(Surrender --- again and again)

How I want My People whole and happy.

Do not squander a moment living outside My Love.

Let Me sustain you this day.  

Do not harbor any resentment or anger.  

Do not be sad or distraught over such and such.

Run to immerse yourself in My Divine Love.

If I asked you what you needed right now, would you say “You, Jesus.”  

Or would some other thing innocently replace Me?  It is even thinking these slight, yet huge changes that will bring you closer to Me.

“I need a sweater”, “I need to get my license”, “I need a hair-cut.”

They seem slight and innocent.  And they are not harmful in themselves.  

However, if we don’t realize that all we need is Jesus, then we are always seeking something --- usually a material need – and allow that to rule our day.

So if I ask you what you need --- what will be your answer?  

Will it fall on the human level of life or will it fall on the spiritual plane of life?

It is a good check point.  

If you are going through your day ‘needing’ to do this or that, are you spending the same effort and time to need to be with Me?

This helps you measure your day.  

“How will I know Lord if I am giving You enough of me?”

Surrender each human need you have to Me, with thanks.

Surrender the fact that you need to go get some groceries.

Surrender the fact that you need to pick up a friend for an appointment.

I know I have told you to surrender each new, holy day to Me, but I ask you to keep in the surrendering mode, thought, throughout the day.

Otherwise it is like saying a Hail Mary at the start of your day and then saying no more till you go to bed.

Every small surrender brings you immediately into My Presence.  

What I mean is that I am always present to you, but during your busy day you may not be stepping aside to be present with Me  ---  not out of meanness, a lack of respect, but rather it becomes disconnected.  

Your on-ging surrender continues to keep you connected to Me.  Like you do not want to let Me out of your sight.

Have you surrendered yourself to Me just sitting in this chapel?

Have you surrendered the paper & pen, the book itself to Me?

You ask “Why should I surrender Your Words to You, Lord?”   Because it is another part of you that I want.

Surrender the fan and the air from the fan to Me.  They are part of your day so surrender them to Me.

Surrender all the things that take you through your day, --- the car, your feet, shoes, the pew you sit on, the candles that announce My Presence, the rosary beads, the windows that light the chapel.

These are all material things that I have provided to you to see you through your day, so don’t hesitate to surrender them to Me in gratitude.

Like you may not be able to stand for some time in My Presence without feeling weary, yet you can sit in the pew with lots of time and energy to adore Me.

I have allowed things “to be” to see you through your day.

Surrender them to Me in grateful thanks.

When you offer Me something, usually it is of your choosing and of your creation.

When you surrender the same things to Me you are acknowledging that you have had no creative power over them and you really are only surrendering them, giving them back to, the rightful Creator of ALL.

Even the prayers you say have been given to you, even made-up ones.  Surrender the gift of prayer to Me.

Surrender the gift of sharing with Me your deepest hurts.

I am so present in ALL of your life and I just encourage you to realize this and make good use of it for your soul’s sake.

(Offer Me your pride and ego!)

I yearn to speak to My People’s souls.

They get distraught by other’s comments. How we get dragged away from the Love Center by a mere gesture, lack of a nod, a correction!

Isn’t it great how I give you these opportunities so you can be taught by Me once again.

Let these happenings get your soul to run to Me, your Love Center.

Do not let them throw you off course.  

Do not let them boil up inside you where, just a few minutes ago, you felt good and peaceful.  

Come quickly to Me not looking for retribution, a good answer, a comeback, an explanation, a one-up.

Come to Me seeking most meekly the answer as to why you have allowed the other, a mere mortal, deprive you of My All Presence.

If you are walking with Me, no matter what they say, do, infer, you cannot be dragged back to your human emotions allowing them to take root, rather than Me taking root in you.  

When you see this taking place, thank Me for revealing to you that you have not surrendered these deep emotions to Me today.  

It is easy first thing in the morning to surrender all to Me when nothing has disturbed your peace.

But please, please, please anytime during the day if someone rocks your peaceful boat, surrender this very moment to Me and ask Me to still the waters of embarrassment, self-worth, ego.

Very few of us like to be corrected.  

So tell Me now that even these small arrows you surrender to Me.  

Really it is not the “instant hurt” or upset that you feel, rather it is the ingrained angst in your soul that has shown itself again and this is what I want you to surrender to Me. 

It seems oh so nice when we can offer the pain of insult to the Lord as part of our suffering offering.  

But really, really, I want you to surrender the part of you that even takes in this comment as a hurt, to Me.  

It goes deeper than your hurts – your perceived hurts.  It goes to places you have not surrendered to Me.  

You feel hurt.  Why?

It is only pride and ego!!!

So do you see that is what I want you to offer to Me --- your pride and ego!

Thank Me, Thank Me, Thank Me for revealing this to you today.

Do not offer Me the hurt, slighted you!  

Do offer Me the pride and ego that wants to wallow in hurt and slights!

Leap for Joy at this new-found insight!

Thank God for this dear new holy day and be most gracious for My Guiding Words.

 #380  May 2/15, 10:40am,  Lord Nelson Hotel, before the Blessed Sacrament, Women’s weekend of Grace. 

(Adore, Adore, Adore)

I come to enlighten and lighten My People.

You see the more you know of Me and know Me the lighter will be your burden.

Do not refrain from adoring.  Take every opportunity to adore Me.  

You may not be before the Blessed Sacrament, but you can still adore Me.

Adore Me in the air you breathe.

Adore Me in the communion you receive.

Adore Me in the sunshine and rain.

Adore Me in your husband, wife, children, grandchildren, friends, mere strangers.  

Adore Me.

You can adore Me in others by simply saying My Name “Jesus” whenever you see them.  

Plunk Me in them before you.  Endeavor to see Me first, and proclaim Me first in them to your soul.

It may take time but never hesitate to start.  It will be so beneficial to both your souls.

What a light it will shine in yours and what a light it will bring to theirs.

I tell you this most solemnly so do not hesitate to believe and believe it has come from Me.

Know though, you may never fully know the power in saying My Name.  

Even if you cannot comprehend all the power in it, use it just the same.

You have heard it many times being abused, now I commend to you to use it for good, the good of your soul and others’ souls.

I want to unleash My Power on the World, in the World, all over the World and I can do this with your help as you bring Jesus more into your soul and the souls of others.

You do not have to preach My Name, more than that.  

I want you to say My Name, believe in My Name, believe in the Power of My Name.  

For then you will use it much more often for the good of your soul and the souls of others. 

Look at Me in the monstrance.  Do you see great power and majesty in this small wafer?

Yet that is not the real question is it?  

Do you believe in the great power and majesty contained in this small wafer?  

Do you believe it is all Me?  

Does not represent Me, but rather, take it deeper and higher --- it is Me.

But we want to see eyes, hair, hands, mouth, body (human), etc.  

You see how our senses have blinded us to Jesus?  To seeing Jesus?

Not that your physical senses are bad.  No, No, No.

But I want you to go so much farther than your physical senses when you come before Me in the Blessed Sacrament.

Don’t look for Me.  

Believe it is Me!  

Trust it is Me.  

Love the Me that is with you in All of Me.  

Let your soul translate the wafer to the Real Me.  Allow your soul to see Me.

Come soul, let Me lead you to a deeper insight as to who I am.  

Come precious soul and do not tarry to see your Creator, Saviour, Sustainer. 

Allow Me to draw you deeper and deeper into My Presence.

Adore, Adore, Adore.

REVIEW -- #379 from April 28, 2015

(Ache for the Cup of Courage)

Oh Holy One, Oh Immortal One!

How do you see Me?  Are these some of the titles you would give Me?  

Am I also your dear, dear friend, a constant companion, a buddy, a friend, a counsellor, a listener, a Saviour?

So when you speak of Me, are you sure that I am not around so I won’t hear the blasphemy you will say about Me? 

What I mean is, do you always speak well of Me and My Creation and My Created Ones?  If you don’t, are you hoping I am not near-by listening to what you say?

Can you imagine all that reaches My Ears that is not said in praise and thanks for My Creation, for My Created Ones?

We seem to think that there are certain times we can talk nasty or judgmental and I won‘t hear!

Almost as if I have said to you that this kind of word or behavior is quite acceptable to Me.

So you do not like that tight reign I have on you.  You would like to be a bit freer to express yourself at times as you see fit.

Do you see how you also forgive yourself for your words and behavior which you realize are not in accord with My Plans for you, yet you feel they are justified no matter what I have said.

There is such conflict in your life isn’t there.  

You make the decisions on what is right and wrong to say and do, you decide to forgive yourself because of your human weakness.  

Then you turn to Me to pray as if all was aok and good.

What confusion for your soul that knows what is right and wrong, knows who Created it with this knowledge, yet is being led astray by your words and behavior.

Have great pity on your precious soul that aches to lead you to the fullness of Wisdom and Understanding.  

How we justify our words and behavior before the Lord!

What courage it takes to defy the Giver and Taker of Life.  

Yet is it really courage or just foolish obstinacy?

It takes more courage to do what is right because it flies in the face of all that is being done wrong.

Who does not want to be part of the crowd?  To fit in, to be liked, admired, chosen, adored.

It takes great courage to step away wanting nothing to satisfy yourself, and to give all of yourself to Me and My Plans for you.

Come sip from the cup of courage.  

Each day ask Me to let you sip from this cup.  

Ache to drain it dry.  

Ache to serve only Me and let all of you fall away – fall into My Arms, My Plans, My Love.  

Do not cling to you and your needs.  

Hold fast to the cup of courage that will sustain you with the Graces to choose Me above all else.  

It is not easy to choose Me above all else.  

Yet I can give you all the Graces you need to do this.  

And again you have to ache and beg for these Graces. 

Not beg as a sad pleading, but rather as an aching pleading, a desirous pleading, a knowledgeable pleading.

It is a pleasant aching because you know that the answer will be so rewarding.

Come aside and ache for the cup of courage that will sustain your soul to make good choices and not to be seeking to satisfy the material part of you.

You will only be fully human when we allow our souls to direct the actions of our body for our good and the Good of God’s Kingdom.

It is so often that our bodies and souls are working in conflict with each other.  

Can you imagine what can be accomplished if we let our body and soul work in marvelous harmony one with the other?

REVIEW -- #378 from April 27, 2015

 #378  April 27/15, 10:15am.  St. Theresa’s, before Blessed Sacrament

(Simply say “Jesus”)

Kneel and thank Me for this day.

Now let Me speak to your heart.  Is it open and ready to hear My Voice?  

Do not let any other voice nag at you and get you down. 

If I am speaking to you, I will only bring peace to your body and soul.  

Now you might not like the message --- perhaps it is ‘go to confession”, or “talk less, hold your tongue more”,  “do not repeat such and such, avoid gossip.”  

But you see these are all cleansing Words.  These Words may disturb you, but they are to disturb you for your own good.

Now the words of the evil one will take you to feeling sorry for yourself, to bitterness, to meanness, to nastiness, to gossip.  

None, I repeat, None of these words will ever bring peace to your body and soul.

Hear My Words. 

Beg to hear My Words.  

Beg Me to lead you in My Words.  

Ask Me to instruct you through My Words.

When you make good choices --- you have heard My Voice.  That is the simple measuring tool.

You yourself know that when you get angry or disappointed, you are not listening to and hearing and abiding by My Words.  

So you know right there and then whom you are following --- whom you are letting lead you!!!  Scary, right?

Sure certain times you are going to get angry, it is a natural human reaction.  But are you then determined to stay in, dwell in, bathe in that anger no matter what?

When you get angry that is when the devil is ready to step in, because he knows this is a weakness and suggests that you have every right to stay angry.

But you have a choice and you know it.  

You can remain in anger, wallowing in anger or you can run with it to Me and ask Me to show you what to do with it.

Just if you even say My Name “Jesus”, not in anger, but in the midst of your anger.  

Say it gently in the midst of your anger.  

Say it to get My Attention beseeching Me to help you in this circumstance.  

Make Me your escape route from this anger.

Test it out right now!  “What”, you say, “I am not angry” But maybe just a little set off??  

So practice saying My Name “Jesus” gently.

It does work.  It does reduce your blood pressure.

But that is not the reason for doing it, because again it is to satisfy a need of yours!

You want to practice saying “Jesus” for the health and well-being of your dear precious soul.

You want your soul to hear this Word more than any other of the busy words you say daily. 

It is the only Word that truly nourishes your soul.

If you say it with the intent of reducing your blood pressure and your bp does not go down, then you will think it is a futile exercise and give up saying My Name “Jesus”.  

But I tell you now in all Truth it is the medicine for your dear precious soul that does not react to any other drug.  

Sure it can be dragged down by what we may say and do that is not in accord with the Lord.  

But it can only be healed and made healthier daily by My Name “Jesus.”

So keep this medicine handy.  When you feel your soul slipping and tending to be led by the evil one – say My Name – over and over if you must.  

And don’t think you have to wait till your soul starts to wander off.  

Make it a habit of saying My Name “Jesus” often and more than often.

Your soul is in a race to win the coveted prize of eternity with Our Lord.   

So it certainly needs the refreshing word “Jesus” planted in it daily.  

See what grows from within us when we plant the seed of Jesus in our soul often.  It can only bring forth eternal sustenance.

We need “Jesus” in our lives.  He is the fullness.  

He does not have to hear what we need or want, just say His Name “Jesus”.  It contains ALL.

The less words we use in explanation, the more time and opportunity we have to simply say His Name “Jesus”.
