For God So Loved The World
“My little one, I want that not one soul be damned. You should want this together with me. For this purpose, I place in your hands a beam of light that is the Flame of Love of my heart.” (Mary) (January 15, 1964)
Today’s Readings:
For God so loved the world that he gave his only-begotten Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life. (John 3)
Prayer Meditation: O Lord ,You so loved us and still love us that You have given everything for us so that we will have eternal life. Your love does not change and today is the time of mercy- let us not miss the time of our visitation and let us pray and sacrifice for those who feel so lost right now. May all know that You have loved the world and that those who believe will not be condemned but have eternal life! Lord Jesus, we pray for conversion of hearts and souls!

Believing Heavenly Things
“You guessed right. The strong sorrow that I send you is a longing for your heavenly home. Suffer for those who have no desire for their eternal homeland.” (Jesus)(April 20, 1962)
Today’s Readings: If I tell you about earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you about heavenly things? No one has gone up to heaven except the one who has come down from heaven, the Son of Man. And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, so that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life.” (John 3)
Prayer Meditation- Lord, Heaven can seem so far away. Few of us, when times are good really give much thought to Heaven, and the reality of living in union with You- the truth is we all want our Heaven here. Lord in these times of crisis, many of us may be seeking answers just like Nicodemus. It is during a crisis that we realize how tenuous earthly things really are. Yet there are so many who will struggle to find their eternal homeland as they are stuck in darkness and despair. They do not know that You are knocking at the door of their hearts (Revelations 3) Lord, we know that You have been lifted up to bring all to Yourself ,if we believe and repent, and give our lives to You. We who know this feel this longing more than ever and we can turn even our times of sorrow into a time of offering for the salvation of souls and especially for the dying. Let us use this time as a time of repentance, reparation and preparation because we are just pilgrims passing through to our eternal lives in You!

Solemnity of the Annunciation of The Lord
Fiat
There has never been a time of grace like this since the Word became Flesh. Blinding Satan will shake the world.” (Mary) (September 3, 1962)
Today’s Readings: Mary said, “Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. May it be done to me according to your word.” (Luke 1)
Prayer Meditation- Lord, today we celebrate Our Blessed Mother’s Fiat and we are thankful and rejoice at Her docility to Your Holy Will. Lord we believe that nothing is impossible with You. You became Man in the darkness of this world at the time of the Annunciation and Your Presence has never left us. Like Our Blessed Mother, we must accept Your Will and walk in faith, even when it all just does not make sense. Lord we believe You are up to something in these times, that Your Mercy and Grace have not left us. In fact, this is a time of grace as never before. The world seems shaken but You hold us all in the palm of Your Hand. Let us give our Fiat to Your Holy Will today which is Love and Mercy itself!

Second Sunday of Easter-Divine Mercy Sunday
Amazing Grace How Can It Be?
This is an immense grace. How can I receive it? The grave doubt concerning this grace granted to me and my companion weighs upon my soul. Is this coming from my pride? At other times, it seems that the Blessed Virgin said nothing at all. In one word, I really do not understand. Maybe I doubt because my pride does not allow me to believe. “There is no need to believe everything.” (Elizabeth) (September 7-8, 1962)
Today’s Readings: Thomas answered and said to him, “My Lord and my God!” Jesus said to him, “Have you come to believe because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed.” (John 20)
Prayer Meditation- O Lord, today is Divine Mercy Sunday. We thank You, we bless You, we adore You and we glorify You! Because today if we have gone to confession and have repented of our sins, receive You in a state of Grace today, venerate Your Divine Mercy image and completely trust in You all our sins will not only be forgiven but even the temporal punishment due to our sins is removed. Are we hearing You Lord- our sins will be totally gone! Gone as if we had a new baptism! And You will never remember them again! (Isaiah 43:25). And yet despite this extraordinary Gift and Grace, how many really receive it in love for the Love that never gives up and never lets go! How many bring our doubts, our fears, our anxieties and hang ups that stop us from really believing that this is true. Or worse, those that remain indifferent and say “we do not have to believe everything”. How many sadly still do not know what Divine Mercy is all about? O Lord, as You told Saint Faustina, Oh, how much I am hurt by a soul’s distrust! Such a soul professes that I am Holy and Just, but does not believe that I am Mercy and does not trust in My Goodness. O Lord, we pray that all who take part in Divine Mercy Sunday tomorrow receive what You have to pour into our souls, Your Divine Mercy, with thanksgiving and love not only for ourselves but as if all received You pleading mercy, salvation, and sanctification of all souls! Jesus we trust in You and we cannot thank You enough!

Until The Whole World Hears
“With this Flame full of graces that I give you from my heart, ignite all the hearts in the entire country. Let this Flame go from heart to heart. This is the miracle becoming the blaze whose dazzling light will blind Satan. This is the fire of love of union which I obtained from the heavenly Father through the merits of the wounds of my Divine Son.” (Mary) (April 13, 1962)
Today’s Readings:
He said to them, “Go into the whole world and proclaim the Gospel to every creature.” (Mark 16)
Prayer Meditation- Lord, You have commissioned us to go out and preach the Gospel to every creature. In this time of present darkness, You have given us even more abundant grace through the Flame of Love Devotion- may the Flame in our hearts become a fire so that every heart will be open to receiving Your Divine Mercy which is the heart of the Gospel! Come Lord Jesus!

It Is The Lord- The God Who Makes Us Breakfast
Jesus: “Since the two of us have been so exhausted, let us eat something hot.” I prepared some hot soup and felt much better. While I was eating, He praised me using few words but much feeling. Jesus: “Is it not true that we now have both gained new strength? I also suffer with you. Could you imagine that I would leave you alone? No! I would never do that. Our souls are always in harmony.” (Jesus) (February 13, 1964)
Today’s Readings: Jesus said to them, “Children, have you caught anything to eat?” They answered him, “No.” So he said to them, “Cast the net over the right side of the boat and you will find something.” So they cast it, and were not able to pull it in because of the number of fish. So the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord.” (John 21)
Prayer Meditation- Lord today we read about another encounter with You, the Risen Lord. The Apostles have gone fishing because it seems they really do not know what else to do. Sometimes is hard to know where we go next Lord when we decide to follow You and have seen Your Glory. And trying to do it all our own way is just exhausting! And yet Lord, You meet us where we are as You see us out there just spinning our wheels. And you don’t criticize us but You come quickly with Your abundance and You care about every single detail of our lives, yes even down to what we will eat and what we will drink (Matthew 6). We can feel confused, lost, empty, and exhausted but we can shout with confidence “It is the Lord!” knowing that You bring life and life abundant! (John 10)

Why Are You Troubled?
I see that you are dwelling on these thoughts, so I will answer your inner questions. Obviously, I do not call everyone in the same manner. I expect more from the one who has received more. But this is not the most important thing for you. The essential is to make sacrifices on behalf of those you want to lead along My road.” (Jesus) (March 11, 1964)
Today’s Readings: “Peace be with you.” But they were startled and terrified and thought that they were seeing a ghost. Then he said to them, “Why are you troubled? And why do questions arise in your hearts? Look at my hands and my feet, that it is I myself. Touch me and see, because a ghost does not have flesh and bones as you can see I have.”
Prayer Meditation- Lord today we see You in the upper room with the Apostles after You have risen. They have no idea what to expect and they feel all of their brokenness and weakness. What will You say- what will You do? Lord we can be startled and terrified in the presence of Your Majesty. But You are not mad us- You are not out to get us! So why are we troubled and why do we question You with such lack of trust in You- the God who bore our infirmities and nailed them to the Cross? Lord, You told St. Faustina that our sins do not wound You as much as our lack of trust does. Jesus, we trust in You and we surrender to You- let us bring all our questions to the throne of Grace!

Were Not Our Hearts Burning Within Us
What would I not give to you? Ask! Just ask! I will make up royally for your lunch. I offer the stream of My Heart’s love to all who discover My hand asking for help. (He confided so much about what concerned me.) Now I fill your heart with the feeling of My Divinity. Oh, that we might gather together as much as possible. (Jesus) (October 18, 1962)
Today’s Readings: Were not our hearts burning within us while He spoke on the way and opened the Scriptures to us? (Luke 24)
Prayer Meditation: O Lord as we walk the road with You may You come along beside us and open the Scriptures to us! Even when we don’t recognize You, You are always speaking to us and knocking on the door of our hearts (Revelation 3). But are we listening or are we stuck in whatever is in our heads- our grief, our fears, our anxieties and our own ideas about You? May You open our hearts to Your Word and may we always recognize You in the breaking of the bread! O Lord our hearts burn within us with the fire of Your Love!

Why Are We Weeping
“It seems to Me that you have forgotten that I already pronounced these words when I was carrying My Cross, and the holy women were weeping for Me more than for their own sins. Again, I ask pious souls to repent. Repent on behalf of others as well.” (Jesus) (November 10, 1964)
Today’s Readings: Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you looking for?” She thought it was the gardener and said to him, “Sir, if you carried him away, tell me where you laid him, and I will take him.” Jesus said to her, “Mary!” She turned and said to him in Hebrew, “Rabbouni,” (John 20)
Prayer Meditation- Lord it is easy in these times to feel a bit like Mary Magdalene. Like the Magdalene, we do not recognize You even though You have never left us and if we listen closely enough, we will be able to hear You softly call our name. Lord, today, fill us with Your Peace and Your Presence which You never deny to anyone who calls to You in faith and let us turn to You and contemplate You truly alive! Alive in our lives and in our world right now. Jesus may we use these times to grow closer to You, rid us of what does not belong to You, as we offer our prayers for the salvation of souls!
