Mary:
My dear children, I come bearing the peace of Christ, the peace of my Son given to you freely, purchased for you through the price of His blood, on a cross on Calvary. I come to offer you joy and freedom from the darkness that threatens to envelop the world: a darkness of materialism and greed, a darkness of sin and death.
My little ones, you cannot imagine how precious you are to God our Father! You do not know how great a price He would pay, and has paid, for your salvation. You see the cross, but you cannot understand the tremendous suffering of Christ that He willingly took upon His own flesh, and spirit, and mind, and heart, that in a mystical way your suffering might be perfected in Him and given tremendous value. Suffering is a cruelty beyond measure if it has no value, and it is you alone amongst all creation, together with the Angels, who can spiritually understand, and know, and see, the plan of God. It is for you a gift, to know the things of God that He has revealed in the person of Christ Jesus, and it is to you given the gift of suffering. No man desires pain and it has no purpose if it is not formative and transforming, for no man who suffers ever remains as he is, but all are changed and transfigured; and it is to you, little ones, the decision about what that transfiguration will look like and what it shall produce in you. For truly, I tell you that it will be to one end or another: to a perfection and a glory beyond your imagining, or to a grief and a loss beyond your comprehension.
Now in this world, all cry “fear!” All are lost, and lonely, and isolated, and afraid, so afraid! My children, why? Why fear when you have such a God who loves you? No, you do not understand, you cannot, but you are not alone in your struggles! Look to the cross, for there you see the measure of the love of God poured out for the world. There you see, viscerally, the price paid that you might be redeemed, for He has called you by name and you are His. Do not think that you are so far from Heaven, little ones, for you are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses who do not simply watch you in your struggle and in your trial, but actively participate each day, at every moment, in the working out in your flesh that which is lacking in the sufferings of Christ, which is your participation: the gift of your will. These hallowed and holy ones, these saints of Heaven, these who now behold the face of God, reveal to you the face of Christ. It is in them, in these holy and blessed saints, that you find your help, an army of God ready and waiting to assist you at every moment, and not only these blessed and holy ones, but those who in purgation are even now praying for you, even now offering their sufferings for your sake, helpless as they are for themselves, your brothers and sisters who are in need of your prayer, for you are one holy church.
Holy, set apart for God, not pretentious, not prideful, not better, but set apart. In your brokenness, in your faults, in your failures, in your sinfulness offered up to Him and sanctified, you are one. What greater gift can you give to these poor souls than your prayers, these who wait even now and work toward seeing Him in beatitude, these holy souls, precious to God, who, though they suffer and struggle, would never for a moment return to this earthly dwelling, for they are assured of salvation, assured of forever in Christ. No, it is you, you church here militant, you church working, praying, suffering, loving, it is you who are the hands and feet of Christ in a very real way; if you are to encounter the face of Christ on this earth, it will be only in your brother and sister and the holy sacraments He has left to be your strength and your power. He has given you an authoritative church with the power to bless and to heal. He has given you the sacraments that you might be renewed and strengthened. He knows how you have faulted; He knows your sinfulness. He loves you exactly as you are, always, but He desires so much more for you than this present life you know!
You cannot understand the value of each gift you make, given out of the will, for the kingdom of God. You cannot understand. It would do no good for me to continue to try to explain, for you can see no more than an infant can see and know of the workings of his mother and father, and if an earthly mother and father work for the good of a child, how much more does your Father in Heaven Who is perfect in every way, work for your good? How much more does He love you? How much more does He desire you? He has made you good and beautiful, a wonderous creation. He has ensouled you from the first moment of your conception and has known you, and will know you, for always.
When this world cries out in fear and darkness, respond with love, and peace, and joy! What is there to fear? Do you not know that death is gain and life is gain when lived for Christ? How many holy saints must write to you and speak to you of such things? I ask you, little ones, to take this into your heart, to truly begin to live it, not with the knowledge that comes from the mind, but with the firm will of one who, without reservation, determinedly perseveres, perseveres in truth, and goodness, and beauty. When this world is afraid of that which can destroy the body, I say to you little ones, have no fear! Your God is with you. Seek to work toward the good of your souls. Turn away from the lies of this world that tell you that you have no value. Turn away from the sinfulness of mankind that strips you of your dignity and robs you of your peace. Turn away from those who wish to destroy you, and break you, and turn to the one who was broken for you, whose flesh was laid open and arms outstretched wide as he was crucified for you, because only He who knew what once was, what was given up, what was lost and stripped from you. Only He could freely choose to offer Himself as a holy sacrifice, to purchase back a greater glory than that which was lost.
That is your destiny, a greatness beyond your imagining, a union with God your Father in Heaven that is perfect where you will experience love that you cannot even now comprehend, that you cannot begin to understand. Begin now to turn in love to one another, to encourage one another, to be strength for one another, and to remind one another of the inexorable value of each human person, especially those most reviled by the world, who are my chosen children, my sons and daughters, given to me by Christ Himself as He took His final breaths. You who are my children, I will defend you as my own and I will love you with the love of Christ which even in the perfection and sanctity that is proper to the saints of Heaven, pales in comparison to the love of Christ, which is extraordinary!
I will love you and walk with you. You do not need to do anything except turn your face toward me and extend your hand, that I may take your hand and lead you. I shall do this through those God places in your life to walk with you. I shall be an instrument in your healing. Permit me, little ones, to enter into your heart to clean up, as a good mother does in the home and hearts of her children, to wash away the dirt, and the stains, and the pain, and the grief, and the scars, the scars that are even now on your flesh. Let me wash you clean with the living water that is Christ. Be free, for who can stand against Him? Even the Demons of Hell flee at the sound of my voice, not because of any power or grace that is mine, but because of the love of God that lives in me and in every saintly soul, because of the beauty of the grace of the Holy Spirit Who is even now moving in His Church, and cleansing His Church, and cleansing His people. I your mother come with strength, given to me by God through no power of my own, but through the authority of the Most High God to tell you, be free in Christ, receive the freedom of Christ, and permit Him to love you, for you are so loved.
My little ones, pray in union with the holy souls now in Heaven and making their way to Heaven, suffering, and waiting, anticipating the beatific vision that, please God, will one day be yours. Unite your prayers with the Church Universal for the salvation of souls and the renewal of the faith of the earth, that the Holy Spirit may come with power and glory, with the mercy of God, purchased by the blood of Christ, and open wide the floodgates of His love to transform the face of the earth. May the peace of this same Christ be with you, as I give to you my promise of prayer, advocacy, and protection. Amen.
