Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,

[Jesus speaks.....]
Children, hear Me speaking to you this day.  I would speak to you of Splendor, for Splendor is the Church, My Bride.  Splendor is the Church, My Bride which is you as you are called into Me, made perfect in spirit by the Baptism in My Own Spirit which washes you clean.  Beyond that moment, we court, in  our Love for one another, as you follow.....decide to follow.....perhaps err along the way.....yet, return in splendid glory in your soul, forgiven in the Sacrament that heals.

Children, I know your human condition, for I am God, I am Man.  Yet I have not sinned, though I have permitted the stain of [your] sin to touch Me for your sake as I have suffered for your sin, died for your sin and risen from your sin.

I have lived among you and I have seen your confusion, the result of your sinful state.  I have felt the separation of you from Me as the need for you to be in the world would lure you from My Table.

I have said to be as children to enter the kingdom of God.  Yet all too many prefer their own thoughts.  Bowing  before God is not an option for them.  Submitting to My Authority is difficult for them.  Being as a child grows impossible for them.  Pray for them, My lambs, even as you pray for yourself, lest the same peril attack your own spirit.

Now let Me speak of My Church, My Bride.   She is beautiful.  And to Her I have given the Keys of the Kingdom of Heaven.  I have placed these Keys in the hands of My Pope, My Peter of Rome.  There is but one rightful heir:  John Paul II.  And by the Authority of My Spirit in My Church, the Line of Peter shall remain.

Within My Church there are ordinary people each growing in Perfection along the way, according to the Authority I have given.  For each of you, as you grow in beauty and splendor, Grace.....the Church grows in Radiant Splendor, too.

Satan imposes a strong battle.  For he knows he cannot crush My Church, but he gnaws away at the members.  I call for Unity, to build up the Church, My Beautiful Bride.  Satan would enter and dissuade some to follow his lead into disunity and distrust of the Holy Leadership I have ordained to My Church.  For Satan knows he cannot crush the Church, but he as well knows he can crush you.....if your focus wanes from Me and from Truth being fed to you through My Church.

Have I not said that the Gates of Hell shall not prevail against Her, My Church?  Do you believe Me, or not?  Would I cause disunity to achieve a unity?  Is this an act of Love?  There are ways to strive for unity, and all ways must be in Love and in Truth, which is being in Me.  The Church.....My Bride.....I call out to each and every one of you.  Do you hear Me?  Will you accept Me as I am?  Will you follow in Loving Submission within My Church?  Will you believe all which I teach you Here?  Will you cling to all which I have given?  Will you learn from your Holy Mother Church?  For the Spirit leads Here.  Will you dwell Here in Her, or will you, too, wander away into a land of your own creation?  Will you shed fear and cling to Me?  Or will you follow fear and become a child of the enemy?

Blessed are they who see not and believe.  Children, it is your time of blessing.  Will you leave Me now?  I have given to you My Church.  Pray for the members, yourself, now.  For each of you is on a journey to the Splendid Glory of the Bride who is you unto Me:  My Church.

Children, hear Me speak.  Hear My clear Whisper in your hearts:  the Church is the seat of Wisdom.  Perfection is an ongoing act of Love within Her, as in you.  But error of Teaching is not an attribute of My Church, because I have said so.  Do you doubt Me?  Do you refuse My Word?  The Gates of Hell shall not prevail against Her and into Her do I Breathe My Spirit.  Why would you live elsewhere?  Come, follow Me.  Amen.    †
