Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,

[Jesus speaks.....]
This is a hard teaching.  One of difficulty for many.  Much progress is needed here.  .....Child, record it.

(Yes, Lord.  As You have said these Words, I have interiorly seen the image of the three monkeys:  "Hear no evil, see no evil and speak no evil.")

Well now, one can block what is in the heart.....yes?  The heart can harbor visions.  The heart can harbor opinions.  The heart can harbor all it has heard.  And great sin can be committed in the heart and at first, no one will know, but Me.....until.....you begin to act, live upon the wreckage of your own broken, crushed, sickened, sinful heart.  You cannot long maintain a sinful heart before it is displayed in all you do.  In all you say.  An evil heart will consume you like a whirlpool in the ocean.  Goodness and evil alike, can rise from a heart.  The process of your life in Me is to rout out all which is evil.  To identify the sickened parts and to bring you into reconciliation in Me.  To struggle is not sinful if you struggle in Me.  For this is a process of healing, healing of a sinful heart, and for this have I come to you.  But to maintain an outward appearance of decorum while your inside is a wreck, a rot of sin, is to deny the very reason for Salvation.

Each heart makes its discovery in its own time.  Pray, then, for yourself and for others, that you will be healed.  Pray as I have taught YOU to pray, little one.  [Jesus smiles as it is as though He is looking into our individual hearts.....]  .....Yes, YOU, little one!

I see the damage in your heart.  Give it to Me.  I see the brokenness.  I see the habit of sin.  I see its routine.  I see the death knell ringing in your heart.  But I also see your moment of resurrection in Me.  I see your moment of sorrow, of awakening, of repentance.  I see the moment of Absolution.  So.....will you come and walk with Me now?  Will you give over all which consumes your heart?  Or will you sit like a monkey and pretend not to hear?  Will you sit like a monkey and not speak what is aching, ailing your heart?  Are you blind to the sign of YOUR times, little one?

Child, the greatest gift you can give to Me is your sin.

How strange?  That I should treasure your sin?  Your foulest act?  That which would and does mortally wound your soul?

Look here, child.  The imprint of My Crown.  See My swollen, bruised, spat on Face.  See the sweat and toil of bearing My Cross.   See My Hands.  The nails.  They have imprisoned Me upon the Cross when I would have reached out to heal you.  And My Feet.  They, too, have been nailed to the wood when I would have rushed to your side.  And MY Side.....it gushes with the Water and Blood which I shed to the last drop for you.  But I AM Here, little one.  Because through the Cross have I risen.  As shall you.  And into My every Wound do I place your sin.  You are the Purpose for these Imprints on My Body.  And in My Wounds shall you be healed.

It is all a process, little one.  Come, let us start.  You are not a monkey, little one.  You are My Own.....a child of God.  Be raised up from your sinfulness.  Let us discover it together.  Come, be healed.  I would hold your hand in My Heart.  And in My Heart you will be healed.  Yes.....heart to Heart.  You in Me.  I in you.

Process, progress.....begin.  I have already seen all.  As you peek at the condition of your heart, know that *I* have seen it for all time.  And I Love you, still.

Enter this True Life.  It is a Life of healing and union, of you unto Me.  Let us begin anew.  Let us begin even now.  Amen.

Praise God, little one.  Let Me hear your heart rejoice.  Freedom from sin is your fullness in Me.  The Cross, My Wounds, is the Place of Healing.   Come, be absorbed by My Love.  Amen.

Heart to heart, forever and ever, amen.     †
