Message, from Our Blessed Mother to Carlos Lopez April 25, 2001 St. Bruno's Church, San Bruno, CA Dear Children, Praised be Jesus! Thank you, my little ones, for having accepted my invitation of this night. Never tire of praying. Prayer must always be your best friend. Prayer must nourish your souls. Prayer is life and it illumines, like a lamp, the dark path of the world. I come this night as the Mother of Mercy. I am the Mother of Him who gives Mercy to the world. I come to ask you to be merciful; to be charitable. There are many who pray for hours and they say many prayers throughout the day, but those prayers do not have any merit because those souls do not perform acts of charity or acts of mercy. All their prayers stay in the void and they do not rise like incense to the throne of God. They pray, but they harm their neighbor; they run to notice the errors of others. They rejoice in the misfortune of others, They do not know what charity or mercy is. They speak of humility, but they are not humble. They are proud and they think they are close to God. They love greed and they are bodies who walk blind and deaf in the world. They do not like anyone to correct them. And if they are corrected, they become angry and they harm others by speaking lies and ridiculing others. I desire that you, dear children, be merciful as Jesus is (merciful). I desire that you be charitable and you will store treasures in heaven. I desire that you be humble and you will be exalted. I desire that you be sincere, so that Jesus may look upon you with His eyes of love. When you pray and you show mercy, your prayers, like incense, will rise to heaven to the throne of God. Pray, pray, pray and when you pray, pray with the heart. When you see the errors of others, look at yours first and then go, and with mercy and humility, to correct the errors of others. But, yours must be corrected first. Love one another, Pray, pray, pray. I love you greatly and I always desire the best for you. I desire your salvation. Thank you for having accepted my message of this night. I give you my motherly blessing and I leave you with the love and the peace of God. I bless in a special way all of my beloved priests. 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.
