Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,
My Jesus, as I see You in today's Gospel, I look with those others gathered to hear what You shall say. And we hear You, my Lord, "Today this Scripture passage is fulfilled in your hearing." And I wonder, my Lord, had Abba created me to be in that place and time, would I have KNOWN, would I have BELIEVED, would I have seen You, my Jesus Son of God, sitting there before me? Perhaps not, my Lord. For so much of me is weak. And if there is strength in Faith, it is because of Your Grace and for all the Faith that has gone before me! The quiet Faith of all brothers and sisters. The proclaimed Faith of our martyrs and saints. The depth of Faith in my parents and spouse and family and parish and friends. O my Lord, I bow before Your Holy Word. I bow before YOU, O Holy Word! I thank YOU, Father, for permitting me to be. I thank YOU, O Holy Spirit, for making me to SEE. Amen.
[The Lord speaks.....}
One Body! One Lord! One Baptism! Many parts! One Body! O children! I stretch My Arms out over the entire Universe and I call you Mine! Wherever you are in time and space, you are Mine! We are one in the Spirit! We are one in the Headship of My Father! I would gather you if you would let Me! I would hold you to My Breast. That you do not see Me now, or just yet, is fine. You will see when you are able. In the meanwhile, let us look to My Father: Father of all. Father of All. Creator of all things! Children, do you know that there are many places your hands have yet to touch: so vast is creation. But before you and for all time: God is Present to His creation! You are part of a vast creation. But from it all, you have been Loved the most. For within it, are you, a reflection of the Majesty of God! You, Who are so Loved by My Father, are equally Loved by Me, by My Spirit. God is Love, and God Loves YOU!Yet, you are diverse: in appearance, in language. In where you live. Your interests vary. Yet you are ONE. And CHILDREN, you must come to look upon this oneness! For it is True and it is Real! Oneness of you unto Me, to My Father, by the cleansing Breath of the Spirit! And for all who are yet to hear and recognize the Presence of God: pray for them! Yes! They are too, a part of the Body, though distant in spirit.....their own, they are close by you: your desire, your prayer! See! There is a certain responsibility in knowing Me. It is called evangelization. It is called prayer. It is called BEING. That you might be more visible to those who as yet, do not see Me! For to you, much has been given. And much is expected. Do not be marked tardy. Worse: Do not be marked absent! For YOUR PRESENCE is very real TO ME!
My Love is Perfect. And I know My lambs. Even as most know Me, some must come to know Me better. DO pray for one another! Be My visibility to one another. Do not build mountains and then try to climb them! Come here, onto this playing field: and BE IN ME.
Look to Me: What have *I* done to teach you? Have I made it difficult and then watched you try to enter My Love? No! I have shown you the Way. With gentleness and compassion. With Love and acceptance. With Hope, offering to you a hand, Mine, to lift you up from where I found you. I have not intruded; I have invited! I have not DIVIDED you; I have JOINED you.
I look at you now! Come here. Sit with Me! Come! All! I require one thing: Come and sit with Me! All! Here! In this same room! Sshhh.....now, quiet! Let us just BE. Now. Here! In silence! Sshhh! [.....We pause for a time of silence, listening.....]
It is *I* Who has gathered you here, children. You have a longing to be in Me. Yes? And so, you have thought it was *I* who gathered you here. But it WAS I. So here we are. And I say to you now: In your hearing, the Scriptures are fulfilled.
I call you, My lambs, here into one Body. Mine. Let Me place you in My Body where I shall. Trust Me, lambs, for I know My Body well. Did you not think I would lead you? Here? Into My Own Oneness? Yes, you are diverse. That is because you look and see the differences! Now I ask you to look only upon ME! Do not look left or right! Look only to Me! Wherever you find Me, look only to Me! I will gather your peripheral vision in a manner easy enough for you to cope. Or difficult, if you resist Me. Trust Me, lambs. For I do not deny My Own Word, for I AM the Word!
I am the Way. I am the Truth. I am the Life. Do you believe this? Do you really trust Me? I ask you to DO nothing, but pray. Be one in Me in prayer. All else will follow! Do you believe that I, Who am the Son of God, could move the mountain you have built? Do you have the Faith of a mustard seed? Do you believe what I have asked you to do?
Come, follow Me. Leave behind your preconceived notions, and come follow Me. My Way. Not your way. Shall you opt for My Perfection? Or your imperfection? I have prayed to the Father that "they all be one." As we are, Father: One. Children! Do you not know that all prayer is heard? The Father has heard My prayer, My lambs! Oneness has been received on High. Now I ask you: are you willing to be a cell in My prayer? Are you WILLING to be in me as I am in you? One? Are you WILLING? To Trust Me? That only the best, the perfection would be given you from My prayer to My Father? Do you trust Me? Or yourself? Would you give Me your all and everything? Especially any residue of pride? Do not let the first offense divide us any longer!
Children! Love one another as I Love you! I command you to Love! Do you really have a choice, if your truly Love Me? If you really know Me? If you really are about serving Me?
Harsh Words? No. They are real Words. Truthful Words. My Words. Truth is calling His people Home. Here. In My Heart! Here in My Love! One Breath: My Spirit One Baptism: In the Lord! One Love Pure: Mine! One family: you. One Body: Mine! O foot: Do not run away any longer! Cease! Be! In Me! For the Body needs you SO! Amen. +
