October 11, 2010 Dear Family of Mary!"Dear children; Today I call you to a humble, my children, humble devotion. Your hearts need to be just. May your crosses be your means in the battle against the sins of the present time. May your weapon be patience and boundless love - a love that knows to wait and which will make you capable of recognizing God's signs - that your life, by humble love, may show the truth to all those who seek it in the darkness of lies. My children, my apostles, help me to open the paths to my Son. Once again I call you to pray for your shepherds. Alongside them, I will triumph. Thank you." (October 2, 2010) "A love that knows to wait." Lord I do not understand. What is this love that knows to wait? My child. Do you remember the Song of Songs, that beautiful poem that tells of the relationship between your soul and Me?Yes, Lord. I have read it many times. It has always been a puzzle for me. Don't let it puzzle you. It is a song of love. Your soul understands it. It describes the longing you have for Me, deep within. Your love for Me, your desire for Me is represented in those verses. Do you recognize the yearning? Yes, I do Lord. To yearn for You is painful. You are still too great and too far away for me.Well, the yearning and desire in those verses is "the love that knows to wait". It is the love that will not die. It will not give up. It will not be transferred to something less. "The love that knows to wait" described in the Song of Songs is your love for Me. Do not fear the pain of it, for the yearning will bear much fruit. As your Mother teaches you, the love that knows to wait is the love that prepares you for My coming. She had such a love and it drew me down to her very being where I became Man. She has "the love that knows to wait", and she wants you to recognize it deep within you as well. This love will draw Me down to You, just as it did for My Mother. I very much want that, Lord. It would seem you have given every human being that same desire, though many do not understand it yet.Yes, I have built you all for love. That is your call. "The love that knows to wait" helps you to open up to My coming and makes you ready for Me. Those who can wait in love will become incredible signs of love for their brothers and sisters! "The love that knows to wait" is faithful love. It wins mighty victories of grace. The greatest victory of grace was my Incarnation, due in part to "the love that knew to wait" in My Mother! Lord, may your people all discover "the love that knows to wait" deep within."Set me as a seal upon your heart,
As a seal upon your arm;
For love is strong as death,
Jealousy is cruel as the grave.
Its flashes are flashes of fire,
A most vehement flame.
Many waters cannot quench love,
Neither can floods drown it.
If a man offered for love
All the wealth of his house,
It would be utterly scorned." (Song of Songs 8:6-7) "I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem,
That you stir not up nor awaken love until it please." (v. 4) In Jesus and Mary!
