16th November as I was nearing completion of the writing on the Beatitudes I was given the following as part of a fuller locution . . .

JESUS . . . Today you heard the parable of the talents and money. Each ends with the statement that those who have 'not' even the little they have will be taken away from them. This must be seen in conjunction with the Beatitudes, the Blessings. Having something that is Blessed by Heaven, by Poverty of Spirit, or Toil, and sadness - great rewards will be added on,-- even greater gifts because those who live in the Beatitudes multiply blessings as they walk in the path of Holiness and so grace is lavished upon them without measure.

Woe to them who do not accept or relinquish these gifts or hide them away. Multiply, increase all that has been given. Strive for ever greater interiority and do not lose sight of the purpose and mission that has been presented.
