I appear my children on this former bank building in Florida, Our Lady Clothed with the Sun.

January 29, 1999

Messenger: Moses: freedom for all the people resulted from his mother giving the child Moses away and trusting in God.

Abraham: freedom was in giving his son to the Lord and trusting in Him - He was free of attachment.

Presentation in the temple: Mary goes to give Jesus to the Father. Simeon speaks about the sword in reference to Mary. Mary gives the Son to the Lord.

I am the mother, I held the child in my arms, the baby I bore. I give him to the arms of Mary and give him to the Father. I cannot control his life. Every time I take him to Mass - I give my child to God.

A baby in the arms, a child given to the Lord.

I bring my child to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.

Freedom is in doing the Father's will.

Children must be taught to freely choose the Father's will.

It is our job to teach them about the Father's will. It is the key to peace in our lives.

Mary knew at the age of 14 or so about the Father's will.

Abraham chose God's will.

Moses' mother knew God's will.

Today, many people are held captive. Freedom is found in doing the Father's will.

Do you hear the cries of Mary's children? Mary sees many of them falling into hell.

Mary speaks:  My children,when you dwell in my Heart, you live in purity. It is that purity of desire that you seek, to choose the Father's will.

Do you hear the cries of the young ones? I cry out, "Let my people go". Many are held captive in the snare of the devil. Freedom is in doing the Father's will.

I make reference to the message of Ascension Thursday, 1998, "Come out of your tombs". Between Ascension Thursday and Pentecost, my Son's messenger was given a vision of an open door, golden inside, and a little sheep hobbled over the threshold. That which surrounded the door was black and the glistening reflective light of the vision of March 26, 1996, poured out from within. On Pentecost the vision was received of the dirt and the balcony, the choosing of cards, black and white. The choice is up to you to pick the black berries or the ones which are marked with "life" on them. Doing the Father's will is picking the white berries, the ones marked "life" on them.

You must surrender to the Lord. He wants that which is most dear, your will freely given.

In giving yourselves to Our Hearts, you dwell in the Hearts of pure love. My Heart is the only Heart conceived without sin. All human persons except me have suffered from the fallen human nature. It is reality to embrace this fact. In my pure and Immaculate Heart, you are like Moses' mother, placing yourselves in the basket and letting go, trusting in God. In my Heart there is this freedom from the snares of the devil which hold you captive. You sail in your little basket to a land of freedom in my Immaculate Heart, to your glory which is to live and dwell in Him. I take you to the Heart of my Son. Therein are found the treasures of divine purity, of the desire to live in God's will. In Our Hearts, your hearts are formed more and more in Jesus' image and likeness in pureness. My Son gave His life to His death on the cross doing the Father's will. Fiat, Thy will be done. Let it be done unto me according to Thy will.

I hear my children cry and I say, "Let my people go". Many are held captive by the evil one who has a grip on them. Only in my Immaculate Heart will they be set free. Give your children to me, my mothers. As Moses was given away, you give your children to the Mother and Father and pray for them. I do not literally mean to give them away, you entrust them into Our care and live according to your duty of the 4th Commandment, guiding them, always realizing you are responsible to God for the upbringing of the children. You give Him your will, that you will act according to His will with your children. You are not a slave of this sick society, looking at what the Jones are doing with their children. You are a child of God; you answer to Him. You are God's servant; you are not servants to the men of the earth. You answer to God; you serve men according to His will. He is at the top of the ladder.

Jesus speaks:  I mounted the cross. I died for you. Today I give you My Body and My Blood in the Holy Eucharist. You must treasure the gift I give you.

Messenger: The great desire is to offer the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass from the pure and holy Hearts of Jesus and Mary so that there is the greatest purity of our desires in the Mass for His holy purpose, for the good of the Church and the world and the salvation of souls.

Father said at Mass that Christ is the greatest Intercessor. I cried because I love Him so much and I am so connected to Him in my heart and I can ask Him and I know He loves me so much and He will help me.

I heard Him say in the Mass, "I was given up to death". When the priest prayed the Eucharistic Prayer, Jesus spoke to me and repeated the words in His person, "Before My death which I freely accepted for you, I took bread and gave thanks".

I could see Jesus and knowing all His love, I saw Him offering sacrifice and knew some of its immense power because I knew He was doing it through the priest, knowing how He has chosen priests to offer sacrifice in Him. I heard Him say, "This is My Body, given up for you". It made me cry, for it was so dramatic to hear Him say the words.

I knew the souls He loves and I wanted the grace to reach them and I wanted to love Him and praise Him and thank Him all at once. I knew my oneness with Him in the depth of His Heart and I knew the Father, pleading to Him for our world and our Church, for every priest, and for the salvation of souls.

At Mass on Monday, I know I experienced the purity of Mary's Heart, that pure desire to want what He wants from the Mass for His precious souls.

Oh, I long for this place of pure offering in the Mass. I long for the priests to offer the purest sacrifice as they unite with Him, the Chief Priest and Victim, so that the greatest graces can be derived from the Mass. This is what Mary said at Fatima, that priests' hearts must be pure. I am certain she wishes the priests to be one in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, offering a most pure sacrifice, being of proper disposition of purity of desire, acting in such oneness with our beloved Jesus.

What were His desires for men when He mounted the cross? Oh that the priests would be so one with Jesus in offering the Holy Sacrifice that their desires are His desires; their wants, His wants; their love, more and more likened to His so that the love of the priests' hearts be likened more and more to the love of Christ for His flock. He is the Chief Shepherd of the flock. He has anointed the priests to shepherd His flock, to love them, and to lead them in love to Him.

He is the ultimate mystery. His ways are not our ways; His ways are perfect and always filled with love. He is love; He gave His life for souls. I saw Him offer the Mass in the priest. I saw His desire to plead for us and I saw Him offer the Sacrifice.

Jesus speaks: My beloved priests, I speak to you. Consecrate your hearts to Our Hearts. I ask you to offer a pure and holy Sacrifice.

Messenger: Jesus spoke during the Consecration. Included above are a few of the sentences He spoke. This is not everything He said.
