Mother of Salvation: When a mission, which professes to speak the Word of God, is false there will be no hatred shown towards it

November 8, 2013fatherofloveandmercy

My dear children, as God’s cherished little ones, you must never allow disagreements to turn into hatred for one another. The evil one creates terrible suffering amongst you by spreading his evil infestation and especially against God’s chosen visionaries and prophets.

When God is present in a Mission, which is sanctioned by Him on Earth, in order to save souls, Satan will always attack it. You will know God’s true prophets by the persecution and hatred, which is shown to them. You will know them by the public rejection of their missions and the wicked actions inflicted by others against them.

When a mission, which professes to speak the Word of God, is false there will be no hatred shown towards it, because Satan will never publicly attack those he deceives. When my Son makes Himself known, He will always be violated, as the sin of man separates him from God. When my Son walked the Earth, everywhere He went they screamed at Him. They cursed Him and threw stones at Him and all those who followed Him. And while they declared Him to be a fraud, they fawned over the many false prophets, who tried to compete with Him. The same will be true as He makes His final journey to gather up all those who remain in Him and with Him.

He will unite all those who live by His Teachings and who remain true and humble servants. Then, with the help of His Remnant Church, He will fight to the bitter end to salvage as many souls as possible, including the souls of all His enemies and all those who refuse to accept Him.

If you love my Son, you must never hurt Him by hating one another. My Son has told you that you cannot remain in union with Him when there is hatred in your heart.

Pray, pray, pray that all of you who declare yourselves to be Christians will follow the example set by my Son.

Your beloved Mother

The more you are hated, My disciples, the more you are loved by God

The Book of Truth:

The more you are hated, My disciples, the more you are loved by God

September 10, 2013fatherofloveandmercy

My dearly beloved daughter, don’t you know that, as more of you follow My Messages, you will be tormented by those who wish to silence My Voice?

As this Mission continues, by the Command of My beloved Father, every effort will be made by those, especially in My Church on Earth who oppose these Holy Messages, to force you to stop following them. These objections will increase and every kind of twisted logic, arrogant denial of the Truth and falsified theology, will be used to drown out the Voice of God.

The more you are hated, My disciples, the more you are loved by God, because only those who follow Me and live their lives according to My Teachings will suffer in this way. If you are exalted, favoured and chosen by the world as a living saint, where no fault is found or the error of your ways publicly identified, then you are not chosen by God, for you defy what is expected of God’s servants. Without expressing the Truth and by twisting My Truth, in order to excel yourselves in the eyes of the world, you will be thrown to one side while I seek out My true servants. 

My true servants love Me and are moved by My Holy Spirit. Their sorrow, which is expressed in their eyes, because they suffer with Me, can be seen clearly by those who have been given the Gift of the Holy Spirit themselves. Never do these pure souls condemn others or try to block the Word of God, for they are incapable of doing this.

You must pray hard at this time – all of you – for these holy servants of Mine are under attack because of Me. I stand with them, but many will fall and crumble under the pressure to remain silent when they are forced to present to their flock the doctrine of lies to come.

Your Jesus

Love only comes from Me. Hatred does not

The Book of Truth:

Love only comes from Me. Hatred does not

May 16, 2013fatherofloveandmercy

My dearly beloved daughter, it will be by the Power of Love that humanity can and will be saved. The Love I speak of is God’s Love, which flows in the hearts of mankind. God’s Love is present in the hearts of all His children, including those who deny Him. It will be your love for one another, which will sustain you during the trials, which lie ahead. Show love and charity to your neighbour and be kind to the poor, the weak and the helpless and I will make you Mine for eternity.

To those amongst you who deal harshly with others, who inflict pain on those over whom you rule and who whisper malice about others, you will be like empty vessels with nothing to offer Me.

You must always follow My Teachings. Love only comes from Me. Hatred does not. Those who say they honour Me and speak evil of others, although they claim to uphold My Word and guard My Name – they do not honour Me.

They insult Me and their shame will become evident on the Great Day. Never, for one moment, think that you can live without love in your hearts for others, for if you don’t have love for others then you deny the Gift, which is given freely to all of God’s children. When you love Me truly, you will treat others with love and respect.

When you are cruel to others, speak ill of them or unfairly criticise them, then you reject the Love I bestow on you. In its place is hatred. Hatred for another human being comes from Satan.

When you allow hatred to harden your soul, you distance yourself from Me and you will be deeply agitated within your soul.

When you love another in My Name, you will do this through your words, your deeds and acts of charity. Love of God, lived according to His wishes, through His children, can save humanity. Love conquers evil. Satan’s power is destroyed in an instant when you show love to others who treat you badly. You must work hard to allow love to envelop you, so that you can spread this great grace to others.

Love breeds love in others. Love brings life. Love brings forgiveness. Love destroys evil. Without love evil will thrive.

Your Jesus

Satan will cast a cloak of hatred over you.

The Book of Truth:

Hatred is the cause of all evil in the world and it takes many forms.

August 26, 2012fatherofloveandmercy

My dearly beloved daughter, hatred is the cause of all evil in the world and it takes many forms.

Hostility towards another person springs from fear, the fear that this person may hurt you in some way.

Disagreements with another person can come about because of the sin of pride. This is when you feel that you must prove your worth, at all costs, even if you are wrong.

Jealousy very soon turns to hatred although it can be mild to begin with.

Dislike of oneself begins because you compare your life with others whom you feel have better fortune than you.

Very soon this dislike develops into hatred of oneself and one’s body. This then leads into sins of the flesh.

Hatred may also develop because of the sin of coveting another’s possessions.

This can lead to war when one country covets the riches of another.

Or it can mean allowing greed to consume your soul when you crave the same worldly riches as your neighbour.

Envy also turns into a form of hatred especially when, no matter how hard you try to emulate another, you fail to achieve what you set out to do.

All sins, if allowed to fester, can lead you towards hatred.

When you feel hatred you must know that Satan has managed to invade your spirit.

When this happens he will hold you in a vice-like grip and will not leave you alone.

No matter how much you try to release his grip, he will hold onto you for dear life. Your only weapon is prayer.

Pray, pray, pray when hatred surges through you. For until it leaves you, you can never feel peace, love or joy again.

When hatred takes hold of your heart and soul, you become one step further removed from Me, your Jesus.

You suffer terribly and feel an anger and a helplessness which you cannot control.

Never believe the final lie which Satan will plant in your soul, when he has cast a cloak of hatred over you.

The lie is this. Your hatred can only be dissipated when you seek final revenge on the target of your hatred.

What to do when hatred envelops you? The power of love can evaporate hatred, instantly.

When you pray and ask me to help you My answer will be this.

Forgive your adversaries and those whom you believe are the cause of your hatred.

But to forgive you must humble yourself before Me and ask Me to forgive you first.

Once you forgive those you hate you must then atone for your sin.

Show your adversaries love. Fight hatred, a wicked and dangerous disease of the soul, with love.

Love is the cure to rid your soul of this infestation.

When you can do this you will have defeated Satan and he will leave you be.

Never be afraid to fight hatred in your soul even though you will find it very difficult.

If hatred could be diluted in this way, through the humility of the sinner, peace would reign in the world.

Your Jesus”

The Book of Truth:

I was accused of heresy and blasphemy when I walked the Earth

December 26, 2011fatherofloveandmercy

I Am your Jesus, Who never leaves you, no matter how much you suffer. I Am the Alpha and the Omega, Son of God made man and born of the Immaculate Virgin Mary.

My dearly beloved daughter, rise above this sudden burst of suffering and never forget the number of souls you are saving in the process.

My children must suffer purification in order that their souls be cleansed at this time. So they must get used to this. Many of My children are still being purified before The Warning takes place. They will understand why this is happening to them in time, My daughter.

The angels are with you all the time, like never before. For you, My daughter, you will now attract the greatest number of attacks, so far, because of these Messages.

Every Word I utter will now be pulled asunder.

Every lesson and Truth I try to impart to the world now, will be questioned and deemed to be blasphemous.

My Holy Word, when taught to My followers when I walked the Earth was also criticized.

I was accused of heresy, blasphemy and for condoning sinners, when I walked among My people. My Word was not accepted then in many quarters and especially among the priests and Pharisees.

My daughter, those people, whose boastful taunts, because of their self-proclaimed Scriptural knowledge, continue to attack these Messages, will be the worst offenders. They will arrogantly argue that their flawed interpretation of the Holy Gospel is more important than the Truth.

Their pride prevents them from recognizing My Voice when it is being imparted to the world today.

Never engage with these poor souls, My daughter, for they are not of the Light. Sadly, they believe themselves to be. Remember, those who look down and sneer at others in My Name do not represent Me.

They do not show love, understanding or humility.

These attacks are being mounted to stop you in this Work and to create new doubts in your mind. Pray for these people. Ignore them. Focus only on My Voice and do not allow this Sacred Work to be affected in this way.

Satan is working actively within these souls and will use every form of cunning argument to undermine these Messages from My Lips. By engaging or responding to these attacks, you give Satan the power he seeks.

Go now in peace. Keep looking ahead and remain obedient to My wishes at all times. Remember you have given Me the gift of your free will. Allow Me, therefore, to guide you.

Trust in Me completely.

I love you.

Your Jesus”

The Book of Truth:

Significance and Power of Prayer

March 24, 2011fatherofloveandmercy

My dearly beloved daughter, it is with great joy that I reunite with you this evening. You are now filled with the grace of discernment and are very clear as to the right path you must follow.

Finally, having surrendered in union with Me, you are now free. Free of doubts, clear of conscience, stronger than before and ready to reveal to the world My Promise. My Word will convey the urgency needed to be prepared to open up your hearts to the moment when all will be shown their sins.

By being prepared and forewarned, many, many more souls can be saved. The higher the conversion, the weaker then, will be the persecution, which will follow. My daughter, never become complacent, neither should you be fearful of future events. All will pass and in its place, a happier world with greater love everywhere.

Messages simply to remind all of God’s Existence

Tell My people everywhere that these Messages are simply to remind all God’s children that He Exists. They must also realise that their souls are the most important part of their human make-up. To look after their souls is vital if they are to share in the wonderful future that awaits all.

People simply need to remind themselves of the Ten Commandments and honour them. Then all they need is to follow My Teachings and live their lives as I have told them.

The reason I give prophecies is to prove to My beloved followers that a Divine intervention is taking place. By doing this I hope they will open their hearts to allow the Truth to sink in.

Divine Love brings Peace

Many people pay lip service to My Teachings. For others, they find them boring and tedious. By imitating Me, they are afraid they will miss out on the comfort they believe that material things will bring into their lives. What they fail to understand is that the only real comfort they can possibly experience is Divine Love. This Love can only come into your life by drawing closer, through simple prayer, to Me and My Eternal Father. Once you experience this peace, you will find yourself free from worries and stresses.

No amount of false stimulants can match the euphoria that comes about when you become close to My Heart. Not only does this love pierce your entire body, mind and soul, it enables you to live a freer life. You will experience a deep contentment unknown to you before. Then you will be taken aback at how little the world of material luxury appeals any more. You will lose interest in these things and this will surprise you.

O children, if you could only try to come close to Me, you will finally become free. No longer will you feel an empty despair in your soul. Instead you will be calmer, in less of a hurry, have more time to show interest in others and feel at peace. This will radiate from you. Others will be naturally drawn to you. You will wonder why. Don’t be afraid, for this is the grace of God at work. When you are filled with grace, it is infectious and then it spreads to others through love. Then the cycle continues.

Please remember, children, therefore, the significance of prayer. The power it yields and the speed at which it travels to envelop all those fortunate souls who are drawn into this cloud of love.

Satan’s web of deceit causes fear

Just as prayer and love for one another gains momentum, so too does the hatred that spews forth from Satan. The deceiver, working through these people who have no faith, or who are dabbling in dark spiritual games, spreads his deceit. His web of hatred traps even those on the farthest perimeter, who may feel that they are living a reasonably good life. This subtle web can entrap anyone who is not careful.

The one common denominator all those who become trapped feel is unrest, anxiety, despair and fear. This fear turns into hatred very quickly.

Run to Me, all of you. Do not wait until your life is turned upside down by unnecessary grief. Because I Am always there, watching, waiting, hoping that each of you will let your pride fall away, so that I can step in and embrace you. Go into your church and pray to Me. Speak to Me at home, on your way to work. Wherever you are, just call out to Me. You will know fairly quickly how I respond.

Wake up, children. Don’t you realise by now that you need Me? When will you finally open your closed hearts and let Me in? Do not waste valuable time, for your own sakes and that of your families. I Am Love.

You need My Love to quench your dehydrated and malnourished souls. My Love, once you experience it, will lift your spirit and allow you to feel real love again. This love will then open your mind to the Truth – the promises I made for each one of you when I died for your sins on the Cross.

I love you, children. Please show Me the love I implore of you. Don’t remain lost to Me. There is little time, children, to turn back to Me. Don’t delay.

Your loving Saviour

Jesus Christ”

Monday of Holy Week

Lectionary: 257

Reading I

Is 42:1-7

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.

Thus says God, the LORD,
who created the heavens and stretched them out,
who spreads out the earth with its crops,
Who gives breath to its people
and spirit to those who walk on it:
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

27:1, 2, 3, 13-14

R.    (1a)  The Lord is my light and my salvation.
The LORD is my light and my salvation;
whom should I fear?
The LORD is my life’s refuge;
of whom should I be afraid?
R.    The Lord is my light and my salvation.
When evildoers come at me
to devour my flesh,
My foes and my enemies
themselves stumble and fall.
R.    The Lord is my light and my salvation.
Though an army encamp against me,
my heart will not fear;
Though war be waged upon me,
even then will I trust.
R.    The Lord is my light and my salvation.
I believe that I shall see the bounty of the LORD
in the land of the living.
Wait for the LORD with courage;
be stouthearted, and wait for the LORD.
R.    The Lord is my light and my salvation.

Verse before the Gospel

Hail to you, our King;
you alone are compassionate with our faults.

Gospel

Jn 12:1-11

Six days before Passover Jesus came to Bethany,
where Lazarus was, whom Jesus had raised from the dead.
They gave a dinner for him there, and Martha served,
while Lazarus was one of those reclining at table with him.
Mary took a liter of costly perfumed oil
made from genuine aromatic nard
and anointed the feet of Jesus and dried them with her hair;
the house was filled with the fragrance of the oil.
Then Judas the Iscariot, one of his disciples,
and the one who would betray him, said,
“Why was this oil not sold for three hundred days’ wages
and given to the poor?”
He said this not because he cared about the poor
but because he was a thief and held the money bag
and used to steal the contributions.
So Jesus said,
“Leave her alone.
Let her keep this for the day of my burial.
You always have the poor with you,
but you do not always have me.” *

The large crowd of the Jews found out that he was there and came,
not only because of him, but also to see Lazarus,
whom he had raised from the dead.
And the chief priests plotted to kill Lazarus too,
because many of the Jews were turning away
and believing in Jesus because of him.”

Disciples of Isaiah

16 Bind up the testimony, seal the teaching among my disciples. 17 I will wait for the Lord, who is hiding his face from the house of Jacob, and I will hope in him. 18 See, I and the children whom the Lord has given me are signs and portents in Israel from the Lord of hosts, who dwells on Mount Zion. 19 Now if people say to you, “Consult the ghosts and the familiar spirits that chirp and mutter; should not a people consult their gods, the dead on behalf of the living, 20 for teaching and for instruction?” surely, those who speak like this will have no dawn! 21 They will pass through the land,[a] greatly distressed and hungry; when they are hungry, they will be enraged and will curse[b] their king and their gods.

Speak to Me at home, on your way to work. Wherever you are, just call out to Me. You will know fairly quickly how I respond. …”

„… The Righteous Reign of the Coming King

9 [d] But there will be no gloom for those who were in anguish. In the former time he brought into contempt the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, but in the latter time he will make glorious the way of the sea, the land beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations.

2 [e] The people who walked in darkness
have seen a great
light;
those who lived in a land of deep
darkness—
on them light has shined.
3 You have multiplied the nation,
you have
increased its joy;
they rejoice
before you
as with joy at the harvest,
as people exult when dividing plunder.

4 For the yoke of their burden,
and the bar across their shoulders,
the rod of their oppressor,
you have broken as on the day of Midian.
5 For all the boots of the tramping warriors
and all the garments rolled in blood
shall be burned as fuel for the fire.
6 For a child has been born for us,
a son given to us;
authority rests upon his shoulders;
and he is named
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
7 His authority shall grow continually,
and there shall be endless peace
for the throne of David and his kingdom.
He will establish and uphold it
with justice and with righteousness
from this time onward and forevermore.
The zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this

1313. Trust is the key to true love

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”

 
 
 

Saturday, January 10th, 2015, 15:36… 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. …

True Life in God:

The Amen

July 17, 1996

(A prayer to the Holy Spirit.)

O Light!
O Inaccessible Light thrice Holy,

Come! descend now
and come not only on those who invoke You
because they have heard of You,
but come also on those who have never known You!

Come! O Lamp of our body!
Come and correct all those who have never understood You;

Come to all those who fear You,
Come and unveil Your hidden treasures,
these treasures kept for our times,

Come! come and reveal
the Father and the Son’s Holy Countenances;
Come and reveal Yourself, Holy Spirit!
Come my Friend,
for You are the dazzling Light of our heart,
Come from on high
and clothe us with Your power and splendour;

Come and lodge inside us
and make out of Your Dwelling,
a place of prayer,
for You are the Constant Prayer;

See how naked we are now without You?
Come and shine Your Light in this
darkness;
You are The Promise, You are our Love,

You are our Light,
Yes! You are The Promise!

You are the One of whom Scriptures say:
“It will never be night again
and they will not need lamplight or sunlight,
because the Lord God will be shining on them.” 1

You are our Pledge of our inheritance,
Holy be Your Name and Blessed;
You are the priceless and inestimable pearl;
You are the radiance of our soul,
You are The Banquet and our festivity,
You are the Irresistible Companion of our life,
You are the Throne of the poor in spirit,
You are the Kingdom of kingdoms, the Empire of the empires,

O Visitor of our soul,
Come and free us!
Amen.

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.)

…”

 
 
 
 
 
 

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.

Alleluia 1 Thes 2:13

R. Alleluia, alleluia.

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]

1279. Mother of Salvation: The false church of darkness will be lifeless

The Book of Truth:
Thursday, November 27th, 2014, 08:40

 

My dear children, the false church – the one that will replace my Son’s Church on earth – has been prepared and all the heresies will be cleverly concealed between the paragraphs of the new missal, which will replace the old.

The false church of darkness will be built to replace the old after the great inferno. All that was present in my Son’s Church will be replaced with all that will be new. But, one thing will never change. The foundations, upon which my Son’s Church was built, will not move as they are firmly planted in the ground. No man will, nor can, move them because God will not permit this.

The church of darkness will be lifeless. No fruit will it yield as it will be built on rotten soil. Every kind of heresy will spring from the mouths of those who will preach from its pulpits. It will become a den of iniquity and nothing that will be proclaimed by the voices, which will boast of its greatness, will make any sense.

Those will be the days when many Christians, too frightened, too tired and lacking in any real faith, will worship within its walls. It will not be my Son they will worship, but the antichrist, for it will be he who will sit on the throne, which they will erect within its walls.

The antichrist will rule close by to where my Son built His Church and many people will believe it to be of Him but that would be the biggest error. Anyone who objects to this church, or who finds fault with it, will be ridiculed and accused of heresy by those traitors of my Son, who will, themselves, be the greatest heretics ever to infiltrate the Church of God, since the day of its inception.

Pray, pray, pray that there will remain a strong army of my Son’s priests who will never give into the pressures, which lie ahead.

Your beloved Mother, Mother of Salvation”

True Life in God:

I Am Multiplying My Fruit

 

 
 
Thursday, November 27th, 2014, 19:50

My dearly beloved daughter, much of the suffering experienced by men, in the years ahead, will be that of the spirit.


The spiritual suffering will be felt not only by My followers, who remain true to the Word of God, but by all men, irrespective as to what they believe. Satan and his demons, from the highest ranking to the lowliest, roam throughout the world, spreading hatred amongst God’s children. Hatred has gripped the human race and can be seen in many ways. When Satan tempts a soul into a cocoon of hatred, he does this by creating a feeling of jealousy in the vulnerable person and soon this turns into hatred. Hatred is spreading and it affects every age.


The spirit of love and charity, once present in the hearts of mankind, has weakened and this means that the love, which joined communities, nations and countries together, has been broken. People have lost love in
their lives because they no longer revere Me. I, Jesus Christ, have been forgotten. So busy are they in dealing with worldly matters that they have created, for themselves, a very lonely existence. Once love is missing in your lives, a great part of you is left to dry up and withers like a starving plant. God is Love, and when love is present in the world, there is greater harmony and peace. The opposite to love is hatred, which comes from the devil. If you allow hatred to fill your hearts, it will fester inside you and grow like a cancer until it devours you. Hatred destroys lives and creates terrible divisions. It poisons your soul. It creates deep unhappiness in the souls of those who have allowed it to dictate every action they take. Hatred spreads from one soul to another very quickly because, once you engage with a person who is full of hatred, it will gain a grip over you by tempting you to listen to every reason given to justify it.Christians, who allow hatred to infest them, must never succumb to using My Holy Name to incite hatred of any kind against another human being. You must ask Me to rid your soul of hatred because if you allow it take over your soul, you will never see My Face.Use the time accorded to you, to love Me more, for when you truly love Me, this love will be reciprocated. You will then be incapable of taking part in any kind of dialogue where hatred is present.Love Me and you will find it easier to love others. If you hate another person you do not know Me.

Your Jesus”

True Life in God:
Repent And Convert Now That There Is Still Time

July 3, 1988  

(Rhodes)

My Lord?

peace be with you child; My Ecclesia will revive, but before this renewal She will suffer even more; 1 She is in the beginning of Her Tribulations;

here, take a look at My Cup of Justice;

(I looked at a beautiful gold Cup decorated with precious stones; it was full to the brim, if one would move it, it would surely spill.)

see how full it is? it is very near to spill over; it will only pour out on you, creation, revealing the anathema prophesied long ago; you will be plunged into darkness; I will come to you like a thief, unexpected;

I have been giving you warnings, I have been giving you signs to stay alert but you are rejecting them, you are unwilling to acknowledge the End of Times, no matter how much I try to warn you, your disbelief in Me is total; My Warning will be like a purge to convert you and this will be done out of great pity; alas for you, creation! alas for you disbelievers who will intensify your disbelief and turn even more against Me; your spirit enveloped by obscurity will be pulled as in a current by Obscurity himself; 2

creation! how I pity you, how I suffer to see you lost forever; My children in whom I breathed, raising you to life, consecrating you before you were born, return to Me! My Heart lacerates to see how many will be drawn in this current into total obscurity and eternal damnation!

creation, although your sins are scarlet red I am all so willing to forgive you; come, come to Me, return to Me, your Father; I will welcome you and treat you a thousand times more lovingly than the father of the prodigal son; return to Me before My Cup brims over; return before My Justice blows on you, arousing limitless blisters upon you, scorching you and every other living thing around you; you would want to breathe but you will only inhale a scorching wind burning you inwardly and leaving you as a living torch!

creation, understand how imminent this Hour has become, for today you see the trees still blooming, but tomorrow there will be none left; you will be covered by Satan’s smoke, a deadly veil; O do understand that these disasters and calamities are drawn upon you by your evil doings; by your apostasy, and by rebelling against Me; repent now that there is still time, convert now! I am ready to forgive you;

Vassula, allow Me to use you;

Yes, Lord, let everything be according to Your Will.

please Me, obey Me your Lord; I will never abandon you; My Sacred Heart gives you My Peace;”

Roman Catholic:

Wednesday of the Thirty-fourth Week in Ordinary Time
Lectionary: 505

Reading 1 Dn 5:1-6, 13-14, 16-17, 23-28

King Belshazzar gave a great banquet for a thousand of his lords,
with whom he drank.
Under the influence of the wine,
he ordered the gold and silver vessels
which Nebuchadnezzar, his father,
had taken from the temple in Jerusalem,
to be brought in so that the king, his lords,
his wives and his entertainers might drink from them.
When the gold and silver vessels
taken from the house of God in Jerusalem had been brought in,
and while the king, his lords, his wives and his entertainers
were drinking wine from them,
they praised their gods of gold and silver,
bronze and iron, wood and stone.
Suddenly, opposite the lampstand,
the fingers of a human hand appeared,
writing on the plaster of the wall in the king’s palace.
When the king saw the wrist and hand that wrote, his face blanched;
his thoughts terrified him, his hip joints shook,
and his knees knocked.
Then Daniel was brought into the presence of the king.
The king asked him, “Are you the Daniel, the Jewish exile,
whom my father, the king, brought from Judah?
I have heard that the Spirit of God is in you,
that you possess brilliant knowledge and extraordinary wisdom.
I have heard that you can interpret dreams and solve difficulties;
if you are able to read the writing and tell me what it means,
you shall be clothed in purple,
wear a gold collar about your neck,
and be third in the government of the kingdom.”Daniel answered the king:
“You may keep your gifts, or give your presents to someone else;
but the writing I will read for you, O king,
and tell you what it means.
You have rebelled against the Lord of heaven.
You had the vessels of his temple brought before you,
so that you and your nobles, your wives and your entertainers,
might drink wine from them;
and you praised the gods of silver and gold,
bronze and iron, wood and stone,
that neither see nor hear nor have intelligence.
But the God in whose hand is your life breath
and the whole course of
your life, you did not glorify.
By him were the wrist and hand sent, and the writing set down.
“This is the writing that was inscribed:
MENE, TEKEL, and PERES.
These words mean:
MENE, God has numbered your kingdom and put an end to it;
TEKEL, you have been weighed on the scales and found wanting;
PERES, your kingdom has been divided and given to the Medes and Persians.”

Responsorial Psalm Daniel 3:62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67

R.(59b) Give glory and eternal praise to him.
“Sun and moon, bless the Lord;
praise and exalt him above all forever.”

Jesus said to the crowd:
“They will seize and persecute you,
they will hand you over to the synagogues and to prisons,
and they will have you led before kings and governors
because of my name.
It will lead to your giving testimony.
Remember, you are not to prepare your defense beforehand,
for I myself shall give you a wisdom in speaking
that all your adversaries will be powerless to resist or refute.
You will even be handed over by parents,
brothers, relatives, and friends,
and they will put some of you to death.

You will be hated by all because of my name,
but not a hair on your head will be destroyed.
By your perseverance you will secure your lives.””

A Life Pleasing to God

4.1 Finally, brothers and sisters,[a] we ask and urge you in the Lord Jesus that, as you learned from us how you ought to live and to please God (as, in fact, you are doing), you should do so more and more. For you know what instructions we gave you through the Lord Jesus. For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you abstain from fornication; that each one of you know how to control your own body[b] in holiness and honor, not with lustful passion, like the Gentiles who do not know God; that no one wrong or exploit a brother or sister[c] in this matter, because the Lord is an avenger in all these things, just as we have already told you beforehand and solemnly warned you. For God did not call us to impurity but in holiness. Therefore whoever rejects this rejects not human authority but God, who also gives his Holy Spirit to you.

Now concerning love of the brothers and sisters,[d] you do not need to have anyone write to you, for you yourselves have been taught by God to love one another; 10 and indeed you do love all the brothers and sisters[e] throughout Macedonia. But we urge you, beloved,[f] to do so more and more, 11 to aspire to live quietly, to mind your own affairs, and to work with your hands, as we directed you, 12 so that you may behave properly toward outsiders and be dependent on no one.

The Authority of Jesus Questioned

20.1 One day, as he was teaching the people in the temple and telling the good news, the chief priests and the scribes came with the elders and said to him, “Tell us, by what authority are you doing these things? Who is it who gave you this authority?” He answered them, “I will also ask you a question, and you tell me: Did the baptism of John come from heaven, or was it of human origin?” They discussed it with one another, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will say, ‘Why did you not believe him?’ But if we say, ‘Of human origin,’ all the people will stone us; for they are convinced that John was a prophet.” So they answered that they did not know where it came from. Then Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.”
