Baruch 2:29-32 If you do not heed my voice, surely this great and numerous throng will dwindle away among the nations to which I will scatter them. For I know they will not heed me, because they are a stiff-necked people. But in the land of their captivity they shall have a change of heart; they shall know that I, the LORD, am their God. I will give them hearts, and heedful ears; and they shall praise me in the land of their captivity, and shall invoke my name.

“Beloved children, do not despair! I have allowed the disobedient* to be scattered so that in the end I myself may gather them together. They try to run, but they cannot escape me any more than they can escape their own heart. In fact that would be an easier thing! I relentlessly pursue each soul, leaving signs of my presence—of which they take no notice. When this happens, I withdraw and allow them to feel my absence. Then when they have sunk to the lowest pit and give a glance my way, I myself lift them out, wash them clean, and put oil on their heads. Some of my children choose the thorniest path, but they do not know that at the end of every path and at each step on the way I AM. Pray my children. I long for souls! Pray!”

Jesus, beloved, lover of souls, I praise you for your relentless pursuit of even the most hardened sinners. In the Divine Will I pray for all those in my territory. Do not let them be lost forever, but in your mercy draw them into your gracious, loving embrace. Jesus I trust in you. Save souls! Amen.

(*I take this to refer to those who have turned their backs on the Church. The new disapora.)

Baruch 3:1-2 O Lord Almighty, God of Israel, the soul in anguish and the wearied spirit cry out to you. Hear O Lord, and have mercy for we have sinned before you.

“Beloved, children, throw yourselves into the font of my mercy. Let waves of living water refresh your weary hearts. Children, there is only one Word I speak—love! Love is the Word that set creation in motion. Love is the Word that sustains it. And what does that love look like? It is the cross. It is total self-giving. It is emptying your ‘self’ so that love can fill you and form you. The world is in great need of this agape love. Where can it be found? Where can my heart rest on earth? Empty yourselves, my children. My heart is looking for a place to rest.”

Heavenly Father, your love is everything! Grant us every grace we need to empty ourselves to that your love may find a home in us. Lead us, Lord, into your peace. Amen.

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.

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!

Friends, today I was blessed to be able to watch the MaryTV broadcast of Ivan’s apparition. I participated in the whole event online. The apparition was followed by Mass presided by Cardinal Schönborn at the end of which there was an hour of adoration. The Lord and his Mother were very present and had some beautiful words of encouragement for us.

During the MaryTV broadcast of Ivan’s apparition

BVM: “Little one, I am sending you as a lamb among wolves, but you are not a lamb without a shepherd. You are a lamb whose Shepherd cannot be defeated. Be at peace.”

Here I am Lord. Fiat!

At adoration:

Jesus: “Be at peace my child. I have sent my Mother to you to call you back to me. Her efforts have borne golden fruit in but a few, silver in many more, but some of you are content with fruit of bronze or clay. Strive for the higher gifts, my children. You will have great need of them as the days darken. Do not settle for clay when the golden fruit of the Holy Spirit is offered to you. Men of clay, why do you hesitate? My love can raise you higher than you can imagine! My love is the wind that bears you up. My glory longs to enfold you, but you resist. Enter into my joy, dear children. The peace and joy of heaven, the golden fruit is within your grasp. Pray, be converted, offer your sacrifices and do it all through the perfection of the Immaculate Heart. In this way the fountain of glory will be opened to you and you will bear much fruit, the golden fruit of the kingdom. Does this surprise you, dear children? Do you find it unbelievable? That is because your gaze is fixed on your self. Fix your gaze on me, for in me all things are possible, and glory flows unimpeded. Do not be an impediment in the flow of glory, but by your total surrender to the will of God, become a living conduit of grace and glory in the world. Imagine a spigot. It may be turned low, or higher or fully on. Let your spigot never be anything less than fully on. Examine what prevents you from opening the flow to its greatest capacity. Root out sin and unhealthy attachments. My children, let my grace and glory flow! I long for it. I bless you my children. Ephphatha—be opened!”

Jesus, glorious Lord of love, beloved of the Father, we adore you and praise your glory. May all you desire be accomplished in us for your glory. Help us to root out all that is in us that impedes the flow of grace and glory into the world. Jesus, Beloved, Father, Beloved, Holy Spirit, Breath of Love, we adore you. Mother of God intercede for us always. Amen.

As I was preparing to post the message, I asked for a Scripture passage and was given:

Mark 7:32-35 And people brought to him a deaf man who had a speech impediment and begged him to lay his hand on him. He took him off by himself away from the crowd. He put his finger into the man’s ears and, spitting, touched his tongue; then he looked up to heaven and groaned, and said to him, “Ephphatha!” (that is, “Be opened!”) And (immediately) the man’s ears were opened, his speech impediment was removed, and he spoke plainly.

Hosea 2:20 I will make a covenant for them on that day, with the beasts of the field, with the birds of the air, and with the things that crawl on the ground. Bow and sword and war I will destroy from the land, and I will let them take their rest in security.

“My beloved, the collective heart of all humanity, past and present, has yearned for the day when every tear is wiped away. There is an inborn longing in the human heart, a generational memory, of that beautiful Garden that was lost through disobedience. The human quest for happiness finds its root in that memory–something longed for but not seen, something desired that is never grasped. I am telling you, my child, that longing is about to be satisfied. A few more pieces need to be moved into place–and they are heavy pieces! Do not fear but enter into the joy of the Lord who longs to walk in the Garden once again with his little ones.”

Heavenly Father, Abba, how little and weak we are! May your holy will be fulfilled and may the Era of Peace come quickly to earth. May your love be the engine that runs the world. Come Lord Jesus! Come Holy Spirit! Renew the face of the earth! Amen.

Galatians 2:19-20 I have been crucified with Christ; yet I live, no longer I, but Christ lives in me; insofar as I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God who has loved me and given himself up for me.

“Oh, my dear children, my beloved!What have I not done for you? What have I held back that would be to your good? Know and believe that what I have done for you and what I have given to you is incalculable in human terms. Weak, pitiful creatures that you are your Creator loves you. Poor and helpless children that you are, your Redeemer gave his life for you. Lost and fickle children that you are, your Sanctifier fills you with all the gifts in the Divine treasury. What can I ask of you that would be too much? Live in my will. Ponder all I have done and you will desire nothing outside of my will. Do you see how I love you? Enter the chamber of my pierced heart where the fountain of mercy awaits you. Come to me, my children. Learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart.”

Jesus I love you! Father, son, and Holy Spirit I give you my weak and fickle heart. Redeem it, sanctify it, fill it with your gifts so that your holy will alone may be accomplished in me, around me, and through me. Holy Trinity of love, I love and worship you with the holy love of our Blessed Mother and the gratitude of the Gloriana. Love, live in me! Amen.

Ephesians 2:4-7 But God, who is rich in mercy, because of the great love he had for us, even when we were dead in our transgressions, brought us to life with Christ (by grace you have been saved), raised us up with him, and seated us with him in the heavens in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus.

“My beloved, do you not realize what I have already done for you–how much it cost me to ransom sinful humanity? Do you see how much farther I went? Not content merely to save you from death, it pleased me to elevate you with Christ and in Christ to the status of first-born sons. My children ponder this! The angels are in awe, for they are very much aware of the infinite distance between our two natures–yours the created human, mine the Divine Creator. Now, if I have been this generous with you so far, why do you now doubt my goodness? Why do you fail to trust in my mercy? If I have already given you this much, then have every confidence that those who love me and follow my ways have my rapt attention. Your prayers, dear children, fall softly on my heart. Those you love, those you beg me to save, do not doubt my love for them, but work and pray for their salvation as for your own. Children, love me, trust in me, have confidence. Remain in me and you will never be without joy.”

Heavenly Father, your love is boundless, your mercy and generosity endless! I praise and thank you for looking with love and kindness on such vile worms who merit not the lowest gaze from you. Your words of love give us hope and great joy. We trust in you dear, glorious Abba–save souls! Amen.

Colossians 2:9-10 For in him dwells the whole fullness of the deity bodily, and you share in this fullness in him, who is the head of every principality and power.

“My children–be not afraid! He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. Remember always that I have conquered the world. So even if you have to suffer for a time, is it not so that the glory of God may be revealed in all its fullness? Children, you have been brought to this day for a reason and a purpose. Do not let fear rob you of achieving your destiny. There is no joy that compares with that of fulfilling the plan of God for you. It is a joy that surpasses earthly suffering to such a degree as to render it meaningless. I do not exaggerate. What you gain has no equivalent loss on earth. When you surrender completely to the will of God, all is gain–ALL is gain. Then, my children, fear nothing. Embrace God’s will in every moment. Enter into the Breath of Love that flows between the Father and the Son. Then you will know a peace that the world can never take away.”

O my Jesus! Now I know that all things work for good for those who love you. Give us grace, O Lord, grace upon grace so that God’s will may be done in us and through us. Help us to live only and always in your will for your glory and for the salvation of souls. Jesus we trust in you–for the glory of God! Amen.

John 19:15 Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you looking for?”

“My child–I am near! Then why do you surrender to your fears and anxieties? I have given you the remedy: “Jesus I trust in you.” Say it as often as you need to.  And do not neglect the sacraments. Every unconfessed sin is a block to grace. But through the sacraments, the floodgates of grace and peace are opened. Go as often as you can–while you can.

“My child, lean closer. Lay your head on my breast. Let me whisper words of love, of joy, and of consolation into your heart. Listen for my heartbeat. Do you hear it beating for love of you? How my heart longs to fly into yours, so that the two of us will beat with a single heart. Little ones, draw near.”

O my Jesus, your unimaginable love and humility are astounding! How can mere worms unite with the Lord of All? Only by your holy will, and by the gift of grace. Jesus, never let our sins gain a foothold, but deliver us from temptation and evil through the powerful intercession of the Mother of All Nations. Amen.
