CENACLE 7-8-98
My Beloved
Cenacle,
Let us
give praise to Jesus together for His great gift of manifestation through
your Mother! I am with you always guiding you on the way of peace,
protecting you with an army of the heavenly hosts, arming you for battle
with the armament of prayer -- as the battle we fight together intensifies!
My little
ones give yourselves wholeheartedly over to God! Give yourselves
over to the heavenly remedy that I have for so long trained you in!
Give yourselves over to true discipleship. So many profess with their
lips that Jesus is their Lord; yet give themselves over to the world as
its slave! So many receive our Eucharistic Jesus; yet, within minutes,
give themselves over to worry, anxiety and fear. All the while Jesus
dwells within! So many receive the Gift of Love and return vindictiveness,
envy, even hatred, to their brothers and sisters.
I have
come into the world to call for a wholehearted turning toward God, who
has loved this world so much! I have revealed the way of peace, brotherhood
and abundant life.
My cenacle,
too many still sling to the remedies in the world! They find no remedy,
no mercy! Where, my children, can hope be found for the strife that
exists between nations? Where is the hope for the violence that has
infiltrated the streets? Who will mend broken families? Who
will bind up the broken hearts of abandoned, abused children?
I come
to you bearing the only remedy - as I bore Him 2000 years ago. As
He was met with cold indifference then, so it is today!
Jesus is
the world's only remedy! As it's travail intensifies, I continually
invite you, my cenacles around the world, to pray with me for God's Mercy,
grace and mighty rod of Justice. Let us pray for an outpouring of
the Holy Spirit - all to bring about the wholehearted conversion of this
world to Jesus Christ, who alone is its' rightful King, who alone will
restore the world to its' former, resplendent beauty!

CENACLE 7-15-98
My Dear
Cenacle,
Praise
be Jesus, the Lord, who loves you - giving as proof of His Love - His very
life poured out for you as a sin offering, given as your food - today,
until the end of the ages! Praise Him, My children. Give Him
your heart in humble thanksgiving.
My dear
ones, God sends Me to you to bring you to a greater understanding and love
of the Gospel Message. I am calling you to, not only accept My messages;
but, to live them! Living my messages means to abide in them.
When you take them into your heart, you abide in Jesus and allow Him to
abide in you as He so desires.
My children,
to you understand the depth to which Jesus invites you to draw? You
are so reluctant to open yourselves to Him fully! You are so cautious
to give yourselves over to Him - while He pours Himself out fully for you!
You receive Him in the Eucharist; yet, fail to comprehend the depth of
the union in which you enter! Your fingers grip tightly around the
control mechanism of your heart!
I come
to show you Jesus - the Miracle-worker of the New Testament, Jesus - the
Miracle of today - still working signs and wonders in your midst and yet,
you fail to trust Him implicitly.
I invite
you tonight, to give yourselves over to trust as your world and its' systems
rock wildly out of control. Let Jesus place His hands on the control
of your heart and steady you, keep you on course as the heavy burdens of
life threaten to overcome you.
You live
in the days of My adversary! You easily fall under his control, when,
through lack of understanding, you fail to trust in my messages, which
Jesus sends Me to impart. This is the hour when evil has its way!
But, my cenacle, not for long!!
I invite
you with fervor, to abide in My messages which come to you from Jesus.
When you live the gospel, which I awaken in your hearts, you abide in Jesus
and Jesus in you. You live in peace and harmony despite pain and
loss, sin and apostasy until your deliverer comes in power and might to
reclaim His Kingdom which now reigns in the hearts of those who love and
abide in Him.
I am with
you to bring you to this fullness of grace as we wait and pray for the
victory - the triumph of My Heart in the world!
Wednesday
Cenacle 7-22-98
Daughter,
as my messenger, I have written upon your heart my words to sustain my
children in prayer and the living out of my messages.
I asked
Our Lady why I couldn't sensually perceive her presence, yet I know I am
in communion with her! I wonder how I can continue to say the Rosary
without skipping a beat and still be receiving her message. She said
that our communication is spirit to spirit and beyond human communication.
The extent that I understand and perceive her manifestation is God's will
for me and not her decision.
My Cenacle,
Thank you for spending so many years with me in prayer as we wait for Jesus
to come again. The Bridegroom comes! It is my mission to ready
you for His coming. It is my mission to keep the flasks of oil filled
so that your light continues to burn brightly!
I come
with the oil of purity. My children keep yourselves pure in thought,
word and deed. Most especially, keep your intentions pure.
Let this be the vehicle that brings you to your goal of perfect, Divine
Love. Purity of intention takes you out of yourself and enables you
to abide in the perfect love of Jesus.
I come
with the oil of solicitude. Be solicitous for the greater gifts rather
than those that bring acclaim and honor. The higher gifts lead you
to perfect peace so that you might endure these difficult times.
My dear ones, you cannot be bearers of peace in your world unless you live
in interior peace.
I come
with the oil of perfect contrition. If you could but fathom the infinite
purity and goodness of God, you would shriek from even the slightest infraction.
Every sin is an attack against the purity of God - against His very nature,
which is love.
I come
with the oil of charity. My children, God is love. You must
love - even your enemies! Otherwise, you rise no farther than the
unbelievers who know not their God.
I am the
herald of Jesus coming in glory. The world as you know it is passing
away. I am the voice that cries out in a desolate and parched world,
making straight the path He will take to purify and renew His creation.
I am the
Mediatrix of all grace as exemplified by this message I leave with you
tonight.
I am the
Co-Redemptrix with my Son carried out through my universal motherhood.
I am the
Advocate for all humanity as I bring to fruition the buds of the firstfruits
of a renewed Church.
My Beloved,
such is the Mercy, the Justice and the Love of God for His world!
Stay with Me.

Wednesday Cenacle
I visit
you tonight as your Mother of Consolation. I bring sweet consolation to
My Beloved children whom pray out of love for Jesus. I bring the sweetest
consolations to those who suffer for love of Jesus.
I invite
you, My dearest sons and daughters, to pray so that, through prayer you
may be able to understand the meaning of your lives. It will be through
prayer that you will come to understand your sufferings. Through prayer
you will understand the meaning of true love!
The Church
labors under the heavy weight of apostasy. You, My dearest cenacle, must
bear the weight of the scourge of this sin upon your hearts. That is why
I come to bring you the sweetest heavenly consolation.
The Church
will be delivered of its' travail when the Holy Spirit releases renewed
power (life) into the Church. O, how I weep for my children until then!
Much pain…much suffering…much bloodshed!
My Cenacle,
receive My sweetest consolations in the silent, serene garden of prayer.
I long to console you!

WEDNESDAY CENACLE
My Cenacle,
Tenderly
I gather you into the folds of My Mantle within this cenacle of prayer.
I draw each of you to my lips to kiss your heads just as I kissed and caressed
My child Jesus. You are all my children. When you enter the spiritual poverty
of the stable of My Immaculate Heart, like Jesus, who I nourished at My
breast, I offer you the sweet milk of virtue, grace and holiness. It is
here that you have grown in age, grace and wisdom.
In this
second and final phase of My mission on earth among you, I now commission
you to pursue the path that has been lain for you. I invite you to pray
to be lead on the salvific, redemptive path of My Son that you now share.
For this I have come into the world and remain so long with you. I send
you forth now. I drop you as a pebble into the waters of the world whose
ripple affects your families, your communities and your world. I cast you
into the world as a ray of light to light up this world now overcome with
the darkness of sin
You stand
on the threshold of a new evangelization - precipitated by the light, the
power and the love of the Holy Spirit. A new evangelization - a mission
wrought in pain and loss of all that the world has held out to you, a mission
that will be fulfilled through the dying to self and the material world.
My little
children, are you afraid? Do you grow faint-hearted in the wake of pain,
loss and struggle? Do not be afraid! Come always into the silent, serene
garden of prayer where I promise your strength will not fail you. Your
light will not dissipate.
I am present
to you as a mother to her infant! Stay with me.

WEDNESDAY CENACLE
FIRST OUR
LADY SPOKE TO ME:
"MY LITTLE
DAUGHTER, DO NOT LOOSE HEART! CONTINUE TO BE AN EXAMPLE OF
LOVE, PEACE AND OPENNESS TO THE SPIRIT OF THE EVERLASTING GOD. I
AM WITH YOU AND WILL BE YOUR STRENTH WHEN YOU ARE WEAK. BUT YOU MUST
ASK!
THEN HER
WORDS WERE ADDRESSED TO THE CENACLE,
"TELL
MY CENACLE THAT THEIR MOTHER IS PLEASED WITH THEIR PATIENT ENDURANCE,
COURAGE AND DEDICATION. I KNOW OF THE HEAVY CROSSES THAT MANY OF
YOU HAVE BORNE OVER THE YEARS. YOU HAVE ENDURED UNDER THEM WITH THE
PATIENCE OF MY BELOVED SON, JESUS. PRAISED BE HIS HOLY NAME!
YOU HAVE BORNE THEM WITH THE CONVICTION THAT SUFFERING YIELDS A RICH HARVEST
AND LEADS TO AUTHENTIC FREEDOM - FREEDOM FROM THE FLESH
I ASK YOU
TONIGHT TO ALLOW YOURSELVES TO BE CARRIED BY ME OVER A ROCKY AND BITTER
PATH. YOU, MY BELOVED SONS AND DAUGHTERS, NEED NOT TASTE OF ITS'
BITTERNESS; BUT, THE SWEETNESS OF MY PRESENCE.
ALLOW YOURSELVES
TO BE LOVED BY ME. IT IS BEYOND YOUR GRASP TO REALIZE THE OCEAN
OF LOVE THAT ENGULFS YOU. YOU CONTINUE TO LIVE AS ORPHANS WHEN, IN
REALITY, YOU ARE ALWAYS WITH ME; AS I, WITH YOU.
ALLOW YOURSELVES
TO BE COMFORTED BY ME IN THESE TIME WHEN FORETOLD EVENTS UNFOLD AS THE
CURTAIN OF GOD'S FINAL SALVIFIC ACT RISES AND UNLEASHES THE ENEMY'S MOST
FEROCIOUS FURY UPON THE WORLD. ALLOW YOURSELVES TO BE ENFOLDED WITHIN
MY MANTLE.
FOR AS
SCRIPTURE TELLS, A LAMP MUST REMAIN LIT AND NOT HIDDEN BENEATH A COVERING.
YOU, MY BELOVED CENACLE, ARE LIGHT. YOUR LIGHT MUST SHINE BRIGHTLY
NOW IN THIS HOUR AS WE APPROACH TOGETHER THE THRESHOLD OF GOD'S JUSTICE.
I AM HERE,
CARRYING, LOVING AND COMFORTING YOU.

Wednesday Cenacle
Our Lady's
words to me: Daughter, continue to bring my words to my faithful
ones. They serve as a living flame to keep the messages burning in
hearts. I am with you.
My Cenacle,
Just as
the night stars light the sky, so too, do you, My precious little ones,
light up the darkness which has descended like a dense fog in the world.
The world knows a winter's freeze such as it has never known before as
a result of the darkness of sin. Hatred and lust for power, greed
and covetousness for the things of the world have run their course.
The darkness is thick. The chill of this winter's night seeps to
the very soul of this nation.
Praise
be to Jesus, My Beloved Cenacle, now and forever, for continuously
offering to the world the warmth and the light of His Love! The warmth
of His graces spew out upon this world through the Heart of this broken
humanity's Mother! I have raised up a mighty army arrayed for battle
- a faithful remnant who have heard and responded to My plea. Through
your faithfulness to prayer and sacrifice, through the way in which you
embrace the gospel message and through your wholehearted commitment to
the Eucharistic presence of My Son, you have effected a thaw that will
begin to melt hardened hearts. Through you'r hidden acts of charity
and your humble response to My messages, your light shines brightly in
the darkness of the night - never to be overcome by it!
You have
been faithful soldiers and your Mother remains a strong presence among
you, ever attentive to the voice of your supplications. Let your
prayers rise for poor, lost sinners. Continue to labor in the night
hours of these times. A day is dawning - a brilliant day in which
all that has been entrusted to you, carried out by you in obscurity - shall
be gloriously revealed. On that victorious day, you will know the
extent you played in the masterful plan of the Almighty God. Your
joy shall be full - His will having been done on earth as it is in Heaven
- through your Fiat.
I remain
with you.

Wednesday Cenacle
My Blessed
Children of the New Advent,
Glory to God in the highest and peace, my dear ones, to you, His children,
who await His coming with gladness. Because of His coming, you can
be joyful and hopeful in the midst of a world at war. You are a people
called to great hope, great peace and great joy because of He who came
among you – as one of you – to show you the way to the Father.
He came
that you might find peace in the midst of the heavy burdens that you carry
– burdens of lonliness, burdens of pain, burdens caused by sin. He
came that you might discover the meaning of your lives by intimately connecting
yourselves to the gospel of Divine Life – which is His life. Thus,
by means of this, you may enjoy abundant life while on this sojourn of
earthly life. He came that you might win eternal life, not by your
own merits, but through His – for you.
He came
down from Heaven on that first Christmas with a thirst – an intense thirst
– for you – for each one of you. A love so great that you, my little
ones, would die of joy if you could receive such a love while still living
in the vessel of your earthly dwelling. He came on that first Christmas
with a mission – a mission so magnanimous that it includes each one of
you. A mission that will lead you to your goal – complete joy and
infinite love.
I come
among you as your Mother of the New Advent so that you can know your place
as heirs to God’s glorious Kingdom. My precious children of the New
Advent, do you know of the radiance in which the glorified saints and angels
are immersed? I come to you that you might begin to see and taste
the wonder, the radiance of the destination to which each of you is called.
I come
to prepare your hearts to receive such a glory! Tonight, on the eve
of His Birth, I ask you to look into your hearts. As you look and
wait with the wonderment of a little child on Christmas Eve, keep an abiding
vigil around the stables that you have prepared for Him. My beloved
Cenacle, in littleness (humility) and faithfulness you have prepared; in
grandeur, in glory shall you receive your King of Kings and Lord of Lords!
Keep vigil,
in heart-silence and prayer, on this holiest of nights – for He comes,
with the newness and innocence of a Babe and the grandeur of a King, to
claim you as His own – to crown you with your inheritance.
Rejoice!
I am blessing you all with the Miracle of Christmas Peace!

Wednesday Cenacle
My Little
Children,
I visit you tonight as your Mother of Holy Hope. Praised be Jesus
now and forever! Glory to God in the highest and peace to you, His
children of Holy Hope – chosen to follow His Star to the new Bethlehem.
You have
allowed yourselves to be guided and prepared by Me, the bright star sent
from Heaven for these times. You have allowed yourselves to be led
to His stable – not for yourselves alone but for the whole world.
Just as the shepherds and wise men followed the star and beheld the Christmas
miracle, so too shall you behold the fullness and the glory of God.
I desire
that you look into your hearts during this Season of peace, love and joy.
Ask God to fill the mangers within your hearts with heavenly virtues and
gifts so that your hearts will not be filled up with the world. Your
hearts must be filled up with what you need to lead those with whom you
live and work. You will confront two classes of people – those
who have no hope within them – who live in despair and those whose hope
lies in the false security of the world.
Because
of the miracle of Christmas, hope descends upon the weary world despite
wars and rumors of war. Even though these things must come about
– with greater intensity during this coming year, you shall live in holy
hope, in inner peace and joy! Much loss, my little children , great
loss!!
But you,
my blessed ones, do not lose sight of your goal – to behold the new Bethlehem
where you will partake of the fullness and the glory of God. This
is your destiny, my children of Hope – the destiny to which I am leading
you all!
