Me. I have given you My Holy Spirit so you do not have to struggle against the wiles of the world, the flesh, and the devil alone. He is your powerful Helper. Ask and you will receive, seek and you will find, knock and the door will be opened to you. For no one who asks, seeks, and knocks will be denied access to the Kingdom of God and all its treasures. Receive your inheritance, ---- my own, for it was won for you on and those you love at the cost of the life of the Son of God and the Son of Man. Love God with your whole heart, your whole mind, and your whole strength, and love your neighbor as yourself.  Trust Me in all things and do not worry, for worry, fear, and anxiety are useless. Trust in Me with all your heart, and you will experience miracles beyond your imagination. Believe, rejoice, and be glad, for it pleases My Father to make you co-heir with Me to the Kingdom of Heaven.

MATTHEW 12:49-50 (2025)

MATTHEW 12:49-50

Then Jesus pointed to his disciples and said, 
“Look! Here are my mother and my brothers.
Whoever does the will of my Father in heaven 
is my brother and sister and mother.”

---- mine,

Nothing in heaven or on earth is greater than doing the will of My Father in heaven; all else pales before this. In heaven, all the angels are in perfect accord with His will, and every saint has known that there is no easier way to perfect union with God than to seek above all else to discern My Father's will and do it. If you wish to live ---- my own, seek to die to yourself, to your desires, all that clamors within you for fulfilment, and instead lift up your eyes to My Father in heaven and ask the Holy Spirit dwelling within you to reveal the Father's will for you. And what is My Father's will? It is to know Me, whom He has sent into the world to make Him and His love visible and tangible to you. How did I do this? by embracing His will and in obedience to it, coming into the world as one like you, taking on human flesh from the Woman chosen by God to give Me a Body. In My Body, I received every sin ever committed by the human race from the first to the last into My own flesh, My soul, My spirit, and I made perfect atonement for every one of them so you could approach My Father without condemnation from Him. Because the Father has done this for you in giving up His only Son to make atonement for your sins, there is nothing more important or more imperative for you at all times, everywhere, and in all circumstances, to humbly seek the will of My Father in heaven and do it. Anyone who wishes to be My brother, sister, or mother must first embrace My Father's will as comprehensively as My Mother did. She is the Woman now clothed with the Sun, for whom doing the will of God was food and drink just as it was for Me. Seek His will, ---- my own, in all things and do it. Nothing is more pleasing to Me when you do.

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 Yahweh 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,

I have spoken, and My Word is true. No longer will either you or those you love, those for whom you plead with Me before dawn has begun to illumine the night sky, be forsaken, for I have declared you and each one of them to be Mine. I have heard your prayers. I have seen your tears and collected each one of them. Your prayers are always before Me. I have collected the broken pieces of your heart, and I assure you, I will answer you, and your heart will be healed. How can I not hear you when all I desire is the salvation of every one of those who are Mine, whom the Father created for Me? I will not let a single one of those My Father has given Me be lost. You, ---- my own, are My delight. I love you with a love beyond all telling. I have called you by your name, and I have carved not just your name but the names of all you love on the palm of My hands. I delight in you, I take pleasure in your love, I will hold you in My love and in My Name forever. Yes, I am the Bridegroom of your soul,  I AM your soul's beloved, and I delight greatly in your love for Me. Remain in My love and continue to pray, to hope, and do not worry; it pleases My Father to give Me all I ask for, and according to His good pleasure, every knee will bow and every tongue will confess to His glory that I AM Lord. I save.

ESTHER 5:3

ESTHER 5:3

The king asked, 
"What is it, Queen Esther? 
Tell me what you wish. 
Even if it half of my kingdom, I will give it to you."

---- mine,

What is it you desire Me to give you, daughter of the Father, child of God, and heir to the Kingdom of Heaven? What do you desire of Me, you who belong to Me and have a share with Me in My office as priest, prophet, and king? You who belong to the family of God and whom I have claimed as My bride, for you are a member of My Body, the Church, you in whom the Holy Spirit has made His dwelling place, and who is at work in you to make you fit for the glory that is to come? What is it that you desire Me to do for you as you come before Me morning after morning and prostrate before Me with a broken, sad, and sorrowful heart? Do you not know, ---- my own, that you have claim over My whole Heart and that I love you with a love beyond your ability to comprehend, that I would die again for you if it were needed? Why are you living as an orphan, a widow, you who call God Father, who call Me your Soul's Beloved, and the Bridegroom of your soul, and who has received the fullness of the Holy Spirit from the moment of your Baptism? Lift up your head, walk in the knowledge of who you are, and ask Me for all that you desire. Nothing pleases Me more than to grant you all that you ask for, especially since what you ask is what I long wholeheartedly to give. Yes, they will be saved, and the day is coming when you will all together praise, honor, and glorify Me with great rejoicing. Have no fear, I Am God and I save by the power of My Name. Have faith and all that you ask for in prayer with thanksgiving, believing in your heart that you have already received it, will be granted to you. The day is near when, having received all you have asked for in prayer, will be granted to you, and you will praise God and glorify Me.

PSALM 31:21-24 (2025)

PSALM 31:21-24

Blessed be the Lord,
    for he has wondrously shown his steadfast love to me
    when I was beset as a city under siege.
 I had said in my alarm,
    “I am driven far[d] from your sight.”
But you heard my supplications
    when I cried out to you for help.

 Love the Lord, all you his saints.
    The Lord preserves the faithful,
    but abundantly repays the one who acts haughtily.
 Be strong, and let your heart take courage,
    all you who wait for the Lord.

---- mine,

Never forget, even for an instant, that I AM God and I keep My Word. I have spoken, and all that I have said I will do for you, I WILL DO. Be still and know that I AM God. I AM the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I uphold all things and sustain all things by the power of My Word and the Breath of the Holy Spirit. The God of love who created you and all those you love in love and has destined you for glory in Me will ensure that in the end, each of your loved ones will ultimately repent of their sins. They will be washed clean in My Blood, they will receive once again the Living Waters, and they will be cleansed and strengthened by My Body and Blood, which gives life. Do not be afraid, ---- my own, all that you ask of Me in faith will be given to you, for all you desire is what God desires as well - the salvation of all His children. Continue to pray, fast, give alms, and be joyful and at peace. Remain in My love. Keep your gaze fixed on Me. Know that I AM God and that I love you. I love you. Remain in My love.

MATTHEW 18:12-14 (2025)

MATTHEW 18:12-14

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,

What do you think of this, ---- my own? Would you say it is beyond the realms of practicality for a shepherd to risk the ninety-nine for the sake of the one? Do you think the lives of the ninety-nine who are in the fold are enough to console the shepherd for the loss of one? No, I tell you. I AM the Good Shepherd. I will not rest until I find the stray who is cold, lost, sick, hungry, hurt, afraid, and dying to perish alone in the wilderness. I will come after the lost one, and I will not rest until I find that precious little one. When I have found it, I will pick it up, caress it,  bathe it in tears of joy, caress it, whisper all kinds of endearments to it, and assure it that I AM not angry at its foolish recklessness in leaving the safety of the fold and wandering on its own. So do not be anxious, instead, ---- my own, you who remain among the faithful flock in the fold, continue to pray with a burden on your heart for the salvation of those you love. I, on My part, assure you that I will not rest until each one of those you pray for is found and restored. This is My Word given to you, and My Word is true. It is the same yesterday, today, and forever. The Son of Man came to seek and save the lost, and this I will do according to My promise. Pray, hope, and do not be anxious about anything, it pleases My Father to give all His little ones a share in His Kingdom.
