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 —
