Dear Father:
I love You and I want to do Your Will. …
Daughter:
… You must cling to Me and hold tight so that you are not blown about in the
winds of change that are upon you. Do you sense them? Of course you do. It is
none other than My Decree. I desire change at this time. I call My children to
Me. I MUST have their attention. I clap My Hands to cause alarm and surprise
so they will stop and listen.
This is the call. “THE” call, child. THERE WILL BE NO OTHER AFTER THIS. Into
My Arms you must all run so that I may gather you up and take you home. You
have sensed this. This is what makes you feel anxious. Pray, Barbara, pray,
that your brothers will hear Me.
The rhapsody played out on the strings of My Heart play a sorrowful tune for
those who are lost to Me through their choice. But pray. Pray, Barbara, that
all will seek their Father, God of Heaven and Earth. FATHER OF ALL.
Deep within the recesses of the soul is a quiet spot where only I can reside. All
are born with it. Here you can and must meet Me so that I can draw you to
Myself. Spend time with Me, daughter. For I am a good and loving Father. I
give My own what they deserve truly from their only Father—My legacy—My
Love. MY OWN DO NOT DEPART FROM ME.
Write: Inside all of you is a tabernacle designed by Me. It has been buried and
medicated and covered with the distractions of the world. Uncover it, child.
This secret place.
Say: I LOVE YOU, FATHER AND I GIVE MYSELF TO YOU!
In this way, they will find Me—in the Love they bear Me in their Hearts.
… You are My treasure. My true servant. Chin up, little one. Your service is
good. Your love is better. Stay near Me in your quiet place. Daughter, I am in
control of all. Give to Me as I am giving to you—responsibility, fidelity, and
trust. Rest your family in My Heart and stay with Me. Sleep now. I am with
you. Always--
I love You, Father, and I give myself to You.

Padrito reflection
Father says that He created a place in us where only He can reside. This means that we can let Him in or not let Him in but no one and nothing else can reside there. It can be buried medicated and covered over but He alone can actually reside there. This is a mystery. What it means though is that fears, doubts, hurts, worries, etc., are things that in some way can cover over this interior tabernacle but can't take it over and can't actually enter into it. As St. Paul says, "nothing can separate us from the love of God." It means God has 24/7 access to us from within us. It is to us though, to keep it uncovered, to foster an openness to Him. Our fiat, our consecration to Him, our daily renewal in our Father Consecration Chaplet, is a self gift of our consent for Him to access and reign in that place in the deep recesses of our soul where only He can enter and reside. And that simple, beautiful loving prayer, " I love you Father and I give myself to You! " can be said anytime and keep us connected to Him in a rightly ordered way, the way that He Himself gave us as He stated that every time we pray the Father Chaplet we bind ourselves to Him.
I think it is important to note that the adversary of our souls will continuously attempt to get us to believe that he has access to our tabernacle. No. No. No. The devil is the father of lies and has no access to the place Father created for Himself alone to reside. Or the enemy serpent tempts us to believe that we somehow forsook that special place and God rescinded that gift and will no longer abide in us because of our sins. No. No. No. Because love does not look at the sin when He sees us, but at the great need of a child who is hurt and needs His help to get better. Let us remember that God is not only the final and perfect end to our journey, but He is the perfect means to that perfect end. He is not just the object to which we move towards but the way to reach the object for which we strive.
Pax et Bonum
