Jesus speaks: Dear child, My ways I impart to you. You come, I direct you in the ways of the Lord. You must come and be ready for My work here. This is the most valuable job you have. Do not underestimate the importance of our meeting in the night.
I come to you. Listen and be taught for I am the Savior of this world. I come to you and you know that Jesus, the Lord, is with you. I am He Who calls you from your sleep. I am Jesus, Son of the Living God and I come to you, My child, every night.
Do you realize Whom you are dealing with? You do not know how truly lucky you are that I have chosen you to carry out My mission. Pray and be alone with Me to ready yourself for My letter.
Whatever you do to your brothers, you do to Me. Pray and be ready, for your time is at hand. I blow a mighty horn when I come. You know it is I Who send you to deliver such a message. Time is short and your redemption is at hand. Busy yourself with things of the spirit. Do not get caught in the things of the earth. Spend time with your children. Each day is approaching an end. Each day must be spent to the fullest doing My work.
Do not fume. Do not fret. Does He Who loves you with such intensity intend to leave you in such turmoil? Little one, I will never leave you. All you receive comes from Him Who loves you. You must develop trust now. Practice letting go of your doubts and problems. Practice letting yourself be absolutely absorbed in Me. I am so close to you that you needn't ever worry. Some people think it is their duty to worry. I say it does no good. I am in charge of all things. I know all things about you. It is out of love I allow things to happen.
It is in your trials that you are taught mighty lessons. Do you comprehend, My little one? You are a baby. Babies never question. They are too little and too dependent on their mothers. You must have this dependency on Me. Trust is developed by the act of your will. You will to turn everything over and put it in My hands. Turn it over. Lift it up and be about My work to you. Who, child, does this work? You need to do it or it is undone. Pray for faith, hope and charity in these tough days ahead. This I give to you, that you must beg for these virtues.
Ready your hearts for My coming. You should be about this task constantly. You need to be sowing the seeds I have given to you. To present anything but a picture of assuredness and trust in Me is to be moving away from Me.
I am here and I am strengthening you in your hearts for the days ahead. You must follow My lead in all you do. Worry is fruitless. Preparedness is your utmost concern. Concern yourself only with the things of God. Do not be led astray by anything that leads you from your focus.
Pray for your brothers constantly. It is as the unrest before the storm. There is an unsteady feeling, a nervousness as if one knows the storm is coming. This is how the world is now-it is as if you are waiting for a big explosion. You almost know the time, but no one has told you a thing. The unsteady air is telling you the message. Be ready. Be tuned into the events about to occur!
You must be tuned into trust in Me. Nothing else! Trust and Faith will be the lamp that lights your path. Your job now is not to know when, how or if, not to worry, not to fret, not to fume. Your job is to stay fixed to Me, to disregard the unsettling feeling and to take this time to become very close to Me, to use this opportunity to practice total Trust in your God, and to be about the things of God at every moment-attending Mass, receiving Holy Communion and praying before Me in adoration!
You are missing private prayer with your children. They will not come to you and say, "Let's pray the rosary, Mom." You must take time for your children. Your time alone with them now is strengthening them for the days ahead. You need time alone with them, and in private prayer. Teach them that this time is a top priority in your life. You need a united front in the family. The family that prays together, stays together. You can give them so much by demanding this time alone with them and praying as a family together.
You need to be ready for My coming. You need to pray with them. You must initiate the prayers. Your world has become very distracted with others because of Christmas. You need to quit talking to others and realize these are valuable demands that I am placing on you. You need this time with the children. They need time with God. Many will not pray without your leading the way. Talk to them about Me. They need your constant conversation about Jesus, Savior of this world!
You have a job to do and it isn't saving a mighty world. It is simple, but very important. God is always first in all you do. You need to attend daily Mass and go to Communion. You need adoration. Then you need time alone, praying and playing with the children. This is My prescription for all parents in these troubled times. Do not focus on things of the world-here today, gone tomorrow. All that I ask is for your everlasting life. Mass, Communion, adoration, prayer and time with your children. All other things you do leads to rewards in the world. They are of no account to Me. Nothing but the things of Me matters!
Ready yourself and your children for the things of God. The world preaches a false peace. You must trust Me and the message I am delivering here. I know all things. Place your trust in Me. Forget the world. It thinks that it will go on forever. You must tend to all the things of the soul. Do not go to the world for your being. See yourself as My beautiful one and recognize your need for Me at every moment. Do not question, ask, fume or fret. Just be about My work which is performing your daily duties towards Me. That is simple, you say ? It is not as simple as it sounds when the world is pulling you away from God and Satan is planting his distractions on your way. If he can keep you from prayer and time with your children, he has performed a mighty feat. I am telling you: guard against distractions that leave you no time for your little ones. They need this time as they need food and clothing. Do not underestimate this command I am giving you. Heed My words. They come from Him Who loves you and knows all things. Do not worry or be anxious. Just listen to what I tell you to do and then put all worry aside.
Child, I know all things and I know what is best. It is this simple: be about the things of Me. Forget all these other demands on your time. They are hollow in the end.
I am so close to you. Concentrate on Me as a person that is with you always. Talk to Me and focus on Me by your side, in your heart. I am surrounding you. Stay holy, little one, and do as you are told here. I know more than any person on this earth. Worry is useless. Prayer to Me is golden. It is the security you need to store for the days ahead. Forget money and treasures. Your only command is to store the things of God in your hearts and those of your children. Money, education, things-all those things you think you must have - will be useless in the end.
Harken to My word here. I am there with you and I will remain with you in all your trials. Practice trust in Me and teach it to all you meet. You are My light shining in a dark world. Your example is the way I teach. Don't go to the world for answers. Do as I say, child. Store up the things of God and don't worry-ever! I am this close to you. I will never leave your side, but you must pray constantly and be there with your children to pray and play with them.
I love you. I am He Who came and died for you out of love of you. I give you this message with the same love. Let your hearts be not troubled for the Lord is by your side. Alleluia. Alleluia.
