Summary

“…I desire your full attention when you come to Me in prayer. Worldly concerns should be surrendered to My care before you pray.” (God the Father, May 15, 2018)

“Before you pray, remember the many times I have come to your rescue. None of these times were happenstance. Every time I answered your prayers it was by the Hand of grace. Be convinced that I love you and want only your best – your salvation – then begin to pray.” (God the Father, September 22, 2018)

[Paraphrase: Before you pray…Surrender the distraction of situations and problems which only I can resolve.] “…Worldly debris is the material goods of the world which you do not need. It is the distraction of situations and problems which only I can resolve. Your failure to surrender all of these things before you pray is a weapon which Satan uses to weaken the prayer of your heart.” (God the Father, November 24, 2018)

“…Before you pray, ask the angels and the saints to protect the intentions of your heart.” (God the Father, June 6, 2019)

“Before you pray, ask the angels to defend you against Satan’s attacks. The angels are ready to assist you and to defend you even against the smallest distractions. They desire your prayer time be meaningful.” (God the Father, August 31, 2022)

Once again, I (Maureen) see a Great Flame that I have come to know as the Heart of God the Father. He says: “I am Creator and Father of the Universe. Do not waste any present moment on fear or worry. These are not of Me and will not change anything about the future. Prayer changes things. Good works touch My Heart. Sacrifice is a strong force when coupled with prayer and good works.”

“Do not live in disarray, but always in an orderly fashion, so that when you pray you can clear your mind more easily. I desire your full attention when you come to Me in prayer. Worldly concerns should be surrendered to My care before you pray.”

“The enemy is trying to discourage all prayer, especially the prayer of the Rosary. * He sees and knows the power of prayer towards his final defeat. For many, it is only after Satan’s defeat that they will realize the error of their ways. Keep praying that My Wrath is forestalled until My Remnant is strengthened through prayer, sacrifice and good works.”

Read Colossians 3:23-25+

Whatever your task, work heartily, as serving the Lord and not men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward; you are serving the Lord Christ. For the wrongdoer will be paid back for the wrong he has done, and there is no partiality.

* The purpose of the Rosary is to bring souls closer to Jesus Christ by deepening one’s knowledge and love of Him and to help keep in memory certain principal events in the history of our salvation.

Once again, I (Maureen) see a Great Flame that I have come to know as the Heart of God the Father. He says: “Children, guard against any form of discouragement, as that is the negative voice of Satan. He does not want you to be at peace for when you are at peace, you can pray more easily. The evil one tries to stop your prayers by destroying the hope in your hearts. Without hope, your prayers do not rise from a heart of faith. Lack of faith weakens your prayers.”

“Prayer changes people’s hearts, their goals and their acceptance of My Will. Continue to pray, pray, pray.”

Read 1 John 3:3+

And every one who thus hopes in him purifies himself as he is pure.

Once again, I (Maureen) see a Great Flame that I have come to know as the Heart of God the Father. He says: “Children, today, I recommend My Intentions to you. As you pray, rid your hearts of all clutter and focus on the divine. Worldly debris is the material goods of the world which you do not need. It is the distraction of situations and problems which only I can resolve. Your failure to surrender all of these things before you pray is a weapon which Satan uses to weaken the prayer of your heart.”

“My most important intention is your undistracted prayer so that I am able to use your prayers in a most powerful way. Then, all that stands to be corrected in hearts and in the world slips out of Satan’s grasp. Focus on My Omnipotence and the ways I inspire people to do good. Focus on My Power to overcome all evil. Pray with the assurance of the Power of My Intercession. When you focus in this way, your prayers are most powerful. I use them to fulfill My Divine Will in the world.”

Read Philippians 4:4-7+

Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice. Let all men know your forbearance. The Lord is at hand. Have no anxiety about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, will keep your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Read Colossians 3:1-4+

If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. For you have died, and your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.

Once again, I (Maureen) see a Great Flame that I have come to know as the Heart of God the Father. He says: “The intentions of the heart are what I listen to and what the soul is judged on. Love needs to rule the heart when the soul turns to prayer. It is such a prayer that I respond to. Holy Love needs to stand guard over the heart.”

“The enemy tries to disengage good intentions through discouragement and distractions. This is how he thwarts My Will. Before you pray, ask the angels and the saints to protect the intentions of your heart.”

“Sin is the bad fruit of evil intentions – intentions not formed based upon love of Me and neighbor. Such intentions are not inspired by the Holy Spirit, but by a dark spirit – a spirit of destruction of your salvation.”

“At the close of the day, the soul needs to examine his actions. He can easily do so by fixing his conscience on the merit of his intentions throughout the day. Were his intentions focused on pleasing Me or pleasing self? Did he always have love in his heart – an edifying love that reflected love of My Commandments?”

“Make certain the intentions of your thoughts, words and deeds are a reflection of Holy Love. Then I am most attentive to your prayer intentions.”

Read Ephesians 4:29-30, 5:1-2+

Let no evil talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for edifying, as fits the occasion, that it may impart grace to those who hear. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.

Once again, I (Maureen) see a Great Flame that I have come to know as the Heart of God the Father. He says: “The soul who trusts Me is the soul who is at peace. The peaceful heart prays well without worry. Such a heart has hope that his prayers reach an understanding, sympathetic Heart of their Creator. When the soul prays, Satan attacks through doubts and fears. If the soul is unsuspecting of such attacks, he will not be prepared to defend himself against them. The prayerful heart is Satan’s target.”

Read Exodus 23:20-21+

Behold, I send an angel before you, to guard you on the way and to bring you to the place which I have prepared. Give heed to him and hearken to his voice, do not rebel against him, for he will not pardon your transgression; for my name is in him.
