Message from Our Blessed Mother to Carlos Lopez January 21,1998 Quezon City, Philippines Dear Children, Praised be Jesus! Thank you, my little ones, for humbly accepting my invitation of this night. I come to bless everyone and in a special way the Filipino people. I come to ask you, children of mine, to pray, pray, pray - to be faithful to my Beloved Son Jesus. I desire that you know that God exists--that He is very close to you. Give Him your needs, your fears, your sorrows, your anguishes, your joys and in a special way all your love. I desire that you always be faithful to Him. I desire that you come closer, without fear, to Jesus. He desires to be your friend, your confidant, your brother, your Best Friend. Children, do not be afraid to love Him. He desires that you give Him all your love. Oh, my little ones, if you knew how much He loves you, you would die of happiness. If you knew how to love Him all your troubles would be erased from your hearts. My little ones, pray and listen to my pleas of this night. I desire to help you and bring you closer to my Beloved Son and that you come to know the happiness and the peace that He causes in the life of each one of you. Give Him your heart, your will and all your love. Children, flee from sin. Flee from the world. Flee from the prince of lies, since he only offers you empty things, darkness, pride and a false happiness. On the other hand, my Beloved Son offers you Himself and love, love, a lot of love. Thank you for having accepted my message of this night. I give you my motherly blessing. In addition, I have placed all your petitions inside my motherly mantle. Trust always in me. May the peace and the blessing of God Almighty be always with all of you. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
