O Lord may we be teachable and docile to the Holy Spirit!

DWELLING IN HIM

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

Memorial of Saint Catherine of Siena

Dwelling In Him

Jesus: “I’ll wait for you at home. When you arrive, I will be in our little dwelling.” (Jesus) (September 1, 1963)

Today’s Readings: Jesus answered and said to him,
“Whoever loves me will keep my word,
and my Father will love him,
and we will come to him and make our dwelling with him. (John 14)

Prayer Meditation- O Lord we love You, we adore You and we thank You because You have promised that whoever loves You will keep Your Word and You will love him and make Your Dwelling with him. And that the Holy Spirit will come and teach and remind us of everything You have taught us and want to teach us. O Lord, You want to dwell in  our souls not just in Heaven but on Earth and You wait for us in the little homes of our hearts and souls if we would just open the door because You stand at the door and knock! (Revelations 3). It is in You that we live and move and have our being (Acts 17) even as we hold these treasures You give us in jars of clay (2 Corinthians 4). Today Lord we celebrate Saint Catherine of Siena who gave us her wonderful dialogues with You! She tells us that the soul is in God and God is in the soul and that You are closer to us than water is to a fish!. O Lord may we today have that same intimate dialogue with You, Our God, Our Father, Our Savior, and Our Closest Friend with total love and confidence in You and may You make Your dwelling in us! Breathe in our breathing, think in our thinking, speak in our speaking for Your Glory God and for the good of all souls!

O Lord we can nothing without You!

NOTHING WITHOUT YOU

Fifth Sunday of Easter

Nothing Without You

“My adored Jesus, how silent You are in my soul. I have only a one-way conversation with You. You know that I am weak and sinful. Without You, I am a miserable nothing. I live by the grace of abandonment to You.” (Elizabeth) (January 4, 1963)

Today’s Readings: I am the vine, you are the branches. Whoever remains in me and I in him will bear much fruit, because without me you can do nothing. (John 15)

Prayer Meditation- Lord Jesus- You are the true Vine- we are but branches. We can do nothing on our own. You care for us by pruning us so that we can bear fruit- the fruits of The Spirit (Galatians 5). Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control- how is that going for us- is that the fruit others see when they see us? Do we need pruning? Lord, the key is to remember that of ourselves we are nothing- Lord give us the grace of abandonment to You because it is only Your tender care of our souls that will produce the fruit You are planting in due season (Galatians 6:9).

O Lord You always hear our prayers and You always give us what we need like a good, good Father!

ALL IN

Saturday of the Fourth Week of Easter

All In

Do you want to continue being an instrument? Do you want to climb with Me the Mount of Calvary, the Golgotha? If so, your place is beside the Mother of Sorrows. The Flame of Love of her heart that she wishes to enkindle on earth through you demands a total commitment on your part.  (Jesus) (March 24, 1963)

Today’s Gospel: For so the Lord has commanded us, I have made you a light to the Gentiles, that you may be an instrument of salvation to the ends of the earth.” (Acts 13)

Prayer Meditation: O Lord Paul and Barnabas and all the Apostles were all in! Being all in is scary- it involves sacrifice and commitment and pushing forward, not looking back. Yet if we climb with You on the road to Calvary, You have promised us every spiritual blessing including Our Mother who is waiting for our fiat to pour out Her Flame of Love on a hurting world! Let us meditate and prepare ourselves to be His instruments!

O Lord, You bring us perfect peace and You have indeed prepared a place for us!

DO NOT LET YOUR HEARTS BE TROUBLED

Friday of the Fourth Week of Easter

Do Not Let Your Hearts Be Troubled

After your death, will abound in the treasures of your heart those who will know, bless and glorify God. God helped you with His boundless grace to have a life filled with treasures. Those who will live after you on earth can draw abundantly from these treasures. They will be able to follow the simple road of your life. By this path, they also can reach Me.” (Jesus) (November 17-18, 1964)

Today’s Readings:

Jesus said to his disciples: “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You have faith in God; have faith also in me. In my Father’s house there are many dwelling places. If there were not, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? (John 14)

Prayer Meditation: O Lord, You have prepared a place for us with You and the Blessed Mother and all the angels and saints! How could we ever be troubled? We are Your instruments to lead souls to You- nothing we give You, no matter how little and insignificant it may seem, is wasted when united in love to You Jesus!

O Lord, just a little while no matter what it is, and You will restore and strengthen us because You bring all things together for good for those who are in You!

CASTING OUR CARES ON HIM

Feast of Saint Mark, Evangelist

Casting Our Cares On Him

I, your Master, will care for you. I will free you from every worry. I only want to be everything to you so that nothing ties you to the earth. You can see by My solving your problem, your heavenly Father knows what you need.” (Jesus) (April 20, 1964)

Today’s Readings: So humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God,
that he may exalt you in due time.
Cast all your worries upon him because he cares for you. (1 Peter 5)

Prayer Meditation- O Jesus, You free us from all of our fears and worries if only we cast our cares on You! O Lord let us with humility and joy make You our everything- let nothing keep us from You because You are bigger than all of our fears! Jesus we trust in You!
