Message from Our Blessed Mother to Carlos Lopez on April 2. 1994 Dear Children, Pray, pray, pray. If you say you love God, but you do not love your brothers [and sisters], how can you say that you love Him? First learn to love your brothers land sisters] and you will know how to truly love God. Children, if you already love Him with all your heart, follow His footsteps: take up your cross, help Him and follow Him. Why are there many who are afraid to bear their crosses? They get half way and they turn back. My little ones, if you do not put your faith in Him, you will not be able to die with Him and rise with Him. Furthermore, know that I, your Blessed Mother also accompany you along that very difficult road. I take you by the hand in case you fall and hurt your knees. I am there to clean you and give you my love and tenderness. Your falls and wounds signify sin, problems, persecutions, pain, and attacks from my enemy, fear and confusions. I desire that you learn to die with Jesus and to rise with Jesus. Desire and work to obtain the things which God wants to offer you. Accept them. There are many who give Him their backs and with a flat out "NO" they answer God. They prefer to accept the things which my enemy offers them in this world, since material things are converted, in their lives, into their Gods. They forget about their true God. They put Him in second or third place in their lives. The world is in a grave problem with God. His Coming is very near and He will come on an ordinary day. Those who are prepared, continue preparing yourselves in prayer. Pray, pray, pray. The rest of my children: I ask you to prepare yourselves; convert, pray and decide, also, to obtain the things of God; and leave, completely, what the world offers you, since the world belongs to satan. Pray especially the Holy Rosary. Live in the state of grace. Visit Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament of the Altar. Thank you for having accepted my message of this day. I bless you maternally, in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
