MESSAGE #2249 from the Blessed Mother December 5, 2001

My daughter, Let the world know how important it is to pray, pray together as a family.
Many problems would be solved if more would join hands and pray, pray together. Many
answers come through prayer, but few take time to converse with God.

A response is needed, so please gather your children and pray the Rosary. Gather in your
groups and pray that more families will set time aside to pray. Gather as prayerful
children and pray, instead of visiting with those around you. Prayer is your protection, so
please, please pray more. Take time to kneel before our Lord. Take time dear children, or
the answers will not be given to you.

In order to have a true relationship with Jesus, you must pray and spend time with Him.
You must come to Mass and adore our Lord. You must believe that when you pray from
your heart God truly hears your prayers. You must trust and believe that Jesus is truly
present in the Tabernacle. Jesus is alive in every Consecrated Host. Jesus awaits those
who will come to Him with an open heart.

Dear children, I plead with you, come to know Jesus now. Look into your own heart and
prepare your heart and soul for the coming of my Son, Jesus. Examine your conscience
and then amend your ways. Accept my love for you by truly responding to these
messages. Allow Jesus to enter your hearts and be in control of your lives. Cleanse your
soul so that Jesus can dwell in you. Prepare your hearts during this Advent season so that
Christ can be alive in you. Put on your armor of faith and be an example for those who
are sleeping. Unite in prayer, for you are all God’s children. Love God so that you can
truly love, love one another. Pray and fast without being told so you stay strong, strong
for Jesus.

I come to you today, just as I did in Fatima, so more awake and turn to God. So please
convert and change your lives so that I can protect you with my mantle. Teach others
how to pray the Rosary, for this will truly lessen what is coming your way. Repent of
your sins and believe that God is truly forgiving. Do penance everyday for the conversion
of souls. Do what you have been told so more souls can be saved.

I am truly here to manifest my love to you. I am here to lead my children back, back to
God. I am your Heavenly Mother, so be wise and listen to my Heavenly requests. Be
wise and respond today so you are ready and prepared to meet Almighty God. Pray now
from your hearts and remember, prayers from your heart appease God. My daughter,
make this message known, for without prayer there cannot be peace or unity. Amen.
