Monthly message as given to Anne, a lay apostle
- Bishop of Kilmore Endorses Writings of "Anne" by Bishop Leo O'Reilly
"Anne" has received permission from her local ordinary, Bishop Leo O'Reilly, for the spreading of her messages, as well as his own personal endorsement below, that her writings are "orthodox." Anne has also submitted all her writings to the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. We encourage, (as the Church herself permits), the prayerful reading of these messages.
—Ed.
On the first of every month, Our Lord gives Anne a new message about His call to service.

Jesus
Dearest apostles, I thank you for your efforts for Me. Do you see the fruit of your labours? Perhaps not. Perhaps you continue serving, living out your commitments with no understanding of how I bless the world through your service. I hear your sighs. I am with you in your uncertainty. In humanity, there is always uncertainty. In humanity, there is always doubt. There also comes fear and each human will experience heaviness in his heart some day. None of these things should persuade you that you are serving in vain. None of these things should distract you from a zealous representation of the gospel message. You see, the message is so much bigger than each of you. And yet, each of you is necessary. The gospel truth pushes itself into a world that craves truth, even while it rejects truth. You, beloved apostle, are part of that push. You will feel the strain in your body and soul. You will feel the sacrifice. If you did not feel any such strain or sacrifice, there would be cause for concern because living and spreading the gospel is work. When you feel tired, remember that I also felt tired. Never separate your sufferings from My sufferings and you will be at peace, even as you carry your share of the cross for this time. I am with you, loving and sustaining you. I am ever watchful. When you need Me in a special way, you shall have Me, with every grace required. Do not be afraid of anything. Your Jesus will never abandon you.
