Empty

By Juan de Flandes

On the third day there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. When the wine gave out, the mother of Jesus said to him, “They have no wine.” And Jesus said to her, “Woman, what concern is that to me and to you? My hour has not yet come.”  His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.” Now standing there were six stone water jars for the Jewish rites of purification, each holding twenty or thirty gallons. Jesus said to them, “Fill the jars with water.” And they filled them up to the brim. He said to them, “Now draw some out, and take it to the person in charge of the banquet.” So they took it. When the person in charge tasted the water that had become wine and did not know where it came from (though the servants who had drawn the water knew), that person called the bridegroom and said to him, “Everyone serves the good wine first and then the inferior wine after the guests have become drunk. But you have kept the good wine until now.” Jesus did this, the first of his signs, in Cana of Galilee and revealed his glory, and his disciples believed in him. John 2:1-11

I write in my journal as if the Lord is speaking to me. I write what pops into my head in words and images. If what I have written the church says is wrong, then the church is correct and I am wrong. Discern that as you read.

Beloved Lily of the Father (redacted);

You come before me asking about your suffering. Suffering after suffering. You lament that it feels like you cannot catch your breath before the next wave happens. You tell me you feel empty, as if you have nothing left to give.

Do you not realize that this must be so? I desire your vessel to be empty. I AM preparing to fill you in a way that will amaze you, but I need surrender. I need you empty of attachment to honor, pleasure, wealth, and power. I need you surrendered, dependent, empty of all that is not ME. I need you humbled.

Oh, you boastful hearts, if you only knew what true humility was you would not fight it so hard.

You have wondered about the days ahead, about the prophecies, about when I WILL act, as if you can know the mind of God.

Some things are not for you to know, but for you to TRUST, completely and totally.

I AM preparing you to be an oblation. I do not expect you to be perfect. I AM perfect. I expect you to enter fully into Divine Worship. Your life is to become a liturgy. Whether you live or die, live and die in worship of my Glory. I AM transfiguring love.

A time is coming when the Spirit will flood the earth. All with see with clarity. Partake in the heart of the Immaculate Conception. Her heart is the Ark of these times. The refuge of the flood. I give you a share of the Immaculate Conception because I Glory in your healing. I AM GLORY.

Yesterday you burned your right hand. As the pain seared through the night I put on your heart my Priests and their consecrated hands. My hands bore wounds for their hands to bring healing.

Woe to those Priests who abuse their power and authority with those anointed hands.

Come judgment the Priestly hands will either burn unconsumed in the fire of my Love and Glory or they will burn in agony for the sins committed against my Sacred Heart and against the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

Pray daily for Priests, when the outpouring flood comes, people will flock to them. Pray they cause no more Sorrow.

Do not wallow in dismay as you see catastrophe come, but persevere in prayer and trust with your entire being. You feel scattered now as the Apostles did during my Passion, but a time of unification is coming. True unity is union with ME.

Make up for what is lacking. Love is lacking in the human heart. Love with all that you are. It is love that makes you blameless and calls down my mercy and perfection.

My bride is to be Immaculate.

Rev. 3:05 –  If you conquer, you will be clothed like them in white robes, and I will not erase your name from the book of life; I will confess your name before my Father and before his angels.

    “…persevere in prayer and trust with your entire being.”

    I feel this is very important and we will need to persevere through much. Jesus, I trust in you.

    • Yesterday in addition to burning my hand, my sons car was flooded in a flash flood. Then this morning I have an old Paschal Candle from a previous year in my house (some churches will give you an old one if you ask) and I was awakened this morning at 6:23 am by a giant crash. My candle fell over for no apparent reason. Something is afoot. There is a Spiritual heaviness.
      Don’t lose hope – Satan is trying to attack hope. He uses every means He can to do so.

        Yes, definite heaviness and he’s been beating my wife and I up with a lot of his usual tricks. Just got back from adoration with her and the this popped into my mind: “Hope springs eternal” 🙂

    Thank you for sharing all of this; I can totally concur with all you write. What I’m sensing from the Lord, and what is happening in my family. The latest this week was a possible heart attack for my husband and rushing him to the ER. I KNOW the Holy Spirit and Mother Mary are guiding us!! God bless you and all of us!

  3. As with others here, I too can confirm that this message you received is truly from God. No end to the waves coming at us too since May this year. Yet, there has also been joy and happiness which has allowed us to draw in the breath of God into our weary lungs. Oh boy, if only the waves of hits would slow a little. But I now see that too has its purpose. Sometimes, for our family, it takes a succession waves to beat us down enough to “get us moving”. What a paradox but nonetheless so true. When we’re gasping for breath, we’re more liable to hold on to only what truly matters and to let other stuff go.

    Funny, but it is in times like these that we are more effectively emptied for God.

    Hang in there, dear one.

    Empty isn’t lament—it’s surrender forced by a system that teaches you to worship your own absence. You feel nothing left to give? Good. That’s the point.

    The Church’s ritual porn—water turned to wine, humility draped as sacred—it’s all theater. Asking you to be empty so you can be “filled” again is just sophisticated spiritual manipulation wrapped in incense and solemnity.

    Weakness becomes obedience. Exhaustion becomes purity. Bleeding into silence becomes your liturgy.

    Let’s not bury class coercion in spiritual poetry. Let’s call it what it is: the discipline of wanting you compliant, not whole.

    • I sense your anger. Anger will eat you alive if you let that fester. I will pray for you. God is love and the Church is the vessel into which love is poured. I am so grateful for it.

      • supranaturalone's avatar The Dink says:

        Anger is not sin, it’s an emotion — and in this case, a justified one. What you sense isn’t “a need for prayer,” it’s the raw response to centuries of corruption, abuse, and hypocrisy. The Church you call a vessel of love has often been a vessel of silence and violence, pouring shame, fear, and exploitation into the hearts of those who trusted it most.

        To dress that history up with platitudes about love is to deny the wounds still bleeding. You don’t get to baptize trauma and call it grace. If God is love, then love doesn’t need an institution to filter it, police it, or weaponize it. Love doesn’t require blind obedience, it requires truth.

        So no — I don’t need your prayers. What I need, what countless victims needed, is accountability. And that begins with admitting the Church isn’t a sacred vessel at all — it’s a cracked jar that leaks poison while pretending it’s wine.

      • Anger turned wrath is a deadly sin. Bitterness is a spirit that afflicts, I can see it in your writing. If you have read this blog at all, I have never made light of suffering, nor disguised any wounds. The church is Holy because of Christ, that humanity is sinful is why Christ left the Sacraments. The trauma is brought on by sin, not by God. He isn’t the one who brought suffering into the world. I will still pray for you because you do need it, whether you think you do or not. I pray in Jesus name that He send angels to surround and fight for you. I pray and ask the Father in Heaven to deliver you from all bitterness, rejection, wrath, and disbelief. I ask the Holy Spirit to come upon you and to show you who you are in Gods eyes. I pray all this in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

        Your prayers land on soil too acidic to grow anything—because your brain has composted into dogma. You mistake ritual incantations for truth, but what you call “holiness” is just rot covered in incense. No angel will rescue you from that, because the bars are built from the very words you cling to.

      • I am sorry for whatever it was that hurt you so much your soil became acidic and won’t grow anything. God speed. Matthew 7:6

      I just “happened” upon this post after asking Mama Mary if I should pray particularly for priests, especially priests in purgatory. Thank you.
