[1]Dear children, beloved of mine, what I desire from you is obedience.  Obedience to say the rosary.  Obedience for receiving all the graces given to you.  Remember that you cannot receive everlasting joy if it were not for my Son.  My Son is so greatly disturbed, for so many have not been obedient to our Father's Commands.  His Commands are those of freedom.  Freedom to worship Him and give Him glory.  What gains a man if he is free in this world but a slave to his heart and to sin?

My children, pray as I ask: 

"Holy Father you who art in heaven, be merciful to us, your servants, who are also sons and daughters of all that is promised to those who keep his commandments.  Be merciful to those who do not.

"We pray thee that, through our petitions and prayers, your love may shine over all of those for whom we pray...that our petitions may be made worthy by your Son, Jesus' blood and covenant with us.

"We pray for this through the most Sacred Hearts of Jesus and our Mother.  Amen."
