Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,
[Jesus speaks.....]
What is prayer, but the lifting up of one's mind, heart, soul, to God. But I ask you, how can one do such a thing if you willingly allow your heart to remain anchored to the world? If you refuse a cleansing of your heart? How can you lift your mind if it is traveling elsewhere? And your soul, if it is blackened or darkened by sin, how much more priceless will be our moment if you come forth to be cleansed, wiped clean, in Reconciliation before Me? See? I have begun with YOU! As I have taught: pray, yes; but begin with yourself. Afterall, it is to YOU that I listen.....no? And the connection, the instrument of the moment is your being; and so, let us improve the clarity of yourself, that your prayer might be more readily and worthily received. Yes.....I hear ALL prayer, but how I RECEIVE it has bearing on the true posture of your heart, soul, mind. Do you understand Me?Children, Everything in your life begins with the purity of your soul, the condition of your being. O.....I can sort out your intentions.....whether they are for worldly gain, or wrongful or unnecessary need. No good parent gives to the child, that which would harm. I see all, I know all. I ask your Trust in Me. I ask your Patience, for My Timing and yours are not always the same.
Yet, here we are in prayer.....you and I. You speaking. Me listening. Me speaking. Are you listening? Did you not think I would answer in the way I have chosen? Children, if your heart is pure, or becoming purified, you will better see My Way in all of our prayer. Our conversation will be improved. The clarity will be made more clear. It is always a matter of the Reconciliation of your heart before Me.
This moment, our moment.....how shall it be? Where are you, truly, within it? Where do you permit Me to be? You pray. You say you rely upon Me. Then why are you doing on your own? CHILDREN! I can see your hearts. You cannot hide from Truth! That which I give, will be given. That which I have said shall be, fulfilled. No man, not even the powers of Satan can put asunder the Will of God. Do you trust Me?
My Heart is the Respite for all mankind. In My Heart is an Ocean of Mercy. In My Heart is a Bounteous Grace. In My Heart is a Cleansing Fire, that you would become purified in Me, that you would be received well by My Father. O children! Can you not see that ALL is rooted in your Salvation; that Salvation is Me? You cannot pray "here" and be saved "there." Eventually, if not now, all things come into My Heart. For Here is the Image alive. In Me. My Eucharistic Heart.
Come, enter, be. Pray. Be reconciled. Be made whole. I am a God of Healing. I call you to a oneness in Me: you and I. That the oneness of all hearts in Me might become a reality because YOU have entered My Heart; because YOU are willing to live Here, to be purified Here; to pray Here: in pure mind, pure heart, pure spirit.
Love one another as I Love you; but first: Love yourself as I Love you. Then, the action you perform will better bring Me to your fellow man. See? A purified you, brings Me all the better, to your sisters, to your brothers. And Love prevails. And I am Love. And you are IN Love, My little ones. All by prayer. The improvement of your prayer. In Me. One in Me. In all things. O lambs! Do not reserve yourselves any longer! Be one in Me in prayer by being one in Me in heart, mind, being.
Being, being, being. Have I not taught this posture in Me? Love, have I not taught, is the all and everything of Life, True Life? Sinlessness: is it not possible by My Body, by My Blood on the Cross? Sinfulness: is it not a way on the road to Perfection, for none are Perfect, but Me. All are sinners, but Me and My Mother in your midst. See? All things have to do with the other. All things have to do with you. Have I not asked you if you are to be excluded from this? [reference to Message 791]
And so, prayer. What you ask shall be granted according to My Holy Will. And you will come to better see My Will as you enter more deeply My Heart. And how shall you do this, but by My Eucharist? And how shall you enter, but by the willingness of self to be rendered unto Me. In prayer. In Life. In lived example of True Life in Me. Do not doubt.....but come to be. In Me. Amen. †
