Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,

[The Lord speaks.....]
Glory and Praise be to Me!  O!  Precious children!  Raise your voices in sheer PRAISE of Me!  For the Lord, your God, has done WONDERFUL things for you.  And truly, HOLY is My Name!  I teach you constantly in the schoolroom of your souls.  Here do I whisper.  Here do I encourage.  Here do I perform the task of transforming you, as you permit Me to work in you!  Glory and Praise be to My Name!  For I have so much Love that I have a never ending Desire to share Myself with you!  And in Me, you become to be.....Perfection.  In Me.  In Me.  In Me.  My Way.  My Way.  My Way.  I DO make Myself obvious for your sakes.  I DO share Myself with you for your sakes.  For you are in great need of My Charity!  And so, I DO paint Myself in the night time sky!  I DO raise up the morning light to begin to show you the way.  And I DO put miracles in your life that you would see, and join Me in Praise!

Well, now.  What are we to do if there is no Love?  If your actions are not, first and foremost, filled with Love and by Love, then your actions are for naught.  Pure Love.....I speak of Pure Love.....not self motivated Love.

Pure intentions are in Me.  A truly pure intention is the full and complete abandonment of your will into My Own.  This is NOT an impossibility, or I would not ask it of you.  And I would not ask it of you unless I have already given you the ability to do it.  Now, I wait for your will.  To come, follow Me.  Completely.

Children, hear Me speak to you this day.  Know that I am God and you are not.  You see with human vision.  In Me, I permit you to see with your heart.....your soul.  I permit you to see and to hear and to understand with your soul.  Here is where PURE learning occurs.  IF you are willing to focus on Me.  IF you are willing to BE in Me.  IF you are willing to follow Me.  My Requests are quite simple.  YOU complicate the journey because you try to "figure Me out," so to speak.  You spend endless hours discussing My Goodness, rather than praising Me.  And in many instances, My Goodness goes wasted upon you because you are looking elsewhere.....to yourself.....and so, what had been intended for your improvement, is returned to Me.  For all I send out is achieved, or returned to My Side.

You do criticize one another's good actions.  Now I ask:  Where is the charity in that?  How can one good be better than another good, when all good is Goodness in My Sight.....in Me, Who IS Goodness?  It is as though you think that YOU are the source, the manufacturer of goodness!  How very small you are!

You know right from wrong.  I know you know this because I have placed the undeniable knowledge of it within you.  If you deny this, then you deny your very existence!  If you access Me, then you begin to see Me in all things, all persons, all instances.  You begin to learn of discernment and understanding.  You begin to grow in Virtue and above all.....Love, Who I am.  Yes!  You finally begin to know Me and to Love Me and to serve Me.

If you let Me, *I* shall present to you the Good Works I would have you do.  Perhaps, now, you do more than I want you to do.  Perhaps you do less.  Have you ever invited Me into your decision making process?  Where is your prayer in the matter?  For if you had prayed, we would have already spoken.....no?  How will you know My Will if you are always about your own?  How can you follow Me, when you always rush to the lead?  Children, I do not give out awards for good behaviour, I grant Eternal Life:  in Me.....or not.....dependent upon how well you have come to know Me, to Love Me, to serve Me.  See?  My Request is simple.....almost childlike.....yes?  And so I ask:  Why do you complicate things SO?  Why do you burden your hearts with worries which I would lift from you?  Why would you, do you, do these things when I stand here, waiting?

Again I say:  Come, follow ME!  For I am tired of following YOU!  Yes, let us begin.  Come, now.  Let us travel.  I would fill you with My Word.  I would grant to you My Understanding.  And we would grow in Love.  Together.  You and I.  Let us stop bartering over your words.  Let us get on with Life.  True Life.  True Life in God, Who is Me.   Amen.    †
