Sunday, January 3, 1998Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,
[Jesus speaks.....]
My sweet things, hear Me! There is a cry throughout the land: All hail, the King of the Jews! And hear further still: We have come from afar. We have seen His Star in the East and we have followed it. And hear still: O kindly sir, I ask you, what have you done with my Lord, for I have come to prepare His Body and I find that He is no longer here! And again: O Master, grant that I might see! And again: O Master, heal me, please! And again: Lord, hear our prayer. And there is more; and I have heard the whole of it.O children, I challenge you: What is it that YOU are searching for? Do you recognize it when you find it? Are you satisfied at what it is that you find? Many have sought Me. Many still do. But your hearts must be opened to be changed. And your hearts must be changed to be opened. You must be willing to accept Me as I am.....how it is you find Me in your moment. Do not try to see Me through another's eyes, but through your own. But DO pray that you DO see Me, as I am! For so many miss this opportunity, even as YOU have, along your way.
Remain pure and simple, childlike in your Faith. Lest, like Herod, you would secretly plot against Me so that you could gain or keep the power that so tantalizes this world and its flesh. Come to know that there is One greater than yourself, even if you should behold Me in the smallest of "packages." God IS with you NOW! Behave accordingly.
Search and search for the greatest gift. Yet, it is already here, hidden from your view, save a few precious moments. Here I am: the King of Glory! Yet, your eyes are shrouded within Mystery, from My Magnificent Self. And so, I ask you, with eyes of Faith, to come and gaze upon Me! Receive Me! Be with Me! Offer in Sacrifice with Me! Yes. In my Holy Eucharist!
Kings travelled from afar! Kings plotted against Me! Gifts of great worth were offered to Me in homage! Eyes! ALL eyes! Come, and behold your King! I am Here! Now! In My Eucharist! And the greatest gift YOU can lay before ME is your heart. Yes! I Desire open, loving, longing harts! For then, I can truly enter and rule. For then, I can truly assume My Throne: your heart! See, children, it is all about YOU! YOUR heart. YOUR kingdom. That YOU would come to BE in ME!
See, to follow requires that you are willing to journey. To journey properly is that you are willing to follow with eyes of Faith. That you would remain in focus upon your way and upon who it is you follow. Who it is you seek. That when you find Me you come to recognize Me, My Way.....in that moment of our meeting. Have I not asked you to focus on Me? Are not My Words placed to lead you to a True Life in Me? I AM the WORD, afterall!
Faith, Hope and Love are the Star I have placed in your midst. It has risen through your Baptism. DO follow this Star wherever it will take you. For, True Life has risen in your heart. And your journey has begun! DO bear the riches of your journey! DO bring your gifted self into My Presence! DO recognize Me here. For I am always before you. Leading you through Me to My Father. I have left for you My Body, My Blood, that you would come to worship Me, to imbibe Me, that we would become one. Heart to heart. One! Yes, one! DO follow the Star of Truth Which is My Life within you. DO be cautious along the way, for those who would deceive you. DO be alert to My Word, My Warnings to you. DO come to trust in My Word to you. DO be alive in the arms of YOUR Mother, Holy Mother Church. DO enter into this Mystery.
Can you not see this yet? My Word is ever-expanding to absorb you. O children! I am MUCH MORE than a simple child's story. I am not a little storybook, I am Life! I am THE Life! I am THE Way! And O, I AM the TRUTH! Come, enter Me. The entrance is called Eucharist. It is Here that I feed you. It is Here that you worship Me and give Me your gift of self. It is Here that I whisper to you. It is Here that we grow as one. At My Mass. In My Eucharist. In My Presence. Why would you seek another king? Here lies the King of Glory! In My Sacred Vessel, yes, My Ciborium. It is the Throne, My place you have sought to worship Me! DO raise Me up! DO gaze upon Me! See?
The King of Glory is in your midst! Come and worship! Adore Me! Receive Me! Sacrifice Me in the hands of My priest. Glory HAS entered humanity. And Glory can be easily found. I am here! Come forth, gentle child. I shall receive your gift. Now, let our moment begin. Again. Anew. Now. Amen. †
