Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,

[Jesus speaks.....]
A Message of Hope, a Message of Peace, a Message of Love!  O children.....you have survived!  Fear would have ruled, but you have survived.  Survived.....survived.....as people floating upon the sea amid a giant ship's sinking.  O lambs!  Are My Words strange to you?!?  But think.....where has your focus been placed?  You are relieved because you have survived the great threat of destruction?  I ask you, lambs, where was the threat?  From human error by those things which humanity has set forth in error.....error which you have corrected by the use of the intellect, which I have gifted to you.  But be not lulled by your own accomplishment.  Check your focus.  Let it not rest upon yourself, for if you do, you shall sink; you shall not even barely survive.  O humanity!  How long shall you be happy with treading the water in life as you would have it?  How often will you settle for a moment of revelry and a symbol of weak and insincere peace?  Why do you pause with your weapons, yet take them up again?  Why do you agree to peace with a pen, yet plot to undo all which appears to be sound on the surface?

O!  You would have Me congratulate you?  To "pat you on the back" for a job well done, when all that you do lacks the vigor of Truth?  I tell you a way to focus on Me:  Follow My Peter of Rome.....yes.....John Paul II.  For throughout all of the preparation for YOUR Y2K, HE has led the Church into Jubilee!  Where do you think HIS focus lies?  Upon Whom does HE look?  To Whom is HE listening?  O children, lambs, I have given you a Great Gift in My Peter of Rome.  Upon him does My Spirit rest and through him does My Spirit lead My Church.  Stay in focus with him, for then you are in focus upon Me.  Prepare your HEARTS, little ones!  Prepare your HEARTS!

An Era of Peace.....would you like that?  An Era of Love.....would that be Grand?  Well, My lambs, this can only be achieved by your willingness to repent, to be changed, by YOUR willingness to change, that I would change you by your will.  At this moment, you do not see clearly, My Peace.  You settle for less because you do not truly know Peace.....MY Peace.  You do not know lasting Hope and Trust because your focus is not in the Right Place.  You cannot truly know Love, because you have yet to truly open your hearts TO Love!  I am Gracing you generously, but you do not truly recognize My Grace.  Nothing is wasted because all Goodness returns to Me.....but so much Good IS passing you by.  There is a need for Great Purification in every heart.

.....Now I see your minds rushing off once again.....for I have said "Great Purification."  Yes.....this is a fact.  But I give you all you need to prepare.  I have given it for these 2000 years .  I have given it before.  I am Hope.  I am He.  I am He for Whom the Generations have waited.  I AM The Prince of Peace Who has come among you.  I have come that all hearts would be purified.....saved.....in Me.  But I ask you:  Where are  you in confession to Me?  Where do YOU lay YOUR heart down for MY Sake?  Because if you are truly focusing upon Me, if you are truly open to Me, then we are meeting at My Cross, where all things are lifted to My Father, where you are saved by My Sacrifice.

Little lambs, I see you passing too quickly to actually imbibe all of My Word.  You MUST come to LIVE My Word, that you would come to better know Me, lambs.  .....My Purifying Fire, My Light of Truth SHALL pierce every heart.  But why would you wait for it as you did the fear of Y2K or the celebration of the Millennium?   Why do you not seek My priest NOW, through whom I ordain the Ministry of Forgiveness.....My Own?  Why do you not RUSH in a revelry of soul to confess your sins?  To receive absolution.  Not from a man, but from ME through My priest, by My Sacrament of Penance, Reconciliation, Grace?  Why are you not rushing HERE?  Why are you not waiting patiently, all day, to meet Me HERE?  Why are you not celebrating, worldwide, My Light of Truth through My Cleansing Sacrament?  For until you do, you shall not truly be focusing on all I say.  And your heart will merely be surviving.....as if afloat.....on a dark sea.....around your ship which has sunk.

I declare a Day of Peace:  Peace of heart.  For until there is MY Peace in every heart, there shall be NO Peace!

Lambs.....It is all about heart!  Have I not preached this time and time again?  Time.....time.....time.  You are so concerned about time?  Well.....I SHALL come, like a thief in the night.  Is your heart prepared?  Will you greet Me with the True Light in your soul?  Or will your heart be running empty of all the fullness which is so easily yours?  Are you satisfied to follow Me quietly, as does My Mother?  Or must your journey be filled with loud blasts of excitement which so quickly fill the air with smoke, once again destroying the clarity of your vision?

O lambs.....I do not come to destroy your celebration; but I DO call you to celebrate properly.....from your heart, in Me.  For as long as your heart is IN the world and OF the world, with more faith in one another, aside of Me, you shall fail and fail and fail once again.

O lambs!  Stop treading water in the blackened sea of sin!  See!  My ship, My Church!  She is being steered clearly and in Truth by My son, John Paul II.  He is a vessel of My Spirit.  Come and be absolved of sin through My Church!  There is room for ALL mankind in My Church!  Relinquish ALL things for My Sake.....for I have already laid down MY Life for each and every one of you.  What blocks you?  Faith?  O!  No!.....For True Faith shall lead you in Truth to My Will.  If you are being called, yet you take the road away from Me or aside of Me, then you are not hearing clearly because of pride.  Life IS a journey and it ALWAYS leads to Me.  But it is for YOU to follow My Lead!  Do you not Trust Me, lambs?!?

A strange occurrence.....This Message!  You would have congratulations, not challenge!  You would have complacency, not change.  You would have darkness of soul rather than My Piercing Light.  You would prepare for the worst, when the Best, the Perfect, is already in your midst.  You would put more stock in your preparation for yourself than in My Loving Protection and care of you.....O little bird of the air!  .....Have you truly, ever fully lived My Word?  Judas thought he knew better how to handle the responsibility I had given to him.  Rather than to follow openly, he chose to follow stealthily.  All which is in the darkness shall come into the light, as Judas did finally see.  But his focus was not upon Me, Prince of Peace, God of Hope and of Love.  Judas only saw despair and with it, he took his life.  He reserved himself from Me.....do you?

Well.....here I am, once again, standing before you with wide opened arms!  Come and be one in Me as I am in you.  Let Peace rule because you let your pride bow!  Follow Me in Humility.....Truth.....that *I* am God and YOU are not!  I stand before you, lambs.  My Arms are extended.  My Wounded Hands would hold you.  My Pierced and Wounded Side would cleanse you in My Blood.....the Water from My Side.  It is called Mercy.....this Act of Kindness flowing from My Heart.  Even as you celebrate, receive My Mercy.  HOPE for My Mercy.   SEEK My Mercy.  RECEIVE My Mercy.  Now.  Before the Time of Tribulation.

Lambs, let your hearts become storehouses of My Grace.  Be prepared in your hearts.

Daughter, write this Word.....

(Yes, Lord.)

Y2K is Mine.  The Year 2000 is MY Celebration!  MY Jubilee Year.  And it shall be celebrated for Me, by Me, in Me.  But there shall be NO celebration if your heart is unclean.  Come, be full of Grace, as is My Mother.  She always was.  You, now, can be.  Be Reconciled in spirit through My Church, by My Grace.  There is no other way to a full, True Life in Me, but by My Cross.  By My Sacrifice, by My Blood, by My Body, by YOUR willingly cleansed heart!  THIS is what *I* celebrate:  The return of one repentant heart!  Ah, yes!  .....The prodigal son.  Is it you?  Will you let it be?  In Me?  Now and forever?  Beyond a millennium.  Beyond two millenniums.  For ETERNITY.  In Me!  Now and FOREVER.....clean of heart, in Me.  Amen.  I do NOT relinquish in My Pursuit of you!  I am your Good Shepherd.  Come to Me in the hands of My Mother.  Enter My Spirit.  Feel My Loving Touch.  See Me lift you to My Father!  Feel the Joy of sinlessness!  In Me.  Forever and ever.....all Eternity.....in My Grace.  Now, through My Church.  Amen.

A Message of Peace, of Hope, of Love.  Not to be lost.  To be saved.  To be lived.  Now and forever.  Amen.     †

(My Lord!  I bow before Your Glory!  Change my heart, O Lord!  Make it ever true.  Change my heart, O Lord!  Make me be like You!  For You are the Potter!  I am the clay.  Melt me and mold me.  This is what I pray!  .....By Your Grace!  By Your Love!  By Your Desire to hold dust in Your Hand and to Breathe into it Your Life and to Love it.....to Love me.  Thank You, O Lord!  God be praised!  Amen.  Alleluia!  Maranatha!  Come, Lord Jesus!)
