On Devotion❤️🙏
“If you seek acceptance and weigh the importance of spiri-
tuality based on the standards of mankind and its vanity, your
judgment will be hard because your judgment will be the one
you make against yourself. If you seek acceptance of Me and
are devoted to Me with all the painstaking steps I lead you
through now for purification, you will see that My path is not
rocky or narrow, but is a royal thoroughfare of love leading
to eternal freedom.”(From Gianna below)
It seems as we humans immerse ourselves in worldly things, our concept of God becomes more ”worldly,” and the world becomes less Godly. We’re like the frog in slowly boiling water who doesn’t realize it’s boiling until it’s too late. We’ve taken “God’s day of rest,” and opened it up to commerce and organized sports, instead of devoting it to Him. We’ve reduced our standards to a place where promiscuity is more protected than life. The time that was once spent devoted to God is now spent arguing over which propaganda source calling itself “news” tells “the truth,” when they all have an agenda that is far from God’s will. We’ve made government and money into our god, and act like these things will save us from ourselves. History, Biblical and otherwise show us what happens when we fall from His will, yet somehow we think things will be “different this time.” That what we allow in the world will be acceptable to Him, even though our adopted standards tend to dismiss His will completely. I can tell you for certain that God is real, God is now and forever, and He loves us deeply in spite of our flaws and reluctance to live in His will, but unless we move into His will, the truth that will hit us when He decides it’s time, will be devastating. I pray that we reflect deeply on all of these words now. Today. He is here, He is now, and He is ready for our complete and perfect devotion. He will bring us through in His perfect light, but we have to do our part, which means living in His Kingdom, instead of that created by Man. It’s here for us. We just have to open up and let Him in. Ask what He wants of us, and make it happen. In perfect love. Totus Tuus.(Totally Yours)❤️🙏

Devotion
“My dear one, man places importance on spiritual things
according to the standards of the world. My people
believe that their wisdom comes from the length of time they
have been practicing prayer. They imagine that graces will be-
get to them because they impose a value on their prayer which
they feel they deserve – immeasurable gifts depending on the
length of time they have been praying. Do they not know that
I can do in someone in a matter of a short time what would
normally take another years of prayer to achieve?
I am asking for devotion and commitment to prayer through
the love of your heart, not through spiritual vanity. Pray for
spiritual emptiness so that true devotion to Me can exist! Many
practice their devotion when they feel spiritually comforted.
This is spiritual vanity, placing value on yourself, imposed on
you by you!! How few there are who are devoted to me in
emptiness because few people risk the trouble to themselves to
follow Me, and grow through the aches and pains of darkness
where My truth of purification and cleansing lies.
I come to My people in two ways: one in the form of
comfort, the other in trials. I deem fit what is merited for
them. I rebuke their vanity and vices, or I exhort and comfort
them with virtue. Be devoted to Me in all times of blessings
or inner turmoils. Do not weigh importance of your own
spirituality by the length of time you have practiced prayer,
or what accomplishments you have achieved for others. I tell
you to be devoted to Me and seek MY acceptance, not the ac-
ceptance created by the standards of mankind. I tell you this
because the day is coming when the Son of Man will give
you a warning of the bitterness of chastisement, where each
man and woman across the world will see the judgment of
themselves.
If you seek acceptance and weigh the importance of spiri-
tuality based on the standards of mankind and its vanity, your
judgment will be hard because your judgment will be the one
you make against yourself. If you seek acceptance of Me and
are devoted to Me with all the painstaking steps I lead you
through now for purification, you will see that My path is not
rocky or narrow, but is a royal thoroughfare of love leading
to eternal freedom. Your judgment can be peaceful because
of the love of yourself and for others THROUGH, BY AND
BECAUSE OF ME.
The day is coming, and it is coming soon, when the
Chastisement set forth from my Father cannot be escaped,
but can be mitigated through prayer of devotion for Me.
Begin Now. Love yourself now. Be free now. Do not wait or
it will be too late.
Man needs time to change, die to the self made shame-
ful through the lack of dignity and a burdened society, and
be free. Place little expectations on yourselves, so that your
expectations of others shall diminish to extinction.
Write My Words on your heart and diligently contemplate
them. Man is cheated of his hopes, but My words are words
of truth and everlasting life. They shall never deceive you.
Have confidence in Me.
Remember your former ways and poverty when you were
far from Me? Always fear God and love. Be devoted to Me.
Do not imagine you can impose something on My Father
because of your perception of what you think you deserve!
Focus on Me and love yourselves and one another in My
Name.
I bless you, and My peace I bring through My Divine
Mercy. Ad Deum.”
