“My dear child, through the eternal mercy of my son’s love I am always with you and I love you. Be still and be not afraid, for I shall help you. And in my mercy, the merciful love of my son Jesus, I shall anoint and bless you through the goodness of God’s love for your heart.

Pray, pray, pray. Pray for help, strength and courage and to be obedient to God’s will each day.”

‘Mother, I pray for help in all to fulfill God’s will. I pray for strength to stand through the power of the Holy Cross. I pray to be obedient to your Son’s will each day. Mother, guide me in his mercy. Take me within your arms of love.’

“Come now,” as Our Lady is appearing, “Come now and take my hand and let me lead you before the Holy Cross to offer your heart.”

‘Mother, in the name of your son Jesus, I ask forgiveness for my sins and the sins of the whole world. Have mercy on us, O Lord, and may your mercy endure forever.’

Mary now takes my hand and she embraces me. She is dressed humbly in white and then points to the Cross that I may also embrace it, resting now my head against it, knowing, trusting and believing.

‘May God’s will be fulfilled in me this day and forevermore in his love.

I love you, mother. Help me. I pray for courage and hope.’
