Two Dimensional

#142  June 2, 2013, Sunday, 9:35am, at home

My Body and My Blood.  Do any of you realize the preciousness of these 2 elements?

Let Me explain:  I want you to know their preciousness.  They are to be treasured not as superficially holy but very, very holy.

That means that your heart must come to the conclusion of the preciousness.  Your head has heard it, but now your heart has to absorb it.

Each time you receive Me, ask this precious gift to go straight to your heart.  Ask that all the graces contained therein expand your seeking heart.

You take in the host physically and I know you thank Me when you receive Me but take Me into your heart and ask Me for all the graces it contains.

I know you are thankful and thanking Me for coming to little ole you, but it can’t just stop with thanks, it must go into the asking mode otherwise the graces are stagnant.  When you are busy thanking Me that is one directional.  When you continue on with asking for all the graces then it is 2 dimensional.

One dimensional – I come to you and you thank Me for doing so, as you should --- but it doesn’t stop there.

Two dimensional --  I come to you, you thank Me BUT then you ask Me to pour out all the graces within My precious Body and Blood into your heart.

You thanks explodes into asking.  You truly believe that not only do I come to you but that in this sacrament I have so many graces tied up that are just waiting for you to pull the string of trust – you trust that with this sacrament it just isn’t Me you receive but Me who abounds in grace and mercy.

Unknowingly we sometimes ‘just receive Me’ not realizing the abundance of graces I yearn to pour over and into your hearts.

So, after you have received My Body and My Blood, thank Me for coming to you, then beg Me to release My graces into your heart.

I come to you in My physical presence and that is how you receive Me.  However I want to feed your heart and soul and by asking for the grace that Communion holds in the small host and the precious blood your heart and soul will be even greater nourished. 

Think of all the small prayers you say when you receive Me in Communion –

“Thank you Jesus for coming to me.”

“I love you Lord Jesus.”

“Fill me with Your Presence.”   Etc. etc.

Yet the majority of times we do not beseech Him to release all the graces contained in each Communion.  We are so busy saying thanks or admitting we are not worthy, or asking Him to help us through this situation or that situation that we miss our on begging for His storehouse of graces.

Think now.  Think of how many times we have not asked Him for all the graces contained in His Precious Body and Blood.

So, ask Me now!   Sit quietly and reflect on all the Communions you have received in your life and now ask Him to release all the graces that each of those Communions held for your heart and soul. 

He so much wants you to be a healthier and more whole communicant.

He desires that you trust that He can and will release the graces meant for you in all the Communions over all the years.  What a generous God!

He wants nothing wasted that can be beneficial for our heart and soul.

So sit quietly.  Adore Me.  Show your true adoration by asking Me trustingly for all the graces I have waiting to pour over you.

PS.  Do not dare to beat yourself up for the times you have not asked Me for the graces contained in each Communion you have received.

Be ever so grateful, grateful to overflowing that you now know that you can still make use of these past graces right now!

I am waiting to pour out an abundance of graces all over the world – Just Ask.

"Looking Pious or Being Pious"

#141  May 29, 2013, 10am, at home.

I do not grow impatient with My Beloved Ones.  Then you see, if I do, I do not love unconditionally.

To love unconditionally does not call faith impatience.  It calls faith patience.  As it says in Corinthians “Love is patient”.  This teaching describes who I am to you.  Not so much what you should practice, though, more so what I am to you. 

If you do not see who I am, how will you ever be able to imitate Me?  “Be as perfect as the Father is perfect.”

Now we know, because of original sin, that the perfection of the Father cannot be our perfection.  Yet, He generously has given us a goal to strive for. 

He does not leave us abandoned to figure it out on our own.  He has most generously given us guidelines.  What a generous God!

Yet we think ‘oh I can’t possibly reach God’s perfection’ – yet I can reach the perfection He has planted in my heart if I so choose.  Not the perfection I have perceived for myself, but His perfection of me in me.

We don’t reach our perfection because we already have ‘figured out’ what we think He wants of us to be perfect.

So now we are to discard this false image of what we think perfection should be in us, and ask Him to show us the perfection He has planted in each of us.

It will be quite startling to say the least how much He will change us for the better – if we ask Him to.

Yet so often we are quite satisfied with our own perfection – almost making up words and actions that we think will reflect to others our perfection in our faith.

Be very careful – this is such false faith – this is such a false God you have put in place before Me. 

Throw aside all you do that you think makes you look pious to others.  Put on deep, deep humility and ask Me to show you how to behave before Me – not before others.

You do not serve Me by false piety.  You only mock My Words to be humble and obedient. 

So, I challenge you  --  stop all the ‘signs’ of piety that you use now because you want to look pious, and come and ask Me how to behave piously before Me.

Think of all the actions you do to look pious to others and ask yourself “why do I do these?”  “To whom am I giving honor and glory?”  -- to me?,   to God?

Ask Me to show you what are external pious things you do, and then ask Me if your heart supersedes these outward actions?

In other words, does this piety come only from the depths of your heart to honor and glorify Me or do they ache to show others how pious you think you are? 

Do you want to look pious before others, or do you want to be pious before Me?

You see, if you are pious before Me you may not receive any honor and glory from others.  Yet, when you want to appear pious before others, you have tossed Me aside and crave the honor and glory that is due only for Me, for yourself.

If your outward piety is not proving fruitful, then hastily seek to be truly pious before Me.

Seek not to be pious before Me.  Seek Me to show you how to be truly pious before Me.

And if I ask you to change a word or behaviour or action and you think “No, God does not want me to do that.”  Then who in heavens name are you obeying, do you want to obey?  Certainly not Me.

So each time you go to do something that ‘looks pious’, jump back into My Heart and let yourself ‘be pious’ only before Me.

You waste precious moments trying to look pious to others while you could be spending those precious moments ‘being pious’ only before Me.  i.e. I do not need your outer actions to show Me piety.  I want a heart endeavoring to be humble before Me so no one else but Me sees your piety.

Excessive show of piety tells Me that you want the attention on you.  It shows Me that you feel you need to keep reminding Me how pious you are.  Remember I see into your heart.  I know your real intentions. 

Let Me give you an example:  When you come into church to take your seat in a pew you genuflect.  And that shows Me you honor My special presence before you.

Then you may have to take up collection or read, or serve, thus leaving your pew and returning to it.   Why would you need to genuflect again?

It shows Me that perhaps you weren’t secure enough in your first greeting and want to be sure I see it this time.

 OR

It indicates you feel this is ‘piety’ on your part that others will see and praise you for.

That is so far from the truth.

For instance, when you visit someone you may first shake hands or hug each other – correct?  That is a normal thing to do.  Then if you leave the room and come back in, do you greet them again, just in case you think they didn’t get the greeting the first time?

No.  and even if you get up and walk around the room maybe admiring photos, paintings, etc., when you return to your seat do you ‘greet’ those you are visiting again?  No.

So, the next time you plan to make a pious gesture to Me again, jump back into your heart and make a most sincere prayer to Me with no outward sign.

Do not look to see what others are doing/not doing – ask Me if this is the kind of expression of piety that is most obedient and humble to You.

Ask Me to make you so humble that no one sees your piety but Me. 

We often want the world to see us, yet the only one who can reward you for your obedience and deep humility is Me.

Whom do you wish to impress?  Whom do you want to get all your honor and glory?

I beg you be o so careful of the devil who wants you to satisfy your by shows of piety.  He will tell you how great you look, how honorable you look, how holy you look.  He knows the things you do to look pious keep you very far from being pious before Me. 

He wants you to waste your time in looking good, instead of being good in My presence alone.

You know I think he calls this pride and he wants you to be so occupied with you and how you ‘look’ to others, that your heart will not seek out My Heart to just ‘be’ with Me.

Let us ask ourselves “How does God see Me?”  “How does He want me to see me through His Eyes?”

Am I willing to go to my room and do all for Him without others knowing?

Put all your “I am pious” signs before Me to be consumed in the fire of My Love.

Now place your heart in Mine and let Me refine ‘your piety’ into the piety that I want you to express only to Me. 

Come sit with Me and I will teach you a most deeper piety that will move your heart to rejoicing.

Come sit with Me.

Start small

#140  May 27, 2013, Sunday 10:30pm, at home.

Do not let your hearts be troubled.

Trust in Me that all that comes into your life is neither bad nor good because it all comes from Me. 

If it seems bad to you, still announce to your heart that because it is from God and of God’s plans for me it cannot be bad.

Now this is hard to do in times of extreme pain,  so I encourage you to start small.  Yes start small.  If your pen runs out of ink, trust that it is of God for your good and His glory.

If it rains and you really, really wanted sunshine, thank Him for being in charge.

If some catastrophe occurs, trust that if is from God and that you thank Him because His Hand and Heart and Love were there to show deep compassion. 

If you break a glass and it shatters, trust that His Heart has been shattered many times yet He carries on.

If you cry, thank Him for tears that help you to express your sorrow or your joy.

Don’t center around the event.  Immediately surround it with God, who must always be your center.  Then you will see and accept it through His Heart, through His Will.  Otherwise we throw ourselves into the middle and lose our One and Only worthwhile Center.

So I say to you – start off with simple things and instead of getting angry or frustrated at something, instantly take it to the Lord.  Your soul must not be allowed to suffocate under your hasty human belief that all is lost. 

We have placed so much value on the things of this world that we zip past our eternal purpose and goal. 

We throw all of our earthly selves into situations while ignoring the God who is first and foremost the center of each situation. 

Lift up your eyes – see beyond the pain of the situation – look into the eyes of your God and rejoice in My presence in this situation.  Don’t rejoice hoping for answers, but rather rejoice with God that you do not need an explanation.  You only want to live in His Love which can raise you above all hurt and pain.

So take this simple task into your heart and endeavor as part of your daily prayer – anytime during your day – that you will assign it to God.  Especially the tragedies which hurt us to the quick, but that is because we have made them the center and not God.

Pray simply “God your hand is on this, and all will be well.”

Maybe not the “well” we would apply to it, but the “well” He sees in it through eternity.

Tell Me right now that when you are in pain you will endeavor to see His Hand on it.  When the pain comes, you may have so much pain that you can’t express this trust in Him.  So let Him know now when you are pain-free, to grace you when you are pain-filled to see and proclaim to your heart that He is in charge.  Practice, practice, practice beforehand so that prayer will rise up automatically from your soul to be whispered in His Ear when your pain is quite unbearable.

This practice allows you to trust, to express your trust deeper and deeper into your heart that will give you strength and encouragement when times seem tough.

I tell you this stored up trust will strengthen you in tough times. 

I want to strengthen you.  Yet I can only do this if you invite Me in each day to practice this trust prayer with you. 

I want to be your anchor.  I do not want you to float adrift not knowing who your anchor is, who you can trust to make things eternally right.

If you cling to this world, you will not be able to cling to Me.  For this world ends, it stops, it does not move into eternity, yet I do, I am.

If I offered you money enough to see you well taken care of in this life, and then offered to lead you compassionately into eternity, which would you choose?

Will you choose the things of this world to satisfy you, or will you opt to let Me lead you through this into eternal life? 

Will material goods be your center or will I, God, be your center? 

When your center is this material world, you will only see things as good or bad.

When you allow Me to be the center of your life, no matter what happens, you will accept it as all good and right and holy because it comes from Me – I either direct it or allow it to happen – so it can’t be bad in My Eternal Plan.  

Yes, there will be sorrow at some circumstances, but don’t look on them as God’s absence.  Let your trust in My Will be stronger than the pain in your material heart.

Let it call Me not to explain why this, why that?  Let it call Me in trust that I am all over this situation.

Proclaim to your heart that I am all present in all circumstances and gratefully thank Me for giving you such a grace to pray in thanks and praise to the One in Charge of All.

So begin right now, in all circumstances, (do not wait for a Big One to come along) and thank and praise ME for My Love and goodness over all.  It is a practice we need to start, so we can be better prepared when the Big Ones come along. 

Accept that I have said "I LOVE YOU"

#139  at home in answer to a friend’s email

(she had asked me to tell the Lord how much she loves him)

(I wrote back to her: :  Right now I will take my soul and your soul  to be in his Holy Presence, together. The following is what He asked me to convey to both our souls.) 

How grateful He is for our faithfulness to Adoration which shows not our duty to be there but rather our love for Him.  He thanks us for our love, yet He keeps saying "Do you know how much I love you, do you believe I love you, are you grateful for My Gracious Love?  Do not look for an expression of His Love to affirm His Love in our hearts.   Be willing to accept what I have said "I love you" .

Now go and live in My Love.  

(do you see, Anne, He sends us out in 2's as He did with His apostles!!!!!   Not necessarily in bodily 2's, but rather more importantly in soul 2's.)

(Her follow-up email:  "I will also say a special prayer to Our Lady to keep you enfolded in Her Mantle to protect you and to remain courageous in spreading His Word and not be bothered by negative responses." )

(His instructions for all of us who may wonder ‘why don't they get it?')

He does want me to know further that even asking that question should not be on my mind or lips. If it does not honor and respect the person God created, then it does not pay homage to Him.

Lord you know how to do this!

#138  May 24, 2013, 1:15, at home.

Put aside all questioning, all concerns.

Come into My Holy Presence where you will find answers to all things.

Let Me tell you More about Me.

Hush your heart. Hush your mind --  place All of you before Me.

Do you not think I know your concerns?  But as long as you do not bring them to Me, you have not asked Me to be present to you and reveal all to you. 

Do you see how we operate a lot of times apart from Me?  You may not think that it is a concern that I should be concerned about?

But if I say I love you, how do I separate one part of you from another?

It is you who separate yourself.  Certain things are things that God should have a look at, while others are not.  How do you make this conclusion when you don’t even consult with Me?

So when you say “I don’t know” – you are being truthful.  Yet there is One who knows ALL and most willing to share it.

Admit to yourself that “thank goodness I don’t know” because then you give honor and glory to the One who does.

So then maybe you will willingly ask Me  such and such instead of struggling to figure it out yourself.

Have you given Me Weekend Adoration?  You do feel I inspired you to look into this.  Then why would I not inspire each step after that?

Since the idea originated with Me, why would I also not have the solution IN FULL.

Ask Me each day to inspire you with the next step, then the next, then the next.

If you have taken this on as a challenge, then you have it all wrong.  If you have taken this on as something good coming from Me, All of it coming from Me, then you shall succeed.  So ask Me now “Lord what it the next step?”  Let go of even trying to think it through and let Me spoon feed you the little steps to glory.

Don’t say “Lord I don’t know how to do this.”  Rather say “Lord You know how to do this.  Help me to fulfill Your plan.”  So no glory falls on you.  All Glory falls on Me.

Tell yourself that you do not want to do this with God’s Help.  Tell yourself that with God’s Will this will be done.  Take yourself out of the equation thus avoiding contact with any glory.

Put All of Me over My plan and then wait obediently and humbly so you will know the next step when I present it to you.

Caution:  don’t go looking for the next step.  Be as though you are in a vacuum waiting to be filled with My Next Step.

Do not come to Me and present Me with your next step.  Be humble enough not to want to make you feel you have a good idea. 

Relying totally on Me to make this happen, shows obedience and humility.

Do not bring Me what you think is a good idea.  That almost screams “I have a good idea” – not Lord You have a good idea.

Our human nature desires to be and look brilliant.

Remember that each idea you have has come from Me, FIRST.

Then our pride jumps in and tells us that we better do something for this to come about otherwise people will think we are being lazy on moving this along, or afraid that folks think you fearful of beginning this, etc, etc.

The devil wants you fearful ‘in your soul’ because where there is a nurtured fear I cannot enter, and thus any inspiration I have for you cannot take a foothold. 

So hand Me your pride and fear and let Me nurture the fullness of you which equals obedience and humility. 

If you are not obedient then you don’t love Me unconditionally.

If you are fearful, you love and believe in you more than Me.

So quietly and obediently bring Me your soul, then go out into the world and bring Me someone else’s soul.  Wait, I will give you the name – not someone you would have expected to be in front of Me today in union with your soul, eh?

Come before Me and just adore.  You thought it might be a soul that needs healing  as you see healing.  But this soul needs the time to come aside and adore and you are the vehicle I have used.  So as he goes about his responsibilities, he still has time to adore.  Come, the 2  of you before Me now. 

Come adore the Onee who wants to lead you to the fullness of life.

Before all of these writings you would have come before Me in pleading, asking, begging.  Yet now when I ask you to come and just adore you know what I want of you.  I already know your concerns.  I want you to know My concerns for you!

It is not in the asking.  It is all in the giving!  Giving  yourself and another to Me in adoration.  So when you leave you at the door, all you have left is to adore.

I hear you thinking “but Lord You said You wanted all of me.”

And that is true.  However you see, the all of you is deep obedience and humility which clashes with the all of you that is materialistic.  I want all before Me, but the only thing of you that needs to come before Me is your obedience and humility.

If I do not ask for the “all of you” I might never get to see and work on and love you and the whole of you – obedience and humility. 

The Greatest Gift

#137  May 17, 2013,  Friday, 11am, St Theresa’s before the Blessed Sacrament

My Holy People.  Stop and stay with Me awhile.

I welcome your company and encourage you to sit with the Maker of All and just relish in My Presence.

Do not be stubborn and think you don’t have time for this.  I have given you each moment, so do not tell Me you are in charge of time.  Only I Am.

Sit gently and see how time can pass most fruitfully in My Presence.

You will find that you have to do nothing in My Presence.  No chores, no errands, no talking, no busy-ness.

We can keep ourselves busy doing very good things.  And I appreciate all of these.

Yet I ask you what do you think is the greatest gift you can offer to Me?  YOU.

Not ‘busy you’ or ‘doing good deeds you’ but just you with Me.  Doing nothing, just being together.

We are all rather good at showing our love of neighbor, however we fall short on the First greatest commandment – Love your God with all your heart, all your mind, all your strength.

Will you come aside and sit with Me and give Me ‘all your heart’?

Will you come aside and sit with Me and give Me ‘all your mind’?

Will you come aside and sit with Me and give Me ‘all your strength’?

I want you here before Me with NO distractions.  That is True Love.  When nothing else gets in the way of the 2 of us loving one another and knowing the love of the other.

You are willing to serve others.  Are you willing to serve Me?

If I call and say I need help will you come and visit Me and ask what I need help with?

You know what I need help with – getting into your heart.

You may do Great Good things, but I want you to do Great God things.

Even someone who does not know Me can do good things.

Knowing Me though takes you to a new level.  The Good things you do, you do in My Name.

But the ‘knowing ME’ cannot, must not stop there.

To truly do things in My Name you have to spend time with the One whose Name you do it in.

It is like hockey.  I can play on a team and do good things with the team, but if I do not spend time outside of hockey with them --  all we are is a hockey team.  Not individuals who though willing to play on a team, do not get to know each other on the team.

There is the spirit in each other that we have to find and meet and know and respect.

So come aside and meet The Spirit that abides in each person.  It just isn’t their smile or their pleasant personality, it is a far deeper part of them that only I the Giver of this deeper part can bring to your attention.

Many of us put into action what we feel our faith calls us to.  However, we don’t first get in touch with the Origin of our Faith to make sure we are just not too comfortable doing what we think needs doing.

What are you ‘doing’ that keeps you from being entirely, solely in My Presence.

Ask yourself:  “I don’t mind spending hours volunteering, etc, yet am I willing to spend an hour volunteering to keep Me company?

Again I appreciate all the good so many of you are doing.  Yet when I ask you for an hour of your time with Me, it almost seems like you feel it is not good enough to do.

Who will measure it?   Who are you helping?  How can I stop ‘doing’ a good thing out in the community to come aside and pass the time with God?  There is so much to be done that I can’t possibly give over an hour to spend with the Lord in silent adoration.

Ask yourself:  “why do I allow this barrier between you, God, and me?”

Am I afraid that You will take me to places I don’t want to go?  Like into the middle of Your Most Sacred Heart where all will be revealed to me and I may find that I am not doing Your Will but mine.

You can’t truly love your neighbor if first and foremost you don’t love Me.

How do you show your neighbor you love them?  --  by doing things for them when you know they need it or ask for it.

So now I will ask you – “Are you willing to treat Me as your neighbor and help Me when I ask you to come aside and sit with Me and let Me speak of My Love for you?”

Do you believe in My Real Presence in the Tabernacle, in the Sacred Host?  Then if you say you do, then you will be so inclined to come aside and spend time with Me – the eternal person in your life. 

Do not abandon Me for the other charitable works you are doing. 

It is your God first and foremost whom you are asked to serve.  And the greatest service you can do is to come aside and sit with Me and listen to Me talk about how I love you and how I want your heart to truly love.

You may love to serve others, yet I want you to learn to forgive others.  And you can only do that through My Instruction.

Come aside and let Me love you into a whole different level of service.

Thank you for coming.  I love you, go in peace to serve Me more fully.

Death cannot destroy Love

#136  May 14, 2013, st Theresa’s before the Blessed Sacrament

(Lord give me the words for the healing rock garden invitation.)

Blessed are you.  This child which brought hope and love into your lives is not dead but alive in the Lord.

Do not lose the hope and love that filled your heart.  Come aside and remember dear baby at the healing rock garden.

Carry with you the love this baby brought to your heart.  Express this love by painting baby’s name on  a rock and placing it in the Healing Rock Garden.

Your baby will join many others who brought a special love to their parents which death cannot destroy.
