If Downhearted, Come Quickly to the Sacred and Immaculate Hearts

If Downhearted, Come Quickly to the Sacred and Immaculate Hearts

By "Anne," a Lay Apostle

Saturday, 14 June 2008

The following presents the messages from Jesus to Anne regarding the value of suffering in His instructions to His Lay Apostles (Volume X: Jesus Speaks to His Apostles). The messages are both sublime and powerful, and we share them with you. Anne, a visionary from Ireland, has received permission from her local ordinary, Bishop Leo O'Reilly, for the distribution of messages which she receives from Jesus, God the Father, Our Blessed Mother, the angels and saints (see article, "Discernment of Lay Apostolate of Jesus Christ the Returning King," Marian Private Revelation section).– Ed. September 30, 2004 Jesus From now on, I will think of you as My apostles. As I prepared My original apostles to begin My beautiful church on earth, I now commission you to reclaim My beautiful church. You have such great heavenly assistance. When I speak of My Church, I am speaking of the body of the Church, comprised of its people. You are to call them back to the safety of the family of God. I send you out as I sent out the first group. You are to speak freely of Me. If a soul rejects Me, hold no malice for that soul. Simply pray for them and move along, seeking out another. Often you are like a farmer sowing seeds. I, Myself, must reap the harvest. This should not concern you because to insist on reaping what you have sown in this instance is not appropriate. Sometimes God is needed to ignite the Divine. Use My words, dear little apostles. Spread them everywhere. Keep your words limited and allow Me to claim the soul. You will soften the soul by loving the person. Your love and your example can predispose a soul so that I can find the opening I need. What joy is there in this work! How satisfying is a Rescue Mission when souls are saved. And they will be saved, do not fear. You will be successful but only I can measure your success. You are successful now are you not? You are following My will. You are working for the Kingdom. You are preparing to go out into the world on the greatest work of mercy ever known to your world. Children, dear apostles, there is great kinship between you. Support each other and encourage each other. Do not judge, but neither withhold heavenly obtained wisdom if a fellow apostle is in error. I am your guide. Ask Me if I want you to correct someone. All is well. We begin. October 1, 2004 Jesus My little apostles must climb steadily up the steep hill to heaven. By doing this, moving steadily, you bring many souls behind you. If you leave the path to examine this distraction or that earthly offering, you will lose souls. This is a time for sustained service. You have experience and your experience tells you that service to the Lord is not glamorous. On the contrary, service to Me is often quite dreary in appearance, when compared to what the children of the world are doing. While others amuse themselves, My servants are working. Well, dear ones, I do not want you to be downhearted, so at this time, I am going to give graces for My apostles to have the greatest joy in their service to Me. Remember that others must be drawn home to their family. To do that, We must make them see that the household of God is a good and joyful place to dwell. So in each day, in each little service to the Kingdom, you must accept My joy. If you begin to feel downhearted, you must come quickly to My Sacred Heart or to the Immaculate Heart of Our mother. We will replace your gloom with joy again so that others will be drawn. We are a family of happiness and peace. We are calm and confident. We know that God is good and that He is Our Father who will not let us perish. Why, dear apostles would we be sad? If you lose worldly possessions, understand that you have sent them here to heaven and you will collect them when you arrive. You will collect vastly greater things in heaven than you have given to Me on earth because I am all generosity. So let nothing grieve you. Nothing.
