The Mass

Messenger: We are given the greatest gift in the Mass and we have not properly treasured it nor sufficiently thanked God. We do not fully know how great is this gift God gives to us.

For the rest of my life on earth, all I want to do is to proclaim His holy name and thank Him for this gift of the Mass and be united to it in the greatest depth, pleading and begging for help from our Divine Master and Maker for our world and our beloved Church.

I indeed treasure the gift of our priests and I feel that my heart needs to thank God, over and over and over again for this gift and our beloved Church. My heart sings to be a member of the body of Christ, His beloved Church. My heart wants only a deeper union with Him forever in heaven, to be possessed and possessed by the Almighty God.

I write to you as I have been instructed on this 19th day of April, 1999, for He has told me to express this emotion to you.

Jesus speaks: My children, come home to Me, I am waiting with My arms open, I want to caress you and lead you to the treasures of My Heart.

Messenger: My beloved, my Spouse, I long to be united to Thee, my beloved, the Bridegroom of my soul.

I long, I thirst to be with Thee, my beloved, the Bridegroom of My soul. I long for the Eucharist.

Jesus wishes the following rosaries to appear on the Internet today.
