                Today's Readings

                R. Jesus said He came to set a
                fire on the earth – The fire of
                His love –

From God's Pre-Blue Book

December 17, 1991

R. On December 17, 1991, I saw a vision of  Jesus’ Heart on fire after communion. He said – I didn’t know how this Heart would lead people to His Sacred Heart.

 

December 17, 1991

Jesus: I am Jesus. I have spoken as never before, you will spread My love to all souls on this earth.

R. The vision of Jesus’ Heart on fire I had in the same pew at All Saints Church, December 17, 1991. The heart that is on the Second Blue Book. March 26, 1996, I had in the same pew on the other end of the pew toward the center aisle, the first pew on the right side of the church as I faced the altar.

His Burning Heart

R. I was alone in All Saints Church after Mass and Communion, in front of the tabernacle, when I saw the Sacred Heart. It was red around the outside, then a layer of yellow and then the brightest light in the center. I felt heat and it looked like an open furnace.

I thought about it all day and it instantly gave me peace and warmth in my heart. This is the purpose of these letters – to draw hearts to the ardent on-fire love of Jesus. I received the following message that day:

“Open your heart to the fire of God’s love. He is ablaze in your heart. He wants to dwell in you and love you and others through you. Love God, yourself and one another and experience the fire set aglow in your heart and experience the warmth of His love.”

                R. God has given us so many beautiful
                witnesses who give their lives
                for the Catholic Church.
                Fr. Joe is such a witness –
                Fr. Mike is a witness.
                Our other priests that give
                Their lives for us.

                    Dear God thank You for
                our leaders that endure
                persecution to help us to live
                by Your precepts.

                    God put Adam and Eve into
                an orderly world. Adam
                and Eve sinned and disorder
                entered the world.      

                God said by the sweat of your
                brow you should earn your bread.

                    God gives us the commandments
                and His Word to live by –
                God gives us His law –

                    I see the babies being killed
                in abortion – the little hands
                and feet jerked from their mother's
                womb and I think of Christ
                and His hands nailed to the
                cross.

                    Oh God we are sorry
                for our sins. Please give
                us Your Holy Spirit deep in our hearts
                so we know Your truths
                and live by Your laws.

                    God gives us the greatest
                commandment –

Matthew 22: 34-40 

‘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.’
 

                R. How can a person give
                love if they never learned
                to love and if we get our
                importance by going back and
                back to a person that doesn't
                love – they can keep doing
                the same thing –

                    God loves us – we go to
                God and ask Him to dwell
                in us. We know ourselves
                God loves us. When we go
                to God we receive love –
                affirmation of His love for
                us –

                    Then we can be instruments
                of His love to others. God is
                the source of love. We need
                to go to God and then know
                He loves us.

                R. Knowing you are loved comes
                    from a deep relationship
                    with Christ in your
                    heart –

                Other people that don't know
                    they are loved are not
                    going to give love to
                    another.

                We go to God to know this
                    love. His love is
                    eternal.

                God sends people in our
                    lives that love us
                    as His instruments –

                People who keep waiting on
                    an empty well with
                    no chance of water –
                    Thirst –

                Christ said –
                    I thirst on the cross
                    He died for love of us –

The Oneness Between Mary and Jesus

R. I see her hold His lifeless body under the cross. I see her tenderness, holding Him as a Baby. I see their oneness in the peering eyes. I see her with the sword in her heart, pierced because of the sufferings of her Son. I see her giving birth to her beautiful Baby.

I see her sorrowful face, her beautiful face, her old face, her young face; all reflections of her life and His life, joined in joy, joined in suffering, joined - Mother and Son - all through Their lives, during the Passion, now joined in heaven. They want to draw us to eternal salvation.

A loving Mother, truly by our sides, waiting to listen to our problems, and Jesus forever with her.

She stands under the cross and places our burdens there with us as we, hand-in-hand with our loving Mother, give up our frustrations, our crosses to Him, our loving Savior.

This is life, to be fixed so closely united with the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, all day surrendering ourselves to Their loving Hearts.

This is warmth and security to me. I realize so very much Their presence. This is the reality of this world. It is God’s world. We dwell here in the hope of achieving everlasting life. Jesus Christ is truly present this day in the Eucharist, no less than the day He walked this earth.

Mary is so closely united to her Son. To love Jesus is to love Mary, to love Mary is to love Jesus.

Mary, help me to love your beloved Son.

Jesus, help me to love Your beloved Mother.

Mary is always leading me to the love of her precious Son. All the meditations on the rosary about Mary lead me to Him. She is our spiritual Mother. To think of His being formed in her womb is so beautiful. I ask Mary to form me in her womb so I can be more closely united to her Son. For nine months He was formed in the womb of His loving Mother. For my lifetime, I am forever formed in her womb to deepen my union with Jesus, the Holy Spirit and the Father.

The protection and security, to be surrounded by Mary’s womb, is so beautiful. She delivers us up to union with her precious Son.

The more I meditate on Their lives in the rosary (I really meditate on each bead), these beautiful mysteries of Their lives, the more I am so closely joined to the union of Mary’s heart and Jesus’ Heart. This is my refuge. This is our life, to be joined so intimately to Their Hearts!

She draws me to her and draws me to praying the rosary, like steel to a magnet. I get such comfort sharing Their lives. It is there I realize so much Their reality. They are truly here, this very day -- we are not ever alone!  I am united to Their lives. This comfort exists all through the day, for They are with me.

I pray in front of the big statue of Mary and she is alive to me.
