Washed By The Blood Of The Lamb

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

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!

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.f 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.

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.

You Can’t Run from Trouble

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

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.

Suffer with courage, perseverance, and sincere abandonment. Don’t ponder if the suffering is large or small. All that you can still do for Me on Earth is meritorious. (Jesus) (July 24, 1963)

Today’s Readings:

I believe that I shall see the bounty of the LORD in the land of the living. Wait for the LORD with courage; be stouthearted, and wait for the LORD. (Psalm 27)

Palm Sunday Of The Lord’s Passion

Consoling The Hearts of Jesus and Mary

I am the Mother of Sorrows, I suffer greatly because of the souls being lost. I am tortured in pain as I grieve for the suffering of my Divine Son. Never despise any tiredness. Be my eternal companion helping me bear my sufferings. This is what I ask of you.” (Mary) (November 19, 1962)

Today’s Readings: The Lord GOD has given me the tongue of those who are taught, that I may know how to sustain with a word him that is weary. (Isaiah 50)

Prayer Meditation- Lord, today we sing Your Praises but we also meditate on Your Passion. Holy Week is here- whether we spent our Lent fruitfully or not. Lord our own crosses can make us so tired- we may be dealing with illness of a family member, children away from Church and caught up in the world, or the stress and busyness of life that does not allow us much time to pause and pray! But Lord You who have given us everything, holding back nothing and if we ask, You will give us the strength to sustain us who are weary and weak. Lord help us not to despise any tiredness or crosses but help us to be Our Blessed Mother’s eternal companion in prayer and sacrifice- offering You the scraps of who we are this week if that is all we can muster knowing that You will multiply our poor love and pour into us the infinite Ocean of Your Mercy! Jesus we love You and surrender to You!

Friday of the Fifth Week of Lent

Believe The Works

In any case,

I arrange everything for your good. My Divine Providence works hard, with diligence, and without any interruption for the good of all humanity. (Jesus) (January 29, 1964)

Today’s Readings: If I do not perform my Father’s works, do not believe me;
but if I perform them, even if you do not believe me,
believe the works, so that you may realize and understand
that the Father is in me and I am in the Father. (John 10)

Prayer Meditation- Lord, today in the Gospels you encounter opposition from the religious leaders. So often, You encounter resistance from us as well. Even if we profess faith in You, we can struggle with doubt and unbelief. And yet Lord You arrange everything for our good! If we look back, we can see all the times that You worked miracles in our lives- moments of pure Grace and Providence even if we did not realize it at the time. What stories we all could tell and we will tell in Heaven! Lord, help us to take time today to meditate on Your Goodness and recall all those times that You worked in a mighty way or even small ways in our lives and may we do so with faith, trust, and thanksgiving!

The Great I Am

Thursday of the Fifth Week of Lent

The Great I Am

I am grateful to you because your heart suffers with Me, beats in Me. Never tire of contemplating My Sacred Wounds, from which you will always draw strength. Offer yourself to the Eternal Father. Abide within the Most Holy Trinity. (Jesus) (March 4-7, 1962)

Today’s Readings: Jesus said to them, “Amen, amen, I say to you,
before Abraham came to be, I AM.” (John 8)

Prayer Meditation- Lord, today let us contemplate Your Greatness and Your Love. The God who came to Earth to free us from the bonds of sin and death. The God who loves us to the end. The God who wishes to dwell and live among us even now in trial and travail. God, You are faithful and Your Everlasting Covenant of Love is forever and always! Let us like Abraham follow You in faith and not by sight (2 Corinthians 5) because Your promises are true and indeed if we remain in Your Word we will never die but live with You forever! (John 8).

Another In The Fire

Wednesday of the Fifth Week of Lent

Another In The Fire

With all your strength, remain continually in My redeeming work. You will not be paid less because you came later than those who arrived early. But, naturally, from you I require surrender and faithfulness that must last unto death, because it is the only way you can help from up there also. There, our hands will gather in unity.” (Jesus) (October 4, 1962)

Today’s Readings: “If you remain in my word, you will truly be my disciples,
and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” (John 8)

Prayer Meditation- Lord You come to us today in Your Word. In fact, You come to us every day in Your Word. And You ask us to remain in You and to be Your disciples. You ask us to know the truth, the only truth that sets us free! The truth that has never left us or forsaken us but whispers gently in our storms, I am with you! Just as in the first reading from Daniel 3, we may feel like we are in the blazing furnace in the world we live in today but You, the Son of Man are with us in the fire no matter how hot it is blazing! Lord help us to praise You with Daniel- “Blessed are you who look into the depths
from your throne upon the cherubim;
praiseworthy and exalted above all forever.” We praise You in this storm!
