My dear little children, praise be Jesus! I am your Mother of Joy, who so desires you to live in the world in peace, though peace does not exist, since there is division. There is division because of the conflict, which exists on the on the world values in the world. My little, little children, do not alter you standards of following the Gospel in order to satisfy the needs of others. Never deviate from the truth of His Word. You do not please Him by jeopardizing your freedom living deceitful ways of life. The only way to freedom is by living the truth outlined by my Son. He has given you His Word. You cannot change His words and live dishonest lives and see that peace exists. There is only one way. That way is the way of my Son in His Word in the Gospel. He is your God. There is only one God. I plead with you that you hold fast to His Word, not to deviate from the stance on truth or you will suffer tremendously at the hands of man. I love you, my little ones, and bless you. I desire you to be happy and free. You must return to God and the truth of His Word. Killings of all sorts, greed, abuse, selfishness, anger, malice, dishonesty, adultery, and other sexual disgraces self-induced; those of children, men and women, are vices which prevent your freedom. Reconcile your sins and live in His truth. Thank you for responding to my call. Ad Deum.

My dear little children, praise be Jesus! My little ones, know you are children of God. Seek to follow the ways of Christian perfection, and walk away from the ways of wickedness. God loves you. Trust in God and follow His ways. The challenges and enticements of life is all the shortcomings without the love and hope in God. Do not turn your heart away from God. Hope in Him. During these times where God is unveiling His mercy, you need to be strong in the gift of His faith, and be secure in His hope. You must not sway in your decision to be a child of God. Don't be ashamed to follow His truth, when confronted with controversial topics and moral values. You must hope and trust in God. You must speak the truth of His word. It is your only security. If you seek to please man, while avoiding the truth of God, outlined in His word of the Gospel, then you will jeopardize your freedom and position of obtaining eternal bliss at the time of you final judgment before Him. I bless you, my little ones, in the name of Jesus. Thank you for responding to my call.

My dear ones, I am with you again this night to remind you that I come under the title of Jesus of Mercy, not justice. I wish to give you My mercy. My dear ones, I ask you to accept the wish to give you My mercy in your life, for none of you could withstand the justice of My Father. Now is the time of mercy. I encourage you to respond to this gift. Come to Me with all of your heart, and I will heal you and forgive you, and comfort you. My mercy is for you and for all, who will allow this gift to be in their hearts. My Father is not stingy with this gift He gives to you through Me. In turn, My dear ones, I encourage you to be generous in your mercy toward others. Interlock My mercy with your mercy. Look again at each other and see the dear child of God, which each of you is. I bless you this night with My peace. I take from you this night your fear. I love you with My mercy this night.

My dear little children, praise be Jesus! Thank-you, my little ones, for inviting me to be with you. Thanks be to God, who has allowed me to come in His name. Tonight, my little ones, I have two requests. First, I ask you to unite with me in prayer for my beloved priests, who are loyal to my Son, and who suffer tremendously. Their pain is endless, because of their loyalty. Pray for them especially during these times of uncertainty and troubles. I love my priests. Join me please in prayer. Secondly, my little children, I must tell you not to trust in deceitful words. If you focus on Jesus, trust in Him. Abandon yourself unto Him. Practice His words and truths. You will not be deceived, but live healthy, joyful lives. Change is needed, not only in words, but in action. Give unconditionally, simply and lovingly to others, without seeking reward or consolation for your efforts. Wickedness, must be replaced with ways of holiness. If change is not accomplished, then the time will come that your sorrow will result in the hands of wicked disposition, which will be_________. I bless you, my little ones. I love you and take your petitions to my Son. Thank you for your prayers for peace and thank you for responding to my call. Peace.

My dear ones, I come to you this night to make again a request. Stay close to Me. Come near Me. You need My protection more than you know. Try not to stray and be deluded and disheartened by transitory happiness. My dear ones, the further you are from Me, the weaker you become and the more a prey you to the evil one. Stay close to Me. I am you strength. My Father has given Me to you and I have laid down My life for you. Stay close and allow Me to be your strength and your protection. I love you and it saddens Me when you hurt yourself by allowing temptations to overcome you. My dear, dear ones, please do not think that you can walk this journey alone, Do not think that you can take on the evil one by yourself. Stay close to Me, then fear will leave you. Be embraced by My peace. This peace I give you this night, along with My healing mercy. I am with you always. Be with Me always.

March 17, 1994

My dear children, praise be Jesus! My little ones, you continue to pray that the will of God be done in your lives. Doing the will of God with all the problems. If you are religious, then being obedient to your superiors is doing the will of the Father. If you are as superior, praying for discernment, then use prudence and love. If you are married, then be obedient to each other as spouses in the Sacrament of Marriage, and teach your children to love and follow the way of truth outlined in my Son's word in the Gospel. If you are single, live pure, holy lives consecrated to God. Be honest and treat others with dignity. Help the poor and elderly and the young, and if you have been blessed with resources of wealth, intellect, management skills and graces to help His needy then unite together and give to His less fortunate. They suffer as representation of the humiliated Jesus. Protect my unborn through love and unity. Teach my youth and unite all your resources in harmony. Help my Son in His mission of mercy. It is the way to peace. Peace cannot exist if there is no change in moral values and impunity. I continue to plead to God for His mercy and love. There is no time like the present to commence these activities. Prayer and love will restrain His hand of punishment from the lack of love. It is the only way. He is your God, the same God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. If you implore His mercy and love, all can be mitigated, for everything is contingent on prayer. Thank you for responding to my call. Peace.

My dear ones, I am here with you this night to encourage you to live in faith the words that I speak to you, the words that are truly of My Father, the words that will resonate within your very heart. Live these words. Live this faith and be the example in the light to those I send to you. My dear ones, faith in not knowledge. Faith is believing the words of someone else. Believe the words that I speak they will give you eternal life. They will give you peace. They will give you My strength. Come to Me, and I will refresh you. Come to Me, and I will heal you. Come to Me and receive the forgiveness that is yours. My dear ones, do not wander aimlessly away from Me. Keep close to Me. I will give you life. I bless you this night with the peace of My Father and of Our Holy Spirit. Take courage, My dear ones. Take courage.

My dear little children, praise be Jesus! I am your Mother of Joy, bringing to you the joy of my Son, your Jesus, your Savior. My little ones, you are seeking God, but He is everywhere. Everything speaks of Him to you. Everything offers Him to you. He surrounds you. He walks with you and He is within you. He is your living God. He lives with you, and yet you are trying to seek Him. This is because you are seeking your own idea of God. even though you have Him in reality. My little children, love God as He is. You are straining after vain imaginations of who God is, and are not allowing Him to dwell with you. Do you not see that all you do, all you suffer, and all you embellish daily are the mysteries under which God gives Himself to you? Put aside your falsehoods, the sweet enticements of the world, and live in His truth. Accept daily His living presence of love through all you encounter, all you do, and everything that surrounds you. His divine perfection of design is for you. Live fully to the best of your ability in His love. Do not miss the moment, because of false imaginations. I thank His Blessed Name for allowing me to be with you. It is because of His love and divine mercy. Thank you for responding to my call.

OUR LADY'S MESSAGE through Gianna Talone

APRIL 7, 1994

"My dear children, praise be Jesus! I would like all of you to know that the living God's love may seem to be a mystery but will not remove you from the gift of your humanness. The mystery of His love allows you the freedom to be the human being He created. God loves you as you are. Please first recognize His love for you in your humanness. That is how you are brought to fulfillment and union in the Triune God. Please be who you are and live in God's love. Live life in God, for God and love one another in god and for God. "Keep in mind my words to you on moral values, deception and purity. Peace cannot exist as long as killings of all sorts continue and ways of demoralization occur. You are all called to live a perfection of love through purity, fidelity and wholeness. Please heed my words of truth for there will be no choice other than to live a time of great difficulty. This difficult time is extremely close to being unveiled and will be a result of my Son's Mercy. Begin gathering necessary resources now to sustain you in living the way of love. I wish for all my children to have a time of preparation and opportunity to choose life through His love. Peace and love little children. Thank you for having responded to my call. Ad Deum.

OUR LORD'S MESSAGE given through Fr. Jack Spaulding:

"My dear ones, I come to you now as I came to my Apostles after My Father raised Me from death to life, to give you the same gift I gave them - the gift of My peace, and My mercy, and My healing for each of you this night. I rejoice in the gift of My Father and His love for Me. I give that love this night to you. My mercy is with you. As My Father has loved Me and I have loved Him, we love you. I give you again this night the joy of My Resurrection which I share with you, you who are My disciples, you who follow the word of My Father. Be joyful, my dear ones, and cast fear and sadness from your heart. By the grace of My Father I have overcome death and sin. I give you new life. Take courage in Me! Take courage in Me!"

APRIL 14, 1994

My dear little children, praise be Jesus! My little ones, so many of my children are scattered instead of joining together in prayer. The commitment to prayer I invited you to, is life-long. It cannot be temporary or only in the time of need. Do you not see that through the gift of prayer, you are able to express the many virtues my Son graces you with? Prayer is simple, but I cannot help you unless you take on the commitment, as I have invited you to several times. It is a daily commitment of time to be with my Son, desiring change and challenge. It is listening to openness. My Son speaks to all, even in silence. My little, little children, realize how patient my Son is with you. Please, how many warnings have I presented throughout the ages, that have been softened or even mitigated, because of prayer? Respond and my Son is patient. Take seriously my call to prayer, to unity, and to change. Perhaps you have become too comfortable with my presence. Please recognize the gift He has given to you by allowing me to be here and PLEASE RESPOND. It is because of my Son's mercy and love for you. Do not neglect Him or take lightly His request, for the time will arrive quickly, when you will wish to hear my words and will no longer. My Son loves you. please do not become lax in prayer. Please live His words to the best of your ability. Please, please, please pray with all your heart. Peace. Thank you for responding to my call.

My dear ones, know that I come in love this night to you as you celebrate My Resurrection in your heart. I encourage you to listen to the truth. Listen to Our Holy Spirit speaking to your heart. Listen to My Living Word in the Scriptures, and be permeated with the truth with Myself in the Eucharist. The truth, My dear ones, it will sometimes be very difficult for you to listen to, for it will require of you change. It will require of you abandonment. It will require of you true humility. Know that I speak the truth of My Father to all, and this truth touches each person's heart, but it is up to each one to respond or not. I ask you this night to listen to the truth and to respond. There are many who disguise their lies with half-truths. My dear ones, you need not be afraid of these people. I encourage you simply to come before Me in My Most Blessed Sacrament. There you will know what is true and what is false. Know that your Risen Lord, know that I am with you in a very special way during these days. Take advantage of this time, My dear ones. I bless you this night with My peace and with My Mercy. Know that I take you, each of you, to My heart in Love.

My dear little children, praise be Jesus! My little ones, please surrender to my Son. If you would surrender unto His mercy, in your misery, you would see His wondrous works unveil. My words are simple and I wish to help you be happy and free, but you need to surrender and trust God. If you are miserable, then the opportunity to surrender to my Son's mercy exists at this present moment. Do not delay. The wonders of God will unfold before you, and you all can live in the glory of God in harmony. But if you do not lay your miseries at the foot of the cross, embracing who you are and your need for His mercy, you will continue to live in a world of division and destruction. Call on Jesus. Call on His mercy. Surrender to His mercy. Trust in Him and see the wonders of God unfold. There is no time such as the present, to accept God's mercy. Please, children, accept God's merciful love through surrendering and trusting in Him. Thank you for responding to my call.

My dear little children, praise be Jesus! My little ones, you are so consumed with the fear of my authenticity, that you are failing to see how the Lord in His humility has allowed me to be here with you. Focus on Jesus in the Eucharist and trust in Him. Fear God that you might not offend Him with self-pride and self-righteousness. Be humble. Love Him. Implore His mercy. Adore Him in the Most Blessed Sacrament, but do not fear whether you are being deceived in trying to authenticate my presence. I belong to God. You belong to God. Remember a house not of God will divide itself. Put your fears to rest and hope in the Resurrected Christ. There is no time for fear. There is time for change. You are all novices in the knowledge of His most merciful love. Remove yourself and allow my Son to be your God. Remove the idolatry you have formed of your- self and placed higher than He. He is your God and I have been allowed to come here to implore you to focus on Him. Trust Him and return back to Him. Thank you for responding to my call.

My dear ones, I come to you this night to warn you against pride. Pride wars against My very presence within you. My dear ones, I encourage you this night to follow the example that I have set for you, and My mother has set for you. Beware of spiritual pride. Know with all your hearts, My dear ones, that without the love of My Father, you could do nothing. My dear ones, in humility, honesty before God, you will please Him. In humility, you will honor Him. Through humility, you will attract others to Him. My dear ones, please know that I can truly walk with you only when you are humble. When you are full of pride, you walk alone. Come to Me. Learn from Me. Listen to Me. You will be pleasing to My Father. I bless you this night, My dear ones, with the grace to open you eyes to see the ways in which you walk in pride. I give you also the strength to now walk humbly with your God.

My dear children, praise be Jesus! My little, little, children, pray that God's mercy may make you clean and turn you away from your sinful ways. You are little children acting as if you are all delegated and powerful in God's love. Return to God in little bits and depend on Him to lead you. Pray before Him in the Most Blessed Sacrament for truth in your deceitful ways, so that you will be able to repent in humility and be made whole. My son loves you and I wish to help you and save you from walking towards the life of human destruction . Allow me to bring you to you my Son. Allow me to present your beauty of a child. In order to do this you must humbly submit to changing your deceitful ways of power, reputation, and acceptance of man. Success to your glory, to that which belongs to God. Return to God and at all costs seek to be obedient to Him. Only those who risk even a chance of hardship for God, and obedience of following the truth of His Word, are true banners in His army of love. It is time to put into action your love for Him. You must be willing to give everything up for God.

My dear little children, praise be Jesus! My little ones, if you have knowledge of salvation, you would be free from fear and from your enemies. The Holy Spirit, through His gift of charity, gives you understanding and knowledge. He enlightens you to rejoice in God. He sanctifies you. Those who live in the Holy Spirit, live in gratitude for graces received. I desire to help you and intercede for you, but you must listen to my words and respond to my call. Currently the vast majority of my children, whom I desire to help, are hearing only what they choose to hear. Please listen to all my words of truth. You cannot only recognize my plea, but must respond through acceptance of my word and live in them. I tell you again, little ones, you must be willing to risk all for love of God. My Son freed you by giving all to God for love of you. He has given everything to you. He has provided for you, but now you are not willing to give back to God what He has given to you, because you are slaves of fear and do not trust my Son. How can I help you, if you select the words I speak which you choose to hear? Listen, little children. Listen to my motherly call, and respond. Do not be afraid to give yourself totally to God. He will always provide for you and fill you with joy. Do not be slaves to fear and materialism. If you give yourself unconditionally to my Son, you will allow me to be a Mother, who will provide the best for Her children. Peace, little ones. Thank you for responding to my call.

My dear ones, as I come to you this night through the grace of God Our Father, I extend My mercy to you. I invite you now in the quiet of your heart to answer this question, the question that I asked the blind beggar long ago. As I ask this question of you, and as you answer in your heart, I assure you, I am listening as I listened to him. So I ask each of you, "What do you wish Me to do for you?" (long...long...pause) As I said to him so long ago, I say to each of you this night, you may leave this place in My peace, your faith is making you whole. My mercy, My dear ones, is the gift that I give to you. It is through my mercy, and through you being merciful to others, that you will be healed from that which is keeping you from Me. Know that I am with you, that I wish you to be whole, and that I love you. Live in my peace.

My dear little children, praise be Jesus who love you! Praise be to the Father who loves you! Praise be to the Holy Spirit who loves and feeds your soul! My little ones, you must dive into my most Immaculate Heart IMMEDIATELY! I wish for you all to be consecrated to my Immaculate Heart and to be safe and free! Please little ones. I can no longer hold back the hand of my Son from the sorrow incurred on His Sacred Heart. Little, little children, you are not listening to my words. You are not living my messages. Do you not see how I desire to help you? There are few who trust in God. There are few living in His faith. Please, little children, I urgently ask you to head my call. Adore Jesus in the most Blessed Sacrament. Pray to the Father and trust in His most tender Love. I love you, little ones and I have given you many messages to assist you in knowing His truth. Live the messages and pray you will not be tested but free and happy. I bless you, little children, and thank you for responding to my call.

My dear little children, praise be Jesus! Thank-you for coming to pray with reverence for God who awaits you in love, and is the giver of all that is good. God in His mercy and fidelity will not forsake you. He is the lover of all that is good. He is your creator. He is love. Little children, you also must love and have a mutual love for one another. You are the heirs to His inheritance. Be sincere, and love one another with mutual affection. Look to do good, not evil. Be patient with each other's failings, and live in harmony with one another. It is in God alone that you become victorious. That is why I invite you, little children, to turn to God in child-like ways and to pray and to live in His merciful love, and have a mutual affection to one another. Please do not try the patience of others. You all must share in the gift of patience and self-denial to be sole heirs of God's righteousness. My children, you know to pray. Do not delay. Take initiative in God's grace and pray, especially my little ones. Please pray, little children, every day for your parents, family, and for peace. The little children shall be instruments of salvation and prayer, the Rosary, and love. Do not rejoice over the failings of others, but in meekness and in love show mercy. Rejoice in what is good, not what is evil. Pray. Blessings of God, my little ones. Peace and thank you for responding to my call.

Message from OUR LORD Given THROUGH Fr. Jack Spaulding

My dear ones, I come to you this night as your Lord and Savior to speak to your heart, to say to you, how often you take upon yourselves yokes and burdens, which are not the ones that I ask you to bear. My dear ones, you are scattered within yourselves. Come back to Me. Listen to what I speak to your heart. This will give you comfort and peace. Then go and do what I ask. The anxiety that you have, is never from Me. It occurs, my dear ones, when you take upon yourself those things which I have not asked you to. This night I ask each of you to come humbly before Me and to repent of your pride to repent of those times in which you did not listen, those times in which you did not come to Me before you acted. Present all of this to Me, those who have been hurt, if you have sustained because you have been carrying burdens and yokes which are not of Me. My dear ones, when I ask you to carry a burden, I am there to carry it with you. My yoke chafes only when you go from Me and try to do on your own, what you decide to do. Come back to Me, so that you may be renewed in joy and in peace. I bless you my dear ones, this night again with my merciful love. Listen to Me.

OUR LADY'S MESSAGE :

My dear children, I, your Mother of Joy, come to plead with you to love. My dear children, you must be like little children in your love for one another. There is far too much hatred among men. I ask you to love one another unconditionally. So not only listen, but hear. Please, my dear ones, it is only love that will save. Love is the greatest virtue. I continue to thank God for allowing me to come here to be with you. Please now be grateful to my Son who loves you and graces you. Please, please, love one another. Thank you for responding to this call of my Son.

OUR LORD'S MESSAGE THROUGH FR. JACK:

My dear ones, I come to you this night to tell you again that you are never alone, that I am with you. I AM ALWAYS WITH YOU! I see, my dear ones, how discouraged you become in your weakness. I, Your Lord, tell you that I am not saddened by your weakness. I am saddened by your sin. I can take you in your weakness, but I can not take you in your sin, because you turn from Me. Please do not turn from Me. Turn to Me in your weakness so that I can comfort you. Your sin keeps you from Me in your weakness. Be embarrassed by your sin., not by your weakness. Realize, my dear ones, that I, Your Lord, love you. Come to Me in your weakness. I will heal you. Do not be overburdened. I will carry your burden. I give you my strength (Fr. Jack's hands extend out and up). I give you my love. If you accept these gifts, you will not be overcome by your weakness, and your sin will be washed away. I AM WITH YOU!

(Also read at Scottsdale same date)

My dear little children, praise be Jesus! Little ones, I thank you for your prayers for your country and I ask you to continue to pray for your country and my beloved Pope. I invite all the little, little children to be consecrated to My Immaculate Heart to pray every day with their friends and families. There is so much that can be mitigated through prayer. Pray for peace in the world, in your families and in your souls. My Son has tremendous love for you and does not wish for you to live in turmoil. He desires peace. Peace can exist through prayer and love but it is necessary that you respond in action. Please respond by being the fabric of His love. Response to my call of love and mercy through unity, prayer, penance, and fasting are important factors which can ward off wars and spoken chastisements. I desire to help you all my children of this world but you must allow me by responding to my Son's plea. He has outlined the path of truth. Give to my Son all your pain and all that you held bound in your heart. Turn to Him. You can be free in God's Love. I bless you little ones and know I am here to bring you hope. Please respond to my call. I take your petitions to my Son's Most Sacred Heart. Peace. AD DEUM.
