All my children who believe, hope, and trust in me will be given extraordinary graces in the time soon to come…
Sirach 2:11 Compassionate and merciful is the LORD; he forgives sins, he saves in time of trouble.
“Oh my beloved, if only all would know and believe this! What joy and peace there would be on earth. You, my child, must never doubt it. All my children who believe, hope, and trust in me will be given extraordinary graces in the time soon to come. The evil one will do all in his power to tempt and discourage the faithful. At times, your faith will be a sheer act of the will, for all evidence* will be hidden. Persevere! Maintain your hope. Pray for strength. I assure you, no such prayer will go unanswered. I am near and I will save in time of trouble. Trouble is coming, my child, and it is here already. But have no fear-I have conquered the world.”
Jesus, I believe, hope, and trust in you! Grant me every gift and grace I need to remain faithful in the time to come. Jesus I love you! Amen.
(*I believe this refers to the external signs and consolations that we now enjoy in the visible church.)

All evidence will be “hidden”–not eliminated.
And as Our Lord assures us–there will be a “Glorious Resurrection”.
If this cup cannot be removed, let this time period pass hastily, I pray, Dear Lord…

It was nice to read these holy words because they mean a lot to me, I generally try to live by the Bible zaonam.

Mary Therese, thank you for this prayer. I am reminded of Jesus’ words to Judas: “What you do, do quickly.” Our Lord understands us well. Let us trust in him.

Thank you for your comment Felipe. The Bible is the instruction manual for life. You have chosen well.
(I am curious…what does zaonam mean and in what language?)

Yes, thank you Anne. I am always happy to direct readers to Mark Mallett’s blog. His writings are powerful, prophetic, and open to us the richness of the Church’s spiritual writings.
God bless us all as we prepare to receive with hope all that God has planned for us. Without the grace of mercy and the mercy of grace we would have great reason to fear. But we have Jesus–Jesus I trust in you!
