Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,

[Jesus speaks]
To whom I give Life, I give Breath.  To whom I give Breath, I expect Life.  A soul is an ever-expanding thing into which more Life will be breathed by your actions, your ways, your manner, your thoughts.  You are whole and complete in Me  and this cannot be achieved by stagnation.  It cannot be achieved by your lack of growth in Me.  Growth in the world is but the beginning.  Growth in the world can assist you in your growth in Me or it can stifle, even kill your soul.  It is all a matter of where you are in Me.  If the world is to be peeled away, then why would you immerse yourself in the world, to the exclusion of Me?  Why would you permit more and more of the world, and less and less of Me?  Make sure, children, that your investment is in order, in order in ME!

I do not ask you to build a mountain when you are only capable of forming a mole hill.  Yet, with Faith, mountains can be moved!  So, what are we to do with you?  I say it again:  Focus on Me!  How often your eyes are rapt in the world!  Media fills your eyes more than Me!  For you to recognize what is truly important, you must truly come to know Me.  If you do not take the time, you never shall know Me.  In the End, you shall recognize importance, but then it will be too late!  There will be nothing more for you to do as you receive My Judgment.  Do you understand Me yet?

I have seen you created in My Image.  You are the unique child of God to whom all talents you need have been given you.  You are your own buried treasure in all too many cases.  Learn now.  See now what has happened to the servant who did not make use of what had been given to him!  Yet, the others who were given more, produced more.  And to them I have said I now expect more.  Because Life in Me is just that.....Life!  It is for you to decide to Live in Me or decay in the field of ordinary life.  It is one thing to be willing to die to self for My Sake.  It is quite another to die and rot away.

Children, some of you have built skyscrapers that almost reach to My Heavens.  But it is the soul who Lives an Active Life in Hope, Faith and Charity who sails to the Heights in My Kingdom.  Where, O child, are you?

I call you children, I call you lambs.  Be small that I might be great, even as you permit My Greatness to be apparent within you.  Nothing Good is achieved by you without Me, lambs.  Your greatness is apparent as you participate IN Me.  As you Focus ON Me.  As you breathe My Breath.  As you grow and develop and increase in Me.  And as you grow more and more in Me, you realize more and more, your smallness.  Because it is your desire that *I* be known and that you be forgotten; knowing all along that though the world may forget you, I never shall.  God is in a Host, Eucharist.  Let YOU become an ounce of nothing.  And then, your investment shall be great.   Amen.    †
