1319. With wisdom comes the ability to see the Truth

The Book of Truth:
Wednesday, January 21st, 2015, 20:24My dearly beloved daughter, wisdom is a Gift given to man by the Power of the Holy Spirit. For all the riches, powers and precious stones gleaned on earth, which man may gain, he has nothing if he does not possess the Gift of wisdom.

With wisdom comes the ability to see the Truth, which was given by God to the human race through the prophets. Wisdom, unfortunately, is a rare thing in the world today. By succumbing to all things created by man for man, you will fail to see all that is hidden beneath the layers of seductive soothing vapours that cover the world because of man’s pursuit of every pleasure, every act, every word and spiritual stimulation which does not come from God.

Man is born into the world naked, vulnerable and reliant on others to feed and clothe him. He is born with a body and soul and he will leave the world with nothing, including the garments that clothe him. Man learns from man but he must also learn from the Word of God. Any extra knowledge can be a great bonus, but if used unwisely can cause terrible pain to others. If knowledge is used wisely it can fulfil God’s Plan to help and nurture His children.

The human race is being deceived about the Truth. This great deceit sucks the knowledge and the human spirit dry. Sin is no longer merely accepted but is considered a virtue. Virtue is now frowned upon and soon the mere mention of My Name in public will be deemed to be a crime.

The devil’s influence twists the human mind and turns everything back to front. The devil is the antithesis of God and so, if God says that something is right then he, the evil one, will convince you that it is wrong. Right will be deemed to be wrong and an evil deed or word will be declared to be right. All sin, deplorable in the Eyes of God, will be justified and this will include every form of evil.

Sin will never be mentioned in the new world church to come and acts carried out by those who desire to uphold the Word of God will become illegal. And so wisdom, a Gift from God, will be lacking in your society as the human race embraces acts that are condemned by God.

If the world tells you that the Word of God should be ignored, and insists that you participate in acts which amount to
mortal sin, then I cannot save you. Man is being urged to applaud every cunning law that denies the Word of God and My enemies are extremely active in altering the course of history.

All good things, which stem from the Christian Faith, will soon disappear, until the day comes when you will be persecuted for receiving the Holy Sacraments. But for every wicked act carried out by those who despise Me, God will pour His Spirit over His Own to counteract this evil. Were He not to do this, there would be little hope in salvaging His children from the grip of darkness. Satan has manifested his influence in every corner of the world. Those he seduces are his willing agents and delight when they overcome all opposition from God’s people, so as to bring the world to its knees. But God, because of His Love for you, will ensure that Wisdom, granted to man through the Power of the Holy Spirit, becomes the armour which His loyal servants will use to steer people away from the smoke of Satan.

The Light of God will shine brightly amongst His people and under His Protection they will uphold His Word and lead others into the Spirit of wisdom. Souls who truly know Me will be drawn to God’s Gift of wisdom, for she will shine like the sun and bring comfort to all God’s people, who will be despised when they openly profess their love for God.

Evil will not, nor can it, overcome the Gift of wisdom, which God will soon bequeath to all those who love Him. Then nothing shall stand in God’s Way as He strides ahead to garner every nation into His Loving and Safe Arms.

All religions, all souls, all nations will be given the Gift of wisdom. But, it can only be received by those who truly love God, for only through their love for Him will they be able to pray for those who want nothing to do with Him.

Your Jesus”

Gospel Mk 2:18-22

The disciples of John and of the Pharisees were accustomed to fast.
People came to Jesus and objected,
“Why do the disciples of John and the disciples of the Pharisees fast,
but your disciples do not fast?”
Jesus answered them,
“Can the wedding guests fast while the bridegroom is with them?
As long as they have the bridegroom with them they cannot fast.
But the days will come when the
bridegroom is taken away from them,
and then they will fast on that day.
No one sews a piece of unshrunken cloth on an old cloak.
If he does, its fullness pulls away,
the new from the old, and the tear gets worse.
Likewise, no one pours new wine into old wineskins.
Otherwise, the wine will burst the skins,
and both the wine and the skins are ruined.
Rather, new wine is poured into fresh wineskins.””

True Life in God:

Unity Message
Unity Will Not Be Of The Letter But Of The Spirit
Message For The Prisoners

October 13, 1991

There is no one, my Lord, in my heart but You.
Little by little You correct me;
You have won my heart
showering blessing upon blessing on me.
But am I doing Your Will now?
Am I near You, following You?
Am I coming to my neighbour’s help as far as I can?
Am I following Your Commandments?
Am I enjoying Your favour still?

learn to lean on Me; – daughter, are you willing to continue carrying the Cross I have predestinated for you?

I am willing, so long as I do not lose You and am with You, united and one.

do you know what this means and what it requires?

Sacrifice, abasement, humility, effacement, love, faith, hope, docility, self-abnegation, prayer, prayer, prayer, patience, penance, mortification, suffering, fasting, and trust in You? And a spirit of forgiveness.

you have said well, but it is not just to know these things; you want to remain in My favour? then you must put everything you mentioned into practice; the Kingdom of Heaven is like a trophy, he who wins it will cherish it; again, the Kingdom of Heaven will be given to those who come with their hands full of good fruit – and so My Vassula, I intend to rebuild My Church on the virtues you have mentioned;

if you walk with Me you will not be lost; do not be tempted to look to your left or to your right; as I had said to My disciples: “salute no one on the road”; 1 you want to serve Me as you say, you must follow Me then with My Cross of Peace, Love and Unity to glorify Me; do not look with consternation on the other crosses I lay on your way, since they all come from Me; glorify Me; your table is always full and your cup brimming over, so do not complain for nothing; I shall probe you and test your love for Me now and then to build you spiritually; do not drag your feet behind Me, follow My pace light-heartedly; rest in Me when you are weary and allow Me to rest in you when I feel weary;

– listen now to your Holy One: do not be taken away by every wind that comes your way, be rooted in Me and you will not be uprooted, daughter; enrich My Church with all the Knowledge I have given you and tell them that the Heart of the Lord is an Abyss of Love, yet no man is fully aware of its depths nor of its riches;

I know you are frail, daughter, yet have you lacked resources? trust Me, trust Me, and be the reflection of what Unity will be like; do not be like those who persist in differentiating themselves under My Holy Name; do not be like those who pretend that Unity is appealing to them and remain dead to their word achieving nothing but a resentment from the Father; both the Father and I abhor their arguments, contrary to what they think; yet nothing retains Me from crying out to these men of power:

“descend! descend from your thrones and may these scales on your eyes fall to see what a desolation you have made out of My House! you have robbed My Sanctuary and all that was within it! you shattered the Shepherd’s staff not only in half but in splinters! but today, open your eyes and see! keep your eyes open and you will get to know poverty, sackcloth and barefootedness; keep your eyes open and with one look get to know My Heart;”

– I could utter only one word in their assemblies and with that single word unite My Church; but the glory of Heaven will be given to Me by Poverty, Wretchedness and by those they call contemptible; I will have My House rebuilt by strangers, for in them I will place a spirit of zeal, a spirit of fidelity; then your stores will be filled again and your vats overflowing with My new wine;

if you say you love Me and call yourself under My Name, then for the sake of My Holy Name and the sake of My Love:

unify My churches;

the real Christian is the one who is inwardly a Christian, and the real Unity is and will be in the heart; Unity will not be of the letter but of the spirit; –

if you love Me, daughter, as you say, embrace the Cross I have given you; your feet then will not stumble, nothing in this world is Its equal; let your gaze never leave My Gaze;

pupil? come, follow Me …”

Memorial of Saint Agnes, virgin and martyr
Lectionary: 312

Reading 1 1 Sm 16:1-13

The LORD said to Samuel:
“How long will you grieve for Saul,
whom I have rejected as king of Israel?
Fill your horn with oil, and be on your way.
I am sending you to Jesse of Bethlehem,
for I have chosen my king from among his sons.”
But Samuel replied:
“How can I go?
Saul will hear of it and kill me.”
To this the LORD answered:
“Take a heifer along and say,
‘I have come to sacrifice to the LORD.’
Invite Jesse to the sacrifice, and I myself will tell you what to do;
you are to anoint for me the one I point out to you.”

Samuel did as the LORD had commanded him.
When he entered Bethlehem,
the elders of the city came trembling to meet him and inquired,
“Is your visit peaceful, O seer?”
He replied:
“Yes!  I have come to sacrifice to the LORD.
So cleanse yourselves and join me today for the banquet.”
He also had Jesse and his sons cleanse themselves
and invited them to the sacrifice.
As they came, he looked at Eliab and thought,
“Surely the LORD’s anointed is here before him.”

But the LORD said to Samuel:
“Do not judge from his appearance or from his lofty stature,

because I have rejected him.
Not as man sees does God see,
because he sees the appearance
but the LORD looks into the heart.”
Then Jesse called Abinadab and presented him before Samuel,
who said, “The LORD
has not chosen him.”
Next Jesse presented Shammah, but Samuel said,
“The LORD
has not chosen this one either.”
In the same way Jesse presented seven sons before Samuel,
but Samuel said to Jesse,
“The LORD
has not chosen any one of these.”
Then Samuel asked Jesse,
“Are these all the sons you have?”
Jesse replied,
“There is still the youngest, who is tending the sheep.”

Samuel said to Jesse,
“Send for him;
we will not begin the sacrificial banquet until he arrives here.”
Jesse sent and had the young man brought to them.
He was ruddy, a youth handsome to behold
and making a splendid appearance.
The LORD said,
“There–anoint him, for this is he!”
Then Samuel, with the horn of oil in hand,
anointed him in the midst of his brothers;
and from that day on, the Spirit of the LORD rushed upon David.
When Samuel took his leave, he went to Ramah.

Responsorial Psalm 89:20, 21-22, 27-28

R.    (21a)  I  have found David, my servant.
Once you spoke in a vision,
and to your faithful ones you said:
“On a champion I have placed a crown;
over the people I have set a youth.”
R.    I  have found David, my servant.
“I have found David, my servant;
with my holy oil I have anointed him,
That my hand may be always with him,
and that my arm may make him strong.”
R.    I  have found David, my servant.
“He shall say of me, ‘You are my father,
my God, the Rock, my savior.’
And I will make him the first-born,
highest of the kings of the earth.”
R.    I  have found David, my servant.

Alleluia Eph Eph 1:17-18

R. Alleluia, alleluia.
May the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ
enlighten the eyes of our hearts,
that we may know what is the hope
that belongs to our call.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.

Gospel Mk 2:23-28

As Jesus was passing through a field of grain on the sabbath,
his disciples began to make a path while picking the heads of grain.
At this the Pharisees said to him,
“Look, why are they doing what is unlawful on the sabbath?”
He said to them,
“Have you never read what David did
when he
was in need and he and his companions were hungry?
How he went into the house of God when Abiathar was high priest
and ate the bread of offering that only the priests could lawfully eat,
and shared it with his companions?”
Then he said to them,
“The sabbath was made for man, not man for the sabbath.
That is why the Son of Man is lord even of the sabbath.””

Orthodox:

Taming the Tongue

3.1 Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers and sisters,[a] for you know that we who teach will be judged with greater strictness. For all of us make many mistakes. Anyone who makes no mistakes in speaking is perfect, able to keep the whole body in check with a bridle. If we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we guide their whole bodies. Or look at ships: though they are so large that it takes strong winds to drive them, yet they are guided by a very small rudder wherever the will of the pilot directs. So also the tongue is a small member, yet it boasts of great exploits.

How great a forest is set ablaze by a small fire! And the tongue is a fire. The tongue is placed among our members as a world of iniquity; it stains the whole body, sets on fire the cycle of nature,[b] and is itself set on fire by hell.[c] For every species of beast and bird, of reptile and sea creature, can be tamed and has been tamed by the human species, but no one can tame the tongue—a restless evil, full of deadly poison. With it we bless the Lord and Father, and with it we curse those who are made in the likeness of God. 10 From the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brothers and sisters,[d] this ought not to be so.

————————-

Some Pharisees came, and to test him they asked, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?” He answered them, “What did Moses command you?” They said, “Moses allowed a man to write a certificate of dismissal and to divorce her.” But Jesus said to them, “Because of your hardness of heart he wrote this commandment for you. But from the beginning of creation, ‘God made them male and female.’ ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife,[a] and the two shall become one flesh.’ So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one (/man) separate.”

10 Then in the house the disciples asked him again about this matter. 11 He said to them, “Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her; 12 and if she divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery.””

—–

“… Sin will never be mentioned in the new world church to come and acts carried out by those who desire to uphold the Word of God will become illegal. And so wisdom, a Gift from God, will be lacking in your society as the human race embraces acts that are condemned by God.

If the world tells you that the Word of God should be ignored, and insists that you participate in acts which amount to
mortal sin, then I cannot save you. Man is being urged to applaud every cunning law that denies the Word of God and My enemies are extremely active in altering the course of history.
 …”

1318. The Warning will help the world to fight the greatest apostasy of all time

The Book of Truth:
Tuesday, January 20th, 2015, 20:40
My dearly beloved daughter, when the Warning takes place this will be the first stage of the preparation for My Second Coming. Those who will not accept Me will be given an extraordinary chance to take time to ponder upon the Truth, such is the extent of My Great Mercy.
Please wait for this Day with great joy for it will be then that unbelievers will finally realise Who I Am. They will be shaken out of their apathy and filled with astonishment.

 

The Warning will help the world to fight the greatest apostasy of all time. By turning to Me during this 15 minutes of compete solitude, and asking Me to pardon you, you will be filled with the Gift of the Holy Spirit. Then you must prepare to fight to help others fulfil their glorious future.

While the Warning will ignite the faith of the faithful and convert many, there will be a great number of people, including priests and senior members of the clergy, who will deny it took place. They will lead many away from Me and for that they will be judged harshly. The Illumination of Conscience will bring with it a great outpouring of love for those whose names are contained in the Book of Life. These are the people – and they include many unbelievers – who will convert and who will fight to save their brothers and sisters.

My Time will be used to draw towards Me those who do not know Me at all, but who will still come to Me, when they witness this great event. They will know Me instantly and will respond in the way that they know best.

All of these events will come soon and, when the prophecies given to man from the beginning unfold, they will make perfect sense. Many of the prophecies given in the Book of Revelation were written in a way so that people would understand them through the use of symbols. The reality is different, but know this. The Intervention by Me will change the world forever. After that those who are for Me and who love Me, will help Me to bring Eternal Life to billions.Your Jesus”

True Life in God:

In the end everyone will worship Me

January 17, 1993

(Eve of Unity Week – Los Angeles)

Lord, I pray as You have prayed:
may we all be one,
as the Father is in You and You in Him,
so that the rest of the world
may believe it was the Father who sent You;
for this I pray too
for the sheep who are not of Your Fold,
that they too will listen to Your Voice,
I pray for the Moslems, the Jews
and others that they may come to love You
from today onwards.

Amen

I have heard you, I have heard you, My friend; in the end everyone will worship Me;”

That They All May Be One

January 18, 1993

(Sacramento)

(Today is my birthday and the first day of Unity week. It was also once the Feast of Peter’s Chair. Today I have been invited to speak at the Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament by the very holy bishop Francis A Quinn. In the afternoon just before my meeting, the people who invited me offered me a present. When I saw it I felt that it came from Jesus. For He had said to me these words on October 21, 1992: … “rejoice and exult for to you in turn My Cup I will pass I mean to bring nation after nation to live under My shadow, and believe that the Father sent Me; yes, the Day will come when all the earthly rulers, the governors and the men of influence, the whole population, will recognise Me as the Christ, Son of the Living God; and from every place, men will lift their hands up reverently in prayer and worship, all in one voice and heart…” and this is what they offered me: a gold-plated Chalice. Engraved on it are these words:

That they all may be one
Feast of Christian Unity
January 18 1993

Then the two bishops that were present celebrated Mass after my talk. The choir sang in the cathedral and everything was majestic. They used my Chalice during that Mass for Unity, consecrating the Precious Blood of Jesus inside it.

When I was giving my talk in the Cathedral, and was looking at the crowds that had amassed, an estimated 1800 people, I felt sad. There I was, sent by the Lord, to give a speech on Unity and facing perhaps 98% Roman Catholics; “but of the men of my people1 not one was with me”; there were even Moslems and Jews in the Cathedral …. But the Lord kept His surprise gift for my birthday till later on. – Just before Mass, in walks an Orthodox priest with his assistant. After Mass he asked to talk to me. We met at the sacristy and I understood what the Lord was saying to Me: “Russia will be the country who will glorify Me most.” He was a Russian Orthodox priest …

In the darkness of our division a tiny light of hope will shine of unity. This little light of hope is Russia. Unity will come through Russia and she will glorify God! I told the Russian priest that he was my birthday present from Jesus. His name is Fr. Vassili which is the male name of my name, Vassula.

The other sign that unity will be brought by Russia was that when I asked the Lord to choose an opening prayer, He chose the prayer of a Russian priest: Fr Sergius Bulgakov. He had asked me to open (the book) at random and I did, and my eyes saw first this prayer, that I wrote on December 29, 1989. Here it is again:

“O Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour,
thou didst promise to abide with us always.
Thou dost call all Christians
to draw near and partake of Thy Body and Blood.
But our sin has divided us and we have no power
to partake of Thy Holy Eucharist together.
We confess this our sin
and we pray thee, forgive us
and help us to serve the ways of reconciliation
according to Thy Will.
Kindle our hearts with the fire of the Holy Spirit,
give us the spirit of wisdom and faith,
of daring and of patience,
of humility and of firmness,
of love and of repentance,
through the prayers of the most blessed Mother of God,
and of all the saints.
Amen.”)”

Monday of the Second Week in Ordinary Time
Lectionary: 311

Reading 1 1 Sm 15:16-23

Samuel said to Saul:
“Stop! Let me tell you what the LORD said to me last night.”
Saul replied, “Speak!”
Samuel then said: “Though little in your own esteem,
are you not leader of the tribes of Israel?
The LORD anointed you king of Israel and sent you on a mission, saying,
‘Go and put the sinful Amalekites under a ban of destruction.
Fight against them until you have exterminated them.’
Why then have you disobeyed the LORD?
You have pounced on the spoil, thus displeasing the LORD.”
Saul answered Samuel:  “I did indeed obey the LORD
and fulfill the mission on which the LORD sent me.
I have brought back Agag, and I have destroyed Amalek under the ban.
But from the spoil the men took sheep and oxen,
the best of what had been banned,
to sacrifice to the LORD their God in Gilgal.”
But Samuel said:
“Does the LORD so delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices
as in obedience to the command of the LORD?
Obedience is better than sacrifice,
and submission than the fat of rams.
For a sin like divination is rebellion,
and presumption is the crime of idolatry.
Because you have rejected the command of the LORD,
he, too, has rejected you as ruler.”

Responsorial Psalm 50:8-9, 16bc-17, 21 and 23

R.    (23b)  To the upright I will show the saving power of God.
“Not for your sacrifices do I rebuke you,
for your burnt offerings are before me always.
I take from your house no bullock,
no goats out of your fold.”
R.    To the upright I will show the saving power of God.
“Why do you recite my statutes,
and profess my covenant with your mouth,
Though you hate discipline
and cast my words behind you?”
R.    To the upright I will show the saving power of God.
“When you do these things, shall I be deaf to it?
Or do you think that I am like yourself?
I will correct you by drawing them up before your eyes.
He that offers praise as a sacrifice glorifies me;
and to him that goes the right way I will show the salvation of God.”
R.    To the upright I will show the saving power of God.

The Destiny of the Righteous

3.1 But the souls of the righteous are in the hand of God,
and no torment will ever touch them.
In the eyes of the foolish they seemed to have died,
and their departure was thought to be a disaster,
and their going from us to be their destruction;
but they are at peace.
For though in the sight of others they were punished,
their hope is full of immortality.
Having been disciplined a little, they will receive great good,
because God tested them and found them worthy of himself;
like gold in the furnace he tried them,
and like a sacrificial burnt offering he accepted them.
In the time of their visitation they will shine forth,
and will run like sparks through the stubble.
They will govern nations and rule over peoples,
and the Lord will reign over them forever.
Those who trust in him will understand truth,
and the faithful will abide with him in love,
because grace and mercy are upon his holy ones,
and he watches over his elect.[a] …”

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Wisdom+3%3A1-9&version=NRSVCE;NR2006;SCH2000;ERV-HU;BDS

The Reward of the Righteous

15 But the righteous live forever,
and their reward is with the Lord;
the Most High takes care of them.
16 Therefore they will receive a glorious crown
and a beautiful diadem from the hand of the Lord,
because with his right hand he will cover them,
and with his arm he will shield them.
17 The Lord[a] will take his zeal as his whole armor,
and will arm all creation to repel[b] his enemies;
18 he will put on righteousness as a breastplate,
and wear impartial justice as a helmet;
19 he will take holiness as an invincible shield,
20 and sharpen stern wrath for a sword,
and creation will join with him to fight against his frenzied foes.
21 Shafts of lightning will fly with true aim,
and will leap from the clouds to the target, as from a well-drawn bow,
22 and hailstones full of wrath will be hurled as from a catapult;
the water of the sea will rage against them,
and rivers will relentlessly overwhelm them;
23 a mighty wind will rise against them,
and like a tempest it will winnow them away.
Lawlessness will lay waste the whole earth,
and evildoing will overturn the thrones of rulers.

Kings Should Seek Wisdom

6.1 Listen therefore, O kings, and understand;
learn, O judges of the ends of the earth.
Give ear, you that rule over multitudes,
and boast of many nations.
For your dominion was given you from the Lord,
and your sovereignty from the Most High;
he will search out your works and inquire into your plans.”

1317. Mother of Salvation: people choose their own destiny

The Book of Truth:

Tuesday, January 20th, 2015, 15:30

My dear children there will come shortly a great deceit, which will fall upon the world like a curtain. This deceit will almost obliterate the Truth, but those who are blessed with the Light of my Son’s Mercy will see the falsities, which mask the Word of God.

Not since man was created, will God permit His enemies to succumb to such deceit – a deceit, which has one purpose only. That is to wipe away all traces of God in your society so that all those who do not come from Him will be elevated to great positions of power. God permits this as the greatest test * of the human race, to  determine who is for Him and who is against Him.

The world has committed grave offences against my Eternal Father and it continues to plunge deeper into mortal sin. Sacred servants, including priests, bishops and cardinals have, for over forty years, failed to teach God’s children the Truth. Many of them will not acknowledge the existence of sin, nor will they warn people of the grave dangers that mortal sin brings to souls. God’s servants have one duty and that is to instruct the faithful in all things that are moral and show souls the dangers of failing to live a good life. Sin is no longer referred to as the greatest enemy, which causes man to separate from God.

Children, God does not desire to cause fear but you must never be tempted to believe that Hell does not exist, because it does. People choose their own destiny and those souls, who do not ask God for forgive them their sins will find it very difficult to enter the Gates of my Son’s Kingdom.

You must cling to the Truth always. God has revealed the Truth through His Prophets. Do not turn your backs on the Truth because if you do, you will embrace false doctrine and, mistakenly, believe that it will unlock the gates to your inheritance.

So many people are being misled and believe that once you look after the material welfare of God’s children, then this is all that matters. Look after your own souls, dear children, because you have one and it will last for eternity, whether you reside with my Son in His Kingdom or are cast away from Him. Never neglect your own souls or you will find it difficult to unite with my Son.

The Truth will live forever, as it is the Word of God. It can never change.

Your beloved Mother, Mother of Salvation”

True Life in God:

I Will Pour In Your Eyes My Transcendent Light

September 26, 1991

My eyes are always on You, O my God.
The close secret1 to You is given to those
who love You and fear You.

You have lifted my soul from the pit
to discover Your Sacred Heart’s Wealth,
I have discovered the Mercy Your prophets spoke of,
I have discovered the Love and Meekness Your disciples tasted,
I have discovered the Peace You Yourself have given us.
In Your Sacred Heart, You allowed my soul
to discover that Suffering is Divine
and Mortification agreeable in Your Eyes.

Then in my soul came a brilliant Light,
and like a tuneful noise of doves,
I heard and felt a Breath slide over my face
and You filled me with Your Mysteries.

taste more of My Secrets, My child, by being obedient to My Law; lower even more now your voice so you may hear only Mine; lower your head, so that Mine would be seen; lower yourself so that I can lift you up to Me;

many a time you inspect the Secrets of My Sacred Heart with your own light; you have only to ask Me, My child, and I will pour in your eyes My Transcendent Light and it will fill your entire soul; see to it then, My child, that the light inside you comes from Me; then, only then, My priest, will you understand that My Works are Sublime, Glorious and Majestic; only then, pupil of Mine, will you understand as I desire you to understand why Humility allowed Himself to be disgraced, disfigured, despised and pierced and gave His Life as a ransom for many;

– I have come to stir your love and rouse it, see? so do not shield your flesh from pain nor from any mortification; allow the Seal of your Saviour to be on your flesh as well as in your soul so that a complete transformation be done inside you; EVERYTHING then that your nature repelled, objected to and looked at with disdain, will appear to you Divine,

Grant, Lord,
that everything You say, be done.
Lower my head, lower me and lower my voice.
I do not want to appear empty handed in Your Presence;
no, I do not want to end up in Your Presence with empty hands.
And those human thoughts my nature finds natural,
uproot them and burn each one of them.

devote your soul entirely to Me and reflect on My Law before it comes upon you; do not forget how your nature had reduced you to desert, and desolation; I shall rid your human thoughts if you allow Me and replace them with My Thoughts to glorify Me; I will give you a courageous heart, My little one, to be able to face My opponents and resist their contradictions; I shall give you an eloquence of speech; an endurance and a resistance to the menaces of your persecutors who are My persecutors too; I shall give you courage to stand with confidence;

you are My seed and because the Harvest is ready, and the crop ready to be reaped, I do not lose time as you have noticed; I reap without ceasing to feed many who are at the point of death; so My beloved, “put your sickle in too and reap: harvest time has come and the harvest of the earth is ripe”; 2 allow Me to widen the space of your heart, for now your Captor will fill you with His Knowledge and His Confidences; I am only waiting to be gracious to all of you and reveal to each one of you My Riches, My Generosity and My Love;

I am telling you today all this so that My Word goes from this generation to the next; and you, who are learning, will, in your turn, teach your own children; if they listen and do as I say, their days will end up in happiness;

so turn to Me and praise My Works; meditate on My Wonders;”

Reading 1 Is 49:3, 5-6

The LORD said to me: You are my servant,
Israel, through whom I show my glory.
Now the LORD has spoken
who formed me as his servant from the womb,
that Jacob may be brought back to him
and Israel gathered to him;
and I am made glorious in the sight of the LORD,
and my God is now my strength!
It is too little, the LORD says, for you to be my servant,
to raise up the tribes of Jacob,
and restore the survivors of Israel;
I will make you a light to the nations,
that my salvation may reach to the ends of the earth.

Responsorial Psalm Ps 40:2, 4, 7-8, 8-9, 10

R/ (8a and 9a) Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will.
I have waited, waited for the LORD,
and he stooped toward me and heard my cry.
And he put a new song into my mouth,
a hymn to our God.
R/ Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will.
Sacrifice or offering you wished not,
but ears open to obedience you gave me.
Holocausts or sin-offerings you sought not;
then said I, “Behold I come.”
R/ Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will.
“In the written scroll it is prescribed for me,
to do your will, O my God, is my delight,
and your law is within my heart!”
R/ Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will.
I announced your justice in the vast assembly;
I did not restrain my lips, as you, O LORD, know.
R/ Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will.

Reading 2 1 Cor 1:1-3

Paul, called to be an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God,
and Sosthenes our brother,
to the church of God that is in Corinth,
to you who have been sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be holy,
with all those everywhere who call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours.
Grace to you and peace from God our Father
and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Gospel Jn 1:29-34

John the Baptist saw Jesus coming toward him and said,
“Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world.
He is the one of whom I said,
‘A man is coming after me who ranks ahead of me
because he existed before me.’
I did not know him,
but the reason why I came baptizing with water
was that he might be made known to Israel.”
John testified further, saying,
“I
saw the Spirit come down like a dove from heaven
and remain upon him.
I did not know him,
but the one who sent me to baptize with water told me,
‘On whomever you see the Spirit come down and remain,
he is the one who will baptize with the Holy Spirit.’
Now I have seen and testified that he is the Son of God.””

Jesus Appears to the Disciples

19 When it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and the doors of the house where the disciples had met were locked for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.” 20 After he said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord. 21 Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you.” 22 When he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. 23 If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.”

Jesus and Thomas

24 But Thomas (who was called the Twin[a]), one of the twelve, was not with them when Jesus came. 25 So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord.” But he said to them, “Unless I see the mark of the nails in his hands, and put my finger in the mark of the nails and my hand in his side, I will not believe.”

26 A week later his disciples were again in the house, and Thomas was with them. Although the doors were shut, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.” 27 Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here and see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it in my side. Do not doubt but believe.” 28 Thomas answered him, “My Lord and my God!” 29 Jesus said to him, “Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have come to believe.”

The Purpose of This Book

30 Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book. 31 But these are written so that you may come to believe[b] that Jesus is the Messiah,[c] the Son of God, and that through believing you may have life in his name.”

——————————

15 The saying is sure and worthy of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—of whom I am the foremost. 16 But for that very reason I received mercy, so that in me, as the foremost, Jesus Christ might display the utmost patience, making me an example to those who would come to believe in him for eternal life. 17 To the King of the ages, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever.[a] Amen.”

Jesus Heals a Blind Beggar Near Jericho

35 As he approached Jericho, a blind man was sitting by the roadside begging. 36 When he heard a crowd going by, he asked what was happening. 37 They told him, “Jesus of Nazareth[a] is passing by.” 38 Then he shouted, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” 39 Those who were in front sternly ordered him to be quiet; but he shouted even more loudly, “Son of David, have mercy on me!” 40 Jesus stood still and ordered the man to be brought to him; and when he came near, he asked him, 41 “What do you want me to do for you?” He said, “Lord, let me see again.” 42 Jesus said to him, “Receive your sight; your faith has saved you.” 43 Immediately he regained his sight and followed him, glorifying God; and all the people, when they saw it, praised God.”

1316. Only I know the day or the hour when you will take your last breath

The Book of Truth:
Sunday, January 18th, 2015, 12:45
My dearly beloved daughter, when a man wanders away from Me, for whatever reason, he will never find true peace. When a man discovers Who I Am his heart will swell with love for Me. A man who places all his trust in Me will endure any kind of suffering, for I will set him free.The Word of God causes great discord amongst those whose faith is weak. Those who believe in Me will feel great pain in their hearts when they witness opposition against the Word of God. This pain is Mine. If you believe in Me you will feel the love I have for you, within your soul. Always open your heart to Me. Welcome Me, not with fear, but with anticipation. Accept Me for Who I Am and the Word given to you; and then live your lives exactly as laid down in the Holy Bible, and I will be waiting for you.

Reject My Teachings and embrace sin, and this will be your downfall. Only I know the day or the hour when you will take your last breath. You must be prepared at all times. You must ask Me to forgive you your sins as often as you can. I forgive the most hardened of sinners and so you must never fear My Mercy. Fear only the hour when you have to stand before Me and answer for every iniquity committed against God. If you have not redeemed yourself in God’s Eyes by then, there won’t be a second chance to do so.

Your Jesus”

My dearly beloved daughter, it is I, your Jesus, your Redeemer who speaks.

So many people who read these messages are fearful. Fear brings with it a form of hatred because so many do not want to acknowledge Me. Fear is understandable but must not be allowed to cloud your trust. I only call out to you so you will come to Me. I have no desire to cause you anguish. Your time on earth is short-lived but the time you will spend with Me is for eternity.

If I love you why then would I not warn you of the consequences of rejecting My Mercy? All I need and desire is to bring all of you into My Kingdom. I do not tell you of things that are not contained in My Holy Book. No. Instead, I simply remind you of the Truth and of all things to come, so that you will come to Me. …”

The Human Race Grieves Me To The Point Of Death

July 24, 1991

(Rhodos)

(Message for the Rhodos prayer group.)

My eagerness to preach to them is beyond human understanding and that is why Wisdom is at the door of their heart; no one is worthy of My Wisdom, nevertheless, the Father out of His Infinite Graciousness is willing to give Wisdom to mere children;

ah …. My beloved, you are all My offspring, wretched you have become and still are, yet what Father would ignore his child in his misery and send him away to continue his immorality until Death overcomes him? would he not intervene and quickly rescue him? now that I have lifted you from the pit, lift your gaze on Me; your eyes shall behold Perfection; allow Me to keep house with you, you shall not regret it….

I, the Lord, bless each one of you; be a vessel of light for the others who walk around like tainted vessels, unable to tell their left hand from their right and bring them to Me; I shall give you My Strength, do not fear;

the human race grieves Me to the point of death and My Heart lacerates to watch such iniquity and sin into the world; you, you have heard My laments, because I came near you; you have heard My Voice, rejoice! rejoice and be glad that I healed your eyes that were dim, your heart that was sick with lawlessness; I made you come back to Me through My Mercy and now allow Me to use you all for My Divine Plan, young and old alike;

pray and ask for My guidance; you are very precious to Me; pray without cease for this shall be your nourishment;”

St. Margaret’s Virgin

HOLY LESSON FROM the Second Letter of the Apostle St. Paul to the Corinthians
I am engaged to a man to lead you to Christ as pure virgins.
Brethren!
Those who boast, boast in the Lord. Because it’s not the trustworthy who recommends himself, but who God recommends.
I wish you could put up with a little bruteity on my part. In fact, put up with me. I fear you with the jealousy of God’s love, for I am engaged to you with a man to lead you to Christ as pure virgins.
It’s the word of God.
2 Cor 10.17-11.2

ANSWER PSALM
Answer: Behold, the Groom is coming: * go before the Lord Christ! (Cf. Jn 2:11). Mt 25.6. – 11. tone)
Presinger: Hear, daughter, listen to my word , forget your people and your father’s house.
Your beauty is desired by the King, for he is your master, worship him.
Devotees: Behold, the Groom is coming: * Go before the Lord Christ!
E: Inside, the princess is full of beauty, her dress is weaved with gold.
He is led to the king in a colourful dress, followed by virgins and accompanied by his girlfriends.
H: Behold, the Groom will come: * go before the Lord Christ!
E: They march with joy, marching into the king’s house.
Instead of your fathers, you will have sons, you will make them princes all over the world.
H: Behold, the Groom will come: * go before the Lord Christ!
Psalm 44,11-12.14-15.16-17

ALLELUJA
Behold, the clever virgin, † whom the Lord found awake, and when the Lord arrived, went with him to the wedding. Cf. Mt 25,10 – 5. Tone.

† GOSPEL from the Book of St. Matthew
Here comes the Groom! Get in front of him.
At that time, Jesus gave his disciples the following parable:
The kingdom of heaven is like the ten virgins who took their lamps and went out in front of the groom. Five of them were foolish, and five were smart. The foolishs took their lanterns, but they did not carry oil; the smart ones, however, also brought oil to their lanterns in their jars. The groom was late, and they all fell asleep and fell asleep. In the middle of the night, there was a shout at once: Behold, the groom! Go in front of him.” And then the virgins all woke up and turned on their lanterns. The suckers asked the smart ones, “Give me your oil, because our lanterns are sleeping out!” The smart ones replied, “You can’t, lest we, too, have little. Why don’t you go to the dealers and buy yourselves.” While they were going shopping, the groom arrived, and those who were ready went in with him; and the door is closed. Later, the other virgins arrived. They said, “Lord, Lord! Open the door for us.” But he replied, “Yes, I tell you, I do not know you!”
So you’re going to wake up, because you don’t know the
day or the clock.
These are the words of the gospel. 

Mt 25,1-13″

Paul Thanks God for the Colossians

In our prayers for you we always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, for we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love that you have for all the saints, because of the hope laid up for you in heaven. You have heard of this hope before in the word of the truth, the gospel that has come to you. Just as it is bearing fruit and growing in the whole world, so it has been bearing fruit among yourselves from the day you heard it and truly comprehended the grace of God.”

Jesus Heals the Man with Dropsy

14 On one occasion when Jesus[a] was going to the house of a leader of the Pharisees to eat a meal on the sabbath, they were watching him closely. Just then, in front of him, there was a man who had dropsy. And Jesus asked the lawyers and Pharisees, “Is it lawful to cure people on the sabbath, or not?” But they were silent. So Jesus[b] took him and healed him, and sent him away. Then he said to them, “If one of you has a child[c] or an ox that has fallen into a well, will you not immediately pull it out on a sabbath day?” And they could not reply to this.

Humility and Hospitality

When he noticed how the guests chose the places of honor, he told them a parable. “When you are invited by someone to a wedding banquet, do not sit down at the place of honor, in case someone more distinguished than you has been invited by your host; and the host who invited both of you may come and say to you, ‘Give this person your place,’ and then in disgrace you would start to take the lowest place. 10 But when you are invited, go and sit down at the lowest place, so that when your host comes, he may say to you, ‘Friend, move up higher’; then you will be honored in the presence of all who sit at the table with you. 11 For all who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.””

“…

Reject My Teachings and embrace sin, and this will be your downfall. Only I know the day or the hour when you will take your last breath.

Torah:
God also spoke to Moses and said to him: “I am the Lord. I appeared to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob as God Almighty,[a] but by my name ‘The Lord[b] I did not make myself known to them. I also established my covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land in which they resided as aliens. I have also heard the groaning of the Israelites whom the Egyptians are holding as slaves, and I have remembered my covenant. Say therefore to the Israelites, ‘I am the Lord, and I will free you from the burdens of the Egyptians and deliver you from slavery to them. I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with mighty acts of judgment. I will take you as my people, and I will be your God. You shall know that I am the Lord your God, who has freed you from the burdens of the Egyptians. I will bring you into the land that I swore to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; I will give it to you for a possession. I am the Lord.’” Moses told this to the Israelites; but they would not listen to Moses, because of their broken spirit and their cruel slavery.

10 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, 11 “Go and tell Pharaoh king of Egypt to let the Israelites go out of his land.” 12 But Moses spoke to the Lord, “The Israelites have not listened to me; how then shall Pharaoh listen to me, poor speaker that I am?”[c] 13 Thus the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, and gave them orders regarding the Israelites and Pharaoh king of Egypt, charging them to free the Israelites from the land of Egypt.

The Genealogy of Moses and Aaron

14 The following are the heads of their ancestral houses: the sons of Reuben, the firstborn of Israel: Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi; these are the families of Reuben. 15 The sons of Simeon: Jemuel, Jamin, Ohad, Jachin, Zohar, and Shaul,[d] the son of a Canaanite woman; these are the families of Simeon. 16 The following are the names of the sons of Levi according to their genealogies: Gershon,[e] Kohath, and Merari, and the length of Levi’s life was one hundred thirty-seven years. 17 The sons of Gershon:[f] Libni and Shimei, by their families. 18 The sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, and the length of Kohath’s life was one hundred thirty-three years. 19 The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. These are the families of the Levites according to their genealogies. 20 Amram married Jochebed his father’s sister and she bore him Aaron and Moses, and the length of Amram’s life was one hundred thirty-seven years. 21 The sons of Izhar: Korah, Nepheg, and Zichri. 22 The sons of Uzziel: Mishael, Elzaphan, and Sithri. 23 Aaron married Elisheba, daughter of Amminadab and sister of Nahshon, and she bore him Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar. 24 The sons of Korah: Assir, Elkanah, and Abiasaph; these are the families of the Korahites. 25 Aaron’s son Eleazar married one of the daughters of Putiel, and she bore him Phinehas. These are the heads of the ancestral houses of the Levites by their families.

26 It was this same Aaron and Moses to whom the Lord said, “Bring the Israelites out of the land of Egypt, company by company.” 27 It was they who spoke to Pharaoh king of Egypt to bring the Israelites out of Egypt, the same Moses and Aaron.

Moses and Aaron Obey God’s Commands

28 On the day when the Lord spoke to Moses in the land of Egypt, 29 he said to him, “I am the Lord; tell Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I am speaking to you.” 30 But Moses said in the Lord’s presence, “Since I am a poor speaker,[g] why would Pharaoh listen to me?””

1315. I need you just as you need Me

The Book of Truth:

Saturday, January 17th, 2015, 18:18

My dearly beloved daughter, it is I, your Jesus, your Redeemer who speaks.

So many people who read these messages are fearful. Fear brings with it a form of hatred because so many do not want to acknowledge Me. Fear is understandable but must not be allowed to cloud your trust. I only call out to you so you will come to Me. I have no desire to cause you anguish. Your time on earth is short-lived but the time you will spend with Me is for eternity.

If I love you why then would I not warn you of the consequences of rejecting My Mercy? All I need and desire is to bring all of you into My Kingdom. I do not tell you of things that are not contained in My Holy Book. No. Instead, I simply remind you of the Truth and of all things to come, so that you will come to Me.

Come, My little ones, do not fear My Love. Do not fear My Kingdom for it is your natural birthright. It was for this that I gave up My Life on earth. I need you just as you need Me. I Am humble in My Wanting and simply desire to envelop you into a life of great glory where you will enjoy Everlasting Life. Why then do you fear My Call? I love you. I would never harm you. The only harm you face is from yourselves. I Am here always, awaiting with great expectation your love.

My world without end surpasses anything you could ever desire on this earth. Your life on earth pales when compared to the exquisiteness of My Kingdom. It was to ensure that you have Eternal Life – your rightful inheritance – that I died for your sins. Do not forsake this great Sacrifice for it was with great Glory that I was crucified on your behalf.

Do not reject Me, the second time.

Your beloved Jesus”

Fire Of Love

September 6, 1989

Lord?

I am; before you I stand; realise this Grace, My Vassula,

Somehow Lord I do not realise fully. I am unable to realise, but I believe.

believe, yes, believe in a child-like-faith; for this is what pleases Me and the Father; do you wish to write? yes?

I realised that I have forgotten to write.

about My Cross?

Yes, Lord.

then write it now,

Thank You, my God.

(Later on, after Jesus left with me His Cross, in a mystic way, it was like I received on me till late at night a rain of sorrows. It was like the world with its sins was closing upon me, sins of every kind. Suddenly, among this torment, I remembered Jesus in Gethsemane. I wept bitterly. On the other hand, I was pleased to relieve Jesus for just a short while. Jesus later on came and took His Cross.)

I am sharing It with you now, beloved;

Lord, I am listening.

listen and hear; have you ever heard of anyone who tried to live in devotion to Me and was never attacked or persecuted?

No Lord, some of them even died as martyrs.

yes, so you see, little one, we have now confirmation of what was said in the prophecies; to this day whoever comes forth from My Mouth and raises his voice to deliver My Message, is sure to be persecuted by the Cains; I call them but they refuse to listen; I beckon, but no one takes notice; they are spurning all My warnings, they make fun of the promise; have I not said that in your days I shall pour out My Spirit on mankind? and that I will put My Laws directly into your hearts and write them on your minds?

no prophecy comes from man’s initiative, how could it? My Word is given by My Holy Spirit, thus making men speak of Me; I, the Lord, have promised you New Heavens and a New Earth and My Vassula, I am in full preparation of these! but people are self-centred in your days, irreligious, heartless, preferring their own pleasure to God, but the days are fleeing and soon all this wickedness will come to its end, swept away and cleaned by My Fire of Love; so courage, little one; hardships will always be, but My Strength will always sustain you; soon you will see My New Heavens and will live on a New Earth; for My promise is soon to be fulfilled and a renewal of My Church is on its way; already you are living in the beginning of its birth-pangs, so courage, My beloved ones, you who bear My Name and are My offspring; do not despair, My Word is being fulfilled; I have said that I-shall-be-with-you and live among you; you shall eat directly from Me and I shall offer you water from the Well of Life, free to anybody of you who is thirsty;

My Fire is already coming down on you from Heaven and consuming you with My Great Love; I will spread this consuming Fire from nation to nation, transfiguring your wickedness into love, enticing your petrified hearts, leaving them ablaze, and your lethargy into zeal for Me your God; this Sacred Hour of My Fire will be spreading among you like a burning furnace and you will be filled with My Fire of Love, the Fire of My Holy Spirit; similar to the last Pentecost, I shall renew you, enlarging My Kingdom of Truth, Unity, Justice, Peace and Love;

so rejoice! exult with all your heart, My beloved, I will come and remove all your proud boasters who were one of the reasons of your dispersion and your downfall; they who muffle down My Spirit shall be overpowered by My Breath; you shall be purified by My Fire of Love; daughter, love Me, adore Me, please Me, Love loves you;

I bless you, My child;

We us, Lord?

we, us; My child, come;”

Memorial of Saint Anthony, abbot
Lectionary: 309

Reading 1 1 Sm 8:4-7, 10-22a

All the elders of Israel came in a body to Samuel at Ramah
and said to him, “Now that you are old,
and your sons do not follow your example,
appoint a king over us, as other nations have, to judge us.”

Samuel was displeased when they asked for a king to judge them.
He prayed to the LORD, however, who said in answer:
“Grant the people’s every request.
It is not you they reject, they are rejecting me as their king.”

Samuel delivered the message of the LORD in full
to those who were asking him for a king.
He told them:
“The rights of the king who will rule you will be as follows:
He will take your sons and assign them to his chariots and horses,
and they will run before his chariot.
He will also appoint from among them his commanders of groups
of a thousand and of a hundred soldiers.
He will set them to do his plowing and his harvesting,
and to make his implements of war and the equipment of his chariots.
He will use your daughters as ointment makers, as cooks, and as bakers.
He will take the best of your fields, vineyards, and olive groves,
and give them to his officials.
He will tithe your crops and your vineyards,
and give the revenue to his eunuchs and his slaves.
He will take your male and female servants,
as well as your best oxen and your asses,
and use them to do his work.
He will tithe your flocks and you yourselves will become his slaves.
When this takes place,
you will complain against the king whom you have chosen,
but on that day the LORD will not answer you.”

The people, however, refused to listen to Samuel’s warning and said,
“Not so!  There must be a king over us.
We too must be like other nations,
with a king to rule us and to lead us in warfare
and fight our battles.”
When Samuel had listened to all the people had to say,
he repeated it to the LORD, who then said to him,
“Grant their request and appoint
a king to rule them.”

Responsorial Psalm 89:16-17, 18-19

R.    (2)    For ever I will sing the goodness of the Lord.

and by your favor our horn is exalted.
For to the LORD belongs our shield,
and to the Holy One of Israel, our King.

Gospel Mk 2:1-12

When Jesus returned to Capernaum after some days,
it became known that he was at home.
Many gathered together so that there was no longer room for them,
not even around the door,
and he preached the word to them.
They came bringing to him a paralytic carried by four men.
Unable to get near Jesus because of the crowd,
they opened up the roof above him.
After they had broken through,
they let down the mat on which the paralytic was lying.
When Jesus saw their faith, he said to him,
“Child, your sins are forgiven.”

Now some of the scribes were sitting there asking themselves,
Why does this man speak that way?  He is blaspheming.
Who but God alone can forgive sins?”
Jesus immediately knew in his mind what
they were thinking to themselves,
so he said,
“Why are you thinking such things in your hearts?
Which is easier, to say to the paralytic,
‘Your sins are forgiven,’

or to say, ‘Rise, pick up your mat and walk’?
But that you may know
that the Son of Man has authority to forgive sins on earth”

–he said to the paralytic,
“I say to you, rise, pick up your mat, and go home.”
He rose, picked up his mat at once,
and went away in the sight of everyone.
They were all astounded
and glorified God, saying, “We have never seen anything like this.””

The Destiny of the Righteous

3.1 But the souls of the righteous are in the hand of God,
and no
torment will ever touch them.
In the eyes of the foolish they seemed to have died,
and their departure was thought to be a disaster,
and their going from us to be their destruction;
but they are at peace.

For though in the sight of others they were punished,
their hope is full of immortality.
Having been disciplined a little, they will receive great good,
because God tested them and found them worthy of himself;
like gold in the
furnace he tried them,
and like a sacrificial burnt offering he accepted them.
In the time of their visitation they will shine forth,
and will run like
sparks through the stubble.
They will govern nations and rule over peoples,
and the Lord will reign over them forever.

Those who trust in him will understand truth,
and the
faithful will abide with him in love,
because grace and mercy are upon his holy ones,
and he watches over his elect.[a] …”

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Wisdom+3%3A1-9&version=NRSVCE;NR2006;SCH2000;ERV-HU;BDS

The Reward of the Righteous

15 But the righteous live forever,
and their reward is with the Lord;
the Most High takes care of them.
16 Therefore they will receive a glorious crown
and a beautiful diadem from the hand of the Lord,
because with his right hand he will cover them,
and with his arm he will shield them.
17 The Lord[a] will take his zeal as his whole armor,
and will arm all creation to repel[b] his enemies;
18 he will put on righteousness as a breastplate,
and wear impartial justice as a helmet;
19 he will take holiness as an invincible shield,
20 and sharpen stern wrath for a sword,
and creation will join with him to fight against his frenzied foes.
21 Shafts of lightning will fly with true aim,
and will leap from the clouds to the target, as from a well-drawn bow,
22 and hailstones full of wrath will be hurled as from a catapult;
the water of the sea will rage against them,
and rivers will relentlessly overwhelm them;
23 a mighty wind will rise against them,
and like a tempest it will winnow them away.
Lawlessness will lay waste the whole earth,
and evildoing will overturn the thrones of rulers.

Kings Should Seek Wisdom

6.1 Listen therefore, O kings, and understand;
learn, O judges of the ends of the earth.
Give ear, you that rule over multitudes,
and boast of many nations.
For your dominion
was given you from the Lord,
and your sovereignty from the Most High;
he will search out your works and inquire into your plans.”

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Wisdom+5:15-6:3&version=NRSVCE;NR2006;SCH2000;ERV-HU;BDS

“…
My world without end surpasses anything you could ever desire on this earth. Your life on earth pales when compared to the exquisiteness of My Kingdom. It was to ensure that you have Eternal Life – your rightful inheritance – that I died for your sins. Do not forsake this great Sacrifice for it was with great Glory that I was crucified on your behalf.

Do not reject Me, the second time.

Your beloved Jesus”

 

But the righteous, though they die early, will be at rest.
For old age is not honored for length of time,
or measured by number of years;
but understanding is gray hair for anyone,
and a blameless life is ripe old age.

10 There were some who pleased God and were loved by him,
and while living among sinners were taken up.
11 They were caught up so that evil might not change their understanding
or guile deceive their souls.
12 For the fascination of wickedness obscures what is good,
and roving desire perverts the innocent mind.
13 Being perfected in a short time, they fulfilled long years;
14 for their souls were pleasing to the Lord,
therefore he took them quickly from the midst of wickedness.
15 Yet the peoples saw and did not understand,
or take such a thing to heart,
that God’s grace and mercy are with his elect,
and that he watches over his holy ones.”

1314. They justify sin so they do not have to change their lives

The Book of Truth:
Friday, January 16th, 2015, 11:10

My dearly beloved daughter, My Will can never be overcome for it is everlasting.Man has rebelled against God in so many ways but when the will of man becomes entwined with the Will of God, all those who fought the Will of God will lose everything. Those of tender heart and who accept Me after the Warning will gain the world.


The world to come is without end and will be void of all sin. Glory to all those who win their rightful inheritance, for this has been part of My Father’s Plan from the beginning – the Divine plan to which man is not fully
privy to.

 

It is important that each one of you fights the temptation of sin, although this will never be easy. Just keep calling out to Me when you believe you have wronged Me. I Am always there and will forgive you any sin, with the exception of the eternal sin of blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. All you must do is reach out to Me.

This world of Mine is full of wickedness, deceit and the spirit of evil but love also exists within it. It is the love that man has for his brother that keeps Me present amongst you and prayer, which keeps evil at bay.

I do not ask that you give up your life in prayer all day, every day, because this is not what I demand of you. All I ask is that you call out to Me for help and that you give glory to God. To fulfill My Promise to the world, and to ensure that all of you will have eternal life, all you need do is adhere to the Laws of God as set out clearly in the Ten Commandments.


Follow Me, your Jesus, and remember everything that I taught you. It is no good declaring that you love Me if you reject the Word of God. You must love one another first and do onto others only that which you would have done onto yourselves. Live My Word through your thoughts, deeds and actions and then you will truly be of Me.  Hatred plays no part in My Work although everything that I said when I walked the earth attracted great criticism because people did not want to change their lives. Today My Word is rejected because people do not want to adhere to the Truth. Instead, they justify sin so they do not have to change their lives. So, nothing has really changed.The bondage of sin, where man chains himself to the influence of Satan, is stronger now than before. Cut loose now and seek me out. Remember you can only be forgiven of your sins while you are alive – not after you depart this earth.When will man accept the Word of God and know that everything He said was true? Everything He said He would do, is true, and all that I tell you now is true. Sadly, many of you will never listen and by the time you realize the Truth it will be too late. You must protect your future now by living the Word of God.

Your Jesus”

True Life in God:

“…

My child, 2 prayer is your weapon, and I, I can take you out of the power of darkness to place you into what you once thought of Me: the Inaccessible Light and the Unattainable Treasure; in My Glorious Power, My child, you can obtain your strength, your gentleness and your patience; you can obtain perseverance and in Me and through Me, you can call out: “Amen!” and I, The Amen, the Faithful One, the True Witness, the Ultimate Source of God’s creation, will hear you! like a clap of thunder, I shall descend upon you to give you freedom and bring you in union with Our Oneness, filling you with the absolute fullness of Our Trinitarian Holiness;

a baptism of Fire is coming upon you, creation! a baptism so longed for, to make all things new again; daughter, proclaim the Kingdom of God and let no one hinder you …. 3 ask for the Fountain of Living Water, to come upon you like a Spring to refresh you!

Hope of hopes,
can I really ask You to unchain
those that are still chained?

ask! have you not heard that freedom is to be found in Me? 4 I tell you, I will come upon those who never sought Me, yet their hearts remained as those of children; I will reveal My glorious power to those who never even consulted Me, I will go where I am not banned;

– the time of sorting out has come; the time to reveal the glorious riches of the Kingdom has come; the time of grace is upon you; this is why I tell you again: you, who make part of Christ’s Body, come, and aspire for My gifts so that you may fully penetrate into the Mystery of Christ; and do not be like the apostates who stopped looking for what is right;

– and you who say to the ones who invoke Me: 5 “this prayer is not in my domain”, I ask you: “is it possible that you did not hear Me? could it be that you did not see Me? is it possible that you did not understand Me? am I now to say that you are resisting Me? you claim to have knowledge of Me but the things you say and do are nothing but a denial of My graces;”

6 peace be with you; survivor of this great Apostasy, glorify Our Name thrice Holy and intimately give Us praise;

(The Holy Spirit then opened my mouth and filled it with praises for God.)

Reading 1 1 Sm 4:1-11

The Philistines gathered for an attack on Israel.
Israel went out to engage them in battle and camped at Ebenezer,
while the Philistines camped at Aphek.
The Philistines then drew up in battle formation against Israel.
After a fierce struggle Israel was defeated by the Philistines,
who slew about four thousand men on the battlefield.
When the troops retired to the camp, the elders of Israel said,
“Why has the LORD permitted us to be defeated today
by the Philistines?
Let us fetch the ark of the LORD from Shiloh
that it may go into battle among us
and save us from the grasp of our enemies.”

So the people sent to Shiloh and brought from there
the ark of the LORD of hosts, who is enthroned upon the cherubim.
The two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were with the ark of God.
When the ark of the LORD arrived in the camp,
all Israel shouted so loudly that the earth resounded.
The Philistines, hearing the noise of shouting, asked,
“What can this loud shouting in the camp of the Hebrews mean?”
On learning that the ark of the LORD had come into the camp,
the Philistines were frightened.
They said, “Gods have come to their camp.”
They said also, “Woe to us! This has never happened before. Woe to us!
Who can deliver us from the power of these mighty gods?
These are the gods that struck the Egyptians
with various plagues and with pestilence.
Take courage and be manly, Philistines;
otherwise you will become slaves to the Hebrews,
as they were your slaves.
So fight manfully!”
The Philistines fought and Israel was defeated;
every man fled to his own tent.
It was a disastrous
defeat,
in which Israel lost thirty thousand foot soldiers.

The ark of God was captured,
and Eli’s two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, were among the dead.

Responsorial Psalm 44:10-11, 14-15, 24-25

R.    (27b)  Redeem us, Lord, because of your mercy.
Yet now you have cast us off and put us in disgrace,
and you go not forth with our armies.
You have let us be driven back by our foes;
those who hated us plundered us at will.
R.    Redeem us, Lord, because of your mercy.
You made us the reproach of our neighbors,
the mockery and the scorn of those around us.
You made us a byword among the nations,
a laughingstock among the peoples.
R.    Redeem us, Lord, because of your mercy.
Why do you hide your face,
forgetting our woe and our oppression?
For our souls are bowed down to the dust,
our bodies are pressed to the earth.

R.    Redeem us, Lord, because of your mercy.

Alleluia Mt 4:23

R. Alleluia, alleluia.
Jesus preached the Gospel of the Kingdom
and cured every disease among the people.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.

Gospel Mk 1:40-45

A leper came to him and kneeling down begged him and said,
If you wish, you can make me clean.”
Moved with pity, he stretched out his hand,
touched the leper, and said to him,
I do will it. Be made clean.”
The leprosy left him immediately, and he was made clean.
Then, warning him sternly, he dismissed him at once.
Then he said to him, “See that you tell no one anything,
but go, show yourself to the priest
and offer for your cleansing what Moses prescribed;
that will be
proof for them.”

The man went away and began to publicize the whole matter.
He spread the report abroad
so that it was impossible for Jesus to enter a town openly.
He remained outside in deserted places,
and people kept coming to him from everywhere.”

Hearing and Doing the Word

19 You must understand this, my beloved:[a] let everyone be quick to listen, slow to speak, slow to anger; 20 for your anger does not produce God’s righteousness. 21 Therefore rid yourselves of all sordidness and rank growth of wickedness, and welcome with meekness the implanted word that has the power to save your souls.

22 But be doers of the word, and not merely hearers who deceive themselves. 23 For if any are hearers of the word and not doers, they are like those who look at themselves[b] in a mirror; 24 for they look at themselves and, on going away, immediately forget what they were like. 25 But those who look into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and persevere (/insist on the truth he knows), being not hearers who  forget but doers who act—they will be blessed in their doing.

26 If any think they are religious, and do not bridle their tongues but deceive their hearts, their religion is worthless. 27 Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to care for orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.

 

10 So they kept the matter to themselves, questioning what this rising from the dead could mean. 11 Then they asked him, “Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?” 12 He said to them, “Elijah is indeed coming first to restore all things. How then is it written about the Son of Man, that he is to go through many sufferings and be treated with contempt? 13 But I tell you that Elijah has come, and they did to him whatever they pleased, as it is written about him.”

The Healing of a Boy with a Spirit

14 When they came to the disciples, they saw a great crowd around them, and some scribes arguing with them. 15 When the whole crowd saw him, they were immediately overcome with awe, and they ran forward to greet him. 16 He asked them, “What are you arguing about with them?” …

Pray that love for God remains alive in the world, for without it you will feel desolate and isolated.

The Book of Truth:
Wednesday, January 14th, 2015, 15:40

My dearly beloved daughter, when a child of loving parents feels love, he or she will be nurtured with a great sense of comfort and familiarity.The love between a child – fortunate to have loving parents – and family, stems from an ingrained sense of trust. This trust is absolute. The same is true for every living soul who loves Me unconditionally. My Love for them is unshakable. Trust is the key to true love. Every child of Mine is loved, although their love for Me is not always there.

Love Me and you will feel peace. Love Me and you will love all those who are children of God. This love is a natural thing. Without it you cannot be whole.

When I Am in you, you will see the world as I do in all its glory as well as in its imperfections. You will recognize the obstacles, which face humanity and you will feel a wretchedness when you witness hatred in any form for hatred is the opposite to love.

Pray, pray, pray that love for God remains alive in the world, for without it you will feel desolate and isolated.

Love Me as I love all of God’s children and I will pour great Graces upon you and you will overcome evil in all its forms.

Your beloved Jesus”

Our Two Hearts Are Filled With Overwhelming Joy When We See You Coming To Us To Pray

October 8, 1992

My Vassula, I am your Mother; ‘pethi-mou’1 remember you are in Our Hearts;

live for Jesus and He will give you an eloquence of speech to glorify Him; your suffering leads you to sanctification, and I tell you, in all Our grief a ray of consolation penetrates Our Two Hearts and We are filled with overwhelming joy when We see you coming to Us to pray; learn that prayer; love and humility are the strongest weapons against Satan; everyone of you makes part of the renovating process of the Church; but Satan in his fury will toss each one of you against each other if he finds you sleeping; Our Plan is to plant you all together in love and rebuild the Church on Love; you have now seen a dim reflection of how Satan works;

I bless you and all those who contribute in this work; pray My Vassula, and although the battle is in its full force, do not fear; I am near you;”

Wednesday of the First Week in Ordinary Time
Lectionary: 307

Reading 1 1 Sm 3:1-10, 19-20

During the time young Samuel was minister to the LORD under Eli,
a revelation of the LORD was uncommon and vision infrequent.
One day Eli was asleep in his usual place.
His eyes had lately grown so weak that he could not see.
The lamp of God was not yet extinguished,
and Samuel was sleeping in the temple of the LORD
where the ark of God was.
The LORD called to Samuel, who answered, “Here I am.”

Samuel ran to Eli and said, “Here I am.  You called me.”
“I did not call you,” Eli said.  “Go back to sleep.”
So he went back to sleep.
Again the LORD called Samuel, who rose and went to Eli.
“Here I am,” he said. “You called me.”
But Eli answered, “I did not call you, my son. Go back to sleep.”
At that time Samuel was not familiar with the LORD,
because the LORD had not revealed anything to him as yet.
The LORD called Samuel again, for the third time.
Getting up and going to Eli, he said, “Here I am.
You called me.”
Then Eli understood that the LORD was calling the youth.
So Eli said to Samuel, “Go to sleep, and if you are called, reply,
‘Speak, LORD, for your servant is listening.’”
When Samuel went to sleep in his place,
the LORD came and revealed his presence,
calling out as before, “Samuel, Samuel!”
Samuel answered, “Speak, for your servant is listening.”

Samuel grew up, and the LORD was with him,
not permitting any word of his to be without effect.
Thus all Israel from Dan to Beersheba
came to know that Samuel was an accredited prophet of the LORD.

Responsorial Psalm 40:2 and 5, 7-8a, 8b-9, 10

R.    (8a and 9a)  Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will.
I have waited, waited for the LORD,
and he stooped toward me and heard my cry.
Blessed the man who makes the LORD his trust;
who turns not to idolatry
or to those who stray after falsehood.
R.    Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will.
Sacrifice or oblation you wished not,
but ears open to obedience you gave me.
Burnt offerings or sin-offerings you sought not;
then said I, “Behold I come.”
R.    Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will.
“In the written scroll it is prescribed for me.
To do your will, O my God, is my delight,
and your law is within my heart!”
R.    Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will.
I announced your justice in the vast assembly;
I did not restrain my lips, as you, O LORD, know.
R.    Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will.

On leaving the synagogue
Jesus entered the house of Simon and Andrew with James and John.
Simon’s mother-in-law lay sick with a fever.
They immediately told him about her.
He approached, grasped her hand, and helped her up.
Then the fever left her and she waited on them.

When it was evening, after sunset,
they brought to him all who were ill or possessed by demons.
The whole town was gathered at the door.
He cured many who were sick with various diseases,
and he drove out
many demons,
not permitting them to speak because they knew him.

Rising very early before dawn,
he left and went off to a deserted place, where he prayed.
Simon and those who were with him pursued him
and on finding him said, “Everyone is looking for you.”
He told them, “Let us go on to the nearby villages
that I may preach there also.

For this purpose have I come.”
So he went into their synagogues, preaching and driving out demons
throughout the whole of Galilee.”

Salutation

James, a servant[a] of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ,

To the twelve tribes in the Dispersion:

Greetings.

Faith and Wisdom

My brothers and sisters,[b] whenever you face trials of any kind, consider it nothing but joy, because you know that the testing of your faith produces endurance; and let endurance have its full effect, so that you may be mature and complete, lacking in nothing.

If any of you is lacking in wisdom, ask God, who gives to all generously and ungrudgingly, and it will be given you. But ask in faith, never doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind; 7, 8 for the doubter, being double-minded and unstable in every way, must not expect to receive anything from the Lord.

Poverty and Riches

Let the believer[c] who is lowly boast in being raised up, 10 and the rich in being brought low, because the rich will disappear like a flower in the field. 11 For the sun rises with its scorching heat and withers the field; its flower falls, and its beauty perishes. It is the same way with the rich; in the midst of a busy life, they will wither away.

Trial and Temptation

12 Blessed is anyone who endures temptation. Such a one has stood the test and will receive the crown of life that the Lord[d] has promised to those who love him. 13 No one, when tempted, should say, “I am being tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil and he himself tempts no one. 14 But one is tempted by one’s own desire, being lured and enticed by it; 15 then, when that desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin, and that sin, when it is fully grown, gives birth to death. 16 Do not be deceived, my beloved.[e]

17 Every generous act of giving, with every perfect gift, is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.[f] 18 In fulfillment of his own purpose he gave us birth by the word of truth, so that we would become a kind of first fruits of his creatures.

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=James+1%3A1-18&version=NRSVCE;NR2006;SCH2000;ERV-HU;BDS


30 And he sternly ordered them not to tell anyone about him.

Jesus Foretells His Death and Resurrection

31 Then he began to teach them that the Son of Man must undergo great suffering, and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again. 32 He said all this quite openly. And Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. 33 But turning and looking at his disciples, he rebuked Peter and said, “Get behind me, Satan! For you are setting your mind not on divine things but on human things.”

34 He called the crowd with his disciples, and said to them, “If any want to become my followers, let them deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. …

O Visitor of our soul,
Come and free us!

ask! have you not heard that freedom is to be found in Me? 4 I tell you, I will come upon those who never sought Me, yet their hearts remained as those of children; I will reveal My glorious power to those who never even consulted Me, I will go where I am not banned;

– the time of sorting out has come; the time to reveal the glorious riches of the Kingdom has come; the time of grace is upon you; this is why I tell you again: you, who make part of Christ’s Body, come, and aspire for My gifts so that you may fully penetrate into the Mystery of Christ; and do not be like the apostates who stopped looking for what is right;

– and you who say to the ones who invoke Me: 5 “this prayer is not in my domain”, I ask you: “is it possible that you did not hear Me? could it be that you did not see Me? is it possible that you did not understand Me? am I now to say that you are resisting Me? you claim to have knowledge of Me but the things you say and do are nothing but a denial of My graces;”

6 peace be with you; survivor of this great Apostasy, glorify Our Name thrice Holy and intimately give Us praise;

(The Holy Spirit then opened my mouth and filled it with praises for God.)

Gospel LK 4:14-22

Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit,
and news of him spread throughout the whole region.
He taught in their synagogues and was praised by all.He came to Nazareth, where he had grown up,
and went according to his custom
into the synagogue on the sabbath day.
He stood up to read and was handed a scroll of the prophet Isaiah.
He unrolled the scroll and found the passage where it was written:
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,
because he has
anointed me
to bring glad tidings to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim liberty to captives
and recovery of sight to the
blind,
to let the oppressed go free,
and to proclaim a year acceptable to the Lord.
Rolling up the scroll, he handed it back to the attendant and sat down,
and the eyes of all in the synagogue looked intently at him.
He said to them,
“Today this Scripture passage is fulfilled in your hearing.”
And all spoke highly of him
and were amazed at the gracious words that came from his mouth.”

Tuesday of the First Week in Ordinary Time
Lectionary: 306

Reading 1 1 Sm 1:9-20

Hannah rose after a meal at Shiloh,
and presented herself before the LORD;
at the time, Eli the priest was sitting on a chair
near the doorpost of the LORD’s temple.
In her bitterness she prayed to the LORD, weeping copiously,
and she made a vow, promising: “O LORD of hosts,
if you look with pity on the misery of your handmaid,
if you remember me and do not forget me,
if you give your handmaid a male child,
I will give him to the LORD for as long as he lives;
neither wine nor liquor shall he drink,
and no razor shall ever touch his head.”
As she remained long at prayer  before the LORD,
Eli watched her mouth, for Hannah was praying silently;
though her lips were moving, her voice could not be heard.
Eli, thinking her drunk, said to her,
“How long will you make a drunken show of yourself?
Sober up from your wine!”
“It isn’t that, my lord,” Hannah answered.
“I am an unhappy woman.
I have had neither wine nor liquor;
I was only pouring out my troubles to the LORD.
Do not think your handmaid a ne’er-do-well;
my prayer has been prompted by my deep sorrow and misery.”
Eli said, “Go in peace,
and may the God of Israel grant you what you have asked of him.”
She replied, “Think kindly of your maidservant,” and left.
She went to her quarters, ate and drank with her husband,
and no longer appeared downcast.
Early the next morning they worshiped before the LORD,
and then returned to their home in Ramah.

When Elkanah had relations with his wife Hannah,
the LORD remembered her.
She conceived, and at the end of her term bore a son
whom she called Samuel, since she had asked the LORD for him.

Responsorial Psalm 1 Samuel 2:1, 4-5, 6-7, 8abcd

R.    (see 1) My heart exults in the Lord, my Savior.
“My heart exults in the LORD,
my horn is exalted in my God.
I have swallowed up my enemies;
I rejoice in my victory.”
R.    My heart exults in the Lord, my Savior.
“The bows of the mighty are broken,
while the tottering gird on strength.
The well-fed hire themselves out for bread,
while the hungry batten on spoil.
The barren wife bears seven sons,
while the mother of many languishes.”
R.    My heart exults in the Lord, my Savior.
“The LORD puts to death and gives life;
he casts down to the nether world;
he raises up again.
The LORD makes poor and makes rich;
he humbles, he also exalts.”
R.    My heart exults in the Lord, my Savior.
“He raises the needy from the dust;
from the dung heap he lifts up the poor,
To seat them with nobles
and make a
glorious throne their heritage.”
R.    My heart exults in the Lord, my Savior.

Gospel Mk 1:21-28

Jesus came to Capernaum with his followers,
and on the sabbath he entered the synagogue and taught.
The people were astonished at his teaching,
for he taught them as one having authority and not as the scribes.
In their synagogue was a man with an unclean spirit;
he cried out, “What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth?
Have
you come to destroy us?
I know who you are–the Holy One of God!”

Jesus rebuked him and said, “Quiet!  Come out of him!”
The unclean spirit
convulsed him and with a loud cry came out of him.

All were amazed and asked one another,
“What is this?
A new teaching with authority.
He commands even the unclean spirits and they obey him.”
His fame spread everywhere throughout the whole region of Galilee.”

Orthodox:

 25 See that you do not refuse the one who is speaking; for if they did not escape when they refused the one who warned them on earth, how much less will we escape if we reject the one who warns from heaven! 26 At that time his voice shook the earth; but now he has promised, “Yet once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heaven.” 27 This phrase, “Yet once more,” indicates the removal of what is shaken—that is, created things—so that what cannot be shaken may remain. 28 Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us give thanks, by which we offer to God an acceptable worship with reverence and awe; 29 for indeed our God is a consuming fire.

Service Well-Pleasing to God

13.1 Let mutual love continue. Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by doing that some have entertained angels without knowing it. Remember those who are in prison, as though you were in prison with them; those who are being tortured, as though you yourselves were being tortured.[a] Let marriage be held in honor by all, and let the marriage bed be kept undefiled; for God will judge fornicators and adulterers. Keep your lives free from the love of money, and be content with what you have; for he has said, “I will never leave you or forsake you.” So we can say with confidence,

“The Lord is my helper;
    I will not be afraid.
What can anyone do to me?”

Remember your leaders, those who spoke the word of God to you; consider the outcome of their way of life, and imitate their faith. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. Do not be carried away by all kinds of strange teachings; for it is well for the heart to be strengthened by grace, not by regulations about food,[b] which have not benefited those who observe them. 10 We have an altar from which those who officiate in the tent[c] have no right to eat. 11 For the bodies of those animals whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest as a sacrifice for sin are burned outside the camp. 12 Therefore Jesus also suffered outside the city gate in order to sanctify the people by his own blood. 13 Let us then go to him outside the camp and bear the abuse he endured. 14 For here we have no lasting city, but we are looking for the city that is to come. 15 Through him, then, let us continually offer a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that confess his name. 16 Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God.

17 Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they are keeping watch over your souls and will give an account. Let them do this with joy and not with sighing—for that would be harmful to you.

18 Pray for us; we are sure that we have a clear conscience, desiring to act honorably in all things. 19 I urge you all the more to do this, so that I may be restored to you very soon.

Benediction

20 Now may the God of peace, who brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep, by the blood of the eternal covenant, 21 make you complete in everything good so that you may do his will, working among us[d] that which is pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

Final Exhortation and Greetings

22 I appeal to you, brothers and sisters,[e] bear with my word of exhortation, for I have written to you briefly. 23 I want you to know that our brother Timothy has been set free; and if he comes in time, he will be with me when I see you. 24 Greet all your leaders and all the saints. Those from Italy send you greetings. 25 Grace be with all of you.[f] …”

Jesus Cures a Blind Man at Bethsaida

22 They came to Bethsaida. Some people[a] brought a blind man to him and begged him to touch him. 23 He took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the village; and when he had put saliva on his eyes and laid his hands on him, he asked him, “Can you see anything?” 24 And the man[b] looked up and said, “I can see people, but they look like trees, walking.” 25 Then Jesus[c] laid his hands on his eyes again; and he looked intently and his sight was restored, and he saw everything clearly. 26 Then he sent him away to his home, saying, “Do not even go into the village.”[d]

Wednesday, January 14th, 2015, 15:40My dearly beloved daughter, when a child of loving parents feels love, he or she will be nurtured with a great sense of comfort and familiarity.The love between a child – fortunate to have loving parents – and family, stems from an ingrained sense of trust. This trust is absolute. The same is true for every living soul who loves Me unconditionally. My Love for them is unshakable. Trust is the key to true love. Every child of Mine is loved, although their love for Me is not always there.Love Me and you will feel peace. Love Me and you will love all those who are children of God. This love is a natural thing. Without it you cannot be whole.When I Am in you, you will see the world as I do in all its glory as well as in its imperfections. You will recognize the obstacles, which face humanity and you will feel a wretchedness when you witness hatred in any form for hatred is the opposite to love.Pray, pray, pray that love for God remains alive in the world, for without it you will feel desolate and isolated.

Love Me as I love all of God’s children and I will pour great Graces upon you and you will overcome evil in all its forms.

Your beloved Jesus”

You will be tested beyond endurance in your faith in the most Holy Blessed Trinity, and many of you will fall.

The Book of Truth:
Saturday, January 10th, 2015, 15:36

My dearest daughter, humanity has turned against Me and all that I created in My Image and, for that, My Sorrow is great.

My children will be saved by the Intervention of My dearly beloved Son, Jesus Christ, and this will take place very soon. Before this day I ask all those who love Me to acknowledge the Truth; My Son and His Love to pray for His Mercy.

You, who love My Son, must remember His Promise to redeem the world and eradicate sin before His Glorious Kingdom descends. Life of the body and the soul will be eternal and those who accept My Son’s Mercy will gain this great Gift. Those who don’t, will not.

Come, My children, and accept My Word for it is eternal and nothing will destroy it. My adversary seethes with anger at this time because he knows that the world will be rid of his influence and he will unleash terrible hardships upon those souls he desires to deny, the Gift of eternal life.

You will be tested beyond endurance in your faith in the most Holy Blessed Trinity, and many of you will fall. True faith requires real trust and, unless you trust in the promises made by My Son, you will become separated from Him.

Every single child of Mine will be given the proof of My Existence shortly. When this sign is given, do not doubt it, for it is to bring you into My Refuge that I bequeath it to you.

Many signs have been given to the world of My Existence and now I bring you much more. Fear not for I will pursue every soul and there is not one amongst you that I do not love with a tender heart. I love My enemies, including those who torture Me with their wickedness. But, soon, the Gift I will bring them will awaken a dormant love for their Creator within their hearts. Their love and My Divine Love, combined, will defeat evil. I will wipe away all their fears and tears.

You, My dear children, will be given this Gift when you are least expecting it. For, that time is drawing nearer and the face of the world will be changed forever and for the good of all.

My Power exceeds all that is of this world and beyond it. My Kingdom is everlasting.Your beloved Father, God the Most High ”

True Life in God:

They Have Sworn To Surge Over You

November 21, 1995

Have I toiled in vain?
Have I exhausted myself for nothing?
Yet all the while my course was with You.
My charism is given by You, my God,
this is why You were my Strength.

My Vassula, why do you say, “were my Strength?” why do you talk in the past? you are under My service still and you are permanently strengthened by Me; I am still your Strength and will always be …. no, you have not laboured in vain nor have you been spent for nothing; your abandonment has done prodigies in My Spirit; is a country born in one day? likewise nor is it possible that unity be born in one single day since many of My elect follow their own ways; a Voice was sent to the nations to speak and console My children, to turn them back to Me; I provided seeds to be sown in the field of reconciliation and I had provided you with My spiritual bread so that My Word fills those who lacked;

– your race, Vassula, is not over because I have created you to be My weapon against the Destroyer who renders many of My people blind; you will have nothing to fear since I am with you ….

yes, the Destroyer captivated their mind by its power over the world and its name lies in Scriptures as the three foul spirits forming a triangle; those three foul spirits coming from the jaws of dragon and beast and false prophet, 1 why, they have awakened with your sound since you are My Echo and so have sworn, by overturning My Chalice, to silence you; they have sworn to surge over you and against you;

My little angel, in your frailty I shall disarm the mighty ones; in your nothingness I shall reveal My Power and overturn their kingdoms; take courage, daughter, and I will re-establish the truth; I bless you;”

Monday of the First Week in Ordinary Time
Lectionary: 305

Reading 1 1 Sm 1:1-8

There was a certain man from Ramathaim, Elkanah by name,
a Zuphite from the hill country of Ephraim.
He was the son of Jeroham, son of Elihu,
son of Tohu, son of Zuph, an Ephraimite.
He had two wives, one named Hannah, the other Peninnah;
Peninnah had children, but Hannah was childless.
This man regularly went on pilgrimage from his city
to worship the LORD of hosts and to sacrifice to him at Shiloh,
where the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas,
were ministering as priests of the LORD.
When the day came for Elkanah to offer sacrifice,
he used to give a portion each to his wife Peninnah
and to all her sons and daughters,

but a double portion to Hannah because he loved her,
though the LORD had made her barren.
Her rival, to upset her, turned it into a constant reproach to her
that the LORD had left her barren.
This went on year after year;
each time they made their pilgrimage to the sanctuary of the LORD,
Peninnah
would approach her,
and Hannah would weep and refuse to eat.
Her husband Elkanah used to ask her:
“Hannah, why do you weep, and why do you refuse to eat?
Why do you grieve?
Am I not more to you than ten sons?”

Responsorial Psalm 116:12-13, 14-17, 18-19

My vows to the LORD I will pay

Gospel Mk 1:14-20

After John had been arrested,
Jesus came to Galilee proclaiming the Gospel of God:
“This is the time of fulfillment.
The Kingdom of God is at hand.
Repent, and believe in the Gospel.”

As he passed by the Sea of Galilee,
he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting their nets into the sea;
     they were fishermen.
Jesus said to them,
Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men.”
Then they left their nets and followed him.
He walked along a little farther
and saw James, the son of Zebedee, and his brother John.
They too were in a boat mending their nets.
Then he called them.
So they left their father Zebedee in the boat
 along with the hired men and followed him.”

Orthodox:
 17 By faith Abraham, when put to the test, offered up Isaac. He who had received the promises was ready to offer up his only son, 18 of whom he had been told, “It is through Isaac that descendants shall be named for you.” 19 He considered the fact that God is able even to raise someone from the dead—and figuratively speaking, he did receive him back. 20 By faith Isaac invoked blessings for the future on Jacob and Esau. 21 By faith Jacob, when dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, “bowing in worship over the top of his staff.” 22 By faith Joseph, at the end of his life, made mention of the exodus of the Israelites and gave instructions about his burial.[a]

The Faith of Moses

23 By faith Moses was hidden by his parents for three months after his birth, because they saw that the child was beautiful; and they were not afraid of the king’s edict.[b] 24 By faith Moses, when he was grown up, refused to be called a son of Pharaoh’s daughter, 25 choosing rather to share ill-treatment with the people of God than to enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin. 26 He considered abuse suffered for the Christ[c] to be greater wealth than the treasures of Egypt, for he was looking ahead to the reward. 27 By faith he left Egypt, unafraid of the king’s anger; for he persevered as though[d] he saw him who is invisible. 28 By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of blood, so that the destroyer of the firstborn would not touch the firstborn of Israel.[e]

The Faith of Other Israelite Heroes

29 By faith the people passed through the Red Sea as if it were dry land, but when the Egyptians attempted to do so they were drowned. 30 By faith the walls of Jericho fell after they had been encircled for seven days. 31 By faith Rahab the prostitute did not perish with those who were disobedient,[f] because she had received the spies in peace.”

The Demand for a Sign

11 The Pharisees came and began to argue with him, asking him for a sign from heaven, to test him. 12 And he sighed deeply in his spirit and said, “Why does this generation ask for a sign? Truly I tell you, no sign will be given to this generation.” 13 And he left them, and getting into the boat again, he went across to the other side.

The Yeast of the Pharisees and of Herod

14 Now the disciples[a] had forgotten to bring any bread; and they had only one loaf with them in the boat. 15 And he cautioned them, saying, “Watch out—beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod.”[b] 16 They said to one another, “It is because we have no bread.” 17 And becoming aware of it, Jesus said to them, “Why are you talking about having no bread? Do you still not perceive or understand? Are your hearts hardened? 18 Do you have eyes, and fail to see? Do you have ears, and fail to hear? And do you not remember? 19 When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you collect?” They said to him, “Twelve.” 20 “And the seven for the four thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you collect?” And they said to him, “Seven.” 21 Then he said to them, “Do you not yet understand?”

If you say you are a disciple of my Son, Jesus Christ, then you must follow His Teachings, without condition.

The Book of Truth:

Wednesday, January 7th, 2015, 16:30

Time is of no significance. What was given thousands of years ago to man, through the Word of God, has not changed, nor can it. Anything, which comes from God must remain intact, no matter how difficult this is. To remain true to God’s Teachings requires great strength, stamina and a willful determination.

Love is the way in which you can remain true to my Son but this love must be unconditional. It must never be sullied by love for yourself because this does not give glory to God. If you truly love God, you will remain loyal to the Word. If you say you are a disciple of my Son, Jesus Christ, then you must follow His Teachings, without condition. You must love one another as He loves you – without condition. You cannot say that you love God if you do not love one another. You cannot walk in His Footsteps if you do not forgive those who trespass against you.

It is only when you abide by the Laws of God that you will enter His Glorious Kingdom.


Your beloved Mother, Mother of Salvation”

Ask For The Grace Of Compunction

January 17, 2003

Eternal Joy of our hearts,
Revealer of the Truth, Essence of Faithfulness,
Indescribable Meekness, Kin to mankind,
Divine Illumination of our heart,
Sweetness of our soul,
Unutterable Joy of our being,
Divine Being for our being,
Enlightenment of our eyes,
Allow our wretched soul to derive nourishment
from all Your Divine Sayings
to strengthen us in compunction and meekness;

pupil, yes, ask for the grace of compunction, through the act of compunction the soul is led into a real metanoia; 1 bone of My Bone, flesh of My Flesh, allow Me to increase My rights in you to decrease everything that can interfere with My rights; in other words, allow Me to augment in you to fill where you lack; I want you to be found worthy of My Kingdom;

I have taken you as a tribute, grow, pupil, in your patience and tolerance, for I will complete in these two virtues all that you have been taught in your schooling with Me through faith; I have been sending you the Holy Spirit to teach you My Word and the holy saying from Wisdom; I have made My Message known and I have spread it easily because I had found no resistance from you, although ahead of you were interferences of evil and deluded spirits attacking you, for never having grasped in their resistance the Love of the Truth that could have opened their eyes, but even then, you glorified Me;

yes, even today these people’s vain glory is like a veil over their minds; their veil shall remain, unless they turn to Me and repent; their unreasonable and increasing reticence and fear of becoming deluded or being deceived has dulled their minds; they witness the bright light inundating from my Odes, yet even then, they wary for the wrong things, while that which should make them keep a wary eye, on elements that truly endanger My Church and its community, in their obscurity they fail to seize the Truth that could radiate the light of Knowledge of God and permeate all beings; the entire world is filled with error and the people are surprised of My Presence? they trample on My Body, am I not to react? I shall soon descend like the sun of Justice upon them;

and you, pupil, who are part of Me, I will use all the resources I have embedded in you to consolidate My Church, but also to draw venerable men2 into the Path of reconciliation; ic;”

Lectionary: 21

Reading 1 Is 42:1-4, 6-7

Thus says the LORD:
Here is my servant whom I uphold,
my chosen one with whom I am pleased,
upon whom I have
put my spirit;
he shall bring forth justice to the nations,

not crying out, not shouting,
not making his voice heard in the street.
a bruised reed he shall not break,
and a smoldering wick he shall not quench,
until he establishes justice on the earth;
the coastlands will wait for his teaching.

I, the LORD, have called you for the victory of justice,
I have grasped you by the hand;
I formed you, and set you
as a covenant of the people,
a light for the nations,
to open the eyes of the blind,
to bring out prisoners from confinement,
and from the dungeon, those who live in darkness.

Responsorial Psalm Ps 29:1-2, 3-4, 3, 9-10

Give to the LORD the glory due his name;
adore the LORD in holy attire.

The voice of the LORD is over the waters,
the LORD, over vast waters.
The voice of the LORD is mighty;
the voice of the LORD is majestic.
R/ The Lord will bless his people with peace.
The God of glory thunders,
and in his temple all say, “Glory!”
The LORD is enthroned above the flood;
the LORD is enthroned as king forever.

Peter proceeded to speak to those gathered
in the house of Cornelius, saying:
“In truth, I see that God shows no partiality.
Rather, in every nation whoever fears him and acts uprightly
is acceptable to him.
You know the word that he sent to the Israelites
as he proclaimed peace through Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all,
what has happened all over Judea,
beginning in Galilee after the baptism
that John preached,
how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth
with the Holy Spirit and power.

He went about doing good
and healing all those oppressed by the devil,
for God was with him.”

Jesus came from Galilee to John at the Jordan
to be baptized by him.
John tried to prevent him, saying,
“I need to be baptized by you,
and yet you are coming to me?”
Jesus said to him in reply,
“Allow it now, for thus it is fitting for us
to fulfill all righteousness.”
Then he allowed him.
After Jesus was baptized,
he came up from the water and behold,
the heavens were opened for him,
and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove
and coming upon him.
And a voice came from the heavens, saying,
“This is my beloved
Son, with whom I am well pleased.””

Jesus Appears to Mary Magdalene

11 But Mary stood weeping outside the tomb. As she wept, she bent over to look[a] into the tomb; 12 and she saw two angels in white, sitting where the body of Jesus had been lying, one at the head and the other at the feet. 13 They said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping?” She said to them, “They have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid him.” 14 When she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not know that it was Jesus. 15 Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you looking for?” Supposing him to be the gardener, she said to him, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away.” 16 Jesus said to her, “Mary!” She turned and said to him in Hebrew,[b]Rabbouni!” (which means Teacher). 17 Jesus said to her, “Do not hold on to me, because I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go to my brothers and say to them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’” 18 Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord”; and she told them that he had said these things to her.

But each of us was given grace according to the measure of Christ’s gift. Therefore it is said,

“When he ascended on high he made captivity itself a captive;
    he gave gifts to his people.”

(When it says, “He ascended,” what does it mean but that he had also descended[a] into the lower parts of the earth? 10 He who descended is the same one who ascended far above all the heavens, so that he might fill all things.) 11 The gifts he gave were that some would be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and teachers, 12 to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, 13 until all of us come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to maturity, to the measure of the full stature of Christ.

Jesus Begins His Ministry in Galilee

12 Now when Jesus[a] heard that John had been arrested, he withdrew to Galilee. 13 He left Nazareth and made his home in Capernaum by the sea, in the territory of Zebulun and Naphtali, 14 so that what had been spoken through the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled:

15 “Land of Zebulun, land of Naphtali,
    on the road by the sea, across the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles—
16 the people who sat in darkness
    have seen a great light,
and for those who sat in the region and shadow of death
      light  has dawned.”

17 From that time Jesus began to proclaim, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.”[b] …”

My dearest daughter, humanity has turned against Me and all that I created in My Image and, for that, My Sorrow is great.

My children will be saved by the Intervention of My dearly beloved Son, Jesus Christ, and this will take place very soon. Before this day I ask all those who love Me to acknowledge the Truth; My Son and His Love to pray for His Mercy.

You, who love My Son, must remember His Promise to redeem the world and eradicate sin before His Glorious Kingdom descends. Life of the body and the soul will be eternal and those who accept My Son’s Mercy will gain this great Gift. Those who don’t, will not.

Come, My children, and accept My Word for it is eternal and nothing will destroy it. My adversary seethes with anger at this time because he knows that the world will be rid of his influence and he will unleash terrible hardships upon those souls he desires to deny, the Gift of eternal life.

You will be tested beyond endurance in your faith in the most Holy Blessed Trinity, and many of you will fall. True faith requires real trust and, unless you trust in the promises made by My Son, you will become separated from Him.

Every single child of Mine will be given the proof of My Existence shortly. When this sign is given, do not doubt it, for it is to bring you into My Refuge that I bequeath it to you.

Many signs have been given to the world of My Existence and now I bring you much more. Fear not for I will pursue every soul and there is not one amongst you that I do not love with a tender heart. I love My enemies, including those who torture Me with their wickedness. But, soon, the Gift I will bring them will awaken a dormant love for their Creator within their hearts. Their love and My Divine Love, combined, will defeat evil. I will wipe away all their fears and tears.

You, My dear children, will be given this Gift when you are least expecting it. For, that time is drawing nearer and the face of the world will be changed forever and for the good of all.

My Power exceeds all that is of this world and beyond it. My Kingdom is everlasting.

Your beloved Father, God the Most High ”

We must work together, children, for the sake of all of mankind, in our battle to prevent the antichrist (16/02/2012)
