Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,
[Jesus speaks.....]
Newness and renewness. Newness and renewness. Newness and renewness! O! How it is needed in you, My people! Newness! Rebirth! Change of heart! Openness of heart! You cannot yet see the wasteland in which you dwell! The desert sands which fill your veins. The truly empty thoughts which fill your minds, the illness which eats your flesh and leaves your skeleton as the only proof that life has once been yours. O people of My New Jerusalem! O people of My Israel! You should be weeping for yourselves, and instead, you are lauding upon yourselves the riches of the world. You are like harlots, bedecked with jewels. You have forgotten the value in True Love. You allow the baseness of sexual pleasure to rule your minds. Yet.....I look upon you and find Myself attracted to your banal sinfulness, for in it I see the need of My Healing Hand. In it I wait for a sign from YOU, your desire, your Hope in all that *I* would give to you.O little ones, hear Me. I am Good. I am Constant. I am Grace. I am All Virtue. I am Faith, Hope and Charity. I am God. For all time.....beyond time, I am. And here you are before Me in your dead and sickly self. And I would heal you. I already have. Salvation is YOURS. But you must come forth, now, to live in Faith. This Life to Which you are invited is a RELATIONSHIP. A two-way street of giving and growing and relinquishing of self. For I have given of Myself and now, I wait for you. And I have grown in your midst from Childhood unto Manhood unto Death. Where are you in growth? Are you proceeding to maturity? Maturity in Me? .....And relinquishing of Self.....I have given My All and Everything for you. Not for your goodness, but that Goodness might be achieved by My absorbing your sin. For without Me you are lost, but with Me you are found. Without Me there is hopeless death; but with Me there is Eternal Life. Live your life now, that the eternity you gain would be in My Heaven and not a loss, forever, in hell.
I say to LIVE your Faith, the Faith I have gifted to you. LIVE what you say you believe. LIVE what you know you believe. LIVE what you hope to believe. I will give you all you need. Rely on Me. Relinquish self and rely on Me.
Include it, child, and end. For I have taught the lesson for today. Now it must be learned. Now it must be lived. Amen. (Yes, Jesus.
Thank You, my Lord.
"I must no longer concern myself about anything it may please my Sovereign Master to do with me and in me; He has told me that He will cease to take care of me only when I am preoccupied with self. I have experienced this many times through my infidelity, the outcome of which was the thwarting of my wishes. But I no longer have any desire but to do what He has told me many a time, 'Leave it to Me to act.' " ["Thoughts & Sayings of St. Margaret Mary" for March 15]
