Wednesday of the Eleventh Week in Ordinary Time

Matthew 6:1-6, 16-18

Jesus said to his disciples:

“Take care not to perform righteous deeds

in order that people may see them;

otherwise, you will have no recompense from your heavenly Father.

When you give alms, do not blow a trumpet before you,

as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets

to win the praise of others.

Amen, I say to you, they have received their reward.

But when you give alms,

do not let your left hand know what your right is doing,

so that your almsgiving may be secret.

And your Father who sees in secret will repay you.

“When you pray, do not be like the hypocrites,

who love to stand and pray in the synagogues and on street corners

so that others may see them.

Amen, I say to you, they have received their reward.

But when you pray, go to your inner room, close the door,

and pray to your Father in secret.

And your Father who sees in secret will repay you.

“When you fast, do not look gloomy like the hypocrites.

They neglect their appearance,

so that they may appear to others to be fasting.

Amen, I say to you, they have received their reward.

But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face,

so that you may not appear to others to be fasting,

except to your Father who is hidden.

And your Father who sees what is hidden will repay you.”

Thursday of the Eleventh Week in Ordinary Time

Matthew 6:7-15

Jesus said to his disciples:

"In praying, do not babble like the pagans,

who think that they will be heard because of their many words.

Do not be like them.

Your Father knows what you need before you ask him.

"This is how you are to pray:

'Our Father who art in heaven,

hallowed be thy name,

thy Kingdom come,

thy will be done,

on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread;

and forgive us our trespasses,

as we forgive those who trespass against us;

and lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil.'

"If you forgive others their transgressions,

your heavenly Father will forgive you.

But if you do not forgive others,

neither will your Father forgive your transgressions."

The Blessed Virgin Mary says:

“Here is a gift from Heaven, My child—

It is the Will of God.

It comes wrapped in a Cross,

tied with trials, and sealed with suffering.

But within it lies eternal glory.

This is your ticket to Heaven.

Do you accept it?”

[jansijoelsblog]

Jesus Speaks:

“Go against them.

I will be with you.”

Fear not the darkness.

Fear not the voices that rise against truth.

For I have gone before you—

and I walk beside you.

You do not fight alone.

I am your Light. I am your Strength. I am your Victory.

[jansijoelsblog]

Jesus Speaks:

“Come and rest in My Sacred Heart.

I will give you everything you need.”

Lay down your burdens,

your fears,

your striving.

Here in My Heart,

you will find peace.

You will find healing.

You will find Me.

I do not give as the world gives—

I give Myself.

“All you need is self-belief—belief that I dwell in you, that I have chosen you, formed you, and equipped you. Do not look to your weakness; look to Me within you. My grace is sufficient. My Spirit is alive in you.

I give you the green light to go. Move forward. Act. Speak. Build. Love. Do not hesitate. Do not wait for the world’s permission. I have already commissioned you. I go before you. I walk beside you. I sustain you.

Trust what I’ve placed in your heart. You have Heaven behind you. You are not alone. Go now—and do what I have placed in your soul to do. I will bless it.”

✠ Commissioning Prayer: Sent by the Word Himself ✠

𝘛𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘱𝘳𝘢𝘺𝘦𝘥 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘣𝘦𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢 𝘮𝘪𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯, 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘫𝘦𝘤𝘵, 𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘺, 𝘰𝘳 𝘯𝘦𝘸 𝘴𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘰𝘯 𝘰𝘧 𝘱𝘶𝘳𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘦.

Lord Jesus Christ,

You have called me by name,

You have trained me in silence,

and now, with Your Word, You send me:

“All you need is self-belief. I give you the green light to go.”

I rise, not in confidence of the flesh,

but in trust of the One who lives within me.

You have planted the desire;

You will bring it to fulfillment.

I receive Your green light.

I move forward—not in haste, but in faith.

I go—not alone, but accompanied by Heaven.

I act—not for my own glory, but for Yours.

I silence every voice of fear and doubt.

I reject the lies of delay and hesitation.

I declare that now is the time. Today is the day of action.

Because You have said it—

I believe it, and I obey.

Holy Face of Jesus, shine upon this mission.

Seal my words, my hands, my steps in Your Divine Will.

Let every soul I touch be drawn not to me, but to You.

Mother Mary, go before me.

St. Joseph, make a way.

St. Michael, guard my path.

And O Jesus, my King—

walk with me into the battle.

I go now,

under Your commission,

with Your blessing,

and by Your authority.

Amen.

“Beginnings aren’t always graceful—but they’re necessary.”

⸻

Reflection / Prayer:

Lord Jesus,

You speak with such gentleness and truth.

You remind me that I don’t need to be perfect to begin—

I just need to begin.

Even if I stumble, even if I tremble,

even if my first steps are clumsy—

You are pleased that I stepped.

Thank You for being patient with my process,

for seeing beauty in my awkward beginnings,

and for walking with me from the very first moment.

Let me not delay because of fear,

but trust that with You,

every humble beginning leads to eternal purpose.

Amen.

Friday of the Seventh Week of Easter

John 21:15-19

After Jesus had revealed himself to his disciples and eaten breakfast with them,

he said to Simon Peter,

“Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?”

Simon Peter answered him, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.”

Jesus said to him, “Feed my lambs.”

He then said to Simon Peter a second time,

“Simon, son of John, do you love me?”

Simon Peter answered him, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.”

He said to him, “Tend my sheep.”

He said to him the third time,

“Simon, son of John, do you love me?”

Peter was distressed that he had said to him a third time,

“Do you love me?” and he said to him,

“Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you.”

Jesus said to him, “Feed my sheep.

Amen, amen, I say to you, when you were younger,

you used to dress yourself and go where you wanted;

but when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands,

and someone else will dress you

and lead you where you do not want to go.”

He said this signifying by what kind of death he would glorify God.

And when he had said this, he said to him, “Follow me.”

[jansijoelsblog]

God didn’t bring you this far to leave you.

Philippians 1:6

[jansijoelsblog]

I looked up at the crucifix, and it was radiating with light.

Then I heard Him speak:

“My child, you have been chosen to be a light in a dark place—

a very dark place.”

I trembled beneath His gaze. The light pouring from His wounds was not harsh—but warm, alive, and piercing.

He continued:

“Do not be afraid of the darkness. It will not overcome you.

You carry My Flame. You bear My Face.

Where you walk, I walk.

What you suffer, I sanctify.

What you speak in My Name, I anoint.”

A silence followed, heavy and holy.

Then He said:

“The time is short.

The battle is real.

But My love in you is stronger than death.”

I fell to my knees, unable to speak, only able to receive.

The light from the crucifix seemed to enter my chest,

and I knew—He had marked me.

Not for comfort. Not for glory.

But for mission.

For war.

For souls.

🌹 MEDITATION: “Hold On a Little Longer” – A Message from Our Lady of Guadalupe 🌹

Begin in silence. Inhale deeply and exhale slowly. Gaze upon the Holy Face of Mary, our Mother of Guadalupe. Place yourself spiritually at her feet, in the desert of your trials.

Our Lady speaks:

“Begin praying. The attacks now will become more fierce. But I am with you through it all.”

Let these words settle in your heart. Acknowledge the struggles you are facing. Be honest with Mary about your fears, your pain, your confusion. She sees them all. She is not distant.

“Always remain in the state of grace. Confession weekly or biweekly. Don’t abandon that practice. You need it to stay strong.”

Examine your soul. Where do you need healing? Where have you grown lukewarm? Ask Our Lady to give you the courage to return to the sacrament of reconciliation. Let her lead you to Jesus.

What are you tempted to accept out of fear? Out of impatience? Our Lady is not trying to control you, but protect you. Ask her to show you what you must resist. Surrender your fears.

“It is just a trick, My child. The enemy wants you to lose trust in us. We allow him to wreak havoc on your body so you can grow—spiritually and physically. We fortify you through the pain.”

Pause here.

Place your pain—physical, emotional, spiritual—into her immaculate hands. Do not run from it. Let her wrap your wounds in her mantle.

“You save souls through the pain. You gain experience through the pain.”

Who might be saved by your suffering? What wisdom is God growing in you through your endurance? Ask the Holy Spirit to show you how your cross is bearing fruit.

“Stay with us, My child. We will see you through.”

Stay.

Don’t abandon the desert. Don’t abandon the cross. Stay with Mary. Stay with Jesus.

Offer something today—a meal, a comfort, a distraction. Offer it for others. For the mission. For the Church.

You may not feel it. But you are a beacon. You carry the Face of Jesus to others. Ask Mary to help you reflect His light, even in your weariness.

Believe this.

You were chosen. You were formed for this time. Your heart—softened by suffering, refined by trials—is a treasure in Heaven.

“Be patient in all trials. We will see to it that they will do what we have placed on them to do.”

“You will shine like the Son. My Son will use you as an example to millions.”

Let hope rise in you. See yourself whole. See yourself radiant. See yourself victorious, not because of your strength, but because of your surrender.

“Just as the flower fades and dies, so it blooms again in due season. Trust, trust, trust.”

Close your eyes. Breathe in her words:

Trust. Trust. Trust.

Let them become the rhythm of your soul.

End with this prayer:

O Most Holy Mother, Our Lady of Guadalupe,

I place myself beneath your mantle today.

I surrender my fears, my wounds, my waiting, my weakness.

Help me to trust.

Help me to endure.

Help me to offer all with love.

Make me a bearer of the Holy Face of your Son to the world.

Amen.

Memorial of Saint Barnabas, Apostle

Matthew 10:7-13

Jesus said to the Twelve:

"As you go, make this proclamation:

'The Kingdom of heaven is at hand.'

Cure the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, drive out demons.

Without cost you have received; without cost you are to give.

Do not take gold or silver or copper for your belts;

no sack for the journey, or a second tunic,

or sandals, or walking stick.

The laborer deserves his keep.

Whatever town or village you enter,

look for a worthy person in it,

and stay there until you leave.

As you enter a house, wish it peace.

If the house is worthy, let your peace come upon it;

if not, let your peace return to you."

The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity

John 16:12-15

Jesus said to his disciples:

"I have much more to tell you, but you cannot bear it now.

But when he comes, the Spirit of truth,

he will guide you to all truth.

He will not speak on his own,

but he will speak what he hears,

and will declare to you the things that are coming.

He will glorify me,

because he will take from what is mine and declare it to you.

Everything that the Father has is mine;

for this reason I told you that he will take from what is mine

and declare it to you.
