Message from Our Blessed Mother to Carlos Lopez February 14, 1996 St. Bruno's Church, San Bruno, CA Dear Children, Praised be Jesus! My little ones, thank you for having accepted my invitation of this night. I love you and I come to give you this day the Flame of my Immaculate Heart. Dear Children, I come this day to bless, in a special way, all families. The family must be holy. I come to speak to the husbands and wives: Spouses, be holy. May prayer be the axis of your lives. May God be the center of your lives. I desire you to be an example for your children. I desire you to reunite yourselves to pray altogether. The family that prays united, remains united. The family is like a plant which, if not watered, dies. That is to say, my little ones, that if you do not nourish yourselves with prayer, satan enters and tries with his tricks to disunite you. In the family there must be peace, love, trust. In that way, you will grow in harmony, in peace, in unity and love. To the children, I desire to tell them: Love your parents. Respect them. Honor them. Obey them. There are many of my children who do not respect them and they hurt the hearts of their parents with their actions, with their lack of love. Each time you are disrespectful toward your parents, wounds appear in the Sacred Heart of my beloved Son and in my Immaculate Heart. My little ones, a tree which grows crooked ends up crooked and must be cut down. I beg you, dear children, listen to my pleas of this night. I desire that in the family Jesus my beloved Son be the center of your lives and that you allow me to always be the guide who will lead you to the Truth. I love you, my little ones and I desire that you love one another, respect one another and may peace grow each time more and more in your lives. I come to give you a special blessing this night. I love you and desire your salvation. I desire that holy families be the example for the society in which you live. I bless my priests who accompanied me this night and all of you I leave in the love of God. May the peace of God Almighty be always with all of you. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
