Mary:
My dear little ones, praise God always and forever! Know that He Who is grand, He Who is mighty, He Who is all things, is with you. Praise Him and thank Him, for He has sent me to speak with you that you might know that He hears and answers your prayers, that you might know He works in your lives, and that He is alive in your hearts. My dear little ones, truly, it is good to be with you in this way. Know that I come to you as your mother with love in my heart for each of my children, all of those whom the Lord has permitted me to mother, for from His cross He gave to me all of mankind, that I should not only bear the Son of God, Word Incarnate, but that I should mother, counsel, advise, teach, and intercede on behalf of all of the world.
My dear ones, there is much sickness in this world. Many people, they are sick with loneliness, they are sick with depression, they are ill from a lack of knowledge of the love of God. They are diseased by the corruption, by the materialism, by all those things which your society embraces that are not of God. Even in your own country that professes, ‘In God We Trust’, God is removed from your homes and your schools. He is taken from your government. He is taken from the people. These things I need not speak to you, for you know this to be true, for all time since Clement and Peter walked upon the earth, my little ones have known persecution.
My dear ones, I come today, not to remind you of all that is ill in the world, but to encourage you, truly to teach you, how to make the world bright and anew, shining for God, that He might look upon the world with joy and pleased eyes. My dear ones, you have been commissioned, truly commissioned, as the very first apostles who walked with Christ. From those twelve, He sent them out, that all of the churches of all of the world, from place to place, all of the peoples, might be converted to my Son, converted to our Lord, that all of these peoples might know that God is with them. He was called, “Emmanuel,” when He came, that those who followed Him would know that God was with them. My dearest little ones, it is the same in this day, when evil and corruption have become the way of the world.
My dearest ones, go as those apostles commissioned by Christ! Go to all corners of the world and teach. Spread the news of Christ’s love. A daunting task this seems, and when you read in your Scriptures about the travels and trials that the first founders of the Church encountered, oftentimes their difficulties are overlooked, and their accomplishments are recorded. At times, it must seem so difficult, and a task so unsuitable for a people who truly are faulted, but I tell you that those who founded your church, the Church of God, were just as you are. You have known this to be true. You have known through their messages brought to you through the mercies and love of God, that they were as you are, with their faults, with their weaknesses. They were as you are, with families to tend to, careers, work. They too needed a shelter, clothing, food in their stomachs. They were as you are- human, erred- but with God’s grace, made into a great, great thing.
And so, I tell you, you have been commissioned, and each of you, each one of you, in your own way has much to give. Whether a priest or a teacher, a healer or keeper of peace, whether a mother or spouse, a friend or sister, you have much to give. My children are hurting. A mother’s heart cries out for your help. My little ones, they are so in need. I do pray that you will go and that you will be as the first disciples, that you will tend to their needs, that you will go among those who are hurting, and bring the healing love of Christ. It is not a daunting task, and it is not difficult with the love of God as your strength and your courage. Pray, each day, that the Holy Spirit might work within you and inspire you, each day, in little ways, to bring Christ to the world.
God does not wish for His children to live in darkness. He desires that they know the light of His love, faith, and joy. In all that you do, in every task, in every moment, bring Christ into the world through your example, through your words, through your actions. Let all who know you, know that you are a follower of Christ. Let them know that, truly, the Lord is your Master, by who you are. There are many of my children who would say that they wish to follow. There are many of my children who would like to change the way of the world, but few who would take up the cause of God, who would truly devote themselves to bringing about a revolution of love. This is what I wish for. This is my prayer, that my little ones who I have come to, who I have spoken to, who I have brought messages of hope and encouragement to throughout the world, would go out as lambs among wolves, would go out as the first apostles of my Son did, and teach and spread the good news that God is alive, that God is with them.
My dear little ones, know that I am with you in this. Know that I do pray and intercede on your behalf each day in all things. Know that God is most pleased with you. He sends His Holy Spirit down upon you, that you might be strengthened, that you might know His will, and that you might have the courage and judgement to complete that which He asks of you. Do not strive to do big things, for our God speaks in silence, and He is humble and small among that which is great and built to be mighty in this world. Oftentimes, God cannot be seen in that which is grand, but most in that which is small, those things most overlooked, those words unheard, the silence that is often ignored. Seek His wisdom in the silence of your hearts. Pray that in a small way, each day you might be carriers of His will, you might truly serve Him in all that you do, and you might be blessed, continually blessed, to be called His children and in His favor.
My dear ones, it is with the love of a mother that I do say, may the peace of Christ be with you always, and may you know the joy and faith of God Who, with you, creature and Creator, loved and beloved, truly knows you and wishes to be part of your lives. Continue, my little ones, with love in your heart. Strive always to do what God asks of you, and know that I do pray with you and for you always.
Be at peace as I bless you in the name of He Who is mighty, in the name of the Son our Savior, and the Holy Spirit, Who dwells in the silence of your hearts.
