This is a profoundly simple, yet deep message as are most of Our Lady’s messages.

Dear children! I am with you to tell you that I love you and to encourage you to prayer; because Satan is strong and every day his strength is stronger through those who have chosen death and hatred. You, little children, be prayer and my extended hands of love for all those who are in darkness and seek the light of our God. Thank you for having responded to my call.

The Blessed Virgin Mary wants us to know that she loves us. In a previous message she said: “If you knew how much I love you, you would cry for joy.” That is a very intense love. We should constantly ask for the grace to know the love of God and the love of Our Lady. If we knew their love we would never sin again. One of the greatest crises in our world today is love. People are starving for love. It is one of the reasons that people are entrapped in so many sexual sins. People are striving and searching to find love. But everything leave us empty. The only thing that can fill our souls is true love. The love of God and pure love from our fell man. These along can fill us with peace and joy.

Indeed Satan is as strong as we allow him to be. Every person who rejects the plan of God in their lives gives something over to the enemy. We often hear of the Communion of Saints. Every good work we perform, every prayer we utter, every Mass we participate in, every act of penance offered, every sacrifice we make, every good thought or action allows contributes to the upbuilding of the kingdom of God. We help make God’s kingdom present in our little portion of the world and it spreads like fire. We are truly “a light on a hill.” And so, every bad choice we make, every sin we commit, every bad work and evil action contributes to the kingdom of evil.

If Satan is strong, we need to be stronger. We ought make the sacrifice to attend Mass and received Holy Communion as frequently as possible. Our Lady asked for monthly Confession. The person who wants to grow in holiness doesn’t only go to Confession once a year. We would never consider taking a shower only once or twice a year. Good hygiene means that we wash up every day. Our dentist would be horrified if we only brushed our teeth once a year. A daily pray life is enough. And it can’t be a quick Lord’s Prayer and Hail Mary. We must spend quality time with Our Lord. We also need to have a deep connection with Our Lady. Praying the Rosary, Total Consecration to her Immaculate Heart. Wearing (and living) the Brown Scapular. Our lives and home must be surrounded with sacramentals. Many homes today look like they have been sanitized of a Catholic identity. Every home should have a statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Every room should have a crucifix. Our homes should be blessed by a Catholic Priest. We ought say grace a meals. The spiritual life has to be a Catholic life.

As people of faith we must carry our faith on our sleeves. No, I don’t mean by wearing T-shirts with slogans and a big Bible under your arm. But a life of virtue and living our faith in the public square without fear of the repercussions. If we don’t do it, nobody will. And the current situation will only get worse. “Let us begin again, for until now we have done nothing” St. Francis of Assisi.
