Abba Father's Love Letter ♥♥♥
Psalm 145
A Song of Praise… Of David. I will extol thee, my God and King, and bless thy name for ever and ever. Every day I will bless thee, and praise thy name for ever and ever. Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised, and his greatness is unsearchable. One generation shall laud thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts. On the glorious splendor of thy majesty, and on thy wondrous works, I will meditate. Men shall proclaim the might of thy terrible acts, and I will declare thy greatness. They shall pour forth the fame of thy abundant goodness, and shall sing aloud of thy righteousness. The LORD is gracious and merciful; slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love. The LORD is good to all, and his compassion is over all that he has made. All thy works shall give thanks to thee, O LORD, and all thy saints shall bless thee! They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom, and tell of thy power, to make known to the sons of men thy mighty deeds, and the glorious splendor of thy* kingdom. Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and thy dominion endures throughout all generations. The LORD is faithful in all his words, and gracious in all his deeds. * The LORD upholds all who are falling, and raises up all who are bowed down. The eyes of all look to thee, and thou gives them their food in due season. Thou opens thy hand, thou satisfies the desire of every living thing. The LORD is just in all his ways and kind in all his doings. The LORD is near to all who call upon him, to all who call upon him in truth. He fulfils the desire of all who fear him, he also hears their cry, and saves them. The LORD preserves all who love him; but all the wicked he will destroy. My mouth will speak the praise of the LORD, and let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever.
Thank you Abba Father for loving me...

A Call to Pray
I wrote this as one of my first blogs and I believe it is worth repeating...
Many years ago, I read a midrash story by Elie Wiesel. It was a story of an angel delivering a new soul at the moment of conception. I do not remember it word for word, but I do remember this hauntingly beautiful story of God’s love for us and of life, as we know it...begins at conception.
This is a paraphrase of that story... Try to see in your minds eye, to image a place of such beauty where you knew you were in the very Presence of God. There is His throne in all its glory of light vector, such a splendor as never before told. Behind the throne of God, on drapes of spun gold, hang all souls that God created when He formed the world. Each soul, shining in its own brilliance, each a precious, gentle, flickering gem waits to be clothed in the dust of Adams and Eves.
And as angels, heavenly messengers of God, see that it is time for these little souls to be born... they delight in this promise of life with song and dance before the throne of God. Then an angel tenderly removes a flickering, luminous soul from the gold hangings and begins its journey through the heavens to the womb of the mother. And on the journey, the angel tells the little soul all the secrets of the universe. That at the moment of birth all this knowledge is within the soul…
In time passing, I shared this story with a priest friend, who told me an extraordinary story of a young couple in his church. They had a new baby and when they brought him home and settled him in his crib, their little four year old asked if he could go in alone to see his new brother. The new parents agreed but were curious to this request, so they stood at the door and overheard their son as he approached the crib…”Quick, tell me all about God, I’m beginning to forget.”
How can we justify the murdering of little souls through abortion...souls waiting to be born into a life full of the knowledge of God. Abba Father, forgive us... our sins are mighty...
Search me, O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts! And see if there be any wicked* way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting!
Psalm 139: 23, 24
Abba Father...Open our hearts, our minds...let Your Holy Will be done,
Abba Father...Open our hearts, our minds...let Your Holy Will be done,

ONE MINUTE EACH NIGHT
I received this from a friend this morning and feel a need to share it with you.
"Don't waste energy on things that generate worry, anxiety and anguish. Only one thing is necessary: Lift up your spirit and love God." St. Padre Pio
"This election has the world in an uproar, but we as Christians have got to seek God for the answers.
We all need to be on our knees.
Do you believe we can take God at His word? Call upon His name, then stand back and watch His wonders to behold. This scripture gives us, as Christians, ownership of this land and the ability to call upon God to heal it. I challenge you to do so. We have never been more desperate than now for God to heal our land. This election is the scariest I remember in my lifetime.
2 Chronicles 7:14 "If my people, which are called by my name shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land".
During WWII , there was an advisor to Churchill who organized a group of people who dropped what they were doing every night at a prescribed hour for one minute to collectively pray for the safety of England , its people and peace. This had an amazing effect as bombing stopped. There is now a group of people organizing the same thing here in America .
The United States of America and our citizens need prayer more than ever!!!
If you would like to participate:
Each evening at 9:00 PM Eastern Time (8:00 PM Central, 7:00PM Mountain,6:00 PM Pacific), stop whatever you are doing and spend one minute praying for the safety of the United States, our troops, our citizens, for peace in the world, the up-coming election, and that Christianity will grow in the U.S.

If you know anyone who would like to participate, please pass this along.
Someone said if people really understood the full extent of the power we have available through prayer, we might be speechless. Our prayers are the most powerful asset we have.
Thank You!"

Our Lady reminds us not to worry when she asks us to read Mt 6:24-34 every Thursday… where Jesus says 3 times, "Don't worry."
"Don't waste energy on things that generate worry, anxiety and anguish. Only one thing is necessary: Lift up your spirit and love God." St. Padre Pio
Let us continually seek God for His Divine Intervention... PRAY...PRAY...PRAY...
Blessings on our nations' election,

"Don't Worry" Gospel
I've heard that Matthew 6: 24-34 is referred to as the "Don't Worry Gospel" and that maybe we should read it every day. It seems so easy to take our eyes off of Jesus when all around us there are political smear tactics*...as well as the fear of the world economy.
"No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon. "Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you shall eat or what you shall drink, nor about your body, what you shall put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?
Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?
And which of you by being anxious can add one cubit to his span of life? And why are you anxious about clothing?
Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they neither toil nor spin; yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O men of little faith?
Therefore do not be anxious, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For the Gentiles seek all these things; and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things shall be yours as well. "Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Let the day's own trouble be sufficient for the day. Matthew 6: 24-34
I recall someone once telling me that we are supposed to have our Bibles open to that Psalm in our homes as protection.
Psalm 91
He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High, who abides in the shadow of the Almighty, will say to the LORD, "My refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust."
"No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.

Psalm 91
He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High, who abides in the shadow of the Almighty, will say to the LORD, "My refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust."
For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence; he will cover you with his pinions, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness is a shield and buckler. You will not fear the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that stalks in darkness, nor the destruction that wastes at noonday.
A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand; but it will not come near you. You will only look with your eyes and see the recompense of the wicked. Because you have made the LORD your refuge, * the Most High your habitation, no evil shall befall you, no scourge come near your tent. For he will give his angels charge of you to guard you in all your ways. On their hands they will bear you up, lest you dash your foot against a stone.
You will tread on the lion and the adder, the young lion and the serpent you will trample under foot. Because he cleaves to me in love, I will deliver him; I will protect him, because he knows my name. When he calls to me, I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will rescue him and honor him. With long life I will satisfy him, and show him my salvation
In these two readings, Abba, Father has told us not to fear and not to worry. I find comfort in reading them every day with the world tumbling down around us. Our faith, our trust is in God, not in man!
Blessings,

We Hear You, Lord...
With all the break downs throughout the world... this message sent to me today speaks deeply of Hope and Renewal. We need to keep our focus on God, our eyes on the Creator of all!
"My peace be with you, I intend to flower this desert and make fountains out of arid lands, fountains that will spring from My House; I will bring this faithless generation back to Me, but before this happens many who are first now will be last, and the last, first; learn that your Creator will carry out His Works and these Works will testify that He has sent in the world His creature to Glorify Him; through these Works, a light will shine in your darkness, in fact it began shining already; delight Me and hold on to the hem of My clothes and again, I remind you: do not be concerned and do not seek for the approval that comes from the world, seek only your Creator's approval;
My pupil, work hard though to honour the One who sent you; sincerity pleases the Father and ah .... everything the Father has is Mine and everything I Own is yours; come be patient; I Jesus love you and bless you: revive My Church; we, us? "
(From True Life in God...April 9, 1993)
Then they cried out to the Lord because of their problems.
And he brought them out of their troubles.
He made the storm as quiet as a whisper.
The waves of the ocean calmed down.
The people were glad when the ocean became calm.
Then he guided them to the harbor they were looking for.
Let them give thanks to the Lord for his faithful love.
Let them give thanks for the miracles he does for his people.
Let them honor him among his people who gather for worship.
Let them praise him in the meeting of the elders.
He turned rivers into a desert.
He turned flowing springs into thirsty ground.
He turned land that produced crops into a salty land where nothing could grow.
He did it because the people who lived there were evil.
He turned the desert into pools of water.
He turned the dry and cracked ground into flowing springs.
He brought hungry people there to live.
They built a city where they could settle down.
They planted fields and vineyards
that produced large crops.
He blessed the people, and they greatly increased their numbers.
He kept their herds from getting smaller.
Psalm 107:28-38 (New International Reader's Version)

Isaiah 54:5
In these days of chaos all over the world this message Vassula wrote on July 23, 1991, really speaks to me and calls me into prayer, prayer and more prayer. I want to share it with you...
"For your Creator is your Husband,
the Lord of hosts is His Name."
Isaiah 54:5
Yahweh my Father whom I adore and long for, You who led me out of the countries underneath the earth and who
lifted my soul entering it, consuming it with Your Fire and leaving me in total rapture for You;
Yahweh, Your Majesty and King of Kings, You who lead me by this marvelous road, keep me free from sin and from falling; I am a sinner and am more apt to sin than do good; fortify your city ...
Be in peace, I the Lord love you; take My Hand and follow Me; pray My Vassula for there is still a long way to go for your perfection; you are not exempt from sin nor from falling and falls you will have, but I am near you to help you up and press you on My Heart so that you may feel My Love and how I cherish you; come, we shall pray together:
Father, come to our help and guide our steps to perfection, bring back our divinity and make us the perfect dwelling of Your Holiness; Amen
Jesus?
I Am;
My Holy Spirit, My Vassula shall go to the very ends of the earth and seek even the least amongst you to save you from the disastrous abomination that dwells within many of you now .... the Heavens soon shall deluge at My Coming upon you; I, the Lord have done many wonders for you and shall do more in these coming days; (The fall of Communism in Russia after the 3-day Poutsch.)
Pray My child, pray for those who offend My Holiness and blaspheme My Holy Spirit calling My Spirit foolish; have I not said: "... everyone who says a word against the Son of man will be forgiven, but no one who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will be forgiven;" (Luke. 12:10) for the Spirit is not opposed to the Son nor is the Father to the Spirit, since all three of Us agree; (1 John 5:8.) many of you are condemning My Celestial manifestations and persecuting those whom My Spirit speaks through them because you do not believe they come from Me;
Daughter, look at the Wounds of My Body (Jesus' garment was soaked in His Own Blood, His ankles which I could see had blood with wounds like stripes) .... I have little time left now before My Father's Hand strikes this generation; listen to your Father from whom you are sprung; listen to His Voice:
I went all ways, seeking to gather you and remind you to live holy since I am Holy, but only a remnant of you pay attention when I speak; I have spoken through those you call contemptible; I have spoken through weakness and poverty, but you have made a cult in persecuting My Holy Spirit that guides them, to the point of frenzy!!
I have been sending you through them the spirit of Elijah and the spirit of Moses, those two witnesses dressed in sackcloth, (Ap. 11:3) to prophesy and remind you of My Law, before My great Return; they are to speak to you in My Name and bring you back to the Truth and back to your senses;
But over you spread a heavy darkness and your claims to your knowledge became a battlefield to My Knowledge: the Lie was and is persecuting the Truth, but Scriptures never lie; it was said that 'the beast (In this context God made me understand that beast meant: lie.) that comes out of the Abyss is going to make war on them and overcome them and kill them;' (Ap. 11:7.) indeed your battlefield is drenched now with innocent blood, because My Holy Spirit of prophecy has become a plague to those who belong to the world; (God is alluding to Ap. 11:10: '...because these two prophets have been a plague to the people of the world.') their frenzied persecutions and total rejection they have for My mouthpieces are similar to those of Sodom; their stubbornness to open their heart and comply, their refusal to open their ear and listen to My Voice today, have gone beyond the stubbornness of Pharaoh in Egypt; (God is alluding to Ap. 11:8: ... their corpses will lie in the main street of the Great City known by the symbolic names Sodom and Egypt (...))
Today I am giving you "things that no eye has seen and no ear has heard, things beyond the mind of man," (1 Cor. 2:9) all these things that lift your spirit to call Me Abba; My Holy Spirit is calling you all to true devotion and to a better knowledge of God Himself, that is why I am continually repeating the same truths given to you; I shall continue calling you until I break through your deafness, generation, I shall not stop calling you in agony, not until I hear from you the word:
Abba!
The new heavens and new earth are soon upon you,
"For your Creator is your Husband,
the Lord of hosts is His Name."
Isaiah 54:5
Yahweh my Father whom I adore and long for, You who led me out of the countries underneath the earth and who
lifted my soul entering it, consuming it with Your Fire and leaving me in total rapture for You;
Yahweh, Your Majesty and King of Kings, You who lead me by this marvelous road, keep me free from sin and from falling; I am a sinner and am more apt to sin than do good; fortify your city ...

Mary, the Queen of all Christians.
We must remember that we stand at a crossroads and pray to our God to raise good leaders for our country... this excerpt came from, "A Moment with Mary"
We Entrust to You, Mary, who Reigns over the Entire World...
Today we wish to entrust to you the future that awaits us, and we ask you to be with us on our way. We are the men and women of an extraordinary time, exhilarating yet full of contradictions. Humanity now has instruments of unprecedented power: we can turn this world into a garden, or reduce it to a pile of rubble. We have devised the astounding capacity to intervene in the very well-springs of life: man can use this power for good, within the bounds of the moral law, or he can succumb to the short-sighted pride of a science which accepts no limits, but tramples on the respect due to every human being. Today as never before in the past, humanity stands at a crossroads. And once again, O Virgin Most Holy, salvation lies fully and uniquely in Jesus, your Son.

Hail, Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you! Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
I dedicate this blog to "Women at the Well", a group of women God is drawing together for prayer and where God and women set down at table...

One Spirit...
We need to be there for one another...
"Call to Me and I will answer you." Jeremiah 33:1
"Call to Me and I will answer you." Jeremiah 33:1
We are living in tumultuous times, we can come together, and pray together... right now, for people around
the world... sending forth a real blessing of God to everyone.
Knowing that our trust is only in the Will of God, who is working in our lives. In our own way, our own mind, let go of any concern and realize there is nothing to fear.
For all the people, all the great concers that we are praying for today... know that in Spirit there is no distance in time or space. We are together praying for the good to be in all ways. As we pray, lifting all our concerns, all gratitude to Him... we know that we are making a difference, a lasting difference in their lives and in our world.
There is but one Presence and one Power in the universe, God the good,
the Omnipotent One.”
For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.

Jesus died for us... How will we live for him?

Out Of The Mouths Of Babes...
I want to share with you some stories that I read from an online prayer group... Queen of peace in Medjugorje...This first one affirms for me one of my early blogs; "A Story of Life" June 6, 2006.
"Thank you, Sue Ann and June! You make me anxious to share a special experience when doing the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd with children 3 to 5 years old. I had just finished telling the Bible story to the Catechesis class, and I ended with ....."and the people loved Jesus so-o-o much, ....and Jesus loves us so-o-o much!" I looked up at the class, who seemed to be in that world with Jesus. My 5-year-old grandson was in that class. He, too, was just staring into space, and when I said "...and Jesus loves us so-o-o much", he answered softly "yeah.... ."
I am convinced we are so close to God when born, and seem to grow away from God with our years. Thank God for " conversion" experiences! " One of my own was standing next to the Christmas creche under our Christmas tree, as a small child, enjoying the scent of the cookies my Mother was baking in the kitchen, and looking at the Blessed family, and crying softly with tears of joy."
Love, Peace, Blessings... Jeanette

"Thank you, June for sharing your Grandson's beautiful response to the raising of Our Lord's body at Mass. There are so many instances when we can learn so much about our faith if we just listen to the children. Perhaps this would be a good place and time for us to share some of our experiences : this Christmas Eve, I was at Mass with my Grandson. The choir had just finished singing a well known song when he looked up at me and asked, "Who's Gloria ?". God Bless the Children," Sue Ann
"Today is First Friday, which reminds me of something that happened last First Friday.I took my grandson Thomas, who had just turned 2 the week before, to First Friday Mass with me. I told him he had to be quiet because we were going to church. He said, "Be quiet" as we walked in. And he was. Although he talks a blue streak now, he did not say one word, until the Consecration when the priest elevated the Host, and then Thomas whispered, "Jesus." I thought I would cry. Out of the mouths of babes.... How many adults do not believe that the Host is Jesus??? Our Lady always addresses us "Dear children" - she wants us to have that faith of a child.This echoes what we heard in yesterday's gospel:He called a child over, placed it in their midst, and said, "Amen, I say to you,unless you turn and become like children, you will not enter the Kingdom of heaven.Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the Kingdom of heaven."...June Klins
