Message from Our Blessed Mother to Carlos Lopez
March 4, 1998   St. Bruno's Church, San Bruno, CA

Dear Children, 

Praised be Jesus!

Thank you, my little ones, the smallest ones of my flock of love and of peace. 
I come to thank you for having accepted my call and my invitation of this night.

It is the beginning of Lent. I desire that you clothe yourselves with the dress 
of humility and in that way return, especially in these days, to the Sacrament 
of Reconciliation. I desire that now, more than ever, you clothe yourselves with 
the white dress of sunlight and of humility and walk with me along the Way of 
the Cross. My little ones, my most beloved children, I come to invite you to 
meditate on the Sorrowful Mysteries and that Friday to Friday you participate in 
the Stations of the Cross and walk, step by step, along that path of pain, blood, 
tiredness, torture, sadness and martyrdom which my Beloved Son suffered while 
climbing to Golgotha to suffer and die on that beam out of love and for the 
redemption of every man on the earth.

Children, pray together with me for the mercy of God to come upon the men of the 
earth, for those who do not believe in the redemption of the Lord, for sinners, 
for the proud, for those who day to day offend His Sacred and Sad Heart. I desire 
to invite all of you to crucify your sins on the Holy Cross and In that way you 
may turn your eyes towards Jesus and say to Him:

    Lord, Thank you for your love, for your mercy, for giving your life for me 
    and for saving me from my spiritual ruin. Forgive me, my Beloved Jesus. I 
    want to be yours. I want to belong to you today and always. By means of your 
    most precious Blood of Redemption may you forgive me and turn your eyes 
    towards me, poor sinner. I desire, my Good Jesus, To be yours - to love you, 
    bless you, glorify you forever Lord.

Children of mine, pray always so as not to fall into temptation. Crucify your sins, 
day to day, on the Holy Cross and turn your eyes and your lives to God by means of 
the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Jesus loves you; He waits for you to forgive you 
and give you His grace of mercy, peace and love.

Thank you for having accepted my message of this night. I bless you and I invite 
you to follow me along the Way of the Cross and to walk with Jesus toward Golgotha. 
I love you and I bless my beloved priests who helped me this night. 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.
