Mary has requested that the daily message be given each day to the world. It is read nightly at the prayer service from her Image Building in Clearwater, Florida, U.S.A. This is according to her request. All attempts will be made to publish this daily message to the world at 11 p.m. Eastern time, U.S.A.We acknowledge that the final authority regarding these messages
rests with the Holy See of Rome. |

Messenger: It is most difficult to stand up for what we know is right. Many times in people's lives they will bend the desires they feel deep in their hearts because others have come to them with another plan. They present the alternate plan with enthusiasm and the person changes what he feels in his heart. There is a center of truth within us. We must hold tight to the Commandments and God's word. Our Lord asks us to read the accounts of Exodus in the Bible, chapters 5-14. Our Lord asks us to review Genesis chapter 3 and chapter 6-9. Our Lord wishes us to read Revelation, all chapters.
We must instruct our children in the truth even when it is most difficult. There is a fine line between being silent and taking problems to prayer and speaking when it is most necessary.
Children in the eighth grade must be told about sex and passion from the parents. Children do not wish to be told anything at this age, but parents are responsible to God for teaching their children. It is the words spoken many times that will help the child to stay away from places and predicaments that may lead them to sin. It is not good for parents to nag children, in love a parent will teach them the essentials about sex and passion before it is too late.
Children must be told that they are not to place themselves in the near occasion of sin. It is so sad when young adults ruin their virginity in finding out how easy it is to be carried away by passions. Many "good girls" and "good boys" have been led into mortal sin because of lack of teaching on the part of the parent. Every child should be told at least once of the dangers of putting oneselves in the occasion of sin. Every child should be taught that sex outside of marriage is not permitted. It is most difficult for the young to be celibate when the television and the newspaper teach youth that sex outside of marriage is being smart, that every one "does it".
Mary speaks: I write this message to you today as your heavenly Mother. My children, peace is not ridding yourselves of problems, peace is found in knowing God alive in your hearts. Around you, you may be surrounded by the roughest sea. To His death on the cross my Son loved the world so much and remained in perfect peace. Peace is found in truth. As the Spirit moves in the Church and the world in the hearts of men consecrated to Our Hearts, they will live more and more according to the will of the Father.
John 14:15-30
If you love me
you will keep my commandments.
I shall ask the Father,
and he will give you another Paraclete
to be with you for ever,
the Spirit of truth
whom the world can never accept
since it neither sees nor knows him;
but you know him,
because he is with you, he is in you.
I shall not leave you orphans;
I shall come to you.
In a short time
the world will no longer see me;
but you will see that I live
and you also will live.
On that day
you will know that I am in my Father
and you in me and I in you.
Whoever holds to my commandments
and keeps them
is the one who loves me;
and whoever loves me
will be loved by my Father,
and I shall love him
and reveal myself to him.'Judas--not Judas Iscariot--said to him, 'Lord what has happened, that you intend to show yourself to us and not to the world? Jesus replied:
Anyone who loves me will keep my word,
and my Father will love him,
and we shall come to him
and make a home in him.
Anyone who does not love me
does not keep my words.
And the word that you hear
is not my own:
it is the word of the Father who sent me.
I have said these things to you
while still with you;
but the Paraclete, the Holy Spirit,
whom the Father will send in my name,
will teach you everything
and remind you of all I have said to you.
Peace I bequeath to you,
my own peace I give you,
a peace which the world cannot give,
this is my gift to you.
Do not let your hearts be troubled
or afraid.
You heard me say:
I am going away and shall return.
If you loved me you would be glad
that I am going to the Father,
for the Father is greater than I.
I have told you this now,
before it happens,
so that when it does happen
you may believe.
I shall not talk to you much longer,
because the prince of this world
is on his way.
He has no power over me,
