My dear children,
As My Son has offered His unconditional love to you, I ask you in return to love one another. Where there is un-forgiveness there cannot be true love. Love is not self centered or envious, My little ones, but is pure and total abandonment to self. As you learn to seek humility, your soul is freed from self wants and desires seeking only to uplift and serve others.
I urge you, my precious ones, not to become preoccupied with the cares of this world but focus on the great treasures of Heaven. The obtainment of these treasures is exemplified by the lives of the Saints ---- ordinary souls who chose simplicity of life and won favor with God.
My children, there are many forks in the road of life. You must be well prepared for by your choices, you determine the direction your soul will take. Only one way leads to eternal life. Pray much that you will not be deceived for subtle deception lurks around each corner.
Pray, dear ones, and we will come to your assistance lighting your path to holiness. Rejoice for your journey nears completion. Peace and love.
