My beloved children, I am the Queen of Peace. I am the Mother of God the Son and your Mother. I have come from Heaven to bring you the call and the comfort of the Redeemer of man. He offers you the greatest joy in the world, which is to know how to love and to feel loved. He infuses in you the Strength from on high, necessary to change your life and to correspond to His Divine Call. May His Invisible Presence be your comfort. Beloved children, ye are the shepherds of a kind and simple people who hunger for God. Therefore, live ye with enthusiasm and joy the evangelizing mission which Christ's Church entrusts to ye. In order to fulfil it, take on with courage the task of satisfying this hunger, leading all my poor children to encounter God. Ye must offer the specific collaboration of your own mission in building the civilization of love. Today's world needs your witness and your help. Tell ye all My poor children that God is true, that God exists! All men and women, even those who adhere to atheistic or anti-Christian ideologies, or who manifest a return to the values of the spirit, ask themselves about God, feel the desire and the need for him, seek a hope. To these poor children, sometimes torn by a profound contrast, you must give a response that justifies the transcendental values and the Gospel proclamation. Obviously, an adequate response, not prefabricated, but dialogical, built from the depths of consciences and concrete questions. An incarnate response in life and in the professions, in the problems of the family and the community. A response supported by personal witness so that the proclamation becomes credible and achievable. Spare no effort as builders of peace and unity, and be, with your word and your life, a presence of the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church, founded by My Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, to bring the Gospel of Salvation to all peoples. God allowed His own Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, to shed His Blood on the Cross so that men and women might become His friends again. He Himself was arrested in the Garden of Olives, led from court to court, unjustly tried and condemned, scourged and ridiculed, and finally sent to death on a Cross. Through His Passion and Resurrection, He gives you light and strength in order to turn again to God, your Father, and to get back on the right path. I am your Sorrowful Mother. I am the Mother of the universal Church. As pastors ye must watch over, guide and encourage, so that today's world may be built on the solid pillars of love, justice, solidarity, mutual respect and freedom, so that the aspirations that so many Brazilians of good will have for a better future may become a reality. Therefore, be ye bearers of the Gospel of Christ to all the Brazilian people, thus making them feel that only Christ can satisfy their hearts. Present to them high and noble ideals that will encourage their legitimate aspirations for a more just and fraternal world. Do not be ye discouraged; my Son is with ye. He needs you, he sustains you, he impregnates your whole life. The life of the priest is beautiful precisely because of this indissoluble union with Christ, this continuous sacramental and vital intercession between him and you. Beloved children, be ye bearers of the Truth of Christ. Love one another, unite, help one another, for only thus will ye be faithful to the Gospel of my Son, faithful to the Pope and the Church. Know all of ye that the truth is kept whole only in the Catholic Church in which the Holy Spirit continues to live and to pour out the Wonders of His Love. Faithful to its inspirations, onward with renewed enthusiasm in the mission of evangelizing all those who do not yet know God or know him imperfectly. Do not fear ye nor lose ye hope. On this path I accompany you, surrounding you with my maternal love so that you may all belong to Christ. On this day, My first beloved son, Pope John Paul II, turns to Me with complete trust and I, in the depths of his heart, repeat the words of My Son: "Ye are stone"! Pope John Paul II is indeed a sign of My Extraordinary Presence among you. Whoever does not accept his teachings will not be able to remain in the truth. Therefore, obey ye him. From this humble place, I encourage and bless you all in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen. Stay ye in peace.
