St. Francis de Sales
Saturday, January 24, 1998Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,
"Recall often that Our Saviour saved us by His sufferings and endurances and we must work out our salvation in the same manner, through suffering and afflictions, enduring the injuries, denials and discomforts we meet with all possible meekness"....."The one who is truly patient bears up equally under trials accompanied by ignominy or honour. To be despised, accused or criticized by evil men is a slight thing compared to the same treatment from friends, relatives and good people. That is the real test of virtue." [St. Francis de Sales, "Introduction to the Devout Life."]
My dearest holy patron, St. Francis de Sales, I thank you endlessly for God's Wisdom which you have allowed to pour through your being. Pray for us each today, dear holy father Francis. That we each might come to see with such Wisdom---the Vision of God. Amen!! Thank You, O Lord, for Your saints. That we might learn more quickly how to come to You. By the reality of their lives, may we come to live in Hope, Faith and above all, in Love. Amen. In Love, in You, O God. Amen!!
[Jesus speaks.....]
O YES, child! See, child! You have uncovered the common thread of connection in My Word today. It is Virtue! It is Love! It is endurance. And I DO set before you, Sarah, the Lesson I shall teach! (O Lord! Yes! It is quite suddenly like a book which is being opened, upon which, there are words I immediately understand. As though, all at once, I swallow, imbibe, the meaning, the Wisdom of today's readings! Thank You, O Lord!) Child, what is My Gospel? (My Lord! It is so brief! May I record it?) That is My Intent. (Yes, my Lord. Jesus! I Love You!!)[Mk. 3:20-21]
He came home. Again the crowd gathered, making it impossible for them even to eat. When His relatives heard of this, they set out to seize Him, for they said, "He is out of His Mind."(And Jesus, THAT left me "stumped". Why had Mother Church given us this Gospel for today? But You have shown me, O Lord!)
[Jesus responds.....]
Love is the Greatest Virtue. For I am above all else, Love! I have done all and everything for Love. I have been insulted for the Sake of Love. I have grieved for Love! I have died for Love! I have done all things for the Love of My Father! That those who Loved Me the most could not understand My Ways, caused Me grief, yes. But to Love, more! For in Me, all things increase the Value of Love! In Me, all things are raised up on High through Love. In Love, I am blind to the forces of the enemy which would suffer and divide My people. [I received a phone call at such an early hour.....] Child, let us continue. (Yes, Lord!!)Children, see how those who think they "know" you most, in fact, know the least. Yet, it is their Love for you which causes their care. So, Love all who Love you. Even if their way of Love in that moment does not meet with your desire. Love. Meet Love with Love, and Truth shall prevail!
See the weeping David! How he has wept for the loss he has suffered! O! How he has Loved! His king, My anointed! His brother, Jonathon! See! How David wept! For he had Loved. He had met Love with Love, regardless of the way it had come to him! For his Trust was in the Lord! And I ask the same from you!
Even if the battles, the struggles in life cause you a separation, for a moment, or for awhile.....LOVE! Always, LOVE! HOW you Love may vary. But DO LOVE! For to be insulted is to have wounded pride. Yet to bear insult is to exercise Patience. See! There IS a difference.
Children! You cannot move so quickly through life, that you miss these opportunities for Grace! Seize every moment to truly BE in Me! We are here, little ones, to learn of a True Life in Me! Then, it is for you to abandon yourself to Me, NO MATTER WHAT! What the world THINKS, is only because it does not yet KNOW! For to KNOW is to willingly accept the TRUTH! And so I say, be patient in your Journey in Love! See, little one, your own slow pace. And you are Here, willingly, at the Feet of your Master. But, just as My Apostles.....you have much to learn. But by BEING in Me, you SHALL learn! (Jesus, You have at one time told us that by the world's standards, we are "odd". And those with whom I grow in You, and I, are quite happy.....we REJOICE.....in being "odd" for the Sake of You!)
Children, DO! Be DIFFERENT for My Sake! Should example be noticed, let it be for your uniqueness in this world. DO let them look upon YOU and see ME! My Ways are undeniable! Come! Be undeniably, MINE! Be in Me as I am in You. And let that BEING grow to be "our way". This Way. To True Life. In Me. Let the Loved ones insult you for My Sake. But Love. Even from My Cross. DO LOVE! For True Love knows no bounds. And Love covers a multitude of sins. And in True Love is there Unity. For in True Love the Light of Truth blinds all things which would separate you, one from the other! True Love. True Life. In Me! Yes! True Life in Me! In God! Amen! Praise BE to My Father! Amen! (I rejoice with You, my Lord Jesus! God be praised! Maranatha! Amen!)
(2 Sm. 1:1-4, 11-12, 19, 23-27; Ps. 80:2-3, 5-7)
[Jesus continues.....]
And daughter, you have thought there is nothing to say! Wisdom speaks! Yes? (Yes, Lord. You make me smile, my Jesus! Thank YOU for Your Patience with ME, my Lord! Deo Gratias! God be praised!) Wisdom Loves His people, child. Wisdom teaches until the people learn! In Me. In Me. In Me! Amen. +With Love, in the Two Hearts,
His Sarah
