Sunday Truth in Deep Love🤗❤️🙏
“Tame this vice of pride now! I am not only speaking to you, but to all My people. You are no different than they are. The human vices need to be tamed. How shrewd the subconscious to deceive you to experience self-pity and need for acceptance and praise of your graces! Put aside these harmful thoughts and continue to simply live quietly in My love.”(From Jesus to Gianna below)
Jesus didn’t die and resurrect so that we could celebrate “pride.” Im not saying this to “bash gay people,” or any other oppressed factions, as they(you) do often face trials that the rest of us fall short of understanding. He took death upon Himself that we might also learn to humble ourselves, that when we do fall, we might resurrect in a state of humility that gives all Glory to.God the Father just as He did.
I might be the person typing this, but it’s a lesson I need myself as much as anyone, as there are some serious “bullies” in my world who wreak much havoc, and I feel like they should be “tamed” for the betterment of all those around them. The desire for confrontation is real, and often occupies my consciousness in a way that almost feels demonic. The desire for “justice,” and to condemn others for our own self satisfaction when we witness hubristic unfairness in and towards the people in our lives. Especially those we love.
How do we suspend or egos that we might encounter the “bully” from a place of humility and love as Jesus did? How do we truly fall at the “foot of the cross,” and retain our humility in the face of gross injustice? How do we love someone when every aspect of our being wants to “slap them silly?”
I don’t have a solid answer or answers to this, but I do know that if I pray about it, and pray a lot, God usually finds a way to humble me that I might approach each situation from a place of humility and kindness that overrides my more “barbaric” instincts. The “instincts” that bestow upon me a sense of “pride,” and judgment that isn’t mine, but is only God’s to render.
We have to remember that Jesus died for every one of us, especially and including “the bully.” And if we keep our hearts and souls deeply in prayer, and ask for illumination of our own soul that we might see ourselves from a more humble place, we might have a more fruitful encounter that lets the “bully” know His love as well. I think most of us do have a “bully” in us that we need to recognize, and God does tend to have ways of showing us that bully if we remain open to Him, and open to the growth He has in His plan for us. We are, and will be “works in progress” until the day we leave this earth. I pray that we can all keep ourselves in a place of alignment and atonement with His Will as we go forth in love, that every soul we encounter might find their way to living a life that’s all in, and totally His. Love will always be the answer, and will prevail, if we but stay the course.❤️🙏

GROWTH
(7/27/92)
My dear one, because you do not see your interior growth
being relayed to your exterior actions, does not mean that other people do not see your growth. It is the same, not only for you, but all My people. Remember, you are blind to many things of yourself, and what I do outwardly through you may not be noticed according to either your understanding or expectations. This, however, does not mean that My works through you go unnoticed.
When you grow slowly, it is difficult to see the change at once. Also, this is for your humility. The vices of the flesh need taming; and the worst vice, that of pride, is the most poisonous and the most difficult to tame! It is not as important for you to see the change as it is for you to be open, to be a vessel of love!
“When you are in the forest, it is hard to see the trees.” It is the same with spiritual growth. My people should not focus on where they are in their journey because selfish vanity can develop. They should, rather, seek the journey lived by My Saints as a guide to assist them in identifying the path.
Why is it so necessary for you to know the great works I do through you? When you are totally empty is when you shall know; but by that point, you will not desire to know.
Tame this vice of pride now! I am not only speaking to you, but to all My people. You are no different than they are. The human vices need to be tamed. How shrewd the subconscious to deceive you to experience self-pity and need for acceptance and praise of your graces! Put aside these harmful thoughts and continue to simply live quietly in My love.
There is nothing you could say that I could not say without you! There is nothing you could do that I could not do without you. I molded you. I gave you the words to speak. I gave you the gift of knowledge. I gave you the strength and wisdom to succeed. So, as you receive, give back to me what is mine.
But also remember My love for you, and that I need you because I came for you! I was broken for you, and so much desire your happiness and love. So, see My teachings, not as a reprimand, but as encouragement to face your vices and to surrender even more unto Me, that I may clean you and make you pure of your human vices of the flesh. I will replace them with the spiritual virtues of heaven.
I regret to have exposed you, child, to your own inadequate vices for the sake of My people, but My people shall come first, and you shall be last. For I will NOT let one of My lambs be lost. The gems of My heart shall shine, and each, in their own beauty and rarity, have a priceless value!

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.
