24. The Painful Truth
As I walked into the room today, I heard My mother exclaiming in song, “I love you, O Lord, My strength, My God, My Shield. You have protected us, and kept us safe. Praised be your Name.”
“Good morning, little one,” she said with an inviting smile.
“Momma, why do people say mean words and hurt other people?”
“Many people do not desire to know the Truth as outlined by our forefathers; and through fear, they reject Love. They avoid responding to the Will of God. Perhaps, if they knew the Truth, they would respond.”
“I shall teach them,” I said.
“Jesus, you must learn and grow in Wisdom. Do not be quick to speak.”
“Why, momma?”
“Because, my Son, if you unveil too quickly an area which would expose or challenge a need for change, many times people may not admit or agree that change is needed and will reject you. Often times soldiers will even hurt you, if you offend them and expose their lack of charity. Few people desire true ‘littleness’ because they want to be in the light of fame, power and popularity. Please, be careful, Son. With time, as you continue to grow, you will teach Your Way of Love through action, silence and the proper words.”
“I will show you, momma, that I will be wonderful. Watch Me. Listen to this;” and as if projecting to a forum of people, I said, ”O listen, people of this region. I say to you, it was not Moses who gave the bread from Heaven. My Father gives you the True Bread. This is the True Bread which gives you Life. Hear the Truth, O people. (Clap, momma.)”
“Alright, my little one, now let us work together for Your father is soon to return home for something to eat. My heart is glad, little one.” With a hug from My mother, I joyfully skipped to the door to look for My father.
Let us stop here for today, child. I want to share with you the importance of this lesson. People are all happy and eager to receive praises and to hear good, complimentary virtues about themselves; but the moment they are challenged with the Truth of My words, they become hesitant to receive anymore. Whether My words are spoken through the priest, rabbi, prophet, teacher, parent or any other person, everyone has the free will to decide to accept My Word or reject it. As trials and purgations surface in their lives, many struggle and run by trying to justify their own causes instead of trusting in My words and allowing Me to grace them to meet their challenges in peace.
The closer you get to Me, the more you must be cleansed, purged and tried, so that you can obtain total union with the Trinity and live in eternal peace. Silence, prayer and continuity in works of mercy will speedily gain you victory in My Love.
I give, I take away, I restore so that each soul can have the opportunity to become perfect and be able to share in the Beatific Vision of the Triune God. The Truth will always in the end be made known, even though it may take time to clearly understand. This is because pride, sins of malice, ways of confusion, division and even scandal block My Truth and become obstacles to growth in humility. I desire all to be My friends. I no longer desire servants as slaves, but as friends and companions. I desire all to join in harmony and live in peace. Even if there is not harmony, you can still individually gain My interior Peace.
I bless all people and give all people the opportunity to receive the grace to grow in the holiness of the Saints. The question is, when I give the grace and need arises to purge them of sin, who will remain faithful and hopeful in My Love? Silence, prayer, works of mercy and charity all abound in the fruition of grace and reveal the Truth of My Word. Peace.

23. At School with My Cousins
By the time we returned to Israel, I was nearly five years of age. The next morning I was playing with two sticks, squatting low to the ground as if I was a little drummer boy. As My Mother passed by she proclaimed, “Beautiful music, Jesus,”; to which I responded, “Love it.”
I was having a wonderful time. My two imaginary friends were in a procession with me. Then I began to march and hit My sticks, sounding the ‘rat-tat-tat’ on each other. Then with a sudden stop, I looked to My mother and said, “Momma, the soldiers are all around, and we must hide to protect the treasure.”
My Mother said, “Where are we going to hide, Jesus?’
I said, “Over there so the soldiers won’t find us. We have to keep our treasure safe, and we can’t let them find it.”
“What is the treasure, Jesus?”
“The gold. Can’t you see all this gold, right here?”
“Oh, of course, yes, my Son; we will make sure all is protected.”
At that point my two cousins came over as there was a knock at the door. “Let’s play, Jesus!” screamed Judas and James.
Mary (My aunt) walked in and said to My mother, “Blessed morning to you, Mary.”
“Oh good morning. Please come in and rest a while as the boys get reacquainted and ready for school. I am in the process of making straw baskets today and thought I would show the boys how they are made, and then complete our lesson on Moses”
“Thank you, Mary, but I must return to Alphaeus who asked me to assist in some home affairs.”
“Well Peace be with you, my sister; and God go with you today.”
In the background you could hear the laughter of the three of us boys shouting “rat-tat-tat.”
My mother allowed us to play for a little while, and then she called us to come inside for our lesson on Moses. We responded quickly and gathered around her. It was clear that James needed some tempering as well as focusing skills, but My mother in her way was able to quickly gain his attention and listening heart.
Then mother began, “When Moses finished his song to the assembly of Israel, he told everyone to take to heart the warning which was given to them, and how all the people had the responsibility to pass on and enforce the law of God onto their children because it is a serious matter of life, both Life in God and a long life on the land they were about to gain as they crossed the Jordan.
“Afterwards, Moses went up to Mount Nebo which faced Jericho, as God had instructed him, and viewed the land of Canaan, which was going to be given to the Israelites as their possession; but he was not allowed to cross over and enter the land. He could only view it at a distance, because he had broken his covenant of faith with God at the waters of Meribath in the desert of Zin by not maintaining the sanctity among the Israelites. And there, children, Moses died in the land of Moab. He gave the tribes the blessing which I will teach you about later. Before Moses died he laid his hands on Joshua, who thus gained Wisdom; so that the Israelites would then be obedient to Joshua who would lead them across the Jordan and gain domain over all the land of the Hittites, from Lebanon to the River Euphrates and west to the Great Sea.”
“How old was Moses when he died?” asked James.
“He was 120 years old, son. Now do you want to help me with my baskets? I am weaving baskets, and I need some strong helpers who can help with such an important task. Do you know any boys who would like to assist me?”
And all of us screamed, “I will, I will!”

20. Silence
My little one, the beauty of Life continues in the silence of each day. The body grows and changes without daily notice, but still is growing silently. During their lifetimes my people fail to recognize also their silent visitation from the Holy Trinity. Nothing remains the same. Each moment life changes, but the Holy Trinity remains the same, yesterday, today and tomorrow, offering the fruition of Love of Life eternal. In the silence of My Birth, My Life and My Death, life continues on for My people as a gift from the Holy Trinity and the invitation for them to know who they are as they were created to be. The year rolls over into a new millenium in silence, but the Love of the Holy Trinity continues to give Life. Every soul is created to give God glory, but every soul must find out the meaning of this gift and its mission to Love.
Now let us continue on from where I last ended:
21. My Mother, the Teacher
This is a new day. We, the Holy Family, still live in Egypt. I am sitting on My father’s lap facing him. My forehead is pressing into My father’s forehead, and I’m staring right into his eyes. Our noses are touching and My hands are cupped around each side of his face. He looks into My eyes, too.
I say, “Boo!” He smiles, and My mother walks in.
“It is time for your lesson, Jesus,” she says.
I descend from My father’s lap feeling grownup and proud of My independence. Respectfully and obediently I approach My mother. “But, Mom, first dad has something for you. I have something for you, too. It is your birthday today. Daddy told me he made you a rocking chair but to keep it a secret.”
Joseph walks into the room and smiles most reverently and humbly, as he has heard what I just told Mother. “Happy birthday, Mary!”, he said.
“Yeh”, clapping my hands I say, “happy birthday!”; and then I reach with open arms and hug My mother’s legs. She picks me up and smiles. I give her three big kisses on her left cheek and I make the Cross on her cheek.
“Thank you, my loved ones. I love you,” she said. After it was over, we (My mother and I) sat on the new rocking chair. “Let us begin soon with your lesson. Today we will continue on with the recitation of the Canticle of Moses, the song of Moses before he died.”
Mother says it, and I repeat after her. “Give ear, O heavens, while I speak.” We spend ten minutes learning and reading the words. I do not know how to read just yet, but I pretend to know.
Then we say our prayers; and mother tells me a story about Moses and the land sworn to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob; about how Moses died in the land of Moab; and about how Joshua was filled with the Spirit of Wisdom.
“No prophet arose in Israel like Moses whom the Lord knew face to face,” said My mother.
With those words I smiled and clapped. I hugged her neck and jumped off her lap, marching out of the room proclaiming in an authoritative voice, “Give ear, O heavens, while I speak.”

22. Our Life in Nazareth
Well, little one, it came time for us to leave Egypt. My father waited until the climate was conducive for travel back to Nazareth. We carefully planned our travel and packed our belongings with precision and care. I personally gathered My precious wood carvings, wagon, and “little” lamb. We said good-bye to our friends, especially Elam, who had helped us find lodging when we arrived.
Summer was ending and autumn was nearing by the time we made our return to Nazareth. You could see the anticipation and wonderment in the eyes of My father as we were nearing Nazareth. My mother, in her wisdom and beauty, safeguarded the interior attacks on My father by saying, “Joseph, God is good to have protected us and provided us with the necessities of life. He surrounded us with His angels who protected our dignity, and He spared us from the sword of evil. It is good to return and give Him glory and praise through our courage and peaceful, resigned manner. All will be well, for God is with us.”
“Yes, my beloved,” Joseph responded, filled with many emotions. “I am certain Alphaeus has taken good care of our home. It is good to return. Let us sing a song of psalms to our Father for our safe arrival.” We then sang our way into Nazareth. As we entered our home, all of us were silent. Father broke the silence by saying, “Well, let me unload our belongings and make us a little more comfortable.”
“Yes, Joseph, and I will prepare something for you and Jesus with the leftover food with which we traveled. I am sure you both are hungry, and you need nourishment.”
It didn’t take me long to begin jumping and helping My Father. Not long after we settled in, My father’s brother Alphaeus and his wife came over with My two cousins Judas and James. They visited for awhile as we “three” played with stones and some of My wood shavings.
Alphaeus said, “Well, it will soon be time for school to begin for the boys. I expect Jesus will be joining them?”
My Mother said, “No, I will be teaching Jesus,” which met with startled looks from My dad’s brother and his wife (Mary).
But My dad said, “No, Mary will teach Jesus. She grew up in the Temple and knows the law just as well as any scholar. She shall teach Jesus, and I will teach him my trade. He will grow in dignity and learn the ways of manhood.”
With those words, Mary (Alphaeus’ wife) said, “Oh, perhaps since you will be home teaching and the boys love Jesus so well, and because the family has been apart awhile since you have been gone, perhaps they could join Jesus in His studies?”
My mother smiled; and as she said, “Of course,” Judas, James and I ran into the kitchen area screaming “hurray” and hugging My Mother. The three of us boys then walked outside arm in arm. This is where I shall end this part of our entrance back into Israel.
Peace, little one. The role of the family is quite important, and I would like all the world to know the implications if the family unit did not exist. There would be a broken society, filled with heartbreaking consequences and great suffering. A father and mother are needed to bring up each child with a healthy mind, heart and soul. Without families there would be tremendous perversions of many kinds. Ponder how the Truth becomes obscured and how the lives of humans harmed through deception and falsities of life when love and schooling in the areas of the true law are not brought to maturation through the family unit consisting of mother and father. Peace.

19. My Poverty of Spirit
My little one, why do you think I came into the world poor and humble instead of as the glorious, righteous King to be attended by myriads of angels? I was more than poor. I also exemplified the purest spiritual poverty. It was so I could be the Guardian of your humanity. You live in a world today where people think that they should live it up and possess as much as the world can offer; but in the process, they are failing to see that the necessary ingredient needed to be an authentic human being was outlined and lived most perfectly through My poverty of spirit. I lived the misery of the world, even unto the torment of death, without the consolations of heavenly assistance and with total helplessness, so that I could live every aspect of your own humanity and give you hope and courage to be who you are in your own spiritual poverty on your own cross.
If you want to receive the joy of Divine things and submerge yourself into its glorious significance, then you must walk as I did, embrace who you are in your misery and weakness, and welcome the true essence of your humanity with poverty of spirit. How do you practice this poverty of spirit? You must learn to accept yourself, even if you may go unnoticed in your daily life, and even if your talents may be simple, not extravagant, without recognition, and common in the eyes of the world.
I lived this way. I did not exemplify any superiority or wealth which leads to self-centering honors. I stood alone as you all stand alone. No matter what you have exteriorly with all its pleasures and honors, you walk your walk alone. Satan would like you to be preoccupied with the glamours of life and submerge you into their temporary pleasures, masking the genuineness of being who you are in the pain of loneliness. He would like you to compromise the mission of your life, to live in total spiritual poverty, by feeding on the prestige of the world. If I walked the way as a common man, did I not set the true example of how to imitate God?
If you do not know who you are now in life, who you really are as a human being, then how do you expect to know the true Divinity? Your existence is only a glimpse of what is to come. I would like all my people to really ponder, reflect and contemplate what it has meant for them that I came as their Emmanuel (God is with us); and why I have lived the way I have lived and have embraced all the misery, pain, loneliness and helplessness of this impoverished humanity without accepting Divine assistance. This mystery is the key to how Divinity came into humanity and how Divinity is within the reach of every human being. Remember, “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.”
Peace, little one.
