Know Me

#52     Nov. 8, 2012, Thursday, 9:55am – St Theresa’s chapel   

“I asked you to hasten to write because I want to share so much with My beloved ones.

Do not think I come only to speak to you but to all those whom the Father has created. I want to yell this news from the mountain tops and have it echo around the world.

The Lord is love, bringing love, capturing hearts with love, setting persons free, standing for justice which must be crowned by love, letting all else fall aside until only My love stands and reinforces and strengthens and guards and guides and allows and encourages and frees and forgives and loves some more.

Cast all upon Me.  Let NOTHING in your heart not come under My guidance. Still your thoughts and seek My thoughts for you, your family, the world.

Come aside and sit with Me.  Come into My heart, release all the thoughts and feelings that bind you.  Sit in My strength, sit in My wisdom, sit in My simplicity.

Touch nothing, gather nothing, seek nothing but Me.  Stay still till you can hear creation all around you growing, creating, breathing, dying.

Do not stop to wonder what does this mean. If you are obedient to My request from My heart to yours you will find out what I mean.

I do not ask you to climb to the heights or plumb to the deepest depths.  I simply and plainly ask you to come aside to sit with Me.  Rest in My Sacred Heart from which flows forth all goodness.

Ask to be able to experience this coming aside with simpleness and humility.  Do not seek a reason or explanation or knowledge – but first seek Me through My Sacred heart which contains all you will ever need to know.

Do you realize that it is not necessary to know which is the tallest mountain, deepest lake, widest river, fastest animal.

However, for the benefit of your eternal soul it is so necessary to know Me, not know about Me, but know Me.  Converse with Me, listen and act on My words.  Let all else slip away.  It is of no value if you are looking for something valuable.  Sure knowledge is a good thing but if it takes your focus off of seeking to know Me more, then, it can become a false God.

Ask Me about anything and I will tell it to you.  You see in seeking Me you really are seeking all knowledge, wisdom, understanding. 

I am ALL.  I have ALL and I want to share All with those who seek Me first.  This does not mean that I seek vain glory or praise.  Yet it does mean I am the source of All so why would you not come to Me for everything.

Ask Me to lower your blood pressure.  Now  I know there are meds for this and I respect this, however, ask Me first to lower it and listen to My response.

Do not be frantic wondering what to do – just ask Me first.  And by so doing your bp will go lower, you will not be as frantic or worried or anxious.  I am not dismissing meds that can help.  I am only saying, ask Me first.

Let me be your prime caregiver and follow the prescription I recommend.  And if it is to take meds, then do so.  The point I am trying to make is that I am the Prime Physician.  Let Me lead you to the best solution for your situation. 

How many times have you and others not asked for My advice and counsel in matters of your health.  Many times?

By relying on My advice and guidance you will grow closer and closer to Me and often find yourself in the safe haven of My Sacred Heart.

I know Mine and Mine know Me.  But listen – I know you better than you know Me!  Not a surprise, but just an assurance that I know you better than you know you so thus would I not have all the answers about you, for you?

Do not lock yourself away in your world thinking you can figure out all the answers.  Do not be so proud to think you have control over all your life.  If you did, you would have no ailments, no fights and quarrels, no back pain, no infections.  Please come to realize that you are not in control, then diligently seek the One who is.  Seek Me.  Seek Me while you are still able to do so.  Become My friend, companion, servant way before you have to walk with illness, disease, quandary, etc.

It does not mean that you can’t seek Me in these conditions, but it will make these conditions much easier and more sensible if you already know Me and know you can bring it ALL to Me for healing and peace.

I may not heal you physically, but I will heal all the doubts that surround your illness. 

Come aside and sit in My Sacred Heart.  Feel the warmth.  Feel the unconditional welcome.  No one is first or last.  We all just ARE.  We are in His presence. Let us rejoice.

Sit quietly now and gaze on Me – the One who knows all, loves all and welcomes all.   

your heart in MINE

#51     Nov. 5, 2012,  Monday, 10:20am.   St. Theresa’s chapel  

“Speak only to Me of love.  Do not bring up differences, but thank Me for giving you a heart that is eager to love.

Sit quietly.  Wait for My words.  Time is timeless for Me so I can go fast or slow.  It does not matter.

Why do you want to squeeze My words into a time frame?  They flow, they ebb constantly, continually, not bounded by time or space.

Lift your heart into Mine and you will see how time does not matter.

Sit and just be with Me for a few minutes and if you ask sincerely I will show you what I mean.

But, each time you ask that your heart dwell in Mine is a step closer to this reality of timelessness.

Look at all that has been revealed to you so far.  Things you had never imagined.

Thus, the same with your heart in Mine.  It is an exercise I ask you to practice daily.  Just say “Lord I want my heart to dwell in Your heart”  It is very simple.

Now I do not promise that it will happen in the next instant of time according to your clock.  But it will happen in My good time when I feel you are ready to experience it.

Meanwhile do not trouble yourself about it.  There is nothing that should concern you as long as you sincerely have asked this gift from Me – for your heart to dwell in Mine.

O I hear you say: “Do I have to wait to die for this to happen?”

You are funny.  I told you not to trouble yourself about the how and when.  I just ask you to ask Me and then let Me be in charge of the rest. 

Now sit quietly assured that I love you and want all that it good for you.

Bring before Me some of your family you love and tenderly point out to Me what you love about them.  I love to hear your love stories.

Faith in Action

#50     Nov. 4, 2012, Sunday, 7:14pm – at home   (Faith in Action)

“Sit quietly.  Sit rejoicing to be in My presence.  Do no hesitate to thank Me for ever being present in your life.

My heart delights in our companionship.  There is so much to say, so much I want to share.  Quiet your soul. Make no plans.  Just be totally content to be in My presence.

Don’t try to hide your thoughts from Me.  I know them already and that is why I ask you to be totally satisfied in My presence not in your presence.

Such a battle goes on doesn’t it between wanting to serve Me and wanting to serve you.  I understand.  Remember I  battled with this in the Garden of Gethsemane. I have experienced All before you.  I know all pain, anguish, suffering, grief.  The only thing I do not share is your guilt.  That has come from you, not from Me.  That invades your soul from the evil one.

Guilt is something you feed.  Guilt binds you and keeps you from looking to Me.  You want to add salve to your guilt but you can’t – it is impossible.

Your heart believes that ‘when I live in guilt I will prove sorrow, regret at an action’.  This is FALSE.

When you live in guilt, you do not give any credit to the One who can remove All guilt.  But you do not want to ask me to remove it, because you feel it serves a healthy purpose and makes you contrite.  This is FALSE.

If you are contrite then run hastily to Me and give it all over to Me.  Explain why you feel contrite – lay it out before My eyes.  Let Me look at it.  Let My heart investigate it with love.

If you stay in guilt, you are not contrite.  A contrite heart humbly hands over any misdeeds it has done so they can be consumed in the fire of My love.

My love burns all that needs to be rendered whole.

The fire of My love consumes a contrite heart, not burning it but cleansing it, making it whole and healthy again.

I don’t care how many times you bring Me a contrite heart.  The fire of My love will consume that which needs to be cleansed, setting your heart on the path of health once again.

Do not trouble yourself but walk in the light and promise of the Lord.  If it were not so I would have told you.

So the moment guilt climbs on board and takes you to dark places, bring it hastily to My heart and empty your heart’s guilt into Mine.  I can, I will consume your guilt but I can’t unless you bring it to Me.  I will not interfere with your choice – if you want to let the guilt keep gnawing away at you – do you really like that feeling?  But I will answer when you bring it to Me.

So often we hear people say that we have to come to Me with a humble contrite heart.  Yet I tell you that ‘coming to Me’ is the act of a humble contrite heart. 

Remember, it is said – faith without action…

(here God said ‘wait I have to answer the door and He welcomed in Pat (Lisa’s dad) and asked me to come and see Pat and welcome him.  Then God asked me to tell Him how much Pat was loved – Pat kept his head down and saying he was not worthy.  We can be in God’s presence, welcoming our loved ones into His presence.  O God, O God, O God)

Remember, it is said – faith without action is nothing.  So when you come hastily to Me with your guilt that is faith in action.  You believe in My saving, healing graces and you bring the part of you that needs healing to My heart. 

Do you realize what a huge ‘faith into action’ action this is?

Think about it.  We can have faith and put it into action but have we ever realized that the greatest ‘faith into action’ act is believing that anything you bring to Me is honored by My Sacred Heart, is welcomed, is graced, loved, healed, forgiven, set free.  Alleluia!

Getting back to Me asking you to welcome in Pat – why should this be impossible for Me to do?

My kingdom IS.  It is here among you and yet unseen most of the time.  Why wouldn’t I, as I welcome those who have died, ask their friends and relatives to speak to Me about them.

It is not a wild and crazy notion.  It is a simple request.  Come speak to Me about your loved ones who have died.  Tell Me about them.  Encourage My mercy – I love being asked – again it is your faith in action.

Come sit next to Me and I shall tell you more.  Hush, hush, don’t try to run ahead.  Now still your human imagination and sit still with me.  Stop writing and sit still and see with My eyes, My heart.

(O God what a gift you have just given me.)

I invited you to sit with Me and welcome someone in before us.  You welcomed in your Mother and Dad.

You realized that sitting with Me and seeing through My eyes and heart that all you could offer them was your love and you told them you loved them, then listed off to Me the gifts they brought into your life – decency, honesty, faith, your dad was a gentleman, admired by his students; your mother – when she made soup, macaroni, washed your hair, did homework with you.  You got to see their faith in action.

You noticed I did not ask you to name off any of their faults, because that is not what you sit with Me for.  You are called to sit with Me to look on those you call before us to love them and to love them deeper and deeper.  It has nothing to do with any judgments you may have had through your human nature.  It has all to do with just love.

That is why I have taken judgment out of your hands because it stops the flow of love and all, ALL, ALL I have asked you, and all My beloved to do, is love.

So thank Me that you do not have to judge. Thank Me for setting your heart free just to love, to love deeper and deeper.

Now cast your care aside, cast off judgment and don’t hesitate to come aside and sit with Me and welcome those of your family and friends who have died and show Me their goodness and show Me your love for them.

Be still.  Thank you for your tears.  Your hearts desire has been fulfilled – going knowing I love you and My love has no bounds – no separation of heaven and earth.  I am with you always and everywhere!

Trust in Me

#49     Nov.1, 2012, Thursday, 9:50 a.m. – St Theresa’s chapel  

Gently let all else fall to the side.  Gently come and enter My heart.  Gently and humbly listen to My Words.  Words of freedom, words of love, words of encounter, words of silence, yet words to be shouted to the ends of the earth.  Let your heart cry aloud these words.  Let them be so profound that you can’t keep them within.

Try not to race ahead of Me with your thoughts but be very willing and obedient to wait on each word.  I know sometimes you  don’t know what the next word will be that I am going to give you.  Isn’t this Trust?

Isn’t that profound Trust?  You don’t know but you still are willing to put pen to paper, to step forward not knowing.  That is what Trust is all about.  If you knew what was going to happen in the next moment, there would be no need at all to Trust.

Step aside from your mind and put on My mind.  I know all,  I delegate all, I am in All, I sit, stand, abide in all.

This Trust is such a God-send because then you can slow down.  Slow down your body and mind because you do not have to be concerned about the next instance.  Relax in My Trust.  Free yourself from you by Trusting in Me.

Anchor yourself in My Trust.

Reach out and Trust – not touch, but Trust.

Fall on your sword of self-importance and self-solving.  Fall into My Trust.  It is fathomless. 

Give nothing up, but rather give it ALL over to Me.  Trust that I will make all work for good.  Release yourself from the bonds of distrust which have been nurtured through human experience and put yourself into My trusting arms.

I have never, will never, let you down.  Sure the world around you may be seeming to crumble but My trust is on an awesome foundation – one that will never fade or erode.

My promises are always complete and good.  My faithfulness to My beloved ones is never to be doubted.  It may not seem like the answer that the world would provide, but it is the only answer necessary for your eternal soul.

Take heart.  Take My heart.  Take it into your heart.  Let My heart take in your heart so our hearts become one with no distinguishing.  Melt into Me as I so desire to melt into you. 

Let your trust be a springboard to My heart.  Do not let go of Trust.  Nurture it.  Nourish it.  Start out small if you must but do start. Trust that I open your eyes each day.  Trust that I cause the sun to rise and the rain to fall.

Take things that seem so simple and almost silly and start to express your trust in Me about them.  Say: “I trust Lord that my ears will produce earwax.”  Now this does sound foolish, eh?  Yet we sometimes overlook occasions of expressing our trust to Me in little, little ways.

Why is it silly to trust Me in small things?  I am in charge of ALL things, so don’t hesitate to Trust Me in all things and say out loud, to Me.  Let your heart that yearns to trust express it all to Me.  Don’t wait for major moments to try on trust.  Use it often.  Then the heart and head will be more ready in tough times to place all trust in Me.

It is like saying “I am going to hit a homerun” without going out there every day and hitting a ball.  Your head and heart have to come to the knowledge, thru practice, that since you can hit a ball, it is very likely as you practice more and more that you will hit a homerun.  Of  course if you have never held a bat in your hand and hit a ball, your heart and head will contradict your high faluting plans.

So practice daily trusting in Me in all things.

And remember that Trust and Thanks go hand in hand.  When you have trusted it ALL to Me, give thanks for it all.

Like “Lord I trust that the grass will grow even without me seeing it progress and I thank you for being in charge of Your creation.”

Let yourself Trust Me in all things and Thank Me for the gift of Trust.

And your trust eventually will go much deeper than your immediate human needs and touch the needs of your soul.

You may say: “Lord I trust you will get me there safely.”  Yet something might happen – an accident or whatever.  Do you run back to Me and throw My trust in My face saying that I didn’t come through for you?

Or does your soul slowly realize that the ‘there’ you prayed about may have a more circuitous route in My heart?

What really is the ‘there’ we’re seeking – some earthly destination or ultimately our heavenly home?

In our prayer of trust do we not first and foremost have to Trust in Him for all things?

Perhaps our prayer can be:  “Lord I trust that You are with me at all times and in all  ways and Your heart will work only for my good.”

You see we give God ‘directions’ when we tell him to ‘get us there safely.’

Is not the deeper prayer to place ourselves in His hands trusting totally in His plan for our lives?

In the first instance, I do not want any harm coming to me or my loved ones.

In the second instance, I throw all caution (control) to the wind and let Him be totally in charge and call the shots.

So in the second case, I trust (blindly) that You are with me at all times and that Your will for me and my welfare are more supreme than my will for my welfare.

So instead of:

“I trust Lord that you will get me, us, there safely.”

Perhaps:

“I trust You are with me all ways.”

Talk about unbinding Christ from our wants and allowing His Will for me to reign supreme. 

Lord I trust in You.  Help me to trust even deeper in You.

Quiet, still, trust, be thankful,  kind, not obstinate, open to My word, grateful, joyful, laugh out loud because you are surrounded by My love which should make you giddy. 

Chaos

#48     Oct.  26, 2012,  Friday, 12:30 pm.  St. Theresa’s chapel  

“There is so much I want to say.  I will start with your free will.

Freely given and freely accepted.  I do not interfere with this precious gift you have been given by the Creator.  Do not abuse it.  That sounds like a commandment doesn’t it? Then I shall say it more delicately.  Do not abuse it because it supplies freedom unbound.

It frees you and shows you the difference between good and bad, right and wrong.  Certainly you are able to choose either, but your free will will instruct you to the better choice if you listen carefully.

We, God, gave you free will to unbind you from just acting on instinct.  God created you to nurture your brain by having to consider making choices.  He did not want you  automatically, robotically responding.  He wanted you to discern Truth from fiction.

Otherwise He could not reveal the secrets of creation to you and others.

So our free will expands us as humans, puts us in closer contact to the Know-er of all Truth, allows us to seek our Maker and converse with our Maker and hear and be jubilant in His revelations.

Don’t hesitate to thank the Lord for free will.  What a gift to cherish and treasure.

God wants you to be challenged, to be given the chance to discern, to touch base with Him and know His teachings, become personal with Him and His creation.

Free will opens us to exclaim “WOW” to all we see around us.

Free will enlightens us. Yes even when we choose the ‘not so good’ we become enlightened by the consequences of this choice.  The enlightenment may be painful, yet it still leads us to Truth, which is God!

He lets nothing deflect Him from loving us.  His gift of free will shows how much He loves us.  He does not want us slaves to Him, but He wants us to love and serve as Jesus did.  He does not want us to be burdened with no choice.  He always shows us through our free will that there is always a choice.

He doe not interfere with our choices either.  He does not stand back, but He loves us through all our choices.  He will act if we seek His wisdom and advice, yet no matter He loves us through all our free will choices.  That is all part of His plan.  He would not have given us free will then placed a caveat on it such as “I will love you only if you choose to act in accordance with My will.”

What a chance He has taken on his beloved creatures.  He knew love does not, cannot grow if we have no choices.  Our free will frees us to love or to hate.

He wants us to love of course as He has told us, asked us, instructed us, directed us because He knows love alone brings harmony.

So by creating us with free will, He had to be prepared for Chaos.

(I have never thought of that at all.)

Not that God is the author of Chaos but His Almighty Power even tames Chaos.  Can you imagine Chaos coming face to face with Love?

Yet we have seen it.  Out of the chaos of a storm, people lovingly pitch in to help.  Out of the chaos of our own decisions, there is always a loving hand, a light of hope.

Chaos would be very black and insurmountable if it was not for Love.

So God’s love infused in and through love banishes the evil of chaos.

Chaos wants us hopeless.  Chaos wants us destroyed.  Chaos wants us defeated.  Chaos wants us not to trust in the God of All for All.

Chaos banishes the hope of eternity unless it is brought into the light of His love.

What chaos lies heavy on your soul right now?   Bring Jesus’ love to it right now.  Ask Him to help you seek out the chaos you may not even know you have.  Ask Him to walk with you through it. 

He is waiting, oh He is waiting. 

He is waiting, oh He is waiting. 

Your Guardian Angel

#47     Oct. 25/12   Thursday,  9:40am, st. Theresa’s chapel

“Hasten, I want to tell you about Guardian Angels.

I know you believe in them and I am so glad you do because they play such an important part in the Kingdom of God.

Do not hesitate to send your GA (as you call her) out and about to protect all those you love.  Her will is My will to watch over and bring My love into each person. 

I do not mind if you name your Guardian Angel, thus he or she becomes more personal to you and will do your bidding in accordance with My will.

Do not hesitate to call on her for anything.  We think it is only in times of special need, but not so.  Each moment of your life is a need moment.  You need someone to guard and guide you even when you don’t think you need such protection.  Oh, but I know better.

So be most grateful to your Guardian Angel.  Thank him/her daily for doing the Will of God for His glory and your good.  Thank your GA for working silently in the background not seeking glory but again seeking to serve the purpose for which he/she was created.

Now I hear you say “Is it really a he or a she?”  For the benefit of all, I rather call the GA that than use the pronoun ‘it’.  Whether it is male or female that is of no consequence. 

Do not even let your heart get caught up in such trite ponderings.  Let Me create as I see fit, let your heart accept My creations as always holy and pleasing.

Guard your Guardian Angel.  Keep her safe.   “What is this?” you say?  “What do I mean by these phrases?”

I mean that you are to care for and about your Guardian Angel.  Just as she is responsible for you, you are responsible to treat her with respect and dignity.  If someone slanders your GA --  protect her, forgive the slanderer, console your GA, let her know that you believe, you  trust in her mercy and guidance.

She can suffer without your compassion, yet your compassion brings forth a deeper faith in you, in your faith in the Word of God, in your faith in all that I say and promise. 

If you hold your GA as indifferent, you have deprived yourself of  her wondrous help and aid.  She will not be frustrated at this, yet she is eager, as I am, that she is able to carry out the purpose of her creation.

Rejoice in your God, rejoice with your GA.  Love your GA,  together love the Lord, together.

Listen for her guidance.  She speaks the words whispered to her by the Holy Spirit.  Her power goes beyond your mere knowledge.  Her service is never ending.  She wants to serve you, for in serving you she is serving Me.

Release her to be all that she was meant to be in your life.  Prize her as a pearl.  Laugh with her, cry with her, share your concerns with her.  She swiftly brings Me your concerns, your needs.  She loves to be of service to you.

You see the many gifts I have given you to see you through this life on earth.  What blessings come to your heart and soul when you use My limitless gifts. 

Give each of your grandchildren a Guardian Angel for Christmas.  Let them know about this special person in their lives.

I LOVE being generous

#46     Oct. 24/12,  wed. 3:50pm,  St. Theresa’s chapel   

“Thank you for stopping your talking to Me and are willing to wait for My words to you.

Still your tongue, Still your mind.  Think only of Me and My love for you and for all others.

That should fill your head that nothing else enters.

Just take a few minutes and think of All those I love.

(It is mind boggling Lord when I start to think of just the people I have known in My life – thank You for this gift of seeing Your love over each of them!)

I ache for more to know that I love them.  It is My honor and privilege to love and cherish each of  them.  Please give Me all those you think about to Me to love tenderly, mercifully.  Hold no one back from My love.

Present them to Me knowing that My love will surround them and fill them if they simply raise their eyes and say Hi Lord.  I so want them to know of My love and to cherish it as I cherish them. 

Don’t think there is any magical formula to this.  Don’t be concerned if you should tell them or not.  Tell Me what love you want Me to pour over them and I will, I promise. 

Do not hold back My generosity.  I LOVE being generous.  Come join Me on this Generous Journey.

Don’t look for answers or explanations or insight as to how I will do this, just beg me joyfully to do it, and Thy will be done.

I want you to know that when you will love on others, you are in complete accord with My will.   Awesome eh? 

We often wonder how we will know the will of God --- well,  will love, My love, over and around each person and you will then be in complete accord with My will.

Right now, stop and will My love over and around someone right now.

Don’t try to fix ANYONE.  Just ask Me to fill them with My love. I am the one and only fixer.  Only My love fixes all situations.

Apply the Truth – My unconditional love – to all situations --- hold nothing back. Leave no one outside My love. 

I do not care how you feel about them, what you think they have done wrong, what you think they have done to hurt you.  Get out of the way of My love.

Sincerely and with a humble heart bring them to Me.  Tell Me what you feel is wrong with them, then with all humility release them to My Love.

I tell you we bind more people by our hatred, anger, meanness, than we will ever know.

Now I ask you to bind them in My love, My mercy, My salvation.

I dare you to stand in the middle of all of this awesome love and let it fall over and around you.

Your heart will leap for joy because you have bound your own heart with all these feelings of anger and hurt.  Don’t you want your heart to leap for joy?  I know you do. 

So, many, many times a day give Me someone, anyone over which you want Me to pour My love.  Name it and it shall be done.

So you see who is the servant now???   I am here to do your will and will be delighted to do your will when you will My love over people.

Have you willed My love over the Taliban?  Why not?  I dare you to do it in all trust, in all faith in Me as the Almighty God of All.  Stop, right now and will My love over them.

Free them to know the God of Love.  See yourself taking off the fetters you have imposed on them.  The fetters of hate, disgust, anger.

Now take the fetters off of a child molester --- how painful, how we don’t want to do this because of the horrible things a child molester does.  Yet, I challenge you as one who wants to follow Me, you have to ask Me to give you the powerful grace to do this.  Ask Me.

But you are afraid to ask because you want to hate, you cherish these feelings against such a person.  How will he/she ever know how bad they are if I don’t persist in regarding them lower than dirt?  You don’t want to let them off the hook – the hook of hate, of bitterness.

Yet I hold no such hook.  I hung on the Cross not so that they would suffer, but so that they would know My love.

Take them off your hook and place them at the foot of the Cross to be covered in My redeeming blood.

I assure you that your hatred is worse than their deed.

“NO!” – you say to Me.  But I told you that I will only tell you the Truth. And because you have been graced to know Me and My love, your sin of omitting to love them is much more serious. 

I know many will not want to see or read these words,  but I only speak Truth, The Truth.

So go and unbind people on whom you have placed fetters.

It will be a task so worthy for your eternal soul.”

My Enormous Love

#45     Oct. 23,  Tuesday 9:30am  St Theresa’s chapel   

“Be still, and thank you for visiting Me.

Quiet all concerns in your heart.  Let nothing draw you away from our meeting.  Let nothing get in the way of the message I want to share with you today.

Be grateful, so grateful that I have allowed you to hear how these words of Mine, I ask you to write, are affecting people who read it.

Ask Me about a blog. Please ask Me.

(Lord do you want Your words published on a blog site?)

My words should be scattered all around.  Let them fall wherever.  Let others hear My love and mercy and desire to be their God.  Blog Me, shout Me, whisper Me, email Me, mail Me.  I so desire to reach all hearts.  I so desire to claim them as beloved to their hearts.

Release My words to the 4 winds and let them travel far afield.

Let nothing in you stop My words of love reaching others.  Keep vigil on your heart so that it is not caught judging or discerning who should get this and who should not.  I will tell you to whom to send it even when it seems like these people may not heed it or need it.

Look no further than My heart to lead you on this journey.

Let Me freely give My love to all mankind.  Let nothing stop you from sharing this precious Good News.

I know you have other concerns on how to explain this or that about our faith.  Please now bring these concerns to Me.  Place them in My loving hands and let Me care for those closest to you.

You can’t explain to their heart like I can.  Offer all your trust in all matters to Me.  Let Me explain to their hearts.  Let Me be the key to the Wisdom and Knowledge they need to get directly from Me. 

DO NOT try to satisfy your pride by being the one with the answers.  Give all doubt, concerns, questions to Me and let My divine love permeate them and make them the sense they need to be to reach others.

Do not let your pride come anywhere near My words.  You know it is not all about you rather it is ALL about Me.

I want you to see how pride sneaks in on so many occasions trying to make you feel important and boastful.

Whenever you come up against a ‘problem’ immediately hand it over to Me.

Like how do you explain the presence of the devil?  You can only do so through My words.  I have said so, so any explanation outside of My words will fall flat.

Ask Me not to explain the devil to him, but rather to explain My enormous love to him.  When he hears more about this, his eyes, his heart will understand the presence of the devil in a context surrounded  by love.

If one is not yet secure in My love, it is hard to distinguish good and evil.  We make a  sense out of it that seems to fit the situation, yet falls far short.

Yet in the same breath those who think they know about the devil also think they know about My love.  And that is not necessarily so.

First and foremost – seek the kingdom of God – lovingly, patiently, joyfully and humbly.

Do not look to have all the answers but look to the One who has all the answers. It only makes good healthy common sense.

Release the demons that want to keep you satisfied in yourself, in your thought process.

Banish them by inviting Me to explain ALL to you – and I promise I will.  I can only explain to a heart which does not mind hearing nothing about themselves and All about Me and My love.

There are twists and turns here I know.  There are befuddling moments, yes indeed.  Yet all is clear to Me and I wish  to clarify ALL for you to ease your life, bring joy in sadness, to make the guilty innocent, to enrapture, to capture, to free, to bless, to conquer.  Yes to conquer each heart.  You talk about this ‘battle’ and that ‘battle’.  Yet have you dared to consider the ‘battle’ I have to get into and dwell lovingly in your heart?

First look inward and peruse the scene that faces Me when I approach the door of your heart.   What do you see?  Chunks of wood I have to climb over,  piles of dirt I have to try to get around, fortifications so well built that if I were not God I would not even think to approach.

Look at the battlefield you have built around your heart.  Piles of concerns, piles of worries, piles of things to do, piles of things “I should have done”, piles of trash talk – gossip, envy, maliciousness, piles of pride, piles of disgruntledness , piles of hate, piles of unkindness, piles of want, want, want. 

Yet I am willing and most able to flatten all these piles if you ask Me to be in charge of your heart.  If you invite Me to show you how to flatten these piles that keep you barricaded in and Me barricaded out. 

Do not point outwardly to any ‘battles’ out there.  Dare, yes I say dare to look at the battle within you.  This is the most critical battle ground of all.  Unless you are humbly willing to let Me enter and show you how to bring peace to this battlefield, you will never be able to lovingly address the battlefields out there.

And come to think of it, they will no longer appear as battlefields out there.  But rather as places to which you can bring My love and  mercy.  They take on a whole new meaning and purpose.  Instead of defeating evil, your energies will be spent sowing My love, My mercy.

This suit of armor – My love, My mercy, is one size fits all, so anyone can put it on ‘in My name’ and go forth, not to do battle, but to spread far and wide My mercy, My love.

Come aside and put on this coat of armor – love and mercy – and now apply it to each and every situation.

Stay close to Me, abide in Me and let love and mercy reign. 

Your Purpose!

#44     Oct. 22/12, Monday, 9:40am, St. Theresa’s chapel  (Your purpose!)

“So when you settled in My heart you heard many things.  At first it did not make sense but soon you caught on.

You heard the wind stand still, you heard the spider throwing out his tendril web, you heard the sea gull swallow, you heard the suction from the clam disappearing in the sand, you heard the yelp of some animal somewhere.  Of course you did not ‘hear’ humanly, but you heard with your heart in Mine.

You heard the lady bug fold her wings.

Each of these things you heard are all part of My creation.  They all blend in with the gentle nature I created. 

You are thinking some things that happen in nature are not gentle.  Perhaps to your eyes and senses.

Yet all creation falls under My creating.  Life and death are all part of creation.  The word gentle is not as you perceive it – but in accordance with My will.

Do not stop to try to figure Me out.  I am fathomless, but rest assured what I say is True and, when I tell you, it is for the benefit of all. 

Each one of you wants Me to be Me for you.  But I am not.

You cannot conform Me to your liking.  You can only sit in awe at all that you don’t know and still I love you for it.  You do not have to know ALL, that is not your role.  Ask Me what I want you to know.  Go on Ask Me!

So you asked.  And My answer is – to know that I love you.  Nothing else matters.  This line seems to flow through all these writings – yet it is such an invaluable phrase for you to know and to know that it comes from Me – the know-er of ALL things.

If anything else mattered, do you not think I would share it with My beloved ones.  Of course I would – that is what love is all about – sharing the deepest Truth of All – you are loved, and you are loved, and you are loved.  There is nothing else the human heart desires than to be loved.  Yet it is so afraid to leap in and trust.

My heart is an open book.  It speaks of love, it offers love, it nourishes love, it consoles with love.

Do not take your eyes off My loving heart.

Be still and ponder Me.  Ponder My love.  Sit cozily in My heart and listen to the rhythm of love.  It will capture you, enrapture you, console you, enliven you, enrich you, free you, embolden you, enkindle you.

Let Me burn in you.  Erase all doubt and let me set you on fire with My love, for love.  Don’t rant and rave at others, but love them to the highest heights and the lowest depths.  Do not judge, but ask Me to judge your actions and words and thoughts and to gently correct them as only I can without judgment or confusion.  I will show you how to act, what to say, what to think if you will only ask.

You have heard of pray always.  Well let ‘asking Me” be your constant prayer.  You will pray always, be in communion with My heart if you ask Me in all circumstances.  That will increase your prayer life a hundred fold.  Ask for the smallest, ask for the largest.  Ask Me.  And see what I can and will release in your life. 

I bow, I bend, I adore My dear created ones.  Come aside and sit ‘in love’.  Know that you are adored – what a new phrase for you to hear.  But it is true.  I adore you and you and you and you.  My love cannot be contained.  It has to flow forth in adoration.

Do you hear the broom? (Veronica is sweeping the altar.)  She serves Me with each stroke of that broom.

Come aside and use the ‘broom’  I give you  to serve Me.

Don’t hesitate.  Don’t debate.  Just simply come aside and be willing to do My will.  It takes so much more courage, grace and strength to do My will instead of yours.  Believe Me.  It is much easier to follow one’s own human will than to allow one to forget all their intentions – no matter how good they are – and ask to follow My will.

Do not look to you to solve your problems.  Look to Me for all your needs, big or small.

You can’t hide your wants and needs from Me.  You can choose to make them more important than choosing My will and would you believe I honor that due to your free will.  But I still know what they are and how restricted they are until they are placed before Me.  They may seem a mountain in your eyes yet they are never insurmountable in Mine.  Some do not even deserve your attention and going to Me with them can take a lot off your plate.

Search Me.   Ache to know Me.  Desire My words in your heart and no others.  Accept the graces I pour forth that enable you to choose obedience to My will.  This obedience does not make you a slave, but rather lifts you to the heights of  a servant to which all have been called.

Isn’t it crazy that we hate, avoid the word service, servant, yet I have said “the son of Man came not to be served, but to serve. (mt. 10: 35-45)

So to be My followers, one must serve.  Knowing this purpose only can free you.  There is nothing else to seek.  Cry alleluia – you have found your purpose!
