“My beloved, even now, at this late hour, if my children turn to me with fasting and weeping, throwing themselves on my mercy, contrite and sorrowful, it would mitigate to a great degree the chastisement due to sin. What sin has purchased I would refund for the sake of those many repentant hearts. That is why, my child, I call you to fast and pray for souls. Have you done enough yet? Can you say that you have? My child, much depends on the number of souls who turn to me with contrite hearts. Pray, pray, pray for conversions. There are too few praying! Too many will not be converted. Time is short. Give me every moment of your life to do with as I please. I will use it to purchase more souls. This is a great mystery, tied to the gift of free will. Give me all, my child. Hold nothing back. Your God implores you. Do not refuse, for much depends on those who will abandon all to the Lord of Life.”

Jesus, Lord of Life, take my miserable offering and use it as you wish magnified in the love and merits of our Mother. I have so little to offer, but I give it to you. In your mercy receive it as you received the offering of the widow with her small coins. Jesus I trust in you. Save souls!

“My beloved, my word for you today is ‘mercy’. Be an apostle of mercy. Let every breath you take be a cry of ‘Mercy!’ Let your every act be done in union with all the acts of my life and my Mother’s. For our lives were an unending prayer of mercy. Link all you do to our lives and you will sanctify, not just your own life, but the lives of the sinners we long to save. Do not ask, “Which ones?’ But trust in our merciful hearts. Give every act, every word, your every breath to us, without condition, for the sake of souls. Then we will have the delight of showing you in eternity all we were able to accomplish by living our lives again in you.”

O Jesus and Mary! What beauty! What joy to be able to give you the opportunity to live again on earth for the sake of sinners. Use me as you wish O Lord! Take my every moment and use it to live again on earth. Through grace, let not my weakness and sin be an impediment, but in the Divine Will let what you have said be accomplished in all your faithful children. Fiat!

(Since posting this I have had one of Mark Mallett’s songs in my head–”Love Live in Me” from his CD “Let the Lord Know”. You can hear a clip of it here.)

“My beloved, you do not know what is coming. Pray very hard that your faith may not fail you. My child, lean not on your own strength but, in trust, cling to me. Then I will be your strength. Child, there is much to come and much will be demanded of you. Learn to listen for the promptings of the Spirit, for he longs to guide his faithful ones to a safe harbor. My child, place your trust in me and be at peace. Shalom.”

Sweet Jesus, beloved one of my heart, strengthen your faithful ones for the time of trial. Only in you are we strong; in you our strength is infinite. Holy Spirit teach us to hear you clearly and to obey promptly. Jesus I trust in you. Amen.

“My beloved, do not forget that the Lord alone will grant success to all you do in his name. Take no glory for yourself, for your every ability and action has its source in me. Therefore, act boldly in my name. Do not be afraid, but walk with your head erect. The shame belongs to those who deny me, mock me, revile me, and hate me. Continue to pray for sinners, my child. You cannot imagine the good I will accomplish if you but surrender your life to me.”

Here I am Lord, I come to live in your will. Give me all the graces I need, through the prayers of the Blessed Mother, so that I might always act in your power and in your name to your glory. For the sake of your sorrowful passion, have mercy on all who are far from you. Amen

Romans 8:13 For if you live according to the flesh, you will die, but if by the spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

“My beloved, do you see what gives life? It is Spirit that gives life. Therefore put to death the things in you that are earthly. Do not cling to what cannot save. My child,this teaching is very important. All that you cling to on earth will tether you, tie you down, anchor you. But cut the ties, and you will soar! Then you will see how utterly worthless all you have clung to really is. I am near, my child. Fly to me and you will live.”

Jesus, my light, my life, help me to let go of all that anchors me to the earth. I ask for every grace so that I may fly to you unrestricted. Jesus in Mary, please heal me. Amen.

Dream: Last night I dreamed that the sandstorm forecast in my dream of May 14, hit with full force. It was unbelievable! I could see nothing but brown outside. I was not afraid, but calmly closed windows to keep out the grit. Upon waking I asked the Lord for the meaning and he reminded me that severe dust storms are symbolic of economic hardship, as in the Dirty Thirties. I asked for a Scripture passage and he led me to the following:

Nehemiah 13:12-13 All Judah once more brought in the tithes of grain, wine, and oil to the storerooms; and in charge of the storerooms I appointed the priest Shelemiah, Zadok the scribe, and Pedaiah, one of the Levites, together with Hanan, son of Zaccur, son of Mattaniah, as their assistant; for these men were held to be trustworthy. It was their duty to make the distribution to their brethren.

“Beloved, the time of hardship is upon you. You do not know what hardship can do, even to good people. You must pray for yourself and for all, that in dire times you will remain filled with hope and charity. Prayer is key. There will come a time when you will feel called to move on. This model I gave to Nehemiah is the model I give for your time. There must be no hoarding, but hold all things in common with the brothers and sisters I assemble. Keep to the prayers. Distribute according to need. Let there be no jealousy or wrangling, but a spirit of peace and fidelity. The Holy Spirit will be with you in this time, in a new and powerful way. Do not be afraid, for I am near.”

Jesus, lead us! Holy Spirit, keep us faithful to your holy will. Guide us and give us all the gifts we need to live the truth in love. Send forth your Spirit, O Lord, and renew the face of the earth. Amen.

Luke 13:24 “Strive to enter through the narrow gate, for many, I tell you, will attempt to enter but will not be strong enough.”

“My beloved, will you be strong enough?”

By your grace alone O Lord!

“You have answered rightly. Cling to me in the sacraments, learn from me in Scripture and through holy reading and inspired preaching. Believe, hope and trust in me and and not in yourself. I tell you–you are not strong enough. But in me, there will be no limit to your strength. Read the martyrs. Not one was abandoned in his or her hour of need. Lean on me, for I am your strength.”

Jesus, crush in me everything that clings to self. In me I want you to find the weakest child ever created, clinging to you in total need. In the Divine Will, find in me all weak souls, so that those who do not cling to you will have a gateway, a crack in th the wall through which they may access your mercy. Jesus, Lord of love and mercy, help us! Amen.

Romans 8:13 For if you live according to the flesh, you will die, but if by the spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

“My child, esteem nothing in this life above your immortal soul. Do not give undue value to what is base and temporary. Live in the Spirit and all will fall into its proper place. You will begin to use the measuring rod of eternity. With this measure you will quickly see what does and does not register on the scale. The things of this world are weightless, without dimension, when this scale is used. Then know that you are called to live a life worthy of eternity. Ponder these things, my child. You will have great need of the perspective of eternity in the time that is upon you.”

Jesus, Lord, help me to esteem nothing that does not lead to you. My beloved, lead me. Here I am, I come to live in your will. Amen.

“My child, if only my children would turn from sin and believe the Good News! If they would but ask for mercy, it would be showered upon them in abundance. But they have hardened their hearts. They do not cry to me but laugh in derision. I am being crucified anew in this generation. But I would joyfully endure it if I knew they would eventually turn to me. It is because I see that so many will remain obstinate that I grieve. There are many, so many who have no one to pray for them. It is up to my little servants to stand in the breach and intercede for those poor lost souls. Expand your prayers, little ones, in the Divine Will. All things are possible for God. He only seeks willing souls, abandoned to his purpose, who will act on his behalf on earth, for the sake of the souls he loves so much.”

Jesus, here I am. Use my every breath to your purpose. In your mercy, take the souls who are farthest from you, who have no one to pray for them and place them in your Mother’s arms where they will be swaddled in her merits. Jesus, Lord have mercy on us all. Amen.

“My beloved, there is a time for all things and this is a time for wariness. You do not know who your enemies are. Trust in God. Let your Mother give you guidance. Allow her free reign and do not second-guess her. This is the way to be assured of the truth. Give each situation to her and ask her to give it life or death according to God’s will. Cling to nothing, save the hem of her robe. This does not mean that you are to abandon those God has placed in your life. On the contrary-commend them to the Blessed Mother and give her free reign. Then be ready to accept any consequence that comes from her hand. Trust in Jesus, your Lord, through the intercession of his beloved Mother. It is the only way to traverse the treacherous waters of this age.”

My beloved Jesus in Mary, I trust in you! Dear Mother I give you every situation and give you free reign over my relationships and all those God has given to me. I commend each one to you, beloved Mother of my heart. Jesus, Mary, Joseph, I love you! Save souls! Amen.
