Ogunquit, MaineDear Jesus and Holy Mother,
O my Sweet Lord! Thank You for yet another warm, sunny morning. O Lord! The horizon of Your Ocean is before me. Below me Your Ocean rolls and crashes against Your Rocky Shore, changing, remolding, grinding, converting. In You, O Lord, rocks become sand. Sand is washed away and returned anew. My Lord! Your sun dances so brightly upon Your Ocean's surface, that I can barely look at it without squinting. [I begin to think of God.....] Come, Holy Spirit!
Child..... (My Lord! Again I smell Your Holy Fragrance!) I sit here, child, watching you learn. Yes, child, I enjoy, as well, the rising of creation in the heart of every man. Everyone who would hear, listen, to My Voice. To how I speak to every heart. In terms audible, understood, by those who would listen, observe Me in their world around them. For see, My friends still heard, still understood My Voice in their hearts. [Reference to today's First Reading from Acts.] And they believed and they followed. They believed and they spoke the Truth. Beyond any chain to bind them. Until their death.
Children, are YOU any different? Would I not speak to YOU as well? Would YOU not listen to your Lord? Be not enraptured with the glory around you, but pray that by My Glory, you would be willing to travel closer still, to Me. You are not to be sitting as entertained by My Presence with you. You are to rise up and BE in Me! ACTIVE in Me. ALIVE in Me. VISIBLE in Me. Yes, in LOVE with Me. Because, first, you have BELIEVED Me! Faith, Hope, Love. You truly cannot have one without the other. Each has a bearing on the other. [I begin to whisper in Tongues.....] My child, here in the sunlight, what have you seen? (My Lord, from within prayer, as I shielded my eyes from Your Sun on Your Ocean, I realized I was looking at my finger and the rings upon it. So close in my vision was their sparkling brilliance, that it caught my attention.)
And what did you notice, child? (Lord, my wedding band shining yet bound to my engagement ring. And bound to them as in oneness, the first ring my father gave to my mother.....their original wedding band. But Lord, it was the oneness, the three in one that mesmerized me, that filled my heart, my thoughts, my vision.)
And why, but because My sunlight is present. To dance, to lighten the darkness. To bring warmth to cold hearts. Do you see, My little ones, that I teach, constantly, here in your midst, but you must become as a child to notice Me. If I am hidden in the words of a grand book, I shall become obvious if you allow a part of you to become as a child. Do you see how easily a child believes? So much does a child believe, without even, words. A hand extended to a parent is a sign of trust. Trust is Hope. The warmth of the hand is Love. The extension of one to the other is Faith, because relationship is believed. And your journey in Faith must be as a child. O little ones, you will gain much more "ground" in Me if you come to Me as a child. For then you are willing to discover so much newness around you. With the clear eyes of Faith. And then you shall desire more of Me as you Trust, Hope, Desire. To be. Fully alive in Me. And Love will flow like an ocean. Do you know, little ones, that I Who am God, do allow you to enter My Ocean of Love so that we will become so one in the other that you become indefinable in Me? I encourage this. I Desire this. Oneness. Of you unto Me. O children! I have gone to such lengths to have your oneness, freely given, unto Me. I could have given you the world. But that shall fade away. And so, I have given you Myself. My Life. That by Me and through Me, you would learn that the Way to My Father is Me.
Come, now, children. Bask Here in the True Warmth of My Love. See the Endless possibilities in My Ocean of Mercy! Come! Enter! Be in Me! I am power like an ocean, yet I am the gentleness of its tide. I am its Glory in the rising of your new day, and yet I can be the fury in the time of judgment.
But NOW is your moment! NOW you have Life. In Me! So Breathe in My Spirit and Live! Believe! LIVE what you say you believe in Me! Be a witness, like the ocean to the Presence of Me here! And with every step forward in Faith, I shall gently refine you. Until YOU glisten in My sunshine! Until others look and hear ME when they see you. THIS is My Desire! To be heard in the Voices of My people! To be visible because you know Me, serve Me, Love Me. Because you have first, believed Me. In all Who I am, in all who I would make YOU to be. Amen. (Alleluia, Lord! God be praised! Amen. Alleluia! Come, Lord Jesus! Maranatha.)
(Acts 5:17-26; Ps. 34:2-9; Jn. 3:16-21)
"Remain in peace, wholly given over and immolated to the Sacred Heart of our Lord Jesus Christ, Who I am sure, will never forsake you. He will take very special care of you, in proportion as you trust in Him, and abandon yourself with unswerving fidelity to Him, whenever there is a question of proving your Love."
