Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,
"I was greatly consoled by the pleasure you gave our Lord in embracing His
Cross with Joy and Submission. It is true that He covered it entirely with roses,
lest it should frighten you. But it is not so much in this that you should
rejoice, but rather that you feel the pricks of the thorns hidden beneath."
(St. Margaret Mary, II, 231, "Thoughts & Sayings" for October 10)
O! Thank You, my Lord, for growth in You! How can a cross be a place of
beauty, but in You, my Lord!! I thank You and praise You, my Jesus, for this little
place on Your Cross where You have allowed me to be in You!! Thank You for St.
Margaret Mary and the Wisdom You allow her to share with us! Thank You, Jesus, for
Your Precious Blood, flowing from Your Cross, to purify us, to heal us: to make us
grow deeper into You. Amen!!
Daughter, you presume Me? (My Lord, I DESIRE You!! My Lord and my God, I
Love You. I adore You; I believe in You. Jesus, I trust in You +)
Ah! Yes, child, My Cross! It is a place of Love! [Jesus refers to
the cross I made at the end of my last sentence. I usually place two little hearts,
which show in these typed texts as "!!" but in that moment I felt drawn to draw
a cross "+".]
(O Jesus! I kiss Your Sweet Wood! [the Cross of my Rosary] O Holy
Moment! I would kiss Your Sweet Wounds + + !!)
My Cross is Love. My Cross is Hope. My Cross is Joy. Joy in
Suffering! Yes! Why has man come to suffer? Because he has turned his
back upon the original glory. I have seen that Paradise was yours, and you refused
Me. I am Order. I am Life. Ah! The challenge! To be like
God. To be IN Me. But some would circumvent Me. They would go around Me.
They would try to BE Me. Rather than to be IN Me, they would try to BE Me.
And here, is the sin of Pride. It is a powerful sin. It has felled My
angel. He has licked his wounds with others of his kind. And now he roams the
earth, bent on destruction. His wounds cause hearts to fall. My Wounds cause
hearts to rise.
Children: Can you not see the mark of the enemy? It is destruction.
Wounds that do not heal are nurtured by him. He would keep the sores
festering in your heart, lest they be healed by Me. Have I not made the body able to
heal itself? He would destroy you. He would disconnect you. And,
sickness has entered the world.
Now lambs, hear Me. There are those who would challenge My Word. The New
and the Old. This Word as well which I dispense. Lambs, I look and I see
the enemy lurking in the shadows of your life. He seizes opportunities to attack
you. He sees your weaknesses and he lunges when you are open to him. Open for
attack.
Do you know, dear ones, that I am always with you? Have you not received My
Spirit? Have you not been washed clean in Baptism? Arise, O lambs! Wake
up, O Jerusalem! See! Beyond any shadow, there is Light. I am the Light
of the World. Refocus your attention away from the enemy. Look in the mirror
and find My Presence within you. Be aware. Be alert. For a lost soul is
the war dance of the enemy. A soul rushing to Me is his disdain.
Yet, here you are, standing and accusing one another. Do you prefer to see the
lurking shadow? Or do you see MY Presence in one another? Lambs: I would
heal you. He would harm you.
My lambs, hear Me. The enemy rejoices in every moment you give to him.
And that you accuse ME of being in him, gives him the sheerest of
delights. That you accuse one another is his happiest moment. You, O lambs,
have replaced Love with confusion. You have accepted the most unbelievable lie and
deemed it truth in your heart. Who would dare to put a lie into My Mouth, save the
enemy of My Father's Kingdom. And rather than to recognize the enemy's snare,
you have placed your foot into it, to willingly paralyze your motion to Me.
Yes, Your spiritual growth has slowed, has ceased. Because of poor choice in
the use of free will. And as you recognize the error, you ladle pride upon your
wound. Child! You have become like a waxen figure. A candle, about to
burn itself out! Are you not stifled? Can you not see that your candle
dwindles even though there is no longer a flame? He is melting your life, O children
Israel. O My people! The enemy is melting your life away. He melts you
and you disappear into him. Can you not notice the lack of air? The gasping
breath? O! The piteous sight.
Daughter, write these words: (Yes, my Lord!!)
Would you, O children, accuse Me of being of Satan? Me, Whose Mouth is Pure
and Holy? Would you accuse Me that the Good Works I perform are rooted in the
son of destruction? CHILDREN, I have told you he holds up a mirror to deflect the
good. He reverses all images and re-presents them to you. You have breathed
his smoke. You accept his fog as clarity if you believe this!
I am Simplicity. I am not confusion. Good fruit: good tree.
Bad fruit: bad tree. To accuse the Son of Man as being rooted in evil
is bad. You are either left or right, My children. If you are not for Me, you
are against Me. If you accuse Me, you are against Me. If you proclaim Me, you
are for Me. If you espouse Truth, you are for Me. If you connive in the dark,
you are against Me. If you Love, you are for Me. If you hate or accuse, you
are against Me.
The lie spreads; it filters into every listening heart. Why would you listen
to lie when Truth is your natural environment? Lambs, shall I speak plainly?
Shall I take advantage of My Own Word? [I understood, today's readings.]
Those who turn on Me, who cut their own path, aside of My Word, are against Me.
You are not a "free thinker" as the world encourages. You have
become a slave of Satan. My Word, My Will, My Way or no way. Free Will, yes,
to choose. But do not offer to My children, lie as fact. Lie is lie.
Fact is Truth.
Daughter, let us continue. Those who would hear My Voice have a choice to
listen or refuse. I provide much good fruit to eat besides this meal. [I
understood private revelation.] I would nourish you along your way. But, because
you do not choose THIS medium, why do you attack it? Discern it, yes. But
discernment is to understand the right from the wrong. The good from the bad.
My Way is Truth. Truth shall rise. Lies will fall. Lies weigh down
the house in which they dwell. Do not confuse My Presence into the world, O
children, with My Presence within the one who serves. Now, what do I mean about
that? The one who serves is not to be the focus. And you who discern the
fruit, are not the judge of the person who serves. There are very fine lines, O
children, as you walk this path with Me. Do not cross the path where you are not
meant to be.
Each heart is unique unto Me. Yours is unique unto Me. No one knows you
like your Lord. I am the Just Judge. Child, record this: do not judge
one another but LOVE one another. Eat of the good fruit I provide. I have
provided plenty. Trust that I will serve you what you need. Do not seek out
another's diet. I have provided to you precisely what YOU need. Listen to My
Word. Heed My Word. LIVE My Word. What you do not understand has been
given to you by My Church. My Spirit teaches in My Church. Heed My Church.
Love My Church. Obedience will be rewarded.
Lambs, I come to unite My people. That you misuse My Gifts, causes division.
Be not quick to throw away My Gift only because you did not heed My Directions.
Be paced in Me. Pray to Me. Be in Me. Relinquish your mind and
blend here in your heart. Truth is whole. It is not one-sided.
Satan would divide us. If you are not whole, then I ask you: who are you
listening to? But, do not hate. I tell you to Love one another. How will
you accomplish such a task? Listen to Me: Focus on Me. Gaze upon Me and
I will fill you with Truth. What have I said, over and over? Why have I said
it? To protect you from the enemy. He would devour you. He would gnaw at
your foot to free you from his snare, that you might limp into his arms.
I would lift you up. I would free you with a gentle kiss, a gentle smile.
I would give you My Kingdom for the sorrow in your soul. Will you try to
breath My Air? It is light. It is airy. Your chest is free of aches.
Your heart is free of pain. In Me. In time. In Me.
The choice is narrowed: Life or death. Good or evil. Eternal bliss
or eternal damnation. Glory, children, glory; or the eternal fires of hell.
Make no mistake then, in your next footstep. Step into MY Imprints.
Come follow Me. There is no middle ground. Middle ground is a charade
of the enemy. FOCUS ON ME. Heed My Word. Live My Word. Live
My Life. My True Life. I am the Way. I am the Truth. I am the
Life. I will pursue you until your last moment. For, I Love you. And I
desire you; your presence forever, here in the Kingdom of God. Be aware. Read
My Word. Here. In Scripture. See and believe. Place yourself into
My Wounds. Here, in this Place of Forgiveness. Here in this Place of Love.
Here in My Side: be cleaned by My Water and Blood! Here, let
Mercy flow upon you. Here. Return here. To Me. At My Cross.
At this place of Life. Amen. +

With Love, in the Two Hearts,
