JESUS

“My dear apostles, I am directing you. I am giving you guidance. I am prompting you, again and again. Do you hear Me? Are you learning to separate My voice from the voices of the world? Do you hear Me when I urge you to greater and greater abandonment? You are suffering, I know. I am listening to your prayers and I am with you in your pain. Please do not think that you are experiencing suffering simply because you are serving Me. Look at those who do not serve Me or even those who do not know Me. Are their lives free from suffering? I am helping you to reject the temptation to believe that if you were not walking this path with Me you would be freed from suffering. It is not true. It would be true to say that if you were not united to Me, you would be suffering without the benefit of My companionship. Such lonely suffering. Such hopeless pain. Instead, I offer you the widest variety of consolations. I offer you understanding of the relationship between sacrifice and holiness. I offer you soothing graces to assist you in preparing your soul for Heaven and bringing others comfort and grace. Dearest apostles, you are surrounded by Heaven. You are surrounded by grace which supports you, even when you feel you are unsupported. If you feel you cannot stand, allow yourself to fall back and rest in My arms. I will care for you and give you all that you need to continue. Your life is changing, it is true. This should not alarm you. You should expect your life to change as I draw you more and more fully into the plan that I have for your time of service to Heaven. It is always the way that I bring you forward, never backward. There is always movement and change. If you were to reject service to Me, your life would still change. Change comes in life whether you are serving Heaven or not serving Heaven. You may wonder why I am telling you these things. I am helping you to resist the temptation to attach your commitment to Me to suffering. If you are suffering, it is because suffering is part of My plan for you. Each life will include suffering. Beloved apostles, you are trying so hard to serve Heaven. Please believe that Heaven is serving you, too. You are protected and loved. You need only remain on the course I have laid out for you and all will be well.”

SPECIAL COMMENTARY:
Prayers For Protecting Your Home And Your Family From Nuclear Attack

By a soul
(Feast of the Eve of the Purification, February 1, 2018)

In two recent messages at Holy Love Ministries (http://www.holylove.org), God Our Father said these words:

January 18, 2018

“I always have the perfect plan even in certain failure.”

January 29, 2018

“I am the loving Father of all people and all nations. I cannot change the choices people make. I can change the consequences and circumstances that are the result of free-will choices.”

***

I have been reflecting a lot on these words, as I have written much lately about the possible realities for mankind’s future and Our Father has been speaking a lot lately about how to prepare our hearts for the future, for whatever may happen.

In September 2017, I wrote a special commentary called, “Prayers for Creating A Refuge and Self-Protection” (https://maryrefugeofholylove.com/2017/09/26/special-commentary-prayers-for-creating-a-refuge-and-self-protection-by-a-soul/), which I suggest that everyone read. This special commentary is a continuation of the thoughts of that commentary, which I hope will also be helpful for many people. In particular, I am doing this writing to help people protect their homes, property, and families, from nuclear attack. Because only God knows the future, but there are things that we can do to help ourselves to prepare for whatever might come.

The fact is, Our Father has said that while He cannot change the free-will choices that people make, He can mitigate and change the resulting consequences, circumstances, and effects of those choices. While reflecting upon these words, I recalled a posting that I did in December 2016 (See: Part Three – The Only Solution More Powerful Than A Nuclear Weapon – Our Lady of Fatima, https://maryrefugeofholylove.com/2016/12/05/part-three-the-only-solution-more-powerful-than-a-nuclear-weapon-our-lady-of-fatima/), which was about a group of German monks who were devoted to Our Lady of Fatima and miraculously survived being at the hypocenter of the nuclear bomb dropped at Hiroshima, Japan, during World War II. Both their monastery and themselves were miraculously preserved by Our Lady. The monks suffered no ill-effects from the resulting radiation and all of them lived long, healthy lives. This miracle is well-recorded in history with the monks undergoing many medical and scientific tests over the years by the Japanese, German, and American governments, etc. In my post, I include two short videos with the monks speaking about the miracle.

On that day of August 6, 1945, Our Father could not change the free-will choice of Our President and the American government to drop the nuclear bomb on Hiroshima. But, what Our Father could do was mitigate the circumstances and effects for those who believed and trusted in Him. And that is what Our Heavenly Father did for His children, the monks who survived. It did not matter that they were “German”—the enemies of the Axis government of Adolf Hitler, who was slaughtering His children, the Jews. In that moment, Our Father saw the monks as His children, too, and I believe, because they were Christians, that these special men of God were doing their best to spread the message of love for God, despite the terrible times and government they were under. Only God can truly judge men’s hearts, but I mention this fact, because in a nuclear war, no one wins—no one can claim that they are truly the “good ones” with a “righteous” reason for dropping a nuclear bomb. Sometimes, our leaders can choose to do things that are not good, but thankfully, we are not judged by what our leaders do or think, but individually, as who are in our hearts—good or bad—before God.

And so, I write this, saying that it does not matter which side we are on if a nuclear war happens. I hope that my words help people to survive and keep hope and trust in God. God loves ALL His children, no matter what. As the song goes, “they will know we are Christians by our love.”

And so, in my September commentary, I wrote of three ways to protect our homes, particularly, if we are interested in having our properties become a refuge during the Great Tribulation. They are: 1) keep a blessed Seal of The Living God displayed in our homes (Book of Truth – Maria Divine Mercy); 2) have our properties blessed by a priest using the refuge protection prayers given to Prophet John Leary (http://www.johnleary.com); and 3) to pray and place four canisters of blessed objects on the four corners of our property (according to instructions given to visionary, Anna Maria of the Apostolate of the Green Scapular, http://www.greenscapular.org).

Now, let’s be honest here. For most of us, it is going to be hard to have a Seal of the Living God blessed by a priest, because most priests do not believe in the Book of Truth and they have misgivings about 7th messenger, Maria Divine Mercy. Also, it is going to be even harder to find a priest to bless our homes according to the prayers given to Prophet John Leary, because most priests do not believe we are living in the End Times and have no interest in helping to create a refuge. Also, for many of us, maybe we do not want our homes to be a refuge for the entire time of the Great Tribulation—it is certainly a lot of work and not everyone has the abilities to lead such an endeavor, etc. However, I do recognize that many of us want to protect our homes and families until the time we are called to the refuges. And certainly, if a nuclear attack happens, we want our homes and families to be protected. So, in this special commentary, I am going to share with you additional things that you can do to prepare for whatever may happen in the future. These are things that you can do even if you do not have a priest that believes in the Book of Truth (Maria Divine Mercy) or in refuges, etc.

Firstly, recognize that even though you may not be able to get a Seal of The Living God blessed by a priest, God will still honor the blessings if you display it in your home. The Seal of The Living God protects both property, body, and soul. Unlike the Brown Scapular of Our Lady of Mount Carmel which only protects the soul, keeping the Seal of The Living God on your body—physical person—will protect you from all physical harm during the Great Tribulation. So, I highly recommend that you keep the prayer on your physical body, either on a business card in your wallet, or you can purchase a Scapular of the Seal of The Living God to wear from Christogifts (https://www.christogifts.com/en/). These items should be easier to get blessed after The Great Warning. I also suggest that people who have the resources to create business cards with the prayer of the Seal of The Living God on them. That way, you have many cards to give your family, friends, neighbors, church, etc. You could be the source of blessings for many people.

Secondly, for those who have the resources, I suggest that you create the four canisters of blessed objects that I write about in my September commentary and place them on your property. It will be easier for you to have these objects blessed, because the items are not controversial (for example, they consist of a St. Michael medal, Miraculous Medal, etc.). Please note, one of the things that should be in the canisters are pieces of blessed palm leaves from Palm Sunday. So, if you need this item, please remember to save your palm leaves this coming Lent. Also, for a small donation, the prepared canisters are available through the bookstore of the Apostolate of the Green Scapular (https://greenscapular.org/web_folder/Bookstore.html).

Next, I want to mention at this point, that there is no limit to the number of blessings that can be given a home, property, or person. Except in the rare instance that a person should only receive the Most Holy Eucharist once a day (and even that is not an absolute rule, as you can receive the Holy Eucharist at Saturday morning Mass then at Sunday vigil Mass later that day, or in danger of death), a person can be blessed multiple, countless times. I remember reading of one holy Saint who would receive “spiritual Communion” a hundred times a day as part of her prayer to the Lord. Just thinking about this Saint’s devotion amazes me, because she considered her daily reception of the Most Holy Eucharist to be her “gold” and the “spiritual Communions” to be her “silver” coins in Heaven. And I truly believe this Saint must have the hugest pile of treasure in Heaven—I cannot even imagine it!

Recently, I wrote in my commentary, “Yes, the Holiness (Faith) of a Priest Counts” (See: https://maryrefugeofholylove.com/2018/01/12/commentary-yes-the-holiness-faith-of-a-priest-counts-by-a-soul/), that any priest that limits blessings on items is doing a disservice to his flock. The fact is to limit blessings on an object or person is to limit the generosity of God! I have holy oil that has over 55 priestly blessings. It has been blessed by popes, it has been blessed by exorcists, etc. Did any of those popes or exorcists or holy priests say, oh, no, I cannot bless this holy oil, it has already been blessed? No! And so, today, I am blessed to have this holy oil that I am afraid to use, because it is so holy—I am partially joking, but I know some people can relate—perhaps, they have a relic or a blessed item that is so precious to them, they keep it hidden in a special place, afraid to use it—it is so holy! (Yes, that is me, a soul!).

And so, if you can do all my suggestions—wonderful! And if you can only do one—wonderful! Whatever you do, be happy to be blessed by God!

Now, besides my three earlier suggestions in my September commentary, here are my two additional suggestions to especially protect yourself, your family, and your home from a nuclear attack (or even natural disaster). You may find these suggestions easier to do given your circumstances and resources, etc.

Firstly, I recently found out about a little-known promise from Our Lord Jesus Christ to St. Faustina about the Divine Mercy Image (1930s). The promise is not found in St. Faustina’s Diary or her public letters, but it is believed to be recorded in other writings from her that were given to her confessor and used as part of her cause for canonization. The little-known promise was revealed by her confessor in a booklet. The promise is this:

JESUS said: “I will save those cities and houses in which this Image will be found.”

JESUS also said: “I will likewise protect the persons who will honor and trust in My Mercy.”

(See article source: Mailbag: How I invoked Divine Mercy During Hawaii Scare, http://spiritdaily.org/blog/news/mailbag-how-i-invoked-divine-mercy-during-hawaii-scare).

Now, for those who may not have access to an Image of the Divine Mercy, if you download a copy of this special commentary, I am including two pictures of the original Divine Mercy Image approved by St. Faustina. So, you can print them out and place them in your home. These Images should be easier to get blessed by a priest—if you can—as this is an approved universal devotion in the Catholic Church (established by Pope John Paul II). If you would like to learn more about the Divine Mercy Devotion, here is an informative website: http://divinemercyforamerica.org/action-plan/utilize-the-promises/

And my second suggestion is to do the “Family Consecration To The United Hearts.” Basically, it is a short prayer ceremony in which you gather your family together, read a few short scripture passages and say a family consecration prayer to God and Our Lady. Then, you display Images of the United Hearts and Mary, Refuge of Holy Love, in your home (the images do not need to be blessed). This Family Consecration will act the same as the Lamb’s Blood did for the Israelites protecting them from the Ten Plagues in ancient Egypt. The Family Consecration will protect families and homes from evil.

More information can be found on this blog page. Also, if you download the Consecration Prayers, it includes the Images of the United Hearts and Mary, Refuge of Holy Love, for those who need a copy to print out.

For The Church, All Nations, All Families, All Individuals – Consecration Of The Heart Of The World To The United Hearts Of The Most Holy Trinity In Union With The Immaculate Heart Of Mary

Now, if you decide to do both the Divine Mercy Image and the Family Consecration to the United Hearts in order to protect your family and your home, I think that a wonderful way to approach it, is to first do the 9-Day Divine Mercy Novena in preparation for the Consecration ceremony. Then, as part of the Family Consecration, to also recite the Divine Mercy Chaplet together, and to display the three Holy Images together in your home.

For those who also want to do the blessed canisters, remember that you will need the blessed palm leaves from Palm Sunday as part of the items. I think that it would be wonderful if many people this Easter season, made this part of a special celebration for Divine Mercy Sunday. God and Our Lady would be truly honored by such acts of devotion. So many blessings!

Here is information on the Divine Mercy Novena and Divine Mercy Chaplet:

In conclusion, I pray as always that many people are blessed by my words and that I am helpful. God bless each of you, your families, and your loved ones.

In Christ’s Love,
a soul

God the Father – “Satan’s way of unsettling you is to destroy your hope in the future – Hope is trust in My Will”

Once again, I (Maureen) see a Great Flame that I have come to know as the Heart of God the Father. He says:

“I am the Creator – Father of all Ages. I tell you, the key to mankind’s peace is trust in Me and My Dominion over him. The more perfect the trust – the more perfect the peace in man’s heart.”

“Satan’s way of unsettling you is to destroy your hope in the future. Hope is trust in My Will. Man cannot understand or accept My Will outside of hope. Therefore, understand that discouragement is the handiwork of Satan. Never surrender to it!”

“Trust in My Dominion over you in every present moment.”

Read 1 John 3:3

And every one who thus hopes in him purifies himself as he is pure.

9-Day Novena – A Special Blessing from the Most Holy Trinity To Break Generational Curses

Holy Family Refuge Messages

January 22, 2018

A special blessing from God the Father through His Most Holy Trinity

I give this special blessing to all who wish to pray it. It is a special blessing spiritually and physically for the serious times you are now in. It passes through Me, God the Father, for the love I have for My Son and My children through the love of the Holy Spirit, then through St. Joachim and St. Anne, the parents of Mary, then through St. Joseph and the Blessed Mother.

This special blessing is for generational graces and healings for your family. If you don’t have much time to pray you will need to pray a 9-day novena by saying the Our Father 3 times for the Trinity, the Hail Mary 3 times for the Blessed Mother, and the Glory Be 3 times in honor of the Most Holy Trinity. If you have more time to pray, you can say a Rosary each day for 9 days or the Chaplet of Divine Mercy each day for 9 days.

These prayers go through your grandfather and grandmother, your father and mother, for their children and grandchildren and great grandchildren. This blessing is to break curses from the past four generations. Love, Father.

Once again, I (Maureen) see a Great Flame that I have come to know as the Heart of God the Father. He says:

“I am the Father of time and space. I come, once again, transported out of necessity and love. It is the compromise of Truth and the abuse of authority which are drawing the world into self-destruction. The future is always affected by the present. The present is molded according to what is in hearts. Therefore, I come to change hearts from selfish love to Holy Love.”

“To love Me above all else is primary to your well-being. This is the Commandment which supports devotion to all the others. The Commandments hold the heart in righteousness and away from error and sin. If you love Me, you will seek always to please Me. This is the path which leads away from confusion, controversy and self-righteousness. This is the love which exposes evil and guile.”

“Turn to me in the light of Truth – the Truth which convicts hearts and changes agendas, the Truth which unites.”

Read Colossians 3:12-14+

Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassion, kindness, lowliness, meekness, and patience, forbearing one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony.

Once again, I (Maureen) see a Great Flame that I have come to know as the Heart of God the Father. He says:

“I am the loving Father of all people and all nations. I cannot change the choices people make. I can change the consequences and circumstances that are the result of free-will choices. Much of the future is the bad or good fruit of what is in hearts. If people really understood this, they would ask their angels to protect their hearts more often.”

“What you accept in your heart as Truth affects the world around you – the way you relate to others, the issues you support or do not support, every thought, word and deed. Therefore, accept the Truth that evil is very much a part of the world. Pray daily to recognize evil and how it is influencing your moment-to-moment decisions. Then, pray to recognize how evil is influencing others around you. Evil takes you away from Holy Love and affects how you treat others.”

“Pray that your goals are always My goals.”

Read Colossians 2:8-10+

See to it that no one makes a prey of you by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the universe, and not according to Christ. For in Him the whole fulness of deity dwells bodily, and you have come to fulness of life in Him, who is the Head of all Rule and Authority.

Once again, I (Maureen) see a Great Flame that I have come to know as the Heart of God the Father. He says:

“I am Lord of the Universe – Creator of this and every present moment. I choose these times and this format to draw the heart of the world back into the state of reality. Each soul has the responsibility of choosing good over evil. Not to do so results in sin. This neglect of discernment has drawn the heart of the world off the path that leads to My Heart – the Path of Righteousness.”

“If you only look at a couple of ways this is most evident, consider politics and entertainment. Confusion rules the political scene. Loose morals have taken over most forms of entertainment. All of this is supported by mass media. Do not wonder then, that My Words to you are challenged. Keep your focus on My Commandments which safeguard the righteousness in your heart. Seek My Intercession against every attack.”

Read 2 Peter 2:21-22+

For it would have been better for them never to have known the way of righteousness than after knowing it to turn back from the holy commandment delivered to them. It has happened to them according to the true proverb, the dog turns back to his own vomit, and the sow is washed only to wallow in the mire.

Prophet John Leary – Messages from Our Lord Jesus Christ – January 23, 2018 Update

Prophet John Leary

Tuesday, January 23, 2018

Jesus said: “My people, I am calling all the people to repent, and be baptized into the faith. As you see a person being baptized by immersion in the water, this is one way to cleanse your soul of sin. In the Catholic Church you can also come to a priest, and be absolved of your sins in Confession. It is important for My faithful to reach out and share your faith with others. You can encourage non-believers to be converted with Baptism, and you can convert fallen away Catholics to return to Mass and Confession. There are some Catholics, who are coming to Sunday Mass, but they have become spiritually lazy. You need to encourage these souls to come to at least monthly Confession. You are all sinners, and you need to repent of your sins, and seek My forgiveness in Confession. By keeping your soul cleansed of sin, you will be ready for your judgment whenever I call you home in death. So have your soul prepared in grace, because you do not know the hour of your death.”

(Anniversary of Row vs. Wade)

Jesus said: “My people, you went to the March for Life on Friday, but today is the actual Anniversary of your Supreme Court’s decision to legalize abortion. This is an evil, corrupt decision, but it is still a mortal sin according to My Fifth Commandment. Every life in the womb is sacred and precious, and babies should not be killed. I was talking about demons, and the evil people who are behind the death culture. These evil ones are behind allowing abortion, euthanasia, wars, viruses, and other means of killing. I will forgive your sins if you repent and seek My forgiveness. Those souls, who do not repent of their sins, are on a path to hell, and it is those sinners who are sinning against the Holy Spirit. In the vision of a water well in your backyard, I want you to continue working on this project, so your people will have sufficient water for your refuge. You need water to survive, and I will multiply your water, food, fuels, and dwellings for your needs. Trust in Me to protect you, and you should show your love for Me and your neighbor by obeying My Commandments.”

Jesus said: “My people, I am using the example of how a small boy could bring down a proud and powerful warrior, like the giant Goliath. Even though strength and size was on Goliath’s side, David had My strength and courage to take down such a giant. America has been given many gifts, and you have many high buildings, but you also are proud and not obeying My Commandments. I will allow earthquakes to bring down your buildings, and you will see how I will bring My punishment upon you for killing My babies. I keep warning you to stop your abortions, and repent of your sins. Unless you change your laws and decisions, you will find only more destruction. Pray to stop abortions, and your corrupt laws and court decisions.”

Sunday, January 21, 2018

Jesus said: “My people, In the first reading you are seeing the prophet Jonah being called to tell Nineveh that they would be destroyed in forty days. Jonah at first tried to run away, but he was sent back. When the people of Nineveh repented and corrected their lives, I held back My wrath, and I did not destroy them. In the Gospel I called My apostles from various professions, such as fishermen, to be fishers of men. Today, I am calling all baptized Christians to be evangelists in saving souls. In every age I am also calling prophets to warn the people when they need to repent and change their ways. My son, I have called you to prepare the people for the coming Warning and the tribulation. If America does not change, then your people will face more natural disasters, and a takeover of your country. You have also been called to set up a refuge at your house, and you have completed most of your projects. Other faithful are also setting up refuges, so My people will be protected from the Antichrist during the tribulation. My people need to be thankful that they are being asked to carry out My missions. It is an honor to help save souls, and to protect people at My refuges.”

Saturday, January 20, 2018

Jesus said: “My people, in the Gospel My relatives thought I was out of My mind for all the things about love that I preached in My sermons. Most of all they could not believe that I was the Messiah, the Son of God. Even in today’s world, My faithful are also criticized for being out of your minds to believe abortion should not be allowed. In your society, abortion is accepted by your Supreme Court decision, but it is still a mortal sin to violate My Fifth Commandment of ‘Thou shalt not kill anyone.’ You have other corrupt laws on euthanasia and allowing pornography on the internet, and marijuana use in some states. Be thankful that you are not ‘of’ this evil world’s thinking, even though you live ‘in’ this world. Remember how I told you that if they persecuted Me for My beliefs, then they will persecute you as well. So stand up against your establishment and fight for the right to life for the unborn. Your marching in the March for Life is your testimony against your abortion laws and decisions. Keep faithful to My Commandments, and you will have your reward in heaven.”

Friday, January 19, 2018

Jesus said: “My people, you have seen newborn babies, and now I am showing you the horror of many aborted babies. You have seen pictures of all the gassed Jews and others, as their dead bodies were buried in mass graves. You thought you would never see another holocaust, but now you are seeing babies being aborted by the millions every year. You are killing the youth of tomorrow who were supposed to support you in your old age. Killing innocent children is about as gruesome as your people can get. Your mothers are killing their own children for a few conveniences. Your people should be ashamed of killing their babies, let along pass laws or decisions to legalize such killings. I tell you, killing babies is still a mortal sin, and those mothers and doctors, who abort children, will pay a dear price at their judgment. Life is too precious to kill, even in abortion. America is suffering with natural disasters because of its abortions and sexual sins. If you do not repent and change, I will allow others to take you over. How long do you think I will allow this irresponsible killing to continue? America’s day of reckoning is coming, because I told you if you did not stop your abortions, I will stop them with My justice. Pray to stop abortion and euthanasia, so life can be protected at all ages.”

Thursday, January 18, 2018

Jesus said: “My people, I want you to be loving Me and your neighbor as yourself. In the first reading you saw King Saul was fearful of David because the people sang of Saul killing thousands, while David was killing ten thousands. Saul became jealous of David, and Saul did not want to lose his position as king. Then Saul wanted to kill David, but Jonathan, Saul’s son, stood up for David saying how David should not be killed, since he was a faithful servant. You can see how anger and jealousy can lead to a worse sin of carrying out threats against your neighbor. Be loving of everyone, and do not harbor ill feelings against your neighbor. Be content with your lot, and do not desire more than you need to survive. I bless all of you in many ways, so some people may have more gifts than yourself. Some also have less gifts than you, so share your wealth and faith with others. I love all of you so much, and I want you to imitate My love for others.”

Jesus said: “My people, when you think of time on a clock, several things come to mind. You use set times to eat your meals. You need clocks to meet your appointments. You have approximate times to wake up and go to sleep. You are given a set number of years to live your life, and when you die, then time is no longer meaningful to you. When I bring My Warning, I will stop time, and you will come out of your body. You measure time by the twenty-four hours of the day, and the year is one revolution around the sun. Time is a gift for everyone, and at your judgment you will have to account for how you spent your time for good or bad. So make the best use of your time, because you will only have one chance for each day to help accomplish your mission.”

Jesus said: “My people, many of you face what appears to be impossible tasks to accomplish, but remember that with My help and your prayer, I can help you to do what you thought was impossible. These situations require an extra amount of faith to attempt, and it cannot be someone who doubts that I can do the impossible. Some people are frozen in their actions, because they do not have confidence in themselves or Me. Life is full of difficult trials, so call on My help and go forward in faith. You were given intelligence, so use your common sense to troubleshoot your problems. You may have to have people help you, as with cars and homes, so pay someone to help you. In some cases you may have to work around a problem in a different way than normal. Keep working hard with your physical problems, and have faith with any spiritual difficulties as well. If I am with you, who can be against you?”

Jesus said: “My son, you are preparing for another trip to Washington, D.C. so you can march in your protest against your Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion. It is this decision and all the babies, who have been aborted, that is bringing My wrath down on America. You are seeing fires, mud slides, and major snow storms that look like hurricanes. Other areas are suffering from floods and cold weather. Your people need to realize that all of these events are punishments for your sins, especially abortion, and your sexual sins. If you do not repent of your sins, and change your laws against Me, then your punishments will become more severe, and more frequent. I am pleased that many of My faithful are standing up in protest against your abortions and abortion laws. Join with your bishop to continue your March for Life protests. Help with your pictures and movies of the Mass and your march. I will send My angels before you to calm the weather for your march. All of heaven is supporting your protests, as you try to protect the lives of My little ones. It is the evil ones, who support and carry out abortions. They will suffer dearly at their judgments. Keep praying your intentions to stop abortion.”

Jesus said: “My people, the Pharisees knew the letter of the law, but they also interpreted what constituted work on the Sabbath. To the Pharisees it was work to take heads of grain to eat on the Sabbath. So I told them the account of how King David fed the Temple grain to his men because they were hungry. The Pharisees missed the spirit of the law which should give Me glory. I told them that the Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath. (Mark 3:27,28) Even today, you are finding some religious leaders that are interpreting My Gospel in whatever way they wish. There is a coming division in My Church when a schismatic church will be teaching heresies and New Age as doctrine. When you hear heretical teachings that are not found in the Catechism of the Catholic Church, then you need to proclaim these heresies as false teachings to be avoided. If they do not stop spreading heresies, then move on to a faithful church. Eventually, My faithful remnant will need to come to My refuges to be safe from the evil ones who will try to kill you.”

Jesus said: “My people, you are seeing another devious attack against America by trying to push legalization of marijuana into many states. They first get their foot in the door by saying medical marijuana is needed. This is a ploy, because marijuana destroys brain cells, and it is also being pushed to gain tax money for the states. The next step is to have what is called recreational marijuana where it is legalized in a state. This will allow more exposure and access for children, and it could cause states of mind to impair driving. This legalization of marijuana could also lead people into harder drugs as heroin and the opioids that are killing more people. Increasing drug use in America is another step to bringing America down, and destroying your society. Your people need to fight against legalizing marijuana, to save your people from literally losing their minds. Pray to stop this drug war against your people.”

Monday, January 15, 2018

Jesus said: “My people, the Pharisees were constantly criticizing Me or My apostles for not following the Mosaic laws to the letter. This time they criticized My apostles for not fasting. Other times they criticized My apostles for taking the heads of grain from the wheat on the Sabbath, and for all the cures I performed on the Sabbath. These leaders may know the laws, but I told the people not to follow their actions, because they were hypocrites. They did not practice what they preached, and they were more focused on money, and the threat against their authority. I told the Pharisees that My apostles will fast when I leave them. Fasting is a good practice for helping your spiritual life, as during Lent. My apostles had a problem with a strong demon, and they could not remove it. When people are possessed with a strong demon, or multiple demons, this kind requires fasting and prayer. In the same way when you are dealing with people’s addictions and demons, you need to pray and fast constantly to help save their souls. Trust in Me that I will answer your sincere prayer requests.”

Jesus said: “My people, I know some of My faithful have a good heart, and they reach out to help people who are having problems with their houses. When people do not pay their house taxes, or they cannot afford to pay them, they are risking the loss of their houses when the bank evicts them. These are difficult situations to try and relocate people to another dwelling. Even if people make bad decisions, they need your prayers and help to deal with their problems. You do the best you can, but do not ridicule people, even if they cannot make good decisions. I will find a way to take care of them, so they can survive in this world. Anything you can do for people, is appreciated, even if they do not thank you. I see the good intentions in your heart, and you will receive My graces for your efforts. Pray for all the people who are finding it hard to earn a living, and keep a roof over their heads. Trust in Me to help everyone, despite any flaws in their thinking and actions.”

Saturday, January 13, 2018

Jesus said: “My people, in the Gospel I said that I came to save sinners and not the self-righteous. All of you are sinners and you need salvation from Me to be saved. The requirements for heaven are that you seek the forgiveness of your sins, and you are to love Me and your neighbor as yourself. I love all of you equally, so do not think you are better than someone else. Even if you have the faith, do not look down on others who are at different stages of progress in their faith. Those people, who do not know Me, need you to share My Word with them. Do not force them to love Me, because I do not violate anyone’s free will. You need to keep praying for those people in your family, who do not know Me, or do not come to church on Sunday. Reach out to save as many souls from hell as you can. Many souls are blinded by the desires of the world and the devil’s temptations. Pray for the healing of people’s addictions that keep them from coming to Me. In the end there are only two choices between heaven and hell, so choose the path of life to heaven, instead of death to the soul in hell.”

Friday, January 12, 2018

Jesus said: “My people, in the first reading the Israelites were calling on Samuel to give them a king, so they would have a leader to fight their battles, as other nations had kings. Then Samuel told them what it would cost to have a king, which amounted to a dictator. There is a lesson here for everyone because you need to be careful what you pray for and desire. Some people desire to be wealthy, so they work hard to accumulate money, and they make risky investments to make more money than they need. Once you have wealth, you are still not happy because money and things do not last, and they do not love you. It is only Me who you should trust in, because I will see to your needs, and I will give you peace and love which will satisfy your soul. You only need enough money to survive, and beyond that, such greed could harm your soul with evil desires. You cannot take money beyond the grave, and it will not get you into heaven. So strive to please Me in obeying My Commandments, and seek My forgiveness of your sins. Then you will have spiritual wealth that lasts, instead of physical wealth that will disappear.”

Jesus said: “My people, My Blessed Mother gave these words to the servants: ‘Do whatever He tells you.’ This was when I called the servants to fill six large jars with water and take some to the head waiter. The head waiter remarked that the water made into wine was better than the first wine. This was the first of My miracles at the Wedding Feast at Cana. The words of My Blessed Mother could be applied to everyone. I am your Lord and Master, and I desire to save all souls, but some souls refuse to follow My ways, which are better than man’s ways. It is because of man’s pride that people refuse to follow My Commandments, and do not want to give up their will over to My Will. Even My heavenly Father told My apostles on Mt. Tabor to listen to Me. Those faithful, who follow My directions, are greatly rewarded for their efforts. When I call on people to help save souls, this is the most rewarding work you could accomplish. Those souls, who are saved through your work, are grateful for being saved from hell. I desire that all of My faithful would reach out to convert as many souls as they can. This is the most important work you could do for Me on earth.”

Thursday, January 11, 2018

Jesus said: “My people, you are seeing a contrast in faith between the two readings. In the first reading the Israelites were battling the Philistines, but their faith in Me was weak, that I could help them. The people did not pray or openly request My help in their battle. The Ark of the Covenant, that contained the Ten Commandment tablets, did not help them in battle either, because of their lack of faith. This is why they lost their battle that day. The second reading of the Gospel shows you a leper who had a difficult life living as an outcast from the society of the time. When he saw Me, he had a strong faith that I could heal his leprosy. He came forward in faith to ask Me to heal him. When I saw this faith in his heart, I so willed to heal his leprosy. There is a lesson in faith here for all of My people. You know that I can do the impossible, but in order to help people, they must obey My Commandments, and have faith that I can answer their requests. When your prayers are answered in My time, you need to remember another account of the ten lepers that were healed. Only one leper returned to give Me thanks. So giving prayers of thanks is another way of honoring your faith in My healing power. You need to thank Me and those people who help you as well. Trust in Me to answer your prayers in the best way possible for your soul and the souls of others.”

Jesus said: “My people, you have seen the pictures and movies on your TV news of all the damage, and the search for missing people in the mud slides in California. Pray for the people who lost loved ones and their homes from the mud slides on the hills of the burned brush and trees. This was a sudden rush of mud and debris that killed people in their sleep. Pray for their souls as well.”

Jesus said: “My people, your warmer temperatures are melting your snow, and your sump pump has been pumping out a lot of water. Soon you will see cold again with freezing rain, and some heavy snowfalls in some places. It is the extremes of hot and cold that is making it difficult for the drilling people to make your water well. It has been either too cold or too muddy for your people to work. Pray for better weather while you are home, so your well can be dug.”

Jesus said: “My people, you are seeing more of your brick and mortar stores that are closing because of competing businesses and your internet purchases. All stores have online services, but some stores are closing because they are not getting enough customers to make a profit. With employee wages rising, there is more pressure to be able to keep stores open. Pray for your businesses to survive these trials.”

Jesus said: “My people, you are seeing more people sick with the flu, and even people who had the flu shots. On your news you are seeing that the flu shots are only about 30% effective against the latest flu strains. Pray for the sick to find care and medications to help them. Another complaint is about the higher heating bills because of your cold harsh winter, which is about to resume after a few warm days. Some people who put straw around their houses, are seeing slightly lower bills. Pray for people to survive the cold, and that they can get help to pay these bills.”

Jesus said: “My people, your older monstrance needed cleaning and touching up, because now it sparkles with radiance, especially with My consecrated Host inside. I appreciate the efforts of your prayer group to come and adore Me in My Real Presence. I gave your small group a special blessing last week for braving the cold and snow. So this week I want to bless all of you for coming to adore Me, so none of you are left out from My blessings.”

Jesus said: “My people, during this harsh, cold winter, you could see some possible power outages. This is another reason to have some alternate heating sources if your natural gas heater stops working. You also should stock up on some extra food and batteries for your lanterns. Have your windup flashlights ready at night as well. When you did your practice refuge run, you could see how useful your cooking devices and lanterns were in feeding people and seeing at night. If you are snowed in, you could survive if you cannot make it to the stores. Pray for your people so they can make it through this winter. Pray for the homeless and poor people who have little money for food and heating.”

Jesus said: “My people, there are some of your friends who need help moving to another house, and some people who have difficulty getting out to the stores for food. When you see such needs, and you can help, you should reach out to help where you can. There is another need, and that is to work on stopping abortions through your prayers and protesting. I thank all of My faithful who are able to come to Washington, D.C. to protest the decision of your Supreme Court to make abortions legal. Despite this decision, abortion is still a mortal sin that kills a baby. This sin is bringing My wrath against your country. When you save babies from abortion with your sidewalk counseling at the abortion clinics, you are doing a great service to My little ones. Your mothers should be ashamed of wanting to kill their babies. Keep praying to stop abortion, and continue your protest against your sinful laws and decisions in court.”

Wednesday, January 10, 2018

Jesus said: “My people, once Eli understood that I was calling Samuel after the third calling, he told young Samuel to say: ‘Speak Lord, for your servant is listening.’ This beautiful greeting is how all of My faithful should be listening to Me in their hearts. In Baptism each of My faithful are all blessed as priest, prophet, and king. All baptized faithful are called to listen to My words, so they can spread the faith and convert sinners. You need to come to Me in quiet contemplation so you can listen to My call. Each of you have a special mission that only you can accomplish. You need to say ‘yes’ to My Will so you can carry out your mission. Some of you are special prophets that listen to My Word, and they spread My Word publicly. If you are being asked to preach or start a refuge, be open to accept My mission because this is how you will be rewarded in heaven for doing My Will. Some people refuse to take on this responsibility, so they are refusing My graces. A few brave souls say ‘yes’ to Me, and I will give them the grace and help to go forward with their mission. Pray for all sinners, but pray for the protection of My prophets, who suffer persecution and criticism.”

Jesus said: “My people, you have not seen many earthquakes in the 7.6 strength in the ocean north of Honduras. This caused a small tsunami, and it was an underwater earthquake. The location is not close to the Ring of Fire, and it was about six miles deep. You see many substantial (4.0 or higher) earthquakes along the western side of South America, but very few along the western coast of North America. This is a sign that an earthquake of good size is due along the California area. I told you that you would be seeing more natural disasters as earthquakes, which are another sign of the end times. Just as you saw this 7.6 earthquake, you will be seeing more severe earthquakes, as the severe ones are occurring more frequently. Pray for the people who are affected by these disasters, so their souls can be saved.”

“I am here* – He Who created time and space. Your nation** and the world have adopted what is called a new morality. In reality, there is nothing new about these loose morals. Consider Sodom and Gomorrah. The only difference between what was deemed acceptable back then and now is back then, there was no mass media to help spread error.”

“Where sin is accepted by mass media, most do not take the time to realize what is being condoned. So, it is, I bring to the forefront My Commandments. My Commandments outline righteousness and define sin. The embrace of My Commandments is the embrace of Holy Love. Do not waste time in debating this. The change the heart of the world needs is given to you in My Commandments.”

“Do not allow your hearts to be compromised by those who do not accept the Truth. Be the influence of good over evil.”

“I am the Father of all Ages. Today, I point out to you that unforgiveness brings with it a darkness of the spirit. When the soul decides to forgive everyone, his heart is flooded with the light of the Truth. Then there is no space between his heart and Mine. I listen to his every petition – be it spoken or unspoken. I repair relationships in his life. I change circumstances to his advantage.”

“If the soul recalls any moment from the past that involved unforgiveness, he must forgive all over again. Holding a grudge is always from Satan and an acceptance of his darkness. There are many in Purgatory today who nurtured grudges during their lifetime. They were given the grace to forgive, but did not accept it. Imitate Divine Mercy which forgives over and over, often for the same wrongs.”

Read 2 Timothy 2:24-26+

And the Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome but kindly to every one, an apt teacher, forbearing, correcting his opponents with gentleness. God may perhaps grant that they will repent and come to know the Truth, and they may escape from the snare of the devil, after being captured by Him to do His Will.

“I am Father of all Ages. Turn to Me. I protect and guide. In order for a soul to forgive, he must cooperate with the graces given to forgive. This brings to light a basic tenet of Holy Love, that is to make allowances. With compassion look upon those you need to forgive and pray that their consciences convict them before My Son judges them. Search your own heart to rid yourself of any residual bitterness. Ask to be washed clean in Holy Love. This frees your spirit of any obstacle between your heart and My Own. Patiently pray for those in whom you see error. Do not slip into sanctimony.”

Read 1 Corinthians 13:4-7+

Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful; it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

“I am the Father of all Generations. I come to unite the heart of man with My Paternal Heart. The sin most insidious which obstructs the way is unforgiveness. The anatomy of unforgiveness is always based upon pride. So often the soul cannot accept that he was treated unfairly. Then too, he cannot accept the faults of others, even though his own faults may be much worse. This is a form of sanctimony. When you are shown the faults of others, it is not to be held against that person but to pray for him.”

“Another trap is unforgiveness of self which is guilt. This too is a pride, as the soul cannot accept his human sinfulness. Unforgiveness focuses on self. Forgiveness is an imitation of Divine Mercy.”

Read Ephesians 4:31-32+

Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, with all malice, and be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.

When your neighbor comes to you for help – offer to pray for him. Do not criticize him for complaining, you may be the only one he confides in. Some do not have a support system in the world. Be of one heart and one mind. Always compassionate towards one another’s needs and depth of suffering. Scripture is full of stories of how My Son was approached with the needs of others. Just listen. If the suffering is something I desire the soul offer up, then he or she will not be healed.”

So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any incentive of love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind.

By a soul
(Feast of the Martyrs of Ephesus, January 12, 2018)

Recently, I wrote a short commentary about the benefits of drinking holy water as a healing medicinal, and I realized that I made some statements that might be controversial to some people (see: https://maryrefugeofholylove.com/2018/01/10/commentary-drinking-holy-water-as-a-healing-medicinal/ ). And so, I want to address some things that I said, and then, speak about the larger issue of holiness, especially, of priests.

Now, firstly, many people believe that there is no difference between blessing oneself with holy water and actually drinking holy water. After all, the Holy Spirit is still acting upon the person, so they believe that the blessing is the same, whether it is internally or externally received, and that it depends on the faith of the recipient whether they will be helped or not. So, it is pointless to drink holy water.

Well, I speak directly from personal experience from actually drinking holy water as a medicinal as well as from my family using it as regular treatment for illness. There can be a huge difference between simply blessing oneself or blessing a wound with holy water and actually drinking the holy water coupled with prayer. I have seen immediate positive effects in both my family and my pets, as I revealed in my other commentary, from drinking the holy water.

Also, drinking holy water makes a huge difference if you are suffering from a demonic sickness or especially, demonic possession. I do not even know if exorcists know this or not, but if a priest is uncertain whether a person is possessed, using holy water or Lourdes water can be used as a simple test. Either the reaction will be immediate or may occur a few hours later, but the devil within the person WILL react to the ingested holy water. Trust me, I am speaking from very personal experience. And the more holy water ingested, the more violent the reaction in the person, so this test must be done with care.

satan does not want the drinking of holy water to become widespread in its use. Why? Well, in the Book of Truth (Maria Divine Mercy), Our Lord has said many times that many people are suffering from demonic possession and demonic sicknesses, even though, it may not look apparent to others, etc.

If people start drinking holy water or miraculous spring waters on a widespread basis, many instances of demonic possession would start getting properly diagnosed and people would start getting healed from physical and mental illnesses that are either demonic in origin or whose severity of symptoms have been “enhanced” by demonic powers. In my special commentary, “Exposing Satan’s Evil Agenda – Part One – The Antichrist,” I actually touched upon the fact that the fallen angels (devils) have the ability to manipulate living matter, which includes both imparting spiritual sicknesses on people, as well as making existing illnesses and physical ailments several times worse, etc. (See: https://maryrefugeofholylove.com/exposing-satans-evil-agenda-part-one-the-antichrist-by-a-soul/ )

satan does not want anyone to be healed!! his trademark is suffering!!

So, if a person–or even a priest–says there is no difference between blessing oneself and actually drinking holy water, I want people to recognize that the person probably stating that false fact likely has no experience in how drinking regularly holy water coupled with faith can improve someone’s situation. Again, as I stated in my prior commentary, I cannot promise a cure or complete healing from solely drinking holy water, but my family has greatly benefited from its regular use in all kinds of illnesses–physical, mental, and spiritual.

Now, I want to turn to the greater and more important reason for this commentary–the holiness of priests. In my previous commentary about using holy water as a medicinal, I said something very important that all people, especially, priests, need to understand. I said that the holier the priest, the more effective the blessing on the holy water.

Perhaps many people missed what I said on first blush, but that statement I made is pretty huge and yes, can be controversial to many people, especially, priests. Because many people, including–I will dare say, the majority of priests, believe that “a blessing is a blessing” and that their personal priestly holiness does not matter on the efficacy of a blessing.

I am sorry, but that mentality is wrong–very wrong. And it is because of that mentality why the priesthood is in trouble. The faith and holiness of a priest DOES COUNT. Not only do bad priests set a poor example to others–as everybody knows–bad priests also lose graces for their flock due to their poor behavior!!

Sometimes, I will approach a priest after Mass with items to be blessed and I will get a very “sloppy” blessing. By “sloppy” blessing, I mean something like where the priest will barely look at me or the items, say like four or five words, and wave their hand in the air in a nonchalant sign of the cross, etc. I notice that this tends to happen more with parish priests than other types of priests, because they become so preoccupied with trying to greet everyone, they forget their priestly duties come first!

Well, I have two responses to a “sloppy” blessing–one, for the recipient of the blessing, and two, for the priest who gives it.

One, for the recipient of a “sloppy” blessing, you deserve a proper blessing with the proper words said with care by a priest. If you can go to another priest, obtain another blessing. Most people do not know this fact, but items (and people) can be blessed multiple times–there is no limit to the generosity of God and His grace.

Many years ago, I was living in an apartment and I was suffering terribly from satan. And so, my family invited a Franciscan priest to come to my apartment to bless the dwelling. And this nice priest did everything required–praying with my family over each room, sprinkling holy water, etc., and so, the apartment got blessed. Then afterwards, I approached him and asked if he could bless my Holy Bible, and this nice priest said, “oh, no, it already got blessed,” and I was so disappointed, simply accepting the fact.

Years later, I know better. My dear recipient of the “sloppy” blessing, you deserve a properly worded blessing for your Holy Bible, your rosary, your miraculous medal, your crucifix, etc. Never accept a “sloppy” blessing and never accept that items can only be blessed “once” and no more. A priest that tells you that is limiting the generosity of the Infinite God!

And my second comment directed to priests who give “sloppy” blessings is this… You do have pockets in your clothing, no? Every priest should be carrying on themselves a small book of commonly-used priestly prayers! That small book should be in your hands ready for use after every Mass, if you do not have your prayers memorized! And imagine, if you had a small bottle of holy water in your pocket–what a difference that would make if you could anoint people, too!

Sadly, I think that there might be too many shallow pockets among our priests!

Now, why get the item re-blessed? Why not accept the “sloppy” blessing and move on? Well, as I stated earlier, the faith of a priest has direct bearing on the efficacy of their blessings and their prayers. The holier the priest, the more powerful their works. If the faith of a priest is weak, their blessings and prayers will be weaker in grace, and that is really a disservice for their flock.

If I am using holy water as a medicinal, the blessing should be as strong as it can be from the priest. Otherwise, the faith of the recipient of the holy water will need to be even more stronger to compensate where the blessing is lacking in power from the priest. That is not right. Grace should not be so hard to come by.

Many priests do not accept that their own personal holiness has any bearing on their service. And yet, I think that many priests would accept the premise that to be an exorcist, a priest needs to be holy and very faith-filled with much spiritual preparation beforehand any exorcism, etc.

Why (generally) do priests accept that holiness matters only when dealing directly with the devil? My dear father priests, personal holiness matters all the time!!

Holy Scripture, Acts, Chapter 5, Verse 15

“Thus they even carried the sick out into the streets and laid them on cots and mats so that when Peter came by, at least his shadow might fall on one or another of them.”

Acts 5:15 is often cited as a supporting verse for why the Catholic Church believes in the use of holy relics by the faithful for healing and blessing. However, did the famous stigmatic priest, St. Padre Pio’s relics suddenly become holy upon his death? No, it was because Padre Pio grew in holiness throughout his life so that things he touched and wore, and even his very self, were blessed in great healing grace. Likewise, in Acts 5:15, St. Peter was still alive and was so holy, that even his mere shadow would impart healing to the sick in its path.

Yet, the personal holiness of priests is not just important for blessings of healing, but for grace from any type of intercessory prayer!

Holy Mother Church recognizes the fact that those who are closest in friendship with God are most powerful as intercessors. This belief is why Mother Church holds so many Saints and Martyrs in high esteem after their deaths for the pious to call upon for aid. Yet, intercessory help begins on earth, as many faithful will seek out people who they feel are particularly holy for additional prayers. For example, many people sought the intercession of Padre Pio while he was alive. They witnessed the evidence of his close friendship with God, i.e., stigmata and other spiritual gifts, etc., and as his lifetime holiness grew, even more people sought him out daily for prayers, as well as for Confession and Holy Mass.

Priestly holiness is not just a calling for the Twelve Apostles, like St. Peter, or Padre Pio. All priests are called to a vocation of personal holiness, even more so than the laity, because their personal holiness has a direct effect on everything they do and every person they reach. Priests must strive to be powerful intercessors for their flock gaining as much grace as they can for their spiritual children.

In a message at Holy Love Ministries (http://www.holylove.org), Jesus once said that when we receive the Most Holy Eucharist, we should ask for the grace given His Blessed Mother at the Annunciation. That it is a special grace that will be given. As taught in seminaries, the same word used for the overshadowing of the Holy Spirit on the Blessed Mother at the Annunciation is used to describe the overshadowing of the Holy Spirit at the moment of Consecration of the Most Holy Eucharist by a priest. That is the moment when the priest stretches out his hands over the bread and wine and pronounces the sacred words. Thus, in a sense, they are essentially the same Act by God.

The moment of the Annunciation is one of the greatest moments of Our Blessed Mother demonstrating her great self-less love of God and neighbor–of the Commandment of Holy Love. Totally devoid of any care to self, the Blessed Mother completely loves God and us–all Her children. It is an act of total humility to become the Mother of God.

Thus, if the moment of the Annunciation and the Consecration of the Most Holy Eucharist can be seen as similar Acts by God, how important it is for a priest to be totally devoid of any semblance of self at that moment in the Holy Mass. In imitation of the Blessed Mother, a priest must be a total and complete vessel of absolute grace in self-less love–Holy Love of God and his spiritual children. Truly, the moment of the Consecration of the Most Holy Eucharist is when a priest becomes a father to all his spiritual children and recommits himself to this fatherhood in every celebration of Holy Mass.

Now, just imagine the horror it must be to God if a priest is not in a state of grace at the moment of the Consecration of the Most Holy Eucharist. It is as if the Blessed Mother, full of grace, was in mortal sin at the Annunciation! Instead of being a reflection of radiating absolute grace to his flock, a priest is repelling the encounter of the Holy Spirit, Who only comes because God has sacredly bound Himself to mankind in this Holy Act. Of course, I, a soul, am not educated in these theological matters, so I cannot say if this would constitute an act of sacrilege for a priest, etc. But, how it must displease the Holy Child Jesus in His coming to us on earth through such a vessel of disgrace.

Such an act of utter pride! “I am a priest therefore I command down the presence of God” versus “I am a priest therefore I tremble in fear and awe of this great servitude of God.” Pride!

In conclusion, I want people to know that although I have been somewhat critical of priests in this commentary, that I love very much our priests. Honestly, if I could kiss the hands of every priest who has ever brought me Jesus in the Most Holy Eucharist, I would do so with much gratitude. Some people might say that I have no right to be critical, because I do not know the challenges of modern-day priests, etc. Yes, I am not a priest (I am a lay female), but sometimes, it is necessary for someone on the outside to look in at a situation for a problem to be properly diagnosed and cured. And so, I offer this entire commentary in deep love and charity for our dear fathers. I want every priest to have a deeply satisfying and fulfilling relationship with Our Lord. A deeply holy faith that brings great graces for not only our priests but benefits us, all their spiritual children.

God bless!

Once again, I (Maureen) see a Great Flame that I have come to know as the Heart of God the Father. He says:

“I am the Eternal Now – Creator of time and space. I tell you, the best way to prepare for the future is to prepare your hearts now by surrendering to My Divine Will. My Will exists outside of time and space. There is no beginning nor end to My Will. It is always perfect. To reject My Will is to reject all the grace that comes with it.”

“So often you do not have the time to debate what My Will is. The best way to be united with My Will is to base your decisions upon Holy Love. Holy love is never wrong. When you live in Holy Love, you walk hand in hand with the Holy Mother, with My Son and with Me.”

“This is the path I give you around all violence, false religions and laws which support sin and sinful lifestyles. Never think that mankind can legislate his way past sin. My Laws are your legal precedence. To focus on Holy Love is to focus on My Commandments. For this reason alone, Holy Love is the subject of attack. Do not listen to critics. Listen to Me.”

Read 1 John 3:19-24, 4:6+

By this we shall know that we are of the Truth, and reassure our hearts before Him whenever our hearts condemn us; for God is greater than our hearts, and He knows everything. Beloved, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God; and we receive from Him whatever we ask, because we keep His Commandments and do what pleases Him. And this is His Commandment, that we should believe in the Name of His Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as He has commanded us. All who keep His Commandments abide in Him, and He in them. And by this we know that He abides in us, by the Spirit which He has given us.

We are of God. Whoever knows God listens to us, and he who is not of God does not listen to us. By this we know the Spirit of Truth and the spirit of error.

Commentary – Drinking Holy Water As A Healing Medicinal

I, a soul, want to write this short commentary because many people do not know about how great a sacramental holy water can be. Many people bless themselves often with holy water, but I do not think many people know that they can also drink holy water and it is not a sin.

I believe in using holy water as a medicinal. Whether you are suffering from a physical, mental, or a spiritual sickness, holy water can be a very effective treatment for your condition. Although you may not be fully healed from solely drinking holy water, I do know that it will alleviate symptoms from illness.

When my dad was dying from Parkinson’s Disease, we often gave him holy water to drink and he often said that it made him feel better. In the later stage, he suffered from dementia and we always noticed that drinking holy water would alleviate the severity of the dementia or would actually bring him back into a state of sanity for a short while. The holy water was powerful even when he was not consciously aware of it.

If I was suffering from a life-threatening disease, such as cancer, etc., I would use every means possible to fight it spiritually, such as frequent receptions of the Sacraments of the Anointing of the Sick and Confession, etc. This would include also drinking holy water everyday along with any medication and daily prayer.

Do not drink the holy water found in the font at your Catholic Church. Unfortunately, that holy water has been used by many people to bless themselves and so, it is likely, not sanitary (although, I do believe if someone has strong faith in God, they could drink poison and not die like St. Francis of Assisi, etc.). But here’s how you do this properly…

When my dad was still alive, every month, my mom and I would go to the benedictine abbey about an hour away from our house for Sunday Mass. We would load the van with several gallons of unopened drinking water from the store. Then, after Mass, one of the benedictine priests would bless all the gallons of water with the special exorcism prayer particular to the Order of St. Benedict (such as the prayer used for blessing St. Benedict Crucifixes). The prayer is not specific to just holy water, though, so we had the added bonus of the car getting a blessing, too, every time we did this.

However, if you do not have access to a benedictine priest, you can simply ask your parish priest if he will bless some holy water for you. At my parish, we used to have a particularly holy and kindly priest who would bless gallons of water for me whenever I asked. He would actually bless the water with the longer Latin prayer which includes an exorcism, which is much more effective than the more modern vernacular prayer typically used today to bless the holy water in the parish fonts. I would just drop the gallons of water off at the parish office on the weekend and then, would retrieve them the following Sunday, so my priest would have a week to do the blessing when he was not busy.

Now, there are a few things that you should know. Firstly, the St. Benedictine prayer is better to use than the Latin Rite prayer and the Latin Rite prayer is better then the modern vernacular prayer for holy water. But, whatever prayer is used, it is always better to have the holy water blessed by a priest than to bless it yourself or by another type of Christian minister. If the water is blessed by a priest (Catholic or Orthodox), it becomes a sacramental with special blessings and graces attached. So, strive to have your holy water blessed by a priest.

Secondly, faith is important in how effective the holy water is. Faith not just of the recipient (person drinking the water) but also faith of the priest who blessed the water. The holier the priest, the more effective the holy water can be in healing. Also, the faith of those who give the holy water to the recipient can also be important. Remember, my dad would suffer from dementia and he would be alleviated of his symptoms when he was not aware of his suffering, because the faith of my mom and I would act as a substitute for his. Just like for the Sacrament of Baptism, the parents’ faith will act on behalf of the infant so the child can receive the blessing from God.

Thirdly, it is alright to filter the holy water, to use it in teas, soups, and for cooking. However, do not use bleach or other harsh chemicals to filter the water, as I believe that will remove the blessing. Brita and other filters that use natural substances, like charcoal, should be alright to cleanse the water.

Fourthly, if you have a very sick animal, you can give them holy water and I do not believe it is a sin–although I would not do this as a normal daily thing. Normally, holy water is a sacramental for human beings, but, I also believe God looks at a person’s heart and their intentions. My family used to have a dog that suffered from epilepsy. And so, whenever he suffered from a seizure attack, we would bless him with holy water and sometimes, give him a little holy water to sip. Although we had no “hard evidence,” my family believes that the holy water helped our dog to have less seizure attacks and when they did happen, for them to be less severe. And I believe that God honored our faith in Him and our love for our dog when we did this.

Fifthly, besides holy water blessed by a priest, my family has found water from miraculous springs to also be very effective. In particular, I have found Lourdes water to be very powerful when battling the devil whether it is used for blessing or for drinking. Depending on faith, I actually believe that Lourdes water can be and is more powerful than holy water blessed by a priest. So, if you have Lourdes water, try to have it blessed by a priest, so you can have even more graces attached.

I do not know why Lourdes water, for me, is more powerful than regular holy water. The only reason I can think of, is because the Lourdes water is directly blessed by Our Blessed Mother and it requires a higher level of faith to believe in its healing properties. However, if you intend to drink Lourdes water, I suggest that you filter it, as typically, it comes directly from the grotto and has not been filtered to be drinking water. But, St. Bernadette drank directly from the grotto with no ill effects, so it is up to you.

However, I want to issue a caution here. If you suspect that you are suffering from a demonic sickness or might be suffering from demonic possession, you might have a reaction to drinking Lourdes water or holy water. This includes an immediate “jerking” reflex upon drinking it or even vomiting, etc. I believe that holy water can be an amazing sacramental when suffering from demonic attacks, but I issue this caution based on personal experience. The Lourdes or holy water will not make you sick, but the devil will reaction to its presence in your body, which causes great discomfort to him. So, if you suspect that you are battling satan, only drink a few sips of holy water as that is all you need(!). Any more than a few sips might cause a very severe adverse reaction from the devil (I say this truly from the bottom of my heart based on personal experience).

Also, although I talk about Lourdes water being very powerful, I believe that the same healing properties can be found at other miraculous springs of Our Blessed Mother throughout the world. In particular, the Blessed Mother has called the miraculous spring on the grounds of Maranatha Spring and Shrine (home of Holy Love Ministries, http://www.holylove.org), as the “Lourdes” of the western continents. So, if you cannot obtain Lourdes water from France, I suggest that you obtain water from miraculous springs closer to where you live, perhaps, Holy Love, etc. It should have equally beneficial healing properties as well.

Lastly, I have talked a lot about holy water in this commentary, but some of you may not have access to a priest who can bless holy water for you on a regular basis. In that case, I suggest that you use blessed salt, which is another great sacramental and can be just as effective as holy water. Store-bought containers of salt blessed by a priest will actually last longer than having gallons of holy water on-hand and they take up less space. Again, the benedictine and Latin Rite blessings are more powerful than the vernacular prayer used today by most parish priests, etc., and blessed salt can be used in cooking, sprinkled in food, or mixed in a glass of regular water to drink. Or, you can simply put a tiny bit on the tip of your tongue to swallow each day, etc. So, if you cannot get regular blessings of holy water from your parish priest, try having him bless several containers of salt–that should last you a very long time!

Anyways, I wrote this commentary mainly for the many people suffering from debilitating physical, mental, and life-threatening diseases, like cancer. I cannot promise a cure or complete healing, but holy water has been an amazing medicinal for my family and I. Properly used, it can be a wonderful spiritual aid in your healing.

God bless!
–a soul

Additional Note:
I just remembered. Of note, the holy water blessed by the priest with the Easter candle during the Easter Mass for the baptisms of the catechumens has special graces attached to it. It is not just the simple holy water normally blessed by the parish priests throughout the year. Although you likely would not have enough for drinking, I do suggest that you bring a small bottle with you to Easter Mass so you can obtain some of this special holy water afterwards for blessing yourself. God bless!

Once again, I (Maureen) see a Great Flame that I have come to know as the Heart of God the Father. He says:

“I am Lord of all Creation. All things are subject to Me. To believe this is to trust. In order to trust, the soul needs to give the present moment over to me. This surrender means you accept whatever My Divine Will sends you. This is the attitude which makes your prayers stronger. This is the attitude which closes the gap between My Heart and the heart of the world.”

“Often when things seem the most desperate, it is this trustful surrender which pulls the greatest graces from My Heart. So few believe this. Their lack of trust grieves Me. I come to inspire each soul’s trustful surrender in the present moment.”

Read Luke 11:10+
