26th December 2008 (Night Prayer)
My dear children,
Pray for the lost and forsaken. Your prayers are important; they help greatly in the salvation of souls. Do this work in a gentle and humble manner. Look again to Matthew 6: 5-6. Do not worry about the thoughts of others. There will be many who mock you for your faithfulness to your prayers. You have been told in the Beatitudes to be happy when people abuse you and speak all sorts of calumny against you on account of your faithfulness to Jesus because your reward will be great in Heaven. Look to the prophets throughout the Holy Word of God; they too suffered persecution. Take time away in private to commune with your Lord and God. This is the nourishment you need to help you persevere when you face obstacles and difficulties. I remind you to be gentle as the dove but as cunning as the fox. You must not rush. God’s work is always accomplished in gentleness. You will change many hearts by your gentleness and compassion not by forcefulness and anger. Turn the other cheek when people attack you and speak against you. Remain silent when you want to lash out because of the hurt you feel. Pray and discern before you speak in haste. The tongue is small but is a mighty weapon of destruction when used for evil purposes. Be careful my children that your tongue does not cause you to sin. Better to remain silent and wait than to rush ahead and speak without thought. Act wisely my children; thoughtless words spoken in haste have lasting repercussions Speak less and love more. Strive to be God’s instrument of peace. Remember the words blessed are the peacemakers they shall be called sons of God.
