“My Child, what does thou say this night?”
(Recipient)........... “Mother...... I’ve had so little time to prepare .....to fullyunderstand what you have been revealing to me. So I submit myself totally to your care.”“Will you come with me My child?” “Of course Mother,There’s a beautiful scene of many hills ... little valleys and a town ... a village in the distance and all in lights. It’s a figure of a man. He walks very slowly ...... deliberately with great grace. He looks upon the town below but His eyes quickly turn upwards. The sky now filled with stars. Seems to take on a meaning of such depth that I can barely express in words. ( yes ) As Jesus raises His eyes towards the heavens ... a huge cup ... chalice, as we would call it. It forms and the stars take many colors to distinguish the cup separately from the darkness surrounding it. The cup though huge, now comes down into the raised hand of Jesus. He stands prayerfully holding this cup and looking up, praying. I only hear “Father”. He’s going to turn. Mother, hold My hand. He’s going to turn! The cup ... no handsholding it comes toward me and I’m told to look and to drink. I take the cup ...... press it to my lips and what seems sweet is bitter. I want to reject it. I want to reject it . No more ... it’s bitter. But now there’s much peace. The cup returns to the hand of Jesus and in an instant is back high in the sky ... so large. I need you Mother ...... help explain ...”
“The cup My child is the cup from which each must drink …..it is the cup from which My Son first drank. The bitterness …..the taste of sin. For all are filled with sin. But by My Son drinking this cup the bitterness turns to sweetness …… a sweetness of absolution for you and all of His children who willingly walk this Lenten journey ……bearing your cross as each trial comes uniting itself to your particular cross. They are but petals from the roses ……graces sent by Jesus to strengthen you and to allow your sufferings to reach and touch suffering souls throughout the world. For this is a journey for souls ……and now is a time of
great power …..of great significance. For all your efforts, your sacrifices will be united with those of My Son.”
(Tongues) “Father”...... (Mary) “My child,
I shall not be with you this Lenten season as I have been …..but you will receive the strength as you will carry many crosses. Do so out of love ……out of
gratitude and the souls for whom you pray will rejoice one day with you as you come before My Son. Do not despair ……but accept what comes with joy. Jesus will not leave you …..nor will I . But the cup shall pass amongst you and each must choose to drink ……or not. It is your choice. Will you let this opportunity to aid in the salvation of souls pass you by ……or will you gratefully hold out your hand and grasp the cup to drink your portion?”
