By "Anne," a Lay Apostle

Serving in Clarity: A Guide for Lay Apostles of Jesus Christ the Returning King is the latest writing by "Anne," a lay apostle. 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). In Part I of Serving in Clarity, the messages of Jesus describe the "new time" and the responsibility of the Lay Apostolate of Jesus in bringing forth this time through their generous service and docility to the extraordinary graces that Jesus makes available at the present time of human history. – Ed. October 31, 2006 Blessed Mother Dearest apostles, I am filled with hope as I see you serving. How heaven rejoices in this new band of faithful servants. Many of you have been called from the world and from worldly pursuits because we are asking that you serve in the world. Your experience of the world will help you to understand how best to communicate with others who live outside of heaven's goals. Please do not worry about the sins of your past. God forgives. If you confess these sins, Jesus forgives and sends healing graces. You will then be free of them. Understand that Jesus wants you to be free of your sins and it is His will that you accept the forgiveness that He makes available in this holy sacrament. Rejoice in this forgiveness and mercy and do not fret over your past. If you continue to fret over your past mistakes, the enemy can create a hold on you. Jesus died for your sins and He did this so that you could be free of them. Rejoice, dear little apostles. Jesus loves you and counts you as His friend. He will forget your mistakes. So must you. November 2, 2006 Blessed Mother God's little apostles are part of a heavenly team that does not pause. The team pushes God's message further and further into the world. The team supports each other and encourages each other. The team members point always to Jesus when their fellow apostles become discouraged or distracted. God's truth gives such joy and it is in reminding each other of God's truth that you will sustain each other. When a friend and fellow apostle is discouraged, you must remind God's servant that he works for the cause of the Returning King. There is only one truth and one King, after all. If you are called to this mission, you are called to serve completely. Give your heart to my Son and allow Him to use you to heaven's fullest advantage. Do not be distracted by those who doubt your commitment. Serve in steadiness, understanding that you have been given many experiences and graces to allow you to serve as God needs you to serve in this time. Do not be like the ones who accepted God's healing but failed to thank Him. Everything you have has been given to you by God. Use everything you have to help heaven to prepare the world for the return of my Son. November 3, 2006 Blessed Mother Can you think of yourselves as my little children? Try to do this. If you begin to think of yourselves as my little children, you will begin to understand that you have a heavenly mother who protects you. Also, I send all guidance to you. Perhaps you are fearful and apprehensive about the work the Lord is asking you to do. Dearest apostles, is it not natural to take any apprehensions to your mother? With me you will find reassurance and understanding. With me you will find new courage and determination. Truly, when I ask you to think of yourself as my little son or daughter, I speak the truth. You are my son. You are my daughter. I am your mother. I am also the mother of Jesus so we are all in the same family. I work only for the goals of my Son. You will never find that my guidance takes you away from the will of God. This would be impossible. As Jesus' mother, I look out for His objectives in every situation. As your mother, I will look out for your well-being in every situation, but also, I will look out for the well-being of God's plan. Allow me to help you as a mother helps and you will find a new confidence. November 11, 2006 Blessed Mother Little apostles, gather near me in your hearts. I work tirelessly to keep you, my faithful little children, together so that you can console and help each other. In this way, you are sustained and encouraged. You understand that heaven is with you. Heaven understands that it is good for you to have earthly fellowship also. Take care of these relationships with your fellow apostles. Treat each other gently as Jesus treated everyone He encountered on earth. Those around you will make mistakes and fall victim to their weaknesses. When this occurs, you must rejoice in the opportunity to show God's mercy to them. You must rejoice in the opportunities to be forgiving. You must bring any anger or hurt to me and I will help you with it so that you can grow from it, benefiting heaven from your offerings to Jesus in the face of your pain. If you do this, offer your hurts to heaven, we can send great blessings on you, on the fellow apostle who has hurt you, and indeed, on the whole mission throughout the world. This mission is fueled by littleness, by humility. Seek out humility and you will find it. You will then be gentle as Jesus is gentle. Keep humility close to you as your most trusted friend because in humility you will find a clear sightedness that allows you to keep God's goals in the first place of all of your service. Dearest apostles, little children, what joy there is for me to teach you about heaven and heavenly behavior. These words and graces are a great gift to your world and your reading of these words is a great gift to me, your heavenly mother.
