Messenger: We hide the truth, many times, from ourselves. We cover up the truth
from the past.
Jesus speaks: Look, My troubled souls, into your past. Children
(I speak of you as children, 80, 90, years old, you are children of the Father and the
Mother), you hide the truth about yourselves from yourselves. A person with a gloomy,
pessimistic attitude has a gloomy pessimistic attitude 40 years later. Do you change or
remain the same, using the same dysfunctional ways of relating because you have gotten
used to those you live with?
You must interact with others. People who keep themselves closed off
from others stifle their growth.
Look into your past, see the dysfunctional ways in which you interacted
with others. Do you live to serve others and look for their approval? Is that what makes
you feel worthwhile? There is a perfect way and an imperfect way.
This is the most perfect way:
At every moment you must live to please the Father. When you serve others, it is because
it is the Father's will. You truly feel in your heart you are loving and serving Jesus.
Many buzz around and work and work and they do it for approval of
others. Some are in a habit of sitting still and let others wait on them. They live their
whole lives like this.
One serves, one sits, the question is, is it God's will you serve and
His will your brother sits? Is it a habit you have learned from a dysfunctional family?
The man sits, the woman runs. Is it God's will? Then where does it stop, do the children
expect to be served likewise? Should all join in loving harmony and help one another if
all are capable? Is the man higher than the woman? After a hard day, if he worked to
provide the funds for the family, is it not right for the wife to serve him when he is
tired?
Has the woman's role changed so much that now she assumes equal
responsibility in securing family funds?
Is it God's will we work on Sunday? Do some parents teach their children
by their example that the family funds are more important than a family meal? Are some of
you forced to skip the family meal because spouses have their own life and schedule and
have enforced their unloving, unrelating ways on the family? Because they cease to share
in the proper communication, have they enforced their ways, disregarding other persons'
desires?
Does it not come down to the center within persons, formed and molded
through childhood and relationships in which many were forced to practice the
dysfunctional behavior of others and live that way?
My child, in the Reign of the Sacred Heart there will be one recognized
Master, the Almighty God. All will act to serve Him. There will not be dysfunctional
relationships in which one rules and the other must do what he says, regardless of sick
behavior involved.
There will be authority, but authority will come from men living under
God's feet, acting according to the Father's will. All will operate in loving harmony in
one mind and one will.
Messenger: We are most comfortable in a relationship that is
similar to other relationships we have had.
Psalm 33:11
but Yahweh's own plan stands firm for ever,
his heart's counsel from age to age.
Psalm 33:19
to rescue them from death
and keep them alive in famine.
Messenger: Generations may have acted a certain way.
We come out of a mold when we leave our families. We may have a mind of
our own, nonetheless we graduate from our families' schools. Our family or where we grew
up were our teachers. How was the school?
In a community, all these schools of learning are brought together. In a
particular community, Mary Smith was taught from the Smith family, Carol Jones from the
Jones Family, Suzie Que from the Que family, Dan King from the King family and Mrs. King
had a family of different origin. If all of these people joined in one community, they all
bring their own schools of learning.
When one begins to interact intimately with another, the imperfections
surface. There must be the willingness on the part of every person to be willing to die to
their imperfections and change. Some patterns of behavior are so strong and are damaging
to others in a community. It takes God's grace and a desire for great holiness to be
willing to look into oneself and openly share intimately what one thinks and feels.
A person who feels he can run to Jesus and spend lots of time with Him
and remains the same in his ways because he does not interact with others, may
significantly stifle his chance of growth. Jesus has brought us together in great oneness
in the Shepherds of Christ Movement. We have a deep personal relationship with Him, but we
realize that interaction on an intimate level with others helps us to grow in more perfect
ways of loving. Jesus wants us to be intimate in our love relationship with Him and
intimate with one another, sharing heartfelt love and feelings. We are not islands,
isolated pieces of humanity.
A man may be focused on his health. There is always some major problem
that needs to be looked after. He is dissatisfied with his job, always looking to escape
and find greener pastures. Some twenty years later, we may run into the same man with the
same story. (This is not to discredit real health problems, this is an example of how
patterned behavior fills our lives.) If the man has a wife similar to himself and works
with other such people, he can continue his depressive behavior patterns and not even
notice that his morbid concern for his health and his dissatisfaction are habits that he
has acquired, always looking for things that are wrong and focusing on what he doesn't
have rather than living very fully in the moment.
Unless we are willing to look at ourselves, we may go through our lives
experiencing the same problems with everyone we get close to and blaming it on everyone
and everything around us.
It takes grace to change. Christ gave us the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.
We ask Him to help us to die to the ways that are not like Him. Generation after
generation passes down ways of relating, ways of loving, in the family.
In the Reign of the Sacred Heart all will live in service of the King,
all will be dwelling in His pure and holy Heart and the Heart of Mary. Purity is found in
Their Hearts. We must let down our walls, look inside, and recognize we are all imperfect
and pray to God for grace.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our
death. Amen.
Mary speaks: My children, I give you my Immaculate Heart.
In my Immaculate Heart you will be made pure. I will take you to the
depth of the Heart of my Son.
Messenger: "I give my heart to Jesus and Mary with you in
love."
One mind, one heart, one God, our All.
One will, the will of the Father. Willfulness will be stamped out.
The old Eve, the New Eve.
Eve did her own will.
Mary did His will.
Mary Immaculate, help us to be pure and to unite in oneness according to
the Father's will.
Mary Immaculate, lead us to the depth of union with your Son.
Mary Immaculate, take us into His Heart that we will know the truth, for
He is the Way, the Truth and the Life.
Some of us think that all within us is the truth and is perfect, because
we were taught to act in a certain way. This does not make it right.
We will know the truth more as we dwell in Their Hearts and know more
how to love like Him.
Q: How do you feel writing from the question about our feelings every day has helped us to become closer in our relationship?
