Little children, praised be Jesus!
Little ones, I am with you; and I take all of you and wrap you in my mantle. I take all of your beloved ones, those living by you and those living at a distance. Wherever they are, they are all special to God.
How grateful I am to see such faith and hope in people who desire to be committed to the Truth and devoted to my Son. Regardless of your walk in life, God is present and He desires you to be one with Him.
Focus, my little ones, with all your hearts; focus on God. Today is a time of great Joy in this season; and yet, there are so many people across the entire world so confused and frustrated, as if in a maze trying to find their way out, looking but not knowing where to turn. So many people are in need of Love, the Love which you have in your hearts. A new tomorrow begins through this Love, and Peace comes through unity, not by trying to destroy those who do good works.
Pray for my Church, the Church founded on the Rock of Peter, a Church which is in tremendous need of Love.
I take all of your petitions to my most Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart; and in this season I pray for you and will intercede to my Son and to God the Father. I pray that my little Son, my little Jesus, the Christ Child, will brighten the days of your lives.
Peace to you. Come, all are welcome! All are invited. Do not fear, but come. Thank you for your response. I remain with you, as does my Son. Noel!
May the Peace and the blessing of God the Father, the Son & the Holy Spirit be upon you, engraved and branded in your hearts for all eternity.

Little children, praised be Jesus!
Little ones, when my Son was persecuted and defamed, all those who surrounded Him scattered. He was alone with no one to defend Him, no one to speak the Truth. They all scattered. So too it is today, even 2000 years later, that people like those in the past have decided still to try to ruin my Son’s Name.
For a short time in the past, they were victorious; but then what happened? My Son’s apostles came together as ambassadors of Light and as one voice, a people of Christ; and they spoke the Truth. Conversions happened. They suffered for my Son. They joined together, unified as one body, as the voice of the Church.
Today if you are defamed, do those around you gather to speak the truth or do they scatter? If you yourself are a victim, do you fall apart or do you join interiorly and bond with the Love of my Son?
I have told you once before that a time of confusion would be soon enough upon you; and if you did not pray, you would not be able to discern. But as the Body of Christ, as you join together, you are the voice and you speak the Truth. It is because of your faithfulness and devotion to my Son’s Most Sacred Heart and to my most Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart that Truth is being revealed; and all of you are gathering together as one, in Love and in Peace, but speaking the Truth. This is how my most Immaculate Heart triumphs. It is when people and children are not afraid, even unto death, to live and speak the Truth and to pray.
As a joyful Mother, I bless you in my Son’s Most Glorious Name. I take all of your petitions, and I will present them to Him. I thank you. I thank you. I thank you for not leaving, but for returning to God. Peace.

World Sanctity of Life Sunday
Little children, praised be Jesus!
Little ones, as you pray with all your hearts and give all of your intentions to my Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart, I take them and present them to my Most Adorable Son, Who loves you and is by you, Who desires to dwell within you, and Who is happy when you give unconditionally and continue to surrender to Him.
The birds in the air and all the living creatures praise God (birds chirping); and yet, We invite all of humanity to continue to praise Him. Those who do not yet praise Him are welcome to come now and to praise God the Father, the Son & the Holy Spirit.
Are you surprised that God in all His Humility would allow me, a humble servant, to come here to invite humanity to return back to Him? He is not a vindictive God! He does not punish; however, if people spurn His Mercy, He has no choice but to be a God of Justice.
What are now needed are more prayer, more Eucharistic celebrations and more giving to others, giving until it hurts. This is what my Son has given to you. The beauty now in this time period is that you are able to praise my Son as the Child in this most beautiful Eucharistic Reign following this Year of the Eucharist. How long can the world continue ignoring in complacency the effects of God’s Love? All are called, but few respond; yet, look at the hope for tomorrow, hope in every way!
You should have only one fear, and that is a holy fear of God Himself. Be at peace and pray. Pray for LIFE, life from its inception until its natural death. Pray, pray! For those who desire to take it away are only seeking things of themselves; and how sad is their poverty.
I love you. I am here. I am here for you just as I am here with my Son. All glory and honor are to Him. All your works and fruits are a grace, and all praise should be to Him through your lips, in your minds and dwelling within your hearts.
Peace to you, little ones. Peace (fading whisper).

Little children, praised be Jesus!
Little ones, God is Good! He created everything good. In the end, His works and all of what He created will be good. For everything that God does is good. This gives us tremendous hope. However, in the midst of all that God created good, humanity was given a choice, which through sin has resulted in the necessity of many purgations so that souls could be restored to health.
I have so oftentimes, little children, invited all of humanity to join together in Love and in compassion, and not to speak words of hatred, nor cause slander, calumny or malice. I have invited all of humanity to be ”little” in ways so that they could be totally dependent on God, and so what was once created good could again be good, as it will be in the end. But now humanity is in the midst of tribulation; and there is an urgency, a call for change, not a call for fear.
It is necessary to begin now! There is still time. Do not wait till it is too late, for you need the peace and the conviction to change. You have seen that when certain events (ie Hurricane Katrina) occur, there can be seen the confusion, the anger, and the loss of many lives. In a moment, what was there can be gone. You have also seen the goodness of people who rally to the occasion as ambassadors of Light.
Remember, little ones, and in your souls you know who you are, that you too are called to be “ambassadors”. If you meet with frustration, anxiety and confusion in the midst of tribulation, then focus once again on God the Father Who gave to all humanity His Son Who died for you. There is tremendous hope for a new tomorrow. In the end, it will all be good!
Thank you for your response, especially now, for you do not know when God will allow another catastrophic event to occur. You must be prepared and totally dependent on God to be a vessel of Love and Peace.
I bless you in the Name of the Most Glorious Holy Trinity: Father, Son & Holy Spirit. Peace.
(Our Lady appeared with the Child Jesus at her side, dressed in a white robe and holding His Crown in His hands, with tears in His eyes.)

The Feast of the Father of All Mankind
Little children, praised be Jesus!
Little ones, as your humble Mother and a servant of God, I bring you Peace and the blessings from God the Father, God the Son & God the Holy Spirit. May all praise, glory and thanksgiving be to your Most Glorious Creator. It is with joy that I am able to be here with you. I wrap my mantle around you in loving protection, and I take all of your prayers into my most Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart.
Always strive to love, to serve, and to grow in harmony. Remember, all people are necessary for the salvation of humanity because all people were created by God. Because of free will, their choice remains; but those who desire to follow my Son shall be victorious!
My little ones, continue to remain focused. Pray, and forgive your persecutors. See, my arms are open as I plead on their behalf to God the Father to intervene, not only for you but for those who strive to harm you; for they do not know what they do.
How precious the soul that is pure and humble, compassionate and kind! At the same time, you are warriors for Christ, warriors for Jesus, your loving Savior. You must always defend the Truth and live the Truth by your Love. For I have said that Love is your sword and silence your shield, silence in the way that you shall not enter into calumny and slander.
Be holy, as God is Holy. I love you, little ones. I love you, and I am here for you and all your beloved ones. This country is God’s country, blessed abundantly. Remember how blessed you are! Remain open and selfless; and the Light that you have, others shall desire to have also.
Peace! Peace, little ones. Peace (fading whisper).

Independence Day–July 4, 2005
Little children, praised be Jesus!
Little ones, I thank God for you. As a humble Mother, I give praise to the Holy Trinity for the gift of your lives, for your freedom, for what you can achieve in God’s Peace, and for how you can reach out in unity to be the Body of Christ, uniting in harmony all peoples of all faiths.
This is a great country that God has blessed. But a true country, worthy of the blessing of God, is not rooted in power or materialism. A country worthy of God’s Peace is a country rooted in prayer, in faith, in love, in honesty, in humility, in perseverance, in compassion and in littleness.
I would invite you, each one of you, my children, to answer this most important question: “Who are you?” You are born alone, and when you come to meet your Creator at some point in your life, you will die alone. So to answer the question, “Who are you?”, you must look into the depths of the core of your soul. You must root out all the vices that are there; and you must grow in true Love, in true humility, and in the freedom which is there, yours to be had.
Freedom is not based in power, but it is based in Truth. With God you have the power and the grace to rise above the challenges, to meet your brother and kinsmen face to face in a handshake, and to become as one, consoling, inviting, unifying and accepting.
I love you; but never forget, God loves you more. He is the Divine; I am the humble messenger; and you are His humble children, invited to be His pillars of Light, Truth and Peace.
Receive the blessings of Almighty God. I take all of your petitions to the Foot of the Cross; and I join you in your suffering, which I know so well. Thank you for your response and your prayers for a free tomorrow.

Little children, praised be Jesus!
Little ones, there are so many people today who say they believe in God; but truly in their hearts, they do not trust fully because they cannot see God. I invite all my children to believe with all their hearts and to trust unconditionally. Believe, and it shall happen. Nothing is impossible with God!
I thank you for coming here to the Center of my Immaculate Heart. Here is a place through which all the world will come to know that God the Father is a God of Love. Do not be afraid of all the events that occur in the world. Here you are safe, here within my most Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart.
God does not punish. He is a holy, loving and merciful God, Who purges and makes anew. Most people do not like change, but you will be challenged to grow more and more so that you can become holy.
I thank you children for being obedient, prayerful children of God, dedicated in prayer to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, to God the Father, to the Holy Spirit, and to me, a most humble loving servant and Mother of God.
Peace be to you. I bless you in the Name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. I take all of your petitions to the Foot of the Cross; and a great blessing I pray for you from the Most Holy Trinity.
Thank you for your response to my call.

Pentecost Sunday
Little children, praised be Jesus!
Little ones, receive the Holy Spirit! Receive the gift of wisdom, the gift of piety, the gift of knowledge, the gift of understanding, the gift of fortitude, the gift of counsel, and the gift of holy fear of God. May all give praise and honor and glory to God the Father, God the Son & God the Holy Spirit!
What a wondrous day today! I, a humble servant, receive your prayers most graciously and I present them to my most adorable Son. How blessed you are to gather in His Most Holy Name and to give him honor and praise! I take all of your petitions; and at the same time, I see within your hearts all the suffering and pain. For this you must bow most graciously to His Divine Will, for in suffering there is healing; and my Son will lift your suffering just as quickly as it was given to you, in good time and with good reason.
Unite together and know that people must love you to love God within you, not love your outward appearances but your inward love of God. When you are close to God, they oftentimes see what they want; and when they cannot have what you have, then sometimes other human elements get in the way. But in silence and in prayer, all shall come to know the Truth, that the glorified God is in each person in the spirit of humility, Love and compassion. Through the gifts of the Holy Spirit, all shall rise to a level that can be attainable only through God Himself.
I love you. I thank you in His Most Glorious Name. Peace to you.

The Feast of Divine Mercy
Little children, praised be Jesus!
Little ones, be at peace. Be at peace. God is with you. It is my joy to be with you. God the Father loved the world so much that He sent His only Son Who died for you because He loves you. My Son continues to love you; and when He ascended back to God the Father, you received the Gift of the Holy Spirit Who remains with you.
Now, during these times of confusion and division, I have asked God the Father to intervene. Now God the Father in a very special way is with you. It is a new beginning. This Triumph of my Immaculate Heart is one in which God the Father dwells within each creature so that each may give Him praise, glory and honor.
I invite all the youth to join together, to be the lights for others, and to bring people back to unity and harmony. You are safe, and this is a special place, the Center of my Immaculate Heart. Holiness dwells here among the people. My beloved “saints”, so many, serve each other. It is a holy place.
Rejoice, little ones. Know that even though there may be challenges and suffering, the suffering that you endure is a purgation so that God can dwell totally within you and that you may grow to be One with Him in His Holiness. All those who desire God must be holy as He is Holy. Those who do not desire God will know the breadth and the depth of “hell”. All are invited, and those of you who have suffered are now the lights to help those who suffer.
Give and continue to give; and if you fail, be at peace and try again. Give and give; receive and receive. You receive what you give because God is among you. As He gives to you and you receive, you must now give to others so that they may receive and so that they may know Him as He desires them to know Him.
I love you. I take all your intentions and petitions to the Throne of God the Father, where my most beloved Pope now rejoices in the Sacred Heart of my Son. One night in the Sacred Heart of my Son is worth more than a lifetime of suffering.
Peace. Be at peace.

Easter Sunday
March 27, 2005
Little children, praised be Jesus!
Little ones, I thank you for your commitment and your prayers to my most Immaculate Heart. I am here to tell you that this is the Year of the Triumph of my Immaculate Heart, and it shall reign. You shall see so many things unfolding and giving great glory to God above.
I am so proud and humbled, and at the same time grateful to be your Mother. I draw you all into my most Immaculate Heart where you shall be safe. There I draw your souls, so precious and loved, to join me with the Sacred Heart of my Son. There the Two of Us, in our most precious Love for God the Father, draw all the souls of humanity together to glorify His Holy Name, to glorify the Holy Trinity, and to rise to the forefront for all to know how beautiful you are.
Little ones, in this time of tremendous turmoil, confusion and oftentimes division, I would like to set straight the path for you. Know that, as your Mother and with my Son by my side, We are guiding you and We are here for you; and know that We desire you all to return to one focus, that being to the Truth, the Path to eternal glory.
Many may think that they know the way. Many may think that they are following the way. All are welcome. No one should judge. The few who are coming are the ones whom others thought would never arrive at the fulfillment of God’s Grace and Truth.
Please know, little ones, that the most important thing you can do is to love one another, to forgive one another, and not to be duped in your thinking process as to who should arrive at a greater place. Know that I love you and that you are in the midst of a most beautiful era. In this time of grace you all can rise to quench the Thirst of my Son by living in unity, by surrendering to His Holy Will, and by not looking to yourselves but to those most in need. Put away all rash thoughts and judgments; and put on the armor of Love, humility, and graciousness.
I love you. Would you please love Us? Please come to Us! Look to Who is the True God.
Thank you for your response!

Ash Wednesday
Little children, praised be Jesus!
Little ones, this is a time of renewal, the time when each of you can join with my Son by looking at all the areas in your lives and mending them, focusing all of your attention on Jesus so that He can heal you. This is a redemptive time, a time when each of you should be doing good to your neighbor, not speaking harshly, not slandering, not gossiping, and not allowing hatred to fill your hearts. It is a time of hospitality instead of hostility, one in which you are gracious in giving and gracious in receiving.
My Son loves you; and all of His suffering was for the good of humanity. How great it is to focus on these areas in your lives with love in your hearts, so that you can grow to be more and more like my Son, Who freely gave Himself so that you could be free!
I love you, and I take your intentions to the Foot of the Cross. Blessed is the Wood of the Cross! The Wood of the Cross is your salvation, as you unite your suffering to my Son’s.
Peace.

The Feast of St. Don Bosco
Little children, praised be Jesus!
Little ones, I wish you could see the Joy that God has when He looks into your souls and sees the beauty and tranquility there, and when He receives the praise you give to the Triune God.
Even in the midst of your turmoil, little ones, the trivial things that you make bigger than they really are, these are nothing in the eyes of God. God looks into your hearts and souls and at all your good actions, your intentions, your prayer, and your incentives. So be at peace, and know that you are blessed by the Hand of God. All your intentions are taken by me and laid at the Foot of my Son’s Cross, where He then in His One Salvific Act presents them to His Father.
With all the pain that has occurred through the events in the world, yet there is nothing that has not been previously foretold. In fact, I have cautioned and invited all to be prepared so that when these things happened, all would be in the proper frame of mind, one of preparation, and with their hearts at peace.
The prophecy** of my son, Saint Don Bosco, is now unfolding; and you living within this time period are witnessing its Truth with your own eyes. Within this unveiling, there too you shall see unfold the prophecy of my most blessed Saint Anthony’s (of Padua) precious words.
I know, little ones, that all can rise above levels of interior conflict and external pressures to be able to be a people of Peace.
“So fly away, you evil spirits! The Lion of the Tribe of Judah, the Root of David has conquered.” ***
All the evil ones shall be silenced and cast into the Lion’s mouth.
Peace to you, little ones. My Joy is with you, and my prayer is that your joy may be complete.
(It was on January 31, 1993, twelve years ago, on the Feast of St. Don Bosco, that Our Lady first appeared as Our Lady of Emmitsburg to Gianna in Emmitsburg, Maryland, at the Lourdes Grotto, and invited her and her future husband Michael to leave their homes and careers and to move there after their marriage later that year, to assist Our Lady of Emmitsburg in her plan for the world.)
FOOTNOTES:
**On May 30, 1862, Father Don Bosco narrated a dream in which he saw the Roman Pontiff standing at the helm of a great flagship (the Church) steering it amidst the attack from many enemy ships (persecutions against the Church) between two solid columns soaring high into the sky. One column is surmounted by a statue of the Immaculate Virgin at whose feet a large inscription reads: Help of Christians; and the other column, loftier and sturdier, supporting a large (Eucharistic) Host and bearing beneath it the inscription: Salvation of Believers; these two columns signifying the only two things that can save mankind in such a great hour: Devotion to Mary and to the Blessed Sacrament.
(Brown, Eugene M., Rev., Dreams, Visions & Prophecies of Don Bosco, Don Bosco Publications, New Rochelle, New York, 1986.)
***Our Lady quoted these words from the Prayer or Blessing against Storms, which has appeared for 33 years in the PIETA prayer book, and which in the new 2005 edition is attributed to a pilgrim priest who in the 13th century anonymously visited a convent and church near Lisbon, Portugal, that had been devastated almost yearly by storms, causing severe loss of property and life. This pilgrim priest left a written copy of this prayer with the gatekeeper of the convent, and then he disappeared. It was posted and carried by the monks, and since that time storms have caused no damage to either the convent or the religious there. Subsequently, it was ordered to be published by Pope Innocent III (1198-1216). On January 15, 2005, Our Lady of Emmitsburg shared with mystic Gianna Sullivan that this mysterious pilgrim priest had been St. Anthony (of Padua), and she encouraged the use of this prayer during these current times.
