“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

1 John 4:16 We have come to know and to believe in the love God has for us. God is love, and whoever remains in love remains in God and God in him.

“Oh my beloved, do you comprehend? Do you know and believe what angels themselves cannot fully understand? Complete love cannot be so much as imagined by mere creatures. It is a great miracle that perfect love lowers himself to dwell in the hearts of sinful creatures. Yet that is what he does. Love descends as a lover—pure desire, purely desiring his beloved. Do not make him wait. Open your heart as a flower opens to the sun in complete trust and need, expecting and receiving all it needs, wants, and dreams of in one perfect glance. Let your Lord, your Love exalt your lowly heart. Let go of all that tethers you to earth. Be ready to part with all, and your beloved will shower you with more than everything. He is in you—there is nothing you shall want.”

My Lord, my Love! How can I, weak and sinful as I am, accept such a gift of perfect love? Yet in complete trust and total reliance on your faithfulness, I enter into the Breath of Love. Here I am Lord, I come to live in your love.

1 John 4:15 Whoever acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God remains in him and he in God.

“My child, do you comprehend the beauty and simplicity of this promise? Can you fathom the love and humility of your God, who stoops to the level of mere creatures on a solitary act of faith? But that is what your Lord does. To those who believe in him and acknowledge that Jesus, Son of God, has come into the world, all of heaven is granted. For where God is acknowledged, there he is, and where he is, there dwells the unity of heaven, the Gloriana*. Conversely, my child, where Jesus is not acknowledged, but is denied openly, there disunity, disharmony, and chaos abound. Where heaven is absent, hell rushes in. My child, pray for souls and pray for the world, for Christ is being denied as never before. Heaven weeps.”

O my God, Jesus, Son of the living God come in the flesh, I believe, hope, and trust in you, and I ask pardon for all those who do not believe, hope, or trust in you. For the sake of his sorrowful passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world. Amen.

(*Gloriana: The angels and saints in perfect communion with the Blessed Trinity; the perfect unity of heaven.)

1 John 4:13 This is how we know that we remain in him and he in us, that he has given us of his Spirit.

“My beloved, what more do you need as proof of my love and presence? Enter into the Breath of Love that flows between the Father and the Son. This never-ending stream of love is waiting to receive you if you but desire to live in the love of the Father and the Son. You do not know and cannot imagine the magnitude of this gift. Accept it with humble gratitude, as you can never hope to merit it. Our Mother came closest to meriting this love and yet even she needed grace to receive grace. It was her abject , perfect humility that was her merit, her total acknowledgment of God’s power at work in her. Ponder these things as she did. Be small and filled with gratitude as she was. This is the path to perfection, a path she walked flawlessly.”

Jesus in Mary, how can I thank you for such a magnitude of generosity? Blessed Trinity of love I offer you the perfect gratitude of the Blessed Mother for this unimaginable gift.

“My child, that is a precious offering. Make it often.”

Jesus in Mary I worship you. Amen.

1 Corinthians 12: I will rather boast boast gladly of my weaknesses, in order that the power of Christ may dwell with me.

“My beloved, do not seek power in earthly things. Earthly power is fleeting, fickle, and frail. But link your struggles to mine, acknowledging your weakness, and all the power of heaven will be at your disposal. A contrite heart, one whose weakness is exposed, one who is willing to rely on me for everything, that soul is adorned with the power of heaven. Especially in these day, my child, when my dwindling flock is facing persecution on so many fronts–even within the church itself–especially now is my power made perfect in your weakness. Do not be afraid of your weakness, but show it to me and my love will transform it. You may not know in this life all I have accomplished thorough this act, but in eternity it will amaze you to see all that was wrought through your wretchedness offered in love and humility. My child, walk with me at all times and be at peace.”

Lord Jesus, your generosity knows no bounds! What poor gifts we offer, and what rich gifts they purchase. Thanks be to God, generous, merciful, compassionate, and just. Blessed Trinity of love, all glory and praise to you! Amen.

1 John 4:5 They belong to the world; accordingly, their teaching belongs to the world, and the world listens to them.

“My child, do you see how this is being played out again in your day? And not just played out, but multiplied. The enemy of souls is disseminating his lies at a rate never before seen in history. He has an army of followers-some unwitting, but nevertheless they are serving the prince of lies. Child, continue to pray, to speak the truth in love, and to walk humbly with the God of truth and love. In this way you will be an antidote to the poison that is spreading so rapidly to cover the earth, causing the ruin of souls. Child, I am near.”

My Jesus, God of truth and love, be with me always. Holy Spirit of truth, grant that all who know and love you will receive a fresh outpouring of your gifts for the sake of the kingdom. Amen.

Matthew 12:34 You brood of vipers, how can you say good things when you are evil? For from the fullness of the heart the mouth speaks.

“My child, there is a great deception at work in the world. Many give the appearance of goodness while their hearts are far from me. They not only deceive others, but they deceive themselves if they think that goodness may be gained apart from me. The human heart is incapable of true goodness on its own power. Good deeds, perhaps, but always with a gain, which is not true goodness. When one has an earthly reward-even in satisfaction-then the act is in some way self-serving. True goodness comes when one serves the will of God with no hope or expectation of reward. Then the will of God is served, not the self. If praise comes or condemnation, it is all the same to the one whose heart belongs to me. Child, ponder these things and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart.”

Jesus help me. Mary, teach me how to imitate your Son in meekness and true goodness. Jesus I love you. 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.

“My beloved, be simple, be small.”

How Lord?

“By imitating my Mother. Everything she did radiated sublime humility. She never pointed to herself, but always to me. Each act of love directed to her-and there were many-she redirected to me, in her heart so as not to offend the giver. She kept nothing for herself. Even now when all of heaven is hers to command, she does everything for the glory of Jesus her Son. If you kiss her feet she kisses mine. What beauty it is to have your kisses magnified in her! It is the same with your prayers and words of love. All you give to her comes to me glowing with her purity. There, I have told you the secret to simplicity; it is my Mother, OUR Mother. Imitate her and I will never be far away.”

Lord Jesus in Mary, I love you! Blessed Mother of Jesus and all, teach me how to give all to Jesus through you. Keep me simple and small for the sake of your love and my soul. Amen.

“My child, many, many people dictate to the Lord, remaking him in their image. This is an abomination! It is the sin of pride. Let my people come humbly before him, asking, not demanding, seeing to know him, not seeking to mold him. Child, the Lord has wearied of this generation. Again I tell you, do not cease to pray!”

My beloved Lord, have mercy on this generation. Let hearts be converted to you, O Lord. Let the humility of the Blessed Mother and her Divine Son reign over every heart and triumph over all sin. Jesus, save us! Amen.
