Mary, Refuge of Holy Love says: “Praise be to Jesus.”

“My daughter, today, I invite you to realize the power of persevering prayer. Certainly, the very existence of this Ministry in this Diocese lends testimony to that.* As we were exiled from place to place just to pray the rosary, we persevered until we found this sanctuary and established a safe harbor where all people and all nations are invited to come and pray.** Heaven never abandoned your efforts. Whereas before you never knew where or how the next form of harassment may come, now you are safe and all are free to make pilgrimage here and to pray.”

“In a similar way, I invite all to persevere in prayer for the heart of the world. It has chosen exile from the Will of God and from His Commandments. I offer the safe harbor of My Immaculate Heart, but this invitation, for the most part, goes unnoticed. I am counting on the prayer effort of the Remnant Faithful. I encourage these souls to persevere with fortitude. Do not allow Satan to discourage you or to distract you.”

“It is the fruit of a consolidated, miraculous effort that gave the world Maranatha Spring and Shrine without the cooperation of any of influence. My humble presence is always here and assisting you in any opposition – guiding and protecting all who come so that you feel secure in your prayer effort.”

“When you step onto the property it is as though time stands still and you are enfolded in God's grace. This is a presence no one can arbitrate or dispute. No one can rule against Heaven's grace.”

*Reference to the existence and perseverance of the ecumenical Mission and Ministry of Holy and Divine Love at the Sanctuary of Maranatha Spring and Shrine within the Diocese of Cleveland, Ohio.

**Reference to the Sanctuary of Maranatha Spring and Shrine established in 1995 as the center of the ecumenical Ministry of Holy and Divine Love open to all people and all nations.

Read Acts 5:38-39+

Synopsis: The Pharisee, Gamaliel, and his caution to his fellow Pharisees that if the work of the Apostles is of men, it will be overthrown; but if it is of God, they may find themselves fighting against God by their persecution of the Apostles.

“So in the present case, I tell you, keep away from these men and let them alone; because if this plan or this undertaking is of human origin, it will fail; but if it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow them – in that case you may even be found fighting against God!”
