“Accept everything with joy and allow My love to guide
you. I will guide you to perfection. Avoid sin and that which
distracts you from prayer and love! First and foremost, seek
God. If something leads you from prayer, or does not fit in
your prayer life, then do not seek after it. I direct you through
every part of your being, and you must use the grace of your
senses (as I direct) to keep your body in the grace of God’s
working.”(From Gianna below)
Worldly distractions; gossip, money, issues with our kids or elderly parents, toxic work environments, propaganda posing as news, angry people who think they can “fix” everything from a place outside of God’s will. Things of the ego. All of these and more hit us in the face every day, causing us worry, pain, distraction, and ultimately sin if we fail to manage ourselves in a way that reflects the Love God has for us. There is nothing in the list above that I haven’t succumbed to in some fashion, but once we begin to see through these things, and realize the evil inherent therein, God will guide us to a place where we can softly reject them when they’re thrust upon us that allows us to share His love in a better way. A way that allows us to see ourselves and others as He sees us, and to show them the light that He has filled us with that they will want to be filled with it too.
The way of daily prayer isn’t easy to come by. Especially if we have full daily schedules that we allow to overwhelm us. There’s a book I’m sure many have read called “The Seven Habits of Highly Successful People,” and the habit that tends to resonate with me most reads “Sharpen the Saw.” As a tradesman, the importance of this habit becomes clear, as when our tools are working properly, we can get more done faster. The same thing works in the spiritual sense. If we take the time to pray deeply, to “sharpen our saw,” we will be much better equipped to handle personal interactions in a way that not only glorifies Him, but helps to keep His Kingdom in the light for all to witness and embrace. Every single one of us is called to this. I pray that we all take time in our day, to reflect, to sharpen, to allow His light to flow in us that we can bring it to others as we walk through this life as He would have us do. In perfect love. Totus Tuus.❤️🙏

In God’s Hands
“My dear one, My people are seeking ways to belong to
God, but there is really only one way. Utilize that which
He gives to you, and everything will lead you to live in union
with the Trinity. Everything is in the hand of My Father, and
all will be well with you if you trust in Him.
Accept everything with joy and allow My love to guide
you. I will guide you to perfection. Avoid sin and that which
distracts you from prayer and love! First and foremost, seek
God. If something leads you from prayer, or does not fit in
your prayer life, then do not seek after it. I direct you through
every part of your being, and you must use the grace of your
senses (as I direct) to keep your body in the grace of God’s
working.
Leave everything in the hands of God and be at peace.
Value that which I offer to you. If you abandon yourselves
to My will, I will help you, even if you feel you have lost My
support! Acknowledge that you cannot be holy through your
own efforts!!
My dear people, I speak of love, as I continue to love you
and embrace your being. I can turn your darkness into light
at a moment’s notice. Follow through in trusting and living
in faith. You may have visions or revelations or interior
voices, but beneath lies perfection of faith which is to be
shared with all. Their faith contains these graces, since all who
know Me, live in Me and in everything. All graces and virtues
are revealed in order to be inspirational to others.
Look to your day and the events with which you are faced.
Seek My Will by living simply, focusing on loving and trusting
that all is in God’s hands. I am truly guiding you if you trust
that I am. This is self-abandonment to the Providence of God.
All will be well by your trust and efforts to be self-giving in
love. There is no need to chase after the things you think are
necessarily beyond your reach. That which is My Will be
within reach, and doors to the path will be opened for you to
walk through.
Be at peace and live, as you are in your love, in Me. Ad
Deum.”
