The Book of Truth:

I will never ignore those who are lonely, sad, frightened and unsure as to whether or not God Exists

February 7, 2014fatherofloveandmercy

My dearly beloved daughter, as My Messages spread and as they ignite the need to encourage many to turn to Me, many miracles will be witnessed.

Non-believers, those of every faith and those who have cut themselves off from Me because of their sinful lives, will convert. Of that, I promise you. The man whose eyes are closed will open them. Those with hatred in their hearts will cry tears of joy when the weight of their burden is lifted. The man who does not know Me at all will recognise Me. So many will come and call out to Me and the Presence of the Holy Spirit will be felt by many, when they finally accept that I have intervened to save them from all harm.

My daughter, please reassure all those who feel saddened by the way in which My Existence in the world is being denied. Tell them, although every trace of Me will be vanquished, that by the Grace of God, I will continue to enlighten the souls of those who call out to Me. I will never forsake My own. I will never ignore those who are lonely, sad, frightened and unsure as to whether or not God Exists.

By simply moving their pride to one side and asking Me for a sign of My Presence, I will respond to them. Never before have I intervened to such great magnitude, as I do now. It is because of My Desire to save the whole of humanity, that I will cut through to the hearts of those who, up to now, have denied Me, if and when they call out to Me.

I await your response. I anticipate the love and joy, which I will fill your hearts and souls with, at the moment of reconciliation, for that is the sweetness of your conversion. That will be the time when you unlock your soul and allow the Light of God to bring you the greatest Gift you could ever imagine – the Gift of Eternal Life.

Your Jesus

Mother of Salvation: Many will believe the antichrist to be a very holy man

February 7, 2014fatherofloveandmercy

My child, were my Son, Jesus Christ, to walk the Earth at this time, He would be assassinated. No official in His Church would accept Him. He would become a laughing stock, then feared and so despised that they would have Him crucified, just as before.

This time my Son comes in Spirit only and by the Command of my Father, He will not appear on Earth as a man, in the flesh.

I urge that this Message is made clear to all, for many will come in His Name, but one of them will rise to prominence and say that he is my Son, but this will be a lie.

The antichrist will rise and become so powerful that his image will be seen everywhere. Statues will be erected in his image and his face will appear constantly on news and television screens around the world. He will be applauded by the most powerful leaders, but it won’t be until he is openly welcomed and then endorsed by the false prophet that he will truly exert his influence over humanity.

Were my Son to make Himself known in the flesh again and command attention, they would destroy Him. The antichrist will, however, be welcomed into the world and be mistaken for Jesus Christ.

Every Word contained in the Bible, regarding the Second Coming of my Son, will be adapted and twisted, in order to convince the world that they are witnessing the return of Jesus Christ. The enemies of my Son, who mingle with those innocent servants of His in my Son’s Churches everywhere, will be led into grave error. Their leaders will embrace the antichrist and encourage souls to idolize him. His influence will shock many who remain faithful to God and it is important that you safeguard your souls against his hypnotic appeal.

The Medal of Salvation, when carried upon your person, will, along with the other Graces it promises, safeguard you against the power of the antichrist. Make no mistake, the antichrist will enthrall many and he will be seen as the most powerful, popular, charismatic and influential leader of all time. Many will believe the antichrist to be a very holy man and, because of his links to my Son’s Church, people in their millions will convert to what they will believe to be the Truth. This false exterior of holiness will bring tears of joy to all those who have had no faith in their lives up to then, nor belief in God. They will lavish praise upon this man and give him the credit for saving their souls.

At first, the antichrist will be seen as a great leader with an appealing, charming and lovable allure. Then in time, he will start to exhibit healing powers and many people will come forward and claim to be healed by him. Many will also claim to witness miracles in his presence. Then a series of false apparitions, in which the image of the sign of the Holy Spirit will be seen, will appear everywhere.

The media will create a godlike image of him and very few will dare to publicly rebuke him. Because of his command of many languages, he will fool millions in a very short period of time. Then, the rumours that Jesus Christ has come back a second time, will begin. These will be fuelled by those who will work tirelessly for the antichrist by spreading lies, until eventually he will be mistaken for my Son. All of these events sound far-fetched now, but when they all unravel before you, it will seem like a natural series of events, which will be seen by many as uplifting.

Then, just as every evil falsity is presented to the world back to front by Satan – the antichrist, through satanic rituals, will be seen to ascend into Heaven. My Son, on His return, will be seen descending upon the clouds – the reverse of when He ascended into Heaven – just as He promised.

Then, the antichrist and all those who slavishly adored him will be thrown into the lake of fire and peace will be yours, dear children. For all those who remain loyal to the Truth, they will, in the blink of an eye, be raised into the New Paradise, when Heaven and Earth become one.

Your beloved Mother

The Book of Truth:

Mother of Salvation: This final Medal, brought to you by me, through the Mercy of God, will draw billions of souls towards Eternal Life

January 20, 2014fatherofloveandmercy

My dear child, God wants to save every single person, of every single faith, as well as those who deny the Existence of Him and His Son, Jesus Christ. This is why people of every age, every culture and every denomination, must receive a Medal of Salvation.

Each person who is given a Medal, even if it cannot be blessed, will be given an extraordinary Gift. Soon afterwards, God will instill in them a Grace, an insight into their own helplessness and an awareness of God’s Almighty Love. He will enlighten even the most stubborn of souls and those with hearts of stone. Soon they will seek the Truth and then they will call out to God, begging Him to help ease their hearts and fill them with His Great Mercy.


Do not reject the Gift of the Medal of Salvation, because this final Medal, brought to you by me, through the Mercy of God, will draw billions of souls towards Eternal Life. When My Father gave me the instruction to present the world with the Most Holy Rosary to St. Dominic, many rejected it. They still do today, for they think it was created by me. It was given to me, so that anyone who recited it could protect themselves from the evil one. It is through my intercession that special Graces and protection are bequeathed to souls, against the influence of the evil one.

Do not make the mistake of rejecting this Medal as it is for the whole world and many miracles will be associated with it. Those who do reject it or try to prevent others from accepting it will deny salvation – especially atheists, who are in greatest need of Divine Intervention. You must always place those people who reject God before My Father’s Throne and beg for Mercy for their souls.

Please ensure that the Medal of Salvation is provided to as many people as possible.

Your beloved Mother

The Book of Truth:

Mother of Salvation: These Medals will convert all souls, who are open to the Mercy of my Son, Jesus Christ

September 14, 2013fatherofloveandmercy

O, my child, just as I loved my Son, from the moment I looked into His beautiful Face, so do I love all of God’s children as my very own.

I am the Mother of God, but I am also the Mother of all of God’s children, as I pledged to help them in their moment of final salvation. My Son, when He crowned me at my Coronation in Heaven, gave me the authority to become the Mother of the twelve tribes – the twelve nations in the New Jerusalem.

Before that day dawns, I, as the Mother of Salvation, will seek out souls everywhere and draw them to my Son. I help Him in this onerous task and just as my Heart is entwined in His, it is also entwined within the hearts of those who truly love my Son.

As your Mother, I love all of God’s children. I feel the same love for each of you as any mother feels for her young. I see God’s children as if all of them were just little children. I feel their pain. I suffer with my Son when He looks upon sinners, who reject the Love He has for them. How He agonises over them and how many tears I now cry as I watch the wretchedness of man grow because of the spread of sin. Yet, there is still much love alive in the world. This love, when it is pure, will withstand the darkness and, like a beacon, it will attract souls towards it. This is the way God will work in order to enlighten humanity. He will use the love of those who love Him to bring Him the souls of the rest.

My duty is to offer as many sinners as possible the chance to save their souls. I do this through the apparitions, which are witnessed when I appear, in order to ignite the faith of sinners everywhere. I now do this by providing the Medal of Salvation.

My child, as I have said, this Medal must be made available to the world through you and based on my instructions to you. These instructions are only being made known to you.

These Medals will convert all souls who are open to the Mercy of my Son, Jesus Christ. This will then result in the salvation of millions.

Thank you, children, for opening up your hearts to me, your Mother and for showing obedience to my beloved Son, Jesus Christ, the Saviour of mankind.

Your Mother

Mother of Salvation The Medal of Salvation offers the Gift of Conversion

July 18, 2013fatherofloveandmercy

My child, I wish it to be made known that, from now on, I am to be addressed by the last title, given to me by my Son, on Earth. In this, the Final Mission, I am to be referred to, at all times, as the Mother of Salvation.

My Image is to be created and a Medal struck where, on one side, I am to be placed with the sun behind my head and where twelve stars woven into a crown of thorns sits on my head. On the reverse side of the Medal, I wish to depict the Sacred Heart of my Son with the Two Swords of Salvation, which are to be crossed on each side.

The Swords of Salvation will have a dual purpose. The First Sword will slay the beast and I have been given the authority to do this on the Final Day. The other Sword will pierce the hearts of the most hardened sinners and will be the Sword by which their souls will be saved.

This Medal is to be made available in bulk and then, when received by those seeking them out, must be blessed by a priest and then given freely to others. The Medal of Salvation offers the Gift of Conversion, and Salvation.

All those who receive the Medal of Salvation must recite this Crusade Prayer (115) For the Gift of Conversion:

O Mother of Salvation, cover my soul with your tears of Salvation.

Rid me of doubts.

Lift my heart, so that I will feel the Presence of your Son.

Bring me peace and solace. 

Pray that I will be truly converted.

Help me to accept the Truth and open my heart to receive the Mercy of your Son, Jesus Christ.

Amen.

My child, please have this Medal designed and made. I will guide you every step of the way and then you must ensure that it is made available throughout the world.

Go in peace to serve my Son.

Your Mother

Feast Day of the Mother of Salvation

The Book of Truth:
Wednesday, 6 May, 2015, 22.31

My dearly beloved daughter, My Tears flow in great torrents at this time as the Holy Word of God is being torn asunder.

Love for Me, Jesus Christ, has dissipated and the spirit of My Church is drying up so that, soon, it will become but just a desert. It will be bereft of life and only the true faithful among My Church will keep the Heart of My Love beating steadily, while everything else, which surrounds it, will become dehydrated with every ounce of life sucked from it.

Never before, since My Crucifixion, has Christianity endured such persecution because of contempt against the Word of God.
 
All that is held sacred in My Father’s Heavenly Kingdom is being decimated by man, whose heart no longer feels love for his Creator God the Most High. Those who remain faithful to Him, and who love and cherish Him, will feel His Pain within their hearts like a sword, which pierces and inflicts terrible suffering but which will not kill. For those with true love for God will be unable to separate from Him because they are attached to Him by an umbilical cord, which cannot be severed.

God, through His Mercy, will destroy His enemies who try to steal the souls of those whose names are contained in the Book of Life. My Time is almost upon you.

Never give up hope or despair, when you witness the work of My nemesis and the speed by which his cunning wicked ways are accepted by unsuspecting souls. I am firstmost a God of Great Patience and My Mercy will be poured over the human race in abundance amidst the flames of My Love. These flames will instil a renewal of faith in Me by those who have fallen away from Me, just as they will destroy Satan and every demon and fallen angel who hold hostage those souls who belong to Me, but who have separated from Me.

My Time will come, but not before the world will see the signs foretold in the Book of Revelation and the Book of Truth. Do not fear Me. Prepare for Me. Reject the false promises made by My enemies. Remain true, always, to My Word. My enemies will have no part in My Kingdom. My beloved faithful, including those who call out to Me, during the Warning, will never die. For theirs is the New Kingdom – My Kingdom – the One promised to Me, the Messiah, the King for all time – a world without end. 

This may be a time of confusion, division, sadness and a longing for those who represent Me on this earth to proclaim the Truth. But know this. I Am the Truth. The Truth never dies. My Kingdom is eternal and you, My beloved children, belong to Me. Come. Stay close to Me. I will lead you to your rightful inheritance. Trust in Me. Listen to Me through these Messages – the Book of Truth. It is God’s Gift to you so that you will never forget My Promise to come again to judge the living – those alive on this earth as well as those who died in My Favour.

I will show signs of every kind all over the world now. Those who are blessed with the Gift of the Holy Spirit, will know they have been sent to you by the Command of My beloved Father.

Go in Peace. Listen to Me only through these messages at this time.
 
I love you all dearly and I have claimed you as Mine. Let no man attempt to steal one single soul from Me, for he will suffer eternal torment for his actions.

Your Jesus”

Our Lord, Jesus Christ, the Eternal High Priest

Or
READ FROM the book of the prophet Isaiah
He was stabbed for our sins.
Thus the Lord saith: Behold, my servant shall triumph, shall be high, and be exalted, and rise to great glory.
As many were horrified at him— for he seemed so inglorious, and had hardly a human face, many nations would marvel at him, and kings would fall silent before him.
Because they will see something they have never been told before, and they will witness something they have never heard before.
Who believed in what we heard, and the arm of the Lord manifested itself before who?
He grew up in front of us like a shoot and like a root from the thirsty earth.
It wasn’t nice or eloquent to look at him, he wasn’t attractive to the outside.
He was despised, the last among men, a man of pain who knew what
suffering was, one from whom we covered our faces with horror, despised, whom we did not appreciate.
Although he bore our illnesses and was in our pain, we still saw him (from God) as beaten, one who was afflicted by God and humiliated.
Yes, he was stabbed for our sins, broken for our
wickedness, punished for our peace, his wounds brought us healing!
All of us, like sheep, wandered, and each went on his own path, and yet the Lord put the wickedness of all of us on his shoulders. He was tortured, and he was humbled, he did not open his mouth.
Like the sheep, which is taken to kill, or as soon as the lamb is muted in front of its shear, he has not opened his mouth. He was convicted of rape.
Who cares about your case?

Yes, it was ripped from the land of the living, and he was smitten with death for the sins of my people.
They gave him a tomb among the wicked, and buried him next to the rich, though he did not do evil, nor deceit in his mouth.
The Lord liked it by crushing him with
suffering.
If he gives his life as an atoning sacrifice, he will see his posterity, his long life will stretch, and the will of the Lord will be fulfilled through him.
Because his soul has suffered, he will see the light and fill with satisfaction.
Many are justified by my servant, for he has taken upon himself their
iniquities.
Therefore, I give him many in his class, and the great will be prey for which
he gave his life to death and was classified among the villains, even though he carried the transgressions of many, while praying for the sinners.
It’s the word of God.

Iz 52.13-53.12

PSALM CHOSEN
Answer: Behold, I will come, Lord, to do your will. (verses 8a and 9a– Tone 7b.)
Pre-singer: Lord, my God, you have done many great miracles for us: * there is no one like you.
I desire to fulfill your will, My God, your law fills my heart with joy.
Believers: Behold, I will come, Lord, to do your will.
E: I proclaim your truth in the great community, my lips will not be silent, Lord, you know that.
I have not hidden your truth in my heart, I have spoken of your loyalty and help.
H: Behold, I will come, Lord, to do your will.
Psalm 39.6ab.9bc.10-11ab

Or
HOLY LESSON FROM THE LETTER TO The Jews
Christ made the chosen forever perfect with a single sacrifice.
Brethren!
Christ presented only one sacrifice for sins and took a place forever on the right of God. All he’s waiting for is for all his enemies to fall at his feet with homage.
With one sacrifice, he perfected the consecrated forever.
This is evidenced by the Holy Ghost when it speaks (by the prophet Jeremiah):
This is the covenant i make with them after those days, saith the Lord. I write my law in their hearts and engrave it in their minds, and i no longer think of their sins and disobedience.
And where these sins have been forgiven, sacrifice for sin is no longer necessary.
Brethren, for the blood of Christ, therefore, we have the hope of entering the sanctuary. He opened this new way to life through the curtain, his own body.
We also have a high priest whom God has ordained over his people. Let us therefore contribute with a sincere heart and with faith, for our hearts have been cleansed of bad conscience, and our bodies have been washed down with pure water. Let us stand unwaveringly in the declaration of our hope, for the one who made the promise is faithful.
It’s the word of God.
Heb 10,12-18

ALLELUJA
Behold, my servant, whom I support, has chosen †, in whom I feel like it. ♪ I’ve poured my soul out to bring justice to the nations ♪ Tone Iz 42,1 to 9.

† GOSPEL from the book of St. Luke
Put this in my memory.
As the hour of Easter dinner arrived, Jesus sat at the table with his apostles.
He said to them: “I longed to spend this Easter dinner with you before I suffer. I say unto you, I will no longer eat this until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.” Then he took the chalice, gave thanks, and said, “Take it, and divide it among yourselves. I say unto you, I will not drink from the fruit of the grapeuntil the kingdom of God comes.”
Then he took bread in his hand, gave thanks, broke it, and gave it to them with the words, “This is my body, which is given for you. Put this in my memory.” In the same way, at the end of the dinner, he took the chalice and said, “This chalice is the new covenant in my blood, which will be shed for you.”
These are the words of the gospel.
Lk 22,14-20″

Festus Consults King Agrippa

13 After several days had passed, King Agrippa and Bernice arrived at Caesarea to welcome Festus. 14 Since they were staying there several days, Festus laid Paul’s case before the king, saying, “There is a man here who was left in prison by Felix. 15 When I was in Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews informed me about him and asked for a sentence against him. 16 I told them that it was not the custom of the Romans to hand over anyone before the accused had met the accusers face to face and had been given an opportunity to make a defense against the charge. 17 So when they met here, I lost no time, but on the next day took my seat on the tribunal and ordered the man to be brought. 18 When the accusers stood up, they did not charge him with any of the crimes[a] that I was expecting. 19 Instead they had certain points of disagreement with him about their own religion and about a certain Jesus, who had died, but whom Paul asserted to be alive.

—————————

“… 23 On that day you will ask nothing of me.[a] Very truly, I tell you, if you ask anything of the Father in my name, he will give it to you.[b] 24 Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be complete.

Peace for the Disciples

25 “I have said these things to you in figures of speech. The hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figures, but will tell you plainly of the Father. 26 On that day you will ask in my name. I do not say to you that I will ask the Father on your behalf; 27 for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me and have believed that I came from God.[c] 28 I came from the Father and have come into the world; again, I am leaving the world and am going to the Father.”

29 His disciples said, “Yes, now you are speaking plainly, not in any figure of speech! 30 Now we know that you know all things, and do not need to have anyone question you; by this we believe that you came from God.” 31 Jesus answered them, “Do you now believe? 32 The hour is coming, indeed it has come, when you will be scattered, each one to his home, and you will leave me alone. Yet I am not alone because the Father is with me. 33 I have said this to you, so that in me you may have peace. In the world you face persecution. But take courage; I have conquered the world!”

Mother of Salvation: The Feast Day of the Mother of Salvation, will be the last day accorded to me, the Mother of God

My dear children, salvation can only be bequeathed by my Son, Jesus Christ, to souls who accept His Divine Mercy.

medalactual_5

The Medal of Salvation, however, is an exceptional Gift from Heaven given to the world because of the great love my Son has for all God’s children. Through the powers given to me, by the command of my Eternal Father, this Medal will be responsible for the salvation of billions of souls. This is made possible because once a soul accepts this Medal with an open heart it will result in conversion.

My role as Co-Redemptrix, in assisting my Son in His great plan to unite everyone and to bring them Eternal Life, has been established. As the Mother of Salvation, all powers assigned to me to crush the serpent’s head has meant that his power will diminish quickly. This is why he, the evil one, despises this Medal and he will use every soul he infests, to scream obscenities and fight it. You must ignore the spirit of evil at all times and pray to me, your beloved Mother, on this special day, in the years ahead, for special graces. I declare this day, June 04, 2014, as the Feast Day of the Mother of Salvation.  On this day, when you recite this prayer, I will intercede on behalf of all souls for the Gift of Salvation, especially for those who are in great spiritual darkness of the soul.

Crusade Prayer (154) Feast day of Mother of Salvation Prayer:

O Mother of Salvation, I place before you today on this day, June 4th, the Feast day of the Mother of Salvation, the souls of the following (list names).

Please give me and all those who honour you, dear Mother, and who distribute the Medal of Salvation, every protection from the evil one and all those who reject the mercy of your beloved Son, Jesus Christ, and all the gifts He bequeaths to humanity.

Pray, dear Mother, that all souls will be granted the Gift of Eternal Salvation.  Amen.

Children, remember what I have told you, always call on me, your Mother, to come to your aid in times of great need. I will always intercede, on your behalf, to bring you peace and comfort at all times in your quest to become close to my Son.

Today, the Feast day of the Mother of Salvation, will be the last day accorded to me, the Mother of God. Rejoice for all the angels and saints unite at this time, because of the souls who will now be protected from the evil one and whose fate will now rest with my Son.

Your beloved Mother
Mother of Salvation”

 
 
“…  I had been sent to make His Name known, and I said that I will continue to make it known and so I am; My Word is Truth; do not be surprised when I descend now and then to remind you of the Father, so now, you too, daughter, be My witness; I have chosen a few to manifest My Power in them and reveal to the world the fathoms of My Riches to glorify My Name; in your days, I and My Mother appear to a number of people; I have signed My Name in oil all over them to enable them too to carry out the work I have given them; pray for these souls that they may accomplish their mission with zeal too to glorify Me; …”

Tuesday of the Seventh Week of Easter
Lectionary: 298

Reading 1ACTS 20:17-27

From Miletus Paul had the presbyters
of the Church at Ephesus summoned.
When they came to him, he addressed them,
“You know how I lived among you
the whole time from the day I first came to the province of Asia.
I served the Lord with all humility
and with the tears and trials that came to me
because of the plots of the Jews,
and I did not at all shrink from telling you
what was for your benefit,
or from teaching you in public or in your homes.
I earnestly bore witness for both Jews and Greeks
to repentance before God and to faith in our Lord Jesus.
But now, compelled by the Spirit, I am going to Jerusalem.
What will happen to me there I do not know,
except that in one city after another
the Holy Spirit has been warning me
that imprisonment and hardships await me.

Yet I consider life of no importance to me,
if only I may finish my course
and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus,
to bear witness to the Gospel of God’s grace.”But now I know that none of you
to whom I preached the kingdom during my travels
will ever see my face again.
And so I solemnly declare to you this day
that I am not responsible for the blood of any of you,
for I did not shrink from proclaiming to you the entire plan of God.”

Responsorial PsalmPS 68:10-11, 20-21

GospelJN 17:1-11A

Jesus raised his eyes to heaven and said,
“Father, the hour has come.
Give glory to your son, so that your son may glorify you,
just as you gave him authority over all people,
so that your son may give eternal life to all you gave him.
Now this is eternal life,
that they should know you, the only true God,
and the one whom you sent, Jesus Christ.
I glorified you on earth
by accomplishing the work that you gave me to do.
Now glorify me, Father, with you,
with the glory that I had with you before the world began.”I revealed your name to those whom you gave me out of the world.
They belonged to you, and you gave them to me,
and they have kept your word.
Now they know that everything you gave me is from you,
because the words you gave to me I have given to them,
and they accepted them and truly understood that I came from you,
and they have believed that you sent me.
I pray for them.
I do not pray for the world but for the ones you have given me,
because they are yours, and everything of mine is yours
and everything of yours is mine,
and I have been glorified in them.
And now I will no longer be in the world,
but they are in the world, while I am coming to you.””

“… 30 While God has overlooked the times of human ignorance, now he commands all people everywhere to repent, 31 because he has fixed a day on which he will have the world judged in righteousness by a man whom he has appointed, and of this he has given assurance to all by raising him from the dead.”32 When they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some scoffed; but others said, “We will hear you again about this.” 33 At that point Paul left them.”https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Acts+17:19-33&version=NRSVCE;NR2006;SCH2000;ERV-HU;BDS
“…

19 The Pharisees then said to one another, “You see, you can do nothing. Look, the world has gone after him!”

Some Greeks Wish to See Jesus

20 Now among those who went up to worship at the festival were some Greeks. 21 They came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and said to him, “Sir, we wish to see Jesus.” 22 Philip went and told Andrew; then Andrew and Philip went and told Jesus. 23 Jesus answered them, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. 24 Very truly, I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains just a single grain; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. 25 Those who love their life lose it, and those who hate their life in this world will keep it for eternal life26 Whoever serves me must follow me, and where I am, there will my servant be also. Whoever serves me, the Father will honor.

Jesus Speaks about His Death

27 “Now my soul is troubled. And what should I say—‘Father, save me from this hour’? No, it is for this reason that I have come to this hour. 28 Father, glorify your name.” Then a voice came from heaven, “I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again.” 29 The crowd standing there heard it and said that it was thunder. Others said, “An angel has spoken to him.” 30 Jesus answered, “This voice has come for your sake, not for mine. 31 Now is the judgment of this world; now the ruler of this world will be driven out. 32 And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people[a] to myself.” 33 He said this to indicate the kind of death he was to die. 34 The crowd answered him, “We have heard from the law that the Messiah[b] remains forever. How can you say that the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?” 35 Jesus said to them, “The light is with you for a little longer. Walk while you have the light, so that the darkness may not overtake you. If you walk in the darkness, you do not know where you are going. 36 While you have the light, believe in the light, so that you may become children of light.”

The Unbelief of the People

After Jesus had said this, he departed and hid from them. …

My Love never wilts; never falters; never dies. No matter what you have done

My Love is eternal. Your soul is eternal. My Kingdom is eternal and so is the Kingdom of the evil one.

When you are guilty of terrible sin, you must fight every single second to remove yourself from danger and strive to remain true to Me at all times. The easiest way to do this is to love one another as I love you. Anything that removes you from love for one another does not come from Me.

Your Jesus”

 

1027. Mother of Salvation: This final Medal, brought to you by me, through the Mercy of God, will draw billions of souls towards Eternal Life

The Book of Truth:
Monday, January 20th, 2014, 12:09

My dear child, God wants to save every single person, of every single faith, as well as those who deny the Existence of Him and His Son, Jesus Christ. This is why people of every age, every culture and every denomination, must receive a Medal of Salvation.

Each person who is given a Medal, even if it cannot be blessed, will be given an extraordinary Gift. Soon afterwards, God will instill in them a Grace, an insight into their own helplessness and an awareness of God’s Almighty Love. He will enlighten even the most stubborn of souls and those with hearts of stone. Soon they will seek the Truth and then they will call out to God, begging Him to help ease their hearts and fill them with His Great Mercy.

Do not reject the Gift of the Medal of Salvation, because this final Medal, brought to you by me, through the Mercy of God, will draw billions of souls towards Eternal Life. When My Father gave me the instruction to present the world with the Most Holy Rosary to St. Dominic, many rejected it. They still do today, for they think it was created by me. It was given to me, so that anyone who recited it could protect themselves from the evil one. It is through my intercession that special Graces and protection are bequeathed to souls, against the influence of the evil one.

Do not make the mistake of rejecting this Medal as it is for the whole world and many miracles will be associated with it. Those who do reject it or try to prevent others from accepting it will deny salvation – especially atheists, who are in greatest need of Divine Intervention. You must always place those people who reject God before My Father’s Throne and beg for Mercy for their souls.

Please ensure that the Medal of Salvation is provided to as many people as possible.

Your beloved Mother, Mother of Salvation”

Reading 1 Is 62:1-5

For Zion’s sake I will not be silent,
for Jerusalem’s sake I will not be quiet,
until her vindication shines forth like the dawn
and her victory like a burning torch.Nations shall behold your vindication,
and all the kings your glory;
you shall be called by a new name
pronounced by the mouth of the LORD.
You shall be a glorious crown in the hand of the LORD,
a royal diadem held by your God.
No more shall people call you “Forsaken, ”
or your land “Desolate, ”
but you shall be called “My Delight, ”
and your land “Espoused.”
For the LORD delights in you
and makes your land his spouse.
As a young man marries a virgin,
your Builder shall marry you;
and as a bridegroom rejoices in his bride
so shall your God rejoice in you.

Reading 2 1 Cor 12:4-11

Brothers and sisters:
There are different kinds of spiritual gifts but the same Spirit;
there are different forms of service but the same Lord;
there are different workings but the same God
who produces all of them in everyone.
To each individual the manifestation of the Spirit
is given for some benefit.
To one is given through the Spirit the expression of wisdom;
to another, the expression of knowledge according to the
same Spirit;
to another, faith by the same Spirit;
to another, gifts of healing by the one Spirit;
to another, mighty deeds;
to another, prophecy;
to another, discernment of spirits;
to another, varieties of tongues;
to another, interpretation of tongues.
But one and the same Spirit produces all of these,
distributing them individually to each person as he wishes.

R. Alleluia, alleluia.
God has called us through the Gospel
to possess the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Gospel Jn 2:1-11

There was a wedding at Cana in Galilee,
and the mother of Jesus was there.
Jesus and his disciples were also invited to the wedding.
When the wine ran short,
the mother of Jesus said to him,
“They have no wine.”
And Jesus said to her,
“Woman, how does your concern affect me?
My hour has not yet come.”
His mother said to the servers,
“Do whatever he tells you.”
Now there were six stone water jars there for Jewish ceremonial washings,
each holding twenty to thirty gallons.
Jesus told the them,
“Fill the jars with water.”
So they filled them to the brim.
Then he told them,
“Draw some out now and take it to the headwaiter.”
So they took it.
And when the headwaiter tasted the water that had become wine,
without knowing where it came from
— although the servers who had drawn the water knew —,
the headwaiter called the bridegroom and said to him,
“Everyone serves good wine first,
and then when people have drunk freely, an inferior one;
but you have kept the good wine until now.”
Jesus did this as the beginning of his signs at Cana in Galilee
and so revealed his glory,
and his disciples began to believe in him.”

914. Mother of Salvation: These Medals will convert all souls, who are open to the Mercy of my Son, Jesus Christ

The Book of Truth:
Saturday, September 14th, 2013, 16:10

 

O, my child, just as I loved my Son, from the moment I looked into His beautiful Face, so do I love all of God’s children as my very own.

I am the Mother of God, but I am also the Mother of all of God’s children, as I pledged to help them in their moment of final salvation. My Son, when He crowned me at my Coronation in Heaven, gave me the authority to become the Mother of the twelve tribes – the twelve nations in the New Jerusalem. Before that day dawns, I, as the Mother of Salvation, will seek out souls everywhere and draw them to my Son. I help Him in this onerous task and just as my Heart is entwined in His, it is also entwined within the hearts of those who truly love my Son.

As your Mother, I love all of God’s children. I feel the same love for each of you as any mother feels for her young. I see God’s children as if all of them were just little children. I feel their pain. I suffer with my Son when He looks upon sinners, who reject the Love He has for them. How He agonises over them and how many tears I now cry as I watch the wretchedness of man grow because of the spread of sin. Yet, there is still much love alive in the world. This love, when it is pure, will withstand the darkness and, like a beacon, it will attract souls towards it. This is the way God will work in order to enlighten humanity. He will use the love of those who love Him to bring Him the souls of the rest.

My duty is to offer as many sinners as possible the chance to save their souls. I do this through the apparitions, which are witnessed when I appear, in order to ignite the faith of sinners everywhere. I now do this by providing the Medal of Salvation. My child, as I have said, this Medal must be made available to the world through you and based on my instructions to you. These instructions are only being made known to you. These Medals will convert all souls who are open to the Mercy of my Son, Jesus Christ. This will then result in the salvation of millions.

Thank you, children, for opening up your heart to me, your Mother and for showing obedience to my beloved Son, Jesus Christ, the Saviour of mankind.

Your Mother, Mother of Salvation”

 
 
“Message, 25. August 2018
“Dear children! This is a time of grace. Little children, pray more, speak less and permit God to lead you on the way of conversion. I am with you and love you with my motherly love. Thank you for having responded to my call.

Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross
Lectionary: 638

Reading 1 Nm 21:4b-9

With their patience worn out by the journey,
the people complained against God and Moses,
“Why have you brought us up from Egypt to die in this desert,
where there is no food or water?
We are disgusted with this wretched food!”In punishment the LORD sent among the people saraph serpents,
which bit the people so that many of them
died.
Then the people came to Moses and said,
“We have sinned in complaining against the LORD and you.
Pray the LORD to take the serpents from us.”
So Moses prayed for the people, and the LORD said to Moses,
“Make a saraph and mount it on a pole,
and if any who have been bitten look at it, they will live.”

Moses accordingly made a bronze serpent and mounted it on a pole,
and whenever anyone who had been bitten by a serpent
looked at the bronze serpent, he lived.

Responsorial Psalm Ps 78:1bc-2, 34-35, 36-37, 38

R. (see 7b) Do not forget the works of the Lord!
Hearken, my people, to my teaching;
incline your ears to the words of my mouth.
I will open my mouth in a parable,
I will utter mysteries from of old.
R. Do not forget the works of the Lord!
While he slew them they sought him
and inquired after God again,
Remembering that God was their rock
and the Most High God, their redeemer.

R. Do not forget the works of the Lord!
But they flattered him with their mouths
and lied to him with their tongues,
Though their hearts were not steadfast toward him,
nor were they faithful to his covenant.
R. Do not forget the works of the Lord!
But he, being merciful, forgave their sin
and destroyed them not;
Often he turned back his anger
and let none of his wrath be roused.

R. Do not forget the works of the Lord!

Reading 2 Phil 2:6-11

Brothers and sisters:
Christ Jesus, though he was in the form of God,
did not regard equality with God something to be grasped.
Rather, he emptied himself,
taking the form of a slave,
coming in human likeness;
and found human in appearance,
he humbled himself,
becoming obedient to death,
even death on a cross.
Because of this, God greatly exalted him
and bestowed on him
the name
that is above every name,
that at the
name of Jesus
every knee should bend,
of those in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
and every tongue confess that
Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.

Alleluia

R. Alleluia, alleluia.
We adore you, O Christ, and we bless you,
because by your Cross you have redeemed the world.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.

Gospel Jn 3:13-17

Jesus said to Nicodemus:
“No one has gone up to heaven
except the one who has come down from heaven, the Son of Man.
And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert,
so must the
Son of Man be lifted up,
so that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life.”
For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son,
so that everyone who believes in him might not perish
but might have eternal life.
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world,
but that the world might be saved through him.”

Bitter Water Made Sweet

22 Then Moses ordered Israel to set out from the Red Sea,[a] and they went into the wilderness of Shur. They went three days in the wilderness and found no water. 23 When they came to Marah, they could not drink the water of Marah because it was bitter. That is why it was called Marah.[b] 24 And the people complained against Moses, saying, “What shall we drink?” 25 He cried out to the Lord; and the Lord showed him a piece of wood;[c] he threw it into the water, and the water became sweet.

There the Lord[d] made for them a statute and an ordinance and there he put them to the test. 26 He said, “If you will listen carefully to the voice of the Lord your God, and do what is right in his sight, and give heed to his commandments and keep all his statutes, I will not bring upon you any of the diseases that I brought upon the Egyptians; for I am the Lord who heals you.”

27 Then they came to Elim, where there were twelve springs of water and seventy palm trees; and they camped there by the water.”

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Exodus+15%3A22-33&version=NRSVCE;NR2006;SCH2000;ERV-HU;BDS

11 My child, do not despise the Lord’s discipline
    or be weary of his reproof,
12 for the Lord reproves the one he loves,
    as a father the son in whom he delights.

The True Wealth

13 Happy are those who find wisdom,
    and those who get understanding,
14 for her income is better than silver,
    and her revenue better than gold.
15 She is more precious than jewels,
    and nothing you desire can compare with her.
16 Long life is in her right hand;
    in her left hand are riches and honor.
17 Her ways are ways of pleasantness,
    and all her paths are peace.
18 She is a tree of life to those who lay hold of her;
    those who hold her fast are called happy.”

“…In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace that he lavished on us. With all wisdom and insight he has made known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure that he set forth in Christ, 10 as a plan for the fullness of time, to gather up all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth. 11 In Christ we have also obtained an inheritance,[c] having been destined according to the purpose of him who accomplishes all things according to his counsel and will, 12 so that we, who were the first to set our hope on Christ, might live for the praise of his glory. 13 In him you also, when you had heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and had believed in him, were marked with the seal of the promised Holy Spirit; 14 this[d] is the pledge of our inheritance toward redemption as God’s own people, to the praise of his glory.

Paul’s Prayer

15 I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love[e] toward all the saints, and for this reason 16 I do not cease to give thanks for you as I remember you in my prayers. 17 I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation as you come to know him,”

Tuesday of the Fifteenth Week in Ordinary Time

Lectionary: 390

Reading 1 Is 7:1-9

In the days of Ahaz, king of Judah, son of Jotham, son of Uzziah,
Rezin, king of Aram,
and Pekah, king of Israel, son of Remaliah,
went up to attack Jerusalem,
but they were not able to conquer it.
When word came to the house of David that Aram
was encamped in Ephraim,
the heart of the king and the heart of the people trembled,
as the trees of the forest tremble in the wind.

Then the LORD said to Isaiah: Go out to meet Ahaz,
you and your son Shear-jashub,
at the end of the conduit of the upper pool,
on the highway of the fuller’s field, and say to him:
Take care you remain tranquil and do not fear;
let not your courage fail

before these two stumps of smoldering brands
the blazing anger of Rezin and the Arameans,
and of the son Remaliah,
because of the mischief that
Aram, Ephraim and the son of Remaliah,
plots against you, saying,
“Let us go up and tear Judah asunder, make it our own by force,
and appoint the son of Tabeel king there.”

Thus says the LORD:
This shall not stand, it shall not be!
Damascus is the capital of Aram,
and Rezin is the head of Damascus;
Samaria is the capital of Ephraim,
and Remaliah’s son the head of Samaria.

But within sixty years and five,
Ephraim shall be crushed, no longer a nation.
Unless your faith is firm
you shall not be firm!

Responsorial Psalm pS 48:2-3a, 3b-4, 5-6, 7-8

R. (see 9d) God upholds his city for ever.
Great is the LORD and wholly to be praised
in the city of our God.
His holy mountain, fairest of heights,
is the joy of all the earth.
R. God upholds his city for ever.
Mount Zion, “the recesses of the North,”
is the city of the great King.
God is with her castles;
renowned is he as a stronghold.
R. God upholds his city for ever.
For lo! the kings assemble,
they come on together;
They also see, and at once are stunned,
terrified, routed.
R. God upholds his city for ever.
Quaking seizes them there;
anguish, like a woman’s in labor,
As though a wind from the east
were shattering ships of Tarshish.
R. God upholds his city for ever.

Jesus began to reproach the towns
where most of his mighty deeds had been done,
since they had not repented.
“Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida!
For if the mighty deeds done in your midst
had been done in Tyre and Sidon,
they would long ago have repented in sackcloth and ashes.
But I tell you, it will be more tolerable
for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you.
And as for you, Capernaum:Will you be exalted to heaven?
You will go down to the nether world.
For if the mighty deeds done in your midst had been done in Sodom,
it would have remained until this day.
But I tell you, it will be more tolerable
for the land of Sodom on the day of judgment than for you.” “

Orthodox (Greek Catholic):
“…
5 Nevertheless, God was not pleased with most of them, and they were struck down in the wilderness.Now these things occurred as examples for us, so that we might not desire evil as they did. Do not become idolaters as some of them did; as it is written, “The people sat down to eat and drink, and they rose up to play.” We must not indulge in sexual immorality as some of them did, and twenty-three thousand fell in a single day. We must not put Christ[a] to the test, as some of them did, and were destroyed by serpents. 10 And do not complain as some of them did, and were destroyed by the destroyer. 11 These things happened to them to serve as an example, and they were written down to instruct us, on whom the ends of the ages have come. 12 So if you think you are standing, watch out that you do not fall.https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Corinthians+10%3A5-12&version=NRSVCE;NR2006;SCH2000;ERV-HU;BDS
“… 6 Jesus said to them, “Watch out, and beware (keep your hearts away from * editor) of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees. They said to one another, “It is because we have brought no bread.” And becoming aware of it, Jesus said, “You of little faith, why are you talking about having no bread? Do you still not perceive? Do you not remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many baskets you gathered? 10 Or the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many baskets you gathered? 11 How could you fail to perceive that I was not speaking about bread? Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees!” 12 Then they understood that he had not told them to beware of the yeast of bread, but (keep your hearts away from * editor) of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
