The Love of Christ Urges Us On (2 Cor. 5:14)

Through the epistles of St. Paul to the Romans and 2 Corinthians, this teaching elaborates on a message from Jesus given on June 13th, 2025, by explaining the formation of God’s holy ones for the decisive battle that has begun.

The Love of Christ Urges Us On (2 Cor. 5:14)

6/19/25

My little one, you have been chosen for these times to bear witness to Me, your God Savior, who is present in the world, bringing to completion the redemption of humanity. I Am Love, and I will never desert My people. You are God's people because you have listened to My voice (Jer 7:23, 11:4, Exodus 23:21, Ps 81:11, Is 32:9, Mt 17:5, Jn 10:16, 18:37, Rev 3:20) and heeded My words (Jer 26:5).

Jeremiah 11:3-5

You shall say to them, Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Cursed be anyone who does not heed the words of this covenant, ⁴ which I commanded your ancestors when I brought them out of the land of Egypt, from the iron-smelter, saying, Listen to my voice, and do all that I command you. So shall you be my people, and I will be your God, ⁵ that I may perform the oath that I swore to your ancestors, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as at this day. Then I answered, “So be it, Lord.”

(see message 8/10/23) Be docile and perfectly obedient to My every Word. Live in perfect faith and hope in the God who loves you and is walking with you these perilous times, never to abandon you, but rather lead you into the land of milk and honey. )

Few believe, but you and My little mustard seed have believed and responded with great generosity of heart. God will use His little ones to confound the mighty ones of this world (2 Kings 19:26, 1 Maccabees 3:6, Ps 35:4, Is 19:3, 20:5, 33:9, 37:27, 45:16, Jer 49:23, Acts 9:22), for the ways of God are not the ways of the world. It is a time of deep silence, for you each will be guided by My Spirit. Be attentive, be still, and listen to Me, your God, and I, as I did with the Israelites, will guide you through the darkness of these times into the Light of God's new era of peace. Live in gratitude and continuous praise in the darkness, for your God is with you and continues to guide you. Be ready to lay down your life for Me, if that is the Father's plan for you,(I understood that some of us will be called by God to lay down our lives, but not everyone)with joy and peace in the perfect knowledge that you are My saints of these end times. Never deviate from the truth that I am with you and love you. Your focus must be on the salvation of souls and the conversion of sinners. Live your daily lives as a continuous prayer offering. There will be great devastation, and entire nations will collapse, but then will come the new springtime (I saw small green seedlings rising from the ground), a new world order of people who know Me and love Me. Therefore, have courage and persevere in suffering all with Me in the perfect hope of what is to come because your God and Savior loves you and will never disappoint you. (Rom 5:3-5) 6/13/25

The Mystery of Suffering

-       Romans 5:3-5

-       2 Corinthians 1:4  “who consoles us in all our affliction,”

1:5-6  “For just as the sufferings of Christ are abundant for us, so also our consolation is abundant through Christ. 6 If we are being afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation”

·      Luz Solis’s testimony amid great physical suffering:

It’s an outpatient surgery, and they will insert a needle in my back and absorb the cyst that is compressing the nerves in my leg and is giving me the most pain. I have united to Jesus so much these months … my adoration has been a true source of grace for me and for so many ( Jesus has given the grace to believe it with all my heart) I intercede for our community everyday, for graces for each, and our families and territory of souls… for all my brothers and sisters by name and their territory of souls… I have been interceding for all and for Jesus’ Mercy with the souls in mortal sin. This suffering has been a source of so much grace, love, and redemption. I have to give thanks to Jesus for it. I

4:10-12  “always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be made visible in our bodies. 11 For while we live, we are always being given up to death for Jesus’ sake, so that the life of Jesus may be made visible in our mortal flesh. 12 So death is at work in us, but life in you.”

5:14-15  “For the love of Christ urges us on, because we are convinced that one has died for all; therefore all have died. 15 And he died for all, so that those who live might live no longer for themselves, but for him who died and was raised for them.”

6:4-10 “but as servants of God we have commended ourselves in every way: through great endurance, in afflictions, hardships, calamities, 5 beatings, imprisonments, riots, labors, sleepless nights, hunger; 6 by purity, knowledge, patience, kindness, holiness of spirit, genuine love, 7 truthful speech, and the power of God; with the weapons of righteousness for the right hand and for the left; 8 in honor and dishonor, in ill repute and good repute. We are treated as impostors, and yet are true; 9 as unknown, and yet are well known; as dying, and see—we are alive; as punished, and yet not killed; 10 as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing everything.”

Jack’s Testimony

I have been hearing in prayer that God is allowing this retirement as such a blessing to me, my family, the LC community, and many souls. My first thought was that I needed to prepare in a rushed manner to seek another job. I quickly put together a résumé, a LinkedIn account, and an Indeed account, and reached out to many, including job recruiters. I was a bit consumed, I received a phone call from Fr. Ron that really started me to enter prayer about what the will of the Father really was for me and my family. Then, over the next few weeks, we took our son to Boot Camp, took a trip to Georgia to go hiking and spend time as a family, rafted down a river, took some hiking trips, and then had a week with my daughter and grandkids in SC. The teachings, the recent cenacles, etc., have allowed the Holy Spirit, at least for now, to show me. My focus is not to seek other employment, but to be content with what I have in retirement and focus my time on prayer, the Eucharist, the LC teachings, and to enter silence without distractions or fear of job loss, but to live in peace, love, and joy. I love you and all the mothers and know that this time that God is giving me, this gift, will be a continuous Fiat to remain in the cloister of Mary‘s Heart to live each day in the Father’s Will.

Fr. Ron reminds us of Jesus’ message from last Thursday:

We are in difficulties on all sides, but never cornered (We are afflicted in every way but not crushed). These words, which we read from St. Paul in 2 Corinthians 4:8, are mirrored in the messages just given to the LC community. Jesus speaks about wars and great destruction, but He concludes strongly, reminding us that the focus of our attention must remain rooted in His Eucharistic presence, centered within us.

1 John 4:4 “Little children, you are from God, and have conquered them; for the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.”
