Message from Our Blessed Mother to Carlos Lopez
January 6, 1999 St. Bruno's Church, San Bruno, CA

Dear Children, Praised be Jesus!

Thank you, my little ones, for having come and for having accepted my
invitation of this night. In this, my first message of this new year, I
come to address all the youth. I come to bring my message of love to my
littlest ones, to my most vulnerable ones.

Youth of mine, I desire that you pray, pray, pray and that you seek 
refuge inside my Immaculate Heart, especially in the great moments of 
temptation and danger in your lives. I desire that you be the salt of 
the earth and light for the other young people who live in darkness.

Just as a hen opens its wings to proLect its chicks, so do I come, and 
I desire that you enter under my motherly mantle and that you seek 
refuge and the motherly warmth which I desire to offer you.

Youth of mine, love peace, love justice, be humble and obedient to 
your parents. Those of you who put into practice what I come to tell 
you today gladden my Immaculate Heart and the Heart of my Beloved 
Jesus and you greatly please God.

Flee from sin and from evil. Flee frcim those who dress as sheep, but 
are rotten on the inside - they are like wolves - with their docile, 
clever and sweet words they desire to deceive you and take you along 
the wrong path to the destruction of your souls.

Pray, pray, pray. If you do not pray and water your souls, you will 
not survive the great attacks which satan has prepared for those who do 
not put into practice my motherly advice. Fight with all your strength, 
with the Holy Rosary in your hands, in order to defeat evil. Live in the 
state of grace, go to confession fequently to receive the mercy and the 
love of God. Receive Jesus freqently in the Holy Eucharist in the state 
of grace. Walk, holding on to my hands, along the path of the Truth. 
Visit Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament.

Be humble. Be good children by respecting your parents, obeying them, and 
by always being a good example for other young people.

These are many of the weapons which I want to leave you in order to defeat 
my enemy. Do not listen to him. Ask for my help with fervor, faith and 
trust and I will give it to you immediately. I will bring you to live 
eternally with me in heaven. You will see God with my help if you persevere 
until the end.

I love you greatly and I leave you covered under my mantle of protection. 
Thank you for having accepted my message of this night. I bless, very 
specially, all of my priests who helped me this night. In the name of the 
Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
