-Jesus: "Scott, connect your heart to my Heart and see that we are brothers.  There is nothing you lack.  Everything is yours, as it is mine.  Everything is a gift from our Father.  The only choice you have to make is which gift you want to pick up and unwrap."
-me: "I want you to select a gift for me."
-Jesus: "Here is the gift I choose for you.  A green hill of soft grass where you can lie in the sunshine.  The world is moving very fast.  There are few people who rest deeply and become still enough to hear my voice.  More education is not what you need.  No education compares with my voice speaking to you--my voice speaking in you and through you.  The world needs to hear my gentle, gracious voice.  And what is needed in order to hear is a stillness born of trust and hope.  You are understanding more what Fr. Michael said to you concerning sloth.  He said that constant work and activity can be a manifestation of sloth.  Sloth is despair; it is a sin against hope and trust.  Constant activity that is devoid of spirit is sloth.  From the standpoint of spirit, it is a denial of the one activity that is most needful: to sit and listen to my voice.  To sit and listen with a wide-open heart is challenging work.  Hope is one of the most unused muscles.  The most strenuous use of this muscle is to be still and listen.  Are you willing to let your heart be cracked open?  In this cracking, my Heart will emerge in you.  I invite you to lie down in the grass."

-Jesus: "My Heart encompasses All.  My Heart engulfs All.  There is no being that is not in my Heart.  Feel the love that I have for you and for all.  Feel my love for those who are not yet able to feel it.  Feel in your heart the love I have for those who despair of love; and as your heart is connected with theirs they will awaken to love."
-Me: "Jesus, as I sit here in stillness I suddenly see a factory full of workers in China.  My heart breaks to see them laboring like this, and knowing that I am benefiting from their labor."
-Jesus: "Project yourself into the factory.  Sit with them and feel my love pouring through your heart into their hearts.  See them soften and lighten.  Breathe the Father's Light in through your third eye then into your heart which is filled and surrounded by my Heart.  Then breathe the Fire of the Holy Spirit out of your heart into another's heart."

-Jesus: "Look into my eyes.  See them dazzling and clear, full of light and joy.  Looking into my eyes, see my Heart.  It is blazing and bursting with love's fire.  Lay your head on my Heart and I will sing you the song of you.  I will sing to you your Name.  All armor and rigidity and fear will fall away.  In the warm presence of love you become soft and alive.  In my Heart there is no judgement.  There is only the judgement of seeing who you most deeply are.  Love's eyes invite you to softly open and unfold.  It may seem like a long time before the seed cracks.  But the sun's coaxing is patient and persistent.  It never gives up.  Once the protective shell is burst apart, the life-force contained within it explodes--reaching deep into the Earth and stretching high toward the Sun.  This is the rending of the stone tomb.  This is resurrection into the Presence of God."

I see your Sacred Heart.  I connect my heart to yours.  I see you coming with a host of Angels.  I see your feet touching Earth with a low boom that reverberates through rock and sea and air.  You have come to claim your kingdom.  The parched soil of the planet and of our own bodies are longing for the rain of justice and healing that has begun to fall.  In your presence I become ashamed of all the time I've wasted.  My vision and my mind become clouded.  You say, "Do not look at yourself.  Look at me.  See my radiance, my glory.  See my smile.  I will sing to you a song.  A song of love.  Would you like to hear it?"
"YES!"
