PILGRIMS COME FROM GEELONG
On the 24th October a group of eight people of Polish origin including a priest from Geelong made the journey over to stay for three nights at Bethany and spend time in prayer at the shrine and grotto. Fr. Joseph celebrated Mass each day in the shrine in half English and half Polish. What a beautiful experience to hear them all praying and singing in their native tongue. They all joined us each night for 8pm prayers in the grotto. Our Lady appeared each night they were here and on one night kissed the crucifixes of their rosary beads. Our lives were enriched for their visit and we thank them sincerely for making the journey. We have been told that many graces and blessings will be given to those who visit Our Lady’s Shrine.

I come to you this night as a gentle breeze. I want to tell you how much I appreciate your faithfulness by your prayers offered to me, your Mother with a humble heart. I am your Mother Incarnate given to you by the Eternal Father to help in the redemption of mankind. Your prayers are of the utmost importance and are used for much good. I am your Mother of Peace and I come to bring peace to the world through my Son Jesus who is the Prince of Peace. I remind you this night the importance in staying close to my Immaculate Heart and the Sacred Heart of my Son Jesus united as one for the salvation of many. I ask you to stay always with peace in your heart. Receive your Prince of Peace often in the Sacrament of the Holy Altar and know that He will stay with you and help you. Do not forget Him after you have received Him in communion but always remember that Jesus wants to remain with you in communion of your hearts. I ask you to break down all the barriers which impede you being united with my Son Jesus. Turn away from worldly desires which take control of your life and instead receive that longed for peace by giving Him your complete trust and by allowing your Eternal Father to guide you in all you do. Remember to ask for the help you need and know that you will be strengthened by immersing yourself in prayer. I ask you to come close this night and continue the journey of complete trust in your Father in Heaven, in Jesus Christ, your Lord and God, through the love given to you by the Holy Spirit.

I, your Mother come to you on this night under the title of Our Lady Seat of Wisdom. Come close to me and allow me to guide you to the Eternal Father through my Son Jesus the Christ. Ask your Heavenly Father to replenish you with the gifts of the Holy Spirit. I want you to be filled with the gift of wisdom to help you in your journey of life. You will gain much strength when you come close to my Son Jesus in the tabernacle and when you receive Him in the Blessed Sacrament of the Altar. It is important that you replenish the gift of wisdom in your life as this will enable you to act wisely before stepping out and fulfilling the Eternal Father's plan for you. I ask you to pray to your Father in Heaven to give you knowledge of the truth in your life. Trust completely in His plan for you and step out in faith and follow my Son Jesus. It is most important that you are steeped in your prayer life as you will need to be disciplined to do the Father's work. Be courageous and do not worry about what other think. Step out now and do your Father's Will. The parable of the 10 bridesmaids reminds you the need for you to be prepared. I ask you this night to stay awake for you do not know the time or day when your Lord and Saviour is coming. Begin the journey of faith and trust in your Lord and God and you will be rewarded. I bring many blessings to you this night from your Heavenly Father through my Son Jesus the Christ by the gifts and graces given to you in the Holy Spirit of Love. Be at peace and have joy in your heart as your Lord and Saviour walks close by you and will guide you in all you do. Turn now and include Him in your life.

My heart weeps and the Eternal Father is saddened that so many of His children are not prepared as he has asked them to be. Let a prayer be the first thing to pass your lips each day. Prayer prepares you the coming trials of the day and it is your first nourishment and your strength to over come the obstacles placed in your path. Give honour and praise to The Father for all you are to receive. Give thanks for his love and that he allowed his blood to flow for the forgiveness of your sins. Every time you commit a sin you place my adored Son back on the cross. He forgives all who come to him in humility and with a repentant and contrite heart. He calls all to be with Him in His glorious eternity. Bring as many of your brothers and sisters to Him as you are able. Salvation awaits those who embrace His truth and walk in His loving light. Forgiveness and salvation are found in the true desire to please Almighty God and the obedience of all of his simple and perfect commandments. God is perfect and so are his words and his will.

I ask that you take the messages which I am allowed to give to you and accept the graces which The Eternal Father desires to give to you. Accept His gifts of love and mercy and seek forgiveness from Him for all of your wrongdoing. Know that the way to The Father is through My Adored Son, Jesus, The Christ for He is the Truth. Gain the knowledge of His Truth and show no fear for, within the truth fear does not exist. Be willing witnesses to His Truth and pass His Truth on to all of your brothers and sisters that they may walk in the love and the light of The Christ. Accept the gifts of The Holy Spirit and gain wisdom and understanding. Be humble and obedient and trust Almighty God The Father in all matters. Accept His Holy Will into your lives and remove the distractions which keep you from Him. Come to Him in prayer and receive the Sacraments often. Joyfully perform your penance and pray for all souls which are in Purgatory. Pray that all may be joined in the Eternal Glory of God The Father. Know that the great day will come when all will see the advent of His Glory and Splendour and pray that you remain awake and prepared for His coming. Trust in Him in all you do and always give praise and glory to The Blessed Trinity for all for all they do for you, have done for you and are to do for you
Sandy (fur ball) took a shine to this Rosary which he took from a table during the afternoon Rosary and would not give them up. He spends most of his day in the shrine stretched out in front of the altar so something must be rubbing off. Curious though is that in one of Our Lady’s recent messages She said “even the animals of the wild know to give honour to God so how much more should we give Him honour”
