My children, thank you for gathering here in prayer and thank you for heeding my call in your hearts.
My children, I know your hearts and your needs. I know you need miracles, which happen only through faith. Myriads of graces flow toward you like a stream, but I ask you: do not put up walls; let them reach you. The condition for receiving these graces is faith, hope, and love in your hearts, and belief in God’s mercy.
Remember that you have free will, so listen to your heart to understand which is the right path to take. I want your peace of mind.
Now I bless you, in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
Reflection on the message:
What would we say if someone offered us a bouquet of old, wilted flowers? That they would have been better off not giving it to us, because it offends us.
The same is true of most of our prayers, which go unheard because our spirit is oppressed and tainted by hypocrisy, hatred, and lust. These are the walls Our Lady speaks of.
We can deceive people but not God, who knows our hearts.
Our Lady asks for charity, yet we are full of hatred toward everyone and of selfishness. This is the first essential condition for being heard by Heaven: not to harbor in our hearts the hatred that kills love.
Our Lady asks for mercy: how can we present ourselves to Jesus, who is Mercy, when we are not merciful toward those who have wronged us?
Our Lady asks for faith and hope: we must cast aside the masks we wear; having faith means obeying God’s desires and will, yet in both great and small matters we disobey God.
Hope is desiring and awaiting eternal life from God as His gift of happiness, whereas we either despair, presume to save ourselves, or entrust ourselves to superstition and magic.
Finally, how often do we allow ourselves to be consumed by the excessive desires of the flesh, the mind, or the heart?
We prefer a putrid, stagnant fountain fed by Satan to that stream of graces, just for a brief earthly satisfaction.
It is our own actions that neutralize the work of Jesus, who can no longer perform miracles because of these opposing forces at work within us.
Let us use our free will well, Our Lady suggests, and only in this way will we be able to make the right choices—those that bring peace to the heart and leave no bitter aftertaste or veil of unease in the soul.
