The Foundation

My child, before the beginning of time, My Father devised a plan of beauty for the creation of the universe. When man fell into sin through the deception of the evil one, My Father devised another plan for the salvation of humanity. My Father did not want His beloved people to suffer the consequences of death associated with their sin. God loved the creation of man dearly and wanted him to be able to share in His Divinity. He asked the Second Person of the Holy Trinity if He would become a "man" in every way except sin, and bear the weight of humanity's sin so that all people could be redeemed and saved from the fires of hell. God desired for all His beloved people to have the opportunity to share in His glory.

He began by first sending prophets to teach the law of God and warn against vices, and He sent angels of His Light to protect and guide them. At the most perfect time, I your Jesus of Mercy, the Second Person of the Holy Trinity, through My Divine Love silenced My Divine authority and equality with My Father and humbled Myself to assume such a role.

2. My Incarnation

The entrance of the Son of Man into the world would depend on the cooperation of a woman born without the stain of sin. This virginal pure woman would have the free choice to do My Father's Will. Her unconditional "yes" to the Archangel Gabriel permitted humanity's salvation to commence. In order for Me to be born into a world of sin, free from the stain of sin, I had to be born from someone sinless in nature. This made her Immaculate in every way, but not Divine. I maintained my Divinity through her because I am God. She was created from the hands of God which made her a creature of God, one pure and sinless. Her only desire during her life was to serve the Messiah and fulfill the Will of the Father. The Son of Man was to bear the full thrust of the wickedness, and the temptational and sorrowful consequences of sin in all of His purity in order to redeem the world and fulfill the most perfect plan of the Trinity.

Through the blood of My sinless mother, I developed and was nurtured. I inherited her temperament, gentleness and serenity, as she cared for Me through her songs of praise and prayers to the Father. I was comforted by her warmth and her goodness while her genetic component was being infused into Me. She paid close attention to her physical well-being.

When a woman is gifted from Heaven to bear a child, the time the child is forming and developing in the womb is a critical period. The child feels what the mother feels at all times from the beginning at conception. It is the time the soul takes on flesh. It is not a medical term related to fetal tissue. It is "life".

The human mind and imagination are so limited in understanding the Truth of Life as they are limited in understanding the glory of God in His infinite Wisdom. This is the result of the serpent's betrayal of God and rests now in the mystery of "faith" gifted to every human being. The practice of this precious virtue of faith by man determines entrance into eternal glory.

To continue on, My child, contrary to what some theologians hypothesize, while inside the womb of My mother, I was not all-knowing as God. I was an innocent baby, as vulnerable as every infant, at the mercy of My mother, as is every infant. I simply humbled Myself to become human. I surrendered My power and strength for the sake of Love.

Little one, how a mother behaves during the gestational period paves the foundation for each infant's developmental stage. It is My desire that all women understand the importance of their ability to produce life. It allows them to be co-redeemers and to be One with the Trinity. Those who prevent life or regulate the plan of the Blessed Trinity through their free choice separate themselves from eternal glory and enhance the destruction of civilization. The time is approaching, little one, when every woman created will be held accountable for any misuse of this precious gift because it is a direct attack against the Throne of God and His creation. My mother is the Model of Hope for all women who have abused this gift of life. Reflect now upon My words. Peace.

3. In the Womb

My child, I want to talk more on the period of time the baby is in the womb before we proceed on to My Birth into the world.

While in the womb, the baby can hear and feel what the mother feels. It is sensitive to all the external effects even though the baby is quite protected interiorly. The chemical makeup of the baby is a tremendous, miraculous piece of art from Heaven. It grows, and every cell of the body is different. It is a beautiful creation and gift from God. When the child is being developed, every migrating cell is bonding and carrying characteristic features from its parents. The child is developing a personality based on his/her mother's and father's interaction. The baby is infused with the peace and love shared between mother and father. The baby can also receive the brokenness, pain, and bruises from rejection and indifference.

This is why I have said how important it is for the mother to remain in a state of prayer, singing psalms of joy to God. In all her works and activities, the mother must be conscious of God's Love and do her best in preserving His Love, which is being infused by His grace into the child. It does not matter what function she is performing, she can spiritually, mentally and physically remain in a state of prayer. It must be an act of the will to desire the child to grow with peace of heart and to have a generous disposition to love.

My heart was formed from My mother's, directly infused to her from the Love of My Father. It was an act of will on her part to allow My Father's grace to flow through her to me as I developed. Scientists and leaders in medicine today have not disclosed to what degree and level the baby can feel and hear and inherit personality traits. I am revealing to you with certainty that all babies are intimately interlocked to all the circumstances the mother is exposed, whether those be circumstances of sorrow, abuse, pain, indifference, loneliness, mental torments, fear, rejection, or joy, happiness, peace, tranquility and love. At what point does this commence? At the time of conception, little one. At that time when the human eye cannot visibly see human life.

Now commencing with our next session, I will reveal to you the Joy of the Father in My Birth, the event of My Birth, the horror of My stepfather, and the bliss of My mother to receive for the world its Emmanuel. Peace to you.

4. My Birth

At the time of My birth, little child, there were myriads of angels rejoicing and surrounding My stepfather and My mother. They escorted them to the humble manger prepared by My stepfather. Slightly disappointed by the accommodations in which the Savior of the world was to enter the world, My mother, in all her humility and innocence, resigned that the Father had willed that my entrance would be in a manger, and made the best of her surroundings and preparations for My comfort.

Then came the time for Me to leave the warmth and security of the pure, Immaculate womb of the woman whom all generations would call Blessed. The trumpets sounded, and in the silence of the night, enveloped in a Divine Light from heaven, Mary, wife of Joseph from the House of David, gave birth without trouble or distress to your Jesus, Savior and King of salvation, your Emmanuel. She did not lose her Immaculate virginity. Joseph, in respecting the privacy of this moment went to retrieve assistance from a servant at an Inn to attend to My Mother's needs, not aware that this birth would be completed by his return and that the angels from above would attend to this humble handmaid of the Lord.

Yes, Mary was alone; yet she was accompanied by myriads of angels who protected her and assisted her needs. By the time My stepfather returned, alone and frustrated from not being able to find assistance; there I laid, cradled in a bed of straw, nestled in the warmth of My Mother's arms, surrounded by invisible angels whom even my stepfather was unable to see. The animals gathered, the shepherds received their callings in their hearts, and the three kings from a far set out to seek the Savior.

Many people wonder and ask questions regarding My birth. Let us address some of these questions. How could Mary retain her virginity if she gave birth? She maintained her virginity because she had no relations with any man. She maintained her purity because she was Immaculate. It was the Holy Spirit who breathed upon her, with her fiat, to be with child. The act by man had no part in her pregnancy.

I am pure. I came into the world pure without sin. The only way I could come as man into the world without the stain of sin was to be born from a woman whose blood was not tainted by sin, but was pure and Immaculate. I was Divine; and to come into the world and take a human form in all ways but sin, I had to be born of a human who through the Hand of the Father would be created Immaculate and sinless. Mary never lost her virginity because she never had any sexual relationship with a man. She conceived through the Power of the Holy Spirit. All things are possible with God.

Then you ask: Does this make Mary divine? No, Mary was human. She was created Immaculate so that I could be born into the world, human in all ways except sin; but she was not exempt from any other aspect of human life, and she is not God. You cannot say that Mary is not a role model for women because she did feel pain, anguish, frustrations, sorrows, grief, humiliation, joy and happiness. She experienced every human emotion. She was simply created Immaculate; and through her humble "yes", I was allowed entrance into the world to carry the weight of the world and free everyone from death and the powers of evil.

Did God the Father communicate with Mary? Yes, as He did with many of the prophets before her and continues now. Even My stepfather listened to His communication through his dreams and promptings from the Holy Spirit. The Father did not relay to her that she was chosen to be the Mother of God. He simply revealed to her that the Savior was forthcoming.

Her reply was to be able to be a servant of the woman so blessed to bear the Son of God. She did not ask whom it would be. It was only when the Archangel Gabriel revealed it to her that she became aware of it and graciously received the Gift of the Holy Spirit as her Spouse. The act of the conception was through the Holy Spirit, and the act of birth was through the Holy Spirit. It began and was finished through the Holy Spirit.

As many women today give birth without trouble, so did My mother; and the angels were sent by My Father to attend her. She felt pain as all women feel pain. When she faced birth, at the same moment she also faced death because Life was coming into the world to slay death.

Was she afraid? Yes, as with any mother, fear of the unknown passed by; but her hope and faith in God above humbled her to accept and trust all that God had planned for her in the future.

Was she concerned for her husband, his thoughts and the provisions for the Savior? Yes, every human emotion was present and concurred through her continuous fiat. Be it done unto me as you say!

What did my stepfather say when he saw Me? In awe he humbled himself as my innocence, radiance and omnipotence enveloped him in My Love. He knew the Truth and desired to protect the Gift from Heaven from all harm. As his eyes welled up with tears, he bowed graciously to the humble handmaid in humility, as her simplicity, beauty and radiant purity inebriated him. That is how from Heaven above I was born, your Savior for all the world, for all eternity, never to be separated again as once in the Garden of Eden.

5. Mirna and the Shepherds

My little one, after My birth a servant from the Inn came to assist My mother in caring for her female needs, hygiene and health precautions as was protocol for that time period. My stepfather was relieved upon seeing the presence of the servant, and upon her arrival he graciously made accommodations for the time she spent with My mother. Serving the needs of My mother changed her life forever. Her name was Mirna.

The first week of My human life I received the necessary nutrients from My mother's breast for my immune system, as the odiferous animals kept the area warm. I continued to feed from her breasts until I was 9 months old, and then I began to be weaned from her and gradually introduced to pureed foods. My favorite foods as I grew older were goat cheese and honey.

The shepherds from the field were the first to pay tribute to me after Mirna returned to her duties at the Inn. They knew then that the Savior of the world did not come for the righteous but for the lowly. Their hearts were filled with joy and wonder as they gazed upon My innocence and purity. When the Kings arrived, they remained with us for 2 months before they returned to their homelands, but we will talk about that scene later. The shepherds provided My mother and stepfather with food and drink. They visited daily and made every effort to provide things to make Me and My parents comfortable. They introduced My stepfather to the area in which he could later make known his trade.

However, the first week was a very intimate ecstasy and elation of joy for the Holy Family, one of the great awe, adoration and thanksgiving. God was born! The Son of Man had entered the world and was sustained by grace from the Eternal Father.

6. More on the Shepherds

My little child from heaven, I told you that the shepherds from the distant fields were My first visitors. On the second day of the celebration of My birth into the world, the shepherds received their calling, initially in their hearts. From the eldest to the youngest, the shepherds were drawn together. An unexplainable yearning, a burning with love in their hearts, moved them to gather together. There together the star of Bethlehem shone with brilliance revealing an historical event.

From the heavens descended My angel who announced the birth of the Savior of the world. Stricken with joy and holy fear, and dumbfounded by the awesome beauty of My angel, they prostrated themselves like little lambs. There were 12 shepherds who gathered together, but the one who was most childlike was granted the privilege of first seeing the angel and later resting his eyes on your Savior.

Cautiously and reverently, yet in haste, did they make their way to pay homage to their Savior, wrapped in swaddling clothes in the manger. They found My mother and father enraptured in joy. Upon hearing the rustling sound of people, My father in his gentle yet protective manner asked for the identification of the visitors. The youngest shepherd entered first and explained their encounter with the angel who had led them to their Savior in the manger. My father allowed the shepherds entrance, and my Mother, who knew the others were outside, invited all to come and see her innocent babe. There did they feast their eyes on Simplicity and Humility Itself, Whose gracious lips would one day speak words of peace and in Whose authority rested the judgment of the world.

The shepherds played an important role in assisting My father in finding a modest home and brought food and drink for our nourishment. On the 8th day, due to the proclamation of the Jewish law, every first born son was to be consecrated to God. Bethlehem, being a crowded place where many people had journeyed to register their children in accordance with the Roman law, had also a synagogue. The Presentation in the Temple was forthcoming, but the journey and the climate at that time of year was too long and harsh, and not for a newborn. The journey to Jerusalem would be made when the weather would be more conducive to travel several months later. My circumcision and consecration were performed on the 8th day in a synagogue in Bethlehem. My Precious Blood was then for the first time shed for the salvation of the world. Several months later in the Temple of Jerusalem, My honor and glory were offered to God for the world's eternal salvation, when Simeon saw all the virtues of "the" Child Jesus. O' that the world could ponder the virtues of Me as the Child Jesus: humility, charity, patience, simplicity innocence and mortification. Omnipotent and merciful, righteous and Divine, sinless and pure, the hidden Godhead breathed goodness on the world.

This is all I shall say for now, little one. Ponder this and be enraptured in My joy. We will continue later. Peace to you.

7. My Presentation in the Temple

My dear little child, let us now commence with the Presentation in the Holy Temple.

The shepherds assisted My father in finding a humble home in the area of Bethlehem. For two months the shepherds came to rest their eyes on Me, paying tribute to their Savior with songs of praise and adoration. They introduced My father Joseph to the merchants in the market place where he could make his livelihood, trading in the field of carpentry.

During this time period, in a far away land, the 3 Magi rested their eyes on a new star in the heavens. An unidentified star, when decoded, revealed the Messiah. The announcement of the Savior of the world was secretly presented in the stars of the sky. At this time each Wise Man, unknown to each other in different lands, decoded the message from Heaven and gathered their belongings to seek out the Messiah in what would be a long journey. They each brought their own servants to attend to their own animals and belongings. Unknown to them was the fact that they would all gather and meet beyond the Dead Sea and join together in their quest.

As the Wise Men were making their journey, it was time for My father and mother to make their journey to Jerusalem for My formal Presentation in the Holy Temple. The trip was not an easy one, long winding roads and an uncomfortable ride on a donkey for My mother who desired comfort for her new young babe of 4 months. As they neared Jerusalem, the passage became more crowded and there were more frequent jerking stops by the donkey. None the less, with peace and tranquility in their hearts, the eyes of the Holy Family gazed upon the gates of Jerusalem and they entered.

My father found a place to keep the donkey and My mother dismounted with Me cradled in her arms. She purchased 2 white turtle doves from the merchants along with My father. They went to the magnificent Holy Temple and proceeded to climb the stairway. As they entered, they were directed to the High Priest who gazed on My omnipotence, and who, in order to examine Me, unwrapped my clothing. In splendor and praise, He raised Me up to the Heavenly Father with both of his arms extended high toward the heavens, He prayed aloud as My mother was filled with tears of joy and My father filled with ecstatic happiness. The priest blessed the Holy Family and accepted the proper gift on behalf of the judicial law. It was done!

Upon leaving the Temple, a man of age named Simeon approached My mother and asked her if he could rest his eyes on her beloved One. Upon doing this, His eyes were opened; and the Holy Spirit filled his tongue with wisdom and praise. In his old age, he now could rest in peace because he had seen the Savior of the world. But then, Wisdom continued to speak through him and he said, "He will be the rising and falling of many, and that a sword shall pierce your heart too"; O' the words of sorrow indicating My future. My mother desired Me to be honored, although she knew already the sorrow to come forth upon the Savior; but in her humility, she bowed her head in silence as tears welled up in her eyes to think of her beloved One, her gentle, innocent, pure Babe, having to bear the sorrow of the world. My father looked on in awe and somewhat troubled when he heard those words prayed for My mother and was filled with sorrow.

But then came the prophet Anna who revealed to them the great Mercy of God the Father. In His Love He would bestow on my Mother the grace to endure the pain and hardships, and that she would be the greatest among women for all creation. In silence did My Mother Mary respond, accepting in all gentleness all the words with great humility.

My stepfather gathered us together and slowly did we proceed back to the shed where our donkey rested, where we once again mounted it and made our return home to Bethlehem.

This ends, dear one, the Presentation. Just note one thing here. It only takes one single glance upon the Savior to change a person for all eternity. Simeon waited years for a moment's glance. One breath from heaven, and goodness is restored. Mercy from Heaven, Mercy has arrived!

8. The Three Kings

After the Presentation in the Temple we made our return back to our modest home in Bethlehem. A typical day of my infancy consisted of laying nestled in the arms of My Mother sucking my nourishment from the splendor of her beauty. My Mother would sing to me, talk to me, and rock me in my cradle, handcrafted by my father. I was an infant who was well cared for by two loving parents whose love and charm made me very happy. My father was very childlike and made me many stimulating objects to learn fundamental coordination and development skills.

During the initial months of My life when the Holy Family was living in peace, the three Wise Men joined and met one another beyond the Dead Sea. They could all understand each other's language and sought out the Star together. They journeyed together from that point to Jerusalem. When they entered Jerusalem they lost track of the Star which so brilliantly was guiding them.

They ventured to King Herod's residence in the upper city, whom they thought would surely direct them to their Messiah. Upon hearing the three Wise Men's request, King Herod summoned the royal palace's chief priests to ask them from where the Messiah would come forth. Their reply indicated that Scripture foretold the King Messiah of the world would blossom from Bethlehem. Upon hearing this, King Herod instructed the Three Kings to notify him where the newborn "king" could be found so that he too could pay tribute to Him.

As soon as the Three Wise Men left the gates of Jerusalem, once again did the Star reappear, more brilliant in bluish color than ever before. The closer they traveled to Bethlehem, the more brilliant the light. The Wise Men arrived in Bethlehem when I was 8 months of age. They arrived in the late of night and rested in the Inn. Upon break of day, news across town traveled that three Kings of different appearance and from different countries were visitors.

The angel of God, Gabriel, was sent to the youngest, most childlike shepherd once again to announce the arrival of the Kings, and to send the shepherds to gather the Kings and escort them to the Holy Family. At the same time, Mirna, the servant from the Inn, was the first to rest eyes upon the three Kings. As the shepherds came to the town center where the Inn was located, Mirna directed them to the servant's quarters of the Wise Men. The Wise Men's servants went to gather the Kings, and they all followed the shepherds to the simple house down one of the adjacent roads a ways from the Inn.

I was sitting on My mother's lap in the kitchen when My mother's eyes glanced up and saw the visitors. My father was eating a piece of goat cheese and bread at the table. He also looked up at the noticeably different people of nobility. He stood up. My mother said, "Peace be with you. Please come in." I sat on her lap and clapped my hands! For me, it was the first time I had seen the shining gems on the heads of the Kings and the rich colors of their clothing.

The elder of the Kings explained the appearance of the Star and how their calculations and astronomical mapping had unveiled the birth of the Messiah. They explained their long journey across the mountains and how each one had met each other beyond the Dead Sea and traveled to Jerusalem, and then to King Herod when the Star lots its brilliance.

In awe my father listened and was moved in humility. It was then that my father invited them into our house. Before that, even though my mother had invited them into our house, the Kings, out of respect for her and My father, would not enter until they explained their journey. The Wise Men then entered, and bowing their heads, knelt at the feet of My mother as I continued to clap My hands. They looked in awe as they venerated My glory.

I was so happy to see them. I tried to grab their chains. I wanted to play with them. Their bright clothing and tassels drew My attention. The Kings' servants brought in the gifts. Each King presented his gift: one of gold to be given to a King; one of incense indicating God; and one of myrrh indicating both the "human" man as well as God, and the bitterness of the flesh and the sting of death. The gifts were explained to My mother and father as I inquisitively looked on, smiling and wanting to investigate.

My mother invited them to sit down with us, but they would not. They continued on bended knee with tears of joy in their eyes to contemplate the goodness of God. Finally, My mother gave Me to the Kings to be held. I liked that very much. I could play with their chains, touch their sparkling hats, and feel their soft silk tunics. It was quite an event. The Kings did not leave Bethlehem right away. They stayed two months in order to make their preparations to return back to their homelands and give their animals a rest.

By the time they left I was walking, not very well, but none the less walking. In fact I would like to tell you of my very first steps. It was on an evening when the weather was delightful. We, the Holy Family, had finished our humble meal and I was sitting on the floor in the gathering social room, part of the living quarters, and where the three Wise Men actually would come again to visit. I was with My father; and as My mother came in and kneeled almost next to me, I in My joy to see her, pushed Myself up with My two hands, bent over onto My hind feet, smiled at her, and took one step towards her before I came tumbling down. It was quite a joy to see Me stand up and the plop down. These were happy, peaceful times.

But let us now continue about the three Wise Men.

The time came when they had to return to their countries. They came to say good-bye; and although they did not want to depart from Me, they knew their mission was complete. With tears in their eyes, they kissed My precious forehead, hands and feet, and bowed in humility. My mother and father and I walked the three Kings outside. I held the eldest King's hand. My mother said, "May God be with you." My father bowed to the Kings. My mother bowed her head also and then took my hand to wave a blessing and good-bye to the guests. Then the three Wise Men bowed to one another and left the house to mount their animals and return to their homelands.

9. Our Flight into Egypt

When the Wise Men had come to Bethlehem, I was at the end of my 8th month of life. The Kings stayed for 2 months and left when I was almost 11 months old. They did not return to Jerusalem to report back to King Herod of My whereabouts. An angel appeared to the eldest King in a dream and advised them of King Herod's plot against Me. The Wise Men discussed the dream and discerned that they would simply return to their countries by another route.. They also entrusted the dream to St. Joseph, who being a king himself in the eyes of God, gave confirmation to their discussion to avoid King Herod. The Three Wise Men saw My father, St. Joseph, as a just man and a guardian of purity and holiness. My father's riches were in God, and his manners were those of a great king; and the Wise Men knew of his wisdom.

When King Herod realized the Wise Men were not returning and his intentions were discovered by the three Kings, he became furious. I was 12 months old by the time King Herod realized the Kings were not returning to report to him. I had just celebrated My first birthday. Daddy, (St. Joseph) had made me a wooden lamb and My mother had woven Me a special quilt- like blanket to keep Me warm. She prepared some special wheat cakes with honey, and the shepherds came to celebrate with us. They sang songs and we all played little games. That night I was sleeping calmly in My cradle when My father was awaken by his dream.

God the Father sent His angel to tell My guardian father to take flight to Egypt immediately. We had to escape quickly because King Herod was afraid of My innocence and power. King Herod wanted to see My death. St. Joseph arose calmly but quickly, and went to tell My mother who was by My cradle that we had to gather our belongings and leave by the dawn of the morning for Egypt. She prepared all she could in an orderly fashion because the trip would be cold and long, and she knew that we might not be returning. What was left behind could be lost forever.

St. Joseph then left to tell the shepherds we had to leave, and made arrangements for our humble house. The shepherds helped my guardian father gather the necessary livestock and donkeys for the trip. How gracious the shepherds, My friends, to come to his assistance. Their loyalty remained embedded in My Heart forever.

10. The Holy Innocents

We did not have much time. King Herod had ordered the slaughter of all 32 male children, 2 years-old and younger. By the time he organized and ordered the troops, we were leaving by donkey for Egypt. One donkey was loaded with tools, another donkey with our necessary items, and the third donkey was for My mother and Me. We said good-bye too our friends as My father continued to strap all our belongings we could take with us onto the donkeys, The dawn was nearing as we left Bethlehem, and My mother with tears in her eyes said good-bye to the fond memories in our little modest home.

(Special note: It was the Child Jesus who came today to tell Gianna this and visit with her.)

11. Our Life in Egypt

The journey to Egypt was long and uncomfortable, but the peace of God dwelled within our hearts. My parents did not find out about the massacre of the Holy Innocence for a long while. Had My father known, he would have been tormented by such an atrocity. On our flight into Egypt we, on several occasions, did not have any food to eat. Many times we stayed with the Bedouins who lived out in the desert under the stars. My parents sang their hymns of praise to God and remained calm during their journey. They did not want to show Me any signs of concern. They were truly honorable, loving parents. We covered long distances every day making several stops along the way.

My parents did not know what the future held in store for them, but they trusted in the Father's Will. With confidence they proceeded in haste to Egypt. We traveled a little while along the Mediterranean Sea, but then went inland. The terrain began to change, with more hills and sand as we drew closer to Egypt. We passed Raamses and Goshen, the sight of the pyramids, which indicated the nearing of our destination.

When we arrived in Cairo, My father looked for housing. He registered the family name and was introduced to the surroundings. My father was given the name of someone who lived in the area by one of the three Wise Men (the King from Saudi Arabia), whose name My father had kept. The man's name was Elam. St. Joseph found Elam in a humble dwelling and revealed to him our circumstances and the meeting with the three Wise Men. At once Elam bowed to My father in loving humility and invited us to stay as his guests in his house for a while until we acquired our own housing. My father accepted in joy and gratitude.

Let us stop at this point now, My child. We will continue at another time a little later. Peace to you. My Love is in your heart. Rest in My Love now.

6/29/99

12. More on Our Life in Egypt

Elam was very kind in helping our Holy Family become situated in that far away land. He was a robust man with a face which spoke a tale of his life. He had a beard and gentle, soft, deep-set eyes. He was a man aged in years, yet quite capable of continuing his sturdy work. We remained his guests for 4 weeks at which time we moved our belongings, the little we had, to our new home.

Our new house was quite lovely with its holy surroundings and My mother and father. We lived in poverty, yet with the dignity of noblemen. I was taught the Law of God directly from the Seat of Wisdom, My mother; although at this point in My life, I was not yet old enough. I was still a young one of 1 ½ years of age. I was talking and learning words and sentences, and I had mastered walking by this time. The wonders of God's creation enticed Me. I had golden hair with curls just forming, and my cheeks were quite rosy and chubby with peach fuzz brightening the outline of My hairline and face. I was quite comfortable in the arms of My parents and was not independent enough to wander far from them.

My father set up his carpentry shop outside our dwelling place, roughly 100 feet away. My mother began spinning wool and, at this point, began making hand-woven cloaks. Our livelihood was a very simple one. My father endured harsh comments from many of the townspeople and responded with silence when ridiculed, but this was short-lived. My father became known as a respectable, honest and fair man. His wages were fair, and he always give his surplus to others who were suffering unfortunate circumstances. He became known as a gentle man with great integrity.

He never shared the belittling commentaries with My mother, but she knew of his pain from several verbose women in the area. She did not need women to reveal her husband's situation because she could see his heart of love and his concern in wanting to be a providing spouse and father. None the less, the women of the town were quite generous in exposing other peoples' hardships to all who had ears to hear. My mother, in her purity, softened the blows My father was receiving by opening her heart to these hard-surfaced women, and she became the lagoon which swallowed all the negative speculative remarks against her spouse. Only a heart so Immaculate could silence the effects of evil and inspire people to change their lives, repent, and walk the path towards God.

When the news arrived of the slaughter of all the innocent children, the heavens wept tears of sorrow for the women who waited in agony for their lost ones. The world would never be the same.

It was only the beginning of evil's reign and would mark the commencement of the pain to come upon the world from the misuse of power, and from jealousy, hatred and malice, vanity, and soul-searching desires. The evil one would certainly try to destroy the world in fear of THE woman who would destroy him forever through her fidelity and obedience to God. The battle began at that moment and continues on today with the threat to innocent lives in the mothers' wombs through the termination of life before a baby's first breath. One day the world will know of the importance of the children, their sanctifying and redeeming grace from God, and the way of life necessary for salvation.

Let us stop here for now, little one. I do not desire to continue. The pain in My Heart is too strong because I am the One Who has given birth to the children, my people of the world, through My Passion. O' that they would really be mine, not their own. They live for themselves. I want their flesh, for it rightfully belongs to Me. Peace to you. My Heart I give to you and My Eyes I give to you.

13. Our Return to Nazareth

We stayed in Egypt until My Heavenly Father revealed to My earthly father that it was time and safe to return to our homeland. One night as My father was sleeping, an angel came to him and said, "Joseph, wake up. Do not be afraid. You may now return to your homeland with your belongings. Your family will be quite safe. Herod has died. You now are free to go back. God's Peace is upon you." Taken by this dream, My father awoke and hastily arose to check on his beloved ones. There nestled in comfort I laid in My bed of safety. Surprised to see My mother awake, he said, "Mary, my beloved, I had a dream from Heaven"; to which My mother responded, " I know, my Joseph. The angel said it is safe to return now with our belongings to our homeland. Let us return as you see fit."

At that response My father smiled and began to pray with My mother a prayer of thanksgiving to My Heavenly Father, and they pondered in their hearts the goodness of God. "O' how beautiful you are, O' great possession of our hearts, You Who created the heavens and the stars and the soil of the earth. We bless Your Holy Name and bow to Your Divinity. You Who knows all things, we thank You and desire to be Your lowly servants. All praise and glory to Your Name."

With that prayer I stirred and called, "Mommy, daddy"; and with arms raised high towards Heaven, I was lifted by My mother into her arms. I embraced her with a loving hug, but then extended My little arms to My father. There I desired to rest My head after I patted My hands against his cheeks and smiled at him. He responded to My Heavenly Father's call. He listened and responded. I could rest My head on him, for I was secure, safe and at peace in the arms of My earthly father. What a joy to feel the comfort of a father, My strong but gentle daddy! He was Mine, all of Mine; and I was his, all of his.

Little one, ponder this scene that I have revealed to you. The joy and wonder of being gifted with fatherhood! Peace to you. I love you, and I give you My Heart and My Eyes.

14. Our Daily Life

Little one, now let us continue on with My Life's journey.

After My father was told he could return back to Nazareth, he praised the Father along with My mother. We did not immediately leave. My father had established himself in his trade, and we acquired friends for whom we wanted to give proper farewell and salutations. My father also wanted to wait to be sure that the upheaval and unrest had settled down. We remained in Egypt 2 more years. By the time we returned to our homeland, I was 6 ½ years of age.

But first let me tell you of a day in My Life now as we return to the scene in Egypt.

I was almost 4 years old now. I was at the age when I was learning numbers, and I was interested in books (scrolls) and was very active, running, playing and climbing. We shall continue on from this point on a routine day, so that you can see what My life was like.

I am running around in a circle while My mother is sitting in her chair reading. I fall to the ground, roll over on My back, and I say to My mother, "I'm dying, I'm being killed, I'm dead." I raise both My arms up from My sides extending them out, and I sigh a big breath and close My eyes. I peak open My eyes to see My mother who in distress is looking at Me with sorrowful, concerned eyes. I say, "I'm only pretending, Mom. Don't worry. God is with you." I close My eyes again and exhale a big sigh as if once again it is My last breath. I sit up now with a big smile, My legs extended, and My arms behind Me holding Me up.

Mommy is still not happy, and she's still looking at Me. I get up and run to her, and I put both My hands on each side of her cheeks. "Be happy, Mom. It's alright. I have to pretend to die today because that is what I will have to do later, but I will save you from bad people. I will protect you. See?" (as I smile at My mother.)

Mommy responded, "That's enough for today, My dear One."

"OK, Mom, you wanna read me a story now. But first maybe we better have something sweet to eat. I'm hungry, Mom. It's kind of hard to die. Let's have some honey then you can read me two stories, and then you wanna roll rocks with me?"

O' the innocence of children. They do not understand the implications of their actions. They are so genuinely innocent and pure that you can hardly contain yourself from desiring to scoop them up into your arms and lovingly embracing them. Little one, O' the sorrow which awaits those who harm little children and do not lovingly care for them.

I will stop here for now. But we will continue later when My father walks into the room, greets My mother, and I jump in his lap with my arms extended, asking, "Daddy, you wanna play rocks with us?" Peace, little one. Peace.

10/11/99

15. More on Our Daily Life

"Daddy, you wanna play rocks with us?", I asked as I ran to him with my arms extended.

Then my father picked me up, gave me a warm, strong, loving embrace and responded with a smile, "Well it seems you have had quite a full day. Come sit on my lap and tell me about it first." With a proud smile on My face, I took My father's hand and led him to the kitchen chair. My mother, with her gentle smile continued to prepare something for us to eat..

"I pretended to die today, daddy, and it was hard work. There were people fighting, but I won because God is with Me."

"Oh?", replied My father. "You didn't upset Your mother today, my Son, did you?"

"Oh no, daddy, we were just playing. It was pretend. I have to do that, you know. Mommy was a little sad, but I have her a big hug and kiss. You wanna play rocks now with me?"

"In a minute, my Son, perhaps I better talk first with your mother." Mommy brought the snack to the table and we all gave praise to the Father for His goodness and our humble meal. My father then conversed with My mother about the day, as I paid little attention, jumping on and off the stool.

You see, my little one, My Life as a "child" was just exactly that, the life of a child. There was nothing extraordinary or spectacular which set me aside and different from any other child growing in the arms of loving parents. This is what made My life so special, because it invites and includes all children and people of the world for all generations. I came into the world and lived in the world, and I would die in the world for the love of all people. All people would be given the opportunity to live life in Me and to die in Me, to share My Life as I shared theirs and to share My Death as I conquered the pain and sorrow of death in order for all to be able to pass into everlasting joy.

Well now, after our humble meal, My father played rocks with Me as Mother cleaned and tidied up the kitchen. Afterwards, we all joined together for prayer time with recitations of psalms, praises to God and prayers for those in need. Then My mother cleansed me from My hard day's work of play and prepared me for sleep. My father would bless Me and be next to Me as I prayed My bedtime prayers; and then My mother would sing Me a lullaby, rocking me as My precious eyes rested on hers. Slowly I would close them as another day came to a close with anticipation and thoughts for tomorrow's activities and play.

16. My Childhood Fear

I started, little joy of My Heart, to awaken in the night full of fear. Night after night I would scream for My mother, "Mommy, will you rock me?" I would clench on to her loving arms out of fear and would not let go without a struggle. I did not want to go to sleep. I did not want to be alone. I wanted My mother to be by My side forever. "Mommy, be by me. What's back there? I think there's a snake. You better stay by Me."

In the morning I would be full of energy and play. My mother tried to teach Me to be strong, to stand alone, and to learn My own individual characteristics. She would tell Me how many angels surrounded Me for My protection, and that I should never fear because Love surrounded Me.

I had to go through that phase and live fear for all My precious children who today experience fear. I am with them and will come to their aid and comfort. Sadly, many children today do not have a parent to comfort and rock them or to console them.

(New scene)

17. The Good Shepherd

Well, today is a great day! My father enters our humble home and he says, "Little Jesus, come, Son. I have something for You for helping me clean my carpentry tools."

"What? What is it, dad?" I asked as I darted towards the door.

"Well, come see," said My father; and as I walked outside, there My eyes rested upon a baby white lamb held in My father's arms.

"Oh, daddy, it's a baby sheep."

"It's a lamb, Son."

"Oh, My little babe, come here. Don't be afraid. It's only Me. Come here, little lamb."

"This lamb needs a good home and someone to take good care of him, Son."

"Can I, dad? Can I? I will take good care of him. Come, here, My little babe."
"Well", said dad, "do You know how to be a shepherd? A shepherd knows all his little lambs. They know their master's voice and will follow him wherever he goes. Even if a stranger tries to call them away, they will not leave their master; for they know the true voice of their shepherd. If one lamb is lost, the shepherd will find him and even risk leaving the others until the lost lamb is found; because the good shepherd will lay down his life for his sheep. There can be but one flock and one shepherd."

"Oh, we can all rejoice together, daddy. You will see, I promise to be a good shepherd. Call me the Good Shepherd, OK?"

"Alright, my Son, here You are; Your first little lamb."

I took the precious little white lamb and gently put him down, and then raised My arms high to embrace My father with a hug.
"Oh thank you, dad. Thank you. I love you." I then put my little lamb in the wooden wagon (made for me by My dad), and I strolled off pulling My wagon saying, "You want to go for a little ride, little one?"

The scene ends there, little one. My first lamb, white as snow, without a flaw! Just as pure as a newborn babe, innocent and helpless! Ponder My joy. Peace.

18. My Mother

My little one, before we continue on with My first lesson taught to Me by My mother, I want to talk about her daily life. She lived a very ordinary life, and she did not make an impression, in the eyes of the people in Egypt or Nazareth, of anything out of the ordinary. She was the wife of Joseph the carpenter, and she lived like any other woman. She took care of the family and household chores, cooking and cleaning. She was simply Mary, the wife of Joseph the carpenter, who had a Son named Jesus.

What made her different then from the rest of the world? Her "fiat" to God. She lived with Me, through Me, for Me, and in Me. I dwelt within her. Every step of her life was in step with Mine. She said "yes" to the Father and never took it back. Whatever God wanted was acted out in her "yes"; including everything she felt, whether it be joy or sorrow, good health or suffering. She said "yes" to the Archangel Gabriel, "yes" to becoming the spouse of Joseph, "yes" to a humble manger, "yes" to the exile into Egypt, "yes" to devoting her entire life to teaching Me and keeping Me hidden. She said "yes" to when later it would be time to say good-bye and let Me leave her as I began My public ministry. She said "yes" to My Cross, My Death and My Resurrection; and she said "yes" to becoming the Mother of all peoples.

She kept within her heart all the treasures of My Life from My Birth to My Presentation, from when I was found in the Temple up through My Death. She did not take it upon herself to discuss these events with anyone. Her neighbors saw her willingness to help others in need, but never did she reveal the secrets of God, her Son, the Christ Child, King and Savior for all the world. Her actions of purity spoke her way of life and told the story of Truth, and they quietly instructed people how to lead their lives. The fruits of her spirit were those of Mine, namely: "love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, trustfulness, gentleness, and self control."

She lived what would later become St. Paul's own words of instruction to Christians in living the fruits of the Holy Spirit. She was all to all people because I was all to her. She now remains Mother for all people, because I am Savior for all people. There is no distance between Us. Where I am, there she is with Me. This is what I want people to ponder, because I desire to dwell in all people and be one with them in every aspect of their lives and every avenue they walk, as I am One with My Mother.

Whether you are a newborn baby or falling into decay as age develops, do not lose heart. I can be equally as intimate and One with you through your faith in Me. Take My words into your heart.

Peace, little one who is lost without me. I love you and will never leave you. Peace.

11/22/99

19. My Poverty of Spirit

My little one, why do you think I came into the world poor and humble instead of as the glorious, righteous King to be attended by myriads of angels? I was more than poor. I also exemplified the purest spiritual poverty. It was so I could be the Guardian of your humanity. You live in a world today where people think that they should live it up and possess as much as the world can offer; but in the process, they are failing to see that the necessary ingredient needed to be an authentic human being was outlined and lived most perfectly through My poverty of spirit. I lived the misery of the world, even unto the torment of death, without the consolations of heavenly assistance and with total helplessness, so that I could live every aspect of your own humanity and give you hope and courage to be who you are in your own spiritual poverty on your own cross.

If you want to receive the joy of Divine things and submerge yourself into its glorious significance, then you must walk as I did, embrace who you are in your misery and weakness, and welcome the true essence of your humanity with poverty of spirit. How do you practice this poverty of spirit? You must learn to accept yourself, even if you may go unnoticed in your daily life, and even if your talents may be simple, not extravagant, without recognition, and common in the eyes of the world.

I lived this way. I did not exemplify any superiority or wealth which leads to self-centering honors. I stood alone as you all stand alone. No matter what you have exteriorly with all its pleasures and honors, you walk your walk alone. Satan would like you to be preoccupied with the glamours of life and submerge you into their temporary pleasures, masking the genuineness of being who you are in the pain of loneliness. He would like you to compromise the mission of your life, to live in total spiritual poverty, by feeding on the prestige of the world. If I walked the way as a common man, did I not set the true example of how to imitate God?

If you do not know who you are now in life, who you really are as a human being, then how do you expect to know the true Divinity? Your existence is only a glimpse of what is to come. I would like all my people to really ponder, reflect and contemplate what it has meant for them that I came as their Emmanuel (God is with us); and why I have lived the way I have lived and have embraced all the misery, pain, loneliness and helplessness of this impoverished humanity without accepting Divine assistance. This mystery is the key to how Divinity came into humanity and how Divinity is within the reach of every human being. Remember, "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven."

Peace, little one.

20. Silence

My little one, the beauty of Life continues in the silence of each day. The body grows and changes without daily notice, but still is growing silently. During their lifetimes my people fail to recognize also their silent visitation from the Holy Trinity. Nothing remains the same. Each moment life changes, but the Holy Trinity remains the same, yesterday, today and tomorrow, offering the fruition of Love of Life eternal. In the silence of My Birth, My Life and My Death, life continues on for My people as a gift from the Holy Trinity and the invitation for them to know who they are as they were created to be. The year rolls over into a new millenium in silence, but the Love of the Holy Trinity continues to give Life. Every soul is created to give God glory, but every soul must find out the meaning of this gift and its mission to Love.

Now let us continue on from where I last ended:

21. My Mother, the Teacher

This is a new day. We, the Holy Family, still live in Egypt. I am sitting on My father's lap facing him. My forehead is pressing into My father's forehead, and I'm staring right into his eyes. Our noses are touching and My hands are cupped around each side of his face. He looks into My eyes, too.

I say, "Boo!" He smiles, and My mother walks in.

"It is time for your lesson, Jesus," she says.

I descend from My father's lap feeling grownup and proud of My independence. Respectfully and obediently I approach My mother. "But, Mom, first dad has something for you. I have something for you, too. It is your birthday today. Daddy told me he made you a rocking chair but to keep it a secret."

Joseph walks into the room and smiles most reverently and humbly, as he has heard what I just told Mother. "Happy birthday, Mary!", he said.

"Yeh", clapping my hands I say, "happy birthday!"; and then I reach with open arms and hug My mother's legs. She picks me up and smiles. I give her three big kisses on her left cheek and I make the Cross on her cheek.

"Thank you, my loved ones. I love you," she said. After it was over, we (My mother and I) sat on the new rocking chair. "Let us begin soon with your lesson. Today we will continue on with the recitation of the Canticle of Moses, the song of Moses before he died."

Mother says it, and I repeat after her. "Give ear, O heavens, while I speak." We spend ten minutes learning and reading the words. I do not know how to read just yet, but I pretend to know.

Then we say our prayers; and mother tells me a story about Moses and the land sworn to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob; about how Moses died in the land of Moab; and about how Joshua was filled with the Spirit of Wisdom.

"No prophet arose in Israel like Moses whom the Lord knew face to face," said My mother.

With those words I smiled and clapped. I hugged her neck and jumped off her lap, marching out of the room proclaiming in an authoritative voice, "Give ear, O heavens, while I speak."

01/25/00

22. Our Life in Nazareth

Well, little one, it came time for us to leave Egypt. My father waited until the climate was conducive for travel back to Nazareth. We carefully planned our travel and packed our belongings with precision and care. I personally gathered My precious wood carvings, wagon, and "little" lamb. We said good-bye to our friends, especially Elam, who had helped us find lodging when we arrived.

Summer was ending and autumn was nearing by the time we made our return to Nazareth. You could see the anticipation and wonderment in the eyes of My father as we were nearing Nazareth. My mother, in her wisdom and beauty, safeguarded the interior attacks on My father by saying, "Joseph, God is good to have protected us and provided us with the necessities of life. He surrounded us with His angels who protected our dignity, and He spared us from the sword of evil. It is good to return and give Him glory and praise through our courage and peaceful, resigned manner. All will be well, for God is with us."

"Yes, my beloved," Joseph responded, filled with many emotions. "I am certain Alphaeus has taken good care of our home. It is good to return. Let us sing a song of psalms to our Father for our safe arrival." We then sang our way into Nazareth. As we entered our home, all of us were silent. Father broke the silence by saying, "Well, let me unload our belongings and make us a little more comfortable."

"Yes, Joseph, and I will prepare something for you and Jesus with the leftover food with which we traveled. I am sure you both are hungry, and you need nourishment."

It didn't take me long to begin jumping and helping My Father. Not long after we settled in, My father's brother Alphaeus and his wife came over with My two cousins Judas and James. They visited for awhile as we "three" played with stones and some of My wood shavings.

Alphaeus said, "Well, it will soon be time for school to begin for the boys. I expect Jesus will be joining them?"

My Mother said, "No, I will be teaching Jesus," which met with startled looks from My dad's brother and his wife (Mary).

But My dad said, "No, Mary will teach Jesus. She grew up in the Temple and knows the law just as well as any scholar. She shall teach Jesus, and I will teach him my trade. He will grow in dignity and learn the ways of manhood."

With those words, Mary (Alphaeus' wife) said, "Oh, perhaps since you will be home teaching and the boys love Jesus so well, and because the family has been apart awhile since you have been gone, perhaps they could join Jesus in His studies?"

My mother smiled; and as she said, "Of course," Judas, James and I ran into the kitchen area screaming "hurray" and hugging My Mother. The three of us boys then walked outside arm in arm. This is where I shall end this part of our entrance back into Israel.

Peace, little one. The role of the family is quite important, and I would like all the world to know the implications if the family unit did not exist. There would be a broken society, filled with heartbreaking consequences and great suffering. A father and mother are needed to bring up each child with a healthy mind, heart and soul. Without families there would be tremendous perversions of many kinds. Ponder how the Truth becomes obscured and how the lives of humans harmed through deception and falsities of life when love and schooling in the areas of the true law are not brought to maturation through the family unit consisting of mother and father. Peace.

23. At School with My Cousins

By the time we returned to Israel, I was nearly five years of age. The next morning I was playing with two sticks, squatting low to the ground as if I was a little drummer boy. As My Mother passed by she proclaimed, "Beautiful music, Jesus,"; to which I responded, "Love it."

I was having a wonderful time. My two imaginary friends were in a procession with me. Then I began to march and hit My sticks, sounding the 'rat-tat-tat' on each other. Then with a sudden stop, I looked to My mother and said, "Momma, the soldiers are all around, and we must hide to protect the treasure."

My Mother said, "Where are we going to hide, Jesus?'

I said, "Over there so the soldiers won't find us. We have to keep our treasure safe, and we can't let them find it."

"What is the treasure, Jesus?"

"The gold. Can't you see all this gold, right here?"

"Oh, of course, yes, my Son; we will make sure all is protected."

At that point my two cousins came over as there was a knock at the door. "Let's play, Jesus!" screamed Judas and James.

Mary (My aunt) walked in and said to My mother, "Blessed morning to you, Mary."

"Oh good morning. Please come in and rest a while as the boys get reacquainted and ready for school. I am in the process of making straw baskets today and thought I would show the boys how they are made, and then complete our lesson on Moses"

"Thank you, Mary, but I must return to Alphaeus who asked me to assist in some home affairs."

"Well Peace be with you, my sister; and God go with you today."

In the background you could hear the laughter of the three of us boys shouting "rat-tat-tat."

My mother allowed us to play for a little while, and then she called us to come inside for our lesson on Moses. We responded quickly and gathered around her. It was clear that James needed some tempering as well as focusing skills, but My mother in her way was able to quickly gain his attention and listening heart.

Then mother began, "When Moses finished his song to the assembly of Israel, he told everyone to take to heart the warning which was given to them, and how all the people had the responsibility to pass on and enforce the law of God onto their children because it is a serious matter of life, both Life in God and a long life on the land they were about to gain as they crossed the Jordan.

"Afterwards, Moses went up to Mount Nebo which faced Jericho, as God had instructed him, and viewed the land of Canaan, which was going to be given to the Israelites as their possession; but he was not allowed to cross over and enter the land. He could only view it at a distance, because he had broken his covenant of faith with God at the waters of Meribath in the desert of Zin by not maintaining the sanctity among the Israelites. And there, children, Moses died in the land of Moab. He gave the tribes the blessing which I will teach you about later. Before Moses died he laid his hands on Joshua, who thus gained Wisdom; so that the Israelites would then be obedient to Joshua who would lead them across the Jordan and gain domain over all the land of the Hittites, from Lebanon to the River Euphrates and west to the Great Sea."

"How old was Moses when he died?" asked James.

"He was 120 years old, son. Now do you want to help me with my baskets? I am weaving baskets, and I need some strong helpers who can help with such an important task. Do you know any boys who would like to assist me?"

And all of us screamed, "I will, I will!"

24. The Painful Truth

As I walked into the room today, I heard My mother exclaiming in song, "I love you, O Lord, My strength, My God, My Shield. You have protected us, and kept us safe. Praised be your Name."

"Good morning, little one," she said with an inviting smile.

"Momma, why do people say mean words and hurt other people?"

"Many people do not desire to know the Truth as outlined by our forefathers; and through fear, they reject Love. They avoid responding to the Will of God. Perhaps, if they knew the Truth, they would respond."

"I shall teach them," I said.

"Jesus, you must learn and grow in Wisdom. Do not be quick to speak."

"Why, momma?"

"Because, my Son, if you unveil too quickly an area which would expose or challenge a need for change, many times people may not admit or agree that change is needed and will reject you. Often times soldiers will even hurt you, if you offend them and expose their lack of charity. Few people desire true 'littleness' because they want to be in the light of fame, power and popularity. Please, be careful, Son. With time, as you continue to grow, you will teach Your Way of Love through action, silence and the proper words."

"I will show you, momma, that I will be wonderful. Watch Me. Listen to this;" and as if projecting to a forum of people, I said, "O listen, people of this region. I say to you, it was not Moses who gave the bread from Heaven. My Father gives you the True Bread. This is the True Bread which gives you Life. Hear the Truth, O people. (Clap, momma.)"

"Alright, my little one, now let us work together for Your father is soon to return home for something to eat. My heart is glad, little one." With a hug from My mother, I joyfully skipped to the door to look for My father.

Let us stop here for today, child. I want to share with you the importance of this lesson. People are all happy and eager to receive praises and to hear good, complimentary virtues about themselves; but the moment they are challenged with the Truth of My words, they become hesitant to receive anymore. Whether My words are spoken through the priest, rabbi, prophet, teacher, parent or any other person, everyone has the free will to decide to accept My Word or reject it. As trials and purgations surface in their lives, many struggle and run by trying to justify their own causes instead of trusting in My words and allowing Me to grace them to meet their challenges in peace.

The closer you get to Me, the more you must be cleansed, purged and tried, so that you can obtain total union with the Trinity and live in eternal peace. Silence, prayer and continuity in works of mercy will speedily gain you victory in My Love.

I give, I take away, I restore so that each soul can have the opportunity to become perfect and be able to share in the Beatific Vision of the Triune God. The Truth will always in the end be made known, even though it may take time to clearly understand. This is because pride, sins of malice, ways of confusion, division and even scandal block My Truth and become obstacles to growth in humility. I desire all to be My friends. I no longer desire servants as slaves, but as friends and companions. I desire all to join in harmony and live in peace. Even if there is not harmony, you can still individually gain My interior Peace.

I bless all people and give all people the opportunity to receive the grace to grow in the holiness of the Saints. The question is, when I give the grace and need arises to purge them of sin, who will remain faithful and hopeful in My Love? Silence, prayer, works of mercy and charity all abound in the fruition of grace and reveal the Truth of My Word. Peace.

25. Hiddenness

My dear child, do you understand why it is important now to remain "little" and silent in your heart? It is best to keep the treasure of knowledge, which is granted to you from my Father, hidden in the silence of your heart. The more you reveal to people, the more they want to prove themselves worthy. The more they dislike you, they open their hearts for the vice of the sin of jealousy to enter. People will even go as far as to destroy your entire identity if you allow them. It is important to simply observe the actions of others. You will find out who is an authentic friend and follower of my Truth.

My father desires that humanity see Me in each other. See Me in your children. See me in your family, friends, acquaintances, work partners, and even your enemies. It is necessary each moment, as best you can, to be aware that when you are interacting with someone, you see Me.

I could prevent any mishappenings, wars, or unfortunate illnesses from surfacing. I could cure and save nations by providing signs and miracles. I could let the entire world know I am the Just Judge and Savior, but I remain hidden and silent so that I may reveal, purge and sanctify. The time is nearing, however, when all of humanity will have the opportunity to see their wrong doings and inner selves in order to be able to focus on the Truth of God and change; but now and throughout history, I have remained mostly silent and hidden.

When I was seven, I will tell now you what happened:

My mother was sitting on her stool, praying in the evening with my father. I ran up to her, jumped on her lap, put my nose right up to her nose, and looked into her eyes. With my two hands I patted her cheeks and said, "Hi, momma, whatcha doing?"

"We're praying, Son, and giving praise to the Almighty for His wondrous works today. As the day draws to a close it is very necessary to always thank God for His assistance, and we reflect on how we can do better in our failings and interactions."

"Yes, Son," Joseph replied, "how could I perhaps have given more in charity to aid my neighbor at the shop, and how could I have been more compassionate and loving?"

I replied to my father Joseph, "Was someone mean to you today, father?"

"Jesus," My mother said, "there are many people who may be in need, who desire more, or who are ill and even dying. We ponder why they suffer so much pain alone, and we strive to help them and to love them the best we can without offending their honor or dignity. God desires all to assist one another and to see His Light in each person. In His infinite Wisdom, God deems what is necessary for eternal happiness and safety. We cannot solve everyone's needs, but we can love them and support them spiritually as they go through their sufferings. The Almighty knows what each person needs for salvation. Many people resist, become angry, have other passions, or do mean things to others; and because of this, some people suffer injustice or are imprisoned, and maybe even killed. God watches from above in hopes that they will choose Life through Love."

"I will change that, momma. I will save the world so they will no longer suffer. Then when they look at each other, they will see Me," I said while patting my mother's cheeks. "Anyone who sees Me will be happy."

My father Joseph looked at me with a curious look and question in his eyes.

I said, "It's OK. I will save the world. I will teach them the Truth, and everyone will be happy forever!"

"Even so, Son," my mother answered, "how you teach is important and that it is done in a hidden, loving manner. As God the Father remains hidden and watchful, so too must you. All must learn the Will of the Father and live it in His Light, Love and Peace."

"Yes, momma. Alright, I will be hidden." Off I jumped from her lap and ran into the other room. My parents continued to pray quietly and together in peaceful union.

(Our Lord continues.) You see, my dear one, my mother and father Joseph taught me, as all parents have a responsibility to teach their children. My Mother taught me the hidden way to follow in the footsteps of My Father the Almighty. That is not to say that I remained silent always, especially when I witnessed wrong doings, like when they made My Father's House look like a market place. I learned through the social graces of My parents in the world when to speak and when to observe.

God the Father remained silent throughout history in times of devastations and sufferings, even through My Death. This is the Mystical Union. Those who remain loyal and faithful in their suffering are joined in Union with the Trinity. I do not interrupt this Union in times of tragedy or sufferings, unless willed by My Father. Otherwise, I would have spared the tragedies and sufferings of those dear to Me when I walked the earth.

The fulfillment of salvation came through My Sacrificial Offering; and each person has the opportunity through their own suffering to join in this Mystical Union of My Love, Faithfulness and Loyalty to God the Father, just as I was loyal and faithful to Him.

Unfortunately, far too often the free choice in the human will, the lack of love, and poor choices cause suffering and even destruction; such as is the case in war. But even in these occurrences, God the Father gives each person the opportunity to join Him and the Holy Trinity in this Mystical Union.

26. Samuel, Saul & David

I was sitting in the kitchen area around the table as my Mother was working with a piece of fabric, and I propped My head on My hands as My elbows supported them resting on the table. There I gazed upon the beauty of My mother. In awe I simply looked at her and admired how meticulously and with what great love and patience she wove the cloth. My mother glanced up at me and caught that mesmerizing look in My round eyes.

"What is it, Son?"

"Oh, I thought you'd like to tell me a story about one of the great prophets," I said. "I mean I will watch you do your chores, and I will listen to you. We'll have a meeting, a special one, just between you and me!"

"Oh, I see," Mother responded. "Well, Samuel was a great prophet. He was a seer. They called someone a 'seer' when they were closely connected to God. Samuel responded to God when God called Him three times in the night as he was sleeping. He responded by saying, 'Here I am Lord, your servant is listening.'

"Well during the time of the Philistines, when the Ark of the Covenant was amongst them, there was a King of Israel by the name of Saul. Saul oftentimes was tormented because God had rejected him as king when he disobeyed God's commands. When Saul was tormented, his servants would advise him to listen to a harpist so that the music would soothe his sentiments and comfort Him.

"David was the son of Jesse. Jesse had seven sons besides David. David was the youngest, and he used to play his harp in the fields when tending to his sheep. He was a young, handsome fellow. Samuel was sent to Jesse because the Lord wanted him to anoint David.

"As his servants advised Saul of the harpist, Saul sent his servants to Jesse to ask if David could join his service. Saul would ask David to play his harp when he was afflicted and anxious. Saul took a great liking to David, and he too became very special to David.

"At that time there was a rugged, big man by the name of Goliath who was a Philistine. He was mean and brutal. The Israelites and the Philistines had gathered together for a big battle. Goliath had defied God and the Israelites. He challenged Saul to send one of his men to fight him. If Goliath killed him, the Israelites would have to succumb to the Philistines. If Saul's chosen warrior killed Goliath, the Philistines would belong to the Israelites."

"What happened, momma?"

"Well, Son, David went to Saul and pleaded that he be chosen to save Israel. Saul permitted David to face Goliath. Goliath, seeing David in his handsome youthfulness, swore against God and threatened David, pledging to kill him and leave him for the wild birds to eat his flesh. David, anointed by the blessing of God, responded back with Goliath's words; and he told him that he would cut off his head because God was on his side and that the Lord of Hosts would save him."

"Wow," I said, "what happened, what happened?"

My mother continued, "Well, David selected five smooth stones to use with his sling. Goliath mocked him because he had a metal helmet and sword, and David did not have any armor, only his sling and smooth stones. Saul had given him garments to wear, but David had refused. As the two approached one another, David took a stone and hit Goliath right in the forehead, and down Goliath went. And then, as David had said, he took Goliath's sword and cut off his head. With that, the Philistines fled in fear."

There I sat with my mouth open and eyes fixed on my Mother who continued to weave her fabric. "The point of this story, my Son, is that God fights battles not with swords. He knows the incentives of each heart. The battle God fights is a different battle. Those He anoints save His chosen ones. But as always with the anointed and chosen prophets, there are those who become jealous, just as in the days of Saul and David. David did wondrous works, and Saul ended up being jealous of David. Saul planned to destroy him and kill him David, even after he had rescued Saul from the Philistines.

"It is the same today. They will love you, Son, for your good works, and then become jealous of you and seek to destroy and kill you. But God will prevail, and His Temple will never be destroyed. The flesh may die, but the Spirit lives forever."

With that, my Mother got quiet and she looked flushed. I saw tears welling up in her eyes, so I hopped off my stool, gave her a quick kiss on the cheek, and ran outside.

27. More on Samuel, Saul & David

My little child, let us continue. This scene takes place a couple weeks after my special meeting with My Mother.

My father Joseph, my mother and I were walking up to visit my cousins. As they were joined in conversation, I asked My mother, "What happened next with David after he slew Goliath, knocking that big giant down with a stone and cutting of his head, momma?"

My father immediately looked up at My mother with a stunned look in his eyes. "What's this now, Son?"

"Oh, you should hear about this story, father. This big mean giant tried to kill David, and David with one stone killed him and cut off his head."

"The giant had blasphemed God," Mother said, "but God rescued David and he won!"

"What happened then, Mother?"

"Yes, Mary, what did happen then?" asked my father.

I saw my Mother smile as her eyes gazed downward. I knew then that she would continue on. With a big smile on my face I clapped my hands.

Mother continued as we walked. "Well, when David returned after slaying Goliath, the people gave him so much praise and spoke so highly of him that Saul became jealous. The people were praising David more than King Saul, so he sought out to kill David. David was sent on an expedition by Saul in hopes that he would be killed, but he was instead victorious. It got to the point where King Saul began to fear David because the Lord God was with him.

"Saul tried to marry off his daughter to David, promising her to David if he would win the battles, but in truth hoping the Philistines would kill him; however, David always won. David did eventually marry Michal, who truly loved David, but that did not stop Saul in his obsession to kill David.

"Now Saul's son, named Jonathon, honored David. It was Jonathon who confided to David his father's intention to destroy him. Jonathon spoke to his father on David's behalf about how God brought great victory to Israel through David, and he convinced his father not to beget a crime which would make him guilty of shedding innocent blood. Initially Saul abided and agreed, but his spirit of envy and jealousy continued to brood and intensify to the point that Saul himself attempted to kill David with his sword."

"What happened, momma? What happened? Isn't this a great story, father?" When I looked at my father, he didn't say anything. He just looked at My mother. I wasn't sure why he didn't answer me, but I didn't wait either. So I said to momma, "Go on! Go on!"

"David's wife, Michal, helped David down the window one night after she informed him that there would be another attempt on his life in the morning. So David escaped."

At that point my father looked away as he remembered quite well how, in the middle of the night, he too was informed that he should gather me and my mother in order to escape the bite of death.

My mother said, "Joseph, are you well?"

And then my father said, "God is good, and blessed is His Name that he spares the innocent and protects His beloved chosen ones."

"Well, where did he go, momma?"

"He went to see Samuel, the great seer and prophet. People would prostrate themselves there in prayer and give praise to God." Then, looking at my father, my Mother said, "It is time to ponder this part of the story, Jesus. We'll go on later."

28. The Faithfulness of My Father Joseph

I ran up ahead of my father and mother, picking up stones and tossing them as mother and father spoke privately.

"I remember, Mary," Joseph said, "that night of terror for me when we had to escape and flee to Egypt to save Jesus' life. I remember the fear I held in my heart for you and for our loved one; the fear to leave our belongings, to move and start anew; the fear of the responsibility of providing and caring for my family and to protect the Treasure of God Almighty entrusted to me. I was afraid, Mary. I did not know what would happen, where we would go, and how I would supply us nourishment."

"Yes, Joseph, but God was victorious through your bravery and humility. You said 'yes' to God, and we were entrusted to your faithful care. Through your fatherhood, God's work of salvation will be manifested. Your obedience and faith, Joseph, joins with mine in revealing to the world the Divine Mission of our All-powerful God. Together we can praise God that we share our faith. Our union is blessed by God and through our fidelity will purify families. God will share with the world the Revelation of Jesus on this pilgrimage of faith. Thank you, Joseph, for guarding us and communicating your tender love unconditionally. Our Love has its origin in God the Father. He will watch over us. Your self-sacrifice is a great gift to us. God's blessing is upon you, Joseph, for accepting the Truth of the angel's announcement and being the guardian of Jesus, taking on the Fatherly authority as His father."

30. More on Faith

"Jesus, my Son, down through the ages, with all the blessed prophets that God the Father gave to the world, their testimonies of faith proclaimed the Truth of the Good News. Each one testified to their faith in God. Faith, the great gift, proved to the peoples of Israel that nothing is impossible with God. Those who chose wicked ways and committed evil sins did not live by faith and trust in God."

I stared at My mother, starry-eyed, taken by her melodic tone of voice and captivating teaching skills. We were sitting across from one another. I was propped up tall, sitting at the edge of my stool. She was sitting across from Me with her hands on her lap leaning towards Me.

"What does faith entail?" I asked.

"Faith is to believe and trust in God's Love for you. It is the Fountain of Life where you see the Light of God. Those who choose evil have no fear of God. They have no repugnance for sin. But those who are children of God take refuge in His words and live in the ways of kindness. No one, Son, can ever be made right in God's sight at this point until He declares us 'not guilty'."

"I will change that, momma. I will take away their sins, no matter who they are or what they have done. I will free them in my kindness, and their faith will be their means of being saved. They will be 'not guilty'."

"Yes, Son, the punishment you will accept for the sins of mankind will silence God's anger. Faith is one of the most important virtues and gifts from God. It was faith that saved all the prophets. Look at Abraham, for example. Was it his good deeds that so pleased God and made him not guilty, or was it his faith in God? He believed and trusted God. He knew he did not earn his right to be with God, but that God had given him the gift to be free and saved. All who will have faith in God will be saved."

"You can add all who will have faith in Me, momma, will be saved. But what about the laws, momma?"

"Jesus, Abraham our spiritual father was saved and found favor with God through his faith alone. God created him and gifted him with His blessings before he became a Jew by the Jewish traditions and laws. The reason that Abraham was promised the descendants of the earth was because He trusted what God told him would happen. He trusted in God's promise, and God made Abraham the father of many nations.

"God's blessing of faith is a free gift. Now let us rejoice in this wonderful Truth of God. Regardless of whether you follow all the customs and keep all the laws, if you have faith like Abraham, you will receive the promises of God."

I got up and hugged My mother. I wrapped My arms around her neck and said, "I like the way you teach me. You get a big kiss for that!" Then I gave her a big kiss on the cheek. We both smiled and laughed as we looked at each other. She stood up, and I ran outside to play.

31. The Love of My Mother

I was sitting on My mother's lap facing her. She was looking at Me. I put both my hands out (palms down) towards her. She kissed both my hands, one first and then the other. Then I turned My hands over. She kissed the other side of My hands, one first and then the other. I did this three times, and each time she kissed My hands. Then I put My hands on her neck, and I laid My little head on her shoulder.

She held me ever so lovingly. She did not say anything to me. Our Love for one another joined the Love of the Holy Trinity. How important this is for people to take time to love one another. A moment's rest, a prayerful smile, a genuine look of concern, all send the love and embrace of comfort My mother gave to Me, joined with the Love of the Holy Trinity.

When I was little, times like that gave me the strength later to endure and persevere the torment and agony from people's lack of love. There were moments when I was young that I never wanted to leave My mother's arms. That is why I held on to her for comfort. I would experience a fear of being alone and abandoned. I did not know at that age what the extent of my anguish later would entail, but I would feel alone and frightened.

My mother would hold me. She did not need to say anything. I wanted her comfort. I was safe with her. She knew exactly how too calm me, love me and protect me with her motherly Love. No one could replace the Love My mother had for Me and continues to have for Me as well as for all the children of the world. She formed me in her womb, and my soul knew her well.

O' would it be wise and well if people took these words of mine and placed them in their hearts! Praise is ever fitting and necessary to comfort me and to assist in My designs. All is in the Hands of God! I am here and very much aware of the situations at hand. Do not doubt in the Way of God, but believe and be glad.

My mother will comfort you as she comforted me. She will hold you, calm you, love you and protect you. She is your Mother, too. She will teach you as she taught Me. She will show you the Way and lead you to Me. She will take you the safest and most direct Way. So, if you ever feel alone or abandoned, you too will have the strength to endure and persevere.
