Election 2020
Gosh… im on shaky ground here, as I’ve never wanted to put my prayer time or a Word from the Lord in writing… except in my private prayer journal. Sure, I’ve shared in person with friends and people i pray with and I have shared with you some of the images that the Holy Spirit has shown me when i paint the Saints, but even that is hard… and never in writing. If i could share this anonymously, i would, and i thought about saying… “got this from a friend” even my preference now would be to keep this tucked away, but, we have come to a place and a time when we must be courageous in any way that the Lord would call us. For me, as silly as it sounds here when i write it, it’s sharing these private encounters with the Lord. For who am i, that the Lord would make Himself known to me… to any of us? And yet He does.
God is love. And He loves us each uniquely, with a love that can not be duplicated for another. As His daughter, i want to receive His love so that i can offer it to others.
In sharing the below message, my only desire is to offer the Father’s hope, comfort and peace.

For weeks, collectively the Holy Spirit has been moving in His people about a “VICTORY”. Many friends and prayer warriors have talked about this, saying “I sense a VICTORY” and I felt it too. In fact, i woke up each morning, as the days drew closer to the election with a victory song in my heart… “I’m gonna see a victory. For the battle belongs to You Lord” . (This song is embedded below) Last week, the Lord spoke to my heart and said, “ I finish what I start” and I applied that Word to this victory and believed that it meant the re-election of Trump, which i still hope for very much. I am a Catholic, i am obligated by my beliefs to vote for those who will uphold the sanctity of life and to protect the sacraments, like marriage.
Today, the day after the election, we now are seeing that this may draw out for days, weeks, and even months… I have started to wonder if this victory is much different than what I assumed, and so i asked myself just what would the ultimate victory be and what would it mean to win the war? The answer for us all is to cooperate with God’s grace so that we can overcome the evils of this world and be with God in heaven for eternity.
While in prayer yesterday, I had a strong wave of love come over me, and the Father spoke to my heart about what a great privilege it is to be united with Him in this particular time of salvation history, that He has chosen each and every soul alive today to atone for the sins of mankind and usher in the triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, who will crush the head of satan.
I recalled this scripture which was the Sept. 20, 2020 gospel reading:
Gospel
“The kingdom of heaven is like a landowner
who went out at dawn to hire laborers for his vineyard.
After agreeing with them for the usual daily wage,
he sent them into his vineyard.
Going out about nine o’clock,
the landowner saw others standing idle in the marketplace,
and he said to them, ‘You too go into my vineyard,
and I will give you what is just.’
So they went off.
And he went out again around noon,
and around three o’clock, and did likewise.
Going out about five o’clock,
the landowner found others standing around, and said to them,
‘Why do you stand here idle all day?’
They answered, ‘Because no one has hired us.’
He said to them, ‘You too go into my vineyard.’
When it was evening the owner of the vineyard said to his foreman,
‘Summon the laborers and give them their pay,
beginning with the last and ending with the first.’
When those who had started about five o’clock came,
each received the usual daily wage.
So when the first came, they thought that they would receive more,
but each of them also got the usual wage.
And on receiving it they grumbled against the landowner, saying,
‘These last ones worked only one hour,
and you have made them equal to us,
who bore the day’s burden and the heat.’
He said to one of them in reply,
‘My friend, I am not cheating you.
Did you not agree with me for the usual daily wage?
Take what is yours and go.
What if I wish to give this last one the same as you?
Or am I not free to do as I wish with my own money?
Are you envious because I am generous?’
Thus, the last will be first, and the first will be last.”
My priest that Sunday preached about how many of us would be inclined to groin or complain about the treatment of the landowner, who of course is God, and how it wasn’t fair that the people showing up late receive the same payment. Then Father said, in all of salvation history, WE ARE THOSE PEOPLE, the last to the vineyard. We come late and yet, because of God’s great love and generosity, we receive the same payment. I thought about how the blood of the early martyrs have come down throughout the ages to continue to sanctify us, and how their perseverance has bestowed such incredible grace, and many miracles. And here we are, in this fine hour, late to the party, and God says… “So the last (that’s us) will be first, and the first (the saints) will be last.”
If the church is truly in the time of the crucifixion, and i believe we are, then we are all on the cross. Would now be the time to pull us down? Would God pull us away from our mission? Would we be able to accomplish our mission of atonement and bringing about the Triumph of Our Lady? The mission of Christ Jesus on the cross… the Father’s Beloved Son, was to atone for sin and give the world Our Lady. This is the mission of the Saints in heaven. This is our mission today.
There will be terrifying times in the last days. People will be self-centered and lovers of money, proud, haughty, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, irreligious, callous, implacable, slanderous, licentious, brutal, hating what is good, traitors, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God (2 Tim 3:1-4) Oh how we have reached so far beyond this… i don’t have to tell you this. I can’t stand to look at it, yet just today i learned that there are symbols for pedophiles, showing what gender and age child they want to rape.
We must not turn away. We must not withhold our FIATS any longer to the things that the Lord is calling us to. We must stare down our demons, stand in the minority of truth and call persecution and suffer a gift, because it is a gift. This is the sifting and it will hurt. God is making us great saints, and He does not pull us down from our crosses.
Yesterday, my husband said… “just think, if we get 4 more years with Trump, he can hold back communism and the New World Order.” It caused me to pause because I knew there was no more holding back… the time has come for the crucifixion… the purification, the beautiful chastisement, which is our share of the vineyard. Though late, receiving the same reward.
When I woke up the morning, I believed 100% that Trump would be re-elected, that the victory had come. think with me for a second, about when Jesus was on the cross, and satan thought he had won. Was Jesus the hunted or the hunter in that moment? Was He a fish on the line? Well, so satan thought until God snatched the victory from his grip and satan realized he had lost the victory he had int he Garden. God had sent His beloved and He made a way for us again . I remember now the wave of love that washed over me yesterday, and I do believe that God finishes what He starts, that he makes a way for us, parts the seas and always wins!
This is the kind of Father we have, and He has chosen us to help Him save souls, because those who have been rescued, rescue others. so that Our Lady can be true Mother to all mankind, crush the head and bring about a new springtime.
United, let’s follow Our Lord Jesus, and all the saints after Him, to the will of our Father, so we can be with Him in Heaven. That is the ultimate victory.

Nov. 4, 2020 let us meditate on today’s readings:
Reading 1
My beloved, obedient as you have always been,
not only when I am present but all the more now when I am absent,
work out your salvation with fear and trembling.
For God is the one who, for his good purpose,
works in you both to desire and to work.
Do everything without grumbling or questioning,
that you may be blameless and innocent,
children of God without blemish
in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation,
among whom you shine like lights in the world,
as you hold on to the word of life,
so that my boast for the day of Christ may be
that I did not run in vain or labor in vain.
But, even if I am poured out as a libation
upon the sacrificial service of your faith,
I rejoice and share my joy with all of you.
In the same way you also should rejoice and share your joy with me.
Responsorial Psalm
- (1a) The Lord is my light and my salvation.
The LORD is my light and my salvation;
whom should I fear?
The LORD is my life’s refuge;
of whom should I be afraid?
R. The Lord is my light and my salvation.
One thing I ask of the LORD;
this I seek:
To dwell in the house of the LORD
all the days of my life,
That I may gaze on the loveliness of the LORD
and contemplate his temple.
R. The Lord is my light and my salvation.
I believe that I shall see the bounty of the LORD
in the land of the living.
Wait for the LORD with courage;
be stouthearted, and wait for the LORD.
R. The Lord is my light and my salvation.
Alleluia
- Alleluia, alleluia.
If you are insulted for the name of Christ, blessed are you,
for the Spirit of God rests upon you.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
Gospel
Great crowds were traveling with Jesus,
and he turned and addressed them,
“If anyone comes to me without hating his father and mother,
wife and children, brothers and sisters,
and even his own life,
he cannot be my disciple.
Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after me
cannot be my disciple.
Which of you wishing to construct a tower
does not first sit down and calculate the cost
to see if there is enough for its completion?
Otherwise, after laying the foundation
and finding himself unable to finish the work
the onlookers should laugh at him and say,
‘This one began to build but did not have the resources to finish.’
Or what king marching into battle would not first sit down
and decide whether with ten thousand troops
he can successfully oppose another king
advancing upon him with twenty thousand troops?
But if not, while he is still far away,
he will send a delegation to ask for peace terms.
In the same way,
everyone of you who does not renounce all his possessions
cannot be my disciple.”
Here’s that victory song
