I appear my children on this former bank building in Florida, Our Lady Clothed with the Sun.

January 8, 1999

At a funeral of a dear friend’s father

From Jesus after Communion: The young and the old all are subject to death, the man with the money, fame, fortune of any kind, cannot escape the final curtain.

It is the time when the Lord calls the soul.

My child, you are here for one purpose: it is to become more likened to God. I AM LOVE. You are here to learn to love God and others more.

My child, My Mother appears to tell the world about the death of My precious ones, the death of their souls.

My child, the emotion you feel is the intense sorrow I have allowed you to experience for the souls that will be lost forever to the fires of hell.

My child, I implore you to beg your world not to ignore My voice here. I speak in the priestly newsletter. It is the voice of the Good Shepherd I give to you here, calling My sheep home to My Heart. My priests need to be reached, so that they will plead and beg their God for grace when offering the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. They do not fully realize the gift God has given to them. If they do not realize, how can they teach My people? Through consecration their eyes will be opened and they will see that they are given the greatest gifts from their God. Holy priests deeply rooted in love of God celebrating the Mass with consecrated hearts will help the floodgates of heaven open and the world will know My might.

I am indeed here in your sorrow, My son Dan and My daughter Melanie, and all the family. I am with you in your sorrow. I comfort you with a great outpouring of My life.

I am Jesus, I am the Son of God. The very hairs of your head are numbered.

Let go, and realize you fume and fret in vain. I will never desert you.

The prayers of My holy ones will be answered. You must pray for priests, praying as one body, united in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, giving the greatest honor and glory to God and pleading for the sake of souls. Pray, My children, for the renewal of the Church and the world.

It is because of the fervent prayers of My holy ones that I have held back My hand from striking the earth with just punishment for the sins of men which have offended their God.

Listen to all the messages of the rosaries of January 3, and January 5, 1999; listen to the words of the Father. You must know I will hear your pleas for your world. Tell all to gather at 6:30 p.m. and pray as directed.

Tell all to pray the morning offering and feel the unity in your hearts in all your prayers.

I give you the Eucharist. If I took away the gifts I have given you, you would experience the awful effects. You do not know how ungrateful you truly are.

You have one another, you are connected in your hearts, the love of one precious soul is so dear to you. You must not take for granted this gift I have given to you in one another. You could part in your hearts and you would be sorrowful. I have molded your hearts together in My Heart through fervent and united prayer on the hours. You are a strong body.

The devil will do all he can to distract you so that you do not pray fervently. Lack of fervent prayer affects the whole body. If Joe Smith decides not to be connected and pray today, the entire body will suffer a loss.

From the connection you feel in your hearts to My Heart and My Mother’s Heart and one another, more and more souls will join into the body of being one in Our Hearts.

My child, think of the increased power the more all are one, united in the Church, joined in one mind and one heart in Our Hearts, praying fervently and offering the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass together.

My child, think of that union when all souls are one in their every breath, united in Our Hearts to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass through the morning offering.

My child, this connection is not present in their hearts. You must try to reach them.

I implore you, My precious souls, to help to reach the priests with the priestly newsletter I have given to you. I also implore you to help start prayer chapters all over the world to pray for the priests and the renewal of the Church and the world.

You do not know the importance of these prayers to your God. I desire that all will be one.


John 17:20-26

I pray not only for these
but also for those
who through their teaching
    will come to believe in me.
May they all be one,
just as, Father, you are in me
    and I am in you,
so that they also may be in us,
so that the world may believe
    it was you who sent me.
I have given them the glory
    you gave to me,
that they may be one as we are one.
With me in them and you in me,
may they be so perfected in unity
that the world will recognise
    that it was you who sent me
and that you have loved them
    as you have loved me.

Father,
I want those you have given me
to be with me where I am,
so that they may always see my glory
which you have given me
because you loved me
before the foundation of the world.
Father, Upright One,
the world has not known you,
but I have known you,
and these have known
that you have sent me.
I have made your name known to them
and will continue to make it known,
so that the love with which you loved me
    may be in them,
and so that I may be in them.


Jesus speaks: Yes, My child, death is the final curtain. What goes on beyond depends on how souls have lived, whether they loved and served their God and others.

When the day comes, My child, it comes unannounced. Man does not control the light of day nor the dark of night. He does not control his own breath. Man is not in charge. Man is a creature of the Creator. He must obey Him.

Say often. "I give my heart to Jesus and Mary with you in love." This will help you to live in love according to the Father’s will.

Messenger: The emotion I felt in the Mass was so deep. I wanted to plead from the depth of my soul for the sake of souls.

We unite in the Sacrifice to the Father, pleading to our God.

Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is our Chief Priest and Victim. We unite to Him. We become one in Him. This union is most powerful.

We must pray, for I see the Lady appear before me, her Heart pierced with a sword, begging us to reach her children. We must reach the priests so that they will plead in the depth of their souls with consecrated hearts as they offer the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.

Please help me. I see the souls. Soon it will all be over. Last week, I was involved in two accidents because of icy weather. We have no warning. In one second a person could be paralyzed or dead. Refer back to daily message about the accident.


Question for married couples and others in intimate relationships:

Q: How do you feel when we are united deeply in our hearts, but not together?
