| Sword of the sufferer L.C. study See: Sword of the sufferer, Benedict XVI *Sword -part II  Sword of the Sufferer II -audio version 11/12/11 David and Goliath: How could it be that the little one who could not wear the armor of the mighty warriors defeats the giant? The ways of God are never the ways of the world. He was wearing the armor of God and he possessed the power of God. He trusted in God with the innocence of a child. God defeated the enemy through His humble vessel so that all glory is given to God not man. The enemy will be conquered and all things will be made new but never in the ways of the world. God has chosen to give the sword of righteousness to His little mustard seed. The sword of the mission is the power of God that will pierce and conquer the dragon. You must remain little, insignificant and innocent drinking the pure milk of the words I bring to you (1 Peter 2). Believe, My little ones, believe that the God of heaven and earth has chosen you for the decisive battle. * Live with the innocence of a child the mission given to you. Be little, pure and humble, be nothing, and it is I Who will do the impossible. Trust with the innocence of a child.* Believe in the power of My Cross and the power of My precious Blood, for it is only through the Triumph of My Cross that all darkness will be conquered. Live, love and suffer as ONE with Me and you will become the sword that will pierce this darkness. 1 Peter 2:1-5 1 Rid yourselves of all malice and all deceit, insincerity, envy, and all slander; 2 like newborn infants, long for pure spiritual milk so that through it you may grow into salvation, 3 for you have tasted that the Lord is good. 4 Come to him, a living stone, rejected by human beings but chosen and precious in the sight of God, 5 and, like living stones, let yourselves be built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 1/29/10 *Persevere in Christ in midst of suffering, bring me victim souls Your lives in My crucified love become the sword of righteousness. Bring Me many victim souls for the battle at hand. My little ones I need you .To suffer with Me is to be made pure like Me... 11/2/1 "I'm forming you as My warriors of love" The armor you put on is to protect you from being overcome and conquered by the enemy, but your sword is what has the power to pierce the enemy and conquer it. To put on the armor of light, to put on your Lord Jesus Christ (Rom. 13:12,14) is to become the Sword of the Spirit. I have been leading you through the passage of union with your Crucified, union with the Word of the Cross. It is in this union in which you enter your Crucified, beginning at the foot of the Cross with Mary, that your lives become the Sword of the Spirit. These are the warriors that will fight the decisive battle and have the power of God to conquer the dragon. I desire each of you to become ONE with the Sword of the Spirit through My Cross. Ephesians 6:10 Romans 13:12: "Put on the armor of light"; 13:14 "Put on the Lord Jesus Christ" R ev. 21:5 "Behold, I make all things new"21:9-11 "Come, I will show you the Bride, the wife of the Lamb. And in the Spirit he carried me away to a great, high mountain, and showed me the holy city Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God, having the glory of God, its radiance like a most rare jewel, like a jasper, clear as crystal." (jasper is reddish brown like blood) 21: 21 "And the twelve gates were twelve pearls, each of the gates made of a single pearl, and the street of the city was pure gold, transparent as glass." *Pure vessels radiate Christ 10/7/11 Just as clear glass is filled with any liquid and you can see clearly through the glass the liquid inside, you are called to be My clear, pure vessel. You are chosen to hold My precious Blood. My Blood is My life. My Blood is healing fire. Therefore, first, My vessel must be emptied and purified. This is what I have been accomplishing in you at My feet and in My pierced side. It is now in My Sacred Heart, in the furnace which is the fire of the Holy Spirit, that you are formed as My living chalices. My fire purifies all blemishes and tarnishes. You are of pure glass but when filled with My precious Blood you radiate to the world the golden light of the Holy Spirit. My Blood always heals, restores, refreshes and brings new life. Therefore, the gaze of your eyes will radiate pure love. The touch of your hands will heal and your words will pour forth the wisdom, knowledge and understanding of God. This is how you put on your Lord, Jesus Christ, so that you are the light of the world. My little ones, help Me and My Mother form many victims of love radiating the pure love of the Trinity. Conchita's Diary (Dec. 19, 1896) In God purity is natural. God is as it were a crystal without a flaw and, I understand but cannot explain it. Nothing less than this divine transparency is capable of reflecting the image of the Most Holy Trinity. God is light, God is clarity. God is transparency. The Lord told me time and time again that God's essence is purity itself for purity is the essence of light, of clarity and limpidity. Where purity appears, there shines out the reflection of God, that is, His holiness. From this hearth of eternal purity, which is God, springs light, clarity and limpidity. It is not purity which springs from light, but light which springs from purity. That is why, in pure souls, the light of the Holy Spirit is clearly seen" . Conchita, Philipon pg 149 Sandra Clark Jesus took on the darkness of the sins of the mind, the thoughts and the eyes. I remember seeing a documentary on the shroud of Turin that said one of his eyes was probably pierced. The sin of pornography, which enters through the eyes, into the mind and then seeps into the heart making it dark. This darkness makes it's abode in the heart. It dwells there and it stays there. When a mother of the cross takes on one of these types of thorns, she takes on this darkness by which she lifts it from the soul. As the darkness is lifted, grace can enter the heart as fire which purifies. The person may experience repentance which is the beginning of healing. At the same time, the MOC is suffering with Jesus, consoling Him and alleviating the immense heaviness He feels from this suffering. She is also making reparation. In addition, the Mother of the Cross is being purified because this experience causes her to suffer. The wounds of these thorns are cleansing. Her suffering their lack of purity makes her purity increase. Blessed Mother Theresa, in a similar fashion, experienced the darkness of not feeling God's presence. She shared in Jesus' suffering of feeling abandoned AND she took on the darkness of the poor who lived without the knowledge of God. She was able to give them His light. As her darkness increased, the more she radiated His light. By suffering as a victim intercessor for the poor and dying she could lift the darkness from their hearts therefore helping them to be able to receive God's grace. THE CROSS, PURE LOVE This is "The Sword of the Sufferer", Part III Cenacle, 11/22/11, Weeping over Jerusalem "it is hidden from your eyes". If we don't recognize Jesus as Lord we cannot see what makes for peace. We must COME TO THE FOOT OF THE CROSS to remove the plank from your eyes that keeps us from contemplating the glory of God in Christ Crucified. 11/16/10 WHAT MAKES FOR PEACE? (Homily of Pope Benedict XVI, Sword of the Sufferer) ...the most precious contribution we can make to the cause of peace is that of prayer. Jesus Christ is a meek and humble King. King of the anawim, of those whose hearts are free of the lust for power and material riches, free of the will and the search for dominion over others. It is not the sword of the conqueror that builds peace, but the sword of the sufferer, of he who knows how to give his very life. THE CROSS: "Jesus is the poor king among the poor, meek among those who desire to be meek. In this way, He is the king of peace, thanks to the power of God, which is the power of good, the power of love. He is a king who causes the chariots and charioteers of battle to disappear, who will shatter the bows of war; He is a king who will bring peace to fulfillment on the Cross by joining heaven and earth, and by throwing a bridge of brotherhood between all peoples. The Cross is the new bow of peace, the sign and instrument of reconciliation, of forgiveness, of understanding, a sign of the love that is stronger than all violence and oppression, stronger than death: Evil is conquered with good, with love." "In his own flesh he abolished the law with its commands and precepts, to create in himself one new man from us who had been two and to make peace, reconciling both of us to God in one body through the cross, which put that enmity to death." (Ephesians 2: 15-16) PURE LOVE Pure love is of far greater apostolic fecundity than the most outstanding works accomplished with less than love. It is at the eve of life, in silence and isolation, in prayer and in sacrifice, that Godfs Mother attains her maximum of love and her fullness of apostolic fecundity in the service of the Church of Christ, just as Christ Himself did not save the world in the luster of His Word and of His miracles, but on the Cross.(Conchita: A Motherfs Spiritual Diary p. 181) The purest love on earth must be united to suffering "My daughter, the purest love on earth must be united to suffering. I came from Heaven to Earth to suffer in expiation for the sins of the world. This is love. Pure love gives itself solely because of love. The love of the Trinity is pure love, therefore, the Father gives His life by giving to the world His only begotten Son. The Holy Spirit flows from this most pure love, thus igniting the hearts of souls to suffer with Me so that they can enter in Love. The Cross without My Sacred Heart is useless suffering brought about by sin. But suffering united to My Cross is new life; it is participation in the work of redemption which is participation in the life of the Trinity. These mysteries can only be grasped by a humble heart, therefore, you must call My sons first to repentance at the foot of My Cross to receive the gold of precious repentance. Be still My daughter, for it is the pure suffering of the Mothers of the Cross that I will use to pierce the harshness of My sons' hearts. Suffer all with perfect faith in My crucified love." (1/13/11) You (LC) are Our true contemplatives of the Cross and the oasis of Our suffering Hearts. I cry tears of blood because My Heart profusely bleeds with so many thorns. It is your hands, as you suffer all with Jesus, that removes so many thorns that cause Us to suffer. It is you (LC) that the Father is most pleased with. The hands of the priests are the hands of My Son who come to me to remove these thorns that cause me so much suffering. The hands of purity remove these thorns but purity in every act, purity in every thought, purity in every desire It is not busyness with so much to do that consoles our Hearts but pure love in every act, thought and desire. The Missionaries of the Cross, above all, must be PURE and the hands of Jesus removing the thorns that pierce my Heart. Teach this SIMPLE PATH OF HOLINESS Jesus and I are leading you in to all. Remain steadfast in your mission and share the treasures you are receiving with all. (5/16/11) It is through the "treasured pearl of suffering" that our Lord called us to "receive" that we are able to PARTICIPATE in our Spouse's redemptive suffering. It is in this participation of SUFFERING WITH HIM that we come to KNOW LOVE and LIVE IN LOVE! We enter the fire of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, which is PURE LOVE, the love of the Most Holy Trinity, through the passage of suffering all with Him. This is the life of true *victim souls; the life of pure love, and this is the "PURE LOVE" our Lord says will conquer the darkness that is consuming the world. * Why do I desire and need for you to suffer with Me? It is through My suffering that you come to know Love. Love is purified in suffering, but My suffering is pure love, therefore, when you suffer with Me your love is purified in Me. This suffering with Me and loving with Me brings new life, a new creation. Allow all suffering to draw you into My sufferings and sorrows and in this way you will come to know Love. My Sacred Heart is pure love. You were created for Love, but how few, My little one, come to know Love and enter the joy of living in Love. Satan and the principalities of darkness have been conquered by My crucified love. The triumph of My Cross, which is the triumph of Love, will come to fullness through My martyrs of love. This is your mission: to raise up many martyrs of love for the decisive battle at hand. (8/27/11) The mission of Love Crucified is to raise up many martyrs of love for the decisive battle at hand. The MC must call with great courage and zeal their brother priests to lay down their lives as My victims of love. They must call them to love, the love that I revealed to the world. The pure love of poverty, chastity, sacrifice and mortification. The extreme love of God found only in the Cross. (9/13/11)
