When they say, “There is peace and security,” then sudden destruction will come upon them

In November this year, the UN erected a monument called “PEACE AND SECURITY.”

The Book of Truth:

My children have been stripped bare in this year of Purification

December 15, 2011fatherofloveandmercy

My dearest daughter, the year of purification is almost complete and My children everywhere are now prepared for The Warning as a result.

Many of My children have suffered terribly in 2011. Wars, violence, murder and hatred, all of which was masterminded by Satan’s army, have maimed and killed those precious souls of Mine. These wicked powers will suffer a terrible punishment if they do not repent after The Warning takes place.

Many of My children have been stripped bare of material comforts and have suffered hardships they have never had to endure before.

These trials were created and inflicted on mankind by Satan, but were allowed by Me in order to purify souls. Cruel, you may think, My daughter, but it was necessary to prepare humanity and to establish humility in their souls.

Now, more pure in My Eyes, their hearts have been opened to accept the Truth of their eternal life. This means that fewer will suffer during The Warning because they have undergone this persecution.

My children are now ready to receive My Gift of Mercy. This time is almost upon the world. Be patient, My daughter. Never expect Me to give the world a date, for it is not for your knowing as I have told you many times before.

Trust in Me completely and you will be at peace.

I will bring My Gift of The Warning when the time is right and when My children least expect it.

Your beloved Jesus
Redeemer of Mankind”

11 So I ask, have they stumbled so as to fall? By no means! But through their stumbling[b] salvation has come to the Gentiles, so as to make Israel[c] jealous. 12 Now if their stumbling[d] means riches for the world, and if their defeat means riches for Gentiles, how much more will their full inclusion mean!”

The Book of Truth:

Purgatory is not a place you should feel content to enter

Image October 7, 2011fatherofloveandmercy

My dearly beloved daughter, the reason I send so many Messages to My children is to help them prepare their souls in a way, which was not possible up to now.

Many of My children have not read the Holy Bible, nor are they aware of all My Teachings.

More time is spent by My sacred servants focusing on the part of My Teachings where I ask you all to love your neighbour, which is a good thing, no talk is made of the consequences facing mankind should they reject the Father.

Why do My sacred servants deny the existence of Hell and why do they paint a rosy picture of Purgatory?

My children have been taught many good things through the churches, which proclaim the Glory of God the Almighty Father. Sadly, though, the existence of Purgatory and Hell are played down to such an extent that My children have become complacent about their existence.

My children are being misled also about the existence of the evil one. Many of My sacred servants even deny his existence. O how foolish they are to believe that man can strengthen his faith without knowing or understanding the truth of the evil one’s power.

This lack of direction on the part of My sacred servants has meant that evil in the world has flourished in a way that could have been prevented through prayer. Satan has been allowed to roam freely on this Earth for some time because of the blindness of My sacred servants. If My children were made properly aware of the havoc caused by Satan, then prayer to mitigate his influence would have been much stronger.

The existence of Purgatory
The existence of Purgatory is misunderstood. Many believe that it is simply a waiting period of purification before souls can enter Heaven, for those souls who may not have been in a state of grace at the time of death. There are different levels in Purgatory, children, and all souls feel a burning pain of darkness, which intensifies the further down the level. This means that souls who narrowly missed being cast into Hell suffer the pain of burning the most. Although all souls in Purgatory will eventually enter My Father’s Kingdom, it is not a place where My children should feel content to enter. This is why you must fight sin and seek forgiveness as regularly as possible to remain in a state of grace. This is why you must obey the Ten Commandments at all times. This is why you must also pray for those souls who are there, because without your prayers they cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven until the final Day of Judgment.

It is time now to face the Truth, children.

Pray for the graces you need to be free of sin, so that you can enter Heaven. Be ready every day, for you do not know of the plans, which are already in place, which await you. I give you this Message so that the Truth is clear. These important Messages have not been presented to you clearly, children, over the decades. It is important that you are well prepared.

By reciting the Divine Mercy Chaplet every day at 3 PM I will intervene at the moment of death on your behalf, no matter how much of a sinner you are and show you My Mercy. I tell you this because I love you, not to frighten you, but to ensure you spread the Truth to your families.

My Word today is simply a reminder of the Truth to which you have been denied behind the mask of tolerance. It is a little like the parent of a child whom they spoil because they love the child so much. If the parent over feeds the child then the child’s health will suffer. Yet the parent keeps giving the child the food, which the child has now become used to out of misguided love. This can lead to the child’s deteriorating health. This child, in turn, becomes ignorant as to what healthy foods to eat, because he doesn’t know about them. He has never been told.

Go now and tell your brothers and sister the Truth about Hell and Purgatory before it is too late. Because if you don’t, no one else will.

Your Teacher and Divine Saviour
Jesus Christ”

Salutation

1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God,

To the saints who are in Ephesus and are faithful[a] in Christ Jesus:

2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Spiritual Blessings in Christ

3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, 4 just as he chose us in Christ[b] before the foundation of the world to be holy and blameless before him in love. 5 He destined us for adoption as his children through Jesus Christ, according to the good pleasure of his will, 6 to the praise of his glorious grace that he freely bestowed on us in the Beloved. 7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace 8 that he lavished on us. With all wisdom and insight 9 he has made known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure that he set forth in Christ, „

 

 

„17 This word about him spread throughout Judea and all the surrounding country.

Messengers from John the Baptist

18 The disciples of John reported all these things to him. So John summoned two of his disciples 19 and sent them to the Lord to ask, “Are you the one who is to come, or are we to wait for another?” 20 When the men had come to him, they said, “John the Baptist has sent us to you to ask, ‘Are you the one who is to come, or are we to wait for another?’” 21 Jesus[a] had just then cured many people of diseases, plagues, and evil spirits, and had given sight to many who were blind. 22 And he answered them, “Go and tell John what you have seen and heard: the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers[b] are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, the poor have good news brought to them. 23 And blessed is anyone who takes no offense at me.”

24 When John’s messengers had gone, Jesus[c] began to speak to the crowds about John:[d] “What did you go out into the wilderness to look at? A reed shaken by the wind? 25 What then did you go out to see? Someone[e] dressed in soft robes? Look, those who put on fine clothing and live in luxury are in royal palaces. 26 What then did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet. 27 This is the one about whom it is written,

‘See, I am sending my messenger ahead of you,
who will prepare your way before you.’

28 I tell you, among those born of women no one is greater than John; yet the least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.” 29 (And all the people who heard this, including the tax collectors, acknowledged the justice of God,[f] because they had been baptized with John’s baptism. 30 But by refusing to be baptized by him, the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected God’s purpose for themselves.)”

Mal 3:13-20b

You have defied me in word, says the LORD,
yet you ask, “What have we spoken against you?”
You have said, “It is vain to serve God,
and what do we profit by keeping his command,
And going about in penitential dress
in awe of the LORD of hosts?
Rather must we call the proud blessed;
for indeed evildoers prosper,
and even tempt God with impunity.”
Then they who fear the LORD spoke with one another,
and the LORD listened attentively;
And a record book was written before him
of those who fear the LORD and trust in his name.
And they shall be mine, says the LORD of hosts,
my own special possession, on the day I take action.
And I will have compassion on them,
as a man has compassion on his son who serves him.
Then you will again see the distinction
between the just and the wicked;
Between the one who serves God,
and the one who does not serve him.
For lo, the day is coming, blazing like an oven,
when all the proud and all evildoers will be stubble,
And the day that is coming will set them on fire,
leaving them neither root nor branch,
says the LORD of hosts.
But for you who fear my name, there will arise
the sun of justice with its healing rays.

Responsorial Psalm

1:1-2, 3, 4 and 6

R.    (Ps 40:5a) Blessed are they who hope in the Lord.
Blessed the man who follows not
the counsel of the wicked
Nor walks in the way of sinners,
nor sits in the company of the insolent,
But delights in the law of the LORD
and meditates on his law day and night.
R.    Blessed are they who hope in the Lord.
He is like a tree
planted near running water,
That yields its fruit in due season,
and whose leaves never fade.
Whatever he does, prospers.
R.    Blessed are they who hope in the Lord.
Not so the wicked, not so;
they are like chaff which the wind drives away.
For the LORD watches over the way of the just,
but the way of the wicked vanishes.
R.    Blessed are they who hope in the Lord.

Alleluia

See Acts 16:14b

R. Alleluia, alleluia.
Open your hearts, O Lord,
to listen to the words of your Son.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.

Gospel

Lk 11:5-13

Jesus said to his disciples:
“Suppose one of you has a friend
to whom he goes at midnight and says,
‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread,
for a friend of mine has arrived at my house from a journey
and I have nothing to offer him,’
and he says in reply from within,
‘Do not bother me; the door has already been locked
and my children and I are already in bed.
I cannot get up to give you anything.’
I tell you, if he does not get up to give him the loaves
because of their friendship,
he will get up to give him whatever he needs
because of his persistence.

“And I tell you, ask and you will receive;
seek and you will find;
knock and the door will be opened to you.
For everyone who asks, receives;
and the one who seeks, finds;
and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.
What father  among you would hand his son a snake
when he asks for a fish?
Or hand him a scorpion when he asks for an egg?
If you then, who are wicked,
know how to give good gifts to your children,
how much more will the Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit
to those who ask him?””

So too now will the Wrath of My Father be released in the world at this time. This, My daughter, is as I have told you the Year of Purification

The Book of Truth:

My beloved daughter, the Purification, which will be suffered by mankind through wars, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, heat waves and mudslides, is continuing because of the sins of mankind.

Only those who turn to Me, their Divine Saviour and their Creator, My Father, their Father, can be saved. Never look on My Father with fear for He loves all His children. Yet He will apply punishment to those who refuse to accept His Existence. His Patience now, as evil, lack of faith and man’s obscene love of himself continues, is coming to an end.

My Eternal Father, God the Maker and Creator of all, loves all His children with a tenderness that parents feel for their children. But just like parents, responsible parents do, their children are punished, if they commit acts, which are aggressive, or unacceptable. So too now will the Wrath of My Father be released in the world at this time. This, My daughter, is as I have told you the Year of Purification.

People everywhere will understand that these events are not natural. They are caused by Divine intervention to make man understand, finally, the Truth of the Scriptures.

Pray, pray for conversion.

2 Kgs 5:1-15ab

Naaman, the army commander of the king of Aram,
was highly esteemed and respected by his master,
for through him the LORD had brought victory to Aram.
But valiant as he was, the man was a leper.
Now the Arameans had captured in a raid on the land of Israel
a little girl, who became the servant of Naaman’s wife.
“If only my master would present himself to the prophet in Samaria,”
she said to her mistress, “he would cure him of his leprosy.”
Naaman went and told his lord
just what the slave girl from the land of Israel had said.
“Go,” said the king of Aram.
“I will send along a letter to the king of Israel.”
So Naaman set out, taking along ten silver talents,
six thousand gold pieces, and ten festal garments.
To the king of Israel he brought the letter, which read:
“With this letter I am sending my servant Naaman to you,
that you may cure him of his leprosy.”

When he read the letter,
the king of Israel tore his garments and exclaimed:
“Am I a god with power over life and death,
that this man should send someone to me to be cured of leprosy?
Take note! You can see he is only looking for a quarrel with me!”
When Elisha, the man of God,
heard that the king of Israel had torn his garments,
he sent word to the king:
“Why have you torn your garments?
Let him come to me and find out
that there is a prophet in Israel.”

Naaman came with his horses and chariots
and stopped at the door of Elisha’s house.
The prophet sent him the message:
“Go and wash seven times in the Jordan,
and your flesh will heal, and you will be clean.”
But Naaman went away angry, saying,
“I thought that he would surely come out and stand there
to invoke the LORD his God,
and would move his hand over the spot,
and thus cure the leprosy.
Are not the rivers of Damascus, the Abana and the Pharpar,
better than all the waters of Israel?
Could I not wash in them and be cleansed?”
With this, he turned about in anger and left.

But his servants came up and reasoned with him.
“My father,” they said,
“if the prophet had told you to do something extraordinary,
would you not have done it?
All the more now, since he said to you,
Wash and be clean,’ should you do as he said.”
So Naaman went down and plunged into the Jordan seven times
at the word of the man of God.
His flesh became again like the flesh of a little child, and he was clean.

He returned with his whole retinue to the man of God.
On his arrival he stood before him and said,
“Now I know that there is no God in all the earth,
except in Israel.”

Responsorial Psalm

42:2, 3; 43:3, 4

R.    (see 42:3) Athirst is my soul for the living God.
When shall I go and behold the face of God?

As the hind longs for the running waters,
so my soul longs for you, O God.
R.    Athirst is my soul for the living God.
When shall I go and behold the face of God?

Athirst is my soul for God, the living God.
When shall I go and behold the face of God?
R.    Athirst is my soul for the living God.
When shall I go and behold the face of God?

Send forth your light and your fidelity;
they shall lead me on
And bring me to your holy mountain,
to your dwelling-place.
R.    Athirst is my soul for the living God.
When shall I go and behold the face of God?

Then will I go in to the altar of God,
the God of my gladness and joy;
Then will I give you thanks upon the harp,
O God, my God!
R.    Athirst is my soul for the living God.
When shall I go and behold the face of God?

Verse before the Gospel

See Ps 130:5, 7

I hope in the LORD, I trust in his word;
with him there is kindness and plenteous redemption.

Gospel

Lk 4:24-30

Jesus said to the people in the synagogue at Nazareth:
“Amen, I say to you,
no prophet is accepted in his own native place.
Indeed, I tell you, there were many widows in Israel
in the days of Elijah
when the sky was closed for three and a half years
and a severe famine spread over the entire land.
It was to none of these that Elijah was sent,
but only to a widow in Zarephath in the land of Sidon.
Again, there were many lepers in Israel
during the time of Elisha the prophet;
yet not one of them was cleansed, but only Naaman the Syrian.”
When the people in the synagogue heard this,
they were all filled with fury.
They rose up, drove him out of the town,
and led him to the brow of the hill
on which their town had been built,
to hurl him down headlong.
But he passed through the midst of them and went away.”

„Salutation

1 The elder to the beloved Gaius, whom I love in truth.

Gaius Commended for His Hospitality

2 Beloved, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in good health, just as it is well with your soul. 3 I was overjoyed when some of the friends[a] arrived and testified to your faithfulness to the truth, namely how you walk in the truth. 4 I have no greater joy than this, to hear that my children are walking in the truth.

5 Beloved, you do faithfully whatever you do for the friends,[b] even though they are strangers to you; 6 they have testified to your love before the church. You will do well to send them on in a manner worthy of God; 7 for they began their journey for the sake of Christ,[c] accepting no support from non-believers.[d] 8 Therefore we ought to support such people, so that we may become co-workers with the truth.

Diotrephes and Demetrius

9 I have written something to the church; but Diotrephes, who likes to put himself first, does not acknowledge our authority. 10 So if I come, I will call attention to what he is doing in spreading false charges against us. And not content with those charges, he refuses to welcome the friends,[e] and even prevents those who want to do so and expels them from the church.

11 Beloved, do not imitate what is evil but imitate what is good. Whoever does good is from God; whoever does evil has not seen God. 12 Everyone has testified favorably about Demetrius, and so has the truth itself. We also testify for him,[f] and you know that our testimony is true.

Final Greetings

13 I have much to write to you, but I would rather not write with pen and ink; 14 instead I hope to see you soon, and we will talk together face to face.

15 Peace to you. The friends send you their greetings. Greet the friends there, each by name.

29 When he had come near Bethphage and Bethany, at the place called the Mount of Olives, he sent two of the disciples, 30 saying, “Go into the village ahead of you, and as you enter it you will find tied there a colt that has never been ridden. Untie it and bring it here. 31 If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ just say this, ‘The Lord needs it.’” 32 So those who were sent departed and found it as he had told them. 33 As they were untying the colt, its owners asked them, “Why are you untying the colt?” 34 They said, “The Lord needs it.” 35 Then they brought it to Jesus; and after throwing their cloaks on the colt, they set Jesus on it. 36 As he rode along, people kept spreading their cloaks on the road. 37 As he was now approaching the path down from the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to praise God joyfully with a loud voice for all the deeds of power that they had seen, 38 saying,

“Blessed is the king
who comes in the name of the Lord!
Peace in heaven,
and glory in the highest heaven!”

39 Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, order your disciples to stop.” 40 He answered, “I tell you, if these were silent, the stones would shout out.”

The Preparation of the Passover

7 Then came the day of Unleavened Bread, on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed. 8 So Jesus[a] sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and prepare the Passover meal for us that we may eat it.” 9 They asked him, “Where do you want us to make preparations for it?” 10 “Listen,” he said to them, “when you have entered the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you; follow him into the house he enters 11 and say to the owner of the house, ‘The teacher asks you, “Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?”’ 12 He will show you a large room upstairs, already furnished. Make preparations for us there.” 13 So they went and found everything as he had told them; and they prepared the Passover meal.

The Institution of the Lord’s Supper

14 When the hour came, he took his place at the table, and the apostles with him. 15 He said to them, “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer; 16 for I tell you, I will not eat it[b] until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.” 17 Then he took a cup, and after giving thanks he said, “Take this and divide it among yourselves; 18 for I tell you that from now on I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.” 19 Then he took a loaf of bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” 20 And he did the same with the cup after supper, saying, “This cup that is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood.[c] 21 But see, the one who betrays me is with me, and his hand is on the table. 22 For the Son of Man is going as it has been determined, but woe to that one by whom he is betrayed!” 23 Then they began to ask one another which one of them it could be who would do this.

The Dispute about Greatness

24 A dispute also arose among them as to which one of them was to be regarded as the greatest. 25 But he said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and those in authority over them are called benefactors. 26 But not so with you; rather the greatest among you must become like the youngest, and the leader like one who serves. 27 For who is greater, the one who is at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one at the table? But I am among you as one who serves.

28 “You are those who have stood by me in my trials; 29 and I confer on you, just as my Father has conferred on me, a kingdom, 30 so that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and you will sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial

31 “Simon, Simon, listen! Satan has demanded[d] to sift all of you like wheat, 32 but I have prayed for you that your own faith may not fail; and you, when once you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.” 33 And he said to him, “Lord, I am ready to go with you to prison and to death!” 34 Jesus[e] said, “I tell you, Peter, the cock will not crow this day, until you have denied three times that you know me.”

Purse, Bag, and Sword

35 He said to them, “When I sent you out without a purse, bag, or sandals, did you lack anything?” They said, “No, not a thing.” 36 He said to them, “But now, the one who has a purse must take it, and likewise a bag. And the one who has no sword must sell his cloak and buy one. 37 For I tell you, this scripture must be fulfilled in me, ‘And he was counted among the lawless’; and indeed what is written about me is being fulfilled.” 38 They said, “Lord, look, here are two swords.” He replied, “It is enough.”

Jesus Prays on the Mount of Olives

39 He came out and went, as was his custom, to the Mount of Olives; and the disciples followed him. „

Only those who turn to Me, their Divine Saviour and their Creator, My Father, their Father, can be saved. Never look on My Father with fear for He loves all His children. Yet He will apply punishment to those who refuse to accept His Existence. His Patience now, as evil, lack of faith and man’s obscene love of himself continues, is coming to an end.

My Eternal Father, God the Maker and Creator of all, loves all His children with a tenderness that parents feel for their children. But just like parents, responsible parents do, their children are punished, if they commit acts, which are aggressive, or unacceptable. So too now will the Wrath of My Father be released in the world at this time. This, My daughter, is as I have told you the Year of Purification.

People everywhere will understand that these events are not natural. They are caused by Divine intervention to make man understand, finally, the Truth of the Scriptures.

Pray, pray for conversion.

Your beloved Jesus Christ

Man being punished in this Year of Purification

March 11, 2011fatherofloveandmercy

2011 is the year for the time in which the changes – the purification – will commence and be witnessed by millions throughout the world

The Book of Truth:

Tonight, My dearly beloved daughter, you were given the graces to make you stronger to continue with this sacred Work. Through the devotion of My beloved and cherished followers, who have been praying hard for you, you, My daughter, will forge rapidly ahead to complete the Book of Truth. No matter how much you are distracted, you still find it hard to reject your duty to Me. This is pleasing to Me but we don’t have much time.

The world, My daughter, is being given this special Gift – the Book of Truth – to show My children what they now need to do in order to prepare for The Warning, the Illumination of Conscience, which is being given to mankind to help prepare them adequately for My Second Coming.

For those who don’t believe in Me they must still be given the chance to read the Truth. When this event takes place, after these Messages are given to the world, people will understand the authenticity of My Words given through you, My daughter, to save mankind.

Mystical Event to be experienced by all over 7 years of age
Don’t feel hurt when people dismiss these Messages, My daughter. Just be thankful that they are being given this Gift. They will understand the Truth of this prophecy, when after this Mystical Event, which will be experienced by all of My children over seven years of age, everywhere throughout the world, takes place.

Those who live after this event will be more cautious about the contents of this sacred Book. They will find it difficult to ignore, even if their faith is weak; others who don’t want to know the Truth still need to be reminded of the contents of this Work.

Never give up, My child, when it comes to saving souls. All My precious children were born out of the Love of My Eternal Father. When they lost their way it did not matter. God, My Eternal Father still loves each and every one of His children.

Faith, My child, can be rekindled by the faith of others blessed with the Holy Spirit. My chosen children, sent to spread My Word now, to the world, have the ability to bring tears of joy into those poor souls screaming out for direction in their empty confusing lives.

Look at everyone through My Eyes
Always look on your friends, family, neighbours and work colleagues through My Eyes. Always look for the good side. Show love to them and they will feel My Presence. They will be drawn to you and won’t know why.

Through My example, imitate Me and you will help Me convert My lost children. By praying hard for them you can draw them nearer to Me. Through sacrifice and the acceptance of suffering, in union with Me, you can save souls. This includes those souls yet to leave this Earth, as well as those awaiting Judgement in Purgatory.

Let Me remind you finally, that you have two choices. Believe in Me by opening your minds to the Truth contained in the Gospel. If you have lost all faith then read just a portion of My Teachings. Then ask Me to show you the Truth in your hearts. Then you will know which path will lead you to Me in Heaven. Alternatively, you can keep your eyes closed and refuse to listen. Only prayer, by believers can help you then. Prayer by My followers, combined with the recital of My Divine Chaplet of the Divine Mercy Gift, given to Sister Faustina in the 20th Century, can save your souls at the time of your death.

Pray the Divine Mercy
Pray, pray, pray My Divine Mercy for your own souls and those of non-believers, now. Prayer groups will help spread the Truth, instil faith in those who have lost all sense of who they are and where they came from. It will be instrumental in igniting the spread of evangelical enlightenment, which will now be felt in all parts of the world, as the time approaches for the prophecies in relation to My Second Coming on Earth begin to be revealed, as they unfold before a series of global events.

Be prepared, children, at all times. Keep in a state of grace and keep your hearts open to My Teachings of love and peace on Earth. If My children all followed My Teachings, then there would be no wars, greed, hatred or poverty in the world. You need to sit down quietly, every one of you, for just half-an-hour each day.

Go through the Psalms, the Parables and ask yourself, “Does this lesson apply to my life in today’s world?” You know the answer is, of course, yes.

Pray for the strength to change your attitudes and views on life after death. Remember this important lesson. Earth is simply a brief passage in time. The only true happiness and eternal life is with Me in Heaven, Paradise – My Father’s Kingdom.

Your loving Saviour
Jesus Christ”

Prepare for The Warning, the Illumination of Conscience

January 28, 2011fatherofloveandmercy

“…

Lead simple lives

Live simple lives, children, and do everything in moderation. When you eat, drink, sleep, rest and relax, ensure that it is done in moderation. Once your physical needs are met, you should not continue to seek more, as it saps your spirit. Penance, My children, is vital to your becoming closer to Me. By this, I mean personal sacrifice. Fasting is just one example of penance. I preached the importance of penance during My time on Earth. So too did My precious prophet, Saint John the Baptist.

I, by fasting for 40 days, did so to show you an example. It is only by fasting, children, that you will help drive out the evil one.

My dear children, you have so much ahead of you. You do not understand yet what will be required of you in the years ahead. It is important, in the meantime, to draw closer to Me, so that you are prepared for the trials ahead that face Christians throughout the world.

Go in Peace.

Your loving Saviour
Jesus Christ.”

Carrying my Cross

January 16, 2011fatherofloveandmercy

„My beloved daughter, at last we reunite. It has been a number of days now since you have been in the frame of mind to receive My Messages. Fear not because you will need the time now to heed My most urgent Message given to the world so far.

2011 is the year for the time in which the changes – the purification – will commence and be witnessed by millions throughout the world. Although prayer will help stave off global disasters, it will not be enough now to halt the Hand of My Eternal Father when it swipes down on mankind, shortly.

The evil behaviour and the filth of mind, body and soul, which is being revealed in the world at this moment is clear now for all of you to see. For those of you so busy and wrapped up in your lives, now is the time to stop and see what is happening before your eyes.

The evil one, who works through those in the darkness, has created havoc where daily murder is now so routine that mankind has become de-sensitised to the evil perpetrators who carry out these atrocities. Self-love and greed dominate your society. Your leaders and politicians are power-hungry and in many cases couldn’t care less about your welfare. Suicide, on the rise, is caused by the despair created by the deceiver, the evil one, in your society.

He, who never reveals himself to you, hides behind every act of public demonstration which glorifies sexual immorality and grievous bodily harm to others and oneself.

Reading I

Heb 11:32-40

Brothers and sisters:

What more shall I say?

I have not time to tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah,

of David and Samuel and the prophets,

who by faith conquered kingdoms,

did what was righteous, obtained the promises;

they closed the mouths of lions, put out raging fires,

escaped the devouring sword;

out of weakness they were made powerful, became strong in battle,

and turned back foreign invaders.

Women received back their dead through resurrection.

Some were tortured and would not accept deliverance,

in order to obtain a better resurrection.

Others endured mockery, scourging, even chains and imprisonment.

They were stoned, sawed in two, put to death at sword’s point;

they went about in skins of sheep or goats,

needy, afflicted, tormented.

The world was not worthy of them.

They wandered about in deserts and on mountains,

in caves and in crevices in the earth.

Yet all these, though approved because of their faith,

did not receive what had been promised.

God had foreseen something better for us,

so that without us they should not be made perfect.

Responsorial Psalm

Ps 31:20, 21, 22, 23, 24

R. (25) Let your hearts take comfort, all who hope in the Lord.

How great is the goodness, O LORD,

which you have in store for those who fear you,

And which, toward those who take refuge in you,

you show in the sight of the children of men.

R. Let your hearts take comfort, all who hope in the Lord.

You hide them in the shelter of your presence

from the plottings of men;

You screen them within your abode

from the strife of tongues.

R. Let your hearts take comfort, all who hope in the Lord.

Blessed be the LORD whose wondrous mercy

he has shown me in a fortified city.

R. Let your hearts take comfort, all who hope in the Lord.

Once I said in my anguish,

I am cut off from your sight”;

Yet you heard the sound of my pleading

when I cried out to you.

R. Let your hearts take comfort, all who hope in the Lord.

Love the LORD, all you his faithful ones!

The LORD keeps those who are constant,

but more than requites those who act proudly.

R. Let your hearts take comfort, all who hope in the Lord.

Gospel

Mk 5:1-20

Jesus and his disciples came to the other side of the sea,

to the territory of the Gerasenes.

When he got out of the boat,

at once a man from the tombs who had an unclean spirit met him.

The man had been dwelling among the tombs,

and no one could restrain him any longer, even with a chain.

In fact, he had frequently been bound with shackles and chains,

but the chains had been pulled apart by him and the shackles smashed,

and no one was strong enough to subdue him.

Night and day among the tombs and on the hillsides

he was always crying out and bruising himself with stones.

Catching sight of Jesus from a distance,

he ran up and prostrated himself before him,

crying out in a loud voice,

What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God?

I adjure you by God, do not torment me!”

(He had been saying to him, “Unclean spirit, come out of the man!”)

He asked him, “What is your name?”

He replied, “Legion is my name. There are many of us.”

And he pleaded earnestly with him

not to drive them away from that territory.

Now a large herd of swine was feeding there on the hillside.

And they pleaded with him,

Send us into the swine. Let us enter them.”

And he let them, and the unclean spirits came out and entered the swine.

The herd of about two thousand rushed down a steep bank into the sea,

where they were drowned.

The swineherds ran away and reported the incident in the town

and throughout the countryside.

And people came out to see what had happened.

As they approached Jesus,

they caught sight of the man who had been possessed by Legion,

sitting there clothed and in his right mind.

And they were seized with fear.

Those who witnessed the incident explained to them what had happened

to the possessed man and to the swine.

Then they began to beg him to leave their district.

As he was getting into the boat,

the man who had been possessed pleaded to remain with him.

But Jesus would not permit him but told him instead,

Go home to your family and announce to them

all that the Lord in his pity has done for you.”

Then the man went off and began to proclaim in the Decapolis

what Jesus had done for him; and all were amazed.”

Love is way to Salvation

February 5, 2011fatherofloveandmercy

My dearly beloved daughter, you have been given extra graces today to enable Me to draw you closer. For it is only by being close to Me that you will be able to experience peace, love and joy in your heart. It is only through prayer and by handing Me over your troubles, that you will become in union with Me.

When you surrender, My daughter, and trust in Me, then you will understand the Love I hold for you in My Heart. And when you do, your love for Me will grow stronger. It is only when you offer up all your concerns and place them in My Hands that they will be taken care of.

You can only show real love to others when you love Me. It is through love that you will be blessed with the gifts of looking at other human beings through My Heart, which is full of Love and Compassion.

It is only when you show Me true love that your life will change and joy will surge through your daily life. Never fear My Love, children. It is there for you all in abundance, if you could only turn to Me and ask for it. Once you receive this Love, be generous with it.

Spread My Love everywhere, so that all of you, especially lukewarm souls, can invite Me into their souls. This is the only way to salvation.

Your loving Saviour
Jesus Christ”

Prepare for The Warning, the Illumination of Conscience

January 28, 2011fatherofloveandmercy

„…

If you suffer guilt as a result of sinful action, irrespective as to how grievous the offence is in My Father’s Eyes, don’t fret. Turn back, open your heart, and ask for forgiveness. Guilt is a negative feeling. And while it serves as a form of guiding your conscience, it is not healthy to remain in this state. Ask for the graces, through prayer, to attain the purity of soul required to serve Me. Patience is important. Never let sin drive you away from Me. Guilt must never stand in the way of seeking redemption.

Remember, children, that because of original sin, you will always fall victim to the temptation of the evil one. It is through prayer, fasting and dedication to the Holy Eucharist that you will become closer to Me. This does require time, which must be set aside.

Go now, My children, and remember one thing – never be afraid to turn back to Me when you have sinned. Never be embarrassed to ask for forgiveness when you are truly remorseful. But remember also that when you don’t, you will attract the deceiver again and again and your soul will plunge into darkness. Darkness attracts dark. Light attracts light. I Am the Light.

Turn to Me now and let My Love shine through your poor, lost souls. I love you so much, My children, that when you turn your hearts towards Me, no matter how much isolation you feel, you will never be turned away.

Go in peace and love,

Your Divine Saviour
Jesus Christ”

How Easy is it to Sin

2011 Year of the Purification

January 11, 2011fatherofloveandmercy

My beloved daughter, at last we reunite. It has been a number of days now since you have been in the frame of mind to receive My Messages. Fear not because you will need the time now to heed My most urgent Message given to the world so far.

2011 is the year for the time in which the changes – the purificationwill commence and be witnessed by millions throughout the world. Although prayer will help stave off global disasters, it will not be enough now to halt the Hand of My Eternal Father when it swipes down on mankind, shortly.

The evil behaviour and the filth of mind, body and soul, which is being revealed in the world at this moment is clear now for all of you to see. For those of you so busy and wrapped up in your lives, now is the time to stop and see what is happening before your eyes.

The evil one, who works through those in the darkness, has created havoc where daily murder is now so routine that mankind has become de-sensitised to the evil perpetrators who carry out these atrocities. Self-love and greed dominate your society. Your leaders and politicians are power-hungry and in many cases couldn’t care less about your welfare. Suicide, on the rise, is caused by the despair created by the deceiver, the evil one, in your society.

He, who never reveals himself to you, hides behind every act of public demonstration which glorifies sexual immorality and grievous bodily harm to others and oneself.

The constant pursuit of luxury goods, which you prioritise over your families’ welfare, is rampant. As you, My children, chase these worthless dreams, you will find in time that you will be without food. Those empty and useless things will not feed your empty stomachs. Nor will they fulfill your empty souls, which are screaming for comfort – a comfort you no longer have at your disposal. This comfort can only be achieved through prayer and particularly organised prayer in groups.

Purification comes before My Second Coming

Earthquakes are now about to strike the Earth, as the wrath of My Father’s fury will be unleashed. You, My ungrateful children, who have turned your back on the Light of Truth, need to be fearful now. The beginning of the Great Tribulation is about to unfold, where the spectacle of ecological unrest will escalate. Man will be powerless. In time, he will realise and accept that My Father Exists and that I, His beloved Son, now prepare the way for the world to witness My coming back to Earth for the second time. That time draws close now. However the world must undergo this essential purification first. As the number of world disasters will continue to rise, so too will those followers of Satan. Out of defiance, they will continue with their miserable evil lives and inflict pain and terror on My believers and those who live righteous lives.

As My believers declare the Truth to a disbelieving world, more people will, however, sit up and accept that changes are indeed taking place in the world. They will soon, through the prophecies I Am presenting to My children through My chosen messengers, understand what they are actually witnessing, because the events that will unfold cannot be brought about by man. They can only happen if and when My Eternal Father gives His permission.

The reality of Hell

Choose the lies promoted by the deceiver – the main one being that God the Eternal Father does not exist – and you are doomed. On entering the gates of Hell you will then realise the horrible mistake you have made. Believe Me, My children, if you could just witness the shock and sense of horror of those souls, when the final Truth after death is revealed to them you would not be able to withstand, even just one moment of this torment. Should you witness just a glimpse of this place now, in human terms, you would drop dead with sheer terror of the fate that befalls those who chose the path of sin.

This pathway, which looks pretty, appealing, enticing, glorious and full of wonder, changes when you get half way down it. The changes you come across midway shows you that you are not being satisfied. This strange, empty and disappointing feeling continues unabated for the rest of the journey. You cannot understand why you feel like this. Your experiences, pleasurable on the exterior, are full of unexpected disturbing, nasty feelings which are mixed with anger, frustration, loneliness and fear. It is only when you meet your idol at the end of your journey and look into his wicked eyes, which dance with condescending amusement, that you will scream until you are hoarse. It’s not until that final moment that you will scream for My help. But it will be too late. There will be no turning back at that stage. You will have made your choice in this life. And although I will cry bitter Tears of deep sorrow for each of My lost souls, I cannot save you at that stage. Your free will, where you choose your own destiny, will be completely out of My Hands.

Through this Message, harsh though it is, I Am giving the world the final Warning, out of Pure Love for each of you. I plead with you finally, to hear My Voice now, so that you can save your souls.

Your beloved Jesus Christ

Saviour of Mankind and Just Judge”

Dt 18:15-20

Moses spoke to all the people, saying:
“A
prophet like me will the LORD, your God, raise up for you
from among your own kin;
to him
you shall listen.
This is exactly what you requested of the LORD, your God, at Horeb
on the day of the assembly, when you said,
‘Let us not again hear the voice of the LORD, our God,
nor see this great fire any more, lest we die.’
And the LORD said to me, ‘This was well said.
I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their kin,
and will put my words into his mouth;
he shall tell them all that I command him.
Whoever will not listen to my words which he speaks in my name,
I myself will make him answer for it.

But if a prophet presumes to speak in my name
an oracle that I have not commanded him to speak,
or speaks in the name of other gods, he shall die.’”

R. (8) If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
Come, let us sing joyfully to the LORD;
let us acclaim the rock of our salvation.
Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving;
let us joyfully sing psalms to him.
R. If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
Come, let us bow down in worship;
let us kneel before the LORD who made us.
For he is our God,

Oh, that today you would hear his voice:

as in the day of Massah in the desert,
Where your fathers tempted me;
they tested me though they had seen my works.”
R. If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts.

Reading II

1 Cor 7:32-35

Brothers and sisters:

But a married man is anxious about the things of the world,
how he may please his wife, and he is divided.
An unmarried woman or a virgin is anxious about the things of the Lord,
so that she may be holy in both body and spirit.
A married woman, on the other hand,
is anxious about the things of the world,
how she may please her husband.
I am telling you this for your own benefit,
not to impose a restraint upon you,
but for the sake of propriety
and adherence to the Lord without distraction.

Alleluia

R. Alleluia, alleluia.
The people who sit in darkness have seen a great light;
on those dwelling in a land overshadowed by death,
light has arisen.

Gospel

Mk 1:21-28

Then they came to Capernaum,
and on the sabbath Jesus 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.”

„… Look at everyone through My Eyes
Always look on your friends, family, neighbours and work colleagues through My Eyes. Always look for the good side. Show love to them and they will feel My Presence. They will be drawn to you and won’t know why.

Through My example, imitate Me and you will help Me convert My lost children. By praying hard for them you can draw them nearer to Me. Through sacrifice and the acceptance of suffering, in union with Me, you can save souls. This includes those souls yet to leave this Earth, as well as those awaiting Judgement in Purgatory. …”

 

„… Purification comes before My Second Coming

Earthquakes are now about to strike the Earth, as the wrath of My Father’s fury will be unleashed. You, My ungrateful children, who have turned your back on the Light of Truth, need to be fearful now. The beginning of the Great Tribulation is about to unfold, where the spectacle of ecological unrest will escalate. Man will be powerless. In time, he will realise and accept that My Father Exists and that I, His beloved Son, now prepare the way for the world to witness My coming back to Earth for the second time. That time draws close now. However the world must undergo this essential purification first. As the number of world disasters will continue to rise, so too will those followers of Satan. Out of defiance, they will continue with their miserable evil lives and inflict pain and terror on My believers and those who live righteous lives. …”

The Commissioning of the Disciples

16 Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them. 17 When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. 18 And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”[a]

 

 

 

 

 

„… Paradise, My daughter, although the rightful home for each and every one of you, is not easy to enter. The entrance is small and only so many can enter at a time. In order to enter, souls must show humility and place themselves fully in My Hands. They must push aside pride, strong will and the eagerness and attachment they have for the material things on this Earth, if they want to enter Heaven.

All My children who are starting on their spiritual journey towards Me, now that they understand the Truth, need to work hard now and understand the qualities essential to enter My Father’s Kingdom.

Humility is a term many of My children understand through My Teachings. While many of My followers understand why it is important, they are confused as to what it really entails. Humility means sincerity. It means accepting, with dignity, the trials, challenges and abuses you will find yourselves facing especially when you come in My Name. My best advice is this. Think of yourself as a child, a simple, innocent child, with no knowledge of the evil society that you would normally experience as an adult. Communicate at all times in your prayers to Me through the eyes and the heart of a child. …”

„… Patience is important. Never let sin drive you away from Me. Guilt must never stand in the way of seeking redemption. …”

 

12 As God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience. 13 Bear with one another and, if anyone has a complaint against another, forgive each other; just as the Lord[a] has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. 14 Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. 15 And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in the one body. And be thankful. 16 Let the word of Christ[b] dwell in you richly; teach and admonish one another in all wisdom; and with gratitude in your hearts sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs to God.[c]

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Parable of the Talents

14 “For it is as if a man, going on a journey, summoned his slaves and entrusted his property to them; 15 to one he gave five talents,[a] to another two, to another one, to each according to his ability. Then he went away. 16 The one who had received the five talents went off at once and traded with them, and made five more talents. 17 In the same way, the one who had the two talents made two more talents. 18 But the one who had received the one talent went off and dug a hole in the ground and hid his master’s money. 19 After a long time the master of those slaves came and settled accounts with them. 20 Then the one who had received the five talents came forward, bringing five more talents, saying, ‘Master, you handed over to me five talents; see, I have made five more talents.’ 21 His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and trustworthy slave; you have been trustworthy in a few things, I will put you in charge of many things; enter into the joy of your master.’ 22 And the one with the two talents also came forward, saying, ‘Master, you handed over to me two talents; see, I have made two more talents.’ 23 His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and trustworthy slave; you have been trustworthy in a few things, I will put you in charge of many things; enter into the joy of your master.’ 24 Then the one who had received the one talent also came forward, saying, ‘Master, I knew that you were a harsh man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering where you did not scatter seed; 25 so I was afraid, and I went and hid your talent in the ground. Here you have what is yours.’ 26 But his master replied, ‘You wicked and lazy slave! You knew, did you, that I reap where I did not sow, and gather where I did not scatter? 27 Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers, and on my return I would have received what was my own with interest. 28 So take the talent from him, and give it to the one with the ten talents. 29 For to all those who have, more will be given, and they will have an abundance; but from those who have nothing, even what they have will be taken away. 30 As for this worthless slave, throw him into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’

„… Remember, children, that because of original sin, you will always fall victim to the temptation of the evil one. It is through prayer, fasting and dedication to the Holy Eucharist that you will become closer to Me. This does require time, which must be set aside.

Go now, My children, and remember one thing – never be afraid to turn back to Me when you have sinned. Never be embarrassed to ask for forgiveness when you are truly remorseful. But remember also that when you don’t, you will attract the deceiver again and again and your soul will plunge into darkness. Darkness attracts dark. Light attracts light. I Am the Light. …”

Many souls are lost to Me now, with more and more being snatched from Me daily by the evil one

The Book of Truth:
Write this, My daughter. The doubts creeping into your mind are to be expected. Yes, you are being tempted to turn your head, but he, the deceiver, will never win you from Me. My beloved daughter, you are stronger than you think, because very few chosen souls would be able to deal with this great sacred request in the way that you have. It takes courage to deal with the way in which I communicate with you. You did not run away cowering in fear. You knew right from the first that this was a Divine Communication from the highest and Most Holy Hierarchy.

You are going to experience extra enlightenment shortly, which will cast all your doubts away. When this happens your mind will open up more to receive these special graces, which must be bestowed to fill you with the courage and determination needed to help bring about this prophecy.

Yes, My daughter, much to your astonishment you are the chosen one to fulfill the prophecies contained in the Book of John to prepare mankind for the cleansing, which is to unfold shortly. Once the fear, hesitation and uncertainty leaves you, My beloved daughter, you will rise and complete this very special task, that I ask of you. Now do as I say.

You are to recite My Divine Mercy at 3 o’clock, each day, to help save souls. You must continue to recite the Rosary given to the world by My most precious Mother, who is to work with Me to prepare for My Second Coming on this Earth.

Many souls are lost to Me now, with more and more being snatched from Me daily by the evil one. They cannot be taken from Me. Please help Me save their poor souls. Cast all doubts aside. Just remember your task. Help open their eyes to enable them to redeem themselves in the Eyes of My Eternal Father. If you can just keep thinking of the final outcome, you will understand why this is important and why it is a calling made from the Pure Love I hold for all My children in My Heart.

Think of it like this. The love of a devoted parent knows no bounds. If one child strays and walks the path of doom, the heartbreak and distress caused and felt by the parent is like a sword piercing the heart. Any parent that loves their children will endeavour to fight for them to the end. They never give up – ever. So it is with Me. I will do everything in My Divine Power, without interfering with man’s free will, to turn their hearts back to My Sacred Heart. You, My daughter, will help Me do this.

I don’t need to remind you of the need for obedience and complete abandonment to Me. This is the calling for which you have been chosen. Take up your sword now. You have to fight side by side with your Divine Saviour, in one last attempt, to bring about the salvation of all My children, before the Day of Judgement.

Go now in peace and love to receive My Body today.

Your loving Saviour
Jesus Christ”

Cast all doubts aside

Memorial of Saint Elizabeth of Hungary, Religious

Lectionary: 498

Reading 1

I, John, heard the Lord saying to me:
“To the angel of the Church in Sardis, write this:

“‘The one who has the seven spirits of God
and the seven stars says this: “I know your works,
that you have the reputation of being alive, but you are dead.
Be watchful and strengthen what is left, which is going to die,
for I have not found your works complete in the sight of my God.
Remember then how you accepted and heard; keep it, and repent.
If you are not watchful, I will come like a thief,
and you will never know at what hour I will come upon you.
However, you have a few people in Sardis
who have not soiled their garments;
they will walk with me dressed in white,
because they are worthy.“‘

The victor will thus be dressed in white,
and I will never erase his name from the book of life
but will acknowledge his name in the presence of my Father
and of his angels.

“‘Whoever has ears ought to hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’”“

“To the angel of the Church in Laodicea, write this:

“‘The Amen, the faithful and true witness,
the source of God’s creation, says this:
“I know your works;
I know that you are neither cold nor hot.
I wish you were either cold or hot.
So, because you are lukewarm, neither hot nor cold,
I will spit you out of my mouth.
For you say, ‘I am rich and affluent and have no need of anything,’
and yet do not realize that you are wretched,
pitiable, poor, blind, and naked.
I advise you to buy from me gold refined by fire so that you may be rich,
and white garments to put on
so that your shameful nakedness may not be exposed,
and buy ointment to smear on your eyes so that you may see.
Those whom I love, I reprove and chastise.
Be earnest, therefore, and repent.

“‘Behold, I stand at the door and knock.
If anyone hears my voice and opens the door,
then I will enter his house and dine with him,
and he with me.
I will give the victor the right to sit with me on my throne,
as I myself first won the victory
and sit with my Father on his throne.

“‘Whoever has ears ought to hear
what the Spirit says to the churches.’”

Responsorial Psalm

R. (Rev. 3: 21) I will seat the victor beside me on my throne.
He who walks blamelessly and does justice;
who thinks the truth in his heart
and slanders not with his tongue.
R. I will seat the victor beside me on my throne.
Who harms not his fellow man,
nor takes up a reproach against his neighbor;
By whom the reprobate is despised,
while he honors those who fear the LORD.
R. I will seat the victor beside me on my throne.
Who lends not his money at usury
and accepts no bribe against the innocent.
He who does these things
shall never be disturbed.
R. I will seat the victor beside me on my throne.

Gospel

At that time Jesus came to Jericho and intended to pass through the town.
Now a man there named Zacchaeus,
who was a chief tax collector and also a wealthy man,
was seeking to see who Jesus was;
but he could not see him because of the crowd,
for he was short in stature.
So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore tree in order to see Jesus,
who was about to pass that way.
When he reached the place, Jesus looked up and said,
“Zacchaeus, come down quickly,
for today I must stay at your house.”
And he came down quickly and received him with joy.
When they saw this, they began to grumble, saying,
“He has gone to stay at the house of a sinner.”
But Zacchaeus stood there and said to the Lord,
“Behold, half of my possessions, Lord, I shall give to the poor,
and if I have extorted anything from anyone
I shall repay it four times over.”
And Jesus said to him,
“Today salvation has come to this house
because this man too is a descendant of Abraham.
For the Son of Man has come to seek
and to save what was lost.””

11 Now may our God and Father himself and our Lord Jesus direct our way to you. 12 And may the Lord make you increase and abound in love for one another and for all, just as we abound in love for you. 13 And may he so strengthen your hearts in holiness that you may be blameless before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints.

The Cost of Discipleship
25 Now large crowds were traveling with him; and he turned and said to them, 26 “Whoever comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and even life itself, cannot be my disciple. 27 Whoever does not carry the cross and follow me cannot be my disciple. 28 For which of you, intending to build a tower, does not first sit down and estimate the cost, to see whether he has enough to complete it? 29 Otherwise, when he has laid a foundation and is not able to finish, all who see it will begin to ridicule him, 30 saying, ‘This fellow began to build and was not able to finish.’ 31 Or what king, going out to wage war against another king, will not sit down first and consider whether he is able with ten thousand to oppose the one who comes against him with twenty thousand? 32 If he cannot, then, while the other is still far away, he sends a delegation and asks for the terms of peace. 33 So therefore, none of you can become my disciple if you do not give up all your possessions.

About Salt
34 “Salt is good; but if salt has lost its taste, how can its saltiness be restored?[a] 35 It is fit neither for the soil nor for the manure pile; they throw it away. Let anyone with ears to hear listen!””

You and I will work side by side in preparing the world for the times facing mankind as the earth faces the final cleansing

The Book of Truth:

Mankind faces final cleansing

Yes my beloved daughter it is I. You and I will work side by side in preparing the world for the times facing mankind as the earth faces the final cleansing. It is important that this cleansing takes place for without it there can be no eternal life for My children.

There will be difficulties facing all My children, especially, My followers for this is part of the battle that must be fought to win souls.

Relax. Let your heart feel My love, My daughter. Accept it is a gift from Me. You may be surprised but I am your family. You are at home with Me in my Kingdom.

You now have a job to do. Hold My hand and I will take your mind to guide you to bring My children back to my Sacred Heart. Rest now My child.

Your loving Christ Jesus. Your loving Saviour.

Memorial of Saint Leo the Great, Pope and Doctor of the Church

Lectionary: 492

Reading 1

Beloved:
You must say what is consistent with sound doctrine,
namely, that older men should be temperate, dignified,
self-controlled, sound in faith, love, and endurance.
Similarly, older women should be reverent in their behavior,
not slanderers, not addicted to drink,
teaching what is good, so that they may train younger women
to love their husbands and children,
to be self-controlled, chaste, good homemakers,
under the control of their husbands,
so that the word of God may not be discredited.

Urge the younger men, similarly, to control themselves,
showing yourself as a model of good deeds in every respect,
with integrity in your teaching, dignity, and sound speech
that cannot be criticized,
so that the opponent will be put to shame
without anything bad to say about us.

For the grace of God has appeared, saving all
and training us to reject godless ways and worldly desires
and to live temperately, justly, and devoutly in this age,
as we await the blessed hope,
the appearance of the glory of the great God
and of our savior Jesus Christ,
who gave himself for us to deliver us from all lawlessness
and to cleanse for himself a people as his own,
eager to do what is good.

Put on your apron and wait on me while I eat and drink.
You may eat and drink when I am finished’?
Is he grateful to that servant because he did what was commanded?
So should it be with you.
When you have done all you have been commanded, say,
‘We are unprofitable servants;
we have done what we were obliged to do.’””

Jesus appointed seventy-two other disciples
whom he sent ahead of him in pairs
to every town and place he intended to visit.
He said to them,
“The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few;
so ask the master of the harvest
to send out laborers for his harvest.
Go on your way;
behold, I am sending you like lambs among wolves.
Carry no money bag, no sack, no sandals;
and greet no one along the way.
Into whatever house you enter, first say,
‘Peace to this household.’
If a peaceful person lives there,
your peace will rest on him;
but if not, it will return to you.
Stay in the same house and eat and drink what is offered to you,
for the laborer deserves his payment.
Do not move about from one house to another.
Whatever town you enter and they welcome you,
eat what is set before you,
cure the sick in it and say to them,
‘The Kingdom of God is at hand for you.’
Whatever town you enter and they do not receive you,
go out into the streets and say,
‘The dust of your town that clings to our feet,
even that we shake off against you.’
Yet know this: the Kingdom of God is at hand.
I tell you,
it will be more tolerable for Sodom on that day
than for that town.””

1285. My Presence will shake the earth and the ground will tremble

The Book of Truth:
Thursday, December 4th, 2014, 22:55

 

My dearly beloved daughter, when the time comes for My Second Coming, a great sound will be heard like the roar of thunder and the skies will be opened as if a great curtain has been lifted. I will appear in a great white light, brighter than the sun, and many people will be blinded by this Great Light, which will surround Me. The purer the soul, the clearer will be their eyesight, and they will rejoice when they see My Face.


My Presence will shake the earth and the ground will tremble. Then there will be a great stillness and My Voice will ring out as I declare that it is I, Jesus Christ. There will be great rejoicing on the part of those I will call out to – those who will have been blessed with My Great Mercy. But, amidst the love and the joy, there will also be great sorrow and fear. Those who have nothing but hatred for Me will sink to their knees, groaning in pain and thrashing about in anger and fear at the sight of Me.Those who reach out to Me on that Day and beg Me to take them into My Merciful Arms, will be saved. I will reach out to the lowly, the lost as well as those who will be too weak to seek Me out. They need only whisper these words „Jesus forgive me my sins“ and I will sweep them off their feet and into My Glorious Kingdom.To all of you who fear the Great Day of My Second Coming know that if you love Me that this Day will bring you the greatest joy. If you do not know Me, and when you see Me on that Day, you will come to Me and open your arms to greet Me. It will only be those who hate Me who will refuse My Hand of Mercy. I ask you to trust in Me to bring you peace, for it would never be My intention to frighten you, as I Am a God of endless Love. To those of you who accept My Great Gift of Eternal Life, there is nothing to fear at all and I will guide you along this path up to the Great Day.My Words may be harsh; the Truth may be very difficult to accept; but such is the state of the world, caused by the ugliness of sin, that were I not to warn you of this  Day then you would not be prepared. It is because of Satan that the pain of sin causes such discord, grief and suffering in the world but soon I will bring all sin to an end.Your Jesus”

True Life in God:

 

 …

yes;

(Later:)

Lord, there are so many people now who wish to receive from you ‘personal’ messages. Some of their questions are very worldly. Some of them take me as an ‘information desk’ to Heaven.

Vassula, I have given, to most of them, My answers; they are to be found in the Holy Scriptures and also in this Message;

Lord, allow me nevertheless to mention their names to you.

feel free;

(I did.)

betrothed, I will not answer to questions not worthy of My Holiness; I will call the humble, I will raise the dead, I will encourage the weak, I will pursue the sinner; countless times I shall call the godless; these, from now on, these will be the private messages as you call them; never weary of writing; be prudent as now, always come and consult Me first;

Lord, sometimes without anyone asking for a private message, You just give one like this.

I will choose and decide; I shall guide you, whispering in your ear all that I want to say;

come, us, we;”

Wednesday of the First Week of Advent
Lectionary: 177

Reading 1 Is 25:6-10a

On this mountain the LORD of hosts
will provide for all peoples
A feast of rich food and choice wines,
juicy, rich food and pure, choice wines.
On this mountain he will destroy
the veil that veils all peoples,
The web that is woven over all nations;
he will
destroy death forever.
The Lord GOD will wipe away
the tears from all faces;
The reproach of his people he will remove
from the whole earth; for the LORD has spoken.
On that Day it will be said:
“Behold our God, to whom we looked to save us!
This is the LORD for whom we looked;
let us rejoice and be glad that he has saved us!”
For the hand of the LORD will rest on this mountain.

Responsorial Psalm Ps 23:1-3a, 3b-4, 5, 6

R. (6cd) I shall live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life.
The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
In verdant pastures he gives me repose;
Beside restful waters he leads me;
he refreshes my soul.
R. I shall live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life.
He guides me in right paths
for his name’s sake.
Even though I walk in the dark valley
I fear no evil; for you are at my side
With your rod and your staff
that give me courage.
R. I shall live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life.
You spread the table before me
in the sight of my foes;
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
R. I shall live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life.
Only goodness and kindness follow me
all the days of my life;
And I shall dwell in the house of the LORD
for years to come.
R. I shall live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life.

Alleluia

R. Alleluia, alleluia.
Behold, the Lord comes to save his people;
blessed are those prepared to meet him.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.

Gospel Mt 15:29-37

At that time:
Jesus walked by the Sea of Galilee,
went up on the mountain, and sat down there.
Great crowds came to him,
having with them the lame, the blind, the deformed, the mute,
and many others.
They placed them at his feet, and he cured them.
The crowds were amazed when they saw the mute speaking,
the deformed made whole,
the lame walking,
and the blind able to see,
and they glorified the God of Israel.Jesus summoned his disciples and said,
“My heart is moved with pity for the crowd,
for they have been with me now for three days
and have nothing to eat.
I do not want to send them away hungry,
for fear they may collapse on the way.”
The disciples said to him,
“Where could we ever get enough bread in this deserted place
to satisfy such a crowd?”
Jesus said to them, “How many loaves do you have?”
“Seven,” they replied, “and a few fish.”
He ordered the crowd to sit down on the ground.
Then he took the seven loaves and the fish,
gave thanks, broke the loaves,
and gave them to the disciples, who in turn gave them to the crowds.
They all ate and were satisfied.
They picked up the fragments left over–seven baskets full.”

Orthodox:
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,[a] which have not benefited those who observe them. 10 We have an altar from which those who officiate in the tent[b] 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.”https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Hebrews+13%3A7-16&version=NRSVCE;NR2006;SCH2000;ERV-HU;BDS 32 “Do not be afraid, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom. 33 Sell your possessions, and give alms. Make purses for yourselves that do not wear out, an unfailing treasure in heaven, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys. 34 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Watchful Slaves

35 Be dressed for action and have your lamps lit; 36 be like those who are waiting for their master to return from the wedding banquet, so that they may open the door for him as soon as he comes and knocks. 37 Blessed are those slaves whom the master finds alert when he comes; truly I tell you, he will fasten his belt and have them sit down to eat, and he will come and serve them. 38 If he comes during the middle of the night, or near dawn, and finds them so, blessed are those slaves.

39 “But know this: if the owner of the house had known at what hour the thief was coming, he[a] would not have let his house be broken into. 40 You also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an unexpected hour.”

The Man of Lawlessness

2.1 As to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to him, we beg you, brothers and sisters,[a] not to be quickly shaken in mind or alarmed, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as though from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord is already here. Let no one deceive you in any way; for that day will not come unless the rebellion comes first and the lawless one[b] is revealed, the one destined for destruction.[c] He opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, declaring himself to be God. Do you not remember that I told you these things when I was still with you? And you know what is now restraining him, so that he may be revealed when his time comes. For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work, but only until the one who now restrains it is removed. And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus[d] will destroy[e] with the breath of his mouth, annihilating him by the manifestation of his coming. The coming of the lawless one is apparent in the working of Satan, who uses all power, signs, lying wonders, 10 and every kind of wicked deception for those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11 For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion, leading them to believe what is false, 12 so that all who have not believed the truth but took pleasure in unrighteousness will be condemned.

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2+Thessalonians+2:1-12&version=NRSVCE;NR2006;SCH2000;ERV-HU;BDS

The Destruction of the Temple Foretold

When some were speaking about the temple, how it was adorned with beautiful stones and gifts dedicated to God, he said, “As for these things that you see, the days will come when not one stone will be left upon another; all will be thrown down.”

Signs and Persecutions

They asked him, “Teacher, when will this be, and what will be the sign that this is about to take place?” And he said, “Beware that you are not led astray; for many will come in my name and say, ‘I am he!’[a] and, ‘The time is near!’[b] Do not go after them.

“When you hear of wars and insurrections, do not be terrified; for these things must take place first, but the end will not follow immediately.” 10 Then he said to them, “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; 11 there will be great earthquakes, and in various places famines and plagues; and there will be dreadful portents and great signs from heaven.

12 “But before all this occurs, they will arrest you and persecute you; they will hand you over to synagogues and prisons, and you will be brought before kings and governors because of my name. 13 This will give you an opportunity to testify. 14 So make up your minds not to prepare your defense in advance; 15 for I will give you words[c] and a wisdom that none of your opponents will be able to withstand or contradict. 16 You will be betrayed even by parents and brothers, by relatives and friends; and they will put some of you to death. 17 You will be hated by all because of my name. 18 But not a hair of your head will perish. 19 By your endurance you will gain your souls.

The Destruction of Jerusalem Foretold

20 “When you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation has come near.[d] 21 Then those in Judea must flee to the mountains, and those inside the city must leave it, and those out in the country must not enter it; 22 for these are days of vengeance, as a fulfillment of all that is written. 23 Woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing infants in those days! For there will be great distress on the earth and wrath against this people; 24 they will fall by the edge of the sword and be taken away as captives among all nations; and Jerusalem will be trampled on by the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.

Away from Me, for you do not belong to Me. Your wickedness will be your downfall and through your allegiance to the evil one, you have cut yourselves away from My Glorious Kingdom.

The Book of Truth:
“Thursday, November 6th, 2014, 17:40

 

My dearly beloved daughter, the time has come for My Eternal Father to wipe clean from the face of the earth, the blemish, which casts darkness over the souls of man. He will punish the wicked and take into His Holy Arms those who uphold the True Word of God. His angels will surge forth, in a great tempest, and with mighty scythes will cut out from the roots the disease, which ravages the souls of men, so that the world can become clean again.

Be fearful of the Wrath of God for when He is propelled into such a rage, men will tremble with fear. Those who believe that God does not punish the wicked do not know Him. Their voices, loud and proud, which fill the earth with falsities, and those who deem themselves worthy of great favour, in My Father’s Eyes, but who curse the meek amongst My people, will be plucked from the soil and face the greatest chastisement poured over humanity since the great flood.The angels of God will descend, and with a scythe in their right hands, divide the chaff from the wheat. Those who curse God will be silenced; those who defile the Son of Man will be silenced; those who defile His Body will

wander in confusion, lost and bewildered, before they are plunged into the wilderness.

The Love of God has not been reciprocated and His Mercy has been already declined. Ungrateful souls, whose eyes are set firmly on their own pleasures – and their determination to carry out acts in direct confrontation to the Will of the Lord – will feel the pain of God’s punishment. Like a sheet of lightning, out will pour, like a great tempest, a great upheaval of the earth, which will be felt in every part of the world.

Those who know the Truth will have no fear, for they will be willing witnesses to the promises laid down in Holy Scripture, as to the Great Tribulation to come. Those who have cut God out from their lives – like as if they cut off a limb from their own bodies – will not know of the consequences of cursing God, until it is too late.

You, who have betrayed Me, will suffer the most. You, who have hurled stones at others, in the mistaken belief that you represent Me, will have no one to turn to. For everywhere you try to hide, you will be found naked with nothing to hide your shame. I tell you this, for the patience of My Father is exhausted and onto the battlefield will emerge two armies – those who are for Me and those who are against Me.Pray for God’s

Pray for God’s Mercy. And to those who scourge My Body know this. You may believe that I can be wiped away from My House but, that would be a grave error on your part.

 

Away from Me, for you do not belong to Me. Your wickedness will be your downfall and through your allegiance to the evil one, you have cut yourselves away from My Glorious Kingdom.

Your Jesus”

True Life in God:
Infatuate Me With Your Simplicity

July 7, 1989  

Teach me to obey You since You are my God, and since it is You who educates me. My spirit is failing me and I feel unconsoled in this exile. Lord, listen to my pleading, where are You?

flower, peace be with you; I am near you, from now on I want you to have more faith in Me; am I not your Educator? so why have you to worry? be in Peace, I am Forgiveness;

remain faithful to Me and leave the rest to Me; I will never deny you My Bread, nor My Love; care for each other; pray often to Me, even for just one moment; I am always before you and I am the Only One who will guide you; feel then confident since your hand is in Mine; I know you are poor, but am I not Infinite Wealth? you need not worry, for it is I who will provide you, never think for one second that I shall leave you in the dark; I will fill your lamp with oil; I will never cease feeding you; little one, I am caring for you; pray without ceasing, allow Me to be your Educator till the end;

caress Me with your love, adorn Me with your prayers, infatuate Me with your simplicity; seek me and you shall find Me in simplicity of heart; desire Me, thirst for Me and never weary to evangelise for Love with love; I, the Lord, love you to jealousy; remain in My Sacred Heart; My Sacred Heart will give you all that your soul lacks; I desire this love since I am the Source of Love;

Love loves you all;”

Roman Catholic:

Thursday of the Thirty-first Week in Ordinary Time
Lectionary: 488

Reading 1 Rom 14:7-12

Brothers and sisters:
None of us lives for oneself, and no one dies for oneself.
For if we live, we live for the Lord,
and if we die, we die for the Lord;
so then, whether we live or die, we are the Lord’s.
For this is why Christ died and came to life,
that he might be Lord of both the dead and the living.
Why then do you
judge your brother or sister?
Or you, why do you look down on your brother or sister?
For we shall all stand before the
judgment seat of God;
for it is written:
As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bend before me,
and every tongue shall give praise to God.
So then each of us shall give an account of himself to God.

Responsorial Psalm Ps 27:1bcde, 4, 13-14

R. ( 13) I believe that I shall see the good things of the Lord in the land of the living.
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. I believe that I shall see the good things of the Lord in the land of the living.
One thing I ask of the LORD;
this I seek:
To dwell in the house of the LORD
all the days of my life,
That I may gaze on the loveliness of the LORD
and contemplate his temple.
R. I believe that I shall see the good things of the Lord in the land of the living.
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. I believe that I shall see the good things of the Lord in the land of the living.

Alleluia Mt 11:28

R. Alleluia, alleluia.
Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened,
and I will give you rest, says the Lord.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.

Gospel Lk 15:1-10

The tax collectors and sinners were all drawing near to listen to Jesus,
but the Pharisees and scribes began to complain, saying,
“This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.”
So Jesus addressed this parable to them.
“What man among you having a hundred sheep and
losing one of them
would not leave the ninety-nine in the desert
and go after the
lost one until he finds it?
And when he does find it,
he sets it on his shoulders with great joy
and, upon his arrival home,
he calls together his friends and neighbors and says to them,
‘Rejoice with me because I have found my
lost sheep.’
I tell you, in just the same way
there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents
than over ninety-nine righteous people
who have no need of repentance.
“Or what woman having ten coins andlosing one
would not light a lamp and sweep the house,
searching carefully until she finds it?
And when she does find it,
she calls together her friends and neighbors
and says to them,
‘Rejoice with me because I have found the coin that I
lost.’
In just the same way, I tell you,
there will be rejoicing among the angels of God
over one sinner who repents.””

Orthodox:

Paul’s Interest in the Colossians

24 I am now rejoicing in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I am completing what is lacking in Christ’s afflictions for the sake of his body, that is, the church. 25 I became its servant according to God’s commission that was given to me for you, to make the word of God fully known, 26 the mystery that has been hidden throughout the ages and generations but has now been revealed to his saints. 27 To them God chose to make known how great among the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. 28 It is he whom we proclaim, warning everyone and teaching everyone in all wisdom, so that we may present everyone mature in Christ. 29 For this I toil and struggle with all the energy that he powerfully inspires within me.”

Repent or Perish

13.1 At that very time there were some present who told him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. He asked them, “Do you think that because these Galileans suffered in this way they were worse sinners than all other Galileans? No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all perish as they did. Or those eighteen who were killed when the tower of Siloam fell on them—do you think that they were worse offenders than all the others living in Jerusalem? No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all perish just as they did.”

The Parable of the Barren Fig Tree

Then he told this parable: “A man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came looking for fruit on it and found none. So he said to the gardener, ‘See here! For three years I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree, and still I find none. Cut it down! Why should it be wasting the soil?’ He replied, ‘Sir, let it alone for one more year, until I dig around it and put manure on it. If it bears fruit next year, well and good; but if not, you can cut it down.’””
