Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,
[The Lord speaks.....]
The Reality of Life is where your heart is in Me. I have spoken constantly of the heart. Where is yours in Me? Is it given freely? Is it retained? A part of you.....a part for Me? My lambs, hear Me: If you give, freely, your heart to Me, then what would be left of YOU? That you are willing to give your all to Me, will permit Me to give My All to you. Yes! Do unto others.....those were My Words! I mean what I say. Do you?O little ones, I do see the struggle in Life. I know! I have lived shoulder to shoulder with you! Priority: Me first in all things. Are you to think about a decision? Pray first. Are you to act upon a judgment, decision? Pray first. Come to Me in ALL things. Not after, when all has not gone well, according to your plan. But BEFORE, that all you do would have My Blessing. That what should not be done, remains silent.
Lambs, do you find your heart is challenged? Are you stirred by My Presence in your midst? This is good. I do not come to agitate your spirit.....to disturb you; but if you are, then you must ask yourself "why?" What is it within YOU that agitates your spirit when you are confronted with certain Truths? Sometimes YOU are your own worst enemy, because you refuse to entertain the Fullness of My Truth. I place this ability for self-examination within you, though, that you might grow within Me. You do not recall the pain of your birth. You do not remember why you cried. Birth can be painful. But look at what LIFE comes forth!
There is an interior Light within each one of you. It is My Truth. I reside there.....in you. I am Brilliant within you in the waters of Baptism. I remain so, in you, only as you remain open to Me. Will you let Me lead you? Or do you prefer to be lead by your own direction, your own path, your own words? Where am I, truly, in your life? Where are you, and where am I?
My lambs, hear Me: Nations have come to decide what is the worship of Me. Yet in My Heart, I have given you My Will. I gave you My Law. I clarified My Law of Love to those etched in stone. See? There is Life: one on stone. In Me.....fulfillment: Life; Love! The stones, the tablets of the Law, ALIVE in Me. Faith, too, must be LIVING. Abandonment of self gives rise to True Life in Me. And the birth is a process. More painful for some. Easier for others. Innocent lambs.....either is the process for you: difficult birth? Easy arrival? All is done by My Grace or your reluctance to it.
Darling lambs, hear Me. What is the Law I speak of? Why did I call the Pharisees blind fools? Obey what is etched in stone. Obey My Law of Love. All else shall follow. Obey My Church. Obey My Pope, John Paul II. He and his successors to the Throne of Peter are Me on earth. I bless them all. What they have declared bound on earth is bound in Heaven. And what is loosed on earth is loosed in Heaven. Some things are in rock. Some things are Living and the growth is yet accomplished. But know this: I am God and you are not. Peter and His successors are Pope and you are not. I am Church and I invite you into Me. Will you abandon yourself into Me for the Good of the whole? Church is you and you are Church, but you are not to be apart from the whole. All heads bow to My Peter of Rome, even as he bows completely to Me.
Are you willing to die unto self? Are you willing to believe that *I* am Church? Are you willing to believe and live what you believe? Dying to self allows for perfect leadership, for I am permitted to lead. Will you allow this? Or do you prefer to come to Me with prearranged thoughts, protective ideas which you have accumulated to protect the offering you would deem I need? I want praise! Do not give Me what I do not need! I do not need YOUR law, I have given you MY Perfect Law! Where is the True Love in what you do? Where is the Praise? Trust, child, that I shall work things out. I am God. You are not. I am Saviour. You are saved. Be concerned about the state of your soul. This is the journey for you unto Me.
I Desire natural fibers in My remnant cloth. What do I mean by this? In My remnant, I would have you be as I have made you to be. Not the polyester [I understood manmade] thread you would choose to be.
My lambs, hear Me: Do not complicate your lives. Be willing to be as children. Simplicity. In Me. Trust that I can do all things. I desire hearts, pure hearts as the oblation before Me. Be at least WILLING to release all things into My Care. Trust that I will return to you what is yours to bear, yours to accomplish. Be willing to lose your identity unto Me. That you might be identified as My Own. Trust Me! Yes! Trust Me! Try it! You will see how very much you are Loved.
Children, I say this to you: Do not become as were the Pharisees. Their attention to every detail of their law prevented them from seeing Me Who is Perfect Law. They did not see Me. They were bound by the only vision in their hearts. They saw only what they wanted to see. And when they looked upon Me, who did they see? Who do you see? Do you see? What do you see?
Children! Come to Me as children! With praise upon your lips. With Love pouring from your hearts. One! Be One in Me, in praise in Me. Amen. †
