Friday Truth in Deep Love🤗❤️🙏
“It is a challenge when you surrender your control to Me, but not a loss to you. You will never be cheated from My love. Your surrendering will only be fruitful and rewarding. The fervor of My love will inspire you to give to Me all the more; to give until there is no more to give and, even then, I shall draw from you! In this grace of prayer, you will discover what truly nourishes your soul. The search becomes the goal, and the longing for My love is sufficient in itself to sustain you. The fruits will become self-evident. The desert flowers bloom when your will no longer exerts energy to control or distract you from attentiveness to My Will.”(From Jesus to Gianna below)
It’s hard to recognize how much strength lies in our humility without deeply contemplating the life, passion, death, and resurrection of Our Lord Jesus Christ. He who submitted Himself, died for us in complete surrender, lives today, 2000 years later through millions of followers who work to keep love alive in His Kingdom and in our hearts that others might live through our prayers and deeds.
I struggle with this kind of submission every day, because “the world” programs us for pride. We even have celebrations of this deadly sin as we attempt to rise from the ashes of oppression, yet that’s exactly the opposite of what Jesus calls us to do.
Why do we think we’re better than Jesus? That we should exercise control over the will of others when He so humbly and willingly gave everything He had so that we could live to serve in love? When we should be keeping ourselves “small,” or “little,” as we look every soul we meet in their eyes and serve them in His Holy Name through the love that He has bestowed upon us that others might also have the desire to live through, with, and in Him? To fully allow Him into the depths of our souls that we no longer care what others think about us, but that they see Him through us, as we die unto ourselves that He might receive all glory.
We all have “bullies” in our lives, but I’ve found that the less we “resist,” the more benign they become, as fighting ego with ego is like trying to fight bullying with more bullying, or racism with more racism, or “pride” with an even greater sense of pride.
There isn’t an hour that goes by that I don’t struggle with this myself in a pretty big way, but every time I get these “waves of pride,” I have to remember, and as my dear and humble Carmelite friend said the other day, to “practice and practice until I get it right.” Not that I’ll ever get it “right,” but the more I keep humility in practice, the closer I will be inclined to come to Him due to my own “fortitude in submission.” And “submission,” ironically does take fortitude, because society simply doesn’t wire us for submission. It programs us to “win” in a temporal sense, but winning in the temporal sense is usually counter to winning in a spiritual sense, which means full submission, and rendering all Glory to God.
I hope and pray that more of us find ways to open ourselves up fully in surrender to Him, for only then can we truly grow closer, and live out our earthly lives in a way that’s all in, and totally His. Love is all that matters, and love through humility is as pure as it gets.❤️🙏

TOTAL SURRENDER
(7/25/92)
My dear one, as I move the graces of your prayer forward, you will notice one day in contemplation that you have progressed in this grace from “knowing” to “loving”. The prayer of My love moves from the mind to the heart. Your imagination will be reduced until you only have the memories to remember. At this point, give praise to Me and know you have been graced with progress in your journey through your commitment and devotion in contemplating Me.
It is a challenge when you surrender your control to Me, but not a loss to you. You will never be cheated from My love. Your surrendering will only be fruitful and rewarding.
The fervor of My love will inspire you to give to Me all the more; to give until there is no more to give and, even then, I shall draw from you! In this grace of prayer, you will discover what truly nourishes your soul. The search becomes the goal, and the longing for My love is sufficient in itself to sustain you. The fruits will become self-evident. The desert flowers bloom when your will no longer exerts energy to control or distract you from attentiveness to My Will.
The battle of the mind will no longer become an interest to you. Hence the desert blooms, because the source of nourishment is from the heavens, which showers and enriches the soil to produce a fruitful season and the best yield of the harvest!
Blessed is he that endures and perseveres until the end.
The struggle of failure and success no longer preoccupies your journey of progression. You are now ready to open up like a flower to receive My merciful love and the compassion of healing graces. Your commitment to Me of your heart in prayer will gather the truth and will surface the self-deception of the heart!
It is the way of My sacredness in fidelity and truth. When you surrender to Me totally, you will be trusting in My love totally because total surrender involves trusting in My love.
You would know of My love and trust in My love and, there-fore, surrender yourself to Me totally.
Only when you trust in Me totally, can you trust others and respect them in dignity in My love. I trusted in My Father because of Our Oneness. Trust in Me in our oneness! Do not be afraid. Know of My love and know you will NEVER be left alone. My Father was ALWAYS WITH ME, even as I suffered the abandonment of your life. Why, then, would I ever leave you alone? I would NOT! I am true to My fidelity to you and I am one with you. That is why I broke Myself for you, that you would never suffer without Me in your brokenness!!
Rest assured of My love. Do not lose sight of My love through the fallacies of the self-controlling desires of the will and mind. Surrender unto Love against all self-comprehension, and you will bear fruitful virtues of life. Peace. Ad Deum.

Thursday Truth in Deep Love🤗❤️🙏
“See Me, your Jesus, as your aide, your life-giving Source.
Put aside your temptations of falsehood and sweet enticements of the world, and come to bask in My love. Be at peace. Let My love be the catalyst for your enthusiasm. Let Me be your teacher. Love Me with all the affection of your heart.”(From Jesus to Gianna below)
“Jesus, I adore you.
In you I hope.
In you I trust.
In you I have faith.
For it is in you all things are possible.
You are Our Living God.”
(From Our Lady to Gianna below)
Jesus will guide us, but unless we surrender, and humble ourselves fully before Him, we are only fooling ourselves. I only know this because I “fool” myself quite often, like at least 100 times per day, and the reason I fool myself often is that I don’t fully trust in His Plan. I mean, I do trust in His Plan on a “macro level,” the “eternity part,” but the literal “devil” resides in the details as we navigate the trials and tribulations of this world. The greatest indicator if this to me is my own desire to render justice unto others that is only God’s to render.
We spend our earthly existence trying to fight “the bully,” and there are many bullies out there in sheep’s clothing waiting to pounce, yet Jesus, in the ultimate act of humility, demonstrated that the only way to bring Glory to The Father is to die unto ourselves, for only by dying unto ourselves can we resurrect into what He truly needs for us to be, which is a servant, or what I like to call a “custodian.” A bearer of His Truth, His Humility, and first and foremost, His Love.
You can’t fight hate with hate, just like you can’t fight racism with more racism. You can’t fight injustice with another brand of injustice, which so many of us are apt to try to do, and it’s really bad when we try to render said justice as a collective, and end up creating false narratives that carry large groups into an abyss of hatred. One doesn’t have to look very far to see that this is true, yet, we still hate. 60 seconds of the tabloid “news” that people follow is a pretty good indicator of that.
Our world needs a “cure,” and Jesus has shown us that the only cure is through love and submission, and to submit, and to fully love, requires deep prayer. Prayer upon awakening, prayer before we eat, prayer before we take on any task, and prayer before we encounter others, that we might truly reflect His Light and His Love as we walk each other through this turbulent world. God is here for every one of us, but only through total submission can His “will be done.” Only by allowing Him to live and work through us, with us, and in us can we fully bring His Light to the world as He has called us to do.
To keep our rosaries available this we might immerse ourselves on His birth, life, death and resurrection, and allow Him to penetrate our souls that we might walk with Him in all encounters, and to see other souls as He sees them, and to love them as He does, and to allow all “justice” to be rendered unto and by Him.
They say that we need to “let go, and let God,” and if we want our souls to remain in a state of being that’s “all in, and totally His,” we have to prepare ourselves to surrender fully, for He is The Way, The Truth, and The Life.
I pray that we find our way to allowing Him in, for only through love, can we walk in His Truth.❤️🙏

STEPS TO PRAYER
(7/24/92)
My dear one, I want My people to be in My presence of love through an openness. There are many steps the beginner can take in prayer.
My people need to take the laboring steps of coming in devotion and commitment of receiving My presence of love, even if they feel nothing! It is painful in the knowledge of yourself to commit in discipline to this love of Me. But those who endure to the end shall receive the flowing water to tend their garden with ease, so that I may come to dwell in it!
See Me, your Jesus, as your aide, your life-giving Source.
Put aside your temptations of falsehood and sweet enticements of the world, and come to bask in My love. Be at peace. Let My love be the catalyst for your enthusiasm. Let Me be your teacher. Love Me with all the affection of your heart.
Do not allow the glory of the world to entice you away from Me. Pray for wisdom and allow Me to ward off the errors of falsehood which could dismay you and be a disadvantage to you. Allow Me to prevent all carelessness from affecting your progress. Be alert to these bothersome “sweet” deceptions. Pray and be strong through perseverance, that your spirit of love is not broken with deceiving desires and invalid arguments.
I love you and am teaching you through the Spirit to love Me unconditionally and to give to Me your total being, so that you may reap the harvest and be with Me in My everlasting love.
When you experience these temptations, pay no attention to them. Push them aside and pray the prayer I taught you through My Mother. **(Prayer noted at end.) Know that I am your source of consolation and happiness, yet this consolation may not be as immediate as you desire! Everything must take time. Your soul needs this time of My love.
Do not be impatient, but go at My pace, moment to moment. Do not worry about tomorrow, or the outcomes of events to happen. Do not exert your energy analyzing or discerning what needs to be the course of your life. Trust in Me, and I will care for you. I TRULY MEAN “TRUST.” You say, ‘Yes, I can trust, but God helps those who help themselves!’ I say “Surrender and trust Me!’ You are assembling an agenda you think is better than trusting, and are fearful to allow Me to care for you because it may not fit the dictates of your command.
Oh, you of little faith! If you would surrender unto Me and be in My peaceful love, tending to Me, the fruits of your life would never put you in a situation where you need to discern or take a course of action to help yourself, because I would be paving the course of your safety and happiness for you!! But you are afraid because of the changes you anticipate (which may not even happen) with which I would strike you!
If you knew Me, you would know not fear but only love, My love. My sheep know Me. You are lost, and I will find you! You are running away in deception, but I will not leave without you! I am the Shepherd Who will not go forward, even if one lost lamb is astray. Remember, I have chosen you.
You have not chosen Me!
Put aside your fears and temptations, and be at peace with the gentleness and loving caress of My touch. Peace, My lovers. Peace!
**Prayer Our Lady taught Gianna:
“Jesus, I adore you.
In you I hope.
In you I trust.
In you I have faith.
For it is in you all things are possible.
You are Our Living God.”

Wednesday Truth in Deep Love🤗❤️🙏
“Today you live amongst people who have little trust in their God. They are questioning the faith of the existence of God. If I grant revelations, visions or prophecy to one, the other closes his ears to knowledge in resentment and lack of acceptance. People place restrictions on their God: what Yahweh would say, act or do in others. My visionaries, prophets, saints, martyrs of today go unnoticed. My people refuse to heed the words spoken from their lips proclaiming My words of light.”(From Jesus to Gianna below)
It’s sad to see so many people, even priests, and lukewarm regular church-goers who speak God’s name, and claim to represent Him, but really have little faith in the truth of His existence. There tends to be way more reliance on the words of Fox, CNN, or a “favored politician” than there is in His Word, and this becomes more than clear in what gets recited from the pulpit, or becomes “church policy,” as churches are all over the place when it comes to policy.” Some are more worldly than others, some are more Godly than others. I’m seeing new hope in my own church as this goes, and it instills that same hope in me, leaving me pretty optimistic.
How do we walk in The Way, The Truth, and The Life, if we’re instead living in the fear that’s exacerbated by our “policy makers” and our media? How do we allow Him to be the safety net we need to extract us from the things of this world that we might wholeheartedly represent His Kingdom as He calls us to do? How do we stand before the Pilates of this world and proclaim as He did that His Kingdom is not of this world, and “back it up” through our actions?
A very wise and holy friend just said to me yesterday “we just need to practice, and practice, and practice until it becomes second nature.” To extract ourselves from the things of this world in humility, and immerse ourselves in prayer, service, and love as we walk each other through the “mess” that lies before us.
Like in the story of the “loaves and the fishes,” Jesus , living in us, has the power to take “little things,” and grow them into something big and significant, if we but only submit every aspect of our consciousness to His Will. To allow Him to work through us and in us, and for Him to allow us to see people and situations as He sees them, and if we’re on the right path, we will feel the deep love flowing through us, as the fear that surrounds us dissipates into “the abyss.” To take the bread that He gives us out into the world and to transform it into new life in others through Him, as we carry His Word forth, thereby growing His Kingdom.
But mostly we have to truly believe ourselves, and to not be afraid to demonstrate to others that we are in fact, “all in, and totally His,” as He will always have our backs as long as we have His. And sometimes even when we don’t. Or at least don’t think we do.
As John tells us in the meme below,(6:35) Jesus is the bread of life. Whoever comes to Him will never be hungry or thirsty.” Jesus’ bread is infinite and never ending, so we never have to worry about “running out.” We merely need to remember to rest in Him, pray, and allow Him to fill us that we might fill others as is demonstrated in Holy Communion via the sacrifice of The Mass. To keep our hearts, minds, bodies and souls immersed in Him, as we “walk each other Home.” It’s all in the love.❤️🙏

LIFE’S JOURNEY
(7/23/92)
My dear one, it is time to take down My words for My people, words of love and encouragement. My people will not be able to understand the full depth of My words I have spoken in My lessons; but, as they continue to read and study them, they will recurrently see how each word and phrase is designed and formed with great love in order to assist them in their journey.
The journey of life that you live is only the beginning of a long and fruitful journey of happiness. At times you feel that your journey is one of little meaning; or you feel lost, abandoned, or struggle with the meaning of your own life’s journey. This is all orchestrated only to bring you closer to Me! All you do is not within your own power to acquire. (I am speaking of the many who attain their goals in belief that it was granted to them on behalf of their own merit!) Those who love Me achieve as is best for their soul.
Today you live amongst people who have little trust in their God. They are questioning the faith of the existence of God. If I grant revelations, visions or prophecy to one, the other closes his ears to knowledge in resentment and lack of acceptance. People place restrictions on their God: what Yahweh would say, act or do in others. My visionaries, prophets, saints, martyrs of today go unnoticed. My people refuse to heed the words spoken from their lips proclaiming My words of light.
My teachings do not cease. I am a teaching God, and My love endures forever. I do not change, and I journey with you.
Do not struggle, then, when aridity and the thirst for Me is not fulfilled. I am bringing you to life’s springs and endless gardens. The journey is continuous, but I continue to lead you through the darkness and confusion. I am with you, right by your side, and many times supporting you when you are weary.
This journey of your life is really not long compared to the journey of the glory to come! Therefore, I encourage you to continue on with Me, even though you are confused, lonely, alone, feeling abandonment, and are not acknowledged by others. I control all; and when it is My desire for all to know what should be revealed to them, it will be unveiled!
Exert your energy on Me, and put aside all worried feelings of anxiety. Allow Me to purify you from the tendencies you have to seek control of My love. Do not seek consolation, but seek Me, your Yahweh of consolations!
I love you and want your love freely, without contingencies or controls. It is a long journey of life I take with you, depending on your patience and your true desire to embrace the good fruits of this journey. Then, as you surrender totally, daily, you experience a true romance relationship, one fulfilling your life. Therefore, do not be frustrated. One day you are giving; the next day you are not. I do not get discouraged with you, but I test the willingness of the spirit and I teach you that what you acquire is not what you merited by your control, but by My love!! Peace. Ad Deum.

Tuesday Truth in Deep Love🤗❤️🙏
“I have not left you, but I am here teaching you inwardly, procuring a place of purity in which to rest My head. Tend to Me, My people! Come to My sweet abyss of love. Seek Me with the burning fire within your heart and never cease until you are found!!”(From Jesus to Gianna below)
Opening up fully to Jesus takes a level of humility that often eludes me. More than often, really. There probably isn’t a waking hour that goes by where I don’t have thoughts of “putting someone in their place,” when putting someone “in their place” is far from anything Jesus asks of us.
I pray about this, but I probably dwell on it more than I pray about it, so maybe that’s the whole “problem.” Suspending my own ego enough to let Him in to the point where I can fully forgive and let go. There are “bullies” out there who hurt others intentionally, and it’s hard to not want to approach such people from the place where they are, but does Jesus not call us to “rise above all of that?”
Our pastor, Father Matt, gave a homily this past week about “prostration.” That means “lying flat on one’s face, or to bow low and touch one’s face to the ground.” It said to be the “ultimate gesture of submission and worship.”
I’ve done this before, but never as a routine as I know many saints have done, but maybe it’s time to give this type of prayer some consideration, because my current daily routines aren’t getting me there.
Fortunately, I do have humble mentors out there, whether they know they’re mentors or not, who do lead by example in ways that I’m not quite “ready” to do, but hopefully writing this will “trigger” the ambition in me to seek that level of humility. To “prostrate myself” before Him, that I can forgive, and let Him judge as only He is fit to judge. To allow Him deeply enough into my soul that I can fully “practice what I preach,” as I try to walk with others in peaceful harmony.
I don’t know if this will happen today, tomorrow, or the next day, but it’s something I want to plant in my head and to maintain an awareness and consciousness of, that I might attain self improvement in “little ways,” as the humblest of saints have taught us to do. To rest in His Love and become confident enough in Him, that I might remain “all in, and totally His” like I claim to every day. We’re all “works in progress,” and likely will be, until the day we leave this earth. Please pray for me, and I will pray for you. That we all might reach a level of humility that draws many to Him, for He will in fact guide us Home, for He is The Way, The Truth, and The Life, and there will never be a more perfect place to rest, than fully and totally in Him. It’s all in the love we share. Through, with, and in Him.❤️🙏

SEEK ME
(1992, No date given)
My dear one, the fire of My love flames within those souls
who seek Me. The indefinable love, which teaches and inspires interiorly, becomes the love which speaks outwardly.
When you sit quietly and contemplate My words of love, your soul is suspended high into the abyss of love. You then dive into the core of Mercy’s dwelling, the core of My heart, also the core where My wounds exist. The area of pain and sorrow is also the area of joy and love. Happy they who dwell in the house of the Lord where the Merciful Heart is exposed for all man’s salvation!
Bless your wounds by dressing Mine with your love. Be graced with My affection, and persevere to seek the truth of My love. Rest, persevere, and you will obtain your dream of love Whom you cannot find.
I have not left you, but I am here teaching you inwardly, procuring a place of purity in which to rest My head. Tend to Me, My people! Come to My sweet abyss of love. Seek Me with the burning fire within your heart and never cease until you are found!!
How many of My people are afraid to seek Me, and they grow fearful. All that is necessary is a humble, honest heart, willing to receive My love as a brother, sister, spouse or child.
My dear people, do not give up hope! As long as you are of mortal body, you will feel heaviness of the heart. You will not always continue in a fervent desire of virtue, but do not give up hope. Continue to persevere and seek Me. Bear, with patience, this abandonment and aridity until you are graced with a deliverance from your anguish. It is good, at moments such as these, to humble yourself to exterior actions, doing good works and persevere for the glory to come. Not all can maintain a grace of spiritual ecstasy!
Contemplate how your sufferings now are minor, compared to the glory which is to come for you. In this light, you will be able to persevere, seek and love Me with the burning grace of My love. This is the ultimate peace and union of oneness to obtain. Be always searching the truth and adore Me in a Eucharistic silence.
My love is burning for you, and My sufferings of love for you will never cease until the glory of your happiness is united in the glory of the Triune God. Peace and blessings of the Father of Truth and Mercy. Ad Deum.

Sunday Truth in Deep Love🤗❤️🙏
“Lose your life for My sake and you shall find it. I am speaking of your human, mortal life AWAY from Me. Succeed in Me! Be last and you shall be first. This is an INTENTIONAL failure, seeking and following My Way. Not having is the way to receive Eternal Life’s success! Your culture today does not permit for this kind of behavior. Thus I tell you, what is impossible with humans is possible through Me. For I am the Way, and I am Happiness, and I am Success! Do not see Me as an instrument of your happiness, but see Me as the intrinsic way of life that you seek for your own sake.”(From Jesus to Gianna below)
“The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.” Psalm 23
God doesn’t put us on this earth to make money and to win trophies and prizes. He does put us through trials and tribulations that we might humble ourselves, drop our egos, and hopefully find our way to becoming helpers. Ironically, success on “this earth” tends to be measured in how much we can “get.” “Whoever dies with the most toys wins.” But success in God’s Kingdom has way more to do with what we give than what we “get.”
God has a place and a plan for every one of us, but it’s going to be difficult to follow if our head is in the wrong game. Pursuing the very things of this world rather than “giving back,” and rendering all Glory unto Him. The things of this world die when we do, but what we render unto Him brings good to all things for all eternity, and that’s a beautiful thing.
We tend to get wrapped up in “financial struggles,” and temporary things that are real in the moment, but hold not one bit of value in the eternal sense, yet God totally has our back in the eternal sense through what we do render unto Him. Faith, hope, love and charity go a long way to keeping our hearts, souls, and minds fully in Him as we navigate the waters of pride and greed, but service in humility is the only way to eternal success, and that, we not only get to take with us when we die, but the effects of that service remain here long after we die.
Our “miracles” lie not in our luxuries, but in our humility, and God will remain in us, and with us if we but give our lives to Him as He gave our lives, as well as His own, to us. It’s way more than a trade off, and our eternity depends upon whom we follow.
God has our backs if we but remain in Him, through prayer, service and deep love, and if we keep our focus on Him, He will truly lead us on the path to heaven, where we are guaranteed an eternity that’s all in, and totally His. It’s the only “life” that matters in the end. May it be a life of love. His Truth, in deep love. Your soul is precious to Him. May the love we render unto Him bring us an eternity of peace, as we walk each other Home. It will change our lives, and we will be more than glad at the end of this life that we lived this way, for His love is perfection. It’s all that matters.❤️🙏

SUCCESS
(7/20/92)
My dear one, today I would like My people to know how
I desire intimate happiness to be their way of life! I do not wish My people to seek emptiness or failure. I wish for them to be happy and at peace. Do not lose your sense of self.
Use the talents and gifts given to you. Invest in a success that is of God, instead of investing in a worship of success through various means enmeshed in performance!
Lose your life for My sake and you shall find it. I am speaking of your human, mortal life AWAY from Me. Succeed in Me! Be last and you shall be first. This is an INTENTIONAL failure, seeking and following My Way. Not having is the way to receive Eternal Life’s success! Your culture today does not permit for this kind of behavior. Thus I tell you, what is impossible with humans is possible through Me. For I am the Way, and I am Happiness, and I am Success! Do not see Me as an instrument of your happiness, but see Me as the intrinsic way of life that you seek for your own sake.
You are like fine cloth woven in My love! I ask you not to immunize yourself against your own failings. See it as a growth in My love and a growth in your humility to exemplify My love in purity.
I love you so and hope you will see that My desire for you is happiness. I am happy when you are happy! I want you to never lose sight of the truth. I ask My Father’s protection on you because of your innocence. Do not lose sight of the truth or allow the evil one to pollute your visual clarity. Stay close to Me, at all costs, through your faith. Believe in me, and failure will not exist because you will believe in yourself. treat yourself as if you are Me because I am in you!! Be kind to yourself, and you will be kind to Me. Love yourself tenderly, even through your failures, and you will love Me. Seek to serve others and you will be serving Me.
Love yourself purely, but do not deceive yourself and take pride or boast in yourself. Boast in God and, if you live in Me, you will live humble ways and boast in the pure of heart and tend to My lowly. Peace to you.
