Passion (Palm) Sunday, April 5, 1998
Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,
My Jesus, thank You, for today I am permitted to be Your Lector.....to help read Your Passion. Lord, make me strong. And St. Paul, pray for me as I read, first, your words to the Phillippians. Help me to proclaim in fullest of Faith, the proclamation: "Jesus Christ is Lord!" O God! Thank You for how You use us. May we serve You, O God, all the days of our lives. Amen.
[Jesus speaks.....]
I speak to you today, My lambs of commitment, trust, Truth. For all were driving My Heart on that entry into Jerusalem. O! How I have prayed that all I have taught would remain! In trust, I have offered to My Father My Life. That it has had any value, I give it all to Him. For I am accomplishing His Will which is My Own.O! How I have looked into the eyes and hearts who cheer Me! A bittersweet Joy as My Eyes meet theirs. For I ache within the Joyful moment. For I see the Truth as well! Those of loud cheer, with less future for commitment in Me. How quickly do feet get replanted in this world. How very quickly, when the focus is on serving man, and not My Presence in man!
Children, life needs to be more than a moment of good cheer! The cheer needs to rise from a solid foundation, a foundation in Me! To be swept up in the moment can feel, O, so very good. But unless all Life is rooted in Me, there will be little stamina for the duration of it.
My Father! O how I have wept for the Depth of My Love for You! For Father, I would.....I am Your Son and I long to please You, Father. Yes, even to the Death! Father, our children cannot fully understand My Conversation with You, for Ours is a Oneness beyond human intelligence! Yet, Father, I do let them hear Me, that they would come to Love You as I do.
See them think, "But He is God!" For Father, We are. Such Mystery You give to them in Faith! O Father! I have participated firsthand in the Mystery of True Life in You. For why would God become man, but to accomplish the Will of Himself? Father! We are One, yet Three Persons. And Father, I Love You beyond any compare! FATHER! I know the feeling of Love as it is contained within human flesh. Father! The bounds of flesh become as a prison for Love! Freedom to Love! Holy Spirit! Father! We are One! Love unending! Joy in sorrow! Pain with purpose in You!
Father! I see it all. I have for all time! Its beginning. Its middle. Its end. Its resurrection. Its Final Gathering. Its final Glory! Yet the moment, so precious now, as they cheer. Those moments in which Joy in Me is so easily visible. Those moments which should last, but do not. For more growth is needed. More relinquishing of self must be made.
Father! I open My Arms to You! Here, Father! Thy Will be done! For Your, satisfied Will, Father! That You are pleased, Father. That they be one in Us as We are One, Father!
O My Father, how can I make them to know of Your Glory? How can I make them to see Your Everlasting Love? The human eye has such little focus, My Father. Sometimes only as close as the nose. Sometimes only as far as self-service. O Father! I ask of You the Gift of Trust for them. That they might truly know of Your Love by Pure Trust in Your Eternal Goodness! Instill in them, Father, a rock-solid Faith that will not be bent by even the rising tide in this world of woe! Father! Let all look upon You and know that there is none greater than You. That trust placed elsewhere is trust tossed to the wind! Let them commit in trust to You, Father, because they are willing to live what they believe by Your Grace, My Father.
How else can one leave behind the Joy of entry into the hearts of men, for the Passion of the Cross? How else can one still hear the echoes of praise, now mixed with the insults of a jeering crowd. I do hear them, Father, I do. Yet.....I see You in My Heart, and I move on. Closer and closer to the final abandonment of this Body unto You. Without You, Father, I should have no Purpose. Without You, Father, I should be lost along the Way. For these Feet must move along life's Path, but the Path has no value without You, O dearest Father, in My Life.
I speak, Father, from My Very Heart. That they might hear how the Son of God prays to His Heavenly Father. That, perhaps, if it becomes obvious that God prays, they would, too. To talk to Us, Father. To be with Us, Father. To be One in Us, Father.
MY FATHER, let us breathe with all might, Our Spirit, profoundly upon them all. Let Our Spirit find a resting place in every heart! O Father, that all become One in Us as We are in the Other. For Your Will! O Father! For Your Will! I bow before Your Holy Will, My Father! I bow that they might learn that to bow before God is the posture of Faith. To believe that God IS present in this world. In prayerful thought. In one another. All around in the beauty of Nature. In My Tabernacle. On My Altar. In My Cross: the Time of Passion.
Father! My prayer is constant. Until all have heard. Until all have been touched. Until each heart can sincerely confront the issue for all eternity. To be with God, or against Him. To be freed from sin or to suffer forever in its grasp. That each would know the power in the will. That each would see the worth of its gift. That each would give as they are able. That each would give their heart.
O Father! I Sigh for the sheer depths of My Desire. Father, I render to You My Breath! Let us breathe upon them, Father! Let Love be proclaimed, Father! Let the Spirit rejoice in their hearts! This time, Father, let the rejoicing rise from a heart one in Us. In Unity.
Commitment. Trust. Faith. By You, My Father. According to Your Holy Will, but with the permission of theirs. Father, into Your Hands I commend My Spirit! Father, I pray that Oneness would occur. Of every heart unto Our Own. Amen. Father! I Love You! Amen. +
