“My dear child, may you live with joy within my heart—the joy of loving others, of loving your brothers and sisters. To seek to do so with peace, mercy and compassion. May your heart be fulfilled by my love. Give to all wholeheartedly as I gave my heart and follow my example, to follow the golden rule in doing unto others as you would have them do unto you.

Yes, my son, the mercy of my Cross is peace. And I desire to offer peace to all of my children who are in need, in need of my hope.

For blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven, my son. Blessed are they who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. Bless are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied. Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. Blessed are the clean of heart, for they will see God.

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. Blessed are you who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven. And blessed are you when they insult you and persecute you and utter every kind of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward will be great in heaven. Thus, they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

My son, these words are the fulfillment of love, my love and mercy for my children, and the great compassion that I have for them. Rejoice and give thanks to God our Father for this day. Rejoice in all good things and may his mercy and love go before you to follow in my footsteps.

I love you and remember the vision of the Tree of Life in honoring those also who have honored you. To bring new life to souls and to encourage them with my great love, to give them the fruits of my loving mercy. I love you and I will always be with you.”
