the Graces of the knowledge of Forever

#972   Tues. Apr. 23/19 7:30am,  at home (black/white book)   (Graces of Knowledge of forever)

Fly far from Me.   Yet, I must tell you, you can’t fly far from Me.  There is no escaping Me!

You can’t get rid of Me.  What great consolation!

But, I tell you that you can use a lot of your energy trying to get away from Me.  But what for?

I want you to know about Me.  Then know Me as a Dear, True Friend.   Do you see how we all want to be loved?

So many times we will say that.  “Nobody loves me.”  And in your heart that may be your feeling.  Yet, I tell you that “I Love you”, yet for some that is not enough.

Do not pass up on My Love.  It is a huge saving Grace.

It saves you from having to seek another source of Love.  And all the other sources of love are finite.  You want a Love to last forever.

But, perhaps you do not believe in forever --- and that is ok.  Because if you do not know Me then how can you believe in forever?

So the problem is --- do you believe in Me?  Then if you do, it is easy to believe in My Love and Forever.

So if you are doubting My Love and Forever, perhaps you need to ask for the Graces of the Knowledge of Forever.

It is hard for the human mind to comprehend Forever, yet I tell you I have Graces for that.

Yes, I won’t swamp you immediately with all the Forever Facts --- your head could not take it.

But the Grace will allow you to accept Me into your heart so I can gradually open your heart to Forever.

Oh, have you surrendered your heart and soul to Me today?  Have you surrendered all to Me and My Will for you this day?

Then you have removed the clutter that you don’t need in your heart which will be then more open to the Forever Graces.

Lord, Lord Jesus, please give me all the Graces I need for just this day.  Not yesterdays or tomorrows.  I want Your Presence fully in my life this day.

It takes us back to the Grace of Now!!  Such an invaluable Grace, because if you wat to Be with Me Now, I can do that for you.

Yet, you have to want it and not be running ahead and preparing the next hour and then the next hour.

Do you know what I mean?  I surely hope you do.

God will Bless your day today --- LET HIM!

a Great Easter Gift!

#971  Holy Sat. Apr. 20/19,  Shannon’s place early morning Merrickville

Awake and do not disregard any moment of this new, holy day.

What do I mean you ask?  Well do not try to wander into the past or move into the future.  That is how you take away from the value of each moment I give you this day. 

We never think that we devalue time, but we do!

We do not always live in the Now, so we end up wasting the time I have given you, in the Now!

So, value each moment in this day as a gift from God.  Do not let your mind wander – to try to fix things from the past nor to worry about the future.

What a Great Easter Gift I give to each of you.
What a great opportunity to strengthen our relationship!

The more time you spend being present with Me in the Now, the healthier your soul will be

Do not forsake this invaluable time with Me for something that you alone can’t fix.  No matter how hard you try!

And the frustration of trying with no success takes you further and further from Me.

It is not a sin, but leaves your soul very susceptible to the evil one so that he can move in and make his mark on your soul.

So the lesson is, the more time you spend with Me the less time you spend with him.

It is so subtle yet a profound message for the health and well-being of your soul.

My Limits are Unlimited

#970  Holy Thurs. April 18/19   11:15pm , Adoration before the Blessed Sacrament – St. Anne’s church Merrickville.   (apr. missal)   (My Limits are Unlimited)

Dearest People of Mine.  Come to adore Me.  Remember, I Call you all the time, so make haste to come. 

I do not Call the holy more often than I Call the unholy.  So you see you have no excuse whatsoever not to come. 

I have said it before.  I will not accept excuses. 

Not even if you feel you will be late, or you aren’t sure what to say or do.

I tell you, make haste to come and adore Me.

Again, I Love to see you before the Blessed Sacrament, yet I will be Present to you whenever you hear My Call and step aside from the busy world and take time to BE with Me. 

Do not turn your back on such a worthy objective.  Do you realize the Blessings that flow from such an encounter?  You can’t possibly because you are not here to learn about those, but to learn how much I really, really Love you. 

Do not look for the Blessings but, rest assured, if I have said it then it is so.

We spend so much foolish time trying, at times, to figure things out. 
What Wisdom when you realize that you do not have to figure Me out.

You just have to BE with Me. 

Now, does that not take a lot of worry off your shoulders?  It should because that is the Grace that comes from Being with Me. 

You do not have to figure out the Trinity. 
You do not have to figure out the Multitude of Graces I have in store for you. 

All you ‘need’ to realize, and it is really such a small realization, yet HUGE in your spiritual journey, that to BE with Me and not to worry about this or that is a Blessing beyond measure.

You can’t measure Me, or confine Me to a place, a space, a time.  My Limits are Unlimited.

So again, make haste not to spend time figuring Me out, but rather spend time Being with Me. 

If that is really what you want, then I can make it happen. 

And don’t even bother asking Me how I will make that happen.  If and when you believe in Me, none of these questions will play any part in us spending time together. 

Spend your time with Me, not trying to figure Me or the World, or a person, or a thing out.

Do not spend time with Me in your head, but rather spend time with Me in your heart.

in the Right direction

# 969  Mon. Apr. 15/19    6:45am,  Shans   (in the Right direction)

Do not evaluate today on the past. Ask Me to step in each moment and lead you. 

Lead you in the right direction.  See, there is the Fullness of being led.

Let Me, ask Me to lead you in the right direction.  Do you see what I mean?

You surrender your day to Me, yet you may fail to ask Me through the day to lead you in the right direction.

You see, we forget the Presence of the Lord that we have asked for in our lives, yet fail to always confirm.

Before you open your mouth on any topic, ask Me to lead your tongue in the right direction.  I am able to and most willing to do so.

I tell you this reference to Me more often will keep you closer to Me and less close to the ‘you’ that does not always act out of goodness and kindness.

Do not be ashamed to ask for My Guidance, My Love. 

I am with you always and thus most willing to give you a Fuller day in My Presence.

You say you know I am with you always.  But if you do not reference Me more often, then you do not seem to be practicing this fact --- that I am with you ALWAYS. 

Do you see what I mean?

hand in Hand with God

#968   Sat. April 13/19, 5:50am, at shans        in april missal  (hand in hand with God)

Hush, the day starts but not all have awakened.  But for those who have, let Me share Words with you.  The others can heed this later, and the Words will also impact them.

Your God Loves you.  Now, I am not the God of money, but rather of your heart.  I am the God of Love.  The God who created you from nothing. 

From nothing that you gave Me to Create you.  You were not even creating yourself, so there is nothing around you that you can create that I have not Created first. 

You may be the first person to have developed it, yet all honor and glory are Mine because I Created it before you invented it. 

What a marvelous benchmark for you.  Thus it keeps your pride in check because if I was not there First, Creating it, you could not have thought it up or invented it.  All honor and glory belong to the Creator.  If it weren’t, you could not have invented it.

It is so reassuring that you are not God and you cannot out do God.

So, can you imagine what force you would have if you worked with God and not just be trying to solve things on your own – from solving the tiniest problem to the biggest mystery.

Why work on a project for years in frustration? Rather work on a problem for years with Me. 

I do not assure you that working with Me gets you there faster, but it gets you there in one piece of body and soul.

Do you see what I mean?

In one case frustration grows and grows.  In the other, frustration does not even enter the picture. 

You will be most content to work hand and hand with God so that all will happen in His Good Time and not yours.

Ahh, what a blessing in your life when we first and finally learn that.

What a calming in your life when you learn to work alongside God, letting Him lead you. If you bring Him on board what a blessing in your soul, what a solid foundation you are working on. 

Do not dispel this as a crazy thought, but a most sound suggestion from the Creator Himself. 

He does not want you floundering in life. He so wants you fulfilled. 

Go this day with Christ.  Let Him fulfill Himself in you.

First and Foremost

#967  Thurs. Apr. 4/19     8am,   at home

Don’t put Me aside for another.  Take on more of Me so the other will be more secure in you if that is My Will.

Like, will you forsake your hour of adoration to do something else?

Now, the something else may be good and nice to do, yet it will be done even better when you have placed Me first and foremost.

powerful Words

#966  Wed. Apr. 3/19,   5am,   at home

You never have to wonder what My Message is.  It will only be divulged as you write My Words.

My main reason for calling you to write is to express to the World and to you, each of you, My Love for you.

You have never heard these Words before.  Or have you?  Then why do I Lovingly repeat them? 

Because I do not want you to have to think them up each day, but to hear them from Me each day affirming My Love Words to you, to each of you.

You see you might be having a sad day or a bad day and these affirming Words of Mine “I Love you” may never pop into your heart or mind.

So the more I say them and the more often I say them and the more often you read them, then all will be well for your soul.

When we feel sad do we affirm “But God Loves me.”

When we are having a bad day at work or at home do we repeat and repeat “God Loves me”?

So that is why I say it often so that you will have a chance to hear it often --- from Me, not from you, but from Me.

Sure I want you to say “Jesus Loves me.”

But how much more powerful when you read these Words, from Me “Jesus, I, Love you.”

It comes from a heart more Loving and Trusting than yours.

You see so that is why you ask to be perfect as the Father is perfect so you can say to yourself “Jesus Loves me” with more Love, Trust and Conviction in your heart.

So ask Me for the Grace to Trust and Love more and I shall pour it over you. 

When you ask for these Graces, and others, do you see how this expresses to Me that you are getting and living in the message of God Loves me.

If you do not ask for these Graces of course you then will find it hard to believe in Me, to believe in My Words for you “Jesus Loves me.”

small, small stuff

#965  Tues. Apr. 2/19     5:30am,   at home    (small, small stuff)

The sun has not risen yet.  All is still, quiet.  So who do you welcome into your heart?

The person you cannot see.  Yet, this person has given you the ability to see!

Why do we struggle with ourselves? 
Why do we throw up barriers?
Why do we feel we have to do this or that?

Have we not thrown ourselves into the arms of our Creator and given up all our plans for His Plans, for us?

What is binding you right now? 
What do you think I want you to give over to Me?

EVERYTHING!

I do not care how small it is.  You see, we can see the BIG stuff that we have to hand over, but so often the little, little, little stuff we don’t think of.

So, I tell you, tell Me to help you with the small, small stuff.   You can even call it that small, small stuff that still clutters a heart that wants to serve only Me.

I am most patient, yet you have to ask Me to declutter ALL.

You may not even know the name of what the clutter is.  Yet ask Me to show you and I will and, along with your free will to allow Me to help you declutter, we will get the job done faster and faster. 

I will help you to renounce things that only inhibit Me from entering into your heart and making it My Home.

Sound ok?

# 964  Sat. Mar. 31/19,   3:45pm,  St. Theresa’s, before the Blessed Sacrament
(Sound ok?)

Come all of you who wish to follow Me.  Let Me lead you to green pastures. 

You may have been craving green pastures for a long time.  Yet it doesn’t matter now because I am here in your life and you have welcomed Me into your life so the past no longer plays on your heart to drag you away from Me.

What great rejoicing from your soul!  You are letting Me lead you and I never, ever mislead. 

You will be filled with wisdom and understanding. 
You shall not falter as long as you keep Me as your Center.

I am most True to My Word.
I will not cast you aside. 

I will embrace you gently and tell you how very much I Treasure you. 

You may never have realized your value before.  But I tell you that you are Priceless.  You are so worthy of My Love and Attention.

Do not hesitate to accept what I am telling you.  I DO NOT LIE.

No, I do not make mistakes ever.  I want you to serve Me right NOW.  Just as you are. 

Do not go off trying to do great things.  Stay close to Me and you will accomplish all I will set before you. 

Do not compare yourself with another.  NO, NO, NO.

They may get their names in lights.  But perhaps that is not what I have in mind for you.  Sound OK?

Well, it is more than ok.  It is joyful service.  It is a time to relax and let go of your plans and tell Me that you will follow My Plans. 

It certainly reduces stress in you.  You have to plan nothing, just let Me lead you to a worthwhile endeavor --- following your precious Lord.

DARN

# 963  Tues. Mar.26/19   1:45 pm.   St. Theresa’s before the Blessed Sacrament
(DARN)
Come most willingly before Me. I am present for one and all to see and adore, to beseech, and to listen, to spread out your troubles, to thank Me.

I am here for ALL and will willingly serve ALL.

“What attitude do you need?” you ask. 

“What attitude do you bring with you?”  I ask.

Then let’s look at that attitude.  Is it a happy one, then I will rejoice with you.
Is it a sad one, then I shall grieve with you. 

I want to be your friend and companion in all circumstances.

You might say “Oh, I can’t go before the Lord when I am angry.”

And I ask you “Why can’t you come before Me when you are angry?”

Do not make that silly excuse!!

Yes, it is a silly excuse because if you are more angry than happy, you will not come before Me and lay it at My Feet.

Ah ha, I have caught you!   You can’t use any excuse ever for not coming before Me.

Does My Response bug you?  Well it should. 

So, do you want to debate it with Me?  I am here to hear your words.

Do you see what I want from you?  I want you to come to Me in ALL circumstances.

You can say, “Well there is no Blessed Sacrament exposed anywhere around me.”

I will answer, “Then go to your heart and tell Me you want to be before Me --- and I am there!

Really, there is no reason that you can give Me that will stop you from coming to speak with Me, adore Me, complain to Me.

The only thing keeping you from coming to Me is your free will that does not want to choose to come to Me.

But always, rest assured, I am with you!!   How frustrating!

You see, you can’t get away from Me.  And all the time you spend running away from Me, you still are recognizing Me, perhaps as the One you want to avoid.  But, all the same, you are recognizing Me. 

“I am going to avoid You, God, as much as I can.”   Oops you just spoke to God!

DARN!

I tell you, you have to intentionally avoid Me and in so doing, you are letting Me know that you know about Me!

Put ME first attitude

#962    Fri.  Mar.22/19   St. Theresa’s before the Blessed Sacrament.  (missal)

O Come abide in Me.  Come enjoy all the Love I have in store for you. 

You will not be able to tally how much Love I want to shower over you.  There is no counting when it comes to My Love for you.

Thank you for wanting to be with Me and wanting to receive more and more of My Love.

Do you see how I pour My Love all over people?  Those you do not know and those you know. 

Do not --- never, never, ever be jealous of the fact that I Love them as equally as I do you. 

I know they need the Full Power of My Love as you do.  No one can make it if they only receive a small piece of My Love.

My Love flows completely to each person, in its Fullest Strength, so the murderer gets as much as the saint. 

Some do not receive it because they are not open to it, while others who are open do receive it. However, they may not use it well or for long before they put themselves back at the center of their life.

It is a constant battle, but not a battle, rather a constant putting Me first attitude. 

You will see it slowly but surely that you tend to be receptive, then not so much.

When it is not ‘so much’ it is a great indication to you that you have jumped back onto center stage and left Me playing a minor role.

Now, please, please do not chastise yourself when this happens, but thank Me that you are now able to recognize when I am the Center of your life and when you are the center of your life. 

You cannot possibly fill yourself with the abundant Love that I can and will and want to.

you need My Graces

#961  thurs. Mar.21/19    10:05 pm,   at home

Crush all that does not lead to Me.  Sounds like harsh words,  but I want you to become very aware of what does and doesn’t bring you to Me.  And to be sure to stamp it out of your life.

If it is pornography – crush it, do not even give it a second in your life. 

There are certain things we have to crush, by the Grace of God.  So do not think you can rid yourself of some bad habit all on your own.

It becomes an addiction which places a strangle hold on you.  So you most certainly need My Graces to subject these wants and desires. 

You need more of Me in your life.  So bathe in knowing Me more.  Make every effort to heed and act on My Graces.

And do not feel you can control any addictions on your own.

Of course that is the argument that the devil presents “Oh, you can always stop this on your own power.”

Those who go to AA know the difference.  They know it is only God that shakes them free from the stronghold of liquor. 

I seem to be speaking of things you should know.  But there will be some readers who are addicted to gambling, pornography, drinking, drugs who feel they can kick the habit at any time on their own time and power.

Blessed is the person who realizes that they need God to help them get back on track and be the person He Created them to be. 

Here are my thoughts Lord

#960  Tues. Mar. 19/19    6:55am,    at home

Hush all that is going on in your mind first thing in the morning. 

Bring all the thoughts you think that rush through your head --- bring them all to Me.

You will see that this enables you to pray more, since, instead of reviewing your thoughts and going over them again, you make a prayer out of them.

“Here are my thoughts, Lord.”

So you see this brings you into conversation more with Me than yourself = prayer!

I do not want you to forget that I am in charge of it ALL!

Rest assured I am in charge of it all so give ‘it ALL’ to Me.

I am never overworked, upset, angry, frustrated.  I want you and your thoughts in My Most Sacred Heart.

“Here are my thoughts, Lord.”  Now, do not add “what shall I do with them?”  “How do You want me to take care of them?”

See, you have just said it “How do You want me to take care of them?”

Do you see that you bring them to Me asking Me to give them back to you, so you can take care of them!!!

No, No, No.

That is not the way to hand over your thoughts.

The only way to surrender any part of you is to give them to Me and leave ME to take care of them.

I will get back to you when I need you to act on them.  Otherwise do not fret.

I am in charge and I will see that ALL gets done in My Time, not yours.

Leap into

#958   Wed.  Mar. 13/19,   12:45 pm,  St. Theresa’s before the Blessed Sacrament --Missal

Leap out of yourself and into My Arms.  How often do we take a leap of Faith?  Not many times.  But a good measuring stick is how often will we do something that appears fearful to us?

So, leaping out of fear and into My Sacred Heart expresses to Me that you Trust in Me.  That you trust that I am in charge.

So, leap out of the fear of not being perfect; leap out of the fear of being ignored;  leap out of the fear of failure; leap out of the fear of being denied; leap out of the fear of being forgotten;  leap out of the fear of being unloved, unloveable.

Leap into My Arms, into My Most Sacred Heart.  Leap into Trust and Love. 

"NOW"

#957   Wed. Mar. 13/19,   7:10am  at home

Come and be My Faith Filled People.  Come and learn from Me for I am sweet and tender of Heart.

Come and experience the Will of the Father in My Life.

Come without hesitation or restraint.  NOW is the time to come.  So, you see, I give you this invite in every ‘now’ moment of your life.

How fortunate you are when you stay and live in the ‘now’ moment.  For if you are wishing for the future or reliving the past you are not in the ‘now’ moment and thus not able to hear My Call.

Don’t hesitate.  Come to Me ‘now’. 

There is no discussion on My part as to why you did not come before.  That is in the past and I want to be with you ‘now’. 

So, you see, you do not need any excuses!  Hard to believe eh? 

But, I will demand, require NO excuses!

Come to Me ‘now’.

thought the thought

#956   Sat. Mar. 9/19      7:10 am,    at home  (thought the thought)

Why do you wait for My Call?  Do you feel if you have surrendered your day that you will not act until I Call you into action?

And what does My Call sound like?

Rather than waiting for My Call, will you not just let Me lead you through the day?

Take credit for nothing.  That is, if you are telling Me that I can lead you, there is no direction in mind, soul or body that I have not brought to you.

For instance, “that was a good idea Margo.”  But, if you have surrendered ALL of you to Me, the credit for the idea goes to Me, not to you.

We think we have thought the thought.  But really not so.

Now if you have not surrendered all of you to Me, you will most definitely think that you thought that thought.

But, if you have surrendered ALL to Me, you will come to realize that I placed the thought in your head.

Now don’t ever presume that I place bad thoughts in your head.  I am the One who will help you rid yourself of the bad thoughts.

You will note that as you realize that I am leading you, you have allowed Me to inspire you in all sorts of ways.

You will gradually be most thankful for the thoughts I place in you that get you through the day.

Otherwise, guess to whom you give the credit for a good smart though – not Me, but yourself.

And this way of thinking only builds up your ego, and pride takes another step in to make you more self-centered than before.

So, do not hesitate to credit Me with all your thoughts.  First to impart the good ones that will see you through your day.  Second, as a Mighty Helper to dispel any thoughts that lead you from Me to yourself.

With Grace, I inspire you to do good and to avoid evil.

So, just for this day as starters, thank Me for giving you good thoughts that lead you through a healthier day; and thank Me, by My Grace, for casting out the bad thoughts which lead you from Me. 

Again, you are always in a grateful mode.   Thank you, thank you Lord for all You do for me. 

Sacrifice, Sacrament

#955,   thurs.   Mar. 7/19,   12 noon    SMU chapel before the Blessed Sacrament
(Sacrifice, Sacrament)

O Sacrament Most Holy.  How often do we say that?

How often does it mean anything significant in our souls?

It should stir your soul because the Sacrament is the Sacrifice.

We would not have the Sacrament if we did not have the Sacrifice!

So, O Most Holy Sacrifice!

Strengthen you

#954  Thurs. Mar 7/19     5:45 am,  at home    (strengthen you in all situations)

I Call, you come.  Thank you for rising to My Call without hesitation, and knowing that I have something to say or I would not have nudged you. 

My Feelings for My People have not changed.  “I Love you.”

Notice there is no past or future tense in My telling you I Love you.

Your soul can only take it in right now and so that is why for every Now Moment I repeat “I Love you.”

Come closer and see what I mean.  I give you Love that conquers all addiction, sadness, poverty.

I give you Love that is not meant to solve as much as to strengthen you in ALL situations.

Do not be charmed by the one who promises to make all things pretty.

I promise that with My Love, ALL things can be accepted and endured.
