"My dear ones, on this Feast of My Presentation, I come to you to give you an invitation. I invite you to follow My example, and to allow My Mother to present you to God as she presented Me. What a great service she provided for Me when I was helpless, when in My humanity I could not present Myself. She took Me in her loving arms, carried Me to the temple, and did for Me what I was unable to do. My dear ones, so often because of your weakness, because so often you are overcome by so much sin, oftentimes that you are not even aware because your hearts are numb. In those times allow My mother to take you in her loving arms and to do for you what you cannot. Allow her to present you to God. I love My mother and I thank God for her who did for Me what I could not do. She is your mother, I gave her to you. Allow her, my dear ones, to present you to God and in that offering of yourself you will then be given what you need, through her intercession, in her loving arms. I bless you this night and I give to you, each of you, a greater love for her who has given all to God. If this world would allow her she would present the whole world to God. Peace, my dear ones. I love you."

"My dear ones, I ask each of you this night what I asked My disciples, "Who do you say that I am?", but I ask you, my dear ones, in another way this night. Does your attitude tell the world who I am for you? My dear ones, I thank you for your response, but I ask you to increase your effort in changing your attitudes, in changing your preconceptions. I ask you to stop judging others. I ask you, My dear ones, to stop judging your God. Allow My Father to do His will within you and within the world. Allow Him to be God. Allow Me to be your Savior and allow Our Holy Spirit to live within you. To do this you need the gift of simplicity not only in your material life but most importantly, My dear ones, in your spiritual life."

"I encourage you this night to continue to come before Me in my Blessed Sacrament and learn what simplicity is for you. I bless you, My dear ones. I give you the grace of My mercy and My love. Be at peace and become children of My Father in your simplicity."

"My dear ones, I come to you this night to ask you to live in simplicity. But My dear ones, it is not a worldly simplicity that I speak or simplicity in material things. I ask you who come here to pray to be simple in your prayer, to be simple in your relationship with Me. I ask you, My dear ones, to come before Me to listen to Me speak to your heart, to allow Our Holy Spirit to fill you. As you allow this, then you will not go running after complicated spirituality. You will speak simply to Me within your heart. You will pray simply to Me. I encourage you, My dear ones, to look again at My Mother, whom I have given to you. Imitate the simplicity of her prayer. In simplicity you will find peace. I bless you, My dear ones, with My love and My mercy and the grace of My healing."

"My dear ones, I, your Lord, come to you this night inviting you to choose life. My dear ones, do not lose your soul. When you choose sin you choose death. My dear ones, through My passion and death, I freed you. Stay free, My dear ones. Use each moment to choose life; listen to My words of life; to live as I ask, as My Father asks, as our Holy Spirit breathes into your heart. Do not choose death. Do not choose to sin any longer. I know you in yourselves are weak, but the power of My Father through Our Holy Spirit is your strength, as it was My strength in My humanity.
"I bless you this night, My dear ones, with the strength that you need to choose life. Look at Me and not at yourself. Receive My peace this night and the love of My heart."

"My dear little children, I am with you this night, I who am your mother, to remind you that I will take care of you. I will embrace you. My dear ones, I will love you with all my heart. Do not run away from me, or from my Son, Jesus, looking for comfort, or love, or consolation in this world. My dear dear children, this world is passing away. I ask you to allow me to love you, to lead you to my Son, as I have said before, Am I not here who am your Mother? Are you not in the folds of my garment, in the crossing of my arms? Am I not the cause of your joy? Is there anything else you need? My dear ones, my dear little children, please believe what I have said to you, and what I say to you this night. Wait, wait on my Son. He is coming, and I am sent to you to prepare you. Hold on to me. When you are frightened, when you are lonely, I will bring you to Him. and my love will fill your heart. In the name of my Son Jesus, in the name of God the Father, in the name of my spouse, the Holy Spirit, I ask God's blessing upon you tonight. I love you. Be strong. Don't give up. Be strong."

"My dear ones,........ I come to you this night.....to remind you....that you do.. hear my voice........you can hear it within your heart..........and if you do not hear it....then your heart ..is hardened. .........
"I say to you,..as was said before..."Harden not your heart."..........Take your heart...to My Mother...and allow Her, with Her love, to soften..your heart......then you will hear Me again. ........
"My dear ones.....I love you....and I draw you near to Me...as a shepherd draws his sheep .........You will recognize my voice....listen to My call...and follow Me.... ...There is no need to fear. ..... I am with you. .......During these penitential days...offer....to God, Our Father,.... your very life. ........
"Know ... that ... He will give you ... Eternal Life. ...... The sufferings .. of this world ... are truly, My dear ones, ..nothing.....compared to the joy .. of Eternal Life. ......
"I bless you this night ..... with My mercy ... and My peace.......... Listen to Me."

"My Dear Ones, I come to you this night in the glory of My Resurrection. I come quietly into your heart. Know that I am with you on every step of the way with your own cross. Know that I am with you with your suffering, for you it is still your passion.
"Never be so overcome with pain and sorrow that you forget the hope that I have given to you and My Father has given to you. I am your hope as you come closer to me. As you come closer to me you will no longer look at your suffering.
"There is nothing in this world that can take you from me unless you choose to be taken from me.
"Do not look at yourself.... Do not be overcome by your sin or anguish. I have conquered sin, pain and anguish. I take you this night into My resurrected Heart.
"Experience this moment through the healing of My Mercy, the joy of My presence and the hope of new life.
"I give all My peace this night and I Bless you as always. Through My Cross and through your crosses will come your resurrection.
"I love you and am with you always."

(Please note that the text is from Cheryl Ortel's personal notes and she said it may not be 100% verbatim. His voice was very soft as He spoke. Jesus spoke through Fr. Jack Spaulding's during the homily of the Mass following the prayer cenacle. This is only the second time this has happened outside his own parish.)

"My dear ones, I ask you this night to listen and to trust Me. My Father and I, and Our Holy Spirit hear your prayers. You present your needs to us but then, my dear ones, you don't trust that We hear you. I tell you again this night, your ways are not Our ways and your thoughts are not the thoughts of God. I love you; My Father loves you; Our Holy Spirit is with you. Trust Us! Know that I am with you. Your prayers are heard. "Allow me, My dear ones, to save you, to work out through you and within you, your good. Have you forgotten that My Father has carved each of you on the palm of His Hand? You are not forgotten. My dear ones, do not be sad and do not despair. I am your hope. I hear you. Although you may not be able to see, I see. Although you may not be able to understand -- trust. I have your good in My Heart. "I embrace you this night, each of you, and encourage you to listen to Me and to trust Me. I bless you with My grace and with My mercy."

"My dear ones, I come to you this night to say again as I said to My disciples so long ago - I am the Bread of Life! As you receive Me in My Most Holy Eucharist you become one with Me, and as you become one with Me, you become one with the Father and Our Holy Spirit. We wish to nourish you, My dear ones. Thank you for allowing Us to nourish you; thank you for your adoration; thank you for believing in the reality of Myself within the Eucharist. I tell you it is true what you believe. I am truly present, and when I am present, My Father and Our Spirit are also there. My dear one, stand firm in your belief. I Am who I say I Am.

"This night I bless you with courage. I strengthen your belief and I say to you your belief is not in vain. You see now with the eyes of faith. Wait - - you will see more! I draw all people to Myself in the Eucharist. This is the true miracle of My presence among you. This is how much I love you! "

(Father Jack's arms are outstretched, then lowered slowly with palms facing congregation).

My dear ones, I come to you this night to invite you to live in My love. To do this, you not only follow My command, but listen to Me speaking to your heart. The new command is love, which means eventually laying down your life. Do you love Me enough to lay down your life? The way you are living now will begin to live in the way I will lead you. If you are ready, I will lead you, and there will be My joy within you. My dear ones, I ask you to allow Me to lead you, to lead you in ways that you do not understand. In order for you to do this, you need to trust Me; and so this night I bless you, each of you, with the gift of My mercy, and the gift of trust. Know that you are not alone. Know that I am with you. Peace, My dear ones, peace.

My dear ones, this night I come to remind you as My Father reminded Joseph of old that God's ways and plans are not yours. Know that We are with you always, that you are truly loved, and that what may in your sight be tragedy, or defeat, or failure, we can use and do use for good. What you need is trust. I am with you, My Father is with you, and Our Holy Spirit is with you always. Allow Our reign, Our Kingdom to grow within you and be dependent upon Us. I know, my loved ones, that My way is not the way of the world and it is not easy for you. I give you My strength this night to continue on the narrow path, I give you My hope and My encouragement to look toward the Resurrection within you each day; and I give you My mercy and My healing as you go each day through your own passion and death. I love you, my dear ones, and I bless you this night giving you My peace.

My dear ones I come to you this night, your Lord and Savior, to remind you that I speak to you clearly. I have not spoken to you here in parables. I speak to you always the truth in simple language, but not in parables. My dear ones I ask you this night to again listen to what I have said. To read what I have said in the past, to read again. I have said what I have said as a help to you. Your relationship with God Our Father and with Me, your Savior and with Our Holy Spirit does not have to be a complicated one. You at times complicate Our relationship and so I say again listen to My plain words. There is nothing hidden. Listen to your heart and put into action what I have said. This will bring you salvation. This will bring you eternal joy with Me. My dear ones, I want a simple relationship with you. Allow that to take place know that I love you and that I will never stop speaking to your heart in words that you will understand. I bless you this night with My mercy and My peace.

OUR LORD'S MESSAGE given through Father Jack Spaulding

"My dear ones, I want to teach you as I taught My disciples.....and so I invite you to come to Me, to listen within your heart as I speak the truth to you. My dear ones, when you sin, it is not I who leave you. It is you who leave Me. I am not put-off by your sinfulness. I love you, and wish to forgive you, and to heal you, but so often I see when you sin, you run from Me. You are afraid. My dear ones, do not be afraid of Me. I died for you. I love you. Why do you fear Me? Come to Me when you have sinned so that I can forgive you, and heal you, and strengthen you. With all My heart this night, I say again I love you. I love you. I give you My blessing of peace and of strength this night, so that you may not be overcome by your sinfulness. Listen to Me as I speak the truth to your heart."

OUR LORD'S MESSAGE given thru Fr. Jack Spaulding

"My dear ones, I come to you again this night as I came to those so long ago in Matthew's house. I come again to remind you that I wish to give you My mercy. My dear ones, I ask for your honesty. Admit that you need My mercy. Admit that you are sinners, and in that admission, your hearts will be open again to receive the healing that I wish to give you. My dear ones, you still want both a relationship with Me and to be peaceful in this world. My dear ones, you cannot have both. Choose! You choose by the way you live your life, My dear ones, please listen to Me and not to the voices of this world. I encourage you to be faithful even through your sinfulness. I love you. I have given My life for you. I have allowed My blood to be spilled for you. Allow Me to save you. I bless you this night with the greatest of My peace. My peace, not the peace that the world gives, and My peace, My dear ones, will shake the very roots of your soul."

"My dear ones, I come this night to tell you once again that I am with you always........I am with you in each moment of your day.........I am with you in the most silent moments of your heart......You are never alone...There is nothing to fear for I am with you...At times.....My dear ones....you lose track of Who I am....Come to Me in My Most Blessed Sacrament...and listen...as I tell your heart, once again, who I am. I am the One who died for you. I am the One who was nailed to the cross and hung there for you. I love you.......and I tell each of you....this night...as I speak to your heart, I would do it again to save you. I love you.......Allow Me to love you....... I am here.....I bless you this night with the mercy of My love and I take each of you as you are this night in My embrace....as I bring you into My heart........................ (Long Pause) Be healed, My dear ones.......I will it....Be healed!"

"My dear ones, just as I sent My disciples of old out into the world, so this night I send you. I commission you with this same commission of love, but I say to you this night, before you go out into the whole world, go first to your little ones, to your family, to your friends, to those whom I send into your life each day and preach by your example this good news. Know also, My dear ones, that I will be with you as you go. It is true, also, that this day that I send you as My lambs among wolves. You have nothing to fear. Live and speak My truth to them. Trust that I and My Father and Our Holy Spirit will do the rest. This night, My dear ones, I strengthen your heart. I strengthen you with the gift of courage to be My disciples and I bless you with My love and with the grace of My Mercy. Speak of My Mercy to those to whom I send you and be open, My dear ones, to travel far, perhaps not in miles for most of you, but be ready to travel far into the depths of your heart, where I am. Peace be with you. I am with you."

"My dear ones, I come this night to remind you, each of you, that Our Father listens to you as He listened and listens to Me. I came to tell you that God was your Father, and I say it again to you this night, here in this place. You have a Father. You are not orphaned. You have a Father who loves you, who has loved you so much that He sent Me to you to tell you of His love, and of His mercy, and of His forgiveness, of His healing.

So I remind you this night, of His great love for you. Allow Him, My dear ones, to touch your heart. I say to you as I said many years ago, ask with an open heart and you will receive knowledge with an open mind, and all those things that have caused you doubt or worry will have the light of Our Holy Spirit shed upon them. Seek with a merciful heart, and My dear ones, you will find more than you could ever hope for. My Father again sent Me to you. This, My dear ones, is His mercy again to you. I am your Jesus of God's mercy. I bless you with My peace, and I grace you with mercy. You are the children of God. You have nothing to fear. Be at peace, My dear ones. I am here and I go with you."

My dear ones, this night I bring you My peace and My serenity for your soul, and for your heart, and for your mind. I assure you this night that you now are already living within My Kingdom, because I have placed the seed of My Kingdom within you. As you respond to My invitation to come closer to Me, My Kingdom grows within you. Please, My dear ones, be assured of this and as you allow My Kingdom to grow within you My peace will overflow from you to others. You will be full of My joy. You will be instruments of My hope for this world. Do not be disturbed. I am with you now. I will be with you always as I promised, so there is nothing to fear. My dear ones, this is true wisdom to believe in Me, to allow My Father and Our Spirit to dwell within you. This is truly living in the Kingdom of God, and know this, if you do not live with My Kingdom within you here, you will never know My Kingdom in heaven. I give you this night My peace and the serenity of your soul. Know that you are beloved not only of Me, but of My Father and of Our Holy Spirit. Walk in the way of My Kingdom. I love you. I love you and I am with you. Do not fear."

"My dear children, I am here who am you Mother. Children, by the Grace of God, I am the new Eve. Through the gracious mercy of Him, I was chosen. Through His love and Divine Providence, I was kept safe from the stain of sin from the very first moment of my life. My dear children, I give glory to God for the very first moment of my life. My dear children, I give glory to God for that great gift, and I ask you this night to join me in gratitude to our God for that gift through which the world received my Son, the Savior, the Messiah, the Son of God. Give thanks with me this night for that gift of all gifts, Jesus; because of Him, dear children, I am your Mother. He has given me to you and you to me. Come to me. Allow me to love you, allow me to take you to my Son and into the Heart of God. His mercy, my dear children, is truly without end. I love you. I love you with all my Heart. I will never abandon you. I am with you always, because my Son has given me to you. In my very being, I proclaim this faithfulness to Him. I thank you, my dear little ones, my dearest children, for praying, for your faithfulness. I ask you this night, do not forget me. I fear, if you forget me, you will go far from my Son. By the grace of God, many of you have listened to me and allowed me to bring (you) to my Son Jesus. Allow this to happen again. Begin again with me this night, to glorify God, with all of you heart, with all of your soul, with all of your mind, with all of your strength. I pray for you, my dear ones. I love you. You are my children, and I , thanks to God, am your Mother. I call you, each of you, not only to my Heart this night, but I present you to the Heart of my Son, to my spouse the Holy Spirit, to God our Father. Praise Him with me. Peace be with you. Thank you for listening and for responding to the call of my Son."

"My dear ones, I come to you this night to remind you that My Kingdom, the Kingdom of My Father, is within your touch, within the reach of your heart. It is alive in your heart, if you allow it to grow in there. My dear ones, I know of the many distractions that each of you suffer, those things that tend to pull you away and not to allow you to focus on My Kingdom. Know, My dear ones, that there are many, many kingdoms, but there is only One Kingdom established by My Father. It is not an illusive Kingdom. It is truly made for everyone. Sad to say, many choose the other kingdoms. During this Holy Season, allow not only Myself to be reborn, but allow God's Kingdom to come alive within you, the Kingdom of peace and justice, the Kingdom of love, mercy and peace, the Kingdom of joy and of hope. My dear ones, come to Me and I will lead you into God's Kingdom. I bless you this night with the gift of mercy and peace. Be joyful, My dear ones, and know that I am with you. I am Emmanuel."
