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. |

Jesus speaks: My child, a vast number of people have not been trained to turn to God with their problems. They do not realize He answers heartfelt prayer. My Mother is teaching her children how to pray in these daily messages. I am telling you how to pray. Men do not understand My might. Many think they are in control.
Priests must tell the people to pray and tell them how. Many do not truly believe in the power of prayer. They need to get deeply in their hearts and beg.
Many times when one is backed up against a wall and there is nowhere else to turn, the person then turns to prayer because nothing else is left. You must turn to prayer always. You are to live connected to God for all your needs. You are to live united to the Almighty God in your heart. You are always to live to please the Father, asking Him to give you all you need to so act. Have you asked, or does a rushed thought of God race through your mind and you think that is a prayer for help? You must converse deeply in your heart and soul with God. Strive to act connected to Him. You act as He acts in you. See how far your world has wandered, so many think of God sometimes only once a week. You are the teachers. These messages given from heaven are teachings to teach men how it is supposed to be in the Father's plan. You must circulate them by any means possible.
I wish tabernacle accessibility. People are taught to turn to everything else, but Me. It should be preached from the pulpit that Jesus is truly present in the tabernacle, that He wants to be loved, adored, worshipped, and honored. When you have a problem in the family, in your life, go to the tabernacle, go to Jesus for help. There should be availability of the Blessed Sacrament so people can come to be with Jesus. There should be centers of Eucharistic Adoration, separate from the church, so people can come twenty-four hours a day. The power is in the Eucharist. I am God. Please tell My people that I am truly present. Please make available centers for Eucharistic Adoration. Please expose the Eucharist in churches and come and adore and worship Me, especially on Sunday. Sunday is like a free day for many. The churches are locked, and after morning Mass many never have a thought about God all day. They do not even join in a prayer before meals. What do you think keeping holy the Sabbath Day means? It should be a day when the family is most connected to God, singing hymns of worship and being united in love to God and one another. At the end of this message I wish you to include the message of January 17, 1994, "I Want My Priests to Come Back". Also include the Prayer for Union with Jesus given that same day.
Urgent: For the core members of the Movement, I wish all messages to be faxed in their entirety as they appear on the Internet. I do not wish edited versions used. I wish messages to be faxed as they appear on the Internet to those for whom I have requested daily delivery.
Messenger: A message from Jesus concerning intimate relationships outside of marriage.
Jesus speaks: There are two ways which the devil will use to divide parties engaging in intimate relationships. One way is by trying to divide them through arguing, another is by trying to lead them into relationships in which the persons are so close to one another that they sin. Both ways hurt the relationship and the parties. Relationships are to help persons become more loving toward God and all others. Relationships should always be loving and always respecting one another as children of God. Relationships must honor basic physical bounds that are set by God for unmarried partners. The devil uses passions to drive partners into sin. Eve ate the forbidden fruit, she did her own will and not God's will. You are not permitted to eat the forbidden fruit. I give you the Commandments to live by. The devil tempts you to sin. Sexual intercourse and acts which are in preparation for sexual intercourse when engaged in outside of marriage are forbidden. The devil will use passion in a relationship to try to help to change a holy relationship to one that is seriously sinful. Please include the message of February 5, 1994, about love from Blue Book II (this Blue Book message is located at the end of this message).
Everyday I will give you a question for those in marriage and other intimate relationships. You should write exactly ten minutes. You should exchange writings and read the writing two times. Discuss your feelings with one another for ten minutes. The question must appear at the very end of the entire daily message.
These daily questions are for those wishing to exchange feeling letters. Do not try to force or coax unwilling partners, this will cause greater division. Both parties must be willing and want to engage in this mutual exchange.
Q: How do you feel our relationship has helped us grow closer in our relationship with God?
January 17, 1994 3:40 a.m.
Jesus: You know I am He Who lifts you up. In one second I can turn your feelings around and lift you up. Constantly pray to Me. You need Me through these times. Remember, I truly died for you on the cross. Remember, little one, I have chosen you to write to Me. Do you think I will ever abandon you? I am a God who truly loves His people. I love you with such ardent love. You must never doubt.
Look into My face and see My gentleness. I am the kindest of all hearts. I am He who knows how to love with such love. Become totally lost in My arms.
Do you think Satan will not taunt you? Put him behind you. You are being guarded by God and His heavenly court. Walk in My ways and the angels walk with you on your path. You are escorted on your way and you are never alone. You are guarded as a precious treasure that is being transported to another place.
You need to put all your cares in My hands. You are developing true trust when you let go and let Me take over. Keep trusting and silence the ugly prompting of Satan who wants you to worry about useless things. Quit worrying and pray and play with your children. I am telling you there is so much peace and grace gained by private prayer with them. I will tend to all the details of your life. Do not worry for one moment. Put your life in My hands. I am here, little one. Read this message and all of them over and over again.
You need to go to the Blue Book for your answers. Your answers are found there. I never leave your side. God is guarding you. Just continue to have a union with Me all through the day. All the prayer time alone with Me in one day is not enough. I want you in constant prayer.
Turn to Me and My Blue Book. This will help many priests to come back and sit before Me in private union with Me. When priests come back to the tabernacle, the flock will begin to be led back to His altar. Priests need to read these letters. They are the preachers. If they do not value their own relationship with Jesus, if they are being led away from Me with busyness, they will not preach the intimate love of Jesus. They are so busy, but it is like throwing out the baby with the bath water. I am the center and their relationship with Me is utmost.
The priests need these messages. They need to have an intimate, close union with Me. They should be preaching "time in front of the tabernacle." They should be preaching My intense love for My people and how I have so much to give. Some sermons are so complicated--yet nothing about union with Me in the Eucharist and in front of the tabernacle.
I want My priests to come back and pray before My tabernacle. I want them to read these messages and make Jesus the Center of their lives. When they are led back to Jesus, they will lead the flock home. Priests need adoration every day for at least an hour. I don't care how busy they are. None of it matters if they are not spending time in private prayer alone with Me. They need to come and get their supplies. They need to quit thinking they are doing it and turn back to turning their lives totally over to Me, to totally letting their burdens and busy lives off at the foot of My cross and letting Me lead the way.
There is not one priest who has so much to do that he cannot do private adoration daily. When the priest comes back to the power in the Eucharist and the tabernacle, the congregation will turn to God for their troubled hearts. Satan has led priests away from Jesus. They are so busy they cannot do all their work, but this must all take second place to praying silently before God and reading His words. These letters will help many priests to come back and be intimate with Jesus.
All the rituals, all the upkeep of the churches, all the little details, and the King of Glory sits alone! You have thrown out the baby with the bath water. You are missing the boat.
I want the priests to read this message. Where is the reverence after Communion and who has even heard it mentioned in the church? Private union with Jesus! What an honor! I have all you need. Come to Me and I will give you rest. I am all powerful. I have all the power. I am hyper--vigilant over your lives. I guard you. Quit trying to do it yourselves. Become selfless and let Me possess your souls.
Have the priests spread these messages. Read them in church. I want adoration of the Eucharist back. I want people to know I am God and I am coming to them in Holy Communion. I want the Blessed Sacrament exposed. I want My churches open. Union with Jesus, the love of Jesus, trust, faith, love for one another, love of God--I want all of these preached from the pulpit!
I am the Alpha and the Omega. I want My people to be led back to the center, which is Jesus. Pray for your priests. They are under attack. If Satan can wreck the family, the priests, the children, he has it made.
You are under attack, My beloved priests, and you, in your busyness, are being led away from your union with Jesus. Bring yourselves back to Me and let Me give you My love. I am indeed the bridegroom of your souls. I wait for My beloved ones at the altar. I long for private union with all My beloved ones.
Come to Me, all who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest. Come and be lifted up to heights you never dreamed possible. I am God. Put your lives in My hands. Let Me run your life. Quit running amok. You have lost your way and are running down the wrong road. Bring your lives back to Jesus in the tabernacle.
The world is getting farther from God every minute. Read the messages at prayer meetings. Spread them by word of mouth. The time you waste is valuable. These words are not meant to be saved. Spread them here by any means possible. I want them out, I tell you! If someone wants to read some messages, give them to them and let them read them at prayer meetings. There is no secret here. They are from Me and I want them out. I want you to speak. A lot of your discontent is in sitting around with all these messages and not spreading them. Tell your friends to speak. Speak My words here. You don't have to mention the source. Spread the messages. You are not what is important. The messages are. You will be exposed. Don't worry who knows, but don't spread your own story. Spread the messages. Like ripples on a pond, the love of God will be spread throughout the land. I have so much to give to My hurting ones. I am your God. I died for you out of deepest love. I have come in these messages to lead you back home.
Quit worrying of details. I am He Who runs the show. Pray for guidance every day. Spend one hour in front of the tabernacle. You cannot do in a million years what I can do in one moment. Quit relying on yourselves. You are only pushing buttons. When you are fixed in Me, the right door opens. When you go it alone, you have a hard road to walk. One hour in private adoration. Be silent or read the Blue Book. Your life will become uplifted by My teaching and you will sail a blue sky.
Spend time in silence and some in reading My words in front of Me. I am talking to you in these letters. What power, to read them in front of the tabernacle! You can't go it alone. You need My help. You need your supplies. But you must come and get them! You are following your tail around if you do it alone. I am He Who can do all this. When you realize My power in adoration, your lives will change. As long as you are too busy you will have a hard time. The soul craves this union with Me.
Lead the priests back to adoration and the people will follow. Our leaders have become too busy for adoration. This is the key, the key to unlock the doors to the world's problems. It is found in front of the tabernacle, at daily Mass and Communion. Do the priests ever preach any of this? You have forgotten your center, Jesus, in the Eucharist! All the power is found in Jesus. You have all that you need and you walk about and decorate My churches and clean every speck of dust and repair My pews and carpet My house and fix My organs but you walk about and miss the King of Glory who sits there all alone! Spread the messages on the tabernacle. I want them out!
Come to me, Lord, and possess my soul. Come into my heart and permeate my soul. Help me to sit in silence with You and let You work in my heart.
I am Yours to possess. I am Yours to use. I want to be selfless and only exist in You. Help me to spoon out all that is me and be an empty vessel ready to be filled by You. Help me to die to myself and live only for You. Use me as You will. Let me never draw my attention back to myself. I only want to operate as You do, dwelling in me.
I am Yours, Lord. I want to have my life in You. I want to do the will of The Father. Give me the strength to put aside the world and let You operate my very being. Help me to act as You desire. Strengthen me against the distractions of the devil to take me from Your work.
When I worry, I have taken my focus off of You and placed it on myself. Help me not to give in to the promptings of others to change what in my heart You are making very clear to me. I worship You, I adore You and I love You. Come and dwell in me now.
February 5, 1994
Messenger: Love is not selfish. It does not demand its own way. It lives for the good of the other.
Love is from God. Love has its source in God. If love in any way separates the two people from God, it is not love. If I love God and know His love, I can give His love to you.
Love comes from a place of strength. It has its origin in God. It is rooted in Him and is a natural expression of one's self because of the person's union with Him. Love is giving. Love is never selfish and demanding.
If I need you to love me, then I am asking you to feed the appetite in my soul. Only God can feed the soul. If you love me, I am very grateful to God for your love, but I do not need it. I am okay if you stop loving me. I may feel sorrow and pain, but I am okay because all love that feeds me comes from God and He never withdraws His love.
Jesus speaks: "Oh," you say, "this is the ideal." "No," I say, "this is love." Love rooted in Me gives. To My death on the cross I gave My love for you. I never demanded you give Me anything. You have a free will. Love is not force. I gave you the commandments to live by. Love God, love one another. You can choose to disregard the commands and love no man. Love does not demand its way. I give to you My love freely. You can accept My love or reject it. You were created with the purpose to know, love and serve God. If you follow other roads, your heart withers and dies. You have a free will to love or not to love, but, if you do not, you are going against the very reason for your being. To live in harmony with yourself and your soul you must love God and your brothers. If you do not love God first, and your brothers, you live a life of discord.
I make all things happen for him who loves and serves the Lord. I am He Who has all the power. I am the Master. You are My beautiful children. You I loved and still love this very day. I give freely My love to you. I wait in the tabernacle for you like an ardent lover. I loved you to My death. I give Myself to you in Communion. Do you know that I, God, give Myself, Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity, to you.
Meditate on My Passion. I am waiting for your love. I love you so much. I long for your love. I want to be with you. You are keeping us apart. You are the reason we are not sharing this intense love. I am always available. Where are you? What could be more important than your time spent alone with God. Seek Me and this union and you will have all you need.
I am Jesus. I am your love. I come to you with such love. Come, My beautiful ones, come and give Me your love.
You stay away and I lament your absence. I loved you to My death. I am the source of love. Come to Me and be filled.
