Tonight I wish to teach you to meditate on love. First of all, reconcile yourself with everyone by thinking about the people with whom you have relationship difficulties and forgive them: then in front of the group you recognize these situations and ask God for the grace of forgiveness. In this way, after you have opened and "cleaned" your heart, everything you ask the Lord will be given to you. In particular, ask him for the spiritual gifts that are necessary for your love to be complete.

God the Father is infinite goodness, is mercy and always gives forgiveness to those who ask him from the heart. Pray to him often with these words: “My God, I know that my sins against your love are great and numerous, but I hope you will forgive me. I am ready to forgive everyone, my friend and my enemy. O Father, I hope in you and wish to live always in the hope of your forgiveness ”.

Most people who pray never really enter into prayer. To enter the depth of prayer in group meetings, follow what I tell you. At the beginning, when you come together for prayer, if there is something that disturbs you, say it immediately openly to avoid it being an obstacle for prayer. So free your heart from sins, worries and everything that weighs on you. Ask forgiveness of your weaknesses from God and your brothers. Open! You really must feel the forgiveness of God and his merciful love! You cannot enter into prayer unless you release yourself from the burden of sins and worries. As a second moment, read a passage from Sacred Scripture, meditate on it and then pray by freely expressing your desires, needs, prayer intentions. Above all, pray that God's will will be realized for you and your group. Pray not only for you, but also for others. As a third step, thank the Lord for all he gives you and also for what he takes. Praise and worship the Lord. Finally, ask God for his blessing so that what he has given you and made you discover in prayer does not dissolve but is kept and protected in your heart and put into practice in your life.

Dear children, praise the Lord from the bottom of your heart! Bless his name continually! Children, continually thank God the Almighty Father who wants to save you in every way so that after this earthly life you can be with him forever in the eternal kingdom. My children, the Father wishes you close to him as his dear children. He always forgives you, even when you repeatedly commit the same sins. But don't let sin turn you away from your Heavenly Father's love.

Dear children! Today I invite you to decide for peace. Pray to God to give you true peace. Live peace in your hearts and you will understand, dear children, that peace is a gift from God.

Dear children, today I invite you to understand that without love you cannot understand that God must be first in your life. For this reason, children, I invite you all, to love not with human love but with the love of God. In this way your life will be more beautiful and uninterested. You will understand that God gives himself to you out of love in the simplest way. Children, in order to understand my words, that I give you out of love, pray, pray, pray, and you will be able to accept others with love and forgive all those who have done you harm. Answer with prayer, prayer is the fruit of love for God the Creator. Thanks for answering my call.

Dear children, in this time of grace I again invite you to prayer. Pray, children, for the unity of Christians so that you may all be one heart. Unity will be real among you insofar as you pray and forgive. Do not forget: love will win only if you pray and your hearts will open. Thanks for answering my call.

Dear children, also today I invite you to personal conversion. Be you to convert and, with your life, to witness, love, forgive and bring the joy of the Risen One to this world in which my Son died and in which men do not feel the need to seek and discover Him in their own life. Worship Him and that your hope is hope for those hearts that do not have Jesus. Thank you for having responded to my call.

Dear children! I am calling you because I need you. I need hearts ready for immense love. Of hearts not weighed down by vanity. Of hearts that are ready to love as my Son loved, that are ready to sacrifice themselves as my Son sacrificed himself. I need you. In order to come with me, forgive yourself, forgive others and adore my Son. Worship him also for those who have not known him, who do not love him. For this I need you, for this I call you. Thank you.

Dear children, today I invite you with a motherly heart to learn to forgive completely and unconditionally. You suffer injustices, betrayals and persecutions, but for this you are closer and dearer to God. My children, pray for the gift of Love, only Love forgives everything, as did my Son, follow Him. I am in among you and I pray that when you will be in front of the Father you can say: 'here I am Father, I followed your Son, I loved and forgave with the heart because I believed in your judgment and I trust in you'.

Dear children, today I invite you to come with me with total confidence, because I wish to introduce you to my Son. Do not be afraid, my children. I am with you, I am next to you. I show you the way how to forgive yourself, forgive others and, with sincere repentance in your heart, kneel before the Father. Let everything that prevents you from loving and saving, from being with Him and in Him die in you. Decide for a new beginning, the beginning of the sincere love of God himself. Thank you.

Dear children, even today I want to invite you to forgiveness. Forgive me, my children! Forgive others, forgive yourself. Dear Sons, this is the time of Grace. Pray for all my children who are far from My Son Jesus, pray that they return. The Mother prays with you, the Mother intercedes for you. Thank you that even today you have accepted my messages.

Dear children, I am next to you because I want to help you overcome the tests that this time of purification puts before you. My children, one of them is not to forgive and not to ask for forgiveness. Every sin offends love and takes you away from it - love is my Son! Therefore, my children, if you wish to walk with me towards the peace of God's love, you must learn to forgive and ask for forgiveness. Thank you.

Dear children, love leads me to you, the love that I want to teach you too: true love. The love that my Son showed you when he died on the cross out of love for you. The love that is always ready to forgive and ask for forgiveness. How big is your love? My motherly heart is sad as it seeks love in your hearts. You are not willing to submit your will out of love to the will of God. You cannot help me to make those who have not known the love of God know it, because you do not have true love. Consecrate your hearts to me and I will guide you. I will teach you to forgive, to love the enemy and to live according to my Son. Do not be afraid for yourself. My Son does not forget those he loves in difficulties. I will be next to you. I will pray to Heavenly Father for the light of eternal truth and love to illuminate you. Pray for your shepherds that through your fasting and prayer they can guide you in love. Thank you.

Dear children, in this troubled time I invite you again to walk behind my Son, to follow him. I know the pains, the sufferings and the difficulties, but in my Son you will rest, in him you will find peace and salvation. My children, do not forget that my Son redeemed you with his cross and enabled you to be children of God again and to call Heavenly Father "Father" again. To be worthy of the Father, love and forgive, because your Father is love and forgiveness. Pray and fast, because this is the way to your purification, this is the way to know and understand Heavenly Father. When you know the Father, you will understand that only He is necessary for you (Our Lady said this in a decisive and accentuated way). I, as a Mother, desire my children in the communion of a single people in which the Word of God is listened to and practiced. Therefore, my children, walk behind my Son, be one with Him, be children of God. Love your shepherds as my Son loved them when he called them to serve you. Thank you!
