St. Jerome, Tuesday, September 30, 1997
Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,
My Lord, as I sit here in silence, here in Your Presence, I listen. And the
sounds I hear around me are sounds of morning: my husband rising; our son readying
for school; the soft distant sound of his music. And outside, the rushing of strong
breeze in the trees. The leaves whoosh with the invisible, yet audible wind.
And Your birds, Lord. How they do announce morning. there is a language
in them I do not understand. And here, Lord, my spirit prays in Tongues to you.
Again, in a language I do not understand, but one in which I do speak to You, my
Lord. Thank You for mornings, Lord. Though I present to You this
still-fatigued being, I would rather be here with You than anywhere else, my Lord.
Thank You, O Lord. Amen!!
Abandon your hearing to Me, children, even as you abandon your heart to Me. I
want your all and everything, that I might be YOUR All and Everything. I Am Who Am
to ALL people. I come not just for a select few, but for all.
I ask you to look into your life, children. Where do you exclude Me?
Think, now. For, every one of whom you have low esteem, you have low esteem
of Me. Him with whom you argue, is Me. Him whom you cannot Love easily, is Me.
Child, I would urge you to share what you have just done. (Yes, my Lord.
My Lord, often as I listen to Your Sweet Voice, my mind needs to be fine-tuned and
I have turned, as You have urged me, to the Holy Spirit. Here in This Presence of
God, I am able to immediately BE, by Your Grace, Lord, empty of all thought. And in
this particular instance, Lord, I have thought of how You trust me to write Your Word for
You. I have never thought of that before.....mostly I try to trust YOU. And
You have told me, Lord, that You trust me because You know me. And I have whispered
to You, my Lord, that I am seeking to Trust You and Know You more and more. And You
have told me, Lord, that this is Divine Intimacy. Thank You, my Lord!!)
Child, you please Me with your use of My Gift. (Thank You, Lord. I
live more and more to please You. And I am so sorry, Lord, when I sin. Like a
raging river before me is my sin. Sin which before, I never saw. Thank You, O
Lord, for how You purify us. Thank You. O Lord, for how you cleanse my soul!!)
Daughter, write these words: The Son of Man has come for all people. But
how would you come to Me? See that what separates us, oftentimes, is your inability
to Love. Truly Love. See that which separates us many times is your own self.
Self before God.
Abandonment to God. This is what is necessary. Of every part of you.
Willingness, yes. But, I pray you develop a desire to willingly abandon
yourself to Me. A people separate themselves from one another. A people
separate themselves from Me. The Journey along this Path of Life will enter many
foreign lands. But who are you there? A stranger? I am there. You
are not a stranger to Me. You must learn, My children, to walk in Confidence along
Life's Path because you follow Me. Because you are in My Company. Because I
have arrived there, ahead of you, even as I accompany you. Look for Me. Listen
for Me. I see you and I speak to you. I whisper in your heart.
Now lambs, I tell you further: Do not cast Me out. Do not thrust Me out
as into a prison. You would lock away that which you do not understand. You
must reach out on some common plain to form a bond of Love in Me.
Lambs, the Journey we must travel is not always where your feet would choose to go.
But I invite you along this Path of Mine. Will you follow in Trust? Do
you think I would bring you where you do not need to be? I Who Am God Am leading
you, child. There are no enemies. Just Love waiting to bloom. Love
is like a plant, children; for the flower to form there must be a bud. For the bud
to form, the germination of Love must be present. And yes, it takes two hearts
willing to reach out to one another for Love to be at all. (Lord? You are Love.
Then, Lord, Love has always been?)
Yet, for all time I have known that one heart would reach out for Me and so, yes,
Love has always been.
The Journey of Life is to be along a Path of Love. The enemy has planted foul
weeds along the way. But if you walk intently with Me, you will pass by unharmed.
And any weakness can be improved. Come to Me and bring Me your sinful
weakness. I will heal you with My Grace. Where we are going, child, must be
walked. In Me it is in Love that we go. In you, alone, there is struggle and
confusion. Let Me tell you something: Love begets Love. Come, and be the
wildflowers in My Field. That all may come and admire My Beauty. They will
enter and walk here. And they will desire to stay here. In My Land of
Perfection. In My Love and Grace.
Now and forever, child, in Love. Amen. (Amen, my Lord. Amen.)
