4. HOW TO ANSWER GOD’S CALL TO LOVE AND HOLINESS:
IMITATE MARY’S QUALITIES OF MOTHERHOOD
13^th February 1999

MARY: In order to accomplish the will of God on earth, and in order for peace to come onto the earth and into the hearts and minds of all people who love God, it is necessary to embrace the love of your Mother, and to trust me, and to love me with the love of your Triune God – Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Secondly, in order to imitate me as Mother, because your vocation is also motherhood to the whole earth in imitation of mine, you need to develop within you, with the help of Jesus in Holy Communion and in the other Sacraments, and with the help of the Holy Spirit, especially through the Sacraments of Baptism and Confirmation, certain qualities which are the essence of motherhood.

WHICH QUALITIES ARE THE ESSENCE OF MOTHERHOOD?
They are:

1.    Unselfishness in order to do God’s will with generosity and love.

2.    Graciousness to all those Jesus places on your path.

3.    Gentleness, especially in the face of adversity and danger, because love is gentle in its dealings with others.

4.    Respect for all people’s beliefs whether they be in accordance with your own belief system.

5.    Courage to persevere in your beliefs in the teaching of Jesus Christ.

6.    Complete and utter obedience to those in authority, divinely appointed by God the Father; these include bishops, priests who are loyal to the Magisterium, to the Teachings of the Church.

7.    And finally, you need to keep your head and think things out intelligently. Ask the Holy Spirit for the gifts of wisdom and discernment of God’s will in your every day life.
