Song: A Song from Jesus
October 1, 1994
God Calls Us to Love
John 13:34
I give you a new commandment: love one another; you must love one another just as I have loved you.
Matthew 7:7
Ask, and it will be given to you; search, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.
Messenger:
Dear Jesus, I stand at the door of Your Heart and knock to come in. I want entry - to be lost totally and entirely in Thee. I want to be sheltered inside of Your Heart and wrapped deeply in Your infinite love.Jesus:
I call you, child, to love. Love is rooted in Me. I gave My all for love of you. I held nothing back. Love gives freely for the good of the other. Love exists to draw the other closer to God. If your relationship with your brother in anyway separates you from God, it is not love.Love is not haughty, love does not demand its own way, love exists to lead the other to closer union with Me. I loved you to My death. I gave to you My all! I ask you to give your all for your beloved brothers. In loving them, you are loving Me. I live in your brothers. How can you love Me who you do not see, if you do not love your brother who you see.
I am the way. I am the truth. I am the life. I give that you will know Me and know how to love one another. Love your brothers as I have loved you. When they persecute you and holler every evil word against you, love them. This is My way - to lay down My life for My friends.
John 13:34
I give you a new commandment: love one another; you must love one another just as I have loved you.
Messenger:
And to those who heeded His words, their lives were lived in peace and love and they experienced joy in their hearts, for true love brings peace and true love gives joy to the heart of the beholder. It is in loving that you receive, it is in giving that you are rendered to and it is in following the way of Christ that we are led into a life of everlasting happiness.Jesus:
I have not gone. I live with you this day. I am in your brothers. Love them as I have loved you.Messenger:
And He sent them such blessings in such abundance and they knew a little of His unending mercy and love.
St. Paul: There are 3 things that are constant
Faith, Hope and Love
And the greatest of these is love —
We pray dear God for a greater increase
of faith —
We pray to have more and more the vision
of the Father —
From original sin we have distorted
vision of God
distorted vision of others —
distorted vision of self —
We tell others we love them by speech —
God gives us a soul —
We speak to others about our soul —
We do not touch the soul, but
the love we have for God and
others is real —
We hear and we see the ones
we love —
God wants us to be intimate
with Him —
Jesus came to this earth —
God speaks in His Word —
God touches our soul —
The Father, Son and Holy Spirit dwell in the
graced baptized soul —
Today's Readings —
Galatians 1: 6-12
I am astonished that you are so promptly turning away from the one who called you in the grace of Christ and are going over to a different gospel–not that it is another gospel; except that there are trouble-makers among you who are seeking to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we ourselves or an angel from heaven preaches to you a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let God's curse be on him. I repeat again what we declared before: anyone who preaches to you a gospel other than the one you were first given is to be under God's curse. Whom am I trying to convince now, human beings or God? Am I trying to please human beings? If I were still doing that I should not be a servant of Christ.
Now I want to make it quite clear to you, brothers, about the gospel that was preached by me, that it was no human message. It was not from any human being that I received it, and I was not taught it, but it came to me through a revelation of Jesus Christ.
Psalm 111: 1-2, 7-8, 9-10
Alleluia!
I give thanks to Yahweh with all my heart,
in the meeting–place of honest people, in the assembly.
Great are the deeds of Yahweh,
to be pondered by all who delight in them.The works of his hands are fidelity and justice,
all his precepts are trustworthy,
established for ever and ever,
accomplished in fidelity and honesty.Deliverance he sends to his people,
his covenant he imposes for ever;
holy and awesome his name.
The root of wisdom is fear of Yahweh;
those who attain it are wise.
His praise will continue for ever.
Luke 10: 25-37
And now a lawyer stood up and, to test him, asked, ‘Master, what must I do to inherit eternal life?’ He said to him, ‘What is written in the Law? What is your reading of it?’ He replied, ‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind, and your neighbour as yourself.’ Jesus said to him, ‘You have answered right, do this and life is yours.’
But the man was anxious to justify himself and said to Jesus, ‘And who is my neighbour?’ In answer Jesus said, ‘A man was once on his way down from Jerusalem to Jericho and fell into the hands of bandits; they stripped him, beat him and then made off, leaving him half dead. Now a priest happened to be travelling down the same road, but when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side. In the same way a Levite who came to the place saw him, and passed by on the other side. But a Samaritan traveller who came on him was moved with compassion when he saw him. He went up to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring oil and wine on them. He then lifted him onto his own mount and took him to an inn and looked after him. Next day, he took out two denarii and handed them to the innkeeper and said, "Look after him, and on my way back I will make good any extra expense you have." Which of these three, do you think, proved himself a neighbour to the man who fell into the bandits’ hands?’ He replied, ‘The one who showed pity towards him.’ Jesus said to him, ‘Go, and do the same yourself.’
In today's 1st reading Paul speaks
of being a slave for Christ —
Saint Francis was surely a
slave for Christ — We should ask
ourselves do I act for the honor
and glory of God — do I act because
I am humble and faith-filled, with
hope in my heart and out of love
for God and all men — Do I act
as the Father wills for His
honor and glory, do I act
prudently, temperately, justly,
and with courage —
Or do I stoop to act impurely —
as it were, where I see through
jealous eyes, envious eyes,
prideful eyes, angry eyes, a
slothful heart, a lustful
heart, a gluttonous heart —
Have I focused on what image
of myself I want before men
and failed to focus on my
image and likeness to God —
to act to serve the Divine God —
all loving who deserves my
love, my service, my all —
Have I stooped to live to
please men, please myself
against God's will for my vain
glory when God clearly has
blessed me and loved me and
made His will known to me and
with my free will I chose
death not life for myself
and tore down those around
me living to build My heavenly
Father's Kingdom —
The Kingdom of God is
at hand and it is in our
hearts made for loving God,
others and myself according
to God's will —
Jesus: A man went out to sow
seed and he planted good
seed and it fell on rich
ground, but in the night
the enemy came and sowed
weeds —
Oh you beloved of My Father —
the will of the Father I make
clear to you in your heart, but many
have clogged their hearts and have
listened to satan who wants
to take you home with him.
I came to give you life that
you would have it abundantly
and be with Me in heaven and
while you are travelers on
this earth — build My Kingdom
in your hearts and among the
men I have put there with you,
but, little one, you are not
hearing Me — many of you
turn a deaf ear when I speak
so clearly and hurt yourselves
spiritually and set traps that
are intended to hurt your
brothers.
Come unto Me, oh weary
traveler of Mine, I am
a God of justice and Might —
I judge your works justly
and to those who love and serve Me,
as I desire, I give a heavenly reward —
a reward in heaven — your true
home forever —
Can I write to you this day,
any more clear than this, those
who turn away choose willingly
their own fate — and they think
they will come to Me and say
"Oh, I didn't know" and I
will cast them to the darkness —
Song: I Am a God of Justice
Jesus: ... for I told them and they gave
into their evil hearts over
and over again and
I cried to them in My great
love and they abandoned My
call — for their evil ways —
To you much has been
given and you have
smited your God who
counseled and loved you -
Oh little one, Child of My
Father — there is but
one truth — the truth I
give you and you turn away —
Don't say to Me I did not
know when I spoke so
clearly to you and you
chose to rebel and punish
others and I cried Blood
for your sins in the garden —
I sweat blood for your "no" —
I knew the anger of these sheepish
lying hearts and the blood
in My passion filled My
tongue until I spit blood
coming from within My head —
a mouth of blood from the
blows to My Head —
Oh child you may lie to
yourselves of your evil deeds,
but you never lie to Me —
I know your hearts and your
ways — I see those you make
suffer and block My work —
I see your hearts and all who
were not reached after you
because of your sins —
You will never tell me the
ways you do that are vile are
good —
Goodness is from one who
lives by the virtues — goodness
is in them — they have grown
in My image and likeness — the
Spirit of God is in them, acting
through them — loving mankind
through their ways —
You cannot turn a dung
heap pile to flowers — a man
choosing this dirt for his heart
lives in that dirt — a man
choosing a garden of love
in his heart bears roses
even though he sins some —
he is quick to tell Me he is
sorry for offending Me and
others — he is accountable up front —
he is sorry — he makes amends —
he seeks to know his sins to
clean out his heart of debris —
to weed the garden of his heart
and to keep it clean so the
flowers, the sweet fruit pleasing
to the Father is grown for the
children of the world —
Your heart is a garden and
sins held inside are like the
over grown garden of weeds —
soon the good seed withers and
dies as the garden houses the
weeds and their roots become
so big and they choke the
good growth until little or
none remains —
Satan is like this — slowly
moving in — little lies become
habits — more and more vices —
what is truth is soon far
from you — misery sets in
wanting you to see nothing
but the darkness of your
folly —
Oh little baby of My Father — how
tenderly He created you with a
purpose for building His Kingdom
and how you left the evil one
come and rule your heart —
I cried blood in the garden
for your sins — My blood
I sweat for you and it
fell to the ground — lies
are stored in your soul —
guilt you have for not being
truthful about your wrong doings
as if you could fool Me —
I keep you in existence — I
know the love in your heart
for Me and others I am God —
I know your lies, your hatred,
your envy and it made Me
bleed — I was whipped and crowned
with thorns for your sins of
pride —
September 4, 2004
Oh baby, baby of My Father —
I loved you to My death on the
cross — your sins are scarlet
red and you have hurt your
brothers and left a legacy
of dirt for those who come
after you —
Oh precious ones — I love
you to love Me — I wait for
your love— It is you who
live to obey and build My
Kingdom I knew in My
Passion and it was such
sweetness to Me in My
agony — I thought of you
praying in the pew — I knew
your sacrifice — I waited
for you to come to Me and
to adore Me today — I am
remaining with you
in the Eucharist — for I
LOVE YOU SO MUCH
Now is the time to spread
My Blue Books, My letters of
love so, so many will change
from their dark ways and
come to daily Mass and adoration
How I want to be loved by
you today —
How I want you to pray for
your brothers
How I long for obedience,
it is that which is so pleasing
to your heavenly Father —
I obeyed My Father in
all things — to My death
on the cross — My Father
loves you so much —
The Father and I are one —
God loves you child — The
Holy Spirit loves you —
We want to make a home
in you
Pray the Prayer for Union
with Me
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.

I Feed the Hungry Soul
Jesus:
Another person cannot feed your hungry soul. You search, you seek. Your starved soul craves only that which I can give. When your heart is searching for love, come, My sweet dear child, into My Heart. My Mother will take you to the deepest recesses of My Heart. There you will know such comfort - in My Heart on fire for love of you this day.You are a child of dignity. You are precious to Me. You are the creation of the Father. I gave the last drop of My blood for you. This is love - you need grace to realize the immenseness of God's love. You are so special to God, all three Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Mary loves you so much.
You can never be satisfied on this earth. If you find the dearest mother, father, lover, friend, they will not fill you with the love your soul craves. To find Me is to seek Me. You will not be satisfied on this earth.
You, My child, experience longing for My intense love. I love you to want Me. This is how I long for love of each precious soul. I long for them with the most tender Heart, beating and breathing with fire. I never falter. I never grow dim. I am the same, with the same burning love. Come to Me and jump into My precious Heart. I love you so much.
I Love You
April 13, 1994
Words of Jesus. Read before the Tabernacle.
Jesus: How, child, do I, Jesus, tell you I love you? You hold on to silly things when God is in your midst and is ardently loving you. I am Jesus Christ, the Son of God. I am writing to each precious child this day. I am on fire for love of you. I remain in the Eucharist to be with you with My ardent love. I did not want to leave My beloved ones at the Last Supper. I love you so, My dear and ardently loved children. I remain with you this day in the Blessed Sacrament, the same Jesus Who died a brutal death on the Cross.
Do you know I am truly present there? Do you know that God waits every day for you in the tabernacle? Do you comprehend even a minute amount of My love? You will never know of how I love you on earth.
I, Jesus, truly the Son of God, came to earth a man and suffered a brutal death for love of you. I love you so much! I remain with you this day. I long for your love. I want you to come and be with Me in front of the tabernacle. I wait, I yearn for you to come and whisper your love to Me. I am a person and I love you this day, with such an ardent on-fire love! No human could ever compare a speck to My love for you.
I wait, little ones, in the tabernacle. I wait for you to come and receive Me in Communion. I want you to want Me so much you cannot wait to come and receive Me. I want to be the love, the center of your life!
I am Jesus. I am the Son of God. I am writing to you this day. I want to possess your very soul and live in you. I have all you need, sweet ones. Oh, you are so blind! I long for your union with Me. I wrote the book of love. I instituted it, yet you go to the world for your love and do not even come to Me! Oh, I love you, little ones. Little ones, beloved of the Father, loved by the Holy Spirit, mothered by My very own mother! What more can I say? The rest is up to you!
I give you your will with such love and I want your love freely given. I am God. What do you think you could ever need that I do not give you? I am the Savior of this world. I am Jesus, the Son of God. I am waiting for you. I am longing for you. I am yearning for you. I am God. I have all you ever will need!
Surrender this life to Me. Pray My Prayer for Union with Me. I want to possess your soul and operate from your very being. I am Jesus. I am the Son of God. I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus. I am Who am. I died and rose on the third day.
Harken to My call, harken to My pleading. Spend your days in love with Me. Nothing matters unless it is rooted in Me and rooted in My love. I am the Son of God. I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus. I love you with the tenderest love. I am waiting this day for just you, My beloved one. Come to Me for I am the tenderest of all hearts. I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
