Message from Our Blessed Mother to Carlos Lopez April 22, 1998 St. Bruno's Church, San Bruno, CA Dear Children, Alleluia! Jesus has risen. Rejoice because the Redeemer of the world was dead and after three days he rose from among the dead for the salvation of the world. Rejoice and glorify God in one voice - He who has desired that salvation come to all of you. Dear children, pray, pray, pray. I, the Mother of God, your Mother and the Mother of Hope come to ask you to pray with the heart and to unite yourselves with me in prayer. My little ones, besides coming to ask you to pray much, I also come to ask you to do much sacrifice and penance. There are very few who listen to the outcry of a Mother and you do not put into practice what I come to ask you Wednesday to Wednesday. I desire that you pray, make sacrifices, do penance for nonbelievers, for those with stony hearts who reject my invitation to conversion; for them I ask that you unite yourselves with me that we may pray together for those children of mine whom I also love very much, who were also created by God just as you were. Pray for the salvation of their souls. Pray, also, for those who do not love me and who offend me greatly by their behavior, by their lack of love and humility. Pray for those who blaspheme my purity, for those who speak ill about my Immaculate Conception. I desire that you pray for those who have a false devotion to me. They love me with their lips but not with the heart. These children of mine make others believe that they live close to me, that they love me, but that is not so - all of them sadden me very much and they offend my Immaculate Heart. Pray, pray, pray for all of them. Make sacrifices and do penances. If you obey me, children of mine, they will all learn to love me and come closer to Jesus--to glorify Him, to love Him, and they will receive, with the help I come to ask of you today, the grace of a true conversion, with the heart. Thank you for having accepted my message of this night. I love you with an intense and infinite love. I bless all of my beloved priests who accompanied me and helped me this night and I leave all of you inside my Immaculate Heart. May the peace of God Almighty remain always with all of you. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
