Jesus said: "My child, I am your Jesus. Welcome, once more, into My
presence. Be encouraged, dearest one, about the rest of your life! And
now, let us begin:

My dear ones of the Sacred and Immaculate Hearts, be convinced in your
minds and hearts now, once and forever, of the truth of the words I now
give to you. Be emptied of doubt and critical judgement of this
messenger. Praise and thank My Father for His generosity to sinners and
weak instruments (just like all of you) in choosing them to bring words of
peace and direction while, at the same time, confounding the proud in the
conceit of their hearts.

Be ready to suffer more, My loved ones, the disdain and contempt of the
world. Please ask Our Spirit for more strength and endurance. Again, you
must care not about the attitudes of the world, especially those closest to
you, who have a greater ability to fill you with pain and sorrow, hurt and
humiliation. Ask every day for new ability to suffer ridicule and rejection.

The God of all sees into the hearts of all. Let Him find abandonment to
His Will and mercy for others in yours! Let Him see your sincere motives
to please Him; to give praise and honor, love and thanksgiving for all He
allows to occur from now on, for all of His gifts, for holy companions,
for the love that grows and the desire to obey that blossoms in your hearts.
Let Him see these promises lived out in the service that will be required to
all who come to you for help. These most important aspects (of the rest of
your time here on Earth) will bring you the salvation desired first and
foremost by your Creator and Lord.

You will be able to let go of the world completely now, My faithful ones,
if even only in your heart. But this is where your surrender must happen.
This heart of yours must be swept clean now, emptied of people and the
props you use to identify how ‘well' you are doing, how much you love
Me and your extended family members.

Let go of everything now, please, except prayer and My words to you here
and from other faithful messengers, and all that you find in Scripture. Seek
no equality with anyone. Be emptied now and accept the life of a
slave,--no, a friend,--for I call you all friends who keep My Father's
Commandments. Become mercy, become obedience, become the patient,
loving instrument you find in Me! Do not limit My gifts by your
obstinance and disbelief.

Lent is a time of discovery of new insights into your own life and
behavior, and Mine! Come and receive, My precious ones. Spend the
remaining days of Lent in love (prayer) and adoration (praise and
gratitude). Become victims of Love, along with Me, for the salvation of
the world. This understanding and action on your part has NEVER been
more important, My beloved.

TRUST in Me and persevere through all the trials that now increase in
your lives. These are the jewels of your heavenly crowns, the coins with
which you purchase salvation for all of your families and loved ones.

Tell the world to get behind you! Leave behind all who are not of Me, but
continue to carry them on the cross of isolation from all the allurements
of Satan in preparation of yourselves and death to sin in your hearts and
the whole world.

Give up fear for the rest of Lent, My dearest ones!

Give up doubt and critical attitudes, rejection of Our words and all the
plans of My Father for your own salvation.

Give up, give in to the Father's agenda for your life, His gifts and graces,
His choices for your time spent in greater union with Me and our loving
Mother.

Reread these words, My special, faithful ones. Try it! You will like it!!

I am your Jesus, Who knows you intimately every hidden desire, every
area of resistance to Our requests. When you are standing in the light of
Christ, there is no place to hide, no dark corner in which to make devious
plans. This Light which now envelops you, My people, will never be
overcome by the darkness of Satan. Remain in the light, children of My
longing, while time and light remain!

Stay forever in My Heart, dearest ones. Continue to become one with Me."
 
 

PRAYER ASKED OF US FROM JESUS
      via Carol Ameche, Scottsdale, Arizona, on January 20, 1998.

Father, we kneel before Your Majesty and ask Your action
In our lives and in the world.
Enact Your plan now, Father, to bring all Your people back to You
In love and remorse and repentance.

Allow Your Justice, guided by Your Mercy,
To pour forth upon the waiting world that knows not Your Love and
power.
Bring us back to Your loving arms and scoop us up in Your Mercy and
forgiveness.

You are Our God and Our Creator, Our Savior and Our Sanctifier.
We beg You, Father, receive our prayers and answer us.    Amen.
