Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,
[The Lord speaks.....]
My child, I enforce certain attitudes in hearts which would receive
Me. It is My Desire to enter all hearts. But the door must
be opened by you: each heart wherein I would enter. Shall it
be told that growth in Me will be great and grand when I am more permitted
to move about freely in a heart? Then I shall say it is so!
The Purpose of My Movement is conversion. I do come and uncover all
that needs cleaning, refreshing in Me. I expose every corner, every
nook, every area that was dark and suffocating. That the Breath of
God might truly enter and rule. Should My environment not be a Pure
one? Would I not cleanse you by the Power of My Own Sacrament?
And yet, look at you: quite normal, ordinary, to the naked eye.
Ah! But to Me! You are a PALACE! And I Love living here,
where I am permitted!
Yet see, like with Me, the reception of such a heart in this world.
See, do see, that tragedy can befall the most dedicated heart. It
is MY Path you are walking, afterall. Do you walk My Way for Glory?
Then be prepared for My Crown! Its Sweetness shall penetrate your
heart, even as it does My Own. I would not part with that which is
Life! Do not see Death here at My Crucifixion, see the fullness of
Life, True Life, in Me.
There is a Joy in Suffering in Me, if only for the holiness of the
moment. If only for the moment of you, so deeply now, in My Wounds.
My lambs, My little ones, hear Me: There is nothing I ask of you
which I have not yet endured and endure once again with you. I am
your only Sense! O children, DO remain in Me! Every moment.
Every hour. Every day! That together, we might become One flesh.
My Own. My Own Flesh. My Own Blood.
I prepare you, My lambs, for a full life in Me. You truly must
DESIRE TO ENTER My Way. To truly BE in Me. That there would
no longer be a separation of you from Me. The unity I Desire is Everlasting.
By My Grace, it shall be. This is the moment of Glory. The
moment wherein you enter My Heart, never again to leave.
You follow Me. Now it is for you to choose to ENTER!
My Life would ABSORB you and give you the Greatest Freedom. But you
must step now, and again, deeply into My Wounds. Focus only upon
Me. Eat My Body. Drink My Blood. See? Nothing changes
on My Part. I wait for you! Come! Be changed Here in
My Presence. Open to Me your willing heart, that I might encompass
you, draw you eternally here into My Own.
My Heart Desires your presence. I pray, I hope, you desire
Mine. If you are to truly know Me, it will be by your abandonment
of self unto Me. Be prepared, then, to hear the insults, the denials
that this could possibly be! But hear, greater still, the Beat
of My Heart. The Sound of My Love. The sight, the Gift of My
Life given for you! Be prepared for Grandeur here in the Kingdom
of My Hearts. Amen. +
