Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,
[The Lord speaks.....]
There is something I would like to say to you, My people. And it is once more, a question. Who do people say that I am? Who do YOU say that I am? Who is it that you have followed? This Christ, This One you call Lord? Who am I in your Life?Children, you live in a world measured by success. By worldly gain. By self glory: awards, rewards, accolades. Yet look at Me. (My Lord! Your Sweet Perfume!)
Child, it is the Scent rising from My Wounds. Yes, lambs, DO look upon Me, for you have chosen to follow a Glorified, yet very Wounded Lord. I have permitted it to be thus. Yet, you try. You come to follow Me. How many do I lose when suffering enters the realm? (My Lord, I recall when I realized that to follow You meant to be open to suffering, that I felt scared. That if I said "yes" I would follow, it would hurt. It made no sense to me, Jesus. Why would someone do this.)
Yet, you follow. (My Lord, by Your Grace. Jesus, I trust in You. There is sweetness in it, Lord.....Your Wounds. I Love them. And I rejoice in the little moments You permit Me to be in Your Suffering. There is a change in Me, O Lord. By You Hand. By Your Grace.)
Sweet thing, hear Me. My Wounds which I allow to be shared by those who Love Me.....I speak of individual suffering.....is the Way of Salvation. For how can One come to save you from sin, unless I affect a conversion within you, where a longing comes to be sinless.....to shed every sin that you fall to. Lift your sins to Me. They are your greatest wound. For THIS action I am Messiah. For THIS I have come to set you free.
All suffering is an opportunity for Grace. To feel sorry for oneself is to deny the full value of the Grace of Suffering. It is for this Reason that I say: Come follow Me. Be in Me. Focus on Me. That we would become One in ALL things, most especially in your suffering. Little ones, know this: I have suffered for you, that by winnning My Trial, you might win yours. My Wounds are Precious, like jewels to Me. And I see a richness in all YOU endure. I would bind you to Me in this moment if you would allow Me. Who do people say that I am? Who do YOU say that I am? How can it be that God, your Lord, has suffered, has died? Because God, your Lord.....ME.....I have Risen from the Dead. All is possible because I am God. And for you, all becomes a possibility because of Me!
There is a whiteness to your Life in Me. It is called Purity. It is called Grace. It is called Union. Oneness of you unto Me. Because you see Me, know Me, Love Me, serve Me. Ah! See! You have not only learned your catechism, child, you are ALIVE within it!
Amen. Alleluia. Amen. Praise be to My Father. Praise be to Me. Praise be to My Spirit. Triune Unity. Oneness. God. Amen. †
