“My beloved, you do not know what is coming. Pray very hard that your faith may not fail you. My child, lean not on your own strength but, in trust, cling to me. Then I will be your strength. Child, there is much to come and much will be demanded of you. Learn to listen for the promptings of the Spirit, for he longs to guide his faithful ones to a safe harbor. My child, place your trust in me and be at peace. Shalom.”

Sweet Jesus, beloved one of my heart, strengthen your faithful ones for the time of trial. Only in you are we strong; in you our strength is infinite. Holy Spirit teach us to hear you clearly and to obey promptly. Jesus I trust in you. Amen.

Zechariah 2:8 People will live in Jerusalem as though in open country, because of the multitude of men and beasts in her midst. 9 But I will be for her an encircling wall of fire, says the LORD, and I will be the glory in her midst.

“My child, I am gathering my children into my refuges. Do not be afraid, but go where I will show you. Those I am calling will have no doubt when they are called. However, they will still be able to deny themselves permission to listen to the voice. My child, it is better to listen, but there is no harm in discerning the voice with a holy priest. I will honor what he tells you. Those who trust in me and in my Mother, I will encircle with a shield of fire and I will be the glory in their midst. My child, believe and trust.”

Lord, I ask for very clear signs for all those you are calling. May we surrender to the Divine Will and may our Blessed Mother guide us firmly and surely. Open our ears to hear you , O Lord and open our hearts to listen and obey. Jesus I trust in you. Amen.

“Beloved, hear me well. There is no servant of mine who can lay claim to loving me if his actions do not bear witness to that love. Therefore, be of one mind and heart with him who first loved you. Count as nothing all you are asked to do and suffer for his sake. But in obedience and true holy love, take up your cross daily and follow him.”

Lord Jesus, I love and adore you. Here I am Lord, I come to do your will. Amen.

“My child, there is much preparation to be done – the mending of families and the call to obedience. The work of the Baptist is not yet complete. Work and pray in his spirit, my child, to prepare a people fit for the Lord.”

Heavenly Father I ask your blessing on families, that wholeness and holiness might reign in all families. May your kingdom come and your will be done by all and in all through Jesus in Mary. John the Baptist, pray for us. Amen.

“My child, if you listen to my Mother and do what I ask, what you offer will be transformed into something miraculous. Do only what you are instructed to do. Offer everything through the Church. Do not try to accomplish anything on your own but be completely docile to those I have placed over you. Be humble. Serve in love. This is how to please me and how I will work miracles through your little actions.”

Lord I am so weak and my efforts are so small and flawed. It will take a miracle to make anything out of what I offer. I give it all to you trusting in my beautiful Mother to make my offerings acceptable. Jesus in Mary I am yours! Amen.

“My beloved, your God is a God of order. That is why he has built structure into his church with Christ as head, keeping her from error. Then child, trust in this structure. Even though the persons may be flawed or even sinful, the structure remains. Obey those in leadership unless to do so would endanger your life or your soul. If you have to annihilate your will at times, count it as nothing, but offer your sacrifice of obedience for sinners, in whose ranks may perhaps be found those same leaders. Child, pray and be at peace.”  

Lord most holy, keep your church from error and her leaders holy, most especially her priests. Help all your children to embrace obedience, for you are holy and just. Obedience to church leaders is obedience to Christ. Grant us grace, O Lord. Amen.

“My child, I came to fulfill the law and it has been fulfilled in me. Therefore, all who follow me and keep my commandments also play a part in the fulfillment of the law. They who live in my will and do all I ask are especially blessed. They will be the brightest lights in the heavenly constellation. My child, learn to obey me in the smallest detail. Indeed it is the smallest details that often have the most importance. It is these little exercises that over time build the strongest muscles. That is how you move mountains my child—one stone at a time.”

Lord have mercy on me for the times I have failed in obedience. I enter into the wounded side of Christ, the fount of mercy, and there I take refuge like a small child in its mother’s arms. Here I am Lord, I come to do you will. Amen.

“My beloved, the Spirit will speak only to a heart that has learned obedience. The Spirit will not instruct one who is not disciplined in obedience in case that one rejects the Spirit and brings condemnation upon herself. The soul is first tested on the way of obedience. Then, finding the soul to be worthy of trust, the Spirit will guide and instruct the soul in all manner of things.”

Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit, well do you know how much I need to practice obedience. In your mercy, show me the path and grant me the grace to follow it. Amen.
