Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,
[Jesus speaks.....]
Children of God! Yes! That is who you are! Children of God! Yes! Because I have come to attach you to Myself! Here, you are planted in My Side! See! I nourish you Here, bathed in the Water and Blood flowing from My Side! Walk away from Me, and I still try to reach you. Your feet are still stained with the Blood Which has fallen at the Foot of My Cross. Walk too far, and you are no longer recognized as My Own. Because the dust and dirt have coated your appearance. Walk farther still, and this world will have eroded any semblance of you as My Own. The footsteps were YOURS, little ones! It is YOU who have decided to rush to Sodom and Gommorah. And you have found welcome there by all who have preceded you. And you now prefer a meal of lies to My Eternal Truth. It shall be as you so willed it. I respect the choice you have freely made, but My Heart aches for the sight of you.But what, you ask, does this do for free thought? Free will? Yes? Do you not ask this question? Well, to stay with Me requires a free will choice. To remain IN Me requires a free will choice of self abandonment. You have CHOSEN to remain at My Side. To become grafted, as it were, to the Very Side of Christ Who is Me. And as we become one There, we share in This One Body, This One Blood. We become undefinable. By your free will choice.
Children, have you never observed the sight of a tree trunk, the bark of which has completely covered that which has been nestled to itself? In the same way, I would absorb YOU! Yet, *I* would make you flesh of My Flesh and blood in My Blood. I would share the Very Depths of My Life with you!
If you would pull away from Me, you would harm the whole. O yes, we will recover without you, but your presence Here has become one in us.....in all who remain Here upon This Vine Who I am. How you conduct yourself reflects itself to the whole. Are you becoming a fungus on the Vine? Is your independent thought causing yourself to die? Are you making yourself known by your outward appearance as a black spot on My otherwise fruitful Vine? Would you prefer to be a blackened spot on My Vine, than to be a vibrant leaf.....a well positioned tendril? Would you prefer your own understanding for growth Here rather than to wait for My Father's Hand in nurturing you?
What am I saying? Plain talk: My Church is under My Headship, and I am bowed before My Father's Throne, His Will, His Way. All who follow Me are in position to look to Me for all Good things. I give My visible Headship now, to My Peter, John Paul II. From My Peter are the heirs to My Kingdom, My priests, raised up as Bishops to lead My many, many followers. They who lead, lead for Me by My Way, through Peter, or they do not lead according to My Will. All who are placed in authority by word or deed, lead by Me, through My Peter. There is a Line, little ones. And when that authority is broken it is broken from Me.
The leadership of My Flock is an arduous task for one who is not in My fold. Do not lead My children astray because you prefer your blackened spot, here on the Vine. Your sickness may at first, go unnoticed by them who you lead. But I assure you, it is VERY noticed by My Father. And it is felt firsthand by Me.
Little ones, hear Me. You fool no one with your independent thought. To remain true upon My Vine, you must live in submission, willingly, to Me. If we share the same Blood, you would come to know what belongs and what does not. If you are sickening This Vine, I tell you, My Father shall come and cut you off. I will not forfeit My Body for the sake of your free willed erroneous thought. Yet, I have given My Body to save you. Will you remain and be made well? Or will you chance the loss of your own eternal welfare because of one self-willed thought that could condemn your entire being: the Life of your eternal soul?
My Peter is My Headship on earth. He has appointed due authority under him. But all must be in accord with Me. Nothing escapes My Father's Watchful Eye. And My Spirit's Life passes through the Vine and all who are of Me shine in Radiance. All who are not shall be sliced away.
It is My Word. You have been told. It is True. Nothing new here. My Word is Life. Imbibe It. Or chance the loss of your soul for even one act of self-expression which could damage, if even temporarily, the Vine. I am Perfection. You are called to be Perfect as is My Father. Refuse, and you have signed your own death warrant.
Most dead wood falls from the tree on its own. My Father comes, Who is the Gardener. And He sweeps away the brush and briar which has died. It becomes fodder and fuel for the fires of hell. O! That the Fire of Truth within you would burn brighter! O! That the fires of hell would fall into a smolder for the loss of soulful fuel.
I weep for you, My children. I weep for the loss of you. Yet for you who remain, I weep for Joy at the sight of you. Come.....let us pray for all to remain One on My Vine! (Eternal Father, I offer You the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity, of Your Dearly Beloved Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and for the sins of the whole world.)
"You have only to unite yourself in all that you do to the Sacred Heart of our Lord Jesus Christ. At the beginning of your actions, make His Dispositions your own, and at the end offer His Merits as satisfaction. For instance, you cannot pray: Be satisfied to unite yourself with the prayer our Divine Saviour makes for us in the Blessed Sacrament of the Altar, and offer His Ardour, to make reparation for your lukewarmness. Say before each of your actions: My God, I will do or suffer this, in the Sacred Heart of Thy Divine Son, and according to His Most Holy Intentions, which I offer Thee to atone for all that is imperfect in mine."
