                    To operate in the embrace of the
                Trinity I realize since a revelation
                I had on Saturday evening during the Mass of
                the Ascension — more deeply the embrace of
                the Trinity — the action of the Persons
                of the Trinity in the Holy Sacrifice of
                the Mass is so wonderful. Pray for this
                grace to be wrapped in the embrace of
                the Trinity - at Mass - every moment
                of our lives. For to study and know the
                Love of the Father for the Son and the Son
                for the Father is to know love deeply —
                to be in love's embrace, in deep unity —
                The devil wants to tear apart — to divide —

                    Love's embrace is the ever permeating
                grace of the Holy Spirit and knowing
                the oneness of the Holy Spirit and Mary,
                our Mother — Seeing the relationship
                of the Trinity with Mary is a beginning —
                being wrapped in love's embrace of
                love of the Trinity and Mary and me is
                another thing. I exist IN Him —
                IN my God — I know oneness, I
                know love, I am in the TRUTH,
                I know the Father's will — I know
                the love of Father, Son and Holy Spirit and
                I exist in that love of the 3 Persons
                in one God.

                    You may fault me for what I say —
                but I say to you.

                    The wounded human nature is
                so weak. People hear the lies of satan
                in their heads — then they can begin to
                act on satan's lies. Satan comes and
                works in the concupiscence of the
                flesh, the jealous, the lust, the
                pride, envy, etc. — He tells lies
                and a person listens because of the
                imperfect vision they have — they can
                begin to act out of jealousy rather
                than doing the Father's will — they can
                actually stop the work the Father wants
                done because of their pride, envy —
                they act impurely — with imperfect
                vision — satan once again
                tricks someone and they listen — they
                begin feeling left out, afraid someone
                will cut them off, betray them and
                satan can tell lies to work somebody
                up in their thoughts if they give into
                him. We must be discerning, we must
                counsel against the wiles of satan. A
                person can spread gossip about another
                which is untrue, thought out in their
                own thoughts.

                    We must discipline and love and do God's will —
                going to Mass — living in the embrace of
                the Trinity helps us to live in the truth.
                Being one in the love of Mary and the Holy Spirit can
                help us to bring a more perfected person,
                showing the world how Jesus lives
                in us — rather than
                one giving into the lies satan wants to plant
                in our heads.

                    Giving ourselves to the Hearts of Jesus
                and Mary is being caught in
                love's embrace.

 

Excerpt from Tell My People

The Holy Spirit

Jesus: "My beloved friend, tell My people to pray daily to the Holy Spirit. They are to pray for an increase in His gifts. My people must realize that the Holy Spirit comes to transform them. The Spirit desires to transform you more and more according to My image. Those who are docile to His touch become increasingly shaped in My likeness. He performs this marvel within Mary's Immaculate Heart. The more one dwells in My Mother's Heart, the more active are the workings of the Spirit. The Spirit leads Mary to place you within My own Heart. In both Our Hearts, then, your transformation continues. The more you are formed after My own Heart, the more I lead you to the bosom of My Father. Tell My people all this. Tell them to pray daily for a greater appreciation of these wondrous gifts. I am Lord and Master. All who come to My Heart will be on fire to receive the gifts of the Spirit in ever greater measure! I love and bless My people!"

Reflection: The Holy Spirit is given to us to fashion us ever more according to the likeness of Jesus. And the more we are like Jesus, the more Jesus leads us to the Father. Do we, each day, pray to the Holy Spirit to be more open to His transforming influence? Do we strive each day to grow in union with Mary? The greater our union with our Mother, the spouse of the Holy Spirit, the greater is the transforming action of the Holy Spirit within us.

                    Being in the truth —

                    The Father, Son and Holy Spirit
                live in my graced soul —
                God lives in me in a special way
                when I am baptized and in the state of
                grace.

                    Living deeply IN God is preparation
                for a deep life of love with the Trinity
                for eternity —

                    Being permeated with God's grace
                is to live deeply with His life in
                me — knowing and living according to
                the Father's will in love — spreading
                the light of Christ to the world —
                living in truth —

                    The devil wants us to live divided
                in lies. The devil tempts and works
                through our wounded human nature
                spreading his lies.

                    I am a member of the body of
                Christ when I am baptized — when
                I am in the Church — His life lives
                in a special way in
                me when I am in the state of grace —

                    I live in the truth

                    I live more deeply in Him
                Jesus is the way, the truth and the life,
                Satan is the father of lies.

                We must unveil the workings of satan in
                    our lives —

                We must unveil deeper insights
                    into the hidden mysteries.

                How wonderful it is to be a member of
                    the body of Christ living in the
                    world — united to all the Masses all day —
                    Christ lives in my graced soul —
