Enter into the Breath of Love that flows between the Father and the Son…

1 John 4:13 This is how we know that we remain in him and he in us, that he has given us of his Spirit.

My beloved, what more do you need as proof of my love and presence? Enter into the Breath of Love that flows between the Father and the Son. This never-ending stream of love is waiting to receive you if you but desire to live in the love of the Father and the Son. You do not know and cannot imagine the magnitude of this gift. Accept it with humble gratitude, as you can never hope to merit it. Our Mother came closest to meriting this love and yet even she needed grace to receive grace. It was her abject , perfect humility that was her merit, her total acknowledgment of God’s power at work in her. Ponder these things as she did. Be small and filled with gratitude as she was. This is the path to perfection, a path she walked flawlessly.”

Jesus in Mary, how can I thank you for such a magnitude of generosity? Blessed Trinity of love I offer you the perfect gratitude of the Blessed Mother for this unimaginable gift.

“My child, that is a precious offering. Make it often.”

Jesus in Mary I worship you. Amen.

Do not be afraid of your weakness, but show it to me and my love will transform it…

1 Corinthians 12: I will rather boast boast gladly of my weaknesses, in order that the power of Christ may dwell with me.

My beloved, do not seek power in earthly things. Earthly power is fleeting, fickle, and frail. But link your struggles to mine, acknowledging your weakness, and all the power of heaven will be at your disposal. A contrite heart, one whose weakness is exposed, one who is willing to rely on me for everything, that soul is adorned with the power of heaven. Especially in these day, my child, when my dwindling flock is facing persecution on so many fronts–even within the church itself–especially now is my power made perfect in your weakness. Do not be afraid of your weakness, but show it to me and my love will transform it. You may not know in this life all I have accomplished thorough this act, but in eternity it will amaze you to see all that was wrought through your wretchedness offered in love and humility. My child, walk with me at all times and be at peace.”

Lord Jesus, your generosity knows no bounds! What poor gifts we offer, and what rich gifts they purchase. Thanks be to God, generous, merciful, compassionate, and just. Blessed Trinity of love, all glory and praise to you! Amen.

Book news…

Love is the salt with which you are to season your every offering…

1 John 4:12 No one has ever seen God. Yet, if we love one another, God remains in us, and his love is brought to perfection in us.

Leviticus 2:13 . . . On every offering you shall offer salt.

Yes, my child, love is the salt with which you are to season your every offering. If you do this, you will remain in me and the power of love will grow in you. Then you will see miracles unimagined. Practice love, my child. Practice on those who seem unlovable. Love them with my heart and you will be on the fast track to perfection. My child, exclude no one from the love you bear. In this way, you imitate me. Love unto death, for I died for sinners. Child, ponder this deeply, for this mystery holds the answer to many of the world’s problems.”

Lord Jesus, my weakness is great, but you are greater. Give me all the graces I need in order to love with your heart, even unto death. Jesus in Mary, I love you. Never leave me. Amen.

Do you see how true, sacrificial love is the antidote to all the world’s ills?

1 John 4:11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we also must love one another.

My child, have you done this? Do you see how true, sacrificial love is the antidote to all the world’s ills? Your Lord commands you to love. This commandment is an invitation to imitate God in sacrificial love. Let go of your self. Do not let your earthly desires tempt you away from what is true, good, and beautiful. The love of God alone fulfills all these elements. The love of God alone can bring peace to earth. My child, ponder what it means to imitate God in love. There is much to come, but love-the true love of God-will conquer all. Cling to hope with joy!”

Heavenly Father, God of infinite love, I ask for the grace to grow in love. Blessed Mother lead me and teach me how to love without limits as you did. Jesus, I trust in you. Holy Spirit, Breath of Divine Love, infuse me. Amen.

No one can love unless he first receives the gift of love from my Sacred Heart…

1 John 4:10 In this is love: not that we have loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as expiation for our sins.

Beloved, true love has its origin in me. No one can love unless he first receives the gift of love from my Sacred Heart. The love of God is limitless-it is human beings who place limits on God. True love does not make excuses for transgressions against it, but it readily forgives all those who contritely seek healing. Love is not limitless license, as the world would have you believe. True love invites, heals, sacrifices, and forgives. That is the meaning of this passage. Leave your sin behind, precious child. Only in accepting the healing, transforming love of God will you know true joy and freedom.”

Jesus I give you the gratitude of the Gloriana* for all your transforming love showered so liberally over your children. Give all souls the grace of believing in true love. For the sake of his sorrowful passion, have mercy Lord.

(*Gloriana: The angels and saints in perfect communion with the Blessed Trinity; the perfect unity of heaven.)

The prayers of God’s faithful will be given renewed power in this time of great trial…

Micah 3: 9, 12 You who abhor what is just, and pervert all that is right, . . . because of you, Zion shall be plowed like a field, and Jerusalem reduced to rubble, And the mount of the temple to a forest ridge.

My child, this is an oracle for your time-a time when leaders offend against the cause of justice, when they sack their own people and pillage their stores. They have perverted all good things. My child, woe to this generation! For they have brought destruction on their own heads. The innocent will suffer as well as the guilty. My child, do not let up on your prayers and sacrifices. For the prayers of God’s faithful will be given renewed power in this time of great trial. My child-pray!”

Lord Jesus, you have given us so much and we have trampled it underfoot. In your mercy , help all those who most need you right now. I pray for conversions, especially in our leaders, and I pray for the spiritual and temporal needs of all, especially the children. Amen.

You will never fully understand in this life, but do not let that stop you from giving all to him who gave all for you…

1 John 4:9 In this way the love of God was revealed to us: God sent his only Son into the world so that we might have life through him.

Oh, my beloved, if you knew the magnitude of this gift, you would never stop praising God. If you fully appreciated the sacrifice it took, first of all for the Son of God to become man, and then to submit himself fully to the will of those creatures God had predestined to participate in this plan of unimaginable love for humanity, you would be overcome with gratitude. You would want to give everything to your Lord; you would never hold anything back. My child, you will never fully understand in this life, but do not let that stop you from giving all to him who gave all for you. Child, whatever comes, give thanks to God, and offer all to him in love and gratitude.”

Heavenly Father, I give you all thanks and praise for the gift of your Son to aching humanity. Jesus, Beloved, you gave everything for us. Help me Lord, to hold nothing back. May you be forever glorified in all I do and say. Jesus I love you. Amen.

Two dreams…

Last night I had two dreams:

Dream 1: I saw a branch in a tree and the branch was full of bird nests. The branch also housed some owls. I could see the branch start to break off the tree. It fell to the ground and the birds scattered. I counted five owls that flew away. The nests were destroyed. In prayer I discerned that the branch symbolized a coming schism in the Church. However it would not last long as the schismatic “bishops” would fly away. In cutting itself off from the tree, the branch would be destroyed.

John 15: 5-6 “I am the vine, you are the branches. Whoever remains in me and I in him will bear much fruit, because without me you can do nothing. Anyone who does not remain in me will be thrown out like a branch and wither; people will gather them and throw them into a fire and they will be burned.

Dream 2: I was in a strange house and felt uneasy. I looked outside and there was a white lion prowling and watching me. I sensed evil intent. As I explored the house I felt led to sprinkle blessed salt around. When I came to the basement, I saw two little creatures. I sprinkled salt on one of them and it was incapacitated, but I was not quick enough and the second one bit me on the hand. I feel the lion represents the evil one, and the creatures his minions. They are all around and we must be vigilant.

1 Peter 5:8-9 Be sober and vigilant. Your opponent the devil is prowling around like a roaring lion looking for (someone) to devour. Resist him, steadfast in faith.

Perfect love resembles the cross more than anything…

1 John 4:8 Whoever is without love does not know God, for God is love.

My child, many profess to know love, but their hearts are far from me. Many profess to know me, but their false idea of love exposes the lie they believe in. Beloved, if you know me, you know that perfect love resembles the cross more than anything. Perfect love is empty of self and seeks only the will of the Father. This is the only path to perfect love. Ponder this, my child, and this truth will set you free–free to love, no matter where it leads.”

Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, your perfect love is the only prize worth having. In your mercy grant all souls the desire to know you and in knowing you, to find perfect love. Holy Trinity of love, this is the only way to peace–please grant it. Amen.
