The Prayer of Jesus before He was arrested


John 17:20-21

I pray not only for these
but also for those
who through their teaching
    will come to believe in me.
May they all be one,
just as, Father, you are in me
    and I am in you,
so that they also may be in us,
so that the world may believe
    it was you who sent me."


Messenger: Indeed this is the prayer of the Savior for His people that they will be one. He wishes us to be one body, living in love.

I experienced the immense oneness of the Father and the Son at the Consecration of the Mass on May 14, 1998. This is my reference point, this is the place I go to in order to find peace, warmth and security. Within the Heart of Jesus are found those treasures that unite us most fully to the Divine God. In giving ourselves to the pure and Immaculate Heart of the Woman we can unite more fully with the all holy God. Before a soul is permitted to go to heaven, that soul must be made pure. If necessary, souls must go to purgatory to be purified that they may fully unite with God. With insight from Our Divine Lord and the Blessed Mother, I write thus to you. I do not minimize the action of the Holy Spirit as He works within the heart of Mary to give us lights. It is through the action of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit acting in oneness that I record these revelations here.

A soul must be purified to unite with the all holy God. If necessary, souls, before entering heaven, must be purified in purgatory. On earth it is possible, even with our tainted human natures, to be in the deepest intimate union with the all-perfect God by uniting to the all holy, pure Immaculate Heart of our Mother. It is like a little heaven on earth.

We long for this union with our Divine God, for this is the reason we were created. Our eternity is this existence in immense oneness with our God. The depth of our union with God for all eternity depends on the maturity of our relationship with God here on earth. I say again, it is a wonder why all are not spending their lives trying to mature in a deeper love union with the Almighty God.

God is love, the more we unite to Him, the more we grow in this love union, the more we are loving to all and unite with all. Jesus is not divided with the souls He loves. He loves them all despite their sins and shortcomings. If we are to be one with Him, we cannot be divided with others, for He is one with them.

The Persons of the Trinity exist in perfect oneness and love. There are three Persons in the Trinity, but only one God.

This is our goal in all relationships: to die to the imperfections in us so that we can unite in greater oneness with one another. Imperfections within us that are not dealt with are the causes of many failures in relationships. All must be trying to face their faults more and more and die to them. People who see themselves as perfect fail to grow more in intimate relationships, for they feel they do not have any ways in which they must grow. If they do commit errors they cover them up. We must pray to know ourselves, including the knowledge of the flaws held hidden within our hearts so that we can work against them and act more like Christ.

Isolation allows the person to stay locked in his imperfections. Relationship according to God's will helps us to grow to be more like Christ. Many times it is most difficult to interact with others because we must actually die to old behavior patterns. It is through prayer and love, through God's grace acting within us, that, in dying to our imperfections, we will grow in greater oneness. It is in dwelling in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary that we are sanctified, made more holy through the action of the Holy Spirit as we unite in the deepest love union with Our heavenly Father.

When a soul is in the state of grace the Father, Son and Holy Spirit dwell with that soul in a most special way. The more the person is saturated with God's grace, the deeper the love union between the soul and the Almighty God. Praise God for these great gifts He has given to us. Let us thank God for allowing us to share abundantly in His divine life. We love you, worship you and adore you, our beloved God.

Jesus speaks: I call you to love. I command that you love God and one another. I do not wish you to talk behind each other's backs. How can you properly live in love when you talk about one another? This is the work of Satan. In a family and in other community life, problems of the parents and those in authority must be discussed lovingly with the children and those under them. I speak of talking to people, making oneself right and others wrong. This is not My way, to talk about each other. I ask you to love, I ask you to be united. Talking about each other divides you. I want you to be one body. I give authority to parents and leaders. In any family and community there must be obedience to those in authority. Those in authority must act in God's name, acting as I would act, loving and serving those underneath. Authority is not to give a person a position of power, it is to help carry out My work as I act in the person in authority.

The bottom line is this, I call you to genuine love. You cannot genuinely love and be divided. Love will always lead to oneness. You must live according to the rules of authority. Children must obey their parents. Bishops and priests have authority in the Church. The pope has the authority over all the Church, He acts in My name. I call you to love and service, I call you to love as I have loved you, I loved those who put Me to death. I call you to walk in My ways. I call you to grow in holiness. Relationships help all to grow in greater holiness. All those living in a family and in other communities will grow in greater perfection if they honestly try to live according to God's direction given in the Ten Commandments and the Holy Scripture. The rule that will bring the profound unity, as there will be during the Reign of the Sacred Heart, is living every second according to the Father's will. Until men live according to the Father's will, obeying the lines of authority, there will be "bumping of heads" and disobedience. There will be great disharmony, lack of oneness and lack of peace.

I give you this Commandment, love one another as I have loved you, I loved you to My death on the cross. I carried your sins on My back. I carried the sins of hatred toward your brother. Do you see My Blood and My wounds, can't you beg for grace and pray that you will unite in holy love? The devil is the master of division and hate. Whenever your heart is filled with hate and division, you must pray for grace.

You must guard against power struggles, trying to be in authority when you are not the one in authority. Satan attacks the lines of authority, for he wishes you to work in disobedience and confusion. Satan attempts to weaken and, if possible, remove the authority. This causes the family and community to be weakened and to malfunction. It causes confusion, pain and suffering. For example, disobedient children that weaken the authority of one or both of the parents.

There is a great struggle in families to obey authority. In religious life many must obey superiors that are not loving. There is great disobedience and problems with those not in authority trying to get their way.

Oh children, I love you so much, I died for you. Is this not enough to teach you about love, you with your sinful ways? I gave My life for you. The Almighty God, came to the earth, suffered and died for you.

Do not go to your friends and complain about your brothers. Do not go to others and complain about those in authority. Go to God. That is your problem, you sin in telling others unloving and hateful things about your brothers to make yourselves right and others wrong. You feel your power or authority has been weakened so you "dump" your garbage on another and make yourself feel superior. Try to work all problems out as you love your enemies. See through My eyes, the beloved souls I love, and love them. I do not tell those in authority to cover up major problems in the community and family, but many times complaining can be handled by writing a letter to Me and opening the Blue Book for My love letter. This is My gift I give to you. If you have made complaining about your brothers a habit, or living with a closed-off heart with those in the community and family a habit, try this method. Come to Me, if possible in front of the tabernacle, write Me a letter explaining your heart-felt pain and then open God's Blue Book, Volume III.

I love you so much, will you love for Me? When you love others, you are loving Me. What you do to them, you do to Me. God gives help for loving others, and in a special way when it is hard.

I love you, Jesus
