Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,
[The Lord speaks.....]
Now, My children, I will tell you of how My Heart weeps for you
and for Me. Yes, the Heart of your God weeps. For many years.
Most especially, now. I, Who am God, have entered the realm
I have designated to mankind. I have spoken first, to Abraham.
I have spoken face to face with Moses. I have begged My people to
follow My Commands. They have built for My Eyes to scorn, a golden
idol. They have wandered. They have roamed. And regardless
of the physical distances covered, it is the distance of every heart from
My Own which is My gravest concern.
What has changed? I have walked with you and I have talked
with you, but what is it that you really hear? I ask you: How
far are you willing to walk in the Journey of your soul? How much
are you willing to endure for the sake of gaining My Kingdom. Amid
all the words that you speak, where are My Own? Where are your priorities,
lambs?
O people of God, I look out over you for all generations. What
has changed? Who is it that you follow? The protection of your
own life on earth? Or the yearning to be truly one in Me? Where
does the shepherd you follow lead you? Into My Heart? Or somewhere
around it, where you can still build the little securities you so cling
to?
Lambs, do hear Me. Look and see My Life among you. See
who it is that responds to Me. A leper sees Me. A leper knows
Me. A leper pursues Me. And yet, My Healing Grace must bow
before the law of Moses. [ref. today's Gospel] For the
eyes which so awaited My Arrival did not see Me, or worse, refused to see
Me. And so I wait. And I cry. I continue to watch My
people abandon Me, My Way, My Trust, My complete Love.
You take more time to comprehend the world around you and the world you
would create for yourself, then for one moment reserved just for
Me. For too long, I have been subject to the pinhole of space which
you permit in My Life. The Cup of My Justice soon overflows.
Lambs, in your day there is a cry for Mercy. And rightfully
so. O children, who would be rescued: will you recognize
your Saviour when He arrives in a moment of Glory? Yes.....you will?
But then, why do you fail now, to see Me in every moment of your life?
Do you realize that when you challenge My Word, you challenge Me?
I ask you to give Me all your burdens. Yet you retain some.
You do not trust Me, do you? I ask you to bind your suffering to
My Cross. Yet you maintain your own crucifixion. Children,
I sought no pity. I asked My Father for Grace. For you.
O sweet lambs! I send My Mother among you. To prepare
your hearts. Yet you prefer to prepare your stomachs. Why?
Because you cling to the belief that you know all things. Has it
not been said that I come like a thief in the night? Ah! But
you offer to Me that you must have Prudence. Yes! Virtue!
Children..... where does Virtue come from? I offer you Me, entirely,
and you prefer one part which you use to justify your behaviour.
Yes, today My Words are grave. But reality is grave.
There are those in the world around you who would intentionally rob
you of your inheritance. Lambs, you MUST come into focus on Me.
For your own sakes and for the sakes of those around you. You do
not know the power of Satan. He is swallowing My children, whole.
Let you not become his choice morsel. This is not a game, My
lambs. This is Life. True Life in Me.
O little ones, do not pity the leper or the least among you.
See? I am visible to their hearts. See? They are
healed. For they have given Me their hearts. The outward healing
is insignificant, My lambs, to the healing of your hearts. Less visible
to your eyes is this healing but, O, there is rejoicing in My Heavens over
the return of just one soul!
Lambs, do not let yourselves become overrun by the world. It
would do so, unchecked. It would capture you and banish you from
Me. It would tear down your every fortress. If you but let
it.
Now what shall you do? Where is your focus? In whom do
you trust? Are you Mine? Or the world's? My Hands are
extended. Come to Me, all. Come to Me, each. Come to
Me, YOU! I Love you. I wait. Let this be our moment.
You. In Me. Now. Amen. My Blessings. My Love.
Amen.
