Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,
My Lord! How Perfect You are! Such a nothing am I! I look at me, Lord. What would I be without You? A lump of flesh. My only worth is in being Your child. Thank You, O Lord, for letting me be Your child. Teach me, O Master, that I might learn. How weak I am, how feeble.
O child! Can you not feel Me inside you? (Yes, my Lord! In my heart!)
Child, hear Me. Many are called. Few are chosen. The multitude needs My laborers and there are so few. Who will serve in My Stead? I whisper. I call out. But who hears? Who sees? Who listens? Who comes forth? Who stays?
O children! I cannot promise you a life free of travail. I cannot promise you a life free of woe and hard labor. What I give I give freely. Freely from My Heart. I do not inflict anything upon you. And in your time of woe I give Life. A Life not visible to worldly eyes. Can you not see, O children who hear? I have begun to clear your vision. Can you not see Me in your neighbor? Can you not see My True Light shining forth? Then HEAR Me! Come follow Me.
O CHILDREN! WHY ARE YOU SO AFRAID? I CALL ! I CAST OUT MY NET! There ARE fish in My Sea. But so many wriggle through My net of Love! They refuse My Invitation! They have heard My Whisper and they have refused Me. And now My people hunger and thirst! See! You hunger and thirst! So many are in need of a Shepherd! And I have shared Myself with those I would choose. But, alas, they would not share themselves with Me.
YES, SARAH! This IS a call to Vocation! To be in Me as I am in thee. Within you, Who am I? Am I a tender nurse, calming and stilling an aching heart? Within you am I a leader? Assisting My children to find their way? Am I a teacher? Am I a parent? Am I within you: God present to His people? Am I within you as priest? Am I a servant to My people? LOOK. If there is a sea of need and no one to serve, is it that I have not called, or that you have not heard, or that you have not listened. Or that you would not come? Do you think that I, Who am God, have erred.....or is it that YOU have not followed. Children: I am beyond error.
My lambs: My Heart is moved with Pity for you. I am here. I ask that you be in Me. Are you? If you were, you would begin to see through My Eyes. What do you see? Anything new? Do you begin to see with Love and Compassion? Children, hear Me. I am PLEADING with you: COME FOLLOW ME. PLEASE. I NEED YOU.
Yes, be in prayer, but feel Me lifting your foot that you would move one step closer to Me. For I am here, waiting on you. Can you not feel the urgency? Do not let My Judgment of you be a sea of hungry faces. A multitude of arms reaching out for assistance. Do not let My Judgment of you be a heap of bodies, dead on the inside because they have not heard or seen Me because of your reluctance to come and follow me.
Lambs: Nothing has changed. I AM here before you. I am calling. Still your hearts that you may hear. Clear your eyes that you may see. Turn from the world for even one brief moment that you could see the Reality of Me and all Eternity. Children, DO LOOK UPON ME. PLEASE!
I am hungry. I am thirsty. I am in need. I am in want. I need a leader. I need a teacher. I need Love. I need you. Will you come? My Invitation stands. To be in Me as I am in you. For I would feed the hungry. And I would nurture souls. But I have chosen to do so at this time, through you. And it will be accomplished, but for one thing. That you BE in ME, as I am in you. That you BE. In ME. Please. +
(Is. 30:19-21, 23-26; Ps. 147:1-6; Mt. 9:35---10:1, 6-8) "If you find yourself in the depths of spiritual poverty, cast that poverty into the abyss of the adorable Heart of Jesus Which abounds in every kind of good; in this Sacred Heart you will lose what might be the occasion of death to your soul, to find instead, by true mortification, a source of life."

With Love, in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary,
