Message from God The Father given to Visionary Maureen Sweeney-Kyle in North Ridgeville, USA

Once again, I (Maureen) see a Great Flame that I have come to know as the Heart of God the Father. He says: "Children, do not allow the spirit of discouragement to overshadow your prayers. Be united - good against evil. Victory is still within your grasp if you continue to pray. Satan's real victory is in stopping your prayers and aborting your faith in prayer. Every 'Hail Mary'* makes a difference and weakens Satan. He does not want you to comprehend this. This is why I tell you, as long as you pray, you are chipping away at Satan's overall scheme of things and winning many small victories. Often you do not see the effects your prayers have upon evil efforts. If you pray your whole life and save just one soul, your life is victorious. However, I tell you, many rosaries** save many souls - souls you will not meet until the next life."

"When you pray the rosary, the Holy Mother is holding your hand. Any prayer spans the abyss between Heaven and earth and changes people's motives, events and more. Therefore, have faith the size of a mustard seed and pray, pray, pray."

Read Luke 17:6+

And the Lord said, "If you had faith as a grain of mustard seed, you could say to this sycamine tree, 'Be rooted up, and be planted in the sea,' and it would obey you.

* Hail Mary, Full of Grace, The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now, and at the hour of our death. Amen.

Beginning with Mary's unique cooperation with the working of the Holy Spirit, the Churches developed their prayer to the holy Mother of God, centering it on the person of Christ manifested in his mysteries. In countless hymns and antiphons expressing this prayer, two movements usually alternate with one another: the first "magnifies" the Lord for the "great things" he did for his lowly servant and through her for all human beings the second entrusts the supplications and praises of the children of God to the Mother of Jesus, because she now knows the humanity which, in her, the Son of God espoused.

** The purpose of the Rosary is to help keep in memory certain principal events in the history of our salvation. There are four sets of Mysteries that center on the events of Christ's life: Joyful, Sorrowful, Glorious and - added by Saint John Paul II in 2002 - the Luminous. The Rosary is a Scripture-based prayer that begins with the Apostles' Creed; the Our Father, which introduces each mystery, is from the Gospels; and the first part of the Hail Mary prayer is the Archangel Gabriel’s words announcing Christ's birth and Elizabeth's greeting to Mary. St. Pius V officially added the second part of the Hail Mary. The repetition in the Rosary is meant to lead one into restful and contemplative prayer related to each Mystery. The gentle repetition of the words helps us to enter into the silence of our hearts, where Christ's spirit dwells. The Rosary can be said privately or with a group.
