Pardoned for All We Have Done
“I overlook everything. By your repentance, you attract Me to you like a magnet, and any soul doing that will attract Me. Oh, I beg you, draw Me to yourselves.” (Jesus) (July 26, 1964)
Today’s Readings: For I will re-establish my covenant with you, that you may know that I am the LORD, that you may remember and be covered with confusion, and that you may be utterly silenced for shame when I pardon you for all you have done, says the Lord GOD. (Ezekiel 16)
Prayer Meditation- Lord we thank You that no matter what we have done and who we have been, You pardon us when we come to You with a repentant heart. You overlook everything in Your unfathomable mercy- You remember our sins no more! (Isaiah 43:25). Lord, soften our hearts and draw us close to You and to Your Sacraments for healing and pardon!

Memorial of Saint Maximilian Kolbe
Marked With The Sign of The Cross
Jesus: “Were you not deeply touched by the bishop’s blessing? I was there when he traced the cross on your forehead. I did this for two reasons: to give you a reward for your numerous sufferings; and so that the bishop would know My Divine Will concerning you.” (Jesus) (December 15, 1962)
Today’s Readings: Pass through the city, through Jerusalem, and mark a “Thau” on the foreheads of those who moan and groan over all the abominations that are practiced within it. (Ezekiel 9)
Prayer Meditation- O Lord we love You, we bless You and we adore You on this Memorial of Saint Maximilian Kolbe who was so devoted to Our Mother, the Immaculata, promoting Total Consecration to You through Her to grow in conversion and holiness! Because She is the Ark for Our Times for all who love You! In Ezekiel, we read of those who lamented the evil in their day and they were marked with a Thau, an exemption from judgement. Today Lord, Our Lady is spreading the effect of Her Flame of Love to all souls marked with Your Cross because the Flame of Love in the Her Heart is Noah’s Ark for our sad times for ourselves and our families(Spring 1981). Today let us join the Immaculata, Our Beautiful Mother and renew our consecration prayers no matter which ones we made (De Montfort, Kolbe, 33 Days, etc) in the name of all for Your Glory Lord and the good of all!

Tuesday of the Nineteenth Week of Ordinary Time
We Are All Little Ones
“That first meeting was the great step, when My Mother entrusted you to Me in a special way. Since then, My little one, you have been flying like an arrow towards Me. (Jesus) (April 8, 1962)
Today’s Readings: And if he finds it, amen, I say to you, he rejoices more over it than over the ninety-nine that did not stray. In just the same way, it is not the will of your heavenly Father that one of these little ones be lost.” (Matthew 18)
Prayer Meditation- Lord, You tell us how much You love the little ones. You also tell us today that it is not Your Will that any are lost! Lord, the truth is, if we humble ourselves, we are all Your little ones and You came for all of us! Let us entrust ourselves to You as little children through Our Blessed Mother so that we will fly like arrows into Your Loving Arms!

Just a Glimpse
Then I came to a dead stop and for a brief moment the clouded face of God appeared before me. (Elizabeth) (1961-1962)
Today’s Readings: Like the bow which appears in the clouds on a rainy day was the splendor that surrounded him. Such was the vision of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. (Ezekiel 1)
Prayer Meditation- Lord most days it seems that we are walking around in darkness, there are clouds all around and we can wonder where You are in all of it. Then, if we are truly seeking You, it will happen- a brief but glorious glimpse of Your Presence like a rainbow on a rainy day! Lord You are with us in every moment of our lives so let us be strong and courageous for You will never leave or forsake us! (Deuteronomy 31:6).

Nineteenth Sunday of Ordinary Time
When the Journey Is Too
Long Little by little, I distanced myself from God. The continuous task to survive consumed my soul. After a long battle, my spiritual life faded. Even my faith itself was endangered. (Elizabeth) (1961-1962)
Today’s Readings: After he ate and drank, he lay down again, but the angel of the LORD came back a second time, touched him, and ordered, “Get up and eat, else the journey will be too long for you!” He got up, ate, and drank; then strengthened by that food, he walked forty days and forty nights to the mountain of God, Horeb.(1 Kings 19)
Prayer Meditation- Lord, we all know that sometimes the journey just feels too long. Every day is a battle- sickness, fear, anxiety, worry, all the cares and problems of the world. And we can start to distance ourselves from You as our problems just seem to suck the lives out of our souls. It can be a slow fade- this life on Earth if we are not tethered to You. Sometimes it just seems we are barely hanging by a thread. And Lord You know this is what we are up against- that is why You are the Living Bread that came down from Heaven so that we would live forever (John 6). On January 16, 1964, You told Elizabeth Kindelmann the following:
“I am the great Donor of blood. By virtue of My Divine Blood, you can be divinized. Can you understand that? Truly, it is difficult. I am the sole Donor of blood in the whole world. Permeate yourself with My love, My almighty love. Meditate on that now in the light of My holy brightness. Can’t you feel this Precious Blood? My Precious Blood warms up and sets into motion the frozen, paralyzed energy of your souls. I am pouring it out and will continue to pour it in all the men in the entire world inasmuch as they submit to the holy treatment of My Divine Hand” “After receiving My Precious Blood, examine your souls and become aware of the exhilaration that the power of My Precious Blood brings about in you. Do not be so insensitive. Let not routine lead you to my holy table, but rather the fervor of sacrificial charity, which ignites through contact with My love” Lord You have promised never to leave us or forsake us and we bless You, love You, and adore You because truly Your Love is the Love that never fails, never gives up, and never lets go!

Feast of Saint Lawrence
Rising By Falling
“When you are in Heaven and from up there you contemplate the death of one of your children, you will be by his bed. Your drop of oil will fall on the empty lamp and the Flame of Love of the Blessed Virgin will be lit. (Jesus) (October 9, 1962)
Today’s Readings: Jesus said to his disciples: Amen, amen, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains just a grain of wheat; but if it dies, it produces much fruit. (John 12)
Prayer Meditation- Lord, on this feast day of Saint Lawrence we are reminded of the cost of discipleship. That to follow You means to die to ourselves- for Christians through the years and even now it meant literally laying down their lives as You did. For most of us to die means to lay down our own ideas, our own wills, maybe even our own dreams for Your dream for our life. Many of us who follow You Lord are still unopened seeds, so much potential, but held back by the fear of falling. Held back by our need for control. Yet Lord it is in this abandonment to Your Providence that we will produce the fruit that You intended for us to produce. It may be here in this life but it may very well be in the next- like St. Therese doing good from Heaven! Fiat Lord, Thy Will be done!

Friday of the Eighteenth Week of Ordinary Time
The Way Of The Cross
On Friday, immerse yourself in my Sacred Passion. During the day, meditate on the Way of the Cross. From noon to three, adore my sacred wounds.” (Note, this can be done even at work or school.) (Jesus) (April 6, 1962)
Today’s Readings: Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wishes to come after me must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me. For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. What profit would there be for one to gain the whole world and forfeit his life? (Matthew 16)
Prayer Meditation- O Lord, so many want to avoid the cross in their lives. We want everything easy- we want our Heaven here! But there is no way to Heaven except through the Cross of Jesus. We have so many crosses- family worries, health concerns, work problems, the state of our nation and our world, our own helplessness to avoid sin. But if we unite them to Your Cross Lord throughout our day out of love for You and for the salvation of souls You will be faithful and You will walk us through the valley!

Memorial of Saint Dominic
God Forbid Lord
I told Him: “Forgive me, my beloved Jesus. Did I not ask You to destroy the rough features of my soul?” He answered with a mild voice: Jesus: “My little daughter, you must love Me night and day.” (Elizabeth/Jesus) (1961-1962)
Today’s Readings: Then Peter took Jesus aside and began to rebuke him, “God forbid, Lord! No such thing shall ever happen to you.” He turned and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are an obstacle to me. You are thinking not as God does, but as human beings do.”
Prayer Meditation- O Lord it is so easy to be critical of Peter. There he goes again, foot in his mouth. What we would call these days as having “no filter”. And it is shocking at first to hear Your response to him. But then all it takes is a quick look in the mirror. Because most of the time we are not thinking as You do but as human beings do. Stuck in our own human wills. And how many times have we said the same when the cross, whatever cross You have chosen for us comes our way. Illness, financial troubles, family problems, you name it. We say, God forbid Lord that such a thing should ever happen. And we fight the cross that You have lovingly chosen for us- feisty enough to consider cutting off someone’s ear and then cowardly enough to just run away and lick our wounds. This is us, every day of our lives, when we do not unite our will to Yours. But the good news is we can ask for grace every day for the plans that You have for us and we can love and praise You night and day because if our focus is on You we will not sink under the waves when You call us to do what seems impossible!

Wednesday of the Eighteenth Week of Ordinary Time
Woman How Great is Your Faith
The Lord Jesus told me that He had just given me, with wonderful strength, the grace of faith and confidence, because without these two virtues, no other virtues can take root in either me, or in any other soul. (Elizabeth) (May 24, 1963)
Today’s Readings: Then Jesus said to her in reply, “O woman, great is your faith! Let it be done for you as you wish.” And her daughter was healed from that hour. (Matthew 15)
Prayer Meditation- Lord today is a wonderful day because The Church has given us the Gospel of the Canaanite Woman who never gave up in her persistence! She humbled herself and You heard her prayers! Lord You are asking all of us to do the same- to pray with faith and confidence and with love and humility in our hearts! On this day let us pray The Holy Rosary as Our Lady has taught us because there is no problem that cannot be solved by praying the Rosary! (Sister Lucia)
