Message from Our Blessed Mother to Carlos Lopez August 5, 1998 St. Bruno's Church, San Bruno, CA Dear Children, Praised be Jesus! I come very happy, my little ones, because you accepted my invitation of this night. On this very special day for the Queen of Heaven and Earth, I come with many angels to respond to many of your petitions. Every week in which you come to my prayer group with much sacrifice and love, tears of happiness fall from my eyes at seeing how much love many have for me. I desire to give you many graces this night to you and your families and I desire to respond to the petitions of many of the sick. For this I need from all of you: trust and faith, as well as sacrifices, penances and much prayer. Children, what I come to ask you today is not difficult to do. Oh children, if you only obeyed me, I would respond to more of your petitions, but your lack of faith and trust in God allow me to respond only to some of them. Later I will respond to your other petitions. I also come this night to remind you to respect and honor the day of the Lord, to go to mass and may the Holy Mass be the center of your lives that day. The Holy Mass is the greatest prayer which exists. When you participate in the Holy Mass, meditate and live the passion and death of Our Lord who gave His life for each one of you. Jesus becomes present at the moment of consecration in Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity. Jesus, my Beloved Son, becomes truly present in the Eucharist. My little ones, know that when you participate at Holy Mass with your heart, your blessings and graces are very special and great at those moments. Jesus observes you and He knows who loves Him and who rejects Him. Allow me to always take you to Jesus who is all Love, Goodness, Peace, Sweetness and Mercy. Love Him with all your heart, with all your mind, with all your strength. Love Him above all things. His mercy is infinite, beyond all understanding. Humble yourselves before Jesus; adore Him, praise Him in your hearts in the Blessed Sacrament of the Altar. I desire, children of mine, that your bodies always be tabernacles where He dwells - that it may be Jesus and only Jesus who possesses your souls, your lives and your hearts. Come close to Him and you will assure your salvation. Obey me always. I will take you to Jesus so that some day you may live always and eternally with my Beloved Son in Paradise. Thank you for having accepted my message of this night. I give you my motherly blessing and I leave each one of my beloved priests who helped me this night inside my Immaculate Heart. 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. Note: August 5th is a "very special day" for Mary... it is her birthday.
