“One of the many gifts as you receive My Holy Spirit is that of mercy. When you allow My Divine Love to flow from you, out to someone who is in need, that is My mercy flowing out from Me. When you, or any of My children, have mercy on someone, it is equivalent to Me having mercy on that same person…because of My Spirit, which dwells in you. Mercy is a missing link in loving. You cannot love without being able to have mercy. You cannot have mercy if you do not love!”(From Jesus to Gianna below)
How do I maintain a “spirit of mercy” when I have “inner thoughts” about verbally “slapping people silly” on a daily basis? I was lurking around a prayer group yesterday as they were sharing similar thoughts on this same topic, and it seems there are very few of if any of us who aren’t in this same “boat.” They were reflecting on times when “mercy” really hasn’t been their strong suit, and I realize that I get “waves of anger” that pass through me every day in a similar way. We allow our ego to overrule our conscience, at least on the interior, and we often drive ourselves a little bonkers, practicing lines in our heads that are far from “merciful.” We live in a society of “over reactors,” and people can often be jerks merely for the sake of being jerks, yet, we somehow have to “rise above” all of that if we’re going to face our true calling, which is love and mercy. I do have a growing “list” of “go to mantras” that can bring inner peace in these situations, albeit often “temporary peace,” for inner peace can be a hard thing to maintain with a “world” that constantly pokes and prods us towards hatred;
The Litany of Humility, The Prayer of St Francis, The sorrowful mysteries of The Rosary, that remind us of the ultimate sacrifice that was given to us as Jesus gave all. The Psalms(as well as many other elements of scripture that focus on sacrifice and humility) The writings of the great saints, particularly the Carmelites like St Therese, St Theresa of Avila, and St John of The Cross.
These as well as a plethora of other things can help us to realign and humble ourselves, tools that we can reach for that are as close as a “Google” or “Kindle purchase.” And sometimes we have to just fall on our knees, and ask Him for relief and inner peace, as I suspect all of us will live our lives as “works in progress” where this is concerned. To “love one another” as Jesus has loved us is probably the greatest challenge we as Christians will face on the daily, so it is important that we do everything we can to “keep ourselves in that place.” To keep love at the forefront of our consciences in every interaction, for without love we are nothing. As the song goes; “one day at a time, Sweet Jesus.” Practicing, and maintaining a spirit of love, that will keep our souls “all in and totally His.” And asking for His help, for He is always at the ready to do just that. May we let Him all in, that He might keep us on the path of love and mercy, for it’s the only way to redemption, as we walk in The Way, The Truth, and The Life. That His Kingdom come, and His Will be done. Through our steadfast love, and humility.❤️🙏 (Reflection by Kenny Meek)
Message from Jesus to Gianna Talone Sullivan, I Am Your Jesus of Mercy Vol I MERCY NOVEMBER 7, 1988 My dear one, as you have seen, My people are deaf to the words of your Lord. How belittling it is to Me for them to seek help without first asking for the source of their help…the gift of Myself! People do not listen. They did not listen back in My age and they still do not listen now. They hear what they want to hear. They select their words over Mine. My impatience with their selection is deepening. Your prayers are comforting My impatience. It is because of My children that I am a generous and patient God. I long to fill My people with so many special gifts, but they will not allow Me, because I am in line in their selection process. My people will not let Me be their God! They make Me out to be Who they think I should be. How much longer do you think this can continue before man corrupts the gift of this world totally? Man expects to accomplish on his own. The pain I feel is because the beauty of this world was once given as a symbol of the love of God. Today you gave up a special time with Me, so that you could help My other children. When you comforted My children, you comforted Me. I would now like to instruct you about My mercy. What is mercy? Who deserves My mercy? Who asks for mercy? Mercy is the Divine power of My love, which flows out on to whomever seeks it. One of the many gifts as you receive My Holy Spirit is that of mercy. When you allow My Divine Love to flow from you, out to someone who is in need, that is My mercy flowing out from Me. When you, or any of My children, have mercy on someone, it is equivalent to Me having mercy on that same person…because of My Spirit, which dwells in you. Mercy is a missing link in loving. You cannot love without being able to have mercy. You cannot have mercy if you do not love! I know this seems very much for you, but you must know the truth. My people ask for My mercy, but they will not give My mercy, because they select not to love, or they select who they desire to love. God does not select… neither should His people. What makes man think he is rich enough that he has the right to love one person and not another? I mean pure love, not sexual love. Man even distorts what love is. A man with 10 shillings is richer than a man with 5, until a man with 20 shillings comes along. That does not mean that the man with 10 shillings has more power to select who he loves than the man with 5 shill-ings, and the same holds true for the man with 20 shillings. If you want to have mercy on someone, you need to love that person! If you want mercy in return, you need to allow yourself to be loved! Mercy, love, Divine power is all possible through all My people, if they would listen and ask for the gifts I wish to pour out on them through My Spirit.
Jesus through Gianna from below; “My child, I would like you to start being and living the holiness of Me…not only in your actions, but in your daily thoughts and feelings. Do not be holy on the surface, be holy within, and throughout your entire body. BE ME! (Jesus talked to me before each Sorrowful Mystery, beginning with the second mystery).”
Life, if lived to its fullest will always mean great change, for without great change, good and bad, we remain stagnant, and often useless to ourselves and others. Change often means stepping out of our “comfort zones,” and dying to our “old selves,” and rising from our own ashes, our thoughts, opinions, and feelings, that tend to keep us “locked in” to a way of life that rarely serves us or anyone else. No one has demonstrated this change more greatly than Jesus, in His Passion, death, and resurrection, where he not only rose to new life in Heaven at the right hand of The Father, He still lives in millions upon millions of us, as we do our best to grow in Him, helping others to grow in Him. And keeping His most powerful and glorious legacy alive and well some 2000 years after the fact. To grow into Jesus, we do have to die into ourselves, shed our egos, and cast our skepticism towards His “realness” aside, as I have done in my segue from militant agnosticism and strong criticism of all religion, to doing my best to living a life that’s “all in, and totally His. The first time I had ever heard of Gianna, she was on the front page of our local paper casting visions to a packed house in a large “standing room only” venue, and I recall “rolling my eyes.” Asking myself about the gullibility factor of this large crowd. Arrogant, scoffing someone and something I knew nothing about. It took quite a series of “death and resurrections” on my part to bring me from then to now, as Jesus decided that my past skepticism made me the perfect “tool” to use to bring Him to people and people to Him through these miraculous renderings through her. So it’s time to start fresh in these volumes once again, as I have done before, to keep going through them, as well as the scriptures, and hopefully maturing as I work to try to apply them to my daily life as well as yours, that we all might die unto our old selves in this Christmas Season, and rise to new life in Him, from the “Joyful mysteries to the Glorious! And putting emphasis on the sorrowful as we lay ourselves at the foot of His Cross, and ask Him to show us how we might rise again in Him, and bring others into His flock that they might live lives that are also, “all in,” and totally His. To live life from my morning reflections to my nightly prayers with Terry in a way that exemplifies both, and trying to avoid Hypocrisy, that we all tend to lean towards at times. I recommend daily rosary praying to everyone, for the mysteries lying therein are entirely biblical, word for word, not just Catholic, and see the Gospel through the eyes of Mary, and woe to any soul who dismisses Mary’s role in salvation history, for no one saw it through a more perfect lens than Her. I’m also very excited about our new pastor at St Katharine Drexel, Father Matt Buening, as he has been placed at the helm of our relatively new, thriving and diverse parish, and I look forward to working with him, as he brings the Bible to new life in us, and unites us in love. I’ve been blessed to spend much time with him, and he’s as real a deal as I’ve ever seen in the “Catholic Priest business.” All are welcome at SKD, and all you need to do is step out of your “comfort zone,” and come on down, for renewal is at hand! Hopefully many of us will receive the call this coming year, to let the spirit in, and cast the demons out, as we work to keep ourselves and others living lives that are all in, and totally His.❤️🙏 (Reflection by Kenny Meek)
Message from Jesus to Gianna Talone Sullivan, I am Your Jesus of Mercy Vol 1 Lessons From Our Lord SORROWFUL MYSTERIES SEPTEMBER 20, 1988 My child, I would like you to start being and living the holiness of Me…not only in your actions, but in your daily thoughts and feelings. Do not be holy on the surface, be holy within, and throughout your entire body. BE ME! (Jesus talked to me before each Sorrowful Mystery, beginning with the second mystery). 2ND MYSTERY (Scourging at the Pillar) The pain of My scourging was not the scourge, but in who was doing the scourging. That pain still exists. I always comforted, but when that time came for the Lord, God, to be comforted, My loved ones could not, because they were afraid. Yes, fear, like in today’s world. People live in fear. Where is the trust in the Lord, God’s comfort? 3RD MYSTERY (Crowning of Thorns) Then I accepted My thorns for the sake of My people’s fear, and forgiveness of their sins, but My people could not accept this. That is the sorrow. 4TH MYSTERY (Carrying of the Cross) Then I carried My cross for My people. But My people will not carry their cross for Me. How weak in faith you are! You all want someone else to carry your cross, and you want eternal life too. I say to you: “Carry your own cross and carry your brother’s and then come into My Kingdom!” 5TH MYSTERY (The Crucifixion and Death on the Cross) My people could not stop at the mockery of Me, but continued with the mockery of My mother, who cried for you at the foot of My cross, and who is still crying for you. She lived My sorrow and is still living it. Feel the pain she feels.
“Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in Heaven, for on the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you”(From The Beatitudes, Sermon on the Mount, Matthew 5:11)
“Pray and love all people, even those who seem to be farthest away. Do not be afraid to pray for those who are your enemies. Do not harden your hearts, but walk through clouds of anger and bitterness and meet them with love, strength and mercy on the other side. There is no need to take justice into your own hands. There is no need to take prosecution to the full extent of the law. What are needed are contrite hearts, merciful hearts, patient hearts, and hearts of compassion.”(From Jesus to Gianna below)
“Be nice”(Dalton as portrayed by Patrick Swayze in Road House)
—— There are people out there whom I will never likely see again, who have so disturbed me to the core of my being, that they make it really hard not to “hate” them. The narcissists and “philosophical bullies” who can’t “keep it in their pants,” and constantly “show their @$$” for all the world to see, yet, our job as Christians is to “love” them. And pray for them. How do we arrive at that “place” in our hearts and souls where the desire to pray for them and love them, as opposed to publicly verbally abusing them comes into play? Most of all, how do we turn that anger into love, and place ourselves at the foot of the cross in submission, and turn them over to God, for they are as much His children as we are, even though they “walk in darkness” from our perspective? Detachment from “the world” is a hard thing, as the world is constantly hurling obstacles at us, but it’s often that we must do just that, and retreat into prayer for our own humility, for our own humility is the only thing we really have control over. That, and the example we show others through that humility. One daily practice we’ve put into play at our house is a reading of the “Litany of humility.” It can be found here.
It does help in the moment, but I do need prayers and practice, because my heart and mind fall out of the game pretty much every day, and I do have to constantly reel myself back in to that place of peace and love that passes all understanding. To humble myself, and remember how Jesus humbled Himself at a level which very few of us are capable. To love our “Judases” and the bullies around us is something I suspect will always be a “work in progress” for me, but I am blessed to have enough love surrounding me, and in my life, that it does give my heart, soul, and mind a place to rest if I’m intentional about it. And if course, first and foremost, there’s Jesus, the Alpha and the Omega, The Way, The Truth, and The Life,” who is always near and dear, who gives us that Peace. He is Love incarnate, and the closer we remain to and in Him, the better we can turn that “hatred” into love. And the better we can remain “all in, and totally His.” Let’s pray for each other in this, as I’m sure we all face these difficulties at times. That we can keep our souls pure and free of the temptation towards hatred, for God’s Kingdom is and always will be one of love. Its maintenance and endurance is up to us, and that can only happen through love.❤️🙏 (Reflection by Kenny Meek)
Excerpt from I Am Your Jesus of Mercy Vol V, Message from Jesus to Gianna Talone Sullivan Lesson #30 In private chapel at home November 11-12, 1995, midnight RETURN TO GOD Pray for all people. Pray and love all people, even those who seem to be farthest away. Do not be afraid to pray for those who are your enemies. Do not harden your hearts, but walk through clouds of anger and bitterness and meet them with love, strength and mercy on the other side. There is no need to take justice into your own hands. There is no need to take prosecution to the full extent of the law. What are needed are contrite hearts, merciful hearts, patient hearts, and hearts of compassion. Those who live My Word have hearts of love, mercy, patience and compassion. Those who do not live My Word have hearts of stone and live not in My world but in their own. You cannot serve two masters. Those who live by My Word of truth and love know that justice will be fulfilled at the hand of My Father. You cannot say you are a child of God, a chosen people, and then through words and actions contradict the law of love as I have given it to you. If you pray, you will know the truth, for the least contradiction to loving would cause inner division, for love and hate are not able to be mixed.
“If you desire time with Me, I will give it to you. I am gentle and meek of heart. I will teach you how to pray. I will lead you to a conversion of heart through praying for forgiveness and purity of heart. You will love your enemies and persecutors and seek the Kingdom above all else. You will learn to pray in faith, for I will guide you.”(From Jesus to Gianna below)
God didn’t put us on this earth so we can get rich, fat, and happy. He didn’t put us here to compete, whether it be for resources or temporal “glory” of the “self,” although that’s kind of how “the world” sees us. As “competitors” trying to stay “ahead of the game.” One thing I find about people who have very little in the material sense, is that they are often the most generous. Not all are like that, but there does tend to be an air of faith based generosity, a willingness to give back, that many people who are way more “well off” are lacking. Maybe it’s because people who lack in the material sense do draw closer to God because He’s all they have, or at least most of what they have. I suppose God works in a similar way with “religious” who take vows of poverty, as they spend more time praying, living through, with, and in God as they ponder life from a “minimalist perspective.” Not attached to “things,” but blessed with the gift of “time,” which most of us forget we have because we fill our calendars with worldly “things” as opposed to Godly things. I like to think I’m pretty good about giving “time” to God, and if I stay immersed in Him, that He might also help me to better “love my enemies and persecutors” as He has stated above. Somehow my psyche manages to love some people better when they’re “blocked” on Facebook, as there are often aspects of certain personalities that are clearly demonic in nature. It’s hard to stay in God’s will if we allow ourselves to be poked and prodded by “Satan,” so there’s often a “catch 22” in play, at least there is in my walk of faith. It’s easier to walk with the poor than it is with the wicked, and I’m not sure how much God really calls me to “walk with the wicked,” as the wicked tend to distract us from love, which is our sole purpose on earth.  I guess the point here is that God will give us all the time we need as we relinquish the worldly and make more room and “time” in our lives for Him. He WILL free us up if we open ourselves up and allow Him to do so. He will show us whom and what we need to keep in our lives to be the best custodians of His Kingdom that we can possibly be, in spite of our gross imperfections. All we have to do is be “aware.” To keep Him close as our reason for living and our purpose in all things. To fill our “calendars” with Him, because that’s the only way we’re going to be able to remain all in and totally His considering the political and social “climates” we live in. Gods Will can and will be done for us if we “let go,” and allow Him, to “orchestrate our time.”❤️🙏 (Reflection by Kenny Meek)
Message from Jesus to Gianna Talone Sullivan, I Am Your Jesus of Mercy Vol V Lesson #29 In private chapel at home November 9, 1995 LET ME ORCHESTRATE YOUR TIME My little one, come to Me when you are weary and rest in My love. I will give you peace and refresh your soul with My presence. So many of My beloved people are tired and in need of great comfort and loving care. I desire all who are tired and filled with anguish to have recourse to Me. No matter how busy your schedule is daily, I can comfort you. Only ask Me to orchestrate your time, and you will be given the time to rest in My love in prayer and solitude. If you desire time with Me, I will give it to you. I am gentle and meek of heart. I will teach you how to pray. I will lead you to a conversion of heart through praying for forgiveness and purity of heart. You will love your enemies and persecutors and seek the Kingdom above all else. You will learn to pray in faith, for I will guide you. You will knock, and I, being the Door, will open to you the Way. Your heart will be disposed to do the will of My Father, for you will be bonded to Him in filial love. In Me you will live the perfect model of prayer through a loving adherence to the will of My Father. Remember I have mentioned to you the bond of filial love and how you, through Me, are a child of God. Pray with confidence. Pray with a persevering faith and with purity of heart. Give all your petitions in prayer to My Father in My Name. I have told you of His great love and tender kindness. This filial bond of love with the Father is a communion with Him. Nothing happens to you in life unless My Father wills it so. Trust in Divine Providence and surrender to His consoling truths. Trust in the wisdom of God. His judgment does not lack in what is advantageous for you. Even misfortunes have a useful purpose. Practice trustful surrender and have a loving recourse to God. I will teach you to conform to the will of My Father in adversity as well as in prosperity, in times of humiliation and disgrace as well as in times of honor and respect. I will lead you and be your Teacher. Though all may turn from you, I will never leave you. I will be there for you. You will have a place to rest your weary head. I am merciful and all loving. I am your Jesus of Mercy. I want all My people to know I am here for them at their asking. I surround them with love, and I hope they will desire the counsels of truth. It is My hope that they practice filial submission to Divine Providence. This allows them to rest in My Father’s arms as a child rests in its mother’s arms. Conforming the soul in love to Divine Providence allows the soul to rest in peace and gives hope to the weary. My lessons to My people have been given because of My great love for them. I am calling My people to return back to God. I desire My people to know I have not abandoned them. I have given them the tools of prayer and the consoling truths of My existence. I have desired them to learn, to be free, and to grow in holiness. I give My words for them to give them hope for the journey. I await their love. My Word will never perish. All who abide in the Word abide in Me and abide in Love. Those who abide in Me abide in My Father in a filial boldness. My lessons are for all people in the world. All are invited to live in unity, peace and love. All are invited to live in the truth of God. Peace to all, little one. My peace I give to you for all eternity. Come, you who are weary and filled with anguish. Come, rest in My love. Receive My mercy and comforting love. I am your Jesus of Mercy. AD DEUM.
“It grieves Me that many of My people have chosen to walk the way of evil. They have chosen to be stubborn in their ways. They want, but they refuse to give. They must be right at all times and fail to accept error in humility. Pride continues to control every element of their being; and when they receive what they have sought after, it is not enough. They desire more. Since they are never satisfied, they are never at peace. Only those who bow their heads under the yoke of God can receive true wisdom through gentleness and meekness of heart.”(From Jesus to Gianna below)
“Pride” is often considered the root of all the other sins, yet, most of us not only harbor it, we establish our “identity,” personal and collective with it, and there are factions out there who actively “celebrate” it.” Jesus has never ever called us to approach life from a place of “pride,” yet here we are, harboring different levels of it depending on our backgrounds and personalities, basically thumbing our noses at God in an attempt to rise to “personal or collective glory,” and kind of “casting Him aside” that we might attain some kind of false temporal glory that ultimately creates division mostly due to our own lack of humility. Don’t get me wrong, it’s incumbent upon all of us to treat each other with love and respect, but pride, is and always will be an anathema to anything resembling love and respect. I’m guilty of it every time I become frustrated with others, and don’t get a chance to adequately process that frustration before interacting with them, and that’s when things tend to go south. At least in my interior dwelling. It’s also often that my “filter” lets some of that pride out for others to witness, and if we have anything resembling a conscience, we will tend to punish ourselves for these kinds of transgressions if someone else doesn’t call us on them and “punish” us first. Life will humble us if we don’t actively work to humble ourselves. “Rising from the ashes” from a place of pride typically tends to make us what our wannabe oppressors often accuse us of being, and we’re not going to “win friends and mend fences” if we fail to be humble in our quest for equality, or relevance. And we often appear “stupid” in these quests, because we really haven’t pondered the “cause and effect” aspect of our arrogance. Pride can make us feel quite good in the moment, but the effects can be eternally devastating if we fail to keep ourselves in check. Jesus allowed Himself to be beaten and tortured, “crowned wth thorns,” and crucified for us, yet, we forget. I certainly do every single day. That’s why it’s so important to do what we can to immerse ourselves in The Gospel, and remember How God allowed Himself to be humbled before us, yet we somehow manage to place ourselves above Him, mostly to keep our ego satisfied. That’s one reason why daily practice of praying our rosary is so important, as it walks us through The Gospels at the most basic level every single day. It reminds us as to what Jesus did for us, that we might place ourselves at the foot of The Cross in humility, which will ultimately bring us closer to love of neighbor through, with, and in Him as He calls us to do. Jesus calls us to love through humility, and pride is just a real no no. Only by working daily to eliminate pride from our personal and collective psyche, can we live lives that are all in, and totally His.❤️🙏 (Reflection by Kenny Meek)
Message from Jesus to Gianna Talone Sullivan, I Am Your Jesus of Mercy Vol V Lesson #28 In private chapel at home November 2, 1995 THE CRY OF MY PEOPLE My dear little one, I hear the cry of My people. I hear their plea. All is answered through My most merciful Heart. The sorrowful shall be comforted. I will not allow My people to be alone. There already has been great devastation in the world where many of My people have wailed in agony for My mercy. I come to the rescue of each soul even though agony has resulted through human hands and the unwillingness to love or be merciful. Evil’s reign of power is close to an end, and there shall be no more tears of sorrow but tears of joy and gladness. Every sorrow, every whimper of pain pierces My Sacred Heart only to be turned into the soul’s glory in resurrection. It grieves Me that many of My people have chosen to walk the way of evil. They have chosen to be stubborn in their ways. They want, but they refuse to give. They must be right at all times and fail to accept error in humility. Pride continues to control every element of their being; and when they receive what they have sought after, it is not enough. They desire more. Since they are never satisfied, they are never at peace. Only those who bow their heads under the yoke of God can receive true wisdom through gentleness and meekness of heart. My servants know the way of love. My servants may suffer, but their suffering is united to Mine and is redemptive. In time every man, woman and child shall know the truth of My love. They will see the truth of the world as it is and what they have missed from postponing prayer and service through love. By seeking self-gain in the world they will see what they have depleted from their souls through the loss of treasures in heaven. Evil does exist and its subtleties linger and fall prey on any soul complacent or indifferent to unconditional love and mercy. No doubt My servants will suffer interiorly and perhaps exteriorly because of the current conditions of the world which do not render love without self-gain. No one is ever free when there exists conditions and limitations on mercy. This is not any new discovery. I have called My people to unconditional love and mercy for 2000 years. I have invited My people to live in simplicity and to pray. I have invited My people to follow the Truth of My Way. I have told My people that it takes time to change and not to wait to the last moment. My love is not a project meeting a deadline. My love is a way of life, an ongoing peace, harmony, unity, freedom and joy. My love challenges you to grow and rise to the highest levels of dignity and respect. Wounds are healed, though perhaps not without pain. Ultimately pain will cease and no wounds will exist when you walk My Way. I have tried to help My people, but many refuse My assistance and My love. Their ways are confounded in self-pride and their pain deepens. The window of opportunity has been opened to love, but now My people in desolation, despair and pain accuse Me of abandonment. I will always remain Who I Am. I am Love. I have never changed. So few listened to My words. Many are still not listening. Who is guilty of abandonment? The window of opportunity still exists. I have never left My people. Never! Each soul is precious in My love. Each soul is invited to love and will not be turned away. Each soul is also given the freedom to choose Love. Now the world is a product of humankind’s decision to love. Evil could not prevail unless allowed by the soul. Power, materialism and prestige have masked the truth of dignity. Politicians debating other politicians and leaders of other countries are all seeking their own self-gain. Few seek to uphold the truths of mercy and love for freedom in the world. This lack of genuine love and service will only be manifested in the current devastations existing in the world. My love has filtered through many souls now seeking the truth, and many souls are allowing Me to help them. As genuine love surfaces, evil will initially seem to have stronger forces, but will weaken because evil cannot exist where there is Love. Humankind will have the opportunity to control and eliminate evil through genuine love and mercy. I will be with them as I have been before. Evil would like you to believe you have no power to control or eliminate its forces in existance. But I tell you otherwise. Through love evil cannot exist. Unity, harmony and mercy are the artillery to win the battle through love. This may mean you may not be always at the forefront in the areas of prestige, power or self-righteousness. Love has no boundaries, and the first areas evil attacks are the areas of pride, self-gain, materialism, and power: the masks of falsehood and obstacles to freedom. But many of My beloved ones are gaining the knowledge of truth from asking My assistance and giving their souls unconditionally to My care, love and mercy. There is hope for the future of mankind, a hope founded in Love. For evil’s reign is close to an end. I love you, little one, and all My people. Peace be with you. AD DEUM.
