November 11, 2026. Having Me by your side does not mean that the storms of life will instantly vanish. Instead, I will grant you inner strength and a supernatural peace of soul, enabling you to stand firm...

 

Dear Jesus,

The world is filled with so much suffering. 

In just the last three months, I have lost three close friends. Looking around at the families of those I know, it is not uncommon to see someone who has lost a spouse—a wife or a husband. Those who depart leave behind profound sorrow and a deep sense of emptiness for those who remain. 

Everywhere I turn, I see the shadows of suffering, illness, and separation. 

My dear child,

I created this world to be something truly beautiful—a Paradise, an Eden overflowing with happiness. Yet, the sins and selfishness of humanity have shattered that serene tranquility. 

People have turned away from My teachings—failing to live in love, forgiveness, and service to one another—the world has become rife with war, chaos, injustice, and suffering.

As for illness and death, they are simply part of the natural cycle of human existence: birth, aging, sickness, and death. 

In the frantic pace of life, some people have forgotten Me. They believe they are strong enough to face the hardships and trials of this life entirely on their own. But, tell Me, child: who could walk a path fraught with obstacles, wind, rain, and storms without longing for a companion—someone to share in the joys and sorrows, and to offer support in weathering the tempest?

There are even those who have cast Me out of their lives altogether. Look at how many gifted artists—possessing vast fortunes and celebrated by the world—have found their souls so profoundly empty that they chose to end their own lives. Neither wealth nor fame can ever fill the void of loneliness within the human heart.

Remember, I am not a God who stands apart from your suffering. I took on the human condition; I wept at the death of my dear friend Lazarus; I endured betrayal, loneliness, and a painful death upon the cross. I understand every single tear you shed when you lose a loved one.

Having Me by your side does not mean that the storms of life will instantly vanish. Instead, I will grant you inner strength and a supernatural peace of soul, enabling you to stand firm amidst the tempest.

I will transform your suffering into prayers that are pleasing to the Father, and I will open before you the hope of the Resurrection: death is not the end, but rather the beginning of an eternal reunion in our Heavenly home.

Return to Me! Call upon Me to walk with you—each day, each hour, each minute.

Even if your outward circumstances remain unchanged, you will no longer be consumed by anxiety or fear. We shall bear these burdens together and navigate every impasse, for you have an all-powerful and perfectly good Companion by your side.

"Learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart." (Matthew 11:29)

Only when you have learned these two virtues will you truly know how to love, to be forbearing, and to foster peace among one another here on this earth. 

"Come to Me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest." — Matthew 11:28

O, Heavenly Father,

Grant that I know You, and know myself. Know You, to listen to Your Word and put it into practice in my daily life. Know myself, to transform my path into Yours of righteousness—finding Heaven within my heart, to dwell with You always. 

May all who read this meditation come to understand Your love and return to You as Your children.

Please grant peace to everyone who reads this meditation. AMEN.
