“My beloved children, I am Saint Francis of Assisi, and I speak through this child openly and I say, ‘Be aware that today you have received much Love, much Hope.’ And do not feel that this Great Place will be built by one man, two men or three. Know that men are being drawn from all over the earth to come here and to see: to see the Beauty that is here, the Love that is here, the Direction that is here; and the child will explain it when I am through.

You say, ‘Give me peace, God.’ He does, but you do not recognize it as peace because you want peace in your way. You say, ‘God, make me well.’ He does, but oftentimes it is a healing of the Spiritual. You say, ‘God, help me to have the acclaim other men have.’ He does, for do not forget, to be loved by one, two, three close to you, sometimes is more than you deserve to have.

So, as I bless you through this child, I say, ‘When I walked the earth men said I was small of stature, deep of love, humble.’ And I say, ‘Humility is loving Divine Will first, and truly being small in man’s way is sometimes better, for you can perform many acts, gain much Grace, and no one sees you on your way.’ So be it.”
