(Our Mother Speaks)(The following message was received prior to the Friday night Canyon Rosary and was transcribed as it was being dictated. During these last few weeks, there have been numerous occasions upon which this writer has found herself amidst large groups of people speaking on “fear” and “anxiety”. That in itself is enough to make the hair rise on any timid person’s arms and seemingly feeling myself with my back against a wall, I made my way forward and began to speak. This was only accomplished when I realized it was not the wall which supported me, but the Lord Himself. As with all messages, we urge you to pray to the Holy Spirit for discernment as you read the following):“My Dear Children,
You lose strength when your focus is distracted from Jesus, for He alone is your strength and salvation. In your weariness cling to Me. The Mother.............................................................. .....sent by God to encourage and support you as you journey to My Son. In all oflife’s trials.......... that of self-sufficiency poses many problems...... for it is pride indisguise. Your vision becomes clouded and blurred ....... thus, in your shortsightedness ..... you take your eyes off of Jesus and find yourself lost in worldly ways. The scale (I questioned if I had heard correctly) a harmoniousrelationship with God ..... begins to tilt ......... . you lose your footing ..... and so
slightly, that it is barely detectable.......... a downward spiral takes hold.
Pray, My children. A life centered in prayer is productive and rewarding............ for
it is the fruits of prayer which .... one day ..... shall ripen into great delicacies which you shall offer to God.”
