Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,
[Jesus speaks.....]
The reality of life, dear children, is that you do sin. Your nature is fallen since your first parents. I raise you, I lift you, yet the stain remains! And for this Reason, I have given to you a means of Reconciliation. Always you can come Here to witness the Sacrifice I have made to make you whole, one, in God. My Sacrifice has opened the Gates of Heaven. And yet, you must enter. The Road is long. The Way can be narrow. And for this reason---your weakness along the way---I give to you My Sacrament of Reconciliation. A place of forgiveness. Of absolution. Of prayerful penance. Of restitution. So that the weight of the sin upon you might be lifted, absolved. Washed clean.(O my Lord! You have presented to me the vision of an apple. It is as though I AM the apple. All shiny on the surface. A delicious crunchy fruit. Yet inside there are seeds. Seeds which can bring forth new life, or kill. For within an apple seed there is arsenic. And so, Lord, it is how I use this potential within me, that truly declares the value of my life. O my Lord, help me to be planted, to give forth new life, and not to poison! O Lord! You have drawn so many "fine lines" in our lives. DO help us to see them, Lord! That we may stay in the boundary of You, or step over the binds of this world INTO You. O Lord! Grant to us Discernment, that we may know the difference!)
My child, Life bears potential. Potential bears life. But how it shall be, is determined by your place in Me. For I am not a God of cover-up, but of exposure. For truly, all that is in the darkness will come into the Light. All that would grow needs Light and Breath. All that is in darkness will be revealed.
The honesty of every human moment is that you are but a small seed. To be planted or not is your decision. Where you shall be planted is your decision. Do you find you are laying on fallow ground? Do you think I would place you where you would not grow? (Jesus, Jesus, Jesus! I come to You and I find [in spirit] that I have my arms wrapped around the Foot of Your Cross! O Place of Blood and Sacrifice! Jesus! You are my only Solace. Jesus, Jesus, Jesus! Jesus, I trust in You!!)
The strength of every human being is in the knowledge that life is as a place of constant renewal. Sin laid bare is as a place, a resource of life. For in ME there is no waste! Your sin offering to Me is as fertilizer for a new growth within you! In Me there is only Goodness; and so, your sin offered to Me becomes renewed and Grace does flow! See the plants in fertile fields! See that fodder and compost gives way to renewed life!
Be in renewal! Constant renewal in Me! There is growth in renewal. Renewal in Me! All that would be green, has its roots in the earth. I provide you Nourishment in Me. I am the Way and the Truth and the Life. I am the Source of Life. You are but a part of Me! That your branches are upturned is to give Glory to Me. That you sing a song of New Life is to praise Me. That you grow at all, is by Me.
Do you see, little ones, why I entreat you to BE in Me? To leave aside your ways for Mine? I am Perfection. Perfection invites you into His Being. Would you refuse such an offer for Life? True Life! Yes! True Life in Me!
My Love is for all time. My Love, in its expansiveness, is still unique and alone, just for YOU. That YOU would enter My Roof is the Delight of My Being. That YOU would choose to grow in Me is My Joy. That I might grow you and develop you and nurture you, by your invitation, is the cause of much Elation to Me. O little branch! O little tree! Be Mine!
You are part of Me. Look up! All along you thought you were an independent being. Yet, here you are in the nurturing, protected field which is Mine. All along, it is My Garden! All along, it is Me. I have permitted you to grow, and My Tears have been your rain! If you had only looked at Me, you would not have sinned. But so you have. And so, I have fertilized the field with My Blood. And it is pleasing to the Father. And now, we are one. You in Me. And us in Him. Look around you! See where you are in Me! Yes! You are already Here! And I rejoice at the sight of you! O! I wrap My Arms about you! Come! Enter more deeply! Me! Amen. Be in Me. Amen. Forever. And ever. Amen. +

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