Blessed Mother: February 1997
February 1, 1997
My dear daughter,
Many times in life, each one of God’s little children experiences sorrow and failure. My little ones, when you fail to walk the path of God and stray far, you are not even then abandoned, for God is always with you, calling to you. My dear little children, everyone stumbles, makes mistakes. It is so very important that when you fall from the path of goodness, you pray to God to lead you back to a faithful life. My precious children, remember that Jesus too stumbled on His way to Calvary. Your sins are the weight that the Christ stumbled under, the weight that He took upon His cross and died for, but in doing so He made it possible for your soul to be wiped clean of all wrong doings. In dying so you might live eternally, Jesus offered the final sacrifice and the new covenant between God and His people, so that forever more your sins may be forgiven through the mercy of God. Do not despair in your failings, my little ones, but rejoice in your repentance and forgiveness. May the peace of Christ be with you.
February 2, 1997
My dear daughter,
Be merciful to all who suffer. My dear ones, a most holy gift is to be shown compassion. Daily there are opportunities for you to show compassion to your brother. Practice the virtue of patience. Listen to the least of my children and your God will most certainly hear your prayers and answer them. Wipe away the tears from the eyes of a child and the Lord shall wipe away the greatest sorrows of your heart. Offer love to a hurting stranger and you will know love. Whatever is given is received one hundred fold. My little ones, if you give the goodness of your works to the Lord by serving all His children with compassion, the great mercy and compassion of the Lord shall fill you. If you exude His graces, my children, you will receive them one hundred fold. May the peace of Christ be with you.
February 3, 1997
My dear daughter,
I am pleased by the willingness of many of my children to dedicate themselves to God. Remember that it is necessary to reflect Him in all that you do so that others might see His love in you. My dear little ones, it is never right to slander your brother. Many of my little ones suffer because of the persecutions they endure by words and actions of their brothers. Do not insult another for his actions or talk harshly about him. In doing this you judge him and only the Lord has such power. Instead, reach out with the love of God and offer your friendship to him. Do not allow vicious words to be spoken about another, but hold your tongue and pray for blessing upon that peace. My dear children, it is a greater grace to pray for these little ones and a grave wrong to promote persecution. May the peace of Christ be with you.
February 4, 1997
My dear daughter,
The rosary is a most powerful prayer. I have asked all of my little ones to recite it daily. Dear children, as you meditate upon the life and works of Christ, let the Holy Spirit inspire you to understand more fully the Christ. The power of the rosary is its ability to change the hearts of men. Though all prayers are holy, this is a most special prayer because through it my little ones come to understand the greatest gift of our Lord, His son, in a much deeper way. I ask that when you pray the rosary you contemplate each mystery. See the Lord’s love for you in His sorrowful passion. Know the power of God by the glorious resurrection of Jesus. My little ones, I ask you to pray the rosary often. Know that I accompany you with the angels of heaven in offering this prayer to our Lord. Through the rosary, God’s mercy will embrace the whole world. May the peace of Christ be with you.
February 5, 1997
My dear daughter,
While on earth it is not possible to imagine the splendor of God’s kingdom of heaven. My dear children, the place which the Lord has prepared for you resounds with His glory. In His heavenly kingdom, we meet our father as He embraces us with joy at our arrival. My little ones, it is as if the prodigal son returns to his father and all the heavens sing out with joy. My dear children, nothing on earth can compare to the kingdom of God. The beauty and love there is beyond this world. I assure you, dear ones, a man can spend one thousand years looking into the loving face of his father and his joy will not be quenched. My dear little children, I cannot possibly tell you my joy as I returned home to my son, to our Lord. I long for each of you to be in heaven with me. With my son, we look to the day that we will embrace you and welcome you to the place He has prepared for you, and with my son I will joyfully present you to the Father that you might gaze lovingly on one another, creature and Creator. My dear ones, the rapture of that moment, the purity of God’s love, is truly wondrous. Pray, dear children, that God will deliver you safely home. May the peace of Christ be with you.
February 6, 1997
My dear daughter,
To each of His children, God gives a special call. My dear ones, hear and answer Him! We are all called to the service of the Lord, each in our own way. The Lord has given each of His children gifts and graces. Each is called to a life in God, some to marriage and family, others to the priesthood, others yet to missions of charity. Each one of you, dear ones, has been called in a special and unique way. Many times, the greatest glory can be given to God through the smallest of tasks. My dear children, I challenge you to respond to the Lord’s call to you with the fullness of your heart. His path is the true path and the way to eternal joy. My dear ones, pray that you might recognize the hand of the Lord in your life and devote your heart to Him fully. May the peace of Christ be with you.
February 7, 1997
My little one,
The Lord has planted the seed of His word in the hearts of all men through the scripture, through His prophets, and by way of all those who serve Him. By His mercy, He has sent me to you that I might teach and instruct you. My dear ones, you have been shown the way to honor the Lord and serve Him. You have been taught how to pray and to love. My little ones, I encourage each of you to resolve to put into action all you have been taught in a greater way in your lives. Each day strive to love more than the last, drawing ever closer to the Lord. My precious little ones, you are the children of God, His beloved. Let us all give Him glory and praise His name. He desires so much your love and wishes for each of His children to live in His goodness. May the peace of Christ be with you.
February 8, 1997
My dear daughter,
I am saddened by the loss of faith among my children. Dear little ones, do you not know that your God loves you more than all creation? Children, hear me as I assure you that you are so loved. Your father in heaven will not forsake you. My precious ones, place your trust in Him. Daily ask Him to guide your lives that you might follow the road to eternal joy. Be certain that your God hears you and provides for you. Do not lose faith, dear ones. Although many would fall around you, maintain your convictions and dedication to the Lord. It is not an easy journey. Follow the way of the cross, for your Lord and Christ came to free you from your sins and show you the way to the Father’s kingdom. May the peace of Christ be with you.
February 9, 1997
My dear daughter,
I love all of my children very much. I pray that all of my little ones would come to trust within the Lord. My dear little ones, be examples of the goodness in your hearts. My precious ones, let your souls sing praise to God Almighty for the good works He has done through you. The Lord will reward you in heaven, for the way to heaven is service. Let God bless you with all of His graces so that He might work in you to accomplish His tasks. He desires for all His dear children to reign with Him in heaven. May the peace of Christ be with you.
February 10, 1997
My dear daughter,
Daily in your churches you hear the word of God read to you from the scriptures. My dear children, tonight I ask you to really listen to what it is that God teaches you through His word. The scripture is a fine treasure, for in it is contained God’s new covenant with His people. My little ones, listen to your God, for He speaks to all your hearts. Come to understand His goodness and mercy, His great love for each of you. The Lord has given you the way to salvation through His word. Listen to His call. May the peace of Christ be with you.
February 11, 1997
My little one,
During this life there are many decisions to be made and much uncertainty. My little children become lost in fear and anxiety about what is to come. My little ones, do not live in your futures, but in each moment you are blessed with. Why do you worry so? Remember as Jesus said, the Father cares so dearly for each little sparrow, will He not care for you, His precious children? Do not be anxious or concerned, but live each moment with full faith and trust in God. Remember that your father in heaven sees all that you have been, all that you are, and all that you will be. Trust in His loving guidance for your lives. Pray that you will always be drawn closer to Him, especially in times of uncertainty. May the peace of Christ be with you.
February 12, 1997
My dear daughter,
Jesus Christ is the king of heaven and earth. My dear children, how differently you define a king than the Father. An earthly king bears treasures of gold, while the Christ brought the treasure of life. Your rulers live royally with much splendor. The Christ came into this world in a place fit for livery. Great monarchs of your time dress in shining garments with gemstone crowns. The Lord wore only rags gathered among scraps of stitching wool without even a cloth to adorn His head. Your kings die celebrated deaths surrounded by servants and handmaids. My Jesus died as a criminal with only a few to comfort Him. My dear little ones, as the difference in lives is great, so is the promise of each. From the worldly kings, an abundance from the earth is given. My little ones, He who is meek is mighty, He who is small is great, and He shall give you eternal life in His perfect kingdom. May the peace of Christ be with you.
February 13, 1997
My dear daughter,
The Heavenly Father created each little child with His own hands. Dear ones, with love He gave you life, filled you with His love, and placed in you a shining soul. My little children, do not become frustrated by the things of this world, for God has counted each of your days until your world passes away. Do not cry out “injustice” when terrible happenings occur in your lives. Your worries and anger will not add one day to your lives. Do not envy that of another, for all that you have has been given by the Father. Instead, dear ones, use your time wisely. Learn to trust in God’s ways and strengthen your faith in times of trial. Sing and praise Him for the life He gave you. Take what you have been given and multiply the goodness of your gifts, for it is true that to whom much has been given, much must be reaped. May the peace of Christ be with you.
February 14, 1997
My dear daughter,
Do not strive to be great among men, dear children, but rather great in the kingdom of God. To be great in His kingdom is to be humble and selfless. Seek not to glorify yourselves, but the God who loves you so dearly. Strive to be honest, for honesty keeps your hearts pure. The Father in heaven has given you His holy commandments. Live your lives by their words. My blessed little ones, be great in God’s kingdom. Ready yourselves. Do not think that there will be tomorrow to love and serve Him, for you do not know when you shall be called home to heaven. Serve God with each day you are given, even in the smallest of daily tasks. May the peace of Christ be with you.
February 15, 1997
My dear daughter,
The greatest sin of this world is the sin of anger. My dear ones, you fill yourselves with darkness when you give in to the temptations of anger. Anger is the weapon of Satan, for it is the root of hate and injustice and can only destroy love. My little ones, when you find yourselves filled with anger, ask God to free your hearts that you might be open to the healing goodness of love. To be angry is to destroy yourself. My dear children, I love you so very much and wish that you would be filled with joy. Invite peace into your hearts. Where there is the darkness of anger there is no room for the light of God. I only wish for you to be filled with His love. May the peace of Christ be with you.
February 16, 1997
My dear daughter,
Today I would like to speak to you on purity and beauty of the soul. So many of my little ones concern themselves with physical beauty. Your bodies are holy temples created by the Master’s hands and they are most beautiful. Your beauty, dear ones, shines from within the great gift of your soul. The Heavenly Father has created you lovingly and the Holy Spirit of God dwells in His creation. Therefore, little ones, have great respect for the bodies God has given you, for they are the creation of His hands and ultimately belong to Him. Concern yourselves not with adorning yourselves with jewelry and fine clothing, but develop the rich beauty that is within each of you. Many have made their bodies an idol. They live to serve the pleasures of their earthly bodies. My dear children, as God created man from the dirt of the earth, so you shall return to it. Your eternal soul radiates your true beauty. Through faith, love, and trust in God, your souls will shine as the sun and be most pleasing to the Father. May the peace of Christ be with you.
February 17, 1997
My dear daughter,
Praised be Jesus! I am most joyful to be with you. My dear ones, be glad, for the Lord is good and His love is unending. My little ones, I would like to encourage you once again to take time to adore our Lord in a special way in the Eucharist. During this time of preparation, when we remember the great suffering that the Christ endured to free the world from sin, recognize with great devotion His second sacrifice, the Eucharistic Sacrifice. Daily our Lord offers His body that His precious ones may be united in Him. Pray, dear ones, before His holy body and all of the graces and mercy of the Father will be given to you. It is before the most blessed Eucharist that the mercy of God can be given most freely to His people. The Lord is greatly pleased by this holy devotion and your loving attention to His holy body. During this time of preparation, may the realization of the true Christ of the Eucharist bring you closer to the heart of God. May the peace of Christ be with you.
February 18, 1997
My dear daughter,
My prayer is that you will persevere in all ways despite difficulties you may face. My dear children, this life is littered with stumbling blocks, times in your lives when it is easy to stray from the path of righteousness. For many, this occurs in times of great sorrow and loss when they begin to question the way of God. For others, the fall from God’s way comes in times of bitter loneliness. Still others stray in the midst of daily trials. My little children, I encourage you to persevere through trial and continue your walk with God through this life. Strive daily to better answer His call to you through your families, your friends, your careers. Every person is precious to the Father and each is called to be among His beloved. Give thanks to the Lord for His great mercy and seek to serve Him. It is in giving your lives to the will of God that you receive true life, a life of love and joy. May the peace of Christ be with you.
February 19, 1997
My dear daughter,
It is sad to see how much anger and hatred exists between my little ones. Dear children, you have divided yourselves into many communities of faith. How often those who call themselves Christians fight against one another because their faith is not the same and each serves God differently. Do not be divided, little ones, for the Father of sin is the cause of division. The evil one so desires the collapse of the true church, the church that God has given you through the way and example of Christ. Do not persecute those who do not profess your beliefs. What right have you to judge their faith, that which only God can see? You are all dear ones, branches on the same fig tree. Though different in many ways, together you grow in harmony as a complete gift to God and, like the fig tree, if the branches are divided and torn from the tree it will surely collapse and die. My dear ones, trust that the Lord will strengthen you that you might grow strong in Him. May the peace of Christ be with you.
February 20, 1997
My dear daughter,
God desires pure hearts. Only a heart that is free from the bondage of sin can truly know God. My dear children, that is why it is so important to receive the sacrament of Reconciliation often. This most perfect gift of God unites the Lord and His people through His mercy. Allow the Lord to touch your heart and purify it. God loves the world so dearly! The Christ was sent to take away the sin of the world. You need only to confess and repent. My little children, I wish for you to live holy lives dedicated to the Lord. Pray that you might always be pure of heart that you might serve God with all of your heart. May the peace of Christ be with you.
February 21, 1997
My little one,
I would ask, dear children, that you would spend less time making vows and promises to your God and spend more time living your intentions. To give your words will not benefit you, for you are not perfect and will make mistakes. The Lord has lovingly created you this way and understands each of your weaknesses. My dear ones, instead of promising change, live it! Each day become more and more the person God intends for you to be, joyful, peaceful, and radiant with His love. The Lord is a God of forgiveness and He knows that you will fall. I desire that when you stumble, you faithfully continue to walk closer to Jesus. My little ones, pray that you will begin to fully live in the true example and way of Jesus Christ. May the peace of Christ be with you.
February 22, 1997
My dear daughter,
So many of my little ones try so hard to journey through life alone. They struggle through hardships and find that they have no root to hold them to safety. My dear little ones, why do you try so hard to live your lives without God? I ask each of you to examine your hearts. Ask yourselves why it is that you do not depend on God. The sin of pride keeps many from trusting in His ways. My little ones, the Lord wants only to guide you, to carry you through the difficulties and joys of this life. Do not distance yourselves from Him, but rather embrace His love as He embraces each of you. Pray, dear ones, that you will be given the strength to ask for His guidance. May the peace of Christ be with you.
February 23, 1997
My dear daughter,
Hate comes easy to the hearts of men. The evil one infects my dear ones with fear and hatred. My little children, it is because you trust so little that you fall so easily. The Lord is love. All love comes by His grace. He has designed you to be instruments of His love. You, His children, are so precious to Him. He offers to you the gift of love. My dear children, do not allow your weaknesses to trap your hearts in hatred, fear, and anger. Instead, be freed by the love of God. Accept the great love your Lord offers to each of you and love Him with all your hearts. Love too your brothers in whom Christ dwells. To honor your neighbor is to love the Lord who created each of you. I pray that you will be filled with the love of God and receive the wisdom to overcome the anger, fear, and hatred that is in your lives. May the peace of Christ be with you.
February 24, 1997
My dear daughter,
Often I have told you of the importance of speaking the word of God. Today I wish for you to understand the importance of listening. My dear children, when you listen you begin to experience the peace of God. It is good to spend time talking and laughing together, but it is in the times of silence that your hearts are still and peaceful. Little ones, strive to listen more often, not only to the Lord who whispers in the silence of your hearts, but also to your brother. How many times a lonesome heart can be consoled by a friend! Try each day to take time to listen to your brothers and sisters in God, the world around you, and the silence of your hearts. I pray that in this way you will find greater peace. May the peace of Christ be with you.
February 25, 1997
My dear daughter,
Your world is so desperately in need of prayer. God has been replaced by money and materials. I wish I could show you, dear children, the sorrow, the horrible grief, that the Lord feels when He is rejected by His people. It is unimaginable! How sad it is to see the loss of one of His children to the darkness of the world. My dear children, please pray for those who struggle with faith, for there are so many. Pray that all of God’s children will turn to Him for love, mercy, forgiveness, and guidance. Pray that the world will learn to serve and glorify God. In your prayer, you will be strengthened by the love of God and come to understand His ways. My little ones, remember that prayer is so very important. Your prayer unites you with the Father and is a channel of His peace and mercy for all people. Continue to pray, my dear children. May the peace of Christ be with you.
February 26, 1997
My dear daughter,
I would like for all of you to reflect on the true meaning of forgiveness. When you forgive, do not allow your heart to continue to be angry with those who have wronged you. Forgive completely, letting the grace of God fill you. My little ones, one of the most difficult of virtues for man to live is the ability to forgive. It is not easy to love those who have hurt you. By your love for them, you are an example of the unconditional forgiveness of God. You cannot imagine the great forgiveness that God blesses the world with. So many turn away from Him, sin against Him, and hate Him. But for those who cry out for His mercy, His love is poured out and He embraces them. My dear ones, in learning to forgive with love you begin to understand the healing forgiveness of God and move closer to learning to forgive yourselves for your mistakes. May the peace of Christ be with you.
February 27, 1997
My dear daughter,
How wonderful it is that tonight you would come to me in this special way. My dear children, I desire for all of you to come before God in prayer. At this time, you present your love before the throne of God as you pray with love in your hearts. There are so many who desperately need your prayers! You cannot possibly understand the strength of true prayer. Truly, the faith and trust of a true prayer could move the hearts of all men. When you pray, my little ones, pray with your hearts. Do not recite your prayers, but feel each word in your hearts. Be consciously aware of God’s presence with you as He is always with His people, especially during prayer. My little children, you cannot have a strong bond between two people without talking, sharing, laughing, and crying together. It is the same way with our Lord. Bring to Him all things in prayer that He will bless you. May the peace of Christ be with you.
February 28, 1997
My dear daughter,
The Lord created the angels and they love Him dearly. Each of you has a special angel charged to care for you from the moment God breathed life into you. These angels are your spiritual companions who pray for you without ceasing. In giving each of you a guardian, the Lord has provided for your spiritual guidance. Thank the Lord for the help that His angels offer to you in your daily lives. So often they whisper to your hearts words of comfort or direction, always seeking to glorify God. My dear little children, love these special angels. Be glad that the Lord who loves you so dearly would provide such a companion for you. Pray that you may be united with all people and the heavenly court in singing praises and glory to God. May the peace of Christ be with you.
