November 10, 1993 Funeral at St. Lawrence<br />
I Come First, Child<br />
Before Mass<br />
R.I was at church to play the organ at a family funeral. It was a<br />
new organ for me and I had not yet practiced two songs. He told<br />
me to come to Him and forget the music. I was ashamed that I<br />
wanted to put the music before Him. He said, “When I call, you<br />
come.”<br />
Come to Me! Stop it, I tell you. Don’t run amok. I want to be<br />
alone with you and you are to come and be with Me. I love you with<br />
such intensity. Sit awhile with Me and let Me fill your soul. In this<br />
silence your heart is at unrest. You are busy in silence. What a sad<br />
heart! I am here and you are busy. I want you to put Me first, to put<br />
aside your music. This is your time with Me. “Well,” you say, “Who<br />
cares? The Lord calls me now. For You, Lord, I would drop everything<br />
and come and run.” That is the love I bid you to share with<br />
Me! My calling you, your responding without the slightest hesitation.<br />
Do you know now what I want? I want your love committed to<br />
Me first, last and always. When I call you, come, not in a little while,<br />
but right away and bid My call! I can make the heavens fall from the<br />
sky if I choose. Would you make Him Who has all the power wait<br />
on you when He calls? I am calling you now to life with Me. I fill<br />
your troubled soul and you see things from My perspective and not<br />
your own. I have all the power. What do you have to worry for? I<br />
can make it work or not work. I must be first. You must harken to<br />
My call and surrender everything to Me. Surrender this work to Me<br />
and let Me do it. Do you trust, child, or do you think you are in control?<br />
I want your time now. You are telling Me that I am first. Do not<br />
hold on to anything when I call. I come and you must come when I<br />
beckon you. You have brought Me much joy because you came. I<br />
love you so. I want so much to have time alone in front <strong>of</strong> the tabernacle<br />
with you. You crave this time now but you tell yourself you<br />
must be focused on something else.<br />
I come first, child—first, last and always. Drop your cares and<br />
run to Me when I call thee. Oh little one, make My heart happy with<br />
you. Surrender totally to Me. Trust and let Me play the Mass. You<br />
needn’t fret and fume. I am God and I dwell in you. You move about<br />
but I operate you when you surrender. I want this surrender. Let go<br />
<strong>of</strong> the last songs and see if I do them. Be with Me now, little one, in<br />
My house, the house <strong>of</strong> your youth. Many memories are here for<br />
you. Feel your past and come to Me and share your heart.<br />
I love you. Oh, I love you. We are alone here. Come in<br />
Communion with Me. Let all go and be with Me!
