The Wisdom of Suffering

#43     Oct. 18, 2012  Thursday 9:53am.  St. Theresa’s chapel

“Come sit with Me today.  Listen for My voice. Hear the words I speak to you , to all.  Hasten, not to write about anything, but rather to write about My thoughts for mankind. 

Stop wondering.  Just be still with Me.  Keep watch with Me.  Be patient with Me.  Don’t try to guess My message.  It is always from Me and not of your choosing. Be still, be quiet, calm your thoughts.  Listen for My words.

Tell all how much I love them.  Tell them that they can’t stop this abundant love from flowing over them.  They can stop it from entering their hearts because of their free will, but they can’t stop Me from outpouring in abundance over them, over all.

Patiently wait for further instructions.  Don’t jump to do something just because you think it needs doing.  Check with Me first.  I will tell you to go ahead or to wait.  Will you not heed the power and grace I want to cover you and your work with?

Patiently wait.  Though a storm may be brewing in your heart, that is due to no action of Mine.  It brews because you are wanting to rely on you.  Are not My plans for you far better for you and for all the world?  Do I not set things in order out of disorder?

Wait patiently.  What is the rush – usually it is only to satisfy a need or a pride of yours.

Do all to satisfy Me. If you are obedient to My will then I am satisfied.  That sounds like I need to be satisfied.  I am complete.  Your will in union with My will continues to make complete My on-going creation.   I desire you to be more complete in Me.

It is sometimes hard to recognize but I call you to be in accord with My will not for My benefit but for yours.  Your will left un-nurtured does not survive well.  Sure it survives but not as well as when it is supported, fed, nurtured, nourished by My will.

Don’t you want things to go smoothly for your soul?  Now this does not mean lack of suffering, what it means is a better, humbler understanding of what suffering is all about.

It is the wisdom of suffering.  It transcends our questioning and leaves us not asking why but rather asking how we can join suffering to Mine.

It frees us to suffer for the good of all.  It frees us to suffer with purpose, giving all that we suffer into the hands of God.

So often we say “I will offer my suffering for such and such”.  I thank you for this gift.

However may I now ask you to say “I offer my sufferings to You O Lord to use as you see fit.”

Again it changes who is in charge.  In the first instance, you are directing your suffering and that is not to be admonished.  However, when you place your sufferings into My hands, then I take charge and direct them and they serve a greater purpose, goal.

The first is never wasted but the second is elevated.  It again shows your willingness to be humble enough to hand over your sufferings to Me to manage. 

Do you see the difference?  I want you to see the difference.  Because if you say you want to be closer to Me then you must be willing to put Me in charge of ALL.  Understand? 

How else do I need to explain this?  I see you get it, but will others?  And really that depends on how much of ‘them’ they are willing to give to Me.

I will direct and grace your sufferings far beyond anything you can imagine.  Let Me be a willing partner in your sufferings.  I delight to serve you in your sufferings.  That sounds like I take delight in your sufferings.  No I take delight in you, in all parts of you and your life – nothing about you goes unnoticed and unloved by Me.  Let Me love you in all and through all.

Now rest, be still, sit and contemplate Me.

Ask to love with a Divine Heart

#42     Oct.  11, 2012  11:05pm – at home

“Thank you for hearing My call to come aside and write.

Do not be concerned as to the topic just rejoice that My words will touch souls.

Listen to My words and do not hesitate to write what I say.  It all needs to be said over and over so that it slowly digs itself into each person’s soul.

I need you to go to a quiet place to write.  So leave here and go silently elsewhere so as not to disturb anyone.

My words are spilling over in what I want you to hear.

Harden not your hearts. Keep them open and receptive to My words.  These words of Mine bear Life and Love.  They are never destructive, but only healing and calling to forgiveness and healing.

Don’t hesitate to talk about My love and mercy.  Others need to hear these consoling words otherwise they feel hopeless. 

Cry for the hopeless.  Theirs is such a raw pain.  Yet sometimes they do not realize what makes them feel hopeless.  They have put all their trust in material things not realizing that ALL fades away,  All is limited in its created life span.  I only endure, My love only endures.

Their grasp of Me seems so tenuous.  They fear letting go of the finite things. Yet each of us on dying has to let go of ALL the finite things that we thought added to, enhanced our lives.

We are weakened by our human nature and sometimes not able to look beyond the limited life to the fullness of life both here and even fuller in heaven.

Do not trouble yourself to try to figure out what to let go of.  It is what you need to hold onto and that alone is Me.

All else is for naught.  Do not endeavor to grasp for Me, just ask Me to be All for you.  It is a simple request, yet it divests us of all we own and think we hold too dear to let go of.

Be still and know that I am all you will ever need.

Let your heart rest assured in this revelation.  All else can fall away but My love for you never will.  Cling to this, rejoice in this, celebrate this, catch it and make it your mantra. 

Imagine having nothing, nothing, yet knowing My love – are you willing to step into that future – one full of nothing and rely totally on Me?  So where can you start to have  nothing?  I told you not to worry about what you should give up, give away, get rid of, don’t buy.

Form your mind and heart on one purpose – to let Me rule in your life, not as a master, but as a teacher of divine love, bringing divine love to you and showing you how to give divine love.  But you think you can’t give divine love.  If you are making every effort to love as unconditionally as I do, then that is divine love.  It is love that knows no bounds, does not bind, sets free, loves and loves some more.

So ask Me to help you love with a divine heart.  If you welcome Me into your heart streams of divine love can’t help but flow forth from your heart to others.

Ask Me to help you love with a divine heart.  I want so much to share My love with you and for you to share My love with others. Had you ever thought you could love with divine love?  Just ask Me.

It is all about you being open to hearing My call to love unconditionally.  That is sometimes the only barrier to loving with divine love.  I can’t share with you or show you how to love like this unless you invite Me first to profuse your heart with divine love and I can only do that when you move out of your heart and invite Me to move in. 

Just ask, Just ask, Just ask.

We always try to figure out for ourselves instead of asking Me first.  I have all your answers.

Wouldn’t you seek a knowledgeable book if you were looking for answers?  Then why do you not seek Me the Book of Life for all your answers?

I love when you ask because then it shows that you honor and praise the Knowledge and Wisdom I want to share with you.

Now be still, read Mark 1: 21.  Sleep well and don’t ask if I love you, ask Me to show you how much I love you and then be open to see My love in every moment of your life.  God Bless with love.

Let My Words seep into your heart

#41     Oct. 10, 2012, 10:30 pm, at home

“Please listen to My words.  Do not hesitate to listen and learn from them.  There is always something new to learn every time you read My word.  And you can read the same passage many times and each time My word will speak differently to you.

I don’t look to hear your interpretation of what I have written, but what My words are saying to your heart.

I only speak to the heart.  If you try to figure My words with your head you will not succeed.  You must let My words touch your heart, seep into your heart, speak to your heart.  Thus what you will realize is that it is not your thoughts on My words but My thoughts to you on My words.

Sit quietly and read and look for NO MEANING.  Just let them seep into your heart.  Do not read with your head, but read with your heart which will develop a better understanding of My words and act on them accordingly.

Gently read, quietly read. Do not read quickly.  Read with the purpose of hearing Me speak to your heart. 

When My words get into your head, they get analyzed, but when they get into your heart they are from love, for love and received by love.

Do not hesitate to read the bible at any point in the bible, just read knowing that each word of Mine has an eternal purpose, an eternal message that does not exist only for this time but for all eternity.

Hasten to read Me more.  Not in a marathon to see how many pages you can read each day.  But read Me more knowing that ALL is contained in My words.  There is no falseness or evasion.  What is said is True.

Now get your bible and read Matthew 17: 1 – read it several times and welcome the words into your heart.  Don’t memorize them because only the head is at work.  Allow your heart to treasure the words as gold, as a precious pearl.

Hasten, sit quietly and read.  Enjoy this gift I give you this evening with love. 

Ponder My Love

#40     Oct. 10, 2012   1:15PM, at home

“You may ponder many things but the only thing you should be pondering is My love for you and for every human being.

There is so much depth to My love that you will never reach the height or breadth of it.  But it is so worth your time and energy to ponder it.

Don’t think of other things which ultimately do not matter in the scheme of things.  Start with pondering My love.

How do you think I know you will be a better person by pondering My love?  Because lack of love and loving makes us sick.

I am not saying that the body will never fall sick, but knowing My love and pondering on it will make all sense of My suffering. 

Do not hesitate to seek My love its depth and breadth even in suffering.  So often you say I am so sick I can’t pray.  Well don’t try to pray just ask Me for the strength to ponder My love.  I will give you the strength – just ask, just ask.

Don not trouble yourself with trying to figure other things out.  Not that you will ever figure out the enormity of My love but it is the only thing worthy of endeavoring to do. All else is futile and limited to time and space. 

My love  is timeless, encompasses all space, never dies, can’t be destroyed, can’t be ridiculed, can’t be harmed, can’t suffer because to love is to suffer not in a physical sense but love suffers all things, accepts all things, does not destroy, never eliminates.

People may say that My judgment eliminates people from Heaven.  Do you really believe that I cast people into Hell?

How do I answer this?  My love casts out no one.  My love supports, encourages, reaches out, forgives, forgives, forgives.  But what if the person does not want My love, casts My love aside, does not want to live in the light of love and gracious eternity?  They have cast themselves from My presence.  They have judged Me unworthy to live with in eternity.

I turn no one away.  Think of the hardest criminal and I tell you  when he or she comes before My judgment seat of mercy they are offered My love, My forgiveness.  Perhaps up to this moment they have never heard of Me before, or they did not have the faith of some of the saints, or they chose to ignore Me while on earth.  Well, when they die they will come before the heavenly Vision that will cast out all doubt of who I am and the love I have for them. 

Certainly even then, as Lucifer did, they can choose to live outside My love – their gift of free will still exists and if they so choose, then they choose Hell.

If I thought that if they are not good while on earth, that at death they would go straight to Hell, then I am not an ALL loving, All merciful God.  How many chances have I given you on earth to rethink your relationship with Me?  Do you think that our relationship dies when you die?  That there is no longer any communication?  You either take the road to Heaven or Hell without first coming face to face with your Creator?

My love is not structured on the how and way you love.  Thank God eh?

Because if so, there are some people you would think deserve hell, and would request that they should go there.

So even though you say you love Me, and know I love you, your love of Me is so limited and that is why I encourage you to ponder My love.

Ask Me to help you ponder My love.  I am right here eager to show you more and more of how I love.  Not who I love because I love each and every person, but how I love – without boundaries, without suspicion, without snarky comments, without requiring restitution, without shouting, without waiting, without hesitating, with mercy, with joy, with compassion, with longing, with patience, with arms outstretched,  with silence, with no demands, with clear conscience, with no borders, with love, love, love.

Now sit quietly and ponder My love.  Ask Me to help you ponder My love and I promise I will infuse you with this beautiful knowledge. 

Be still, quiet, ponder.  I love you.   Now come to know how much I love you.

Make No Comment

#39   Oct. 3, 2012,  at J.’s  -- 9:50pm

“Hasten to listen to My words.  Hark, they are important and exclusive.  Do not change a dot of them.  Just write as I dictate.

Heed nothing else.  Do not feel rushed, but relax in My presence – in the presence of My words.

Quiet.  Do you have any questions for Me?  About plenary indulgences?

What do you need to hear?  The reason or the Truth?  I will tell you this.

Be silent on this.  Do not argue.  Do not try to explain.  Trust in Me when I ask you to just listen and make no comment.  How do you want Me to answer?  O  you want  Me to make you sound right!

I tell you make no comment to anyone on this topic.  None of your explanations will suffice.  Sit quietly and listen.  Do not feel you need to have all the answers. 

Pray on this topic.  Offer your concerns to Me on this topic and not to others.  Ask Me for guidance and if I say hush, then you will hush.  Do not try to prove anything.  Just give it to Me.  That is all I ask of you. 

Nothing else matters – you are asked to give all to Me.  That is not always easy but it is the only solution in ALL cases and circumstances.  Never hesitate or wonder what to do, just give it to Me and let Me make it right --  for your good and for My glory.

Now  quietly give this to Me not in resignation but in utter trust that I am the one who takes care of ALL.

Quiet, still, smiling, quiet, gentle, willing, loved.

two short messages

#37     Sept. 24, 2012 Monday, 10am -- driving to summer reunion

Rest in Me.  Do not let anything fluster you.  Make no excuses.  

#38     Sept. 28, 2012  Friday, 2:15 – in Kitchener

Sit quietly and be taught.  Listen for My words.  Let them rest joyfully in your heart.  Don’t question or interpret – just listen and know it is Me.

Put aside all worries.  Let nothing disturb you. You need nothing.
