Miracles Again

June 20

Wait to hear My Will and then obey.  At all costs obey.   Do not fear.

I am a wall of protection around you.  See this.  To see this with the

eyes of faith is to cause it to manifest in the material.

Remember I long to work miracles, as when on Earth I wrought them,

but the same condition holds good.  I cannot do many mighty works

because of unbelief.

So only in response to your belief can I do miracle works now.

Philip said to him, "Master, show us the Father, and that is enough for us."

Father.  In the same way, it is the nature of the Blessed Virgin to lead us
surely to Jesus.

The Success You Covet

June 19

Follow the path of obedience.  It leads to the Throne of God.  Your treasure,

be it success necessary on the material plane, which will further the work

of My Kingdom, or the hidden spiritual wonders revealed by Me to those

only who diligently seek, this treasure lies at the end of the track.

From one point (a promise of Mine or a Command) to the next,

you have to follow, till finally you reach the success you covet.

All your work for the moment is in the material plane and

the spiritual is only to help the material.  When your material goal is reached

then the material will serve only to attain the spiritual.

Wait

June 18

The world has always seen service for Me to be activity.  Only those

near to Me have seen that a life apart, of prayer, may, and does so

often, accomplish more than all the services man can offer Me.

If man lived apart with Me and only went out to serve

at My direct command, My Spirit could operated

more and accomplish truly mighty things.

of Jesus and the most hidden attractions of His love?  Then seek

Dear Name

June 17

"Jesus."  Say My Name often.  It was in My Name Peter bade the lame man walk.

"In the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth arise and walk."

"Jesus."  The very sounding of My Name, in Love and tenderness, drives away all evil.

It is the word before which all the hosts of evil flee.

"Jesus."  My Name is the call for a lifeline to rescue you from temptation.

"Jesus."  The Name banishes loneliness - dispels gloom.

"Jesus."  Summons help to conquer your faults.

I will set you on high because you have known My Name.

Yes!  My Name - "Jesus."  Use it more.  Use it tenderly.

Use it prayerfully.  Use it powerfully.

Who do you think is the faithful and prudent steward whom the
master will put in charge of his household to give them food?...
Blessed is that servant whom his master finds doing so when
he arrives home.
-Lk 12:42-43

Pray to the Blessed Virgin.  Ask her for the grace to love our Lord as she loves
Him and to remain faithful to Him in life and in death.

Seek Me Early

June 16

Walk in My Way and trust Me.  No evil can touch you.  I am yours as truly

as you are Mine.  Rest in that truth.

Rest, that is cease all struggle.  Gain a calm, strong confidence in that

certainty.  Do not only rest in Me when the world's struggles prove to

much and too many for you to bear or face alone.  Rest in Me when you

need perfect understanding, when you need the consciousness of 

tender, loving friendship and intercourse.

The world, my poor world, flies to Me when its difficulties are too

great to be surmounted any other way, forgetting, or never realizing, that if,

with the same eagerness, those hearts sought Me merely for 

companionship and loving intercourse, many of the difficulties would not arise.

The circumstances, the life, the character would be so altered-so purified,

that those same difficulties would not exist.

Seek Me early, that is the way to find Me.  Early, before I get crowded

out by life's troubles and difficulties and pleasures.

"Glory, Glory Dawneth"

June15

I am planning for you.  Wonderful are My Ways beyond your knowledge.

Oh! realize My Bounty and My Goodness more and more.  The wonder

of being led by Me!  The beauty of a guided life!

These will enter your consciousness more and more and bring you ever

more and more Joy.

You are very nearly at the point when you shall ask what you will and it

shall be done unto you.

You have entered upon a wonderful era- your lives are planned and

blessed by Me as never before.

You are overcoming.  You are counting all things but loss if you can

win Me.  And the promises to him that over-cometh are

truly wonderful, and will always be fullfilled.

May the Lord guide your hearts to the love of God
and to the perseverance of Christ.
-2 Thes 3:5

REFLECTION.  The love of Christ so wounded and
transfixed Mary's Heart that no part of it remained
untouched.  Thus, she fulfilled the First Commandment
in all its extension and without the slightest imperfection.
-St. Bernard

PRAYER.  O Mary, your love for God is greater than the love of all
human beings together.  Teach me to love God with all my heart,

Come and let us reason together....:  If your sins
are like scarlet, they may become as white as snow.
And if they are red as crimson, they become as white
as wool.
-Isa 1:18

REFLECTION.  The greater sinners we are, the more
tenderness and compassion Mary has for us.  The child who has cost
the Mother the most tears is closest to her heart!
-St John Vianney

PRAYER.  O Mary, you are full of compassion for us.  If I should
ever have the misfortune to fall into serious sin, help me to throw
myself upon your loving mercy.
