Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,
[Jesus speaks.....]
My people! Will you understand the power of your God? Will you hear My Voice? Will you obey Me? Will you truly, LIVE My Word? Will you take heed of the warning? The suffering of those who have gone before you? Suffering because they did not heed My Word? Physical suffering is nothing compared to the suffering and anguish of a heart. [I turned to pray to the Holy Spirit and Holy Mother for a certain discernment, and then I heard our Blessed Mother speak.....]Child, I shall speak this day. (Holy Mother! Your voice! So sweet. Hello, my Mother!) Child, you greet me? (Yes, my Holy Mother.) [We have just begun to converse when my youngest son enters the room for an early breakfast. I ask permission to pause and Holy Mother says I may take care of "her son."]
O daughter, and lambs of my Son, hear the voice of your Mother. I stand in silence many a day and I see my Son weep for you. Do you know what it does to the heart of a Mother to see her Son cry? To cry for years? To cry for centuries? To cry for almost 2000 years?.....For I have not witnessed His lament before He came to make my womb the Temple of God.
My children, would you not listen to the breaking heart of your Mother? Would not my tears cause you to change your ways? Children, my Son is the Son of God. He Desires only the very best for you. Even in the face of a desperate cross, He will Grace you with all that you need. O little children, DO come to see with the Eyes of God! He has already Graced you, little ones. His Arms of Love Embrace you. But to know these things, you must be willing to put aside the things of this world into their rightful place. NOTHING comes ahead of God, little ones. NOTHING!
When you bow before Him, you must examine what is still before you, before which you bow. For the ways of the world and the things of this world are hard to part with. But it is where your heart is before God, that is paramount, my little children.
Know this, little ones of God who are my children as well, there are embedded objects in your hearts. I ask you to pray to my Holy Spouse, the Most Holy Spirit, that you would be healed. For the most important and lasting healing is that of your heart.
Look now, and listen to these words of your Mother. May I tell you that I accompany my Son on His Journey to bring you safely Home? And see? My Son is with you constantly. But you do not come to visit Him often enough, or at all. Yes, I see some of you in attendance, but your numbers are all too few. Do you hear the words you pronounce? At every Mass? At every Eucharistic Feast? "Say but the Word and I shall be healed." Little children, do you try to truly hear His Word to you? Do you permit the Will of God to heal you by relinquishing your own will to Him?
O little lambs, my lambkins, I know that this is very difficult. Because a will is such an expansive thing. So let us look at why you would not give to Jesus, your will.
Are you afraid of what He might do to you? He would only be able to Love you more; for right now, some of His Love for you slides over you and falls away for the angels to scoop up because you refuse to be fully open to Him. Yes, little ones, your will is a holy gift from God. And He shall never take it from you. But to hide yourself from God is a truly foolish activity. He sees all that you do. He has seen you for all time. He sees you even now in all Eternity.
Come, walk with me. Let me help you to understand how it is to say "yes" to God. Little lambs, I am a human just like you. It is the increase of Grace which has changed my soul. I, too, live in bowed reverence before God. Even now. And forever. Come here. I will take your hand and let you stand beside me. Let us, together, bow before God. Do you know what, children? He will accept the littlest gift from you. A part of your will. A glance from you. A wink. A bow. O! How God Loves your heart! How I want to show you all the Glory of Him. But children, there are some things a Mother just cannot do. For in the Wisdom that God places in the heart of a Mother, comes the knowledge that her child must taste of life on his or her own. And so, yes. I stand silently and I pray for you. I will help you if you ask. But I can see that right now you want to try this on your own.
Your Mother lets go of your hand. That you might learn the balance to be able to walk steadily, on feet grounded in Faith. O, but my child! I am HERE! I can never let go of my sight of you. For *I* am your Mother. And if you but call, I shall rush to your side. And if you should ever want to meet with me, I shall tell you where we can meet.
I stand next to my Son at His Tabernacle. For He is my Son. Yes, this Eucharistic Lord. Here I am. For the heart of every mother is always with her child. I am you Mother. I give you my heart. Would you like to please your Mother? Then follow my Son, Jesus. Concern yourself not, with what you would give to Him. Just follow Him. And you will be transformed.
O my son; O my daughter, I Love you. From His Cross. Now and forever. Amen. [And then, smiling with Love, Blessed Mother says.....] Sweet things.....you are MY sweet things, too!
