Excerpts from Joyful Mysteries, The Visitation

Jesus: My beloved ones, Satan is prowling this earth like a roaring lion looking for My beloved shepherds to devour. You are the shepherds that I am sending into the world to lead the stray ones to My Heart. He aims to stop you, to create confusion, doubt and division in your life, to make you feel fearful. I am giving to you My abundant grace that your hearts will be filled with immense love. You must not give into Satan, but you must be aware of his working in your life. He is near to you--the fallen angel wants to stop you. I am telling you that you will experience so much confusion, so much pressure in your life--but you must be calm, you must come to Me, you must move steadfastly ahead despite the distractions and trouble that you are feeling in your life. All through the day, you will be taunted and pressed on. You must spend time in private prayer with Me, preferably before the tabernacle. If you cannot come to the tabernacle, you must take time each day to come to Me that I can fill your hearts with My messages of My love. I will tell you what you need to know to face the troubles in your life. If you do not spend this time alone with Me each day, you will not be able to handle the pressure of the evil one that is pressing hard on you, My beloved ones. You will be distracted and you will lose your way. Time is of the utmost importance in your life each day. If you come to Me in the night, if you come to Me in the early morning, I will spend this time helping you to understand the problems in your life. Do not try to go through the day without coming to Me. You will experience the difficulties that will be impossible to handle. I am giving to you the grace of My love in this time that you come to Me to help you handle the difficulties in your life. You are My chosen shepherds, he will press on you, will make you want to run away--you must not give in. The more you are tempted and say you cannot take the pressure, the more he will press on you. You must realize his presence, that he is working on you all through the day, but know I am with you. Come to Me. You will receive grace when you go through these trials. You must know that this is happening in your life. You must not close your eyes to the workings of Satan for he aims to stop My beloved shepherds. It is in time spent alone with Me that you will withstand the trials in your life.

I am sending St. Michael to your aid. You must pray for the strength. You must pray all through the day to the Father, in the name of Jesus, in union with Jesus in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, in the Holy Spirit, with all the angels and saints, and the souls in purgatory, to the powerful intercession of Our Lady. You must pray, for you do not understand the power of a heartfelt prayer. It is through prayer that this Movement will move ahead across this earth. It is only in prayer, through Me, that My Movement will move ahead. You must not overestimate your power. Your power must come through Me. You must be entirely rooted in Me. You must become one in Me. Pray the Prayer for Union with Me. I am Jesus. I have spoken to you, My beloved apostles, for you will be pressed on but I am your strength for I am guarding you. You are precious to Me.

Satan will create division between you and the ones you love. You will have confusion, you will have doubt, you will have trouble, you will have misunderstandings. You must always remember how you love one another and operate according to My love.

He will divide you from the ones that you are closest to, the one that you must love, the one that will give you the strength to proceed ahead in this Movement. Do not give into his tauntings to divide you. He will trick you. You will not even understand how your heart has turned to negativism and to division. I am Jesus. You must pray for the grace to be able to withstand the tauntings of Satan.
