Feel my longing for the souls I created for the sake of love…

Psalm 73:25-26 Whom else have I In the heavens? None beside you delights me on earth. Though my flesh and my heart fail, God is the rock of my heart, my portion forever.

“Beloved child of my heart, cling to me. I wait for my beloved children to turn to me in love, to return to me the love I lavish on them—choice portions of the heavenly banquet. How it tears at my heart when they would rather feast on refuse and rot than partake in the Bread of Life. My child, hear my sigh that echoes to every corner of heaven! Feel my longing for the souls I created for the sake of love. Do all you can, beloved, to quench my thirst for souls. Together let us work to fill my heart with the returns of love. Child—give me souls!”

O Jesus, my heart burns to give you the souls you crave out of pure love. What can I do? Show me, my Lord. Help me to quench your thirst. Show me Lord, and by your grace I will do it. Amen.

Pray for mercy for those who will perish without having prepared their souls…

Dream: Last night I dreamed about a strange cloud of fire and ash that was coming towards us from the south. We locked the windows and when it hit, there was ash piled to within a foot of the top of the windows on that side of the house. There was a smell of smoke even in the house with the windows closed . This is the second time I have dreamed about large dumps of ash. Lord Jesus have mercy on us and on the whole world.

Habakkuk 3:9 Bared and ready is your bow, filled with arrows is your quiver. Into streams you split the earth; 10 at sight of you the mountains tremble. A torrent of rain descends; the ocean gives forth its roar.

“My child, pray for mercy for those who will perish without having prepared their souls. There is much that will befall the earth and there are many who will be lost for eternity if they do not accept my mercy in their final moments. Do not let any be lost because of your failure to pray. Yes, I know this is a heavy burden, but I would not ask you to pray if it did no good. Enter into my love for souls and it will be no burden to pray; you will desire to suffer anything rather than lose one soul. This is what it means to embrace the cross and it is a great honor and a great mystery that I allow my children to participate in my plan of salvation in this way. Suffice it to say that God’s will desires that his children participate in this way. So pray, fast, and offer sacrifices–do all you can, for the time is very short for very many.”

Jesus I trust in you. In the Divine Will I accept the unimaginable invitation to participate in your work of salvation through the cross. Jesus I am weak, but in you I can do all things. Lead me Lord, I come to do your will. Amen.

Do you see how sin destroys more than the soul of the sinner?

Jeremiah 12: 4 How long must the earth mourn, the green of the whole countryside wither? For the wickedness of those who dwell in it beasts and birds disappear, because they say, “God does not see our ways.”

“My beloved child, do you see how sin destroys more than the soul of the sinner? All of creation bears the burden of sin. That is why the earth is now groaning—the weight of sin has reached critical mass. You will see much more in the days to come. Do not neglect the poor, whose cry tears at my heart. While you can, do all you can to help them, as prudence allows. See the example of the poor themselves. Many who have very little are willing to share all they have with those who have nothing. Providence is the constant companion of those who give to the last. My child, imitate my generosity, especially as things deteriorate. Let providence be your portion and shield, praying always: ‘Jesus I trust in you.’”

Jesus help us to trust in your providence and show us how to imitate your generosity. Give us balance and discernment so that we will know the difference between acting with prudence and acting in fear. Jesus we trust in you.

Pray and fast, for the enemies of the Church are plotting its ruin…

Dream: Two nights ago, I dreamed my home was invaded by a group of arrogant young people. Throughout the dream, they were unable to harm me, but they did trash my house. They rang the doorbell and when I answered, they threw a hood over my head, which I was easily able to remove, after which I was easily able to shut the door. As I was shutting it they said arrogantly, almost nonchalantly, “It won’t do any good. We’ll get in, no problem.” I locked all the doors and called 911. The Archdiocesan Chancellor answered and when I explained, he said that he was sorry but he could not come over to help. Next thing I knew the gang was inside and they were trashing the place. A group of them were sitting at the table eating green peppers from the neighbor’s garden. A second group was hanging back, in deference to the first group, waiting for their turn to eat. Suddenly I realized that I should hide my circle-of-life diamond necklace. (Real life: I recently won this necklace in a raffle and it is my only valuable possession, monetarily speaking.) I went to the bedroom and shut the door. That’s when I woke up.

I feel this is a prophetic dream as it has many symbols and the memory of it won’t go away. I feel the house represents the Church. The enemy is plotting against it, and there is little we can do to alter the coming events. Still, we have nothing to fear as nothing will happen that is not within the plans of God. The Chancery represents the Church hierarchy and how powerless it will be in the face of the events that will unfold. There is a hierarchy within the gang, as the enemy apes the true Church. The circle-of-life diamond necklace represents the Eucharist, the real circle of life and the treasure of the Church, a treasure that must be protected and hidden if necessary.

As I meditated on this dream I felt the Lord say, “Child, pray and fast, for the enemies of the Church are plotting its ruin.”

Jesus, in the divine will I offer you the love and purity of the Blessed Virgin reparation for all the blasphemies and desecrations suffered by you in the Eucharist. Jesus help us to help you. Come Lord Jesus and do not delay. We need you, O gracious King! Keep us safe in your wounded heart as we wait in joyful hope for the return of your Bride in glory. Amen.

I asked for a Scripture passage and was given 2 Peter 3:13-14 But according to his promise we await new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells. Therefore, beloved, since you await these things, be eager to be found without spot or blemish before him, at peace.

Then as I sat down to pray Evening Prayer, this was the first Psalm (27):

The Lord is my light and my help:
whom should I fear?
The Lord protects my life:
what could terrify me?
When they come to do me harm,
to consume my flesh,
my enemies and my persecutors,
it is they who stumble and fall.
If their armies encamp against me,
my heart will not fear;
if battle flares up against me,
even then will I hope.
One thing I beg of the Lord, one thing will I ask:
that I may live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life,
so that I may behold the joys of the Lord
and always see his temple.
For he will shelter me in his tent in the time of evils.
He will hide me in the hidden parts of the tabernacle;
then raise me up on a rock,
lift me high up above the enemies who surround me.
In his tabernacle I will offer him a sacrifice
of shouts, of songs, of psalms to the Lord.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit,
as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,
world without end.
Amen.

If you believe in the truth, you have the Spirit…

2 John 1:9 Anyone who is so “progressive” as not to remain in the teaching of the Christ does not have God; whoever remains in the teaching has the Father and the Son.

“My child, it is the Spirit of Truth that teaches truth. If you believe in the truth, you have the Spirit and in the Spirit you also have the Father and the Son, for the Trinity cannot be separated—where one member is, there also are the other two. Do not fall into error. The enemy of truth is cunning and lays innumerable traps for those who seek the truth. That is why I ask you to pray and fast. These are sure defenses against the lies of the enemy. Pray for those who have fallen into the traps, for they are many. Child I long to have these children back. What will you do to help me?”

Jesus I don’t have to show you my weakness, for you see it daily , but if you are asking, then it must be possible for me to help you. Show me what to do, then give me the courage and strength to do it, for the sake of the souls you love so much. Mother most holy help me to help Jesus. Amen.

Test the spirit, but if it is found to be the Spirit of Truth, then you are remiss if you do not act on what you have been told…

I received the following Scripture passage in this way: This morning I was praying the Office of Readings from the Liturgy of the Hours when I dozed off briefly, at which point, I interiorly heard the words, “Write it down!” That woke me up and I picked up where I had left off in the reading. This last line jumped out at me and I knew this is what the voice had wanted me to write down. In the evening I wrote what I felt the Lord was speaking to my heart regarding this passage. It is another hard message—I feel the Lord becoming more direct. This calls for more discernment I feel. Pray, fast, and let the law of love be your guide. Peace to all.

Isaiah 7:17 The LORD shall bring upon you and your people and your father’s house days worse than any since Ephraim seceded from Judah.

“Beloved, do not doubt what I have told you. Test the spirit, but if it is found to be the Spirit of Truth, then you are remiss if you do not act on what you have been told. Child, there is much to come. If it were not so, I would not have told you, for only the truth comes from me. And if I have told you, is it not so that you will heed my warnings? My children, listen to me! It is time for you to ready your hearts, but also your homes. Do not do this out of fear, but in a spirit of prudence as your ancestors did when they stored provisions for the winter months. Little ones, do not neglect to pray, for it is in prayer that my will is made known. In your preparations, do not neglect to pray for souls. Place all your trust in me, but be wise and prudent, for wisdom and prudence are gifts from God. Children, trust in me, and be at peace, resting in my will.”

O Jesus, lead us! Be our sure guide. Grant us a generous portion of wisdom and prudence. Let us not be deceived, but give us clear direction so that we may use your gifts in the Divine Will for your glory. Jesus we trust in you. Keep us ever in your care. We place the spiritual and temporal needs of all those you have given us to pray for, in your Sacred Heart.  Jesus, we love you. In your mercy, save souls!

Cry to me day and night, for I will hear and answer those who trust in me…

Lamentations 2:19 Rise up, shrill in the night, at the beginning of every watch; Pour out your heart like water in the presence of the Lord; Lift up your hands to him for the lives of your little ones (Who faint from hunger at the corner of every street).

“Beloved, do not despair! Do not be afraid! But cry to me day and night, for I will hear and answer those who trust in me. Now is the time to prepare. Pray, Fast. Give alms. Let all you do give glory to the God in whom you place all your trust. Little ones I have told you these things in advance so that you will know and believe that my holy will is being accomplished in these events, as it was at Calvary. Not that I take delight in suffering, but that what sin has purchased for the world, I will redeem, and those who place their trust in me will not be put to shame. I give you peace, my children, my peace I give you. When these things happen, let peace be the garment you wear; then people will know that I am with you. Children, I love you! Draw near!”

O Jesus, I hide in your wounded side, in your pierced Heart. May your peace flow unimpeded through me. In your mercy give us clear direction and grant us all we need in the days ahead, especially the children! Jesus we place all our trust in YOU. Amen.

I have been extraordinarily patient with this generation, but their hardness of heart will be the cause of their own downfall…

Zechariah 9: 3-4 Tyre built herself a stronghold, and heaped up silver like dust, and gold like the mire of the streets. Lo, the LORD will strip her of her possessions, and smite her power on the sea, and she shall be devoured by fire.

“My beloved, the time has come. The mighty will fall into a trap they have, themselves, set. They set the trap to amass wealth and power for themselves, but the blood of the innocent has reached unheard-of depths. Their blood cries to heaven and I am not deaf to it. On the contrary—I have been extraordinarily patient with this generation, but their hardness of heart will be the cause of their own downfall. I have prepared a glorious place for those whose cries have torn my heart, especially those most innocent. Child, what will come will be unprecedented. What you have seen is just the precursor.”

BVM: “Place your trust in me, my children! My Son is ready to strike down the mighty, and the battle will be fierce. Pray my children! I am with you and I love you.”

Jesus and Mary, we trust in you—save souls! May your mercy still be active to the last second and in the Divine Will we pray that the grace of final conversion be granted to all, especially those most in need of your mercy. Lord Jesus, we long for your kingdom. May your kingdom come and your will be done now and forever. Amen.
