Thank you for your prayers and for inviting me to be with you on this day. I, again, tell you that you are never alone because I am given to you as your mother. I was with my Adored Son, Jesus through His entire life. I accepted and stood firm in God’s will for His conception at the time of the annunciation, through His formation and birth I stood by Him and His plan, trusted Him and loved Him as well as during His growth and I followed Him as He went into His public ministry. I was with Him at all times and I was with Him when He suffered so much and died. I was with Him when He ascended to our Father and also when His light was given through the Holy Spirit. I never left Him and He, in like manner, never abandoned me. He gave you to me as my children and as I did for Him, I will do for the least of you as He commanded. His promise was to send the Holy Spirit to show you that you were loved and not orphaned by Him and He gave me to you to guide and comfort, nourish, protect and to be with you at all times and especially during your difficult times. Some call me queen but that title is given to me by our Eternal father by virtue of My motherhood to The King of Heaven. I accept in humility His gifts and graces but in simplicity I want you to know that I, who am simply your mother, will always lead you to Him for He is your King and your brother and your redeemer. No one will go to our Father except through He who is the Son. He was promised from the beginning of time as revealed in the ancient Scriptures and His promise was fulfilled by His passion and His resurrection. Trust in Him and His mercy and forgiveness and grow strong in that knowledge for all is able to be cleansed and forgiven and nothing which is forgiven will be held against you at the time you stand before the seat of judgement. Pray for peace and acceptance of God’s Holy will as I did and know His joy and abundance. Read Micah 5 1 – 5 and see the promise of the truth and the light as revealed in 1 john 1 verse 9

Thank you for asking to be with you this day. I call upon my children to again search their souls and to recognise and remove the imperfections which all have. It is one thing to have fault but quite another to reject them and not see the offence which is caused to our Father by your persistent desire to remain flawed. Seek Almighty God’s help and strength through the quietness of prayer and know that all who ask to be healed in humility and with true contrition and a pure heart will be granted their request. Trust that the love of the Father as shown through The Son and given by The Holy Spirit will always be available to all of my children. I ask you on this day to consecrate all to my Immaculate Heart for it is by that act and belief that the rule of satan will be destroyed. Satan fights hard as his grip is released and he will never stop until all reject him and his evil hordes. You will be persecuted and ridiculed for believing the light and truth of the word of my Adored Son Jesus so have courage to persevere and do battle for His holy cause. Do not fear His return for it will come about as He promised and all will be renewed. The time is near and so many of my children still wander in darkness. Reach out to them and show the light which leads to the path of eternal salvation. Repair your damaged souls through the gifts of The Sacraments and gain knowledge through the Holy Scriptures. Listen and act upon the words and signs which have been given by our gracious God and remain awake and prepared for the moment to come. Read the
Gospel of Luke 21 verses 12 - 19
8th November 2006 (Apparition night)
My dear little one,
Be strengthened this night by the graces poured down upon you by your Heavenly Father through His Son in the grace of the Holy Spirit. Do not be afraid to face the trials which come upon you. Ask for the help you need to persevere always with peace in your heart. It is important for you to remain steadfast and consistent in your faith. Do not be swayed by the opinions of others. Listen to the words given to you from the Heavens above. You will gain the knowledge needed through reading the Holy Scriptures. The trials you face are no different than those faced by your brothers-in-Christ the Apostles. Learn the lessons needed through reading the challenges they faced from those who persecuted them for their faith. Stay close by your prayers and seek the protection from your Heavenly family. Gird yourself with the belt of salvation. Put on your armour of faith. Be strong and committed through your prayers. If you waver in your commitment of prayers you will loose the focus needed to stay fervent in your faith. Do not become distracted by the little trials you face. Stay close to my Son Jesus and let Him give you the nourishment you need. Lead a virtuous life where you step out always with gentleness and compassion. Let go of any anger you may hold against those who hurt you through their thoughtless actions. Turn away from wanting to repay an eye for an eye. Turn the other cheek and let Christ be your focus. Imitate His ways in all you do. You are asked to step out and be a disciple of His merciful love. Are you prepared to do this work? Are you committed to love those who are so difficult to love? You are asked to love all of God’s people. You are asked not to judge but to love. Judge not the person only the action. Christ Jesus reached out in love to those who were despised by others. He loved the unloved. He saw through the outer layer to the heart within. You are asked to love in the very same way. Follow the path of your Lord and Saviour which will lead you to your salvation. Reach out and love the unloved. Be courageous and strong in your commitment to be a servant of Divine love. Accept the graces given to you this night to step out and do the missionary work of God’s love.

My children
I ask you to listen to the words I am allowed to give to you. Time is of the essence. Do not delay any longer. Change the way you are leading your lives. Pray to your Heavenly Father for those of your loved ones and friends who need to experience a deep conversion of their hearts. Pray that they are open to accept the love that the Father has to give to them through His Son Jesus. I ask you to step out and take up the challenge to be a Disciple of Divine love. Change the way you lead your life and know that when you humble your heart and let go of your burdens you hold onto, the love of God can flood your soul through the merciful love of His Son Christ Jesus. The changes you make will be evident to others as they will notice a difference in the way you lead your life. The peace and joy will flow out to others and will be an influence on them opening their hearts and accepting their Jesus as Lord and Saviour into their lives. The work of reaching out and shepherding many back onto the narrow path is plentiful. Take this time you have been given to spend in quietness and prayer and rest close to My Son Jesus and His Most Sacred Heart. The time is coming soon when you will need to be ready to step out and be the light of Christ to those who are trapped in darkness and despair. I ask you to use this Advent Season as a time of preparation. Prepare yourself well by taking time in stillness and prayer and by receiving my Son Jesus as often as you can. Be strengthened and understand more fully that your Prince of Peace is close to you. Do not neglect to acknowledge Him and to recognize the many ways He tries to help you to live a life steeped in the gifts and graces of the Holy Spirit. Accept the Divine peace and joy He gives to you and during these Christmas celebrations spread this peace, love and joy to the many loved ones and friends you meet. Open your eyes to those who are alone and feel lost and abandoned and reach out and help them to see the light of Christ by the Christ-like love you show to all. Christmas is not about the many gifts given but instead about receiving the precious gift of the child Jesus into your heart and then passing His bountiful love onto many. I ask you to begin this journey of child-like trust this night and change the hearts of all by the changes you make in your lives this Christmas season. Reach out in love and help give the precious gift of Christ’s love to those in need.
Rest in peace Mary
On the 29th November I had a phone call from Mary Ehn (pictured left) at 6.45 pm West Australia time. We chatted about what was happening and she asked me to say prayers for her. She also repeated “Please make sure you tell everyone I love them”. After finishing the conversation I went through and said to the Rosary group that we needed to pray for Mary. On Friday morning I received a phone call to say that Mary had passed away. As I write this I am waiting for Mary’s funeral in Darwin on Monday 18th December. I flew up today 16th December from Perth.
Mary was an amazing lady and from what I hear belonged to so many organizations.
She was so generous and kind hearted. We came to know her when we visited Darwin in May and Mary accompanied us out to Port Keats and around Darwin. She then came and stayed with us and accompanied us on our trip to Victoria in August. She then stayed in Rockingham until the end of September when she left to have an operation in Brisbane. Mary travelled down to meet us at Alice Springs on 10th November. Mary had been adopted by an aboriginal lady in Wadeye and when we visited there in May the same lady asked whether she could adopt Eileen and I. Mary was able to give us our aboriginal names while in Alice Springs.
I am now home after attending the funeral in Darwin. It was a beautiful celebration of Mary’s life and in the eulogy they told how Mary was in the finalists for the 2007 Australian of the Year in the Senior section. The readings that were chosen for the funeral were very appropriate as it was the reading of the Good Samaritan. Mary’s life depicted this reading. She was in so many groups and chose to help those in need and not dwell on what life had handed her. May she rest in peace.
