Seek good and not evil so that you may live,
and that the Lord God of hosts may really be with you. AMOS 5:14
ISAIAH 65:17-21
My Soul's Beloved,
These wonderful promises have not been fulfilled in the world in any age past, or in the present one in which we are living. But this is Your assurance to all who believe. Until now, Lord, the world has been divided, and never has it been polarized as it is in the present age. Everyone is their own master, doing whatever pleases them with no regard for Your Word, for the Commandments, or for Your Church.
If we truly desire the creation of new heavens and a new earth, then the whole world, every man, woman, and child must bend the knee before God and confess to Him by the power of the Holy Spirit, that You indeed are Lord. You, O Lord, are the giver of all life. You are the Truth, and our lives must conform to You. You are Love, and this love of God, which is love between Father and Son and is poured out into the hearts of every believer, is the Holy Spirit. Unless we possess the Spirit, we are incapable of living a life of grace and therefore incapable of pleasing God.
When every Catholic desires to see God exulting over the whole world, Lord, when we are determined to put an end to war, and the cries of oppression to end. When we work uncompromisingly to put an end to the killing of children in the womb by abortion. When every Catholic stands up with courage, unafraid to look evil in the eye, and call it out in every single instance, both great and small, and be prepared to die for the Truth. Then, O Lord, will Your Kingdom come among us, and there will be an end to evil. For the blood of those prepared to lay down their lives as You did for us, will give birth to a multitude of believers, and together we will hasten the coming of Your Kingdom.
Thus says the Lord: Now I create new heavens and a new earth, and the past will not be remembered, and will come no more to men’s minds. Be glad and rejoice for ever and ever for what I am creating, because I now create Jerusalem ‘Joy’ and her people ‘Gladness.’ I shall rejoice over Jerusalem and exult in my people. No more will the sound of weeping or the sound of cries be heard in her; in her, no more will be found the infant living a few days only, or the old man not living to the end of his days. To die at the age of a hundred will be dying young; not to live to be a hundred will be the sign of a curse. They will build houses and inhabit them, plant vineyards and eat their fruit.
PSALM 29(30):2,4-6,11-13
I will praise you, Lord, you have rescued me.

PSALM 29(30):2,4-6,11-13
I will praise you, Lord, you have rescued me.
I will praise you, Lord, you have rescued me
and have not let my enemies rejoice over me.
O Lord, you have raised my soul from the dead,
restored me to life from those who sink into the grave.
Sing psalms to the Lord, you who love him,
give thanks to his holy name.
His anger lasts a moment; his favour all through life.
At night there are tears, but joy comes with dawn.
The Lord listened and had pity.
The Lord came to my help.
For me you have changed my mourning into dancing:
O Lord my God, I will thank you for ever.
and have not let my enemies rejoice over me.
O Lord, you have raised my soul from the dead,
restored me to life from those who sink into the grave.
Sing psalms to the Lord, you who love him,
give thanks to his holy name.
His anger lasts a moment; his favour all through life.
At night there are tears, but joy comes with dawn.
The Lord listened and had pity.
The Lord came to my help.
For me you have changed my mourning into dancing:
O Lord my God, I will thank you for ever.
I will praise you, Lord, you have rescued me.
JOHN 4:43-54
Go home: your son will live.
Go home: your son will live.
