Monday Truth in Deep Love🤗❤️🙏
“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.❤️🙏

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.

Saturday Truth in Deep Love🤗❤️🙏
“I want My people to know that it is most important during this time that they be very careful in how they perceive others in thought, word, and deeds. Be careful how you see yourself. Do not be self-righteous and see yourself as favored, yet others as confused, lost, or in need of pity.”(From Jesus to Gianna below)
How often do we run across people, or even become people who act like “Barney Fife” in our spiritual walk? Making people feel “unworthy” of God’s love when we ourselves are rendering “pride” and “authority” in a way that attempts to place ourselves above others? “Preaching” from the ego as opposed to the conscience, and espousing pride over humility, which is pretty much antithetical to our “divine calling.”
There are plenty of supposedly “Christian memes” out there that enable this behavior, yet, how do we draw others to His Flock if we’re, well, being jerks?
If there was ever a common thread amongst the “saints,” living or dead, it’s humility. As Jesus went above and beyond to demonstrate humility by dying for us, we still have a hard time letting go of that “pride,” that sense of justice that is God’s to render and not ours.
Jesus calls us to heal ourselves and others from a place of humility. Not to get ourselves blocked on Facebook because we’re coming from a place of haughtiness because we crawl down theological wormholes and pull pieces of scripture out of context to demean or control others. Or casting people away from our perceived “church” for the same reasons.
Here’s what Jesus says to Gianna-
“ If you choose to follow Me and My Word, then you will live My Word and love as I love. Regardless of the messenger, regardless of the place, regardless of your own personal opinion, you will love unconditionally and humble yourself to be like Me if you are truly My servant. Better now to search your motives than to find out later that you were filled with bloated pride.”
I don’t think there’s any place in scripture or prophecy where Jesus tells us to go out and render authority by bashing other Christians for their beliefs. He calls us to welcome all, to heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers,(Matt 10:8) and most of all, to be humble, for none of us are fit to even wash the feet of He, who loves us unconditionally, and died proving it.
God calls us to get down and dirty. To humble ourselves before the leper as we wash his wounds. To die unto our ego and sense of self, that we might draw others to His Table, and His well of eternal and everlasting life, that we might remain all in, and totally His. That we might cleanse ourselves of the sin of pride, as we “walk each other Home.” The love we give is all that will ever matter. ❤️🙏

YOUR OWN LACK OF LOVE
My little one, I want My people to know that it is contradictory to say that you love and are merciful and then to turn around and blame others for their lack of response to their needs. You cannot say you live My Word and then turn around and judge, be indifferent, be complacent, or treat others as aliens because they do not share your belief or because you feel they are not living as children of the Father and disciples of the Son. I want My people to know that it is most important during this time that they be very careful in how they perceive others in thought, word, and deeds. Be careful how you see yourself. Do not be self-righteous and see yourself as favored, yet others as confused, lost, or in need of pity. I will not enter into the already established forum of many groups and organizations where I need to justify My Being, My Presence, My words or that of My Mother’s.
What is needed is unconditional love and acceptance for all people. I am your Jesus of Mercy. I am God. Those who wish to believe My words may be at peace, and those who wish to scrutinize and scandalize My words by looking at the messenger instead of the message may also do so. But I tell you, no one is superior, self-righteous, favored, or in a more grace-filled position who cannot love unconditionally. How can you say you love Me with all your heart and desire to be Me and even study My Way and My Word, then turn around and criticize and condemn with a sense of authority? The more you humble yourself and become meek of heart, the more you will you gain authority on that which is Divine. My message of love and mercy may seem to be too simple of a task and without full flavor for many people. If this is so, why is it that so few people are responding at all levels to My words and requests? My people are filled with human anger and they fight evil with evil. They are filled with hate. Yet My people also feel they are chosen, that they will gain the Kingdom, and that they are justified in blaming others.
What is needed is love at all levels for all My people regardless of title, position or authority, even in My Church. Love is what is needed. Mercy!
It is dangerous to blame others for war. It is dangerous to blame others for lack of resources. It is dangerous to blame others for lack of health. First, you must look to yourself and see your own lack of love. It is love which saves. It is the lack of love of which you yourself are guilty that has led to wars, crime, lack of resources, My Mother’s hunger and pain. LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! Many are caught up in My Mother’s loving words of hope and encouragement. They say they live Her messages, yet they turn around and criticize, judge. or keep their distance from those they feel are not living as God’s children. Those types of actions are not loving. Those actions are not merciful. Those actions do not yield a meek or humble heart.
MY WORDS ARE TO BE LOVING AND MERCIFUL TO ALL PEOPLE. MY WORDS ARE TO BE MEEK AND HUMBLE OF HEART. MY WORDS ARE FOR ALL PEOPLE OF ALL RACES OF ALL NATIONS. If you choose to follow Me and My Word, then you will live My Word and love as I love. Regardless of the messenger, regardless of the place, regardless of your own personal opinion, you will love unconditionally and humble yourself to be like Me if you are truly My servant. Better now to search your motives than to find out later that you were filled with bloated pride.
It is because I love My people and desire them to be free that I reveal My words of truth. Those who feel uncomfortable reading My words or are quick to pass judgment on the authenticity of My words should perhaps reflect on them more deeply, for they are the ones held captive and slave to pride. It reflects their ways and their actions. It is likened to the high priest who comes before Me thanking Me that he is righteous and not like the rest of the sinners and the beggar who beats his breast pleading for God’s mercy because He is a sinner. Who do you think will gain the Kingdom? Beware of your spiritual pride. Turn now away from your sinful mannerisms, and LOVE. Love yourself, love others, and love to be humble. I bless you and love you. I give to you My peace and I hope you will decide for LOVE. It is your choice. Peace. AD DEUM.

Friday Truth in Deep Love🤗❤️🙏
“Always strive to be loving and master all trials and tribulations through trust and confidence. Even if you initially fail, you have not failed. Each time you have gained wisdom and have practiced the virtues of humility and patience. Each time you become more like Me until you are Me in Divine love and mercy. Never lose sight of the fact that I am always with you and that I am your God, a God for all people for I created all things in existence and all people”(From Jesus to Gianna below)
There are many things and “people” in this life that I “wanted,” and didn’t “get.” Many of them were “dodged bullets” as I ponder back in retrospect. People and “things,” ideologies and alliances, or even “fame and fortune” that would have likely sent me on an ungodly course had I been availed of the opportunity to immerse myself in “things of the world” with little sense of moral or “eternal” accountability.
It’s sad when people who have what we consider “everything” fall into such a state of despair that they turn to substances, and often suicide, whether intentional or not, because they travel on a path that leaves them empty.
When I left the “safety” of the “corporate umbrella,” my “plan” was to “conquer the world,” make lots of money, and live happily ever after. God quickly showed me that without Him, I could very easily be overcome by the world, and lose nearly everything, including my home, my marriage, and lots of “money.”
I now realize that every trial that God has placed before me was designed to bring me to Him that I might one day become His “helper” and bring others to Him. I don’t know why I was “chosen” in this way, as I watch folks living seemingly “ok” lives without Him, but once I witnessed enough of His boundless truth through service to Him through others, I realized that there is no turning back, for He Whom I once shunned, truly is The Way, The Truth, and The Life, and even the mere thought of life without Him leaves me with an emptiness that draws me back to Him rather quickly.
These seemingly “archaic” stories in The Bible become anything but archaic if we draw close enough to Him that He might let us have glimpses of the world through His Eyes. When we look back on a story like “Sodom and Gomorrah” in context, it should be evident to us that the many of the “lifestyles “ contained therein, were socially devastating to society at large, yet were minuscule compared to what we see today, with our children as subjects, and a large economy based on filth and human trafficking. Yet, we have been like the proverbial “frog in slowly boiling water,” as society validates and advocates promiscuity without remorse or accountability.
There is a path to destruction lying in front of every single one of us, and there is also a narrow path to Glory, through and with Him, and if our minds are clear enough to “see straight,” the choice as to which path to follow will become more than obvious. It’s incumbent upon us to place God’s Truth before all things, for absence of Him is absence of life, and all other paths can only lead us to darkness and death.
God loves each and every one of us more than we can know on this plane, but if we remain in Him, and stay true to Him, He will lead us down the path of righteousness as we “walk each other Home” to Him. Only through humility and submission , can we remain all in, and totally His. May we remain conscious enough to say “yes” to all that is of Him, and “no” to all that is not. Ask and pray, remain in Him, and He WILL show us The Way.❤️🙏

MY HANDS OF LOVE, SAFETY, AND PROTECTION
My dear little one, I am a God for all people. I created all which is in existence. I love all people for I created all people. There is nothing I cannot do or accomplish. I Am Who Am. I want all My people to know how tender, kind and loving I am. I do not want My people to be afraid of Me. The way to follow Me is to live My Word in simplicity. When you are confused, call on Me. Follow My Way in simplicity and remain patient. My saints were tempted and confused, and they met with many desolations, but they practiced patience for they knew I would come to their aid. Much unfolds for your sanctification and growth in humility. I will come in due time to give the consolation needed. Be at peace and do not lose focus on your Jesus.
Confidence in My love and trust in My assistance to help you are key elements. You hold the power in your own heart to unfold and control outcomes to many issues. The power is in the level of confidence you have in Me. The more confident and trusting you are of Me, the more pleasure you will take in maintaining peace of heart and the more freedom you will experience because of your security in My love. You will not be worried or concerned as to the future, but you will be more surrendered and detached. Power rests in your heart through confidence because you will know that I will ensure that all will go as God wills and everything will be for your happiness. When you place your confidence in Me, you never have to worry about your future. Every moment of your life is in My hands, in My hands of love, safety and protection. As you are subjected to trials and tribulations, confidence in Me will allow you to surrender and accept all which is sent to you with patience and meekness of heart. You never have to fear because in the end I will rescue you. This does not mean that you will be free in your life from all trials, humiliations, mortifications, and desolations, for all come from heaven to prepare you for the glory of My Father’s Kingdom. It does mean that utilizing the gift of confidence and trust in My Divine love and mercy will free you, protect your soul, and gain you sanctification. It takes many opportunities to practice humility and patience before perfection reaches sainthood. It is how you prepare to reach the finish line.
Always strive to be loving and master all trials and tribulations through trust and confidence. Even if you initially fail, you have not failed. Each time you have gained wisdom and have practiced the virtues of humility and patience. Each time you become more like Me until you are Me in Divine love and mercy. Never lose sight of the fact that I am always with you and that I am your God, a God for all people for I created all things in existence and all people. I am a loving God. I love all My people. Nothing unfolds unless it is allowed by My Father. Therefore, confidence in Him will secure your safety and position in His Kingdom. Trust that what unfolds in your life is to release you from the chains of this world and to gain for you true freedom and joy. There is so much you cannot see around you which inhibits your growth. My Father sees and knows what will truly make you happy. Trust in God! Trust in your Jesus of Mercy! TRUST! TRUST! TRUST! Do not say “yes” and then try to take back your “yes”. Make your “yes” a “YES” and TRUST! Be patient. Be filled with hope and anticipation of the freedom and joy to come. Peace, little one, to you and My beloved ones, My people. Peace. AD DEUM.

Wednesday Truth in Deep Love🤗❤️🙏
“Do not allow the passion of curiosity to let your eyes look at what others are doing. Your eyes need to be focused on your own duties of love for the day. Be careful and notice how often in a given day you may be filled with judgmental opinions and emotions. Realize how often you are quick to form a verdict on someone’s actions, words or general behavior, and thus feel that you are self-righteous. Put a stop to active, useless thoughts which can preoccupy your mind by replacing them with thoughts of love and affirmative, positive thoughts of the person.”(From Jesus to Gianna below)
It surprises me that there are still people my age and older who haven’t grown out of “gossip,” which is perhaps the lowest form of conversation. Yet, there are still kids in High School who carry a level of empathy in them that allows them to ignore it and rise above it. I’ve been party to it over the years, in “school,” in the workplace, not so much in church, as most of my fellow parishioners have grown past that level of immaturity, but there are still those “toxic individuals” who thrive on that type of “drama,” and it often creates an embarrassing situation when we feel compelled to “cut them off.” I have much to repent for in this, as there have been many times in my life when I not only failed to cut it off, I was the one running across the building spreading it around. Uggh. Self reflection can be ugly, but hopefully life changing as we apply it to our actions and lives going forward.
Today, fortunately, I don’t run across too many people who “talk about other people,” but when and if I do, I try to turn it off, as there is nothing to be gained by entertaining it, and plenty to be lost, including friendships and reputation.
We all have ugliness in our “story,” and as Jesus asks us in Matthew 7-3; “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?”
We even have to be careful when we watch the “news,” and talk about “celebrities” and their “problems,” as none of us are perfect, and so many rumors are carelessly spread, especially as “journalism” devolves into whet we call “tabloid.” And we probably spread more lies about “political figures” than anything else because our devil possessed media puts them out there. And we typically “give them what they want” by spreading their toxicity around for our own entertainment.
Jesus calls us to be better, and being better starts with me. We can’t love people if we’re saying bad things about them “behind their back.”
I feel like I’ve done much better over the last decade or so keeping toxicity like that at bay, but it often catches us unaware as we engage in dialogue with others, and we may even get “tripped up” into saying something about someone that we might regret, whether in that moment or later down the road.
I pray that all of us maintain a mind to try and look at others as God sees them, that they might see us in the same light as we grow together in love, and bring Jesus into our hearts, souls, and minds, so that we do no harm to others when we speak. To cast away negativity and to keep God’s Love at the forefront, so we can remain all in, and totally His. We can only do that through love.❤️🙏

Lesson #25

October 25, 1995
LOVE AS I LOVE, SEE THROUGH MY EYES
My dear child, listen to My words of mercy for My beloved people.
See how through My patience I show My people how much I love them. I am a gentle God, loving all people. I am here for all people, not only a select few. All are special to Me for all were created in My likeness. It is My people who have the choice to belong to Me. I will never reject them. My beloved ones feel inferior and are afraid they are not counted among the chosen. They wonder why certain things happen to them and not to others. They place restrictions, contingencies and stipulations on themselves, and therefore block My love. They, in essence, build a wall of judgmental emotions against themselves, not permitting Me to love them. For this reason they end up rejecting My love and My graces which I desire to bestow on them. I want all My beloved to know the depth and breadth of My love for them.
Life is full of wonders, and what you do with each opportunity of each day allows you to be co-redeemers in My love. My people are filled with questions which occupy their minds, questions about themselves. I desire them to rest in My love by putting aside their frustrations and desires for self gain and to focus on loving others through My eyes. Love as I love. Do not be concerned on how you could do better serving others. Place the emphasis of your focus not on yourself but on loving others. Do the best you can do and be pleased that My grace has carried you through a given day.
We together are joined in love. Do not become distracted with the frustrations and the enticements of the world. Your cross is your redemption; and the closer you desire to be to Me, the more you desire to be Me, the many more crosses you will be issued under the heavens, for true love and humility are brought to perfection through the cross. Do not attempt to analyze why some people seem to have heavier or fewer crosses in their lives. Everyone who desires eternal life and to share the Beatific Vision of the Holy Trinity has a cross. Only I know the incentives of each person’s heart, and only I know what each person needs for salvation.
Pray for others. Intercede for them with your love, service and prayers. Join together as a unit of one body, one love. Do not weigh your cross against another person’s. Keep your head under the yoke.
Do not allow the passion of curiosity to let your eyes look at what others are doing. Your eyes need to be focused on your own duties of love for the day. Be careful and notice how often in a given day you may be filled with judgmental opinions and emotions. Realize how often you are quick to form a verdict on someone’s actions, words or general behavior, and thus feel that you are self-righteous. Put a stop to active, useless thoughts which can preoccupy your mind by replacing them with thoughts of love and affirmative, positive thoughts of the person. See through My eyes each person’s good-ness, and be merciful. Focus on My love and mercy and on how I love each person and am merciful not only toward the greatest sins but also the slightest imperfections and failings.
You can be merciful. You can be loving. You can be Me, for you were created in My goodness. It takes time to utilize and put into practice My words, as it takes time for an athlete to train and rise to a level of perfection in fitness. If you do not start, how will you reach the finish line? Begin now and be patient with yourself. As I have said to you in the beginning of this lesson, ‘See how through patience I show My people how much I love them’, through your patience show each other how much you love one another. Begin with yourself. Be patient with yourself as I guide you and show you how much you love yourself, so you will be able to show others how much you love them. Mercy is the key to loving. Take the step to mercy and cross the bridge of love. Peace, little one, to you and all My loved ones. My peace I give to you. AD DEUM.

Monday Truth in Deep Love🤗❤️🙏
“Let your life show them the freedom and joy affiliated with the surrender of affection toward the passions and material possessions of the world. Your life must be an example of prayer, joy and service. It must be free of fear, anxiety and attachments of all sorts. There are many of My beloved ones who refuse to know Me. They do not desire Me. They have no interest in anything Divine. Bring these My people to Me through prayer. Unite them unceasingly to Me in the silence of your heart and live in My hope for their future.”(From Jesus to Gianna below)
What “gifts” do we have that we can bring to the table? What exactly does “the table” need? When I was a boy growing up in school, we were all gauged socially by how adept we were in sports, yet few of us ever used it as a vehicle for significance, yet, “sports” seems to be “all things” to society at large. “Athletic ability” tends to be prioritized at an early age, considering how much money society pours into it, yet, how many people did you grow up with who ever really “did anything” with it, aside from collecting a yearbook memory and a trophy that will spend the next few decades in an attic?
Meanwhile people around us are starving. People down the street. Starving for shelter, food, love, and a sense of purpose.
Don’t get me wrong, I love that our grandson gets to play, and we love to go watch when we can, but I can’t help but feel that our priorities are askew when I see how much money gets poured into “competition and ego,” while there are so many in need all around us who could benefit from the “service club” which struggled to collect $450 this year to donate to the shelter down the street. How much does football gear for each kid cost? Probably pretty close to that. Don’t even get me started on “turf fields.” We can’t just play on grass?
I suppose “sports” does teach us humility on some level, because 50% of us are going to be the loser in any given situation, but it still doesn’t form compassion for the starving soul down the street. It teaches us exclusion, because not everyone is going to “make the team” but a select few. A lot of $$ does get allocated towards that “select few.”
Then there’s the “locker room,” where the opposite sex tends to be objectified and promiscuity is the “goal” in conversation.
“Academia” likes to obsess over the “objectification of women,” yet, how many people could be fed with the money that colleges pour into it, merely by creating an environment that does in fact enable misogyny and promiscuity at a significant level?
I don’t watch much sports, but I do like to see how my “favorite teams” are doing so I lurk.
Sports are “fun” for all of us, but how can we call ourselves “custodians of good,” when our resources are so what I call “carelessly allocated?” Are we teaching selfishness and enabling “lack of restraint,” when maybe we should be feeding hungry people and building shelters where our sense of purpose can be one that’s eternal and real? How do we create a shift in social consciousness that might help us to become a better society for all?
I don’t have an answer for this, except to pray. Pray for a “shift in social consciousness” that creates a focus on service and helping our fellow humans. That’s eternal, where “competitive significance” is but momentary for 99.9 percent of us.
I pray that we open our eyes to this imbalance and bring the significance of our service projects “to and above” the level where we place “competition.”
Replacing “competition” with compassion for all. For compassion equates to love, and only through love, can we remain all in, and totally His.❤️🙏

YOUR JOURNEY OF LIFE
My little one, the daily journey of life entails a variety of emotional valeys and hills, valleys of sorrow and hills of joy. I your Jesus of Mercy walk with My people on their journey, when invited. Even though the tide changes and ways of life change for many people,
I remain the same, for I am God. My Word remains the same, for I am the Word. I am Love, and I can only love. I love all My people.
Even though all the world may turn against you and forget you, I will always love you and never forget you. The measure of love that I have for all My people is greater than the sands of the earth. No small deed of mercy, love, charity or compassion goes unnoticed.
All are accounted for in My Kingdom. Even though the flesh dies, the soul lives and is free in My love. The bones of the flesh remain on the earth, but the spirit ascends to everlasting life, connecting life on earth to life eternal. This connection is through the cross.
It is necessary to live in this world sharing the graces which are Divine with all people, helping all to know My love. This can be accomplished by being Love itself. You may not feel that you belong to this world, but you must live in it. Utilize the opportunity to love, and be humble and meek of heart. Pray unceasingly in mind and spirit. There are many of My beloved ones who do not know Me and are thirsty for My love. Many are confused, downtroddened, angry, bewildered and lonely. Be Love for them. Be Me.. Bring My people to Me through unconditional love, deeds and prayer. There are many who know Me, yet are so afraid to take a risk for Me. They are quite comfortable in the way they live and in their knowledge of Me. Yet, they are not willing to be challenged by Me, nor do they desire to know Me more intimately for fear of what I might ask of them once illumination of their minds and souls commences. They keep a distance from Me. Bring these My people to Me through your example of living and of trust in Me. Let your life show them the freedom and joy affiliated with the surrender of affection toward the passions and material possessions of the world. Your life must be an example of prayer, joy and service. It must be free of fear, anxiety and attachments of all sorts. There are many of My beloved ones who refuse to know Me. They do not desire Me. They have no interest in anything Divine. Bring these My people to Me through prayer. Unite them unceasingly to Me in the silence of your heart and live in My hope for their future. The time will come when all actions will be accounted for in the heavens. Every person will be responsible for his or her actions. It is I who desire all to be free and happy and to live in love of the truth. Speak up for the truth of My Word; yet speak lovingly and allow your actions to be the living testimony of your freedom in My love.
I bless you, little one of love and mercy, as I bless all My people in the world. Pray, pray, pray unceasingly and live My love for all.
Peace in My love and fortitude in My truth! AD DEUM.

Sunday Truth in Deep Love🤗❤️🙏
“Simpleness of life and satisfaction in God’s designs lend to the achievement of great heights in your sanctification. I did not give My life in vain. I gave my life for all people. I desire all to know that I am here and I am not distant. But I am waiting for My beloved people to allow Me to be Who l Am, for I cannot change to meet their needs or change to their liking. I am a God of love, and all My works can only end in love.”(From Jesus to Gianna below)
To whom will I show God’s Love today? Sometimes merely practicing waiting in traffic and allowing others to go first helps me practice the patience I need to carry myself about in a loving way. Or yielding to others in the grocery store, and making them feel a little special and loved, that they might reciprocate that love towards others as they make their way through the store, or even through the rest of their day. Introducing ourselves to “strangers” in church that they might become no longer strangers to us, that we might walk together as allies in the fulfillment of God’s Kingdom. Sometimes the only love the people we meet and encounter in any given day is that which comes from us.
Giving love away is free, it’s easy, and it feels really awesome, so why do we not devote our lives to doing it?
Fear? Fear of “embarrassment,” that they might not reciprocate? Often they don’t reciprocate, but so what? Sometimes it flows back, sometimes it doesn’t, but what’s important is that we put it out there. We can only become better by doing it, and we certainly aren’t hurting anyone as long as we stay within acceptable boundaries.
There are 7 billion some odd souls walking on this planet, and I usually get to touch a few “handfuls” of them every day. God doesn’t place those handfuls in front of us by chance, but so that we can touch them in a way that’s pleasing to Him, makes our lives more significant, and simply makes someone else feel better. About life, about themselves, and hopefully about God, who loves us from a place we often don’t get to experience if someone doesn’t “show” it to us.
God doesn’t call us to church so that we can feel good in hiding. The whole meaning of “Mass” is to be “sent forth.” To “heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the leper, and to drive out demons.” (Matthew 10:8)That sounds like a lot, but most of the time it just equates to being nice. Even when people are mean, be nice. And be kind. It makes us better, and it makes everyone around us better. It’s the simplest of things, and if we stay in practice, our lives will be lives of deep fulfillment as we walk each other through this aspect of being where God has placed us. All things have the potential to become better through us. How we raise our children, treat our co-workers and colleagues, and most of all, how we treat strangers, as even a momentary glance can be life changing for someone who doesn’t feel loved.
“Light of the world, shine on me, love is the answer.”(Song by Todd Rundgren) Only through our love through Our Lord, can we keep ourselves all in, and totally His.❤️🙏

Lesson #23
In private chapel at home

THE BREADTH AND DEPTH OF MY LOVE
My dear little one, My words I give to My people are in hope that they will realize the breadth and depth of My love for them. Many of My people feel unworthy because they are weak in virtue and imperfect in love. My life was for them and My love is theirs. Evil influence and weaknesses of the flesh continually crash as waves on the soul to distract and persuade it that I am a vengeful God.
The fact and truth is that I am merciful, forgiving, compassionate and understanding. The opportunity is there for My beloved ones to utilize. This opportunity is within their reach and it entails a humbling of the inner self, accepting their weaknesses and turning to Me in confidence and trust for strength and mercy. The soul is revived and the Breath of Life gains for them the strength to persevere. All my people are special to Me. Each soul was created to love and to give God great glory. In giving God glory they in turn are sanctified and purified so that they may receive the same glory.
I do not desire My loved ones to be downtroddened, troubled or discouraged; for I am a God of hope. I do not desire My loved ones to feel that they will not be able to possess eternal life and therefore become more distant from My love. These temptations only have one agenda, and that is to weaken them further and widen the gap between the truth of My love for them and their position.
Come, all My loved ones. I will not reject you. Draw near to My most merciful Sacred Heart. I desire to fill you with strength and hope and to encourage you to open your hearts to an intimate relationship. When you recognize your sinfulness and weakness but turn to Me humbly for mercy, I bless you, teach you and give you the power to rise to the limits of compassion and love for self. This gives God great glory when the soul recognizes that alone it merits nothing, but through God merits eternal life. For in Him all power is gained. This littleness is a dependency of trust and it surrenders unconditionally at all times and in all circumstances and situations to God’s will. Simpleness of life and satisfaction in God’s designs lend to the achievement of great heights in your sanctification. I did not give My life in vain. I gave my life for all people. I desire all to know that I am here and I am not distant. But I am waiting for My beloved people to allow Me to be Who l Am, for I cannot change to meet their needs or change to their liking. I am a God of love, and all My works can only end in love. When I begin to change situations of great need in peoples’ lives, it seems at first the situation becomes more hopeless. That is because the circumstance initially commenced and was controlled at a human level. I, in turn, must weed out the bitter fruit so that all will blossom with the sweetness of honey. However, many of My people prevent Me at that point to continue to prune the garden. They pull the reigns of control, and out of fear they take back what they initially gave to Me. They do not trust Me. Instead, I desire them to remove themselves even further and to trust that My mercy will prevail and that ultimately great works of goodness will surface.
Tell My people, little one, that I am a God of trust and that I can be trusted with the most hopeless situations, only to reap the most promising victories. I bless and love all My people. Trust Me.
Do not feel ashamed, unworthy or hopeless. I will save you and protect you if you will allow Me. The risk is in your hands. The decision is yours, for I have given you free will. I await to assist you at your call. Come, draw near. I am your Jesus of Mercy. Peace.
AD DEUM.
