Make use of the time you have left to reconcile yourselves with God and your neighbor…

Jeremiah 11:11 Therefore, thus says the LORD: See, I bring upon them misfortune which they cannot escape. Though they cry out to me, I will not listen to them.

“Children, the hour of mercy is fast drawing to a close. Run, my children, into the endless font of my mercy while there is still time. Do not delay, but make use of the time you have left to reconcile yourselves with God and your neighbor. What a wailing will come from the earth! Never before has such a wailing been heard. Draw near to me my children. Run to my Mother, the quickest way to my heart.”

Jesus, Beloved, for the sake of your Mother and the souls she loves so much, have mercy on us all. May every soul immerse themselves in the font of your mercy. You are our only hope. Mother of God help us. Jesus we trust in you. Amen.

To spend so much time in empty pursuits while the Lord of glory sits alone in the tabernacles—it is travesty!

Habakkuk 2:13-14 Is not this from the LORD of hosts: peoples toil for the flames, and nations grow weary for nought! But the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the LORD’S glory as water covers the sea.

“Beloved child, how humanity busies itself with matters that have no meaning! How they spend themselves on building things that cannot last! To spend so much time in empty pursuits while the Lord of glory sits alone in the tabernacles—it is travesty! I wait for souls to come and no one comes. Do they not know that I have come infinitely farther than they are asked to come? I have imprisoned myself in a humble morsel of bread for their sake—I do not do it for MY sake! I am left alone. Is there no one to offer gratitude? No one to offer praise? No one even who will come to offer petitions? Children, know that when you come, I am filling you with all the unclaimed gifts of those who neglect me. To him who has, more will be given, but to him who has not, even what little he had will be taken away.* Children, come!”

Jesus, Beloved, I offer you the gratitude of the Gloriana for your humble presence in all the tabernacles of the world. I praise your holy name for giving us this indescribable gift, for making yourself wholly accessible to mere creatures. In the Divine Will I prostrate myself before all the tabernacles of the world, in the name of everyone from Adam to the last man, in reparation for all the many hours you are alone. Jesus, Lord, have mercy on us for we have sinned. Amen.

(*cf. Mark 4:25)

Little children, you do not grasp the power I give to faithful souls…

Psalm 2:10-11 And now, kings, give heed; take warning, rulers on earth. Serve the LORD with fear; with trembling bow down in homage, lest God be angry and you perish from the way in a sudden blaze of anger. Happy are all who take refuge in God!

“Little child, hear me well. You cannot imagine what is to come upon the earth. I have been exhorting you for years now, to pray and fast. The time of fulfillment is almost upon you. Indeed the labor pains have begun and will intensify before you see the glory of God revealed. Sin has purchased so much death! So much! All of heaven weeps for the earth. Yet the fidelity of my faithful ones is a balm and a bandage on the wounds inflicted on me and on the world by sin. Little children, you do not grasp the power I give to faithful souls. If you did, nothing would ever frighten you and you would fight temptation with your last ounce of blood. Be near to me now, my children. Let your presence give me comfort as mine gives you comfort. Together our embrace will light the flame of love in a world gone dark and cold. Love me, my children. It is the path to peace—in your heart and in the whole world.”

Jesus I love you! Be near to me always and may your love be always reflected in me so that the flame of your love might burn again in the world. Amen.

Pray for the oppressed, but also for the oppressor…

Malachi 3:5 I will draw near to you for judgment, and I will be swift to bear witness against the sorcerers, adulterers, and perjurers, those who defraud the hired man of his wages, against those who defraud widows and orphans; those who turn aside the stranger, and those who do not fear me, says the LORD of hosts.

“My child, do you think I am deaf to the cries of the oppressed? I tell you I am not! Each tear has been counted and those who are the oppressors will feel the pain of each tear in their own heart. And this judgment is merciful as well as just. For the oppressor will be given time to repent of his sin, but if he does not throw himself into my mercy, his just punishment will be severe, according to his fault. My children, do not let up on your prayers! Pray for the oppressed, but also for the oppressor. The oppressed I will reward and comfort in ways unimagined, but I take no delight in an unrepentant heart that chooses judgment over mercy. Be agents of my mercy and pray unceasingly—especially for those most in need of my mercy.”

“O my Jesus, forgive us our sins. Save us from the fires of hell. Lead all souls to heaven, especially those most in need of your mercy.”* Jesus, be with the oppressed and grant the grace of repentance to the oppressor. Jesus we trust in you.

(*Fatima prayer)

The hope and joy that filled the cave at Bethlehem is magnified in this age…

Isaiah 9:1 The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who lived in a land of deep darkness—on them light has shone.

“Behold, the Light has come into the world. A land steeped in darkness is filled with promise. The hope and joy that filled the cave at Bethlehem is magnified in this age—for where sin abounds, grace abounds all the more. The darker the night, the more brilliant the light appears. Oh my children! Oh that today you would listen to my voice! Then I would speak gentle words of love and hope to soothe your battered hearts. Oh my children, how I long to draw you into the manger with me. In your pride you will not seek me in so low a place. And yet that is where I desire to be found. Do not hesitate to go to the lowest places, for I will be waiting there for you. It is there that you will find the fullness of joy. Peace to you dear children. Shalom.”

Prince of Peace, poor and lowly help me to root out the pride that keeps me from seeking you where yo wish to be found. I ask every blessing this night, O glorious Infant King, on all those you have placed in my path and all those lowly and poor souls who house you in a special way. Jesus, be born in our hearts! Alleluia!

It was her sweet yearning, unknowing and innocent, that drew me down, attracting me like the strongest magnet…

Song of Songs 6:1 Where has your lover gone, O most beautiful among women? Where has your lover gone that we may seek him with you?

“My child, my beloved, seek me, desire me, draw me down to earth as my Mother did, the most beautiful of all women. There was never an instant of her life in which she did not yearn for me—even before she knew whom she yearned for. And how, as a child, could she have imagined the way in which the object of her yearning would come to her? Yet it was her sweet yearning, unknowing and innocent, that drew me down, attracting me like the strongest magnet. I longed to make myself fully known to her who desired me above all else, she who wed herself to me even in her mother’s womb. Oh, to describe such a love to mere creatures—it is beyond words! My children, how singular was this love that drew me down! Singular, unrepeatable, and yet I make available to you its merits and graces. Unite yourself to her in consecration and in the Divine Will. Give me again her desire. What joy it will give me to once again have a little child offering me that singular gift! And if many do so, I tell you all of heaven will come down as it did on the night of the Nativity, to see the love that drew God from heaven to earth. Ponder this, my children. What can you not do when such love is within your grasp? You will have the Infant King in your womb and in your heart.”

O Jesus! Beloved! What grace! What glory! In the Divine Will I offer you the pure desire of the Blessed Virgin, her yearning, her perfect love. In me, O Lord, I want you to find your Mother at every stage of her life calling you down as Savior and Lover. Marantatha! Come, my Beloved! I yearn for you! Come!

Set your faces on the promise and do not grieve over what cannot save you…

2 Peter 3:11-12 Since everything is to be dissolved in this way, what sort of persons ought (you) to be, conducting yourselves in holiness and devotion, waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be dissolved in flames and the elements melted by fire.

“My children, all these things are passing away. Those with eyes to see are on the death watch, for they know the end of the culture of death draws nigh. My children, do not be afraid. Do I not know how to look after my children? Place all your hopes, your cares, your needs in my merciful heart. Little ones, you know how to read the signs. When you gather in this holy season, remember these things, for the time of fulfillment is almost upon you. Children, my heart quickens when I think of the Era of Peace I have promised. Set your faces on the promise and do not grieve over what cannot save you.”

Jesus, Beloved, help us to focus on your promise. Do not let us be tempted into fear, but set our hearts and hopes on you alone. Jesus we trust in you. Amen.

What do you gain when you refuse love and mercy?

2 Corinthians 7:1 Since we have these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from every defilement of flesh and spirit, making holiness perfect in the fear of God.

“My beloved children, you know, don’t you, that nothing unclean can enter heaven? Then why do you cling to what defiles you? I have given you many ways and opportunities to repent of your sin. I make it easy and still you resist. Why? What do you gain when you refuse love and mercy? Do you think you are free in your sin? You are not. You are a slave to sin when you allow yourself to be mastered by it. Only in me is found true freedom and the forgiveness of sins. Run to me, not away. See, I am holding out my arms to you. Where else would you go? All joy, all peace, all holiness comes from me. I have everything you need in infinite abundance. You do eternal damage to yourself by your stubborn refusal of mercy. Come to me my child! I wait…”

O Jesus, merciful and good, holy and perfect, give us grace, the grace to see where we cling to sin and the grace to run away from sin and to run to you. Thank you Jesus for your love and mercy, the inexhaustible font of our joy and hope. Jesus, beloved, we trust in you. Amen.

Can you say, ‘Lord I am with you,’ and yet withhold even one small thing?

Luke 11:23 Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters.

“Beloved, do not be one who scatters, but by your prayers and example, gather all souls into my merciful heart. Let my mercy exude from your every pore. Keep in mind that if you are not gathering, you are scattering, and if you are not with me, surrendered and ready to do my will, then you are against me. Can you say, ‘Lord I am with you,’ and yet withhold even one small thing? That one small thing is enough to separate you from my will. Do I want 99% of you? No, I want ALL of you. Do not look at how others are responding to this call. Your only duty is to respond FULLY to me. In this way, you will begin to draw souls to me without even being aware. Child, let your ‘fiat’ be unconditional. Trust in me. TRUST in me.”

Jesus, Lord, have mercy on me, a sinner. Grant me grace to surrender completely to your holy, unfathomable will. Help me to trust you with everything, so that I might be your instrument in gathering souls for the kingdom. Jesus I trust in you!

These are the days to test everything…

2 Peter 2:1 There were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will introduce destructive heresies and even deny the Master who ransomed them, bringing swift destruction on themselves.

“My beloved, my children, these are the days to test everything. Do not be deceived, but take every thought captive to Christ. Keep yourselves pure and humble. Avail yourselves of the sacraments. Read Scripture and the lives of the saints. Read holy books rather than subject your soul to deception. These are days for caution, my children. Spend your time wisely in holy pursuits. Do not give the devil a chance to work on you. Work out your own salvation through prayer, fasting, and true conversion of heart. If there is any pride in you, root it out. Indignation, anger, self-righteousness, these are all manifestations of pride. Let the saints guide you on the path of humility—most especially our pure and lowly Mother. Ask her and she will guide you. Children, my peace I give you. Do not trade it away for a counterfeit. Rest in me. I am near.”

Jesus we trust in you and rest in your merciful heart. Mother most pure, keep us safe from the deceptions of the evil one and never let us fall into error or serious sin. Thank you Jesus for your gracious care of our poor souls. We love you! Amen.
