Triumph of the Cross
Tuesday, September 14, 1999

Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,

[The Lord speaks.....]
What more can be said of the Lesson in the Cross?  It's mere shape indicates Truth!  It is rooted in the ground, yet reaches to the heavens.  It meets in the middle where Heaven kisses earth.  It reaches out to encompass all mankind.  Yet all mankind is not.....does not allow itself to be drawn Here.  Here is a sign of death, to one of little Faith.  Here is a sign of sorrow with no hope of joy, to one who does not understand.  Here is a waste of life, to one who doubts the existence of Life after Death.  Yet to one who believes.....Here is Glory!

The Blood Which has fallen at this Place has washed mankind clean of the debt of sin.  But it is for YOU to bring yourself Here.  It is for you to be WILLING to be transformed Here.  Willingness!  How often have I spoken of willingness?  For the cross that I give to you is My Gift to you, that by it, you might have eternal Life.

Hear Me lambs, as I speak to you.  There is Life Here, in My Word.  There is Life Here, in My Cross.  For it is the Place where your spirit rises from earth to My Heaven.  It is where you reach out in Love to your fellowman.  It is where you are kissed by God.  It is a Sweet and Holy Place.....for you of Faith.  It is where sense is made of the no sense of this world.  It is where Life, True Life, is achieved by dying to all of life around you.  The more you die to self, the more you are healed.  The more you are healed, the more one we are.

What more can be said?  It is a statement which must be lived out.  It is strength.  It is reality.  It is Promise.  It is Hope.  When I ask you to come and follow Me, the Word encompasses the Cross you may bear.  For the cross you have is yours.....but not yours alone.....It is yours, in My Own!  For you are NEVER alone, little ones.  Unless you exclude Me.  Unless you flee from My Cross.

Come, and be in Me.  Now and forever.  Amen.    †
