“My sons, I speak to you now. I am Saint Alphonsus Liguori. Many transactions occurred while I was upon the earth and many men concurred on how the transactions should be adapted to the time in which we lived, and should result in, for the time in which we lived.

I say to you now, ‘As I stand in the Heavens, it is true that I pace forward and backward when I speak through this child who is often screaming to God, “God, give me Grace to withstand the blows that You serve.” ’

I, Saint Alphonsus Liguori, say, ‘There are many, many intentions for this great voyage, trip; and there are many, many goals for it, in it, to be attained.’ The child is aware of much more than I will speak to you of now, and the child says, ‘God, give me the strength to endure and to extend all the things that You determine to be given to man, done by man, determined by man, exercised by man, and promoted by man, for the good of the world.’

I, Saint Alphonsus Liguori say, ‘There are so many issues yet to be discussed, to be developed, that this child who stands in such a simple way, who stands so subservient to The Father’s Will that she does not see always your needs, but she knows of them, for We tell her.’ And she says, ‘What do I do to understand them?’ and oftentimes I am the One Who intercedes and I say: ‘Wait a minute, child. You have a cross large enough for you to carry. You have a burden great enough for you to endure. Each child must withstand the blows necessary,’ and this child screams out and shouts, ‘God, help them understand I am but a puppet for man and I am but a puppet for the whole world.’

This child has been taught, it has been instilled, that she must not allow any man to allow the strings they incur to tangle the Strings God has upon her whole being — upon her mind, upon her limbs, upon her senses, upon her mobility, for you see, men would try desperately to bind this child into a position, a place that the child would be in a place not to gain Grace, but to be stifled by the demands of man. We cannot allow this.

I, Saint Alphonsus Liguori, say to you now, ‘This child has been put forth as a lawyer upon the earth, as a barrister, and I smile at this word when I say it, to determine the facts and to give strength to all things that The Father has deemed to be.’ This child has been placed forth to extend to the world not only attitude, but position; not only position, but status; not only the facts, but the determination of the facts and the extension of these facts and the culmination of these facts, for men to better understand the beauty and the magnitude of this Great Place that is to be.¹ This child stands totally subservient to The Father’s Will, totally subservient to His Love, and totally in dedication to Him, in every facet of life, in every means and every manner determined totally by His Will, His Love and His Sacrifice.

I say to you now, ‘As I stand in the Heavens, I am a Lawyer Here also, I am a Barrister in some ways, and I smile and say, “Do not forget, I am a Saint.”’ I walked the earthly way. I understand this child’s sometime dilemma over the fact of your problems. And The Father says to her, ‘Wait, you have other things to think about,’ and she says, ‘But remember the child, God.’ And He says: ‘Have I forgotten the child? Is it not I Who keeps the heart beating? Is it not I Who keeps the child walking? Is it not I Who gave the breath of life?’ And she must succumb to His Love and to His Grace.

So, you see, My sons, there is more to this child’s way than just the meeting of the eyes, just the speaking of the way, just the direction that falls not promiscuously, but in a permanent, factual way. This child is, in evidence, everything that Heaven is. This child is an extension, a reflection, a motivation, a stimulation, and an instilling of all things that are His, to motivate man to improve the way, to motivate man into becoming a Saint.

This child has all the Visions. She knows this. This child must, in every way, relay to a child the definite pattern of all the Visions. By the time she returns to this place, things will be accomplished that you cannot understand, things will be given in motion, and this child knows this, and the child says, ‘God, give me the strength.’

I say to you now, I, Saint Alphonsus Liguori, ‘You are setting forth upon a journey, not quite an adventure alone, but I would say a place in which you must conquer many things.’ I draw the child deeper into the funnel and as I draw her deeper into the funnel, she is less with you and more with Us. As her finger points, We smile at this, for she tries to show you she is going backwards, not forwards, but in reality, she is going forward; but her body, with the pressure and the Power being forced against it, pushed through it, causes her to feel she is being drawn backwards.

Such a child The Father has chosen, such a warrior. I say to you now, My beloved sons, that she is more with Us than with you at all times. And even though her humor, her jesting, her personality appear as though they are in total understanding, she is beyond the understanding you know understanding to be. I say to you, ‘There are no advantages to how she stands, only responsibilities.’ The advantages would be totally for the time to come, in the time to come. The responsibilities are so great that the child never feels the stimulation of success. The success, as she shows to you, is motivated only by the next act that must be done through you, eventually for you.

Men in high places must begin to see that this child, though she stands in the world, is not motivated by men’s degrees but motivated by a Power Higher than men know a power to be. She is in no way fanatical in any manner, but men try to diminish the stature in which she stands so they will look more important, and they will have excuses for how they are. But the child, understanding this and seeing the immaturity and the need, says: ‘God, let it pass. Do not hold the child responsible for this act, for the child does not understand Whom I stand for and the way I stand. It is not necessary, God, to gain recognition for these things. It is not important to me. Just let Your Work be done, let Your Will be done by all men, and see to it, God, that I am allowed to see it through to the end; for when it is done, then I ask You to take me, for you see, I cannot stand the imperfections of man.’

I, Saint Alphonsus, say to you now, ‘No child has ever stood in the world such as this one stands. No child has ever walked in such a tedious, treacherous, burdensome way, except of course, The Son Who walked a particular way.’ And The Beloved Joseph, Who stands Highest in the Heavens above All Saints, smiles and says, ‘Oh, God, take care of her, she bears My Name.’

So as I bless the whole world through this child, I say to each man who walks with her, ‘You are blessed, you are privileged, and the child will stand stronger than you know, firmer than you can see, and will fight for you against all adversities.’ I bless you from the Heavens and I say, ‘The world is Blessed through the sacrifice of a child in the world today.’ So be it.”
