Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,

[Jesus speaks.....]
The Cross is the Symbol of Christianity, but not only the Cross, but the Corpus upon it.  The Body is My Own.  Suffered, died, for the sins of all mankind.  And from this Place of Sacrificial Offering, I say:  Come, follow Me.....

O CHILDREN, do NOT flee in fear of what you see.  Come to know Me.  Here!  There is a sweetness Here.  I had not SOUGHT it, but it was always to be My Fate because I have said "yes" to My Father.  Yes, Father, to the all and everything of Your Holy Will.

Children, there is a place of looking upon suffering which can be a frightening place for you.  And so, I say:  Come, focus on ME!  Join Me Here, that we might be together Here.  O!  Suffering, yes.  But in Me, you shall have your eyes upon the Father, and in the Father we are one.

Suffering varies.  It is, however, a cross to be borne which can be borne when the cross is given from Me.  I do not INFLICT, My lambs.  I GIVE.  How you receive it is dependent upon how well you would BE in Me, which has been My plea, all along.....Has it not?  True suffering has a Glory within it when you see its proximity to Me.  I have told you that though I am Resurrected, I leave My Wounds open, that you would have a place to be in Me during YOUR sorrow, your pain, your suffering.  For you must  come to a point of seeing that all suffering, all sorrow, all and everything should be willingly placed into My Wounds.  For it is HERE that the True and Complete conversion begins.  It is HERE that Transformation is.  HERE is purpose:  purpose of every act.....IF you place into My Wounds your every action, word, deed, thought, hope, dream.  Here in My Wounds do I accept the whole of you, IF You are willing to enter.  Never be AFRAID of entering, lambs, for I am not a God of fear.....I am a God of Love and Purpose.

It is True, most especially in this day, that not as God sees, does man see.  You see ease and convenience.  I see all that it takes to achieve your willing submission in Me, even to your dying breath.  I see all Eternity for all time.   You see the moment on a head of a pin.  You see pain and suffering and despair.  I see the Glory it achieves with a heart placed well into My Wounds.  You see the ease of no pain.  I see the Glory achieved by the offering of your every moment into Me.  You see no difference in the slightness of your actions.  I see the hugeness of the difference, though each layer which divides us can be as thin as a floating piece of gossamer.  I see the whole.  You see a part of a part.  You are like little ants, scurrying around over a crumb, while the whole world is around you, racing at a pace beyond the speed of light.

No.....you cannot truly see as I see.  Yet, I give you My Wisdom as you are able.  I let you see as I see, from time to time.  And as you are able, I give you more.  But all of it.....you cannot handle all of it.  For I am God and you are not.....Yet I say:  Follow Me.  Be in Me.  Enter Me, My Wounds.  Be one in Me.  Now I ask:   How shall you achieve this on your own?  Be willing to grow in Me.  Be willing to be in Me.   Be willing to say "yes" to Me.  Be willing to open your arms with Me, and let us say:  Into Your Hands, Father, I commend my spirit.  Be     WILLING, children.  One breath at a time.  You cannot achieve one good thing without Me.

Glory awaits those who are WILLING to run the race.  Willing.  Willing.  Willing.  Be willing.  Thy Will be done, Father, on earth as it is in Heaven.....Is this not the prayer I have taught you, lambs?  See?  I am a God of Purpose.  Let not one Word, one Lesson go unheeded.  All of what I do I do for you that you would be one in Me as I am in the Father.  Be willing lambs, even as I am the Willing Lamb of God.

Can you understand?  Are you willing to understand?  Are you willing to tell Me you do not understand?  Are you willing to tell Me you are afraid.?  Are you willing to tell Me you are sad?  That you hurt?  That you are alone?  That you are angry?  That you are confused?  Are you willing to talk to Me?  Are you willing?

Thy Will be done, Father, on earth as it is in Heaven.  Amen.    †
