Luke 15:31-32

 May 31, 2023

Verses of the day - Luke 15:31-32

Then the father said to him, "Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours.  But we had to celebrate and rejoice, because this brother of yours was dead and has come to life; he was lost and has been found.

Excerpt from second book - Come Back To Me

Jesus said:

The love I have for you is great.  I will always welcome My dear children back with open arms.  It does not matter how long My dear children are away from Me.  I will always be patiently waiting for their return to Me.  I am the Good Shepherd.  Fear not My dear little ones.  Everyone strays from My fold sometime during their life.  I will always welcome you back.  I will send certain people into your life to help you find your way back to Me.

Sometimes we drift away from our faith, but Jesus will always be waiting with open arms to welcome us back.  When we drift aways from God and do our own thing, He will always send someone into our life to gently lead us back to His loving arms.  Sometimes God will use US to lead someone else back to His flock.  We are like sheep who need Jesus, The Good Shepherd.  We are all called to help each other on our journey through life.

Proverbs 16:9

 May 30, 2023

Verse of the day - Proverbs 16:9 (NRSV)

The human mind plans the way, but the LORD directs the steps.

Excerpt from first book - Spirituality A Journey For My Soul

Jesus said:

Sometimes people have excessive items such as clothing.  I ask that you give to the needy from your excess.  Many people do not have any clothing to wear.  By donating what you don't wear or need, you help clothe the less fortunate who are in dire need.  This is a good way to give of yourself, and it doesn't require a lot of time.  Many times, when people hear that they need to give of themselves they believe that they are not capable of doing so.  Many people run busy lives and feel they do not have time to help out.  This is one way to lend a helping had to people in need.

John 10:2-4

 May 29, 2023

Verses of the day - John 10:2-4

The one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep.  The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep hear his voice.  He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.  When he has brought out all his own, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him because they know his voice.

Excerpt from third book - Come To The Cross

Jesus said:

My dear children, I am your Good Shepherd.  I watch over you and guide your steps.  I am with you always.  You are My sheep.  Sheep are lost without their shepherd.  There are many sheep among My dear children who are lost and do not know how to find Me, The Good Shepherd.  Those who know My voice follow Me.

Leviticus 26:1

May 28, 2023

Verse of the day - Leviticus 26:1

You shall make for yourselves no idols and erect no carved images or pillars, and you shall not place figured stones in your land, to worship at them; for I am the LORD your God.

Excerpt from second book - Come Back To Me

Jesus said:

There is nothing on this earth that compares to Me.  I send certain people into your life to help you draw closer to Me.  Do not be afraid to follow Me.  I will bring you everlasting life.  There is nothing on this earth that can bring you everlasting life.  That is why you need to draw yourself to Me alone.  Being drawn and attracted to other objects and people is wrong.  I desire everyone to break free from any addiction that separates us.  When addictions have been broken, we will have a closer relationship.  Always look for ways to draw closer to Me.  I love you and you are Mine.

1 Corinthians 13:12-13

 May 27, 2023

Verses of the day - 1 Corinthians 13:12-13 (NRSV)

For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then we will see face to face.  Now I know only in part; then I will know fully, even as I have been fully known.  And now faith, hope, and love abide, these three: and the greatest of these is love.

Excerpt from first book - Spirituality A Journey For My Soul

Jesus said:

My love for you is great.  Have no fear of anything.  Do not be afraid to come before Me.  I love you, and I will always be by your side guiding you every step of the way.  I will never leave your side.  Allow Me to wrap My loving arms around you.  When difficult times in your life occur, cry out to Me and I will comfort you.

Matthew 18:33

May 26, 2023

Verse of the day - Matthew 18:33 (NRSV)

Should you not have had mercy on your fellow-slave, as I had mercy on you?

Excerpt from third book - Come To The Cross

Jesus said:

Release everything over to Me and allow Me to do work inside your heart.  It is from the heart that forgiveness comes.  As hard as it was, I forgave those who beat and spat upon Me.  I also forgave the soldiers who nailed Me to the cross. I forgive all sins, great and small.  Blessed are you when you follow My example.

Jesus calls us to be loving and forgiving, just as He is.  Forgiving one another for things that have hurt us deeply takes great strength.  It is through prayer and the strength of God alone that we will be made capable of forgiving one another.

Proverbs 12:17

May 25, 2023

Verse of the day - Proverbs 12:17

Whoever speaks the truth gives honest evidence, but a false witness speaks deceitfully.

Excerpt from second book - Come Back To Me

Jesus said:

I will always give you the words to say.  When you feel as though you are stuck, say a prayer to Me.  I will hear your cry for help and answer your call.  Listen with open ears so that you will hear My words.  Even if the world forsakes you, always follow My lead and do as I ask.  Be not afraid to speak the words of truth. 

Exodus 20:16

 May 24, 2023

Verse of the day: Exodus 20:16 (NRSV)

You shall not bear false witness against your neighbour.

Excerpt from first book - Spirituality A Journey For My Soul

Jesus said:

Do not bring harm to one another by the words that are spoken.  Tame the tongue, for the tongue can speak evil things.  Do not speak ill will towards one another.  I created man in My own image.  Everyone has good inside of them.  I ask that you look for the good inside of people instead of looking to find fault in the things that they do.  Pray for strength to avoid this type of sin.  Once a person's reputation has been destroyed by gossip, it's hard to build back up.  I ask that you help build one another up instead of trying to tear one another apart by what has been said.  Defend one another whenever possible.  If something negative is being said about someone, try to find something positive to say about that same person.

Psalm 18:30

 May 23, 2023

Verse of the day - Psalm 18:30 (NRSV)

This God - his way is perfect; the promise of the LORD proves true; he is a shield for all who take refuge in him.

Excerpt from third book - Come To The Cross

Jesus said:

When you are born to newness of life, you are a new creation.  The old ways of doings things pass away.  You will no longer desire earthly things.  Your focus will become on pleasing Me and drawing more of My dear children to My Light.  I light the way for all mankind.  Be not afraid to walk in My ways.

Genesis 1:27

 May 22, 2023

Verse of the day - Genesis 1:27 (NRSV)

Excerpt from second book - Come Back To Me

Jesus said:

I have been present to everyone since the beginning of time.  Always be aware of My presence.  I am everywhere you look.  I created everything and I am present in everything.  Look at the trees, flowers, and fields.  I am there.  I am also present in the sunrise and sunset.   The beauty of nature is all around.  I formed the entire earth and mankind.  Look for Me in everyone you meet. I desire all mankind to come to back to Me.  Come and rediscover My Greatness.  I am worthy to be praised.

Psalm 51:2

 May 21, 2023

Verse of the day - Psalm 51:2 (NRSV)

Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.

Excerpt from first book - Spirituality A Journey For My Soul

Jesus said:

I desire all of My children to come to Me in repentance.  Complete forgiveness will be given to all who come to Me.  It is through My grace that your sins are forgiven.  I sacrificed My life for all people, yet there are many that have yet to come to repent of their sins.  I will deliver all who come to Me in repentance of their sins.  In order to be saved, one must repent of their sins and believe in the Gospel.  The Gospel is My spoken words.

Matthew 13:37-40

 May 20, 2023

Verses of the day - Matthew 13:37- 40 (NRSV)

He answered, 'The one who sows the good seed is the Son of Man; the field is the world, and the good seed are the children of the kingdom; the weeds are the children of the evil one, and the enemy who sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are angels.  Just as the weeds are collected and burned up with fire, so will it be at the end of the age.

Excerpt from third book - Come To The Cross

Jesus said:

I desire there to be many more good seeds in the world.  Be a good seed and help spread My Words.  Many things will come against My dear children when they try to plant seeds of hope among weeds.  Be persistent and do not give up.  The weeds are the evil deeds being done in the world today.  When My dear children plant seeds of hope and love, many times, eyes will be opened. 

Psalm 105:4

 May 19, 2023

Verse of the day - Psalm 105:4 (NRSV)

Seek the LORD and his strength; seek his presence continually.

Excerpt from second book - Come Back To Me

Jesus said:

Many times, when My dear children have problems, they turn to one another for help instead of turning to Me in prayer.  It is My desire that My dear children turn to Me in their time of need. Learn to trust in Me for the answers to your questions.  Never be afraid to come to Me for help.  I know your every need before you even ask.  Come, fall down and worship.  It is during worship and praise that many great things will be revealed to you.

Luke 15:4

 May 18, 2023

Which one of you, having a hundred sheep and losing one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness and go after the one that is lost until he finds it?

Excerpt from first book - Spirituality A Journey For My Soul

Jesus said:

Many of My dear children will be lost because they do not know Me as their Lord and Savior.  I ask that you help the lost sheep find their way back to Me.  I am the Good Shepherd, and I gather all sheep to Myself.  I watch over everyone, including the lost sheep of this world.

Jeremiah 17:14

 May 17, 2023

Verse of the day - Jeremiah 17:14 (NRSV)

Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved; for you are my praise.

Excerpt from third book - Come To The Cross

Jesus said:

Many times, My dear children would rather speak to mankind than to Me.  Mankind may have good intentions to help but only I have the true answers to the questions that linger in your mind.  Be not afraid to come before Me for answers.  I, the Creator of the Universe, understand much better the problems you face.  I know the thoughts and prayers you have in your heart.  Many times, when My dear children hear that I know what is on your mind and the prayers you have in your heart before I am even asked, they wonder why they should even take time to pray to Me.  Even though I know everything about you, your concerns, and your prayers, I still desire My dear children to spend time with Me.  Be bold in your faith-life.  Believe in Me.  All things are possible to those who believe.

John 3:36

 May 16, 2023

Verse of the day - John 3:36

Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever disobeys the Son will not see life, but must endure God's wrath.

Excerpt from second book - Come Back To Me

Jesus said:

Eternal life is given to all who believe in Me.  When My dear children pass from this life, they join Me in the Heavenly Realms, provided they followed Me while on earth.  Life on earth is temporary.  Eternal life is forever.  Everyone must strive to achieve Eternal Life with Me in Heaven.  This is where I desire My dear children to be.

If we are to achieve eternal life in Heaven with Jesus, we need to follow His ways.  We need to avoid following the ways of the world.  We also need to be careful who we believe.  Many times, there will be people who try to get us to follow their ways.  Their ways may seem to be right, but Jesus tells us to be aware.  

Matthew 18:33

 May 15, 2023

Verse of the day - Matthew 18:33 (NRSV)

Should you not have had mercy on your fellow-slave, as I had mercy on you?

Excerpt from first book - Spirituality A Journey For My Soul

Jesus said:

There is much unforgiveness in the world.  Unforgiveness grieves the Holy Spirit.  Forgiving one another is hard to do, but with My help, this can be achieved.  Forgiveness is of key importance when you experience new life with Me.  Forgive one another as I have forgiven you.  I died one the cross for the forgiveness of sins, big and small.

Romans 5:1-2

Jesus said:

My dear children, do not be afraid to share your love of Me with others.  I will do great works through you.  Allow Me to lead the way step by step.

Verse of the day - Wisdom 6:6 (NRSV)

For the lowliest may be pardoned in mercy, but the mighty will be mightily tested.

Excerpt from second book - Come Back To Me

Jesus said:

St. Faustina was very near and dear to Me.  She suffered much for Me.  It was through her I gave the words of the Divine Mercy Chaplet.  Through this Chaplet, many of My dear children are saved.  There is great power in this prayer, and I desire more of My dear children to recite it.  All praise, honor, and glory are given to Me through the words of this powerful prayer.  Any who come to Me and recite this prayer will be heard.  If the Divine Mercy Chaplet is said by the bedside of a dying person, their soul shall be saved.

Exodus 20:7

 May 12, 2023

Verse of the day - Exodus 20:7 (NRSV)

You shall not make wrongful use of the name of the LORD your God, for the LORD will not acquit anyone who misuses his name.

Excerpt from first book - Spirituality A Journey For My Soul

Jesus said:

It hurts Me deeply when people take My name in vain.  I desire everyone to refrain from this.  Everyone must watch their tongue.  The tongue can be used in two ways.  Either a person will speak evil and damage other people or what they say will glorify Me.  How I desire more people to glorify Me by their words and actions.

Matthew 6:12-13

 May 11, 2023

Verses of the day - Matthew 6:12-13 (NRSV)

Excerpt from third book - Come To The Cross

Jesus said:

Many times, My dear children have problems forgiving one another.  There will always be times in your life when someone hurts you deeply or owes you much money.  When you have been hurt deeply by someone, bring everything to Me in prayer.  Allow Me to heal your broken heart.  Even though the offense may be so great that it feels as though it cannot be forgiven, with My help everything is possible.

Philippians 4:13

 May 10, 2023

Verse of the day - Philippians 4:13 (NRSV)

I can do all things through him who strengthens me.

Excerpt from second book - Come Back To Me

Jesus said:

Many times, My dear children  do not do what I call them to because of fear.  Have no fear My little ones.  I will never call you to do something without giving you the strength to accomplish the task I have asked you to do.  Trust in Me, for I will show you the way.  I will never leave you or forsake you.  When you trust in Me, everything that you think is impossible to do will become possible.

Many times, we as humans are afraid to do the things God has called us to do.  We may think the things we are called to do are beyond our capabilities. God will never call us to do anything that He will not give us the strength to do.  Through His strength we will be able to do many great things for His coming Kingdom.

Romans 8:11

 May 9, 2023

Excerpt from first book - Come Back To Me

Jesus said:

While living on earth you will experience two births.  The first birth is when you are physically born.  You will follow the ways of the world because you do not yet know My ways.  After you come to know Me as your Lord and Savior, you will experience the type of life that I will you to live.

Matthew 18:4

Verse of the day - Matthew 18:4 (NRSV)

Whoever becomes humble like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

Jesus said:

Through faith believing, many miracles have happened.  The Bible, which are My spoken words, is full of miracles which happened because of great child-like faith.  A child never worries about anything.  They believe everything they are told.  This is what I desire of My dearly beloved children.

How great is the faith of My beloved children who believe in Me without seeing Me.  My desire is that all My dearly beloved would join Me around My table.  Come and join Me.  The feast is great, and all invited to come but only a few do.  Be not afraid to show your great faith in Me.  I will always be here for you.  In good times and in bad I will never leave you or forsake you.  Come and place your trust in Me.

Verses of the day - John 14:2-3 (NRSV)

In my Father's house there are many dwelling-places.  If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you?  And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, so that where I am, there you may be also.

Open your ears My dear children so that you may hear what I call you to do.  Lead others back to Me.  Many are wandering around lost and do not know how to find their way back to Me.  When you experience new life with Me, help My other dear children so that they may experience new life too.  Behold, come the Throne of Grace, and receive My everlasting glory.  Become one with Me.  I am your Good Shepherd and I lead the way.  Come, follow Me.

When we know Jesus as our Lord and Savior, Jesus desires us to help lead others back to Him.  If we do not know what to say to someone, we can ask Jesus and He will direct our steps.  He is the Good Shepherd and will never lead us in the wrong direction.

Psalm 37:5

 May 3, 2023

Verse of the day - Psalm 37:5 (NRSV)

Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him, and he will act.

Excerpt from first book - Spirituality A Journey For My Soul

Jesus said:

How I desire all of My people to let their light shine for Me.  There would be a lot less violence in the world.  It would be a world of peace.  So many people have yet to learn about Me.  It is so important for My words to be spread among the whole world.  Go forth and proclaim the gospel.

When we know Jesus as our Lord and Savior, Jesus desires us to share His love with others.  Many times, the people we meet in every day life do not know about Jesus.  We may not be traveling the world as missionaries but if we proclaim the gospel to everyone we meet, God's word will spread. Jesus said: Everyone has a mission in life.  Every time a word in My name, people learn of Me.

Matthew 5:15-16

 May 2, 2023

Verses of the day - Matthew 5:15-16

No one after lighting a lamp puts it under the bushel basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all in the house.  In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.

Excerpt from third book - Come To The Cross

Jesus said:

When you share My love with others, and do not follow the ways of the world, your faith-life will stand out.  Be a candle to light the way for those who do not know Me.  Allow your light to shine brightly through this dark, sin-stained world.  Through My dear children's light, many more will come to know Me as their Lord and Savior.  Follow in My steps.  This is how My other dear children will learn.  Allow others to know that your are My disciples.

Verses of the day - Matthew 28:19-20

Excerpt from second book - Come Back To Me

Jesus said:

Many of My dear children to not believe that I am truly present in the Eucharist.  This hurts Me greatly.  Even if My beloved children do not believe that I am present, I still come into their body and soul when I am consumed in the Holy Eucharist.  The Holy Eucharist was My gift to all mankind so that I may remain with everyone until the end of the world.  It is My desire that My dear beloved children believe this.  I am always with you and will never leave you.

I know the presence of Jesus in the Eucharist is real.  There have been times while I was at Eucharistic Adoration, when I have seen the face of Jesus in the Eucharist.  There was also one time when I was at mass, the first time the priest elevated the Eucharist I saw the face of Jesus.  The second time the Eucharist was elevated, I saw the face of Jesus again but only this time I saw the crown of thorns on His head.  His face was made very clear to Me.  These are only a few of many miracles which I have experienced while in the His presence.
