Jesus: My dear child, hold to Me, though
you go through raging waters you will
not drown. I am there with My rod and
My staff and I go before you and I
comfort you and I prepare the way
for you. You do not need to be
afraid, I will help you,
I love them more than you, . . .
Open the door to the raging
fire of My love, Love is
healing – love, love, love –
love one another,
be kind and loving – don’t
take in the hate – be as a ball jar
let it bounce off of you. You are
so special to Me, I am holding your
hand and I am there with you, you are
not alone and I love you. The devil
is a liar. You must try to do all you can.
Know that I love you so much –
you are special to Me. I love you.
Love yourself – you deserve love.
I am your God and I love you and live
in you.

You must keep busy and do My work.
I will work through you every day
guiding you and making your day
worth while. Turn to Me and I
will make your day a day of the Lord.
I will use you to do My work.
I love you and I am with you.
Smile your smiles and be
gentle to those around you.
 

Matthew 5: 13

‘You are salt for the earth. But if salt
loses its taste, what can make it salty
again? It is good for nothing, and can
only be thrown out to be trampled under
people’s feet.
 

Shine your light
so all can see and praise your
heavenly Father in heaven.
In My house there are many mansions.
Many are called but few are chosen.
You are a chosen one,
do My will, shine My light and
I will dwell in you.
Come to Me now. You go not alone
you go with Me doing My work
among your brethren. You
need not worry I will guide you and
lead your troubled heart into
the beauty of leading men. You
are chosen by My Father, I love
you, I want to work in you –
make yourself putty in My
hands and let Me mold you into
My image. I love you.
I will shine My light in the darkness
and make ready a place for you. I am the way,
the truth and the light and I am in your humble
heart, I want to work and love through you,
you are My precious child, oh you beloved
of My Father, loved by Me that I would
lay My life down for you. I came to earth
that you might have life and have it
more abundantly. I am your rock, your
fortress, your way. I am hope for the
weary they know love – My way is direct and
is simple. Give unto others as you would
have them give to you. Some disobey
My laws, they disobey the commandments,
their lives do not make sense, you cannot
make sense out of something that makes
no sense. My life makes sense, it is direct,
you live loving and forgiving. You live in
truth. You are honest. I am He who comforts
you, you are the beloved of My Father.
You are My rose –
You I comfort and love.
Beloved of My Heart, I love you –
Come to Me, know your specialness.
I am He who comforts you, be not afraid,
though you walk in raging waters
you will not drown. I will be there
with My rod and My staff and I will
set your feet on oh so solid ground,
the days of the awakening are coming,
follow your heart, love and cherish
the moments with your children –
you are My beloved, you are My daughter.
God is your Father. Mary is your mother.
You are always watched over by your God
and loved by Mary, lest your foot stumble
and fall – let GO AND LET GOD DO it –
get out of the driver’s seat move over,
let Me have the wheel, I will take you
where and when you need to go – enjoy
the precious moments of your life.

I am your God and I never slumber
or sleep. I am with you always.
            Love you,
                Jesus

R. God is always there loving us in the
toughest battle,

It is there I touch Him, here, and know
the white heat of His Divine love.

Jesus came and died a brutal death so we
could live eternally.

His light never goes out for those who love
Him, even in the battle of life here below.

God fill me with love, it is in love, I am
most like You.
 

November 30, 2024

R. Dear God

You have sent Your precious love into my
heart.

I thank You, my beloved Jesus.

Roses have thorns and yet such beauty.

I see my Savior, the mystery of Christ.

Jesus was a perfect baby, the most beautiful
of all, Jesus, the Son of Man.

And I see the blood on the rose - I see Jesus
crowned with thorns and beaten raw,
covered in blood, red like a red rose, beauty
and blood.
Jesus with thorns for a crown, His Red
Sacred Heart beating with love, Divine love,
Sacred Love - love overflowing with flames
of burning love for men.

Jesus mounted the cross, covered in rose red,
blood, crowned in thorns and He
sacrificed Himself for love of His friends.
Jesus gave His all - infinite Divine love,
beyond our comprehension.

He was whipped raw, bloodied and beaten,
crowned with thorns, exteriorly,
and like a runner running a race, He emptied
Himself, giving the last beat of His Heart,
the last drop of His blood for love.

Open your hearts men, Jesus is pouring love
on us today.

With a kind and generous Heart, He gives
Himself, Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity,
today, to us in the Eucharist.

Oh Jesus, You pour out Your love to me.
You see me here and love me as no other can.

Increase in me my faith, make my interior
disposition one of love, more and more
likened to Thee.

Come to me Lord and possess my soul,
when the weight of the world presses on
us exteriorly, our interior disposition can
be more greatly one in Him and be greater
purified.

It’s about growing in the image and
likeness of Jesus.

It’s about the Blood on the rose.

It’s about eternal life.

Only one thing is important:
Eternal salvation -

God wants us eternally with Him in heaven.

The Mass is the sacrifice of Calvary,
sacramentally made present.

Such a gift, open yourselves to receive.

Jesus died on the cross for our sins.

Jesus outpours His love now.

Open and receive this precious gift.

The body was made for the soul.
The soul made for Him.
Oh Jesus, I love You so.
Amen.

 
Love takes sacrifice.

It’s about eternal life.

Only one thing is important:
Eternal salvation -

God wants us eternally with Him in
heaven.

The Mass is the sacrifice of Calvary,
sacramentally made present.

But God’s love is so sweet in the battle.

I am a weary beat-up soldier, but
interiorly I have grown from this, still
with much imperfection, myself.

What counts is the source of love, it
is Jesus.

The blood on the rose.
Without the death, we could not have
the resurrection.

Dying to one’s selfish freedom is a
life-time journey, but the rewards can
be eternal for ourselves and others.



November 30, 2024

R. What do we get when we refuse to
love?

A hard heart.

The more we love, the more we are
like Jesus.

And the Father sees, when we love and
do God’s will, the Father sees His Son
Jesus in us and He is well pleased.

The road to the Father is the road
following Jesus.

Jesus did the Father’s will, Jesus loved.

And the Father sees Jesus, His Son in
our lives, and He is well pleased.

At the Transfiguration - the Mysteries of
Light -
“This is My beloved Son in whom I am
well pleased, listen to Him.”, the Father said.

Jesus walked the bitter Road in the Passion
to His death, but His death led to the
Resurrection.

Meditate on the Glory of God.
Meditate on the beauty of Christ’s glorified
body at the Resurrection.


See the infinitude of God in looking at
the sky, the waters, the beauty of the earth.

Envision the splendor of Heaven.
Heaven is real, it is a reward promised to
those who love and serve the Lord.

There were two thieves, one on each side
when Jesus was crucified. One was sorry;
one refused to repent. (Luke)

Prepare in the wilderness a highway for
the Lord. (Isaiah)

There were 10 Virgins: 5 were foolish,
5 were wise. (Matthew)

Prepare, you know not the day nor the
hour. (Matthew)

I have set before you, life or death, a
blessing or a curse, choose life that you
may live. (Deutromony)

The soul is immortal, the body is made
for the soul.

Oh God make me more in Your image
and likeness. (Genesis)

Amen.

What good does it do a man to win the
whole world and lose his soul? (Matthew)

Jesus' Heart is overflowing with love for us.
Open your heart to His love.

R. Dear Holy Spirit come to me, possess
my soul, I love You, Holy Spirit.
When I am weak, I am strong in You.
Outpour Your precious love to me. Amen.
I love You, God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Dear Holy Spirit infuse in my intellect
wisdom, knowledge and understanding.
Counsel me Holy Spirit from the mind of
God.

Help me, dear Holy Spirit to know the loving
embrace of God all the days of my life.
I turn to You. Amen.

When I find doing God's desire for my life
difficult give me the gift of fortitude, dear
Holy Spirit.
Sanctify my heart to act purely for the
honor and glory of God.
I may be willing, but I need Your gift to
give me courage to act as You desire.
Help me to know and love the heavenly
Father's will for me and to do it in love
for the honor and glory of God.

Help me to always put God first in my life,
in love for God in my heart.
Help me to walk realizing, I am the creature,
God is the Creator.

Help me to be patient and strong and
persevere in my life until I rest with Thee
forever in heaven.

Please Holy Spirit give me the gift of fear
of God that I do not offend you in sins
of unloving ways against God.
You are so good and deserving of all my
love.
I worship You and love You -
Help my interior disposition at Mass to be
that of purity in pleasing the Heavenly
Father, in my offering united to Jesus in
the Mass.
Dear Holy Spirit please help me in the gift
of piety to do that which pleases my Heavenly
Father with the tenderness as His little child.
Thank you God for all You give to me.
I pray this "All for the honor and Glory of
God". Amen.
 

Matthew 22: 36-40

'Master, which is the greatest commandment of the Law?' Jesus said to him, 'You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and the first commandment. The second resembles it: You must love your neighbour as yourself. On these two commandments hang the whole Law, and the Prophets too.'

Dear Holy Spirit, strengthen our will and
move like a Divine breath in our soul, to
be docile sons and daughters of our
Heavenly Father. Amen.

Alleluia.

How intimately you knew and loved
Jesus and Mary. You were so close to
them. You showed us love.

Your heart was pure and gentle and
yet you were strong in being their
manly protector on earth, intercede

God for all our needs, for when we
are weak we are strong in God.

peaceful and holy death for us and

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

 

Sorrowful Mysteries

The Agony in the Garden

1. Matthew 26: 36-46

Then Jesus came with them to a plot of land called Gethsemane; and he said to his disciples, 'Stay here while I go over there to pray.' He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee with him. And he began to feel sadness and anguish. Then he said to them, 'My soul is sorrowful to the point of death. Wait here and stay awake with me.' And going on a little further he fell on his face and prayed. 'My Father,' he said, 'if it is possible, let this cup pass me by. Nevertheless, let it be as you, not I, would have it.' He came back to the disciples and found them sleeping, and he said to Peter, 'So you had not the strength to stay awake with me for one hour? Stay awake, and pray not to be put to the test. The spirit is willing enough, but human nature is weak.' Again, a second time, he went away and prayed: 'My Father,' he said, 'if this cup cannot pass by, but I must drink it, your will be done!' And he came back again and found them sleeping, their eyes were so heavy. Leaving them there, he went away again and prayed for the third time, repeating the same words. Then he came back to the disciples and said to them, 'You can sleep on now and have your rest. Look, the hour has come when the Son of man is to be betrayed into the hands of sinners. Get up! Let us go! Look, my betrayer is not far away.'

2. Jesus sweat blood in the Garden.
3. He knew all the sins of the world.
4. He was willing to suffer for all our sins.
5. Doing God‘s will is doing God‘s will.
6. God is love.
7. To be likened to God, we must love.
8. God is the source of all love.
9. Jesus suffered so because He loves us.
10. Open yourself to receive His love.

 

The Scourging at the Pillar

1. Luke 23: 15-19, 22

...As you can see, the man has done nothing that deserves death, so I shall have him flogged and then let him go.' But as one man they howled, 'Away with him! Give us Barabbas!' (This man had been thrown into prison because of a riot in the city and murder.)

And for the third time he spoke to them, 'But what harm has this man done? I have found no case against him that deserves death, so I shall have him flogged and then let him go.'

2. Jesus was whipped and whipped and
    whipped and whipped and whipped by
    angry man.
3. Anger is a deadly sin.
4. Exteriorly Jesus was a bloody mess.
5. Interiorly Jesus was full of divine love.
6. How is our hearts today?
7. How is our interior life?
8. We may suffer on the outside, but our
    interior life must be rooted in Jesus to
    have happiness.
9. Jesus is the way, the truth and the life.
10. Jesus, I am sorry You were beaten
    for my sins.

 

The Crowning with Thorns

1. Matthew 27: 27-31

Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus with them into the Praetorium and collected the whole cohort round him. And they stripped him and put a scarlet cloak round him, and having twisted some thorns into a crown they put this on his head and placed a reed in his right hand. To make fun of him they knelt to him saying, ‘Hail, king of the Jews!’ And they spat on him and took the reed and struck him on the head with it. And when they had finished making fun of him, they took off the cloak and dressed him in his own clothes and led him away to crucifixion.

2. Life is in Him.
3. Jesus is the King of Kings and Lord
    of Lords.
4. Jesus' head was full of blood.
5. They beat Him on the head.
6. Jesus did not wear a crown of jewels,
    but a crown of thorns.
7. Jesus’ hair was matted with blood.
8. Jesus‘ eyes were full of blood.
9. Jesus‘ mouth was full of blood.
10. Jesus‘ ears were full of blood.

 

The Carrying up the Cross

1. Mark 15: 15-23

So Pilate, anxious to placate the crowd, released Barabbas for them and, after having Jesus scourged, he handed him over to be crucified. The soldiers led him away to the inner part of the palace, that is, the Praetorium, and called the whole cohort together. They dressed him up in purple, twisted some thorns into a crown and put it on him. And they began saluting him, 'Hail, king of the Jews!' They struck his head with a reed and spat on him; and they went down on their knees to do him homage. And when they had finished making fun of him, they took off the purple and dressed him in his own clothes. They led him out to crucify him.

They enlisted a passer-by, Simon of Cyrene, father of Alexander and Rufus, who was coming in from the country, to carry his cross. They brought Jesus to the place called Golgotha, which means the place of the skull. They offered him wine mixed with myrrh, but he refused it.

2. August 23, 1993 - On His Passion

Jesus: My dear child,

I was condemned to death, death on a cross. They gave Me a big cross and made Me carry it. They stood around and glared at Me. It weighed on My shoulder and I pulled at it until it finally moved. Every step was almost impossible as I dragged it, weighing so heavily on My shoulders.

3. Jesus: My shoulder felt as if the bones inside would crack and the cross would fall through to the ground. I couldn’t drag it any more. I tried, I fell. I fell and its weight fell on Me. A guard hit Me with something sharp. It really hurt because he wanted Me to move, and fast!
