Message from Our Blessed Mother to Carlos Lopez
July 10, 2002 St. Brunos Church, San Bruno, California

Dear Children, Praised be Jesus!

Thank you, my little ones, for having accepted to accompany me this night in prayer.

I come to offer you my help, the help of a mother and to teach you to trust in me, especially in the moments of trial in your lives.

Embrace Jesus crucified and see in Him the great love that He has for each one of you; that infinite love that brought Him to give His life for all sinners and make them return, by means of His Precious Blood of redemption, to the grace of God.

Children of mine, why do you fear suffering? Suffering is a great grace that only some are granted. Suffering is love. By means of suffering, you learn to be more humble. By means of suffering, God gives you more graces and He gives you the opportunity to better understand those mysteries of God. Suffering makes you grow in your spiritual life. Suffering is grace and it is a gift because it unites you more intimately with Jesus. Suffering is the most sublime way of learning to love your fellow men and your enemies more. Suffering calls you to humble yourselves patiently to what the will of God calls you to suffer.

Do not fear suffering, children, because God tests in this manner those He loves in order to unite them more to the cross of suffering, of redemption, and of victory.

Pray, pray, pray for in those moments of trial and sadness I unite myself more to you, to give you my motherly care.

Have faith and do not doubt in those moments of trial. Rather, pass that test with humility and patience and at the end you will obtain the crown of victory that one day you will wear in heaven.

I love you and I give you my motherly blessing. Be strong and patient for at the end the victory will be great.

I bless my beloved priests who helped me this night. I leave you inside my Immaculate Heart. 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.
