(The following message was received during our beautiful Christmas gathering during the Friday Night Canyon Rosary in which our Blessed Mother came and blessed all the items which everyone had brought and placed on the tables next to Her large statue. Everything was aglow with the soft lights of candles while Christmas music could be heard sweetly playing in the background. It was an absolutely holy evening.)([Pat) “I will say it just as you say.“My dear children,
What if I ask you this night to take My hand............ without seeing...... withoutexpecting anything .......... yet, you know deeply within your heart that you hold thehand of your Mother. This is as it was with Jesus ...whom I took into My arms
and bathed Him in My tears of joy ...tears of joy......... and I glanced at My dear
Joseph ... .who stood there so in awe ... not knowing what to do. I held out My hands with this precious gift from God and I could scarcely encourage this holy
to feel the beat of His heart. It was at this moment that I took My hand and placed it in the infinitely small hand of My Holy Son.
This is our gift to you this night..... for as you allow Me to take your hand..... I tellyou the Power of the Holy Spirit will come upon you ........... and you will be taken
back to that precious moment in time when the Son of God held the hand of His
Mother! For you, My children... .your hands are larger I ask you to believe that I take My fingers and gently weave them between yours....................................................................................................... for this is an embrace
from Mother to child!
shall never reach the degree of intelligence that will allow you to understand the
smallest detail of God’s plan for your life ........ for you shall always walk in
Faith....... you shall be kissed from time to time with precious gifts............. withbutterflies of blue .......... with pictures in which you see our image. Do not allowyourselves to become discouraged, but cling tightly to your faith for all are gifts from God and must be received as such. He loves you as a most tender Father and has permitted this evening as one of special joy to allow Me to come into your presence and bless the objects which you have brought forth for My blessing. I thank you above all for your faith for you shall always walk by faith. Everything you do in life is done out of faith and trust in Almighty God. We bless you.
Know that all that have come that are ill .......... I have personally touched and prayed
an intercessory prayer before My Son. ... The children, I always bless as I bless and keep all children close to My heart.
Be at peace now for surely you know that God loves you. You have a mission, My children, and by the power of God and the strength of His love, you shall accomplish that which has been assigned to you.”
(Note): There was a silent, if I may say “holiness” right after the rosary. We sat silently contemplating what we had just heard. Then we heard the most beautiful “Ave Maria” being sung that echoed throughout the room. It was the climax of a most enchanting evening!
