Title: "The offense of every heart who sits before Me is the mileage, the distance, between us."

Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,

Daughter, will you record that which I say? (O my Jesus, every day I say "yes" to You!! O Jesus! I give You my heart, my mind, my body, my soul!! I give You my "yes" my Lord!!)

Difficult times are to be won. Won in Me. For, as the world struggles for unity, it fails as it tries for a peace formed with lips, when the only True Peace can come from a heart. And I tell you child, that Unity can occur only when every heart is willing to come to Me: only to Me. But not to approach Me on your own grounds, but on Mine.

The offense of every heart who sits before Me is the mileage, the distance between us. I say: every heart who sits before Me. Because then I am speaking of the heart who is yearning to be fully, Mine. Another heart, which races about and never stills, is avoiding me. There is a fear that if one listens, they will hear precisely what they don’t want to hear. And so, they are busy avoiding Me.

Ah! But the heart which sits here, is striving. Striving to be heard. But what of ME? Am I not as well, striving to be heard over and through the noise which still remains in a heart? Hear Me, O House of Israel. Hear Me, O people of Jerusalem. Yes, here in the Silence. How many hearts are still avoiding Me by too much talk. Who is truly LISTENING to their God?

And so, I whisper to hearts and voices who hear. Yes, some hearts who hear, likewise remain in silence. But the end purpose of their prayer is to support all who go out and announce My Good Word. For all prayer is Mine. And all people are Mine. And all hearts are Mine. And in Me, all hearts are in Unity. Yes, child. Heart to heart. (O! Thank You, Jesus! My Jesus! Thank You!!) [The Lord answered my heart, as I "felt in prayer" with my sisters at the Monastery where I retreated recently.)

And so, Sarah, we sit here together. In this place of heart. (O yes, Lord! Thank You, Lord!!)

Daughter, write. Continue. (Yes, my Lord!!)

Child, why would I speak, but to be heard. Why would I have men’s hearts to hear, but to be followed! The LISTENING is important. To every detail of My Word. I am God. I am King. I deem to be attended. My Word. My Way. This is the Desire of your King.

Ah! But who obeys? Who truly obeys! Who is left who understands the word? OBEDIENCE! But WHAT do you obey? WHO do you obey? How well do you LISTEN, that you would obey MY WAY and not the way of the "other?"

Children, hear Me. I call you forth to lead, first, your own hear to Me. And if you learn how to advance with your own heart to Me, then you may be permitted to lead others. But all that while you must be constantly first, bringing YOUR heart to Me. For a true leader constantly gives ME the heart. That purest, most sincere part. Yes! The heart. The room of the soul: the Essence of Me within your being. Now, Joshua, child. Read and return. (Yes, Lord, my God. Joshua 3:7-11,13-17.)

(Lord, I have read the Words. They are beautiful. By Your Presence among us, Lord, as we receive You onto our tongues, as we receive You into our hearts, O Lord, DO part us from the world around us. O Lord, my God, DO let Your Being within us be the Power and Might Which holds back the flow of the World upon us. O Lord! Let Your Presence in Your Blessed Sacrament be the Presence within us, Your Ark of Your Covenant! Let it be YOU, O Lord, Who separates us from the world around us. And Lord, as we obediently follow Your Word, let us remain safe in Your Most Loving Care!! Amen!! Alleluia!!)

Read My Word, My Psalm. Read and record it here, child. For I would be praised. (O! Yes, my Lord. Ps. 114:1-6:)

"When Israel came forth from Egypt, the house of Jacob from an alien people, Judah became God’s Holy Place, Israel, God’s domain. The sea beheld and fled; the Jordan turned back. The mountains skipped like rams; the hills, like lambs of the flock. Why was it, sea, that you fled? Jordan, that you turned back? You mountains, that you skipped like rams? You hills, like lambs of the flock?"

[As I finished reading the Psalm, it was as though I could see Jesus looking at me, waiting to hear me speak....] (Because, O Lord, of Your Power and Might! Even the winds and sea obey You, my Lord and my God! Alleluia! All heaven and earth will adore You, O Lord! Every knee shall bend, every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord! Even, the stones will proclaim Your Glory! All creation groans for You, my Lord!! This is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad! Alleluia! Be still, O heart, for the Lord approaches. Be still, O heart and enter the Domain of God. In the Silence as the seas part. Enter the path set before us: the land of the Lord! Amen! Alleluia!! Maranatha!!)

Daughter. [I could hear the soft Tone of His Voice!] (Yes, my Lord?)

[I could FEEL the Gaze of Him upon me!]

Child. (Yes, Lord.)

The Words you have spoken. (Yes, Lord?)

My sweet Sarah, hear Me. I have parted your heart and you have permitted Me entry. Openly have I walked here into your midst. And My Glory fills you, child. See! Hear! My Wisdom speaks through this mouth of a child. All and everything I am is here. Here in a heart. A heart fully given! A heart fully walking in Me. Be not proud, Sarah. Be humble, Sarah. Speak, child.

(My Lord, I am before You. I am IN You. And You have allowed it. This place I am, Lord, is by You. My heart pouring forth Your Wisdom is by You. I am blessed, O Lord, to be Your creation. To be Your clay. To be Your earthen pot into which YOU, O Lord of Hosts, Desires to be. All and everything is by YOU, O Lord God of the Heavenly Hosts. I see me as You have made me, Lord, and it is so GOOD. And I praise You and I bless You, Lord, for Your Glory, for Your Love. Thank You, Lord, for Loving me. For being in me. For Lord, I bow and I say that it is all by YOUR Glory, O God, that any Goodness is present here. All by You. Nothing by me. [I fall into Tongues and my heart speaks with yearning to our God....words have failed me.] Praise be to God! God be praised!)

Child, we will record now, the verses of My Gospel. Refer and read.

(Yes, Lord. Mt. 18:21--19:1!!) [And after reading the Gospel, I hear

Jesus speak in the softest of Tones, so paced and calm. Such LOVE!!]

How small was My world, child. I crossed the Jordan after teaching My people. The very sea once parted, at My Presence there. For, child, I have come into this world to be its Greatest Sign. For all the leading that was done, for all the grandeur performed and witnessed by man’s eyes, still needed to be settled into hearts. Hearts so hardened by time which had rendered to them My Words, resting there in obedience, but not in life. For, child, true obedience brings forth life. And obedience is garnished with humility and patience and endurance and hope and Faith and Love. All along the Journey to the moment of full Life in Me. That moment when God and man come face to face. And what of that Moment? How shall it be? Will eyes truly see Me then? Or will eyes see but a Man and hearts will not see? Will life lead My Way? Will My Words be spoken or obeyed or lived? Will hearts be pliable and moldable? Will hearts be as stone? Will hearts be as one? Will hearts be alive? To be parted and entered by Me? Will hearts cry for Mercy. Will hearts give forth Mercy? Will My Life have made a difference? Will My Word be alive? In the hearts of My people? Or will kindness be taken and hoarded like gold? Will kindness be given for kindness rendered? Will debts be forgiven for the sake of oneness in Me? Will a man’s heart be broken, as even is My Own, over the lack of Mercy? The lack of forgiveness? The lack of sorrow over the wrong one has done? O nation, be not hardened! O nation, be Mine. One nation: your own. Your heart! Be not hardened. Be Mine. Be forgiving of all around you; but first of yourself. See that forgiveness is yours. And it is yours to give. To yourself and to others. I speak now of My Glory, My Presence among men. I beg you, My children, to make peace with one another. Love is asking you to Love. Let the waters that block you be parted. Let Life truly enter your domain, yes your heart. For, how can you be one in Me if you are at odds with your very self? How can you be whole in Me if part of you; that oneness you share: your spouse, is distanced from your heart, your soul? Forgive. Remove the debt. Be kind. Be Love. Be of heart, one in Me. But only as you are one in each other.

Nothing will part. Nothing will change until you believe fully in Me and My Living Word. To obey without Life is meaningless. To Love without heart is impossible. To be in Me without forgiveness, does not exist. Come from nowhere, then, and truly BE in Me. As I have called you forth. One in Me. One in Me. But by these terms of Love. Oneness and Willingness. That is the Path. Truth shall lead. But will you follow? Will you believe that in Faith you can stand the rush of the tide? Will you even close your eyes in Blind Faith and rely totally upon Me? For see, I not only lead you, I carry you as well. So, let worry fall from your arms. Let that burden go. See and believe in your heart. Know and believe in your heart. Love and forgive from your heart. Be with your God in your heart. All the world parted and True Life in Me flows. Come, this is the Way to a True Life in Me. My Word.

Alive. In your heart. Let the world be parted. Let Life, yes True

Life, begin. Amen. Alleluia to My Father. Amen. And child who reads,

Alleluia to you. For, I see My Presence there. Amen. +

With Love, in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary,

His Sarah
