Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,
[I was with the Lord, then turned to Holy Mother for prayer, and it
is she who speaks.....]
My daughter, what else can we do, but share the Word which is
before us. See! Yes. It is my Son! He is the Word
made Flesh, here in my womb. He has chosen that I would be the portal
of His Birth! The Sweetness of God born onto this earth has chosen
this humblest of virgins, so slight in His Holy Vision! See this
ordinary womb, which He has chosen to bless. O! I could not
help myself! My heart has declared its "yes" before my mouth could
proclaim the word! For the heart is the center of all True Life;
here where Life Breathes Eternal, here in this Breath of God within us:
our soul! Cleansing of heart is one need He preserved me from.
For, He Who is Holy has spared me the mark of Satan, evil, sin. Holy
is the Name of God! That He should do this to me who is His Perpetual
Virgin! And by His Grace, He has not spared me from my sorrow.
That which, in His Kindness, He permits to me. This sword which He
has permitted to pierce my heart! God, DO be praised, for Your Eternal
Kindness!
O little ones of my Son, do not be harsh on yourselves for the
sinful nature, the weakness that you bear.....DO SEE the Gentleness of
God! He invites us ALL to His Same Banquet Table. Here there
is no definition of heart, one from the other. Here, ALL are invited
to partake; but for the cleansing of your soul.
My Son has given the bath to wash you clean, my little ones.
O little children, be smaller, still, to the things of this world.
(Holy Mother! Your voice is SO SWEET!
You permit to me your voice!)
[I could understand the sweet tone of Blessed Mother's voice within me,
which I do not always 'hear'.]
Darling little one of my Lord.....yes.....OUR Lord, do know that
in purity you have come to me and in purity do you hear.....ALL that I
say, here and elsewhere. It is I who am permitted to speak to you.
The delicacy of this voice is His. The Words I speak are permitted
to me by Him Who is our Lord. How very kind is our God! Praise
Him, child! He is in thirst of praise. (O Blessed Mother!
I am in awe continually for this Life which He Who is Majesty permits!
Blessed Mother! I feel 'different' inside. So often have I
praised God and begun to feel like a jet plane soaring in the blue sky.
But now I feel like a sparrow. Sweet Saviour, I praise You and I
long to be one in You through the cleansing Blood and Water of Your Cross.
Thank You, O Merciful Lord, for this Gift of Salvation which pours forth
from Your Most Precious Wounds. O Father in Heaven, O Sweet Abba,
my Daddy Who is God! Thanks and praise be to You Who hold me as Your
child! O Father! O Father! O Heavenly Father! Simply
HOLD me, Lord! Let me whisper in Your Ear of my Love for You!
Of my thanks to You, O Merciful God! O Lord of Gentleness and Kindness!
I thank You for the Gift of Jesus and the Gentleness of Mary! Of
the Endurance of Joseph. Thank You, Abba, for the Gift of family,
my own. Of family in You. Praise, praise be to You, O God!
O Spirit Eternal! I Love You! You are all Breath and Life and
Newness of Heart. O Spirit of God! Cleanse our way!
Cleanse our hearts! DO bring us to the Cross of Jesus! DO let
us pass through it and be purified! Paraclete! O Giver of Life!
O Giver of Gifts! I Love You! O Trinity! O God!
O Three-in-One! I Love You! I adore You! I believe in
You I Trust in You! By Your Grace! By Your Kindness!
By Your Creation of me. Amen. O Lord! I Love You!
My Lord and my God! God be praised! Alleluia! Maranatha!
Amen.
Holy Mother! I Love you, too.)
[Jesus speaks.....]
The Lamb has spoken.....Do this in Remembrance of Me. The
Lamb has spoken.....Come follow Me. The Lamb has spoken.....Hear
Me and Live. I am the Lamb of God Who takes away the sins of the
world. Take and eat My Body. Take and drink My Blood.
Be absolved from all sin in the Forgiveness I give you through My Church.
Come and follow. Hear My Call. Come and be. In Me.
Come here. See? I have THIS place reserved just for you.
Do you see it? Will you sit and dine with Me HERE? HERE
is where I would seat you, not THERE. THERE is the seat of another.
THIS is your seat. Nothing blocks you but your own willingness or
lack thereof.
Think no thoughts. Sometimes they rob your soul. BE in
Me. Just BE. In Me. Please! I have begged for so
long. PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! Be. In.
Me. PLEASE! I wait again. I sigh again. Please!
See My Here. At your side. The Path I take is Lovely.
Because you would be at My Side. Give to Me all your suffering.
There is NOTHING you can give Me that I do not already know the sweetness
of, the aridity of, the sourness of. I have tasted it all, even to
My Death. S-E-E? ALL of My Life is a Teaching! DO partake
in ALL of Me.
My Will. This seat for you. Not that one. This
one. Here. It has been made to receive you. Feel its
gentle warmth.
And now, like every parent, I wait. For you. To be.
As I would so desire you to be. In Me. In Me. Amen.
In Me. Please. Here. Amen.
