Woman, What Have I Told You?

Crying, treasuring the last time I would receive our Lord at Sunday's Mass--my heart hears these words. "Woman, why are you weeping? Remember My Words. Remember to Rejoice always, in all things, give thanks; and pray without ceasing--for this is the Will of the Father for you."

In the midst of my tears then a smile comes for I know; Yes, I am to rejoice!! This is not the end--this is in my thinking--the beginning. Communion and Mass will come again---just as Jesus too, will come again as HE PROMISED.
Dear beloved of God---do not let your hearts be saddened--for GOD is ever going before us --to prepare all that is to come, and the places of protection too, that God has set up for us. Under His wings, forever in His hands.

Read out loud daily Psalm 91 for He indeed is our refuge and our strength, our God in Whom we trust--now and forever.
1 You who dwell in the shelter of the Most High, *who abide in the shade of the Almighty,*
2 Say to the LORD, “My refuge and fortress, my God in whom I trust.”
3 He will rescue you from the fowler’s snare, from the destroying plague,
4 He will shelter you with his pinions, and under his wings you may take refuge;
his faithfulness is a protecting shield.
5 You shall not fear the terror of the night nor the arrow that flies by day,
6 Nor the pestilence that roams in darkness, nor the plague that ravages at noon.
7 Though a thousand fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, near you it shall not come.
8 You need simply watch; the punishment of the wicked you will see.
9 Because you have the LORD for your refuge and have made the Most High your stronghold,
10 No evil shall befall you, no affliction come near your tent.
11 *For he commands his angels with regard to you,g to guard you wherever you go.
12 With their hands they shall support you, lest you strike your foot against a stone.
13 You can tread upon the asp and the viper, trample the lion and the dragon.
14 Because he clings to me I will deliver him; because he knows my name I will set him on high.
15 He will call upon me and I will answer; I will be with him in distress;
I will deliver him and give him honor.
16 With length of days I will satisfy him, and fill him with my saving power.

Remember His Words! Pray without ceasing--give thanks in all things and REJOICE--He is with us always!

About the Author

Elizabeth Thomas

Born the youngest of nine children, raised VERY Catholic across the street from Immaculate Heart of Mary church and school—Mom and Dad led by example and word their FAITH in God and saw to it that I was given 12 years of Catholic Education. (Mount St. Mary’s Academy/1965)

But, most importantly, because of my parents’ spiritual renewal after attending Cursillo Weekends, I too went on a retreat at our beloved Subiaco Abbey in Arkansas and there, at age 20, gave my life totally, surrendering all to my Lord and best Friend. This was my “Pentecostal” event that left me, like all the early Christians, on fire with God’s love and forever changed.

My husband Robert and I have been married for 54 this year in a marriage arranged by God. We have 8 children, two in heaven, 24 grandchildren, and 28 great-grandchildren. The story of our life together can be found in a book titled “My Journey, My Cross-As the Journals End,” published by Westbow Press . Our life together has been one awesome up and down roller coaster ride which enriched my heart with so many of the gifts of the Holy Spirit. I have found that the only way, Wisdom, Understanding, Words of Knowledge, Discernment, and Healing can be received is first by experiencing in your life the hurts of others. (and you yourself a sword will pierce)^* so that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.” Luke 2 v 35.

God has blessed me also many other talents and skills--but sometimes, blessings/gifts can and have caused problems or conflict in my life, as I am human and all too quickly that part of me shows up. Thank You God that You also show up!

Because of the many ways that He has rescued me, and taught me through my trials and tribulations and continuous cries for “Help”--- a weekly podcast radio show called “It’s Me, God” can still be found on www.radiotitans.com
