things. I know all things about you. It is out of love I allow things to
happen.
It is in your trials that you are taught mighty lessons. Do you
comprehend, My little one? You are a baby. Babies never question.
They are too little and too dependent on their mothers. You must
have this dependency on Me. Trust is developed by the act of your
will. You will to turn everything over and put it in My hands. Turn it
over. Lift it up and be about My work to you. Who, child, does this
work? You need to do it or it is undone. Pray for faith, hope and
charity in these tough days ahead. This I give to you, that you must
beg for these virtues.
Ready your hearts for My coming. You should be about this task
constantly. You need to be sowing the seeds I have given to you. To
present anything but a picture of assuredness and trust in Me is to
be moving away from Me.
I am here and I am strengthening you in your hearts for the days
ahead. You must follow My lead in all you do. Worry is fruitless.
Preparedness is your utmost concern. Concern yourself only with
the things of God. Do not be led astray by anything that leads you
from your focus.
Pray for your brothers constantly. It is as the unrest before the
storm. There is an unsteady feeling, a nervousness as if one knows
the storm is coming. This is how the world is now—it is as if you
are waiting for a big explosion. You almost know the time, but no
one has told you a thing. The unsteady air is telling you the message.
Be ready. Be tuned into the events about to occur!
You must be tuned into trust in Me. Nothing else! Trust and Faith
will be the lamp that lights your path. Your job now is not to know
when, how or if, not to worry, not to fret, not to fume. Your job is to
stay fixed to Me, to disregard the unsettling feeling and to take this
time to become very close to Me, to use this opportunity to practice
total Trust in your God, and to be about the things of God at every
moment—attending Mass, receiving Holy Communion and praying
before Me in adoration!
You are missing private prayer with your children. They will not
come to you and say, “Let’s pray the rosary, Mom.” You must take
time for your children. Your time alone with them now is strengthening
them for the days ahead. You need time alone with them, and
in private prayer. Teach them that this time is a top priority in your
life. You need a united front in the family. The family that prays
together, stays together. You can give them so much by demanding
this time alone with them and praying as a family together.
