Dear children; Today I call you to unity (communion) in Jesus, my Son. My motherly heart prays that you may comprehend that you are God’s family. Through the spiritual freedom of will, which the Heavenly Father has given you, you are called to become cognizant (to come to the knowledge) of the truth, the good or the evil. May prayer and fasting open your hearts and help you to discover the Heavenly Father through my Son. In discovering the Father, your life will be directed to carrying out of God’s will and the realization of God’s family, in the way that my Son desires (wishes). I will not leave you alone on this path. Thank you.
Mary brings up the very important concept of family. She wants us to understand that none of us exists solely as individuals, but that we are all connected through God. We are all each other’s brothers and sisters and Jesus calls us to take care of each other. But much like siblings in a family, we often find it difficult to get along with each other. One only has to watch the evening news to catch a glimpse of how we treat our brothers and sisters. But we don’t mistreat each other only through outright crimes. I’m sure all of us can think of times when we have treated others badly or unfairly. If we are all part of God’s family then we must look like a very dysfunctional one to say the least.
However, God assumed Mary into Heaven so that She could be our Heavenly mother. And one thing moms do is keep peace and order amongst quarreling siblings. As She says in Her message, She will not leave us alone on our journey through life. She is a very patient mother in that no matter how far we may stray She will always help us get back on the right path towards family unity. But just because She guides us doesn’t mean She will do all the work for us. We have a choice. We can either follow the path God lays before us or not. Mary asks that we pray, fast, and try to discover God in our lives. Praying and fasting for guidance are important. I find it amazing how much more time someone spends deciding and evaluating what clothes, cars, homes, and other possessions to buy. And yet, it seems like we so quickly dismiss our relationship with God without ever really meditating and contemplating what that relationship means. All Mary wants us to do is stop and think seriously about it through praying, fasting, reading the Bible, and attending Mass.

Dear children! Also today I am with you and I am looking at you and blessing you, and I am not losing hope that this world will change for the good and that peace will reign in the hearts of men. Joy will begin to reign in the world because you have opened yourselves to my call and to God’s love. The Holy Spirit is changing a multitude of those who have said ‘yes’. Therefore I desire to say to you: thank you for having responded to my call.
Mary says that She still has hope that all of us will turn towards what is good. Again, She shows great patience with us since it seems like the world is anything but good and peaceful. And while it is easy to feel defeated when you look around and see so much pain, suffering, and evil, Mary asks us just to simply say yes to God. All it takes is that little spark of motivation to live for God’s kingdom and Mary, the Holy Spirit, and the saints in Heaven will multiply that spark one hundred times. The apostles were only twelve men and yet when the Holy Spirit came to them in the Pentecost they went out and spread Jesus’ message and built the Catholic Church. Indeed, the Holy Spirit can do wondrous things when we let it lead us. All we have to do is make the conscious choice to say “yes” to God.
