RUN TO ME AND BE BLESSED

Children running
One morning in front of the Blessed Sacrament, the Lord spoke interiorly to my heart.

My dear children, My little ones, run to Me. 
In My hands are graces, blessings, and mercy just waiting for you. 
Do not turn from Me. 
Jesus blesses the children
Run to Me and be blessed. 

In the world are troubles and heartache. 
In Me there is peace. 
In the world there is anger, unrest, and strife. 
In  Me there is love, perfect and undefiled. 
In the world there are wars, famine, and plagues. 
In Me there are only good things.


I feed you with finest wheat. 
My cup runneth over with love for each and everyone of you. 
My Sacred Heart longs for you to love Me, too.
Come to Me. Come. 
Do not delay. Do not put Me off. 
Come!


I love you with an everlasting love.
Come.

Prayer
Lord, help us to run swiftly to you without delay. Teach us how to love as a little child loves, with an open heart. Bless us and strengthen our love of you and neighbor. We pray in Jesus' name. +

MAKE ME FIRST IN YOUR LIFE


Jesus Christ
Today is a day of great joy. The Lord spoke interiorly to my heart in the Adoration Chapel after Holy Mass.

Some people have not a minute for Me, yet I give them My all. Why is that, dear servant girl?

Lord, you know all things while I know so little. Pray, tell me.

My dear daughter, their hearts have grown cold. They are preoccupied with the things of this world. They think, 'Oh, if only I had time to sit with the Lord for awhile, but no I have too much to do.' So, off they go. 

You see my dear one, some people do not put Me, their God first in their lives. 
As a matter of fact, they don't put Me 2nd, 3rd, or even 4th in their lives. 
If the truth be known, they place Me last saying, 'Oh, if only I had time to pray. If only I had time to go to Mass. If only, if only...'

My people, reorder your lives! 

Put Me in first place and then blessings will flow. 
Then worries and anxieties will leave you. 
Then, only then will you be filled with My peace, My love, and My hope. 

Do not delay another minute. 
Rearrange your life. 
Put Me first and all blessings, graces, and favors will follow. 

Tell My people, child. Let this be spread throughout the world.



As I ponder in my heart this simple message, I remember when my children were little. As a young mom I ran here and there feeling much like a bedraggled butterfly. I could only land momentarily then was flying off with the kids again to soccer practice, school concerts, CCD, and so on. I never had a moment to myself. Sadly, I had not put God in first place in my life.


What I have since discovered is that when I put my dear Lord first and I spend more time with Him, the more peaceful and joyful I become. When I receive Jesus at Holy Mass and adore Him in the Blessed Sacrament, I feel Him come into my heart, healing me of worries, disappointments, and sadness. I leave refreshed and renewed, strengthened once again to take on the world.

Receiving Our Lord in the Holy Eucharist as He fills us with His Precious Body and Blood, is one of the greatest privileges in life and the best part of any day. May He infuse in you a great love of receiving His Real Presence and of spending time adoring Him.

What place does God hold in your life?


Prayer
Lord, so many times we desire to come to you in prayer, but we are impeded. Remove all barriers and open the gates to heaven so that we can enter in. Help us in our weakness, strengthen our faith and love of you. We pray in Jesus' name. +
