Baptism of the Lord
Sunday, January 9, 2000

Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,

[While in prayer, I am encouraged by our Blessed Lady to let my heart praise God.....]

(Glory and Praise be to You, O Heavenly King!  O Father Almighty!  Who in Perfect Wisdom has sent Your Only Begotten Son into the world, that we may come to know You, O Father, through Him, Your Son, our Lord, our Saviour.....Jesus!  Jesus!  Jesus!  .....Glory and Praise be to You, O Jesus, Who is the Eternal, Living Word!  Thank You, O Love, for coming, for being, for teaching us.  O Sweet Lord.....Thank You for Your Presence in Your Eucharist, that we may be kissed by You, O God, in Your Holy Sacrament.  And thank You, O Most Holy, Loving Spirit for entering us in Baptism.  That we may become new in You.  Increase in us, O Spirit, a deep and longing desire to use Your Every Gift to us.  That this world might be "torn open" [ref. Mk. 1:10] by Your Presence in us, O Lord.  In Love.  In Gentleness. In Humility.  In Jesus.  In the Father.  In You, O Heavenly Spirit.  Amen.  Glory and Praise be to God.  Amen.  Alleluia.  Maranatha.  Come, Lord Jesus.  Amen.)

[Jesus speaks.....]
Sweet thing, hear Me speak.....to you.....to all who would listen.

The Spirit of God is upon Me.  For I am your Saviour.  I am your Lord.  I am your God.  There is richness in Me...Lamb of God.  I am He Who comes to divide hearts.....divide because so many will not truly listen to Me and live My Word.  The division is yours, from Me.....you who constantly refuse My Truth.  Do not exempt yourself, ever, lambs, from examining your conscience on this.   Stay in True Focus on Me.  My Way.  Not your way.  Yes, yes, yes.....I am about Unity, but Unity of every heart to Me cannot occur without your own sincere "yes."  To say "yes" to God is to let go, fully, of all around you.....Because you Trust in Me Whom you do not see,  in Me Whom you know.....recognize as your Lord and Master.  But we must move beyond words pursed upon your lips to words lived in your hearts, little ones.

My lambs.....you read My Word.  Now, LIVE My Word.  You think you live My Word......live It more.....for in all too many cases, you are far too easy on yourselves.  You question, you doubt so much around you.....well.....FLING yourself into Me.  I WILL make you whole, but only as you allow Me, only as you choose to heed My Word.

I was baptized by John.  Why?  ....For YOU, little ones.  That My Public Mission would start.....for YOU!  I am Spotless, you are sinful.  I came for YOU.  I am Perfect.  You are being perfected.  I came for YOU!  The Heavens have parted themselves for you.  The Spirit of the Lord has descended into your midst.  The Father has blessed you.  Through Me.  Through Me, you are lifted to the Father.  Through Me, the Spirit of God dwells in you.  Through Me, Mary is YOUR Mother, as well.  Through Me.  Through Me.  Through Me.  Through you, now, bowing in reverent belief in all I have come to you for.

Yet, I did not remain standing in the baptismal pool.  I went off to be with My Father.  To be in Spirit.  In the desert of temptation.  In the place of greater purification of self.  That all flesh would be tamed.  That in every temptation you would have Hope.  In Me.  In Me.  In Me.

Be not so impressed with one another, lambs.  DO be impressed with Me.....Upon your hearts, in your mind, in your speech, in your whole being.  DO see Me in one another.  So therefore, BE in Me, that others might find Me there.....in you.  If you are to become perfected, then you must come to live as though it truly IS about ME!  For God has sent ME into the world for YOU.  That YOU would meet ME in every moment given you by the Father.  That your purity would grow in ME!  That your life would become True Life in Me.

Let My Purpose become recognizable in you.  Let your heart be parted in Me.  Be purified in My Spirit.  That even through your cross, you would be lifted to the Father.  That unity.....yes, unity, would be achieved.  By you in Me and I in you.

It is all about ME.....and YOU.  Amen.

So be it, child.  Confirmed with My Blessing.  Sign Me.....Jesus, the Lord.  Amen.    †
