Jesus speaks:        
You can become
                                   
habitually
                                       
negative —
                           
You can think negatively
                               
most or all of the time.
                           
I give you a golden sun
                               
it is so huge to your
                               
eye — looking
                               
fire-like and you
                               
crawl into your
                               
negative corner —
                               
you can be selfish — so
                               
self focused — you
                               
look inward at
                               
what you want —
                               
you focus on the ground —
                               
you can give into satan —
                           
Many people say rosary after
                               
rosary, Our Father after
                               
Our Father and never learn
                               
to forgive —
                           
It is words I say and some
                               
lack mercy —
                               
will they be merciful
                               
to those who offend them —
                           
They call themselves holy, pride
                               
themselves on their holiness and
                               
lack love
                           
I forgave those who put me to
                               
death —
                           
You can have bags of unforgiveness and
                               
then try to pin your hatred
                               
on a scapegoat —
                           
They piled the sins on My back —
                               
I carried your sins of
                               
unforgiveness —
                               
mercy —
                           
You want forgiveness for your sins,
                               
but you don't forgive others
                           
You go to the Eucharist - half
                               
heartedly to receive Me and
                               
when you leave the church
                               
you speak of others with
                               
a discerning tongue and
                               
fail to see your own faults or
                               
look at how unforgiving
                               
you might be —
                           
Did you watch little ones at
                               
play —
                           
They may want a toy another has so
                               
much, but when distracted they
                               
usually don't come back
                               
to take up old arguments —
                           
Some adults remember so many
                               
unforgiving things and remember
                               
them wrong
                           
I loved you so much, I gave My
                               
life for you
Sing: Pardon Your People
Discernment of Spirits —
                               
Do you act on every whim
                                   
you have —
                               
Do you ask yourself if
                                   
- this is from God —
                                   
- just something you think —
                                   
- or if the devil is giving you
                                       
a prompting —
                                       
leading you off
                           
Then when you know you should
                               
say something — it ruins
                               
someone's reputation —
                               
you do it anyway —
                           
You have a choice to be holy or
                               
not —
                           
Do you take things into your own
                               
hands and say it is for a greater
                               
good and disobey authority —
                               
raise yourself above those
                               
over you so you weaken
                               
the very structure — because
                               
of your pride and how you give
                               
into satan to try to raise
                               
yourself up.
                           
A person — passively and aggressively
                               
attacked the institution because
                               
they themselves were full of
                               
negativity and unforgiveness —
                               
they were dark and unhappy
                               
inside because
                               
they chose to be that way.
                           
For years they hurt the institution
                               
because they didn't really
                               
want to be under anyone —
                           
If you opened up their mouth and
                               
looked in — you could
                               
always see negativity
                               
ready to come out —
                               
rigidity was the devil's playground
                               
with them —
                           
they really failed to work in
                               
harmony, they were miserable,
                               
they didn't want union and
                               
they wanted to control
                               
their own life the way
                               
they wanted
Proverbs 1: 28-33
Then they will call me, but I shall not answer,
they will look eagerly for me and will not find me.
They have hated knowledge,
they have not chosen the fear of Yahweh,
they have taken no notice of my advice,
they have spurned all my warnings:
so they will have to eat the fruits of their own ways of life,
and choke themselves with their own scheming.
For the errors of the simple lead to their death,
the complacency of fools works their own ruin;
but whoever listens to me may live secure,
will have quiet, fearing no mischance.’
Proverbs 2: 1-13
My child, if you take my words to heart,
if you set store by my commandments,
tuning your ear to wisdom,
tuning your heart to understanding,
yes, if your plea is for clear perception,
if you cry out for understanding,
if you look for it as though for silver,
search for it as though for buried treasure,
then you will understand what the fear of Yahweh is,
and discover the knowledge of God.
For Yahweh himself is giver of wisdom,
from his mouth issue knowledge and understanding.
He reserves his advice for the honest,
a shield to those whose ways are sound;
he stands guard over the paths of equity,
he keeps watch over the way of those faithful to him.
Then you will understand uprightness, equity and fair dealing,
the paths that lead to happiness.
When wisdom comes into your heart
and knowledge fills your soul with delight,
then prudence will be there to watch over you,
and understanding will be your guardian
to keep you from the way that is evil,
from those whose speech is deceitful,
from those who leave the paths of honesty
to walk the roads of darkness:
Proverbs 2: 21-22
For the land will be for the honest to live in,
the innocent will have it for their home;
while the wicked will be cut off from the land,
and the faithless rooted out of it.
Proverbs 3: 1-2
My child, do not forget my teaching,
let your heart keep my principles,
since they will increase your length of days,
your years of life and your well–being.
Proverbs 3: 5-8
Trust wholeheartedly in Yahweh,
put no faith in your own perception;
acknowledge him in every course you take,
and he will see that your paths are smooth.
Do not congratulate yourself on your own wisdom,
fear Yahweh and turn your back on evil:
health–giving, this, to your body,
relief to your bones.
Proverbs 3: 13-14
Blessed are those who have discovered wisdom,
those who have acquired understanding!
Gaining her is more rewarding than silver,
her yield is more valuable than gold.
Proverbs 3: 19
In wisdom, Yahweh laid the earth’s foundations,
in understanding he spread out the heavens.
Proverbs 3: 35
Glory is the portion of the wise,
all that fools inherit is contempt.
Proverbs 4: 4-7
This was what he used to teach me,
‘Let your heart treasure what I have to say,
keep my principles and you will live;
acquire wisdom, acquire understanding,
never forget her, never deviate from my words.
Do not desert her, she will keep you safe;
love her, she will watch over you.
The first principle of wisdom is: acquire wisdom;
at the cost of all you have, acquire understanding!

Jesus speaks:     Some
try to preserve their lives
                               
through food and drink,
                               
and fail to tend to their
                               
heart.
                           
A man who harbors, anger and division
                               
in his heart, chokes the very
                               
life he may seek with
                               
healthy foods —
                           
A heart filled with love sends the
                               
gift of life to the body —
                               
one who sends his heart a
                               
dirty rag, washes his
                               
insides with his dirty,
                               
dark rag —
                               
Who would clean the table
                                   
with the chemical that
                                   
scours it for cleanest
                                   
use and send the dark
                                   
dismal thoughts of division,
                                   
pride and disharmony
                                   
to his soul —
                           
Wash your tables with a clear liquid —
                               
send your heart the thoughts of
                               
love, harmony, obedience —
                           
When a pipe is clogged little water
                               
flows —
                               
When a man squeezes his vessels
                                   
with anger and discontent he
                                   
squeezes the life of the
                                   
soul —
                               
A heart beats in the body — life
                                   
flows in the blood —
                               
My Heart is a Heart of love —
                               
Your heart filled with love will
                                   
feed your body life —
                               
Your heart filled with anxiousness,
                                   
discontent, anger, competition,
                                   
hatred - fills your heart with
                                   
"cruds" and clogs your pipes.
                           
Oh that you would realize that
                               
white washing your tombs and
                               
eating a dirty rag, may look
                               
good outside, but inside where
                               
it counts you wear a dark,
                               
mud caked fluid that settles
                               
in your aching joints.
                           
Oh Jerusalem, you are cleaning your
                               
closets of debris and fail to look
                               
in your hearts — there where lurks
                               
your impurities and your biggest
                               
dirt —
I give you a heart to love —
                           
I show you the symbol of My Heart
                               
filled with a golden glow and
                               
radiating life — but wounded
                               
for your sins.
                           
You fail to see the connection of the
                               
clogged arteries and the
                               
clogged spiritual
                               
life you have.
                           
Oh you the Master of the body —
                               
the all knowing of a human
                               
heart —
                               
you know not of the heart
                               
of love —
                           
You are focused on your mud and
                               
the things at the bottom of
                               
the mountain — you have
                               
become obsessive in your
                               
ways — trying to wash your
                               
socks and scour your
                               
dishes —
                           
When your heart hangs with
                               
misery, unforgiveness, sin
                               
and you lack mercy.
                           
Wash your heart of that ugly
                               
debris —
                           
Wash your hands of the Blood
                               
of the Savior —
                               
put aside your pride and guilt and
                               
act likened to Me —
                               
don't model your actions after he
                                   
who wants to steal your
                                   
soul —
                               
A dark room is just that —
                                   
a dark room —
                               
and a light room is filled with
                                   
marvelous light
Proverbs 4: 22-26
For they are life to those who find them
and health to all humanity.
More than all else, keep watch over your heart,
since here are the wellsprings of life.
Turn your back on the mouth that misleads,
keep your distance from lips that deceive.
Let your eyes be fixed ahead,
your gaze be straight before you.
Let the path you tread be level
and all your ways be firm.

Jesus speaks:     Oh
that you would see with the
                               
eyes of faith —
                           
Oh that you would see with
                               
eyes unveiled —
                           
Focus not on the things of the body
                               
and forget the things of the soul —
                           
Listen to the voice within that
                               
tells you more —
                               
Oh that you studied the Creator
                                   
in His creation —
                               
That you studied the physical
                                   
to know the One Who
                                   
created things.
                               
But you study how it works
                                   
as the end in itself and
                                   
fail to see the author of
                                   
life and know about Him —
                               
Oh men can be blind or filled
                                   
with wisdom —
                                   
look beyond and focus
                                   
on what this teaches
                                   
you about the life
                                   
hereafter.
                           
Oh the lessons of youth can be long
                               
lost to the clogged minds men
                               
have in their old age —
                           
Would that you could build on
                               
what you knew to know
                               
more about the life hereafter —
                               
instead of learning more to
                               
become more rigid and fixed
                               
in ways that may become
                               
immovable and without
                               
change or growth —
                           
One who settles in, in his old age —
                               
has ceased to see that
                               
growth comes when one
                               
continues to grow — not
                               
stay static
