First Friday, May 1, 1998Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,
[The Lord speaks....]
And on the seventh day, I rested, for I had seen that My Work was Good. O children! Do be in work for Me. That when YOU rest, it is because you have done MY Good! There is such value in the service you perform for Me. But let us be sure that what you do will be My Will. For then what you accomplish IS very good!O lambs! Have you not heard? I am the Word of God. And when I send out My Word it does not come back void. I accomplish all I intend. Why? Because when I send out My Word, it is on the Breath of God. The Holy Spirit! Yes! Do all within My Spirit!
Children, do you ever sense that you have already done, spoken, My Word? Children of time, that is because I have breathed upon you before you were born. As Creation was born, My Word has gone forth. As Creation was born, you were visible in My Eyes. Have I not spoken to you of union? To BE in Me? So, in that place of union, we are sometimes, utterly.....One! Your word, My Word are One! In a pure moment we are One! Yes! I permit this! For, I have invited you, afterall.
So, now you are about My Work. Give Praise to My Father! Let us focus upon Him Who has made all things! For to focus elsewhere is a certain doom. Life Eternal is in My Father. The world gives way at your feet. Children! If your eyes are focused upon My Father, then when you meet Him in one another, you will more quickly recognize His Presence there. Abraham welcomed Me as his guest. Had his eyes joined the others upon the false idols of this world, he would not have seen My Moment in his midst! He was able to entertain His God, but could have easily missed My Moment.
Children, My emphasis here is that you would come to be in Me. To whom do you listen first? My creation? Or Me? The world around you can tell you so many things. *I* promise you truth. How often could Joseph have led our family astray, save the fact that his vision was always on God. He recognized Truth in his midst. Children, you MUST do the same!
Ah! But there are those who prefer the rattle in their own brains to the Sound of Peace in their midst. Do you know how I, Who am God, see YOUR opinion? Children, I see you raising a false idol up to a false god and placing YOUR own way upon an altar where you would rather sacrifice to your own intention than Mine. O lambs, I know My Words seem harsh. But they are Truth. See how you work for money. You sacrifice precious time for money you do not need. I provide all you need: A just job for a just wage.
You who have no work, I say: pray. Be in Me. Trust in Me that I would provide your needs. But child, you must then be prepared to meet Me where I lead you. Pray also for those who deny you just labor. For their hearts are busy satisfying needs other than those which I proclaim. Do you see, little ones, the importance of keeping in focus on Me? There must be a balance, here. And I am the Arm of Justice. All you do must be measured against Me: My Justice, My Law. I am Balance. I am Justice. So much is wrong because of the injustice of mankind. Free will all too often errs. Pray My lambs, that eyes will come to see the error of their ways. I will signal them in their hearts. That they might know, that they might hear. But now, do not exempt yourself. In the end, little ones, the journey is of YOU to ME!
Pray, My lambs, for Peace of Heart. This is My Gift to you. My Peace. Come, labour in My Fields. They are many. They are Mine. Now, YOU be Mine as well. Be willing to render ALL things to Me. I am your Provider. You are My servant. Come, the Master calls you forward. Do you see Me in your midst? Or is your gaze fixed elsewhere?
THIS is the day that the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad. Come, enter My service. Render Me your day. I shall pay wages a hundred fold. Amen. +

With Love, in the Two Hearts,
His Sarah
