SIRACH 51:11 (2026)

SIRACH 51:11

My prayer was heard; you saved me from destruction and rescued me from a dire situation. That is why I will give you thanks, praise, and bless the name of the Lord.


---- my own,

I want you to know that I hear you; I always hear you. Whether your cry is one of distress, a cry for help, a cry of surrender, or a cry for grace to embrace my will in a difficult situation—in every circumstance, no matter what it may be—I hear you, my own. I always hear you.I am closer to you than your breath. I abide in you, and you in Me. I know you intimately; I feel your pain. I know when you are joyful and sad, when you are distressed and in sorrow, when you are anxious and fearful, and when you feel less than generous and experience impatience. I know all, and I am always here to help you, to listen to you, and to help you carry all your joys and sorrows—to share them with you. 

I am yoked to you, and all that concerns you is of absolute and complete concern to Me. Come to Me when you are heavy-burdened and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Lean on Me. Come and rest in My Sacred Heart, and let My love, mercy, and compassion embrace you, cover you, and hold you while you nestle safely and securely in Me.

Fear nothing, my own. Fear nothing that man can do to you; fear only Me, and let this fear be holy and reverent. I am with you always. I have chosen you to be Mine now and forever. In all the trials and tribulations of life, I am here. I am with you. Trials are necessary, suffering is necessary, and through it all, I am in union with you. My love and my grace will see you through it all, for I will ensure that all things work for your good and the good of those you love.

ESTHER 5:3 (2026)

ESTHER 5:3

And the king said to her: What wilt then, queen Esther? what is thy request? if thou shouldst even ask one half of the kingdom, it shall be given to thee.

---- my own,

Ask, and you will receive; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you. Ask for whatever you wish, and I will give it to you. Ask for the Holy Spirit for yourself and those you love. Ask for the grace to align your will to Mine.
Pray without ceasing for your salvation and the salvation of the world. Pray always and give thanks for the gifts, favors, and blessings I have already poured out on you and your loved ones, and have faith that whatever you ask of Me in prayer, I will give it to you. Know that I AM the Lord your God and that nothing is too difficult for Me.
Remember, whatever you ask for with prayer, supplication, and thanksgiving, I will give it to you. Ask for the things that will lead you to the Kingdom of Heaven. The world and everything in it is passing; only one thing lasts: all the good you do in love for My sake and for love of Me.
I AM here. I AM with you always. Turn to Me in times of difficulty, and you will find Me in your heart. I will never leave you, I will never forsake you, for you are Mine. I have sealed you in My Blood and in My Spirit. Be not afraid; fear has no place in the heart and life of those who belong to Me.

WISDOM 15:2 (2026)

WISDOM 15:2

Even when we sin, we belong to you and acknowledge your power, but knowing we belong to you, we shall not sin.

---- my own,

Remember that sin is not just offensive to Me and wounds the Heart of one who loves you so much, but it diminishes the life of grace in you. Sin brings death, and the graver the sin, the more My life and light diminish in your soul. Sin or resisting sin is an act of the will. You choose whether or not you will do the things your flesh craves for the short-term pleasure it gives you, or you will turn to Me and ask Me to help you overcome temptation. Meditate daily, and whenever you can at different times of the day, on the love that the Father has for you. He has loved you so much that He gave Me up, His only and most beloved Son, as a willing victim to make expiation for all your sins. Look at a crucifix silently and let it speak to you of the measure of love, which is measureless. Have faith in My love for you, and allow My love and My commandment of love to help you turn your back on sin, avoid the occasions that render you weak and tempt you, and lean on the strong arm of prayer to help you choose Me over sin.

NEHEMIAH 1:10-11, 2:8B - 2026

NEHEMIAH 1:10-11, 2:8B

So, Lord, do not forget that they are your servants. They are your people, whom you have saved with your great power and strong hand. Listen to my prayer and the prayers of those who only want to honor your Name. I ask you to help me now and find favor with the king.”

The good hand of God supported me so that the king could give me what I asked for. 
---- my own,

You are Mine, and those you love, pray for, and plead for daily are Mine as well. I have saved you. I have poured out My mercy and My favour on you and your family. You belong to Me in time and eternity; nothing will change this truth. Continue to pray and intercede for yourself and for those you love. Bring all your needs before Me. Your faults, failings, weaknesses, and concupiscence—expose all your wounds to Me, both physical, mental, and spiritual, of every member of your family, and I will pour My Blood on you and cleanse you, heal you, and make you strong. Come to Me night and day; My ear is always pressed close against your lips and your heart. I hear every breath you breathe, every heartbeat, every pulse. I am closer to you than you are to yourself. So do not lose heart when trouble comes. Suffering is necessary, but I will not give any of you a cross that is too heavy to bear, and if it is, I will carry it with you. Remain yoked to Me, and with Me you will find your yoke easy and your burdens light. I have poured My Spirit into your heart; believe it, lean on Him, trust Him, and you will not fail.

MATTHEW 25:14-15 (2026)

MATTHEW 25:14-15

Imagine someone who, before traveling abroad, gathers his servants to entrust his property to them. He gave five talents of silver to one servant, two talents to another, and one talent to a third, each according to his ability; then he went away.

---- my own,

Above all, never forget that your whole purpose in this life is to serve in love. Life is meaningless if it is not spent doing good to everyone you encounter. This is why I urge you to pray constantly, unceasingly, for all good works done for love of Me are transformed into prayer. Nothing is beyond merit, no matter how small the task, if undertaken with love, in a spirit of compassionate service to those unable to help themselves. All the work that, according to your state in life, is entrusted to you must be done cheerfully, promptly, diligently, and joyfully. Remember that I love a cheerful giver. Yes, you are human. Yes, you are weak and frail, and the wiles of the evil one are constantly arrayed against you, but all you need to do is keep your gaze fixed on Me. You have your Guardian Angel, who is with you constantly, waiting to help you. Ask, and he will obtain for you all the help and graces you need from Me. Heaven stands available to you to pray for you, intercede for you, and bring all your petitions to the throne of mercy and grace. Ask, and you will receive; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.

LUKE 9:62 (2026)

LUKE 9:62

And Jesus said to him:
“Whoever has put his hand to the plow and looks back is not fit for the kingdom of God.”

---- my own,

Take a moment and picture this image in your mind. See yourself with your hand to the plow and your gaze turned backward. What does the backward glance accomplish? Why is your focus on things past, things and people and situations left behind, work already accomplished? What merit is there in this? What progress can you make going forward if your gaze lingers on things that have passed and are no longer in your control? What is done is done, what is said is said, what is left unfinished or done badly is something you cannot do over. Leave the past where it belongs, in the past. Keep your gaze fixed ahead on the path that I have willed you to walk. Keep your eyes fixed on the prize, on the goal. That goal is perfection, which means being disciplined, pressing forward no matter the cost, willing to strip yourself of everything that will not accomplish the purpose for which you were created by God. Keep your hand steady, your will firm, your gaze focused, your mind on Me, your heart filled with hope and trust, for you are not alone no matter how difficult it gets, no matter how hard the soil. I AM with you. I AM yoked to you. You are not alone. You are never alone. I AM with you always, every moment of every day of your life, and in the end I will bring you home to Myself to remain with Me forever. But for now, stay the course with unflinching will and purpose, and I will provide all you need for the journey.

JOHN 14:23 (2026)

JOHN 14:23

Jesus answered him: “If anyone loves me, he will keep my word and my Father will love him; and we will come to him and make a room in his home.

---- my own,

There is a superficial love that pays lip service to Me and to My Word. Many love Me in this way. Do not be like them; do not just say with your lips that you love Me but fail to do what I ask. How do you know what I ask of you every moment of every day? You know by spending time reading My Word, meditating on it, contemplating it, making it your food and drink, and asking the Holy Spirit ceaselessly for understanding, wisdom, courage, and help—not just to read My Word, but to do what it asks of you.

Spend time with Me daily and allow Me to draw near to you. The nearer you come to Me, the nearer will I draw you to Me, until you and I are one. Make everything a prayer; do all for love of Me. Do your daily tasks for love of Me. Be attentive to the needs of those around you, generously, as if it were I whom you serve, and it will be easier for you to check the uncharitable thought, the impatience, the quick, hurtful word, and the resentment you feel when demands are made of you. Do it for Me, think of Me, and it will be sweet; then it will become easy as you practice pouring yourself out in love of Me.

I AM with you always. Mine, just close your eyes; let all thoughts, worries, cares, and the desires of your flesh fall away from you, and be still, and you will find Me tabernacled in your soul. I AM with you. I AM always with you. Never forget that your duty is to love—love costs. Love is sacrifice.
