Message from Our Blessed Mother to Carlos Lopez 
November 19, 1997   St. Bruno's Church, San Bruno, CA 

Dear Children, Praised be Jesus! 

Thank you, my children, for having accepted my invitation of this 
night. I come to ask you to prepare yourselves for Advent - that 
you may receive the coming of the Son of God in the state of grace. 
I desire that you return to the Sacrament of Confession and receive, 
through the hands of my beloved priests, the forgiveness of your 
sins and the Light of mercy of Jesus who is Love and the Peace of 
the World. 

I also desire that starting on the first day of Advent you light a 
candle and that you maintain it lit, in a safe place, throughout 
Advent and all of 1998 and that you also pray, every night, the 
prayer I taught you dedicated to my Child Jesus. May that candle be
the sign of the Light of the Redeemer, the Light of the Savior in 
your lives and in your homes. May that light signify that you are 
children of God and that you belong to the children of the Light, 
of Love and of Eternal Life. 

Pray, pray, pray so that in those days of suffering which are coming 
to the world your homes may give light to this world which lives in 
darkness. When you live in the state of grace, the Light of God in 
your souls will intensify to illumine the dark paths of sin in which 
the world walks nowadays. 

I also desire that you pray for my intentions, especially for this 
parish - for the disunity which my enemy wants to cause among many 
of my children. 

Pray so your pleas may reach the ears of God - that He Himself may 
send grace to your leaders so that they may always take the Church 
of God along the paths of Light, Truth and Peace. Pray, pray, pray. 

Thank you, my little ones, for having accepted my message of this 
night. I have placed all your petitions, pleas and prayers in my 
motherly mantle and I will present them before the throne of God. 
I give you my motherly blessing and I leave you under my motherly 
mantle. 

This night I leave all my beloved priests special graces in their hearts. 
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.
