Feast of St. Stephen
Friday, December 26, 1997Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,
[I am praying in Tongues, and understand.....]
Enter my heart, my Lord!! Let my breath be the Breath of God. Glory and Praise be to Your Holy Name! O, Son of God! O, Son of the Virgin Mary! Peace is the environ of Your Heart. Bring Peace to the world, O Lord! O Kind and Gentle Jesus, let me serve You all the days of my life! Let me always be one in You. Let me grow to be more and more, one in You!![Jesus speaks.....]
My Cross stands before you always. It is not a place of fear, but a place of constant conversion. Here, men's blood becomes My Own. Here, every breath becomes one in the Breath of God. Here, all Promise is fulfilled. Here, O children, I call you into My Gentle Moment. (Glory and Praise be to You, O Jesus Christ! Son of God! Son of Mary! Praise be to You, O God!!)My lambs, hear Me. Life is a process of birth and life and dying and rising into Me. Come forth, little ones! Hear! DO, hear Me!
My sweet things, let Me speak to you of suffering. Let Me tell you, that if your focus is on Me, on God, then suffering becomes an intimate union in Me. I am not asking you to seek out moments of suffering. For then, they are YOUR moments and not Mine. I speak of life's process wherein suffering is Graced to you. Yes, Graced. Because I would never leave you Grace-less! You are My lambs, the children of My Father, afterall.
Lambs, I want you to contemplate the story of Stephen's life in Me. He became like unto Me. He was, dear ones, IN Me. As I have asked that YOU be. Do you see the recognition of life in Stephen? He never lost his focus on True Life in God. My little ones, the world, in a rage of jealousy, WILL inflict you. Will you relinquish Me again, for the lures of the world? Or will you turn from your worldly ways and give all unto My care? Children, these are very precious times. Do not waste a moment. For, so much could be offered to Me. For the reparation of your sins and the sins of the world. I present you with so many opportunities. Come, do come, to recognize these moments in your lives. Display the spirit of your Faith to the world. How is My Light to be seen, if not through YOU? Do you think I would share My Spirit, My Light, with you for no real purpose? I am a God of Purpose. I have repeatedly told you this. I DO expect ACTION, lambs. These are not just kind words to soothe you like a healing balm. I expect that I HEAL you. I expect that you GROW with new life. In Me. That is the Purpose. True Life in Me. CHILDREN, do you not understand? I AM PURPOSE. BEGIN, NOW, A TRUE LIFE IN ME.
Lambs, you are IN the world. But truly, you are not of it. You are Mine through Baptism. You are of My Spirit. Be ONE in Me. Be IN Me. Do I give you Grace as just one more possession? To be looked at? Admired? And then stood to the side? Am I to give, and not to receive? What I give to you, children, is to be used. Recall My Parable of the Talents. Do not become an example of a worthless servant!
O lambs! There is LIFE here! Do you not see it? Look! Here I AM! TRUE LIFE IN GOD is standing here before you. Will you turn Me over to the authorities once again? Or will you embrace Me and stay, and truly LIVE in Me? You MUST stand your ground, My lambs. You are either WITH ME or AGAINST ME. No middle ground. You will either FOLLOW My Word, or you will CAST ME OUT.
Children, the world would hate you. The world would deny Me. The world would deny My Right to be. In you. The world would remain blind, though I have soothed the eyes to give sight. The world would look, for a time, and then shut to the Presence of Truth in the midst. Children, I ask you: Are you in the world and of it? Or are you in the world but truly alive in Me? There is a difference, lambs. The difference is TRUE Life in God. How willing are YOU to live the Truth? How willing are you to go the distance? To My Cross? Beyond, into My Eternity? Are you willing to fall in flesh to rise in spirit? Are you willing to Trust Me? Are you willing to Live in Me as I am in you?
My Mother has spoken to you in these days, of willingness. How willing are you to say, "Yes, Lord, I come to do Your Will"? How willing are you to come forth and follow Me? How willing are you to live a True Life in Me?
I wait. I look for your answer in the value of your life. I wait. I look. What shall I see? How shall it BE? You in Me? Or, you in the world? Choice. Choose. Be. In Me. Or in the flesh. Be in Me. Or in the world. Be in Me. Or in the devil. That is the choice. What will it be? I ENTREAT YOU TO BE IN ME. But the decision is yours. I wait. For you. Amen. +
