Title: "Love completely, lest you be judged as hating absolutely."

Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,

My lambs of every nation, hear Me. I am the Lord your God, and I would be heard. My lambs, Sweetness and Gentleness pour forth from My Lips. But as well, Justice and Mercy. Darling lambs: My daughters, My sons, hear Me.

I would speak to you of a profound issue; and that is, the discussion of the names of those I have chosen to serve Me. See how I have prayed to My Father. Yes, before I have named those who would serve Me, I have prayed. For, to please the Will of My Father is paramount. And to pray is to encourage God’s Blessings on all that is performed in His Name.

IN HIS NAME: How many deeds are performed in this guise? I say "guise" children, because all too often one thinks he is working for the Lord, when the motive lies somewhere aside of service to Me. And how does it lie aside of Me, but by its fullness in YOU. Yes, I ask you: is it YOUR will, or Mine?

Lambs, hear Me. All too often, as people trod this world in My Name, they refocus away from Me. They wander from the path I set before them. This is why I say, "Come, follow ME." You must pray, constantly, children, that you ARE following Me. Now, this is not to say that you do not follow the Presence of Me in another. For this is how life is for you: you in Me and I in you. However, lambs, if you remain in constant prayer you will soon enough begin to see the clarity of a heart. Or its vagueness. Patience and Endurance are Virtues from Me. And to be successful in Me, is to expound Virtue.

Children, lambs, to be One in Me, is no easy task, is it? There is constant renewal in a true Life in Me.

Daughter, write these words: The Son of God is calling to His people. The fact that so many arrive before Me is the Movement of the Most Holy Spirit. For, He whispers to men’s hearts. Each of you who has come to Me has done so at His Prompting. And now that you have come, you must learn a new lesson: that I am in you each. Children, you do not possess the Mouth of your God. I speak as I Will and to whom I so choose. I speak to ALL. It is how you hear Me that differs.

Love one another as I have loved you. Love one another as I DO Love you. Daughter, the hand which stops the progress of a soul in Me is not blessed by Me. A hand which would hinder Me in the heart of another is a hand to be scorned. PRAY for one another, children. Do not ridicule. Do not blaspheme Me by denying My Presence in another. Do you see the sin of Pride and its outpourings? It would disguise itself as just judgment, and in fact it is resulting in disclaiming My Voice in My child. Who has that pride? Who has that voice? Children: leave that Judgment to Me.

A pure heart recognizes My Voice. Recall, lambs, what I have said. Do not place strange gods before Me. Never use even the Gift I have given as a god. Worship not the gift nor the bearer, but the Giver Who is Me. Lambs, you fall into too much discussion. Come to Me in your heart and I will tell the Truth of it. There are many gifts for many people. And the gifts that I give, serve My people. If the gift is giving, if the gift is sharing, then the gift is good. If the gift is growing, then the gift is good. If it drops little seedlings and more gifts grow, it is good. For how can good come from an evil source? And now, as to the validity. What is the source of all Goodness, My lambs? All good comes from Me. So, why would you question the good that is Good from Me? All gifts! Many gifts! Many, for many people. Is every gift for every person?

O My children, listen to Me. Have you ever given a gift to one person which you would not to another? Why? Because the shirt is for the man; the dress for the woman; the toy for the child. Lambs..... [Jesus spoke with His Voice in almost exasperation.] .....do you understand Me? Many gifts. Many people. Why? To bring unity in Me. To open hearts to Me. All gifts, even the great, are to achieve one effect: the unity of a heart unto Me. And I see you. And I know you. That for you to be one, you must see the Oneness. And so I give you, above all gifts, the Oneness of My Church. The Oneness of My Sacrifice. The Oneness of My Table: My Holy Food. The Oneness of My Word: My Holy Scripture. This is where all gifts converge. Do not divert My gifts from this point. All that is given is to bring you to Me.

And so, I call you by name. To be Mine. To serve Me. As I would be served. Longevity in Me is by Grace. How else could you withstand the attacks of this world, the flesh and the devil; the darts inflicted by those who would proclaim Me, yet by word and deed, deny Me? For to wound My own is to wound Me.

Pray, My daughters. Pray, My sons. Pray that soon enough, all will be one. But we cannot be one without you. Examine your heart. I would bare to you your weakness, that in Me you will find strength. Come, follow Me. Be in Me. As I am in thee. Amen.

My lambs, hear Me; I entreat you. Love one another as I have loved you. This is My Command: to Love one another. Do you hear Me, lambs? My Words are Life. My Command is to Love. To deny Love is to disobey Me. No excuses. Soon enough: no excuses. My lambs, hear Me: do not insult one another. Do not deny Love from one another. If you are of Me, then let it be so: LOVE ONE ANOTHER AS I HAVE LOVED YOU. I am firm in this, children. I leave little room for wavering. LOVE ONE ANOTHER AS I HAVE LOVED YOU. Let not even a thought block you from truly loving one another. Be for Me, or against Me. Love completely, lest you be judged as hating absolutely. There is no room for hatred in My Kingdom. No middles, only complete surrender to Me.

Amen, amen, I say: Love one another as I have loved you. Daughter, I would defend My Own. Those who would offend the least of My people, offend Me. Accuse and judge: you do so to Me. What is new here, lambs? My Word [I understood Holy Scripture] stands. This is but affirmation to a dying world. Child, you may record it. (Thank You, my Lord.)

Amen, My lambs. Hear this word of Wisdom:

"Do not try to please the world. Critical of and clawing at each other, they love to save their heaviest scorn for those who give themselves to God...Give up this blind world and do not listen to its appeal. We must be firm in our purposes and unswerving in our resolutions. Perseverance will prove whether we have sincerely sacrificed ourselves to the spiritual life.

"Hypocrisy and true devotion have a close resemblance in outward appearance, but they can easily be distinguished from one another. Hypocrisy cannot last long but is quickly dissipated like rising smoke, whereas true virtue is always firm and constant. It doesn’t hurt to suffer some criticism when you start on the path of devotion. Actually it helps you escape pride and vanity.

"The world holds us to be fools; let us hold it to be mad." (St.

Francis de Sales, "Introduction to the Devout Life) +

(Col 2:6-15; Ps. 145:1-2,8-11; Lk. 6:12-19)

With Love, in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary,

His Sarah
