Mary:
My dear children, peace be with you this night. I am so thankful that again, the Lord allows me to come to you and to speak to you in this place that is holy, this place that is most dear to my heart. Dear ones, again as your mother, I come to you. Again this night, I beseech you and implore you to make God center in your life. My little ones, God bestowed upon you such a grace, a grace to hear my voice, to hear my words which are words He has given me to give to you. He gave to you the grace to hear, to hear that which others have not heard. He gave you the grace to understand that the truth lies in His holy word, in the Gospels, in the teachings of the Church, and that which He has imprinted upon your very heart.
My dear ones, you know, truly, that God is with you. How many times I have echoed that message to you! How many times I have told you God is with you and He loves you! It is for this purpose that still, God allows me to come into this place and to, truly as your mother, remind you that He is with you. The world has forgotten Him. Many are far from Him. Yet, He is so good, and He is so merciful, that He continues to break forth into this world like the dawn of a new day to bring peace, and mercy, and joy, and hope to His people, people scattered about, yet one in Him.
My dear ones, again this night, I ask for your prayers, for truly, it is with prayer that you will change to face of the earth. It is only through prayer that peace can be obtained. It is only through prayer that love can be lived each day. It is only through prayer that you can commit to God and keep your vow to Him to follow His way, for God loves you so much that He takes your very heart and molds it, and shapes it, and changes it, not into what you were, but into that which you might become in Him. Dear ones, as your mother, there is nothing else I can ask from you but this: continue to give your heart to God.
You have begun the journey of conversion. These many years, you have followed my words and you have implemented them in your families. You have prayed, you have sacrificed, you have fasted, you have converted, and yet I ask for more. More always, dear ones, for that is your mission upon this earth: to be perfected in Christ Jesus, to each day take on Christ like a cloak to protect you, to really and truly be with you, to fill you, to free you. Therefore, dear ones, I ask God today and always to truly envelop you in His love, to embrace you, to make you one, one amongst each other and one in Him, for that is what you are called to be, one people in one God.
Christ sends me, the Father sends me, the power of the Holy Spirit sends me that I might be a messenger to you and witness to you of the glory of God. It is His glory that He desires to share with you. It is His transforming love that He desires to give you. You must open your hearts, open your eyes, open your ears, open your lives to Him. It is that simple, dear ones, and that difficult! You must abandon your natural self. You must give up all within you that keeps you from Him and embrace the cross. In doing so, then you will find joy, then you will find peace, then, and only then, will you be fulfilled, for you are a creature, created by the Father to be completed by Him. There is nothing in this world that will complete you but His love.
My children, as your mother, again I remind you, it is only when you place God as the center of your lives, at the center of your home, at the center of your heart, that you will truly know Him and become Christ to one another. In doing so, you will bring light to the earth and where darkness once was, light shall prevail. God, God who is mighty, will do great things through you if you let Him use you as His vessel, in His way, in His time.
Dear ones, I thank you for gathering in such great numbers this day, for being committed to my messages and, most of all, for going to the Holy Mass, frequenting the sacraments, and making prayer the most important part of your day. In this way, you will be sanctified, and a mother’s most ardent desire will be satisfied. My dear ones, may the peace of Christ be with you today and always. I offer to you my motherly blessing, and you are before the Father in my prayer always.
