NOW IS THE TIME

Now is the Time

January 27, 2021 7:10 am

My children, the Church has entered into Her Passion.  Since the time my Son walked the earth and formed His Church, it has been opposed, both from without and from within.

But, the Church is not just an institution, but also the very body of My Son Jesus, the Christ.  As such, it must undergo its own Passion, and purification.

As you pray the Holy Rosary, you see in the Sorrowful Mysteries, the aspects of the specific path to Calvary, where Jesus died for all.  Today, the Church is on its way of the Cross.

Your Passion is both personal and a participation in the Passion of the entire body of Christ.  Jesus, in the garden, embraced His specific Passion, but also embraced for the Church her entry into her own Passion.

As the servant is not greater than the Master, the Church and its members individually, must embrace this Passion, and with great courage allow herself to be immolated, as Jesus was.

Jesus, who was God, and could have stopped His Passion, by an act of His Will, patiently submitted Himself to the torture, mocking, and shame of His Crucifixion.

You also, could renounce your faith, submit to the authorities of this day, and avoid much of the temporal suffering that is coming your way.

But, like the apostles, who declined to turn away from Jesus, who they acknowledged as the way, the truth, and the life, by grace that was imparted to them, you too must continue to pray for the grace to not surrender to the temptation to turn away from your own Passion.

Like Jesus, you will be ministered to by angels, during your agony.  Also, like Jesus, your Holy Mother will be there with you along your path, interceding for you, and loving you as only a mother can.

You have Jesus, who has been through it already, as your Guide, and the Holy Spirit to show you the way, moment by moment.

As I waited joyfully for Jesus victory, and return to His heavenly throne, I wait for you to come to your eternal home to be with us and celebrate the victory over the evil one, and his destructive ways.

What a great day that will be!

This message begat a few thoughts for me.

1. If we can believe, as we must that the Church is the body of Christ, which is pretty illogical on its face, why is it so difficult to believe that the Eucharist is truly His Body and Blood?  Both are mysteries.
2. Mary walked with Jesus on the pathway to His Crucifixion, from his infancy until its completion.  Jesus gave Mary to us from the Cross.  Mary has appeared throughout the world often.  Her messages have been of the love of a mother for her first born, but also for her adopted children.  Is part or all of Mary’s real purpose to accompany us on our Passion? 

 

IN THE DESERT

 In the Desert

January 20, 2021 6:45 am

After My Baptism, I was driven to the desert, where I fasted and prayed for 40 days.  After 40 days with no physical nourishment, my body was weakened.  

It was at this time that the devil came to me.  But, he did not come as the devil, but as a friendly man of the desert.  He tempted me with food, protection from harm, and offered me the kingdom of this world, which is still his domain.

You have been starved not for physical food, but for the everlasting, redeeming food of My body and blood.  The devil is an opportunist, and uses whatever is available to him to turn my people away from Me, and lead them astray.

Where I contended with the barren wilderness, and debilitating weather conditions, you are in the midst of a spiritual chaos, that has begotten physical chaos in the world around you.

In the desert, the Father was near to me, and spoke to me of My Mission, and prepared me for the years of ministry that were to follow.

So too, I am preparing you for your mission to the lost tribes of Israel.  In the desert, I lost any fat, I had stored, as well as some muscle, but gained so much more from my time in prayer with My Father and yours.

In your time in the desert, you have been able to turn from many distractions, and focus on Me and let me teach you and open your hearts and minds to the abundance of My Mercy and Love for you and for all mankind.

The devil will tempt you as he did Me, with a false gospel, which will sound nice.  But, I have prepared you to be able to see through this lie, by filling your spirit with the true Gospel.

He will offer you protection from sickness, and from those who would seek to harm you.  But, I have given you Wisdom, which you must constantly call on, to see through his wicked schemes.  Though all will seem lost with no way out, I will lead you to safety.

One of his favorite tricks is to fill your head with thoughts that are temptations to take matters into your own hands.  In my Word, I have told you that the Holy Spirit will give you the words to speak, when it is time.  

The devil wants you to speak religious sounding words in haste and anger, that will turn people away from you, and therefore from Me.  Be quick to listen for My guidance to you, and slow to speak.

As you hunger to receive Me in Eucharist, offer that hunger to me as a sacrifice for those Christians who do not believe in my Eucharistic presence, for those who have lost faith in My Presence, and for all who do not know Me.

As the Father did not abandon Me in the desert, know that I will never abandon you.  I am the Good Shepherd, and am always looking to bring My lost sheep into My fold.

One time you asked me what I wanted from You.  My answer for you and for everyone on the face of the earth, is as it was that day. “Everything!”

THE LIGHT SHINES IN THE DARKNESS

The Light Shines in the Darkness

January 6, 2021 8:45 am

My Children, these are dark days indeed.  But, a light shines in the darkness.  It is the light of my Son Jesus.  Do not despair as disaster upon disaster mounts.  You are people of joy, having knowledge of the saving act of Jesus on the Cross for mankind.

Let His Death and Resurrection be a beacon for you that guides you along the pathway that leads you to your eternal home.  The pathway is treacherous, but the Light of Christ exposes the dangers and pitfalls, and your guardian angels are with you to help you lest you dash your foot against a stone.

Fear not, my children, for I AM is with you always.  Do not be disturbed by what you see in the material world.  Your battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the evil one and his rulers in the spiritual world.

Allow me to give you 20/20 vision in the spiritual world.  As you grow more accustomed to the light of Christ, you will see more clearly what your enemy, the devil, is up to, and will be better prepared to focus your prayers, and your actions in ways that will lead others from their own darkness into His Light.

The Light of Christ is as though of a frequency not visible to the naked eye.  It can only be seen by the eyes of a heart that is surrendered to Jesus.  Surrender yourself to Our Will each day, and you will grow in spiritual sight.

Allow the Holy Spirit to fill you with heavenly Wisdom, which will help you to speak to brothers and sisters who are not seeing the light, so that they might be drawn to the light.  

This is not simple as it might seem, for the children of this world think they see clearly, whereas they are deluded by the lies they have believed.  You too were once so deluded.  Wisdom will overcome your natural desire to judge others, and will give you empathy for them and their situations.

Pray always, at all times.
