MESSAGE FROM OUR BLESSED MOTHER TO JORGE ZAVALA MARCH 8, 1994 CAPELINHA, COVA DE IRIA, PORTUGAL Dear Children, once again, I call you to prayer. Every time you pray, I desire it to be an experience of closeness to God and to your Blessed Mother. Lent is a time of special graces and a time for you to begin to respond to the call which I give to you to prayer and to penance. Meditate in a special way on the passion of my Son. With the Holy Rosary you pray the passion and the words of my Son Jesus and by means of your Blessed Mother you raise your prayers to the Father, reminding Him of the Mercy which He had toward the world by sending His Son for the redemption of humanity. I have poured many graces over you and many petitions will be answered but others will have to wait. Remember:. Seek God first and all the rest will be given to you. Please God and He will bless you greatly. I, your Mother, desire to make you images of Jesus, that is why I ask you that every day of your lives be filled with prayer. Dear children, I love you and I leave you my blessing. May the peace of the Lord be always in your hearts.
