Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,

[The Lord speaks.....]
I hear the cry of the poor!  I hear them from the depths of their souls!  Sincerity of heart gives rise to the purest prayer.  Yet, as prayer rises through your heart.....as it flies to Me.....it should rise on the wings of praise!  Because a sincere heart recognizes the Presence of God and the Power and Might Which I am!  Praise can take many forms.  It can be contained in an intensified spirit.  It can pour forth in a mouth forming words of praise.  It can be lifted in a heart in flight unto Me.  It can be visible in the raised hands which reach for the heights of Me.  But all which rises from a sincere heart is True.  And Truth is in Me.....and so too, the praise!  Another form of praise is Tongues, the Prayer of Praise within My Spirit.  All forms of Praise-filled prayer requires an honest, pure heart.  Prayerful praise is a soul touching, reaching to touch.....God!  It is a mindful heart which praises Me.   For it is a heart who knows well, that I have already heard all petition for all time.  And in sheer recognition of that fact, in a sort of verbal adoration of Me, praise flows!  I do not demand it, though I greatly Desire it.  I do not need it, yet Awe and Wonder causes it to flow.

Children, prayer must come to be complete.  Far too many of you tend to remind Me of all which I already know.  As a child develops, certain language is acceptable.  Limited speech is understood by the parent to mean much more than the simple word it may represent.  For the parent looks to see the intent of the child's heart.  But with maturity, comes a deeper form of communication and a greater need to be heard.  But there must be as well, a certain trust that the parent can fully well, understand the need.

Human parenthood is imperfect.  But Divine Parenthood is Perfect.  I know all.  I see all.  I understand all.  I know your heart, for there do I reside.  I know your life, for there do I live.  I ask of you, children, a certain abandonment of your spirits unto My Own.  For then, you are living within Trust.  And if you are in Trust, you are in Me.  And if you are in Me, soon enough you will learn to soar on the heights of My Love.  Because you will have learned that such flight is not achieved by you at all.  It is within your abandonment in Me that such occurs.  And not for the purpose of your pleasure, though I know your heart will be pleased; but of the purpose of our union:  our union through prayer.

Prayer is more than asking, and waiting for my Answer.  Prayer is the Language of our Love.  It is our Place of Being.  It is where you are able to be grown in Me, because you permit Me to lift you there; you permit Me to send you soaring within that place where I would have you.  And yes.....praise.....That is why the angels are attributed with the Alleluia Chorus!  For their pure spirits DO sing My Praise.  For they know Me well, and I know them.  All of Heaven is FILLED with Songs of Praise, Sounds of Joy and it is filled with spirits of elation!  Because as you draw closer to Me, you recognize the Pure Love constantly pouring forth from within Me!  And Love begets Love.  And Love begets Praise.  And the Echoes of it within My Heaven, are a Joy to behold!

And so, I say to come to know Me.  That you might Trust Me.  That we might be.....one!  DO pursue Me.  DO believe all I teach to you.  For there is nothing new here, though I am eternally New.  What I teach to you here is a deepening of Faith.  That by your permission, I might heal YOU of all which separates you from Me.  Because I have done all things for Love.  Because I AM Love.

Child!  I call you forth.  Come, follow Me.  Say but the word, and I shall heal your heart.  For unity is the answer to your plea.  Of you in Me.  Now and forever.  Amen.     †
