ON THE EUCHARIST:A DIVINE APPEAL

(Revelation to Sr Anna Ali of the Most Holy Eucharist)

VOLUME II

These are times of overwhelming violence. The Earth will be covered

with blood. The Churches will be persecuted. There will be many

martyrs who will fall on the field of an arduous battle to defend My

Holy Church.

My daughter, listen to what I tell you. You must be very attentive.

Watch with Me in the Sacrament of My Love. These are dark hours.

The present times demand accelerated action. My pain is immense.

Mankind has not become aware of the scourge that threatens it.

Countless number are Godless; they deny Me. Many doubt My

Eternal Father. They do not know Him and willingly refuse to accept

and know Him. Whoever does not listen to My merciful call will

receive the blows of the scourge.

Pray a great deal, atone and do acts of contrition not only for yourself.

These are times of overwhelming violence. The Earth will be

covered with blood. The Churches will be persecuted. There will

be many martyrs who will fall on the field of an arduous battle to

defend My Holy Church.

Woe to those who have so many lies! I am very sad and My heart is

filled with pain. I speak to you amid tears of blood. The Majesty of

My Eternal Father is outraged.

All creation is asking and crying for vengeance because of mankind.

For all this, time is approaching, it is unthinkable to mankind. I

assure you, what will happen has never been from the beginning of

creation until this day. It is urgent time for every single person to live

their life daily as the last day.

Mankind moves hastily with raging diabolical evil and the Red

Lucifer has taken possession of their hearts. I have so many graces

in My hands! Endeavour to entreat with faith. I listen to every soul

with favour. I love mankind, and Divine Mercy is followed by My

Divine Justice. If mankind returns to My Heart, I will forgive all

their sins!

Do not be afraid. Pray and cloister souls in your heart. I order you

to do so in spite of your affliction. Keep in mind your nothingness

and misery gives place to My Mercy towards you. Listen to Me, do

not want to know why.

I am shedding tears of blood for the whole of mankind.

I command you and counsel you through My Apostle. I want your

complete obedience to him and in My Will listening for My unique

voice for souls.

Time is coming soon when I will put the whole world into its own

casket.

LIVING THE DESERTION OF THE PRAETORIUM

Divine Appeal Reflection - 234

Today, consider in Divine Appeal 234: "You must atone for souls, you must live moments of desertion like Myself in the praetorium."

In life's quiet times and hardships, it's easy to feel ignored or forgotten. We could experience moments of loneliness, emotional exhaustion, or misunderstanding—when our hearts scream for solace but the solutions appear far away. Feelings of desolation can resemble a barren desert where we are unable to perceive the presence of God. These are the times when our efforts go unseen, our prayers echo without reply, and our hearts feel exiled in a world of noise. But in this inner desert, something sacred begins to stir. What if the silence is not abandonment, but an anointing? What if the hidden ache we carry is where heaven bends low to meet us?

Our Adorable Jesus entered His hour of greatest offering not only on the Cross, but earlier—in the dim, forgotten corridors of judgment and mockery. There, before the eyes of men who saw no worth in Him, He stood silently, bearing rejection, not for Himself, but for us. In those unseen hours, the weight of redemption was already being carried. Likewise, when we suffer without recognition, forgive in secret, or persist in love where none is returned, we are drawn into that same mystery. These unseen sacrifices, too, are part of His saving work.

The soul who learns to suffer silently for others enters a holy sanctuary that the world cannot comprehend. Every overlooked act of faithfulness becomes a brick in an invisible cathedral—one built for the healing of many. It is not glamour that redeems, but grace in hidden obedience. Our trials, when offered in union with Christ, become intercessions beyond words. They may never be acknowledged on earth, but in eternity, they will shine as acts of mercy poured out for countless souls.

To atone is not merely to do, but to be—to be available, surrendered, and attentive in the quiet places where God chooses to dwell. In the silence of misunderstood love, in the fatigue of uncelebrated endurance, in the ache of unanswered prayers—we become living chalices, filled with the sorrow of the world and the mercy of Christ. And in that stillness, Jesus is no longer alone. He finds us there, and through us, others are restored.

Prayer

Our Adorable Jesus, let our quiet suffering become seeds of unseen grace. In each hidden burden, teach us to carry the weight of another's need. Let silence speak love, and abandonment bear fruit. May we be formed in Your shadowed places, where the world does not see, but heaven kneels close. 

Sr. Anna Ali of the Most Holy Eucharist, intercede for us.

ON THE EUCHARIST:A DIVINE APPEAL

(Revelation to Sr Anna Ali of the Most Holy Eucharist)

VOLUME II

Beware the Red Lucifer instigates that My Eternal Father does not

exist! That perdition does not exist! This is all to make mankind fall

into sin.

My daughter, listen well to what I tell you. Pray and keep Me 

company in the Sacrament of My Love. I am on this Earth. I make 

Myself visible to you asking for prayers, reparation and penance 

in order to convert souls and bring them to repent of the Evil they 

do. Listen to My anguished call and weeping.

Mankind is fatigued and corrupted by blasphemies and sins of all

kinds.

Beware the Red Lucifer instigates that My Eternal Father does not

exist! That perdition does not exist! This is all to make mankind

fall into sin. Time is coming soon when I will no longer detain My

Eternal Father’s Divine Justice.

I have saved the world through suffering on the cross. Sin is an

infinite offense against My Heart. I do not want anyone to perish in

the Eternal fire. With tears I am calling everyone to pray and make

others pray. It is very urgent for mankind to become conscious of the

terrible reality. The time has run out: this is the apocalyptical hour.

If they do not return to My heart, they will only know desolation.

I implore you to cloister souls in your heart; in the first line the souls

I entrusted souls. Pray with fervour. Be always a living Tabernacle,

exposed to continuous humiliations and crucifixions. You must

atone for souls, you must live moments of desertion like Myself in

the praetorium. With your humility you must bring souls to My heart

in your prayers. You must submit yourself to My Will; always be

attentive to and heed My words from My Apostle.

THE CRY OF OUR WOUNDED ETERNAL FATHER

Divine Appeal Reflection - 233

Today, consider in Divine Appeal 233: "I have seen My Eternal Father with a CLUB in hand and looking very severe, glance at the Earth and repeat these words: 'In few minutes I will destroy this Earth of mire, insults, hideous blasphemy, scandal, infamy, infanticide and sacrilege. How much Evil! I will soon destroy everything if the world is not converted.'"

How often do we rush through our day—scrolling, arguing, buying, ignoring—without once lifting our hearts to God? In a world where sacrilege and infamy blend into daily headlines, Divine Appeal 233 interrupts the noise with a sobering vision: the Eternal Father, club in hand, grieved to the core, threatening to destroy the Earth if it does not convert. This is not abstract prophecy—it is a mirror to our times. When we justify gossip in the office, normalize profanity on our screens, and pass by the homeless without a glance, we participate, often unknowingly, in the very mire God warns about. Divine justice may feel distant until we realize it touches our lives in the very choices we make, moment by moment.

The vision is disturbing because of its uncompromising reality rather than its harshness. Every sin that taints the soul, every betrayal that goes unspoken, and every instance in which His Holy Presence is denied or ridiculed are all visible to God, the very embodiment of love. His eyes reach deep into our hearts, exposing the deeds we assumed were hidden and the cries of rejection we assumed went unheard. However, He does not turn away out of divine mercy. He witnesses not to condemn, but to heal—His sorrow is not for the punishment of sin, but for the lost souls He yearns to save. Every time we turn away from Him, He bears the pain, the grief, and the desire for our return. Even though this vision is sobering and humble, it is a call to repentance and a reminder to return to His kindness and grace. For in His gaze, there is always room for forgiveness, always a place for us to find refuge, no matter how deep our fall..These are not just "big sins" happening somewhere else—they are echoed in our indifference, our silence, our refusal to defend truth in daily conversations. As the Catechism teaches, sin is a failure in genuine love for God and neighbor caused by a perverse attachment to certain goods (cf. CCC 1849). Our Adorable Jesus, who bore the weight of all sin, watches us live as though His Passion were just a story, not a reality still unfolding in the soul of every sinner.

Yet even in the face of such justice, our merciful God gives a path forward: conversion. This appeal is not a final verdict, but a final invitation. We are not powerless—we are invited to pray, fast, forgive, and repair. Parents can teach mercy by forgiving their children. Workers can offer silent sacrifices for colleagues. Teens can resist peer pressure and live the Gospel quietly. Daily life is the battleground for holiness, where repentance begins not in grand gestures, but in humble, consistent choices. Scripture calls us to be transformed by the renewing of our minds, that we may discern God’s will—what is good, pleasing, and perfect (cf. Romans 12:2; CCC 1435).

Let us take this warning seriously but not despairingly. The vision shows us how near judgment is—but also how near mercy remains through Our Adorable Jesus. He is not only our Judge but our Advocate, pleading constantly before the throne of grace. The time is short, but the opportunity is now. May we be the ones who respond—not later, but today—with lives that glorify God, repair what has been broken, and help heal the world by the way we live.

Prayer

Our Adorable Jesus, with hearts aware of the world’s deep wounds, we offer You our sorrow and love. Cleanse us from sin, awaken true repentance, and transform our lives into reparation. Use us to draw souls back to You. And in we, may the Father’s justice be softened and His mercy triumph.

Sr. Anna Ali of the Most Holy Eucharist, intercede for us.

ONE SOUL WON, ETERNAL GAIN

Divine Appeal Reflection - 233

Today, consider in Divine Appeal 233: "The Red Lucifer torments you, he is cunning and clever. He is very aggressive to you because when you win just a single soul for Me he loses. He is very aware of the fact that his time is very short. He is preparing a great deception for all My Eternal Father’s creation."

Wake up, soldier of Christ! You are not living in neutral territory. You are on a battlefield, and the enemy—Lucifer himself—has marked you because you belong to the Light. Our Adorable Jesus, pulls back the veil to show us what many prefer to ignore: Satan is not passive. He is cunning, clever, and filled with fury because he knows his time is short. Every moment you draw closer to Christ, every time you help even one soul turn toward Heaven, you inflict a loss on the enemy’s kingdom. That’s why the attacks increase when you’re doing something right. This isn’t a sign to retreat—it’s confirmation that you are dangerous to hell.

This spiritual truth is not theoretical—it plays out in real, gritty ways. You begin fasting, and suddenly you’re overcome with frustration or distractions. You share your faith, and relationships get strained. You lead someone back to confession, and you’re hit with spiritual dryness or unexpected chaos. These are not coincidences. They’re backlash. But take heart—this is the cross that saints embraced. St. Gianna Beretta Molla chose death to give her child life. St. Oscar Romero preached truth until the day a bullet met him at the altar. St. José Sánchez del Río shouted “Viva Cristo Rey!” with shackled feet and bloodied back. They didn't flee spiritual warfare; they stood firm because they knew eternity was at stake—and they trusted the triumph of Christ.

Our Adorable Jesus warns of a great deception—a looming spiritual fog meant to mislead even the faithful. This is not a distant prophecy; it’s unfolding now. We see it in a world that exalts pleasure over purity, feelings over faith, and self over sacrifice. It’s the lie that you can have God without the Gospel, or peace without truth. Yet in this fog, God raises saints to shine like beacons. Blessed Carlo Acutis, immersed in modern technology, used his gifts not for self-glory but to lead others to the Eucharist. He reminds us that even youth, even the digital world, can become battlegrounds for glory. In a time of confusion, clarity is radical—and holiness, revolutionary.

This battle is fierce, but do not be afraid. Saints are not superhumans—they are sinners who chose love over fear, faith over comfort. So can you. When you forgive, when you speak truth, when you kneel before the Eucharist, when you love those who hurt you—you punch holes in hell’s gates. The enemy is loud because he is losing. Our Adorable Jesus has already won the war. All He asks is that you stay in the fight. Cling to the sacraments. Stay close to Our Lady. Read the Word. Be dangerous—for love’s sake. Heaven is watching, and eternity is worth everything.

Prayer

Our Adorable Jesus, awaken our hearts to the urgency of this battle. Give us boldness like the saints to fight with love, truth, and perseverance. Let us not fear the enemy, but trust in Your triumph. And in we, may Your Kingdom come and evil be shattered by grace. 

Sr. Anna Ali of the Most Holy Eucharist, intercede for us.

DIVINE ABANDONMENT

Divine Appeal Reflection - 233

Today, consider in Divine Appeal 233: "Abandon yourself in My Will recognizing your nothingness and your honesty, allowing complete freedom and being at the command of My Will and I will guide you." 

There is a sacred place within the soul where God longs to dwell completely—where all resistance ends and love begins. Our Adorable Jesus calls us tenderly but firmly: “Abandon yourself in My Will... recognizing your nothingness and your honesty.” This is the invitation that echoed in the heart of every saint—not to do great things, but to let God do everything in them. It is not self-rejection, but self-offering. As the Catechism teaches, holiness is not our achievement, but the fruit of grace received in freedom (cf. CCC 2011). To abandon ourselves is to enter into love.

Saint Bakhita, once enslaved and stripped of dignity, found in Christ a freedom deeper than any chain. As a lay sister in a quiet convent, she abandoned bitterness and embraced God’s Will with childlike trust. Her life teaches the laity today that even in suffering, obscurity, and unfulfilled dreams, we are never lost to God. When parents are overwhelmed, when workers are overlooked, when young people feel uncertain—our Adorable Jesus says, “Let Me lead.” This surrender, honest and small, becomes luminous in the eyes of eternity. True greatness lies not in doing more, but in yielding more to Divine Love.

Saint Damien of Molokai, a priest who gave his life to lepers in Hawaii, embodies this abandonment in the priesthood. He did not seek comfort or recognition, but offered his health, his voice, and eventually his body to serve the forgotten. His surrender was not dramatic, but daily—offering Mass, cleaning wounds, listening to broken hearts. Today’s priests walk the same road when they persevere in hidden faithfulness, celebrate sacraments in empty chapels, or love their people even when unthanked. Like Christ, their fruitfulness flows from obedience, not outcomes (cf. CCC 1547). Our Adorable Jesus guides those who give Him everything.

In cloisters and quiet chapels, Saint Mary of Jesus Crucified, the “Little Arab,” teaches consecrated souls to abandon themselves in mystic simplicity. Her ecstatic love and profound humility flowed from a total emptying of self into God’s Will. She prayed, “Holy Spirit, inspire me, love me, guide me,” and trusted with her whole being. For religious today, surrender means letting go of consolations, trusting in the midst of spiritual darkness, and living every vow with joy. Their nothingness, freely offered, becomes a hymn to Divine Providence (cf. CCC 305). In this, the consecrated heart becomes the hidden furnace of grace for the whole Church.

Prayer

Our Adorable Jesus, draw us into the depths of Your Will, where fear dissolves and love remains. Teach us, in every state of life, to abandon all that we are. May our honesty and our littleness become Your dwelling place. And in we who surrender completely, be glorified forever. 

Sr. Anna Ali of the Most Holy Eucharist, intercede for us.

PERFECT IN LOVE, HUMBLE IN CHRIST

 Divine Appeal Reflection - 233

Today, consider in Divine Appeal 233: "Be perfect and humble,..." 

The invitation to embrace both perfection and humility finds its foundation in the life of Christ, reverberating through the heart of the Church's enduring wisdom. In a world overflowing with distractions, where the pursuit of status often drowns out deeper truths, this call becomes a quiet yet urgent summons. It calls us to cut through the noise, to cultivate an inner peace that is not shaped by external recognition, but by a steadfast commitment to grace, integrity, and quiet strength.Our Adorable Jesus, who is the fullness of perfection and the model of humility, continues to speak this invitation into the heart of every vocation: the layperson navigating secular demands, the priest ministering amid skepticism and fatigue, and the consecrated soul offering their life in radical witness. In a digital age obsessed with image and self-definition, Christ redefines greatness: not in being admired, but in being poured out (cf. Philippians 2:7–8; cf. CCC 520).

Lay people today face intense cultural pressures—comparison on social media, pressure to "have it all," and a growing hostility toward public expressions of faith. And yet, Christ calls them to perfection not by withdrawing from the world, but by transforming it. A young professional in a competitive office who chooses honesty over career advancement lives a powerful witness. A couple who remains faithful in a difficult marriage, showing forgiveness rather than walking away, models the enduring love of God. A teenager who resists peer pressure and clings to the sacraments amidst a secular school culture is living heroic virtue. Humility in these situations often means choosing to be misunderstood rather than compromising the Gospel (cf. Matthew 5:10–12; cf. CCC 2013).

Priests in the contemporary world are called to shepherd flocks that are often distracted, disengaged, or disillusioned. They carry not only the sacraments, but the weight of broken families, suffering youth, and the wounds of scandal in the Church. Our Adorable Jesus shows them that perfection is not in flawless execution, but in the crucified love that stays faithful amid rejection. A priest livestreaming Mass to just a few online viewers, ministering in post-pandemic parishes, or spending hours helping the addicted or depressed, reflects Christ’s pastoral heart. Humility for him may mean embracing administrative burdens, walking with those who no longer believe, or remaining in difficult assignments without recognition—trusting God sees all (cf. CCC 1551, 1564).

Consecrated souls in today’s world are often surrounded by noise that mocks silence and a culture that questions the value of celibacy, poverty, or obedience. Yet their lives are a silent contradiction to the world’s hunger for more. A cloistered nun praying while the world sleeps, or a missionary sister serving in violent slums without Instagram applause, offers a holy resistance. In a time when everyone is expected to brand their identity, they empty themselves to be fully Christ’s. Their perfection lies in deep interior union, and their humility in their hiddenness. As St. Thérèse showed, the “little way” of love is a path to sainthood even in a time that overlooks the unseen (cf. CCC 925, 933).

Prayer

O our Adorable Jesus, teach us to embrace our fragility and let Your grace transform our weaknesses into strength. Through Your boundless love, shape us into vessels of virtue, so that in all we do, Your presence may shine brightly. May our lives become a reflection of Your tenderness, and through us, let the world encounter Your transforming love. Guide our steps, that in our journey, others may see not ourselves, but You.

DIVINE APPEAL 233

ON THE EUCHARIST:A DIVINE APPEAL

(Revelation to Sr Anna Ali of the Most Holy Eucharist)

VOLUME II

I have seen my Eternal Father with a CLUB in hand and looking

very severe, glance at the Earth and repeat these words: “In few

minutes I will destroy this Earth of mire, insults, hideous blasphemy,

scandal, infamy, infanticide and sacrilege. How much Evil! I will

soon destroy everything if the world is not converted.”

My daughter, pray a great deal and watch with Me in the Sacrament 

of My Love. These are dark hours. Listen to Me, do not be afraid, it 

is I who wants it this way! Do not tire. Do what I ask you, without 

wanting to know how and when. Abandon yourself in My Will 

recognizing your nothingness and your honesty, allowing complete 

freedom and being at the command of My Will and I will guide you 

and My Apostle of the last days will guide you in your enterprise.

The Red Lucifer torments you, he is cunning and clever. He is very

aggressive to you because when you win just a single soul for Me

he loses. He is very aware of the fact that his time is very short. He

is preparing a great deception for all My Eternal Father’s creation.

I implore you My daughter pray without ceasing, do reparation,

penance, acts of contrition not only for yourself but also for souls.

Be perfect and humble, you should prepare yourself always for

My Eucharistic celebrations. It is the greatest prayer which you

will never understand its greatness. Follow Me along the painful

way to Calvary where I shed My blood. Adore it and offer it to My

Eternal Father so that it may serve for the salvation of souls. I tell

you My Eternal Father’s anger is overflowing. The Red Lucifer has

imprisoned the souls. Their eyes are covered with mire.

I have seen My Eternal Father with a CLUB in hand and looking

very severe, glance at the Earth and repeat these words:

“In few minutes I will destroy this Earth of mire, insults, hideous

blasphemy, scandal, infamy, infanticide and sacrilege. How much

Evil! I will soon destroy everything if the world is not converted.”

Do penance for souls. I speak with you amid tears of blood. Pray and

make others pray! Sacrifice and atone and make others atone. In this

way My Eternal Father’s anger will be appeased. In the Sacrament

of My Love as I am exposed I will pour the treasures of My mercy

in the souls of mankind. Speak to My Apostle to help souls form

cenacles and unite to pray in order to save the world. All nature is

asking for vengeance.

Cross yourself moment to moment with the sign of the Cross.

Cloister souls in your heart; in the first line the souls I entrusted

souls.

I want complete obedience from you. Listen to My Apostle. Suffer

and learn, time is short. These are grave moments. I must accomplish

many signs in your heart, do not be afraid. I have erected an altar in

your heart.

There is nothing that I did not suffer for the salvation of mankind.

THE DIVINE LONGING FOR HUMANITY

Divine Appeal Reflection - 232

Today, consider in Divine Appeal 232: "I want humanity."

Our Adorable Jesus' voice echoes through time, inviting souls to deeper faith and holiness. However, how frequently does the human heart reject, clinging to self-sufficiency and transient pleasures? The battle is not new—history is braided with the hesitations of those who, like the Israelites in the desert, saw His works yet lacked faith (cf. Psalm 95:8-9). St. Augustine reminds us that the greatest obstacle to God’s love is not His distance but our own reluctance to surrender. The call is clear: the Lord does not seek partial devotion but a heart willing to be transformed. To delay answering Him is to risk growing indifferent, settling for a faith that neither deepens nor bears fruit (cf. Revelation 3:16).

In an age where people feel unseen and unloved, His message remains the same: "I want humanity." The world offers many illusions of belonging, yet loneliness persists, even in crowds. Some seek recognition in digital spaces, others in achievements, yet the deepest hunger remains unmet. The saints understood this longing well. St. Francis de Sales, observing the restless nature of the soul, noted that no amount of human approval can replace the divine gaze that sees and loves unconditionally. Like the woman who reached for Christ’s garment in silent desperation, hearts today cry out to be truly known (cf. Mark 5:25-34). To each, Christ offers not mere acknowledgment but a transforming embrace, calling them into His very life.

He desires each soul as it is but refuses to leave it unchanged. Divine love does not merely comfort; it refines, much like gold purified in fire (cf. Malachi 3:3). St. Catherine of Siena, whose words sparked countless souls, realized that God's call is not to remain as we are, but to be devoured by and recreated in His love. The fear of loss, sacrifice, and stepping away from the familiar often creates resistance to this transformation. Yet, as the saints have shown, a soul that surrenders to Christ does not lose itself but is instead fulfilled—finding true life in the radiance of His light (cf. Matthew 16:25).

If a soul yields to this divine appeal, it will bear fruit and radiate His light in a world clouded by doubt (cf. John 15:5). Christ’s call is not a mere invitation to personal holiness but a commission to be His presence to others. St. Bernard of Clairvaux described the soul filled with divine love as a fountain that overflows naturally rather than through force. The world today longs for such souls—souls who, having been transformed, provide healing where there is divide, kindness where there is judgment, and hope where there is hopelessness. To respond to Christ’s longing is not only to be gathered into His love but to become a vessel of it, carrying His presence into the world.

Prayer

Our Adorable Jesus, You seek us even when we resist, calling us beyond what is comfortable into the fire of Your love. May our hearts not grow hardened, nor our spirits hesitant before Your grace. Form us into souls that reflect Your light, and in Your love, may we become instruments of Your divine will. 

Sr. Anna Ali of the Most Holy Eucharist, intercede for us.

UPHOLDING FAITH ON FIRE

Divine Appeal Reflection - 231

Today, consider in Divine Appeal 231: "The revolution has already begun a long time ago and it cannot be stopped by human hands! There is Red Lucifer’s power which walks in their midst. They are commanded by his Legion and they destroy everything that falls in their hands."

Our Adorable Jesus warns us that the battle we face is not new—it has been unfolding for centuries, creeping into every part of life. Today, we see its effects in ways we never imagined: a grandmother afraid to speak about her faith because she might be labeled intolerant, a teenager pressured to fit into a world that mocks purity, a father struggling to lead his family in prayer when distractions pull everyone apart. The Catechism reminds us that sin is not just a personal failing; it spreads like wildfire, shaping cultures and institutions in ways that pull us further from God (cf. CCC 408-409). And yet, despite how overwhelming it seems, we must remember that Christ has already won. No darkness, no deception, no rebellion can ever undo His victory (cf. John 16:33).

The mention of "Red Lucifer’s power" brings to mind the way evil subtly weaves itself into daily life. It’s not always obvious—sometimes, it’s in the slow erosion of truth rather than a sudden attack. We see it when companies silence voices of faith but celebrate everything that contradicts God’s law. We feel it when schools push ideologies that confuse young minds about identity and purpose. A mother looks on helplessly as her child, who was formerly excited to attend church, start to question everything after hearing stories in class or seeing images on a screen. The Bible warns us that the enemy is like a roaring lion, looking to devour (cf. 1 Pet 5:8), but Our Adorable Jesus instructs us to fight—not with rage, but with truth, prayer, and love (cf. Eph 6:11–12).

The Legion that follows Lucifer does not always come with weapons and threats; sometimes, it comes wrapped in promises of a better world. We see it when people are shamed for defending life, when virtue is painted as outdated, when a person loses their job simply for refusing to compromise their faith. A young woman turning down a lucrative career opportunity because it goes against her morals. A teacher refusing to conform to an agenda that confuses rather than enlightens. A small parish community standing together despite ridicule, choosing to keep Christ at the center of their lives. The Catechism reveals that the Christian journey is no broad and easy road but a narrow, demanding ascent (cf. CCC 2015). Yet, every act of faith—no matter how quiet, no matter how hidden—becomes a hammer against the gates of darkness. A single whispered prayer, a moment of unseen perseverance, even the smallest "yes" to God sends tremors through eternity. For in the economy of grace, no trust is wasted, no sacrifice unnoticed; each step toward Him becomes a torch that scatters the night.

We are not alone, even though it sometimes feels easy to feel helpless. Instead of calling us to face this struggle alone, our Adorable Jesus walks with us.The world may grow louder in its defiance, but it is temporary. Every whispered prayer, every act of kindness, every refusal to bow to falsehood is a seed of light that evil cannot uproot. The victory belongs to Christ, and those who endure will see the fullness of His kingdom (cf. Rev 21:5). So, we keep going. We hold onto hope. We trust that even when the world seems to crumble, He is making all things new.

Prayer

Our Adorable Jesus, in a world that twists truth and silences faith, be our steady light. When fear grips us, make us bold. When doubt creeps in, fill us with trust. When love grows cold, set our hearts aflame. Let our lives speak of You louder than words ever could. 

Sr. Anna Ali of the Most Holy Eucharist, intercede for us.

LIVING LIKE A TABERNACLE

Divine Appeal Reflection - 231

Today, consider in Divine Appeal 231: "I have given Myself to your heart; offer Me everything, continuously, living with Me in the same host. You must live like a tabernacle, at My disposition and that of all mankind in reparation for sins of all kinds."

To live as a tabernacle is to become a dwelling place for Our Adorable Jesus, allowing His presence to radiate through us in a world that so often rushes past Him. This is not a passive state of holiness but a sacred mission—a continuous offering of our hearts as a place where His love may rest and from which it may pour forth. Imagine yourself moving through a restless, indifferent world—amid the noise of impatience, the weight of anger, and the fog of spiritual blindness. Though the world hurries past, your soul remains still, anchored in the awareness that Christ abides within you. In that sacred moment, being a living tabernacle means choosing gentleness over irritation, offering silent prayers for the weary, and radiating His light where darkness prevails. It is to bear His Eucharistic love into every encounter, becoming a vessel of His peace in a world that longs for Him yet knows Him not (cf. CCC 2691).

The call to be a living tabernacle is not found in extraordinary feats but in the quiet, transformative choices of daily life. It is the nurse who, after an exhausting shift, takes an extra moment to comfort a patient, seeing in them the suffering Christ. It is the young woman who, after experiencing heartbreak, resists bitterness and instead entrusts her pain to Christ, allowing her wounds to become a channel of healing for others.It is the father who, instead of reacting in frustration, gently corrects his child, knowing that his patience reflects the mercy of God. It is the young professional who, despite the pressure to compromise their values for success, chooses integrity, silently offering their sacrifice for those who do not yet know Christ (cf. Rom 12:1).These are the unseen altars where grace is poured out, where Christ’s presence is not only housed but revealed. To live as a tabernacle is to recognize that every interaction, every challenge, and every hidden act of love can become a vessel for His divine presence. It is through these simple yet profound moments that the world encounters the reality of God dwelling among us.

To transform suffering, injustice, and hardship into a living sacrifice is the essence of becoming a tabernacle.  The tenacity of hope in Christ is demonstrated by a refugee who, in spite of losing everything, clings to faith and thankfulness, and by a police officer who treats everyone with decency, even in the face of violence. A man battling addiction who, each day, chooses to fight rather than surrender to despair, embodies the silent perseverance of the Cross. A young adult struggling with uncertainty surrenders their fears to God, turning their restless heart into an altar of trust. Even in pain and obscurity, we are called to remain steadfast, just as the tabernacle in a church stands as a quiet yet radiant beacon of His abiding love.Every unnoticed act of sacrifice, every moment of grace extended in difficulty, becomes a dwelling place for Christ. In these simple but profound choices, the world does not merely hear of God’s presence—it encounters Him.

The person who transcends self-interest and becomes a tool of grace in a world that frequently disdains God and His Word is ultimately a living tabernacle. It is a life that loves when love is hard, serves when it is inconvenient, and forgives when forgiveness is unmerited. Giving Christ's presence and charity to a world in dire need is, in fact, the core of being a tabernacle of Christ.It is allowing Jesus to be seen in our words, actions, and very presence. By remaining united to Him in prayer, frequenting the sacraments, and offering every moment as an act of reparation, we fulfill this Divine Appeal—not just in theory, but in the reality of daily life.

Prayer

Our Adorable Jesus, make our hearts Your living tabernacle, that we may carry Your presence into the world. Teach us to love, to suffer with joy, and to be a light in darkness. May our lives be a continual offering of reparation and grace. Keep us always united with You.
