Message from Our Blessed Mother to Carlos Lopez
February 5, 1996     Burlingame,CA
 
An urgent plea for forgiveness:
 
My little ones, when I see how you come to my Son - with much love and
tenderness, to accompany Him in the Blessed Sacrament of the Altar, my
Immaculate Heart cries out of happiness to see how you ask and pray, giving
God all your being.
 
My little ones, pray so that you do not fall into temptation. Pray, pray,
pray so that my enemy will not make you fall into his ambush of lies and of
pride. Look at one another--how weak you are. More than one time you have
injured one another with words, with actions, with your pride, which many
still possess. When you hurt one of your brothers or sisters, their hearts
become saddened. The person whom you have hurt suffers sadness, confusion and
pain at knowing how greatly one can injure. Yes, you have fallen into
temptation and you have opened a window for my enemy and he has used you to
discourage that disillusioned and sad soul. Satan, my children, knows your
weaknesses perfectly well.
 
Now, I ask those who have been injured--how great is your forgiveness? How
great is your love? How great is your humility? You are all so vulnerable
that you come to fall sooner or later. It is at that moment of pain when you
have to put into practice my messages, my pleas of forgiveness, of humility,
of love. He who truly loves, truly forgives. He who forgives with the heart,
receives the peace of God and will be exalted in heaven.
 
Oh, my little ones, mankind is full of imperfections and those who injure
others, as well as those who are injured, have great errors. They have also
fallen into temptation and sin. Therefore, if humanity is weak and full of
errors, why do you not forgive? Why are you not humble? When you learn to
truly love, you will have learned to truly forgive! Listen to my pleas of
this day. Pray, pray, pray so that no one falls into temptation and into sin.
Receive Jesus in your heart. If you say you love Him, forgive. If you say you
love Jesus, give your love to others. If you say you love Jesus, share with
others that peace which only He can give you.
 
Many say they love Him, but in reality that is not the case. For if you do
not love your brothers and sisters, if you can not forgive the offenses and
you do not have peace in your hearts, then you do not know Him. Oh, my little
ones, it does not matter how greatly you have been offended, forgive so you
may be forgiven. Love, so you may be loved. Have peace in your hearts, so you
may give peace; in that way you will close the doors of your heart to my
enemy and the mercy, the peace and the love of God will shine like the sun in
your hearts. May the peace of God Almighty remain always with you.
