Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,
[The Lord speaks.....]
My Body. My Blood. My Soul. My Divinity.
My Word. My Life. My Death. My Rising. My Witness.
My Reality. Children: Once again, who do you say that I am?
Look around you. What sign, what wonder, is greater than Me?
So easily are you distracted by the wonders in your midst. If they
are valid, they are given to bring you to Me. My children, hear Me:
Because you remain lost, does not negate the Fact that I have already found
you. I shall explain.
Free will. Choice. Yours. Of Me, or not.
That is the simplicity of it. In every instance, check to see where
you are. Have you fallen into falsely judging, simply because you
cannot believe? Do you concoct stumbling blocks so that others fall
along the way, yet you remain standing? Is it important that you
maintain a demeanor of authority, or that you bow, in all things, to Me?
O children! So easily are you swayed. You take the good which
I send to you and you tend to worship IT. You gaze upon My Goodness.....the
Good Word I have sent to you, and you ignore ME Who is standing here in
your hearing.
Signs and wonders! So busy discussing My Resurrection, that
you have not noticed Me, with whom you discuss. Yes, Emmaus.
So busy in law, that you do not see before you its Very Author. Me!
My little ones, DO hear Me speaking to you. Who do you say
that I am? All goodness that I give to you is but for one purpose:
to bring you, ever so quickly, to My Side. Would I not want to purify
the world by My Presence in it? Well then, I have purified YOU by
My Spirit in Holy Baptism. Then you have set out on a journey to BE IN Me. Not aside of Me. Not [just]
"aware" of Me. Not predicting in your mind, HOW we shall be.
Children, I DO call you to an ACTIVE STATE OF BEING! In Me.
In Me. In Me.
The Son of Man is not a symbol! The Son of Man is Life!
You must be very careful, children, not to focus elsewhere, but upon ME!
In Me there is all Life, all Good Life.
Children, you gaze upon a car. You desire it. You test-drive
it. You agree to pay for it. You use it. Sometimes, you
abuse it. It quickly becomes an ordinary thing in your life.
It is of this life, the flesh. It is not lasting.
I am God. Have you, likewise, gazed upon Me, desired Me, ran
with Me.....for a time. Then have you tired of Me, this Life of Giving
to Me? When we have lost one another, where have we gone, you and
I? Have I moved on, or have you? Have you confronted Truth
and banished Me? Sent Me away. "Can't deal with it now,".....is
this what has occurred in your life?
Who do people say that I am? Who do YOU say that I am?
Have you seen Me, yet missed Me? Have you heard My Word, but ignored
it? Have you loved your neighbor, for the sake of Loving, alone?
Or was it for the sake of appearance? Outward appearance?
It is what is INSIDE which is of most value, children. Example,
example, example. LIVED experience! LIVED example. In
Me, or not.
Who do you say that I am? Lord? Then bow. God?
Then rejoice for you are My people and I AM your God!
My children, HEAR Me. LIVE Me. BE in Me. This is
My request. I stand here waiting for you. To come to My Shore.
For us to sit and speak. For US to take a walk. That I might
visit with you, truly. In your hearts. Look around you, lambs.
Where are you in ME? Growing? Changing? Trusting?
And so, you stand accused. You stand in Me! And so you heal.....you
heal BY ME! And so you Love. Because I am Love. All good
things rise from Me and in Me and by Me. Come, little one; be MY
Good Thing. Amen. +
