“I am Saint Catherine of Siena. It is sad when We hear so many excuses being passed from one individual to the next regarding the closure of so many convents throughout the world. In many of these, what occurred could have been corrected without such drastic measures being taken, but the disciplinary factors involved were absent of more clear understanding; also, the enemy of God and man interfered many times in specific vocations, and these vocations automatically interfered with other vocations.

Those who lived outside of the communities had very little concept of what was occurring behind the walls, and I add, very few prayed for the vocations to flourish. They took them for granted, which in reality was a sadness to know.

Some men and women try to justify so many vocations being lost because of human reasoning, human understanding, human vulnerability; but I, Saint Catherine of Siena say, ‘In any vocation of life, the marriage state, the single state, there should always be prayer to help each one of these stations in life be held in the proper manner, for the right reason, and of course, for the Goal of each one involved: to become “a Saint”.’ Mankind has a way of taking so much for granted, casting aside any obvious needed help, allowing all things up to the individuals.

Prayer is a very important part of daily living. It is very often the last thought for refuge that a situation calls for, because the humanistic part of mankind falls prey to the humanism that looks more appealing, more justified, more acceptable, more realistic. Prayer is almost a thing of the past, and yet in prayer there is a strength that will last. Prayer is a personal communication with The Father, with Our Heavenly Mother, and All The Saints Here in Heaven. Heaven is real and Heaven does hear all that is spoken, even when some speak in impolite jest.

The world of mankind places so much emphasis on becoming famous, having power, and gaining monetarily. All these things are in many ways competitive to all of mankind, but prayer is available instantaneously, and there is no better or greater way to find strength, courage, peace of mind, hope, because in prayer there is a Personal Association undeniable, with a Source Greater than any human being can be compared to, any action in life can fulfill.

As We All speak through this little one who has been directed to repeat Our Words One by One in the order We give Them, mankind is being instructed to see more value in what life is all about. And mankind must remember one important factor: The power of prayer, though it passes through the mind, is immediately in the Soul of the individual, which is the closest Contact to The Father mankind could ever have. So be it.”
