Purify my heart- Today's readings set forth the yearning of Purity

1/31/2026

"A pure heart create for me, O God,
and put a steadfast spirit within me.
Do not cast me away from your presence,
nor deprive me of your Holy Spirit."
Psalm 51, 10-11

Lord, purify my heart.
Cleanse me of my sin--
the obvious sins I recognize,
but also the sins most people do not see,
the one most so egregious to You.
Which is: the lack of trust--
the sin that offends You so deeply.
When the storm came and the apostles,
who had witnessed miracle after miracle,
were still afraid,
they cried out,
“Master, do you not care? We are going down!”
You arose, and the winds stopped instantly,
saying, “Quiet now. Be calm.”
Then You said to them,
“Why are you so frightened? How is it that you have no faith?”
Likewise, You elevated the centurion,
whose faith in You was so great
that he was worthy to be recorded in the Gospel--
a testimony we are still reading two millennia later.
You were making clear how You desire us to believe.
David showed this as well,
unobstructed by the size or strength of Goliath,
defending Your name when he said,
“I come against you in the name of the Lord Almighty,
the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.”
This lack of faith in the Trinity is deeply offensive.
The refusal to believe in Your mercy and forgiveness
is a grave sin of the heart.
Lord, help us to believe
that You can overcome every situation in our lives.
When trials come—whether sudden or long-standing--
let us proclaim:
“My God will save me, in His time.
I will wait with full trust in Him.”
Let us be proud of You,
so that You may be proud of us.
Let no disease, financial hardship, broken relationship,
or suffering weaken my trust in You.
If I feel my trust beginning to wane,
let me be quick to ask You
to pour deeper trust into my soul,
so that I may persevere through every hardship
and know You as You truly are to me:
God—my Father, Protector, Provider,
Healer, Comforter.
My God, You are my everything.
I see now, Lord,
how doubt and disbelief in You
are truly terrible impurities of the soul.
Lord, purify my heart.

Mother so True

1/1/2026

My dearest, sweetest Heavenly Mother,

How much do I owe to you!!! Thank you for grasping me as I was falling into the abyss from which I was descending. It was a terrifying life, shadowed with darkness—so much so that I did not know there was light that existed outside my sphere.

Like the good Mother you are, you saw me through to your Son, our Lord Jesus. You both brought me up from the depths in a singular moment of pure joy. The wonder of knowing you over the years after our first encounter has not always been easy, but it has been great!!! With you, you lift my chin when my face is downcast and fill me with immediate immense joy.
It has been a long pilgrimage, and I do not know when I will see you again, but like you said, you are always with me, and I believe that with all of my heart.

This is the time when your Immaculate Heart is casting light upon the layers of lies that have made their home on this earth. The rays of that light will banish the lies forever and place Truth back upon His throne, for Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.

“Thank you” is never going to be sufficient, but I know you smile at me and urge me to keep going. I know that you will never stop helping or loving, as you do every single one of your children on this earth. Yours is the truest motherly heart, unsullied by sin. The greatest thing you have done for me is bring me to your Son, who brought me to the Father. Hidden in the person of the staunchest of the Godhead, I found out the truth… He is pure love—His eyes looked upon me with the power of Love. That alone is the power that can transform and create.

Happy Feast Day Mama. I love you so much.

Detachment with a capital "D"

9/11/2024

You gotta love it....

I love God's brilliance; as always, we should copy him.

Today's readings speak of detachment, remembering that we are here for just a short time, today's readings are all about resetting ourselves so the Spirit of God comes down upon us and gives us a renewal of mind. As we continue our walk in life, sometimes we forget to keep it simple, and we start gathering things for our journey (titles, accolades, material things, power) and it weighs us down. It's hard to part with when you start to love worldly things and the worldly mentality that more is better. It is the opposite of God. Travel light.

When you strip yourself of the love of worldly things, you are actually clothing yourself in preparation for heaven's grandeur.

Listen, O daughter, give ear to my words.
forget your own people and your father’s house.
So will the king desire your beauty:
He is your lord, pay homage to him.

Listen, O daughter, give ear to my words.
The daughter of the king is clothed with splendor,
her robes embroidered with pearls set in gold.
She is led to the king with her maiden companions.

So Jesus in his brilliant way teaches the masses of people the beautiful attitudes- The BEATITUDES.

He says "happy is he" or "blessed is he" who....then He says something that does not typically make you happy...being poor, persecuted, in mourning, hated, and so forth. He wants us to be forward-thinking and deeply spiritual. If you are repelled by the world, it's a good thing. He wants us to know that with all the terrible things we encounter in life, those things don't really matter anyway. He says to listen to Him 🦻 because as you clothe yourself with this attitude, resetting your thinking, you become happier and lighter- you will know what things should make you happy. Knowing that he sets for us a standard for the state of our being. This goes back to his message to keep your eyes on him because He is all you need!!!

I definitely needed this message, and I think we all do at one time or another. He refreshes our souls. He makes all things new, most importantly our mind...and when he does, you then know the Holy Spirit is operating in you. He changes and frees us, so we have this wonderful example. Speak blessings, especially to your children.

Blessed are you!!!!

Love you all,

Karen

Happy Holy Sunday everyone!
Today is so important because God our perfect Father wants to be with you! It's so important that he wants your undivided attention because he wants to teach you, speak to you, guide you, and fill you with so many gifts that you'll need all the angels and saints to help you carry them! It's so important that he made it a commandment. It's so important that he doesn't want you to work today, unless necessary, so he can do his one-on-one with you.

Today since he wants you to rest in Him you'll have to follow His lead. God the Almighty Father is known to be the best planner. So we need to make this day so important to us that we do what it takes to avoid work. So we plan like him. We can cook, clean, stock and prep ahead making sure we are free to be with Him.

My ideal Sunday is to first invite Mary so that she can help make it beautiful for God. I pillage through the readings of the day. Sometimes, I understand what he's saying to me and the whole church immediately. Sometimes I have to wrestle and I read over and over until the gift of understanding settles gently into my mind. When that happens I feel the joy He gives me. It usually makes me tear. It touches me to the core. His words are that important and it lays the ground work for my direction for the week. I just praise and thank him for all he has done and will do, how he will be the one to take care of all my cares. This lifts the burdens from me. One of the biggest fears I have is the needs of my children. I wind up saying to God, they are really your children and you are the best Father so I give it to you and I will not worry.

Going to mass, I am prepared. I bless myself with the Holy Water and in my own words, I pledge again my baptism promises and renounce Satan and all that keeps me from Him. Then next part is to open my mind to whatever he wants, constantly listening attentively to each part of the mass so I can participate in mind and heart to the fullest. I try to sing with all of my heart hymns, and I know that I may not have the best voice. I know that He loves when we give our heart in all we do.

After the homily, oftentimes there are similar things the priest speaks about that I would get in contemplation, but when he teaches something new I rejoice because God teaches a fresh new perspective through his priest.

I used to see every time, the congregation united as one with the priest at the head offering to God. It looks like one glows upon us- indicating union. As the priest prays I would see through him a light from his mouth ascending to the Father and when transubstantiation occurred I would see a powerful flood of light coming down from heaven. I don't see it anymore, but I will myself to see it because it's true. So I imagine it.

The best part of all - Communion. As I walk up to him to receive, it's like walking up to my bridegroom. I receive him. I have to proclaim in my heart that God and all of heaven is in me. I have God's power to do his Will! I praise Him for He wants to be in me. O Lord, what kind of goodness is this, this complete Charity of the greatest Good offered us, yet many don't acknowledge your majesty!

I share this with you because He told me to bring souls into closer union with him, and I just don't know how to do it other than sharing my experience. Please make this day as important to you as it is to Him. I've seen people refuse to do other pleasurable worldly things saying, "This is important to me." I find that so beautiful. Yes, being in his presence is so beautiful. COMMUNION IS BEAUTIFUL.

I don't think you can find a CEO, a President of a nation, a celebrity willing to be with you like God! He gives you so many gifts as long as you empty your soul so he can lay them in there. If you are full of yourself, he has no place to lay the gifts down.

"He has cast down the mighty from their thrones,
and has lifted up the lowly.
He has filled the hungry with good things,
and the rich he has sent away empty."

I love you all and have the best time with our Father!

How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news

9/7/2024

I invite Mama Mary and Jesus to my day, my life, my cares, and my mission.
We invite the hearts of the Holy Family of whom there is perpetual harmony.

Hello all! I am going to talk to you about this verse on this First Saturday.

Genesis 3:15, “I will put enmities between thee and the woman, and thy seed and her seed: she shall crush thy head, and thou shalt lie in wait for her heel.”

God is speaking to the serpent and then to the devil dwelling in the serpent.

The enmity is the separation from Satan with his demons and Mary, obedient mother of the living, and her children, the children of Faith. This is the separation of life and death. Deuteronomy 30:19-20 "I place before life or death, blessing or curse..."

(ex. Even though eternal life is victorious, the children of Mary are not without suffering for this victory. Since the heel is the lowest part of the body, it is considered our lower faculties, our weaknesses. The devil is always waiting for us to trip up. He is the greatest opportunist. That is why God wants us to focus on His Holy Face in times of temptation so we don't become weakened by our temptations and sin. (ex. Peter on the water) Matthew 14:28 FOCUS

28 And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water. 29 And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.30But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. 31 And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt? 32 And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased.

(If you do the Rosary frequently and correctly contemplating on the mysteries...then you are on the right track because you are looking at Jesus and His life.)

As you practice all the virtues exemplified by Mary, those temptations become more and more distant. It's like a dark stranger who gets repelled from you in the room.

Just stand by Mary, look at Jesus in your mind's eye, and know who you are- a sinner and knowing your desperate need for God all the time! Wallowing your sinfulness never diminishes His Love for you. If you think it ever did, from the whispers of Satan, you need to contemplate God's love more often.

You are on the right side of the line. It's victorious but it is at a price. The price of the most precious blood. If you suffer in union with Jesus, you share His Life in a way that purifies. Jesus's pure blood, a lamb that was slain that had NO BLEMISH. The most pristine, immaculate one of humankind..paid the price for us. That lifeblood was pure because its constitution was that of pure unadulterated LOVE. A love that can never originate by us... but we can take and eat, and it becomes one with us! We commune and we decrease and he increases if we let him. We have to submit to the Lord to permit Him to use our bodies, minds, and our hands so he may live in this world through us. We will be joyful participants as He delivers us from ourselves and possess us fully. As we witness his power, joy, love, and peace there is no greater reward.

So the devil ensnares, lies waiting for a way that he can twist, lie, and accuse. Look at the media, do you see any parallels? I do.

Prior to when Mama Mary appeared to me, I had persecuted her. She came in complete love, and no blame was found in her. The love that exuded out of her won me over instantly...I didn't have a chance, love is too irresistible!!!! There was no blame or condemnation.

My empty, aching heart was satisfied- I needed and craved the Love of God, and Mama Mary's presence fed me! How did she know Love so well? Maybe it's because He was nestled in her womb for 9 months, the two hearts beat together in the harmonious beat of love and life. Her blood had the nutrition to feed Him, and His Divine Blood mingled with hers. The Precious Blood was poured into Mary. Who can be more in union with God than Mary?! Her womb witnessed the first beat of the Sacred Heart- the tiny heart in human form! Oh my Gosh, just thinking of this makes me cry!

We look at our suffering as what connects us closely to Jesus. If you truly understood the power of suffering (united with His), you would never complain again. Jesus the King of Sorrows suffered first.

Guide to STEPPING ON THE SERPENT head

1. Hold Mama Mary's and Jesus's hand on your daily walk.

2. Go to Mass and Frequent Confession.

It was in the Mass that I saw Heaven and Earth join together. I didn't expect it but it goes to show that if your interior is cleansed and participate in God's life, he shows you his majesty, awesomeness, and completeness of the Church during Mass. He even allows you to see Christ in you and how you are completely equipped to spread his love after Mass.

3. Pray to mirror Mama's virtues:

*They are:

Profound humility
Lively faith
Blind obedience
Continual prayer
Universal mortification
Divine purity
Ardent charity
Heroic patience
Angelic sweetness
Divine wisdom

4. Trust Jesus

Continual Divine Mercy Chaplets
Do the staring game with the Divine Mercy Image
See what Works of Mercy you can do for the day

5. Write love letters to Jesus

be as transparent as possible

I hope this helps, I just want us all to love him more and more and be united children. That'll make our Father so happy!

Love,

Karen

I have to apologize

9/6/2024

Hello all! I speak the name of Jesus over all of you and your families, your daily duty, your path, your mission, your weaknesses, and your special intentions. I speak God's life over you, that if you are in any addiction, he will free you from that prison. In the name of Jesus, receive.

'The Lord is my strength and my song, and He has become my salvation; this is my God, and I will praise Him, my father's God, and I will exalt Him.'

I need to get something off my chest. I need to apologize. I drove to the beautiful Cathedral of Sts. Peter and Paul on the Feast of the Assumption, August 15th. Upon contemplation, I received something that I was to share. Sometimes I forget to write it down due to travel but it was arrestingly beautiful. Our Lady reminded me today to share it. She reminded me because she loves us all so very much.

The rosary and the scapular will save the world. I was reminded from a couple of years ago prepping for a 40-hour devotion why she wanted it on the Feast of Our Lady of Mt Carmel. I saw a very steep mountain, and all of us were trying to climb it, it was hard. I saw her on top, she let down the scapular and on the cords of the scapular, we grabbed it like a rope and climbed it easily. Then she said, My Children if you are cold, lost, or scared - she took her brown cloak and swirled it and it covered us all, that's how big it was. That was the scapular.

Well after remembering that a couple of weeks ago, I saw that she assumed into heaven, and as she did suddenly cords dropped. She was leaving for heaven, but the scapular was like a spiritual umbilical cord that kept us intimately close to our Heavenly Mother. She wants us to know without a doubt she is with us, she is a good mom and will nourish us spiritually. We are on her mind at all times. The twelve stars represent us children of faith, and it crowns her- so her mind is always thinking of us. These things are profound, but the heavenly treasures are revealed to those who want to learn like simple children.

You are her treasure, she doesn't want you lost. She would not cry in her statues if it weren't true. She wouldn't have made all these appearances all over the world if it weren't true. Even if your own earthly mother doesn't care for you as she should, Our Heavenly mother makes up for all of that. She loves you so much that it explodes out of her Immaculate Heart. Wear your scapular proudly and don't neglect the rosary.

Speak blessings in Jesus name upon all the abortionists, the traitors of God, the people who got caught up in the woke culture, the politicians who go against God's laws, the people with lost identity, kidnappers, the people spreading false news creating division. Speak the name of Jesus.

I love you all.

Powerful word of Jesus

9/5/2024

2 Comments

For the past two weeks, I've been inspired by the same words...

Proverbs 18:21 states, "Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit".

Speak life, speak life, speak life! Take authority over your words. If people speak negatively about your life, or the life of your children, or family, you have the power to cancel those words in the name of Jesus and speak life. You can leave a trail of life behind you through your days and nights. DO NOT HESITATE. The power God grants your words to perform spiritual makeovers. Start now.

My God shall supply all of my needs according to his riches in glory.

The way I go about this is I speak the power of Jesus over and over and then name anything that is immobile, dead, and ineffective.

If you find your children buried in sloth and addiction, you need to help them, not condemn them. You can release God's power by faith and expect results: "I pray blessings for you to climb over this mountain". With God all things are possible.

Make sure you speak the words with conviction, make sure you believe Jesus can do this, and make sure you add, "if it be your Holy Will".

Jesus gave us the Lord's prayer.

Yesterday he pointed out to me this phrase, "Thy kingdom come thy Will be done on earth as it is in heaven."

Don't think temporally, change your mindset and see things the way God wants you to view them. This is deeply mystical, he wants you to enter into the interior life. When you are aligned with God's Will, you experience heaven here on earth. The earth and all that is in it praises him. Love, Joy and Peace resound out of your soul. But you can't experience this when you are disordered. Go to God and have him lead you into perfection, into his righteousness. Scales fall and you will see!!!

Sending you all Love,

Karen

He took and recieved my life...but I received more

9/4/2024

1 Comment

There came a time in my life when all my ideals were shattered. There was a time in my life when my fever (like Peter's mom's) was a deep, deep depression and blindness and Jesus put his hand on me, through Blessed Mother's intercession...and I was healed in a profound instant. I was up and running, waiting on people (again like Peter's mother) the new word was SERVICE. My daily bread was serving Jesus in the people I saw. I felt the joy in my heart as I followed a new ideal just because I fell in love with LOVE.

I no longer had the need to follow the direction people were going...but to follow the Will of God as he seared the direction into my heart. Even though oftentimes it is NOT popular. He wants his children retrieved from the danger they are heading as they are led on the wrongful path of destruction...

Jesus, I will follow you into the garden of Gethsemane, I will accept the scourges and put your painful crown on my head and carry the cross, because, with you in the lead, it can only lead to everlasting life. May I in some small way console your beautiful perfect Heart. Your Heart captured my heart.

"Take, Lord, receive all my liberty, my memory, my understanding, my whole will, all that I have and all that I possess. You gave it all to me, Lord; I give it all back to you. Do with it as you will, according to your good pleasure. Give me your love and your grace; for with this I have all that I need." -St Ignatius

Take my face into your hands, and hold it so that my eyes are only fixed on your eyes, and my peripheral vision becomes blind.

Unity is really a Miracle

8/31/2024

1 Comment

Hello everyone,
I got lost in a project like this at the next conference. It is called"The Miracle of Unity" and you will love it!

Just so you know, the last Conference was on the Restoration of the Catholic Church, the Body of Christ. When the evil one has people blaming each other for wrongdoings, he is actually orchestrating this confusion and destruction. It was publicly known that the devil bragged to Jesus that he could destroy His Church. Pope Leo XIII, being a first-hand witness, composed the St. Michael prayer so that the church could prepare for this battle. So a century later, we can see how the devil has bludgeoned the Church by producing damaged souls, the culture of death, the downfall of family life, and the lack of faith and proliferation of impurity.

But God already told us that our church cannot be destroyed! He is HEALER!

So if the rock is a foundation, and God proclaims that the Pope is the rock from which the Church stands, what do you think the devil's plan would be? He plans to make people doubt the promise of the Lord Jesus! The truth is that God has given us a Church that would persevere here on earth and assure us the way to salvation, it can't be destroyed. So the evil one will try to pry those who are faithful apart from the Church. We are in the final battle. And God wins.

That's what the next conference is all about. Though the evil one will use all the power he has to destroy the church, God's power is even greater and He will restore.

I have been inspired for weeks to contemplate on the Beheading of St. John the Baptist. In meditation, I received nothing for weeks. Then the day before the feast of the Beheading of John the Baptist, I understood! John the Baptist prepared the way for Jesus through repentance. Through baptism and repentance, those people were able to see Jesus- the Truth. The Pharisees and scribes limited themselves because of their pride (and you know that pride is blinding) because they wouldn't repent nor would they even give St. John a chance. It goes to show that being knowledgeable about the laws and precepts is just not enough without a relationship with God. Diving into spirituality is what St. Faustina taught me. My late spiritual director taught me to mesh it with daily scripture to validate it (LD). Padre Pio taught me obedience to Authority and how it is what brings you back into the Garden, the Spiritual Life (the devil took us out of it and wants us to stay out!) The spiritual life flourishes when you are obedient to Authority and we're the only Church that has it! The funneling of Grace passes through this way!

So going back, I was contemplating the Beheading. John was beheaded for unabashedly proclaiming the TRUTH. But what does this mean? It means people don't want to hear the truth. They would rather believe in the lie: propaganda, the false authorities, the media, the sensationalists.

This next conference deals with returning the Head of the Church, the Pope, to his proper place(in the minds and hearts of people); bringing order to obedience, and proclaiming the Truth. Enemies of the church have tried to chop his head off, and when the head is separated from the Body, we all know that mayhem ensues. If you are convinced by these people who say he is a heretic, an antipope, etc... I say, give this conference a chance. It'll show you what the false news doesn't show you. You may be pleasantly surprised! And I ask you to please listen with an open heart. The Hearts of the Holy Family bring us to live in harmony with God within the center of ourselves, our families, our communities, and our nation.

It will be an online conference on the Feast of St. Padre Pio, September 23, 2024, (as per God's direction) with Brilliant speakers who are full of Charity.

Love you all,

Karen

The Lord proclaims peace!!! The God-Hero comes to save

8/9/2024

0 Comments

The demon Belial will no longer harm the land. Belial the demon of lawlessness is destroyed, believe the Words of the Lord for it is Truth itself. Restoration is resounding on the land and peace to His people...believe, believe for nothing is truer that His Word. When all man fail on their promises, God is the Promise Keeper and will never let us down. Be fortified because he comes majestically on his horse with his sword held high to claim victory over his people. He is our Champion and our Hero.

Now I say to you that you are Peter (which means 'rock'), and upon this rock I will build church, and all the powers of hell will not conquer it. Matthew 16:18

Without Peter, there is no place the Church can stand. As per Jesus, upon this rock I will build church, he did not say side by side but the Pope is the Foundation of the Church. Authority is gift we have that no other church has.

Those who kept true to His laws, he will save. Those who repented with tears, will be saved. Those who created dissension from within and out his Church, spreading lies and fear of His Pontiff and the Magisterium, in effect making God's word a lie, they will have to answer for this violence. For blood is in their hands... don't you know that His Children are the most PRECIOUS in His sight and you who have tried to separate them from the protection of His established Word. Your persistence in this wrongdoing will purchase your just reward. Was not the pure reason for the purpose of the Church to bring his children to Himself?... and you tried to sever the union? Any prophet who prophesied against the Pope is a false prophet. Period. Those who dishonor him, dishonors the Heavenly Father. There will be some people who confess of this sin and there will be those who continue on their rampage but they will fall into the pit they have contrived.

Where is love in you? Have you not learned? Have you not heeded? All that can be seen in you is REBELLION. Can you imagine, the plunderers are saying they are his own people but they are liars... their deeds will need to be answered for. They have hardened their hearts to true wisdom, and ignored people who pleaded for them to stop their action. But no more, no more will they use the pen or their mouths to persecute anymore. Divine wrath is upon them. You will not battle against the ship anymore. You watch and see.

No power, popularity, no likes, no subscriber count, no money is worth going against power God. Bring others to safety, bring them to confess and be in union with the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church. You will be leading them to the side of life, and God will reward you for loving your neighbor.

Matthew 24:35 For I tell you truly, until heaven and earth pass away, not a single jot, not a stroke of a pen, will disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.

If you don't believe me, read his Word .

First reading
Nahum 2:1,3,3:1-3,6-7
Israel restored; Nineveh ruined
See, over the mountains the messenger hurries!
‘Peace!’ he proclaims.
Judah, celebrate your feasts,
carry out your vows,
for Belial will never pass through you again;
he is utterly annihilated.
Yes, the Lord is restoring the vineyard of Jacob
and the vineyard of Israel.
For the plunderers had plundered them,
they had broken off their branches.
Woe to the city soaked in blood,
full of lies,
stuffed with booty,
whose plunderings know no end!
The crack of the whip!
The rumble of wheels!
Galloping horse,
jolting chariot,
charging cavalry,
flash of swords,
gleam of spears...
a mass of wounded,
hosts of dead,
countless corpses;
they stumble over the dead.
I am going to pelt you with filth,
shame you, make you a public show.
And all who look on you will turn their backs on you and say,
‘Nineveh is a ruin.’
Could anyone pity her?
Where can I find anyone to comfort her?
Responsorial Psalm
Deuteronomy 32:35-36,39,41
It is the Lord who deals death and life.
It is close, the day of their ruin;
their doom comes at speed.
For the Lord will see his people righted,
he will take pity on his servants.
It is the Lord who deals death and life.
See now that I, I am He,
and beside me there is no other god.
It is I who deal death and life;
when I have struck it is I who heal.
It is the Lord who deals death and life.
When I have whetted my flashing sword
I will take up the cause of Right,
I will give my foes as good again,
I will repay those who hate me.
It is the Lord who deals death and life.
Gospel Acclamation1S3:9,Jn6:68
Alleluia, alleluia!
Speak, Lord, your servant is listening:
you have the message of eternal life.
Alleluia!
Or:Mt5:10
Alleluia, alleluia!
Happy those who are persecuted
in the cause of right,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Alleluia!
Gospel
Matthew 16:24-28
Anyone who loses his life for my sake will find it
Jesus said to his disciples: ‘If anyone wants to be a follower of mine, let him renounce himself and take up his cross and follow me. For anyone who wants to save his life will lose it; but anyone who loses his life for my sake will find it. What, then, will a man gain if he wins the whole world and ruins his life? Or what has a man to offer in exchange for his life?
‘For the Son of Man is going to come in the glory of his Father with his angels, and, when he does, he will reward each one according to his behaviour. I tell you solemnly, there are some of these standing here who will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming with his kingdom.’
