Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,
[The Lord speaks.....]
Hearing! Hearing! Hearing! How shall I make My people hear? I announce My Own Arrival. Who came? Who saw? Who believed? Who lived all that they heard? All that was taught? What have you heard today: the Wisdom of My Church. What do you DO? Anything? Or are you motionless. Yes, as the dry bones. [Ref. to today's first reading] I look out, now, over a land far and wide. Many there know of Me. Who lives as though I exist? Who knows Me but does not pursue Me? Who just goes through the motions; as if a walking dead man. Where is your spirit? Where is the Life I have breathed into your soul? Where is there evidence that *I* exist? Is it visible in your life? Do you LIVE as I have asked you to live? Are you LIVING the Good News you have heard?Have I not taught repeatedly to BE in Me? "Being" is an action word. It is a STATE of BEING! How well ARE you in Me? ARE you in Me? Are you, now, BEING in Me? Or are you dead, motionless in spirit? Are you alive? What motion do you make? Motion to Me? Or deeper and deeper into the world and the flesh, by the escort of the devil. I do so want obedient lambs who WANT to be obedient. There is a difference, little ones. Can you not see this?
Do you obey the law for fear of reprisal? Or do you obey the law for Love of Me? For Love of yourself? For Love of your neighbor? See? I have given a Law to improve you. To clarify your motives. All obedience must be rooted in Love to be true obedience.
O My lambs! There is such an opportunity for value in your lives! Do you not see it? Are you even obedient to My Law?
Blind obedience is a man not truly connected to Me. See the coupling of the dry bones to flesh and finally to spirit. What are YOU, My lambs, if you are not of Love? If you are not IN Love? Are you marching to a tune of death? Or rising, dancing, to a Joy of Life? There is a difference!
I would call you forth with a song in your hearts to dance before Me for the Sheer Love of Me! I would Delight in the sight of you, rising each day anew in Me! O, L-A-M-B-S! I so long for your love! Yes.....your sense of duty. It is very admirable! Are you marching to an obedient tune? Ah! But I would have you abandon YOUR sense of duty to come Here where I would nestle you in My Arms! Here, I would hold you. Here, you could look into My Eyes. Here, I would have your undivided attention. Here I could whisper to your heart. Here we would come to know what it is you shall do for Me. Then, we shall proceed TOGETHER! You will not 'perform' as I watch.....you and I will work together! I am not impressed by your sense of DUTY, child.....I am attracted by your Love. And how can I resist you when you have truly LISTENED, HEARD My Word.....because Here you are, now, in the Arms of Love! My Own!
Love!
Me!
Love!
Me!
Love yourself, so too, Love Me.
Love Me. Love yourself.
Love your neighbor as yourself.
My Law is not....."to do."
My Law is to LOVE.
Will you obey that?
Will you listen, this time?
Love.
Love.
Love.
Amen.(Ez. 37:1-14; Ps. 107:2-9; Mt. 22:34-40)
[And as I was about to close the notebook, Jesus adds.....]
To Love is to do as I do.....Amen.With Love, in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary,
His Sarah
