Feast of the Birth of St. John the Baptist,
Wednesday, June 24, 1998
Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,
[Jesus speaks.....]
Into the life of each person, is born the Perfection of Who I am.
For none of you would be at all, if it were not for the Creating Hand of
My Father. Into each of you is born the Grace to come and follow
Me. But cleansing is necessary for the fullness of this to be.
The Grace pours forth in Baptism. Of water and of Spirit. In
many instances, My lambs, you have been washed clean of sin by My Gift
to you of Baptism. [I understood, the sins we have on our souls
when we are Baptized at the age of reason.] This removes the Original
Sin which has stained all men since the first fall. All sin is removed
by the Power of My Sacrament, yet repentance is necessary for each one
of you because your condition is weak. And My Grace makes you
strong. For all the things My cousin, John, preached, he knew that
the True Baptism would come by My Hand. And yet, his preaching for
forgiveness of sins: your need to repent, stands firm until this
day.
O My cousin! How I do Love him. O! This one who
has given his very life that I may be great. O!
How he knew Me! Even in the womb! O! So Great is the
Grace of God! O My children! I Who am the Son of God, continue
to be in awe of that moment when we met. He, in the womb of Elizabeth,
Me in the womb of My Mother! See, My lambs, the Life that exists
in the womb! I have declared it! John has declared it!
Thinking, knowing, Loving! Yes! In the womb! Life!
My lambs, DO hear Me. For all time, I have known you.
Yes. For all time. Before the world was created, I have
Loved you in My Heart. I have waited, for all time, for this
moment. To tell you now, how very much I Love you. There is
a purpose in every life, a purpose unto Me. How DO you serve Me?
How HAVE you served Me? How SHALL you serve Me? According to
My Plan? Or yours? Lambs, you must be WILLING to render
all that you are to Me, that we would accomplish the Will of My Father.
Look to John. See how he served. Magnificently, boldly,
yet hidden in a desert wasteland. It is not the appearance of your
outer being, but the presence of your heart. Where is your heart,
My lambs? You shall never survive even a trip into the desert, no
less your life, if you do not give, willingly, your life to Me. A
desert can look like a wasteland. Yet, see the life teeming there.
The life in a soul! Here, stripped of all the world would offer,
I can enrich you. I can direct you. I can prepare you for My
Way: the Way of the Lord. And do you know what is the "Way
of the Lord?" It is My Way. Come, be in Me. That you
might make ready the Way of the Lord. My Way becomes your way.
We become one. Here. Now. In the Desert. Here in
Me. Where I am the Oasis of Life.
If there was a fountain of life in the desert, it was John.
I called, he bade, he invited, he encouraged all who would hear to recognize
the sinful life and to come more fully to Me. Children, you must
be ready and prepared to let go of your sinful ways to be more intent in
Me. Reconciliation of your soul to Me is the greatest preparation
you can achieve. It is for you to seek reconciliation, but know this:
I see hearts. Children, there is nothing more pleasing than to see
you before Me, seeking repentance, forgiveness, absolution for sin.
For sin blocks you from a True Life in Me.
Repent. Repent. Repent. Do recognize Me in all
things and in all ways. Rejoice in the living example of John.
Yes, living. Because he who has announced Me, now resides with Me
in My Heaven.
Children: prepare the Way of the Lord! Your God expects
results: Your heart fully unto My Own. Listen to the urgings
of John. DO be stirred to recognize Me! Do be a person of conviction.
Be full in Me, One in Me. Know this: every life has value.
And every soul is Mine. Do come. To Me. Amen. Amen.
Amen. Salvation. Be one in Me at My Cross. Be one in
Me at the tomb. Do be one in Me right here, right now. Your
heart. Give it to Me. That I might make you one in Me, one
in My Father. Amen.
