GREGORY: I am having a vision of iridescent white pearls with a light pink tint falling one by one into a small pool of clear blue water. It is beautiful. One by one they fall as if being immersed into a state of cleansing or grace.

I pray that my heart will be like one of these pearls, falling gently in surrender to the will of God who is so good. I also pray to understand, if so, a deeper meaning to this vision for I had been speaking with our Lord about returning to a humbler, simpler way of life filled with the beauty of his mercy to anoint my soul daily with a more profound understanding of his will.

All that I must do is sit still and wait. Wait to fall like the pearls into the water to be bathed by grace. O surrender of love itself, consume me with your divine passion for life to live in a state of grace immersed daily within your merciful and steadfast heart. O my love, take my hand and be with me now.

I desire to go to Italy. I desire that you uplift me and redeem me daily in your love so that I may always rise to touch the joy of your heart.

In this time of Lent, a time of purgation of all sin, entrust my heart to your dear and tender mercy that I may be led freely in love.

Take my hand and lead me as you desire. Bathe my soul upon the rock of redemption, your entire and holy church. Lead me as you so desire into these waters for my greatest desire is to love. And in your eternal love, I am free.

Oh, take me my love and consume me. I want to become the saint of your love as you desire it, as you have willed it. In any way that I resist, lead me more deeply to love you and I will fall into greater depths of surrender. You are my heart. How shall I ever leave you?

Please help me for you are the Creator of my heart guided by your wisdom. Let us flee. Let us take flight in your love at this very moment when my soul is being elevated. Yes, your joy is always mine to receive.

MARY: You are the joy of my soul when you receive Jesus. He loves you so dearly. Take my hand and allow me to prepare you to receive the joy of his heart. Stand firm in all that you do to love him.

Yes, it is all right to envision yourself clothed in integrity, the integrity of being a child of God, who wants to present himself to Jesus in such a way that will be representative to others in your example of love. To love, to be the example of Jesus is love. The way one dresses is love when done so with respect for the temple of one’s soul.

Always clothe yourself with love and everything will be fulfilled from that moment.
