Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,
[Jesus speaks.....]
Out of the depths, I cry to You, O Lord; O Lord, hear my plea! Let Your Face shine upon me, O Lord, my Lord.....Yes, children, I DO hear the very cry rising up from your very depths! I DO hear, and I open My Heart, that you might seek Solace, Life, Here. I am the Way. Psychologists would comfort you. I created the psychology. I am the Thought. I am the Knowledge. I am the Way. Yes, I am the Way. You are the sheep which must pass through This Gate. Shall you follow ME? Or shall you follow once more, world, flesh and devil? I do not inflict evil upon you, My lambs, but I DO provide This Place of Life for you to be.....to be Here in Me. You are never "no where." Little ones, you are always "somewhere" when you choose to be in Me.The darkest days are filled with Hope because I am there. I have understood death, dying, pain, sorrow. All infliction has ravaged My Body. My Mind is tormented for your every sin. All which inflicts itself upon you has already left its witness in My Wounds and in the pain, ongoing, in My Heart for you. I thirst! I thirst! I thirst! And I have been offered vinegar as My drink. I thirst! I thirst! I thirst! Come forth NOW, and quench My Thirst with your wounded or joy-filled heart. I am the Way. Here [Jesus points......] through My Heart.
Did you think I would leave you orphans? Did you think I would leave you to suffer alone? That lonely Place upon the Cross was My Own. And from that Moment, you are NEVER alone. It is, since then, we.....us. You AND I. Together. One. If you allow it.
There is a sweetness to be found in suffering. At first there is the taste of vinegar. But all gives way to the sweetness of thought, understanding, growth, in Me. You cannot yet see? Give your vision to Me. You cannot yet hear? Let Me Whisper to you. You cannot yet feel a true gentle touch? Let Me hold you. You are weary? Let Me carry you. You would cry? Let Me comfort you. You are alone? Let Me sit at your side.
There are many things you can do in a moment of sorrow. You can sink into despair. You can lash out in a rage. You can shut yourself up as in a tomb. Or, you can turn to Me. Children, if Life is going somewhere, it is to Heaven or to hell. Where you are right now determines where it is you choose to be. Heaven or hell. Shall you walk through this life in the container of confusion? Shall you become scattered among the weak, be governed by the proud? Shall you become distracted by the moment and not realize you have willingly been living in hell, here and now, so that an eternity of it will be accepted as more of the same? Or shall you seek for My Voice, here and now; even as I stand before you with open Arms? Shall we lift all of where you are right now, as a worthy sacrifice to My Father Who is yours? Shall we seek to grow into oneness, that the whole would benefit from the effort that you make? Shall horror leave its stamp, its mark, upon you for hell? Or shall you be signed by My Cross? Marked for Salvation? Marked, imprinted with My Love and your union in the Very Heart of God?
Children.....it once again, is about your focus. Downward on the world? Or upward into My Own Eyes? Down in despair? Or upward into the Eyes of Hope? Is your cross reaching outward as did Mine, to encompass all mankind; even while it is grounded in the bloodied earth around you, yet reaching to the Highest Heavens?
Father! Into Your Hands I commend My Spirit. O, little wounded soul! Join Me Here. Yes, at this Cross. Ours. It is the Way to a True Life in Me. Lift your spirit.....here, I shall help you. Yes. See? Now Father, see? With difficulty do we assume this Way. This Focus. This Love. Yes, Father. We come to You now. Receive our spirits, Father. YOU are our Home, Father. There is no sense elsewhere, Father. I am soiled, beaten, bloodied, Father. I feel alone. I cannot breathe, Father. And the taste upon My Lips is the bitterness of life. But Father, I look to You......WE look to You. See us, Father, entering This Gate where Suffering becomes Glory. Receive our spirits, Lord. Let us be One, Lord. As You are in Me, as I am in You. As they are in Us. It is the Purpose of My going among them, Father. That we would be one. O Father! Receive their spirits! They are tired and torn from the battle of life. O Shepherd Who I am.....Come forth, O sheep who I know! My Father awaits us! His Home is Hope. My Hand is Gentle Love. Live and BELIEVE, little ones! THIS is the Gate! THIS is the Life! Heaven is your home! Move forward. Come, follow Me. Be one in Me. Now. And forever. And ever. Amen. I Love you, lambs. And I bless you. Now. And forever. Amen. I am Jesus. Son of God. Your Shepherd. Your Saviour. Your Lover. Your Friend. Your Brother. Your Way. Your Gate. Your Path to Glory. Marked by My Blood. Dampened with your tears. Here. Together. Now. We. Us. Amen. †
