My Children, Wake up

Dear son, peace be with you; convey this message to my chosen children, religious [those with religious vocations] and seminarians.

My children, listen to the voice of your mother.

My children, you who have been called in a special way, you who have left the world, you who have begun a path of consecration. You who have been chosen to serve my Son Jesus more closely, I speak to you with love, but also out of responsibility.

My children, your calling is an immense grace, but it is also a demanding mission. You were not called to be like the world, but to be living signs of God. And yet, how many of you are in danger?

How many began fervently, but are growing cold?

How many used to pray from the heart and today pray out of obligation?

How many used to listen to the voice of God and today are distracted?

My children, wake up.

The enemy does not always attack you with great things, but with little distractions, little concessions, little [acts of] unfaithfulness. And little by little the soul turns away from its first love. Go back to the beginning, my children. Remember the day when you said ‘yes.’ Do you remember the joy? Do you remember the ardor? Do not let that flame go out.

Chosen children, be faithful in what is simple, in daily prayer, in inner silence, in obedience, in community life and in purity of heart.

My children, it is in the small things that holiness is built.

Without prayer you will not persevere, without silence you will not hear God’s voice. Without faithfulness you will not reach the end. My children, the consecrated life is not an easy path. There will be trials, there will be inner struggles, there will be moments of aridity.

Do not flee. The cross is part of your calling. If you truly wish to follow my Son, you must learn to love sacrifice. It is on the cross that the soul is purified. It is on the cross that vocation is strengthened.

My children, if you do not take care of your spiritual life, you will be in great danger. You cannot continue outwardly while being inwardly empty. You may remain on the path, but with a distant heart, and this deeply wounds the Heart of my Son.

Do not live a vocation of appearances. Be true. When you are tired, when you feel weak, when doubt comes, do not be discouraged. Come to my heart. I will welcome you. I will strengthen you. I will lead you to my Son Jesus.

My children, you are hope for the world, but you will only be light if you remain in God.

Chosen children, do not waste the grace of your vocation.

Guard your calling with love, live faithfully, persevere to the end, and I, as your mother, will walk with you. I am the Mystical Rose.

I cover you with my mantle and lead you to the Heart of my Son Jesus.

With love I bless you.
