Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,
[The Lord speaks.....]
My lambs, hear Me: I would ask
several things of you this day: To hear, to read, to ponder, to pray, to
give of self freely to Me. Are you willing? Then let us
begin.
Child, record here, the verse from
Wisdom.
(Yes, my Lord and my God.)
[Today's First Reading: Wisdom
9:13-18] "For what man knows God's counsel, or who can conceive what the
Lord intends? For the deliberations of mortals are timid, and unsure are
our plans. For the corruptible body burdens the soul and the earthen
shelter weighs down the mind that has many concerns. And scarce do we
guess the things on earth, and what is within our grasp we find with difficulty,
but when things are in heaven, who can search them out? Or who even knew
Your Counsel, except You had given Wisdom and sent Your Holy Spirit from on
high? And thus were the paths of those on earth made straight, and men
learned what was Your Pleasure, and were saved by Wisdom."
[The Lord continues....]
Children, how are you to really know
where you are going, without My Own Intervention in your lives? You grope
in the darkness, when I am the Light. To exclude Me from your path is to
assure your own being lost. What man has been created without My Finger
upon the moment? What cell has been built without the life I have placed
within it? See? If you look to your OWN end results you shall not
see My Presence among you!
Now, in My Gospel I speak to you of
your willingness to put your lives in proper order. A True Life in Me is
one of constant preparation and one of constant giving of self. Some of
you would leap like race horses to the finish line.....Ah!.....But the horse was
once a colt and without his peaceful moments of growth in the pasture, he would
never have properly matured. .....Do you know what I am saying to you,
little ones?
Have I not said to live in life in a
state of preparation? All too often your focus throws forward to the
finish line which you see perhaps, as a grand finale, a fireworks display.
It will be for you what you have allowed it to become now. You must live
your life in Me now, to be in Me then.
I have asked you to come to know, to
Love, to serve Me. For each of you, your time and method of knowing
varies. Each time of knowing in Me serves the purpose of the whole of how
you are to yourself.....to Me.....to those around you.....Always.....the Law of
Love in Motion. See? .....To Love, to Love, to Love by coming to
know Me, and along the way to serve.
How to serve. How to
serve? According to My Will. What is My Will? Well
then.....spend some time in coming to know. I will not leave you in the
darkness. I am Light in the desert. You may spend some arid days in
search of the Oasis.....but see.....you are on a journey in Me. And all of
what you endure in life can be the foundation of your tomorrow where you shall
know more, Love more, serve more. I say: be willing to leave behind
the ones you Love, but not to be ignoring them......but to be REJOICING with
them for where you now are in your service in Me!
See? For their
service is to see you where you are in Me. And yours is to serve them from
where you are now in Me.
Marrieds leave mother and father for
the new union in Me, to give birth to new life in Me.....all upon the genealogy
of who they are.....the very mothers and fathers and sisters and brothers who
are all a part of this new ongoing act of creation in Me. Singles serve
from their place of freedom in Me and their own life giving force to the
communities in which they are. My religious, My consecrated, My ordained
serve the whole by their bowing before each of you aside of Me, by leaving the
depths of the world for their own True Life in Me.
So.....how are you called? What
is My Will? Where are you called? Where are you in Me? What
are you willing to give for the sake of the whole, for the kingdom, for
Me? Are you willing to bow in submission to My Will. Are you willing
to graze in the pasture or wander in the desert in search of true maturity in
Me? Would you keep your vision clear in Me? .....That I am God and
you are not? Would you play at My Feet as Wisdom does, in Joyful Knowledge
that all and everything is Mine.....in My Time.....in My Way.....if you are at
least, willing? Grow in Trust that I, indeed, know the way. And
surely I will accept you and we will embrace. If you will only be My
child. Lay all things at My Feet. Pray, little ones, for My
Vision to open your eyes. That you might see what you need to
see.....no more, no less. For your knowing, for your Loving, for your
serving.....Me.
I Love you, lambs.
Amen. +
