Dearest sweetest Father:
Today I come to ask something of You, not because I deserve it, but because
You are all goodness and mercy. Please, Father, I ask that You draw close all
those You’ve put in my life and those who have no one to pray for them.
Shower them with Your grace and soften their hearts so that they are
someday with You in Heaven. Please, Father, I ask this in Jesus’ name. I
love You so much, Father. Please be with us all and help us to do Your will.
I love You, Father, and I am listening. Father, I am troubled in my soul as I
so keenly see all my sins and weaknesses and I wonder why You would ever
want to speak with me. Oh, Father, please help me to do Your will. Help me
to please You in all things. By myself I am nothing.
Hear Me, daughter: Can it be said that you are truly nothing? If I am with you
and in you, how can this be?
I didn’t mean to offend You, Father. I meant without You I am nothing.
This, My child, is insightful and true. When I rest in your heart, you are not
alone, but fortified and built up by your God and Father—a temple of My
Holy Spirit.
Then why do I still fall and sin, Father?
Recognize My presence and My promise to you—when you call Me to yourself
in love, I come and I am with you—there to be cherished, there to be made
recourse to in all things. But you must be open to the workings of My Spirit.
You must openly ask for My assistance and embrace My stirrings in you—some-
times like the flutter of a small and fragile bird, other times as the thundering
movement of a mighty storm—but always, I act in love—for you all. Do you
understand now?
Yes, Father. You’ve told me this before, but I keep forgetting, being so caught
up in the flurry of the world and looking only to myself for response and
decision making. Help me to remember Your words always.
Demonstrate your desire to fulfill My wish for you in this way, little one. Come
to Me each day, no exceptions, and breach the walls of your heart. Come to
Me there, where I repose. Let this serve as a reminder that you are not alone. I
sustain My children in many ways, but most of all I give them Myself through
My holy Sacraments. Utilize these gifts, dearest daughter. Sacrifice yourself
for others as I have sacrificed for you in the giving of My Son Jesus.
When I speak to you thus, I challenge your beliefs. But it is so. Reciprocate the
love I have shown you, for it is right and good. For all things flow back to Me,
your Lord God, for My greater glory. In this way, you are saved—through the
sacrifice of My Son Jesus and the sweetness of your “Yes.” In offering your life
back to Me, you receive eternal life with and in Me. I tell you that My children
are destined for this glory, if they will only say “Yes” to My will. What is My
will? That My children know, love, and honor Me as their one true God and
Father. Haven’t I loved you all? With an unceasing love? Unceasing, Barbara
Rose. Unceasing. Ponder this great truth and be glad. Your Father comes to
you in this time to watch over you and keep you, for you have been filled up
with what you lacked, the grace and wisdom of a beneficent Father who claims
His children as His own. Respond, respond to My call. And see the goodness
of your Lord. Resemble Me in all things, especially love.
Let My heart have wings so that I may fly to My Father. Let me be in His house
forever.
Be at peace, smallest rose of My heart. My peace I give you.
Jer 8:14—“Why do we sit still? Assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the
fenced city, and let us be silent there: for the Lord our God hath put us to silence,
and hath given us water of gall to drink; for we have sinned against the Lord.”
Jer 9:12-26—“Who is the wise man, that may understand this, and to whom the
word of the mouth of the Lord may come that he may declare this, why the land
hath perished, and is burnt up like a wilderness, which none passeth through?
And the Lord said: because they have forsaken my law, which I gave them, and
have not heard my voice, and have not walked in it. But they have gone after the
perverseness of their own heart….But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he
understandeth and knoweth me, for I am the Lord that exercise mercy, and judge-
ment, and justice in the earth: for these things please me, saith the Lord. Behold,
the days come, saith the Lord, and I will visit upon every one that hath the foreskin
circumcised. Upon Egypt, and upon Juda, and upon Edom, and upon the children
of Ammon, and upon Moab, and upon all that dwell in the desert: for all the na-
tions are uncircumcised in the flesh, but all the house of Israel are uncircumcised
in the heart.”
