Transfigured- That's what he does with you and I

8/6/2024

In the Kingdom of God, the thrones that were set up with the Ancient One seated at the center....surging flames came from His throne. There were thrones prepared and Jesus came in a cloud before His Father. I may have written in a past about the Transfiguration. In that little space of time, Jesus showed Peter, James and John a glimpse of the heavenly realm. Thrones are set up for those who have a special assignment for the kingdom of God. They are for those that served for his purpose. In the scene presented to those apostles, they saw Moses, Elijah and Jesus in glory.

Moses was to deliver the Law of God and Elijah represented the prophets. Each was for the purpose of keeping the lambs intact so they would be brought into the safety of Heaven. The Law keeps the lambs righteous and the prophets kept them on the path, and when they ventured off- boy, would they hear it from the prophets whether they wanted to or not. Most of the times, you see that the people wanted their own way and even had the nerve to harm the prophets.

In the center of all stood Jesus. All that God does is to show He loves us and wants us to Himself, the Law and Prophets were established in LOVE. All those who teach the law and those who have been gifted with leading the lambs need to be the very figure of Christ, who surges LOVE as fiery fire. Love must be at the center of the law and the counsel of men if you are tasked (which we all are called to) to bringing people into the Kingdom.

Does it surprise you that I saw His Throne surging with fire? Believe me, I thought I would faint and I wanted to hide. It is such majesty beyond our imagination. But He wants to bring us all there to see these wondrous things, so that we can pine for Heaven. We will have that determination to bring our brothers and sisters there, too. We need to dive into that spirituality.

How does that disposition occur when many a time we are caught up in our life and we don't have patience and the love we need??? Easy. Be still. Fill up. Demand it from God. Don't be afraid. I pray, "Lord you are sending me out, but I am empty. You need me to fill me up for your children. Your children need your Love Lord and I don't have it." These are the things we can demand of Him for what Father would deny their child love? Especially He who is All Good and has a never ending supply. Don't forget, our Father in heaven has wheels on his Golden Throne, because He doesn't walk to your assistance, he comes riding with the thunderous velocity.

After praying that prayer, somehow during the day, a searing moment catches me off guard- tears come down and my heart is melted like wax, my heart is burning with the desires of the Father. The Father that seeks to fill his children with love. My response is, "Where shall I go Lord? Lead me with this LOVE that needs to be consumed". The rest is His Prodding. Transfigured, I go about his call. Transfigured with LOVE. Those Apostles were transfigured with LOVE, for who would die a death of a martyr unless filled with the LOVE that knows no fear.

* Jesus who led me to the Father, removed the veil. When I saw Him -Our Father, His eyes are starstruck with love. Our eyes lock and everything disappears....His Gaze of Love makes you feel whole. Know our Father. Be repelled by people who blame and who accuse. They're following another father who is not Our Father. I defend the Father of Love because I know Him.

Hear the voice of your God

Today's readings are very important. God speaks as a Father who wants to make sure his children are intact.

There are men out there in high positions. They have led people astray from the true church. They have led people into apostasy. God has promised that they will fall from the earth and their words they had proclaimed will have no bearing.
" The prophet Jeremiah said to the prophet Hananiah, ‘Listen carefully, Hananiah: the Lord has not sent you; and thanks to you this people are now relying on what is false. Hence – the Lord says this, “I am going to throw you off the face of the earth: you are going to die this year since you have preached apostasy from the Lord.”’ The prophet Hananiah died the same year, in the seventh month." Jeremiah 28:17

To the soul that seeks out the heart of God and wants to know if he is in good order, or if there is any deceit planted in his heart, and trusts in Him... he will be satisfied with God’s grace because he has humbled himself before the Lord and allowed God to truly be His Lord.
"Lord, teach me your statutes.
Keep me from the way of error
and teach me your law.
Do not take the word of truth from my mouth
for I trust in your decrees." Psalms 119:33-37

For the one who cares about your soul doesn’t lead you astray but leads you to TRUTH and safety. He feeds you materially and spiritually. For cannot God feed his own people?
"And breaking the loaves handed them to his disciples who gave them to the crowds. They all ate as much as they wanted, and they collected the scraps remaining; twelve baskets full. Those who ate numbered about five thousand men, to say nothing of women and children." Matthew 14:13-21

God's greatest desire is for us to walk as ONE (the Church) in the pilgrimage that leads us safely to heaven . The devil knows how much God wants us and wants to hurt God through us. He wants the sheep scattered, confused, and lost. The Catholic Church is the guarantee that He truly is with us...even when evil pulls us away, we can come running back into the fold. God's message to us encourages us and is righteous and never leads us away from the Truth. Evil blames and condemns.

Precious people of God, know how much He Loves you. Remember, when you feel anxious and hit by the bad news in the airwaves....Serve someone in need...the Acts of Mercy reels you right back in. When you serve the least of his brethren you are serving Him.

Musings that put me into amazement

7/31/2024

Today as I ventured into my "quiet space", I started to contemplate upon the Holy Shroud of Turin. I revisited this reflection.. a few years ago, I was so full of joy thinking about the most powerful force, the electromagnetic radiation- A BURST OF LIGHT that emitted the imprint of Jesus on the cloth.....as powerful as it was, it was gentle enough not to destroy the cloth. This same cloth could have also been the first Eucharistic Tablecloth. The Shroud could have been the cloth upon which He gave His Life, saying those words that prove that 'and greater works than these will you do' because the Eucharist multiplies with every mass all over the world in every hour, everyday in each generation... "We hear the words of Jesus: “Take this, all of you, and eat of it, for this is my Body, which will be given up for you.” And soon after, “Take this, all of you, and drink from it, for this is the chalice of my Blood, the Blood of the new and eternal covenant, which will be poured out for you and for many for the forgiveness of sins. Do this in memory of me.”

“For the Jews, in the great solemnities, and [Passover] being the greatest of them all, it was common to use two tablecloths in a ritual way, to remember the journey through the desert after leaving Egypt. A first tablecloth on which food was deposited, was followed by a second cloth one would place on top of the plates, to prevent sand from falling into the food, as well as to keep insects at bay. [This] makes sense because Christ was buried in a rush. He died around three o’clock on a Friday afternoon, and was to be buried before approximately six o’clock on the same day, right before Sabbath began. The reasonable thing is that Joseph of Arimathea used whichever elements he had at hand, and a tablecloth of those characteristics was in fact the perfect way to shroud a body.”

(The Holy Tablecloth: Could It Be the Same One Used at the Last Supper By George Ryan)
- August 30, 2021

So the Shroud and the womb of the Blessed Virgin both have indelible reception of the Word made flesh. They both received the God/man themselves into life. Both marked with the veracity of His Incarnation...one, housed in the Virginal flesh for 9 months! The Virgin was pleasing to God ...The angel Gabriel exclaim, "Hail full of Grace". Blessed among all women, she was designated by God for this singular role, from all eternity she was reserved to bear the God/man in this unique way. It was the FATHER'S PLAN. There wasn't a few virgins in selection, she was 'IT'. If her fiat was not received by God, God's plan would be foiled as God foretold through the Prophets of old. But it wasn't foiled. Mary gave her 'yes'...and it was laced with the Elation of her Praise from her purest heart. Apparently that joy was so overwhelmingly contagious that Elizabeth joined in as she uttered the prophetic word which proved that Mary believed, something that Zechariah did not...."blessed is she who believed that the word of the Lord would fulfill His promises to her"!!! So Mary, Elizabeth, John and Jesus had a leaping party filled to brim with jubilation!" (by the way, they were all prophets...and the smallest one being the King of Prophets!).

The two are the proofs that Jesus came to life- as an infant and when Jesus resurrected from death. Each one should be reflected with exultant triumphant praise and thanksgiving.

The cloth that was supposed to drape him in death was the one that recorded his coming back to LIFE. The Shroud is the proof of Jesus's Victory and Satan's defeat. This is true for Mary's womb too. (For never was there a person to be born of a virgin except the Holy One of Israel!) All generations call Mary blessed- in fact, the mention of Mary's womb is uttered over and over again by the faithful in the Hail Mary prayer.

How great is our God!

Thanksgiving to God the Almighty Father, in Jesus through the Holy Spirit

My Dearest One,

I just want to thank you for the beautiful work you have done. You have brought dedicated people who love You and Your Will, to speak of your Divine Plan. We have experienced so much pain and trauma in the years past but without a doubt we know that you, Our Father, will step in and restore your most Holy Church Yourself! Gather us children into the safe refuge of your loving arms!!!!

Your love and faithfulness is not based on our love, because we would surely be left dismally low if that were true. But your Love is an everlasting love that saves us and is infinitely greater than what we can ever imagine. It is enough to know that your love is unconditional and we can always draw from the wellspring of your love even when we have turned the wrong way. Your love is always present, always accessible and always full.

To you alone I give glory, You will have your way. You want healing and protection for your children- for you are a good, good Father. We are the children of God and no-one can take that away from us unless, we allow that by our own admission.

Be exalted Father in our small offering to you - the Catholic Everything Expo2 where the Exposition of the Church you so lovingly gave us is lifted on high.

May the doors of your Church swing open wide to all people so there they will be, like a spiritual hospital, truly healed, transformed, loved, ordered, and fed to be good and strong Christian soldiers ready and willing to seek out more souls for the glory of your Name!

Amen.

Who can know the Father except through his only Beloved Son?

This was written by a five year old girl. She didn't get it by any reading material or any other way than by sitting in front of the Eucharist. Daily. She would see an empty Adoration Chapel filled with angels everywhere. To her it was full. She would see a guardian angel with each person. Some people had more than one. She said priests always had more than one. She could speak to them and they responded. She spoke to Jesus in the Eucharist and he would respond. She would see Mama Mary's hands spread and rays of light coming down on people....She didn't know about the Miraculous Medal yet.

I know this was true. I can vouch for it. In my reversion, my children were so blessed to be able to go to Mass everyday. Go to Adoration also. Pick out their favorite food items from the grocery to give it to the soup kitchen, because it might be someone else's favorite, too. They weren't afraid of the cemetery because there we would pray for the Holy Souls in Purgatory and know that their prayers rose straight up to heaven and souls would get released. We went weekly to make sure those souls were helped.

They had a very beautiful childhood because it was filled with the Presence of God. They were benefiting from:

'Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these. '

I, too, was so blessed because having my reversion at the time that I did, they were brought to God and I was having a second childhood, seeing, learning, eating, celebrating....He was reversing my selfishness, my "sophistication", the fallacious arrogant ways I conducted of myself... I became free! I was learning God's ways in the glimpses He showed me through the children.

The girl above is my daughter. She was taught to write entries daily in her "My Love Letters to God" notebook. Their hearts were filled with gifts because they came to the Gift Giver and they had emptied their hearts to him, and he laid his gifts within it. This is not bragging (well...it is...in God!). It's a reality when you take them to their "real" Father. They fly in their gifts of the Holy Spirit.

I beg of you, if you can....take them. You will please the Father so much! If you cannot, then teach them. Little children embrace faith without trying, they are not marred by the world. And one more thing....... PROTECT THEM WITH YOUR LIFE.

God bless you all,

I love you with the love of Jesus!

Karen

PS When they became of age they did become worldly. But now they chose coming back, not because their mother led them to come back. They chose using their free will to come back because the sacramental seed was planted. Life is still ongoing, but at least they are on track now!!!!! Praise God!

Thank you for caring and loving us so much Mama Mary!

Can you imagine how the perfect mother loves? The perfect mother who cries tears because her children are in danger. They have wandered too far off into the darkness and she comes to call them close to her Son. The several apparitions made to the simple-Bernadette, Francisco, Lucia, Jacinta, Juan Diego, Margaret Mary and the many, many others. By speaking to them, she furnished us with directions of prayer, fasting, repentance….all things that cost nothing but our heart and our time…all to get back to safe abode God’s protection.

How the evil one hates this very powerful strong adversary- the poor, simple, humble obedient Mary. She represents the perfect mother, the perfect daughter and the perfect spouse. Why? Because Love perfected her vocation, her actions, her being. Sin numbs people shielding graces but for the Blessed Mother devoid of sin, the grace of God shone through her powerfully in the fullness of life and she came to share the Life that was shining in and through her. She wants us to hold her hand and she will lead us through the uncertainties of life. Life is changing constantly and we’ve seen great big changes over the past few years, but one thing that does not change is God love. That’s why he’s sent and shared his mother, the model of God’s of perfect handiwork.

Our mother is our constant and perpetual help. At the throne room she is constantly interceding before God for us. Those that come to her to ask for help, she calls out their names before the Almighty presence of God. He never says no to her. Even before Jesus started his public ministry, she expedited its coming because she cares for our situations. In that particular case in the wedding of Cana, she didn’t even have to be asked to help….and that tells you something. Invite her to every aspect of your life like they did at the wedding, and she will take care of your needs. He cannot say no to her, because he created the Ten Commandments, the 4th being honor your father and mother….subjecting himself to the laws that he has made.

In excruciating pain Jesus hung on the cross, pouring out his blood and his life to humanity to bridge us to the Father. Yet….he still gave us in his Last Will and Testament the foe of the ancient one…he gave us his mother, her heart stricken with the most pain you can possibly endure. He wanted to have us bring her under our roof. St John represents us, “the beloved.” You know the saying, “Mi casa es tu casa.” In this act he was saying, “Mi mama es tu mama.” The undefeatable foe of Satan comes into our home. Her very presence terrifies him. That’s how important she is. But the devil has many fooled because he doesn’t want us to use his greatest enemy.

Scientifically they share one Blood as evidenced in the Eucharistic Miracles. In the testing of the blood, there was found to be one set of chromosomes, so he got her looks, his genetic makeup, he got her blood. Their hearts beat in proximate intimacy in her womb- no one got closer to His Heart than she. And He chose so.

He gave her His Holy Spirit to dwell perpetually in her heart, his royalty to be the Queen of Heaven and Earth, a miraculous maternity that didn’t go the normal route of natural law. They shared the Love to do the Father’s Will.

So with a heart full of Love, I give my tribute to the Blessed Virgin, our mother. Mama Mary, you are crowned with the highest crown- Motherhood. I greet you Happy Mother’s day and thank you for all that you do. May the devotion and love of those who understand your role be a consolation in your most Immaculate Heart.

Then the dragon was enraged at the woman and went off to wage war against the rest of her offspring—those who keep God’s commands and hold fast their testimony about Jesus. ~. Revelations : 17

You Freed Me, My Father

One of my favorite scriptures is:

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. ~Jeremiah 29:11

He has plans for each and every one of us. Do we ask him what it is? Well, I did. And I do. Every single day. Moreover, he matured me levels up. In intimate talks with him He started inspiring me to ask …….”Can you share with me your Plan?” By that, I didn’t mean His individual plan for me but the overall plan for humanity.

Because of the, ‘ ask and you shall receive’ verse, I asked and I then received….. I think He was happy to share His Plan. I ask for it day by day. I also ask that I live in totally his Will. Following, I feel these piercing moments sprinkled throughout the day when He shares with me another ray that absorbs into my head, a light ray of understanding. I see that his Plan is so superlative and I wind up saying to Him, “Father, you are such a genius!”…. I would repeat over and over again how good He is, there are no word in any language in any dictionary to measure the depth of his goodness…that’s why I just simple say with a heart smiling wide, “You..are..so..good!” This must be of God, I would think, because it gives me a sense of awe and wonder, peace, trust in Him fully…and pervades my being with LOVE.

Please ask Him…. He wants to get all his children in on it. A good father wants to share his plans with his children. It harmonizes within me completely…..every building block of his plan is fully contained with the fullness of love. How He satisfies the soul!

When your eyes are open to that overwhelming tidal wave of love in every direction, you don’t fear anything. How I wish all would dive in! Surely our disordered lives will come to order rapidly!

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths." ~Proverbs 3:5-6

I love you all!

Yesterday, I had to work on a certain part of the Expo that needed to be addressed.

I worked with two trusted friends whose opinions I value- and their opinions varied considerably from one another..

Each talked of their reasoning behind why they would take a certain action and route. There were tense moments. But we kept on and we eventually winded up making a modified plan. This is exactly what Pope Francis is teaching us. The Synodal Way!!! Walking together in the pilgrimage of life. We all have something valuable to offer even if we have completely differing viewpoints. The important thing is to listen, listen and listen!!!

When we hash out an important issue and progress moving forward, that is the Holy Spirit working in us. This has always been the way of the Church. We are a church of gifted people. The point is working together we can get much more accomplished than being solo. It is important not to break away because you don’t agree and you feel like things will be better off “your” way.

Unfortunately in this time and age we disagree and then split. The evil one does not want us to be effective and accomplished. He wants us dead-ended. As you can see…people blow up emotionally because they get “offended”. We have to not react to the spirit of offense that goes around and allow the Holy Spirit to help us lay down our pride and work things out. Again, listen and be listened to. It takes maturity, self awareness, self control, being mission-minded and shooting for a united goal. When we meet our goals, we can look back, and though it may have been a rough ride, we can be happy with accomplishing our goals….together. What an offering to God we can present when he sees his children working together.

This applies in all levels in life... marriages, the family level, the school level, the community level, the church family, the work place, etc…

We are the workers for the vineyard, servants of the Lord….as long as we keep that attitude and continually renew our minds, asking for God's infilling, we will be making strides in making this a better more peaceful world.

So we are at the day after the Feast of Divine Mercy; it's the Feast of the Annunciation. Happy Feast day!

I have always been a loud voice for the Divine Mercy...why? Because I do want everyone to be sheltered under the shadow of His Wings. If you do the requirements for the Extraordinary Promise, there will be absolutely nothing between you and God. NOTHING, NADA!!!! You can take it to the bank!

You can be confident that it's the closest you can be to Him, not to mention your purgatory time is totally annihilated! God is not a destroyer he is a builder but this I can say, he destroys obstacles from our union- if we but let him!!! Just follow His two easy steps... Communion...Confession on week after Easter.....You can't get easier than that and it just goes to prove that the number one thing he wants is us!!!

How bless are the people who actually die on that day... Like Pope John Paul II dying on the eve of the Divine Mercy, with all the conditions met for the Promise!!! How blessed to know that he was gliding in the heavenly realm instantaneously!

I have the greatest news a mother can ever have! All 5 of my kids received this great gift of the Feast of Divine Mercy!!! My cup overfloweth! I couldn't have more joy than I have this very moment. I have to tell you my secret. I took the shortcut. I told mama Mary she has to make it happen since they are really her children! She does a great job doesn't she???

I hope you had a wonderful Divine Mercy Feast! I hope I don't come down from this high!!! Just sharing the JOY OF OUR SALVATION!

I love you all with the love of the Lord!

Karen

PS if you received communion in the state of Grace yesterday, but haven't gone to confession...the Holy See says you have up to twenty days. Please rush into his arms!!! You won't regret it!

It’s so hard to see a parent die but it’s harder to see your own child die. The anguish seems impossible to endure. People talk about the three days of darkness. I’m sure in Mama Mary‘s life, this is the second day. The three days of darkness is experienced every year when the loss of Jesus pains your heart, knowing that the light of the world, was put out for three days. Today people talk about the three days of darkness that incites fear…the one I’m talking about incites sorrow. The sorrow of loss not the fear of what you will lose.

Good Friday didn’t turn out to be the way I wanted it to be this year, It took a turn because I needed to babysit three grandchildren under four years old. I embraced it as it was-God‘s Will for me . I did teach them simplistically the story of Adam and Eve - their disobedience, and how Jesus came and died for us. My eldest granddaughter cried and looked up at the cross- “I don’t want him to die”, she said with her tear stained face. My other granddaughter, immediately said, “look he’s alive”, as she pointed at the resurrected Divine Mercy image!” How beautiful and pure the thoughts of little children. Aaliyah kissed Christ’s feet to make him feel better. Amazing compassion! How precious and pure are their ways! When they left, it was late, so what I could do was watch the Passion of the Christ with my mom.

And then I remembered long ago a reflection that the Lord gave me for a long time and it stayed with me. I remember Jesus, uttering as he carried the heavy cross, “because I love them, because I love them, because I love them“, with each labored step on Calvary to Golgotha. There’s significance in the Golgotha name which means the empty skull. He showed me that he took that cross of his and staked it on the empty skull of pride and disobedience and claimed it by putting his banner there …

He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love.
Song of Solomon 2:4

Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you.
John 6:53

“The banner over me is love”. Jesus is the banner on the pole staked so that souls might have divine wisdom and the fullness of His Spirit through the banquet off His Body and Blood. The myriad of souls that have gained God’s thoughts by the embrace of God and walking away from pride. Jesus countered Satan’s pride…Adam and Eve’s pride with total humility. He countered disobedience with submissive obedience. But most of all, he countered everything with love.

You and I have seen the proliferation of Christians after the death and resurrection of Jesus, who have become his followers. So many that books cannot contain them all. The many of virgins, martyrs, religious, parents, teachers, etc. living and dying for Christ. He built his kingdom on earth establishing a throne on the Cross, which is also his altar of sacrifice. Crowned with thorns, yes to suffer but to gain a dominion, a sovereignty. Retrieving what was lost for the love of the Father and the love of you and me.

His subjects know how to serve, their attributes are recognizable- to live life for the purpose of gaining more subjects for everlasting life. They have fought against their own pride, the ways of the world and the devil.

Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. Anyone who loves their life will lose it, while anyone who hates their life in this world will keep it for eternal life.
John 12:24-26

The kingdom of heaven starts here and ends in the totality of joy - which is prepared for us by our loving God. We’ve got a place reserved for us! With the very best of Father’s.

Love you all,
Karen
