Whatever grievance you may have – He will forgive you

The Book of Truth:

Love can defeat every affliction suffered by the human race

March 3, 2014fatherofloveandmercy

My dearly beloved daughter, think of Me, with love in your heart, for it is only through Love do I communicate to the world, through the Book of Truth. 

By the Command of My Father, I gather all of His precious children, as one with Him and in Him. It is Love, which permits this Divine Intervention. My Father endures Pain, Anger, Impatience and Frustration, because of the stain of sin, which blights the souls of each of His children. But it is His everlasting Love for all of you, which keeps the Light of God aglow on Earth.

Without this Light, there would be only darkness, not just of spirit, but on Earth itself. Daylight would not exist. The sun would not shine, nor would the moon brighten the night. The stars would disappear. Yet, all of these Gifts remain in place because of the Love of God. When this Love is reciprocated, it brings great joy to My Father, for He knows that once the spirit of love is present in souls, it can overcome all darkness of the soul. 

Love can defeat every affliction suffered by the human race. Love for one another will destroy evil. Love for God will destroy Satan’s power over man. Loyalty to the Commandments of God will perfect the soul and, in turn, then save the human race from banishment and separation from God.

When the Light of God is retained in your hearts and the Love of God for one another is present in your souls, then every evil can and will be conquered. When you love God, you will feel a deep peace within you, for when you show your love for Him, He will fill you with His Graces. You must always take comfort in the powerful Love, which God holds in His Heart for each of you.

I love you child

Whoever you are, whatever grievance you may have caused Him and no matter how wicked your sins are, He will forgive you – always. All you must do is to call on Him, by asking Me, His beloved Son, Jesus Christ, to intervene on your behalf through reconciliation.

Come to Me with your prayer and say: “Jesus, take me under Your Refuge to my Father and bring me Eternal Salvation.” 

When you come to Me, with true remorse in your soul, yours shall be the Kingdom of Heaven.

Your Jesus

THE BOOK OF THE TRUTH – Message 249

Messages given to a European woman to prepare for the Second Coming of Jesus Christ

Monday, November 14th, 2011, 20:15

My dearly beloved daughter why is that people complicate My teachings? So many of My children misunderstand and underestimate My Great Mercy. Despite the number of times I promise My children forgiveness for their sins they are still afraid that I cannot forgive all sin, no matter how grievous the sin.

Evil in the world is caused by the hatred that Satan has for mankind. Those poor deluded sinners who slavishly follow the path of deceit are My beloved children. I love each of them and I will continue to love them despite their darkness of soul. My love is ever lasting and will never die when it comes to all souls. I am ready to completely forgive and embrace all. I am prepared to do everything to bring all sinners back into My fold no matter how they offend Me.

Satan will be stopped from stealing such souls. But it will only be when the shield of pride is discarded by sinners that they can turn to Me and become part of My cherished family again. Do not misunderstand. I can only bring souls closer to Me. I cannot force them to love Me. I cannot force them to want to enter My Kingdom of Paradise. They will have to accept My hand of reconciliation first through their own free will.

I am as I have told you My daughter time and time again a God of Mercy first. My justice will materialise but only when every exhaustive measure has been taken to save every single soul on earth.

My daughter this work was never going to be easy for you. Because I have given you this holy task of such magnitude it will require tremendous strength on your part. You are made to be strong. You have been trained for this work since you came from your mother’s womb. All your responses to My most Holy instructions have been according to My divine plan for humanity. It is because you are in union with me (have you forgotten this?) that you will suffer the same rejection that I had to endure during my time on earth. This same rejection by those who boast of their intellectual knowledge of My teachings in order to reject these messages of mine witnessed by you in the world today. Those souls stuffed with pride and their self proclaimed knowledge of holy scripture fail to understand this.

My teachings are very simple. Add in all the fine language and prose you like, the truth remains as it always has been. Love one another as I love you. It will be only when you show respect for each other and love one another that you can truly proclaim My word.

So much confusion exists My daughter. So much terror and fear instilled in My children about their future. If only souls would calm down and pray for mercy then their prayers would be answered. Disasters will and can be mitigated. Keep hope alive in your souls children. Never get bogged down with judging each other and certainly never do this in My name.

Who dares to judge another through ridicule, in the name of Christianity, will have to face Me. He who sins against My prophets will also have to answer to Me. My word is not rejected out of love. My word is not rejected out of fear. No it is rejected because of the sin of pride.

Your saviour Jesus Christ”

The Book of Truth:

Forgiveness the pathway to freedom

May 21, 2011fatherofloveandmercy

My daughter, forgiveness is the pathway to freedom. When you forgive those who offend you or who have caused you hurt, you become free of spirit. That is when joy fills your soul. That too means that I Am present within you.

When you forgive others, this is a sign of love, not only for your neighbour, but love for Me your Divine Saviour. For those who do not believe Me, know that when they, too, forgive others I Am present and walk with them. Yet they have no idea that this is the case.

Forgiveness is love. My Love is endless. But I implore you, My children, to allow Me to forgive you for your sins. If you could only ask Me to do this, not only will you be free, but the love and the joy you will experience will surprise you.

This act of humility will allow you to communicate with love towards others. Your light will shine and will affect others in a special way, but neither you nor they will be aware of this. My Love, after the act of redemption takes place, will flood your soul. Your clean soul will be like a magnet, as it draws others towards you.

To forgive others is not easy, My children. Pride and a sense of self-worth prevent this great act of mercy taking place. This is the work of Satan; for he knows that lack of forgiveness leads to other more serious sins against God the Father. When you cannot forgive others, first of all, you build up a resentment, which when it festers, leads to hatred and even murder. In many cases it can lead to war.

If people everywhere forgave one another graciously, then hatred would not exist. Murder would be less frequent, and love – the love of God the Eternal Father, would spread.

Learn to forgive one another. Push pride aside and ask for My Mercy. For when you ask for something according to My Holy Will, you will be granted your request.

Your loving Saviour

King of Mercy, Jesus Christ

„10 I will greatly rejoice in the Lord,
my whole being shall exult in my God;
for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation,
he has covered me with the robe of righteousness,
as a bridegroom decks himself with a garland,
and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
11 For as the earth brings forth its shoots,
and as a garden causes what is sown in it to spring up,
so the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise
to spring up before all the nations.

The Vindication and Salvation of Zion

62.1 For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent,
and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest,
until her vindication shines out like the dawn,
and her salvation like a burning torch.
2 The nations shall see your vindication,
and all the kings your glory;
and you shall be called by a new name
that the mouth of the Lord will give.
3 You shall be a crown of beauty in the hand of the Lord,
and a royal diadem in the hand of your God.
4 You shall no more be termed Forsaken,[a]
and your land shall no more be termed Desolate;[b]
but you shall be called My Delight Is in Her,[c]
and your land Married;[d]
for the Lord delights in you,
and your land shall be married.
5 For as a young man marries a young woman,
so shall your builder[e] marry you,
and as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride,
so shall your God rejoice over you.”

 

 

 

„The Ingathering of the Dispersed

60.1 Arise, shine; for your light has come,
and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you.
2 For darkness shall cover the earth,
and thick darkness the peoples;
but the Lord will arise upon you,
and his glory will appear over you.
3 Nations shall come to your light,
and kings to the brightness of your dawn.

4 Lift up your eyes and look around;
they all gather together, they come to you;
your sons shall come from far away,
and your daughters shall be carried on their nurses’ arms.
5 Then you shall see and be radiant;
your heart shall thrill and rejoice,[a]
because the abundance of the sea shall be brought to you,
the wealth of the nations shall come to you.
6 A multitude of camels shall cover you,
the young camels of Midian and Ephah;
all those from Sheba shall come.
They shall bring gold and frankincense,
and shall proclaim the praise of the Lord.
7 All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered to you,
the rams of Nebaioth shall minister to you;
they shall be acceptable on my altar,
and I will glorify my glorious house.

8 Who are these that fly like a cloud,
and like doves to their windows?
9 For the coastlands shall wait for me,
the ships of Tarshish first,
to bring your children from far away,
their silver and gold with them,
for the name of the Lord your God,
and for the Holy One of Israel,
because he has glorified you.
10 Foreigners shall build up your walls,
and their kings shall minister to you;
for in my wrath I struck you down,
but in my favor I have had mercy on you.
11 Your gates shall always be open;
day and night they shall not be shut,
so that nations shall bring you their wealth,
with their kings led in procession.
12 For the nation and kingdom
that will not serve you shall perish;
those nations shall be utterly laid waste.
13 The glory of Lebanon shall come to you,
the cypress, the plane, and the pine,
to beautify the place of my sanctuary;
and I will glorify where my feet rest.
14 The descendants of those who oppressed you
shall come bending low to you,
and all who despised you
shall bow down at your feet;
they shall call you the City of the Lord,
the Zion of the Holy One of Israel.
15 Whereas you have been forsaken and hated,
with no one passing through,
I will make you majestic forever,
a joy from age to age.
16 You shall suck the milk of nations,
you shall suck the breasts of kings;
and you shall know that I, the Lord, am your Savior
and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.”

Friday of the Seventh Week of Easter

Lectionary: 301

Reading I

Acts 25:13b-21

King Agrippa and Bernice arrived in Caesarea
on a visit to Festus.
Since they spent several days there,
Festus referred Paul’s case to the king, saying,
“There is a man here left in custody by Felix.
When I was in Jerusalem the chief priests and the elders of the Jews
brought charges against him and demanded his condemnation.
I answered them that it was not Roman practice
to hand over an accused person before he has faced his accusers
and had the opportunity to defend himself against their charge.
So when they came together here, I made no delay;
the next day I took my seat on the tribunal
and ordered the man to be brought in.
His accusers stood around him,
but did not charge him with any of the crimes I suspected.
Instead they had some issues with him about their own religion
and about a certain Jesus who had died
but who Paul claimed was alive.
Since I was at a loss how to investigate this controversy,
I asked if he were willing to go to Jerusalem
and there stand trial on these charges.
And when Paul appealed that he be held in custody
for the Emperor’s decision,
I ordered him held until I could send him to Caesar.”

After Jesus had revealed himself to his disciples and eaten breakfast with them,
he said to Simon Peter,
“Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?”
Simon Peter answered him, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.”
Jesus said to him, “Feed my lambs.”
He then said to Simon Peter a second time,
“Simon, son of John, do you love me?”
Simon Peter answered him, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.”
He said to him, “Tend my sheep.”
He said to him the third time,
“Simon, son of John, do you love me?”
Peter was distressed that he had said to him a third time,
“Do you love me?” and he said to him,
“Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you.”
Jesus said to him, “Feed my sheep.
Amen, amen, I say to you, when you were younger,
you used to dress yourself and go where you wanted;
but when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands,
and someone else will dress you
and lead you where you do not want to go.”
He said this signifying by what kind of death he would glorify God.
And when he had said this, he said to him, “Follow me.””

I say that soon the final Path, which will bring you to my Son, in these the end times, will be through the Book of Truth

The Book of Truth:

My dear child, let it be known that I will make one more appearance at all the Marian grottos, which were approved by my Son’s Church, over the centuries.

I will make myself known in Sacred sites, which will include Lourdes, Fatima, La Salette and Guadalupe. I will also appear at Garabandal. These apparitions will begin this Spring, just as my Son has instructed.

I will be seen, by chosen souls, with the sun behind my head. There will be twelve stars encircled and woven around the crown of thorns, which was worn by my Son during His Crucifixion, placed upon my head, as a sign for all to follow my example. My role is to lead all of God’s children along the Path of Truth and take them to my Son.

When these apparitions take place, there will be no doubt, especially amongst those who pay homage to me, that I speak the Truth when I say that soon the final Path, which will bring you to my Son, in these the end times, will be through the Book of Truth.

When you follow me, your Mother, I will take you and guide you towards my Son. My Son has promised many miracles, so that He can open your eyes to the prophecies He gave the world, through my own Mission. Many do not accept that I appeared at these special apparition sites and dismiss their importance in the salvation of souls.

When I appear one last time at these sites and present myself as the Mother of Salvation, you will know then that this Mission is my last and that all apparitions lead to this final one to bring the world the Salvation, which is the birthright of every single person. …”

The time has come to rise up now and take this Cup – drink from it, for it is the Cup of Salvation. By drinking from this Cup you will now be prepared to share this Cup with mankind. You now prepare to unveil the Words of Christ, so that souls can be saved during The Warning.

Do not waste one single moment as the time now draws near for this Great Event. You will have only a short time for the world to read the contents on the Internet. But this period will be instrumental in saving millions from the fires of Hell.

This is a big responsibility, but you are now ready.

Go now in love and peace

The Holy Spirit”

Message from the Holy Spirit

Image February 12, 2011fatherofloveandmercy

„My daughter, you strayed a little and now you ask for the strength to give you the confidence and courage to carry out My instructions. This is good. Give Me your time as My beloved Mother requested because your soul must remain pure when communicating My Word.

I must now ask you to start planning the release of My precious Warning, a Gift for every single person in the world. They must be given details of this by the end of February, over the Internet and across the world.

Hurry, child, do what has to be done so that as many people as possible are given a chance to hear it. Give this time, My beloved daughter, because it is now urgent. This request is not meant to frighten you. It is to emphasise the urgency, so that as many people as possible in the world are prepared. Then they can seek reconciliation when their sins are unveiled before their eyes.

By preparing, they will benefit greatly. It is because of this piece of Scripture that they will survive The Warning. Then they will be pure and with the blessings they will receive, will then be ready to face the trials that will follow.

Embrace this Gift, My daughter. Do not feel frightened or disillusioned. This is a Gift for mankind. Your accepting this call has meant that you have suffered, but not in the way you expected. Your suffering came about because of temptation. Your doubts have stopped you from accepting the peace and joy in your soul, that is yours if you would allow Me the freedom to take you and guide you.

It is time now, My daughter, to surrender all to Me. Offer Me your free will as a Gift and I will give you the biggest and most cherished Gift of all. Peace, joy and a tremendous love for Me, in every part of your being. Come now, My daughter. Be Mine. Finally join in union with Me. Give Me all your love, suffering, worries and concerns. Just release them now. Then, and only then, will you be truly free and light of heart.

This Work will require strength, My daughter. You are not just what you term a visionary. I Am giving you the Gift of prophecy. Why? Because you, My precious prophet, will be instrumental in spreading the Good News to the whole world about My Second Coming, when I return to Earth.

I realise that this news may come as a shock, but you have been preparing for this role for a very, very long time, only you did not know it. To help you with this task, I have assigned a number of saints to help you. They include Saint Benedict, Saint Augustine, Pope John Paul II, Saint Faustina, Saint Malachi and Saint Theresa of Avila. I will reveal others in time. All are working now to support your task, which is one of the most important ever given to mankind at this crucial time in history.

Do not fear, My daughter. You are more than capable of this task. Why do you think I demand such discipline from you? You still have some way to go in your spiritual development, but that will come in time. I will continue to communicate privately with you while the First Volume goes public.

I love you, My daughter. I know you love Me. I know that it can be very difficult for you with all your pressures. But, you will persevere, get stronger and stronger. Your energy and quick pace of mind will ensure that this important series of Messages goes out to all My children everywhere. All countries.

That’s all for now. Thank you for taking the time to meditate and respond to Me this evening.

Your loving Saviour
Jesus Christ”

Publish My messages across the world

February 7, 2011fatherofloveandmercy

Dearly beloved daughter, this is one of the final Messages to be inserted in My first piece of Sacred Scripture contained in the Volume The Warning.”

My beloved children, you will soon be made aware of My Existence through chastisement. Very soon now, believers in God the Almighty, and atheists alike will be given the final Gift before the glorious day when I return to Judge.

This Great Event will open up your hearts and you will look in awe at the wonderful Love that I show you in this Act of Mercy. Many of you do not realise that I, or My Eternal Father, Exist. For so many of you innocent souls, you should understand that My Mercy extends to you during The Warning.

No matter what Name you will want to give Me, it will be then that a new understanding will embrace your souls. Be grateful when this happens because this chastisement will be your salvation.

Once this event is over, all those believers, along with those who will convert because they will finally understand the Truth, will form My new army on Earth. Each one of you, who will have sought forgiveness when your sins will be revealed to you, will seek to spread the Truth to those in darkness.

This Gift will, My children, bring you hurt when you are mocked in My Name. Be thankful when this happens because then you will know, painful though these experiences will be, that you are a true disciple of Mine.

You will join Me in Paradise when the time comes. Never fear your Faith, My loved ones. For if you were to glimpse, for just one moment, the sheer splendor that My Father has created for you in Paradise, your human eyes could not withstand the Light and the Glory. Once glimpsed, your attachment to this Earth, beautiful though it is, because this too was created by God, you will beg for the time when you can join Me in Paradise.

Message of Love for atheists
Remember one final lesson from Me. Atheists everywhere listen to this Message now, even if you find it hard to do so. Every one of My children on this Earth feels love at some stage in their lives. When you feel love in your hearts, you cannot see it, touch it and may find it difficult to describe. There is no scientific method available which can evaluate it. Love makes you humble. Love makes you generous of heart. Love can help you to make big sacrifices. Love is confusing, but passionate. Love is not man-made. It is a Gift from God. Love comes from only one Source. Love is God. God is Love. It’s that simple. Open your hearts to the Pure Love that I, and My Eternal Father, hold for each and every one of you. Look to Me as a child would look to its parent. Call Me and I will fill your hearts. When that happens you will never turn back.

Your loving Saviour
Jesus Christ”

Saturday of the Fifth Week in Ordinary Time

Lectionary: 334

Reading I

Gn 3:9-24

The LORD God called to Adam and asked him, “Where are you?”
He answered, “I heard you in the garden;
but I was afraid, because I was naked,
so I hid myself.”
Then he asked, “Who told you that you were naked?
You have eaten, then,
from the tree of which I had forbidden you to eat!”
The man replied, “The woman whom you put here with me
she gave me fruit from the tree, and so I ate it.”
The LORD God then asked the woman,
“Why did you do such a thing?”
The woman answered, “The serpent tricked me into it, so I ate it.”

Then the LORD God said to the serpent:

    Because you have done this, you shall be banned
from all the animals
and from all the wild creatures;
On your belly shall you crawl,
and dirt shall you eat
all the days of your life.
I will put
enmity between you and the woman,
and between your offspring and
hers;
SHe will strike at your head,
while you strike at her
heel.” 

To the woman he said:

    “I will intensify the pangs of your childbearing;
in pain shall you bring forth children.
Yet your urge shall be for your husband,
and he shall be your master.”

To the man he said: “Because you listened to your wife
and ate from the tree of which I had forbidden you to eat,

    “Cursed be the ground because of you!
In toil shall you eat its yield
all the days of your life.

Thorns and thistles shall it bring forth to you,
as you eat of the plants of the field.
By the sweat of your face
shall you get bread to eat,
Until you return to the ground,
from which you were taken;
For you are dirt,
and to dirt you shall return.”

The man called his wife Eve,
because she became the mother of all the living.

For the man and his wife the LORD God made leather garments,
with which he clothed them.
Then the LORD God said: “See!  The man has become like one of us,
knowing what is good and what is evil!
Therefore, he must not be allowed to put out his hand
to take fruit from the tree of life also,
and thus eat of it and live forever.”
The LORD God therefore banished him from the garden of Eden,
to till the ground from which he had been taken.
When he expelled the man,
he settled him east of the garden of Eden;
and he stationed the cherubim and the fiery revolving sword,
to guard the way to the tree of life.

Responsorial Psalm

90:2, 3-4abc, 5-6, 12-13

R.    (1)  In every age, O Lord, you have been our refuge.
Before the mountains were begotten
and the earth and the world were brought forth,
from everlasting to everlasting you are God.
R.    In every age, O Lord, you have been our refuge.
You turn man back to dust,
saying, “Return, O children of men.”
For a thousand years in your sight
are as yesterday, now that it is past,
or as a watch of the night.
R.    In every age, O Lord, you have been our refuge.
You make an end of them in their sleep;
the next morning they are like the changing grass,
Which at dawn springs up anew,
but by evening wilts and fades.
R.    In every age, O Lord, you have been our refuge.
Teach us to number our days aright,
that we may gain wisdom of heart.
Return, O LORD! How long?
Have pity on your servants!
R.    In every age, O Lord, you have been our refuge.

Alleluia

Mt 4:4b

R. Alleluia, alleluia.
One does not live on bread alone,
but on every word that comes forth from the mouth of God.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.

Gospel

Mk 8:1-10

In those days when there again was a great crowd without anything to eat,
Jesus summoned the disciples and said,
“My heart is moved with pity for the crowd,
because they have been with me now for three days
and have nothing to eat.
If I send them away hungry to their homes,
they will collapse on the way,
and some of them have come a great distance.”
His disciples answered him, “Where can anyone get enough bread
to satisfy them here in this deserted place?”
Still he asked them, “How many loaves do you have?”
They replied, “Seven.”
He ordered the crowd to sit down on the ground.
Then, taking the seven loaves he gave thanks, broke them,
and gave them to his disciples to distribute,
and they distributed them to the crowd.
They also had a few fish.
He said the blessing over them
and ordered them distributed also.
They ate and were satisfied.
They picked up the fragments left over–seven baskets.
There were about four thousand people.

He dismissed the crowd and got into the boat with his disciples
and came to the region of Dalmanutha.”

„… The time has come to rise up now and take this Cup – drink from it, for it is the Cup of Salvation. By drinking from this Cup you will now be prepared to share this Cup with mankind. You now prepare to unveil the Words of Christ, so that souls can be saved during The Warning.

Do not waste one single moment as the time now draws near for this Great Event. You will have only a short time for the world to read the contents on the Internet. But this period will be instrumental in saving millions from the fires of Hell.

This is a big responsibility, but you are now ready. …”

„… I must now ask you to start planning the release of My precious Warning, a Gift for every single person in the world. They must be given details of this by the end of February, over the Internet and across the world.

Hurry, child, do what has to be done so that as many people as possible are given a chance to hear it. Give this time, My beloved daughter, because it is now urgent. This request is not meant to frighten you. It is to emphasise the urgency, so that as many people as possible in the world are prepared. Then they can seek reconciliation when their sins are unveiled before their eyes.

By preparing, they will benefit greatly. It is because of this piece of Scripture that they will survive The Warning. Then they will be pure and with the blessings they will receive, will then be ready to face the trials that will follow. …”

———–
Orthodox:

14 And we urge you, beloved,[a] to admonish the idlers, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with all of them. 15 See that none of you repays evil for evil, but always seek to do good to one another and to all. 16 Rejoice always, 17 pray without ceasing, 18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. 19 Do not quench the Spirit. 20 Do not despise the words of prophets,[b] 21 but test everything; hold fast to what is good; 22 abstain from every form of evil.

23 May the God of peace himself sanctify you entirely; and may your spirit and soul and body be kept sound[c] and blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. „

„… This Work will require strength, My daughter. You are not just what you term a visionary. I Am giving you the Gift of prophecy. Why? Because you, My precious prophet, will be instrumental in spreading the Good News to the whole world about My Second Coming, when I return to Earth. …”

„… Dearly beloved daughter, this is one of the final Messages to be inserted in My first piece of Sacred Scripture contained in the Volume The Warning.”

My beloved children, you will soon be made aware of My Existence through chastisement. Very soon now, believers in God the Almighty, and atheists alike will be given the final Gift before the glorious day when I return to Judge.

This Great Event will open up your hearts and you will look in awe at the wonderful Love that I show you in this Act of Mercy. Many of you do not realise that I, or My Eternal Father, Exist. For so many of you innocent souls, you should understand that My Mercy extends to you during The Warning.

No matter what Name you will want to give Me, it will be then that a new understanding will embrace your souls. Be grateful when this happens because this chastisement will be your salvation. …”

„… 3 Be on your guard! If another disciple[a] sins, you must rebuke the offender, and if there is repentance, you must forgive. 4 And if the same person sins against you seven times a day, and turns back to you seven times and says, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive.”

5 The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!” 6 The Lord replied, “If you had faith the size of a[b] mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.

7 “Who among you would say to your slave who has just come in from plowing or tending sheep in the field, ‘Come here at once and take your place at the table’? 8 Would you not rather say to him, ‘Prepare supper for me, put on your apron and serve me while I eat and drink; later you may eat and drink’? 9 Do you thank the slave for doing what was commanded? 10 So you also, when you have done all that you were ordered to do, say, ‘We are worthless slaves; we have done only what we ought to have done!’” …”

This Gift will, My children, bring you hurt when you are mocked in My Name. Be thankful when this happens because then you will know, painful though these experiences will be, that you are a true disciple of Mine.

For if you were to glimpse, for just one moment, the sheer splendor that My Father has created for you in Paradise, your human eyes could not withstand the Light and the Glory.

It is to emphasise the urgency, so that as many people as possible in the world are prepared

The Book of Truth:

My daughter, you strayed a little and now you ask for the strength to give you the confidence and courage to carry out My instructions. This is good. Give Me your time as My beloved Mother requested because your soul must remain pure when communicating My Word.

I must now ask you to start planning the release of My precious Warning, a Gift for every single person in the world. They must be given details of this by the end of February, over the Internet and across the world.

Hurry, child, do what has to be done so that as many people as possible are given a chance to hear it. Give this time, My beloved daughter, because it is now urgent. This request is not meant to frighten you. It is to emphasise the urgency, so that as many people as possible in the world are prepared. Then they can seek reconciliation when their sins are unveiled before their eyes.

By preparing, they will benefit greatly. It is because of this piece of Scripture that they will survive The Warning. Then they will be pure and with the blessings they will receive, will then be ready to face the trials that will follow.

Embrace this Gift, My daughter. Do not feel frightened or disillusioned. This is a Gift for mankind. Your accepting this call has meant that you have suffered, but not in the way you expected. Your suffering came about because of temptation. Your doubts have stopped you from accepting the peace and joy in your soul, that is yours if you would allow Me the freedom to take you and guide you.

It is time now, My daughter, to surrender all to Me. Offer Me your free will as a Gift and I will give you the biggest and most cherished Gift of all. Peace, joy and a tremendous love for Me, in every part of your being. Come now, My daughter. Be Mine. Finally join in union with Me. Give Me all your love, suffering, worries and concerns. Just release them now. Then, and only then, will you be truly free and light of heart.

This Work will require strength, My daughter. You are not just what you term a visionary. I Am giving you the Gift of prophecy. Why? Because you, My precious prophet, will be instrumental in spreading the Good News to the whole world about My Second Coming, when I return to Earth.

I realise that this news may come as a shock, but you have been preparing for this role for a very, very long time, only you did not know it. To help you with this task, I have assigned a number of saints to help you. They include Saint Benedict, Saint Augustine, Pope John Paul II, Saint Faustina, Saint Malachi and Saint Theresa of Avila. I will reveal others in time. All are working now to support your task, which is one of the most important ever given to mankind at this crucial time in history.

Do not fear, My daughter. You are more than capable of this task. Why do you think I demand such discipline from you? You still have some way to go in your spiritual development, but that will come in time. I will continue to communicate privately with you while the First Volume goes public.

I love you, My daughter. I know you love Me. I know that it can be very difficult for you with all your pressures. But, you will persevere, get stronger and stronger. Your energy and quick pace of mind will ensure that this important series of Messages goes out to all My children everywhere. All countries.

That’s all for now. Thank you for taking the time to meditate and respond to Me this evening.

Your loving Saviour
Jesus Christ”

„… I understand that for many of My children, especially those non-believers, they find it very difficult to believe in the next life. They are so conditioned, by worldly matters, that in their struggle to survive, they have neglected their spirituality to such an extent they don’t believe that there is another life at all. They now need to consider. They believe that all ends after death and that the only world they need to worry about is the one they live in right now. How I Am distressed for these misguided souls.

If they could only experience a glimpse of what Paradise provides, they would spend their days in prayer and adoration to Me, and My Eternal Father, in praise and thanks.

I come, as you know, not as a Saviour then, but as a Just Judge. That time is now close, My children. Do not fear. I Love you all. You are in My Heart. Allow Me to enter yours now, and let Me guide you to My Father’s Kingdom. Never fear death. Death will simply be a doorway into a new beautiful life of blissful eternity, full of love, peace and happiness. …”

„… 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. …”

Memorial of Saint Scholastica, Virgin

Lectionary: 331

Reading I

Gn 2:4b-9, 15-17

At the time when the LORD God made the earth and the heavens
while as yet there was no field shrub on earth
and no grass of the field had sprouted,
for the LORD God had sent no rain upon the earth
and there was no man to till the soil,
but a stream was welling up out of the earth
and was watering all the surface of the ground
the LORD God formed man out of the clay of the ground
and blew into his nostrils the breath of life,
and so man became a living being.

Then the LORD God planted a garden in Eden, in the east,
and he placed there the man whom he had formed.
Out of the ground the LORD God made various trees grow
that were delightful to look at and good for food,
with the tree of life in the middle of the garden
and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

The LORD God then took the man
and settled him in the garden of Eden,
to cultivate and care for it.
The LORD God gave man this order:
“You are free to eat from any of the trees of the garden
except the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
From that tree you shall not eat;
the moment you eat from it you are surely doomed to die.”

Responsorial Psalm

104:1-2a, 27-28, 29bc-30

R.    (1a)  O bless the Lord, my soul!
Bless the LORD, O my soul!
O LORD, my God, you are great indeed!
You are clothed with majesty and glory,
robed in light as with a cloak.
R.    O bless the Lord, my soul!
All creatures look to you
to give them food in due time.
When you give it to them, they gather it;
when you open your hand, they are filled with good things.
R.    O bless the Lord, my soul!
If you take away their breath, they perish
and return to their dust.
When you send forth your spirit, they are created,
and you renew the face of the earth.
R.    O bless the Lord, my soul!

Gospel

Mk 7:14-23

Jesus summoned the crowd again and said to them,
“Hear me, all of you, and understand.
Nothing that enters one from outside can defile that person;
but the things that come out from within are what defile.” 

When he got home away from the crowd
his disciples questioned him about the parable.
He said to them,
“Are even you likewise without understanding?
Do you not realize that everything
that goes into a person from outside cannot defile,
since it enters not the heart but the stomach
and passes out into the latrine?”
(Thus he declared all foods clean.)
“But what comes out of the man, that is what defiles him.
From within the man, from his heart,
come evil thoughts, unchastity, theft, murder,
adultery, greed, malice, deceit,
licentiousness, envy, blasphemy, arrogance, folly.
All these evils come from within and they defile.””

https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/021021.cfm

 

„… 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. …”

11 Does a spring pour forth from the same opening both fresh and brackish water? 12 Can a fig tree, my brothers and sisters,[a] yield olives, or a grapevine figs? No more can salt water yield fresh.

Two Kinds of Wisdom

13 Who is wise and understanding among you? Show by your good life that your works are done with gentleness born of wisdom. 14 But if you have bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not be boastful and false to the truth. 15 Such wisdom does not come down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, devilish. 16 For where there is envy and selfish ambition, there will also be disorder and wickedness of every kind. 17 But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without a trace of partiality or hypocrisy. 18 And a harvest of righteousness is sown in peace for[b] those who make peace.

Friendship with the World

4 Those conflicts and disputes among you, where do they come from? Do they not come from your cravings that are at war within you? 2 You want something and do not have it; so you commit murder. And you covet[c] something and cannot obtain it; so you engage in disputes and conflicts. You do not have, because you do not ask. 3 You ask and do not receive, because you ask wrongly, in order to spend what you get on your pleasures. 4 Adulterers! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God. 5 Or do you suppose that it is for nothing that the scripture says, God[d] yearns jealously for the spirit that he has made to dwell in us”? 6 But he gives all the more grace; therefore it says,

God opposes the proud,
but gives grace to the humble.”

„… Never let him win, because when he does he succeeds in infesting souls and causes terrible pain, anguish and suffering. He causes friendships to disintegrate, confusion, despair, and instils false thoughts in the minds of his targets. Then, when My children feel guilt at their own weakness, for succumbing to temptation, they experience a form of wretchedness that brings desperation, misery and distraction into their lives. …”

1282. Those who gave away their birthright to the beast, will never come before Me

————
The Book of Truth:
Saturday, November 29th, 2014, 14:25

My dearly beloved daughter, it is through the weak, the vulnerable, the lonely and the humble that I manifest My Divinity. My Power sweeps through such souls into My Holy Will and, it is through them, I can achieve My Plan for the salvation of humanity.

When those who have been called by Me, to proclaim My Holy Word, are diverted from Holy works due to the sin of pride, they try to define My Word with an exaggerated respect for their own human intellect. They forget that, to follow Me, has already been laid down and that it is My Holy Word that must be heard, and not the sound of their own voices. It is through the sin of lust that they will discard My Word, in their ambitious quest to outshine Me and seek glorification. It is through the sin of sloth, because of laziness, that they will be guilty of the ultimate betrayal, when they fail to remain loyal to Me because of a lack of faith and courage.

And so it will be in the final lead up to My Second Coming that those who believe they are more worthy, more qualified but full of pride, will face a bitter rebuke and down they will fall. The weak, the humble and the lowly who are deemed by followers in My Church to be of little consequence, but who will cling to the Truth, who will be enveloped by Me on the Great Day. I will call them and beckon them to Me as I gather them into My Kingdom. They will cry tears of joy.

Then I will gather those who do not know Me, but who will be awakened by My Light – good souls, with hearts of gold – and I will say ‘come up here into My Refuge.’ And then, the sinners who committed terrible atrocities, but who asked Me for My Mercy, will be called and I will say ‘come, I forgive you for you sought reconciliation.’

And then, those traitors of Mine, who once knew Me, but who turned their backs on Me, will come but they will not be able to look Me in the Eye. Nor will they seek My Mercy and I will say to them ‘away from Me, you are not fit to enter My Kingdom.’

Finally those who gave away their birthright to the beast, will never come before Me for they will be cast into the furnace along with those who lost Me the souls of those in My Church on earth, who followed them blindly into the darkness of the night.

Then it will be all over and, in a split second, a new beginning – a new world on earth as it was meant to be. A world without end.

Your Jesus”

Friday of the Thirty-fourth Week in Ordinary Time
Lectionary: 507

Reading 1 Dn 7:2-14

In a vision I, Daniel, saw during the night,
the four winds of heaven stirred up the great sea,
from which emerged four immense beasts,
each different from the others.
The first was like a lion, but with eagle’s wings.
While I watched, the wings were plucked;
it was raised from the ground to stand on two feet
like a man, and given a human mind.
The second was like a bear; it was raised up on one side,
and among the teeth in its mouth were three tusks.
It was given the order, “Up, devour much flesh.”
After this I looked and saw another beast, like a leopard;
on its back were four wings like those of a bird,
and it had four heads.
To this beast dominion was given.
After this, in the visions of the night I saw the fourth beast,
different from all the others,
terrifying, horrible, and of extraordinary strength;
it had great iron teeth with which it devoured and crushed,
and what was left it trampled with its feet.
I was considering the ten horns it had,
when suddenly another, a little horn, sprang out of their midst,
and three of the previous horns were torn away to make room for it.
This horn had eyes like a man,
and a mouth that spoke arrogantly.
As I watched,Thrones were set up
and the Ancient One took his throne.
His clothing was snow bright,
and the hair on his head as white as wool;
His throne was flames of fire,
with wheels of burning fire.
A surging stream of fire
flowed out from where he sat;
Thousands upon thousands were ministering to him,
and myriads upon myriads attended him.The court was convened, and the books were opened.
I watched, then, from the first of the arrogant words
which the horn spoke, until the beast was slain
and its body thrown into the fire to be burnt up.
The other beasts, which also lost their dominion,
were granted a prolongation of life for a time and a season.
As the visions during the night continued, I sawOne like a son of man coming,
on the clouds of heaven;
When he reached the Ancient One
and was presented before him,
He received dominion, glory, and kingship;
nations and peoples of every language serve him.
His dominion is an everlasting dominion
that shall not be taken away,
his kingship shall not be destroyed.

Gospel Lk 21:29-33

Jesus told his disciples a parable.
“Consider the fig tree and all the other trees.
When their buds burst open,
you see for yourselves and know that summer is now near;
in the same way, when you see these things happening,
know that the
Kingdom of God is near.
Amen, I say to you, this generation will not pass away
until all these things have taken place.
Heaven and earth will pass away,
but my words will not pass away.””

Final Exhortations, Greetings, and Benediction

12 But we appeal to you, brothers and sisters,[a] to respect those who labor among you, and have charge of you in the Lord and admonish you; 13 esteem them very highly in love because of their work. Be at peace among yourselves.

24 The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do this.

25 Beloved,[e] pray for us.

26 Greet all the brothers and sisters[f] with a holy kiss. 27 I solemnly command you by the Lord that this letter be read to all of them.[g]

28 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.[h] …”

19 When the scribes and chief priests realized that he had told this parable against them, they wanted to lay hands on him at that very hour, but they feared the people.

The Question about Paying Taxes

20 So they watched him and sent spies who pretended to be honest, in order to trap him by what he said, so as to hand him over to the jurisdiction and authority of the governor. 21 So they asked him, “Teacher, we know that you are right in what you say and teach, and you show deference to no one, but teach the way of God in accordance with truth. 22 Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to the emperor, or not?” 23 But he perceived their craftiness and said to them, 24 “Show me a denarius. Whose head and whose title does it bear?” They said, “The emperor’s.” 25 He said to them, “Then give to the emperor the things that are the emperor’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” 26 And they were not able in the presence of the people to trap him by what he said; and being amazed by his answer, they became silent.

1212. Do not cut yourself off from Me. If you do, there will be great weeping.

The Book of Truth:
Friday, September 5th, 2014, 20:45

 

My dearly beloved daughter, let it be known that death has no power over those of Mine, whose faith has sustained them right up to their last breath. These souls have no fear of physical death because they know that Eternal Life begins at that time. I await such souls with open arms and they run like little children towards the Light of My Love. I embrace them and take them into My Kingdom, awaiting each and every such soul in the presence of the Hierarchy of Angels and all the saints – then great rejoicing takes place.

I reunite them with their families and there is much joy, love and excitement. No more tears. No memories of the sufferings, which they endured on earth, remain. All worries, sadness and despair are wiped away and forgotten, in an instant. Death opens the door for those who die in a state of Grace as new life begins. For every soul who is welcomed into My Kingdom, there are different levels, and each one is accorded their reward, based on the Glory, which they have given to God.

For souls who die in a state of sin, know that I Am All Merciful and, after their purification, they will be welcomed into My Kingdom. Always pray for such souls because they cannot pray for themselves at that stage. Your prayers will be heard and I will await these souls with open and loving arms. It is important for every child of God to understand one important thing about life after death. You must ask Me, Your Jesus, to forgive you; your failings; your weaknesses and your iniquities, before you die, for it is then that My Mercy is at its greatest. If you do not believe in God, you reject Eternal Life. Without love for God, love cannot be yours after death. I Am Love and without Me, you will feel nothing but pain. Separation from God is to be feared. If you feel confused about My Existence, then you must simply ask Me to show you a sign of My Love, and I will respond.

Do not cut yourself off from Me. If you do, there will be great weeping and you can never be consoled, for I will be unable to help you. My Kingdom will give you Eternal Life but you must ask Me for My Help by reciting this prayer.

Crusade Prayer (165): For the Gift of Eternal Life

Jesus help me to believe in Your Existence.
Give me a sign so that my heart can respond to You.
Fill my empty soul with the Grace that I need
to open my mind and my heart to Your Love.
Have Mercy on me, and cleanse my soul from every wrongdoing,
that I have committed in my life.
Forgive me for rejecting You, but please fill me with the love that I need,
to be made worthy of Eternal Life.
Help me to know You, to see Your Presence in other people
and fill me with the Grace to
recognise the Sign of God
in every beautiful Gift which You have given the human race.

Help me to understand Your Ways and save me from the separation
and the pain of
darkness that I feel in my soul. Amen.

Do not allow human pride, intellectual analysis or opinion to sway you from the Truth. As a child of God you are very precious to Me. Do not let Me lose you. Come. I Am Here. I Am Real. Let Me fill your soul with My Presence. Once that happens you will find it difficult to ignore Me.

I love you all. I bless you. I await your response.

Your Jesus”

  They No Longer Count The Fruits Of Our Hearts

January 10, 1990

(Jesus called me to dictate to me His Message for our prayer group meeting on January 27, 1990.)

peace be with you, feel My Presence, I am among you; set your hearts to listen and understand My Words; beloved children, it is now a little bit more than a year that I, the Lord, have been with you in this special way, giving you My Messages and in this way I have shown you the Wounds of My Sacred Heart, I have made known to you the state of My Church of today and the cause of the bitterness of My Soul;


Unity can only be to God’s Glory, so come and praise the Lord, do not be like the pagans differentiating yourselves in Christ; you should, all you who are in Christ, help each other and thus fulfil the law of Christ, this is an appeal to all Christians from your Lord’s Mother; the Lord is preparing you all you who are under His Name for this Glorious day; yes, the Lord will unite His people and deliver them from all the evils; Mercy and Justice is working with such wonders as has never happened among many generations … and Unity shall come upon you like Dawn and as sudden as the fall of communism; it shall come from God and your nations shall name it: the Great Miracle, the Blessed Day in your history; this Miracle shall be all for God’s Glory, and in this day all Heaven shall celebrate and rejoice profoundly … this is why I implore you, children of Mine, to be in constant prayer and to love one another; give your full abandonment to God and He will do the rest;

I bless each one of you, My Presence shall be felt by many of you upon entering your homes; I love you all;

Brothers and sisters:
From the day we heard about you, we do not cease praying for you
and asking that you may be filled with the
knowledge of God’s will
through all spiritual wisdom and
understanding
to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord,
so as to be fully pleasing, in every good work bearing fruit
and growing in the knowledge of God,
strengthened with every power, in accord with his glorious might,
for all endurance and patience,
with joy giving thanks to the Father, who has made you fit to share
in the inheritance of the holy ones in light.
He delivered us from the power of
darkness
and transferred us to the Kingdom of his
beloved Son,
in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.

Responsorial Psalm Ps 98:2-3ab, 3cd-4, 5-6

The LORD has made his salvation known:
in the sight of the nations he has revealed his justice.
He has remembered his kindness and his faithfulness
toward the house of Israel.

All the ends of the earth have seen
the salvation by our God.
Sing joyfully to the LORD, all you lands;
break into song; sing praise.

Alleluia Mt 4:19

R. Alleluia, alleluia.
Come after me, says the Lord,
and I will make you fishers of men.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.

Gospel Lk 5:1-11

While the crowd was pressing in on Jesus and listening to the word of God,
he was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret.
He saw two boats there alongside the lake;
the fishermen had disembarked and were washing their nets.
Getting into one of the boats, the one belonging to Simon,
he asked him to put out a short distance from the shore.
Then he sat down and taught the crowds from the boat.
After he had finished speaking, he said to Simon,
“Put out into deep water and lower your nets for a catch.”
Simon said in reply,
“Master, we have worked hard all night and have caught nothing,
but at your command I will lower the nets.”
When they had done this, they caught a great number of fish
and their nets were tearing.
They signaled to their partners in the other boat
to come to help them.
They came and filled both boats
so that the boats were in danger of sinking.
When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at the knees of Jesus and said,
“Depart from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man.”
For astonishment at the catch of fish they had made seized him
and all those with him,
and likewise James and John, the sons of Zebedee,
who were partners of Simon.
Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid;
from now on you will be catching men.”
When they brought their boats to the shore,
they left everything and followed him.”

7.1 Since we have these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from every defilement of body and of spirit, making holiness perfect in the fear of God.

Paul’s Joy at the Church’s Repentance

Make room in your hearts[a] for us; we have wronged no one, we have corrupted no one, we have taken advantage of no one. I do not say this to condemn you, for I said before that you are in our hearts, to die together and to live together. I often boast about you; I have great pride in you; I am filled with consolation; I am overjoyed in all our affliction.

For even when we came into Macedonia, our bodies had no rest, but we were afflicted in every way—disputes without and fears within. But God, who consoles the downcast, consoled us by the arrival of Titus, and not only by his coming, but also by the consolation with which he was consoled about you, as he told us of your longing, your mourning, your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced still more. For even if I made you sorry with my letter, I do not regret it (though I did regret it, for I see that I grieved you with that letter, though only briefly). Now I rejoice, not because you were grieved, but because your grief led to repentance; for you felt a godly grief, so that you were not harmed in any way by us. 10 For godly grief produces a repentance that leads to salvation and brings no regret, but worldly grief produces death.”

Jesus Heals Many at Simon’s House

29 As soon as they[a] left the synagogue, they entered the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. 30 Now Simon’s mother-in-law was in bed with a fever, and they told him about her at once. 31 He came and took her by the hand and lifted her up. Then the fever left her, and she began to serve them.

32 That evening, at sunset, they brought to him all who were sick or possessed with demons. 33 And the whole city was gathered around the door. 34 And he cured many who were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons; and he would not permit the demons to speak, because they knew him.

35 In the morning, while it was still very dark, he got up and went out to a deserted place, and there he prayed.”

Everything I do, everything that I allow and everything I carry out, in order to purify the earth, will have only one objective and that is to give Glory to God.

The Book of Truth:

Monday, August 25th, 2014, 19:05

 

My dearly beloved daughter, when a person says he loves Me, he will do all according to My Holy Will. He will place everything in My Holy Hands and he will forget his own needs and desires. Then he will say to Me “Jesus everything I say and do is according to Your Holy Will – do with me according to the Will of God.”

The man who lives in Me and I, in him, will surrender all according to that which gives Glory to God. He will have no selfish motives; no hidden desire to please himself and will do everything he can, in this life, so that he is in full union with Me. He will hand over to Me every thought; every movement; every step and every action so that I can act within his soul. He will trust in Me, completely, and he will know that everything I do, everything that I allow and everything I carry out, in order to purify the earth, will have only one objective and that is to give Glory to God.

Man, on his own, can never give Me such a gift unless he allows My Holy Spirit to reside within him. Only then, can he rise to the perfection, which will transform him, so that his heart and soul become entwined with Me. I can then, through My Divinity, create great miracles in that soul who, having trusted in Me completely, will still retain his God-given right – that of his free will.By allowing Me, Jesus Christ, to reside within you, it will require great sacrifice on your part. You must shed every lofty thought; every weakness and every ounce of self-pity. When you come to Me, and ask Me to guide you, then any suffering, which was your lot before, will be discarded. Nothing will trouble you. You will be incapable of feeling hatred for others, including those who cause you great harm or sorrow. You will forgive easily, hold no resentment in your heart, for whatever difficult circumstances you may be in, and you will see things as I see them.


To prepare for life in Me, you must remind yourselves that all that is good comes from God. Man, by his own intellect and determination, can never attain peace until the day he offers himself to God, in mind, body and soul. By offering Me, Jesus Christ, the gift of his full trust, I will reside in that soul and he will become part of all My Glory. I will elevate such souls. What joy will flood their hearts! Fear of the unknown will bother them no more. In this way I will prepare the world for My Great Glory – My New Glorious Kingdom, where all life will be lived, according to the Will of God, on earth as it is in Heaven.

When My Will becomes engrained within the souls of those who live their lives according to My every desire, they will never experience hatred in their hearts, of any kind, again. For this would be impossible. I Am incapable of hatred and if I Am permitted to live in your soul, then nothing can remain within you, which does not come from Me.Your Jesus”

“…

if the flames lick up your countries and fires devour the people of the earth it is all due to the great apostasy that seized nation after nation infiltrating in the heart of My Law; this apostasy beggared you and made you believe you are fatherless …. how I pity you! O generation, for how long must I wait? My warnings and My calls echo the earth and though My grief is acute and My Justice now brimming over, I can still relent and I can accept the homage you would offer Me;

I am ready to forgive you through the Blood shed by My Son and through His Sacrifice, if you take My Words to heart; I who created you out of Love ask you: will I hear from you your cry of repentance? ….

daughter, glorify Me and reveal My Holy Face with love to everyone! I bless you and everyone accompanying you;

Memorial of Saint Monica
Lectionary: 426

Reading 1 1 Thes 2:1-8

You yourselves know, brothers and sisters,
that our reception among you was not without effect.
Rather, after we had suffered and been insolently treated,
as you know, in Philippi,
we drew courage through our God
to speak to you the Gospel of God with much struggle.
Our exhortation was not from delusion or impure motives,
nor did it work through deception.
But as we were judged worthy by God to be entrusted with the Gospel,
that is how we speak,
not as trying to please men,
but rather God, who judges our hearts.
Nor, indeed, did we ever appear with flattering speech, as you know,
or with a
pretext for greed–God is witness–
nor did we
seek praise from men,
either from you or from others,
although we were able to impose our weight as Apostles of Christ.
Rather, we were gentle among you,
as a nursing mother cares for her children.
With such affection for you, we were determined to share with you
not only the Gospel of
God, but our very selves as well,
so dearly beloved had you become to us.

Responsorial Psalm Ps 139:1-3, 4-6

R.(1) You have searched me and you know me, Lord.
O LORD, you have probed me and you know me;
you know when I sit and when I stand;
you understand my thoughts from afar.
My journeys and my rest you scrutinize,
with all my ways you are familiar.
R. You have searched me and you know me, Lord.
Even before a word is on my tongue,
behold, O LORD, you know the whole of it.
Behind me and before, you hem me in
and rest your hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
too lofty for me to attain.
R. You have searched me and you know me, Lord.

The word of God is living and effective,
able to discern reflections and thoughts of the heart.

Jesus said:
“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites.
You pay tithes of mint and dill and cummin,
and have neglected the weightier things of the law:
judgment and mercy and fidelity.
But these you should have done, without neglecting the others.
Blind guides, who strain out the gnat and swallow the camel!“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites.

cleanse the outside of cup and dish,
but inside they are full of
plunder and self-indulgence.
Blind Pharisee, cleanse first the inside of the cup,
so that the outside also may be
clean.””

Who is sufficient for these things? 17 For we are not peddlers of God’s word like so many;[a] but in Christ we speak as persons of sincerity, as persons sent from God and standing in his presence.

3.1 Are we beginning to commend ourselves again? Surely we do not need, as some do, letters of recommendation to you or from you, do we? You yourselves are our letter, written on our[b] hearts, to be known and read by all; and you show that you are a letter of Christ, prepared by us, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.

Such is the confidence that we have through Christ toward God. Not that we are competent of ourselves to claim anything as coming from us; our competence is from God, …”

In every place your faith in God has gone forth,

and how you turned to God from idols
to serve the living and true God and to await his Son from heaven,

who delivers us from the coming wrath.

One who swears by the altar swears by it and all that is upon it;
one who swears by the temple swears by it
and by him who dwells in it;
one who swears by heaven swears by the throne of God
and by him who is seated on it.””

When they take away the Life I bequeathed to man, My Pain is so great that I cry out, with such anguish, that the entire Heavens spill tears of sorrow with Me.  My Time is soon and when you hear of the wars; the pestilences; the famine and the earthquakes increase with frequency, know then that will be the hour when I say – enough!

Orthodox:
For I wrote you out of much distress and anguish of heart and with many tears, not to cause you pain, but to let you know the abundant love that I have for you.

Forgiveness for the Offender

But if anyone has caused pain, he has caused it not to me, but to some extent—not to exaggerate it—to all of you. This punishment by the majority is enough for such a person; so now instead you should forgive and console him, so that he may not be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow. So I urge you to reaffirm your love for him. I wrote for this reason: to test you and to know whether you are obedient in everything. 10 Anyone whom you forgive , I also forgive . What I have forgiven , if I have forgiven anything, has been for your sake in the presence of Christ. 11 And we do this so that we may not be outwitted by Satan; for we are not ignorant of his designs.

Paul’s Anxiety in Troas

12 When I came to Troas to proclaim the good news of Christ, a door was opened for me in the Lord; 13 but my mind could not rest because I did not find my brother Titus there. So I said farewell to them and went on to Macedonia.

14 But thanks be to God, who in Christ always leads us in triumphal procession, and through us spreads in every place the fragrance that comes from knowing him. 15 For we are the aroma of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing;”

 13 “But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you lock people out of the kingdom of heaven. For you do not go in yourselves, and when others are going in, you stop them.[a] 15 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you cross sea and land to make a single convert, and you make the new convert twice as much a child of hell[b] as yourselves.

16 “Woe to you, blind guides, who say, ‘Whoever swears by the sanctuary is bound by nothing, but whoever swears by the gold of the sanctuary is bound by the oath.’ 17 You blind fools! For which is greater, the gold or the sanctuary that has made the gold sacred? 18 And you say, ‘Whoever swears by the altar is bound by nothing, but whoever swears by the gift that is on the altar is bound by the oath.’ 19 How blind you are! For which is greater, the gift or the altar that makes the gift sacred? 20 So whoever swears by the altar, swears by it and by everything on it; 21 and whoever swears by the sanctuary, swears by it and by the one who dwells in it; …

I Am All-Merciful. I do not seek revenge

The Book of Truth:
March 4, 2014 @ 9:25pm

 

My dearly beloved daughter, remember that God always judges in favour of the oppressed. He will never exalt those who exalt themselves. For every man that is exalted, the lowest of the low in your world will be exalted in My Kingdom. The oppressors in your world will become the oppressed, on the Final Day of Judgement.

I Am All-Merciful. I do not seek revenge. I do not reprimand you by replicating the wrongs you did to others, the hatred you inflicted on others or the harsh way you judged others. So great is My Love, that I will forgive you any sin, except eternal sin, which curses the Word of God. I will always forgive you, no matter how you crucify Me or My servants, sent to redeem you. Not since My Crucifixion has humanity witnessed My Intervention, like now, as I bring you the Book of Truth.

The time is near now, as I gather all nations for the final reunion. I will take those who are of Me, through their acts, their words and their deeds, into a new beginning, which will become the new world, the New Paradise. My Kingdom will be yours. I will gather My people, from every corner of the Earth. Some will be Mine, while the others will be punished for their wickedness. Those who are called, as well as those of you who were chosen from the beginning of time, will be like lions. Courage will be given to you from Heaven and you will need this if you are to overcome the hatred, which will be shown against you.

Please never fear My enemies. Ignore their venom. Their voices may roar and their screams may be deafening, but they have no power over you. If you are truly Mine, then the fires of Hell will never prevail against you.

Your Jesus”

Reading 1 Sir 35:1-12

To keep the law is a great oblation,
and he who observes the
commandments sacrifices a peace offering.
In works of charity one offers fine flour,
and when he gives alms he presents his sacrifice of praise.
To refrain from evil pleases the LORD,
and to avoid injustice is an atonement.

Appear not before the LORD empty-handed,
for all that you offer is in fulfillment of the precepts.
The just one’s offering enriches the altar
and rises as a sweet odor before the Most High.
The just one’s sacrifice is most pleasing,
nor will it ever be forgotten.
In a generous spirit pay homage to the LORD,
be not sparing of freewill gifts.
With each contribution show a cheerful countenance,
and pay your tithes in a spirit of joy.
Give to the Most High as he has given to you,
generously, according to your means.For the LORD is one who always repays,
and he will give back to you sevenfold.
But offer no bribes, these he does not accept!
Trust not in sacrifice of the fruits of extortion.
For he is a God of justice,
who knows no favorites.

Responsorial Psalm 50:5-6, 7-8, 14 and 23

R. (23b)  To the upright I will show the saving power of God.
Gather my faithful ones before me,

those who have made a covenant with me by sacrifice.”
And the heavens proclaim his justice;
for God himself is the
judge.
R. To the upright I will show the saving power of God.

“Hear, my people, and I will speak;
Israel, I will testify against you;
God, your God, am I.
Not for your sacrifices do I rebuke you,
for your burnt offerings are before me always.”
R. To the upright I will show the saving power of God.

“Offer to God praise as your sacrifice
and fulfill your vows to the Most High.
He that offers praise as a sacrifice glorifies me;
and to him that goes the right way I will show the salvation of God.”
R. To the upright I will show the saving power of God.

Alleluia See Mt 11:25

R. Alleluia, alleluia.
Blessed are you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth;
you have revealed to little ones the mysteries of the Kingdom.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.

Gospel Mk 10:28-31

Peter began to say to Jesus,
‘We have given up everything and followed you.”
Jesus said, “Amen, I say to you,
there is no one who has given up house or brothers or sisters
or mother or father or children or lands
for my sake and for the sake of the Gospel
who will not receive a hundred times more now in this present age:
houses and brothers and sisters
and mothers and children and lands,
with persecutions, and eternal life in the age to come.
But many that are first will be last, and the last will be first.””

Orthodox (Greek Catholic):

Salutation

Jude,[a] a servant[b] of Jesus Christ and brother of James,

To those who are called, who are beloved[c] in[d] God the Father and kept safe for[e] Jesus Christ:

May mercy, peace, and love be yours in abundance.

Occasion of the Letter

Beloved, while eagerly preparing to write to you about the salvation we share, I find it necessary to write and appeal to you to contend for the faith that was once for all entrusted to the saints. For certain intruders have stolen in among you, people who long ago were designated for this condemnation as ungodly, who pervert the grace of our God into licentiousness and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.[f]

Judgment on False Teachers

Now I desire to remind you, though you are fully informed, that the Lord, who once for all saved[g] a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe. And the angels who did not keep their own position, but left their proper dwelling, he has kept in eternal chains in deepest darkness for the judgment of the great day. Likewise, Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding cities, which, in the same manner as they, indulged in sexual immorality and pursued unnatural lust,[h] serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire.

Yet in the same way these dreamers also defile the flesh, reject authority, and slander the glorious ones.[i] But when the archangel Michael contended with the devil and disputed about the body of Moses, he did not dare to bring a condemnation of slander[j] against him, but said, “The Lord rebuke you!” 10 But these people slander whatever they do not understand, and they are destroyed by those things that, like irrational animals, they know by instinct.”

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. 40 When he reached the place, he said to them, “Pray that you may not come into the time of trial.”[a] 41 Then he withdrew from them about a stone’s throw, knelt down, and prayed, 42 “Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me; yet, not my will but yours be done.” [[43 Then an angel from heaven appeared to him and gave him strength. 44 In his anguish he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat became like great drops of blood falling down on the ground.]][b] 45 When he got up from prayer, he came to the disciples and found them sleeping because of grief, 46 and he said to them, “Why are you sleeping? Get up and pray that you may not come into the time of trial.”[c]

The Betrayal and Arrest of Jesus

47 While he was still speaking, suddenly a crowd came, and the one called Judas, one of the twelve, was leading them. He approached Jesus to kiss him; 48 but Jesus said to him, “Judas, is it with a kiss that you are betraying the Son of Man?” 49 When those who were around him saw what was coming, they asked, “Lord, should we strike with the sword?” 50 Then one of them struck the slave of the high priest and cut off his right ear. 51 But Jesus said, “No more of this!” And he touched his ear and healed him. 52 Then Jesus said to the chief priests, the officers of the temple police, and the elders who had come for him, “Have you come out with swords and clubs as if I were a bandit? 53 When I was with you day after day in the temple, you did not lay hands on me. But this is your hour, and the power of darkness!”

Peter Denies Jesus

54 Then they seized him and led him away, bringing him into the high priest’s house. But Peter was following at a distance. 55 When they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat down together, Peter sat among them. 56 Then a servant-girl, seeing him in the firelight, stared at him and said, “This man also was with him.” 57 But he denied it, saying, “Woman, I do not know him.” 58 A little later someone else, on seeing him, said, “You also are one of them.” But Peter said, “Man, I am not!” 59 Then about an hour later still another kept insisting, “Surely this man also was with him; for he is a Galilean.” 60 But Peter said, “Man, I do not know what you are talking about!” At that moment, while he was still speaking, the cock crowed. 61 The Lord turned and looked at Peter. Then Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said to him, “Before the cock crows today, you will deny me three times.” 62 And he went out and wept bitterly.

The Mocking and Beating of Jesus

63 Now the men who were holding Jesus began to mock him and beat him; 64 they also blindfolded him and kept asking him, “Prophesy! Who is it that struck you?” 65 They kept heaping many other insults on him.

Jesus before the Council

66 When day came, the assembly of the elders of the people, both chief priests and scribes, gathered together, and they brought him to their council. 67 They said, “If you are the Messiah,[d] tell us.” He replied, “If I tell you, you will not believe; 68 and if I question you, you will not answer. 69 But from now on the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God.” 70 All of them asked, “Are you, then, the Son of God?” He said to them, “You say that I am.” 71 Then they said, “What further testimony do we need? We have heard it ourselves from his own lips!””
