O Lord! Look at my heart! See it brimming with Good Things You have placed there! O
Holy Spirit, I entreat You "sort me out" and direct my conversation as I meet
today with [my spiritual director]. O Lord! the biggest delight I have in this moment is
the undying support of my husband! O Lord! Submissiveness! How today wives flee from the
word! Yet, Lord, submissiveness is understood in the context of a Loving Relationship. And
I thank You, Lord! And I praise You, Lord, for as I have submitted to my husband’s
advice, our Love has increased. And he with whom You have permitted me to share my life is
likewise, my Encouragement! O Lord! A leap in Faith. A blind step forward. What he would
have me do [a certain meeting where I would blindly trusted in the Lord, but my husband
requested regardless that I attend]. My Trust in You, Lord, that through obedience and
submission in this LOVING relationship, I would please the Father’s Will. And YES,
Lord, You have fortified our Marriage with yet another newfound strength! Praise be to
You! O Living Word! My Rock! My Fortress! My Strength! Pure Love! Amen. Alleluia! Amen!! I
bow in Reference before You, O Lord!
Daughter, hear Me now as I speak to you of change. A heart. Changed. Forever. In Me.
What is the source of your idolatry? Yes, I ask such a question! For any god raised above
Me is the idol to which I refer. Have I not said, "Blind fools!" Look how close
a nose can be pressed against the subject matter. Now do this, children! Yes, do! Place
your nose against this word and tell Me what you see! One word?
Perhaps two? Three? So much beauty is lost! Yes? For you only see
the print before your eyes. You miss the mission beyond. You miss the
Path. You miss the Way. You can barely see the Light. And in the
absence of all, you have missed the Truth. O! Pharisees! They are
among you! O! Pharisees! They are in you! For how often do you see
only according to your own vision and not Mine? Think now. The blood
of a Pharisee does run through your veins. At least once. Twice?
thrice? (I am sorry, Lord.) [I had an uncharitable thought.]
Yes, let Me hear the words. (Repentance, Lord. Forgive me, Lord!)
Daughter, your sins are forgiven you. I see hearts. I see their weakened state. I
declare My Sacrament among you: Seek Reconciliation often but BRING Me your truly
repentant heart. Would you go to a doctor and leave home your wound? No! How very absurd!
Children, hearts can change if you but bring them before Me. And to cleanse absolutely,
do so in the confines of My Secure Love: the confessional of you to My priest. Nothing is
too great to bring to Me here. No sin is greater than the Suffering for it which I have
borne upon My Cross. And I have done it all for you, child. Come, make My Sacrifice
complete. Let Me bathe you in the Waters from My Side. Let Me anoint you with My Most
Precious Blood.
Children, conversion is a process. A growth. A constant pattern upward in Me. See how I
gather you. See how I teach you. See how I grow you. Into Me. More and more into Me. Until
you become a new nation, fully alive in Me. I have done this. My Spirit has Breathed it
among you, to the Pleasure of My Father. And by your honest "yes" has it
occurred. Stagnation and boredom of routine are signs of a blockage to Life in Me. For in
Me there is constant change. By My Way, not yours. I am not "busy work,"
children! I am Life! Yes, true Life! In Me!
You would challenge Me? You would challenge God? Yes, it does not surprise Me. It has
occurred before. And it will again! So many hearts are blind! Blind fools! Yes! They are
there! See them with their noses pressed upon the subject of what they deem to be service
to Me. As they would perform it. Not as I would Desire it be done. How can one have vision
if one cannot truly see?
I move on. Can you see Me now? Child, I ask you: what can you truly see of Me, with
your nose pressed elsewhere than where I would have you be?
Think now of what you do. Is it My Will? Or yours? Examination of conscience is a good
thing, children; for it reveals the Truth of the Matter. But you must position yourself to
truly see. Through the Eyes of My Spirit. To the place He would lead you. Now and forever,
here. In My Heart. Where Freedom and Vision abound. Where the Breath of God fills the
lungs. Where the Will of God is the Rule of Life. True Life in Me. True Life in Me. True
Life in Me. Me. Mine. My Life. And you, in willing submission to Me. Amen. In Vision. In
Hope. In Love.
Amen. +
