My Beloved Children,

I reach forth this morning from within the Sacred Heart of Our God Mother, and enfold you in the fullness of Her Reverent Love. Through the ages, the power of this Love has enabled the perfection of Divine Mind to manifest upon the earth. I share the strength of Her Love with you now, so that you may share it with each other in the days to come.

The Love of our God-Mother for Her children, is pure and visionary. Indeed, it is the purity of the Mother Love which inspires Her vision of perfection. It is this perception of perfection which We refer to as the "Immaculate Concept".

I was permitted to hold the Immaculate Concept for Beloved Jesus during the years of His life leading up to the resurrection. During His early years, the task was comparatively easy―for what mother does not recognize and protect the purity and perfection of her child? As Jesus grew to his maturity, especially following the transition of my beloved Joseph, My responsibility grew more challenging. The mass consciousness put increasing pressure upon My Son and His disciples. The crowds became more chaotic, and the religious leaders more fierce in their subversions. Still, My task remained―to hold the Immaculate Concept of the manifest Christ, in full faith that events in the world of form held no power to affect the Christ Consciousness.

Then came the time of sorrows―the crucifixion. John and I climbed the hill that day, toward the form of My Son upon that cross―and, for the first time in years, I feared that I might be unable to complete my mission! Oh, beloved ones, to behold My Son at that moment! In all of my years as Mother of the Christ―this was the ultimate test. I had been carefully prepared for this moment, both prior to and during my embodiment. As a young child, I had been well-schooled in the scriptures. I knew the ancient prophecies inside and out―and the crucifixion had been meticulously foretold. Yet, faced with the seeming reality of My Son upon the cross―I felt the stirring of self- doubt for the first time.

Not for a moment did I doubt the perfection of the Plan! Nor did I doubt the divinity of My Son! No―I doubted my own ability to see through the outer appearance to the inner reality.

In that moment of despair, the gentle Voice of our God-Mother whispered in my ear. She said but one word, yet Her Essence surrounded and filled me. The word She whispered was, "LOVE!"

Strengthened by Her Presence, I asked for remembrance of the Truth. The power of My desire to serve realigned My vibration to the Sacred Tone of Love, and the scales fell from My eyes. I saw that I was not alone! Behind Me I felt the upholding presence of Archangel Gabriel, my friend of the ages. Joseph was by my side―I felt his touch upon my arm! And there―above the cross―I beheld the Light Body of Beloved Maitreya, the Cosmic Christ! At last, I could breathe again the breath of Holy Spirit, and I knew I could fulfill my vow.

At the moment I was able to see through the form of My Son upon the Cross, to the perfection of the Christ within, I knew that He held the victory of the ages in His grasp! My Love poured forth from My Heart in a mighty stream of light, and I heard Jesus say, "It is finished!" And so it was!

Beloved ones, I share this experience with you, to strengthen and encourage you as you go about fulfilling your vows of service! No one knows better than I, the challenge presented to the unfolding consciousness when it is called to look upon and through the depths of illusion. I see your struggles with self-doubt, and I bring to you remembrance of the Truth!

The joy of life is in the overcoming! The fullness of mastery is achieved through the challenges and victories of daily life! This is true―not only for the conscious chela, but for every man and woman of the race! The mass consciousness builds the cross. The Christ tears it down and uses its beams to kindle the Sacred Fire!

Holding the Immaculate Concept for yourself and for others, entails a certain humility of consciousness. Self-doubt becomes impossible when you know in your heart that "the Father within doeth His works!"

I give now into your keeping, the strength of the Love of Our God-Mother for Her children! As you abide within this Love, you are imbued with Her purity, Her vision and her strength. If you use it wisely, this Love will lead each of your brothers and sisters through the persecutions of the human experience, into the perfection of the Holy Christ! The miracle of the resurrection is the victory of Love! It is the victorious accomplishment of Divine Mind over the mass consciousness.

We gather this morning to celebrate the rising of the son in every human heart. We are joined in consciousness by chelas all over the world, manifesting a unified Chalice of Consciousness, filled to overflowing with the love of the Christ!

The perception of Christ consciousness as the birth-right of every human being, is gaining widespread acceptance within the hearts and minds of humanity. It has been a long road from the hill of Golgotha, where I prayed before the cross of My Son. As I prayed for Him then, I pray for each one of you, now―knowing that the Resurrection of the Son of God within you shall manifest upon the Earth, to the highest glory of our Father-Mother God!

I love you, my beloved children!
