Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,
O comfortable home! This book! This place! This corner of prayer! This knowledge that my Lord and my God Desires, Thirsts, for His people to talk to Him! Praise be to Almighty God Who stoops down from His Heavenly Throne to be among His people! Lord! You are in my very breath! Lord! You beat within my very heart! Lord! My blood rushes through Your Very Veins.....I have been that absorbed into You by the Power of Your Holy Eucharist! My Lord and my God.
I bow before You, O Majesty of my soul.
[Jesus speaks.....]
It is Sheer Love for each one of you which has drawn Me from My Heavenly Home to this place that I might become a one of you. Yes, My Father has ordained it and I have pleased Him, and I am Glad! My Heart rejoices. Ah, yes! But sadness has filled this Heart Divine as well; then, as I walked in your midst; and now as I am with you even still. For in too many cases, it was those who knew Me best, have come to know Me least. I place My Word into their hearts and they move it to their heads. They refuse Me; they cast Me out.My little ones, I Love you. Can you not remain simple and small long enough that you would taste the Sweet Reward of your growth in Me? Can you not see that I can grow the greatest soul from the very least among you? Has this not been done? Do you not call them "saint".....do you not call them "blessed"? For My Church, in Her Holy Wisdom, has given forth these who I have held and transformed in your midst. There, too, while in their lives, My Presence went unnoticed and worse, was refused. What makes them "saint", but the WHOLE of their lives. A great mind is not saint without the heart where he grew. The flower blooms in the heart, My lambs! The scent rises from the heart! The richness of who you are becoming rises in that part of you eternal, your soul!
Ah! The taste of that apple! The need for self-knowledge is so great that the fruit picked in error continues to stain your lives! Yes you are Here now in Baptism, but the remnants of the seeds of poison penetrate your hearts. For each one who refuses to grow in Me, you are thriving on a poison instead. Its bitterness is disguised, its poison made milder. So that you are becoming not a saint, but a victim of the enemy!
Do you hear Me? How do you hear Me? Holistically as does a saint? Or exclusively as does the world? Do you accept some of My Word and reject the rest?
[Jesus spoke with *great* emphasis.....] One God! One Body! One! No divisions! Do not be the cause of divisions! I warn you! Do not divide My Body any longer! I shall survive! I already have!
O children! I see your confused faces! You do not understand Me? Then go.....come to Me and pray! I shall enlighten you. Children! How do you expect to see My True Light without a prayerful soul? Your heart must bow to My Greatness. Let ME fill you with the knowledge you need to know! I created you to Love Me, to know Me, to serve Me. In the way I would be served. Be grateful and satisfied with the way I would use you. Do no more. Do no less. Your unrest comes from your own dissatisfaction of where I would have you in Me!
Sweet lambs, there is a division between us. It is your free will. I WILL NOT abuse it. You ask Me to spoon feed you. I can only do so much of this. Recall: your Life in Me is a process. I expect a certain maturity from you even while you remain childlike within Me. Children: It is the CHILDISHNESS which must go. There is a distinct difference.
Now look! I would absorb you if you would let Me. You long to receive Me.....then why do you spit Me out? The purpose of you receiving Me is that you would become more a part of ME! Not that you would mould Me to suit YOUR needs, YOUR desires of how I, Who am God, should behave in YOUR life. This is a story of the world according to God, not of the world according to YOU!
Child! For one moment, I Desire that you be tranquil in My Arms. Fall asleep Here if you wish! I shall cradle you. I shall wipe away your tears. I shall hold you until you give, finally, all your worries and fears to Me. Completely to Me. I would have you believe Me, fully, once and for all.
Will you continue to refuse Me? Will you continue to make Me to suit yourself? Child! I am God, and at times you tire even ME out! Child.....I am smiling gently upon you. Do you see My Warm Love upon you? I have come to speak to you that you would become more, a part of Me. Now I wait. I look to My Arms. Will you come? Will you stay? Will you grow? In Me? By Me? Through Me? Upon whom will you rely?
