Lord, I want to be sin-free

#386   Sunday, May 24/15, 8:45am, St. Theresa’s, before Blessed Sacrament

Let Me speak to you of My Divine Mercy.

It overflows always from My Precious Wounds.  I took Mercy on all of you and chose to suffer and die so that you could live anew in the Gospel of Truth. 

Quieten your heart.  Hear Me whisper to you that I have an abundance of Mercy that I want to pour over you --- that I do pour over you.

It may not seem like it to you, but that does not say it is not happening.

Is your heart and soul open to receiving?  Tell Me that you first and foremost want your heart open to all these Precious Mercy Gifts I have for you.

It is useless to ask for the Graces if first you do not solicit My Help to open and prepare your heart to receive it.

Are you cross when you ask for My Divine Mercy?

Are you upset with someone, even yourself when you ask for My Divine Mercy?

Are you unforgiving when you ask for My Divine Mercy?

CHECK YOUR HEART.  You know that My Mercy cannot nourish you if your heart is not abiding in My Love. 

We ask for Mercy.  “Have mercy on me Lord, a sinner”  Yet are we as anxious to add that I want to be rid of these sins?

It sounds like such a humble statement “Be merciful to me Lord, a sinner”.

But are you truly sorry you are a sinner, or do you use that as an excuse for your behavior which you tell Me you can’t change?

Come to Me all who are heavy burdened and I will give you rest. 

You see you first have to admit and realize that you are heavy burdened!  If you think of that as an aside and not the prime thing you have to address, then how will you be saved by My Mercy?

Hasten to listen. 

Hasten to come to Me and lay out all you feel is not right in your life – all your sins of distrust, regret, name-calling, un-forgiveness.

Heap them on Me.  Tell Me that you need the Graces from My Mercy to release you from the sins that bind each of us.

Tell Me that you need My Mercy so you can walk in the freedom of My Love. 

Tell Me you wish to be sin-free.  Yes, tell Me that.  Do not say it is impossible, for all is possible with Me.  So just tell Me you want to be sin-free.

I will not wave a magic wand, yet I will give you the Graces to strengthen you so you will not be tempted to walk in sin.

Trust that My Graces will strengthen you and keep you and gently reveal to you when you have sinned and encourage you to hasten to spill your sins before Me.

Do not add up your sins so you have 10 to tell the priest.  If you feel you have sinned, hasten to Confession.  If there is not a priest available, hasten to Me and tell Me what you have done and how truly sorry you are.

 

Do not get caught in the web of lies that this or that really isn’t a sin.  NO,NO, No.

Come to Me and beg Me to reveal to you the sins you have to admit and address to be healed from.

I will obediently reveal them to you since you have told Me you wish to be sin-free.

This does not mean you will not sin, but that I will free you from the dredges of sin, from the dirt, mire, blindness, causticness of sin.

Bring your sins to Me quickly!  Thus enabling your soul to live freer from sin.

Do you see My Mercy at work here?

I Forgive your sins so you can live in freedom from the clutches of sin.

Because it isn’t just the sin that drags us down but all the junk it collects around it when it is let to sit and fester and take on a further depth of sin.

I want you to live free from sin too.  So come to Me often beseeching My Mercy on your sins which you sincerely confess.
