Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,

[Blessed Mother speaks.....]
Adoration of my Son is the topic of this Message.

(Yes, my Lady My Queen My Mother by His Grace.)

[Jesus speaks.....]
To bow before another human being should be done only because of the recognition of My Authority within the one before whom you bow.  Leadership is to be respected because valid, true Leadership is My Gift to you!

Yes.....there is this bow before MY Greatness among you, even now.

It is true.....pagans, the Magi, interested in a star, have found Me.  And to them, who did not yet hear My Message, came the vision beyond a star:  they witnessed ME!  And they bowed and reverenced Me with gifts borne first in their hearts.  For they recognized My Greatness, though I lay before them small and meek.  Now I ask you, children, about YOUR bows before Me.  Where are they?  In many cases, you proclaim Faith, yet YOU do not show it forth as did the Magi!  Where is YOUR reverence of Me?  Where is YOUR bow.  Where are YOUR gifts from YOUR heart.  Pagans came to recognize My Authority, yet you.....you.....what is it that YOU see?  WHO is it that YOU seek?  Am I not sufficient for you?   Moses knelt, barefoot before Me.  The Magi fell prostrate.  What of you?  Yet.....do you even follow any desire to adore Me?  To visit with Me?  To reverence Me?  WHERE is your FAITH, little ones?  When do you begin to live out your Faith, for Faith is the Gift *I* have given to YOU, that YOU might come to homage ME!

Think, for a moment, of the respect you give to one another:  to worldly leaders, sports heroes.....stars, as YOU make them.  Think of your place in society and the respect you demand or crave.  Think, that when you speak, you hope not to be ignored.  YOU seek a form of recognition.....so too, then.....I.

If you truly lived all you say you believe, YOU would seek Me.  YOU would bring to Me the gift of yourself!  YOU would treat Me with the Respect due the King of Kings.  You would bow your intelligence before Me and join the meekness of shepherds, the recognized authority of kings, the Grandeur of My Angels.  YOU would come to LIVE in the scene of My Nativity.  And FINALLY I would be reborn in your soul!

.....Your heart.  See?  It is about your heart.  Where are you in Me?  Do you live in any recognition that I am your Lord and that I have chosen to take up a residency in your baptized heart?

The star, little ones, should be shining forth from within you.  Now, the Star is Me!  And you would bear Me in yourself for yourself and for all those around you.  Let YOU come to be seen, noticed, because of ME in YOU!  Let My Brilliance pour forth from within you because you live in a life of bowed reverence, even in your heart, before Me.

.....Yet, the sign, the symbol is important.  And so, I ask you to reverence Me.  Acknowledge Me.  By your pause in My Presence.  That all the world should stop, pause, reverence Me.  Most especially in My Eucharist.  For there, I am with you for all time.  If you had found Me in My Manger, you think, you would have bowed and worshipped in Awe and Wonder......that you would have sung My Praise with the Angels.....Well.....here I am.  Now.  Before you  In My Eucharist.  At My Mass.  In My Tabernacle.  And where, O children, are you?

[Blessed Mother speaks.....]
That is all.  My Son has spoken.  Come, let us worship our King.  Amen.    †
