Release your soul into My Generous Care

#389  Sunday, June 7/15, 12:05am, at home  (bedside book)

Quiet My People.  The night is still.  Listen to My Voice.

I want to bestir your soul to greatness.  Not greatness as the World thinks of it, but rather greatness of Love, greatness of Kindness, greatness of Humility, greatness of Abandonment --- abandoning your soul into My Loving Hands.

Does this kind of greatness intrigue you and make you want to seek for it?  OR does it pale in comparison to the greatness in this World?  Would you prefer Worldly greatness and adulation, or rather your soul raised to greater goodness before its Creator?

We must surrender our need for worldly adoration and ask for the Grace to realize the greatness of a good soul.

Do you realize what you can accomplish if you give over your soul to Me to manage and direct?

You will not receive a whole bunch of worldly acclamation.  So please do not expect it.

Release your soul into My Generous Care.

You see when you surrender yourself to Me each day, it is really your soul that needs to be surrendered to Me. 

Then your thoughts are less likely to have the chance to mislead your soul because you have entrusted it to Me and can continue to do this anytime throughout the day.

We can keep a pristine body with creams and exercise, but if the soul is not as pure as possible the body falls into decay even though it may look great.

Yes the body does deteriorate but it will do so with natural progression, not because it is led to decay by the soul, a rudderless soul.

Yet if the soul is strong and well directed, even though the body may be fragile and sick it is still well.

Sound strange?

You see, if your soul is well directed and Graced by Me, you will not be distracted in seeing My Blessings for you in this World.

You will not look upon your body and be discontent with this or that.  If the body gives out on you, you will be able to accept this part of God’s Plan for you, if your soul is in a healthy state.

It is when your soul is sick that you are more likely to pick on and be discontent with a sick body.  You will not want to accept suffering as something worthy of living through or with.

Endeavor to make sure your soul is always in a safe harbor.  Then when you look upon the World around you it will not seem so impossible and overwhelming.

So, daily surrender your precious soul to Me with great Joy and Trust and Reliance and Patience and Honesty and Love.

Align your soul to Mine.  Follow Me.

Lord, help me surrender

#388  Thurs. June 4/15, 7:30am.   At home.

Lord, I come to do Your Will.

It is such an easy line that slips off our lips.  Yet it is a very hard line to follow.

When, during the day, do  you mention that you don’t want to do this and would prefer to do that?

It is true.  We would love to do My Father’s Will but, it had better be the same as mine.  Right?

Let go of everything.  Surrender everything to Me.  Start with the small.  These are easy things to do but then gradually the harder things to surrender will be much easier.

I do not want My People in chains.  I want you to experience the freedom of freely falling into My Precious Arms.  It is a Trust thing for sure,  yet I invite you daily to Trust in Me regarding all things.

You surrendered your day to Me, but you are already thinking about what you will do today.  These things do not jive, go together.

Otherwise you are torn as to what to surrender and what to keep hold of.

Very easily each time you start to plan your day, simply tell Me “I surrender it all to You, Lord.”

And then end it with a Hail Mary, or Our Father, or Glory Be.

Make it a mini prayer time.  Make this request to Me a mini prayer time.

Because it is a request even though you are telling Me that you surrender – what you really need is for Me to help you surrender.  Right?

So you can say, “Lord help me surrender all to You.”

You see, in this prayer, your reliance on Me to help you surrender.  You and all of you need My Graces to surrender all of you to Me. 

Expect to be set A-Fire

#387  Sat. May 30/15, 2pm. At home   

 

Come and listen to the Good News.

You are reborn again in the Spirit.  Each day is an awakening in you of the rumblings of the Holy Spirit eager to be at work in you.

Invite the Holy Spirit to reside in your newly created heart!  Welcome His Guidance, His Nourishment, His Commitment to you that He will enlighten you if you so wish.

Call on the Holy Spirit often.  Do not think that once a day is sufficient.  If you really want to draw closer and closer to Me, then call on the Holy Spirit often.

I have sent you the Holy Spirit to allow you to continue My Work in the World.

Do not shy away from the challenges offered you by acquainting yourself with the Holy Spirit. 

We may be afraid, and content with our lives as they are.  Yet the Holy Spirit has so much more to offer to you that you can do to spread the Good News.

Do not tell Me what you would like to do, rather tell Me you will be most content to do the most menial of tasks that I ask you to do.

What you think needs your heart and hand on, may not be what I feel you should be doing. 

Ask the Holy Spirit to continue to guide you away from serving your thoughts and interests and be only attentive to My Needs and Interests.

Climb down from your pedestal where you think you have a good view of the world and all that you can/could fix in it. 

Ask to be brought very low, so that you can look to Me and see what I want you to do.

We become blinded sometimes depending on our vantage point from which we perceive the world.

Ask for the vision to look to Me, not the vision to look at the world from a higher vantage point.  Then most of what you see is beneath you and you are greater than most of what you see!

So Look to Me.  Seek what I want for you in your life.  Seek all that the Holy Spirit wants to infuse in you more and more each day.

Just call on the Holy Spirit.  “Come Holy Spirit.”

“Come Holy Spirit fill the hearts of Your faithful and enkindle in us the Fire of your Love.”

“Come Holy Spirit, come by means of the Most Blessed Virgin Mary, your well-beloved spouse.”

You can say any one, or all 3, or make one up for yourself.  But “order” the Holy Spirit to come --- not at your bidding as a commander would do, but as one solemnly seeking the richness of Graces I have for you.

“Come Holy Spirit, Come.”

See what this opens your heart to. 

See the Fire that comes with each of His Graces.  He will set you on Fire to the Will of God and to shun all else that is not the Will of God.

“Come Holy Spirit, Come.”

Expect to be set Afire if you heart is asking in a loving desire.  If I detect you are asking for your own good and glory then I will kindly not come, to save you from the sin of pride and self-glory.

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.

My Unforgiveness causes True Hurt to me!

#385  Thurs. May 21/15,  11:30am, at home  

Come near My People and listen to My Voice.

I want to proclaim to you the Greatness of My Love.

My Forgiveness matches My Love so don’t offer your forgiveness unless you also offer My Love.

Do you understand that I want to be first and foremost in a person’s life not because I need the admiration but because they need Me to truly survive and grow and love and forgive?

So do not presume that when you say “I forgive you” that this is all the other needs to hear.  You are human and very limited in the amount and degree of Forgiveness you can offer.  I am not.  So let them know it is not your forgiveness they need to hear but the awesome Forgiveness of the Lord.

Our souls will not be secure until they are secure in Me.  So your offering of forgiveness is a kindness I offer to you to extend, but do not let that be the ultimate that the person hears.  They might not like to hear or be ready to hear that I Forgive them, but let them know it anyway.

“I forgive you, but more importantly, God has Forgiven you.”

You must raise your gift of forgiveness to the Higher Power who is the origin of ALL Forgiveness.

It is not your soul power alone to extend forgiveness.  It belongs to the Lord.

Now you can’t say “The Lord Forgives you, but I can’t.”   NO, NO, NO.

What kind of gift is that?  How can you say that I, the Lord, Forgives when you are not willing to follow My Example?

You are either one of My Followers or you are not.  It is as simple as that.

If you are not willing to walk in My Forgiveness Footsteps, then you are not a follower of Mine. 

I want all of you very clear on that. 

In one instance you cannot say “I am a follower of Jesus,” then in the next instance not be continually offering Forgiveness.  They do not abide together.

Have you forgiven those whom you perceive have done wrong to you?

You don’t even have to tell them, but you must tell Me most sincerely that you forgive the person who has slighted you.

I want you so tied to Forgiveness that it becomes second nature to you.  That once you feel offended you rush into My Most Sacred Heart and Forgive the person.

The really interesting thing is that you should not wander into un-forgiveness in the first place.

Do you see how the evil one attracts us to feel sorry for ourselves and easily offers un-forgiveness as his balm to your hurting self.

When we are bitter we are unforgiving.  Did you know that?

When you are angry, are you forgiving or unforgiving?

Do you see the damage it does to your soul?

Have you told your soul that it needs to live in forgiveness to be whole and happy?

And it can live in forgiveness when your soul turns its back on feeling sorry for itself.

Living in Forgiveness does not mean you are always offering forgiveness for this or that slight.  It means you never take on un-forgiveness as a companion.  The least hint of un-forgiveness, you rush into My Most Sacred Heart and abide gently there where Forgiveness is Full and Complete.

Living in Forgiveness is a state of your soul.  It does not look for or detect slights!

Interesting eh?

It is like wearing sunscreen all the time.  The sun’s rays bounce off of you and do little harm to your body.

So lather on Forgiveness which protects you from absorbing slights or hurts or anger, thus letting you live in constant Forgiveness.

Now it is not as easy as putting on sunscreen because often we miss spots on our body here and there where the bad rays can get through.

Seek to live in Forgiveness.  Seek it constantly.  Do not let any barbs or arrows break through this fortification of Forgiveness.

Do not let your mind or body lead you into un-forgiveness.  Let your soul lead them to Forgiveness always.

People cannot disturb your soul’s Forgiveness unless you allow your human nature to dominate your spiritual nature.

Now I do not tell you this is easy to pursue and maintain.  But I do tell you that it is worth all your effort to endeavor to pursue and maintain Forgiveness.

Can you imagine the even keel of your body and soul if you made this effort. Make it part of a delightful adventure.  You want to delight your body and soul to this daily experience.

How much better our body and soul are when we live in the Forgiveness mode.

Besides living in it, open your heart to receive more and more of it from Me.  Each circumstance that arises tell Me you want more and more of My Forgiveness – to strengthen your soul from attack and also to free your soul to realize how much I have Forgiven you.

Remember, always remember, My Forgiveness holds all the Power and Glory of Heaven.  Seek it often and with great joy.

(The Lord revealed to me the following at church May 21/15, 4pm)

--- that it is not the hurt that the other has inflicted on me by what they have said or done 

The real hurt in my heart is caused by my un-forgiveness of that person!

So when I say that so and so has hurt me, it is not true!  It is my un-forgiveness of this hurt (real or perceived) that causes the true hurt!  My un-forgiveness gives life to hurt feelings and feeds them and allows them to fester and grow and accumulate and steer me in the ways God does not want me to go.

Thank You God, Praise You God, for revealing this to us.
