St. Anthony Mary Claret
Dear Family of Mary!
Well, we are back at home after attending the Totally Yours Conference in Rolling Meadows, Illinois. Thank you so very much for your prayers. It was a beautiful weekend, with many "divine appointments" and graces. I felt your prayers supporting me in a special way. Usually I am very, very nervous if I have to speak to a large group. Sometimes I cannot think straight at all, I am so nervous. But this time, I was so peaceful that I slept well the night before we spoke, and never had a nervous twinge! Thank you so much for praying for me.
On the contrary, Denis did not sleep either night, and he seemed to be carrying the burden for both of us. He did a great job, when he spoke, and true to form, used up a good deal of my 40 minutes as well! Ha! (We decided to do our talks together, like we do our daily Rosary, so we could fill in the blanks for each other!) But I was really happy he did, because what he shared was really good. So, our first speaking engagement in a very long time is over, and we pray that whatever God wanted to do through us has happened.
During my presentation, I prayed for a message and pulled one from my box of messages! It turned out to be the perfect message. As usual, the Holy Spirit is the best speech writer! The message:
"Dear children! Today on this great day which you have given to me, I desire to bless all of you and to say: these days while I am with you are days of grace. I desire to teach you and help you to walk the way of holiness. There are many people who do not desire to understand my messages and to accept with seriousness what I am saying. But you I therefore call and ask that by your lives and by your daily living you witness my presence. If you pray, God will help you to discover the true reason for my coming. Therefore, little children, pray and read the Sacred Scriptures so that through my coming you discover the message in Sacred Scripture for you. Thank you for having responded to my call."
(June 25, 1991 - 10th anniversary of the apparitions)
These days are days of grace. The Lord is pouring out his blessing upon the world, sending torrents of mercy upon all mankind, hoping to draw us all close to Him and to Heaven. These are days of grace, days of mercy. I pray that we can soak up as much grace as we can possibly receive, and that we pray it down upon all the souls we can possibly pray for, so that the Wedding Feast of Heaven will be filled to overflowing with God's children!
More on this message tomorrow...
In Jesus and Mary!

PS. Thanks to Guy Murphy and his Totally Yours team, for the warm welcome and hard work. And special thanks to Judy LeFevour, who manned our table all weekend! We also have a very special video testimony that we will be posting very soon. It made us cry!
