                January 13, 2015

                Jesus: And so I test your faith – Like
                Abraham – Do you believe or do
                you want a sign, when the gift
                I give you is enough and your
                faith is weak or you would believe
                the gift I give you is a gift, is
                real, is how I want to reach
                My precious souls with My
                gifts. Saints and angels surround
                you and I am giving to you
                great gifts in these writings –

                China is a most holy place –

                Song: China Song

                Why would I give you such a
                gift as to be truly present
                in the Exposed Eucharist and
                not send My special gifts
                and blessing – despite those
                of waning faith, despite any
                adversity from men –

                    Oh child I am giving great
                gifts on the 13th –
                from China –

                China is for My purpose –
                A person coming is to support
                you and what I have asked
                you to do –
                    is to come and see what
                you are doing under My
                direction –

                A person coming doesn't
                come to be the attention and
                run the show –
                they come to fit into and help
                the work in progress –
                the retreats going on for
                1/2 month already –

                My plan is, just that –
                in progress at the Centers –
                My gifts are given at the
                Centers – blessing for those
                who come to support My
                plan –

                    They come to help
                    They come to do what is
                        being done - with
                        the people in
                        community - doing
                        it –

                What a gift My community,
                My plan is –

                What a gift and what blessings
                    I give –

                They come to help with My Plan –

                They come to serve in what is
                    in progress –

                I love you so much –

                I outpour such blessings
                for those who come to
                participate and support the
                Plan in progress –

                Faith –

                I am here and some do not
                    even see the miracles
                    every day from a few
                    people –

                What a blessing to have
                this loyal community –

                Your prayers on the 13th
                    are helping the whole
                    world –

                Pray with all your heart –
                Pray with faith –

                Know My Centers are
                    blessed places and
                    believe it –

                    I am Jesus, the Son of God
                I have blessed you –
                Have faith –
                Trust in Me –
                This is My Center –
                This is My Plan

                I am with you here –
                Mary is with you here –

                I am God –

                What goes on here in love
                    with a few people
                    is because I am
                    in it giving you
                    strength to carry out
                    My Plan and
                    you believe –

                You have people working
                    with all their hearts
                    on My Plan as I
                    have asked for –

                I am with you –

                I am Jesus, the Son of God –

                I love you –

                Oh ye of little faith –

                Reach for the stars –

                Let your life be molded in
                    God's will –

                Why do you want to try to
                    do your thing –

                My miracles are happening
                    in the lives of those
                    who believe and
                    support what I have
                    asked for –

                Life exists in China –

                This is a community –
                    centered around prayer
                    for the priests, the Church
                    and the world –

                The community is in harmony
                    with My requests –
                    the community operates in love –
                    faith is in their hearts –

                You must believe in the Mission –
                    I am behind this –
                    I have given great graces –
                    My plan is for the renewal
                        of the Church and
                        the world –

                My plan is to pray for
                    My chosen priests
                    in a world where
                    wolves are attacking –

                I sent My priests to bring
                    My love to the people –

                Love is giving –

                Love comes in following
                    through –

                Not giving then doing it
                    for your own self-
                    promotion – so you
                    take it back –
                    using your giving as a
                    manipulator –

                I gave to My death –
                I gave in perfect love –
                I gave My all
                to the last beat of My Heart –
                to the last drop of My Blood –

                I gave in love –
                To you –
                loves sees things through –
                in gifts given –
                not in manipulating others –

                Be true to your heart –
                Give to Give –
                Believe in faith –

                Love to Love – not
                    count the cost and
                    then take an angry turn –

                Love freely –

                I call you to let go and
                Know I am love –
                I love you to My death
                    on the cross –

                Sacrifice –
                    giving and loving –
                    forgiving –

                Jealousy, envy, anger, pride,
                    holding revenge has
                    no place in a pure
                    heart –

                If I gave you more signs –
                    would that increase
                    faith?

                Faith is believing without
                    seeing –
                    faith is seeing the
                        big plan –
                    faith is seeing the
                        vision - of God

                Giving yourself in love
                    Loving is willing to
                        give what God
                        asks of you –
                    Not for your selfish gain –

                Faith and love
                    Give and know love
                    Give love to God               

                Feel the freedom of flying –

                Don't try to control God's
                    plan –
                    it is foolish –

                Obedience to God's will
                    means
                    Surrender to God's Plan
                    in love –
                   

Prayer for Union with Jesus

Come to me, Lord, and possess my soul. Come into my heart and permeate my soul. Help me to sit in silence with You and let You work in my heart.

    I am Yours to possess. I am Yours to use. I want to be selfless and only exist in You. Help me to spoon out all that is me and be an empty vessel ready to be filled by You. Help me to die to myself and live only for You. Use me as You will. Let me never draw my attention back to myself. I only want to operate as You do, dwelling within me.

    I am Yours, Lord. I want to have my life in You. I want to do the will of the Father. Give me the strength to put aside the world and let You operate my very being. Help me to act as You desire. Strengthen me against the distractions of the devil to take me from Your work.

    When I worry, I have taken my focus off of You and placed it on myself. Help me not to give in to the promptings of others to change what in my heart You are making very clear to me. I worship You, I adore You and I love You. Come and dwell in me now.

-God's Blue Book, January 17, 1994

 

 

A Prayer for Intimacy with the Lamb, the Bridegroom of the Soul

     Oh Lamb of God, Who take away the sins of the world, come and act on my soul most intimately. I surrender myself, as I ask for the grace to let go, to just be as I exist in You and You act most intimately on my soul. You are the Initiator. I am the soul waiting Your favors as You act in me. I love You. I adore You. I worship You. Come and possess my soul with Your Divine Grace, as I experience You most intimately.

                    Mother of us

                the Church's model

                Jesus: Let your light shine –

                You are the salt of the earth

                Pray for those who persecute you

                If you forgive others, you
                    can ask your Father to
                    forgive you –

                Store up treasures in heaven –
                    All possessions should be
                        according to His will –

                Where your treasure is –
                    that is where your heart
                    is

                Let your eyes be the lamp
                    of the body –
                    seek God's light –
                    not darkness

                Man is dependent on God –
   

John 15: 1-8

I am the true vine,
and my Father is the vinedresser.
Every branch in me that bears no fruit
he cuts away,
and every branch that does bear fruit
     he prunes
to make it bear even more.
You are clean already,
by means of the word
     that I have spoken to you.
Remain in me, as I in you.
As a branch cannot bear fruit all by itself,
unless it remains part of the vine,
neither can you unless you remain in me.
I am the vine,
you are the branches.
Whoever remains in me, with me in him,
bears fruit in plenty;
for cut off from me you can do nothing.
Anyone who does not remain in me
is thrown away like a branch
—and withers;
these branches are collected
     and thrown on the fire
and are burnt.
If you remain in me
and my words remain in you,
you may ask for whatever you please
and you will get it.
It is to the glory of my Father
      that you should bear much fruit
and be my disciples.

2 Peter 1: 3-7

The generosity of God

By his divine power, he has lavished on us all the things we need for life and for true devotion, through the knowledge of him who has called us by his own glory and goodness. Through these, the greatest and priceless promises have been lavished on us, that through them you should share the divine nature and escape the corruption rife in the world through disordered passion. With this in view, do your utmost to support your faith with goodness, goodness with understanding, understanding with self–control, self–control with perseverance, perseverance with devotion, devotion with kindness to the brothers, and kindness to the brothers with love.

 

1 Corinthians 10: 31

       Whatever you eat, then, or drink, and whatever else you do, do it all for the glory of God.

 

Romans 6: 1-11

Baptism

What should we say then? Should we remain in sin so that grace may be given the more fully? Out of the question! We have died to sin; how could we go on living in it? You cannot have forgotten that all of us, when we were baptised into Christ Jesus, were baptised into his death. So by our baptism into his death we were buried with him, so that as Christ was raised from the dead by the Father’s glorious power, we too should begin living a new life. If we have been joined to him by dying a death like his, so we shall be by a resurrection like his; realising that our former self was crucified with him, so that the self which belonged to sin should be destroyed and we should be freed from the slavery of sin. Someone who has died, of course, no longer has to answer for sin. But we believe that, if we died with Christ, then we shall live with him too. We know that Christ has been raised from the dead and will never die again. Death has no power over him any more. For by dying, he is dead to sin once and for all, and now the life that he lives is life with God. In the same way, you must see yourselves as being dead to sin but alive for God in Christ Jesus.

 

2 Corinthians 4: 7-11

The hardships and hopes of the apostolate

But we hold this treasure in pots of earthenware, so that the immensity of the power is God’s and not our own. We are subjected to every kind of hardship, but never distressed; we see no way out but we never despair; we are pursued but never cut off; knocked down, but still have some life in us; always we carry with us in our body the death of Jesus so that the life of Jesus, too, may be visible in our body. Indeed, while we are still alive, we are continually being handed over to death, for the sake of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus, too, may be visible in our mortal flesh.

 

Galatians 2: 19-24

In fact, through the Law I am dead to the Law so that I can be alive to God. I have been crucified with Christ and yet I am alive; yet it is no longer I, but Christ living in me. The life that I am now living, subject to the limitation of human nature, I am living in faith, faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave himself for me. I am not setting aside God’s grace as of no value; it is merely that if saving justice comes through the Law, Christ died needlessly.

  

John 15: 11-17

I have told you this
so that my own joy may be in you
and your joy be complete.
This is my commandment:
love one another,
as I have loved you.
No one can have greater love
than to lay down his life for his friends.
You are my friends,
if you do what I command you.
I shall no longer call you servants,
because a servant does not know
the master’s business;
I call you friends,
because I have made known to you
everything I have learnt from my Father.
You did not choose me,
no, I chose you;
and I commissioned you
to go out and to bear fruit,
fruit that will last;
so that the Father will give you
anything you ask him in my name.
My command to you
is to love one another.

  

1 Corinthians 2: 6-16

    But still, to those who have reached maturity, we do talk of a wisdom, not, it is true, a philosophy of this age or of the rulers of this age, who will not last long now. It is of the mysterious wisdom of God that we talk, the wisdom that was hidden, which God predestined to be for our glory before the ages began. None of the rulers of the age recognised it; for if they had recognised it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory; but it is as scripture says: What no eye has seen and no ear has heard, what the mind of man cannot visualise; all that God has prepared for those who love him; to us, though, God has given revelation through the Spirit, for the Spirit explores the depths of everything, even the depths of God. After all, is there anyone who knows the qualities of anyone except his own spirit, within him; and in the same way, nobody knows the qualities of God except the Spirit of God. Now, the Spirit we have received is not the spirit of the world but God’s own Spirit, so that we may understand the lavish gifts God has given us. And these are what we speak of, not in the terms learnt from human philosophy, but in terms learnt from the Spirit, fitting spiritual language to spiritual things. The natural person has no room for the gifts of God’s Spirit; to him they are folly; he cannot recognise them, because their value can be assessed only in the Spirit. The spiritual person, on the other hand, can assess the value of everything, and that person’s value cannot be assessed by anybody else. For: who has ever known the mind of the Lord? Who has ever been his adviser? But we are those who have the mind of Christ.
