“Picture what you feel Heaven might be. Now, picture Purgatory, and now I say: ‘Don’t picture Hell, for fear would grip you and you’d feel a spell of heartache and disturbance, suffering and upset; but I do say, My children, for your sake, please reject anything from satan, for it would lead you here; not a mythical illusion but a truth that men must hear.’
The children in your charge are important to The Father, for creations such as they must return to Him one day. Do not teach them fear but teach them understanding. Show them truth. Make them choose and turn to good that is without ending. Help them see the value of the right and wrong. Teach them prayer is important to help make them strong.
Lead them to the Altar, not at any given age, but continuously, as they learn to walk in the way of man. Create a love around The God that created All Things. Tell them of the Beauty that reigns because of Him. Tell them of His Love which radiates from Him. Teach them, and be example of the Reverence due to Him.
Make a point of listening when they feel they’ve committed sin. Sometimes they’d rather tell you than a Man of God for they are sure you’ll understand, for you’re the one they love.
The sons who are your spouses, remember also here; your constant strength, loving ways will teach them God is here.
The Blessed Mother often smiles when you do question what you’ve done. She says: ‘No apprehension, child, just pray for My Direction. I’m always ready with My Love to help another child lead one more Soul, one more child to the Feet of God. Don’t hesitate to say a prayer before your mouth does speak, for right that second I’ll be there to help you before you become weak.’
Don’t overestimate what you feel you are, for children sometimes are weakened by the physical way of life. Walk more often into the Church and visit with Him there. No better friend could you call upon when things cause you despair. Make it a habit, repeat it often. He loves to see you there. The purpose is, a child’s come home to ask The Father’s Words; to tell Him of the problems, for the help that’s needed there. Every day He waits and so few children go to Him. Remember, it’s an act of love for The God Who’s there.”
