At the Pope John Paul II Cultural Center

"I put a seal of my love in your heart to give hope and life to others. I empower you to reach out to those in darkness and to those who are searching for meaning. You have my anointing to weather the storms the challenges that come your way. Be my light, my hands, and my feet so that others may know of my love for them. Never be afraid of the task ahead of you for I have taken it upon myself to carry it for you. All you have to do is to stay close to me."

“My heart burns for love of you, you think you are not lovable, but I tell you I love you. Receive my love tonight, my compassion, my mercy, my blood and water which gush forth for you. Let your heart burn with love for me.”

An image of God’s grace, mercy, and love gushing forth like a water fall from the monstrance.

The Lord wants to purge us of our sin. To purify us. To make us clean and whole.

“I will give, in my house and within my walls, a monument and a name better than sons and daughters; an eternal, imperishable name will I give them.” (Is 56:5) God is giving us a name which is everlasting, a new identity which we have in Jesus Christ, through His Spirit.

“If I invite you to come into the depths of My heart, would you come? Would you come to Me? Would you give up everything for Me? I lay open the depths of My merciful heart to you... I am asking you to come.”

“The Lord is standing before us right now (as in the Divine Mercy Image). Some of us are still standing in the shadows. We’re not approaching Jesus. ‘Come to me all who are burdened… I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life… come to me.’”

“All you who are thirsty, come to the water! You who have no money, come, receive grain and eat; Come, without paying and without cost, drink wine and milk! Why spend your money for what is not bread; your wages for what fails to satisfy? Heed me, and you shall eat well, you shall delight in rich fare.”

Completely immerse ourselves in His Mercy. We are called here for a reason. Completely pour out everything in your heart to Him. Be open to whatever He askes of you.

Seek me not in the darkness for you will not find me there. Waste not your time seeking pleasure, seeking the things that do not edify you, that do not edify my kingdom. I am not there. I am in the light, I am the light and that light cannot dwell in darkness. Be children o f light. For I have made you for myself to light up my kingdom. You are my hands, my feet, my eyes, my ears, my heart. Be the bearers of my light. I love you above all things. I love you because of who you are, my child.

Without God we have nothing, but with Him we have everything that we need.
