I appear my children on this former bank building in Florida, Our Lady Clothed with the Sun.

Messenger: For there is but one thing I seek, the desire of my soul to live in truth. As I live and exist in Him, His truth lives in me and I act in His truth. There is but one truth and it is His truth. He is the Way, the Truth and the Life. In dwelling in His Heart He is alive in us and we live in His truth. The Spirit works within the heart of the woman living and dwelling in Him. It is this profound unity of knowing and existing in this place of union with our Divine God that we seek.

I know this place of oneness of the Father and Son revealed to me at the Consecration in the Mass. It is in this existence, in this oneness I know that no matter what goes on around me, I know this existence of this place. It is a foreshadowing of the eternal existence of living in Them for all eternity. This is the burning desire of my soul to exist in the deepest intimacy with my beloved God for all eternity, living and dwelling in the Heart of my beloved Savior. I have experienced the depth of intimacy with my Divine God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. My soul is saddened, for I wish to remain in this intense union with them now and forever. But as it was the will of Our Father that Jesus carried His cross and suffered even to the brutal death on the cross, it is the will of my God that I trod this barren desert land searching and seeking to live my life as deeply connected to Him as possible in this particular state of my life.

I see the martyrs, those that were willing to give their lives for Him. Many went to a brutal death in total isolation, wanting only their God. Within the soul is this intense craving for God that cannot be satisfied by any earthly person, place or thing. Within the soul is this driving thirst for this intense union with God. A driving force that leads a soul, such as a martyr, to choose Him rather than her own life on earth. It may not be that God will call us to martyrdom, but in this world today that has left little room for good, we suffer little martyrdoms all day long in living in a secular world. These little encounters with death, as I will call them, bring us closer to Him. For every time we choose to die to the ways of the world and live for Him we experience a taste of the resurrection.

So many little ones today think that suffering is something to steer clear of. However, a study of the life of our Savior shows us that suffering is in essence the very thing that leads to greater life in Him.

I must speak further of the truth, for it is that I wish to address. There is but one truth, it is found in Him. That center of truth is found within all of us, but this place is affected by the surroundings and the information we allow ourselves to take in. In the purity of our reading material, in the proper screening of all we watch and things we engage in, we can keep this center of truth most optimally connected to Him Who is the absolute truth.

The truth is found in living in God's will. At every moment the Father wishes us to live according to His plan. As we live according to God's will, we help to bring about the Reign of His Sacred Heart and triumph of her heart.

Jesus speaks: I am Jesus, I am the Son of God and the Son of Man and I speak to this woman that she would tell you My words. In the end all men will live in My truth, for the truth will be alive in them. The more you veer from My Commandments and My Word, the more you veer from the truth. There is but one Truth. The more you dwell in My Heart, the more My truth will live in you. I have asked you to spread the consecration that man will live more fervently according to God's will and live in My truth.

In the end there will be this merging of hearts, for as hearts are united to My Heart, it is the plan of the Father that is lived by the lives of so many. Do you not see it is so simple, but you make it so hard.

I act on the soul, I am the Initiator, I am God, I am in control. Man plans, and man prods, man deliberates and sets his dates and times. I Am, I do not think and deliberate, plan and wonder, My child. I am, I am God. To be likened to Me you must live in this spontaneity of existing in Me. How do you plan God? Silly child, I will not be controlled and planned out, I act as I choose, and no man tells Me when and how to act. I listen to your prayers, but I act as I see fit and for the good of all. You are all members of God's holy family. I see you as brothers and sisters living in love as the Father intended.

It offends your God when you are divided. God is love and God is one. There is one body, the Church. There is one Way, one Truth and one Life. There is one will of the Father, but every soul has a free will to operate according to God's will or his own. There will be harmony and peace when men pray for the Spirit of Truth to come and be alive in their hearts.

Many today cover up the truth in their hearts. In order for truth to be alive in you, you must embrace the hidden secrets you hold in your hearts. I say again "First to thine own self be true".

Will you live in the truth? The heart rooted in truth wears no false faces, the heart rooted in truth seeks to live purely in the truth and does not hide silly imperfections to save face with others. The one rooted in the truth is not smug or prideful. Truth is the wisdom of the saints. Truth is found in My divine Heart.

I am the Way, the Truth and the Life.

I come to give you life that you will have it more abundantly, not as the world would give you life. I give you My life, life in the Spirit alive in you. For you are the sons of the Father, masterpieces of His creation. The Holy Spirit breathed on you and into your mother's womb. You received a gift of life given from God to your parents. You are the tainted children of Eve, but the adopted sons of God.

You must see yourself in the splendor in which He has created you.

Amen, Alleluia.

You were created for God, to give Him honor and glory and adoration and praise.

You were created for love of God and each other.

You were created for things far greater than the world holds dear. You were created for God, the Almighty God, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. You were created to share a most intimate spousal union with God, living and dwelling in Him for all eternity.

And some day you will know the completeness, the joy of existing perfectly in Him.
