Monday of the Fourth Week of Easter

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!

O Lord, there is no other Name by which we are saved!

WE ARE HIS

Fourth Sunday of Easter

We Are His

“Understand the ardent longing of My Divinity that I want to satisfy here with you. I delight to be with you because I feel that every beating of your heart is Mine.” (Jesus) (February 25,1964)

Today’s Readings: I am the good shepherd, and I know mine and mine know me, just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I will lay down my life for the sheep. (John 10)

Prayer Meditation- Lord, You know us and You call to us- we know Your Voice, the One who loves us and will never leave us. The One who lays down His life for us, the sheep! It is hard to comprehend this kind of Love let alone feel worthy of it. Because it is not about what we have done, but what has been done for us! Lord, today, let us give You our everything, no matter how unworthy we feel so that You can give us Your everything in return- only You can make us whole!

O Lord Your Words are Spirit and Life, where else would we go?

Saturday of the Third Week of Easter

Nowhere Else To Go

Believe Me, you cannot say anything greater or more pleasing to Me. For this I came down from Heaven to redeem souls, so they would have eternal life.” (Jesus) (July 20, 1965)

Today’s Readings: Simon Peter answered him, “Master, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. We have come to believe and are convinced that you are the Holy One of God.” (John 6)

Prayer Meditation- Lord, You give Yourselves to us in Word and Sacrament at each Mass! What was a hard teaching is now the reality of Your Presence in the world. Indeed, where else would we run, where else would we go- only You are the answer to the longings of our hearts! Let us reach out to those who have walked away!

BLINDED BY THE LIGHT

Friday of the Third Week of Easter

Blinded By The Light

My soul, in God’s peace, was filled with thoughts about the good God. I did not even remember my blindness of this morning, and had completely forgotten it. (Elizabeth) (1977)

Today’s Readings: Jesus who appeared to you on the way by which you came, that you may regain your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.” Immediately things like scales fell from his eyes and he regained his sight. (Acts 9)

Prayer Meditation: O Lord, we go through life with scales on our eyes blind to Your goodness- each going our own way until we sink into darkness. Yet You never give up on us! If we need to be knocked down and blinded by life to finally see You it will be allowed- that is how much You love us! Let us forget our former blindness and let the scales fall off of our eyes and begin again in You!

O Lord our prayers are never rejected and You never remove Your Merciful Love for us! Hope never disappoints!

Thursday of the Third Week of Easter

Meeting Us On The Way

Do not be surprised by what I am going to say or the way I will express it. Just so you understand the meaning of My words, I must use expressions that are familiar to you: Both in quantity and in quality, you have responded to the Divine Demands.” (Jesus) (October 23-24 1963)

Today’s Readings:

Philip ran up and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet and said,
“Do you understand what you are reading?” 
He replied,
“How can I, unless someone instructs me?” (Acts 8)

Prayer Meditation- O Lord, You open up the Scriptures to us through the Daily Readings and the teaching authority of Your Church as well as through The Holy Spirit who whispers into our hearts as we meditate on Your Word. Jesus, open our eyes and meet us where we are so that we can respond to Your Grace just like the Ethiopian official- let us skip along the road with joy today as You touch us in Word and Sacrament!

O Lord, You have made us for Eternal Life in Your Divine Will- we love You, we praise You, we adore You!
