Schedule for January 27, 2004

January 26, 2004

Jesus speaks:          I call you to come to Me in suffering and in
                            joy.

                                I call you to come to My Sacred Heart, to
                            lay your head down and know My peace
                            and My love.

                                For to you, I give you My burning love and to
                            you I give you My peace, not as the world speaks
                            of peace, but peace to quiet your troubled
                            soul.

                                 In suffering — you know joy deep within —
                                In joy — you smile with My radiant love
                                        in your heart —

                                You know Me in your soul and the very
                                    trial you are suffering becomes a
                                    joy for you are drawn closer to
                                    Me in the trial.

                            Raise up and sing for joy, for I am always with
                                you.

                            Pray to the Holy Spirit, know how much
                                God loves you — experience the fire
                                of My love.

                            Go to your quiet places and talk to your
                                Father — you are little children of your
                                Father.

                            In the most loving father, he looks out for
                                his children, he wants to provide for
                                them, to help them, to love them —

                            Your heavenly Father created you, He loves
                                you so much — He wants you to have the
                                joys of heaven forever.

                            Go to your quiet places, even in deep
                                trials, focus on the Mysteries of
                                the Rosary — meditate on each mystery —
                                ask for a deeper love of God and all others
                                in your hearts —
                                beg for grace that you will have peace in
                                suffering and in joy —

                                Open the pearly gates of your heart and
                                    let love flow in and out —

                                For what is it if you live —
                                    but not to love —
                                    living — real living — is loving —

                                And in the deep suffering, beg for
                                    the quietness of the soul resting
                                    deeply in Me —
                                    In joy there is joy
                                    In suffering there is joy deep in your
                                        soul.

                                Live to be saints —

                                You will become aware more and more of your
                                    dependence on Me, but you will have
                                    to let go of many things — you cannot
                                    be so attached to things - you want them
                                    against God's will —

                                A man wanted something so much — he became
                                    blinded to everything else — It was
                                    not My will that he have what he
                                    wanted — The more he tried to force the
                                    thing he wanted — the more he suffered.

                                Be as an open door — soft and supple — not
                                    demanding your way, but praying
                                    for My will to be done. Pray that you
                                    will know My will and do it.

                                Do not be anxious — look at the little birds
                                    that live and fly so beautifully and
                                    sing songs of joy —

                                    Let go — surrender to the God who loves you —
                                    Be content with what I have given you —
                                    Do not be focused on your problems, once
                                        you have done all you can do —
                                        Pray the rosary —
                                        Meditate on each mystery
                                        Come to Me —
                                        as a bride to the bridegroom
                                        I love thee and I wait for thee —
                                        I want you to come to Me and
                                            spend time with Me —
                                        I am your Savior —
                                        I am all powerful —
                                            I have all the Might —
                                            Rely on My Might —
                                            I am God Almighty —
                                            You can trust in Me.

                                    say

                                    Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, I trust in Thee
                                    Say it over and over again and
                                        carry your picture of the Sacred Heart
                                        in your pocket and purse.

                                    I love you,

                                        I am Jesus — Savior of the world.
