Title:  "SIN is the uncontrollable cancer which can rot your flesh and rob your soul.  SIN is the wedge which drives you from Me."

Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,

[Jesus speaks.....]
There is Glory in Heaven over the return of one repentant heart.  But there SHOULD be myriads flocking to My Side.  Children, when you were stripped from the Garden of Eden, so too, was your clear vision stripped.  But the Grace of Clear Vision is available now, to each of you who would gaze upon My Cross, who would embrace My Cross, who would enter My Cross, die with Me in My Cross and rise again in the Grace of Baptism.  All darkness which would enter your being from that moment on, is by your own choosing:  your first outreach into sin.  And yet, I offer to you My Forgiveness, your ability to full Reconciliation in Me.  I see the torments of this world, and so, I give to you My Perfect Meal, My Body, My Blood.  I give to you My Mother; I give to you My Spouse, My Church.  Where you choose to be, or not, in all which I give is where you are in Me.  And if you have chosen to be in Me, I invite you to become more and more full in Me.  If you have chosen to resist Me, I say that the burden is upon you.  For you have chosen the burden of sin, rather than the Light of Truth Who is Me.  Woe to you!  Woe to you!  Woe to you!

Yet.....Glory awaits your repentant heart.  How can I deprive you of Me when I Love you so much?

The reality is that sin deprives you of a Life in Me.  The reality is that though tempted, you are the one who chooses to sin.  The reality, dire reality, is that you are the one to control, use your free will.  You can maintain your own control, or abandon yourself in Love to Me Who is Love.  Or you can abandon yourself to evil.  The CHOICE, lambs, is YOURS!  Shall you grow in Life, True Life?  Or shall you rot, sin by sin, in the shadow of Satan?

SIN is the uncontrollable cancer which can rot your flesh and rob your soul.  SIN is the wedge which drives you from Me.  But it is YOU who chooses to sin.  Let there be no excuse!  YOU  HAVE  FREE  WILL.  How you use the life which you have is your own choice.  BUT, there is a right choice and a wrong choice.  I am the Right Choice Who waits for your free-willed decision to come and follow Me.  For in Me there is Victory.  And to have Victory, you must run the race of your life.

O!  I would scoop you up and save your despair!  O!  I would scoop you up because I Love you!  But I Love you even more than that; and so, by My Father's Will do I leave you to live within the Gift of Life which you have.  And so, I have rendered to My Father, in your behalf, MY Life, that YOU may have Life Everlasting.  Because I Love you.  .....SO much!  And because I Love Him more, and I would please My Father's Will.  And so, through Me, Oneness in My Father is Reality.

Would that you listen to My Word.  Would that you absorb My Word, come to BE My Word, come to LIVE in My Word.  I graft you to My Very Self, this Vine Who I am.  I give you My Body.  I give you My Blood.  I give you My Breath.  I give you My Father.  I give you My Mother.  I give you My Self.

I give you My Hand.  Come, follow Me.  Amen.    †
