St. Augustine, Friday, August 28, 1998
Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,
[The Lord speaks.....]
I ask each of you to wrap your arms around your heart. Grasp the fullness of your souls into your hands. What do you feel? What substance? What is it that fills your heart, your soul? Are you truly full in Me? Or empty? Can you NOT feel the touch, for the hardness of your heart? O lambs! I give My Cross to you. It is a place to which you can come, bringing your imperfections, your flaws, your sin. For if you are to be properly prepared, it will be in the letting go of your sin, your inclinations to sin. If you are to be properly prepared, it will be by your rest in Me, your fullness in Me. Children! If you empty yourselves before Me, I shall fill you completely. My Life is everlasting. If you are to be fully prepared, it is in Me. What else could satisfy, fill you, as I do?O lambs, hear Me. I call you to My Side. To be prepared in Me is to walk with Me. Into Jerusalem and up the Hill to Calvary. It is to lay down beside Me upon My Cross. It is to die to the world and to rise in Me. Baptism in My Spirit is your New Beginning and your continual Grace. My Sacraments care for your every need. DO avail yourselves of all that I give. Each one can fill you completely as your life becomes open to them. My Graces arise within them. Receive those Sacraments which you can. Be open to the completeness of their ongoing Grace.
Children, it is *I* Who fills YOUR lamps. [ref. to today's Gospel] But you must lift your lamp to Me, constantly; the lamp of your life, the wick of your soul.
You are reading here. You are trying here. To grow.....to be, in Me. See.....the world is rushing to and fro. Its preparation is different. It is difficult to fill one's heart when one is deeply immersed in the world. That preparation shall fail.....because in the end, it is gone. Flesh rots. A soul lives forever.
In that unknown hour, in that unexpected moment, how prepared shall you be?
Child, write these Words: I come to complete you. I come to fill you. I come to satiate you. But you must each allow yourselves to be empty. It is the way of the world which fills you. It is your sinful nature which controls you. You must become prepared by emptying your sinful nature into Me. Come! Come! Come! I will receive ANYTHING you would give to Me. ANYTHING. Anything at all!
Would you be filled with the finest of Oils? Or shall you be filled with a fuel which shall evaporate when you need it the most? I have turned water into wine.....a wine more delicate than the world could provide. I shall take YOUR ordinary being and transform it. The Light which shall shine forth from within you is Me! If you allow this to be. If you empty yourself into Me. Be filled in Me! Be completed in Me! I shall fill your loneliness, your emptiness, your sinfulness. I am the Completion. I am your All and Everything. Come! See! The Bridegroom takes your hand. Rise. Come. Be. In Me. As I would be in thee. O child! I embrace you! O! My tender child, how I Love you! I would shower you with My Love. I would fill you with My Purity. I would fragrance you, I would adorn you! I would make you Mine. Come, join your Bridegroom, little one! I am your Lord. I am Holy. Come, enter the Chamber of My Sacred Heart. O child! I have Loved you before you have known Me. Stay awake in My Heart. My Flame shall guide you. Here. To where I await you. Filled in Me. One in Me. Amen. †
