Our Lady's Message through Gianna Talone Sullivan
My dear little children, praise be Jesus!
Little ones, every day of your life is part of a Lenten season. Easter has arrived and yet Lent has once again commenced. Immerse yourself into the most compassionate heart of your Savior Jesus who desires you to partake in His most Divine life.
The most important virtue to participating in His life is love. Each Lenten day immersed in His precious life must consist of love. The meaning of Lent is love and joy. It is the fulfillment of the Scripture. The Lenten season should not be viewed as a time of hardship but as a time of joy to share in the love of Jesus. This is why I say to you that another Lenten season has just begun.
Each day is another opportunity for you to unite yourself to the heart of Jesus' mercy, suffering and love. He is your redeemer and your sins have been vindicated.
I love you little ones and rejoice with you and for you in your risen Savior. Be strong and come embrace His merciful love. Look beyond your hardships and needs and experience the love Jesus has for you, a love to die for.
I take your petitions to My Son. Peace to you.
Thank you for responding to My call. AD DEUM.

My dear little children, praise be Jesus!
Every day is a new day in which God the Father's love shines on His beloved creatures. Turn to the Father and praise Him, little ones. I continuously speak to you of His love and mercy because He is love and mercy. Love and mercy are the fibers of His kingdom. He will guide you and protect you in His goodness. I love you little children and desire you to know all there is to know of God's light.
Never lose hope. Focus on God. Listen to My words and take seriously My invitation to a deeper relationship with the Father, for it is out of love I have come to you. There are many people who have chosen not to listen to My plea and many have become disinterested.
God does exist and He can give and take the breath of life as you know it to be. He offers the breath of everlasting life and this is not denied to anyone who desires it nor is it ever taken away from anyone who asks for it. The Father loves you little children and He is gentle and kind. Praise Him for your existence and join in a deeper union with Him.
It is so necessary that My beloved children not become indifferent but enkindle the flame of His love by trusting and believing His words. God does exist. There are many avenues people have chosen to walk without God and without giving Him the praise that is due. Turn to the Father and know your actions are monitored at all times. He does not watch you from afar for He is not a distant Father. He is closer to you than you realize.
I bless you, little ones, in the name of Jesus and take your petitions on your behalf to the Father. Peace to you.
Thank you for responding to My call. AD DEUM.

My dear little children, praise be Jesus!
Little ones, pray for your priests. They are in need of your prayers and support. Without My beloved priests, there would not be Holy Eucharist; and without Holy Eucharist, there would not be a holy priesthood. It would be humanly impossible.
Jesus in Holy Eucharist offers Himself for your sanctification. My beloved priests are as selfless and humble as their lives are centered on Jesus in Holy Eucharist. They are pure in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. How they live their lives is an expression of profound love for Jesus. People look to their priests and follow their example. Please pray for My beloved priests and support them.
Jesus is present to you in Holy Eucharist. It is not a symbol or an expression of His love. Holy Eucharist is Jesus Himself fully present in His mystical body and blood. Jesus is your God who became man not only to die for you but also to live with you in Holy Eucharist. Prayer is needed for My priests. Pray for Divine grace and the humility to believe in the Holy Eucharist. Satan is flooding your world with moral issues, and without Divine grace, intervention, and prayer, many people, including priests will walk in darkness. Focus on the truth of Jesus in Holy Eucharist and BELIEVE.
I bless you in the name of Jesus as His humble servant so that you may also bless one another in His love as His humble servants. Thank you for responding to My call. AD DEUM.

My dear little children, praise be Jesus!
Little ones, please do not judge one another. It is easy to see what you want to see. Instead pray for the gift of objectivity. You are without excuse when you pass judgement. Scripture says, "by the standard in which you judge another you condemn yourself, since you, the judge, do the very same things."
Be patient and loving children. Be kind and open to the love of God which dwells in each person. Please do not live with a stubborn, stony heart for there is glory and honor for all who do good. There is no favoritism in God's love and you are not superior to another person because of rank, title, position or wealth. Look through the eyes of Jesus and see as He sees instead of seeing what you want to see.
I love you little children and desire you to be like Jesus, merciful and loving. He loves you unconditionally. He is patient, gentle and humble of heart. Ask Him to enlighten you and to give you the grace to change. Ask Him for the grace to see circumstances through His eyes of love.
I bless you in His name and take your petitions to the Father. Peace to you.
Thank you for responding to My call. AD DEUM.

Our Lady's Message through Gianna Talone Sullivan
My dear little children, praise be Jesus!
Little ones, pray, pray, pray! There are so many people in need of your prayers. There are devastating diseases throughout the world and many people suffer. When a person is ill, it is difficult to pray. There are many people who have difficulty praying when they are well, but when a person is not well it is far more difficult. Your prayers can help a suffering victim receive tranquility and deep joy.
I know you would like diseases to be eradicated and for medical technology to develop cures. I am here to tell you that until prayer is placed at the center of the lives of science researchers, and genuine love the fruit of their motives, as well as the motives of the medical industries, many cures will remain puzzling and researchers will continue to walk in circles. Self- righteousness, fame, power, and prestige are current obstacles to medical advancements. The stone which the builders rejected is the cornerstone. Jesus must be the foundation for any lasting effects of life to be sustained and bear good fruit.
I love you, little ones, and ask you to pray for your countrymen who suffer. Pray for all those involved with medical research and all people who have manipulated health care costs in the medical empire which has resulted in the suffering of innocent people. Pray also for the people in other countries and continents, for this medical problem exists world wide.
I bless you in the name of Jesus, your Savior. Peace to you.
Thank you for responding to My call. AD DEUM.

Our Lady's Message through Gianna Talone Sullivan
My dear little children, praise be Jesus!
Little children, offer yourself to God in simple wholeness, all that you are and just as you are, without concentrating on a specific need or aspect of your being. If you love My Son with your entire being, your attention span will not drift and you will remain single of heart and in union with Him.
What matters is that you willingly offer your blind awareness and your entire being, stripped of speculation and qualities, to My Son with a joyful love. In this way you will be spiritually one with Him and His grace will bind you to His precious being, as He is in Himself.
Lift yourself, just as you are, to Jesus, just as He is. Forget your misery and do not analyze your thoughts. It is enough to praise Jesus with the offering of your naked being. Thoughts of your attributes and qualities or meditated misery, will not further your growth or bring you closer to perfection. It is your blind awareness and an undivided heart which will gain you perfection in His love and allow you to grow in holiness.
I love you in the name of Jesus. I take your petitions to His most Sacred Heart and I humbly bless you in His love. Peace to you.
Thank you for responding to My call. AD DEUM.

Our Lady's Message through Gianna Talone Sullivan
My dear little children, praise be Jesus!
From the beginning of your existence Jesus has loved you with an incomprehensible love. Everything that God wills or allows to happen to you stems from His infinite love. Even in the mystery of your deepest sufferings, this is an expression of His love which He has allowed you to share with Him. You belong to God and He wants all of your hearts and wills. He desires you for Himself.
Events are allowed in your life to make certain that your hearts and wills belong completely and unconditionally to Him alone. No matter what you may do, little ones, you cannot escape God. God is everywhere. It is only you who separate yourselves from Him through your willingness to gravely sin.
Jesus is the illumination of your soul. Without His light you would perish. You would not be able to receive inner joy or live in perfect union with Him in eternity.
Little children, Jesus comes to you in various ways. In order for you to be able to recognize Him, you must desire His love and love Him alone.
I love you and I bless you in His name. I take your petitions to His most Sacred Heart.
Thank you for responding to My call. AD DEUM.

Our Lady's Message through Gianna Talone Sullivan
My dear little children, praise be Jesus!
In the early dawn My Son blesses you with His grace to fulfill His works of mercy. Have compassion on the sick and those in need of assistance. When you serve the needs of others, you do it for Jesus. Jesus has compassion on all people who suffer. He joins His sufferings with them.
He has said, "When I was sick you visited me; when I was hungry you gave me food to eat. When I was thirsty you gave me something to drink. When I was naked you clothed me. When I was in prison you visited me. When you do it for the least of my brothers you do it for me."
Jesus identifies Himself with all people who suffer and unites them to His passion. He gives strength and courage to continue to persevere and endure in illness. Bless and praise God for His mercy.
Remove the many shields of defenses you have around you so you can live in peace and in God's truth of humility. You can have compassion on others by simply listening to them and not allowing pride to interfere. Intellectual pride can be dangerous and you all have things to learn.
Live in the truth of humility. Listen and respond to the needs of others, for when you do something for them you do it for My Son.
I bless you in His name and pray for your intentions.
Thank you for responding to My call. AD DEUM.

Our Lady's Message through Gianna Talone Sullivan
My dear little children, praise be Jesus!
Little ones, implore Jesus with loving praise and supplication. Continue to pray without ceasing for all the wonders of life. He will bend His ear to your prayers and give to you the comfort you need in your afflictions.
Rejoice in God and acknowledge Him as your creator. Jesus is your redeemer. Place your trust in Him. Be faithful to His word of salvation. His loving kindness will embrace you. Do not fear but rejoice and have hope. God does exist.
Loving praises soothe His wounds, afflicted upon Him from the sacrileges and outrages against His most Sacred Heart, and in response provides you with His comforting assistance. He will respond to you. He will never abandon you.
The people of this world need to learn of the truth and meaning of unconditional love and friendship. Many people desire only to receive, receive and receive. If they do not receive what they desire when they pray, they become frustrated, angry, feel forgotten and have self-pity. God too desires to receive, but continues to give, give, give. Unconditional love requires giving and receiving.
Be like Jesus, little ones, who gives and receives unconditionally for the sake of love. Love Jesus, little ones, as He deserves. He is infinite. Dedicate yourselves entirely to His service without seeking reward or answers to your prayers. God will be pleased with your efforts. He will enrich you and take delight in giving you more than you can receive.
Never grow weary in praising God and showing Him your gratitude. You will receive great joy and consolation in spirit, and in the process you will prepare yourselves to receive additional graces from Him.
I love you and bless you in His name.
Thank you for responding to My call. AD DEUM.

Our Lady's Message through Gianna Talone Sullivan
My dear little children, praise be Jesus!
Little ones, pray with all your strength and hearts for the many people who suffer from abuse. If people cannot love and respect their children, family members and own spouses, how can they respect any aspect of life, their neighbors and other people of different cultures? If respect for life and love of family members are neglected, it is not possible to love or respect anyone.
This presents a threat to your very existence. If people cannot preserve the dignity of life, then life will cease to exist from the very hands of its own enemies. God will not allow this destruction of life to continue, life which He created.
My Son gave His life to save you and all of mankind. Unless prayer, penance and fasting is done in reparation for the many outrages against His Most Sacred Heart, this world will suffer tremendously from its lack of gratitude, pompous righteousness and lack of mercy. People who are not interested in hearing the words of mercy and love now will crave to hear them later, but will not because it will be too late.
Pray, little children, and please heed My request. The hour glass is no longer half full. God will not allow His children to suffer much longer at the hands of the enemy. My Son is returning and His angels will soon be released to gather His faithful to safety and destroy evil so that peace will reign once again.
I bless you, little children, in the name of Jesus, your only Savior. I thank Him for allowing Me to be here with you in this special way. Peace to you.
Thank you for responding to My call. AD DEUM.

Our Lady's Message through Gianna Talone Sullivan
My dear little children, praise be Jesus!
Little children, give thanks and praise to Jesus for allowing Me to be with you in this special way. Please heed all of My requests, little ones, not only the ones you desire. It seems that you rejoice when you hear words which are pleasing to your personal wishes, desires and needs. But when you hear words which challenge you to change, you question the meaning behind them or assume they do not apply to you.
All of the messages granted to you from heaven are for one purpose, to bring you back to My Son. I have always pointed the way to My Son and have invited you to return to Him. There are many people who refuse to change and know God's truth. There are many people who insist on changing God's words to support their life style. There are even people who feel they will be exempt from the consequences to be afflicted on this world from the lack of love and mercy.
No one will be exempt from suffering if they truly desire to be with Jesus, because this is the way of the cross. However, those who persevere in their suffering will be with Him forever. Even if they die in this world, My Son's angels will bring them to rest in the abode of His Sacred Heart. There they will be safe for all eternity.
The battle with the enemy is never over until your last breath, so do not be presumptuous. The enemy awaits every opportunity to deceive and mislead you. I have spoken to you on numerous occasions about My Son's unconditional love and endless mercy, yet few are interested in applying My words in their lives. You must never cease in challenging yourselves to grow in love and mercy.
I love you little children and bless you in the name of Jesus. Thank you for responding to My call. AD DEUM.

Our Lady's Message through Gianna Talone Sullivan
My dear little children, praise be Jesus!
Little ones I love you very much and wish to help you grow in holiness. There is a great deal of evil and corruption in this world. There are many people afflicted with an obsession for material power. The value of money has become the forerunner to prestigious rank, power and influential tactics, over simplicity.
There is so much impurity today that the children growing do not know the difference between good and evil. They think actions of impurity are an expression of their freedom.
There are little devotional exercises to the design of God. My St. Joseph led his life in an aura of silence. He exercised his devotion and submission to God. He renounced impurity and placed his liberty in the hands of God. He lived in harmony with God and became the foundation and nourishment of the family.
The family unit today is disintegrating because many people have chosen to stray from prayer and devotional exercises. Their devotion is to a freedom masked with pride, apathy, crime, sexual pleasures, worldly enticements and atheism. The subtleties of evil are infiltrating at every level. You must come into the safety of My Immaculate Heart and the Sacred Heart of Jesus before it becomes impossible to separate from the corruption. I invite you to pray as a family within your homes every day. Do not wait any longer. It must be a priority in order to recognize the evil fallocies which surround you. The urgency to pray daily as a family with a fervor is now.
I love you and bless you in the name of Jesus. I take your petitions to His Most Sacred Heart. Peace.
Thank you for responding to My call. AD DEUM.
