During this time on your earth, many are observing the solemn season of Lent. This is a good time for mankind to follow my life story as I took on a human form and became man.
Christmas time celebrated on the earth is a joyful time, a time of joyful anticipation of the arrival of a special child who came to save the world. At this special time, you are introduced to a lady named Mary who plays a very important role in the life of the child Jesus.
In the recalling of my adult life and the consequences of my suffering
and death, you again meet this
special lady, Mary. I would like to take this time to expound on the
two Marys who were so very
much a part of my life on earth.
My mother Mary was chosen from all women on earth by God the Father
to be my mother who
could lovingly care for me while in human form. As she took on the
role under trying circumstances,
she said YES to all of mankind and was the first human to accept the
will of God without question.
By her very nature she was kind, loving, and pure of heart. She was
very lovely by human standards. She loved her God, and she said YES because
of this deep, abiding love. She found out very early
that being chosen by God can have many drawbacks--for she learned that
she would suffer many
heartaches, but she stood steadfast in her loving devotion and overcame
all obstacles. She was the
ideal mother; she was the ideal woman--the lady who brought dignity
back to womanhood. For, you see, Eve, the first woman created by
God, failed him by disobeying his rules. Because of her fall, women were
dishonored by men--they had lost the dignity and honor that God the Father
had
bestowed on them when woman was first created.
Mary, because of her Magnificat, overcame the stigma that had befallen
woman and once again
brought woman into the dignity of God. By her loving acceptance of
the will of God, she brought
woman out of the degradation of sin. Every woman should be grateful
to her and acknowledge her
as her role model. She is my special envoy that I send to my people
to help them and warn them of
their enemy who wishes to destroy their goodness and turn man away
from God. I love her and
honor her as the perfect one who spent so many hours taking care of
my needs, never complaining,
only doing her duties, lovingly and with stoic courage because of her
love of God.
She has a place of honor in my kingdom. She is the new Eve of the world.
She is the brilliant star in
my constellation. She is love without a blemish. I gave her to man
as I was dying on the cross, for I
knew man would need someone to tenderly love and care for him as she
had cared for me, so I
entrusted my mother to be your mother for the lifespan of the earth.
Welcome her as your mother.
She will take good care of you, for she loves you and knows her divine
Son loves you. I say unto
you, do not speak ill of her or ignore her warnings, for she has been
instructed by me to be my gift bearer of peace and love to the world.
She is truly my ambassador of
good will that I send to my people on earth. Listen to her, love her,
but never adore her or place her
in a loftier role than her Son, for to do so, you hurt her and displease
the Father. She is a remarkable lady in every sense of the word. Because
of my love for her, I always listen to her petitions when she brings them
to the altar of God and pleads for man. So it is most appropriate to ask
her in my name
to bring your prayers to the altar of the Most High, where she is honored
and loved. Love her and
honor her as she truly reigns as Queen of Heaven.
In this Lenten season, you also are introduced to another woman called
Mary, Mary Magdalene.
She, too was very comely in her beauty. But unlike the other Mary,
she had first said NO to God
and turned against all of his Commandments. She ridiculed him, she
cursed him, she denied him, until one day she came face to face with him.
He looked into her eyes and forgave her and told her to go
and sin no more. When she met his gaze, she was struck dumb with shame
for her sins. No one
before him had ever loved her. When she met his gaze, her heart responded,
and she became one of his most faithful followers. It was to this Mary
that I appeared after my death for she never denied
me; she never turned her back on me after her conversion. She continued
to love me and accepted
my teachings when my own disciples floundered and became afraid. She
was never afraid to
acknowledge her master; she accepted me as her Lord and master. She
came to the cross with
Mother Mary and wept, seeing my agony. She comforted my mother and
was never afraid to show
her love for me.
Although the two Marys were worlds apart in their chosen lives, they
shared one thing in common,
their love for me--one as a mother, one as a faithful disciple.
The lesson I impart to you today is: No matter who you are, saint or
sinner, come to me, look into
my eyes. I will forgive your sins. Love me, keep the Commandments of
God, do my bidding, and I
will welcome you into my kingdom. I love you and want you to love me.
Learn of me and you will
discover a kind, loving master who will teach you how to live on the
earth and who will welcome you home, just as he welcomed his mother Mary
and his faithful servant Mary.
I ask you to study the two Marys and learn from them. One said YES immediately
to her God; the
other, a sinner, had to come face to face with her God before she said
YES. These two Marys are a study in contrast, but a study you will delight
in. During this time on your earth, as you prepare for
Lent and relive the story of the days that lead to my crucifixion and
resurrection, read about the two
Marys. Let them inspire in you the desire to say YES to your friend
and savior. I love you and I
await your love. You must repent as Mary Magdalene did and come back
into my fold. Say YES
and be obedient as my mother Mary, and you will find a tender, loving
master and teacher. I leave
you now to contemplate on this lesson.
My blessings to all of you!
I remain your friend and savior,
JESUS
