A Word for me today

 JESUS SPEAKS

"---- Mine, if you want to be a laborer in My vineyard, keep this in mind - the time for timidity, self-consciousness and selfishness is past.  You have to step out boldly in faith and do all that I ask of you.  Don't look at your inadequacies or like Peter you will sink.  Keep your focus on Me.  I have given you power that comes from on high, the power of My Own Holy Spirit.  He is with You, in You and will remain with You forever."

Matthew 7:6

6 Do not give what is holy to the dogs, or throw your pearls to the pigs: they might trample on them and even turn on you and tear you to pieces.

 My Beloved, there is great wisdom in this verse - but of course You are Wisdom incarnate.  People trample on holy and sacred things because they do not know their value; if they did, they would tremble in fear and shame.

Teach me prudence Lord and grant me the wisdom I need to discern who is ready to receive the treasure You have to give and who is not.

"Thank You my Beloved for speaking with such candor to me today."

GOD IS MY FATHER

 Jonah 3:1-10

" ---- Mine, do not be afraid to announce the message of Good news that I have given in you.  In obedience proclaim the truth without watering it down to make it palatable.  It may or may not cost you your friends - be prepared.  If people hear you and are saved you will rejoice with me and be glad.  If you are rejected rejoice even more for you undergo what I did.  I am a God of compassion I came not to destroy but to restore."

Psalm 51:3,4,12,13,18,19

My Beloved I thank You for the beautiful gift of the Sacrament of Reconciliation where You accept lovingly and compassionately the repentant sinner.  There You wash us in the Blood and Water that gushed forth from Your pierced side.  You gave us once more the joy of being restored to the family of God.  Take my sorrowful heart Lord and accept my contrite spirit.  Make me clean again. 

Luke 10:29-32

My Beloved, You are the sign for the times.  These are the last days when the Father  has spoken to us through You; revealing His unfathomable love for His  poor, weak, sinful creatures.  Yet many reject You - for the few who do accept You, many many more are indifferent, lethargic, unmoved by the love of God made manifest in You - His Beloved and ours.  We have crucified the Heir in the hope of killing the message of self-denial and suffering that come in the shape of a cross.  Truly greater than Jonah, the greatest love that ever was or ever shall be is here and the world snarls its indifference or is cold blooded in its apathy.  Have mercy Lord, have mercy.
