Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,
[The Lord speaks.....]
My little ones, hear Me speaking to your hearts. I whisper to you here and now: God hears the tiniest whisper of your own. Even that which does not reach your mouth is understood by your Lord. Prayer is the most intimate of conversations: a heart in the Hand of Almighty God! A willingness to persist in prayer, yes. A longevity in Me. For, as we converse, we come to BE , you and I. I in you and you in Me: our relationship is visibility born in your heart. O child! There is nothing you would say to Me that I have not heard the echo of for all time! And for all time, I am waiting to hear your voice raised in prayer to Me. Our sweet, delicate moments.But let Me tell you further still: prayer is more than your requests to Me. Prayer is our intimate moment together.....a moment of being, one in the other. It is from this place that your Faith shall grow. For surely you would come to understand that your prayer is heard. Surely, you would come to trust that My Answer would be perfect, just for YOU! And, that your eyes cannot yet see My Answer does not mean it has not occurred. Pray for Patience. Pray for clear Vision that you might come to see My Answers!
Since before the creation of the universe, I have waited for our moment to be: of you to Me and I to you. I have waited to please you, even as I have waited for you to praise Me and thank Me, and talk to Me. O! I have waited for YOUR voice! Will you abide Me? Will you remain in Me? Will you Trust in Me? Will you BE in Me?
All things lead you to My Heart. The Heart of your God. Listen, listen, listen.....for I DO stir your heart. The way of prayer is varied. But to BE is the greatest form of prayer. Why else have I begged you to BE in Me? See? Because I Love you! Because I challenge you. Because I lift you up! All prayer should serve to bring you more deeply into Me. I have spoken My Word. Read and pray My Scriptures! Let them be an instrument of your walking to Me.
Daughter, write these Words: Prayer is the lifting of the heart and mind to God. And the act of being is My accepting where you are in Me. It is My lifting you up! THIS is the contemplative life: that you would offer yourself in prayer to Me and permit Me to lift you from where you are to place you deeply into My Heart. Now I tell you, that this is the Desire of My Heart.....and I would exclude no one from Me. For to be in Me is My ongoing cry, is it not?
Little ones, do hear Me. Come before Me and place your case. Let Me hear your cry. But likewise, let Me wipe your eyes. Let Me touch your heart. Do not control your prayer, but relinquish yourself unto Me. The outpourings of a heart are a grand gift indeed. I receive.....I welcome, all you would freely render to Me. And then I shall touch you and make you whole in Me.
Little children, look to the fields and see the plants with raised heads to catch My Sunlight. Now, be like a little plant. Let Me come to sip from your nectar. Let Me lift your head to Me. Come, catch My Sunlight. Its rays are dispersed from the Cross. Its power is in the Eucharist. The union is My Desire. Of Me to you. Of you to Me. Let us proceed. Let us be. Now and forever. Amen. †
