My dear children,
There is a wave of sorrow in My Heart as My time with you grows short. You are My ---- dear ---- children whom I have nurtured but a short while yet you are strong enough to stand for the common bond of love ---- the love of Jesus ---- unites you one to another. My precious ones, do not fear the unknown ---- but continue onward with the assurance of Divine Love's unending compassion for each one of His beloved children.
The trials of life ---- those times of pain and suffering which can take many forms, are an intricate part of this life's journey. They are a means by which you obtain great grace ---- and thus through grace, you become led upon the path to holiness.
I urge you, My dear children, to bear your crosses with joy as you trust in Him upon whose cross you now gaze. I solemnly tell you, little ones, you have come upon holy ground. This place has been chosen ---- not by man ---- but by the hand of God. All is in place for the angels of the Lord stand ready to defend that which is His. Let fear and uncertainty no longer control your lives ---- rejoice for the awareness of Our presence will be experienced by many. Prepare your hearts to love and forgive as only through true conversion can peace be obtained. Peace and love!
