Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,
[The Lord speaks.....]
Woe to the man with eyes, who does not see.....woe to the man whose heart is blind! Woe to the man with ears, who does not hear.....woe to the man whose heart does not hear. Woe to the man whose heart is dead.How could something so beautiful die? Have you not nurtured it with My Saving Rain.....My Grace that I pour forth upon you.....up from within you? O heart! Have you died for lack of nourishment? But, was not My Grace sufficient for you? Have you not dined at My Eucharistic Table: My Sacrifice: My Body, My Blood? A dead heart? There is no excuse. For I Desire LIFE! SIN produces death. Have you, instead, rummaged through the carcasses cast off by society? Have you preferred the garbage of Gehenna to My Glorious Grace?
Yet, here I am upon My Cross. Here I am in your midst. Here I am. Here I am. Here I am. In My Word. Where two or three gather. Here I am in My Eucharistic Tabernacle. Here I am on My Sacrificial Calvary, every Mass.....here I am. Could you not find Me? Are you still SO blind that you could not see Me? Well, come then. Grope your way to Me. Come, be led in the hand of another. Come to Me. That I might heal you. Touch you. See? It is *I* Who seeks YOU!
Glory in this life is My Gift to you. See Me! Even in Suffering there is Glory! It matters, though, where your heart is. Here with Me upon My Cross? Here at My Bounteous Feast? Here in My Confessional? Here in My Grasp, My Healing Touch?
O hearts! Do you realize yet, that you are a kingdom? A kingdom of hearts! And I would conquer you with My Love. If you would permit the fall of all your defenses. That I might enter and Reign. Heart to heart. You in Me. I in you. Oneness. We.....us, you in Me. Us in My Father.
O YES! HEALING! Healing of every heart! EVERY heart! I have come for EVERY heart! EVERY heart! ALL! My Heart is exposed. I would attract you, encompass you, absorb you. O heart, be melted by the Fire of My Love! Would you let Me touch you? Heal you? Really? Do you believe I have lived and died and risen just for you? I know. This seems unbelievable. But I beg you to believe Me. To trust Me. To trust to Me, your heart. For if the gates of your heart crumble in My Presence, then I can enter and we can BE. One. And you will be healed. In Me. And you will grow and be changed in Me. And with a sweet taste of My Glory, you will desire more, and, more, for eternity is My a Gift to you. Endless Joy. Endless Glory.
But let us start, now, with this moment. Let us start here. Willingness must fill the moment. Willingness must be what I meet in the sliver of the opening you allow to Me. I will accept it. And I will do the rest. It is for you, only, to BE. In Me. Amen. As you are able. Amen. In Me. Amen. In Me.

"I beg the Sacred Heart of our loving Jesus, Who is my only Treasure, to reward you out of the abundance of His Pure Love, for He is the Inexhaustible Source from Which the more one draws, the more there is to draw." ["Thoughts & Sayings of St. Margaret Mary" for December 4]

With Love, in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary,
His Sarah
