  Jesus speaks: I love you so much.

My Heart is on fire for love of you.

August 7, 2003 P.M.

Eve of August 8, 2003

Jesus speaks:        If everybody around you is

                        giving you "trouble" maybe you

                        need to change and be loving.

                        Peace is found in the heart.

                        Be loving to one another.

                        Some people live a life trapped

                        in their own negative tapes,

                         they think people are thinking

                         things about them that may

                         not be true.

                         You can determine your peace inside.

                            The devil can distract you by other's

                            actions. You can control how you 

                            respond. DO MY WILL.

                        DON'T LET THE DEVIL TRY TO

                            CONTROL YOU.

                        Write to God the Father everyday,

                            thank Him, look at all

                            the gifts -- you have been 

                            given.

                        Focus on being positive,

                            loving and obeying God's 

                            will.

                        Some act like sitting ducks

                            waiting to sound off because

                            things went wrong. The devil

                            can help to manipulate events

                            around you and you can give in.

                        Pray to be loving.

                        Pray to do God's will.

                        Accept the crosses that you

                            must endure and offer

                            them up.

Take Up Your Cross

December 18, 1993

Jesus speaks: Pain? Oh, how I suffered! The pain was so intense, I could hardly bear it. I was so wounded and so covered with blood. Think of a little gash and how it hurts when it begins to bleed. I bled and I bled all over. Such intense pain. Every time you experience pain, think of Me and how minute your little pain is. There was not a place on My body that was not covered with blood. There were deep wounds all over Me. My head throbbed from the crown they had placed on Me and I was forced to carry a big cross so heavy, I scarce could move it on My shoulder. My shoulder ached so badly I felt as if it was constantly breaking by the weight of the cross. But I carried it and pushed on My way. If I stopped, I was poked and pushed and hit. The crowd jeered and they forced Me on My way. What crime had I committed? Why was I forced to endure such torture? It was out of love of you that I continued that journey. I was God. I could have stopped at any moment. I was obedient to death to the demands of My Father.

Pain, child? I suffered so much for love of you! This is how I love you at this moment. In all that befalls you you must know at every moment that I know exactly what you are suffering. There is nothing that happens in your life without My consent and it comes from Him Who loves you.

Take your crosses and truly endure them. Accept them. Know that everything that happens in your life I have allowed. Accept it with the love with which I give it. You are being taught in that pain. You are suffering for yourselves and others. I endured all that pain. Did I once say, "Father, take it away?" I am your model. I showed you the way. I took it all, every last wound, every kick and smack and vileness. I took My cross and I carried it without a word. This is what I ask of you. Know that when you are experiencing pain or suffering, or being taunted by those around you, look to the Master for your course of action. I took it all, every last wound, and accepted it to My death. I did not say, "Oh, how awful." I did not complain. I walked in silence that bumpy road with a heavy cross, with My mother suffering by My side and I never complained. I accepted it all for love of you.

Carry your crosses, little ones. They are gifts from Me. Do not look for an explanation or a way to get rid of them. I will take them when I think you have had enough. It is in suffering that you experience My life more fully. It is in suffering that I speak to you in a special way. Endure it. I know every ache and pain you are experiencing. I am this close to you! Your pain may save a soul dead in sin or get a soul from purgatory. Accept all I send you and don't complain. A lot of the pain is enhanced by your rejection. A lot of your lessons are lost by your refusal to see that crosses come from Me. I give you crosses to share in My suffering. I love you so much, little ones. Know how personal I am with you: the very hairs of your head are numbered. Come close to Me and look into My eyes. I am truly here with you at every single moment. Think of Me as a person, but I am closer than any person could ever be! I am there and I know your every breath and I care about your every breath. Who could even do this for another? Others would have to sometimes think of themselves.

I am God and I can think of you at every instant. I am so close to you you do not have any comprehension. It is not a myth. I am truly present to you at every instant. Feel My presence. Make Me alive to you. Experience all I have to give you. You will know Me as your personal Jesus the more you read and re-read these letters. I write them to each of you. Only God could love you each this way. Focus on Me and you and how close I am to you. I love you so, little one. Whence you go you never walk alone. I walked a road of torture that led to My death for love of you! When will you realize what I say is true? When will you know how close I am to you and embrace Me as I so desire? You hold yourself back because you do not focus on My love for you. I would walk that path this day for you. I love you the same this moment as I did then. Oh, little one, you want to put your little crosses down so fast. Hold them and walk awhile with Me down the road to Calvary. Be by My side and share a little in how intently I trod out of love of you.

I am Jesus, Son of the Living God. I am alive in this room with you. I am by your side. A toothache, you say-what pain! Accept your pain. I want you to feel that pain now. It will go away.* It is so little. Heartache I know, heartache to love each of My children so much and be ignored or put at arm's length! Do you know how it is to love another and not have their love? I long for your love with Me, but you are busy. You do not have the time to be with Me while I await thee. I am an ardent lover Who waits for each of My children to come and experience this great love. You stay away from Me Who is always waiting and you search this barren desert for that which I have to give you. I watch you in this search and want you to come home to My heart. I am waiting for you, little one. Don't keep yourself from Me. Remember how I suffered for love of you. When you feel a pain, remember the pain I suffered for love of you. That is how I love you this very day. Take your cross and walk with Me. Come and be with Me. I have that which your hungry soul craves.

I am your loving Jesus. I love you, child. You do not know. I wait to be closer to you. You must see Me as this personal and this alive in your life! Oh, sweet one, I love you to My death and I love you this way today. I lament My children lost in darkness. I want to be united to you. Come and make Me the center of your life. I wait for you!

R. *My toothache is gone!

You Know Not the Day or the Hour (Excerpt)

June 1, 1994

Jesus speaks: ...Be clean in your heart. Love God, love one another. The time is near, the place is set. You will be caught unawares. All that will sustain you is your relationship with God. Be ready, be watchful. You know not the day or the hour. By your love you will inherit My kingdom. Love all, old and young, black and white, burdened and happy. Your job is to spread the Good News. No earthly treasures will sustain you. You must stay close to God and follow His commandments. For I cried out to you and you were deaf. I sent My Spirit into your midst to give you vision and hearing. He filled you with such gifts you could scarcely speak and, where you were deaf and blind, you could see and hear. The Spirit imparts to you My vision. Pray with your hearts open. Beg for His gifts. Where you were blind, you now see. Alleluia. Alleluia.

Messenger:        We thank You Father for the gifts given to us.

                                We thank You for the people that serve Your

                                movement and make it is what it is today.

                            Help us Father to be holy, loving, selfless,

                                to give and not count the costs, but

                                to offer up our sacrifices to you for

                                the sake of souls.

Jesus speaks:     The ordinary hardships of the day when

                                handled in love according to God's

                                will can help to bring down so many

                                graces for the mission.

                            Rely on My Might. So many try to go it alone

                                and are frustrated when things don't work

                                out.

                                Look over the day, say thanks to the

                            Father for His love and gifts given to you.

                                Work to help spread the Kingdom, be

                            a peace maker, operate in love, tell

                            the people you greet "Good Morning",

                            "Hello" with a smile.

                                Today is the day I give you. Your

                            cross you have to bear can be offered

                            up as a prayer. Live in love. I am love.

                                Pray for one another.  

Messenger:        August 8 is the Feast of St. Dominic.

                            I want to thank God for the gifts given.

                            I thank God for Mary, Immaculate,

                                our Mother.

                            I thank God for the rosary.

Messenger:        These rosary videos and DVD's are awesome

I Died In Peace

August 31, 1993

Jesus speaks: You are hurried. Relax and soak in My peace. Only My peace will quiet you. Your days are full of changes. You are adapting well, but always come back to My peace. Breathe in Jesus, out anxiety and fear. In Jesus, out anxiety. Quiet your mind and focus just on My face. See My sorrowful face, see Me with thorns. Bring yourself back to the Passion. It is because of you and your sins I suffered and died for all My children. How great is My love for you that I would die for love of you. Think of this-that you have a friend Who died for you. Oh, how I love, how I long to be with you to tell you of My infinite love for you. Your human minds cannot even comprehend My Divine love! In your deepest meditation you couldn't come close to all the love I have for you. But you must keep trying to know and feel this love. This is your salvation. This is what sets you free in a world of hate. You can always be drawn back to My love and know it is waiting for you always. It never stops. It is infinite. This is what comforts your troubled soul. When they scorn you and mock you, think of Me loving you. I am the all-perfect love. Always come back to Me. Don't let the world get to you. I am here, with peace, love, joy, rapture, being connected to your heart so divinely. I love you so much! I wish you would totally feel this love the way I want you to.

The only way you can experience Me more is to let go of the world more. In this bustling world, My peace reigns. It is in the quiet of your heart. It is within you and you can stay connected at every moment. You never have to lose this peace no matter what goes on around you. You can be a pillar of peace because I am peace. I am joy. I died in peace and dignity. My peace was not shattered even to death. You can experience this peace if you stay in Me. It is My gift I give you. Remember I was at peace at My death. You are being strengthened in your trials. You are growing in My peace. You are learning not to shatter to anything, that if you stay rooted in Me I never leave you and you remain at peace though the earth be shaking. For I am He Who lives in you. You can have this same consistency, but you must stay so connected to Me every minute, every second. Breathe in Jesus, out fear. Look at My face. It is there for you. Look and see Me, I am your rock. You will not falter or fall on your face. Your heart is rooted in My peace and My love. It is consistent, it is everlasting, it is intense and it is My gift to My children who remain fixed in Me. I love you.
