Lambs, take holy advantage of this time called Lent. DO lend your hearts to Me.....perhaps you will grow to let Me keep them?

I would instruct you thus, My lambs.....Hear now, O House of Israel! Hear now, O House New Jerusalem! I exclude no one from My Cleansing Hand! I give all an opportunity to turn from worldly ways to the Way of the Lord. You may all be in a different time and in a different space, but you each have the Opportunity to be in Me. See? I reserve Myself from no one. If you are in a desert, you must examine why you are there. For, My Lambs, many deserts are caused by self infliction. See? I have My Hand of Mercy extended to you. But all too often, it is YOU who has your hand up, refusing the Very Grace which I give so freely to you. If you continue along YOUR way, you shall continue to hunger and thirst for that which you cannot attain on your own. For *I* am the Giver of Grace. It is for YOU to be a grateful recipient.

How and when will you let Me fill your desert with fine fruit? How and when will you allow yourself, yourselves to advantage your hearts of This Oasis, Who I am. Perhaps your time in your desert will allow you to see where you have brought yourself. Perhaps you will see the arid wasteland you have become! Perhaps..... I wait for YOUR will, My lambs.

Willingness to be cleansed is the start. Little ones, hear Me. I ask you to be willing to admit that your distance from Me is a flaw on YOUR part.....not Mine.....for *I* am Perfection! Let Me tell you this: the outward sign of disunity in community could be an inward sign of your own disunity [away] from Me.

Lambs, take holy advantage of this time called Lent. DO lend your hearts to Me.....perhaps you will grow to let Me keep them. If there is to be a New Springtime, it must occur by the New Growth springing forth from hearts resolved in Me. Let all which separates us die, My lambs. Resolve your difficulties for they burden you.....they scar your community. I am calling you to a New Springtime.....one of Great Unity: of each heart unto Me, of each heart through those hearts around it, in the company of one another, into Me.

You pray. You expect Me to hear, you expect Me to answer. I pray. I expect you to hear. May you live in YOUR answer.....That they all be one.....Let True Unity start with you.....into Me.....I in you.....we.....us. Let the Breath of Springtime be a Sigh of Unity.....a Breath of Love. From Me, through the Spirit, through you, to the Father! Ah! THEN the greenness of New Life! THEN the Glory of God-given witness! Hope springs eternal. May Hope spring forth in YOU, My lambs! May Reality become visible by how you Love one another, through the cleansing of hearts, through the cleansing of heart.....your own. In Me. I in you. We. Us. One. Amen. +

“Receive not Grace in vain; for it is as terrible to fall into the Hands of a Living God, as it is sweet to cast oneself at present, into the Arms of a God dying for Love of us.” [“Thoughts & Sayings of St. Margaret Mary” for February 28]
