Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,

[Jesus speaks.....]
Mockery and scorn are the outpourings of hearts who do not see Me clearly.  Where am I in your midst today?  How do YOU mock Me and scorn Me?  Against whom do you levy injustice?  So much ill will can be levied by a tongue!  See?  Part of My scourging was done by lips who could not truly proclaim who I am, because their hearts could not truly see My Presence among them.

Ears do not hear clearly.  They hear My Words but interpret their own thoughts.  All too often, I speak, and those who hear Me are as granite rocks.  No ears.  No heart.  No place, even a crack for Me to enter.  If you do not truly know Me, you will not see Me in one another.  You seek the Glory and Praise of My Company.   Then come, bow down with Me in Meekness and Humility.  Serve in Silence.  Pray only My Name.  Do not grumble in your service to one another.  If you are to truly serve one another, it is with open heart.  I tell you this:  all too often your open heart is shut firmly by your closed mind!  Your thoughts stifle your heart.  Your lips poison your service in Me.  What you do to the least, you do to Me.

You seek Glory?  Humility is Glory.  You seek Praise?  Service is praise.  You seek Charity.  Charity is silence and pure Love of neighbor.  You seek purity of heart?  Well then, do not stifle, do not poison that which you seek.  You vie for position?  Well then, let it be only in Me.  For if you are not in Me, you are nowhere.  Self has been made to be given freely in Love, in service to all around you.   For there I am in your midst.

Do not be a plotter of evil against Me.  Do not exempt yourself from this Thought.  For if you plot, think ill will against another, you do it to Me.  If your opinion of another is ajar.....aside of Truth, you are aside of Me.  What you say about another, you say about Me.

Now I ask you again:  Do you plot against Me?  Think before you speak.

O yes.  You have.  And so I die.  To save you from your sin.  That is My Service to you.  In Silence.  In Love.  Amen.    †
