to the God level

#1107  Fri. Feb. 21/20   7am        at home

Cheer up.  I am with you!  But then you say “what have I to be cherry about?  All has gone wrong in my life.”

But I am in your life and thus not ALL has gone wrong! 

Name Me one blessing so far in your life this day.

I don’t care if you have to look for it, but just find it and name it. 

Could it be that you can see?   Then be grateful for this blessing, -- or that the rain so badly needed is here, then thank Me for it, -- that you can walk to the front door and get your mail, thank Me for it -- that you have shoes or a warm coat or a dear friend who is helping you through the situation – then thank Me for it.

Do not become blind to all the riches and blessings you have even in the midst of catastrophe or sadness or disappointment.

This is so, so essential because all of these blessings whether big or small are Me in your life.

A loved one dies suddenly – thank Me for the love you have had for them,  or for the neighbour who provides a hot meal, or the funeral people who are so kind and understanding.

Do not only thank them, but thank Me for them who provide such loving comfort in the midst of sadness.

Do not let your thanks stop at the human level. 

Let it travel to the God Level. These people would not be so kind if they had not received this kindness from Me!

Maker of your soul

#1106  Thurs.  Feb. 20/19   3:30pm,  St. Theresa’s before the Blessed Sacrament

I call you to come --- whether you have a beef with Me, or are cross, or upset, or just feeling ho-hum.

Come to Me and share all the details with Me.

I want to hear you --- your story counts.  I am interested in the smallest detail of you.

Tell Me all that has you bound up so that I can undo your bindings, loosen the grasp of frustration, anger, gossip, hatred, judgment.

When your heart is tied up by these and more, then it cannot worship Me with thanks and prayers.

You want to blame Me for all that has happened to you and I do not mind.

But if you do not bring it ALL to Me how can I help you make sense of it ALL?

So, just come.  You don’t have to be in your Sunday best or all smiles and loving.

Bring Me your brokenness.  Bring Me your tears.  Bring Me ALL that has you so tied up that you can’t see beyond yourself.

There is Someone who has the Power to release you from ALL your negative emotions.

And may I gently tell you that you are not the One to fix yourself.

You have to take your soul to the Maker of your soul. 

free will choices

#1105   Thurs.  Feb. 20/19   7am,   at home

Nothing, nothing  misses My Eye.   I Know all, I See all, I Love, I Save.

Did you think that I only know and see a little of this or that?

I have Created humans in My Image and Likeness. 

Yet I have bestowed on them Free Will.

So they can make decisions and move freely through creation using the Wisdom and Knowledge I impart.

And so when someone does something wrong it is not because I Created them to do wrong.  It is because they have freely chosen.

Just as they freely choose to do good, they, through their free will, are able to choose evil.

What I have is sufficient

#1104  Tues. Feb. 18/20,   1:10pm,   St. Theresa’s before the Blessed Sacrament

Write these Words “I Love you.”

Do they mean anything different to you today than yesterday?

Do My Words reach deeper each time I utter them or are they just on the surface each time?

Have you asked Me to open your heart so the Words can get deeper and deeper into your soul?

Why do you hesitate to do this?

Are you content to live on the surface of your life and not let Me take you deeper and deeper into the spiritual life?

Now, that is an interesting question. 

Are you happy to just live on the surface spiritually?

Then, if so, you can have no relationship with Me because I want to journey deeper and deeper with you.     

However, if you say you have heard the “I Love you” so many times and don’t need to hear it anymore, then I will step back.

What are you afraid of?   What do you not want Me to reveal to you?  Have you had enough of Me and now want Me to lay low and leave you along?

Answer these questions honestly because, you see, I do know your heart.

Do you feel you know all you need to know about Me and now will get on with the rest of your life?

How do you get on with the rest of your life without more and more of Me in it?

Is 10% of knowing Me sufficient?
Is 20% or 30%?

Do you not want to have as much of Me as I am most willing to offer you?

I do not stop Giving.  But you seem to have shut down to receiving.

Am I really only a bit of your life or a 1/3 of your life or ½ of your life?


Tell Me when you want Me to stop, and above all tell Me why.

When do you feel you don’t need Me?
When do you feel it is none of My business?

Please say it out loud “I don’t need more of you Jesus.  What I do have is sufficient.”

Sufficient for what I ask you?

Am I getting in the way of your plans? 

But unless your plans are to follow Me, they will not lead you well anywhere.

I think what happens is that we think all the great and good thing that happen are of our own making.

Do you take ownership of the good things that happen to you?

And then deny ownership of anything else that you don’t like and point to God as the  One who let you down?

You have a lot to contemplate in this dictation.  I look forward to hearing your responses.

I will be waiting --- Patiently, Lovingly, Mercifully.

Even the worst tragedy

#1103   Tues.  Feb. 18/20,    7am,   at home.

How good it is to greet My People again.

How I want them to know that I am always thinking of them.

Did you think I had forgotten for an instant?

Sometimes tragedy in your life looks like I stepped out awhile.

Yet I have not and I did not.

Even the worst tragedy, rush instantly into My Most Sacred Heart to find compassion, and the strength to get through. 

I want you so, so secure and familiar with My Most Sacred Heart that you will not hesitate to run and abide there.

We do not even do it when circumstances that aren’t that personal to us we let bother us.

So start with these circumstances.  When you see tragic heart breaking news do not stand alone in it or mull it over or get disappointed or let it drag you down.

That is what the devil wants.  He does not want you confiding in Me, finding shelter in Me.  He wants you wallowing and questioning.

I, on the other hand, invite you to the safety of My Most Sacred Heart.  I want you there so that My Love can burn away all the hurt in your heart.

My Love can and My Love will.  I may not be able to erase the tragedy but the good that will come out of it is that you will be closer to Me as we walk through it together.
