The lover of our soul, listen to him
Jesus Christ, have mercy on us all

MESSAGE FROM JESUS CHRIST TO JULIE Message received Aug. 29, 2026

I speak now to those who are "showing up late to work." I am not a respecter of persons, and I do not hold any one soul in higher regard than another. I love all of My creation equally, and My sacrifice was for everyone that I created. My love for you is not based on works. It is not based on your level of faith. It is not based on the world's perspective of how you conduct yourselves in this life, nor do I measure your value by any earthly standards. My love for you is unconditional, and I desire that you would also come to the understanding of who you are in Me and why I have sent you here to the earth. In this way, you as well as My first-fruits remnant will walk in all that has been purposed for you in this life.

You see, you are all one body, one spirit, and one heart in Me, and no one member can operate completely alone without the others. I have created a beautiful and intricate tapestry, where each individual thread holds its place, and without each and every one, the tapestry could not be complete. My design is a masterful work where every piece holds a specific position and serves its purpose, and without even one piece, the puzzle is not complete. So, for those who feel guilt and shame, for those who are extremely discouraged because the hour is so late, and you don't believe it will matter whether you completely surrender and turn to Me or not, I tell you, it is still not TOO late. Although the allotted season for man draws to an end so quickly now, I still have not yet removed the restrainer, and I will counsel you and guide you, if you would only return to Me.

Remember the parable of the workers in the vineyard. Even those who came in to work at the last hour were paid the same wages as those who started their work early in the morning. Do you see how that correlates with your life now? You may not arrive until one minute until midnight, but the most important point is that you show up before the ark door closes, and before the free will choice is removed from you My children.

Just as the first-fruits remnant have a specific function in My end time plan, so do you have a specific function in this design- all important and valuable for its own reasons. Do not allow the enemy to discourage you and deceive you into believing that it is hopeless, and that the words that have been spoken through My messenger here are only for those who have received a certain level of spiritual maturity. This is a lie, and it is My desire that you come to Me in order that I reveal your individual truth to you concerning our unique and specialized relationship together.

Come now My children, come now and come quickly. Do not wait one more hour for truly the convergence is here upon you, and there is not a moment to waste..

YAHUSHUA, LOVER OF ALL SOULS

9 choirs of angels

THE 9 CHOIRS OF ANGELS
WHO ARE THEY AND HOW DOES THE CHURCH UNDERSTAND THEM?

When Catholics hear the word “angels,” we often think of guardian angels, Saint Michael or perhaps the angels surrounding the throne of God.

But Catholic tradition speaks of something much broader: nine choirs, or orders, of angels.
Where did this idea come from? Are all nine explicitly listed in the Bible? And what does the Church actually teach about them?

The answer is fascinating.

The Church teaches that angels are real, personal, spiritual creatures created by God, but the familiar nine-choir hierarchy comes from the development of Christian theological tradition based on the different angelic orders mentioned in Scripture.

1. THE FIRST HIERARCHY
CLOSEST TO THE CONTEMPLATION OF GOD

SERAPHIM
The name is associated with the idea of “burning ones.”

In Isaiah’s vision, the seraphim stand before God’s throne, proclaiming:
“Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts.” - Isaiah 6:3

They are traditionally associated with the burning love and worship of God.
SERAPHIM → LOVE & WORSHIP

CHERUBIM
Cherubim appear throughout Scripture in connection with God’s holiness and presence.

They guard the entrance to Eden after the Fall, and their imagery is associated with God’s throne and glory.
Biblical references: Genesis 3:24; Ezekiel 10:1–22.

Traditionally, they are associated especially with divine knowledge and contemplation.
CHERUBIM → KNOWLEDGE & CONTEMPLATION

THRONES
Thrones are named among the heavenly orders in the New Testament:
“Whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers; all things were created through him and for him.” - Colossians 1:16

Christian tradition associates the Thrones with God’s justice, authority and divine judgment.

THRONES → DIVINE JUSTICE & AUTHORITY

2. THE SECOND HIERARCHY
HEAVENLY GOVERNANCE

DOMINIONS
Dominions are traditionally understood as heavenly beings associated with authority and the ordering of God’s creation.

Their name appears among the heavenly orders mentioned by Saint Paul.
Biblical reference: Colossians 1:16.

DOMINIONS → AUTHORITY & GOVERNANCE

VIRTUES
The Virtues are traditionally associated with divine strength and the manifestation of God’s power.

The terminology can vary among biblical translations, so we should be careful not to claim that Scripture presents “Virtues” as a clearly defined choir in the same way it names angels and archangels.

VIRTUES → DIVINE STRENGTH & MIGHTY WORKS

POWERS
Powers are another order named in the New Testament.

Christian tradition associates them particularly with spiritual authority and resistance against evil.
Biblical reference: Colossians 1:16; Ephesians 6:12.

POWERS → SPIRITUAL WARFARE & RESISTANCE

3. THE THIRD HIERARCHY
GOD’S MESSENGERS AND SERVANTS

PRINCIPALITIES
Principalities are named among the heavenly orders in Scripture.

Traditionally, they are associated with the guidance and protection of peoples, communities and earthly institutions under God’s providence.
Biblical reference: Colossians 1:16.

PRINCIPALITIES → GUIDANCE & PROTECTION

ARCHANGELS
The word “archangel” refers to a chief or prominent angel.

Scripture explicitly mentions an archangel:
“The Lord himself, with a word of command, with the voice of an archangel…” - 1 Thessalonians 4:16

Saint Michael is called “the archangel” in Jude 9, while Gabriel and Raphael are also traditionally honoured as archangels in Catholic tradition.

ARCHANGELS → IMPORTANT MESSAGES & MISSIONS

ANGELS
Finally, we have angels in the ordinary sense of the word: God’s messengers and servants who carry out His will and participate in His providential care for humanity.

The Letter to the Hebrews asks:
“Are they not all ministering spirits sent to serve, for the sake of those who are to inherit salvation?” - Hebrews 1:14

This is also where we find the beautiful Catholic teaching about guardian angels.

ANGELS → MESSENGERS & SERVICE

BUT DOES THE BIBLE ACTUALLY LIST “9 CHOIRS”?
Not in one single passage.
This is an important distinction.

Scripture mentions different heavenly beings and orders, including seraphim, cherubim, angels, archangels, thrones, dominions, principalities and powers.

The complete classification into nine choirs arranged in three hierarchies was developed through Christian theological tradition, especially the influential work traditionally attributed to Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite.

So the nine-choir system is a traditional theological classification, not a list of nine ranks presented together in Scripture.

WHAT DOES THE CHURCH DEFINITELY TEACH?
The existence of angels is not merely a poetic idea.

The Catechism teaches:
“The existence of the spiritual, non-corporeal beings that Sacred Scripture usually calls ‘angels’ is a truth of faith.” - CCC 328

Angels are intelligent, personal spiritual creatures created by God. They glorify Him, serve His purposes and participate in His providential care.

And despite all the different orders and descriptions, the most important fact remains:
They are creatures.
They are not gods.
They do not compete with God.
They exist because God created them and gave them a place in His plan.

NINE CHOIRS. ONE CREATOR.
Whether we contemplate the seraphim before God’s throne, the archangel announcing God’s message or our own guardian angel accompanying us, the focus should never ultimately be on the angels themselves.

The angels point us toward God.
They remind us that heaven is filled with worship, that God’s creation is greater than what our eyes can see, and that the Lord has surrounded His people with spiritual servants who carry out His will.

NINE CHOIRS.
ONE CREATOR.
ALL FOR THE GLORY OF GOD.

Simple prayer

IMPORTANCE OF SIMPLE CATHOLIC PRAYERS
MORNING • NIGHT • BEFORE MEALS • AFTER MEALS
The beautiful thing about Catholic prayer is that it does not have to be complicated.

The Church encourages us to establish rhythms of prayer throughout the day: when we wake, before we sleep, before we eat and after we eat. The Catechism specifically identifies morning and evening prayer and grace before and after meals as daily rhythms that help nourish continual prayer.

Here are simple traditional prayers we can actually use.

1. MORNING PRAYER
BEGIN THE DAY WITH GOD
O Jesus, through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I offer You my prayers, works, joys and sufferings of this day in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world. Amen.

This traditional Morning Offering gives the entire day to God.

Instead of waiting until something goes wrong before we turn to Him, we begin by saying:
“Lord, this day belongs to You.”

It teaches us to see our ordinary activities, joys, difficulties and responsibilities as opportunities to live for God.

2. NIGHT PRAYER
END THE DAY WITH GOD
A simple traditional prayer is:
I adore You, my God, and I love You with all my heart. I thank You for having created me, made me a Christian, and preserved me this day. Forgive me the evil I have done, and if I have done some good, accept it. Take care of me while I sleep and preserve me from all dangers. May Your grace be always with me and with all my loved ones. Amen.

Night prayer gives us an opportunity to thank God, examine our day, ask forgiveness and entrust ourselves to His protection.

We end the day not simply by turning off the lights, but by turning our hearts toward God.

3. PRAYER BEFORE MEALS
RECEIVE WITH GRATITUDE
Bless us, O Lord, and these Thy gifts, which we are about to receive from Thy bounty, through Christ our Lord. Amen.

This simple prayer reminds us that food is not something we should receive without gratitude.

Before eating, we pause and acknowledge:
God is the giver.

It also reminds us that our meals can become small moments of thanksgiving rather than simply another routine activity. This traditional grace is included in Catholic prayer resources published by the USCCB.

4. PRAYER AFTER MEALS
DO NOT FORGET TO GIVE THANKS
We give Thee thanks for all Thy benefits, Almighty God, who live and reign for ever. Amen.

After receiving God’s gifts, we give thanks.

The prayer is short, but the lesson is profound:
Gratitude should not end when the meal begins.

The Church’s tradition includes prayer both before and after meals, helping us remember God not only when we need something, but also when we have received something.

WHY ARE THESE SIMPLE PRAYERS IMPORTANT?
Because they interrupt ordinary life with the memory of God.

Morning prayer says:
“God, I give You this day.”

Night prayer says:
“God, I give You this day that has passed.”

Before meals:
“God, thank You for this gift.”

After meals:
“God, thank You for what You have given me.”

These prayers may take only a few moments, but they gradually form a habit of remembering God throughout the day.

And that is precisely why the Church encourages regular rhythms of prayer.
PRAY WHEN YOU WAKE.
PRAY BEFORE YOU SLEEP.
PRAY BEFORE YOU EAT.
PRAY AFTER YOU EAT.

Simple prayers.
Ordinary moments.
A life increasingly lived in the presence of God.

Receive Holy communion

HAND OR TONGUE? WHAT DOES THE VATICAN ACTUALLY PERMIT?

Imagine two Catholics approaching Holy Communion.

One receives the Host on the tongue.

The other receives it in the hand.

Then someone whispers:

“Only one of those ways is actually allowed by the Vatican.”

But is that true?

What does the Catholic Church actually permit?

1. Receiving on the Tongue Is Always Permitted.
The Church explicitly teaches that every Catholic faithful has the right to receive Holy Communion on the tongue.
The Vatican's Redemptionis Sacramentum states that each member of the faithful always has this right, according to his or her choice.
So receiving on the tongue is not an outdated practice that Catholics are forbidden to use.
It remains fully permitted.

2. Receiving in the Hand Is Also Permitted, Where Authorized.
This is where things become interesting.
The Vatican permits Communion in the hand in places where the local Bishops' Conference has obtained the required approval from the Holy See.
So the correct statement is not:
“The Vatican forbids Communion in the hand.”
Nor is it:
“Every Catholic everywhere has an automatic right to receive in the hand.”
The Church's discipline is more precise.

3. The Two Practices Can Coexist.
This means that in a place where Communion in the hand has been legitimately authorized, one Catholic may receive on the tongue while another receives in the hand.
Neither person should automatically assume that the other is being irreverent.
The Church recognizes both practices under the applicable liturgical norms.
In fact, the Vatican specifically says that Communion should not be denied simply because a Catholic wishes to receive kneeling or standing.

4. What About the Priest Saying, “Hand Only”?
This needs careful handling.
A priest is responsible for celebrating and distributing the Eucharist according to the Church's liturgical law.
But where Communion on the tongue is permitted, the Vatican states that the faithful retain the right to receive in that manner.
Likewise, where Communion in the hand has been legitimately authorized, the sacred Host is to be given to a communicant who chooses that option.
The Church's goal is not to turn the Communion line into an argument over personal preferences.
Reverence and obedience to legitimate liturgical norms matter.

5. If You Receive in the Hand, There Are Rules.
Receiving in the hand does not mean:
“Take the Host and walk away.”
The Vatican gives a very important instruction:
The communicant must consume the Host in the presence of the minister, so that nobody leaves carrying the Eucharistic species in their hand.
The Host should therefore be consumed immediately and reverently.
A person should never put the Host in a pocket, bag or purse.

6. You Should Never Take the Host Yourself.
This is important regardless of whether Communion is received in the hand.
The faithful are not permitted to take the Host by themselves from the sacred vessel.
Nor may they pass the Host from one person to another.
The Eucharist is given by the minister to the communicant.
So receiving in the hand does not mean treating the Eucharist as ordinary food that you simply pick up yourself.

7. The Church's Concern Is Reverence for Christ.
Why does the Church have such detailed rules?
Because Catholics believe that the Eucharist is not ordinary bread.
Christ is truly present in the Eucharist.
Therefore, whether you receive on the tongue or in the hand, the attitude should be the same:
Faith.
Reverence.
Care.
Adoration.
The Vatican has also emphasized the importance of respecting the legitimate freedom of those who prefer to continue receiving on the tongue in places where Communion in the hand has been authorized.

In simple words, hand or tongue, which one does the Vatican permit?
Both can be legitimate, but the rules are slightly different.
Receiving on the tongue is always recognized as a legitimate right of the faithful.
Receiving in the hand is permitted in places where the Bishops' Conference has obtained the required approval from the Holy See.
So Catholics should not condemn someone simply because they receive differently.
If you receive on the tongue, receive reverently.
If you receive in the hand where it is permitted, receive reverently and consume the Host immediately in the presence of the minister.
The real issue is not:
“Hand versus tongue.”
The real issue is:
“Do I recognize Whom I am receiving?”
Because whether the Host rests briefly on your tongue or in your hand,
you are approaching the Eucharistic Christ.

Now you know.

Rosary daily

THE PRAYER THAT MULTIPLIES THE HOLY ROSARY 9 TIMES

The Prayer of Salutation, given on June 20, 1646, to a shepherdess from Bavaria.

This is the story: the shepherdess had promised before an image of the Madonna to recite nine Rosaries a day. In the summer heat, the cattle became restless and she was unable to pray. Then the Virgin appeared to her and taught her this prayer, which was equivalent to nine Rosaries, asking her to teach it to others as well.

As reported by the German priest Joseph Ackermann in his book "Consolation for the Souls in Purgatory" (1793):

PRAYER OF GREETING

(to be recited 3 times after the Rosary and equals 9 Rosaries)

God greets you, O Mary

God greets you, O Mary

God greets you, O Mary

O Mary, I greet you 33,000 times,

as the Archangel Gabriel greeted you.

It is a joy to your heart and to my heart too,

that the Archangel has brought you the greeting of Christ.

Hail, O Mary...

Undoes of knots

MARY UNDOER OF KNOTS EXPLAINED
The Meaning Behind Every Symbol in the Famous Image

“One of the most beloved images of the Blessed Virgin Mary is the devotion known as Mary Undoer of Knots. Around the world, countless Catholics turn to Our Lady under this title, asking her intercession for family problems, broken relationships, addictions, illnesses, financial difficulties, and every ‘knot’ that seems impossible to untangle. Yet many people who venerate this image have never stopped to ask a simple question: What do all the symbols in the painting actually mean?”

At first glance, it appears to be a beautiful painting of Mary holding a ribbon. But a closer look reveals a masterpiece of Catholic theology, Sacred Scripture, and Christian symbolism. Every detail, from the stars above her head to the serpent beneath her feet, has a profound meaning.

It is also important to understand that Catholics do not believe Mary possesses divine power apart from God. Rather, this image reminds us that through her loving intercession, Mary always leads us to Jesus Christ, the only Redeemer, who alone has the power to free us from sin and restore our lives.

1. WHAT IS THE “MARY UNDOER OF KNOTS” DEVOTION?
The title “Mary Undoer of Knots” comes from an ancient Christian reflection comparing Eve’s disobedience with Mary’s obedience.

Around the second century, St. Irenaeus of Lyons wrote that:
“The knot of Eve’s disobedience was untied by Mary’s obedience.”

In other words, where Eve’s disobedience contributed to humanity’s fall, Mary’s faithful “Yes” to God became part of His plan of salvation through Jesus Christ.

Centuries later, this beautiful idea inspired the famous painting that Catholics know today.

2. THE CROWN OF TWELVE STARS
Around Mary’s head are twelve stars.

These recall the vision in Revelation 12:1:
“A woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars.”

The stars symbolize Mary’s queenship as Mother of the King and also represent the People of God.

3. THE HOLY SPIRIT ABOVE MARY
Above Mary appears the Holy Spirit, often depicted as a dove.
This reminds us that every grace Mary receives and every mission she carries out comes from God.

Mary acts entirely under the guidance and power of the Holy Spirit.

She never acts independently of God.

4. THE RIBBON FULL OF KNOTS
The long white ribbon covered with knots is perhaps the most recognizable feature of the image.

The knots symbolize the many difficulties people experience throughout life, including:
* sin,
* broken relationships,
* fear,
* anxiety,
* addictions,
* family problems,
* sickness,
* discouragement,
* and every burden that seems impossible to overcome.

These are the “knots” we entrust to God’s mercy through Mary’s loving intercession.

5. THE UNTIED RIBBON
As the ribbon passes through Mary’s hands, it emerges smooth and untangled.
This does not mean Mary removes our problems by her own power.

Rather, it symbolizes how God, through Mary’s maternal intercession, brings peace, healing, reconciliation, and order where sin and suffering have caused confusion.

Every knot is ultimately untied by the grace of Jesus Christ.

6. THE TWO ANGELS
One angel presents the tangled ribbon.
Another receives the ribbon after it has been untied.

Together they illustrate Mary’s role as a loving intercessor who brings our prayers before God and encourages us to trust in His saving grace.

7. THE SERPENT UNDER MARY’S FEET
Mary stands upon the serpent.
This recalls Genesis 3:15, where God foretells the ultimate victory over Satan.

The image proclaims that through Christ’s saving work, and Mary’s faithful cooperation in God’s plan, the power of sin and evil has been defeated.

The victory belongs to Christ, and Mary shares in it because of her unique role in salvation history.

8. THE CRESCENT MOON
Beneath Mary’s feet is the crescent moon.
This is another symbol associated with Revelation 12.

It expresses Mary’s purity, her heavenly dignity, and her complete dependence upon God’s light.
Just as the moon reflects the light of the sun, Mary reflects the glory of Christ.

9. MARY’S BLUE AND RED GARMENTS
Mary’s clothing is also rich in symbolism.
Her blue mantle traditionally represents heavenly grace, purity, and fidelity.

Her red garment symbolizes love, sacrifice, and her participation in God’s saving plan through her union with Christ.

Together they remind us that Mary’s entire life was devoted to God’s will.

10. TOBIAS AND THE ANGEL RAPHAEL
Many people overlook the small scene near the bottom of the painting.
It depicts Tobias being guided by the Archangel Raphael, taken from the Book of Tobit.

This scene reminds us that God continually guides His people through life’s journey, protecting them and leading them safely according to His providence.

11. WHAT DOES THE CHURCH TEACH?
The Church encourages devotion to Mary Undoer of Knots because it deepens our trust in God.

However, the Church does not teach that:
❌ Mary has divine power apart from God.
❌ Mary forgives sins.
❌ Mary replaces Jesus as our Savior.
❌ The image itself possesses magical powers.

Instead, the Church teaches that:
✅ Jesus Christ alone is our Redeemer.
✅ Mary lovingly intercedes for us as our spiritual Mother.
✅ Every grace comes from God.
✅ Authentic Marian devotion always leads us closer to Christ.

12. WHAT DOES THIS IMAGE TEACH US TODAY?
Life is full of knots.
Some are caused by our own mistakes.
Others come through suffering, misunderstanding, illness, loss, or circumstances beyond our control.

The image of Mary Undoer of Knots reminds us never to lose hope.
No knot is too complicated for God’s grace.
No wound is beyond His healing.
No life is beyond His mercy.

Mary simply brings our needs before her Son, who alone has the power to restore all things.

TODAY, REFLECT
Each of us carries knots that we cannot untangle by ourselves.
Instead of becoming discouraged, we are invited to place them into the hands of Jesus through the loving intercession of His Blessed Mother.

When we contemplate this beautiful image, let us remember that its message is not about Mary’s power apart from God.

Its message is about God’s infinite mercy, Mary’s faithful intercession, and the hope that Christ can bring peace where there is confusion, healing where there is pain, and order where there is disorder.

May every knot in our lives become another opportunity to trust more deeply in God’s providence.

Now we’d love to hear from you!
