…
I give you peace. I bring you great news, for I have carved out a glorious future for you, where death will have no power over you. I await that Day, with great joy. Please await, with patience and trust, for when I open your heart, your worries will be no more.
Your beloved Jesus”

“Gospel Jn 20:19-31
when the doors were locked, where the disciples were,
for fear of the Jews,
Jesus came and stood in their midst
and said to them, “Peace be with you.”
When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side.
The disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord.
Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you.
As the Father has sent me, so I send you.”
And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them,
“Receive the Holy Spirit.
Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them,
and whose sins you retain are retained.”
Thomas, called Didymus, one of the Twelve,
was not with them when Jesus came.
So the other disciples said to him, “We have seen the Lord.”
But he said to them,
“Unless I see the mark of the nails in his hands
and put my finger into the nailmarks
and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.”
Now a week later his disciples were again inside
and Thomas was with them.
Jesus came, although the doors were locked,
and stood in their midst and said, “Peace be with you.”
Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here and see my hands,
and bring your hand and put it into my side,
and do not be unbelieving, but believe.”
Thomas answered and said to him, “My Lord and my God!”
Jesus said to him, “Have you come to believe because you have seen me?
Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed.”
Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of his disciples
that are not written in this book.
But these are written that you may come to believe
that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God,
and that through this belief you may have life in his name.”
“… 29 “Fellow Israelites,[d] I may say to you confidently of our ancestor David that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day. 30 Since he was a prophet, he knew that God had sworn with an oath to him that he would put one of his descendants on his throne. 31 Foreseeing this, David[e] spoke of the resurrection of the Messiah,[f] saying,
‘He was not abandoned to Hades,
nor did his flesh experience corruption.’
32 This Jesus God raised up, and of that all of us are witnesses. 33 Being therefore exalted at[g] the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this that you both see and hear. 34 For David did not ascend into the heavens, but he himself says,
‘The Lord said to my Lord,
“Sit at my right hand,
35 until I make your enemies your footstool.”’
36 Therefore let the entire house of Israel know with certainty that God has made him both Lord and Messiah,[h] this Jesus whom you crucified.”“

Mother of Salvation: The apocalypse will be all about the seizure of my Son’s Church on Earth by His enemies
My child, when people hear the word “apocalypse”, it can strike terror into their hearts. This is because very few are truly informed as to what it symbolizes. These times have been foretold, as being the final part of my Father’s plan to unite the world and free it from the grip of evil, which has been its stranglehold for so long.
The most important sign that the time is close will be just prior to my Son’s Second Coming, when His Crucifixion will be relived all over again. These will be the signs. Just as He was scourged, so also will His Body – His Church on Earth – through corruption and infestation be. Then just as the thorns, were placed upon His Head, so too will they be placed upon the heads of the leaders of His Church. The hands of His sacred servants will be nailed, as if to the Cross, when they will no longer be used, in the times ahead, as instruments of the Holy Sacraments. Just as the nails penetrated my Son’s Feet, so too, will those true servants of God be prohibited from leading souls along the true Path of the Lord. The Crucifixion of my Son’s Church on Earth will continue until it dies and on that day, the Body of my Son, Jesus Christ, will no longer be present in the Holy Eucharist. When my Son’s Church is destroyed, then on what path will His followers walk down? So unless you follow the path of my Son, you will not be able to find your way to His Kingdom.
When my Son’s Church has been taken over and the enemy sits upon the throne, you must always stay loyal to my Son. You will not be able to do this, if you accept the laws of the secular world, as being a substitute for the Truth.
The Book of Truth will, along with the Crusade Prayers, keep you focused on my Son. Those loyal sacred servants of His will feed you with the Food of Life, when it will be nowhere to be found. By then, you will be able to count the months, as if they are weeks and the weeks, as if they are days, because at the sound of the trumpet the New Jerusalem will rise out of the ashes and the persecution will be over.
The apocalypse will be all about the seizure of my Son’s Church on Earth by His enemies. It will be about the struggle for souls. * The chastisement will be about God’s Warning to humanity to open their eyes to the Truth. The Remnant Army will help to keep the flame of love ** for my Son alive and, at the same time, bring souls a great reprieve from the punishment, which would otherwise befall them, were it not for the Mercy of my Son.
Your beloved Mother
Mother of Salvation”

Memorial of Saint Athanasius, Bishop and Doctor of the Church
Lectionary: 270
Reading 1 Acts 5:27-33
and made them stand before the Sanhedrin,
the high priest questioned them,
“We gave you strict orders did we not,
to stop teaching in that name.
Yet you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching
and want to bring this man’s blood upon us.”
But Peter and the Apostles said in reply,
“We must obey God rather than men.
The God of our ancestors raised Jesus,
though you had him killed by hanging him on a tree.
God exalted him at his right hand as leader and savior
to grant Israel repentance and forgiveness of sins.
We are witnesses of these things,
as is the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey him.”
they became infuriated and wanted to put them to death.

Gospel Jn 3:31-36
The one who is of the earth is earthly and speaks of earthly things.
But the one who comes from heaven is above all.
He testifies to what he has seen and heard,
but no one accepts his testimony.
Whoever does accept his testimony certifies that God is trustworthy.
For the one whom God sent speaks the words of God.
He does not ration his gift of the Spirit.
The Father loves the Son and has given everything over to him.
Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life,
but whoever disobeys the Son will not see life,
but the wrath of God remains upon him.”
Orthodox (Greek Catholic):
“38 Peter said to them, “Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ so that your sins may be forgiven; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 For the promise is for you, for your children, and for all who are far away, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to him.” 40 And he testified with many other arguments and exhorted them, saying, “Save yourselves from this corrupt generation.” 41 So those who welcomed his message were baptized, and that day about three thousand persons were added. 42 They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers.
Life among the Believers
43 Awe came upon everyone, because many wonders and signs were being done by the apostles.”

Nicodemus Visits Jesus
3.1 Now there was a Pharisee named Nicodemus, a leader of the Jews. 2 He came to Jesus[a] by night and said to him, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God; for no one can do these signs that you do apart from the presence of God.” 3 Jesus answered him, “Very truly, I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God without being born from above.”[b] 4 Nicodemus said to him, “How can anyone be born after having grown old? Can one enter a second time into the mother’s womb and be born?” 5 Jesus answered, “Very truly, I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God without being born of water and Spirit. 6 What is born of the flesh is flesh, and what is born of the Spirit is spirit.[c] 7 Do not be astonished that I said to you, ‘You[d] must be born from above.’[e] 8 The wind[f] blows where it chooses, and you hear the sound of it, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.” 9 Nicodemus said to him, “How can these things be?” 10 Jesus answered him, “Are you a teacher of Israel, and yet you do not understand these things?
11 “Very truly, I tell you, we speak of what we know and testify to what we have seen; yet you[g] do not receive our testimony. 12 If I have told you about earthly things and you do not believe, how can you believe if I tell you about heavenly things? 13 No one has ascended into heaven except the one who descended from heaven, the Son of Man.[h] 14 And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, 15 that whoever believes in him may have eternal life.[i] …”
