“Absorb the presence of the joy He gives to the creatures of the earth, which you have inherited until you claim your inheritance of heaven. Safe and sound are the good fruits of the land God preserves for you. Rejoice in Him! Never cease rejoicing, for He gives even in your sinfulness.”(From Gianna below)
How often do we take the time out of our busy lives to go to a quiet place to give our hearts and souls solely to Him? To allow the calm and quiet of His design to fill our spirit and lift our hearts so that we can overcome the noise of the world? Our lives become so mired in the constructs of the world; news and tv, cars, trucks and planes, that distract us and keep us from listening to Him in all of the peaceful bounty He has given us. I find that if I take that time, if just an hour, I can leave the world and it’s distractions with Him, and bring His light back into the world as He would have us do. To allow Him to penetrate us in a way that allows us to reflect His light to others in the truth of His everlasting glory as we walk each other home. In perfect love. Totus Tuus.❤️🙏
As told to Gianna Talone Sullivan, July 7, 1992, I am your Jesus of Mercy Vol IV, Inside the cave grotto of St Ruffino, Assisi.
Praise the Father
“My dear child, here is My place of refuge. The choir of
birds chant their love songs to God. My Francis relied
upon My Ruffino, for he had the grace of true contempla-
tion and joy. Here, now, you pray and take My words for My
people.
Sing to God the Father, My beloved people, love chants and
praises. Absorb the presence of the joy He gives to the crea-
tures of the earth, which you have inherited until you claim
your inheritance of heaven. Safe and sound are the good fruits
of the land God preserves for you. Rejoice in Him! Never
cease rejoicing, for He gives even in your sinfulness.
Seek the quiet intimacy of truth and joy through contem-
plation and prayer of thanksgiving to your Father. He is good,
as I am good because of Him. Because of Him, I am! Those
who live in truth of the Word, in love of Him, need never fear
because they are forever safe in Him. Through His Name
alone they claim safety.
Rejoice. Rejoice. Rejoice.
Peace lives in the truth of His Word; Peace lives in Him.
He is the Word. I am the Word because of Him Who sent Me.
Blessed be My Father. Blessed be the Gloria of songs. Blessed
be My Spirit, the Holy Spirit given to you because of Me. I
AM because of My Father. Therefore, blessed be My Father
THROUGH WHOM ALL GOOD THINGS COME. Blessed
be this earth He has created!!
All who claim His Name live in His righteousness and are
good, for nothing can exist in goodness unless He is of God.
The evil may seem good at first, but the truth shall always
come to light. I give you My peace interiorly, even though,
amongst the world you live, there are those who do not desire
peace.
My Father is peace, and He has given Me to you. Be
not afraid, but take courage and know that I AM ALIVE. I
DWELL AMONGST YOU.
Praise, praise, praise be My Father. I suffered death only
to conquer the world in order that you may have life. Praise
to Him, for I have risen! You shall never have to suffer the
depth I have because of My Father! Praise Him that you have
Me and your life hereafter. He is Good, and you are blessed
to know Him. Peace.”

PRAYER OF JOY (Given by St. Ruffino)
ST. RUFFINO THEN TALKED TO ME INSIDE
THE CAVE. HE TAUGHT ME THIS PRAYER.
“LORD, OH MY LORD. I AM A WRETCHED SINNER
PLEADING FOR YOUR MERCY
ON THIS POOR SOUL.
GRANT THAT I MAY SEE AND LIVE
FREELY YOUR JOY NOW AND FOREVER.
HAVE MERCY ON ME.
I DO NOT DESERVE JOY OF YOU,
BUT IF YOU SEE THIS POOR SINNER
AS YOUR JOY IN YOUR MERCY,
I CAN LIVE IN UNION WITH YOU IN JOY.
BLESSED BE GOD,
FOR HE SHALL HAVE MERCY
ON THOSE WHO SEEK HIM PURELY.
STRIP ME OF MY UGLINESS.
RENEW ME IN YOUR HOLINESS.
COME, MY LORD, COME.
OH COME TO THIS POOR WRETCHED SINNER.
MAY ALL THE WORLD KNOW OF MY WRETCH-
EDNESS
SO I MAY EXPERIENCE AND LIVE
IN YOUR JOY FOREVER.
COME, OH GRACE OF JOY.
COME, YOUR SPOUSE AWAITS YOU.
NOT SHALL THESE LIPS REJOICE
UNTIL MY JOY, MY SAVIOR ENLIGHTENS ME
BY BREATHING HIS JOY UPON ME.
PRAISE BE TO GOD. AMEN. AMEN”
