Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,
My Jesus, may I ask You to bless our son on his 27th birthday. O Sacred Heart of
Jesus, hold him close to Your Precious Self. Holy Mother Mary, let him hear the beat
of your Immaculate Heart. O Two Hearts, united as one, I place our son in the
crevice where your hearts meet. Amen. O Lord, may I ask for Your Blessing upon
each of us, especially those who minister publicly in Your Church. That we would be
naught but vessels, purified and worthy of Your Presence within us. Bless us, Lord,
Grace us, Lord, that our actions might reflect only You. Let us serve YOU as we
serve one another. More of You, my Lord, less of us. Amen. Jesus, Jesus,
Jesus! I place my trust in You!!
A repentant heart. I call repentant hearts before Me. I have created
hearts which are perfect, but now they enter this world tarnished by sin. And in
Baptism, the sin is removed but the inherent weakness remains. And so, I have come
for the forgiveness of sins. I have opened My Side that you might come and be washed
clean here.
Children, lambs, hear Me: I have blessed you with a distinct advantage, and it
is called: Faith. But what are you to do with such a Gift? Will you
nurture it in Me? Will you keep it stain-free from your own touch by reconciling
often in Me? Will you acknowledge that there is a purpose for all Gifts I bestow
upon you? The primary purpose of every Gift given, is to call you closer to My
Heart. To live a life in Me. And as you grow within My Being, you will send
out branches from your place upon My Vine and all will come to see the Truth of your
roots.
Yet, some would refuse Me. Yes, they know Me, but they refuse Me. And
how, you ask, would one truly refuse Me? There are those who have walked away
completely. Self-banishment. Self-denial. Cut from the Vine by their own
hands. Let us pray for My brothers and sisters who have separated themselves form
Me.
O flowers who would turn yourselves only partly to My Truth, yet remain partly
turned to the world! Let Me remind you of one figure: Lot's wife. For a
moment of longing, of looking elsewhere but to My Word, she ws changed forever to a pillar
of salt. Her flavor could have blessed My Nation. But her heart's focus turned
from Me and she was lost. Woe to you who turn from Me and lead hearts astray!
Better that your hands and feet were bound, that your mouth was silenced, than to
cause ill-effect. See how I have called you up into service for Me! That is
the point: in service for ME! The ministry to which I call you is not for your
glory, but Mine. That you should have grandiose thoughts or judgments while serving
Me, is to allow a poison to taint your ministry. How can you serve Me if you are
serving the world and self-desire as well?
Children, would you alter My Cross? You alter My Word. You do not live
as I would have you live. Look upon My Cross. See how straight are its lines.
There is a Path from Heaven to earth. God: planted firmly upon the
earth. Blood-soaked wood. Blood-soaked ground. From My Place of
Suffering I have looked up to My Heavenly Home and pleaded with My Father to forgive you
for you know not what you do. Children: would you rob Me of My dying Breath?
Would you declare Me in error? I have prayed to My FATHER and He is your
Father, children, by your inherent right, by Me. Now I tell you firmly, children:
Do not alter this form of address. If you title My Father other than the
relationship which is given, then you are no longer with Me. You have decided to be
against Me.
See, lambs! I have come for all PEOPLE. My Arms were outstretched to you
in My dying breath. All people, yes. Man. Woman. Child. As
God has created you. Render to God the things that are God's. His Eternal
Fatherhood. Do not challenge this point. And Love one another as I Loved you.
As I Love you now. There are no paupers in My Father's Kingdom.
Only princes and princesses. For you, O lambs of the Most High, are sons and
daughters of My Father. You are my brothers and sisters. And as you progress
down the Road of Life be aware that you do have a Mother: My Own. And
you are wed to Me in the heart of My Church.
Follow the Path within My Church. Obedience will be rewarded.
Patience and Endurance are Virtues which hone your heart. A heart has vision
but waits upon the Lord. For Love, My children, is My Own Gift to you. And I
will soften your hardened heart. I will make you truly one in Me. But you must
be willing to relinquish self for My Sake.
Lambs: To be a true visionary is to see My Way and then be willing to let Me
lead you. Do not lead in spite of Me. Lead because of Me. Lead for Me.
To serve Me.
O lambs, I bless you. With many blessings. Be gentle. Be kind.
Be meek. Be mild. Be childlike. Be Mine. Yes, shall I
bore you with saying it again? But I still do not see you completely at My Side!
Be in Me as I am in thee. One. In Me. Do not precede Me.
Follow Me. Amen. +
