“My dear child, when you are thrown into the wilderness and isolated because of this Mission, it is important to know the reason why. Because when you do, it will make it easier for you to accept such cruelty.
When I was about to give birth, not one door was opened to allow my Son to come into the world with dignity. As each door was slammed in the Face of God, Who sent His only Son to redeem man from sin, it will be just the same as God now prepares the way for the Second Coming of His Son.
As God prepares the world for this great day, doors will again be shut, in defiance, against the Word of God. You, as the messenger, will continue to face fierce opposition. Many will not only keep their doors closed – this will only be one insult – they will scream terrible obscenities and hurt you, my child, because they do not want to hear the Word of God.
The spirit of evil prevails at this crucial time in the history of mankind and will crush even the most holy amongst God’s children. Only the most courageous will withstand the spirit of evil, which will infest millions so that they will reject the Mercy of my Son.
It is not the Messages alone which will be hated, but it is the fear, that through the Mercy of my Son, that more souls will be saved from the grasp of the evil one. The evil one works and weaves his way into the hearts of many souls, and in particular, those who are close to my Son. It is the devout followers, within my Son’s Church, who are the first target of the evil one, who will turn most of them against His Word at this time.
The True Word of my Son, Jesus Christ, has been diluted over the centuries and the contents of the Holy Bible are now denied by many, who say they know my Son. Remember, the battle for souls is being fought by the angels and saints in my Father’s Kingdom, against the deceiver. You, my child, are caught in the middle and as such become an easy target.
It is because of the enormity of this Mission and because you are a prophet – and not a visionary – that you will work in isolation and be hated amongst men. Do not allow this persecution to sadden you or feel that you will not be strong enough, for this cannot be. You have been sent and you are protected and you will stand up and continue to proclaim the Word of God, until the last day. This is foretold and when the souls of the world are saved and when the New Kingdom – the New Paradise – commences, none of this suffering will be of any consequence.
Rejoice and have no fear. I, your beloved Mother, will guide and protect you, even in your darkest hour, so that the Light of God will fill your mind, body and soul, every day.
I love you, my child, and you must know that you have been blessed with the Gift of Perseverance. All is now in the Hands of God. You must trust in Him, at all times.
Your beloved Mother, Mother of God, Mother of Salvation”

Reading 1 Am 2:6-10, 13-16
For three crimes of Israel, and for four,
I will not revoke my word;
Because they sell the just man for silver,
and the poor man for a pair of sandals.
They trample the heads of the weak
into the dust of the earth,
and force the lowly out of the way.
Son and father go to the same prostitute,
profaning my holy name.
Upon garments taken in pledge
they recline beside any altar;
And the wine of those who have been fined
they drink in the house of their god.
Yet it was I who destroyed the Amorites before them,
who were as tall as the cedars,
and as strong as the oak trees.
I destroyed their fruit above,
and their roots beneath.
It was I who brought you up from the land of Egypt,
and who led you through the desert for forty years,
to occupy the land of the Amorites.
Beware, I will crush you into the ground
as a wagon crushes when laden with sheaves.
Flight shall perish from the swift,
and the strong man shall not retain his strength;
The warrior shall not save his life,
nor the bowman stand his ground;
The swift of foot shall not escape,
nor the horseman save his life.
And the most stouthearted of warriors
shall flee naked on that day, says the LORD.
Responsorial Psalm Ps 50:16bc-17, 18-19, 20-21, 22-23
“Why do you recite my statutes,
and profess my covenant with your mouth,
Though you hate discipline
and cast my words behind you?”
R. Remember this, you who never think of God.
“When you see a thief, you keep pace with him,
and with adulterers you throw in your lot.
To your mouth you give free rein for evil,
you harness your tongue to deceit.”
R. Remember this, you who never think of God.
“You sit speaking against your brother;
against your mother’s son you spread rumors.
When you do these things, shall I be deaf to it?
Or do you think that I am like yourself?
I will correct you by drawing them up before your eyes.”
R. Remember this, you who never think of God.
“Consider this, you who forget God,
lest I rend you and there be no one to rescue you.
He that offers praise as a sacrifice glorifies me;
and to him that goes the right way I will show the salvation of God.”
R. Remember this, you who never think of God.
Alleluia Ps 95:8
If today you hear his voice,
harden not your hearts.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
Gospel Mt 8:18-22
he gave orders to cross to the other shore.
A scribe approached and said to him,
“Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go.”
Jesus answered him, “Foxes have dens and birds of the sky have nests,
but the Son of Man has nowhere to rest his head.”
Another of his disciples said to him,
“Lord, let me go first and bury my father.”
But Jesus answered him, “Follow me,
and let the dead bury their dead.” “

“Final Instructions17 I urge you, brothers and sisters,[a] to keep an eye on those who cause dissensions and offenses, in opposition to the teaching that you have learned; avoid them. 18 For such people do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites,[b] and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the simple-minded. 19 For while your obedience is known to all, so that I rejoice over you, I want you to be wise in what is good and guileless in what is evil. 20 The God of peace will shortly crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.[c]
21 Timothy, my co-worker, greets you; so do Lucius and Jason and Sosipater, my relatives.[d]
22 I Tertius, the writer of this letter, greet you in the Lord.[e]
23 Gaius, who is host to me and to the whole church, greets you. Erastus, the city treasurer, and our brother Quartus, greet you.[f] …”
“The Purpose of the Parables10 Then the disciples came and asked him, “Why do you speak to them in parables?” 11 He answered, “To you it has been given to know the secrets[a] of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given. 12 For to those who have, more will be given, and they will have an abundance; but from those who have nothing, even what they have will be taken away. 13 The reason I speak to them in parables is that ‘seeing they do not perceive, and hearing they do not listen, nor do they understand.’ 14 With them indeed is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah that says:
‘You will indeed listen, but never understand,
and you will indeed look, but never perceive.
15 For this people’s heart has grown dull,
and their ears are hard of hearing,
and they have shut their eyes;
so that they might not look with their eyes,
and listen with their ears,
and understand with their heart and turn—
and I would heal them.’
16 But blessed are your eyes, for they see, and your ears, for they hear. 17 Truly I tell you, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see, but did not see it, and to hear what you hear, but did not hear it.
The Parable of the Sower Explained
18 “Hear then the parable of the sower. 19 When anyone hears the word of the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what is sown in the heart; this is what was sown on the path. 20 As for what was sown on rocky ground, this is the one who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy; 21 yet such a person has no root, but endures only for a while, and when trouble or persecution arises on account of the word, that person immediately falls away.[b] 22 As for what was sown among thorns, this is the one who hears the word, but the cares of the world and the lure of wealth choke the word, and it yields nothing. 23 But as for what was sown on good soil, this is the one who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and yields, in one case a hundredfold, in another sixty, and in another thirty.””
