Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,
[The Lord speaks.....]
My children, will you hear Me? In the way that I would come to you? Do you accept the fact that your prayer does not rise like steam from a pot, only to condense on its top and return from whence it came? Do you not think that I not only HEAR prayer, but answer? Would you resist your God? Would you control My Tongue?Children, O little children, I DO Love you. And I DO speak to you. I am speaking now of how I speak to you in YOUR heart. For you HAVE heard Me there. Can you believe that?
Since a babe, you have been taught of prayer. That it is our conversation. Did you not think *I* would converse? To some I speak directly. To others, by actions, little signs--signals of My Presence there. Often do I work through the heart of another. Be aware of Me. I am Everywhere. I am God. And I not only HEAR your prayer, I ANSWER you as well.
Let us look at Esther. [reference to today's first reading] Alone in the palace, she could turn only to Me for assistance. And I blessed her. She obeyed My advice to her. And My Will was done. Now that is what I would speak to you about: obedience.
Children, you pray. You ask. And I guide. I answer. Do you follow the lead I have given to you? If you obey, then you have done My Will. If you do YOUR will, then, why did you pray? O children! I see the sincerity in your heart. Or the lack of it.
My Way is not your way. Will you trust that My Way will have completion, fruition? My Time is not your time. Would YOU tell ME what to do and when? Do you not trust that I, Who am God, can do all things? Listen to Me, lambs, the Journey of Life is just that.....a lifetime. And until your last breath, My Will is done. And then, for all eternity.
Prayer! Too many come to Me and then leave. O children, did you not know that what I Desire is Relationship? A time of BEING, you and I, TOGETHER? You have heard that you are My Hands and Feet. Well then, BE in Me, will you? Let us be One. You in Me and I in you. That is My Desire, afterall. What is prayed for will be accomplished according to My Will and within My Vision! The scope of My Sight is much broader, more piercing than your own. Leave My Vision to Me. I will Grace you with it at the proper Moment. In the meanwhile, be satisfied with where you are in Me. Yearn for Me, but know that I will let you advance at the Perfect Time. My Time is Perfect. I am Perfect. I am God.
Faith. Just what is it that you believe? Do you believe Me? Do you believe My Word? Do you Trust Me? Do you Love Me? All virtue rendered to Me must be in coordination with the other. One cannot stand alone. Not now, while all is in place. Yes, all things in Love, most especially now, while all things exist. And that is where you are, children. IN the world but not of it. Will your rise into My Hands? Or are you to condense and return to the earth? I use Parable. I always have. And you will learn if you truly are in Me. But if you resist, then you see this as a writing technique either pleasing or unpleasing. But you do not find Me! What has changed?
Let him with ears hear. Let him with eyes see. What shall you hear? You or Me. What shall you see? You or Me? My child, let us close with this prayer:
Little lamb, I lift you to God.
Little lamb, be a sacrifice, your own.
Little lamb, lift your heart.
For it shall be received into the Hands of God.
Little lamb, know this: I hear your bleating.
Little lamb, know this: you hear Me.
Little lamb, I Love you.
Little lamb, be Mine.Now, I ask you: What sort of prayer is that? If prayer is your conversation with God, then My Own conversation with you is prayer! Sweet things! Come to Me. Let our union be prayer. Let the motion be prayer. Let your LIFE be prayer. Of you in Me and I in you. Amen. +

With Love, in the Two Hearts,
