Message from Our Blessed Mother to Jorge Zavala
February 17, 1999  St. Bruno's Church, San Bruno, CA
(Ash Wednesday)

Dear little children,

During this time of Lent in which the Holy Church calls you to 
a spirit of prayer and penance, I, your Mother, also call you to 
perform your sacrifices in a spirit ofjoy. This is a special 
time of grace - a time when God desires to manifest to you the 
great mystery of His Love. This is the time in which, through 
prayer, Ciod desires to reveal to you His call in a special way.

By imposing penance upon your body, you open your souls to grace. 
By sacrificing material goods, you obtain spiritual goods.

As what you truly are, children of God and mine, live this time 
in charity, in joy, in peace and in reconciliation with one 
another and with your Heavenly Father.

I, your Mother, accompany you at every moment. Dear little 
children, I love you. I leave you my blessing and may the peace 
of the Lord remain in your hearts.
