Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,

[Blessed Mother speaks.....]
Sweet children of God, sweet children who He Who is God has given to me.....Will you permit me, your Mother, to speak to you of obedience.  Will you permit me to speak to you of being subject to God, yet willingly subject to the law which you yourselves make?  All which is not sinful has a blessing from God.  All which He has made has His Blessing upon it.  Your desire for social structure.....He has placed it within you.  However, little lambs, it is HOW you go about your structure where you all too often fail.

Now, for a moment, let us look at God.  Come, I shall tell you how I have looked at God, for I have seen Him in the Eyes of my Son.   Jesus, Gentle Jesus, my Son!  Subject to human flesh.....willing Subject to human flesh.  In my womb.  Ah!  The Sweet Life of God within me!  He allowed Himself to be reduced to the smallness of Life to come among us.

His Birth.....humble birth.  He Who created majesty was willing Subject to poverty.  Was willing Subject to Charity of the gift of a cave for His Birth.  The Lord God, bowed in subject humility before flesh, before Charity, Who He is!

His Life.....you know the part.....in the Temple when we had thought Him lost.....Joseph and I found Him.....teaching the elders!  For He was subject to the Command of God our Father to teach.  And yet.....He chose to be subject to me, to Joseph.  The Master was subject to our own poverty that He might learn to be.....a boy!   O!  I am in Awe of my own words!  Of my own life!  Yes, child.....I am in Awe of "my own" because this life, this blessing is all a Gift from God.  And I do bow before the Awesomeness of our God, our Great and Gentle, Loving God!

Jesus was subject to human flesh, to the very flesh created by the Father.  Jesus lived in poverty before the Law, the very Law given by Him Who is God to the great prophet, Moses.  O!  Jesus learned so well, so quickly, all which I had.....and Joseph had.....taught Him.....of our Temple.....of our Lord.....Him Who is Lord.....my Son.....O!  I live in Awe and Wonder and Gifts so plenteous of our God!  How great is He!

Jesus was subject, willing subject, even to His cruel death.....And why?.....

All great Gifts are from God for our use to bring ourselves and those around us closer to Him.  If we are subject to the things around us, it is because such poverty of spirit helps to serve one another and the strength of our own spirits, as well.  And so.....the focus.....our focus.....upon God.....upon God!  Yes, little lambs, keep all things in perspective and focus upon God.  Do what you do for God.  Perhaps through man or man's ways, but for God.  If what you do is for God, then your ways will be Gentle and Kind.  Love will always be, and if Love always is in our life, then so too, is God! 

God!  O God, Almighty.....I beg You, Lord, to permit me to help these children who You, in Your Majesty, have made to be my own children.....Permit me, Lord, to help them lift their vision to You, that they might see more clearly Your Way and their way within Your Own.  Thank You, my Lord and my God.  Thank You, my Lord.  Deo Gratias!  I bow, my Lord and Father, for Your Blessing Hand.  Amen.

With Love, in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary,
