GO TELL

Today’s Consuming Fire Meditation- – A Daily Dose of the Flame of Love Diary Served Up with Today’s Scriptures

Monday in the Octave of Easter

Go Tell

Make public all that I tell you now: Make the sign of the Cross five times while thinking of My Sacred Wounds. (Jesus) (April 8, 1962)

Today’s Readings: Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went away quickly from the tomb,
fearful yet overjoyed,
and ran to announce the news to his disciples.
And behold, Jesus met them on their way and greeted them.
They approached, embraced his feet, and did him homage.
Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid.
Go tell my brothers to go to Galilee,
and there they will see me.” (Matthew 28)

Prayer Meditation- Lord, we see the Holy Women, and we can marvel at their faithfulness. Rewarded for their faith, they are fearful and overjoyed as they gaze at the empty tomb. And then there You are and You tell them not to be afraid but to go tell the Apostles what they have seen. Lord, even in hard times, we know that You are the Risen Lord who tells us not to be afraid. And you so want us to tell others about the hope that is in us (1 Peter 3:15). That You died for us so that if we repent and believe in our hearts, we can attain salvation, a free gift of Your Amazing Grace! (Romans 10:9). So, Lord, let us run like those faithful women to tell our brothers and sisters the good news of the Gospel- whether it be by word or by our loving actions toward others because He is Risen and He Lives!

WE SING ALLELUIA- BECAUSE HE LIVES

Easter Sunday The Resurrection of The Lord- The Mass of Easter Day

We Sing Alleluia- Because He Lives

Why do you think that I am far away, in the heights above you? Really, I am standing right now next to you. (Jesus) (April 7, 1965)

Today’s Readings- Brothers and sisters: If then you were raised with Christ, seek what is above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Think of what is above, not of what is on earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ your life appears, then you too will appear with him in glory. (Colossians 3)

Prayer Meditation- O Lord we are Easter people and we sing Alleluia! Let us fix our eyes above on You. the Risen One, who is not distant from us and has never left us or forsaken us but who walks with us every day! Because You Live O Lord- we can face tomorrow!

ALL WHO ARE THIRSTY

Holy Saturday

All Who Are Thirsty

While we were eating our bread, He allowed me to feel His inner emotions and He breathed His words full of grace into my soul. Jesus said, “May our souls be in harmony. In this way, our hands will gather in unity. (Elizabeth) (October 18,1962)

Today’s Readings:

Thus, says the LORD: All you who are thirsty, come to the water! You who have no money, come, receive grain and eat; come, without paying and without cost, drink wine and milk! Why spend your money for what is not bread, your wages for what fails to satisfy? (Isaiah 55)

Prayer Meditation: O Lord, only You can fill us with Your Living Water- why do we chase after anything else but Your Daily Bread? Your Presence living in us is all that satisfies- as we review our salvation history at the Easter Vigil let our hearts burn within us for the God who burns with love for us

WASHED BY THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB

Good Friday

Washed by the Blood of The Lamb

Let my Precious Blood fall upon you. My drops of Blood are a bank check. The check is valid until the end of the world. The soul in God’s grace can cash it at any time before their death. Each soul must use this check as frequently as possible. It is the ransom paid by my Precious Blood. (Jesus) (February 22, 1964)

Today’s Readings:

Yet it was our infirmities that he bore, our sufferings that he endured, while we thought of him as stricken, as one smitten by God and afflicted. But he was pierced for our offenses, crushed for our sins; upon him was the chastisement that makes us whole, by his stripes we were healed. We had all gone astray like sheep, each following his own way; but the LORD laid upon him the guilt of us all. (Isaiah 53)

Prayer Meditation: O Lord we have all gone astray like sheep, yet no matter how many times we fall You are there to pick us up- there is no limit to Your Love, Mercy, and Forgiveness! Let us go boldly to the Throne of Grace and never hurt You with our distrust in Your Mercy! O Jesus, let the healing rain of Your Precious Blood fall on us- O Blood and Water which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus- we trust in You!

THE GOD WHO WASHES OUR FEET- LOVING US TO THE END

Holy Thursday

The God Who Washes Our Feet- Loving Us To The End

Mary: “My little one, Thursdays and Fridays should be considered as great days of grace. Those who offer reparation to my Divine Son on these days will receive a great grace. During the hours of reparation, the power of Satan will weaken to the degree that those making reparation pray for sinners.(Mary) (September 29, 1962)

Today’s Readings: “Do you realize what I have done for you? You call me ‘teacher’ and ‘master,’ and rightly so, for indeed I am. If I, therefore, the master and teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash one another’s feet. I have given you a model to follow, so that as I have done for you, you should also do.” (John 13)

Prayer Meditation: O Lord on this Holy Thursday let us meditate deeply on Your love for us and model that love for others. Let us be cleansed by You so we can serve others. Let us also keep You company tonight at least one hour and make reparation for those who do not know You and love You- You gave everything for our salvation, let us give just a little back to participate in Your saving work.

O Lord, let us examine ourselves, in what way is it also I who betray You? Let us never despair but turn to You in true sorrow and repentance and remove from us as we enter Holy Week what is not of You!

ADORATION AND REPARATION

Wednesday of Holy Week

Adoration And Reparation

Adore Me and make reparation on behalf of others also. Seek many graces for them. (Jesus) (January 6, 1963)

Today’s Readings:

Insult has broken my heart, and I am weak,
    I looked for sympathy, but there was none;
    for consolers, not one could I find.
Rather they put gall in my food,
    and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink. I will praise the name of God in song, and I will glorify him with thanksgiving: “See, you lowly ones, and be glad; you who seek God, may your hearts revive! (Psalm 69)

Prayer Meditation- O Lord even in the darkest hour let us seek Your Face and praise You in all things. Today we read in the Gospel how You were betrayed by one of the twelve- by a disciple and friend. And while we can relate to that on a human level what was worse was the loss of Judas because of his despair. We cannot even imagine how You grieve over the loss of souls. Let us seek Your restoration of our own hearts and for others and let us console Your Heart in union with The Immaculate Heart of Mary as we enter the Triduum.

O Lord You are our refuge and our strength, let us never be put to shame! Jesus we trust in You!

YOU CAN’T RUN FROM TROUBLE

Tuesday of Holy Week

You Can’t Run from Trouble

They avoid what is difficult, as years go on, their soul becomes grey and covered with dust. (Jesus) (December 22, 1963)

Today’s Readings:

Jesus answered, “Will you lay down your life for me? Amen, amen, I say to you, the cock will not crow before you deny me three times.” (John 13)

Prayer Meditation- O Lord, Peter could talk the talk but couldn’t walk the walk- how many times is that us even in our daily lives. When it gets hard, when the road narrows and gets rocky, we just want to hide and make it all go away. Lord help us not to deny You but follow You even when the path ahead is impossible to see and when we fall. Let us, like Peter ,also humbly realize our brokenness and accept Your forgiveness.

Oh Lord this Holy Week let us wait on You with courage and keep You company for ourselves, our families, and the whole world!
