4th September 2008 (Night Prayer)
My dear children,
Do not hesitate when you know you are obedient to the God’s Will. Satan will try and distract you with doubts and fears in the important work that you have been called to undertake. Follow the little way. Pray first and discern God’s Will then step out in blind faith trusting completely in God’s love and the love of His Son Jesus. Jesus is your Good Shepherd. You have been told many times that He will guide and help you in your spiritual journey. I ask you to take time in stillness so that you can receive the guidance you need. You must read Scripture daily to understand God’s Will. Humbly accept God’s way. Do not feel offended if you are disciplined. This is what all good parents do with their children. Boundaries must be set. This is done not in punishment but out of love. I ask you to take time to think and contemplate on your personal life. Do you have boundaries – taking time in prayer to commune with your Lord and God; taking time to reach out in charity and love to family and others and taking time for yourself? Look again at the parable of the ten bridesmaids. The five wise bridesmaids took time to fill their lamps in preparation for their Bridegroom. The unwise bridesmaids were not prepared and paid the price for their carelessness. You must take time to be replenished with the oil of the Holy Spirit. It is difficult to reach out as a missionary servant of God’s love if you are running on empty. Jesus went off by himself to rest and pray to His Father in Heaven. Do not feel guilty when you take time to rest and to be replenished. It is important for you to be disciplined in caring about your relationship with God, in caring about those in need and also to care for yourself so that God can use you more fully as a servant of united love.
