Message from Our Blessed Mother to Carlos Lopez June 6, 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. I come to ask you to love Jesus. I desire that you be His friend. There are many, many in the world who greatly reject my Jesus; they reject His love, His friendship and His mercy. To be Jesus' friend means to know Him, to love Him. To be Jesus' friend means to speak to Him, to have faith and trust in Him, to give oneself completely to Him, without fear. To be Jesus' friend is to love one's fellow man, to have mercy on your brothers an sisters, to be charitable, to put into practice the Ten Commandments. To be Jesus' friend means to visit Him in the Blessed Sacrament of the Altar and to form a relationship (with Him) like that of a good friend. Those who know him are few. Many say they know Him, but that is not so. Many say they love Him, but they do not desire to give love, charity or mercy to their fellow man; therefore, they do not know Him. Children of mine, when you have a good friend whom you love and respect, you want to be with that friend, sharing the joys, difficulties, illnesses and sadness. A good friend is a gift from God. A good friend is a jewel. A good friend is like the most precious stone in the world. Jesus, my little ones, is more than all that. Jesus will never let you down. Jesus, my dear children, desires to share with you all His love, all His graces, His sufferings and in a special way, His Divine Mercy. Come closer to my Jesus. Do not reject Him anymore; become His true friend. As His true friend, your happiness will be great on earth and eternal in heaven. Thank you for having accepted my message of this night. I give you my motherly blessing this night. I also bless in a special way, my beloved priests who helped me. May the peace of God be always with all of you. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
