Eucharistic Experiences

 I have been discerning for quite sometime about posting this, but I feel Our Lord desires this because of the lack of faith in the Church and in our world.  I begin with my coming into the Catholic Church in Jan. 1993.  This is offered for your discernment.  Your are free to believe or not to believe, but be sure that what I have written is what I have experienced in truth and from my heart.  Some of this is copied from my notes and other is written from memory:


This particular writing is written from memory on March 12, 2018:  I had been drawn to Adoration before the Blessed Sacrament for some time prior to coming into the Church.  One day I had been in the Adoration chapel at St. Paul of the Cross in North Palm Bch., FL and while in prayer, I saw interiorly a vision of Jesus standing in before the Monstrance with His hands out towards me and said to me, “Come to me.”  I understood immediately what this meant and went to one of the Priests and told him what I experienced.  He told me he wanted me to come into the Church right away, and he set the date for January 12, 1993 – my dad’s birthday. I had a choice to either go with my family to my dad’s birthday party or give myself to Jesus.  I chose the latter, much to the dismay of my family.  There were very few people at the Church – only my husband, a few friends, and two of our Priests. The Bishop was not present, but the Priests had his permission for the ceremony.  (March 14, 2018 – (two days after what I have written above) During my Adoration hour today, I was reading from the book “In Sinu Jesu” and read: “How often did I say to my disciples, ‘Come to me.’”  Once again I thank Our Lord for this confirmation!)

Sat. June 5, 1993 – Adoration chapel St. Josephs Church, Stuart, FL (pg. 12 of my notes)

During Adoration a shape of a heart, a faint redish color, appeared in the lower left corner (facing the Host) of the Host.  This heart was not visible when I first came into the chapel, but only appeared as I was praying while looking at the Host.  I was alone in the chapel.  (As I had entered into the Catholic Church in Jan. of this year, only 5 months prior to this experience, I wasn’t aware that the Blessed Sacrament could not be left alone which happened many times at this church during my visits for Adoration).  When the heart appeared, I went directly in front of the large Host to see if it was possibly a reflection coming from somewhere, but as there were no windows or anything that could have caused this, knelt down before the Host and prayed.  My mind kept thinking how perfect the shape of the heart was – I just kept saying this to myself over and over.  Then while praying I heard in my interior, “By My cross and resurrection, I have saved you.”

1993 – St. Josephs Church, Stuart, FL

During the Mass I felt a coldness in the Church which I did not usually feel as when I enter a Catholic Church I can feel the presence of God, but this day that presence was not there.  As I was so upset, a thought came to me that perhaps I should leave the Church as I felt God was not present in this Church, but I remained there.  As the Priest elevated the Host during the Consecration, I saw a bright light just to the left and above the Host which seemed to draw slowly into the Host.  Upon seeing this, I felt tremendous peace within me.

April 9, 1994 – St. Josephs Church, Stuart, FL – the day before Divine Mercy Sunday

Once again I had the feeling of my soul being elevated and during the Consecration surrounding the Host was a bright light especially on the left side.  I doubted what I was seeing and a thought came to me that it was a reflection from the windows.  Then when the Priest consecrated the Precious Blood, rays of light came from the top of the chalice.

May 28, 1994 – St. Paul of the Cross, North Palm Bch., FL

During the Mass there was a fragrance of roses around me especially when I approached the altar during Communion.  I felt a presence to my left side as I received Jesus.

Tues. 3/28/95 7:30AM - Adoration Chapel at St. Paul!s

While praying with my eyes closed, a bright light filled my vision. From the light I saw what appeared to be a very large chair with a high back and side arms. It was as though looking through a fog of light. I then could see, very vaguely, an outline of a person engulfed in the light. The light was very bright and I could not see clearly at all. At first I thought my mind conjured up a great sight! then began to think of Our Heavenly Father and fell into a prayer to Him. I then said to Him, "How can people not know that you are their Father, our Daddy. How can they think of you as being anything other than that (thinking about all the people that call Him Father-Mother, not recognizing Him as their Father). " I still thought that this was my imagination as I continued seeing this vision before me. It startled me to hear Him say to me, "Love them as I love them." I then thought that this was possibly S. trying to trick me so I immediately prayed to cast out any evil spirits, but it just stayed there before my eyes. A little while later He said,  “The veil will soon come down.”  For some reason I didn't want to listen as I could feel that He was going to say something else, so I began praying again. He again said, "The veil will soon come down. Then you will see wonders as you have never seen. " Moments later He said, I Am,(slight pause)Yahweh. "  All of this must have taken about 20 minutes. It was as if in slow motion. His voice was so very tender and loving! He spoke very slowly and clearly. My body felt as though I were no longer there in the chapel, but when someone came in the door, I was aware of their presence After I left the chapel, throughout Mass and for some time later, my body felt "numb". I have felt the peace of Our Lord before, but never anything quite like this. During Mass at the elevation of the Host, I saw a light come out of the back of the Host, facing Fr. Art. After communion, extremely bright lights were flashing in my head mostly coming from the right side and many shadows appeared.  


The next night (3/29/95), my husband asked me for this message and while reading it said he didn’t understand what “The veil will soon come down” meant.  He had just prayed for an answer when a Bishop speaking on EWTN showed a picture of Pope Leo NIII. There was a lady in the picture who was wearing a veil on her head - her hands were on the veil looking as though she were going to pull it down over her face. The Bishop went on to explain that this represented a death approaching or that Rome or a civilization was coming to an end, or that there was going to be a new time approaching.

 Sunday, April 2, 1995 – St. Paul of the Cross

This morning at Mass just after the Consecration, I saw the face of Jesus to my left (my eyes were closed at the time).  His head was surrounded with a crown of thorns; His cheeks sunken and hollow; His eyes staring above me and over my right shoulder.  The vison seemed to be in black and white, but I saw very clearly His eyes not staring at me, but past me and very, very sad.  He did not speak, but it came to me that reparation needed to be made for all who receive Him in a state of mortal sin.

April 26, 1995, early AM – St. Paul of the Cross

Jesus told me that I would feel His presence in a special way this day.  The moment I knelt down before Him in the Adoration chapel, I could feel great power coming from the Blessed Sacrament.  This power filled my entire being; my vision was filled with bright lights that seemed to flash inside my head.  The entire day I felt the presence of Our Lord and continuously praised Him.  It was as though He was with me the whole day and night.  My body seemed to float wherever I went.  Thank you, Jesus for this grace!

August, 1995, Adoration chapel St. Paul of the Cross

I saw an image of Jesus on the Cross and my heart was broken with sorrow for what He was suffering – the loss of souls.  He spoke to me of His suffering and said that we are still not listening.  He allowed me to fell just a drop of His sorrow and thanked me for my tears.  I continued to cry most of this day!

Friday, Sept. 1, 1995 Adoration chapel

I asked Our Lord to increase the love in my heart.  He replied that love does not come without suffering and asked if I were willing to suffer.  After I replied, I felt Him very happy.  He then said to me, “I want you closer to Me.  I will lift up your soul to Me.”  At that moment I felt myself being drawn towards the Host.  It seemed that my body remained kneeling where it was a but another part of me was moving towards the Host. (impossible to explain!) My body was completely immersed in peace.  In spirit I kissed the face of Jesus and then felt I had done something bad.  He told me to always kiss Him as this pleases Him very much and is consoles Him.

Dec. 17, 1996 – Immediately after receiving Holy Communion, I became totally absorbed in His Love and almost could not take one step forward to return back to my seat.  I guess it was my Angel that returned me because I certainly was incapable.

Wed. Jan. 29, 1997 AM – St. Paul of the Cross, North Palm Bch.

Just before Mass I was in the Adoration chapel and saw a vision of Jesus standing at a distance from me and could feel that He was very angry.  I thought His anger was directed to me and I racked my brain trying to understand what I could have done to offend Him so much.  Suddenly I saw a very large bowl in His hands and it looked as though He were about to pour it out.  I could no longer look at Him as I felt His terrible anger.  Then I saw Mother Mary standing off to His right side looking at Him and I ran to Her dropping to the ground besides Her.  I called to Her, but She did not answer nor did She look at me but continued to look at Jesus.  I called again and She said very softly, “Son.” – nothing more.  The bowl then disappeared, but Jesus’ anger did not abate. I left the chapel for Mass and at one point during the Mass, I heard very loudly as to echo through my heart, “They are still not listening!”  I have been disturbed by this all day – I am writing this at 2:45PM in the chapel as I returned for Adoration this afternoon.

The next day:  I know how strange what I have written above seems, and if I had not felt His anger I would have thought this to be my imagination.  I feel that it is only through Mother Mary that God’s anger lessons at all!  Today I do not feel His presence and my soul seems as though in total darkness.  I have been thinking about what Jesus said to me on Monday about His bitterness – while praying the Divine Mercy Chaplet I gathered the courage to tell Him, “Pour your bitterness into me my sweet Jesus – it is for love of you and because I know that you love me!”  The most bitter suffering for me is to not feel His presence!

Thurs. Jan. 30, 1997 – St. Paul of the Cross

I began thinking about the vision I had yesterday and thought to myself that if this were from God then why was I so very upset all day long. As I began thinking that this may have been a trick of satan, I asked though the intercession of Luisa Piccarreta for confirmation that it was from Our Lord and not my imagination. During the Mass after receiving Holy Communion, I suddenly found the infant Jesus in my arms- oh, what great joy I felt!  I pressed Him to my heart and kissed the tears that ran down His little face.  As we prayed the Rosary after Mass, it was my turn to pray a decade, which so happened to be the Nativity.  What a beautiful gift I was given – a most beautiful meditation while I held our Jesus in my arms!  After the Rosary, I went to Sr. Maureen’s class which was to be about the prayers of the Mass. Before beginning class, she asked everyone to meditate on the infant Jesus and to see God the Father watching His Son. I immediately understood that this was an answer to my prayer.  Thank you, Jesus, Mary and Luisa!

Friday, Jan. 31, 1997 – St. Paul of the Cross

 (I do not want to write about this but am doing so in obedience to my Jesus who has told me to write everything because His words and actions through me are "so simple as to melt even hardened hearts".) When I awoke this morning, I felt Holy Mother's presence and felt as though she were right besides me. During Mass after receiving Holy Communion, I felt Jesus place His forehead upon mine (this happens to me often when I am looking at the picture of the Shroud of the Holy Face). He seemed so very sad and asked that I remain with Him this way all day to console Him. I have remained in His presence thus even up to when I am writing this. During the Rosary after Mass (we were praying the Sorrowful Mysteries of the scriptural rosary), He remained with me in this special way and spoke to me during each scripture verse. He said how sad He is over how many souls He suffered for in vain. Other things I remember Him saying "The church will walk to Calvary as I did. " "As the veil in [he temple was rent in two, so will my church be. " My heart would have broken with sadness if I were not so happy over feeling Him so very close to me in this way! How can anyone reject Him who loves us so much? During each of the Our Fathers, Jesus looked up towards Heaven, but I did not hear His voice, I only felt Him praying with me to God our Father.

There is so much I would like to explain but am totally incapable and only through the Grace of God, if it so pleases Him, can I explain any of these things at all!

End of April, 1997 – Before receiving Communion, I prayed that Our Lady would be with me when I received Her Son in the Eucharist, that Her arms would be in mine to hold Jesus together with me, to embrace Him for everyone, that Her heart be in mine that we might love Him for everyone, that Her lips be in mine that we might kiss Him for everyone.  After received Communion, I felt Our Lady completely enfold me in Her mantle. It was as though She was within me, and we held Jesus together embracing and kissing Him for everyone.

Monday, April 28, 1997 – After receiving Holy Communion, I felt my body become very heavy as if I were being weighed down.  I felt this very much in my heart and it seemed to me that I could feel another heart beating within mine.  I do not know or understand this grace I was given and am not able to describe it.

July 15 1997 – It is not possible for me to describe the graces I receive from Our Lord, especially after receiving Communion.  I can only say that I feel Jesus very alive within me, but there are no words to explain this experience.

Nov., 1997 – Divine Will Conference, Rome GA – After receiving Communion, I saw Jesus within me, and resting my head upon His, I became totally lost in Him.  Suddenly my heart was overcome with sorrow.  I understood from this that He was sharing with His sorrow and tears.  How does one explain these graces?

July 8, 1999 – After receiving Communion, in an instant I understood that the Eucharist Reign of Christ will be within our souls (we will see Him with the eyes of our souls) – that this is NOT an exterior reign; we will become as living Hosts.  I understood so much but it is impossible for me to explain the understanding that was given to me in that moment.  Just after this I heard very clearly within me, “And you will see Me as I AM!”

July 27, 2001Just after receiving Communion, I seemed to see within me little Jesus, who was about 3 or 4 years old.  He ran towards me very excitedly and put out His hand towards mine.  Taking my hand in His, He said to me, “Come!”  I thought to myself that He wanted to show me something very beautiful as He was so excited.  We seemed to come across a very large field.  Then pointing towards the field He said, “Look!”  I looked out and saw a sea of bodies lying everywhere.  They looked so sad and broken.  He then said to me, “They need healing.”  I replied to Him, “But Jesus, there is nothing I can do for them.” He replied, “You will heal them with your heart, my Lynne.”  At that moment my heart became very heavy and I felt as if it could have broken for the sorrow I felt for them.

Aug. 30, 2001 (written the next day) Yesterday morning at Mass, I felt as if I were being held or surrounded by someone.  I felt our Heavenly Father speak to me saying, “I hold you in my arms.”   I cannot describe the feeling that came over me – I almost felt weightless (this feeling remained with me the entire day).  I felt incredible peace.  Then I heard, “Clothed in the garment of My Son you will be.”  After receiving Communion, it seemed to me that our Heavenly Father was so pleased to have His arms around me – as it was no longer me but His Son He was holding!

Friday, Feb.1, 2003 – Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament:  After receiving Holy Communion, I saw Jesus interiorly as sitting upon my heart as if on a throne; His back towards me, looking out, with something like a rod (a scepter?) in His right hand.  He spoke to me saying, “It is from here I will reign”.  He suddenly turned into a little child of about 3 or 4 years old, but remain sitting there upon my heart with the rod in His hand.  Jesus then spoke saying, “I will reign in those who love me.”

Nov. 1, 2013 – Before Mass began, I experienced someone before me (interiorly) and I was trying to pull something out of his hands.  It seemed as though I were fighting with this person for whatever it was that I had been trying to get, and that I became very strong in fighting for it.  After receiving Communion, I saw the entire earth was placed in my hands and I offered it to God loving Him and thanking Him for myself and for all, for all that He has given to us on earth and in the entire universe – I was praying the rounds of Creation. 

Written today, Jan. 2, 2014 – (This happened sometime in November, but I failed to write it because of my doubts, but since that time I think about this and it brings me to tears, so I write because Jesus wants me to):  Just before the Consecration of the Mass, little Jesus, who seemed to be about 2 years old, came into my thoughts, and suddenly I saw Him enter into the Host at the Consecration, coming from the right side of the altar.  After receiving Communion, I felt the Host form only what I can describe of as a soft ball, and I could feel a heartbeat on my tongue which I continued to feel even as I consumed the Host.  I felt great inner peace, but as I thought about what a great grace I had been given, I began to cry.  My Jesus, you have given me so much and what do I give You?  All I can give you is my nothingness.

June 12, 2015, St. John Neumann Church – This morning as I knelt down before Mass began, I seemed to feel the heart of Jesus beating from within the Tabernacle.  As Mass began, I found that it was the Feast of the Sacred Heart today which I had forgotten about.

The Bread of the Divine Will

 


THE BREAD OF THE DIVINE WILL

John 6:31-35 - Our fathers did eat manna in the desert, as it is written: He gave them bread from heaven to eat. Then Jesus said to them: Amen, amen I say to you; Moses gave you not bread from heaven, but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is that which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life to the world. They said therefore unto him: Lord, give us always this bread. And Jesus said to them: I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall not hunger: and he that believeth in me shall never thirst.

John 6:38 - "Because I came down from heaven, not to do my own will,

but the will of him that sent me."

 

Book of Heaven, Vol. 11, Sept. 25, 1913

I told the confessor that Jesus had said to me that the Will of God is the center of the soul; that this center is in the depth of the soul, and that, spreading Its rays like sun, It gives light to the mind, sanctity to the actions, strength to the steps, life to the heart, power to the word and to everything; and not only this, but also that while this center - the Will of God - is inside of us, so that we may never escape from It, and so as to remain at our continuous disposal, never leaving us alone or separated even for one minute - at the same time, It is also in front of us, on our right, on our left, behind and everywhere, and It will be our center also in Heaven. The confessor was saying, instead, that the Most Holy Sacrament is our center.

 Now, on coming, blessed Jesus told me: “My daughter, I had to make it in such a way that sanctity might be easy and accessible to all - unless they did not want it - in all conditions, in all circumstances and in every place. It is true that the Most Holy Sacrament is center; but who instituted It? Who subdued my Humanity to enclose Itself within the small circle of a Host? Wasn’t that my Will? Therefore my Will will always have primacy over everything. Besides, if everything is in the Eucharist, the priests who call Me from Heaven into their hands, and who are in contact with my Sacramental Flesh more than anyone, should be the holiest and the most good; but instead, many of them are the worst. Poor Me, how they treat Me in the Most Holy Sacrament! And the many devout souls who receive Me, perhaps every day, should be as many saints if the center of the Eucharist were sufficient. But instead – and it is something to be cried over - they remain always at the same point: vain, irascible, punctilious, etc. Poor center of the Most Holy Sacrament, how dishonored It remains! 


Book of Heaven, May 2, 1923

“My daughter, oh! how well your acts done in my Will harmonize. They harmonize with mine, with those of my beloved Mama, and one disappears within the other, forming one single act - it seems like Heaven on earth, and the earth in Heaven; and the echo of one in three and of three in one, of the Sacrosanct Trinity. Oh! how sweet it sounds to Our hearing, how it enraptures Us, but so much as to capture Our Will from Heaven to earth. And when my ‘Fiat Voluntas Tua’ has Its fulfillment ‘on earth as It is in Heaven’, then will the complete fulfillment of the second part of the Our Father take place - that is, ‘Give us this day our daily bread.’ I said: ‘Our Father, in the name of all, I ask You for three kinds of bread each day: the bread of your Will, or rather, more than bread, because if bread is necessary two or three times a day, this one is necessary at each moment, in all circumstances. Even more, it must be not only bread, but like balsamic air that brings life - the circulation of the Divine Life in the creature. Father, if this bread of your Will is not given, I will never be able to receive all the fruits of my Sacramental Life, which is the second bread we ask of You every day. Oh! how my Sacramental Life feels discomforted, because the bread of your Will does not nourish them; on the contrary, it finds the corrupted bread of the human will. Oh! how disgusting it is to Me! How I shun it! And even though I go to them, yet I cannot give them the fruits, the goods, the effects, the sanctity, because I do not find Our bread in them. And if I give something, it is in small proportion, according to their dispositions, but not all the goods which I contain; and my Sacramental Life is patiently waiting for man to take the bread of the Supreme Will, in order to be able to give all the good of my Sacramental Life. See then, how the Sacrament of the Eucharist - and not only It, but all the Sacraments, left to my Church and instituted by Me - will give all the fruits which they contain and complete fulfillment, when Our bread, that is, the Will of God, is done on earth as It is in Heaven.”

“Then I asked for the third bread - the material one. How could I say: ‘Give us this day our bread’? In view of the fact that, as man would do Our Will, what was Ours would be his, and so the Father would no longer have to give the bread of His Will, the bread of my Sacramental Life and the daily bread of natural life, to illegitimate, usurping, evil children, but to legitimate and good children, who would share in the goods of their Father; it is because of this that I said: ‘Give us our bread.’ Then will they eat the blessed bread; everything will smile around them, and Heaven and earth will carry the mark of the harmony of their Creator. “

“After this I added: ‘Forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.’ So, charity also will be perfect. Then will forgiveness have the mark of heroism, as I had it on the Cross - once man has eaten the bread of my Will as my Humanity ate it. Then will the virtues be absorbed into my Will and receive the mark of true heroism and of divine virtues; they will be like many little rivulets which will gush forth from the bosom of the great sea of my Will.”

“And if I added, ‘And lead us not into temptation’ - how could God ever lead man into temptation? - it was because man is always man, free in himself, since I never take away from him the rights I gave him in creating him; and he, frightened and fearful of himself, tacitly cries out, and prays without expressing it with words: ‘Give us the bread of your Will, that we may reject all temptations; and by virtue of this bread, deliver us from every evil. Amen.’”

 “See, then, how all the goods of man find again their connection, the tight bond of the ‘Let Us make man in Our image and likeness’, the validity of each of his acts, the restitution of the lost goods, as well as the signature and the assurance that his lost happiness, both terrestrial and celestial, is given back to him. Therefore, it is so necessary that my Will be done on earth as It is in Heaven, that I had no other interest, nor did I teach any other prayer but the ‘Our Father’. And the Church, faithful executor and depository of my teachings, has it always on Her lips, and in every circumstance. And everyone - learned and ignorant, little and great, priests and lay people, kings and subjects - all pray to Me that my Will be done on earth as It is in Heaven.”  

 

Book of Heaven, January 10, 1926

“My Will makes Its way in the seed, as It makes the earth receive it, giving it the virtue of making it germinate and multiply. It performs Its crafting by calling the water to water it, the sun to fecundate it, the wind to purify it, the cold to make it take root, the heat to develop it and make it reach the proper maturity. Then It gives virtue to the machines to cut it, to thresh it, to grind it, so as to be able to give it the substance of bread; and calling the fire to cook it, It offers it to the mouth of the creature, that she may eat of it and preserve her life. See, then, how long a way and a crafting has my Will done in that seed; how many things It has called over that seed, to make it reach, as bread, the mouth of creatures! Now, who gives the final step to the way of my Will, and the fulfillment of the final act of my Supreme Volition? One who takes that bread and eats it as bearer of the Divine Will within it; and as she eats that bread, she eats my Will in it, to increase the strengths of her body and soul, as the Divine Will’s fulfillment of everything. The creature, one can say, is the center of the rest to which my Will aspires in all the ways and crafting It makes in all created things, in order to reach the creature.” 

 

Book of Heaven, July 4, 1927

“My daughter, just as in the sacramental host there are the little accidents of the bread, and your Jesus hides inside of them, alive and real – and as many Jesuses for as many as are the hosts - in the same way, in the soul there are the accidents of the human will, not subject to being consumed like the accidents of my Sacramental Life, and therefore more fortunate and more solid. And just as the Eucharistic Life multiplies in the hosts, so does my Divine Will multiply my Life in each act of the human will, which, more than accident, lends itself to the multiplication of my Life. As you were making your will flow within Mine and wanted to give Me to each one, so was my Will forming my Life in yours, and from Its light It released my Life, giving Me to each one, and – oh! how happy I felt that the little daughter of my Will was forming so many of my Lives in the accidents of her will, to give Me not only to animate creatures, but to all things created by Me. So, as I was multiplying my Life, I felt I was constituting Myself the King of all: King of the sun, of the sea, King of the flowers, of the stars, of the heavens – in sum, of everything. My daughter, one who lives in my Will possesses within herself the fount of the source of the Sacraments, and can multiply Me as much as she wants and in whatever way she wants.”

 

Book of Heaven, September 15, 1929

My daughter, the first who will do my Divine Will and will live in It, will be like the yeast of Its Kingdom. The many knowledges which I have manifested to you about my Divine Fiat will be like the flour for the bread, which, in finding the yeast, becomes fermented – as much flour as one puts in. But the flour is not enough – it takes the yeast and the water in order to form the true bread, to nourish the human generations. In the same way, the yeast of the few who live in my Divine Volition is necessary to Me, as well as the multiplicity of the knowledges about It, which will serve as the mass of light that will give all the goods which are needed in order to nourish and make happy all those who want to live in the Kingdom of my Divine Will. Therefore, do not worry if you are alone and few are those who know, in part, what regards my Divine Will; as long as the little portion of the yeast is formed, united to Its knowledges, the rest will come by itself.” 

 

Book of Heaven, May 10, 1931

“My daughter, just as the yeast has the virtue of fermenting the bread, so is my Will the fermentator of the acts of the creature. As she calls my Divine Will into her acts, they remain fermented by It, and form the bread of the Kingdom of my Will. Now, in order to make much bread, the yeast is not enough, but it takes much flour; it takes someone who must do these acts of uniting flour and yeast; it takes water, bond of union to be able to knead flour and yeast, so that the yeast may communicate the fermenting virtue, and the flour may receive it. Then it takes the fire, to cook this bread, to form it as nourishing and digestible bread. Now, does it not take more time, more acts, to form it, rather than to eat it? The sacrifice is in forming it; as for eating it, it is done quickly, and one feels the taste of the sacrifice. So, my daughter, the yeast of my Divine Fiat, which has only the virtue of fermenting your acts, emptying them of the human will in order to convert them into bread of Divine Will, is not enough, but it takes a continuation of acts, of sacrifices – and for a long time, in such a way that my Will, with Its fermenting virtue, will ferment all these acts so as to form much bread and keep it prepared and in store for the children of Its Kingdom. When everything will be formed, what is left is to dispose the events; and this is easier, and is done quickly, because it is in Our power to move the secondary causes in order to do what We want. Did I not do likewise for Redemption? My long thirty years of my hidden life were like the yeast in which all my acts were fermented, to form and ferment the great good of Redemption. The short life of my public life and my Passion was my fermented bread that my Divine Will formed and fermented in my acts which, like bread, I broke for all and gave to eat, so that all might receive the bread of the redeemed ones, to acquire the necessary strengths to put themselves in safety. Therefore, give yourself no concern; think of doing your duty and letting not one of your acts escape in which you do not put the yeast of my Divine Will, so that your being may remain fermented by It; and I will think of all the rest.”

On the Holy Will of God

 From the Diary of St. Faustina:

“There is one word I heed and continually ponder; it alone is everything to me; I live by it and die by it, and it is the holy will of God.  It is my daily food.  My whole soul listens intently to God’s wishes.  I do always what God asks of me, although my nature often quakes and I feel that the magnitude of these things is beyond my strength.  I know well what I am of myself, but I also know what the grace of God is, which supports me.” #652

Eight-day retreat, Feb. 4, 1935:

“I am surprised that you still have not completely renounced your self-will, but I rejoice exceedingly that this change will be accomplished during the retreat.”

“During this retreat, I will strengthen you in peace and in courage so that your strength will not fail in carrying out My designs.  Therefore, you will cancel out your will absolutely in this retreat and, instead, My complete will shall be accomplished in you. Know that it will cost you much, so write these words on a clean sheet of paper: “From today on, my own will does not exist,” and then cross out the page. And on the other side write these words, “From today on, I do the will of God everywhere, always, and in everything.”  Be afraid of nothing; love will give you strength and make the realization of this easy.”  #372

Faustina:  Particular interior practice; that is, the examination of conscience.  Self-denial, denial of my own will.

1.       The denial of my reason. Subjecting it to the reason of those who represent God to me here on earth. (The Church!)

2.      The denial of my will.  Doing the will of God, which is revealed in the will of those who represent God to me…

3.      The denial of my judgment.  Accepting immediately and without reflection, analysis or reasoning all orders given by those who represent God to me.

4.      The denial of my tongue.  I will not give it the least bit of freedom, but in one case only I will give it complete freedom; that is, in proclaiming the glory of God.  Whenever I receive Holy Communion, I will ask Jesus to fortify and cleanse my tongue that I may not injure my neighbor with it.

“I desire that you live according to My will, in the most secret depth of your soul. #443

In Confession, Fr. Sopocko told Faustina:  “There are three degrees in the accomplishment of God’s will; in the first, the soul carries out all rules and statutes pertaining to external observance; in the second degree the soul accepts interior inspirations and carries them out faithfully; in the third degree, the soul, abandoned to the will of God, allows Him to dispose of it freely, and God does with it as He pleases, and it is a docile tool in His hands.”  #444

“I am the Mother to you all, thanks to the unfathomable mercy of God.  Most pleasing to Me is that soul which faithfully carries out the will of God.”  She gave me to understand that I had faithfully fulfilled the will of God and had thus found favor in His eyes.  “Be courageous.  Do not fear apparent obstacles, but fix your gaze upon the Passion of My Son, and in this way you will be victorious.”  #449

Faustina:  Now I understand well that what unites our soul most closely to God is self-denial; that is, joining our will to the will of God.  This is what makes the soul truly free, contributes to profound recollection of the spirit, and makes all life’s burdens light and death sweet.

One evening while walking in a garden cemetery, Faustina asked interiorly, “You are very happy are you not?”  Then she heard the words, “We are happy in the measure that we have fulfilled God’s will.”   Faustina:  I became introspective and reflected for a long time on how I am fulfilling God’s will and how I am profiting from the time that God has given me.  #515

Faustina:  Before All Souls Day, I went to the cemetery at dusk.  Although it was locked, I managed to open the gate a bit and said, ‘If you need something, my dear little souls, I will be glad to help you to the extent that the rule permits me.’ I then heard these words, “Do the will of God; we are happy in the measure that we have fulfilled God’s will.”#518

“…all creatures,, whether they know it or not, and whether they want to or not, always fulfill My will.”  #586

Faustina: Jesus bent toward me, looked at me kindly and spoke to me about the will of the Heavenly Father.  He told me that the most perfect and holy soul is the one that does the will of the Father but there are not many such, and that He looks with special love upon the soul who lives His will.  And Jesus told me that I was doing the will of God perfectly… “and for this reason I am uniting Myself with you and communing with you in a special and intimate way.”  God embraces with His incomprehensible love the soul who lives by His will.  #603

Faustina: The essence of the virtues is the will of God.  He who does the will of God faithfully, practices all the virtues.  In all the events and circumstance of my life, I adore and bless the holy will of God. The holy Will of God is the object of my love.  In the most secret depths of my soul, I live according to His will.  I act exteriorly according to what I recognize inwardly as the will of God.  Sweeter to me are the torments, sufferings, persecutions and all manner of adversities by divine will than popularity, praise and esteem by my own will.

Pope Benedict XVI - "Jesus tells us that it is only in conforming one's own will to the divine will that the human being attains his true greatness, that he becomes 'divine'; it is only by going out of himself -- only in his 'yes' to God -- that the desire of Adam and of us all is fulfilled -- that of being completely free. This is what Jesus accomplishes in Gethsemane: by placing the human will within the divine will the true man is born, and we are redeemed."

From the Diary of Blessed Conchita de Armida:  Jesus: 'I had no other food… from the first moment of my Incarnation than this divine will. It is through it I came into this world, through it I was raised above the earth to consummate my life in the cruelest of martyrdoms, …it then soothed My agony. It was My sole solace, while on earth. I would have suffered death a thousand times to fulfill it. Divine and active Love burned in My heart, had as its main motive to carry out the divine will on behalf of man. The Redemption was naught but the faithful accomplishment of this divine will. Its echo sounds constantly in the depths of My most loving heart, causing it to throb for the salvation of souls and the glorification of My Father.'

The Transfiguration

 


THE TRANSFIGURATION

 “When Jesus will return in His divine glory and appear to all humanity, each one will be called to undergo the same experience as Peter, James and John underwent on Mount Tabor, because Jesus will manifest Himself in His splendor and his humanity will be completely transfigured in the most brilliant light of His divinity.”   Our Blessed Mother to Fr. Gobbi, “To the Priests, Our Lady’s Beloved Sons”,  Marian Movement of Priests, #597 Aug. 6, 1997

Book of Heaven, Volume 21 - March 22, 1927

“My daughter, when the sun rises, it dispels the darkness and makes the light arise.  It changes the humidity of the night, with which the plants are so invested as to become oppressed, numb and melancholic; but as the sun rises, it turns that humidity into pearls, studding everything – plants, flowers and all nature.  Its silvery halo brings back joy and beauty, taking away the torpor of the night; and with the enchantment of its light, it seems to take all nature by the hand, in order to vivify it, embellish it, and give life to it.  The sea, the rivers, the springs, are frightening, but it makes the variety and the vividness of their colors stand out.

In the same way, as my Will rises, all the human acts are invested with light; they take their place of honor in my Will, and each one receives its special shade of beauty and the vividness of the Divine colors, in such a way that the soul is transfigured and enveloped with an indescribable beauty.  As the sun of my Will rises, it puts to flight all the evils of the soul; it takes away the torpor produced by passions; even more, before the light of the Divine Fiat, the very passions lap up that light, and aspire to convert into virtues, to pay homage to my Eternal Will.  As It rises, everything is joy.  And even the pains, which, like seas at night, are frightening for the creatures - if my Will rises, It puts to flight the night of the human will, and removing every fear, It forms Its golden background in those pains.  With Its light, It invests the bitter waters of the pains, and crystallizes then into a sea of sweetness, in such a way as to form an enchanting and admirable horizon.

The Wheels of Eternity

 

THE WHEELS OF ETERNITY

 Ezekiel 1:15:

 +verse 15  “Now as I looked at the living creatures, I saw a wheel upon the earth (1) beside the living creatures, one for each of the four of them. (2

 (1) Book of Heaven, volume 12, 1/1/20“My daughter, My Will is wheel, and whoever enters into It remains so circumvented inside as to not find the opening to leave.  Moreover, everything that she does remains fixed to the Eternal Point and opens in the Wheel of Eternity.” 

(2)  CCC#1138“...all creation (the four living beings)...”

 

+verse 16  As for the appearance of the wheels and their construction: their appearance was like the gleaming of a chrysolite; and the four had the same likeness (1), their construction being as it were a wheel within a wheel. (2)

 (1)  Book of Heaven, Volume 13, 2/2/22: “Now, the little wheel that was in the center seemed as though it were a little sun-wheel; Jesus admiring Himself within it, so as to see whether His adorable Person would reappear in its entirety in the sun-wheel; His Person reappearing in it, Jesus was very happy....”

 (2)  Book of Heaven, Volume 16, 9/21/23“My daughter, this circle is my Eternal Will that embraces the great wheel of Eternity.  All that is within this great circle is none other than all that My Humanity did in the Divine Will to impetrate that my Volition be fulfilled on earth as in Heaven.”

 

+verse 17  “When they went, they went in any of their four directions without turning as they went. 

 Book of Heaven, Volume 17, 8/14/24“My daughter, do you want to move always about in my Volition?  Oh, with what longing and with what love do I wish for you to go always around in my Volition!  Your soul will be the little wheel; my Will will supply you the spring to make you go around speedily without ever stopping.  Your desire will be the point of departure from where you want to leave, which way you want to take, if it is in the past or the present, or if you wish to delight yourself in future ways.  It will be as you choose.  You will always be dear, and you will give Me the greatest delight no matter which point of departure you select.”

 

+verse 18  “The four wheels had rims and they had spokes and their rims were full of eyes round about.”

 Book of Heaven, Volume 14, 8/29/22“Imagine a wheel: the center is my Humanity; the spokes are everything I did and suffered.  The circle  (the rims) where all the spokes unite is the human family (full of eyes) which revolves around the center.” 

 

 +verses 19-20  “And when the living creatures went, the wheels went beside them; and when the living creatures rose from the earth, the wheels rose.  Wherever the spirit would go, they went, and the wheels rose along with them; for the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.”

 Book of Heaven, Volume 14, 8/12/22“....this wire of your human will shall fuse into My Will in the great wheel of eternity; it shall reach to all places and will be encountered everywhere.”

 

+verse 21  “When those went, these went; and when those stood, these stood; and when those rose from the earth; the wheels rose along with them (1); for the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels (2).

 (1)  Book of Heaven, Volume 16, 2/2/24:  “This happens as in a machine where there is a prime wheel and many other little wheels fixed around itAs the prime wheel moves, the little wheels receive their motion; but they never touch the prime wheel, nor do they know anything of what it does of the good it contains.  On the other hand, another little wheel, which is not fixed, goes around by means of a mechanism for all the wheels, in order to find itself in each motion of the prime wheel and again do its round.  Now this little wheel, going around, knows what there is in the prime wheel and takes part in the good it contains.  Well then, the first wheel is My Will; the fixed wheels are the souls abandoned to themselves which render them immobilized for doing good; the wheel going around is the soul that lives in My Will; and the mechanism is total abandonment in Me.  Thus, each lack of abandonment is a round that one loses in the ambience of Eternity....”

 (2)  Book of Heaven, Volume 13, 10/21/21“Eternity turns you around like a wheel, so that you take part in everything and nothing escapes from you; all of this is so that my Will is honored and fully glorified in you.”

 Book of Heaven, Volume 13, 2/4/22:  “My daughter, the souls that live in my Will are the little wheels that turn in the great wheel of Eternity.  My Will is the motion and the life of the never-ending wheel of Eternity.  As these souls enter into my Volition to pray, to love, to work, etc., the wheel of Eternity makes them turn in its endless circumference; in that wheel they find everything that has been done and must be done, everything that should have been done and is not done.  Oh, how beautiful it is to see a soul enter into my Volition!  As it enters, the great wheel of Eternity gives it a rope to make it turn in the massive structure of the wheel, and the small wheel undergoes eternal turns.  The rope of the great wheel puts it into communication with all the divine ropes; as it turns, it does whatever its Creator does.”  “As the soul enters into my Will - even by a simple acceptance, or an abandonment - I give it a rope to make it turn.  It turns as many times as minds think, as creatures give glances, as they speak words, as they take steps and accomplish works; they turn at every divine act, at every movement, at every grace that descends from Heaven: in other words, at whatever is done in Heaven and on earth, they turn.  The turns of these little wheels are quick and rapid;  consequently, they are incalculable to themselves.

 

Revelation 21:15-16

“And he who talked to me had a measuring rod of gold to measure the city (Isaiah 60:14: “they shall call you the City of the Lord...”) and its gates and walls.  The city lies foursquare, its length the same as its breadth.

 Zechariah 2:5-6

“And I lifted my eyes and saw, and behold, a man with a measuring line in his hand! Then I said, ‘Where are you going?’.  And he said to me, ‘To measure Jerusalem to see what is its breadth and what is its length.’”

 The Book of Heaven, Volume 13, 2/2/22:

Luisa: “This morning, my ever amiable Jesus came, all goodness and sweetness; He had a rope around His neck and in His hand an instrument...”  Then He removed the rope from His neck and placed it on my own;  He then fastened the instrument in the center of my person.  A measuring device that turned by a small wheel in the center of the instrument was measuring my entire person, to see whether all the parts were equal.  He was very careful to observe whether the measuring device, as it turned around, found a perfect equality.  Having found this equality, He gave a sigh of great joy, saying: ‘If I had not found it equal, I would not have been able to accomplish what I want.’”  Now, the little wheel that was in the center seemed as though it were a little sun-wheel; Jesus admiring himself within it, so as to see whether His adorable Person would reappear in its entirety in the sun-wheel; His Person reappearing in it, Jesus was very happy.....”At that very moment, there descended from Heaven another little wheel of light that was similar to the one that was in the center of my person; but it did not detach its rays from Heaven.  They became jointed together, and Jesus placed them in me with His most Holy Hands.”  Acts done in my Volition will turn always in the never-ending wheel of eternity, so as to make themselves life, light, and warmth for everyone.”

 Jeremiah 17:18:  “The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord:  ‘Arise and go down to the potters house, and there I will let you hear my words.’  So I went down to the potter’s house, and there he was working at his wheel.  And the vessel he was making of clay was spoiled in the potter’s hand, and he reworked it into another vessel, as it seemed good to the potter to do.”

The Maccabees

 (Please note that this is just my opinion through prayer and discernment.  Lynne)

On May 6th, 1977 at 3AM, Ida Peederman (Our Lady of All Nations) heard interiorly, “Read the Maccabees!”  (The book of 1Maccabees is about three great leaders, heads of the Jewish people and “rulers of high Priesthood” (Popes?), Judas Maccabeus and his brothers Jonathan and Simon.  The high point of the book is reached with a description of the rededication of the temple.  2 Maccabees is not a continuation of 1 Mac., but concentrates on the period of about fifteen years, chapters 1-7.  The story reads more like a sermon than a history.  Several passages refer to particular doctrines, e.g. the resurrection of the body (7.9,11; 14.46) rewards and punishments after death (6.26); prayers for the dead (12.42-45); the intercession of the saints (15.12-16).

 Then on May 31, 1977 Ida was told, “Now the Maccabees are coming forth!”

(Take note the date of May 31st - Ida’s book tells us that the Fifth Dogma will be pronounced by the Holy Father on May 31st, but does not give a year)

                       After reading 1 Maccabees, and this is what I seemed to understand:

                       1.  The date that Jesus told Ida, “Now the Maccabees are coming forth!” was in 1977.  Our Holy Father (Pope John Paul II) became Pope in 1978.  Therefore, we can assume that Our Holy Father parallels Judas Maccabeus, the first brother (1Mac. 2:66-68) “Judas Maccabeus has been a mighty warrior from his youth; he shall command the army (Our Lady’s army!) for you and fight the battle against the peoples (evil).  You shall rally about you all who observe the law and avenge the wrong done to your people.  Pay back the Gentiles in full (those who are against God, atheists, etc.) and heed what the law commands.” 

                       2.  1Mac. 2:29 - “Then many who were seeking righteousness and justice went down to the wilderness to dwell there....”  

                 On May 31, 1978 (again on the 31st of May - only in 1978), Ida saw a vision of several large buildings; one she recognized as the side wall of the Vatican.  The other buildings were Seminaries and Universities.  From all these buildings she saw priests and clergymen coming out who’s faces looked like foxes, wolves and hyenas.  Jesus said to her, “They are those who have led My people into the wilderness and have broken up My Church.”

             3.  In 1Mac 3:35, it speaks of a “remnant” of Jerusalem (the Church) under Judas Maccabeus.  Our Lady tells us of a remnant in the church today!

                4.  There are several places you will read about days of celebration which just happen to be on the 25th of the month (Medjugorje) and the 13th of the month (Fatima).  There is also mention of the Feast of Tabernacles (1Macc. 10:21) which we know is the Feast of Booths - which is one of the unfulfilled Jewish feasts.  The Feast of Booths in the Old Testament was when the Israelites would go up to the mountain in tents, and by swaying palm fronds they would call in the Holy Spirit.  Just before this is mentioned about this Feast, (1Mac. 8:23). It implies that the Christians and Jews will unite - “May all go well with the Romans and with the nation of the Jews at sea and on land forever.” 

             If you will read the books on Maccabees, you will recognize much about the situation in the church today, and also many passages that parallel what is written in the New Testament.  After Chapter 7, it seems to go into more future events.  If in fact Judas Maccabeus is paralleling Pope John Paul II, then in Maccabees you will see that there will be only two more Popes after our Holy Father. (St. Malachi predicted the amount of Popes the church would have, and it is estimated that after John Paul II there will only be two more Popes!)

 Mon. Feb. 1, 1999 - The Gospel today was from Hebrews 11:32-40 - all about the Maccabean persecutions.

 As I sat listening to the Gospel, I seem to understood that Jesus’ comment to Ida, “Now the Maccabees are coming forth!” was not only intended to represent the Pope’s (the leaders in the battles), but also the faithful; the remnant who will remain faithful to Christ, to the Holy Father and to the Gospel.  We are fighting a war - one that cannot be seen, but a spiritual war.  Soon, another war will come - that against the person of the anti-Christ and those who will stand with him.

 This is from the Marian Movement of Priests, “To The Priests”:

 #384, 6/11/88:  “In these times in the Catholic Church, there will remain a little remnant who will be faithful to Christ, to the Gospel, and to its entire truth.  The little remnant will form a little flock, all guarded in the depths of my Immaculate Heart.  This little flock will be made up of those Bishops, priests, religious and faithful who will remain strongly united to the Pope....”

#384, 6/29/88:  “...Pope John Paul II.  He is my Pope.  He is the Pope who has been formed by me in the depths of my Immaculate Heart.  He is the Pope of my great light, in these times of greatest darkness.

            “The heart of the Pope is bleeding today because of one Bishop of the Holy Church of God who, through an arbitrary episcopal ordination carried out against his will, is opening up a painful schism in the Catholic Church.  But this is only the beginning.”  “The hour has come when there must appear, in all its force and its splendor, the great army which in silence and in hiddenness, I have been forming for myself during these years in every part of the world...”  “Thus, there is beginning to be delineated clearly the plan of the little flock, which will remain faithful to Christ and to his church, guarded whole and entire in the garden of my Immaculate Heart.”

 

“Read the Maccabees!”
