The Blessed Mother

My dear consecrated souls, it is with great joy that I speak to you today. Your mother has obtained great graces for you and these graces will help to guide you in your mission of love. Be assured of my constant guidance. I am watching you closely, alert to any sign that you need my motherly intervention.

Little ones, there is no room for error now in your presentation of God's Church. We seek to unify this Church in a way that is consistent with times past, as opposed to times present. My son, the Holy Father, has been the victim of all manner of disobedience and malice. He was prepared for that and has carried his cross with great kindness, humility, and forgiveness. Not all could have carried such a cross. But all will bear their share of my Son's Passion, if they are willing. And all will bear witness to the redemptive merit in the cross. By suffering you will save souls.

Who could say no to the suffering Christ? Gaze upon the innocent form of my beloved Son as He silently writhes in pain on His cross. He suffered without benefit of the heavenly vision. You will not be asked to do that, except on rare occasion. The heavenly vision is to be laid open for your gaze. Indeed, you will have no need to ask if Christ is calling you. You will know Christ is calling you. Truly, I say to you, beloved children of my heart, your Father in heaven sustains this world far longer than He would have, because of the Passion of His Son. The intercessory powers of Jesus have saved the world and now God is choosing the most benign form of cleansing. Thank Him for this mercy, which will save countless souls from perdition. Children, graces such as these are received due to many sources. Please know that some of your holy lives, lived with such beautiful abandon to God's will, have obtained many graces being used right now during this time of renewal. Praise God that you have been allowed to participate. There is no comparison to union with Christ and that is what you are about to experience, if you want it. You know that heaven does not coerce a soul. A soul is invited to holiness and then to a higher level of holiness again. Would you like to begin your ascent now with decision? You can move more swiftly than you can imagine if you will only decide for Christ with abandon. I am here little one. Truly it is I, your heavenly mother, who beckons to you now. Do not ignore this final call to holiness.
