Mary:
My dear children, peace be with you. I greet you today as a mother. I bless you and I thank you for gathering here in such great number to hear the words, the words that God has desired for me to speak to you, a call to conversion, a call to love, a call to peace. My dear children, you live in a time and an age when your world is always changing; there is always something to be afraid of. I tell you that God is not changing. God does not change. He is the Eternal Now. In Him and through Him all things were made. For Christ Jesus, all of creation came into being. In an instant, everything that you know, was!
You cannot comprehend the mind of God. You do not know the permanence, the perfection, the omniscience, the beauty, and the glory of the mind of God. You cannot comprehend how great His plan is for all of the created world. And so, He sends me, my children, all of these years to you, because I too once walked upon this earth, and I understood and knew suffering as you do. I felt the pains of the brokenness of this world and the brokenness of life. I grieved, I suffered loss, I struggled, I sorrowed, and yet it was faith in my God, faith in the living God, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, that sustained me and helped me bear the crosses that are present in every life of a believer. And then, to be standing, watching, at the foot of the cross, as I saw my Son, His body pierced and flayed, broken for the salvation of all mankind, to be there at that moment, to suffer such pain in my heart, but to see the glory, the glory that awaited Him, and myself, and you, and all who believe. What words, what words can explain? You cannot understand what God has in store for you!
And so, He sends me, little ones, into this world of darkness and constant change. If it is not this busyness, it is another. If it is not this fear, it is another. Constantly you are being told that all is unwell, and all is unrest. And while truly there is great darkness in the world, a darkness that spreads through the souls of mankind like a plague, worse than any plague or pandemic that you can know, I tell you there is reason for great joy!
Are you living joy, my little ones? Do you have joy in your heart each day, the joy that comes from knowing the risen Christ, He who is Victor over the devil, He who is Victor over death itself? What can befall you in this world that He cannot have victory over, that He has not already been victorious over? Why are you so afraid? You live in a prison of fear. That is exactly where the adversary wishes for you to be, because when you are afraid, you are turned away from God, for there is no fear in Him, and fear comes not from Him.
He has called you to trust like little children; to trust. How is it that a little child trusts? A little one looks with great expectation to his father for all good things. When afraid, he runs, yes, runs to the arms of his mother, knowing that she will protect, and guide, and teach. Are you running, children, to my arms that I might protect you, and guide you, and teach you? Are you running trustingly to the Father? That is the only thing that matters, for in this present age the sufferings are great, but every suffering and every sorrow that you know is the opportunity to be one with Christ, to join your sufferings to His passion and, in doing so, make up that which is lacking in His sufferings: your cooperation, your participation. The beauty of a soul that suffers with patience, with the understanding that God is still God above the heavens, and that He is unchanged, that soul shines in this dark world and is a beacon of light for others who are so in need.
You, you all come here tonight for the same reason, because you are seeking. You know in your hearts that there is more than what you see in this world. Yes, there are glimpses of the divine here given to you in beauty so that you might know the One who is beautiful, but there is so much ugliness, and death, and suffering! You know that you have been created for more than this, and God will take all of this ugliness, and all of this suffering, and all of the death, and He will turn it into something glorious, just as the cross was the greatest glory! In the moment when my maternal heart wept and pained for the suffering of my Son, the greatest act in all of creation was occurring, that singular moment of time, when Jesus gave up His soul to the heavens, when He went to the Father. All of creation shuddered! The skies were rent open! Every angelic host in being, more numerous than you can imagine, more numerous than the stars, shook! Those who chose God shook with joy; those who opposed Him shook, with deep and tremendous awe at the Son of God! And yet, mankind saw it not. Men went about their day working, and trading, and talking, and laughing, and eating, and drinking, and saw it not. Imagine!
You, you who gather here, when you gather and you go to the Holy Mass, when you participate in this great act of worship, when you receive the body and blood, soul and divinity, of your Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, your souls are rent and torn open, and the brokenness that is inside is exposed, exposed to the fulness of His glory and healed! You do not see. You do not feel. You go about your day eating, and drinking, and working, and praying. If you but could see with the eyes of Heaven. Joy! Your joy would be everlasting! Just as blind Bartimaeus called out to Christ, so you must call out to Him and ask Him to give you eyes to see, to see His face as He truly is, to see Him in His glory. You will not experience great manifestations or miracles each and every time you utter this prayer, but truly I say to you, there will not be a moment that God does not reveal His face to you. You must only look and know how to see it.
If you desire to see, to have eyes to see, look to the face of your oppressed neighbor. Look to the face of the poor. Look to the face of the one who is grieving and sorrowing. Find the suffering Christ there and love Him. If this world turns to love, the light will be unstoppable. The choice belongs to you, my little ones. God is unchanging. The same God who was, is, and ever will be and is present with you now. You must choose. You may choose joy, and faith, and trust, or you can choose fear, the constancy of change, and the irrational busyness of your modern life. There are two roads, and one is the way to life and the other leads to death, and you must choose.
I am with you, guiding you and leading you. I have ever been with you, and I pray God permits me to continue to be with you, that I might lead you, and guide you, and teach you, and instruct you, and be the arms of the mother to whom you run when you are afraid, for I tell you this, the smallest and lowliest saint in Heaven is something so glorious and so beautiful that all of Hell shudders at the thought! Be at peace, little ones, and know that you are loved, so very loved, so precious, for you have such a great redeemer. Amen.
