Monthly Message to All Nations

Blessed Mother is here as Mary, Refuge of Holy Love. She says:

“Praise be Jesus.”

“I invite you to see that the Eternal Father holds a plan in his Heart for the world and all humanity. It is not ours to see how every piece fits in the puzzle, or the amount of time it takes to come together; but, we know the final outcome will be the conformity of man’s will to the Will of God.”

“Many events must take place first. It is necessary in order for the pieces to fit. Some events will carry with them an awakening as to the power of God, and the uselessness of money, power, and status in the world. All will take place to show mankind the necessity of relying upon God’s grace and strength, and upon each other. And so, people will be brought to the footpath of Holy Love. Those who rely on their own efforts will be lost.”

“Do not live in fear, as Satan would have it. Live in Holy Love, as though My Son, Jesus had already returned. Then you will be given grace to see the path and the way.”

“It is during these days of trial that are to come, each one’s strengths and weaknesses will be brought to light. And so, My children, I am asking you to prepare interiorly, through My message of Holy Love.”

“Dear children, today I remind you that I come to you so that all nations and all people will be reconciled to their Creator. Realize, My dear children, that annihilation by a nuclear power is not a deterrent to war for some leaders in the world. This is why, dear children, I call you to realize this simple and humble message of Holy Love can bring lasting peace into the world.”

Maureen asks Blessed Mother if She will heal some of the people here today. She says:

“My daughter, some will be healed; more will be healed on December 12th; and others will conform their will to the Will of God through the cross.”

Jesus is now with Blessed Mother. The United Hearts Blessing is given.

March 18, 1997

Our Lady comes as Refuge of Holy Love. She says:

“My coming to you today is a grace for all mankind. My daughter, the sands of time are running out. Hearts will never find peace through efforts in the world. Peace cannot be legislated or negotiated. Peace must first be established between God and all people. Only then will peace and harmony be restored to the world. Today this area faces much loss of income. Those who are not in Our United Hearts will face the days ahead with fear. But I come to you so that nothing in the world brings you fear. I come so that you will be at peace. My way of Holy Love seems too simple to the sophisticated. But, I tell you, it is the way out of every situation. Holy Love is the harmony of the cosmos, of nature, and of all humanity.”

“I come to you so that you will seek this solution — the only solution.”

“I am blessing you.”

Monthly Message to All People and Every Nation
5th Anniversary – Feast of Mary, Refuge of Holy Love

Jesus and Blessed Mother are here with Their Hearts exposed. Blessed Mother says:

“Praise be to Jesus.”

Jesus:

“I am your Jesus, born Incarnate.”

“I have come once again to tell the world that it is error in hearts which causes every kind of problem you face today. All of these errors proceed from lack of Holy Love.”

“These days the future of the world teeters on the brink of disaster. Yet, mankind arrogantly ignores My call to conversion through these messages of Holy Love. Apathy and compromise have consumed the hearts of important government leaders and a majority of the world’s population.”

“And so, I am calling the remnant faithful whom I have formed in the Heart of My Mother, to arms. There is in the world a grim anti-culture of selfish love that we must combat by prayer and sacrifice. Pick up your rosaries and pray for Holy Love to be victorious in hearts and in the world. Holy Love is the victory and the defeat of Satan.”

“You must realize, disordered self-love is a spiritual disease which is eating away at the heart of the world and has riddled the heart of My Church upon earth. My Mother, who so grieves the loss of souls and the destruction man calls upon himself, has taken this petition–the victory of Holy Love in hearts–to the holy souls in Purgatory. They are praying with you, along with the Church Triumphant in Heaven.”

“I tell you solemnly, the will of man and the will of the world will never be fixed on the Divine Will of God until the disease of selfish love is eradicated from their midst. The cure–the medicine–for this disease is Holy Love. The cost of this inoculation is surrender of self-love. It is only in complete surrender that the world will be drawn back into harmony with the Divine Will of My Father.”

“My brothers and sisters, do not be surprised when I tell you that the solution to all of mankind’s problems–the problems in the Church and in the world at large–rests in conversion through Holy Love. For what ails the world is a spiritual blight, and the only solution is a spiritual renewal and conversion through Holy Love.”

“Today We extend to you the Blessing of Our United Hearts.”

November 25, 2016

“Dear children! Also today, I am calling you to return to prayer. In this time of grace, God has permitted me to lead you towards holiness and a simple life – that in little things you discover God the Creator; that you fall in love with Him; and that your life be a thanksgiving to the Most High for everything He is giving you. Little children, in love, may your life be a gift for others and God will bless you; but you, witness without interest – out of love for God. I am with you and intercede before my Son for all of you. Thank you for having responded to my call.”

New Book – “Stream of Light: Mary’s Locutions to the World by Topic” from Servant Press

stream-of-light-marys-locutions-to-the-world-by-topic

COMMENT (by a soul):
Servant Press, the official publisher for the Volumes of Locutions To The World, recently published a new hard-copy book called, “Stream of Light: Mary’s Locutions to the World by Topic.” The book does not have any new locutions, but what the editor has done is organize various locutions surrounding the theme of the story of God’s Plan for mankind and how that plan is being realized in this present moment of human history. There are 14 chapters and each chapter has commentary alongside the locutions. The commentary includes references to other Catholic works, Holy Scripture, and the Catechism. Although I do not agree with all the conclusions drawn from the locutions in the commentary, I do still think the book is worth purchasing because it has many spiritual insights into understanding the locutions. Finally, I am very happy that Servant Press is continuing work on the locutions, is offering this book based on the locutions and I hope that more books will be forthcoming. The book can be purchased from Amazon.com and here is the link: https://www.amazon.com/Stream-Light-Marys-Locutions-World/dp/153050788X/

God bless!

What Is Holy Love – Holy Love Is

***

Holy Love Ministry
http://www.holylove.org

WHAT HOLY LOVE IS

 “Holy Love is:”

  • “The Two Great Commandments of Love – to love God above all else and to love neighbor as self.”
  • “The fulfillment and the embodiment of the Ten Commandments.”
  • “The measure by which all souls will be judged.”
  • “The barometer of personal holiness.”
  • “The Gateway to the New Jerusalem.”
  • “The Immaculate Heart of Mary.”
  • “The First Chamber of the United Hearts.”
  • “The Purifying Flame of Love of Mary’s Heart that all souls must pass through.”
  • “The Refuge of Sinners and the Ark of these last days.”
  • “The source of unity and peace amongst all people and all nations.”
  • “Holy Love is God’s Divine Will.”

“Realize that only evil would be opposed to Holy Love.”
(Jesus – November 8, 2010)

THE TWO GREAT COMMANDMENTS

When the Pharisees heard that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, they assembled in a body; and one of them, a lawyer, in an attempt to trip Him up, asked Him, “Teacher, which commandment of the law is the greatest?”

Jesus said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with your whole heart, with your whole soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and first commandment. The second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments the whole law is based, and the prophets as well.”

(Matthew 22:34-40)

THE VIRTUE OF LOVE

“I am your Jesus, born Incarnate.””

I have come to speak to you about the virtue of love. Holy Love is, as you know, the Two Great Commandments: love God above all else and your neighbor as yourself. It is the embrace of all Ten Commandments. Holy Love is the Immaculate Heart of My Mother. It is the Divine Will of God.”

“Holy Love can be likened to the sun, which spills its rays over the earth enlightening the shadows of darkness. It is like the keys to the Kingdom I entrusted to My apostle Peter. It is the door to My Sacred Heart and union with Divine Love.”

“Holy Love is the harmony between man, nature, and the Creator. It is the interpretation of the law and the means of all sanctification.”

“The will of man must choose Holy Love. It is not open to debate, and stands undaunted in the face of discernment. Holy Love cannot be judged, for it is the judge.”

“Holy Love is offered in every present moment and follows the soul into eternity.”

(June 28, 1999)

THE EFFECTS OF HOLY LOVE IN THE HEART
From St. Francis de Sales

“I have come to you to speak about the effects of Holy Love in the heart.”

“Holy Love can transform the most mundane task into a powerful redemptive tool in the Hands of God.”

“Holy Love, when it is accepted in the heart, can transform darkness into the Light of Truth.”

“Holy Love can inspire victory over sin; therefore, Holy Love is the foundation of every conversion of heart.”

“Holy Love is the vehicle of surrender of free will to accept God’s Divine Will.”

“It is Holy Love which helps the soul to recognize God’s grace in every cross.”

“These are sound reasons for souls to accept these Messages and to support this Mission of Holy Love by living the Messages. To do so is to allow your heart to be transformed by Holy Love. To do so is to follow the pursuit of Holy Perfection.”

(January 14, 2012)

“Without Holy Love in the heart, good deeds, penance and reparation are hollow; for Holy Love is the foundation of holiness, righteousness and truth. It is impossible for the soul to comply with the Divine Will of the Father apart from Holy Love, for God’s Will is Holy Love.”

“Holy Love leads the soul away from focus on self to focus on God and neighbor. This leads the heart into balance with the Divine Will. The soul gradually loses sight of how everything affects him – to focus on how everything affects God and neighbor. Such a soul is a jewel in God’s Eyes and mounts swiftly up the Stairway to Holiness. This is the path to perfection.”

(January 16, 2012)

SELF-LOVE vs. HOLY LOVE

SELF-LOVE

HOLY LOVE

Is motivated towards self-advantage in thought, word, and deed. Is motivated in every thought, word, and action by love of God, and neighbor as self.
Sees only others’ faults, not his own. Considers himself on the right path—perhaps even humble and virtuous. Sees himself full of imperfections. Is always seeking to be perfected through love. Considers everyone more humble and holy than himself.
Holds a checklist in his heart of every wrong perpetrated against him. Imitates Divine Mercy as best he can. Is compassionate and forgiving.
Is quick to anger and stands vigil over his own rights making certain they are not transgressed. Is patient. Takes note of others’ needs and concerns.
Hangs on to his own opinions refusing to surrender to another viewpoint. Offers his own opinions but listens to others and lends them equal merit with his own.
Takes pride in his own achievements. May even take pride in his spiritual progress. Realizes all things proceed from God; that without God he is capable of no good thing. All good comes from grace.
Sees himself and the world as the be-all/end-all. His only pleasure is thus achieved through the world. Takes joy in storing up heavenly treasure, in growing closer to God and deeper in holiness. Knows the difference between earthly pleasures and spiritual joy.
Uses the goods of the world to satisfy self. Uses the goods of the world to satisfy quest for holiness.
Objects to every cross. Sees trials as a curse. Resents others’ good fortune. Surrenders to the cross through love as Jesus did. Sees crosses as a grace to be used to convert others.
Prays only for himself and his own needs. Prays for all in need.
Cannot accept God’s Will. Becomes bitter over trials. Accepts God’s Will with a loving heart even when difficult.

(Given to Maureen Sweeney-Kyle by Blessed Mother on August 18, 1997)

“When someone listens to God’s voice, they walk a different road” – Heaven needs more People of Conviction in the world

Locutions To The World

March 10, 2012
The Person of Conviction”

MARY

“When someone listens to God’s voice, they walk a different road.  They do not allow themselves to be moved to the right or the left.  They seek to follow only God’s voice.  They speak with others to gain advice.  They put themselves under obedience to their director.  They practice the virtues, all for one goal.  They want to obey God.”

“The greatest gift is to have a heart that wants only to obey God.  During persecutions, the person will not swerve from the true path.  Even in the greatest difficulties, the person will not compromise their principles.  They stand firm and act according to their convictions.”

No Strength of Will

“How different is this person from those who listen to a world which does not care about truth.  The world lives by expediency.  The world does not seek the light because the darkness serves it well.  Confusion and chaos dominate the world because people have set aside their convictions and the strength of will to put their belief into practice.”

A Person of Conviction

“Let me speak about the person of conviction.  I can use that person.  I can lift up that person to a high position because I can trust the person. He/she will not sell me out.  A person of conviction cannot be bought or intimidated.  They stand firm and others know that the person will not go back on their word.”

“O reader, I am talking about truths that are easy to understand.  I am speaking about earthly realities that are so evident.  Yet, being a person of truth and fidelity to your convictions is also a heavenly reality.  When I see a person who follows the world in the spirit of expediency, I never give that person my gifts.  These favors would be tossed overboard, jettisoned at the first opportune moment.  The person of expediency always finds something else that suits them better.  When I see a person of conviction, I give that person a gift.  As they are faithful, I give another gift and yet another.  As they are fruitful in small things, I give greater gifts.  If they continue to be faithful, I trust them with all of my treasures and they bless the whole world.”

“That person can be you.  Start now.  Hold on to your convictions.  Live by what you believe.  Don’t be influenced by others who would steal your ideals and leave you wounded by the wayside.  I cannot be too strong on this.  That person totally blessed by me, can be you.  I want it to be you.”

Jesus is here with His Heart exposed. He says:

“I am your Jesus, born Incarnate.”

“My brothers and sisters, continue to trust in the way My Provision comes into your personal lives and into the Heart of the Ministry. It is your trust that propels the Father’s Will forward.”

“Tonight, I’m blessing you with My Blessing of Divine Love.”

The Poor Souls and Purgatory Resources – MaryRefugeOfHolyLove

COMMENT (by a soul):
I had wanted to do this blog post at the beginning of November, but with the drama of the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election and urgency of the heavenly messages around that time, this task was neglected by me…

But, no more. The poor souls need our help and so, I am posting some resources for followers of the blog, MaryRefugeOfHolyLove, to learn more about Purgatory and to help the poor souls make it finally home.

Firstly, only in November, if you pray the Flame of Love Hail Mary, 10 poor souls are released to Heaven. Imagine if you did an entire Rosary! Here is the special prayer and a link to find out more information on this blog:

“Hail Mary, full of Grace, the Lord is with Thee, blessed are Thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of Thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, spread the effect of grace of Thy Flame of Love over all of humanity, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.”

More Information: Flame of Love Hail Mary
https://maryrefugeofholylove.com/the-seal-of-the-living-god/the-hail-mary-prayer-the-flame-of-love/

Next, according to tradition, St. Gertrude the Great was told by Our Lord that the following prayer, when piously recited, would release 1,000 souls from their suffering in Purgatory:

“Eternal Father,
I offer You the most precious blood
of thy Divine Son, Jesus,
in union with the Masses said
throughout the world today,
for all the Holy Souls in Purgatory,
for sinners everywhere,
for sinners in the universal Church,
for those in my own home,
and in my family. Amen.”

Next, I have been a member of the lay association, Friends of the Suffering Souls (FOSS), for 14 years. The only obligation of members is to arrange one Holy Mass each year for their perpetual 100 daily Masses for the poor souls. Periodically, they email newsletters about Purgatory and miracle stories of members in the association. I suggest everyone join and you can also join other people (living and deceased) so they can receive spiritual benefit of the perpetual Masses, too.

Friends of the Suffering Souls (FOSS)

Next, if you have any deceased souls who need the benefit of Masses, you can enroll them for free into the Purgatory Project, which is an online Registry of the Dead. Sometimes, I will enroll deceased souls I read about in the daily news, so they can be taken care of. Here is the website:

Purgatory Project – Holy Souls – Online Registry of the Dead
http://www.holysouls.com/enter.htm

Next, although there are many fine organizations, whenever I need to arrange Masses, especial 30 Gregorian Latin Masses, for deceased souls, I use this Franciscan missionary organization, Seraphic Mass Association. They also do individual Masses and Novena of Masses.

Seraphic Mass Association
https://www.seraphicmass.org/index.asp

Next, if you would like to read some heavenly messages about Purgatory, Holy Love Ministry (http://www.holylove.org), has two books–one in English and another in Spanish, that are free to read online, save for offline, and to print out. Here are the links to the PDFs:

Holy Love – Purgatory (English) (68 pages)
http://www.holylove.org/files/med_1306456651.pdf

Holy Love – Purgatory (Spanish) (64 pages)
http://www.holylove.org/files/ts_1190863273.pdf

Next, Direction For Our Times (http://www.directionforourtimes.com), has a short 24-page online PDF booklet called, “Heaven Speaks To Those Who Fear Purgatory”. It contains heavenly messages from various Saints.  I also recommend people purchase chosen soul, Anne’s book, Mist of Mercy, which has many spiritual insights into the state of Purgatory, based on Anne’s visits there.

Next, if you would like to read online for free a good short book on Purgatory, here is a link to a classic book on the subject. It is called, “Read Me or Rue It”, by Fr. Paul O’Sullivan, and includes many heavenly messages that give insights into the state of poor souls.

“Read Me or Rue It” by Fr. Paul O’Sullivan
http://www.theworkofgod.org/Library/Purgatry/Readme.htm

Finally, here is a short article called, “The Secret of the Poor Souls in Purgatory”. It is an interview with the now-deceased Austrian mystic, Maria Simma, who suffered for and had many encounters with the poor souls. It provides a lot of information on the subject.

Jesus Christ – “In order to restore peace in your country, I must first restore peace in all hearts”

Holy Love Ministry
http://www.holylove.org

November 17, 2016

“I am your Jesus, born Incarnate.”

“In order to restore peace in your country, I must first restore peace in all hearts. Hearts influenced by outside agitation, for whatever reason, have chosen an unstable way of life.”

November 17, 2016

“I am your Jesus, born Incarnate.”

“I cannot change free-will choices, but I can influence them by means of circumstances of grace. The depths of My Heart hold profound desires for the direction of mankind, not the least of which is a firm spiritual foundation along the path of Holy Love.”

“Sometimes the influence of grace seems to be a negative, while in reality it is drawing the human will into dependence upon Divine Providence. In retrospect, the soul is able to see that the path he was forced to follow through circumstances was really the best path for him, even though not of his own choosing.”

“Give thanks in every circumstance and in all things, as My Hand of Provision is never far from you. I am always changing human plans into My Plans.”

The Stirrings Of A New Beginning For America And For The World – Locutions To The World

COMMENT (by a soul):
I am in the process of writing a new commentary explaining the huge turning point of the U.S. Presidential Election for the future of America and the future of the world. I am including several heavenly messages that were given during the past year from different sources. I hope to have it finished by Saturday to share on the blog. In the meantime, I want to re-share some heavenly messages from Locutions To The World, which provide a little insight into what Jesus and the Blessed Mother desire to bring about in America, and through the Consecration of Russia and Secrets of Medjugorje, to the entire world. My hope is that it will provide followers some points for further reflection of the Divine Plan in advance of my commentary this weekend. God bless! –a soul

Locutions To The World

October 13, 2012
“I Am Coming Soon”

JESUS

“You must know my heart and my burning desire to visit the earth in ways that have never happened since I became flesh and lived among men. This will begin very soon. Yes, I am coming soon. Before this takes place, I must explain clearly the nature of my coming and how I will manifest myself. Otherwise, many will miss my coming, just as many missed my first coming in the flesh. This is the purpose of these locutions.”

MARY

“Before Jesus came, Israel was prepared by the ministry of John the Baptist. Otherwise, Jesus’ coming on the scene would have been too hidden. The hidden years of Nazareth were completed. It was no longer a time for him to remain hidden.”

“Before his death on the cross, it was vital that there be some years of manifestation. This happened by his preaching, his miracles and the gathering of disciples. Although many in Israel rejected or ignored Jesus, the years of manifestation bore fruit. The seed of faith in Jesus was sown in the hearts of the disciples. This bore fruit in the Church which continues to this day. So, do not despise the time of little beginnings. Such will be these locutions, the seeds of a small but powerful beginning.”

October 14, 2012
“Signs and Wonders”

JESUS

“Obviously, I will not come in the flesh, because this is how I came the first time. Also, I will not come in glory when every eye will see and all will be gathered together by the angels. How then will I come? I will come in signs and wonders, in great powers and in miracles that have never been witnessed before. I will come in graces of massive conversions, massive both in their extraordinary nature and in the numbers who will be touched.”

“These miracles and conversions will be beginning signs. They will begin immediately and will prepare the world for the greater events. These will be external and internal experiences. The external will be seen by all in a given part of the world and will lead to many conversions.”

“The internal experiences will be worldwide, but of course, hidden from view because they will take place within the person’s heart. However, many will speak of their experiences. In this way they, too, will become external. All of these are not the final gift but will lead up to and will prepare for the great gift of my coming.”

MARY

“My task is the same as that of John the Baptist. Jesus will come in a special way but he will not force his divine presence upon anyone. In his public life, his divinity was kept hidden.  He would tell people that he was the special Son of the Father, but, seeing only his human nature, they had to believe his words. So it will be again. His full coming in heavenly glory, when every eye shall see, still lies ahead!”

“His present coming is not in human flesh or in heavenly glory. Therefore, I must prepare the world, just as John the Baptist did, for this coming which is already taking place and to which people must respond to receive the blessings.”

October 15, 2012
“Preparing for the Coming”

JESUS

“This great and final gift of my special coming, by which I will bring an unimaginable period of peace to the world, must be prepared for. If the people respond to these religious stirrings, they will hasten my coming. All must share. All must participate. All must be open. All must receive. Everyone is very important in this enterprise. I am coming soon.”

MARY

“How active I have been and how even more active I will become. The world is in these special days of Jesus’ divine visitation. The initial gifts have already begun to fall from the heavens. The great and new manifestations of Jesus’ divine powers are ready to be poured out. All must believe. As the angel Gabriel said to me “All things are possible with God”. This must be the new religious spirit that fills my Church. Yes, it must first fill my Church and then spill out to the whole world. Where else would I begin? First, I offer these gifts to believers. If they do not accept them, I will go directly to the world. Oh, how I want my Church to be open to these new signs and wonders. Just remember, “With God, all things are possible”. As the signs begin, many non-believers will come to faith in the Church.”

October 16, 2012
“Need To Believe”

JESUS

“Many will not believe my words, even those who try to serve me. They will continue to use their own efforts to bring about my kingdom. However, these efforts will fail. They are not enough in the face of the enormous powers of modern evil.”

“If, however, they believe and open their hearts to my coming, I will share with them my powers. I will do my signs and wonders through them because they so much want to serve me. To these I address my words because through them many others will be led into the kingdom. To these servants, especially, I say, “I am coming. Watch and pray.””

MARY

“When the angel came to me and told me that I would be the Mother of God, I had to believe. God was about to bring the greatest blessing in history. He would take flesh and dwell among us. This was the moment of Jesus’ first coming. However, this all depended on me. God would not force his way into his own creation. Such is the way of God. He places so much in the hands of men.”

“At that moment, I had to believe that God would truly do this. So you, O servant of the Most High, who so desire that his kingdom come, who so desires a complete victory over evil, you, too, must believe these words. Jesus will come upon the earth in a special way with extraordinary manifestations. Please believe his words so that his power is fully manifested.”

October 17, 2012
“Two Great Realities”

JESUS

“To my servants, I say, “Do not just go about your daily work, as if these were normal times. The wolf is at the door and the harvest is ripe. Yes, there are two great realities that demand from you a lifting up of your eyes”. “The wolf is at the door” means that the Evil One wants to destroy my Church and he believes that this is possible. He feels that he has so captured mankind that he can come directly against the Church. “The harvest is ripe” means that this is also the moment of the greatest conversions, when mankind will turn in great numbers to me and to my Church. So, I say, lift up your eyes from your work to see that I am coming soon.”

MARY

“So much depends upon human cooperation. Would God have become a man if I had said “no”? Even to ask that question is to shudder. There would have been a world without Jesus, a world that remained totally under the Evil One, a world with no hope and no light.”

““The wolf is at the door”. Mankind has no idea of what is imminent. Only Jesus can save the world and he is already pouring out signs and wonders. However, you who so love him and love his Church must be prepared to respond. Listen carefully to my words. “Set aside many of your works. Some are useless anyway. Come with me into Jesus’ presence. Spend hours each day in prayerful quiet. There, I will prepare you.” My message is easy to grasp. Jesus will come and I will prepare you, but I need hours each day to do this.”

October 18, 2012
“Those Who Do Not Listen”

JESUS

“If I speak and those who work for me do not listen, I will allow them to go their own ways, living out their years but not accomplishing much for my Church. If they are in critical positions, I will move them off the scene and give my vineyard to others who will know how to reap the new harvests by greater faith and fidelity to my words. In all things I will be gentle, but I will not allow the great harvest to come and to die on the vine.”

MARY

“This is not a time to tolerate laziness and sloth. This is not a time to say “Tomorrow I will get to it tomorrow”. The urgency is now. The need to act is now. The need to prepare is now. There is no more time to waste. Too much time has already been wasted (while Satan’s forces have been active and alive). So, I say to you who love my Church and to you who have given your life for my Church, “It is not too late to regain what has been lost. You are now in a season of refreshment, a season of heavenly favors never seen since the Word became Flesh. Yet, all must respond like I did, with special faith.””

“It was not easy to believe that God wanted to become a man. Gabriel had to remind me that all things are possible with God. Also, it was not easy to surrender to the great favor of being God’s mother.”

“The cost was high and the demands were total. You must believe that Jesus is coming. You must accept this by faith and surrender totally to his plan. Much will be asked of you but much will also be given to you. This time will not happen again. It is granted only to those who are living now upon the face of the earth.”

October 19, 2012
“New Vineyards and New Wine”

JESUS

“I look for those whose hearts can expand and whose minds can be filled with new faith. Events will take place that have never been seen before on the face of this earth. They will not force anyone to believe nor will they capture their hearts without their own acceptance.”

“These great gifts will need to be explained so the full harvest of grapes comes forth and the vats of new wine overflow. This is what I am searching for, workers in the vineyard, filled with new faith, who believe in a new harvest and new wineskins.”

“Behold, I will make all things new for all who can be filled with new faith.”

MARY

“I will speak. My tongue will not be silent. God’s favors are too great and are offered to all. The heavens are filled with God’s favors which are about to be released. First, there will be the darkness, the time of seeming hopelessness. Then, the Holy Father will consecrate Russia to my Immaculate Heart and all the graces of Fatima will be released, as if someone had cut a cord that restrained the flow.”

“How I await that moment when the consecration will finally be accomplished and the new era of my Immaculate Heart will begin. This is what Jesus and I am preparing you for by our words. We are not speaking of some far away gifts, or what is not known to you. We speak of what is close, familiar and at hand.”

“New Preachers”

JESUS

“I will stir up the hearts of many who have never heard my call to preach. This will be the first sign. Preachers will come forth. Just as the word came to John the Baptist in the desert, so my words will touch many. They will not have been trained, nor will they come from one walk of life. There will be men and women, old and young.”

“Let no one discourage them. Let no one say that this is not the way to go. Let the floodgates be opened and the preachers sent forth. The time is too short and the harvest is too great. When suddenly young and old, male and female are using my name to cast out demons and to heal and to proclaim that the kingdom is at hand, all will know that the great events of salvation have begun.”

““Can this happen in our secular world?”, you ask. With God, all things are possible. This sign will be clear.”

MARY

“You who read these words, do not wait. Do not say, “Where must I go to be trained?” You have these locutions. They have trained you. They have stirred up your heart. This is what you are to do. Come to me every day in prayer. I will train your heart. I will give you light. I will tell you where to begin and what to do and say.”

“Begin in a little way. Do not grow discouraged. Not everyone will respond. Sometimes, what you do will seemingly have no results. But you are pleasing me. I will note your perseverance and I will be forming you as my instrument. The only important point is not to wait until tomorrow. Begin right now. “O Mary, make me a preacher, one who shares in your task as the new John the Baptist”. There it is. You have chosen the road.”

October 22, 2012
“Evil Collapses”

JESUS

“The other signs will also be clear. Suddenly, the enormous walls of evil will crumble. Those institutions that are built on sin and propagate sinful activities will suddenly fall on hard times – abortion providers, pornography makers, politicians who exploit evil and the gambling casinos. All of these industries Satan has built slowly and I will have them crumble quickly. This is to free my people from these life-destroying parasites, who force their evils especially upon those with addictions. In this way, many will be free to listen to the preachers.”

MARY

“In the gospels, Jesus sent forth his preachers and told them that he would follow them, visiting the towns which were prepared. I, however, say to my preachers, “Do not be afraid. I will go before you. I will prepare the way for you, just as you will prepare the way for my Son.””

“I know that you are fearful and do not know exactly what to do. As I go before you, I will prepare hearts. As you preach, you will be surprised. The people’s hearts have already been touched in a private and silent way. These people need also the external preaching which will confirm what they have already experienced.”

“I will not ask my preachers to form new roads or to remove great mountains. I will do this as I go before you. You will be surprised how these prepared hearts will respond. But you must preach. The people need the external word to confirm their internal experience.”

October 22, 2012
“The Final Words”

JESUS

“There will be more signs that will certainly be noticed. The crudeness of modern life will give way once more to a respect for what is sacred. Lyrics to songs that are so inappropriate will be shunned. Disrespect, which has become ingrained now in relationships, will be once more set aside. People’s language will be purified. Civility will return. The human heart will once more value what is truly worthy of human conduct and will reject what is vile and raw. The Holy Spirit will make mankind gentle and respectful. Those who continue to act inappropriately will find themselves isolated. The preachers will turn the hearts of children to their parents and the hearts of parents to their children.”

MARY

“Now I come to the final word. All is prepared for the banquet of the Lamb but the people most come. They cannot come, unless they know that they are invited. So, I will summarize all that has been said.”

“God has already begun to act upon mankind. These actions are filled with blessings such as have never been seen before. Even with these special blessings, the people might not realize what is happening. Even as the blessings increase, their eyes might still not grasp what they see. So, these words prepare the way. I am the new John the Baptist and my Son is coming into a closer relationship with mankind than ever before.”

“This new stage will be filled with divine manifestations and new invitations for all to repent and turn to the living God. As all of this occurs, you will remember my words.”

Our Lady of Medjugorje
Message Given through Mirjana on the Day for Non-Believers
November 2, 2016
http://www.medjugorje.com

“Dear children, to come to you and to make myself known to you is a great joy for my motherly heart. It is a gift from my Son for you and for others who are coming. As a mother I am calling you: love my Son above everything. In order to love Him with all your heart, you need to come to know Him. You will come to know Him through prayer. Pray with the heart and with your feelings. To pray means to think of His love and sacrifice. To pray means to love, to give, to suffer and to offer. I am calling you, my children, to be apostles of prayer and love. My children, it is a time of vigilance. In this vigil I am calling you to prayer, love and trust. As my Son will be looking in your hearts, my motherly heart desires for Him to see unconditional trust and love in them. The united love of my apostles will live, will conquer and will expose evil. My children, I was a chalice of the God-man; I was God’s instrument. That is why I am calling you, my apostles, to be a chalice of the true and pure love of my Son. I am calling you to be an instrument through which all those who have not come to know the love of God—who have never loved—may comprehend, accept and be saved. Thank you, my children.”

While Our Lady was leaving, Mirjana saw a chalice.

November 1, 2008

JESUS

“Dear apostles, are you aware of My presence? Do you understand how I remain with you in each moment? Sometimes you suffer and in your suffering you feel abandoned. This is merely a feeling that I allow for you so that you can share even that part of My Passion with Me. I could never abandon you and I do not abandon you. I remain with you, consoling you and guiding you. If you are suffering, My friend, you can be sure that I am aware of your suffering and that I am providing you with special graces to cope with your cross. In the same way that I remain with each beloved apostle, I remain with the whole world. I, Jesus, love every person ever created by the Father. I seek goodness and peace for every man and woman on earth. I am looking out for the heavenly interests of all of God’s children. You, My dear ones, possess an earthly view that is limited. I understand that your view is limited because I understand everything about you. At this time I would like you, My beloved apostles, to also accept that your view is limited. In seeking the good of all of God’s children, I must allow changes to come which will impact all of God’s children. I do this to bring about the goodness and peace I refer to but the change will be gradual in terms of the benefits to come. Trust Me in everything. I do not abandon even one of God’s children and My beloved apostles who give Me constant friendship and loyalty will be united with Me in everything. Be at peace, dear children. I am with you.”

Our Lady of Medjugorje
Monthly Message To The World
October 25, 2016
http://www.medjugorje.com

“Dear children! Today I am calling you: pray for peace. Leave selfishness and live the messages which I am giving you. Without them, you cannot change your life. By living prayer, you will have peace. By living in peace, you will feel the need to witness, because you will discover God whom you now feel to be far away. Therefore, little children, pray, pray, pray and permit God to enter into your hearts. Return to fasting and confession so as to overcome the evil in you and around you. Thank you for having responded to my call.”

“Understanding Worldwide Evil”

Mary

The Trojan Horse

Good and evil are not separated. They are intertwined in every event and in every moment. Evil inserts itself into all that is good and good is present even when evil seems to be triumphant. This is the mystery I will explain. Except in those actions which are totally divine, all of human history is a mixture of good and evil.

Not understanding that human events are a mixing of good and evil, man often proclaims as good what is only partially good. He, then, opens his heart to it, not knowing that evil enters with the good. If the evil is not impeded, it takes over the good and destroys it. There remains only the selfishness of man, not the goodness of God which initially inspired the action.

Look at human history. So many events and movements have begun with the good but have ended with evil. See the French Revolution that began with high ideals but soon became the tool of evil, causing social disruption, overturning the divine and making reason the new god of mankind. So much evil goes back to that revolution because man was not aware that evil attached itself to good, like the Trojan horse, to enter unnoticed into the city.

Comment: Mary points out what man often overlooks, the evil mixed with the good that enters history unnoticed until the effects are seen.

Explaining Why Man is Confused

Now, let me explain good and evil. Each has its own fruits and its own source. Good comes from God alone and is given freely to all creation. God saw that everything was good as it came from his hands. Man and woman were created in God’s own image. They were rooted in divine goodness, more than any other material creation. Man was meant to be the bearer of divine life and the purpose of material creation. Yet, man became the door to evil, the only door that Satan could have used, the only creature with free will. What was good (the free will of man) was used for evil and became the door to chaos.

The world is now filled with a goodness that comes from God and an evil that enters by man’s free will. Man does not understand this. It is like light and darkness. As if man forgot that all light comes from the sun. So, he walks away from the sun and is plunged in darkness and he does not know why. Man forgets God. He turns away from God and wonders why the world is plunged into evil. Then, he blames God for the evil that does not come from God.

Progress That is Not Progress

O Man, you must turn back to the source of all goodness. Purify your works of evil. Otherwise, you are blind. Your solutions will be no solutions until you understand that everything which man brings forth is a mixture of good and evil. Without God, the good will always carry evil with it. Without God, the good that was originally intended will soon surrender to the evil that accompanied it. It is a purified mankind that I seek, when creation will once again be creation, “as it was in the beginning”.

Without God, progress is not progress. To each new invention, evil is attached. I do not say, “Halt all progress”. I say, “Let your progress be done in God and it will be true progress. Progress without God carries only greater potential for destruction.”

O Man without God, look at the world you have brought about. Is it progress that your bombs are atomic bombs? Is it progress that your technology destroys the very earth that you live on? Look at all your technology. Look at the powerful Internet that causes so many problems.

Look at everything. Everything you produce for good is taken over by evil. This is the mystery that I put before you. You are building a world without God. You are building a destructive creation. God must purify creation before creation destroys itself.

Comment: Mary answers a confusing question, “Why is the world less safe when we have had so much progress?”

Approaching a Disastrous Moment

The world is approaching that moment when the power of Satan will have two aspects. First, he will have linked his evil into what is truly a worldwide system. Second, this system will contain the power to destroy most of the world.

I say this. The heavenly Father will not allow this but he has only two alternatives. Either he purifies creation by divine chastisements that totally disrupt what Satan is putting in place so that all of creation is not destroyed. Or, the world comes into my Immaculate Heart and I reveal a much easier salvation, by which hearts are touched and the evil attached to progress and inventions is purified. In this way, the power is used for good and not evil.

The choice is a solemn one, filled with a thousand ramification which touch the hearts of people and the fibers of society. I say this again and again – the secrets of God lie in my Immaculate Heart. That is where the Father has placed them.

Comment: What Mary says is almost self-evident. Man is approaching a moment when he not only can destroy himself but the forces of evil are present that are willingly and even hope to destroy large segments of humanity. What she reveals is even more important. The only way to avoid world-wide disaster is to listen to her wisdom.

Jesus Christ – “There is no justification for not following the Journey through Our United Hearts”

Holy Love Ministry
http://www.holylove.org

October 23, 2016

“I am your Jesus, born Incarnate.”

“The Journey through the Chambers of Our United Hearts dispels all confusion and lack of trust in a world so intent upon distancing itself from God. The more man trusts in himself and his own efforts, the more I withdraw My Hand of Protection and Guidance. lt is then mankind makes destructive choices.”

“The soul however, intent on making the Journey through the Chambers of Our United Hearts, grows deeper and deeper in personal holiness. He does not allow his choices or decisions to be influenced by popular opinion or faulty leadership. His decisions are always based upon Holy Love. His decisions reflect obedience to the Ten Commandments through Holy Love and never support sin of any kind.”

“There is no justification for not following the Journey through Our United Hearts. There is no truthful reason to disbelieve. No call to obedience should lead you away from this journey in Holy Love. You are being called to holiness through Holy Love just as I called each soul when I walked amongst you. The Chambers of Our United Hearts is light on the path of holiness.”

I have given you the way to perfection in the Divine Will through the mystical Chambers of Our United Hearts. The key to enter these Chambers is the submission of your will.”

“God knows the Truth of where each one stands according to Holy Love”

Holy Love Ministry
http://www.holylove.org

October 10, 2016

St. Thomas Aquinas says:

“Praise be to Jesus.”

“The Truth is always according to God’s Word and His Law. Lying about the Truth does not change it. Redefining the Truth does not change it. Take for instance, this issue of your annulment from your previous situation. You know you have it. God knows you have it. People from the Diocese cannot change that by any means. The documentation has their seal upon it. Spreading lies about a person is still a sin. I caution them.”

“God knows the Truth of where each one stands according to Holy Love. Titles and authority in the world only bear greater responsibility to live in the Truth and in no way exonerate dishonesty. In politics it is no different. Lying does not redefine the Truth, but only serves to weaken credibility. You must not trust with responsibility those who routinely change the Truth to their advantage.”

Jesus is here with His Heart exposed. He says:

“I am your Jesus, born Incarnate.”

“My brothers and sisters, in an election there are many issues and many decisions to be made, but in this Ministry* there is only one issue – personal holiness through Holy Love. If you do not choose it, you lose more than an important office – you lose your soul.”

“Tonight, I’m blessing you with My Blessing of Divine Love.”

“How Can You Find Eternal Salvation When All You Do Is To Please Yourselves With CARNAL PLEASURES?”

Apostolate of the Green Scapular
http://www.greenscapular.org

MESSAGE FROM OUR SAVIOR JESUS
“HOW CAN YOU FIND ETERNAL SALVATION WHEN ALL YOU DO IS TO PLEASE YOURSELVES WITH CARNAL PLEASURES?”
SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 2016 AT 6:34 PM

(Posted Monday, September 3rd on Apostolate of the Green Scapular website)

Anna Marie: My Lord, I hear you calling me. My Lord, are you Father, Son or Holy Spirit?

JESUS: My dear one, it is I your Lord God and Savior, Jesus of Nazareth.

Anna Marie: Yes my Lord, may I ask please? Will you bow down and adore God your Holy Eternal Father who is the Alpha and Omega, the Creator of all life, of all that is visible and invisible?

JESUS: Yes my dear one, I your Savior, Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God, will now and will always bow down and adore My Holy Eternal Merciful Father, who is the Alpha and Omega, the Creator of all life, of all that is visible and invisible.

Anna Marie: Yes my Lord, please speak for your most sinful daughter is now listening.

JESUS: My dear one, I know how hard you have been working for My Holy Mother Mary, and I ask that you continue to work hard for her, souls and the salvation of souls is at risk. The more you work hard sending forth her blessed Green Scapulars, the more others can receive My healing grace and the hope of salvation for those who either refuse me or simply do not know Me as yet. For all of them, there is still time for them to convert to My Loving and Merciful Heart, My Sacred and Enduring Heart of Love and eternal peace in My Eternal Kingdom in Heaven.

Anna Marie: Yes my Lord.

JESUS: I long for all those who come to you, come to this site of grace and healing, to find the answers to what they are searching for.

Anna Marie: Yes my Lord. My dear Jesus, there are so many people who have molded bread, so many. What can I share with them? What can I offer them in response to their bread turning bad? How can I help them all?

JESUS: My dear one, I know it is very difficult for you to spend time on the phone with them. For this, I will increase your spiritual gifts of discernment for them. They do not understand that they have indeed corrupted their homes with diabolical spirits because they have not listened to My Word. The evil that is prevalent in homes is because my children have not lived with the Sacred Scriptures in their daily lives. If they turn to Me and ask Me to remove all items that must be purged from their homes, I would gladly lead them to do so. But pride, greed and arrogance stand in their way, not allowing them to get rid of those possessed items which turn their children into outrageous and deviant behavior and those items that turn married couples into the worst of enemies. In today’s reading, there is understanding of what a true loving Christian man or woman should do and to strive for, to please their God, not to please themselves. It has been a constant battle for most.

Anna Marie: Yes my Lord.

JESUS: They would rather blame each other, than find the fault in themselves which causes the separation between a Sacramentally married couple. Oh children, how can you expect to find eternal salvation when all you do is to please yourselves with CARNAL PLEASURES? Have you no fear of your Creator, the Almighty God? I ask all of my children to pray more, pray within your homes, pray for my grace and mercy to come and permeate your homes and your lives. Then will you begin to see my saving and divine grace change your daily lives into the family I pray that you will all become.

[A private message was given.]

Anna Marie: Thank you Jesus, I love you Jesus.

Scripture Readings for Sunday, September 4, 2016

A reading from the Book of Wisdom (Chapter 9:13 18a)

Who can know God’s counsel, or who can conceive what the Lord intends? For the deliberations of mortals are timid, and unsure are our plans. For the corruptible body burdens the soul and the earthen shelter weighs down the mind that has many concerns. And scarce do we guess the things on earth, and what is within our grasp we find with difficulty; but when things are in heaven, who can search them out? Or who ever knew your counsel, except you had given wisdom and sent your Holy Spirit from on high? And thus were the paths of those on earth made straight. The word of the Lord.

Responsorial Psalm 90

R. In every age, O Lord, you have been our refuge.

You turn man back to dust, saying, “Return, O children of men.”

For a thousand years in your sight are as yesterday, now that it is past, or as a watch of the night. R.

You make an end of them in their sleep; the next morning they are like the changing grass,

Which at dawn springs up anew, but by evening wilts and fades. R.

Teach us to number our days aright, that we may gain wisdom of heart.

Return, O Lord! How long? Have pity on your servants! R.

Fill us at daybreak with your kindness, that we may shout for joy and gladness all our days.

And may the gracious care of the Lord our God be ours;

Prosper the work of our hands for us! Prosper the work of our hands! R.

A reading from the Letter of Saint Paul to Philemon (Chapter 9 10, 12 17)

I, Paul, an old man, and now also a prisoner for Christ Jesus, urge you on behalf of my child Onesimus, whose father I have become in my imprisonment; I am sending him, that is my own heart, back to you. I should have liked to retain him for myself, so that he might serve me on your behalf in my imprisonment for the gospel, but I did not want to do anything without your consent, so that the good you do might not be forced but voluntary. Perhaps this is why he was away from you for a while, that you might have him back forever, no longer as a slave but more than a slave, a brother, beloved especially to me, but even more so to you as a man and in the Lord. So if you regard me as a partner, welcome him as you would me. The Lord of the Lord.

Alleluia, alleluia. Let your face shine upon your servants and teach me your laws. Alleluia, alleluia.

A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke (Chapter 13:25 33)

Great crowds were travelling with Jesus, and He turned and address them, “If anyone comes to me without hating his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, and even his own life, he cannot be My disciple. Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple. Which of you wishing to construct a tower does not first sit down and calculate the cost to see if there is enough for its completion? Otherwise, after laying the foundation and finding himself unable to finish the work the onlookers should laugh at him and say, ‘This one began to build but did not have the resources to finish.’ Or what king marching into battle would not first sit down and decide whether with ten thousand troops he can successfully oppose another king advancing upon him with twenty thousand troops? But if not, while he is still far away, he will send a delegation to ask for peace terms. In the same way, anyone of you who does not renounce all his possessions cannot be my disciple.”

The Gospel of the Lord.

R. Praise to YOU Lord Jesus Christ

The Lord is asking us all to pick up our cross, follow Him, surrender ourselves, our children and spouse because we must follow Him above all else first!

Monthly Message to All Nations

Jesus and Blessed Mother are here with Their Hearts exposed. Blessed Mother says:

“Praise be Jesus.”

“The needs here are many and varied today, but I invite you to pray with Me for those who oppose the Mission of Holy Love in their hearts.”

“My dear children, as the millennium draws near, many seek answers and many think they know about future events. But, I invite you to realize that Scripture has it, no one prophesizes perfectly.* Further, I invite you to discover the truth of Holy Love in the present moment. While you worry for the future, you have missed the grace of the present.”

“This much I reveal to you. A great shadow of suffering has, and will, pass over this country. But it shall not rest upon it. This is because of your prayers and sacrifices, and in reward for the benevolent nature of your nation towards other countries less fortunate. But, I tell you, formulas and schemes have been shared during this decade with nations that do not understand their potential. Trust has been placed in those who are untrustworthy. Therefore, I call you once again to a renewed spirit of prayer and sacrifice. There are many scheming hearts in your world who have not been reconciled to God.”

“Dear children, I have come to you so that you will understand how important your free will is. You can follow Satan into the world, or you can choose to be united to Me through the Refuge of My Immaculate Heart. Satan calls you along the road of deceit and confusion. The path I call you upon is joy, peace, and love. To choose one, you must give up the other. You cannot live in Holy Love and live in sin at the same time. Each one knows best what he must abandon in order to follow Me into the Heart of My Son.”

“Dear children, it is not necessary that you believe My presence is here in order to be saved; but I caution you, you must live in Holy Love in order to reach salvation. Holy Love, which is to love God above all else and your neighbor as yourself, is gospel, irrefutable, and not subject to your discernment. Therefore, I come to invite you along the path of holiness through Holy Love. But I do not pull or push you. I wait for you to decide. When you come to Me with your heart open, I will embrace you. Dear children, I am always loving you.”

The United Hearts Blessing is given.

“Praised be Jesus, born Incarnate.”

“My darling, look at Me. Regard the love I have for you. Understand that it is not necessary to know all that will happen. Even when you are in the desert, I am leading you. Remember, the events in My own life were not given to Me in advance. Rather, I depended on God to lead us in whatever way He would, knowing and believing in His love. It is when you begin to think Heaven’s plan depends on you that Satan leads you into worry.”

“What you need, I will give in a timely manner. Go in peace.”

“I am your Jesus, born Incarnate.”

“I come to help you understand more deeply the Mystery of My Heart. The chambers of My Heart echo and reverberate simplistic love. It is souls who thus immerse themselves in the Divine Will that I pour My favor upon. Simplistic love directs all thought, word, and action towards pleasing Me. The soul is able to accomplish this only with a heart steeped in love.”

“I cannot teach you to love with a simplistic heart. You must surrender to it. When the soul chooses this simplistic love, he desires nothing else. His needs and desires become My needs and desires. Thus, through the soul’s free will, I am permitted to be united with him. I am describing to you the innermost chamber of My Heart. The door to this chamber – to simplistic love – is resistant to any self will, attachment, or obstacle such as unforgiveness.”

“The souls in this chamber are free of worry and fear. They trust Me. Souls in this chamber have found peace in My Will for them. I am in the present moment with them.”

“Surrender to Me. The fortune of My Heart is My Will for you. Seek only this inheritance and no other treasure.”

“I am your Jesus, born Incarnate.”

“You have heard Me say many times that inordinate self love is the instrument Satan uses to oppose Holy Love. Let Me detail in its entirety this obstacle to personal holiness.”

“Inordinate means disordered or excessive. When the soul does not pay much heed between wants and needs, it is a sign of this disordered love. This would be evident in how the soul makes use of and regards the goods of the world, such as clothing, housing, food and the like.”

“But there are other signs of inordinate self love. Fear is one. This is why. The soul caught up in fear, whether it is fear of the future or worry over past sins, in effect is telling Me ‘I don’t trust you. I only trust myself.’ The more the soul withdraws from Me and places confidence in his own efforts, the more I withdraw from him and My grace eludes him. (Hypochondria and scruples are signs of this fear.)”

“Another area of inordinate self love is unforgiveness. This is a grave sin. It draws the soul’s attention in on himself (‘poor me’) and away from Me. Such a soul is not living the law of Holy Love. He is deflecting the gift of My Mercy in his own soul through his own lack of forgiveness towards his neighbor. As you judge, so shall you be judged.”

“Here is another sure sign of self love. It is self-righteousness. This person is in love with his own opinion. More than that, he believes everyone else is wrong. Perhaps you are leading a good and holy life according to Holy Love. But, I tell you, self-righteousness reflects another sign of disordered love which is fear of loss of reputation. Such a soul is not simplistic, but cares very much about his reputation. He loves esteem and honor. He is tempted to say and do many things which compromise the law of love so that others may have high regard for him.”

“If you meditate on what I have said to you today, it will become easier to make the consecration of Divine Love giving to Me your health, your appearance, and your comforts.”

“Make this known to the world. I will bless you.”

“I am your Jesus, born Incarnate.”

“I have come to help you understand that when you worry, you have not surrendered everything to Me. What you worry over is that which you want to control. This shows lack of trust in God’s Divine Will. Make this known.”

June 12, 2003

“I am your Jesus, born Incarnate.”

“In the world trust in Divine Providence is mere folly. For the world trusts that which it can experience only with the senses. But to the spiritually wise, trust in the Divine Provision of My Sacred Heart is the path of fulfillment, rich in promise, enduring in consolation.”

“Do not waste a moment in worry. Worry is one of Satan’s traps that he uses to capture the present moment for himself. Rather, let the present moment be sealed forever in faith, hope and love. Then I will bless you abundantly.”

July 17, 2004

“I am your Jesus, born Incarnate.”

“I have come to tell you that greater merit is earned through trust than any other single virtue. I say this, for love and trust are the same. Holy Love and Holy Trust are always coupled and they are the embodiment of every other virtue. No one can trust Me who does not love Me. No one can say they love Me who does not also trust in Me.”

“Those who worry or fear for any reason should understand they need to be purified through a deeper perfection in Holy Love.”

Conversation with Divine Love

“I am your Jesus, born Incarnate.”

“Deep in My Heart are all your concerns. You do not see how I am going to act or the outcome of God’s Will for you. You contemplate problems with only a human perspective. Worry affects your spirit, as does any negative emotion. I desire your joy and peace. Reserve your concerns for Me. I am the One who helps you.”

Jesus and Blessed Mother are here with Their Hearts exposed. They’re surrounded by 20-30 angels. Jesus says:

“I am your Jesus, born Incarnate.”

Blessed Mother says:

“Praise be to Jesus.”

Jesus:

“My brothers and sisters, tonight I have come to remind you that you cannot retrieve the present moment–once it passes, it is gone forever. Do not lose the preciousness of the gift of the present moment through worry or anxiety, or any form of lack of peace. Rather, trust Me, for this is the way to consecrate each moment to Holy and Divine Love. Remember that every situation has its root and its end in the Divine Will of My Eternal Father.”

“Tonight We’re blessing you with the Blessing of Our United Hearts.”

Ecumenical Prayer for Unity Amongst All People

Jesus is here, all in white. He says:

“I am your Jesus, born Incarnate.”

“Today, My brothers and sisters, you must realize that Satan is trying every inroad into your hearts to destroy your peace. He is the Father of Lies–the master deceiver and unrelenting accuser.”

“The devil tries to rob you of the present moment through guilt, anxiety and worry. These three–guilt, anxiety and worry–are always the enemy’s attack on your trustful surrender to the Divine Will of My Father. My Father’s Will is Pure Mercy–Pure Love.”

“When Satan is able to weaken your trust in the Divine Will, he strengthens his grip on your heart and weakens your journey into Holy and Divine Love.”

“Today, My brothers and sisters, realize that there are many obstacles that can come between your heart and Mine. Your heart can be divided by love of the world, love of reputation, love of your appearance; but these, for certain, are the greatest weapons Satan uses–guilt, anxiety and worry. With these he destroys your trust and your love of Me and of the Divine Will. Therefore, stand guard over your heart and recognize his attacks.”

“I’m blessing you with My Blessing of Divine Love.”

Conversation with Divine Love

“I am your Jesus, born Incarnate.”

“I am in your forgetfulness, as I am in every human shortcoming, for I am in the midst of your heart. It is I Who help you to overcome error through the Divine Provision of My Father’s Will. It is I Who correct and advise so that you return to the path that will lead to bringing the most souls to Me.”

“Do not waste, then, the precious, present moment in worry or concern for human mistakes. Give everything over to Me Who will bring good to the world through you. This way, the present moment is sanctified.”

August 13, 2011

St. Teresa of Avila says:

“Praise be to Jesus.”

“So, my sister, I have come once again to speak to the world about hope. I must, at this time, explain the difference between concern and worry. Concern in the outcome of a situation means a healthy interest in the unfolding of events in the future. Concern trusts in, and hopes for, God’s Provision.”

“Worry, on the other hand, does not trust but fears. Worry presents many unlikely outcomes to situations and does not lean on God’s grace. Worry robs the soul of the present moment.”

October 30, 2011

Blessed John Paul II says:

“Praise be to Jesus.”

“The saints would never have achieved sainthood if they had not desired personal holiness. Not only did they desire holiness, but they burned with the desire to increase in holiness. They were never complacent or self-satisfied in their spiritual journey.”

“The difference today is a relative few nurture this desire in their hearts. When problems arise, they are consumed by the problem. God’s Will is not part of their heart. Many prayers are rendered fruitless for they are offered out of fear and worry instead of trust.”

“The desire for an ever-deepening relationship with God needs to begin with Holy Love, which calls for a surrender of free will. When free will is surrendered to the Divine, God inspires the soul to step away from love of the world, and all its entrapments, to love of God and neighbor. The more he surrenders, the more he desires holiness.”

August 19, 2016

Mary, Refuge of Holy Love says:

“Praise be to Jesus.”

“I tell you, a trustful prayer is the most powerful prayer. A prayer based upon worry is a prayer amidst much distraction. The way to trust is to accept any possible outcome of your prayer petition ahead of time, leaving all consequences to God’s Divine Provision.”

“The Eternal Father knows best your needs and the ramifications of His granting your prayer or choosing a different outcome. He knows which graces to send through My Heart to help you accept His answer. He sees the ways Satan tries to discourage your prayers and He helps you to circumvent every distraction.”

“Pray for holy boldness which gives you the courage to pray for anything and at any time. This holy boldness is the vehicle of many great works and many small victories.”

JESUS

Dear apostles, how strongly you desire holiness. This desire pleases Me and I will bless this desire. I will increase your holiness. There are times when you despair of becoming as holy as you wish. At those times when you are tempted, I would like you to know that I can make you holy in an instant. If you require heroic holiness in a moment, I can give it to you. The Holy Spirit blows where it is both welcomed and needed so if you welcome the Spirit, the Spirit will sanctify you. I, Jesus, lived on earth and in My humanity I understand the struggles that plague you. I understand the frustration you feel when you examine yourself and find that you have work to do in virtue. Dear ones, consider life like a walk. If you are taking a walk on any given day, you walk. You do not sit down on the path and call that action walking. That would be sitting down and that is different from walking. Your spiritual life is meant to be active. If you look at yourself and find that you need to work on holiness, then you are looking at yourself in truth. You are on the path and you are walking and you see that ahead of you the path continues on into the unknown as far as the possibility for your holiness. I, Jesus, am comfortable with this for you. I am not pleased, however, when you move backwards on the path or leave the path altogether. You were meant to serve Me and you were meant to serve Me in this time. Please, do not be distracted. Do not believe that My plan can do without your service. My plan does not require your perfection, My dearest one, but it does require your presence. If you remain with Me during your time on earth, My treasures are transmitted to you. You can then open your heart to others and allow these treasures to be distributed to them. Ask Me for these treasures for others. I will send them to others through you. Have no fear that this prayer will go unanswered. It will not. It will be answered more generously than you can imagine. Draw closer to Me in holiness, dear apostle, so that I can sanctify you and move into the world through you. Do not be afraid of changes. Just as you must always be moving on your path, so the world must always be moving through time. As the world moves through time it changes and it is changing now. You, dearest apostle, are a part of that change.
