A new penance!!

#299  Mon. Sept. 8, 2014, 10am, St. Theresa’s, before the Blessed Sacrament

Keep cool My People.  Do not venture into the darkness.  Stay with Me, remain with Me and if darkness descends on you, know that I am with you to dispel this darkness.

Do not wander into the unknown without Me.  Because ALL is unknown without Me as your companion and guide.

Do not attempt to solve things, to figure things out, to run around in circles trying to make sense of things.

Come to Me.  Bring the nonsensical to Me and let us sit together and look at it.  It is never a puzzle for Me and thus I will help to make it less puzzling to you.

We hitch our wagon to a star.  I tell you to grab hold of and hang onto Me.  I Created the star, so it has no power other than what I have given it.  I have the power to make sense of ALL.

It may not appear at first to be the sense you were expecting, planning, hoping for.  But My sense of the rightness of things puts ALL in its TRUE perspective.

You do not have the vision of ALL and of what ALL needs.  I do.

So when you go about trying to fix things, you are not doing it from the full perspective of Truth and Right.

That is why I encourage you to drink deep of the waters of My Love, My Knowledge, My Caring.  Do not be afraid to hear what you least expect to hear as the solution. 

If the solution is coming from Me there is nothing to fear.

We harden our hearts to My Words because we are afraid they may reveal to us a Truth we would rather not hear.

But are we not all seeking the Truth?  Daily we seek Truth – in our conversations, our ways, our deliberations, our aloneness.

But is it the Truth according to you or according to Me?

Your truth does not reach into eternity.  Mine does.

When you speak My Truth it will stand the test of time.

So, yes you can speak My Truth, but yet it is not your truth is it.

My Truth comes from Me and returns to Me – unscathed, unharmed, in its fullness.

So, seek My Truth.  Seek to live in My Truth, to only proclaim My Truth, to trust in My Truth.

But it is not My Truth, if it is not spoken in Love, if it does not reflect the marvelous Love I have for each person.

Look at the world leaders some of whom are doing atrocious things to their people and others.

My Truth definitely proclaims that murder is wrong, yet I still call each one of them My Beloved.

Can you, will you do the same?

Tell Me that sometimes you do not love Me as you should.  You choose to step away from our relationship and sin.  Yet, I have told you I do not stop loving you entirely, completely without hesitation. 

So you can do the same yourself.  Can you recognize when you sin and yet believe that I still Love you?

You know that when you sin, you get cross with yourself for having done such and such, yet you never run to Me and thank Me for Loving you in the midst of, and before, and after you sin. 

We keep asking:  “ how can I make it up to you Lord?”

That is not where I want you to spend your time and energy.

I want you to hastily express your sorrow by telling Me that you believe and trust that I am with you always not chastising you but Loving, Loving, Loving you.

This may be harder than any penance I could impose because we all want to, or feel we need to, do great penances for our sins.

But while you are trying to appease Me, you are not with Me, hearing My Tender Words of Love for you.  You are busy doing something that will not bring you closer to me, but will make you more independent of Me. 

What a shocker, eh?

Come and sit with Me and let Me lavish My Love on you. 

When you sin it is because you have lost some of the Graces you need to avoid sin.  Come to Me and be replenished often.  I want to help you to avoid sin.

Yet, when you have sinned you feel you have to start all over again.  Getting to know Me, getting back into My Good Graces, it seems almost futile if you look at it like that.

By your own efforts you cannot become more holy and less a sinner.

If I stopped loving you because you did sin, then for certain you would feel you had to make every effort to regain My Love.

But I am not like that.  I do not ever stop Loving you.  Rest assured of that.

So even after you have sinned, do not beat yourself up but rather come running into My Most Sacred Heart thanking and praising Me for the Loving God that I AM.  Thanking and praising Me for never letting you out of the sight of My Love; for never abandoning you to your own ways; for being a constant, loving companion through thick and thin.

The faster you retreat to My Most Sacred Heart, the faster you will be filled with more Graces to fend off sin.

You see when you are doing penances, you are in the midst of you and your making efforts to improve you. 

From now on I ask you to make your penance a very fast run into My Most Sacred Heart, there to praise and glorify Me for loving you always, constantly and now.

Your sin has taken you away from Me.  Please do not let it keep you away from Me until you feel you are worthy to be in My Presence again.

That is such the devil’s work.  Not only does he encourage you to sin, but then he whispers how bad you are and all that you will have to do to get in My Good Graces again.

This is FALSE.   This is NOT MY TRUTH.

Stand firm in My Truth I beg of you.

Come to Me all who are weary and heavy burdened and I will give you rest.  Do not stay away from My Love, endeavoring to seek a solution on your own which only leads to unrest.

May you always run into My Sacred Heart.
