Trust: Will Jesus be Impressed with Yours? Fr. Ronald Sciera – September 13, 2019 Back

The Keys to progress: To see our own misery, abandonment and perseverance It is My souls that willingly see their misery revealed to them by My Spirit [and who respond] with cries and tears of sorrow that touch the Heart of Abba, Father, and He quickly comes to embrace them with His forgiveness through My crucified love. Souls advance from this part of My Path (My feet), depending on their docility to the lights of the Holy Spirit on their many patterns of sin. It is here that My path is most strenuous and difficult because each soul must abandon its will to Me. Letting go of human ways and control is difficult for every soul, but, with each response of genuine effort, God pours forth His mercy upon that soul. The soul that lives wrapped in the gift of knowledge grows in true humility and is then able to advance in My path on the wings of the Holy Spirit. At times, you fall and have setbacks; but do not get discouraged, for these falls are meant to help keep you wrapped in the gift of knowledge, the gift of knowing that you can do nothing without the grace of God. Satan will try to use the tactic of discouragement, making you believe that you cannot continue on this narrow path; it is then that you must beg the Holy Spirit and My Mother to come to your aid, and they will help strengthen you. It is here, at My feet, that you must persevere with great discipline of spirit, because your spirit is weak because the appetite of your flesh is so strong. As your spirit is strengthened, the appetite of your flesh is weakened. Love is the greatest means to strengthen your spirit. As you come to know Me and experience My love, your spirit is strengthened. Many never advance from this beginning stage because of lack of perseverance and eventually enter a different path that is more pleasing to their flesh. This is a deep suffering of My Heart and Mary's Heart. —12/12/11, Simple Path pg.40. Back

Know Who You Are — Intimacy with Christ Know who you are, as John the Baptist knew who he was, and the gift given to him from heaven to accomplish his mission. He was the Bridegroom’s best man (prophet) preparing the heart of the bride (the Church) to recognize, know and love the Bridegroom. When the Bridegroom appears, John understands he must decrease. His joy is made full. ​ You, on the other hand, are My bride, the Church, as one with My Mother, the perfect, pure, holy Bride. Your mission, as one with Mary’s, is to bring souls to the foot of the Cross to contemplate the love of their Bridegroom, to look and gaze at the One who has been lifted up and to be healed, restored and made new. —4/28/11 Simple Path #92 p.257 Back

We continue the pilgrimage to Tepeyac, where Our Lady of Guadalupe came to Juan Diego and to us. The sign at the foot of hill of Tepeyac reads: "Near this place was the cazanuate tree where Our Lady waited for Juan Diego with the miraculous roses and where she touched them." Next to the sign is the Garden of Roses (right photo). Juan Diego climbed the hill, as Our Lady told him, to find the roses Consecration of the Missionaries of the Cross to Our Lady of Guadalupe On Dec 10, 2016, at the foot of the cross that marks the place where Conchita and Fr. Felix witnessed the foundation of the Missionaries of the Holy Spirit, Lourdes and Fr. Jordi, founders of Love Crucified, consecrated the Missionaries of the Cross to Our Lady of Guadalupe. ​ Angels with Mary Angels are not the cute characters of fairy tales . They are powerful warriors through which God works. These warriors are at the service of their Queen, Our Blessed Mother. Four of them - Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, and Uriel - guard the Tepeyac Hill, the holy ground where Our Lady of Guadalupe received Juan Diego and, since then, all her children who com e with faith to her. The Missionaries of the Cross are called to be like them, a strength that is more than muscles; it is an interior fortitude to live the interior mar tyrdom to the en d. Consecration of the missionaries of the cross Mexico 00:00 / 00:50 Above is the Cross that Jesus showed Conchita in a vision, asking her to plant it everywhere as a fountain of grace. His Sacred Heart is at the Cross, Pierced, and produces an explosion of love in the power of the Holy Spirit. Don't just touch Jesus; plant your hand, representing your heart, fully open, vulnerable, trusting, on His Sacred Heart, and be no longer two but ONE... Rejoice in the Lord always! Victim souls reflect the joy of being ONE with Christ and Mary. Members of LC (four visible) descend Tepeyac with the Church of the miracle of the roses in the background.

Allow the Holy Spirit to use your suffering to enter My suffering — Expose the darkness, you will be persecuted You have learned to suffer with Me by allowing the Holy Spirit to use your own suffering to enter My suffering. Through the gold of precious repentance, your heart has been purified, thus allowing you to suffer the sick condition of your brothers and sisters’ hearts with Me. But there is still the deep suffering of My persecution that you must suffer with Me. I am preparing your hearts for this most difficult suffering. When you (myself and the Miss. of the Cross) preach what I desire, you will be condemned and persecuted by many. Will you drink from My chalice to the last drop, My daughter?... They must be willing to expose with great courage and love the darkness that has blinded My ministers and is suffocating their souls. Satan will try to silence you, but you must persevere in humility, purity and love as ONE with Love crucified. This armor that you will possess, as One victim with Me, will protect you and give you the power of God to fight the principalities of darkness and win... Be humble and submit to God’s plan. I bless you, love you and protect you. Go, therefore, My humble ones and raise up My army of holy priests needed to protect My Bride during these decisive times. —The Lord's message to LC, 3/29/11 David and Goliath My little one, the time draws near. You hold the sword of the Spirit in the mission given to you. My family of LC are My warriors of love that will defeat the dragon in the decisive battle that draws near. Be ready to approach this evil in the same way that David approached Goliath. You will conquer the dragon in your littleness and purity because it is God who is with you. You must not fear and believe with the innocence and zeal of David. My daughter, form My family well in the teachings I give to you. You each must also approach the battle with five stones. First, the stone of humility, possessing the perfect knowledge of your nothingness and of My power and majesty. Second, the stone of purity, purity of mind, heart, intention, word, desire… Third, simplicity, detached from all, most especially from your ego. Fourth, trust perfectly abandoned to My will. Fifth, courage, courage rooted in love of Me to be perfectly obedient to My commands. ​ These stones are your weapons for battle, for the dragon will not be defeated according to the standards of the world but in the Light of Love. Therefore, My family, prepare for battle. Be attentive to Me. —The Lord's message, 1/18/12 Simple Path #148, p.437 Back

SIGN OF THE CROSS GENERAL INTENTION OF THIS ROSARY: Jesus, the cries of your Heart pierce my heart. As your little victim of love, I want to suffer your interior martyrdom with You. I immolate myself in the Holy Spirit, and in union with You, Jesus, to the Father for the glory of the Blessed Trinity, for the salvation of souls, and in particular, in reparation and intercession for the purification and sanctification of all consecrated souls, especially your priests. ​ Dear Mother, Rosa Mystica, pray this rosary with me. ​ 1st LUMINOUS MYSTERY: The Baptism of Jesus in the Jordan MEDITATION: As Mothers of the Cross, pray for My beloved priests as you pray for your sons. Give your lives for them as you give your lives for your children. Your voices (Mothers of the Cross) are united as one with My Mother before the throne of God. Your lives united in Mary are bringing down graces upon My priests. 11/9/08 OUR FATHER 10 HAIL MARYs: 1. JESUS: My daughter, your ordinary life as wife and mother, lived in sacrificial love, a complete self-donation united to My Mother, will help in the transformation of My Church, especially in the sanctification of My priests. It will only come about through My living Hosts. 7/2/08 2. Evil that has penetrated the souls of his priests can only be overcome through this spiritual motherhood. 11/17/08 3. Mothers of the Cross will be the backbone (support) and heart of My Church. It is their lives that will bring forth My army of holy priests... 11/21/08 4. Feast of the Immaculate Conception. Yesterday during Mass, I saw Mary interiorly as Queen. After I received Communion, I saw each woman lying on the ground; a long line of bodies touching each other and covered in blood. This is the red carpet the priests are walking on, and Mary will be walking on. -/8/08 5. [About the Missionaries of the Cross] Mary explained that she has been forming the hearts of these priests for this mission. They will all be united. They are called to turn the hearts of God's people towards the Cross. My Son will be praised and glorified in His Crucified Body. It is His Blood that has saved and redeemed mankind… 6. [Defining the Community of LC] I am uniting souls who desire to love Me passionately, who have opened their hearts to My Love Crucified. These mothers and priests (including laypeople) will work together to aid in the renewal of My Church. 2/26/09 7. The Mothers of the Cross unite their fiat to My Mother of the Cross as victim intercessors. They live a life of prayer, penance, and sacrifice, united in Me crucified for the expiation of sin and the sanctification of My priests. 8. Their ordinary lives lived in simplicity, humility, interior silence, and prayer is a sweet fragrance that reaches the Heart of My Father. The outpouring of their blood through sacrificial love, united to My Precious Blood poured out of love for you, will serve to lift the dark blanket of sin that covers the world. 9. I will use the profound love of these simple mothers and their generosity in suffering out of love for Me to pry open the hardened hearts of My priests. [From this]…simple yet profound movement of love…will gush forth the Holy Spirit bringing about a new evangelization as you have never seen before. 10. The Missionaries of the Cross… My humble priests living in union with their High Priest… will go out and awaken My priests to love as My priests, victims united to The Victim. They, like Me, will live a life of prayer, poverty, and surrender to the Holy Spirit…through their hidden and devout lives. GLORY BE ​ 2nd LUMINOUS MYSTERY: Marriage Feast of Cana MEDITATION: Go out and preach My Gospel of Love, first within your own families. Proclaim My Love crucified! Proclaim repentance as did John the Baptist! Preach with the fire of My Spirit as did St Paul! Prepare the hearts of My people for an outpouring of My Holy Spirit! Bring them to the Cross! I desire transformed souls in the world to be My slaves of love. 3/25/09 OUR FATHER 10 HAIL MARYs: 1. Mary: [You,] mothers of the cross are my maidens that, united to me, will renew the priesthood. Your lives will be a holy cloth that soaks up the Precious Blood of Jesus. Your hidden lives lived in your domestic monasteries will be a source of grace for the sanctification of priests. 6/13/09 2. Mary to priests: I, the Mother of all in heaven and on earth, the Mother of all priests, desire for their holiness. As I embraced St. John at the foot of the Cross, enveloped in the precious Blood of My most adorable Son, I want to also embrace each priest. Through My Son, they are each My sons. 8/5/09 3. Mary: I want to lead them into the abode of His pierced Heart. I will bring each of them to the Cross as I accompanied My Son. I will form them to be perfect victims as I formed My Son. I will place in their hearts the love of the Cross as the Father placed this love in the Heart of My Son and Mine. 4. My priests must unite themselves with My Love Crucified to receive the full power of the Holy Spirit. It is in this time of darkness that My army of Holy Priests will turn the eyes of My people to the Cross… united with My Mother…. It is then …that all people will see My Mother as Queen of heaven and earth rising like the sun from the east. 2/01/2010 5. JESUS: Tell My priests they have turned their backs from Me. As they gaze at Me, they must see themselves in Me. I want their love to be crucified like Mine. They do not preach with the power of My Word because their hearts are not transformed, nor do their hearts seek transformation in Me through the power of the Holy Spirit. 3/11/2010 6. If they do not transform their lives in Me, I will spit them out. They will have to account for every soul that has been lost because of their lack of shepherding before the Father. 7. Tell them I am raising up My army of holy priests, My Green Berets: men of fortitude, men of courage, holy men, men willing to lay down their lives for their God. It is these holy priests that will be My Light during the time of great darkness that is approaching. 8. Tell them of My immense love for each of them. I am their Father waiting for them to come back to Me. I wish to embrace them and forgive them. I want them to know and experience the love I have for each of them. I want them to understand how much I need them to fulfill My work of redemption. 3/17/10 9. My hands are nailed to the Cross; I need each of them to be My hands, to anoint, bless and heal My children. I need them to be My feet, moving out as My missionaries to proclaim My words. I need them to be My eyes so that My divine gaze can penetrate the core of My children and bring them to repentance and reconciliation with God, their Father. 10. I need them to be My suffering and pierced Heart to My people, My Heart of compassion. My daughter, My priests MUST become My loving image in the world. They, united to My Mother, will bring the Church to the foot of My Cross, and through their cries, supplication, prayers, and tears, the Holy Spirit will be released from My Cross. GLORY BE. ​ 3rd LUMINOUS MYSTERY: Proclamation of the Kingdom MEDITATION: 5/24/10 Tell My sons that they have gone astray from the path I set before them. They have gone astray from the narrow path that leads to life. Their hearts have grown cold and hardened because they seek their fulfillment in themselves. It is only through a life of penance and mortification that the flesh can be purified. Tell them, My daughter, to gaze at My love crucified and to allow My Mother to bring them to the foot of the Cross with those that love Me (I felt St. John and Mary Magdalene). The time of the great chastisement is about to begin. OUR FATHER 10 HAIL MARYs: 1. Only a mother’s heart can call My sons (priests) to repentance. The flock is all scattered and confused because of the lack of holy shepherds. Satan is the prince of the world, and they have not waged war against him but have participated with him. There is no difference between His sons and all other men. Their eyes are not on the things of heaven but attached to all the world, full of sensuality. They are not obedient to Him; their hearts and intentions are not pure, and they desire the comforts of the world and do not seek poverty. 3/21/2010 2. Tell them how much I love them and are seeking them out. I am ready to forgive them and transform them if they come to Me and repent. The time is short. They will each have to stand before My Father to be judged, and when they are shown all My sheep that have gone astray, they will not live. 3. My daughter, My sons have not heeded My command. I have chosen them to continue My work of redemption in the world, bringing to fulfillment what I have accomplished through My death and resurrection. I have chosen them to be one with Me, fully transformed into Me through the power of the Holy Spirit. But they have denied the Holy Spirit this work in them by choosing the things of the world. 3/30/10 4. My covenant with each of them calls them to love as I have loved, to love with My Heart. My love is perfectly obedient to the Father’s Will, My love is simple, My love is sacrificial, My love is gentle and patient, but above all, My love is crucified. I came upon the earth desiring only the cross. My sons must have the same love for the cross as I had. 5. It is only through crucified love that their lives will bear abundant fruit. It is only through crucified love that they will be transformed by the fire of the Holy Spirit into Me. It is only through their crucified love that My priests will become the fortified wall of bronze protecting My Church from the principalities of death. This is what you must tell My priests. If They do not listen to My Words, they will perish during the time of great darkness. 6. April 2010 [Jesus] then revealed to me His Heart that was held in His hands. His Heart was all shredded; it didn’t resemble a heart. He then said: My family of Love Crucified is called to repair and console My Heart. This condition of My Heart has been mainly caused by My own (priests & religious). 7. My daughter, I desire to have an order of priests to console My wounded Heart. They will console Me by living a life transformed in Me. They will console Me by allowing the Holy Spirit to possess them with His power. They will go out as My first Apostles filled with the Holy Spirit to awaken the hearts of their brother priests. 8. They will preach with the fire of the Holy Spirit, as did St. Steven. They will preach the truth concerning the horrible condition of My priesthood. They will bring to light the darkness hidden deep in the hearts of My chosen sons. They will preach My love and mercy while there is still time, calling each of them to repentance. 9. If they repent, I will embrace them and forgive them, thus restoring them to health. My daughter, do not be alarmed if many of them walk away and cover their ears as they did to St. Steven. I promise you that enough will listen in order to raise up My army of holy priests. 10. My priests who do not amend their ways will be cast in the fires of Gehenna as bad figs. The time of My mercy is quickly coming to an end. I am now pouring out an abundance of mercy; every one of My priests will be given an opportunity to amend their ways. 4/24/10 GLORY BE ​ 4th LUMINOUS MYSTERY: The Transfiguration MEDITATION: There will be moaning and groaning and grinding of teeth among the righteous and the wicked. My priests must be My fortified wall of bronze to sustain My Church. They will be called to bring My flock to the foot of the Cross and receive the power of the Holy Spirit. These souls filled with My Holy Spirit and transformed by My crucified love will cry out, "Abba, Father, save us!" and through this corporate cry, united to My Mother of Sorrows, the Church will receive its New Pentecost, and My Mother will begin Her ascent. - /24/10 OUR FATHER 10 HAIL MARYs: 1. My daughter, I allowed My hands to be pierced with nails so that the hands of My priests would have the power to heal and anoint all My children. It is from this hole in My hands that flows the healing light of My Holy Spirit through the hands of My priests. This most painful piercing provided the means for My priests to consecrate Me during the sacrifice of the Mass. 6/11/10 2. Jesus said:... bring to light the truth of My sons’ sins…They are rebellious sons who have gone astray from their Father…I await them with mercy, but I promise you, My daughter, if they do not repent, they will burn for all eternity in the abyss of hell. 6/25/2010 3. It saddens Me greatly when My sons (priests) and religious live physical poverty but remain only there and do not allow the Holy Spirit to bring them to live the spirit of poverty… The spirit of poverty is lived when you allow the Holy Spirit, My Blessed Mother, and Myself to strip you of everything interiorly: your desires, expectations, plans, attachments, securities, consolations in friendships, even consolations from Me so that you are left completely empty. It is a soul that has been stripped of everything that is empty and can be filled with My life… 7/8/2010 4. The time of the great darkness is quickly approaching the earth. Each of My sons will have to make a decision to be with Me or against Me but will not be able to remain in the gray area. They will have to repent of their many sins with tears, and I will cleanse them with My mercy. They will have to renounce the world with all its passions and embrace poverty…. 7/22/10 5. They will live as victims following the pure, unblemished Victim Lamb… They must humble themselves and come to the foot of the Cross next to My Mother and kiss My feet. It is the Blood that flows from the wound of My feet that will purify their lips so that they will be able to speak with the Sword of My Word… During the time of the great darkness, they must shine forth My holy presence… During the time of great darkness, the principalities of darkness will snatch all My priests that are not one with Me into the abyss of hell… 6. 9/21/10 I am the High Priest. I am the perfect, unblemished holy sacrifice of the Father for the redemption of mankind. The priests that came after Me were born of My Pierced Heart; were born of My crucified love. As a woman labors to give life, My priests were conceived in My crucified Heart and were brought to life through the passage in My side created by the spear. 7. Therefore, every priest is called to be ONE with the Word of the Cross. Of themselves, they can do nothing and are nothing, but united as ONE to Love crucified, they are the power of God. The mission I desire is to bring all My priests to union with Love crucified. It is here that lies the power of God I want them to possess. 8. My priests have become ordinary men dressed in priestly robes; that is why their lives do not produce an abundance of fruit and lack the power to bring My little sheep to conversion. It is My priests who are in need of the greatest conversion. 9. I will raise up My army of holy priests through My humble son and simple mother…. My sons will never be holy if they do not resemble Me crucified. They are called to bear all My wounds and, in this way, become My healing light for all those entrusted to them…. 1/3/11 10. Raise up My army of holy priests! First, Bring them to the foot of the Cross to enter through the gate of Mary. Second, Call them to REPENTANCE. Ask them to repent from their sins of sloth, immorality, lack of prayer, lack of mortification, and penance. Third, Tell them to spend time in the Blessed Sacrament contemplating My wounds. Tell them to place their hearts with all their sins inside My most painful wound, My shoulder. I will heal them in this wound. I will perfect them and make them My living Hosts. In this way, they will radiate My Light during the time of the great darkness that is upon you. 1/8/11 GLORY BE ​ 5th LUMINOUS MYSTERY: The Institution of the Holy Eucharist MEDITATION: The Father: The time of the great and horrible devastation is drawing near. Prepare the way for My Son, My little ones; you must set out to preach with the fire of God. You must bring to light the darkness of sin hidden in the hearts of My priests. My fire will consume this darkness. My Missionaries of the Cross are my Son's Green Berets… 3/23/11 OUR FATHER 10 HAIL MARYs: 1. The Green Berets will face head-on the darkness that consumes the priesthood. They will fight with the sword of the Spirit. They will be clothed and possessed by the power of God because they are one with the Word of the Cross. The time is at hand when all my priests will be separated into two camps, the goats from the sheep. 3/23/11 2. You are My prophets for these decisive times, called to build the bronze wall of my Son's army of holy priests around the Bride, the Church. During the great devastation, many will enter her safety through her holy ministers. Bring to light the sin of My ministers and call them to repentance at the feet of Jesus crucified. They all must unite to the Word of the Cross so that they can possess the power of God to lead my Church to safety during the storm that is approaching 3. Therefore, My daughter, tell My sons to be humble as I am humble, to rely on My Spirit teaching them and not on their own understanding, for their understanding is very limited, but My understanding will bring them to encounter the living God and possess the life of the Most Holy Trinity. 4/25/11 4. Mary speaks: …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. 5/16/11 5. Message to Seminarians My daughter, tell these seminarians that they have been chosen as priests of the end times, priests of the Holy Spirit to usher in the new Pentecost through the reign of the Immaculate Heart of My Mother. Therefore, teach them how to come, like John, to the foot of the Cross with Mary, and consecrate themselves to the Holy Spirit…. Tell them to be holy as I am holy, to be mortified so that that purity can grow in their hearts. 7/11/11 6. Are you willing, My little ones (LC), to allow your hearts to be pierced as ONE with My Mother for the cleansing of My priesthood and the salvation of many? Do not grow stubborn but persevere in love by suffering all as ONE with My pierced Sacred Heart and the pierced Immaculate Heart. 10/20/11 7. Who else can form My priests to a singular perfection if not the Holy Spirit and Mary? If they [priests] do not become ONE with the Word of the Cross, they will amount to nothing. It is not brilliance that has the power to pierce hearts but love. You, My family, will form their hearts to know Love and be love. 3/3/12 8. Holy Thursday – Heaven cries with Me, My little one. ‘My God, My God, why have you forsaken Me?’ I cry, for I have been forsaken by My very own, My priests. My flock has forsaken Me, their good Shepherd, for they no longer recognize the face and voice of their Shepherd, so they follow the false shepherd, the king of lies and deception. Heaven cries tears of sorrow with Me. 4/5/12 9. My Way of love, life, truth, and happiness is abandoned and deserted except for a few, My holy remnant. I have been blessed, broken, and continue to be given to all, yet few flourish and radiate My life. Why? Because they live in deception. It is only through the Way of the Cross that you will enter new life. 10. Feast of Christ the King My priests can never join forces with Satan's evil to justify their ministry. They, too, must persevere as one with Me in my crucifixion during the time of great darkness. They, too, must be willing to suffer the injustice of being stripped of their faculties as I was stripped of all My glory, and this union of suffering with Me, the crucified King, will bring forth My purified Church. 11/21/21 GLORY BE HAIL HOLY QUEEN, Mother of Mercy, our life, our sweetness and our hope! To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve. To thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears! Turn, then, O most gracious Advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us, and after this, our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary. V. Pray for us, O holy Mother of God. R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ. Let us Pray. O God, whose only-begotten Son, by His life, death and resurrection, has purchased for us the rewards of eternal life, grant, we beseech Thee, that meditating on these mysteries of the most holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we may imitate what they contain, and obtain what they promise, through the same Christ our Lord. Amen. ​ Top of page ⇧

Community Fr. Jordi, 2012 What is community. Many meanings In NT, it is the communion of members of the Body of Christ baptismal vocation to holiness. To live Gospel, to be more effective witnesses. All from the Jesus through the Church mediated through community. Holy Scripture presupposes community. Live according to the Gospel and in the power of the Holy Spirit. Acts, "Encourage each other daily while it is still today" -Hebrews 3:13 "Encourage one another and build one another up" -1 Thessalonians 5:11 The Lord renews the Church through men and women who seek to renew themselves in the Spirit. To live the Gospel, To be more effective witnesses. Form communities. Different from the world. John Paul II's support for communities These communities are a sign of vitality within the Church, an instrument of formation and evangelization, and a solid starting point for a new society based on a ‘civilization of love’… They are thus cause for great hope for the life of the Church. —JOHN PAUL II, The Mission of the Redeemer, n. 51 Make yourselves builders of communities in which, after the example of the first community, the Word lives and acts —JOHN PAUL II, Address to Focolare Movement, Rome, May 3, 1986 New communities sign of a springtime. Covenant community vs a group. Commitment Participation in community activities we grow in unity, encourage each other to love and serve and give glory to God. "And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another." -Hebrews 10:24-25 St. Ignatius of Antioch “Try to gather together more frequently to give thanks to God and to praise him. For when you come together frequently, Satan’s powers are undermined, and the destruction he threatens is done away with in the unanimity of your faith. Nothing is better than peace, in which all warfare between heaven and earth is brought to an end.” —a letter to the Ephesians by Saint Ignatius of Antioch, bishop and martyr, Liturgy of the Hours, Volume I Cenacles are the community's weekly gathering to pray, worship and fellowship. Where Holy Spirit guides, heals, speaks, instructs and moves freely. We are open to the gifts of the Holy Spirit, including words of knowledge, tongues, silence, etc. -Cf. Ef 5,19, Col 3,16-17 Song and praise. "He who sings prays twice" (St. Agustin, cf. Psalm 72,1). Love Catechism 953 "Communion in charity. In the sanctorum communio, "None of us lives to himself, and none of us dies to himself." "If one member suffers, all suffer together; if one member is honored, all rejoice together. Now you are the body of Christ and individually members of it." Many seek community to satisfy a natural need for love, according to the world. St Leo the Great: Even the most intimate bonds of friendship and the closest affinity of minds cannot truly lay claim to this peace if they are not in agreement with the will of God. -office Monday XXIII confuse love with pampering the flesh. But community is meant to purify us. Loving one another is only possible if we are willing to suffer one another as Jesus suffered for us. "We follow our Lord in readiness to spend our life for our brothers (cf. 1 John 3:16), becoming messengers of a joy that does not fear pain, the joy of the Resurrection. -Benedict XVI>> Community should be a witness of the love that Christ commanded. To love all, not as we may choose, but as He has loved us, that is with a crucified love. "This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. -Jn 15:12. St. Faustina “Jesus, I thank You for the little daily crosses, for opposition to my endeavors, for the hardships of communal life, for the misinterpretation of my intentions, for humiliations at the hands of others, for the harsh way in which we are treated, for false suspicions, for poor health and loss of strength, for self-denial, for dying to myself, for lack of recognition in everything, for the upsetting of all my plans.” Love lived in community radiates to those outside. As organs serve the body, Welcome others called to community Be an Ark of the New Covenant. The Immaculate Heart. Padre Pio, Re: his Spiritual Children: “'I love my Spiritual Children as much as my own soul and even more.' 'Once I take a soul on, I also take on their entire family as my spiritual children.' 'To my Spiritual Children, my prayers for you will never be lacking.' 'If one of my spiritual children ever goes astray, I shall leave my flock and seek him out.' Fidelity "It is not an idea or a strategy that unites us but love of Christ and his Holy Spirit. The effectiveness of our service to the Church, the Bride of Christ, depends essentially on this, on our fidelity to the divine kingship of CRUCIFIED LOVE" - Benedict XVI>> Strength not based on numbers but in fidelity to the Lord. Attentive to His action. How did you begin? What is your history? Whom have I raised up to help in this task? Like Israelites, like the Apostles, we forget God's actions and revert to our old ways. What has the Lord taught us? What has he placed in our hearts? Persevere. Remnant. Sustained by prayer Benedict XVI, April 18, 20102 “In a meditation of the 4th chapter of the Acts of the Apostles, and the story of how Sts. Peter and John were arrested, the Pope observed that the early Christian community was sustained by unity in prayer. Prayer was “the fundamental element of the first community and should always be fundamental to the Church,” he said. Facing persecution, the disciples of Christ recognized that the threat to Peter and John was a threat to their entire community, the Pope said. “In suffering persecution for Jesus' sake, the community not only did not give way to fear and division, but was profoundly united in prayer.” The Pontiff went on to observe that the disciples did not pray to be spared from persecution, but only to be allowed to continue spreading the Gospel. safa In their prayer the earliest Christians were completed united, the Pope said. He remarked that “unity is consolidated rather than undermined, because it is supported by unshakeable prayer.” The Church should not fear opposition or persecution, he said, but trust steadily in God’s power. The disciples sought God’s help, the Pope said, because “they wanted to become a force for the transformation of reality, changing the hearts, minds and lives of men and bringing the radical novelty of the Gospel.” Back

Love Crucified encounter with Regnum Christi Medellin, Colombia, 2020 The martyrdom of the heart is the martyrdom of suffering with Love and for Love. My daughter, if you could only understand the fruit of the martyrdom of suffering, you would desire nothing else on earth. The hidden life of suffering with Love and for Love is of far greater worth than great and small works tainted with human recognition. Believe in the hidden force contained in the martyrdom of the heart. This is the purest fragrance of love that has the power to conquer the enemies of God. —Path p.139. I am permitting for you to receive the oppression in the hearts of others as one with Me…Suffer those attacks, My little one, with perfect trust and love, obtaining graces for the many who are oppressed. This hidden life of suffering the oppression of other souls with Me will obtain for you the crown of glory —Path p.143. I will make all things new through My Precious Blood and the blood of My martyrs. This spirituality of suffering out of love for Me is not understood even within My Church. Yet here lies the power of God and the power of the Holy Spirit. More grace is obtained for the world through the hidden life of suffering in love than the public life… Live the hidden life to perfection in Me and in the Heart of My Mother. — Path p. 145. Cardinal Ratzinger explains 3rd secret of Fatima: "From the suffering of the witnesses comes a purifying and renewing power, because their suffering is the actualization of the suffering of Christ Himself and a communication in the here and now of its saving effect". — Path p.143-144. Silence allows you to embrace fully the sorrow of your heart. Silence allows you to enter fully the sorrow I am permitting in your heart. As you embrace this pain and suffering, you are embracing Me. You are embracing My pain and suffering and thus entering My Heart, for My Heart is all pain and love. This is My Mercy. — Path p.285. "My sons and daughters, exteriorly smile and tend to the duties of your vocation with detail and love; but interiorly, through the arms of silence, live embracing your sorrows. In this way, you are embracing My crucified Body and soothing My wounds. This is the life of love…" —Path p.285. Pg 6 Main Page

DUELE It Hurts Text and music: Maria Hickein ​ ​ Me hice pequeño por ti, un pedacito de pan I made myself small for you, a little piece of bread Que se dejó consumir, que en ti se quiso fundir That allowed Himself to be consumed, that willingly melted Himself in you, Que en ti se quiso quedar That wanted to remain in you... No me supiste escuchar en Mi silencioso amor You did not know how to listen to Me in My silent love, Te aburrió Mi sencillez, te cansó Mi pequeñez, buscabas algo mayor My meekness bored you, My littleness tired you, you were looking for something bigger... Y te alejaste del camino que tracé con tanto amor para los dos And you walked away from the path that I traced with so much love for both of us, Y te buscaste con quien tu tiempo perder y distraer tu corazón And you found yourself with whom to waste your time and distract your heart.

The Simple Path to Union with God

Canaanite Women's Faith Lourdes Pinto – August 10, 2017 The con trast between the Israelites in the desert and the Canaanite woman –Lourdes Pinto, cenacle of 8/10/17 ​ My little one, know that I am pleased with you because you have responded to the cry of My voice. My little one, this is a time of an outpouring of grace for My little mustard seed. You are each being given the grace to be transformed into My living hosts to bless, release from bondage, and set free countless souls. See yourselves as My warriors riding out into the horizon. This holy fleet is the Light of God’s love that has the power to cast into hell the spirits of darkness that are now covering the earth. My triumph will be a great triumph accomplished through the most hidden force of God – the hidden martyrdom of My Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart of My Mother. –6/8/17 *Respond by suffering all with Me in My sacrifice of love. *Respond with courage and zeal, believing that God has chosen you to participate in the triumph of My crucified love to save the world. *Believe that as My warriors – the hidden anawims of God – you have mounted your horses and have begun to fight the great battle for the salvation of the world. *Remain steadfast in living daily what I have taught you. *Do not be afraid, for the triumph of My Sacred Heart, through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, is close at hand. *Usher in the triumph of our Two Hearts. Trust in the words I speak in your heart and share them with perfect faith and hope in the God who loves you. Go in peace. ​ Numbers 13 & 14 The Israelites, after having lived the parting of the Red Sea, being fed miraculously with the manna every morning and quails every evening, witnessing the face of Moses shining with the Light of God after having spoken to Him face-to-face, seeing the presence of God in a cloud over the tent, finally arrive at the land of Canaan. Upon arriving, the Lord sends Moses to “reconnoiter” (make a military observation of a region) the land of Canaan, and says, “which I am giving the Israelites.” (Numbers 13:1). But after observing the territory, they are frightened because the men of this land are too strong for them. (13:31) Some begin to doubt, and this leads them into Satan’s trap of discouragement, and they begin to grumble against Moses and Aaron: “All the Israelites grumbled against Moses and Aaron, the whole community saying to them, “If only we had died in the land of Egypt,” or “If only we would die here in the wilderness! Why is the Lord bringing us into this land only to have us fall by the sword? Our wives and little ones will be taken as spoil. Would it not be better for us to return to Egypt?” So they said to one another, “Let us appoint a leader and go back to Egypt.” (Numbers 14:2-4) They are not able to believe that God will do the impossible with the impossible. Fear becomes an obstacle to faith. The spirits of fear, doubt, and discouragement quickly spread among the entire community. It’s amazing how quickly fear, confusion, discouragement, and despair can spread throughout a group of people. The Lord also has warned us about this happening in the world: ​ Message of Jesus, 7/17/15 Soon and very soon, Justice as the illumination will be knocking at your doors. There will be great moaning and grinding of teeth. Many will despair. There will be confusion. But those who have been made clean by the blood of the Lamb will experience the glory of God... Know who you are... ​ Message of Jesus, 8/10/12 Soon the world as you know it will cease to exist. My followers will be persecuted. You will be hunted down as beasts are pursued in secret, hidden, and captured. There will be much wailing in the streets of Jerusalem. Be attentive, for the justice of God is now approaching the world. It will visit you as a thief in the night. My messages must now be published, ‘It Is My Victim Souls That Will Conquer The Dragon; Bring Me Victim Souls!’ (Then Jesus asked me to go to His Word (the Bible) to confirm what He just said. I opened to 1 Samuel 20:24-42.) The beast will pursue you as Saul pursued David... The beast shall die. He will be killed by the Word of the Cross, which is the Sword of the Spirit. Be My sword! Because of Israel’s lack of faith and obstinacy, the Lord is forced to punish them. Corresponding to the number of days you spent reconnoitering the land—forty days—you shall bear your punishment one year for each day: forty years. Thus, you will realize what it means to oppose me. (Numbers 14: 34) We can very easily read these stories of the Israelite nation and judge them, and yet fail to see ourselves in the many difficult situations that God has permitted in our lives and our lack of faith also. We forget the many times that we, too, have grumbled against others and God in the storms of our lives. We, too, forget how God has been providing for us all our lives. We can have this same spirit even within our Love Crucified community.​ Like with the Israelites, God has been leading us, His little mustard seed, by the hand. He has been speaking to us, warning us, forming us, showing great signs and wonders, and promising us truly amazing things. Message of Jesus, 8/6/17 See yourselves as My warriors riding out into the horizon. This holy fleet is the Light of God’s love that has the power to cast into hell the spirits of darkness that are now covering the earth. My triumph will be a great triumph accomplished through the most hidden force of God – the hidden martyrdom of My Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart of My Mother. ​ God has chosen you to participate in the triumph of My crucified love to save the world. You have mounted your horses and have begun to fight the great battle for the salvation of the world. Do we, too, forget these promises, like the Israelites, every time we are confronted with an impossible situation? How do we grumble?​ ​ We must REPENT of our lack of trust. Pray PSALM 51 with the groans of your heart united to the groans of the Spirit! ​ MATHEW 15: 21-28 –The Canaanite woman’s faith Then Jesus went from that place and withdrew to the region of Tyre and Sidon. And behold, a Canaanite woman of that district came and called out, “Have pity on me, Lord, Son of David! My daughter is tormented by a demon.” 23 But he did not say a word in answer to her. His disciples came and asked him, “Send her away, for she keeps calling out after us.” 24 [j]He said in reply, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” 25 But the woman came and did him homage, saying, “Lord, help me.” 26 He said in reply, “It is not right to take the food of the children[k] and throw it to the dogs.” 27 She said, “Please, Lord, for even the dogs eat the scraps that fall from the table of their masters.” 28 Then Jesus said to her in reply, “O woman, great is your faith![l] Let it be done for you as you wish.” And her daughter was healed from that hour. We need to have the same spirit of the Canaanite woman and learn from her, for Jesus was using this pagan woman to teach us something of great wealth. ​ 1. First, she makes herself VULNERABLE and is willing to look like a fool, “Have pity on me, Lord, Son of David! My daughter is tormented by a demon.” Trust believes and always looks foolish to the eyes of the world. True trust is rooted in humility. What have we learned about humility? Humility requires that we know God and ourselves. The Canaanite woman knows that Jesus is Lord and that she is a “dog”, a pagan, unworthy of anything. 2. She PERSEVERES, even when Jesus “did not say a word in answer to her.” Even the disciples look at her with repulsion because they say to Jesus, “Send her away, for she keeps calling out after us.” Then Jesus finally answers her with the reply, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” This woman could have easily entered and reacted from the wound of rejection, but she perseveres in faith, knowing who Jesus is. ​ Through humility and purity, you will quickly attain perfection in all the other virtues if you persevere in prayer. (03/04/11) Path #28 Persevere in wearing the crown of many thorns. Path #41 Are you willing, My little ones, to allow your hearts to be pierced as ONE with My Mother’s for the cleansing of My priesthood and the salvation of many? Do not grow stubborn, but persevere in love by suffering all as ONE with My Pierced Sacred Heart and the pierced Immaculate Heart . Path #76 3. She approaches Jesus and does Him HOMAGE, “Lord help me.” She acknowledges her nothingness and begs for His help because she is convicted of who He is. This conviction of the truth that Jesus is God, all-powerful and mighty, able to do the impossible, keeps her in homage before the Lord. The prayer of gratitude and thanksgiving should be your every breath. Path #97 This is why suffering all your sorrows with Me is so beneficial for your soul, because, in that process, you touch the open wounds of My love for you. This perfects a soul quickly in abandonment and trust until you come to experience all, the good and what you perceive as bad, as a gift of My love for you. The gift of knowing with your mind, heart, and soul that the love of God only desires to make of you the new creation you were created to be from the beginning of time, a creation in the image and likeness of God as holy sons and daughters of the Most High. Path #115 My Mother lived her life in praise of the Father. She lived in the constant awareness of who the Father is. Her soul was in a constant state of awe. Path #20 4. Her FAITH AGAIN IS TRIED by Jesus, “It is not right to take the food of the children and throw it to the dogs.” These seemingly harsh words from the Lord do not seem to distress her in any way. Her faith in Christ is anchored in the knowledge of her nothingness and that Jesus is everything, and she proclaims from the depth of her humble heart: “Please, Lord, for even the dogs eat the scraps that fall from the table of their masters.” Our faith, too, must be tried in the furnace of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. ​What seemingly harsh words from others can set me off and bring me into anger, doubt and discouragement? 5. Jesus, through her faith, casts out the demon hurting her daughter. ​ ​ These angels of death can only be fought through Me, with Me, and in Me, in the power of the Spirit, through the Cross. I am dressing My soldier of light in My humility, purity, and childlike innocence. He must live knowing his nothingness and weakness, for it is I who am everything, all power, and might. Pray for greater trust and abandonment so that the authority of My Spirit can be stirred into flame in him to cast out the demons of hell. The hidden force of My little mustard seed (LC Community) is the power of God’s force moving through him. – Message of Jesus, 8/3/17 The Lord has called us to fight against the demons of hell. For this, we must ponder the striking difference between the hearts of the Israelites and this pagan woman. The Lord in this message makes it very clear that we, too, like the Canaanite woman, must be humble, pure, and have a childlike innocence. We must know who we are – nothing – and who God is – everything, all power, and might. We must all pray for perfect TRUST and ABANDONMENT rooted in true humility so that we do not continue falling in Satan’s trap of responding through our wounded hearts, but rather, through hearts steadfast in FAITH, HOPE and LOVE! ​ To have the humility and faith of the Canaanite woman is rare. We too must be transparent before God to recognize, through self-knowledge, how our hardened hearts continue to be like the Israelite people. We must understand that we are in a process, from hearts like the Israelites to hearts of great faith and trust like the Canaanite woman. God is promising us transformation into living hosts, and we must be receptive and docile to this process. Image: Carl Christian Constantin Hansen –Christ and the Canaanite Woman Back

Suffer with Him - Entering the Pierced Side of Jesus Lourdes Pinto — 2012 The Pierced Side of Jesus reveals the mystery of suffering with Christ ​ Jesus allowed a sword to pierce His side so that it would be a passage to enter His Sacred Heart. This passage becomes the means to make our hardened hearts docile and tender so that we can receive His touch and His precious Blood can penetrate our wounds. Just like a seed can not take root in rocky soil, it needs soil that has been plowed and fertilized, our hearts also need to be made docile to bear an abundance of fruit. In the book, The Spirit and the Bride say, "Come!", it says, "Calvary is the necessary 'passage' of which Jesus spoke to Moses and Elijah while on Tabor and of which he spoke to his disciples. It is the 'passage' that must come before the resurrection and Pentecost."(p 18) This passage includes: a way of life centered in the Eucharist, Sacrament of Penance, reflecting daily on the Word, self-denial and mortification. The complete way of life (See end of manual) learning to suffer all with Jesus allowing our hearts to be pierced with Jesus' thorns Perfection in the virtues Silence Tenderness Childlike innocence Poverty Purity Obedience Faith Fear of the Lord Prayer The ordinary and hidden life victim intercessors *SUFFER WITH HIM ROMANS 8:12-17 So then, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh -- for if you live according to the flesh you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body you will live. For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the spirit of sonship. When we cry, "Abba! Father!" it is the Spirit himself bearing witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him The Spirit and the Bride Say, Come! P 77 ​ “It is precisely here that the role of Mary, the Mother of Sorrows, is most effective. She has been commissioned by Jesus on the Cross (John 19:26) to prepare us for this baptism of suffering as she did Jesus. She wants to bring us to the docility of Jesus on the Cross, a docility of total trust and obedience, offering this as a sacrifice to the Father. By entrusting to her all that we are, by our consecration to her Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart, we enable her to transform our weaknesses and our burdened hearts and thus prepare us for the Eucharistic Sacrifice. She then will “offer us up” as a pleasing sacrifice to the Father, uniting us with the sacrifice of Jesus for the salvation of the world. “ ​ “Receive the pearl of suffering I am giving you…” The Spirit and the Bride Say, Come! P 77 “Suffering is so precious to God that it seems he allows it to continue until the last moment, as he did with his own Son.” ​ 8/27/11 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. ... (I asked about the MC) My daughter, I wish to perfect you in love...trust in all that I place in your heart. The time is short and the battle is fierce. ≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈ Spe Salvi (In hope we are saved) Encyclical of Benedict XVI, 2007. 39. To suffer with the other and for others; to suffer for the sake of truth and justice; to suffer out of love and in order to become a person who truly loves—these are fundamental elements of humanity, and to abandon them would destroy man himself. Yet once again the question arises: are we capable of this? Is the other important enough to warrant my becoming, on his account, a person who suffers? Does truth matter to me enough to make suffering worthwhile? Is the promise of love so great that it justifies the gift of myself? In the history of humanity, it was the Christian faith that had the particular merit of bringing forth within man a new and deeper capacity for these kinds of suffering that are decisive for his humanity. The Christian faith has shown us that truth, justice and love are not simply ideals, but enormously weighty realities. It has shown us that God —Truth and Love in person—desired to suffer for us and with us. Bernard of Clairvaux coined the marvelous expression: —God cannot suffer, but he can suffer with. Man is worth so much to God that he himself became man in order to suffer with man in an utterly real way—in flesh and blood—as is revealed to us in the account of Jesus's Passion. ≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈ ​ Consolation: “Desire solely the Cross and give Me rest... Very few souls participate in My suffering and share in My sorrows.” (9/7/11) ≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈ ​ True intimacy is to suffer as one heart with the beloved, to enter a union of sorrows. "Do grant, oh my God, that when my lips approach Yours to kiss You, I may taste the gall that was given to You; when my shoulders lean against Yours, make me feel Your scourging; when my flesh is united with Yours, in the Holy Eucharist, make me feel Your passion; when my head comes near Yours, make me feel Your thorns; when my heart is close to Yours, make me feel Your spear." (St. Gemma Galgani) ≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈ ​ The Spirit and the Bride Say Come p 74 “Suffering is not meaningless, but rather when embraced as the Cross of Christ, it becomes “the power of God and the wisdom of God” (1 Cor. 1:24)... It is not useless, but rather is tremendously precious because it brings salvation to souls by applying the power of the Cross to their need... Nor is redemptive suffering a rejection of healing; rather, it is a way of bringing total healing, that is, salvation to ourselves and others. One effect of healing is that it removes the obstacles within us that prevent us from recognizing the Cross and embracing the Cross and embracing it with joy. 10/07/2010 Jeremiah 13: 12-27 The Jars Filled with Wine I am preparing My pure, holy vessels by cleansing them with My precious blood. These living chalices will be filled with My precious blood as I unite them to the World of the Cross and they suffer with Me. My blood will be poured upon My Church to cleanse Her through them. You have been given the particular mission of cleansing My priesthood. “Woe to you, O Jerusalem. How long will it be before you are made clean?” ​ ≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈ WILL YOU SUFFER WITH ME? (11/10) Will you suffer with Me? Will you unite with My suffering to purchase the redemption of many? You see, My suffering and resurrection has purchased the salvation of the world but My Father from the beginning of time willed for the fulfillment of salvation to come through My Body, the Church. Therefore, the salvation of many souls is dependent on your response to suffer with me. ≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈ ​ 1//13/11 “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.” ​ JN 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. ​ ≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈ ​ TO SUFFER WITH ME 11/2/11 To suffer with Me is to be made pure like Me... To suffer with Me is to begin to love with Me... To suffer with Me is to become Love... To suffer with Me is to enter the fullness of JOY and happiness on earth... Our Lord last week had given me an interior image of one of His thorns in my heart. I could see light issuing out of His thorn into my heart. All around that one thorn was a light moving out into the darkness of my heart expanding and purifying it. I can understand how every thorn received is not only a source of healing grace for other souls but especially for our own hearts. ≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈ THE WISDOM OF THE CROSS The Spirit and the Bride say Come, p 74-75 To grasp the folly of the Cross as the power of God and the wisdom of God takes a wisdom that is pure gift. Without this wisdom all suffering, pain and the Cross of Christ are utter foolishness and a stumbling block. If we don't have this wisdom, we need to acquire it at any price! Fortunately, St. James tells us it is available for the asking, as long as we ask with faith and patient perseverance: ”My brothers, count it pure joy when you are involved in every sort of trial. Realize that when you're faith is tested it makes for endurance. Let endurance come to its perfection so that you may mature in everything. If any of you is without wisdom, let him ask for it from God who gives generously and ungrudgingly to all, and it will be given him. Yet he must ask in faith, never doubting…” (James 1:2–6). Suffering is the wisdom and power of God when it is the Cross of Christ. Precisely, the Cross is the wisdom and power of God because it is the Cross that is the answer to sin, to Satan and to death itself. Only the suffering of Christ crucified, Head and Body, brings salvation from sin and its consequences, namely, the domination of Satan and death. It is by dying that we are born to eternal life. Only by losing our life can we gain life (Matthew 16:25). This is the wisdom of God. Ibid pg 29 “You need wisdom from me that you do not have. You need the power of my Holy Spirit in a way that you have not possessed it; you need understanding of my will and of the ways that I work that you do not yet have“ It is our conviction that Mary is to provide the new wisdom and new power that we do not yet have in order to understand the ways of the Lord and to accomplish his work. ≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈ SUFFER IN MY AGONY OF LOVE 2/24/12 Suffer all with Me... See through My eyes the emptiness and darkness in their hearts and suffer in My agony of love. In this suffering your life becomes a prayer of offering for them.... Live the martyrdom of My Heart.... It is in this union of suffering with Love and in Love that the Holy Spirit will consume you in the fire of His embrace. ≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈ ONE WITH THE MOTHER OF SORROWS/ Anniversary of LC 3/11/12 You are chosen to be ONE with My Mother of Sorrows. You are called to live and taste My agony of love as ONE with My Mother. I cry for _______ for he has turned away from Me in his rebelliousness, and like him, so many, My daughter. I shed tears for each and every one. Look at the God Who loves you nailed to the Cross. See My tears as I look down upon every son and daughter who has not come to Me to gaze at Love. Can you hear My groans that come forth from the depth of My crucified Heart? The groans of My agony of love. Listen to My groans of love. I thirst for you to quench My thirst with your kiss of love, your kiss of gratitude, your kiss of purity, your kiss of sorrow, your kiss of desire to be ONE with Me, suffering in love with Me. Do not fear to feel the sorrows of My Heart, to partake in My chalice of suffering in Love and for Love. Embrace through your arms of silence each and every sorrow I place in your heart and participate with My Mother in My agony of love. This union of sorrows will bring many graces to the world. Teach My family (LC) how to suffer with Me. Raise up many victims of love to defeat the prince of darkness. ​ ≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈ Hebrews 2:10 Perfected in sufferings For it was fitting that he, for whom and by whom all things exist, in bringing many sons to glory, should make the pioneer of their salvation perfect through suffering.

To get a fuller and richer understanding of this teaching, we recommend you listen to the audio. INTERIOR CROSS ​ It is amazing for us to contemplate that Jesus was walking the face of the earth redeeming us through His love in suffering while He lived the ordinary life. On the outside He labored and smiled and nobody knew, nor saw His sacrifice of love, except His Mother, who participated with Him in this hidden martyrdom. "Through the external cross which all can see, I was a victim acceptable to the Father by shedding My blood, but is was above all through the interior cross that Redemption was accomplished" -Conchita Diary, 9/7/1896 Words from Jesus to Blessed Conchita:(p 123) "I wish that above all, there be honored the interior sufferings of My Heart, sufferings undergone from My Incarnation to the Cross and which are mystically prolonged in My Eucharist. These sufferings are still unsuspected by the world. Nonetheless I declare to you that, from the first moment of my Incarnation, the Cross already planted in My Heart, overburdened Me and the thorns penetrated it. The blow struck by the lance might have been some solace causing to gush from My Side a volcano of love and of suffering but I did not consent to that until after My death. I only receive ingratitude. That is why My Heart overflowing with tenderness will ever feel the thorns of the Cross. In heaven, as God, I cannot suffer. To find this Cross which above did not exist, I descended into this world and became man. As God-Man, I could suffer infinitely to pay the price of the salvation of so many souls. During my life, I never desired anything except the Cross, and ever the Cross, wanting to show the world that which is the sole wealth and happiness on earth, the currency which will buy an eternal happiness. "I only remained on the Cross of Calvary for three hours, but on the interior Cross of My Heart, my whole life. The monasteries (Oasis) will venerate both of them but especially my Interior Cross which symbolizes these pains and these inner sufferings, so incomprehensible, which constantly oppress my soul. These sufferings remained hidden during My life. I smiled, I labored. Only My Mother was aware of this martyrdom which crushed My loving Heart. My external Passion lasted but a few hours. It was like a gentle dew, a comfort for the other Passion, terribly cruel, which tortured ceaselessly My soul!" (Diary, Sept. 25, 1894). ​ ≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈ 12/12/11 It is perseverance in living the ordinary of your state in life, in love for Me, that you are perfected in many virtues. The ordinary duties of motherhood have been greatly attacked by satan because they are so pleasing to the Father, and when lived in My crucified love, as Mary did, possess the power of God to aid in the sanctification and salvation of many souls. This is why your formation began in the most ordinary of your state in life as a mother (the gentle touch, kiss, blessing, making chocolate milk...). It is here living the details of the most ordinary that you began to grow in greater love. Living the details of the ordinary became your prayer of blessing and honor to your God. It is in the most ordinary and hidden life that a soul encounters the face of God. I disguise Myself in what the world sees as tedious. That is why all the Mothers of the Cross have begun to encounter Me in The laundry, cleaning, cooking, nursing... The tasks of ordinary motherhood are precious to the Father because they are the heart-beat of the domestic church. Now you know why satan has done so much to attack motherhood. Through the restoration of motherhood I will strengthen the domestic church, aid in the healing of fatherhood, and bring restoration to My universal Church. ≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈ 9/14/10 This spirituality of suffering out of love for Me is not understood even within My Church. Yet here lies the power of God and the power of the Holy Spirit. More grace is obtained for the world through the hidden life of suffering in love than the public life… Live the hidden life to perfection in Me and in the Heart of My Mother. ≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈ This mystery of redemption is at the heart of the Gospel message and at the heart of being Mothers and Missionaries of the Cross. The Word of the Cross is the power of God. It is precisely through our hidden and ordinary lives united to Jesus crucified that our lives possess the power of God. It is not so much what we do as far as prayer cenacles, presentations or apostolates but how well we become Mothers & Missionaries of the Cross that will bear the greatest fruit for our beloved Mother Church. Carrying Our Cross Blessed Angela of Foligno Extreme suffering…accompanied the soul of Christ; for his holy soul, united with his body to his divinity, was filled with highest wisdom. He became, all in an instant, both a pilgrim on life’s way, and one who comprehended what that way entailed. Already in the womb of his mother, his holy soul began to feel the most extreme suffering as perfect reparation to God, and this not for his own faults but for the faults of humanity. For Christ saw, felt, knew, and understood, together and separately, all the torments and each one in detail which he would have to endure, soul and body, with deep-felt pain. The holy soul of Christ knew beforehand each of the knife-like tongues, that is, each of the sharp words which would cut him up in the future. Christ knew when, how, by whom, and where he would be attacked. He knew and saw how he, as man, was to be betrayed, sold, arrested, abandoned, renounced, bound, derided, beaten, whipped, judged, condemned as a thief, led to a cross, stripped, crucified, put to death, blasphemed, pierced by a lance which opened a wound in his holy side. He also knew beforehand all the hammer blows and all the nail wounds. His holy soul knew in itself and had before itself all the sufferings, the groans, the wailing, and the pain-filled lamentations of his Mother. It is thus the whole life of Christ was accompanied by continual sufferings. How will the unhappy soul , which only wishes to receive consolations in this world go to him, who is the way of suffering? In truth, the soul perfectly enamored of Christ, its beloved, would not wish to have any other bed or state in this world than the one he had. I believe that even Mary, watching her beloved son lamenting and dying on the cross, did not ask of him then to experience sweetness but rather suffering. It is in a soul the sign of very weak love to want from Christ, the Beloved, anything in this world but suffering. It should certainly be possible for the soul to understand that a good master is more pleased by the services of a poor servant who serves him faithfully out of love, without pay or benefits, than the services of someone rich, who receives good wages everyday and serves in the hope of receiving special benefits. Similarly, if a soul, fattened on the great sweetness of its experience and taste of God, runs lovingly toward him, it does not have as much merit as the one who runs to God and serves him with an equal and similar love, but without consolation and in a state of continual suffering. ​ ≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈ Mothers of the Cross 5/31/11 The MOC are the joy in heaven. They are the most pure servants of the Father. It is through the hidden life of the MOC that My army of holy priests will be raised up. These spiritual mothers will live the tears and sorrows of their hearts united as one with My Mother of Sorrows. It is My Mother’s sorrows that continue to shower grace upon the world, and as My MOC unite as one with My Mother, the shower will become a living torrent of grace. Therefore, each MOC must be perfected in living her hidden ordinary life with all its trials, sorrows, exhaustion…. with pure love and in this way she will find her joy; the joy of knowing that she is participating in the hidden sorrows of My Mother for the salvation of many souls. Allow My Mother to form each of you, My daughters. It is Rosa Mystica that wants to form your gentle hearts. Mary reveals the sorrows of her pierced heart that continue to remain hidden and the roses of prayer, sacrifice and penance. You must imitate Mary in this way. Your lives will become the sweet fragrance of prayer and your sacrifices and penances will be lived in the most ordinary of your duties as women. Your lives as My victims of love will go unnoticed by the world but seen by the eyes of the Father. He will use your hidden lives of love to humble the proud. Know that you are My consolation. ≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈ ​ True motherhood is a vocation of hidden martyrdom, reflecting the perfect motherhood of our Blessed Mother. Here lies the “hidden power” of spiritual motherhood. It is this hidden martyrdom, united to Mary, that will raise up God’s army of holy priests for the reign of the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the new Pentecost!! The *Eucharist holds the power of the hidden life Spirit and the Bride say Come!, pg 72 The Angel of Fatima summed up her message in these words: “pray! Pray a great deal!… Offer up prayers and sacrifices to the Most High… Make everything you do a sacrifice, and offer it as an act of reparation for the sins by which he is offered and in supplication for the conversion of sinners… Above all, accept and bear with submission the sufferings sent you by Our Lord.” And in his next apparition he revealed how to make these sacrifices and prayers effective: by offering them in union with the Eucharistic Sacrifice. ​ ≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈ ​ Ibid pg 86 It seems that the Eucharist is the focal point of the spiritual battle for unity. Here the forces of Satan seem to work the hardest to prevent the celebration of a united Eucharist. For our Eucharist to be united and so effective, we need to yield to the Spirit, even as the gifts of bread and wine might be said to yield to the Holy Spirit and so become the Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ. Since they offer no resistance to the Spirit, they become what they signify. If we offer no resistance to the Spirit week to become the Body of Christ. Ibid Pg 87 It is in this yielding by our total consecration that we live out the “Totus Tuus” of self sacrifice. It is in sacrifice that we most effectively repent of self-concern and the sin of disunity and give ourselves for the sake of the kingdom. It is in union with the sacrifice of Jesus that our intercession becomes united with his and so effective. ≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈ ​ Trust and place all your confidence in the power of the hidden life being revealed to you now in My Eucharistic presence. I am the power of the hidden life. I want to possess you with My hidden life, which is the Eucharist, transforming you into living hosts. This transformation will take place as you live your hidden and interior life united to My interior crucifixion, suffering all with Me and in Me. In this way, the power of the hidden force will intensify with the fire of the Holy Spirit. ​ ≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈ ​ Feast of Corpus Christi 6/26/11 Most people partake of My Body and Blood but few desire to participate in My Body and Blood (The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a participation in the blood of Christ? The bread that we break, is it not a participation in the body of Christ? (1 Cor.10:16) In order to become One Body in Me you must respond to participate in living in My Body and Blood. In the Eucharist I give of Myself fully to you and you partake, meaning you receive Me, but then you must respond to this gift of Love by giving of yourself to Me. You must give Me of your blood in sacrifice and your body, which is your will. In the Eucharist I Am the Victim of Love. In order for you to become ONE BODY, ONE BLOOD in Me you must respond to become My victim of love, victim united as ONE to The Victim. What is required of My creature is her response, her "fiat", then the power of My Spirit, the Holy Spirit, brings about this perfect union. It is at the foot of the Cross with My Mother that you receive the outpouring of the Holy Spirit from My pierced side. It is He who will lead you through the narrow path of My Cross to perfect union in Me. (The perfect narrow path from the feet of Jesus crucified to His kiss) ≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈ ​ (6/16/11) Words placed in my heart from our Blessed Mother. A time is coming, and it is very near, in which life as you know it will cease to exist. You will experience hunger and much suffering. It is during this time that my reign will come, and through me, the power of the Holy Spirit will set the world on fire like you have never known. It is my army of victim souls that I am preparing for these decisive times, for it is their hidden lives, as One with my Eucharistic Son, that are being given the power form heaven to defeat Satan and all his principalities and raise My Son’s cohort of holy priests to usher in my reign. You have been given a mission from the Father and you will give birth to the Missionaries of the Cross, through the hidden force of love of the Mothers of the Cross, to help raise this holy cohort. Continue to live all we tell you and to suffer all with Jesus as I do and all will take place in your lives according to the Will of the Father. ≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈ LIVING HOST Invoking the maternal protection of Mary Most Holy, let us ask that each time we participate in the Eucharist we will also become witnesses to that charity which responds to evil with good (cf. Rom 12:51), offering ourselves as a living host to the one who lovingly gave himself up for our sake. -Benedict XVI, homily, Havana Cuba, 3/28/12 Living hosts, hidden force 7/9/11 My daughter, I am alive and present in the world in My Eucharist. But My living presence takes on human form in My living hosts. When I become alive in you, through the power of the Holy Spirit, it is no longer you but I who lives and takes My being in you. I am able to speak through your lips; My voice becomes audible through you; My hands touch and heal through your hands... I move outside the Tabernacle through you, thus reaching out to the four corners of the world. The power of God is spread through My living hosts and new life is given to many through My living chalices of My most precious Blood. You must proclaim from the housetops what you hear Me whisper in your heart (Mat. 10:27). This is My hidden force that will sweep through the world and holds the power of God. Hugh Owen in the book, “New and Divine” The Holiness of the Third Christian Millennium, explains the expression “Living Host”: Living Host - a person who performs his or her actions in eternity, together with Jesus, under the inspirations of the Holy Spirit. When a soul abandons herself to the Will of the Father through the Holy Spirit and shares in the eternally- present sufferings of Jesus, she becomes a "living host". (p.38) In their writings, Venerable Conchita and Archbishop Martinez refer to a similar state as the "Mystical Incarnation" and compare it to the state of a priest at the moment of the consecration during the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. Archbishop Martinez observed that the sacrament of Holy Orders unites a priest to Jesus in such a way that, at the moment of the consecration, Jesus - in the priest - changes the substance of bread and wine into Himself by the power of the Holy Spirit. But "total transformation" into "living host" required something more. It required that a human being - priest, religious, or lay - make the "marvelous exchange" of his independent human will for the Divine Will by allowing the Holy Spirt to unite him to Jesus in all of his acts.
