_{Jesus speaks:        My Child,
                                    I love you so much.
                                    Do not doubt.
                                    Read the writing from yesterday,
                                        it will help you to grow deeper
                                        in your love union with Me.
                                    I am with you now.}

_{Messenger:            I saw Jesus appear in brilliant light.
                                    He appeared as the Sacred Heart.}

                                _{The healing Rosary on Tuesday in Sidney
                                     is important.}

_{Jesus speaks:        I will give great graces for
                                    healing at the Sidney Rosary.}

Messenger:           At Mass today I felt a deeper union
                                    with God from yesterday's message.
                                    I realized how distracted I am
                                    at Mass focusing what others think.
                                    What I really want is to unite
                                        as a body with every one at 
                                                  Mass and my focus
                                        being on my deep union
                                        with Him and what is
                                        happening at the Mass.

                                    Think of how distracted we are at
                                        Mass thinking about what others
                                        are thinking, what they are thinking
                                        about us.

                                    Our focus should be on Him.
                                    Our focus to plead and beg for grace and mercy.
                                    We can petition Him for our needs.
                                    We can be deeply connected to God
                                        and to others in a deep love
                                        but, we don't want to worry
                                        about things and what people
                                        may or may not be thinking,
                                        we want to be deeply united
                                        to God and the whole body of Christ,
                                        we want to be united in our hearts
                                        to everyone there,
                                        we want to be deeply united to
                                            God and to them praying
                                            for grace and help from
                                            God.

                                    The devil can really distract
                                        us at Mass with emotions
                                        that can block our participation
                                        in the Mass.

                                    I want to be so free to participate
                                        so deeply in the Holy Sacrifice
                                        of the Mass.

                                        It is so powerful.

                                    The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass
                                        is such a gift.
