6th Day
From May 18, 2005 message
Prayer for these 17 days —
Dear God help me to be other focused —
Help me to be a source of joy.
Help me to thank You for the gifts
You have given me.
Help me not to block the work
you have called us to do by
focusing on myself —
When pilgrims come, help me
to have grace to spread
the message You have
called me to spread.
Dear God help me to be holy — to see
I am a little link in the big
chain, a single link to help
lead the world into oneness
and love. When I focus on
myself and do not do the work
of being a light and I am
to talk to pilgrims I can
miss an opportunity to spread
your love, through the materials,
prayers, letters of love, consecration,
morning offering You have asked
me to spread.
Dear God thank You for calling me to
be an apostle, (handmaid, servant
etc.) help me to do Your will.

Jesus speaks: I am the
Lamb of God —
I call you to be My Spouse.
I want you holy.
If you sin, say you are sorry —
Help all to do the will of God —
Do not be selfishly possessive—
A person living in fear can bring about
problems —
Deeper union with Me is your priority —
Deeper union with Me will make you
happiest
I am a God of justice
Let the bell toll every time a Mass is
celebrated —
Pray for forgiveness at the beginning of
Mass
Beg Me for help —
My children, forgive one another — ask God
to give you grace
Sirach 17: 20-24
Their iniquities are not hidden from him,
all their sins are before the Lord.
Almsgiving is like a signet ring to him,
he cherishes generosity like the pupil of an eye.
One day he will rise and reward them,
he will repay their deserts on their own heads.
But to those who repent he permits return,
and he encourages those who have lost hope.

Jesus speaks: If you lie
to yourselves about your sin you will
not have deep union with Me —
long for oneness with Me with all your
heart
Psalm 32: 1-2, 5-7
How blessed are those whose offence is forgiven,
whose sin is blotted out.
How blessed are those to whom Yahweh imputes no guilt,
whose spirit harbours no deceit.I made my sin known to you,
did not conceal my guilt.
I said, 'I shall confess
my offence to Yahweh.'
And you, for your part, took away my guilt,
forgave my sin. PauseThat is why each of your faithful ones prays to you
in time of distress.
Even if great floods overflow,
they will never reach your faithful.
You are a refuge for me,
you guard me in trouble,
with songs of deliverance you surround me. Pause

Jesus speaks:
If you
hide your sins - you lie to
yourself and this blocks your
union with Me
Mark 10: 17-27
He was setting out on a journey when a man ran up, knelt before him and put this question to him, ‘Good master, what must I do to inherit eternal life?’ Jesus said to him, ‘Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone. You know the commandments: You shall not kill; You shall not commit adultery; You shall not steal; You shall not give false witness; You shall not defraud; Honour your father and mother.’ And he said to him, ‘Master, I have kept all these since my earliest days.’ Jesus looked steadily at him and he was filled with love for him, and he said, ‘You need to do one thing more. Go and sell what you own and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.’ But his face fell at these words and he went away sad, for he was a man of great wealth.
Jesus looked round and said to his disciples, ‘How hard it is for those who have riches to enter the kingdom of God!’ The disciples were astounded by these words, but Jesus insisted, ‘My children,’ he said to them, ‘how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God! It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for someone rich to enter the kingdom of God.’ They were more astonished than ever, saying to one another, ‘In that case, who can be saved?’ Jesus gazed at them and said, ‘By human resources it is impossible, but not for God: because for God everything is possible.’
May 23, 2005 message continues
Jesus speaks: Wisdom is being one with Me.
When you hide your sin from yourself —
When you are ruled by the thoughts "I am
perfect" — you lie to yourselves —
The "all-perfect" attitude which is the fault
of many, keeps one stuck in their
imperfections.
To be in competition with those over you
keeps your heart in lack of peace and
your actions can be tainted.
One can act in harmony, loving and serving
God — doing things for the honor and
glory of God.
Another person can do all their actions
for selfish pride to prove they are
great — whatever the reason it is
not pure.

149. THREE CLASSES OF MEN
This is a meditation for the same fourth day
to choose that which is betterPRAYER. The usual preparatory prayer.
150. FIRST PRELUDE. This is the history of the Three
Classes of Men. Each of them has acquired ten thou-
sand ducats, but not entirely as they should have, for
the love of God. They all wish to save their souls and
find peace in God our Lord by ridding themselves of
the burden arising from the attachment to the sum ac-
quired, which impedes the attainment of this end.151. SECOND PRELUDE. This is a mental representation
of the place. Here it will be to behold myself standing
in the presence of God our Lord and of all His saints,
that I may know and desire what is more pleasing to
His Divine Goodness.152. THIRD PRELUDE. This is to ask for what I desire.
Here it will be to beg for the grace to choose what is
more for the glory of His Divine Majesty and the sal-
vation of my soul.153. THE FIRST CLASS. They would like to rid them-
selves of the attachment they have to the sum acquired
in order to find peace in God our Lord and assure their
salvation, but the hour of death comes, and they have
not made use of any means.154. THE SECOND CLASS. They want to rid themselves
of the attachment, but they wish to do so in such a
way that they retain what they have acquired, so that
God is to come to what they desire, and they do not
decide to give up the sum of money in order to go to
God, though this would be the better way for them.155. THE THIRD CLASS. These want to rid themselves
of the attachment, but they wish to do so in such a way
that they desire neither to retain nor to relinquish the
sum acquired. They seek only to will and not will as
God our Lord inspires them, and as seems better for the
service and praise of the Divine Majesty. Meanwhile,
they will strive to conduct themselves as if every attach-
ment to it had been broken. They will make efforts
neither to want that, nor anything else, unless the
service of God our Lord alone move them to do so.
As a result, the desire to be better able to serve God our
Lord will be the cause of their accepting anything or
relinquishing it.156. THREEFOLD COLLOQUY. I will make use of the
same three colloquies employed in the preceding con-
templation on Two Standards.
From The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius,
by Louis J. Puhl, S.J.p. 11
21. SPIRITUAL EXERCISES
Which have as their purpose the conquest of self
and the regulation of one's life in such a way that
no decision is made under the influence of any
inordinate attachment
p. 12
23. FIRST PRINCIPLE AND FOUNDATION
Man is created to praise, reverence and serve God
our Lord, and by this means to save his soul.
p. 25
46. PRAYER. In the preparatory prayer I will beg God
our Lord for grace that all my intentions, actions,
and operations may be directed purely to the
praise and service of His Divine Majesty.

Messenger: I live for the purpose to attain eternal salvation
—
to give glory to God
to love God
to love all others
Jesus speaks: Some live
to attain glory for themselves.
It is a habitual habit.
They do things to ultimately serve themselves.
Others are like lost children, they have
lost their way —
But they do not seek the right way
Again I tell you of the power cycle — all
may work toward a common goal and
one person gives into satan to be
selfish, disharmonious and draw the
energy from everyone else —
the purpose being to get all the attention
for themselves and block the big
work.
1 John 2: 29 - 3: 6
If you know that he is upright
you must recognise that everyone
whose life is upright
is a child of his.You must see what great love
the Father has lavished on us
by letting us be called God’s children—
which is what we are!
The reason why the world
does not acknowledge us
is that it did not acknowledge him.
My dear friends,
we are already God’s children,
but what we shall be in the future
has not yet been revealed.
We are well aware that when he appears
we shall be like him,
because we shall see him as he really is.Whoever treasures this hope of him
purifies himself, to be as pure as he is.
Whoever sins, acts wickedly,
because all sin is wickedness.Now you are well aware
that he has appeared
in order to take sins away,
and that in him there is no sin.
No one who remains in him sins,
and whoever sins
has neither seen him nor recognised him.
John 1: 29-34
The next day, he saw Jesus coming towards him and said, ‘Look, there is the lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world. It was of him that I said, "Behind me comes one who has passed ahead of me because he existed before me." I did not know him myself, and yet my purpose in coming to baptise with water was so that he might be revealed to Israel.’ And John declared, ‘I saw the Spirit come down on him like a dove from heaven and rest on him. I did not know him myself, but he who sent me to baptise with water had said to me, "The man on whom you see the Spirit come down and rest is the one who is to baptise with the Holy Spirit." I have seen and I testify that he is the Chosen One of God.’
May 23, 2005 message continues
Jesus speaks: I came
into this world to lead you to the truth —
If one is sinful and lies to himself, he will
remain stuck in his sin —
a wise man, prays to know the truth —
I come to you so sweetly in the Eucharist
to transform you, to make your hearts
shine with love —
I am the Divine God and I feed you with
My Body and My Blood
I love you with the deepest love
Sing: Come unto Me all who are weary
Romans 5: 5-11
and a hope which will not let us down, because the love of God has been poured into our hearts by the Holy Spirit which has been given to us. When we were still helpless, at the appointed time, Christ died for the godless. You could hardly find anyone ready to die even for someone upright; though it is just possible that, for a really good person, someone might undertake to die. So it is proof of God’s own love for us, that Christ died for us while we were still sinners. How much more can we be sure, therefore, that, now that we have been justified by his death, we shall be saved through him from the retribution of God. For if, while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, how much more can we be sure that, being now reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. What is more, we are filled with exultant trust in God, through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have already gained our reconciliation.
Sing: Take Lord Receive
Say Prayer for Union
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
Jesus speaks: How will
you grow in purity in your heart
when you lie to yourselves about your
sins —
Satan keeps people stuck by lying to them —
he uses fallacious reasoning —
A married man may justify it is alright
to look at pornography and to
make flirtatious advances toward
the women at work
- he may justify that his wife is not fulfilling
his needs and therefore it is okay
for him to do so
- the media, movies, etc. may tell him, every body is
being unfaithful —
so after the first steps, he begins
to go deeper and deeper into his
physical contact with other women —
a man playing with fire can get burned if
it rages and becomes out of control
passion is an appetite — you cannot give
into your appetites to have sex with
others
This is one of the sins today that is being
overlooked by many, televisions,
movies do not teach the truth
most of the time, pornography is
abundant at airports, in magazines, internet,
health magazines —
Where is the purity —
Some sins may be more covered up —
Some may lie to themselves and continually manipulate
and cause disharmony with others seeking
power — they may be hard to identify
for one habitually attuned to "flippant"
ways and cruel selfish talk —
People must pray for the grace to be holy —
Going to the Eucharist — feeds the hungry soul
So much grace is outpoured when one spends
time in adoration before the Blessed
Sacrament.
I give you the hourly prayers —
Novena to the Infant of Prague
(to be prayed hourly if possible)
O Jesus, who said, "Ask and you shall receive, seek and you shall find, knock and it shall be opened to you," through the intercession of Mary, Your most holy Mother, I knock, I seek, I ask that my prayer be granted.
O Jesus, who said, "All that you ask of the Father in My Name He will grant you," through the intercession of Mary, Your most holy Mother, I humbly and urgently ask Your Father in Your Name that my prayer be granted.O Jesus, who said, "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but My word shall not pass," through the intercession of Mary, Your most holy Mother, I feel confident that my prayer will be granted.
May 23, 2005 message continues
Jesus speaks: Some may say — oh I don't need to pray for
all that grace — it is easy — I
am happy —
A single person may interact little on
a personal basis with others —
they can keep everything on a business
level and will have little trouble
in intimate relationships — they have none —
they choose to not get close — keep
everybody at arms length —
I call you to love God and love one another —
You must realize that any relationship takes
time. If you give little or no time to your
intimate relationship with Me, Our
relationship will be very shallow or
there can be little closeness to God because
you can ignore God and spend little
time with God
Cling to Me (excerpt)
May 13, 1993
Jesus speaks: My dear child, if you stay close to Me, then I live in you and you live in Me. I am He Who created you and I love you with such an intensity that you will never know. My words are your truth. You must abide in My heart in all things. There is no room for doubt. My ways are steadfast, direct, and without error.
He Is A Personal God, A Real Person! (excerpt)
November 19, 1993
Jesus speaks: I come with My grace to penetrate your soul. You open your heart and I enter in. My Blood washes you clean. I dwell in your heart. I am truly present there. Amen, Amen, I say to you, unless you eat this Body and drink this Blood, you shall not have life in you. You speak from Me. What flows from your mouth is the result of My presence within you. I am He Who writes these letters. You are only My servant. I use you. I give you honor because I come to you, but it is I Who do this writing. Your hand is My hand. I am using you in this work. I want all My letters published in a book-not a few. They were written as words for all to hear. With such material, many will turn their hearts to Me. I became real to you as you read My letters. I am a real person and I want to be known as I am, Son of God, loving and true. I want to be known on a personal basis to all My children. You are only being used. I am writing to My people. You cannot stop the hand of God. You are My candidates to execute this work. I want My letters out and soon. I do not want you to waste any more time. You both have nothing to do with this. You are My servants. This is My task. I want it accomplished. Many hearts will know Me in a new way from these letters.
I have spoken to Rita with all the love I have for each of My children. I am this personal with every soul. If they come to Me they will know this. They need to read and study these letters. Your job is to get them published. I want Rita to talk to her brothers. This will be accomplished in time. The proof of this is in the contents of these letters. No person could have the insight but Me alone. I am commanding you to do this work. Do not tarry.
Do not fear. I go before you and I make ready the path. You will not falter on your way. The road will open as it should. Any obstacles I will remove from your path. It will be transacted as I have planned and you will know this by the love with which it happens.
I am Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God. I live in this world in the hearts of all. I want all to know how alive I truly am. I never go from My people's side. I am vigilant and always there. It is they who move from Me. I want them to be drawn closer to My Sacred Heart, closer and closer through the content of these letters. I am alive. I am here. I am your love. I want all to know this message of love. It is not up to you to question My ways. My ways I make known to you for I want to save every last soul. You will be a big part in helping Me do this with many souls. They are thirsty. They will drink. I love you both very much and appreciate your trust and faith in Me. My ways, I have made clear. Do not tarry. I work before you. I do the work. You will know it is Me because of its ease. If a door shuts, it is not the way I want to go. All doors are open doors in My plan. It is easy to follow.
I love you and I am truly Jesus, Son of the Living God. Your work I bless and I go with you on your way. I am as present here as I was on My death on the cross. You will not fear. You will be fearless and without worry. Be steadfast in delivering these messages to your brothers. It is their souls that are at stake. The world preaches so many awful messages. These are so powerful and will reach men's hearts. I am a personal God. I am a God of love. I am a person Who wants to love My people in a personal way. I will give them these messages through you...

writings to read —
write to Me and then open the Blue Book
and let Me speak to you

Spend time with Me after reception of the
Holy Eucharist —
don't run from the Church —
be with Me — I am with you in a very strong
way 20 minutes after you receive communion
All relationships take time —
If you give little time to your relationship
with Me it will be very shallow.
I Want My Priests to Come Back
January 17, 1994 3:40 a.m.
Jesus speaks: You know I am He Who lifts you up. In one second I can turn your feelings around and lift you up. Constantly pray to Me. You need Me through these times. Remember, I truly died for you on the cross. Remember, little one, I have chosen you to write to Me. Do you think I will ever abandon you? I am a God who truly loves His people. I love you with such ardent love. You must never doubt.
Look into My face and see My gentleness. I am the kindest of all hearts. I am He who knows how to love with such love. Become totally lost in My arms.
Do you think Satan will not taunt you? Put him behind you. You are being guarded by God and His heavenly court. Walk in My ways and the angels walk with you on your path. You are escorted on your way and you are never alone. You are guarded as a precious treasure that is being transported to another place.
You need to put all your cares in My hands. You are developing true trust when you let go and let Me take over. Keep trusting and silence the ugly prompting of Satan who wants you to worry about useless things. Quit worrying and pray and play with your children. I am telling you there is so much peace and grace gained by private prayer with them. I will tend to all the details of your life. Do not worry for one moment. Put your life in My hands. I am here, little one. Read this message and all of them over and over again.
You need to go to the Blue Book for your answers. Your answers are found there. I never leave your side. God is guarding you. Just continue to have a union with Me all through the day. All the prayer time alone with Me in one day is not enough. I want you in constant prayer.
Turn to Me and My Blue Book. This will help many priests to come back and sit before Me in private union with Me. When priests come back to the tabernacle, the flock will begin to be led back to His altar. Priests need to read these letters. They are the preachers. If they do not value their own relationship with Jesus, if they are being led away from Me with busyness, they will not preach the intimate love of Jesus. They are so busy, but it is like throwing out the baby with the bath water. I am the center and their relationship with Me is utmost.
The priests need these messages. They need to have an intimate, close union with Me. They should be preaching "time in front of the tabernacle." They should be preaching My intense love for My people and how I have so much to give. Some sermons are so complicated--yet nothing about union with Me in the Eucharist and in front of the tabernacle.
I want My priests to come back and pray before My tabernacle. I want them to read these messages and make Jesus the Center of their lives. When they are led back to Jesus, they will lead the flock home. Priests need adoration every day for at least an hour. I don't care how busy they are. None of it matters if they are not spending time in private prayer alone with Me. They need to come and get their supplies. They need to quit thinking they are doing it and turn back to turning their lives totally over to Me, to totally letting their burdens and busy lives off at the foot of My cross and letting Me lead the way.
There is not one priest who has so much to do that he cannot do private adoration daily. When the priest comes back to the power in the Eucharist and the tabernacle, the congregation will turn to God for their troubled hearts. Satan has led priests away from Jesus. They are so busy they cannot do all their work, but this must all take second place to praying silently before God and reading His words. These letters will help many priests to come back and be intimate with Jesus.
All the rituals, all the upkeep of the churches, all the little details, and the King of Glory sits alone! You have thrown out the baby with the bath water. You are missing the boat.
I want the priests to read this message. Where is the reverence after Communion and who has even heard it mentioned in the church? Private union with Jesus! What an honor! I have all you need. Come to Me and I will give you rest. I am all powerful. I have all the power. I am hyper--vigilant over your lives. I guard you. Quit trying to do it yourselves. Become selfless and let Me possess your souls.
Have the priests spread these messages. Read them in church. I want adoration of the Eucharist back. I want people to know I am God and I am coming to them in Holy Communion. I want the Blessed Sacrament exposed. I want My churches open. Union with Jesus, the love of Jesus, trust, faith, love for one another, love of God--I want all of these preached from the pulpit!
I am the Alpha and the Omega. I want My people to be led back to the center, which is Jesus. Pray for your priests. They are under attack. If Satan can wreck the family, the priests, the children, he has it made.
You are under attack, My beloved priests, and you, in your busyness, are being led away from your union with Jesus. Bring yourselves back to Me and let Me give you My love. I am indeed the bridegroom of your souls. I wait for My beloved ones at the altar. I long for private union with all My beloved ones.
Come to Me, all who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest. Come and be lifted up to heights you never dreamed possible. I am God. Put your lives in My hands. Let Me run your life. Quit running amok. You have lost your way and are running down the wrong road. Bring your lives back to Jesus in the tabernacle.
The world is getting farther from God every minute. Read the messages at prayer meetings. Spread them by word of mouth. The time you waste is valuable. These words are not meant to be saved. Spread them here by any means possible. I want them out, I tell you! If someone wants to read some messages, give them to them and let them read them at prayer meetings. There is no secret here. They are from Me and I want them out. I want you to speak. A lot of your discontent is in sitting around with all these messages and not spreading them. Tell your friends to speak. Speak My words here. You don't have to mention the source. Spread the messages. You are not what is important. The messages are. You will be exposed. Don't worry who knows, but don't spread your own story. Spread the messages. Like ripples on a pond, the love of God will be spread throughout the land. I have so much to give to My hurting ones. I am your God. I died for you out of deepest love. I have come in these messages to lead you back home.
Quit worrying of details. I am He Who runs the show. Pray for guidance every day. Spend one hour in front of the tabernacle. You cannot do in a million years what I can do in one moment. Quit relying on yourselves. You are only pushing buttons. When you are fixed in Me, the right door opens. When you go it alone, you have a hard road to walk. One hour in private adoration. Be silent or read the Blue Book. Your life will become uplifted by My teaching and you will sail a blue sky.
Spend time in silence and some in reading My words in front of Me. I am talking to you in these letters. What power, to read them in front of the tabernacle! You can't go it alone. You need My help. You need your supplies. But you must come and get them! You are following your tail around if you do it alone. I am He Who can do all this. When you realize My power in adoration, your lives will change. As long as you are too busy you will have a hard time. The soul craves this union with Me.
Lead the priests back to adoration and the people will follow. Our leaders have become too busy for adoration. This is the key, the key to unlock the doors to the world's problems. It is found in front of the tabernacle, at daily Mass and Communion. Do the priests ever preach any of this? You have forgotten your center, Jesus, in the Eucharist! All the power is found in Jesus. You have all that you need and you walk about and decorate My churches and clean every speck of dust and repair My pews and carpet My house and fix My organs but you walk about and miss the King of Glory who sits there all alone! Spread the messages on the tabernacle. I want them out!

Jesus speaks: I call you to love —
Some people never share themselves with Me or
others intimately — then they cry because they
long for intimacy —
Some people keep all relationships business-like and
when they want closeness they cannot understand
why they do not have it —
Some married people spend little time
together and then expect the other to
"miraculously" make them happy, but
they have held themselves in a locked box
and only they have the key
Some people are in the habit of blaming
someone else when they don't feel good
A person was angry inside and bitter
they got up every day of their life and
tried to blame somebody else for how
they felt inside.
They never truthfully told themselves how
every waking minute they allowed
themselves to have negative, angry,
bitter thoughts and that was why they were
angry.
What you think — so shall you be —
If you engage in angry self defeating
talk all day (in your head) — your actions will
be like this —
You cannot blame someone else for
your angry heart —
When you come to Me — you will be judged on
how you loved God and others
A person thought they would take the safe
road — they locked themselves in their
house - had little conversation with
others and then they didn't have to worry
about getting along with ANYBODY
What a lonely life —
This life may not be the will of God for them —
They may just not want to struggle getting
along with others.
When you try to get along with others
you may be disappointed and hurt, but
isn't that worth some of that to work
out differences.
You see yourselves in the face of others many
times.
A person thinking they are perfect, will blame
others, many times, for their imperfections and
miss the opportunity to see their imperfections.
Living in community that is a healthy community
can help others to live more perfected
lives.
Living in great dysfunction can hurt others,
if one running a community keeps the
community dysfunctional and does not allow
it to grow.
A man grew up in an alcoholic home — he was
the boss at work, he criticized others and
some had to leave because they couldn't stay.
A good community lives in peace and harmony
and love.
Churches should be places of peace and
harmony and love.
When you enter a place you can feel the
harmony and peace,
you can feel disharmony, lack of
peace and lack of love.
When with a certain group of people there
was warmth and love
when with a different group of people
it was sterile, like a business,
no one let themselves out — they talked
of sports and stiff things — little personal
conversation ever took place —
love — happiness of the heart

When Sarah went into the oral
surgeon to get her wisdom teeth
removed, she could tell all were
united and happy — there were books
of witness letters speaking of such
good experiences patients had there —
Bob went into an oral surgeons office with
his son — little conversation took place,
people were stiff — the receptionist had a
problem with somebody on the phone — she
did her nails, then fought with another
patient trying to make an appointment
after she made them wait 20 minutes
to do so.
Bob's son was escorted back like a sheep led
to the slaughter and he was put out —
the doctor came out and told him all the
side effects and was really cold
Bob felt fear gripping him and when his
son came out — helpless after the
anesthetic, Bob was really afraid —
It worked out okay, but it was so hard
for Bob, he felt so upset and filled with
fear.

People can be so different.
People can make such an impression you
may never forget how loving they
were.
People can make such an impression you
may never forget how mean and
obstinate they were.
People can blame everyone else for their
sins.
People can be living lives in truth —
trying to grow in greater perfection —
and advancing in the spiritual life.
You are only here a short while to learn
how to love and get along.
The body soon decays and dies and
All your love and how you are -
everything that is not matter
moves on.
You have the opportunity to live with
Me forever in heaven —
Your body will die!!
All the focus on life of the body and
some never think about their soul.
Ephesians 1: 3-10
Blessed be God
the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
who has blessed us
with all the spiritual blessings of heaven
in Christ.
Thus he chose us in Christ
before the world was made
to be holy and faultless
before him in love,
marking us out for himself beforehand,
to be adopted sons,
through Jesus Christ.
Such was his purpose and good pleasure,
to the praise of the glory of his grace,
his free gift to us in the Beloved,
in whom, through his blood,
we gain our freedom,
the forgiveness of our sins.
Such is the richness of the grace
which he has showered on us
in all wisdom and insight.
He has let us know
the mystery of his purpose,
according to his good pleasure
which he determined beforehand
in Christ,
for him to act upon
when the times had run their course:
that he would bring everything together
under Christ, as head,
everything in the heavens
and everything on earth.
Ephesians 3: 14-19
This, then, is what I pray, kneeling before the Father, from whom every fatherhood, in heaven or on earth, takes its name. In the abundance of his glory may he, through his Spirit, enable you to grow firm in power with regard to your inner self, so that Christ may live in your hearts through faith, and then, planted in love and built on love, with all God’s holy people you will have the strength to grasp the breadth and the length, the height and the depth; so that, knowing the love of Christ, which is beyond knowledge, you may be filled with the utter fullness of God.
Philippians 1: 8-11
For God will testify for me how much I long for you all with the warm longing of Christ Jesus; it is my prayer that your love for one another may grow more and more with the knowledge and complete understanding that will help you to come to true discernment, so that you will be innocent and free of any trace of guilt when the Day of Christ comes, entirely filled with the fruits of uprightness through Jesus Christ, for the glory and praise of God.
1 John 4: 7-16
My dear friends,
let us love one another,
since love is from God
and everyone who loves
is a child of God and knows God.
Whoever fails to love does not know God,
because God is love.
This is the revelation
of God’s love for us,
that God sent his only Son into the world
that we might have life through him.
Love consists in this:
it is not we who loved God,
but God loved us and sent his Son
to expiate our sins.
My dear friends,
if God loved us so much,
we too should love one another.
No one has ever seen God,
but as long as we love one another
God remains in us
and his love comes to its perfection in us.
This is the proof that we remain in him
and he in us,
that he has given us a share in his Spirit.
We ourselves have seen and testify
that the Father sent his Son
as Saviour of the world.
Anyone who acknowledges
that Jesus is the Son of God,
God remains in him and he in God.
We have recognised for ourselves,
and put our faith in,
the love God has for us.
God is love,
and whoever remains in love
remains in God
and God in him.
Matthew 11: 25-30
At that time Jesus exclaimed, ‘I bless you, Father, Lord of heaven and of earth, for hiding these things from the learned and the clever and revealing them to little children. Yes, Father, for that is what it pleased you to do. Everything has been entrusted to me by my Father; and no one knows the Son except the Father, just as no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.
‘Come to me, all you who labour and are overburdened, and I will give you rest. Shoulder my yoke and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. Yes, my yoke is easy and my burden light.’

Jesus speaks:
What are you doing in your relationships
with others that is blocking
your relationship with Me?
Are you prideful?
Do you lie about your patterned behavior?
Do you pray to the Holy Spirit for
light to see and for guidance?
Are you afraid most of the time?
Why are you afraid?
Are you praying for grace to be holy?
Are you blaming others for your imperfections?
In the water — a ball with air in it
keeps popping up.
Are your imperfections like this —
In a relationship your imperfections
(desire to get ahead, competitiveness,
disharmony, greed, selfishness,
anger, pride, envy, jealousy etc.)
keep popping up and then you
blame someone else when they do.
A crystal stemmed glass is so beautiful.
It can be filled with a refreshing drink,
good for the body, good for the spirit.
If a man fills the glass with poison
it can be deadly to drink —
even though the glass is beautiful.
Do you work on your bodies —
shining them up and filling your
heart with good things or
filling your heart with poison —
A lake was crystal clear and beautiful,
but a little child should not
drink from the lake until they
know the water is okay.
How have your imperfections rotted
your heart —
how have you given into them
and blamed others?
how about habits that hurt others
and you do not even see
that you have them —
You must pray to be holy —
Relationships take time —
give and take — you cannot
be so convinced you are perfect
you quit working on yourselves —
A young man came from a very
dysfunctional home — without
any awareness he chose a girl
friend that would fit into his
dysfunctional patterns —
he got married to her and he
had the same awful patterns
repeating themselves in his home —
he blamed everything on her — to
the point she left him —
he then said —
"I will never live with another
person like that — why didn't
I see her weaknesses"
He married another and the same
thing happened and once again
he said "he would not live with her
weaknesses"
Listen to this reading
John 9: 1-40
As he went along, he saw a man who had been blind from birth. His disciples asked him, ‘Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he should have been born blind?’ ‘Neither he nor his parents sinned,’ Jesus answered, ‘he was born blind so that the works of God might be revealed in him.
'As long as day lasts
we must carry out the work of the one
who sent me;
the night will soon be here
when no one can work.
As long as I am in the world
I am the light of the world.’
Having said this, he spat on the ground, made a paste with the spittle, put this over the eyes of the blind man, and said to him, ‘Go and wash in the Pool of Siloam’ (the name means ‘one who has been sent’). So he went off and washed and came back able to see.
His neighbours and the people who used to see him before (for he was a beggar) said, ‘Isn’t this the man who used to sit and beg?’ Some said, ‘Yes, it is the same one.' Others said, 'No, but he looks just like him.’ The man himself said, ‘Yes, I am the one.’ So they said to him, ‘Then how is it that your eyes were opened?' He answered, ‘The man called Jesus made a paste, daubed my eyes with it and said to me, "Go off and wash at Siloam"; so I went, and when I washed I gained my sight.’ They asked, ‘Where is he?’ He answered, ‘I don’t know.’
They brought to the Pharisees the man who had been blind. It had been a Sabbath day when Jesus made the paste and opened the man’s eyes, so when the Pharisees asked him how he had gained his sight, he said, ‘He put a paste on my eyes, and I washed, and I can see. Then some of the Pharisees said, ‘That man cannot be from God: he does not keep the Sabbath.’ Others said, ‘How can a sinner produce signs like this? And there was division among them. So they spoke to the blind man again, 'What have you to say about him yourself, now that he has opened your eyes?’ The man answered, ‘He is a prophet.’
However, the Jews would not believe that the man had been blind without first sending for the parents of the man who had gained his sight and asking them, ‘Is this man really the son of yours who you say was born blind? If so, how is it that he is now able to see?’ His parents answered, ‘We know he is our son and we know he was born blind, but how he can see, we don’t know, nor who opened his eyes.
Ask him. He is old enough: let him speak for himself.’ His parents spoke like this out of fear of the Jews, who had already agreed to ban from the synagogue anyone who should acknowledge Jesus as the Christ. This was why his parents said, ‘He is old enough; ask him.'
So the Jews sent for the man again and said to him, ‘Give glory to God! We are satisfied that this man is a sinner.’ The man answered, ‘Whether he is a sinner I don’t know; all I know is that I was blind and now I can see.’ They said to him, ‘What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?’ He replied, ‘I have told you once and you wouldn’t listen. Why do you want to hear it all again? Do you want to become his disciples yourselves?’ At this they hurled abuse at him, ‘It is you who are his disciple, we are disciples of Moses; we know that God spoke to Moses, but as for this man, we don’t know where he comes from.’ The man replied, ‘That is just what is so amazing! You don’t know where he comes from and he has opened my eyes! We know that God doesn’t listen to sinners, but God does listen to people who are devout and do his will. Ever since the world began it is unheard of for anyone to open the eyes of someone born blind; if this man were not from God, he wouldn’t have been able to do anything.’ They retorted, ‘Are you trying to teach us, and you a sinner through and through ever since you were born!' And they ejected him.
Jesus heard they had ejected him, and when
he found him he said to him, ‘Do you believe in the Son of man?’ ‘Sir,’
the man replied, ‘tell me who he is so that I may believe in him.’ Jesus
said, ‘You have seen him; he is speaking to you.’ The man said, ‘Lord, I
believe,’ and worshipped him.
Jesus said:
It is for judgement
that I have come into this world,
so that those without sight may see
and those with sight may become blind.
Hearing this, some Pharisees who were present said to him, ‘So we are blind, are we?’ Jesus replied:
If you were blind,
you would not be guilty,
but since you say, ‘We can see,’
your guilt remains.

Jesus speaks: Come out of your tombs —
Put aside your prideful ways —
You act imperfectly —
I give you each other to love —
Romans 7: 20-25
But every time I do what I do not want to, then it is not myself acting, but the sin that lives in me.
So I find this rule: that for me, where I want to do nothing but good, evil is close at my side. In my inmost self I dearly love God’s law, but I see that acting on my body there is a different law which battles against the law in my mind. So I am brought to be a prisoner of that law of sin which lives inside my body.
What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body doomed to death? God—thanks be to him—through Jesus Christ our Lord.
So it is that I myself with my mind obey the law of God, but in my disordered nature I obey the law of sin.

Prayer for these 17 days —
Dear God help me to be other focused —
Help me to be a source of joy.
Help me to thank You for the gifts
You have given me.
Help me not to block the work
you have called us to do by
focusing on myself —
When pilgrims come, help me
to have grace to spread
the message You have
called me to spread.
Dear God help me to be holy — to see
I am a little link in the big
chain, a single link to help
lead the world into oneness
and love. When I focus on
myself and do not do the work
of being a light and I am
to talk to pilgrims I can
miss an opportunity to spread
your love, through the materials,
prayers, letters of love, consecration,
morning offering You have asked
me to spread.
Dear God thank You for calling me to
be an apostle, (handmaid, servant
etc.) help me to do Your will.
