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: My intention is always doing that which serves Him,
but many times doing a "good deed", one that seems a very worthwhile thing that
may produce great good, is not His will for us. And so you say "How can something
that seems to produce great good not be right?" It is not right for us if it is not
the Father's will. When disruption occurs in our lives and we lose our peace, something
must be changed. Sometimes patterns of behavior which we have held on to all our lives are
not patterns of behavior the Father wishes us to have. For example, we are to take care of
our bodies. Abuse of our bodies is a form of killing or at least it is forbidden by the
Fifth Commandment. It is a good thing to spend responsible time socializing with our
family and others. It is God's will that a husband spends time relating with his wife. It
is not God's will that he abuses himself with alcohol. If most of the time when he is
relating to others he has a drink in his hand which is leading him to over-consumption of
alcohol, his behavior must be changed if he wishes to do God's will. Many people spend
their lives living in moments at the end of the day when they indulge in bad behavior. The
message of February 17, 1994, addresses the
importance of the moments of our lives.
Jesus speaks: I have asked My messenger to relate this example
that I might build a case so that every moment of your lives will be spent in greater
service of God as you live always in the Father's will.
Messenger: A story: A mother was to take her child to school
everyday. About the time of the departure she would have an inspiration to do one last
thing for someone else because it was nice. Every day the child cried, "Mom, we will
be late". She was very tense inside trying to fit that one last thing in. This was a
habit she had employed her whole life that made every departure very tense, that caused
enormous pressure trying to beat the clock and usually the last act she performed for
another made little difference. It just put the whole family under pressure. When they
called out, "We are going to be late", she felt pressured and would become
irritated. One day the Lord gave her a grace. After praying and praying and seeing she was
very tense inside and ready to explode whenever there was a departure, by the grace of God
she realized that she was always doing one last thing for others, telling herself it was a
good thing and therefore she should do it.
Jesus speaks: Pressure is pressure. There are only so many hours
in a day. You in a million years cannot do what I can do. With five loaves of bread and
two fish I fed the multitude. You do not know My ways. I am God. I have all the power. You
depend too much on yourselves and not enough on Me. Felix was to carve the crucifix in
Florida, no one understood why his appendix gave him trouble when he was to carve the
crucifix. In My might, I act in the soul and the job is finished with My help which is
almighty and in My time. Do you understand?
I am God, you are human persons. Let your shoulders down.
You can come to My altars thinking you must study and know it all, or
you can come with pure and holy hearts and let Me work in your souls. In the batting of an
eye, I can reveal to you, the children, the most profound insights into the mysteries. You
measure, you plan, you think. You must work to surrender more to God. Pray the Prayer for Union with Jesus, consecrate your hearts, pray. Do not force yourself to
do something at the last moment that causes a chain reaction in others' lives. Satan is
the master of deceit. He works in pressure, he works in hunger, he works in fatigue. He
sees the opportunity to throw you off course.
In this Shepherds of Christ Movement and in your lives, you must work
for that purity of the moment, always consecrating
yourself to Our Hearts so that you will live more and more in the Father's will.
Many times before Mass, Satan will create havoc to drive the peace from
your heart and help to create division. An episode of choosing the wrong moment to do
something at 7:30 a.m. may throw you off so that you are pressured all day, your children
are under pressure all day, and you will miss Mass at 3:45 p.m.
Every action must be performed so that the person focuses on the
Father's will and service of Him.
Many times you do things to make yourselves feel better, to make
yourselves feel important. Or Satan places "a good act" in front of your eyes
which will set the whole day out of balance. You live in pressure all day because of your
wrong decision.
I will tend My flock, I will care for them. At Mass, you must realize
your sinfulness and participate as deeply as possible in Me as Chief-Priest and Victim.
You are My instruments. I am the One with the power. Do not become dependent on
yourselves, become dependent on Me as My instruments.
I am God. You must be docile, humble, little children. Work in
simplicity to serve your God. Beg God for peace, you are helping to bring peace to the
world.
You must strive to live in peace. Analyze your lives. Are you uptight,
do you scream out and lose control?
I was beaten, My Body lacerated, I bled, I was crowned with thorns and I
died on the cross, all in perfect peace. You will have a deep harmony in your heart, even
under the deepest pressure, when you look at yourselves honestly and are willing to
change. Many do not wish to change and they wrongfully keep doing the same thing. I am
peace. To know Me is to know joy even in deep suffering.
My shepherds will be willing to die to their imperfect ways, grow more
in the ways of perfected love, live in the Father's will, and depend on their God for all
their needs. Ultimately you will surrender. You are My instruments to help bring about
this reign of peace.
You must be willing to change your unproductive ways of behavior.
Q: How do I feel I am loving Jesus when I am loving you?
