The Blessed Mother

I speak today to all priests and religious. You must re-examine your vocations. Look closely into your vocation and you will see the invitation that God extended to you to serve Him with the gift of your life. Now look closely at your life. Are you doing God's will? Or are you doing your own will? This is an important question, my child. Your salvation and crown in heaven depend upon the answer. Much is expected of you, yes. But not unfairly. You are given every grace and consideration to complete the missions We have entrusted to you. You must ask for these graces, it is true. But be assured, the graces you need are there for the asking. So please spend time today, and in the days to follow, examining your vocation and your life and make certain that one is guided by the other. I will help you. In fact, we will do this together, you and I. Spend time with me, your heavenly mother, and I will help you to understand if there is any area in your life that is not in keeping with the mission God has designed especially for you since the beginning of time. We will then make the necessary corrections, and I must tell you, little soul, consecrated to God, that you will be renewed. You will feel such a wash of joy and peace that you will begin to step with confidence and enthusiasm. Truly every holy duty will hold for you the greatest of consolations and unity to Christ will suffuse your soul. These are promises I am making to you. A mother never breaks her promise, my dear one. Be humble, in doing this. Do not think you must prove anything to me because I know everything. I cannot be fooled and if you are fooling yourself, I will help you to uncover that deception and toss away the cobwebs that have hidden your duty from you. Truly, we will seek out the truth together and together, we will find the truth and set matters right with you.

Do not be afraid of this process, my dear one, because if you let fear stop you, you will face this again, only perhaps not in such a sympathetic environment. A mother is all forgiving and obtains all manner of pardon for her repentant children. But even a mother cannot interfere with divine justice once it has been set in motion. So let us step with courage into the room of your vocation and make certain that all is where it should be.

Be joyful, dear soul of my heart, that I am working so lovingly with you at this time. All of heaven awaits your plea for help so do look up to heaven, and ask these holy predecessors of yours to assist us in this holy process. Your mother is with you and will come to you as soon as you ask me. Great graces, my dear ones, have been set aside for God's consecrated souls so let us not waste even one. I extend my heavenly hands over you now as I place peace in your heart and courage in your soul. Jesus is pleased with your effort to work with your mother in this holy project. Do not disappoint Him. He longs to be united completely with you so that He can save the souls of his children. Remember that you are destined for this work, so the work is for you. Do not be afraid. We will proceed together in this endeavor and soon you will marvel at the graces bestowed upon you. That is all. Your mother blesses you. Be at peace. I am with you.
