My beloved children, how I long to hear you call to me.  My heart burns for love of you.  Your prayers of love call to me and I must respond.  Your sacrifice of love deeply touches my most Immaculate Heart.  Thank you for responding to my call.  Thank you for being here today, on my feast of my Immaculate Conception.  This feast is not for me alone, for this feast was just the beginning of God's will for salvation. 

Peace, peace, peace of Jesus be with you.

WEAR THE EYES OF MERCY

Wear the eyes of mercy where you become a lover of the soul, where you see beyond your pain, beyond your needs for love, beyond your desires of comfort.
Mercy is looking and seeing, and most important:  loving to the point of forgiveness where all debt is paid for and forgiveness of the heart takes place.  Remember that, my children, your debt has already been paid, but you must accept it by forgiving the debts of others.  Mercy is love and forgiveness in action.  Where are you lacking in action?
I will triumph with my most Immaculate Heart through mercy.  I will triumph over the souls you pray for by your mercy.

Today I pray, today I send you the grace of mercy.  I hold back nothing from you, especially mercy.  So must you also do.  Think today of who owes you by hurting you.  Give them to me.  Forgive as though your life depended on it, because it does.  I desire that you may be the truest example of my mercy.  Hold no one back from me.  Treat each child of mine as though I am loving through you.  Desire more to love than to be loved.  The eyes of mercy see beyond judgment, beyond condemnation, beyond your eyes of
selfishness, beyond your eyes of self-reliance.  I wish that you would decide today to be disciples of mercy.  Hold not back love or forgiveness.

PRAYER OF THE HEART

Prayer from the heart means forgiving with the heart.  This grace is not acquired on your own.  This grace is given to those with ears that hear and eyes that see that they need God.  Place no limits on God today, then you will free yourself from any bondage to unforgiveness to sin.

Prayer of the heart is not selfish and self-giving.

Its motives are not selfish.

Prayer of the heart is in the will of God.

It is truthful with no deceit.

Prayer of the heart is answered quickly for it rejoices the heart of God to answer it.

Prayer of the heart allows God to answer however he wills.
 Prayer of the heart is a surrendered heart.

Prayer of the heart is willing to follow the perfect will of the Father.

Prayer of the heart is from a humble heart.

Prayer of the heart is a blameless heart.

LOVE

Love is beyond feelings.

Love sees all and knows all and still chooses mercy.

Love rejoices even when you sorrow.

Love reaches out even when you have been hurt.

Love does not count the pain or the inconvenience.

Love restores, rebuilds and renews where destruction has been caused by lack of love.

Anger, bitterness and unforgiveness:  all these things are
because of lack of love.

Love is the healer where there is no hope.

Love is not afraid for it knows its source.

Love never fails.

Love is unending.

You can never love too much.

Love is a gift that only multiplies when it is given.
