Ruth Ann stopped receiving Messages to share from the Blessed Virgin Mary on January 25, 1995. On February 23, 1995, Jesus also stopped giving Messages to share. Since that time both Jesus and Mary have requested that we begin to reread the Messages already given and to reflect on them. But most of all, that we begin to live the Messages that have been given.

Message of July 4 1990, from Our Lady to Prayer Groups

My Dear Children,

Continue to pray. Continue to fast. Do all the things My Son has asked you to do. I know this sounds repetitious, but what more can I say? You are doing My Son's will and this is very pleasing to all those in Heaven watching over you. Thank you for all you are doing.

Message of July 25, 1990, from Our Lady to Prayer Groups

My Dear Children,

Continue to fast and pray, especially for those who are in need of prayer. They seem to think they cannot find time for prayer, and this is not the case. Many do not take time to pray. If they only knew that all they have to do is put My Son at the center of their lives, then all other things would come so much easier. Why, My Children, do people continue to make life so difficult for themselves?

Message of Nov. 28, 1990, from Our Lady to Prayer Groups

My Dear Children,

The first and foremost prayer from the heart and mind should be love and concern for you fellow man. We are in trying times, My children. More prayer and fasting are needed. I am placing this concern upon your hearts, for I know you will listen and respond to My call. My Son and I smile down upon you and send you special blessings. Continue to help Me help others by listening to and living the messages.

Message of February 20, 1991, from Our Lady to Prayer Groups

My Dear Children,

I have come to prepare you for My Son's second coming. Many have questioned this, but this is so. You have much work to do. Many need prayer. We do not wish to lose any of Our children. Pray for all I have asked you to pray for. This is a time for graces and God's mercy. Time is running out. Pray...fast...and do penance for all those in need. Your Heavenly Father has sent Me here to guide you back to His light.

Today is a time of prayer and sacrifice. Without these prayers and sacrifices souls will be lost. We do not wish to lose any souls. My children, help Me in this time of need. Time is running out! God wants to supply you with special graces. He wishes to grant His mercy to all who ask for it. Do not let this time slip away from you. Ask for favors now, while you can.

Message of Sept. 25, 1993, from Our Lord Jesus

Ruth Ann: Lord, there are some things bothering me.

Jesus: And these are?

Ruth Ann: I guess You already know, Lord. The business with the chapel. Will You speak to me of this again?

Jesus: Little one, you are concerned about things that should not be of concern to you. The design in the chapel is being placed upon another's heart. What is being done is being watched over by your priest. He has the wisdom and knowledge to see it done correctly. He has been told by My Mother, it is to be the Fifteenth Station, and it has already been named, with Her approval. What is your concern?

Ruth Ann: Others keep saying things like, "The Blessed Mother is going to tell exactly how to build it, and what should be the focus."

Jesus: Little one, you know this is not so. So why do you let it bother you?

Ruth Ann: I don't know.

Jesus: Remember, you are only to listen and be obedient. Share My word, and the words of My Mother. But you need not be concerned with the mechanics. You have shared your land, so that all the things My Mother wishes to have done here will be accomplished. Others will see to it that they are done. There is no need for you to concern yourself with things of that nature. That is why man was given intelligence, and different gifts. My Mother will tap those on the shoulder and call them to share the gifts that God has given them, to bring all of this to fruition. For some, it will be their personal talents, and others it will be profes-sional talent, for some, it will be prayer. Many will send contri-butions. But all those who are to be of help will be sent as needed. Some will choose not to listen, and walk away. But others will be sent to replace those who do not choose to be a part of all that is happening here.

Again I am saying to you, do not be concerned about the chapel. My Mother will see to it that it is done well. She has told you where the chapel is to be, and that is all that is to be of concern to you. She has sent one forth to do the design, and your priest will see that it is tastefully done. You should not be concerned with what others expect. Others did not expect a chapel on the hill, did they?

Ruth Ann: No, Lord. I kept hearing from others that there was supposed to be a crucifix at the top of the hill, and I kept saying, all She, Your Mother, has said to me is, "There will be a memorial to My Son at the top of the hill." I didn't know what was to be there, and so I waited for Her to tell me.

Jesus: You were patient and listened, child. Some would not have done so. You waited, listened, and were obedient. Now, what is to be done will be done correctly. My Mother has said She wished to have a chapel at the top of the hill. She has said that your priest has spoken of a Fifteenth Station, and that this is to be the Fifteenth Station. Your priest has named it. It will fall into place, child. Do not be concerned. Right now, your biggest concern is to regain your strength.

Your illness has been an aggravation to you, but remember to offer it up for the poor souls in purgatory, or for the conversion of sinners, and it will seem a worthwhile time instead of a time of irritation. One must rest while they are ill, so why not give it a purpose? Your illness could be the source of grace someone else needs for conversion. There are so many things that My children could offer up for those who are in need of conversion; a job that is especially distasteful, an errand that they really don't want to do, a kindness done for someone that you'd rather ignore. These and many more are things that could be done to help others save their souls. No one enjoys being ill, but it is a fact of life. However, the inconvenience and irritation of being unable to do the things one wishes to do, could be offered up as a sacrifice for others. My Mother is calling My children to make sacrifices. These are just a few examples of the kinds of things that could be done as sacrifices to help others.

There are many ways to make sacrifices, just as there are many ways to fast. Fasting does not always have to mean food. There are other ways to fast. You can give up something that you enjoy doing. Fast from a movie, a particular television show, or some activity you enjoy. For some, it could mean not smoking. Again, child, these are just some examples of what one can do to help with the salvation of the souls of others.

You are concerned that you have received an incorrect message about My Mother speaking to you after all apparitions have ceased. Do not concern yourself with this. You have asked My Mother again and again, and She has said She will be here as long as you have need of Her. What more can you ask for, little one? Be not afraid, little one. God is going to tend to all of your needs. You are being obedient, listening, and sharing. He will tend to the rest. You will be told those things you need to know, and things that do not need to be told to you, will be placed upon the hearts of others. Those who have other gifts to share will be touched when it is time to do all that needs to be done.

Now, little one, be at peace with what I am telling you. The mechanics of what is being done is not to concern you. All will be done for you, and you can rest assured, it will be done well. My Mother deserves nothing less than the best.

Ruth Ann: Thank You Lord, for Your reassurance. I really needed to hear that, with my backyard and side yard and so forth being in such a mess from the water lines for the building and restrooms. I feel much better now that You have reminded me that You are in control of all that is going on.

Jesus: Know this in your heart, little one. God has a plan, and His plan is always perfect.

Ruth Ann: Yes, Lord. Thank You for taking the time to reassure me and put my mind at ease.

Jesus: If only all My children would bring their concerns to Me. I could put their mind and soul at rest. But they continue to fret and try to solve their problems on their own, without My help, making wrong decisions and causing more and more problems for themselves. If they would only listen, and let Me help them in their time of need. I would be happy to do so.

Now, little one, I know you must get on with your day. Go in My peace.

Ruth Ann: Thank You, Lord. It is the first peace of mind I have had all week. Thank You, thank You, Lord.

Jesus: Bless you, little one.

Message of October 20, 1993, from Our Lady to Prayer Groups

My Dear Children,

Listen to My words. Let the love of My Son touch you in such a way that your response to My call will be one of devout prayer from the heart. Please, dear children, know that what I am asking of you is of the utmost importance. Pray, fast, do penance. Darkness surrounds your country and the whole world. The evil one is trying to destroy what little good there is left in this world. My poor children, you struggle so! Do not be overwhelmed by so much evil. Do what I am telling you. Put all in the hands of God. He can do all things. Good will triumph over evil but much prayer is needed. Be not afraid. I am here as your loving Mother, to comfort, guide, and protect you. I am here to intercede for you, and pray with you to God. Do not lose hope. God is listening. Go in His peace.

Message of January 14, 1994, from Our Lady

Ruth Ann: Mother, back to the part about, 'it would not run smoothly'. I don't remember hearing these words. I remember being told, 'it will all be done for you', but I don't remember the other part.

Our Lady: Child, when you take up the cross and follow My Son, do you expect all to be easy? You were told you were not to concern yourself with the mechanics, and yet, you are finding yourself involved. Give it all to God. He is the solver of problems. Your main thrust for My people is to come from witnessing, prayer, and sharing the goodness of My Son. You are living in a time that is most difficult. Some have been so busy with their life, they have shut out the world around them and are not aware that it is full of darkness. Some are just now becoming aware of the need to turn back to God. It is through those of you willing to pray and witness that many more will be brought back to the flock. Little child, you have been in so much turmoil the past couple of days. You must learn to realize these feelings are attacks from the evil one. Do not be too proud to ask for prayer.

Ruth Ann: But everyone expects me to have all the answers, Mother, they seek answers for those who are in need of healings, both physical and spiritual. They seek answers about the many messages circulating about the end times and the chastisement.

Our Lady: What is your answer for them, child?

Ruth Ann: For those who are concerned about the end times and chastisement, I have told them to focus on Your Son and follow the things You have told us. We are to clean up our lives, and live each day as if it were our last.

Our Lady: That is exactly what I would have you tell them. What have you told those seeking physical healings and spiritual healings?

Ruth Ann: I have told them that You and Your Son have told me to pray with those who ask for prayer, and they will be given the healing that God wishes them to have. No one will be slighted who asks in faith for prayer.

Our Lady: You have been told that as you lay hands on those who come for prayer, it is the same as having been touched by God. He has asked you to be His hands and feet here on the earth. He has asked you to listen and share. These are all important things for you to remember. You cringe to have to repeat this, because you feel this is something that is nearly blasphemous. You feel unworthy to do this work that God has asked of you, but He has said to you, "If not you, then who?" You are not a prideful person. You are most humble. Humility is very important in doing the work of My Son. My Son Jesus was most humble, and so was I. It was not always easy following the will of God, but again, we have not been promised easy. We have been promised the rewards of eternal life for doing the will of the Father. That is the most important promise to His children. It has been earned through the suffering and death of His Son, My most humble and perfect of children, Jesus.

My children know that the purification of the earth is imminent, for this is to be, before My Son can come to the earth. Pray, fast, and do penance, but do not be consumed with the doom and gloom. A mother expecting her child knows that the pains of childbirth are most difficult and traumatic, but she does not focus on the labor. She focuses on the result of this painful ordeal. Otherwise, she would not be able to enjoy each day of the pregnancy. She would not anticipate the beautiful gift of life and birth. So too, it is with My children, concerning the purification of your land. Do not focus on the pains and suffering of the cleansing of your earth. Concentrate on the rebirth of your earth. Focus on the result of this cleansing, the return of My Son to a land purified by the blood of martyrs for the greater honor and glory of God. Focus on a purified earth, and the gift of My Son's Second Coming and peace that will reign for a thousand years. These are the things that My children must focus on.

The evil one would have you so afraid for what is to come, that you will despair and not be able to pray and do all that is asked of you. Children, pray for peace that can come only from God. Once you have peace in your heart, nothing else matters, bodies and things of the world are only temporary. It is the soul that matters. Keep that in mind, My children. Focus on that. That is most important, the gift of eternal salvation, the saving of your soul, to spend an eternity in praise and thanksgiving to your Creator. Be not afraid, little children. Focus on My Son who is light, love and peace. Do all that is asked of you. God will do the rest.

Now, child, go in the peace of My Son. Continue to witness to My children of His goodness and love. Bring them back to the fold, so that their lives will be changed and they will be prepared for the Second Coming of My Son.

Message of January 16, 1994, from Our Lady to Prayer Groups

My Dear Children,

God loves you. How many times must I say these words to you before you understand the importance of this message? Those of you who truly understand have given your lives over to God. You have allowed these words to penetrate your heart and, as a result, are praying more. Now, you must not only pray, but you must fast and do pennance. Your world is filled with sin. You are mired down in pride, lust and greed. My children, rid yourselves of these sins. Leave them at the foot of the cross. Repent of all those things that keep you away from the peace that can only come to you from the One Who loves you. Continue to persevere in your prayer. Know your Mother is here with you to listen and pray with you. God loves you no matter the condition of your soul. But you must turn away from those things that keep you from truly showing your love for Him. Open your hearts dear children, I am blessing you in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. My mantle surrounds you. You must pray! Accept the graces being poured out on you in abundance in this place of prayer and peace. God loves you. Go in His peace and change your lives.

Message of January 24, 1994, from Our Lord Jesus

Ruth Ann: Lord, I thank You again for seeing me through another talk. You are truly amazing. You did it all. Thank You, thank You, thank You!

Jesus: You had been told it would go well and the graces and blessings would be poured out in abundance.

Ruth Ann: Lord, I could feel the power surge through me over and over, and out into the people receiving prayer. You were magnificent!

Jesus: Little one, each person who came to you in faith for prayer, can expect a miracle. I gave many healings and blessings last night to My people, and I thank you, little one, for ministering to them. I thank you for being a willing vessel and allowing yourself to be used in such a way.

Ruth Ann: Lord, even with this peace and joy, there is sadness in my heart.

Jesus: Yes little one, and I understand. You do not understand why there is such a need for those such as you to minister to My people.

Ruth Ann: No, I truly don't, Lord. Can things really be so bad on the earth that You need such as me to boost the faith of others?

Jesus: Yes little one, things are bad. Many are leaving their churches. Satan has 'done a number' on your world, little one, right under your nose. The removal of many things that were extremely important as faith-builders in your day has caused some to pull away. Others have been drawn away by laziness and lack of love for their God. Subtle things have been done on the earth, causing people to lose faith, faith in their God. Little children such as you are needed to remind your world just how far man has moved away from Me. Many eyes are being opened as to the causes, but it is too late for man to correct his horrendous errors. It is going to take the power of God to bring about a miraculous change in your world.

Pray, little child, that man will begin to awaken from this sleep of darkness that has covered your land, family, and even penetrated the holy places of worship. Pray for conversions. Be attentive to the signs, My children. Listen to what My Mother is telling you. Be obedient children and follow the rules set down for you by God in the Ten Commandments. Attend Mass and receive Communion as frequently as possible. Confess your sins. Fast and do penance. All of these are necessary to prepare you for what is to come. Times are not going to get easier. Much prayer is needed. Be attentive to God's words, little one. Continue to minister to My people. There is a great need and hunger for the words you are sharing. Your mission will only grow, child, because of your obedience to listen and share.

I bless you little one. Continue to do the will of God just as many others have done so before you. Go in My peace to love and serve God.

Message of January 26, 1994, from Our Lady to Prayer Groups

My Dear Children,

Please be attentive to the words being spoken to you in My messages. Many of you have be-come complacent and seek to hear new words. Understand the import-ance of what is being said to you. Realize the urgency of My words. You are living in the 'end times', little children, and many don't even recognize the signs. I am your Mother, but as all mothers, I cannot change your heart. This is up to you. You must pray, fast, and do penance. Ask the Holy Spirit to enlighten you as to the importance of My messages. These are not just words. The power of hell has been unleashed upon your earth with the fury of a woman scorned. Do not take these words lightly. Pray, dear children, pray!

Message of July 23, 1994, from Our Lord Jesus

Ruth Ann: Lord, I am listening.

Jesus: Yes child, and I thank you. There is much I wish to say. You become saddened by those things that you are unable to control, and I wish to tell you of the love I have for you. All My children are called to make sacrifices, pray, fast, and do penance. So many have forgotten what it is to make a sacrifice; to give up something that you truly desire is almost unheard of in this day and age. To do penance is something that My children do very little of these days. Not many choose to do those things they find difficult to do, for the love of God. Even the prayer life of many leaves something to be desired. Fasting is rarely done because of the inconvenience or discomfort it brings to those who sometimes try. Not many of My children are willing to do much, or suffer much, for Me, Who gave everything for them.

Child, continue to pray for hearts to be changed. All of these things I am asking you to do for Me, the sacrifices, are for others to see that it is possible. Man must realize that with all the evil that continues to take over your world, there must be those who are willing to take a stand for the good that only God can bring about. My Mother continues to call Her children to pray, fast, do penance, and make sacrifices. Most of what She calls My children to do, falls on deaf ears. That is why I am pleased that those Who truly are listening, are choosing to come to these places being set aside all over the world, as special places of prayer.

Where two or more are gathered together in My Name, I will be in their midst. My Mother has said the same thing. When those She is calling gather together to pray, She is praying with them. That is a special gift for those who are listening. Blessings and graces abound for those truly listening, and taking My Mother's messages seriously. My Mother gave up everything for the love of God, and as a result of this great love and total sacrifice, I will deny Her nothing. Those who do not understand the importance of My Mother as an intercessor, are missing much in their lives. It is through Her that the evil one will be destroyed.

She has been calling together a mighty army of 'prayer warriors' to fight a mighty battle. It is not a physical battle, but one of a spiritual nature. Good against evil is the war being waged at this time. From everything you read, hear, and see in the media, evil is being shoved down your throats. That is the way of the evil one. He continues to condition those of the world, so after a while those things that used to shock or disgust, become so common that they become accepted. Man accepts more and more that is evil. Your world is nearly in total ruins. The moral decay is shocking to behold to those who truly live by the word of God, which is truth. How far My children have strayed, little one!

My Mother is here to draw all back to Me who will listen. Those who are listening must accept the responsibility, and pray for those who are not listening. In that way, change can come about. Good will triumph over evil, but there is to be much pain, suffering, and sacrifice, in order for this to come about. Man is bringing these things upon himself, due to his lack of love and obedience to the will of God. Hatred, greed, and envy are commonplace in your world. Where is love? Where is the caring and sharing of your gifts with others? You are your brother's keeper; whether you acknowledge this responsibility or not is up to you.

When you stand before the Throne of God on judgment day, God will not ask, "How much did you accumulate while you were on the earth?" No, He will ask, "What did you do with what I gave you?" Many of you will have to answer sadly, "I kept it all to myself." To some, much is given, and from those, much is expected. I find that many who have little are the ones who share, because they are used to having little, and appreciate the little that God has given to them.

Child, I have told you before, it takes someone who is willing to make sacrifices of a visible nature, to draw others to also make sacrifices. Through your giving of self, others will follow your example and be willing to make sacrifices on My behalf. So do not take your respon-sibility lightly. You are being called to help others become Christlike. Through your love and sacrifice being made for Me, others will wish to follow your example. Through you and your family sacrificing much, much will be given to you in return. Eternal Salvation is a great reward. There is none greater. Continue to persevere, and know God's love awaits you for all eternity.

Ruth Ann: Thank You, Lord. I love You.

Jesus: I love you, little one. Go in My peace.

Message of Sept. 29, 1994, from Our Lord Jesus

Ruth Ann: Lord, please help me to have the strength and courage to do Your will. So many of your people are struggling, Lord.

Jesus: Little one, you are right when you say 'so many of My children are struggling'. But why are many struggling? It is because the prince of darkness and father of lies has them confused and full of fear for their souls, and the souls of their loved ones. He has left them with the idea that all hope is gone. Where there is life, there is hope, and where there is hope, there is the redeeming Lord and Savior waiting with outstretched arms. He wishes to welcome them back into His Heart, and into the comfort of His tender loving care. Your Jesus awaits each one, as the father of the prodigal son awaited his return from a life of sin and rejections, and all that was good and holy.

It matters not what you have done, little children. Come to Me. I have died on the Cross for your sins. They have been forgiven. Repent and start over, little ones. Find your peace in Me, the Prince of Peace. My Mother continues to call out to all, 'Return to My Son. God loves you'. This is so, little one. There is so little time, and yet My children still hesitate and wait for more signs that these things are for real. Man wishes to wait until the last minute to turn his life over to Me, yet he knows neither the day nor the hour of My coming.

Man must wake up and face facts. The world is changing, and it is not for the good. All the signs that My children continue to receive do not seem to make an impression on them. Those of you who are listening must continue to listen and pray for hardened hearts to be broken open. You know and I know, that prayer can move mountains. As I walked on the earth and performed many miracles, I turned to My Father in Heaven in prayer. You too, must turn to prayer. Ask God to forgive those who continue to turn their back on Him. Ask for His mercy on all those who deliberately break all the rules set down for man in the Ten Commandments.

The world is in a sorry state, little one. It is not through the fault of your Creator. It is through the grace and mercy of God, however, that man is still alive and the earth has not been destroyed. Much prayer is needed for your world. More must listen, and take the messages being sent here from Heaven more seriously. My Mother is serious about the heavy hand of God. She is serious about the need for prayer, fasting, and turning away from all that is evil. She is serious when She says, "Turn back to God, and choose good over evil." When will My children listen, and take seriously, all that is being said and shown to them?

Continue to do all that is asked of you, little one. You will be given the strength to witness to the greatness and goodness of God. I know it is difficult for you to be visible and walk among My people. Your personality is such that you prefer to stay hidden from the public. It is because of this that you are asked to do the things you are to do. Pick up your cross and follow Me. You have heard these words before, have you not? The cross will become heavier, and heavier, little one, but you will have many 'Simon's' to assist you along the way, through prayer, support of family and friends, and the love of your Jesus, your cross will be carried.

So be not afraid. Know that I am with you, and will give you all the strength and support you need along your path to Calvary. Let My children know that if I can work miracles in your life, they too, have hope. My love is just as real today as it was 2000 years ago, and so is the strength and power of your God. The Holy Spirit is working in a powerful way in these, the end times. Be accepting of this gift that is so needed in your world today. Be at peace, little one, continue to serve your God, and do all that is asked of you. God's love and strength is there for you.

Ruth Ann: Thank You, Lord.
