Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,

O Lord, my Comfort and my Strength! You are my All and Everything! O God! I bow before Your Glory! There is an intensity within me, my Lord! In the mornings of prayer, and of night, my face is washed with tears. From a sadness? A longing? It is from a place very deep. Yet somehow, Lord, these tears rise up through a Joy-filled heart. I do not understand, Lord. Yet, I am with You. That I may be in Your company, Lord, is the only Grace I need!!

The coldness of hearts. (Lord?)

The coldness of hearts. O! How I long to warm every heart! Yet, so many shrink from My Occasion. So many run in fear. They speak of Me. They long for Me. Yet, when confronted with Me, they flee. Some run. Some walk away thoughtfully scratching their heads. O children, why do you do such things? So often do I stand before you, even as in a burning bush. So obvious am I. In the voice of another. In an act of kindness I am visible there. You have prayed to come to know Me, fully, but then upon meeting, you leave. You cannot accept Me as I am; yet you long for Me to take you as you are: faults and perfections, alike. Have you considered how My Heart pines at every turn you make from Me?

O! Trust! How difficult you are to be achieved in the heart of My people! O leap of Faith! How great is the distance for a soul locked in thought. Do not presume your failure, child. Trust that I shall succeed: Come, be whole in Me.

Sweeping hands. Hands of time. Time is fleeting. Sweeping hands:

hands that push under a rug that which must be addressed. How long can you maintain your silence from Me? I am the Source of Life and soon enough you will be forced to "come up for air" and you will see Me, if you allow your eyes to behold Me; even as I would reveal Myself to you. In My Way. Not yours.

O lambs: what do you really know of life? Do you not see the invitation set before you? In a package, perhaps, whose shape startles you. The wrappings, perhaps, too plain? Too gaudy? Not to your expectations? But they are My Way of presenting Me to you!

In the secret silence of a heart, the Kingdom of God exists. Come forth into the throne room of your heart, children. Look and see Who presides here: the air is filled with the Spirit of God. I open the door and I accompany you to the Throne, for even I Who am God fall on bent knees to the Honour of My Father. Come, join Me in Such Worship. "How?" you ask. In Me. In Me all is possible. Relax into Me, will you My child? O! The Grandeur Which resides within your being. It has been placed there by Me. I am God. Do not try to comprehend THESE thoughts. Accept them. In Faith. Will you?

Contemplate. Yes. Think. Of Me. No other thought. But of Me. In Silence. Quiet. In My Name. Focus on Me. Be filled with Me. I will lift you. I will comfort you. I will instruct you. Do not approach Me. I will approach you. Do not create the Journey, children. I have already paved the roads. And what do I ask? What have I always asked of you? To come and to follow Me. I do not reserve those Words for a few. Here I am in your midst. Saying. Asking. You. To come and follow Me. Where? Does it matter? Would I harm you? No, I would not.

Close your eyes. Even to your soul. To all else around you, but Me. Now, give Me your hands. And step. In blindness, forward just one step. One step closer to Me. Now, that is all I ask. But according to My Plan, not yours. In Me. That you might be one in My Father. To My Father. That is the Journey. To God. Life in God. Truth in God. Yes, yes, True Life in God. In Me. Process. Move. Grow in Me.

Now and forever. Amen. +

(Ex. 3:1-6,9-12; Ps. 103:1-4,6-7; Mt. 11:25-27)

With Love, in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary,

His Sarah
