Our regional Catholic newspaper, the Western Catholic Reporter, ran an article about me in their November 16 issue. It may be found online here. If you live near Edmonton and want to attend the prayer breakfast mentioned at which I will be giving a witness talk, see the Catholic Renewal Services of Edmonton website here.

Please pray for me, that Mary’s Fiat! may always find a home in me.

Amos 5:16-17 Therefore, thus says the LORD, the God of hosts, the Lord: In every square there shall be lamentation, and in every street they shall cry, Alas! Alas! They shall summon the farmers to wail and professional mourners to lament, and in every vineyard there shall be lamentation when I pass through your midst, says the LORD.

“My child, watch and pray, then pray some more! Ready your lamps, trim the wicks and do not let apathy extinguish your flame. Instead, keep the light of faith burning brightly so that in the darkness the lost will find their way home. You do not know what is coming. Only grace can help you, but I have poured out grace abundantly; those who ask will receive, shaken down and overflowing. Open your hands and I will fill them. Then, knowing there is no end to what I give, go therefore and do the same. Let grace spill from your abundance to assist those who do not know how to ask. My child, do not tire of praying for the lost. Many are those who have prayed for you. In gratitude for the mercy shown to you, bring to my merciful heart each soul and especially those most in need of my mercy.”

Lord Jesus, this worthless sinner has much to be thankful for. By your grace I offer you all those whose hearts are far from you and all the lukewarm souls that anger you so much. Jesus I trust in you. Save souls! Amen.

Ezekiel 9:3-4 Then he called to the man dressed in linen with the writer’s case at his waist, saying to him: Pass through the city (through Jerusalem) and mark an X on the foreheads of those who moan and groan over all the abominations that are practiced within it.

“My child, the time is near. My angels are ready to carry out all that I have commanded. Are my faithful ones ready? Have they donned the armor of righteousness and the shield of prayer? Do they hold up the banner of the rosary? Have they been cleansed and prepared for battle? Child prepare! Your heart has been grieved over the abominations of the age. The hearts of my faithful children call out to me. I will not leave them orphaned. They will not be left to the non-existent mercies of the faithless hordes. Child, the King of Mercy thirsts for still more souls. Can you do more? Can you soak the sponge in the vinegar of your poverty and offer him a last sip? Child the time has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. Prepare with fasting, prayer, and almsgiving. For your Father in heaven is taking into account all these things and is magnifying their effect in this late hour. Pray!”

Jesus in Mary, take my every breath and make it a prayer in the Divine Will for the conversion of sinners. Father you can do all things. May your mercy flood the earth and bring countless souls to your merciful heart. Jesus I trust in you. Amen.

Daniel 12:10 Many shall be refined, purified, and tested, but the wicked shall prove wicked; none of them shall have understanding, but the wise shall have it.

“My child, do you see how this passage speaks to your time? The people of this generation are being sifted, wheat from chaff. The cream is being separated, and what will be left will sour quickly. I have told you that there is much to come. But those who trust in me will see miracles; I will not leave them orphaned. Child, do you believe in my love and goodness?”

Yes Lord, I know that you are the origin of love and goodness.

“Then, child, be at peace. Whatever comes, be it suffering, calamity, fire, or sword, place all your trust in my mercy. For nothing on this earth, not even everything on this earth combined is worth as much as even an instant of Divine Mercy. This is the wisdom you must embrace. Count as nothing all that does not serve the cause of love, goodness, and mercy.”

Jesus I trust in you! Grant us grace, O Lord, to keep before us the sign of mercy which is the Sacred Heart of your crucified Son. Give us your Holy Spirit, that we may act with the courage and strength the disciples had after Pentecost. Jesus we trust in you! Come Holy Spirit!

Dear readers, over the past few days I have felt called to meditate on the Lord’s prayer in light of the passion of our Lord. May what we ponder bear abundant fruit in our souls.

Our Father who art in heaven…

“Father, into your hands I commend my spirit.” (Luke 23:46)

“Child, I am your loving Abba. Can you not trust me with everything? Give me your very life and you will see what I can do.”

Hallowed be thy name…

So the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, “Do not write ‘The King of the Jews,’ but that he said, ‘I am the King of the Jews.’” (John 19:21)

“My child, so many deny the kingship of Christ. Pray always that the eyes and hearts of all will be opened to the truth—that Jesus Christ, crucified, died, and risen is Lord of all.”

Thy kingdom come…

Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.” He replied to him, “Amen, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise.” (Luke 23:42-43)

“Oh my child! Pray for the coming of the kingdom. How it pleases me to hear children calling for my kingdom to come. Do this sincerely and often, and you give me great joy.”

Thy will be done…

After withdrawing about a stone’s throw from them and kneeling, he prayed, saying, “Father, if you are willing, take this cup away from me; still, not my will but yours be done.” (Luke 22:41-42)

“Imitate your Savior in this if nothing else! For in this is found everything else. Enter into the will of God and you will never be in want, for you will have everything. Ponder this my child.”

On earth as it is in heaven…

It was now about noon and darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon because of an eclipse of the sun. Then the veil of the temple was torn down the middle. (Luke 23: 44-45)

“My child, if you knew how intricately I have linked heaven and earth you would be amazed. What happens on earth resounds in heaven and what happens in heaven resounds on earth. Do you see this? Look around at the world. Heaven is weeping at what sin has done and will do. Pray my child and do not stop!”

Give us this day our daily bread…

Then he took the bread, said the blessing, broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body, which will be given for you; do this in memory of me.” (Luke 22:19)

“Can I say often enough how crucial the Bread of Life is to the life of the soul? My child, even in those who do not receive the Eucharistic bread, it is the Eucharistic Bread that sustains them in their faith. One day, they will come to realize this and they will lament at the time spent away from the Sacrifice. Pray that many will come back to me and will know the joy of union with me.”

And forgive us our trespasses…

Then Peter remembered the word that Jesus had spoken: “Before the cock crows you will deny me three times.” He went out and began to weep bitterly. (Matthew 26:75)

“My beloved, how often must I forgive my wayward children? The ocean of my mercy is infinite. Do not despair, but like Peter weep bitter tears at your transgressions and trust in my mercy. Trust completely, for mercy will never fail those who place their trust in me.”

As we forgive those who trespass against us…

Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, they know not what they do.” (Luke 23:34)

“Then, child, because of the great mercy shown you, go then and do the same. Let there be no excuse, for your Lord does not find excuses to hold you accountable for your many transgressions. No, your loving Father kills the fatted calf and throws a great celebration. Be reconciled my people. It is the commandment of love.”

And lead us not into temptation…

Then all the disciples left him and fled. (Matthew 26:56)

“Beloved, a trial is coming to my children unlike any before. Pray not to be put to the test. Pray for supernatural faith and it will be granted. I have given you a simple prayer for times of temptation: ‘Jesus I trust in you.’ Use it often and you will defeat temptation before it strikes. Can I make it more simple? Use this prayer my child. This prayer is mercy itself.”

But deliver us from evil…

When Jesus had taken the wine, he said, “It is finished.” And bowing his head, he handed over the spirit. (John 19:30)

“The moment of salvation—ponder this often my child. It was at this moment that evil was defeated, that hope was restored to fallen humanity. Enter into the passion and death of your Savior and you too will conquer evil. This is a great mystery and must be pondered. Child I have saved you. Rejoice and be glad!”

Nahum 1:12-13 For, says the LORD, be they ever so many and so vigorous, still they shall be mown down and disappear. Though I have humbled you, I will humble you no more. Now will I break his yoke from off you, and burst asunder your bonds.

“My beloved child, well do I know how numerous and vigorous are those who would destroy the souls of my children. They plan their attacks and launch offensives without rest. My children grow tired—the fight is too much for mere mortals. That is why, my child, I sent my beloved Son to die for your sins. The yoke has been broken; all you need do is call upon his name and the enemy will be powerless against you. Child remember this always. Practice in small temptations so that when the bigger ones come your faith will not fail you. Stand firm. Let not the great gift of Jesus Christ go unclaimed by you, especially in time of temptation. Cast off the yoke of sin, for in the time so soon to come, the yoke of sin will weigh you down. Enter into the perfect love of Christ and be free.”

Jesus, Savior, I claim your perfect sacrifice with unending gratitude. May your perfect love protect me and mine from all temptation. Deliver us from evil, O merciful Jesus. Amen.

Isaiah 51:11 Those whom the LORD has ransomed will return and enter Zion singing, crowned with everlasting joy;they will meet with joy and gladness, sorrow and mourning will flee.

“My child, be consoled. If for a time you suffer trials—even great trials—know that your Lord is the God of all consolation. I have prepared a banquet for my people, a Sunday feast, a Sabbath rest. Believe in my goodness always. Trust that I will lead my sheep through the raging waters to the restful waters. I have promised and I will do it, says the Lord. My child, the time is very near when the faith of many will be tested. Cling to my Mother for she will not let her children be devoured by the dragon.”

Jesus in Mary I trust in you. I believe, hope, and trust in you and ask pardon for all who do not believe, hope, and trust in you. Blessed Mother, keep us safe under your mantle. I cling to you and bring with me all those you have given me to pray for. Amen.

Wisdom 1:16 It was the wicked who with hands and words invited death, considered it a friend, and pined for it, and made a covenant with it, because they deserve to be in its possession.

“My child, the wages of sin is death. And death begets death—it cannot beget life. So you see the downward spiral begun at the Fall of man but magnified exponentially in this age. The evil one, the prince of death, knows how short his time is on earth. Do you feel the frenzy with which he and his minions are going about their destructive business in this age?”

Lord the weight of darkness and the looming chaos are hard to miss.

“Yet my child, so few are aware. Many walk in the darkness oblivious to the danger. Pray for light my child, pray for true illumination and the illumination that comes from truth. There can be no end to the destruction and darkness until truth is enthroned in men’s hearts.”

O my Jesus, Lord of Truth, Light, and Life, I implore your mercy to let the brilliant light of truth shine for all to see. Let it illumine the darkest places so that those imprisoned by sin and death may walk in the light of life and truth. Fulfill your word O Lord: “The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light.”* Come Lord Jesus—maranatha! Come!

(*Isaiah 9:1)

Wisdom 19:13 And the punishments came upon the sinners only after forewarnings from the violence of the thunderbolts. For they justly suffered for their own misdeeds…

“My child, can anyone be surprised at the consequences that will befall the human race on account of sin? Yet many are blind to the signs; many are blind to their sins. Let those who pray do so with renewed fervor. Let them go into mourning over what is coming to the earth. Is it time for festivity when suffering and calamity surround you? My child, subdue your life as in the days of old when they put on sackcloth and sat in ashes. The destruction due to sin will be the cause of many tears. The only joy will be that which my faithful ones have in the hope of the kingdom. My child, the trial has been shortened because of the prayers and sacrifices of my faithful ones. Keep your eyes on the hope that is contained in the resurrection. One can only climb the hill to Calvary one step at a time. The resurrection awaits. Keep this thought firmly before you as you carry the cross to the crucifixion.”

Jesus in Mary, give us your strength, courage, and hope as we climb the hill to Calvary with you. Keep before our eyes always the joy and hope of the resurrection. Jesus we trust in you and offer you the gratitude of the Gloriana wrapped in the love of the Blessed Mother for having shortened the time of trial. Help us to do more for the sake of the souls you love so much. Amen.

Micah 2:3 Therefore thus says the LORD: Behold, I am planning against this race an evil from which you shall not withdraw your necks; nor shall you walk with head high, for it will be a time of evil.

“Beloved child, can I continue to look upon injustice and not act? How long must my patience be tested and tried? Child, I tell you the time is short. This generation has brought a great destruction upon its own head. My laws will not be mocked! This generation is allowing sin free reign by its refusal to acknowledge that sin exists. If only my prodigal children would realize the destruction they call down on innocent and guilty alike. There is much to come. But, my child, the window of opportunity is not quite shut. Use all the tools I have given you. Do not wast a small moment, but give everything to me and I will make use of it in the plan of mercy. Oh my child—pray!”

Jesus I trust in you! In the Divine Will, I offer you all—my every moment, my every breath, even my weakness. Heavenly Father I offer it all to you in reparation through Jesus in Mary. Holy Spirit come and renew the face of the earth! Amen.
