Growth

Thursday Truth in Deep Love🤗❤️🙏

“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!”(From Jesus to Gianna below)

How often does pride rear its ugly head in our communications with others? Even with those closest to us, our family and friends or co-workers, we fall into the old trap of “listening to respond,” as opposed to listening out of true empathy. Our ego needs to feel significant and we make another person’s story about us, as opposed to understanding what’s happening with the person to whom we should be listening. I’m not optimistic when I witness elderly couples bickering, as many do, but as we grow with others, I believe it does truly behoove us to maintain an awareness of our pride going forward in life so that we might be the ones to break the cycle and to truly nurture those around us in a way that keeps all of us in God’s Divine Light. Considering how often we do fail at communicating, especially in marriage, I think it helps us to maintain awareness and self improvement challenges going forward if we constantly remind ourselves to open up and to just listen. Listen, and remember that we don’t have to solve the challenge before us in the next 60 seconds, and that a pause in our response will make for a better response because we’ve actually made time to consider a situation from all facets. To truly grow with and understand each other isn’t for the faint of heart, and it does take work. The world’s divorce rate should give us a clear indication as to how often we fail to just listen. To suspend our ego in a way that gives others a safe place to truly open their souls and to allow love to flow through their being. We’re all capable of this, but pride is a strong force, and until we learn to manage that force and bring humility to the table, our personal and spiritual maturity have no choice but to remain stunted. A friend once told me that “ego=Edging God Out.” If we take time to reflect on Jesus’s ministry from His humble beginning to His passion and death, we will hopefully come to some semblance of realization as we remember that “pride does goeth before a fall,” and that it is the deadliest of sins. Jesus never displayed pride, and neither should we. Pride is never of God, and I pray that we all open ourselves up to humility as Jesus did, and follow Him on the path to holiness, that we might remain all in, and totally His.❤️🙏

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!

Total Surrender

Monday 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, shall draw from you! In this grace of prayer, you will discover what truly nourishes your soul.”(From Jesus to Gianna below)

Jesus sets a pretty high bar as far as “surrender” goes. Every crucifix and cross should remind us of this as we contemplate His total surrender to The Father for our sake. To remember that a life of service to Him will always be sequences of death, resurrection, and rebirth as we grow and submit to Him, and open ourselves up to being used for His Glory.
Considering how most of the early apostles were martyred, it doesn’t take a whole lot of stretching of the imagination to realize the level to which they were “all in, and totally His,” as they gave everything just as He did. Fortunately, surrender for most of us in this life will likely only look like giving of ourselves, doing good deeds, and setting good moral examples for others to follow, but we may find a time when Jesus calls upon us to do more for His Kingdom as He has done for us. How willing are we to open ourselves up to that? To trust Him enough to surrender everything including our lives if called upon to do so? To carry the mantra “Jesus, I trust in you,” as we traverse the murky social waters in which we are cast, setting firm foundations in His Kingdom for others to follow. “Letting go, and letting God,” as the saying goes, that all might live in Him. For He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. May our response to Him always be a resounding “yes.” It’s an easy answer, and it’s the only way.❤️🙏

TOTAL SURRENDER
(7/25/92)
My dear one, as l 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, 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, therefore, 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.

Steps to Prayer

Sunday Truth in Deep Love🤗❤️🙏

“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!” (From Jesus to Gianna below)

Jesus isn’t a “cafeteria” where we get to walk through and select options as to which aspects of His path we want to follow. In similar respect, neither are we, as Jesus knows each of us, and beckons us to His side regardless of our past. Like Mary and Peter, and all of the angels and saints, recognized or otherwise, we are chosen and called, and our response to Him need only be “yes.”
We need to remain fully alert, as Satan wreaks havoc on our news sources, our politicians, and anyone else who hasn’t put on the full armor of God, to protect ourselves from the evil that lurks among us. Jesus not only offers us a shield of protection, he also calls us to deep love, which is our “sword” of sorts as we immerse ourselves entirely in Him that others might follow and bring His Kingdom to light. Know that choosing a “side” other than Jesus is to walk with the evil one, as our political “parties” have “both” become bastions of hatred, and our ability to see through their lies is critical as we move forward on His path. Jesus has demonstrated over and over through the scriptures and the prophets that He is the only way through the “Valley of Darkness,” and that our eternity is fully dependent upon our ability desire to follow Him, as without Him, we are doomed to an eternity of darkness. We are elected to be His Light source, and our role is one of submission, to Him and Him only, that we bring everyone we encounter to Him, The Shepherd, and that we remain all in, and totally His from this moment into eternity.❤️🙏

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 a 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.”

Life’s Journey

Saturday Truth in Deep Love🤗❤️🙏

“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.”(From Jesus to Gianna below)

It’s a beautiful thing watching new blood spring up in our church and community as we grow in love through fellowship and service. It’s also encouraging as I watch many cultures come together in love and support for each other in spite of popular narratives that would indicate otherwise. Old divisive dichotomies are giving way to multicultural growth in spite of the attempts to keep us labeled and categorized for the sake of political relevance. New friendships and mixed families are making beautiful new shades of brown that are closing cultural gaps in spite of the denial of the fact that we are one race created by God as we evolve and build new cultures around ourselves from remnants of the old. As political parties struggle to divide us, God is here and ever present to bring us back together, unified in love. To unify His Kingdom, creating one identity in Him, that we might bring truth to our lives and to cast all other agendas into the fire where they belong. No matter how hard we try to resist, Jesus is here to be our mentor in life for the rest of our lives. He calls us to work together in unity, without labels or judgment. To move forward in Him, that His Truth might move forward with us and in us, as we work to unite the world in Him. We are one body and we are one blood. Through, with, and in Him, in the unity of the Holy Spirit. From now into eternity. It’s time for us to stop being a “party member,” and to become a “body member,” as we are one body, and that we remain all in, and totally His as we celebrate this Advent season together. In perfect 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.

Seek Me

Friday Truth in Deep 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.”(From Jesus to Gianna below)

Despite its flaws and scandals, the Catholic Church, its magisterium, and its sacraments have provided an amazing array of prayers, routines, and gifts designed to keep us on track, and all in, and totally His at any given time on any given day. One can typically find a place open to pray, and our rosary, which mine never leaves my possession, is always with us, that we might walk with Jesus through the Gospel at any given time. These things give us a place of shelter, peace, and comfort on demand that allow us to draw Jesus into our hearts and souls and keep Him close, that we might “fear no evil” as we walk through the “shadow of the valley of death.” And as that “shadow” grows darker, these precious gifts give us a “go to,” a 24/7 means of connection that’s easier than picking up a cell phone, and can’t be compromised by any force, human or of nature. There is no force outside of ourselves that can keep us from God regardless of what or whom we might tend to blame for any disconnect we might experience as the world preys upon our egos and consciences. As God reveals Himself in the beauty of the sunrise, He beckons us to His side, that we might remain close and keep His love in us with every encounter, that those we touch will follow and want to be a part of it. That we might live our human existence through, with, and in Him, as we bring His Kingdom to fruition as He has proclaimed. We are called to serve and to love, and He is here to show us the way. May our thoughts, words, and deeds reciprocate His love as we approach this Advent season and look forward to His birth. That we carry His light with us everywhere we go, in perfect love.❤️🙏

SEEK ME
(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.
This romance of love is a romance with the Lover. I am the lover.
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!
Dress 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 call 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.
