MESSAGE FROM OUR BLESSED MOTHER TO CARLOS LOPEZ MARCH 9, 1994 BASILICA OF OUR LADY OF FATIMA, COVA DA IRIA, PORTUGAL Dear children, My Heart beats out of happiness at seeing with what love and reverence you have come to reunite yourselves with your God by means of the sacrifice of the Holy Mass. Dear children, I come this day to plead with you not to cease praying. Without your prayers you will not be able to overcome the great difficulties which are coming to the world. Now that your pilgrimage has come almost to its culmination, I want, my little ones, that you bring to your homes peace and light. I desire, my little ones, that that light which you have acquired here in Fatima be carried (by you) in order to be able to illumine the great darkness which exists and covers the world. You carry with you many graces; graces which I have poured upon each one of you. Conserve them in your hearts for the rest of your lives. Only sin will be able to steal those graces which I have given you. I invite you also, my little ones, to be humble and not to judge any more. There is no more time to judge one another. I call you to unity, to love, to prayer, and to peace. I call you to unity in families, in order to sanctify families. May prayer be the spinal cord in families, and that you may pray, from the youngest to the oldest. Give me your hearts, totally, and not partially. Live always in the state of grace. Dear children, I call you to sanctity, to humility, to prayer, to obedience, to faith, and to love. Come to me and seek refuge in my Immaculate Heart. I will never leave you. God blesses you and I your Mother leave you my maternal love. I love you with an infinite love. I bless you, my little ones, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
