Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,
[The Lord speaks.....]
I am the Word! I speak! I resound! All over this earth is My Voice heard! Yes, I am noticed; yes I am ignored! Yes, people flock to the rally of My Word, but where is the Life, that True Life to which all are called? There comes a time, My dear ones, when action becomes your choice. A moment in which all you have learned, all you have read, all you have imbibed, becomes a Way of Life for you. My Way. My Life. And finally, you have begun to turn your back on the world. I say "begun" because this moment of turning from the world can be a difficult process. That letting go of worldly ways. For there is a certain security in its touch, its feel, the control. However, My lambs, that is a sort of deception. Because the Truth is in My Eternity, not in the flimsiness of this world's offerings.Do not hate the world, children. Love My Father's creation, but use it only to the Glory of God. What sickens Me, is to look and see you use all God has given, but to the exclusion of Him Who has made all.
Conversion of heart! O! How different you each are! See that some follow quickly, blinded in Love, trusting in Faith. Others follow questioningly, teetering on doubt, hoping in what they believe to be true. Others are so organized. Everything has a place. It is so difficult for this one to notice the distance, because God has even been put into a place. And the neatness, the tidiness of the situation pretends that all is well with God.
And so, I call you all, you each, to conversion. To let go of one thing that blocks your full entry into Me: yourself, your way, your doubt, your fear, your control of Me. That you might BE.
Where is this place of being? In Me. Where are you in Me? Ask Me. I will show you. True Life in God is where *I* long for YOU to be. Here in Me. This place which *I* have made for YOU. Not the limitation that YOU place on ME.
My Word is Holy, Fragile, Strong. In many cases, it is very reflective of where you are. My Word is Life. True Life. Living. Breathing. Food for the soul. Generations have been nourished on My Word. I give it, lest you starve. For so many do not join Me at My Eucharistic Table, and I have desired to feed you My Word. In the Life of My Church, the Meal is complete. Here, the act of being is more complete, more available. If you want Me. If you would have Me. To be in Me. Worthily. By admitting your fault, your sin.
Come and sit quietly in My Presence. Listen to Me. Notice My Urgings to you. Follow My Lead. Pray. Seek the Grace-filled moments. Children! You need all the help you can get. This Journey to Me is laced by the evil in the world with weapons which would destroy you.
Weapons of destruction. How concerned is your world with the prospect of loss of life which is destined to die. What of your souls? As you flee to save your life which will die, are you journeying to Me Who has saved you? Is the path along which you flee one of worth and of value, in your case before Me? Or has your soul died before your body's last breath?
This is a time of Conversion. A time of thinking and doing. Of sacrifice and praise. Of knowing I am here. Of seeking Me. Of finding Me. Of looking about you and realizing, finally, that I have always been, here. It is YOU who have wandered. YOU who are coming home. YOU who have fled when I asked that you follow. It is YOU Here, in My Heart, all along.
"Could you but realize what happiness it is to Love the Sacred Heart of Jesus, you would despise all else to Love but It alone." ["Thoughts & Sayings of St. Margaret Mary" for February 26.]
Come to Me, all who labour and are weary, I will give you rest. This time called Lent is so special. Let it be celebrated here, in My Heart. Here in My Presence. My Body, My Blood, My Soul, My Divinity, beckons you. Come, be Here with Me in This Place of Sacrifice, My Temple. My Church. I Who am the Journey, is here! I am the Way! I Who am the Heartbeat, is here! I am the Life! I Who am Constant, is here! I am the Truth.
A time of thinking, pondering, acting. Action, yes. Place yourself into the Wounds of My Body. Here I shall instruct you. Here you shall learn. Here you shall know. How much I Love you. It is Where I have been waiting. For you to be. In Me. Amen!!
(Dt. 30:15-20; Ps. 1:1-4, 6; Lk. 9:22-25)
With Love, in the Two Hearts,
