Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,
O my Jesus! O Father! O Holy Spirit! I Love You!
Here, Lord! I hand to You my heart. For it is so full of words,
of thoughts, of desires for You. And as I hand it to You my Lord,
it is not so much a gift, but an offering for I do not know, my Lord, what
to draw from it, what to say to You; what to give to You. O Lord!
You are GOD! As I watch the ocean swell and storm outside this window,
I know that Your Power is so great, but much greater than this which I
can see through the confines of these eyes which look through the frame
of this window! Yet, the Power I long to kneel before is You, my
Jesus, in Your Tabernacle. Ah! The sweet moment yesterday at
the Franciscan Monastery! Ah! The sweet thought of returning
to You at Mass tomorrow morning! O Precious, Precious Lord!
I Love You in Your Grandeur! Your Power! Your Calm! The
Stillness of Your Moment! In Your Nature, yes! In one another,
yes! But mostly, my Lord, to adore You in Your Sacrament! Feed
me, O Lord, a Spiritual Communion. I long to receive You so!
Read my heart, O Lord. Only YOU can make sense of its longings, its
needs. Fill me, satiate me, yet let me desire You all the more!
Amen.
My child, hear Me, My Words, as I speak to you now. I am the
Meal Which satisfies. Yet in satisfying you I develop within you
a perfect longing for more of Me. To BE in Me. Such a Desire
do I plant within you! A perfect growth in Me, turns your focus from
your needs to a desire to be in Me. (O Lord! There is a
fire within me which I have no desire to extinguish. May it be NURTURED,
Lord. May it GROW, Lord! May it consume Me!)
Yet some things, child, are not consumed in fire. They purify.
They change. They emerge as a refined substance. Such is the
life of a soul within Me. For this is the Purpose of My Fire, My
Spirit. My Life within you. To bring you, more perfectly, unto
Me. To bring you to DESIRE to be in Me. To forsake the world,
yet to lose nothing. To gain Me; to gain all you truly need!
I am a Fire which the world cannot extinguish. The world could
silence words. But the world cannot extinguish life. My Life
ended at the hands of non-believers, but My Life continues. For all
who enter Here, such will be the case. Example is the teacher:
the Way of the Lord.
My lambs, hear Me. I invite you to a particular Life in Me.
I have called you each forward from the womb to be in Me as I would be,
as I am, in you. You must come to be willing to enter My Mystery.
The world would silence you, yet you shall speak, by the Life you
lead within Me. You would come to enter My Word and I shall fill
you. Beyond measure shall I fill you. Beyond measure shall
I provide for you. This is My Way. If you would fully, truly,
enter Me.
What more can I say in this moment of your entering into Me?
I shall speak of Patience. Patient Endurance. You must come
to be willing, lambs, to wait for My Perfection. The moment, each
moment afterall, is My Own. There is not only you, but all creation
involved in every moment. I draw YOU to Me, but OTHERS as well.
And I weave you, O family, into My Own Being. If you come to focus
on Me, you will be filled sufficiently . The Plan, the doing is Mine.
If you remain focused on Me, then you shall arrive where you are to be
in the precise moment of My Perfection. I AM a God of Purpose, afterall.
My Power and My Might is nothing compared to My Love for you, O lambs
of My Heart! You cannot see, you cannot know the fullness of My Love.
I feed you, I nourish you, I wait for you even as you wait for Me.
I enkindle you, I urge you. I feed you My Words! DO speak for
Me! DO proclaim Me! DO be for Me, even as you are in Me!
See and believe! Believe and LIVE! I Grace you completely!
I am your Perfection! Come! Enter! Be perfected in Me!
Enter this Process of being, completely, in Me. Amen.
