Title: " If you resent, it is because you envy. "

Fourth Sunday of Lent, March 22, 1998
Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,
[The Lord speaks.....]
What shall be written that has not been explained before? My children, I ask YOU. Where are you in Me on this day? Has time been reserved just for Me? This is, afterall, My Day of Rest. Do I not rule even on one day? If your heart is able to rest today, where are you in Me? And if you must labour on this day, where is your heart in Me? For we have discussed good works yesterday and I have taught you that all which you do has value in Me: where you are in Me. For My Goodness flows best from a heart fully alive in Me. How you ARE today will be a reflection of where you are IN ME! Come to Me, all who labour and are weary, for I shall give you rest!Why have you served Me? Because you Love Me? Or because of a sense of duty, obligation? If the latter, where has this attitude allowed you to advance in My Wisdom? As you obeyed, how have you seen Me more in your life? Or do you obey, as with hand raised in protection from My Might? Where is your heart in all that you do?
Let Me speak of My Loving Kindness. Did you not think that I, Who am God, would be kind to all? To you? To the other? Are you not satisfied with the Kindness I render to you? Did you not think that what you have from Me is all you truly require? Is it your right, or your privelege? There is a difference, child. For to resent what another has, is to break My Commandment. If you resent, it is because you envy. This is sin. It must be rectified with Me.
Who is the sinner? Look no further than yourself. For to accuse one another is to judge unfairly. I have spoken of judgment. I am He Who judges hearts. Leave yours to Me as well as your neighbor.
My lambs, would I not rejoice over your return to Me? Would I not rejoice that you have finally decided to return to Life in My Word? For see: sometimes you learn best by roaming in all you should not do, that you might better recognize all which must be stripped away. I have never taken My Eyes off of you, but I have allowed you free will. And so, you wander, you roam into such a foreign territory. You have not seen Me, have you? But I was there. In your heart. Whispering, hoping that one day you would hear My Voice. That even then, as you claimed your return to be your own idea, you have in fact, followed all the leads I have placed before you; back from the way of sin to a True Life in Me. So many paths. So many people. I am a Humble God, a Mighty God, a Patient God, an Enduring God. A Joyful God, as you glance My Way!
My lambs, hear Me. "Rome wasn't built in a day" and neither are you. I have asked that you be patient with yourself, even as you advance in Me. You are a unique creation, My child. And for you to achieve perfection, you must be clearly set on the path which is yours. Yours to Me. But I do ask that you develop your ability to hear My Voice, as I would speak to you. This can be achieved by observing some moments of silence. For if your ears are filled with the sounds of the world, you canot easily hear Me, how I would speak to you. O child! I am not a phenomena! I am your God! And prayer is our conversation. But I do ask for quiet time. In your heart. In your room. Ideally, before Me, in My Sacrament. Will you come? Will you listen with Me? For just a moment? A moment in Me can be worth a lifetime. Do come. And be. In Me.
See! I DO wait for you! As you wander. As you roam. That you would return to Me before the final hour.
There is a devastation in your midst. Who has listened to My Voice? Come follow Me. Come follow Me. Come follow Me. Let it be known, you are invited to BE in Me. And if you are already here, know that I rejoice in you, but our work is about gathering souls to be one in Me as well. Does not the servant continue to serve? Is it not *I* Who has wiped the feet of My Apostles? Is it not *I* Who has died for your sins? Am I not the Suffering Servant? Come, follow Me. Would you be spared? Or would you follow?
I Grace you. I fill you with My Blessing. Work with Me. Stay with Me. Yes, for all these years. That finally, they might see. That they might know, that I am their God and they are My people. Please, do not leave Me now.
Who will be the wheat? The chaff?
Who will be the lamb? The goat?
Who sails in the ark? Who drowns?
Who sits at My Table? Who leaves?
Who stays at My Cross? Who hides?
Who endures to the End? Is it you?Children, this is not a game. It is Life. These are not mere words. They are Life. This life you live will end. The body will die. But your SOUL! It is everlasting! Shall you be here in My Ark? Or outside in the screams of despair? Where are you on your journey in Me? Are you Here in My Heart? Or there? Children, where are you?
Will you answer Me? Will you live in Me? This is your time of reflection. Let it give way to a time of action. In Me. In Me. In Me. Amen. +
