Live + Jesus
Feast of the Holy Family
Sunday, December 28, 1997
Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,
[Jesus speaks.....]
My little children, hear Me. I am the Lord, your God.
I am Jesus, Son of God. Son of Mary. Son of Joseph. It
is I, the Lord Jesus, Who speaks to you this day. Your Temple!
Yes, your Temple! Do let Me enter your Temple this day. I am
God and I long to reside there. To live and breathe there.
Yes! In you. Me: I should like to BE in you. Amen!
Glory and Praise be to God! Let us praise God in Prayer.
Let us Praise God in Life. Let us Praise God in union, through the
Joys, the Graces of Church. Imbibe Me. Be in Me. Celebrate
Me. Be in Me. Let your life in Me be your active Praise to
God. If you are in ME, you are then, IN God! Amen.
Little ones, what is family, but a people gathered from one source
of Life! The Life is Mine. In every home, I am the Life.
For no Life exists without Me. The Hand of God creates all Life!
All Life is sacred! All sacrificed in My Name is Holy. All
sacrificed for the Sake of My Name is Holy. That Sacrifice has meaning,
give.....render all to Me! Tears become Joy. And wrongs WILL
be rectified. In Me. In Me. In Me. Though
you appear to be in harm's way, if you are in My Hands, you are safe.
You must come to believe this. If you remain in your own hands, then
you forsake Perfection for human frailty. Do not try to impress Me
with many words. Be a person of action and prayer. Be in Me.
I prayed. I acted. In Love. Let all you say and do be
in Love. Give no bad example. Do not increase the problems
that persist by using names and falling into scandal. Even truth
repeated, can increase the very fact you hail, as evil. Do you understand?
Prayer, lambs, should be your first words. The Words of God,
children, should be your own. A problem arises within a family; a
truthfully problematic time. But what to feed, is the question at
hand. There is a choice, you know. And to remain ONE in FAMILY
is the goal. So, I say to you: to go off and form an opinion,
a group.....aside of the concern is not unity. To remain and to pray
strives for unity. Do not point fingers at one another, for more
will be pointed at you. Do unto others as you would have them do
unto you! Have these not been My Words to you? So, you recognize
a wrong; but to point a judgmental finger at the one who is your concern,
is not the productive way. There IS a wrong, but YOU increase the
wrong by isolating the failing member; by judging and proclaiming your
verdict. I say, "Love one another as I have Loved you." I have
hung, nailed to a Cross. I have not pointed a Finger. I looked
to My Father and forgave all My accusers. I did not separate Myself
from a one of them. I am here, now, for each of you. It all
has to do with your perspective, how well you are hearing. It has
not so much to do with where I am, but where YOU are!
Daughter, let us continue. (Yes, my Lord.) [Sometimes,
when writing, my fingers go numb, and I was rubbing them for awhile.]
Children, I call you to family. You redefine family.
But the core of society is as God has created: man, woman:
husband, wife, children. That is the core of society upon which all
family life is modeled. But man and woman become one flesh in Me.
And from within Marriage does family spring forth. O lambs, the struggles
in your society spring forth from your own decisions, do they not?
In Me there are no burdens. You, My little ones, create burdens when
you freely choose to do things aside of Me. I am still here, yes.
For I accept all repentant hearts. And I will assist you, though
your road is now longer because of the footsteps you have chosen to make.
Your path and Mine converge at My Cross. All of Life meets Here.
Here at My Cross do all roads converge!.....All! Your struggles along
the way are in relation to where you are in Me!
My lambs, there is much going on in Life. But in Me, there
is Simplicity!. Where is your Focus? Is it on My Presence in
your Life? Do you begin to see Life in the context of where you are
in Me? Are you IN Me? Would you make yourself available to
Me? That I might draw you? Here? Into Me?
You search for Me. You find Me. I am Loyal. I am
yours. I am available to you. Yet all the while, My Focus is
on My Father. His Will. His Will. His Will. My
Father's Will is Perfection. I please Him. Be in Me, that we
might live in Perfection. Be in Me that we might accomplish the Father's
Will. My Father is yours. Be as concerned as Me that you live
according to His Will. Be in Me and be in My Father's Will.
Open your arms. Let go of needless judgment. Come.
Advance. In Me. Be in Love. Be in Order. Perfect
Order. God is Order. Family is Order. All reflects God.
Focus on Me, and be in Me. My family: I invite you into it.
I give you Me. I give you My Mother. I give you My Father Who
is God. I give you My Father Who is Joseph; his prayer guides My
Church. I give you example of earthly fatherhood in him. He
has kept us from harm. He has led us to security. He has nurtured
and loved and led. He has laughed. He has taught Me of manhood.
He is father. We are family. Holy Family.
Be one in Us. Be Holy. Be Family. Family of God.
Amen.

With Love, in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary,
His Sarah
