A heart over-flowing in Love bathes Me in the ointment, the balm of the heart.

Monday of Holy Week, April 6, 1998
Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,
O my Sweet Lord, yesterday at the Monastery the priest spoke of Holy
Week; and he echoed precisely, the thoughts in my heart. That EVERY
week, every moment of our lives are holy. Every week is a holy week!
But THIS week is still, so special, for within it our Church immerses us
into even the EMOTION of it all. O Lord! Just as at Christmas
the world is fully swept into the emotion of Your Birth, so now, there
is a tide of emotion to Your Passion, Your Body, Your Blood, Your Rising!
O my Lord! I don't know what it is, but something very "large" is
the feeling within me. My Jesus, last night our son kept saying that
I seem "different." My Lord, whatever all of this is, may it be in
You. For You, O Lord, are the echo in my heart! Jesus,
Jesus, Jesus
Be my Life, my Breath, the Moment. This Moment Thine! Amen.
God be praised! Amen
[Jesus speaks.....]
Sweet Sarah of My Heart, I receive your voice, your Love, your heart.
For the "largeness" you feel within you is Me. My Heart is an Ocean
of Love, and it is This Presence of Me within you of which you are aware.
How can we define ourselves, Sarah. For I absorb you as you desire
Me. My child, like a little flower do I pluck you from this earth
and lift you to My Nostrils to smell the fragrance of your sweet Love.
(My Lord! I can hardly believe what You have spoken just now!
O my Lord, I LOVE You! Please accept my squeaky morning voice!
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus! May I be Yours all the days of my life, that
I may spend Eternity in Your Arms.....[I begin to pray in Tongues.....then
Jesus continues.....]
Sarah. (Yes, my Lord?)Child, what is Love, but that which is to be shared? Have I not
given My Life for the sins of all men? Have I not done this freely?
(Yes, Lord, I bow before Your Word)
And Sarah.....the hair, the oil, the Love. [ref. today's Gospel]
See! It has been done before you. A heart over-flowing
in Love bathes Me in the ointment, the balm of the heart. Sarah,
you have bathed My Heart with your sweet Love. (My Jesus, I can
do naught but bow and BE in You. Your Kindness places here on this
page.....Love.)
Sweet child, hear Me. My people must know of Love. For
Love is All and Everything. Love is God. God is Love.
Pure Love. Love of Me. Love of neighbor. Love of self.
Pure Love. Not selfish, not jealous. But pure. Such a
strange topic to a non-believer, here in a week the focus of which appears
to be death. Death on a Cross. Yet, without Love there is no
purpose. Without Love, all is lost. Love covers a multitude
of sins, Sarah. My Love covers ALL sin.
Daughter, write these words. (Yes, my Lord and my God.)
Sweet thing, announce to the nations this fact: All men are
loved by their God. But all men must FEEL loved by their God.
For I Who am God, HAVE created feeling. I speak of holiness here.
I speak of all things rendered to Me, here. Feelings rendered as
part of what brings you to Me. Not as distraction; for all
too often, they become as a god. The focus on feelings rather than
Me can retard your growth in Me. For you are then, focused on self
gratification and not on your God.
Yes, My lambs! I allow you to become swept into the emotions
of My Moment that you might become more swept into Me. For, to BE
in Me IS My Desire, afterall! For I have loved you to the Death.
I have loved you beyond this Life. I do Love you for all time.
Now I ask you this: will you let your hair down for Me?
Will you relinquish your pride, your ego......yourself, for Me? Will
you NOT listen to the ways of the world which would caution you against
a True Life in Me? For there ARE those, little ones, who would say
there is only one way to Me, and it is THEIRS! There are many hearts
and many ways to MY Heart! This is but one. Perhaps it is yours,
for YOU are here! That you come to Me is all that concerns MY Heart.
That we become one is My Desire!
And so, here we are on the cusp of Holy Week. The containing,
the summing up, the Beginning of all that shall be. Come.
Do enter. Into My Glory. For this Day you shall be with Me
in Paradise. My Kingdom is with you now. Here in your heart.
My Heart in you. Your heart in Me. One. In Me.
Amen. In Love. Amen. In My Blood. With My
Life. Sign Me, Jesus. Amen.
