"Dear children! I have told you already that I have chosen you in a special way, the way you are. I, the Mother, love you all and whenever you have difficulties do not worry because I love you all even when you are far away from me and my Son. I beg you not to allow my heart to cry with tears of blood because of the souls who are being lost in sin. Therefore, dear children, pray, pray, pray! Thank you for having responded to my call. "
