"Pray more and more.
Pray together with me, through the recitation of the holy rosary.
Pray and do penance that the times be shortened, and that the greatest possible number of my children may be eternally saved.
Pray that suffering may serve to convert all those who have strayed far from God.
Pray that you may never doubt the love of the Father, who always watches over you and provides for you, and makes use of suffering as a means of healing you from sickness of corruption, of infidelity, of rebellion, of impurity, of atheism.
I now ask you for more prayer.
Multiply your cenacles of prayer.
Multiply your rosaries, recited well and in union with me. Offer me also your suffering and your penance.
I ask you for prayer and penance for the conversion of sinners, that even my most rebellious and most distant children may return to God, who awaits them with the merciful eagerness of a Father.
And then, together we will form a great net of love that will envelop and save the whole world.
Thus my motherly and supreme intervention can be extended everywhere, for the salvation of all who have gone astray."
--Our Lady Speaks to Her Beloved Priests (1987, p.274).

The Gospel of Life...part 2
"The moral gravity of procured abortion is apparent in all its truth if we recognize that we are dealing with murder and, in particular, when we consider the specific elements involved. The one eliminated is a human being at the very beginning of life. No one more absolutely innocentcould be imagined. In no way could this human being ever be considered an aggressor, much less an unjust aggressor! He or she is weak,defenseless, even to the point of lacking that minimal form of defense consisting in the poignant power of a newborn baby's cries and tears. The unborn child is totally entrusted to the protection and care of the woman carrying him or her in the womb. And yet sometimes it is precisely the mother herself who makes the decision and asks for the child to be eliminated, and who then goes about having it done.
It is true that the decision to have an abortion is often tragic and painful for the mother, insofar as the decision to rid herself of the fruit of conception is not made for purely selfish reasons or out of convenience, but out of a desire to protect certain important values such as her own health or a decent standard of living for the other members of the family. Sometimes it is feared that the child to be born would live in such conditions that it would be better if the birth did not take place. Nevertheless, these reasons and others like them, however serious and tragic can never justify the deliberate killing of an innocent human being."
--Evangelium Vitae [The Gospel of Life], Pope John Paul II (1995, pp.95-99).
The Apostolic Constitution ca. 380 AD
"Thou shalt not slay thy child by causing abortion, nor kill that which is begotten. For everything that is shaped, and has received a soul from God, if slain, it shall be avenged, as being unjustly destroyed."
--Apostolic Constitutions, 7:3 (The Early Church Speaks for Life).
Prayer
"Lord, You have blessed human conscience with the ability to perceive that killing children is wrong. Increase the moral strength of Your people, that this evil may end."

We are dust...
"God is compassionate and filled with gentleness, slow to punish, and abundant in mercy for He knows our frailty, He remembers we are dust."

A Great Net of Love...
To the faithful, I will preface this with a reminder that heaven is eternity and does not look at time as we do on earth...thus, these messages and others coming in our time from Jesus and Mary are a warning...daily we must amend our lives--daily we are called to conversion and to spread these messages...there will come a time when we will no longer receive them. Thus, we are obligated by this divine Love and warning to prepare daily for the coming of Christ. These messages are for all of us--not just Mary's beloved priests.

"Walk in trust.
The times foretold by me have come, and so you must leave to me all
preoccupation.
I am your heavenly Mother and I am at the side of each one of you.
I am protecting and leading you.
I am sheltering and defending you. Do not be worried about what is going to happen to you, because everything has already been arranged in my motherly heart.
Humanity is now on the brink of that destruction which it could bring upon itself by its own hand. Indeed, that which was predicted to you by me at Fatima, concerning the final closing of this age of yours, has already begun.
How can I any longer hold back the hand of divine justice, when the perversion which humanity has reached, as it walks along the road of obstinate rebellion against God, becomes greater day by day? How many nations could be involved and how many people killed, while many others would have to undergo unspeakable sufferings!
Famine, fire and great destruction: this is what the scourge, which is about to strike humanity, will bring to you!
Beloved sons, heed, all of you, my urgent request; because my Immaculate Heart trembles: it is in anguish at the fate which awaits you."--Our Lady Speaks to Her Beloved Priests (1987, pp.273-74).

Your Victorious Mother...
January 1, 1980
"It is in the joyous mystery of my motherhood that the source of your trust and your hope, at the beginning of this new year, is to be found. You are now being called to enter into a time in which great sufferings await you.
First of all, my Church will have to suffer as it is called to a more intense and painful process of purification.
I am close to it at every moment to help it and comfort it. The more the Church must ascend Calvary, the more will it feel my help and my extraordinary presence. It must now enter into its redemptive passion, in preparation for its most beautiful rebirth.
It is for this moment that, in my Immaculate Heart , a sure help has been provided for you: it is the Vicar of Jesus, the Pope [John Paul II], whom I have given to you that he might be loved, listened to, and followed by you.
For him also, the hours of Gethsemane and of Calvary are now drawing near; and you, my beloved sons, must be his comfort and his defense.
The world too is beginning to live through its most dramatic and painful hours.
In this new year, many things that I foretold you at Fatima will come to pass.
Do not fear; have confidence!
At the most violent hour of the storm , you will see my great light grow brighter and more apparent; the Woman clothed with the sun, with the moon at her feet and about her head a crown of twelve stars!
This is the sign of my victory and yours!
It is your victorious Mother who today, with the Pope, the first of her beloved sons, gathers you all into her Immaculate Heart and blesses you."--Our Lady Speaks to Her Beloved Priests; Marian Movement of Priests, (1987).
