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!”

“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.

“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.

BVM: “My child, listen to my Son who only wishes that his children would return his love and live with him forever. Sadly, tragically, many today reject his free gift, grossly underestimating the value of the gift. This is the pearl of great price. Sell all you have, but you will never have enough to purchase it, for its value is far beyond any created thing, and indeed beyond all created things together. It is offered free because only my Son can afford the cost of your salvation. He alone is worthy to purchase souls. The only value souls have is found in Jesus. And yet so few realize what minuscule particles they are apart from him. But in him—oh, my child! If you could see the soul that loves my Son and accepts the gift of salvation with humble gratitude—my child, you would die a thousand happy deaths! There is no beauty in creation to compare with it! So count as nothing all that hinders you, all that distracts you, all that bars your way to Christ. Love him alone, and all shall be more perfect than you ever dreamed possible.”

Blessed Mother I thank you for this beautiful reminder of all that I am not—apart from Christ I am nothing! Jesus I thank you with the love and gratitude of your mother for the free gift of my salvation. Words cannot express it; I leave it to her to do so. Alleluia!

“My child, prepare! Fast and pray, for the hour is near. Do not be distracted, for even in the midst of your daily duty you can lift your mind and heart to pray for souls and for a final outpouring of Divine Mercy over the world. You see how world events, both natural and man-made are escalating? The time is upon you. And now the Son of Man will be handed over to be crucified once more. Do not despair—for a glorious resurrection awaits on the other side of the tomb. Believe, hope, trust, and do not stop praying!”

Lord Jesus, I believe, hope, and trust in you. May your mercy be a flood over the whole world. May sinners be saved, that your kingdom may come. Amen.

“My child, do not take these words lightly, for the time for frivolous chatter is at an end. Place all your hope in my mercy. Tell all who will listen about the hope you have found in my mercy. Let the mercy of God be always on your lips and in your heart. Eat, sleep, and breathe mercy, for the time of mercy will not be with you forever; it must give way to the time of judgment. Implore those I send you to throw themselves into my ocean of mercy. Child there is much to come, but my mercy is inexhaustible, especially in this hour. Pray unceasingly for souls and lead all to my mercy.”

Jesus I trust in you. Give me numerous opportunities to speak of your mercy. Send souls to me and open their hearts to your mercy. Give me the words of mercy you long to speak and give me the steadfast love and courage I need to speak those words. Jesus I trust in you. Amen.

“My child, can you fault God for his wrath? Is not the punishment due for sin a just judgment? Yes, I have told you there is much to come, much to endure. This you have heard from prophets, popes, and saints, that the Body of Christ must follow him into his passion and death. Yet, my child, your hope does not end in death, but lives in the resurrection. The glory of the Lord cannot be overcome by death, but death is dissolved in it, darkness is swallowed by light. And this light is unimaginable to the human heart. Rejoice always, my child. I say it again—rejoice! For he comes to rule the world with justice and the peoples with fairness.”

Alleluia Lord! Maranatha—come Lord Jesus! Grant us strength and faith that will not fail. May your kingdom come and your will be done on earth as in heaven. Amen.

“My child, all around you see discord and violence. The evil one has many servants to do his bidding, and he has duped a good many more. But you, my child, must not be afraid. The powers at work in the world today will not triumph. The victory is mine as it was on Calvary. The day will come—and soon—when there will be no doubt about my glory. That day will be terrifying, even to those of faith. I tell you, hold firm. Be steadfast. Repeat unendingly the prayer you have been given for just this time: ‘Jesus I trust in you.’ I will be listening for this prayer and will carry those souls in the wound of my pierced heart. Child I tell you these things so that you may have hope. Place your trust I me and be at peace.”

Lord Jesus I trust in you. Lord Jesus I trust in you. Lord Jesus I trust in you. Have mercy! Amen.

(Since posting this I have come to understand that the Divine Mercy prayer–but especially the image–acts as the lamb’s blood did on the lintels and doorposts of the Israelites before the Passover–a sign of protection.  We cannot overestimate the power of this prayer and image now and in the time to come. God of mercy, may your name be praised forever for this unimaginable gift! Jesus I trust in you!)

“My beloved, the day of the Lord will be terrible indeed! God’s justice against the wickedness of this age will leave no stone unturned. All will be revealed, and each offense accounted for. Those who have recourse to my mercy, however, have nothing to fear. My limitless mercy is an ocean—those who have recourse to my mercy, their sin will be as a grain of sand in that ocean. My child, by your prayers and sacrifices, bring countless souls into the ocean of my mercy. Stand in the breach and immerse them so that when the day comes, they will accept the great gift of mercy with humble gratitude. Those who cling with pride to their sin will feel the full brunt of justice. My child—pray for souls!”

Lord Jesus, in the Divine Will I offer all my prayers for souls, having placed my every need in our Mother’s Immaculate Heart. May every breath I take be a prayer for mercy. Jesus I trust in you to grant the grace of conversion to all souls, especially those in most need of your mercy. Amen.

“My child, be at peace. There is no reason to fear. Your Shepherd will be with you even when earthly shepherds are scarce. I will gather you as a hen gathers her chicks. Remain with me, and you will be filled with joy even in adversity. Your hope and promise is in your King who comes to rule the world with justice and the peoples with fairness. Accept no counterfeits. Those who walk in the Spirit of Truth will know the counterfeit from the King of Kings. Trust in me and be at peace. Draw near.”

Lord Jesus, I hide in the wound of your pierced heart. I ask your help and protection for all your faithful. Draw many more into the fount of mercy. Jesus I trust in you. Amen.
