Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,

[Jesus speaks.....]
Sweet things, hear Me.  I the Lord am your God.  I shall have no strange gods before Me.  Let your worship be only of ME.  Be on your guard, lest you come into the practice of worshipping false gods.  Your use of worldly possessions can become a form of idolatry.  Your admiration of another can be a form of idolatry.  All this which I speak is Truth.  And it is for this reason that I have asked repeatedly that you focus only upon Me.  Then, you shall see Me as the Opportunity in your use of this world's goods.  You shall see them as My Gift to you that you would make them a gift to those around you.  In another you would see Me because you pursue a Life of Virtue which is a Life, True Life in Me.

I tell you now, that as you do all I ask, as you strive for the Good, you shall be rejected by the world around you; just as you, prior to your conversion process, resented those who reminded you of your need for improvement, quite simply, by the display of reality of their True Life in Me.  Do you understand Me?  When you are rejected, for the Life you lead in Me, REJOICE!  Yes.....rejoice!  For it is a clear sign of your improvement.  Be wary of accolades, for to salute YOU is to deny Me.  And if this occurs, then it is for YOU to give all the Glory to ME!  For in that moment, I make you to be a teacher.  I in you, you in Me.

LIVE in the festival of Love in your heart, little ones.  Come forth, in simplicity, to My Sacrifice.....My Mass.  All festivals of old are summed up in Me.  For Salvation is the summation of all which has been taught, spoken, before My coming among you.  That YOU should come to ME is cause for the GREATEST festival of all:   unity.   For THAT is an answer to My Prayer!  Unity.  You in Me.  I in you.  We.  Us.  In the Father.  One.  But many will not choose to recognize your growth.  They will resent it, deny it, criticize it, shun it.  This is FINE, little one, because lived example is the very best teacher.

And so, celebrate.  Celebrate the growing condition of your heart.....a condition of your continued growth into Me.  That as you approach Me, I may absorb you.  That I may fill what you have relinquished to Me.  That I have used the clay of who you are, to mold you.....more and more.....into My Likeness.  To know Me.  To Love Me.  To serve Me.  Yes.....this IS a great cause of celebration.  That you are shunned because of Me.....O!.....what great cause for celebration.  Do not COMPLAIN, little one.  Rejoice!  Your heart is representing challenge.  And the Challenge is ME!  Amen.  Amen.  Amen.  In union.  Now and forever.  Amen.    †
