✞ If the soul suffers distractions at Communion, it is a sign that she has not given herself completely to God.
Volume 8 — Entry 19
Mother had a pink dress and a large blue-green mantle covered her head as well. The mantle was enormous and the outer edges of the mantle were being moved by the wind.
Mother had her hands clasped in prayer; in her hands was a long holy rosary, white with light, going almost down to her feet. Her feet were bare and placed on the world. The world was as if overshadowed by a great cloud; in some parts of the world scenes of war and violence could be seen.
Mother had a tear running down her face and slowly the tear fell until it touched the world.
May Jesus Christ be praised
"Dear children, thank you that today you have again hastened into my blessed woods to welcome me and to respond to this call of mine.
My children, I love you, I love you immensely and if I am here it is because I want to save you all. My children, today I am here again to ask you for prayer and to instill love and peace in your hearts. Yes, children! Many of you are troubled because you do not have peace, and if you do not have peace it is because you do not trust in God completely.
Children, once again I say to you: abandon yourselves to God, pray and learn to forgive. Many of you have a closed heart, because you have not yet forgiven, you do not know how to love. You believe that you know how to love, but do not do it with love: your forgiveness is said with the lips alone and not with the heart. Free your hearts from every knot and everything that keeps you bound. Free yourselves through the sacrament of confession, free yourselves by forgiving those who have hurt you, forgive your enemies. You cannot say that you love God if you do not love your brothers and sisters.
Children, pray for the Church, pray much for the Church, not only for the universal Church but also for the local Church."
Then Mother stretched out her hands and prayed over the pilgrims. Finally she blessed everyone. In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
