Mary:
My dear little ones, peace today, I bring to you. I come as mother to bless you, to encourage you, and to comfort you. I come to remind you of the call that first I gave so many years ago through my chosen servant. So many gathered here today have not been with me since the beginning, since first I came to this place at the direction of our Father in Heaven because He saw the seeds of faith in the hearts of His people and desired for them to be renewed. Throughout the world my children have lost faith. They have been broken by the hardships and dangers of this world. The adversary desires to snatch them from the hands of Holy Mother Church and from the hands of freedom, love, truth, and life. Everywhere the Father sends me, He sends me with one message, one truth. He sends me to call His children back to Him to be renewed in spirit, to be renewed in faith, to come to know His face and worship Him rightly.
Little ones, from the beginning I have spoken this one message to you, in different ways, in different circumstances, but always the same one truth: the Father in Heaven, Whose love you cannot comprehend, desires to be one with you. You do not yet understand, as you one day will, the purpose of this life. As I survey my children, I see so many hearts gone astray because they seek happiness and joy in places that cannot bring these things. Within your heart is the desire to know the face of God, to know the One Who made you and for Whom you are made, and yet, you continue to seek this joy apart from Him! The world will only know peace and true joy when they return to the Father. Our Father in Heaven sent me because He is a good and merciful God. He does not desire to judge and condemn, but to save, to stretch forth His hand of salvation to all people that would simply turn to Him in trust. What father among you would do less for your children? What mother would not incessantly encourage and even, at times, cajole her children into right behavior, for we do this as mothers and fathers because we desire the happiness that we know is possible for our young ones when they live rightly and in truth. How much more does your Father in Heaven desire to give you these things?
Little ones, you who have not heard the full story of my messages, you who perhaps for the first time are acknowledging that God is real, and present, and exists in this world, and has broken through time, and space, and distance, to reach you in this present moment, to you I say: Come! To you, I beckon. Perhaps you think not of our Lord? Perhaps the busyness and the tasks of daily life have kept you from coming to God? Perhaps you come, but your heart is not present when you worship, for you are distracted by the things of life, and you come because it is your duty rather than your joy? It pleases me that you are here for duty's sake, because obedience itself is a virtue. Yet, greater it is that you should come to the Lord for joy and for love of Him alone, desiring nothing for yourself, but only to give glory to God Who made you and knows you as you do not even know yourselves, but come! Come as you are in this moment, where you are in your life. Those who have not known that God is real, and alive, and working, and moving in this world, come and follow! I invite you as surely as Jesus, on the banks of Galilee, invited His first apostles to come and follow.
Come! I invite you into a new life. You cannot go back. You cannot live the way that you once did, for in this present moment, God has chosen to speak to you, to give to you His great love and His tremendous mercy, to show you that there is hope and a new dawn coming when the world cries, “blackness and despair,” that there is life when the world cries “death,” that the adversary for once and for all was defeated on Calvary and shall not rise against the Victorious One, the Lamb of God who is slain upon the altars of the earth to take away the sins of the world, He who took into His flesh every sin and every transgression, that you may be washed clean and made white like the snow, and that in the twinkling of an eye, in one splendid moment, through the grace of the sacraments, God reconciles you to Himself and you are made a new creation, your heart transfused with the very blood of Christ, your body animated by the Spirit of God! It is your Father that has made this way for you. In a place, in a time, where there was no path forward for humanity, God took upon himself the task of the salvation of the world, for it was the only way forward. So great is His love that He, Himself, took upon, the pain that was yours, His shoulders, His back, His flesh. He became the Paschal Lamb that you might live and be saved. This Father runs to meet you. This Father chases you as the Hound of Heaven. At every moment of your life, He is seeking you.
The adversary lies to the people of God. He hides in half-truths and in outright falsehoods. He has told the people of God that God is dead, that He does not exist, that He does not love, that He is not present. This is an outright lie! He has told the people of God that they are unworthy, that they are unable, that they are incapable of coming to live the joy and the life that Christ desires for them. This is a partial falsehood. It is true, on your own, left to your own devices, you cannot live the tremendous life of joy that God desires to give you, but you have not been left alone. You have not been abandoned or orphaned. You are not a people cast aside, but a beloved people, a chosen people, sons and daughters of the Most High King, Who is and always will be on His throne. You cannot obtain anything on your own, but with the grace of God you can attain the heights of sanctity beyond your imagining, and with it, the joy and the inheritance that is due to you. I struggle to comprehend how it is that my people, who are offered a treasure greater than all that is in the world, still fail to simply outstretch their hands and receive.
My people, my children, from His cross Christ made me mother of all mankind. I now reign as Queen of Heaven and Queen of the Angels, but my greatest joy is to come to you and minister to you that you might hear the truth as surely and as real as His first disciples did, and that you might come to embrace and live it with your whole being. Choose love, little ones! It is really that simple. It is in choosing love and living love that you will find the face of Christ. The deep longing in your heart to see the face of God will be satisfied in the love that you give and receive from God; and then, one day, at the appointed hour, you will hear Him Who loves you above all else say to you, “Come, now.” No longer will it be I who beckons, but He himself who says: “Come! Receive what has been promised to you. Receive what has been prepared for you and gaze upon my countenance that you may see Me, face to face.” My little ones, rejoice in the fact that there is so great a God and honor Him, each day in every moment, that your life itself might become prayer.
