Q1- Dad, I love you! I wanted to tell you how much I appreciate you giving me a counselor like P. He really understands where I’m coming from and relates well with me. He gives good advice. He asked me today to think about backing off of the “Grandiose ideas and making them somehow more realistic”. (Or something to that effect.) He wants me to focus on what I can do in real ways each day. To that I did protest a little bit and tell him that I do try to do things for Jesus by helping others when I can. Now that I think of it, I know I have much improvement to make. I try. And how do I make my thinking less grandiose? When you tell me that you like my ideas, and my ideas are in truth grandiose, how do I back off of them?
Do you want me to back off of the grand ideas such as Holy Trinity App, ShamRock studio, EPP, miracles upon heaps of miracles- for the world? Yeah, I’m a little grandiose, but aren’t we supposed to dream “God-Sized” dreams? Isn’t that the point, to dream of things that you could never do, but with God all things are possible? Don’t you want to use weak vessels so that through them, you could shine your love and powerfully reach people that such a sinner like me could never reach? It has to be all you, God, and none of me. I only need to offer myself and do what I feel you lead me to do. Show me the way. I want to go where you are and I want to be a part of whatever plans you have. I want to be included in whatever it is you’re up to! I want to work the family business, dad! I really want to help you save souls! It’s not that you need my help; you like to work through us, right?
*** Mar, I do like to see my kids desire to be in my business. You make me very happy that you are so eager to help out. You’re on the right track. You’re running ahead of my plans sometimes, but you’re on the right track. Stay with me; try not to think about how it’s going to happen. Rather, just trust in my plans more; each day one day at a time, I will lead you. Don’t get ahead of yourself. I like that you strategize with me, but instead of jumping into things, ask me first what I would like you to do. Board meetings were a great idea… do you remember that I was the one that gave you the idea and asked you to come here each day? J It is wonderful to talk with you here. We love it and are happy that you make it a part of your regular schedule. Thank you. We can use a good soldier like you; you’re my girl. Keep up the good work. We have amazing plans for you and for the world. I will always be with you; don’t forget that. Keep playing. I like that you get the ticket for the month and then set it aside in the safe box. Now that’s what I call faith and strategy in a good combination. You’re doing great! Relax- I’ve got this.
Q2-Jesus, I love you! Is it our turn? You once called me and said, “It’s definitely our turn.” Remember? (It was about 8 years ago.) I know that the game plan has been altered; probably something I did that got us off track. I am sorry for whatever I did in that regard… most likely pride got me. But, if you look at the game now, could you tell me how close we are to turning the page? Has the strategy changed? What do I need to do? Tell me what your plans are, as much as you can share with me, please.
*** Mar, you didn’t do anything wrong… you lived your life and you are doing a beautiful job. Yes, plans have been changing a lot. You need to know that the plans are always getting better and sweeter and mightier lengths ahead of schedule! It seems in the natural like you’ve let us down… I know that’s what you’ve been thinking. Right? Well, get that out of your head. You have come such a long way, your “mistakes” (pride, control issues) have been lessons you are learning but at the same time, Father is taking that and changing you into powerful light for the mission. He always makes something good out of bad situations.
Your growth is key and God knows how to get you to where you need to be. You have done well in this area and surprised us all at your progress. You’re miles ahead of the opponents; so don’t look back. Look ahead to the victory party. There is a great banquet lined up for the Eternal Party, you won’t miss it, Mar. We promise. We are turning the page of this chapter soon, but don’t miss out on the fun of the journey. Remain in the “now” of today, hope for tomorrow, and love everyone. That’s our plan and guidance for you. You will be the first to know when we need you to do something. We guide your steps, don’t run ahead of yourself. J I love you.
Q3-Holy Spirit, I Loooooooooooove you!!!!!!! I don’t want to ever forget you and that you are my helper, my counselor, my God, my all. I desire to know you more, to chat with you everyday throughout the day, and to remember all that you do for us. I am so sorry for forgetting you. I am sorry that I take you for granted, like you aren’t a person. It’s a difficult concept to wrap my brain around, forgive me. Help me understand you, know you better, love you more, and never make you sad. I am so sorry for my mistakes, sins, unloving ways, pride, controlling, and ungrateful state of being. Help me be better! Change me into who you want me to be, help me become that person you see. Empower and enlighten me to be all that Holy Trinity would like me to be. I want desperately to become that person! Will you please use me as an instrument for your peace, Lord?
***I will be able to use you as an instrument of peace. I do that for you and want to do that even more, for you each day. P is right; you can focus on little things that you can do for others. You can even pray more for others. You make a great intercessor and God hears your prayers. Use that power, the power of prayer, to help other people. You do it some, but if you only knew the power that comes from your prayers, you would pray for others even more! You don’t need to lay hands on people, ask me to touch them for you! I will be with you every time you pray for someone, so where 2 or more are gathered, I will be with them. You can count on me and Blessed Mother to be with you at your prayers- a powerful 3-person prayer! I am guiding you in all things. Thank you for your love and desire to become better. I will continue to mold you into the person you want to be. You’re coming along nicely… don’t give up on yourself. You’ve got all of heaven cheering you on!
Q4- Ok, Momma, last but certainly not least… I love you! Could you please promise me that you will be with me when I pray for others so that there will be 2 or more together in prayer. I would like powerful prayers for other people. Could you also please help me to remember who to pray for and what they need help with? I have a terrible memory… any suggestions? I would like to be a powerful intercessor for my friends, family, and people suffering around the world. Is this a good idea and use of my time, energy and efforts? I am selfish with the little time I have. I really need your help with this. Suggestions?
***Thank you for asking this critically important question. Yes, we have “one more thing” to add to your list to do. (Don’t worry; you will love to see the results!) I have an idea for you. First of all, know that I am always helping you pray; I take your prayers and remake them into a more perfect offering to the Father. I improve on your ideas by making them presented without any stain or imperfection. If you knew how beautiful your prayers are to dad, you would not want to do anything else with your time except pray… but that’s not what you are called to do. What we would like you to do is start a list on your phone. Add people & item to pray for and keeping it ongoing. In this way, you won’t forget who needs your prayer. When you see an answer to prayer, notate it and give thanks to God for His loving answer. The Holy Spirit and I will be with you at each prayer session. The best time for your focusing on this list will be during the 3:00pm hour. (When you are already praying the Chaplet of Divine Mercy) So you see, this won’t take much additional time and it is a powerful time to intercede for others. Don’t forget the suffering souls in purgatory! Also, anytime you are in the adoration chapel, you can pray off this list also. You will be amazed at the miracles that will happen. Try it out, Mar. We love you! J
