Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,
Child, I would address the nations thusly: Blessed be the Lord, God of
Hosts. I praise My Own Glory. Let the Alleluias ring out now in Praise
of My Name. For I alone am the Holy One. And every nation shall bow
before Me. Because of My Glory. Yet, O, how I long that the knees
would bend because of Pure Love for Me. Because all else would be put
aside for Me. This is a Word, child, which I would have engraved on
every heart: OPEN TO ME.
O! But I wait. I wait. With Patience. And Endurance. Virtues which
are of Me. Come, little ones, I teach you even now. Yes? For not all
who see Me believe. They look with eyes but do not yet fully accept Me
with open hearts. They remain closed because of fear: no fear should
exist in My Presence. It is a burden in your heart which should be
lifted to Me. No burdens are necessary in Me. I have said this. Yet,
I see you continuing to walk about with heavy heart. And heavy mind.
Daughters and sons, hear Me: I am not impressed with the weight of your
burden. For I do not choose that it be there. I choose to lift it from
you. So, a mark of not living in the Will of God is the measure of your
burden, or its existence at all. Now, this is not to say that as you
lift the burden to Me that all would be removed from you. No.
Certainly not. The cross remains, but it is no longer heavy. Because
the weight of it is now upon My Shoulders. See the dents upon My Back?
See how nicely your cross will fit there. It is where I have carried
the weight of the world. Your sin. Now expiated. So now, I come to
assist you in the labors you endure. The crosses you endure. The fears
you endure. For they are all your burden. Not to be borne alone. Not
according to My Own Will.
So I say, come again and follow Me. Hear My Word. (Lord?)
Let us establish, child, that I am Who Am. Record the Word designated
by My Church this day. The first reading. (Jesus, Acts 3:11-26.)
And child, now My Psalm. For I would be proclaimed in My Just assembly.
(Jesus, Psalm 98:2,5-9.)
Daughter, write these words: I am Scripture. I am the Word of God.
There is Life in the Word of God. It is Me. And you doubt Me? Then
read My Word. My proclaimed Gospel. Daughter, record it. (Jesus, Luke
24:35-48.)
Children of the world, hear Me: My Wounds still ache. By your doubt.
My Heart still bleeds. By you refusal to hear Me with your hearts. O!
How for some, even seeing is not believing. I give you My Spirit that I
Who Am the Word might become alive in your hearts. Here in Me there is
only Life. Truth. Love. Peace. Growth. Depth of Understanding. You
cannot enter Me with the weights and burdens of this world. Lift them
to Me. That you might enter My Glory. I stand before you Risen. Rise
in Me. Amen. In Love and in Peace and in Joy. I give you My Blessing.
Amen. Children, I Who Am Jesus, love you. Amen. +
(And today, I am encouraged by Saint Margaret Mary: "Bury all your misery in the
mercy of the loving Heart of Jesus and think of nothing but of pleasing Him by forgetting
self. Henceforth, let Him do all that He wills in you, with you and for you."
