Peace He Gives Us
Jesus: “Calm down, My little one. There is no reason to lose the peace of your soul over such a question. (Jesus) (September 1, 1964)
Today’s Readings: Jesus said to his disciples: “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give it to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid. (John 14)
Prayer Meditation- O Lord so many things disturb our peace- questions, worries, fears, our own weaknesses and sins. On our own we are shipwrecked. Yet You always bring Your Peace- no matter what questions we have or fears that trouble us. You calm the seas of our souls. Let us call on You Jesus and not let our hearts ever be troubled!

Remind Me
Write down again My teaching which corroborates the teaching of the Holy Father. We have not yet meditated on that, but it is very important. Should you have forgotten about this, then I want to remind you. (Jesus) (February 29, 1964)
Today’s Readings: Today’s Readings: “I have told you this while I am with you. The Advocate, the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send in my name- he will teach you everything and remind you of all that I told you.” (John 14)
Prayer Meditation- Lord, there is a country song called Remind Me about a couple who wants to remember the better times. Lord, You have sent us The Holy Spirit to remind us not only of memories of You but what You are saying to us right now at every moment if we would but listen to Your Voice and harden not our hearts (Hebrews 3:15). Lord You dwell in us- help us to love You more and keep Your Word today and every day!

Only Jesus
Why do you want to know more than you need for
your eternal salvation? (Jesus) (Diary 224)
Today’s Readings: Master, show us the Father, and that will be enough for us.”
Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you for so long a time
and you still do not know me, Philip? (John 14)
Prayer Meditation- O Lord, we who spend time with You should know You better by now! We overthink things and give in to analysis paralysis and jump through all these hoops because we think that is what we have to do to know Your Will but all we really need to do is to trust in You! Especially in these days we read all sorts of things trying to figure it all out- the times we are in and what will happen.. But there is only one thing to know-that is You Lord and You crucified (1 Corinthians 2:2) You do not want us to give in to vain curiosity reading and hearing things that only makes us more anxious but to let not our hearts be troubled or afraid because You are the Way, the Truth, and the Life! (John 14). Lord, show us Your Glory- be with us and never leave! That is all we need to know!

We Are His Instruments- Are We 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!

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!

What He Is Telling Us
This happens day after day, year after year. You do not realize that I, also, am a Man and that you do not have to distance yourselves from Me since you have received Me in your heart. You should speak to Me in simple words. Do not leave Me alone. My Heart yearns for love and confidence. I want you to speak with Me so I can respond with the fullness of My grace. (Jesus) (May 1962)
Today’s Readings: From now on I am telling you before it happens, so that when it happens you may believe that I AM. Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever receives the one I send receives me, and whoever receives me receives the one who sent me.” (John 13)
Prayer Meditation- Lord, You keep telling us what we need in Your Word so that we believe that You are who You are. You have given us everything. Your Word should literally stop us in our tracks if we are truly listening with the heart. May we receive You every day with love and confidence and so that You can pour out the fullness of Your Grace into our hearts through Your Word and through the Sacraments.

Feast of Saints Philip and James
Do We Still Not Know Him?
“Elizabeth, a long time ago, when you did not think of Me, I was always there. I kept you from falling on the icy and slippery road of life. At that time, you did not believe that I was protecting you from so many falls. I was watching closely each footstep you were taking.” (Jesus) (January 26, 1966)
Today’s Readings: Philip said to him,
“Master, show us the Father, and that will be enough for us.” Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you for so long a time and you still do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? (John 14)
Prayer Meditation: Lord, so often we are like Philip. We can even be believers trying to follow You earnestly and still not get it! Because seeing You is seeing The Father- The Good Good Father who not only watches over us but directs our steps even while we make our plans and think we are so in control (Proverbs 16:9). Even when we do not know it, You have been there all along protecting us from so many falls. Lord increase our faith and our trust today so that we can say with confidence that You are God alone and we will love You with all of our heart, soul, mind and strength! (Deuteronomy 6).

Memorial of Saint Athanasius
Encouragement In The Everyday
Jesus: “You are too immersed in earthly things, My little one.” Jesus: “I did not say that to discourage you. I want to encourage you so that you do not seek relief by looking to the earth in your battles. Look only at Me. I want that, while snuggling yourself right against Me and surrendering to Me in your arduous struggles, you never stop looking only upwards.” (Jesus) (February 7, 1963)
Today’s Readings: The news about them reached the ears of the Church in Jerusalem, and they sent Barnabas to go to Antioch. When he arrived and saw the grace of God, he rejoiced and encouraged them all to remain faithful to the Lord in firmness of heart, for he was a good man, filled with the Holy Spirit and faith. (Acts 11)
Prayer Meditation- O Lord, You encourage us in our everyday battles to seek Your Face! Let us rejoice in Your Grace and encourage others to persevere in remaining faithful in their battles! Let us be like Barnabas and be encouragers because we are filled with the Holy Spirit!
The Sanctity of one who lives in the Divine Will is the continued ‘Glory Be’. One who lives in the Divine Will, living up high, must bear the pains of those who live down below.
Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. (Galatians 6:12)
Volume 12-May 1, 1920
My misery makes itself felt more; and in my interior I was saying: ‘My Jesus, what life is this?’ And He, without giving me time to say anything else, immediately answered: “My daughter, for one who lives in my Will, her Sanctity has only one point – it is the continued ‘Glory be’, followed by ‘as it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end.’ There is nothing which does not give glory to God – complete in everything, always stable, always the same, always queen, without ever changing. This Sanctity is not subject to setbacks, to losses – It is to always reign. So, Its foundation is the ‘Glory be’, Its prerogative is the ‘as it was in the beginning, etc.’” As I continued to lament about His privations and the subtractions of suffering – while He gives it abundantly to others – my always lovable Jesus came out from within my interior, and leaning His head on my shoulder, all afflicted, told me: “My daughter, one who lives in my Will lives up high; and one who lives up high can look down below with more clarity, and must take part in the decisions, in the afflictions and in everything that befits people who live up high. Don’t you see this in the world? Sometimes, father and mother, and sometimes also an elder child is capable of taking part in the decisions, in the sorrows of the parents. While they are under the nightmare of sorrowful pains, of uncertainties, of intrigues, of losses, the other little children know nothing about it; rather, they let them play and continue the course of ordinary family life, not wanting to embitter those tender lives, without a useful purpose for them and for the parents. The same happens in the order of grace. One who is little, and still growing, lives down below; and therefore purges are necessary, and the necessary means in order to make him grow in sanctity. It would be as if one wanted to talk about business, intrigues, pains, to the little ones of the family – they would be stunned without understanding a thing. But one who lives in my Will, living up high, must bear the pains of those who live down below, see their dangers, help them, and take such serious decisions as to make one tremble, while they remain tranquil. Therefore, calm yourself, and in my Will we will live life in common; and together with Me you will take part in the pains of the human family. You will watch over the great storms which will arise again; and while they play in the midst of danger, you, together with Me, will cry over their misfortune.”

Life Abundant in Christ
Let Me give you abundant graces which are stored up in the immeasurable love of My Heart. May our souls be in harmony. May our hearts beat in unison. Draw many souls to Me. May our hands gather in unity. When you also are abandoned, I will never abandon you, I will be with you in every difficult situation. Besides, today I will accompany you with the penetrating glance of My eyes. (Jesus) (February 10, 1963)
Today’s Readings:
A thief comes only to steal and slaughter and destroy; I came so that they might have life and have it more abundantly.” (John 10)
Prayer Meditation- O Lord, You have come so that we may have the abundant life You meant for us to have from the beginning of time, that is union and friendship with You! Your love without measure- let us accept this overflow of Love into our hearts so that we may spread it to others that they too will allow Christ to live in them!
