We wait for new Heavens and a new earth where righteousness is at home.

 

Therefore My children strive to live in peace and holiness making yourselves to be without spot or blemish before Me.

 

Live each day assuming that My return is imminent, for I am patiently allowing for as many as desire eternal life with Me, to come to repentance for their salvation.

 

The Holy Spirit is breathing His inspirations to your spirit, listen to Him, He will guide you to where you ought to go, but you must be willing to hear Him and to respond.

 

The love of many has grown cold toward Me, relativism has gained a foothold in the world, and Truth has gone by the wayside, they eliminate any signs of Me and teach the children things that I abhor.

 

Yet I find that there is still My faithful remnant of people who are focused in their faith, who are holding on to Catholic Doctrine, while they persistently pray for Church and Country.

 

They discover true happiness in forgetting themselves, even in the midst of their sufferings and subsequent confinements imposed upon them, yet without discouragement.

 

Joy and not fear has enfolded them as they unite in prayer for each other, while they are bombarded daily with threats of illnesses and death, they praise the God Who created them, trusting in My care for all that they endure.

 

It is My Light that they behold, as they look beyond their present circumstances, they are finding reasons for joy and not sadness, as the darkness has not overcome the light.

 

As best as they can, they forget themselves, I give them the needed graces that they may be able to help others find courage and hope to go on, even in the face of grief, loss or sickness.

 

What has been lifted from their shoulders is the burden of life itself, they have received the gift of joy from those who radiate My Light in their spirit, for humility and meekness attract the poor and needy.

 

Seeking holiness must not be a chore for you but a delight, this joy you will offer to Me, acknowledging that you have died to self and are now living in Me and Me in you.

 

Therefore, empowered by My grace, you are victorious in this life and in the next.

 

Entrust to Me the moment of your death and all the circumstances concerning it, consecrate it to Me, knowing that I have already planned My best for you, your salvation and final destination.
