Valuable Lessons from the Book of 1 Samuel, Part 2

This reflection brings to light the immensity of God’s desire to bless all His children with an overabundance of graces from His Fatherly Heart, and His profound grief, when instead we choose our self-destruction.

Valuable Lessons from the Book of 1Samuel, Part 2

1/29/26

God is perfect love, goodness, tenderness, infinitely patient, and infinitely merciful. He chose Saul to be king. He loved Saul as His beloved son. God did not destroy Saul; Saul destroyed himself. Saul's sin of disobedience revealed the condition of his heart. His act of disobedience revealed his pride and arrogance. He set God, the King of kings, aside, for he desired to be God, to have all glory and honor for himself, as revealed also in his envy of David. He desired all power for himself. It was Saul who rejected his God. Therefore, God, with overflowing grief, as a father grieves his son's self-destruction, removed his anointing from Saul. When Saul lost God's grace, he became dust; he became unable to do anything, for the truth is that when we humans are left to ourselves, evil devours us and spreads, for all goodness comes from God. Abba, Father, grieved Saul as his child, and continues as one with Christ, His beloved Son, to grieve the self-destruction of His children who choose to reject His grace.

The Lord has brought us to live the third nail of the crucifixion, and He draws us into the deepest recesses of His Sacred Heart to know and accompany Him in His desolation, which He explains in these words:

My desolation is that I have so few souls who allow Me to fill them to overflowing capacity with the life of the Most Holy Trinity. My Heart breaks in grief because God desires to give His children an abundance of the transforming graces obtained through My death and resurrection, and few souls are open and docile to receive. Their hearts resist the Holy Spirit, whom I sent to prepare your hearts to receive the goodness of God. 12/2/25

Peter and I, as parents of now eight adult children, understand God’s action toward Saul. Peter and I, many years ago, had to act with tough love when one of our sons became rebellious and very obstinate toward the rules of our home and the commandments of God. When the police knocked on our door and told us our son was caught stealing, Peter told the police to take him to jail. The hearts of Peter and me were bleeding with sorrow and worry over our son, gone astray. This very difficult decision my husband made was made out of intense love for our son, knowing that he had to experience the full consequence of his sin, hoping to bring him to repentance and a change of heart.

As we see the wrath of God throughout the Old Testament, we understand that His wrath is His passion to set things right. Msgr. Charles Pope wrote concerning God’s wrath in the article, What Is the Wrath of God?  

In terms of sin, injustice, and anything that hinders the possibility of salvation, God has a wrathful indignation and a passion to set things right. This is part of His love for us. His wrath may be manifested through punishment, disturbance of our conscience, or simply by allowing us to experience the consequences of our sin… The way God does experience anger is not something we can fully understand, but it is surely a sovereign and serene act of His will, not an out-of-control emotion… God does not change; He is holy and serene; He is love. If we experience His wrath, it is on account of us, not Him. God cannot and will not change, so we must be changed, or else we will experience wrath.

The Lord has given us many prophetic messages concerning a time of great destruction for the world and of a great persecution.

Listen and watch, for the world is preparing to set Satan’s plan in motion for the destruction of humanity. Yet, I, too, the God of heaven and earth, have set My plan in motion for the salvation of the world. Soon, you will witness war in your country and great destruction. 5/28/22

I, your God, who loves you, will not abandon you during the time of the great destruction. You will suffer greatly, for the chastisement of the world will touch all people, but you, My little ones, will persevere in faith and hope because I am your God and will remain with you. Suffer all with Me as I have taught you for the salvation of many souls, and in time, the new Jerusalem will be established on earth; a time of peace and joy upon the earth to give all glory and honor to God. 5/30/22

Prepare, for the great persecution is upon you. All will suffer during the time of God’s justice. My followers will suffer greatly but will be filled with My peace and joy, for the gaze of our Father will remain upon them. 8/12/14

My little one, the time approaches for the great persecution of My followers. I, as I did with My apostles, disciples, Mother, and friends, am preparing you for this difficult hour. Few will remain faithful, My little one. Judas betrayed Me because his passions had not been purified. His zeal for his desires, power, and riches darkened his soul so that Satan could manipulate him. He became Satan’s instrument of destruction even though he had been in the band of My intimate followers and had continuous access to My Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. This is what will happen again at the final hour. I will be betrayed by those closest to Me, My consecrated souls, because the darkness within their hearts has not been purified, and Satan will deceive them until it's too late. 1/4/2022

Recently, the Lord gave our LC Community a message with another warning, but before He spoke of the warning, He told us of what we have to look forward to as we persevere to the end of the Path, living the third nail of the crucifixion, which fuses our hearts to the Sacred Heart and we love as one with Christ all the enemies of God (5-26-14). Jesus’ messages to us for the Church of destruction and persecution are never doomsday messages; rather, they are messages of hope that always remind us of the era of peace to come, Christ’s Eucharistic Reign, and the Reign of our Blessed Mother. He lets us know that we, too, will suffer, yet His peace will never leave us.

My little one, God continues to call His little ones, for it is always the little ones that listen to His voice. It is always the little ones who recognize My voice spoken through My prophets. Receive My voice as your guiding light this morning for My little mustard seed.

I warn you, My children, whom I love with tears and overflowing gratitude for your willingness to follow Me in the Path I have been guiding you through. Now, we enter the end of My glorious Path, and it’s as if when you come to the opening at the end of a tunnel, the light is intense, bright, and beautiful. This is what each of you will experience as you allow the Spirit to crucify your self-will and empty you of self: you will each become one with the Light of God, God's glorious saints of these end times shining in the darkness of this world God's perfect love.You each will resurrect through Me, with Me, and in Me as the new men and women of My Kingdom on earth. I will be your King, your one and all.

The great and powerful leaders in this world will bring about destruction, for they are being led by the evil one, and will attempt to force you to follow the evil of Satan, but you will persevere in truth, My truth. You will persevere listening to My voice, guiding and leading you to eternal life in the glory of God's consuming light of love. Therefore, persevere to the end with your eyes fixed on Me, with your ears attentive to My voice, and with your hearts set on fire for Me, your beloved Spouse, to die as one with Me, opening the way for God's era of peace. Persevere till the end. 1/17/26

Jesus again speaks to us of the destruction Satan wants to bring about, and that these evil forces will attempt to force us to follow Satan’s deception: The great and powerful leaders in this world will bring about destruction, for they are being led by the evil one, and will attempt to force you to follow the evil of Satan.

As soon as the Lord gave me this message, I immediately remembered the years with COVID. I think that the most valuable lesson I learned from those turbulent years was how evil could be accomplished through fear. Fear paralyzed us, and I thank God for how quickly, through all He had taught us, we were able to process our fear and move through it. We can never forget what happened during those years because that was like a test, a certain first wave preparing the way for more destruction. There were many very loud voices from world leaders and even from the Church, telling us that we had to get the mRNA “vaccine”, for it was the most charitable thing to do. These voices came from all TV networks and social media platforms. The pressure to vaccinate, but also to separate ourselves even from our family members and Church communities, was great. We all truly experienced the force of evil attempting to coerce us to follow the great deception of Satan. The voices of many world-renowned doctors and scientists were silenced and threatened to lose their medical licenses if they spoke against the evil agenda. Many doctors who exhibited immense courage in providing people with alternative medical information were severely punished, and some lost their licenses. Fr. Jordi, during this difficult time, helped protect and defend us by gathering medical information that was not being publicized in most news media. This helped us make wise decisions in accordance with God's will. Family members were not allowed to be with their loved ones in the hospital, which had grave consequences. People could not go to work, businesses were closed, and churches were also closed, while abortion clinics were considered “essential” and could remain open. But, for me personally, the greatest of all tragedies was to witness the multitude of people who stopped going to Mass for fear of getting sick. Jesus in the Eucharist was abandoned.

Five years before this worldwide devastation, the Lord gave me an experience of recognizing the grave sin of indifference toward Jesus in the Eucharist and its consequences. I wrote:

As I adored Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, He allowed me to see Him crying. I was moved to profound sorrow of heart as I gazed at His tears. “Why, my Lord, are you crying?” I asked.

He cries for the sin of indifference to His presence in the Eucharist. He explained that there is an even greater darkness than the darkness of all the evil of the terrorist, and that is the darkness of the indifference to Jesus alive and present in the Eucharist. This darkness leads and opens the way for the darkness of evil to spread and grow. Because of this sin of indifference to His Eucharistic life, we will live a time when we will not have Jesus in the Eucharist.

I then entered the sorrows of my Beloved, and I cried with Him as one with my suffering Jesus. My Lord and my God is not known nor loved… I cried in repentance for myself, for I, too, have been indifferent in the past to my Lord in the Eucharist. It is pure grace and a gift to know Him, adore Him, and love Him as my one and all in the Eucharist. I cried for this grace to be given to many. 3/7/15

Fr. Ron Sciera wrote a poem to our LC Community during those years, filled with great truth and wisdom:

THE GREAT DECEPTION

By Msgr Ronald P Sciera

Before COVID-19 existed, the Gospel of Jesus Christ DID!

It proclaimed Jesus as the Way, the Truth, and the Life,

AND it promised ETERNAL LIFE  

to whoever EATS the Body and Drinks the Blood of Christ (John, Ch. 6).  

There was always a scarcity of

 “Baptized Workers”  

proclaiming this Truth with Zeal and Enthusiasm. 

Today, in a COVID World there is no lack of

“Vaccinated Disciples”

proclaiming from the rooftops the Gospel of the “COVID VACCINE.”

Stating categorically that the COVID Vaccine is Mankind’s only Salvation. 

To openly doubt or question this automatically places you in the realm of ignorance

or a threat to the good and love of your neighbor.

 It is unquestionably proclaimed on every social media platform as

 “the new bread of life.”

If you are placed on “hold” while making a call, a message will automatically begin playing in your ear, stating how available the vaccine is and how easily you can get it, with no cost to you.

It’s the new “manna” that falls freely from the skies.

The Evil One has fashioned a new Golden Calf for mankind to worship for their salvation. 

The Evil One has always excelled in mimicking Christ and deceiving those having

“little faith and great fear.”

The History of the world has proven that when mankind believes more in the

“Word of the Government “than in the “Word of God”

there is a terrible price to pay.

Those who keep the faith may have to suffer equally, or even more, than those who don’t, but our faith will not go unrewarded, 

while sadly, those with misguided faith will not go unpunished. 

Therefore, use your time wisely to nourish and strengthen your faith with

the Word and Sacraments.

Jesus has conquered death and overcome the world

and we

“Through Him, with Him, and in Him” will do likewise.

AMEN

Amid all the chaos and noise, the Lord was guiding us, strengthening us, and speaking to us. On November 21^st, 2021, He said:

…Union with the crucified King is the only path to communion in the Trinity on earth. This is the Kingdom I came to establish on earth. Persevere during the time of great devastation, and you will live My Kingdom on earth as it is in heaven.

(I asked the Lord how to persevere specifically with the issues of the vaccine and mandates…)

Many have received the vaccine to avoid suffering, others because they are clinging to their many attachments, others out of ignorance, but the majority because they did not seriously seek My Will and allowed themselves to be swept away by the many forces of Satan's temptations. Fear in the hearts of the multitude has come to light. This fear reveals the lack of love for Me in the hearts of the vast majority of souls, a love rooted in humility, intimacy, purity, abandonment, trust, and selflessness; therefore, the thief came unexpectedly and was able to enter their homes (hearts) and darken their souls to not recognize the signs of the times. Few, My little one, will persevere during this time of total darkness, which God is permitting as his justice. Remain in silence and prayer, and you, along with my faithful remnant, will participate with Me in establishing My Kingdom on earth. Do not cave in, under any circumstance, to Satan's deception.

I am Cuban American; in 1960, my parents fled Cuba due to communism. I was only two years old. I remember growing up listening to the stories of how Castro, through lies and the great deception of evil, got control of the country. The great deception is always rooted in lies and in twisted truths. They made many promises to the Cuban people, but in the end, the people lost everything, most especially their freedom. Like all communist countries, they are controlled by fear.

The great deception took place worldwide, as never before, through the evil of a man-made virus originating in China. We were lied to and promised that the so-called “vaccine” would protect us, that masks could control the virus, when in effect they couldn't, and all the people who received the vaccine also got the virus. Through this great deception, even our schools were closed, causing great harm to our children. Years later, to this day, the truth of these many lies has come to light, but unfortunately, this evil has caused great devastation to humanity, for deaths by heart attacks, strokes, and cancer have risen drastically. Yet, Google, among others, continues to bury research results and statistics that reveal this devastation. I could go on and on, but what's important is that amid Satan's destruction, God was also working, and He was guiding us, and all his people who were willing to turn to Him in silence and prayer and listen, allowing themselves to be guided by God, who never abandons us. This is why the Lord reiterates in this recent message that we must, persevere to the end with your eyes fixed on Me, with your ears attentive to My voice, and with your hearts set on fire for Me (1/17/26).

I am not bringing this up in any way to judge nor make anyone who chose to be vaccinated uncomfortable, but because we must be prepared when the next stage of destruction that our Lord keeps preparing us for comes. We need to help each other persevere in living the Path, following the voice of God and our Blessed Mother, and living in greater silence and prayer, for God is with us and desires to lead us. When God speaks to us of a great destruction upon humanity, He is not desiring to destroy humanity, for humanity is His creation, which He loves. Humanity, due to its great sin, brings forth its own destruction, just as Saul brought forth his destruction. Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger, in his commentary on the third secret of Fatima, explains the angel with the flaming sword upon the earth:

The angel with the flaming sword on the left of the Mother of God recalls similar images in the Book of Revelation. This represents the threat of judgement which looms over the world. Today, the prospect that the world might be reduced to ashes by a sea of fire no longer seems pure fantasy: man himself, with his inventions, has forged the flaming sword. The vision then shows the power which stands opposed to the force of destruction—the splendour of the Mother of God and, stemming from this in a certain way, the summons to penance. (Theological commentary to the third part of the Secret of Fatima, by Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger (Benedict XVI ))

We continue to live in times of great turmoil and unrest. and divisions within our countries, but also, we are witnessing, for all of us who have come to see the glory of God before us and within us, many conversions worldwide, a Eucharistic renewal worldwide, many young adults, especially men, entering the Catholic Church, and God’s remnant of victim souls also spreading worldwide. Amid great challenges, God promises us that we will each become one with the Light of God, God's glorious saints of these end times shining in the darkness of this world God's perfect love (1/17/26).

All the spiritual accompaniers in our community and I are witnessing the transformation of many of our members into these saints of the end times. We are witnessing ordinary men and women living extraordinary lives. MOC and MC completely surrendered to God in all things, including suffering. They live in praise and thanksgiving continuously because they live in intimacy with Love crucified, and therefore, they have come to know Him, love Him passionately, and serve Him unreservedly! Glory to God forever and ever! Amen
