Pray for me O Holy Mother of God, that I, your Humble Servant, will carry out, Your requests, with True and Unfailing Faith in You, and Your Blesséd Son, Jesus Christ.
No. 5 Gift of Faith
My Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Almost a fortnight has passed since “Our Blesséd Mother” last “Came” to me, but now on the 25th January 2004, again during my “Bush” exercises, She “Came” to me.
Again, as on the previous “Visits”, I was being overwhelmed with her Heavenly Love that engulfs me, when She comes to me.
On this visit, this is what “Our Blesséd Mother’ said to me;
“The time has come for Me, your Heavenly Mother, to explain to you, so that you can pass this on to My Children, your Brothers and Sisters in Christ, about ‘Faith’, as this is going to be very important for you to understand, as you go about undertaking your Mission as My Messenger.
In explaining this to you, I will also refer to ‘The Rosary’, by the way of a comparison, in this explanation.
Firstly, ‘The Rosary’, is a ‘Gift’ that I, your Heavenly Mother, GAVE to all of mankind, in other words, to ‘All’ MY Children on earth.
This ‘Gift’, which, if you, My dear Children, choose to make use of, will, as I have already said, become the ‘Key’ to My Heart.
Of course, if you, My dear Children, do not make use of ‘The Rosary’, then all it becomes is a lifeless collection of beads that have been strung together, but, by Praying ‘The Rosary’ and therefore making use of these ‘Rosary Beads’, then by this very action you, My Dear Children are effectively ‘Breathing Life’ into ‘The Rosary’, with your Prayers.
‘Faith’, on the other hand, is a ‘Gift’, that is and has been OFFERED, personally by your Heavenly Father, to each and every one of you, My Dear Children and therefore, it is up to every individual person to make the ‘Choice’, as to whether you accept this most Holy of ‘Gifts’ being offered to you, or indeed to reject it.
It is for this reason, therefore, why so many of My Children, sadly, throughout the world, do not have ‘Faith’, because these Children of Mine, again most sadly, have made the ‘Choice’, to reject this Most Sacred of ‘Gifts’.
However, if in being Offered this ‘Gift’, from your Father in Heaven, you, My dear Children do in fact ‘Choose’ to accept it, it does not end there.
In fact, My Dear Children, it only just ‘Starts’ there.
This is because, in accepting this ‘Gift’, along with it, you are accepting a very important ‘Responsibility’, the ‘Responsibility’ of ‘Nurturing’ it and helping it to grow.
It is very much like, where, if a friend were to offer you a ‘Gift’ of a Pot Plant, for example, and if you were to choose to accept this ‘Gift’, once again it does not end there, but in fact only starts there, because now you carry with that acceptance, the ‘Responsibility’ of ‘Nurturing’ this Pot Plant, otherwise if you should show neglect to the Pot Plant, it will whither and wilt and if the neglect were to carry on long enough, then the Pot Plant will eventually die.
In much the same way, you now have the ‘Responsibility’ of ‘Nurturing’ this ‘Gift of Faith’, in order that it can grow and eventually come to full Bloom.
However if you should neglect it, then this ‘Gift’ will wilt and whither, and again like with the Pot Plant, if the neglect of the ‘Nurturing’ of this ‘Gift of Faith’ were to carry on long enough, then it will eventually die.”
Then “Our Blesséd Mother” continued along with the same theme, to point out to me, personally, where exactly I stood in relation to my own “Faith”, which once again, as “Our Blesséd Mother” had earlier asked me to open my Heart and Soul to all of you, My Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, I would like to share this “Personal” Message with you.
This is what She said to me;
“During your life to date, as I had shown you earlier on, there were many occasions when you strayed away from My Belovéd Son, with your Sins, and sometimes even months would pass when you did not attend The Celebration of the ‘Holy Mass’, and receive ‘Holy Communion’.
It was during these times, when you neglected your own ‘Gift of Faith’, and did not ‘Nurture’ it.
In fact, during these ‘Black’ times, you were allowing your own ‘Gift of Faith’ to whither and wilt, and then, when you did turn to Me, your Heavenly Mother in Prayer, it was, through your Prayers that you were reviving your ‘Faith’, effectively ‘Breathing’ life back into it, and by so doing, carrying out your ‘Responsibilities’ in the ‘Nurturing’ of this ‘Gift of Faith’.
Now, that you have, at last begun to ‘Hear’ Me, and ‘Listen’ to Me, your Heavenly Mother, it is now that your ‘Faith’ is actually ‘Beginning’ to grow, but you still have a long way to go, as your ‘Faith’ will be put to many ‘Tests’ in the future, from this point on.
In order for you to be able to cope with these ‘Challenges’, that you will be confronting, you will need to continue to be Prayerful, as you have been, particularly over the past five years, and with it you will have to stay ‘Focused’, to the tasks that My Belovéd Son, Jesus, through Me, will be asking of you.
There will be many ‘Challenges’ ahead for you, particularly in respect to your willingness to ‘Openly’ Profess your ‘Faith’ in Me, your Heavenly Mother, and as I have already promised to you, I will be there with you in helping you to share the burden of Pain that will come with it, but you will still have to stay ‘Focused’ and ‘Prayerful’, in order for you to be able to handle these forthcoming ‘Challenges’.
It will, therefore, be your ‘Strength’, or indeed ‘Lack of Strength’, in your ‘Faith’, that will ultimately determine how successfully you will handle these ‘Challenges’.
Therefore, it is essential that you continue to ‘Nurture’ your own ‘Gift of Faith’, so Lovingly offered to you by your Heavenly Father, that you can be ‘Best’ prepared for these forthcoming ‘Challenges’. ”
With this “Our Blesséd Mother” gave me Her Blessings, and left me, but as in Her previous visits, I could still feel Her presence as I continued on with my exercises.
I pray, O Holy Mother of God, that those who choose to Read or Hear Your Messages, will receive them with Your Blessings, and that their Heart’s too, will be filled with Your Graces and Love.
