Chapter 8

ANNOUNCE MY COMING

When they had gathered together, they asked him, "Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?" He answered them, "it is not for you to know the times or seasons that the Father has established by his own authority." (Acts 1: 6-7)

March 3, 1997:

Dearest Papa:
Now my Dearest Father, what would you have me do?,

A man will review the book, little one. It is My wish that he help you in this effort. THE OCTAVE FEAST IS MY HEART'S DESIRE. Speak these words to him:

On the evening seven days before My desired Feast Day of last year, 1996, I infused in this little one through My Voice and her thoughts the idea of My Octave. I showed her through the eight lights. She had no knowledge of this on her own.

March 3, 1997:

Dearest Father:
What should I do for You, my Dearest Father?

Be My Warrior, little one. Stand tall and fight. I am with you. You are guarded day and night. Present My Work ...This is My Will. May peace be upon my little Apostolate. This is the battle, Barbara. The fight has begun. Stand tall and raise My Standard high so all can see. I am with you, among you, and in you. My Voice cries out to you--listen...

USE WHATEVER MEANS ...AVAILABLE TO SPREAD THE TRUTH OF MY CONSECRATION FEAST DAY. IN THIS WAY, MANY OF MY CHILDREN WILL BE BROUGHT HOME TO ME, THEIR FATHER. This is much greater than you could imagine. This weds Heaven to Earth through My children who serve as living temples of the Holy Trinity. Work quickly and I repeat, "See Clearly!' See beyond illusion. ...I have bypassed the stumbling block Satan has created. My desire is contained in this Book. The Book is My Truth.

March 3, 1997:

I open Your Holy Word:

(Psalm l5:11—"Thou has made known to me the ways of life, thou shalt fill me with joy with thy countenance: at thy right hand are delights even to the end.”.)

[Psalm 33;15—"Turn away from evil and do good: seek after peace and pursue it."]

These are the ways to Me, little one. You cry out as one in the desert, but you have been with Me in My Paradise. You cannot see. You strain to make out what lies around you in worldly ways, but you must see beyond—to Me!

Listen even now...The tapping, the rhythm of My Dance goes on around you, drowning out the chaos of that one who desires to keep My children from returning home to Me. Oh, how this angers him. But you, My little and fragrant rose—you send the scent that will help lead My children home. Trust in My Words to you. This work which I have put into your hands is for My Glory and Praise. THIS WORK IS ESSENTIAL TO THE RETURN OF MANKIND TO ITS FATHER.. WHY? BECAUSE IT IS BY THIS PATH THAT ALL SHALL SEE THEIR WAY CLEAR TO RETURNING—IT IS A ROAD MAP. YES, A BLUEPRINT OF MY ORDAINED PROCESS. A process, daughter. All life and movement and activity--towards one end—Me!

Your footprints lie in the garden, leading up to your Father. You found the way. How? Little one, you were brought by your Mother, Mary, who has shed many tears for you and by your Brother and Lord, Jesus—My Son. They love you very much. Again, take My hands in yours. ...Pass on to Me all your trials, sufferings to be transformed. Be My link, my. connection to My sons and daughters on earth.

You must be one with Your Father. Separate, but one. Teach My little ones. Show them My Words. Bring them to Me. Usher in a new era of "oneness with the Father"—the RETURN. Finally, and irrevocably. My children will be ransomed and delivered by My Son Jesus--and you, little one, will uncover the lights that brighten the way, the footpath home to the Father, so long buried in the debris of so many lost generations. I blow My Breath, My Spirit upon this path. Point with your fingers. Show them. I AM UNCOVERING WHAT HAS BEEN COVERED FOR CENTURIES OF MAN'S TIME. It is time to come home.

Desperation looms on the horizon for My lost, Prodigal Children. It is closer than you think. Man usurps the Power of God. No man shall be allowed to wield this Power—without severe consequences. The Fruits of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil are being thrust upon you--and My children rally round in excitement... only to see with horror what they have done. You were right in your instincts, Barbara Rose. The knowledge of Man without God will destroy My children. Be at peace. All is well. Sleep in My Love, Mercy, and Hope.

My medal—My medal must show the process. You have done this. Be at peace. You have done well.

Dream of Me, little one. Comfort your Father Who longs for all His children. Show them the lights.

This dilates the heart so I may enter. EIGHT is the balance—the rhythm and Harmony of My Will. This will be explained to you soon. EIGHT is the Rhythm and Harmony of My Will. The ordained movement, motion, of God's Universe--in unison, in rhythm-in harmony—with Me—it's Creator—Your Father. I AM LIFE! I am in all creation!

[I am lead to read Psalm 73: " Asaph"—(See previous reference to " Asapha" in my dialogue with our Father on September 11 th, 1996. At that time, I had no knowledge of what this "foreign" word might mean.) Through this Psalm, and further reading, I discovered that David established three guilds of singers under Herman, Asaph, and Jeduhem. Asaph was related to his "brother" Heman through common descent from Levi. The position of Asaph's choir was at "the right hand" of Heman's in Temple services. THEIR FUNCTION WAS TO "PROPHESY TO THE SOUND OF MUSIC." This makes me think of the emphasis on rhythm, harmony, the harp, and the octave related to this consecration. They also ministered in the presence of the ark continually, day by day, in their courses.]

March 6, 1997:

Dearest Father:
Help me, please, God. ...

THERE IS MORE STRENGTH IN ONE TEAR THAN IN ALL THE ARMIES OF THE WORLD. A tear shows Me the warmth within the human heart. Please, listen, daughter. In all the world, there is only one thing I want—that is you. And with you, all your brothers and sisters. As I cry out for My children, so do you. Do you not believe I have the Will to make all things new and good?

OUT OF THE DREGS I WILL BRING SUCH BRILLIANCE AND TREASURE AS THE HUMAN EYE HAS NEVER SEEN. The disrepair of your life (and the lives of your loved ones) is not over. But in each of you is the glimmer of great glory. You are the spark. My Divine Spark. Touch them off with your Faith, little one. Believe in them; believe in Me. They need to come back to Me for all things good. Lookup—

[I see a great warrior angel and I note that this cannot be Raphael, the healer, and My Father tells me that I do not call on Raphael enough. I do not use him enough.] The angel tells me he is here to fight my battles. ...

Reach into your heart and find the Truth-a treasure to behold. All that I have given you is Mine. You are tending My sheep, but they are Mine. Do your best. That is all I expect. Let Me do the rest. Let Me come in and guide you in your ways. ...What profits the person who does not trust the Lord? Nothing but false promises and illusions. Hopelessness belongs to him who hesitates in his trust of his Lord. Trust Me and keep Me warm and welcome inside your heart. Watch and see. Miracles will happen. Your life will be transformed. New eyes and ears have I given you. You will begin to see with My eyes and hear with My ears. You are Mine. NEVER LINGER LONG IN YOUR SORROW—ONLY YOUR TRUST AND LOVE OF ME.

March 8, 1997:

Dearest Father:
...Speak to me, I will follow.

What you are to do is not to be diminished by the circumstances.

[I am lead 10 read Nahim-regarding the destruction of Nineve; Ezech.—use of "8" in the Temple; 1 Par 26: l2-ministering in the House of the Lord]

March 9, 1997:

Dearest Sweetest Father, My Own:

Please write:

I weary from the actions of My children, Oh, how they tight among themselves, They destroy the imprint that I have placed within their souls. How? By taking such freedom with My good Graces. The great apple, the p1um ready to be picked, so seductive—a poison that they have no comprehension of—Take up the gauntlet, little one. My connection to My sheep weakens. They separate themselves so they cannot hear My Voice, yet I call and call. Listen, hear Me—your Father! Scoop them up in the mystical apron I have given you. Gather them up. Let them know how much I love them. Inflame their hearts with Love for their Father.

Wait. Wait patiently. Let Me know what you do each day. This way you ACKNOWLEDGE MY PRESENCE in you. Do you doubt the dreams? Where do you think they originate? A rebirth, child. There is a rebirth, a renewal. You must explain this transformation.

And now I want you to rest. Rest in My Heart, and I in yours. But know this. The winter is almost over—and My Life force cries out for acknowledgment—MY Life force. I am your Lord and your God. Listen to My voice. Leave everything to Me. Offer the adjustment to Me—it is uncomfortable.

Lord, please direct my path. ...

Barbara:
In My valley there are green pastures, awaiting My lambs. I will shear them for the wool they grow, but they will not be destroyed. From the wool comes the fabric of your culture. So long lost. Follow Me, Barbara. Go where I go.

[I am lead to read Ezech. 5:7—not keeping the commandments of God; Gen. 8:8— He sent forth also a dove after him, to see if the waters had now ceased upon the face of the earth;" Apoc. 8:8—And the second angel sounded the trumpet: as it were a great mountain, burning with fire, was cast into the sea, and the third part of the sea became blood."]

March 11, 1997:

Dearest Father:
[I am lead to read: Habacuc 2:20- "But the Lord is in his temple; let all the earth keep silence before him";
Psalm 87—a prayer of one under grievous affliction.]

March 12, 1997:

Dearest Father:
...I keep asking Raphael to please help me from getting really sick right now because I don't have the resources. I've also asked him to look after the Consecration Book.

...I want you to approach Me in this posture of giving, offering, and unity. Of your own free will you said, "Father, I love You, and I give myself to You." That made ALL the difference.

I want you to embrace My Will—now and forever. Find the passage that speaks to you tonight. Hold it tightly in your heart. Say it often along with the Consecration ejaculation. There is one line that truly speaks My Word to you, little one. It is My gift to you—especially in these times. Seek and you shall find.

[I was lead to read Psalm 39:4-" And he put a new canticle into my mouth, a song to our God. Many shall see, and shall fear: And they shall hope in the Lord."]

Go to bed. Tomorrow will be a better day. You have made Me very happy. You have done well, little one. Do not give up—ever. The time is nigh. Look beyond the misery to what is really happening. Illusion, Barbara, illusion masks My Coming to My children—those who invite Me. Diversion. So much diversion. My children do not even notice Me. They bewail the evils and what they perceive as the lack of My Presence. But I was always with you.

The evil one parades the unfolding and realization of "his kingdom outside My Will." But My Kingdom was always here. And is here. THROUGH THIS CONSECRATION, MY CHILDREN MAY AGAIN FIND ME. They need to stop and listen. Spend time with Me. Sometimes it takes great effort on My part to make sure they have that. It is the only way. They must stop, be silent, and hear My triumphant Cry to their heart. For once they hear it and acknowledge it with "Yes, Father!" they are Mine! Now and forever. But they have been so mislead and distracted—all illusion and seduction away from what is "real" and "true"—ME—God their Father.

Now stop worrying, all is well. Sleep in My protection and know I love you. Continue to pray to St. Raphael. Much healing is needed for you, your family—and the whole world. Now go in Peace, little one, My own. ...

March 13, 1997:

Dearest Father:
I think a lot of people call You Father without being overly concerned about their growth in grace. What if someone's consecrated and then after retracts their "Yes." Father, I'm confused. Sometimes I think I've got it down and then You add a new piece of the puzzle. ...Please, Lord, if it's Your Will, enlighten me.

The Book is My Treasure, yet to be unearthed. You are right in feeling that you do not yet have the full picture. For now, this must be. Why? Because My children are not yet prepared to embrace the full Truth of their Salvation History. They will be brought to it slowly as you have been.

For instance, My children are drowning in a sea of chaos. They would not be open to quieting their lives to nurture their relationship with their Creator who dwells in them. I DWELL IN THOSE SOULS WHO ARE CONSECRATED TO ME. That is, they have given themselves to Me. They are united with Me. First, we must start with the Consecration. The rest will follow. ...On the EIGHTH day, I will come. This is MY promise.

I want My children to come to Me in whatever manner they must. This is imperative in these times. There is no other way. My Honor is just. It is right. Honoring Me strengthens My children. It builds their moral and spiritual character which is so greatly lacking. Close your eyes tonight and I will be with you. You are Mine. And I will never let you go. Your work has pleased Me very much. ...I ask very little of My children in these times. I ask them to acknowledge Me and love Me. Tell them, Barbara. THE END DRAWS NEAR. THESE TIME ARE CLOSING AND A NEW ERA BEGINS. Teach them, Barbara. Show them who I am and how to love Me. Most of all show them how I love them. Bring Me souls. Go in Peace, child, and sleep. ...

March 16, 1997:

SEE THE "8"—TWO CIRCLES: They are continuous, Barbara. Two perfect circles joined—the beginning and the end, the Alpha and the Omega joined with My children. It is through this Octave that My children are joined with Me. Speak this, Barbara. Show them how this is so. The 8—it is more than a concept, but a visual aid! You are Mine, little one. Be one with Me. I love you as you do Me. Bring souls, My dearest daughter. This is no light matter. WAKE UP! See Me! I am with you, little one. The "EIGHT"—a perfect harmony of the influx of the Holy Spirit. So be it!!!

March 18, 1997:

Father! I know You are still with me. I keep saying, "Your Will Be Done."

Come to Me, little one in this time and place. There is an army of angels around you. Request their help through Me. They will buoy you up in this time. Though all seems dark, there is a brightness of My Light here in your presence. Give all to Me so that it may be transformed. ...Make the Consecration—Yes, over Passion Week would be fine. Soon all My children will have access to this Consecration. ...Look past the pain. It is a fog, an illusion, which blinds you to My Presence. It does not mean I'm not here. But it halts you, paralyzes you, in your tracks. Keep offering all this to Me to be transformed.

The suffering is a link, a bridge, a means only as long as it is offered up to Me to be transformed. Only I can transform it. ...Remember, the time that is upon you is relevant and short. Come to Me, all My Little ones. I'm your Father. COME HOME BEFORE THE STORM. And I will shelter you tenderly. You must be brave, My daughter. And lift My Banner high so all can see. It is the Banner of God their Father and Creator. Let My Son Jesus help you; be strengthened by My Spirit. And let your Mother comfort you.

David (King David) is your mentor. He, too, cried out to Me. He did much with so little because he abandoned himself to Me and I showered him with graces. He was brave and strong against countless enemies. You, too, must be strong. Remember what I've taught you about transforming. This is important. Every day in every trying instance. Join with Me, connect with Me ...

March 23, 1997:

Dearest Mother and Father:
Please save my family. ...Rescue us. Protect us. Please.

Barbara:
See the Ark. What do you see? A family BUILDING and ENTERING and being CONTAINED in a vessel that protects them from My purifying Wrath. It is a wrath of Justice. And in doing this they separated themselves from their unholy brothers, but took nature with them. They were sealed up and carried in the purifying waters, but not drowned in them. I did not remove them from the earth or the terror or isolation of the experience. But I gave them each other—the family. They were also protector of My animals. This was their job and responsibility. They and the animals were left in the world, but contained in My protective Ark.

What does this teach you? THIS TEACHES YOU THAT IN THESE TIMES A GREAT PURIFYING FIRE WILL SWEEP ACROSS THIS PLANET, REFINING AND CLEANSING, AND PURIFYING SO THAT ALL THAT IS LEFT IS GOOD AND PURE, TRANSFORMED TO BEGIN ANEW—TO BEGIN AGAIN FOR THE LAST TIME. Bring your family to Me for shelter. Bring them to their Mother. We await them. THE CONSECRATION MUST GO ON THE ARK FOR THE FOR THE NEW TIME THAT FAST APPROACHES. Take your family into the Ark of My Love.

Mary, my Mother, says to me:

You are strong, My daughter. Our Father is pleased. You have done well. You have a great mission. You have been chosen for the work of ushering in the Consecration to Our Father.

Vision:
—Observing out the window framed in roses with thorns.
—a picnic table next to a clothes line [Cleansing and Eucharistic Meal]
—Fields of wheat
—God's house, my house
—Inside: throne, stone table/altar, doorway but I never leave and go into other rooms
—Throne room with window above and behind with Eucharist in it and
something illuminated and beautiful lies behind it; a soldier (Roman), blonde,
curly short hair kneeling in front of the throne ( empty—but with the Blessed Sacrament above it).
—And the green, verdant valley with sheep moving toward a pass with boulders; on the other side is desolation and desert; beyond that expanse is
green lushness toward big body of water, and a boat comes. Jesus,
Mary, and the Apostles helping a handful of people start over again.
—And David running through the rushes towards a Temple, eager and excited, running, turning around and smiling, beckoning me. And I was told
not to go in yet because it was too beautiful and wonderful. He wants
me to move towards it and know that it's there, but not time to go in yet. —Knowledge that the Sacraments are real and true.

Our Father says:

A time will come when My Sacraments will be administered by a scant few. The Church will not die. You will be one of them by obedience to the Church. This position will change in times that come. A NEW TIME AND NEW TRADITIONS ARE COMING.

Listen to your heart as you have done. There is a road you've missed, that you haven't found yet, that will bring you to Me ...Here you will be safe. Say the Chaplet. Begin the Consecration today. Prepare yourself. I will show you the road. ON THE EIGHTH DAY, I WILL SHOW YOU THE ROAD. Begin your spiritual journey. The children must find Me. They must call Me down to earth. They must ask. And I will come. "Rapture" is when My little ones are contained and consumed in My Love so nothing can harm them. In this way, they will be saved. THIS IS THE ARK OF THESE NEW TIMES.

Say the Chaplet and complete your formal Consecration. It is done with the new additions. No more, no less. Meditate and find what I have told My children about their purpose and My Glory.

... I will send Raphael! Why? He is My angel of administration. He is My healer, an "instrument" of transformation. I am the transformer. Begin. Remember the Chaplet and Consecration. On Easter Sunday at Mass you will perceive My Plan more clearly. Your path will be presented and clear. Now go with My Peace and Love.

The things I remember about that Mass are the homily theme of "Being like Christ, love, and forgiveness," he Host was very "palpable," we sat in the back of Church, the parish church banner had a shell with water coming out of it.]

March 25, 1997:

Papa:
The book (the Holy Octave of Consecration to God Our Father) is ...Your gift to us, Your children. I love You!

...Come to Me, My little one. Rest on My shoulder. Look deep into the Eyes of Your Creator. I am always with you. Never doubt that. All is in My Plan. Now rest. Sleep in My Peace. Thank you for giving birth to My Book.

March 26, 1997:

Dearest Papa:
What a Passion Week. Father, I love You. That's the only thing I know. I love You.

Barbara:
You are tired. So tired. I weary too from waiting for My children to return to Me so I can hold them in My "protective" Arms. I, too, see them suffer and it pains Me greatly. Think for a minute: what is it children love the most? They love their parents. Why? Because their parents are everything to them—their sustenance, their protection, their joy, their well-being. What happens when children are separated from their parents? They feel loneliness, homesickness, grief. My children suffer from this, too, but they do not know why they suffer—it is from lack of Me. I want you to embrace this gift I give you. This gift of love: reconciliation. I am holding your heart in My Hand. Peace, little one. Peace.

March 27, 1997:

Dearest Papa:
I just finished my Consecration prayers for the day. I love You so very much. Today I meditated on my "inheritance." Yes, I am Your child, ...How You must tire of me. All know is that I love You passionately, my dearest Father.

The TIME has come for ALL to listen!!!

[Raphael and Our Lady come. ...Our Father seems really powerful and urgent. Our Lady says He is calling His children. ...Like when our children are lost and we are terrified and search for them. I ask what I can do, or if I'm all done.]

Our Lady says: "Go back and enjoy this time. Let go, the Book is in the right hands. Soon this Book will find it's way to the Holy Father—WHO WILL EMBRACE IT. ...For it is right and true and time is short. ...We can no longer dally. You have given much for this Book and your Father is pleased. Now pray, Barbara. Every day! Pray the Chaplet so that your Father may be known, loved, served, and honored as He deserves. Be not afraid. Your Father will be with you as will Jesus, the Holy Spirit, myself and Raphael. All will be well, little one. You will see. You are ''as'' the Rose of Sharon. The Lord protects you as you bloom—for His Glory.

I embrace Jesus and thank Him for dying for me. I feel calmer. ...)

Raphael says to me:

Your Father cannot go out and get you. You must find your way home by your own free will, but He waits and worries—and HE BEGINS TO AFFECT THE ENVIRONMENT AROUND HIS CHILDREN TO HASTEN THEIR RETURN. THAT IS BEING DONE NOW. Can you feel the Father's Power all around you? The intensity? If your children were lost in the dark, you would turn on the lights. When you turn on the lights, you see them and they see you. But you also see everything else. Now all the filth is exposed. It will shock many. Some never noticed it was dark and therefore they don't notice the light. Soon those children that can see the Father through the light will cluster around Him. The light will be retracted because leaving it longer will do no good. Then those left in the dark will have a very difficult time finding their way home. It will be almost impossible. We must bring all those we can with us. Touch their hearts. Be the connection between them and the Father and He will transform them. You are the hands and feet of God on earth. The Father only tells us it is soon, very soon.

The Father will accept all those that approach Him with love and repentance. BUT THIS OCTAVE OF CONSECRATION IS A SPECIAL WAY. A LADDER TO THE FATHER'S HEART. These little ones are special. SPREAD THIS MESSAGE OF DEVOTION TO THE FATHER. SPREAD IT FAR AND WIDE. MANY SOULS WILL BE SAVED THROUGH THE CONSECRATION—They will have found their way back home.

There are so many others that are not "sensitive," who have not quieted themselves to hear His Voice and know that He exists and that He is truly their Father. For them, He must ROAR over the din and chaos. To get their attention, He must YELL. Why now? Why is this time different? Because now, like never before, so many souls are being lost. God has been displaced. The Father can no longer bear the loss of so many children. This is the Father you saw today—grieving but fighting ferociously for His children. This is the battle, the likes of which the world has never seen. Upheaval! A wake-up call! Not because the Father is angry with His children; He is frantic and determined that they return home to Him.

The pain is overwhelming. Those that love Him can feel it. Those that don't will feel the effects until this is resolved, as it must be. Darkness descends. A darkness deeper than the night and soon His children will no longer be able to find their way home without extreme means and intervention. For now, as a family, we must all suffer together until the danger is passed and we have saved all those that will allow themselves to come home and be saved.

Your role is to spread the Father's Name and love far and wide. MIRACLES will follow the Consecration to demonstrate the Father's Presence. This is your job! All Consecrated must become rescue workers in these times. Through word, deed, and example. THE CONSECRATED ARE THE FATHER'S RESCUE WORKERS. Lights in the darkness soon to come. Lights to lead the stragglers home.

Mary, my Mother says to me: This is your Father's Desire. So be it in His Name!

March 29, 1997:

Dearest Father:
I have one more day until I formally consecrate myself to You. ...Not that I am worthy, Father. Because I am certainly not, but because I love You so, so much. Today when I was saying the Chaplet, I could see images for each minor octave:

First Minor Octave: I see myself outside at night throwing my arms up towards the heavens, in awe of Your Stars, and the vastness of Your Universe and I am praising You.
Second Minor Octave: I am kneeling before Your Throne, my hands folded in prayer, thanking You for everything You've given me.
Third Minor Octave: I am at the Altar with my arms up toward You, offering everything You've given me.
Fourth Minor Octave: I am at Your Feet (You are seated on Your Throne) and I am clinging to Your Robe and crying in sorrow for my sins and asking for Your Mercy and Help.
Fifth Minor Octave: I am in the robes given the Prodigal Son. I am standing up straight with the dignity and appreciation as Your child (before Your Throne).
Sixth Minor Octave: I am again in my robes bowing my head before Your Throne, saying "Yes" enthusiastically!
Seventh Minor Octave: I am standing before my Father on His Throne with a sword (of My Father's Love and Mercy), determined and loyal to fight the good fight for Him on earth.
Eighth Minor Octave: I am kneeling before Him on His Throne and I'm in white with roses on my head, and the Father is tying a red ribbon to join our wrists. I am consecrating myself and we are joined.

The red ribbon is passion and love (blood). The blood of Jesus
The Roses of My Mother Mary
The Holy Spirit resides in me like a golden glow—a repository for God. A Light, an energy. The Father is well pleased.
The Holy Spirit marks us. That is God in us. That is His Kingdom.

The Father:

You are Mine, now and forever. Say the words of the Consecration from your heart and join yourself to Me. Yes, I want you to bring your family to Me. The trumpets shall sound to announce My coming. I manifest Myself in the world through My children. Yes, I am other. But you are joined, united with Me. Be joyful today, little one. Enjoy your children and the quiet I have given you.

I love you, daughter. Be strong in these times. Keep your eyes ever on Me. My Presence with you is more real than everything you see around you. Open yourself to My Goodness and Mercy. Wrap yourself in the mantle of My Goodness. Take delight in Your Father's Love and Mercy. Be not afraid. I am always with you. Be brave. Be strong. My Love will triumph over the darkness of this world. It has already begun.

MY LOVE IS LIKE A FEVER THAT RACES OVER THE EARTH, CLEANING, PURIFYING, AND TRANSFORMING. During this time, man will suffer as from an illness. And at one point, it will be critical. But then it will pass and all will be HEALED. The earth and all that's on it must be transformed—healed.

I repeat: THIS PROCESS HAS BEGUN. The fever grows. The discomfort grows. But your Mother here to minister to you, bringing you water, sustenance (Eucharist), and comfort. Like cells in the body, only healthy cells will remain. Only those cells that have been cured, healed will remain. All others will be burned away and destroyed for the well-being of the entire organism. Pray for all your brothers and sisters, Barbara. Pray that they may be transformed. Offer your sufferings for them. Don't give up! No, never. Never give up. All will be well. You will see. Trust and have hope. Love will conquer all. For love is the transforming fire, the Fever of My Love. The disease is so bad, Barbara, it trips the fever to save the whole body. This is My Will and My Plan. Yes, daughter, we are nearing the crisis point. Aid others. Pray for others. Love, Barbara, love! Feel it inside; send it out to the world. All around you.

The pine tree [in the back yard]—tall and ever green. Life. Rooted in the earth and reaching to the heavens. Sheltering the small animals and birds. It is as the Tree of Life upon which My Son was hung from the tree drops pine cones and seeds. This Tree is special because it symbolizes everlasting life. Remember your Christmas tree? Pine and apples. Your tree had eatable fruit, as does Mine. With Me all things are possible. The healing will come. Embrace your Father. Make your choice and come home.

I love You, Father. [Tomorrow I must allow myself to love the Father completely.]

March 31, 1997:

Dearest Father:
I have now finished the 8-day consecration. I am Yours, Papa. ...Father, I am entirely Yours now. Do with me what You will. I consecrate my entire family to You—especially my children, my husband, and grandchildren. I trust that You will take good care of them, Lord. And now what do I do for You, my sweet Papa? What do I do for You?

(I am lead to read Ezech. 33-Watchman and trumpet.)

Child:

Love and forgiveness. Love and forgiveness. Fill yourself with My Love and Forgiveness. When this fills you up it replaces the anxiety and confusion. It heals. It is My Spirit residing in you.

I ache to really hold My Father... How my soul would be comforted and I'm thinking perhaps someday in heaven. And then the Father says ...to hold His Banner up high so others can see it above the chaos.]

Hold My Banner High! The sea shell [I saw a sea shell on a banner in Church during Mass] is closed tight and holds a pearl of priceless value. From out of this vessel of the ocean flows the beauty and sanctity of My Living Water. You are the shell and inside you is a treasure—a pearl, white and clean and purified by the irritation that produced it. But the shell is a thing of the sea; it belongs there. When opened, the treasure is exposed and from it flows the very ocean it came from. These are My waters, Barbara. This is My Pearl, My gift to you—My Treasure. Protect it and cherish it, for it is Me residing within you and you in Me. It is born from suffering and challenge and trial.

Be My trumpet. Announce My coming. Be My watchguard. One of many. Tell My people I come to them in a new way. I come to transform. ALL WILL BE TRANSFORMED IN THE FIRE OF MY LOVE. PREPARE THEMSELVES. READY THEMSELVES. THOSE WHO HEED MY WORDS WILL FIND A TREASURE WITHIN THEM. TELL THEM I COME...SOON. THEY MUST BE READY. I COME AS THEIR FATHER AND SAVIOR. MY SON AND I ARE ONE.

[See the] Three strips on the vertical blinds: they move in unison and when closed they look as one—yet separate. God the Creator, Savior, and Sanctifier come. Tell your brothers. Be ready. The time of homecoming is at hand. Rejoice. Blow the trumpets.

Caution My little ones. There will be much deceit and trickery and despair prior to My Coming. Satan snatches as many souls as he can. But I come! Tell My children not to despair and to recognize the SIGNS, not in despair, but as SIGNS OF THE TIMES. The time of your liberation is at hand. Rejoice. Don't look sad, My daughter. Be strong. We are triumphant. I come to dwell with My children. All will be fresh and new: all will be in Me and with Me. There will be dancing and celebration. The children will be in the House of their Father, unified in the rhythm and harmony of His Will. Rejoice!

Visit Me again during the day. Meditate on what I have said, and be not afraid! Now go in My Love and Peace! ...
