The Blessed Mother

Dear souls, I speak to you from motherly concern but also from motherly hope. I wish to direct you now to the great light that has been lit for you as a guide in this Age of Disobedience. My children, your questions will be answered. It is the usual practice that soldiers in a battlefield are not always privileged with the full strategic picture of the war being waged. Soldiers cannot worry about the full picture at times because they must concentrate on the specific campaign for which they are responsible. So do not be like curious children, who want all manner of information, even though it may not be to their benefit or it may not improve their performance. Be docile and humble. Trust that God has your best interests at heart and that through you, He protects the interests of the souls under your care. Be watchful, for any opportunity to serve. Encourage others to adapt this same attitude of alert helpfulness to heaven. Do you think God would be pleased with a job that is half done? It will disappoint Him and I promise you, if you disappoint Him, you will be grieved. Your heart will be sorrowful and there is nothing worse, my children, than regret and sadness over opportunities lost. I have said that, and you have understood. So we begin today.

God loves you right now, and God wishes you to concentrate on what you are to do for Him today. He has projects assigned for you that will rely on your special gifts. These gifts are to be used for the Coming of the Kingdom. You must not use these gifts for your personal gain but we do not begrudge you support if you are called on to support yourself . We have thought of everything and there is an answer for everything. If you have a situation that is unclear to you, and you wish heavenly guidance, you have only to ask. I urge you to bring divine counsel into every area of your life. As we sift through each area, we will weed out the earthly motivations and insert heavenly motivations. This process will move swiftly. The more committed you are to Christ, the more swiftly it can move. Afterwards, you will work so much more efficiently. You will be happier, more content, and souls will be attracted you because of your singular focus. My children, all earthly education and teachings pale in comparison to the infused knowledge with which we wish to visit you. So be confident that you will have the ability to do anything we ask of you. Do not fear. Fear is not from God and prevents many soldiers from successfully completing their missions. Cast away fear and let us enjoy peace instead. I am with you and bless you. I will never leave you and your concerns will be my concerns. Look to souls who are led by me and you will see the peace in their faces. This is what I have for you. Heed my call, now, children. The time for service is today.
