Message from Our Blessed Mother to Carlos Lopez 
February 6, 2002 St. Bruno's Church, San Bruno, CA

Dear children, Praised be Jesus!

I come this night to call you, once again, to conversion. A conversion is 
like fire which burns the soul out of love for God. A conversion must be 
complete; a conversion that together with the fire of the love of God burns 
your souls due to a desire for holiness.

Many say they are converted, but their conversion is as cold as ice. They do 
not pray and the cold and dark water of sin has extinguished that fire which 
one day shone in them.

My little ones, sin, bad habits, laziness, ill will, and a sharp tongue to 
kill your fellow man with words and lies have extinguished the fire which one 
day shone in your hearts.

Where are many of my children who one day prayed with me? Where are the 
simple of heart? Where are those children of mine whom I formed? Many ran to 
the emptiness of the world and they gave themselves completely to sin. They 
forgot to pray and (they forgot) everything I once taught them. The 
allurerments of the world extinguished the fire of that conversion which one 
day shone brightly in their hearts. How can many say they are converted if 
they pray whenever they want; if they pray only when they are sad or when the 
sufferings and problems knock at the door of their lives.

Conversion must be daily, my little ones. If a conversion is not watered with 
the water of life, it dies. Listen to my message of this night. Accept, 
today, the grace that I come to give you, the grace of conversion, of a total 
conversion, a conversion which only I desire to give you.

Pray, pray, pray for if you pray as I ask you to, with simplicity and 
humility, the conversion of your hearts will not fail, but will live 
always even through the difficulties of daily problems, of the temptations of 
my enemy. Pray, pray, pray and trust in me. I desire that your conversion be 
like that of a child: simple and obedient.

Thank you for having accepted my invitation of this night. May the peace of 
God Almighty be always with you. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, 
and of the Holy Spirit.
