Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,
[Jesus speaks.....]
There is a mission for each one of you to accomplish. But I tell you this: unless you do all things in prayer, you will not succeed according to My Will. Children! All that I have done, I have done to teach you well, the way to be in this world but not of it. Children! I Who am God, have prayed to My Father incessantly. O! How I have sought Him Who I Love! And He has heard Me and answered Me. And We have been together in this world, even as I have always been of My Father!The lures and temptations of this world are great. The call of the flesh is subtle, like a temptress, calling you to become cast up upon the rocks of destruction. It is for you to spend your life in prayer.....Ah! I see the look on your face, little one! [.....Jesus chuckles at our amazement of being *constantly* in prayer, and He has encouraged me to note how He has noticed our reaction.] .....O, how you have misunderstood prayer. It is wide, it is varied. It is quiet, it is praise. It is constant in the heart of one who Loves Me, truly Loves Me. And what is prayer, but to commune with God.....to BE in God! Yes, BEING is prayer! What is YOUR state of being, little one?
To come to accomplish the Will of God, you must come to know, Love and serve God. And how can you come to know someone you do not know? So, I say: pray. Commune. Be. In God. That you might come to know Me more. That we would come to be one in the other. Our relationship is to be one of Love. How can you truly Love Him Whom you do not know? See? Life is a process.....How often have I told you these things!
Service: if your service is to have value, it should pour forth in Love from your Knowledge of Me. Being is a process within Life, True Life in Me. And prayer is how we are with one another. Prayer is our language, our words, our silence, our thought. Prayer is our moment. Prayer is our Life. "Amen" confirms all you say to Me, it is not the end of prayer, but the beginning. So be it.....amen. Amen.
The sun rises. The moon sets. But My Love for you is constant. I know you well. I have served you with My Life. O! How I long for you, completely! That our Love would be tender. That our Love would be true. That our Love would be complete: I in you, you in Me. One. Whole. In prayer. In union. Yes, union. Lift up your arms to Me. I shall absorb your Love. And in the absence of all which you abandon to Me, I shall fill you with My Grace.
Knowing. Loving. Serving. Being. In prayer. In union. Amen. Let us begin. Amen. Now and forever. Amen. Come, Love.....I would lift you to My Father. Amen. †
