Goodmorning Disciples of Jesus Christ. We pray that everyone had a wonderful Feast of Pentecost this past Sunday! Now that we have gotten through most of the month of May, and tomorrow is the Feast Day of the Most Holy Trinity, we must continue to focus on refilling our lamps with oil as the five wise virgins did to prepare for Bridegroom! To do this we must continue to nourish our souls with more of God’s Divine Will. What a great way to enter into fellowship with the three distinct persons of the Most Holy Trinity. https://www.catholicculture.org/culture//liturgicalyear/calendar/day.cfm?date=2024-05-26.
Today, we will reflect on Matthew, Chapter 6, and the promises Our Lord gives us if we seek Him first in everything. As we each learn how to live perpetually in God’s Divine Will, let us take some time in understanding what it means to be totally dependent on God and His Divine Will. Here is Our Lord teaching us exactly what it means to live completely in His Divine Will through Matthew, Chapter 6 in God’s Holy Word. https://biblehub.com/niv/matthew/6.htm.
Giving to the Needy
1“Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven. 2“So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 3But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
Prayer
5“And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 6But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 7And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. 8Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him. 9“This, then, is how you should pray: “ ‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, 10your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. 11Give us today our daily bread. 12And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. 13And lead us not into temptation, a but deliver us from the evil one. b ’ 14For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.
Fasting
16“When you fast, do not look somber as the hypocrites do, for they disfigure their faces to show others they are fasting. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 17But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face, 18so that it will not be obvious to others that you are fasting, but only to your Father, who is unseen; and your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. Treasures in Heaven. 19“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. 20But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. 22“The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy, c your whole body will be full of light. 23But if your eyes are unhealthy, d your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness! 24“No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.
Do Not Worry
25“Therefore, I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? 26Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life e ? 28“And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? 31So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
So, as we see here in Matthew, Chapter 6, Our Lord is telling us to seek His Kingdom first! The paragraphs all speak of what NOT TO DO by Our Lord until we get to the second to the last sentence, which is verse 33! Wow, Gods Most Holy Trinity number doubled! “But, seek first His Kingdom and His Righteousness, and all of these things will be given to you as well.”
The Kingdom is the Divine Will of God! So, Our Lord is explaining to us here that when we pray to Our Heavenly Father for His Will on earth as it is in Heaven and we stop doing all of the things that He is telling us not to do, and seek His Divine Will first, everything will be given to us. The instruction in Matthew, Chapter 6 that Our Lord gave us is basically the same as His Divine Will teachings as given to Luisa Piccarreta, but in a very direct manner. In the first paragraph of Matthew, Chapter 6, Our Lord is focusing on our Purity of Intention, which is what Our Lord described to Luisa Piccarreta in Volumes 1-4. If we are doing ANY acts of Charity, it must all be for the love of God. We can’t be doing it to impress our Priests, our loved ones, family or friends. Remember that God knows our hearts and desires, so as we serve Our Lord, let’s make sure we are doing it for only love of God. This is the defect we all have to some degree because we always believe we are doing something for love of God, when it might be our own personal intentions. We need to check ourselves as we are doing these acts of charity and make sure we are not building up our false piety by fishing for compliments on helping Our Church or expecting something in return from someone we helped. The biggest lie we can tell ourselves is believing we have already made it to become a saint because of all the works we have done for the Heavenly Kingdom. Remember, we don’t make it to Heaven on just our works alone. According to Our Lord’s teachings given to Luisa Piccarreta, purity of intention is one of the four pillars of the Divine Will. https://www.openbible.info/topics/works_alone.
Verses 5-14 in Matthew, Chapter 6 are about prayer. Our Lord taught us how to pray to Our Heavenly Father with the Lord’s prayer. Again, Our Lord is emphasizing an intimate (meaning close) Relationship with Him. If we are praying out loud in front of a crowd of people, are we speaking to God from our hearts, or are we trying to sound sanctimonious. As we grow deeper in love with God, He gives us the Graces to pray from our hearts in silent prayer, meditation and contemplation. Our Lord is telling us in the Our Father prayer to pray from our hearts to bring His Kingdom to earth (This is also His desire to restore the Heavenly Kingdom back to its original design before the fall of Adam and Eve.) He is also telling us to pray in private and spend some time with Him in developing our Relationship with Him. This is an outpouring of reciprocal love that we have for Him, and He has for us that keeps growing in our souls until we have been purified of all defects and stains of sin on our souls and He can rest perpetually in us as we become a living Tabernacle. This is where we really start to grow closer to Him in our Spiritual journey and we have covered this topic many times throughout this blog on how to emulate St. Paul and all of the Saints, because our goal in this blog is to serve Our Lord by assisting Him with the salvation of souls. Luisa Piccarreta mastered contemplative prayer and received 3 Spiritual unions with God before she entered into His Divine Will permanently! She is the only created soul by God born in original sin, waiting to be canonized to have received 3 Spiritual unions with God besides Our Blessed Mother born without original sin in full union with the Holy Trinity. All other Saints had 1 Spiritual union because he or she mastered a particular virtue, while also growing in all of the other virtues.
Verses 16-24 in Matthew, Chapter 6 are about detachments from the things of this earth. As we learn to fast and abstain from not only food, but things that bring us joy materially, we are learning how to detach from the things of this world and depend only on God and His provisions. In fact, the Holy Spirit is helping me with this post right now, because a few days ago, I definitely did not know what Our Lord wanted me to write for this post. This is my own personal encounter with the dark night of the senses and Our Lord is teaching me to come to Him for everything. Fasting and abstaining from food is not the only detachments we must make for God in order to live perpetually in His Divine Will. Our Lord explains to us in verses 22-23 that our eyes are like the lamp of the body. Meaning that what we see daily, watch on television or movies, read in books or magazines, and who we associate with are what feed our souls. If we look upon material things such as new cars, new cell phones, newer homes, etc…, we are feeding our soul material things that only satisfies our intellects temporarily. It is not nourishment for our souls. In order to detach ourselves from these things and anything that gratifies our senses, then we must focus on Spiritual nourishment in the Holy Scriptures, studying the lives of the Saints, and putting away the movies and TV shows steeped in sin. Our Lord is teaching us to detach from the sins of the flesh in everything! It doesn’t mean we can’t have fun; it means to stay away from the things that cause us to be tempted to sin. The more we stay focused on Our Lord through the Holy Mass, daily Scripture readings, and learning on the things of God, He detaches our fleshly desires for this material that we aren’t bringing into the Heavenly Kingdom! So, this is our daily challenge to be able to detach ourselves from everything that is not of God. How do we do this? By starting our day everyday fusing ourselves in God’s Divine Will and then continuing to fuse ourselves throughout the day, bringing ourselves back to God and His presence. Seek the Kingdom of God first in the morning, and everything throughout our day will fall into place!
In Matthew, Chapter 6, verses 25-34, Our Lord is telling us not to worry. Wow! I can honestly share with you all that as I go more and more into the dark night of the senses, I have come to not worry about anything. I am learning to detach from the things of this world, and less concerned about what the next prophetic message is from the latest Prophet. Do we still care what the Prophets say as we continue to learn how to live in God’s Divine Will? Yes, of course, but now I have an infused understanding that God is going to take care of us no matter what happens. If we die as a martyr, God is going to take care of us. If we are lacking something in our Marian Refuges, God is going to provide it. If we have loved ones that still need conversion, God is going to take care of them! We must TRUST in our Lord, because if we have the least bit of worry or concern over anything, then we are telling Our Lord that we don’t have enough FAITH in Him to take care of it. Remember, that Our Lord taught Luisa Piccarreta the act of resignation. When we resign our wills to God’s Divine Will, He will do all of the work in our souls, so we just have to follow His instruction and learn to let go and let God be God.
Wow! Isn’t it incredible! If we are seeking God’s Kingdom to dwell in us, He is going to provide everything we need. Here is little Faustina teaching us how to grow in God’s Divine Will and learning how to detach from the things of this world and allowing God to purify our souls. Faustina is an incredible Divine Will teacher to be so young, but it reflects how Our Lord infuses Divine knowledge and Divine understanding in all of those that seek His Kingdom first. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1uWaNvpECQ.
Let us Pray – Lord, we seek You first in the morning and in everything throughout our days on this earth, and we pray for Your Heavenly Kingdom to come to the earth as it is in Heaven. We are praying for Your Graces to detach us from everything that is holding us back from being a living Tabernacle of Your Divine Love for the world. Please continue to purify us and refine our souls in everything we do from our Purity of intentions in acts of love for You, to turning our eyes away from impure things of this world that keep us steeped in sin. Our desire is to love You in everything so that You consume us so much in Your Divine will that we place our complete nothingness into Your Allness. We place our small drop of nothingness into Your chalice of the Divine Will, and we pray for more and more of Your Graces to flow through us until we have become fully in union with Your Sacred Heart. We also ask Our Blessed Mother in this month of May to continue to intercede for us daily as She leads us closer and closer to Your Divine Will. We ask this in Your mighty name, Jesus Christ. Amen.
Here is an excerpt from the Book of Heaven from Volume 21, March 3, 1927. https://liveandloveforjesus.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/2a2c2-volume2128129.pdf.
March 3, 1927
The creature in whom the Divine Will reigns calls God to operate together with
her, and gives Him the glory of that very happiness with which He invested the
human acts. The offering of one’s actions to God purifies them and disinfects
them. I was offering my little acts as homage of adoration and of love to the Supreme Volition, and I thought to myself: “But, is it really true that whatever the soul who does the Divine Will does, God Himself does? What glory can He receive—after I have offered to Him my little work and everything I may do—from coming to do it together with me?”
And my sweet Jesus, moving in my interior, told me: “My daughter, don’t you feel Me
within you, as I follow your acts? Indeed, wherever My Will reigns, all things, even the most little and natural, convert into delight for Me and for the creature, because they are the effect of a Divine Will reigning in her, that cannot issue from Itself even a shadow of unhappiness. Even more, you must know that, in Creation, Our Supreme Fiat established all the human acts, investing them with delight, with joy and with happiness. So, work itself was to be of no burden for man, nor give him a shadow of tiredness, because, by possessing My Will, he possessed the strength that never tires and
never fails. “See, created things also are symbol of this. Does the sun perhaps tire of always giving its light? Certainly not. Does the sea tire of murmuring continuously, of forming its waves, of nourishing and multiplying its fish? Certainly not. Do the heavens tire of remaining always stretched out, or the earth of flowering? Certainly not. But why do they not get tired? Because in them there is the power of the Divine Fiat, that has the strength that is never exhausted. Therefore, all the human acts enter the order of all created things, and all of them receive the mark of happiness: the work, the food, the sleep, the word, the gaze, the step—everything. “Now, as long as man remained in Our Will, he remained holy and healthy, full of vigor and of untiring strength—capable of enjoying the happiness of his acts, and of delighting He who gave him so much happiness. As soon as he withdrew from It, he fell ill and lost the happiness, the untiring strength, the capacity and the taste to enjoy the happiness of his acts, that the Divine Will had invested with so much love.
“This happens also between one who is healthy and one who is sick: the first enjoys the food, works with more energy, takes pleasure in amusing himself, in strolling around, in chatting; the one who is sick feels disgust for food, feels no strength to work, is bored by amusements, chatting bothers him—everything is bad for him; the sickness has changed his nature, his acts, into pains. Now, suppose that the sick person returned to the vigor of his health: his strengths, his taste—everything would be restored in him.”
There are lots of prophetic messages posted on After the Warning website. One thing we wish to point out now is that we have all been waiting on the Warning to come because we know that it will be the beginning of big events. However, every year we can clearly see that we are inching closer and closer to the Warning, but our focus now should be on doing God’s complete Divine Will, and less on the prophetic messages. This is why we will continue to post them, but now as God’s Disciples, we have learned from His Holy Spirit that He is going to take care of us and our Refuges because we are trying to do His Will in everything. Our Lord warns us through His prophets, but now that we are prepared for what is coming, we don’t focus on the urgency of the message anymore, because God’s timing is not our timing, so the only urgency now is the intention to live completely in God’s Divine Will, so that when Our Lord does come in the Warning, our own sins and acts of love for God will repair some of our past sins. If we contemplate why Our Lord has been waiting on the Warning, we can clearly see that Our Lord is trying to save as many souls as possible through Repentance. If you have been following this blog since 2019, we are all way past Repentance through God’s graces now and have learned on how to become a True Disciple. So, the urgent messages from the Prophets are going to continue to come, because there are not that many people turning back to God in Repentance. Purification is still going to occur, but ever so slowly in our measure of time, and not when we expect. This is why we must keep our lamps filled with oil, always refreshing and nourishing our souls with God. That way we will always be prepared in case some cataclysmic weather event or earthquake occurs soon in our areas.
Here are the latest messages from Luz De Maria. Our Blessed Mother is trying to prepare us for what is coming by mentioning that we must be prepared for major Transformations and a continuous Purification. If we prepare our minds now that we must be in this for the long haul with Our Lord as His Disciples, then we realize that He is in control of everything, and He has already told us not worry. As major events start to unfold, those that are not trying to Repent or trying to live in God’s Divine Will, we as God’s Disciples will need to evangelize for the conversion of their souls. This is our job as God’s Disciples! All of these things may occur before the Warning, so we must get out there and preach the Gospel to the Nations! Here is the message from May 20, 2024. https://afterthewarning.com/messages-from-heaven/luz-de-maria/2024/may/22/the-new-disease-will-be-launched-with-force/.
The St. Paul Evangelization school is selling Miraculous medals and evangelization booklets for street evangelization. Here is their website in case you want to be able to hand these out during Purification in our areas and countries. https://evangelizationschool.com/store/product/bulk-miraculous-medals/
Here is a video from the St. Paul Evangelization school speaking on the power of the Miraculous medal. A very generous donor just placed 3,000 Miraculous medals into my hands two weeks ago, and our prayer group has started handing them out at our Churches and other fallen away Catholics. Our next goal is to street evangelize to all sinners, no matter what their background, because God is calling all sinners back to Him. https://evangelizationschool.com/store/.
Here is another message from Our Lord, Jesus Christ, given to Luz De Maria on May 16, 2024. https://afterthewarning.com/messages-from-heaven/luz-de-maria/2024/may/16/you-will-see-more-signs-in-heaven-and-on-earth/.
Our Lord is again telling us the time is now for conversion! If we are living in God’s Divine Will, this is way past the conversion part and into the journey of becoming a saint for God. When we are evangelizing prior to the Warning, our goal is to assist Our Lord in bringing Him as many souls as possible.

Here are the latest messages from Pedro Regis from Our Blessed Mother. Sadly, in the May 14, 2024 message Our Blessed Mother said soon in many places the bread will be just bread. Meaning, the words of consecration will be changed in some Churches. No one knows exactly when this will occur, but this will be the critical turning point of events, as we wrote in the previous post. https://afterthewarning.com/messages-from-heaven/pedro-regis/2024/may/25/the-enemies-will-act/.

Here is a very good interview between Joe McLane and Mark McLain on prophecies appearing to come together in the natural and physical realm on prophetic messages. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOFAX_-jO-U.
Here is a Jason A video with the solar storm that caused the Northern lights for 3 days. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hf2T9jkeuXY.
First, the signs in the sky from Our Lord have been Blood Moons and Solar eclipses. Especially the one from April 8, 2024, which we have written several posts on in this blog. Now we had 3 days of auroras up until May 13, 2024, on the Feast Day of Our Lady of Fatima, which also had auroras in 1917. Wow! Our Lord is speaking to us! Are we listening? Speak Lord, your servants are listening! Could these auroras be a sign from God that World War III is coming soon? If we go back and look at the time frame of the eclipse on April 8, 2024, and we compare it to the eclipses and following huge earthquakes in the United States in 1811, it was approximately 3 months when the large 8.0 plus earthquakes occurred. Here is the article again about the information on the eclipses and earthquakes that occurred. https://www.fivedoves.com/letters/jan2024/chance114-7.htm.
So, here we are close to 6 weeks post eclipse and no earthquakes. Thanks be to Our Lord, Jesus Christ. If we listen to the little girl mystic from Mexico, she had several messages about earthquakes. We will go back and see if we can listen to how many different messages on earthquakes she had and take some notes on their specifics and report it in the next post.
