9. The Song of
Divine Love.
Introduction.
This
is a spiritual dialogue between Our Lord and the soul calling them to follow
Him to the high mountains of perfection. Through the Song, Our Lord seeks to
draw all souls individually to join a great symphony of love, praise and
Adoration. God is the source of the Song. It is ancient yet forever new and
each soul is a unique instrument through which God desires to sing His Song of
Divine Love and to bring the light of Christ into the world.

Jesus. The Song is personal and each soul will find they
have their own special part; each individual arrangement and score is unique;
there is no other soul that can sing your part; the symphony is not the same
without you.
This
is a love song; You are My love. Early
in the morning before dawn I listen; as the sun rises I wait and hope all day
long in anticipation. In the evening, at
twilight as the sun is setting, I wait with longing; will My love sing the Song
I have composed for her?
Then
I hear the first few verses; My love has discovered My Song of Love, she is
trying out the composition. The sound of
her soul’s voice is on the breeze “Thy Will be done, Thy Will be done. My soul glorifies the Lord; my spirit
rejoices in God my Saviour – it is in death that there is life” (death to self
and death to all that is not of God).
My
love is coming. I wait for her. I will clothe her in a new robe of innocence
and we will go to the high mountains, singing in unison and in union – together
yet one – bathed in the sunlight of My Presence.
16th
October 1989. Visit to the Blessed
Sacrament.
Patricia. Today I was shown the high
pastures and Our Lord sitting on the rock listening to the song of the little
bird. Our Lord showed me that the little
bird was not facing Him and was very taken up with its own song. I realised that true love, perfect love,
could only come from God and that the Song of Love had to come from God – His
melody, His sweetness, His tone and pitch, His harmony and His symphony.
The small bird was so ashamed of its lack of humility that I saw it fly
straight to Our Lord, tuck itself into His neck and weep because of its pride.
Our Lord was gentle, and kindly He showed me how very young I was in knowing
His ways. Our Lord said:
Jesus. The Song is sung in silence. This is the first verse of the Song of
Love. Humility only grows in
silence. Learn humility in silence!
26th October 1989.
Patricia. Our Lord showed that the eight
verse of the Song is the daily practising of it in all circumstances of life.
Jesus.
Little bird, what is the pitch of this Song of Love but the events and
happenings of your life that I allow, to train the voice of your soul so that
in all your actions, thoughts and intentions you may practise the Song of Love,
and this will teach you to sing it.
Patricia. My Lord, life seen from within
this Song takes on a completely different meaning; everything looks different;
sorrows look like joys and pleasures like death. I love you, My King!
Jesus. Sing, little bird, sing!
Jesus.
Here is the perfection of the Song in your race (Patricia. Our Lady was
shown) and here is the guardian of the Song (Patricia. St. Joseph was shown);
here is the sweetest part of the melody (Patricia. the Child Jesus was shown).
Patricia. We need to be like the innocent
Holy Child, to practise the sweetest part of the melody; ‘Unless you become
like a little child you cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven’.
27th May 2000. ‘The Song of Love is sung in silence.’
Patricia.
Today at the sharing after the Eucharistic University, someone spoke
about their work in the Catechism Course on the subject of the ‘Our
Father’. During this time Our Lord showed
me how the Father loves us, how much the Son of God loves us, and how much the
Holy Spirit loves us.
Jesus. Every leaf, every blade of grass,
every flower, the petals of each flower, every sunrise and sunset, every bird,
every feather on every bird, every cloud, every sunbeam, every drop of rain,
has written on it I LOVE YOU! Every leaf
that moves in the wind sends out My Song of Divine Love. It is sung in the air on warm summer days. My message of Love is written on every
snowflake that gently falls to the earth, love’s message sparkles out in every
ice crystal across a landscape covered in hoarfrost. On every created thing, including each one of
you, is written words of Love from your God.
Each thing interacts with countless other things. The sun sparkles on the water, the rainbow
adorns the sky, the wind blows through the reeds and loving mothers and fathers
rejoice when their child is born. And so
My Song of Love is sung in silence or in sounds so often not recognised as the
Song of Divine Love.
Many do not realise that the most intimate love letters
from their God are hidden in suffering.
When you receive these secret letters say to yourself, “‘it is the
Lord’, He has come and I will rejoice in My God”.
My Passion and Death is the ultimate love song of Divine
Love and every day you may open this letter in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass
where I reveal to you the hidden depths of My Love to enfold you in Love’s
embrace.
Love whispers to you everywhere, “Be Mine, be
mine!” You will find no lover more
faithful, more attentive, more caring, generous to overflowing, gentle and
tender-hearted. All your life long I
strive to fit you for the mansions of Divine Love. Dressing you in robes of fine virtues,
adorning my love with precious stones and chains of faithful love. Yes, this song is sung in silence and
humility and those who attune their ear to love’s symphony will die of joy as
they are swept up into eternity on the wings of Love Divine!
11th July
2004(i). Nazareth House.
Patricia. Lord, why don’t we hear the Song of Divine
Love with our ears instead of our souls?
Jesus. Because men would try to kill it, capture it,
or even sell it, but this way they cannot lay hold of it or silence it, for My
Song will be sung! It is sung
softly; softly as featherdown, soft as a summer breeze. It has perfume and colour, it is sung in the
colours of the flowers and the trees and all that has perfume in creation. There are millions of ways in which the Song
is sung. It is held still and fast in
the great mountains and rocks until it bubbles forth in the mountain
streams. It sparkles on the rivers and
it dances in the stars. The sun shines
in My Song and the birds compete in the Song each to their part. You can even taste the Song, the harvest and
the fruits of the earth that strengthen you to sing My Song and to walk in the
Way of My Divine Innocence!
Those who are attuned to My Song see and hear its rhythm everywhere;
those who live the Way of Divine Innocence and strive to sing this Song in all
their actions, words and deeds, need not fear death. Death is not the finale of the Song but the
continuation of a life well lived in Christian piety and truth.
Patricia. What about other peoples of the world (such
as those of other faiths who do not know of the Song)?
Jesus. They have part of the Song but
not the whole of it. The fullness of
this Song resides in the Catholic Faith.
No other religious leader has ever said “I Am that I Am” (Exo 3:14) or
that “I am the Way and the Truth and the Life, no one comes to the Father except
through me”! (Jn 14:6)
18th February
2005. The action of God’s Love around
us.
Patricia. While saying the rosary around the land near
Nazareth House we saw a beautiful blossom tree and I heard Our Lord say:
Jesus. Love in blossom! (All creation is a living
gift from a God who is Love)
Patricia. Later, as we continued the Rosary Our Lord
brought my attention to some birds circling in flight high in the sky and He
said:
Jesus. Love in flight!
Patricia. Then referring to a little child skipping
along with us as we said the Rosary He said:
Jesus. Love hopping about!
Patricia. We came to the last mystery of the Rosary,
the Crucifixion and Our Lord said:
Jesus. Love suffering for My beloved children!
Patricia. Our Lord then showed that when we sin and are
not loving according to the Gospel and the teaching of the Church, we wound
love and create a world where love dies.
Our Lord said:
Jesus. Look around you and look at true love
everywhere and compose a litany of Divine Love!
Patricia. Our Lord referred to places where the Blessed
Sacrament was reserved and said:
Jesus. Love in residence!
Patricia. Referring to the Holy sacrifice of the Mass,
Our Lord said:
Jesus. Love in saving action, Love reconciling, Love
in union.
Patricia. To married couples Our Lord said:
Jesus. The seed ground of procreation – Love in
co-operation with the Couple.
Patricia. Referring to the Sacrament of Baptism, Our
Lord said:
Jesus. Love’s kiss, Loves imprint – the Seal of
Love.
Patricia. Of the sacrament of Confirmation Our Lord
said:
Jesus. Love proceeding and confirming for Love’s
mission in the world.
Patricia. Of the Sacrament of Holy Orders Our Lord
said:
Jesus. Love’s authority given in services, Love
being dispensed.
Patricia. Of the Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick,
Our Lord said:
Jesus. Love’s call
and preparation for the higher journey of Divine Love raising up! [Patricia. To
health or to eternal life]
