7th. March 1994. Saint Luke's.
Message from Our Lady about Family Life.
Our Lady was dressed in white and She looked beautiful. Rosary beads hung from Her right wrist. At the end of the vision I saw that Our Lady was holding a Miraculous Medal.
Our Lady said, "Dear little children - love God; love one another. Pray much. Pray that the Holy Spirit can enter your hearts and live in your hearts - guiding you in Wisdom and in Truth. Pray that the Peace of God's Holy Spirit can dwell in your hearts, filling your hearts with His Love and His Joy. And then, little children, the Love and the Joy, filling your hearts to overflowing, will overspill onto others; those around you, whose hearts are open, will be captivated by the Love and the Joy they see radiating from you.
Families - live united in God's Love. Love one another. Live harmonious lives, bonded together, one to the other, by God's Peace. It is essential that God lives in the heart of every family; thus will every family be preserved in the unity of Peace. God will take care of all your needs; remember - Love is fruitful, My children. Love is Faithful; Love is Strong .It is essential that every family lives in the Heart of God; thus will the family be safe - shielded from every persecution. Pray together - pray often. Pray to the Heavenly Father for all your needs - confident in His Providing for you. Pray, and you will be in no doubt of the strength of His Loving Arms around you. Pray in times of difficulties, and in times of sorrow - and He will uphold you.
Pray, and He will gather you to Himself in the Strength of His Love.
When a loved one is lost to you in death, pray, My little ones - pray and you will know that the bond which unites you can never be broken - it is the Eternal Bond of Love. Be consoled in the knowledge that your loved one 'lost' to you, is God's beloved child. Pray, and the Merciful God will wipe away all your tears with the Consolation of His Love, and your hearts will know peace. Assist with your prayers your loved ones journeying to the Eternal Bosom of the Father. Have courage in your hearts - all will be made well again in the re-union in Love. Death is but a temporary loss; it is of the Earth, where all things pass; Love alone is Eternal - death is no barrier to Love.
Pray for God's Blessing on your family; pray every day, "God, Our Father, Bless us; keep us protected in Your Love, strengthened by Your Graces, united in Your Peace."
Parents, love your children; children, love your parents. Be considerate towards one another; sensitive to the needs and feelings of one another. Husbands and wives - talk to one another; respect one another's feelings and needs; pray together. Set good example to your children in attitude, language, and behaviour, and instruct them in the teachings of your Faith, assuring them always of God's Love.
Children, respect your parents, and treat them kindly in sickness, infirmity, and old age. Avoid squabbles; where conflict arises, be quick to re-establish peace. Thus, your parents who love you, will look on you with joy in their hearts, and your Heavenly Father, Who loves you greater still, will look on you with even greater joy.
Parents - do not single out a child for particular attention - but love each one of your children individually, and equally, just as the Heavenly Father loves each one of His children as His special child. And encourage your children to work in unity, sharing in household duties when they are able to do so. Do not allow television to dominate your family life - give to it only the minimum of time - so much of what enters the homes through television is of little value to you, and, indeed, is often harmful to your thinking and behaviour, and, thus, to your eternal soul.
Children, much of this may seem difficult for you - perhaps as you consider the particular circumstances of your family life. But, I urge you, pray; pray to God, and pray through My Maternal Heart, and you will be given the graces to overcome the difficulties you have. Only make the effort, through prayerful co-operation with the graces you are receiving from God, and do not be discouraged in the seeming failures of your efforts. Fathers who love your children - do you not feel pleased at the efforts of your little ones to do what you request of them - even when their efforts fail? And so it is with your Heavenly Father; every effort made by His children to do His Will is most pleasing to Him. Therefore, do not harbour regrets over yesterdays' failings, or yesterdays' hurts; regretting yesterdays is useless; not one single day can be re-lived. All your yesterdays have passed through the Crucified Jesus and are with the Father Who Is All Mercy. Therefore, regard every new day as a treasure - a gift from God. Thank God for the new day. Do not fret over failings - only do your best.
Resolve feuds amongst relatives and neighbours. Live in tolerance of one another. Have patience in your hearts.
Love God, all My children. Respect one another in the world of your family, and in the larger world, which is the family of God. Respect one another's religious beliefs and live lives loving God, and your neighbour.
I Bless you, children, with the Peace of God."
I then saw Saint Theresa of the Child Jesus, and I share the first part of her message; the rest of the message is personal.
Saint Therese was looking very kindly at me. She wore her outer cloak over her dark habit.
Saint Theresa said, " I was raised to the Altar of Sainthood - I am known throughout the whole world - and yet I lived a hidden life in the Carmel. I am called " Patroness of the Missions" and I did not leave my Carmel."
