Thank you for your response to my call."

MARCH 20, 1986: "Dear children; I am calling you to an active approach to prayer. You wish to live everything I am telling you, but you do not have results from your efforts because you do not pray. Dear children, I beg you to open yourselves and begin to pray. Prayer will be joy. If you begin, it will not be boring because you will pray out of pure joy. Thank you for your response to my call."

MARCH 27, 1986: "Dear children; I wish to thank you for your sacrifices and invite you to the greatest sacrifice, the sacrifice of love. Without love, you are not able to accept me or my Son.

APRIL 3, 1986: "Dear children; I wish to call you to live the Holy Mass. There are many of you who have experienced the beauty of the Mass, but there are some who come unwillingly.

Come with love and accept the Holy Mass. Thank you for your response to my call."

APRIL 17, 1986: "Dear children; Now you are preoccupied about material things and, in the material, you lose everything that God wants to give you. I am inviting you, dear children, to pray for the gifts of the Holy Spirit that you need now in order that you may witness my presence here and in everything I am giving you. Dear children, abandon yourselves to me so that I can lead you totally. Do not be so preoccupied about the material things of the world. Thank you for your response to my call."

APRIL 24, 1986: "Dear children; Today I am calling you to prayer. You are forgetting that everyone is important, especially the elderly in the family. Incite them to pray.

Thank you for your response to my call."

Only in that way will I give you as petals to Jesus in fulfillment of God's plan. Thank you for your response to my call."

MAY 8, 1986: "Dear children; You are responsible for the messages. The source of grace is here, but you, dear children, are the vehicles transmitting the gifts. Therefore, dear children, I am calling you to work responsibly. Every- one will be responsible according to his own measure. Dear children, I am calling you to give the gift to others with love and not to keep it for yourselves. Thank you for your response to my call."

MAY 15, 1986: "Dear children; Today I am calling you to give me your heart so I can change it to be like mine. You are asking yourselves, dear children, why you cannot respond to what I am asking from you. You cannot, because you have not given me your heart so I can change it. You are seeking, but you are not acting. I call you to do everything I tell you. In that way, I will be with you. Thank you for your response to my call."

MAY 22, 1986: "Dear children; Today I will give you my love. You don't know, dear children, how great is my love and you don't know how to accept it. In many ways, I wish to express it; but you, dear children, do not recognize it. You don't comprehend my words by your heart and, so, you are not able to accept all I am saying to you and all I am calling you for. Thank you for your response to my call."

MAY 29, 1986: "Dear children; Today I am calling you to a life of love toward God and your neighbor. Without love, dear children, you cannot do anything. Therefore, dear children, I am calling you to live in mutual love. Only in that way can you love me and accept everyone around you. Through coming to your parish, everyone will feel my love through you. Therefore, today I beg you to start with the burning love with which I love you. Thank you for your response to my call."

JUNE 5, 1986: "Dear children; Today I am calling you to decide if you wish to live the messages I am giving you. I wish you to be active in living and transmitting the messages. Especially, dear children, I desire you to be the reflections of Jesus, who enlightens an unfaithful world which is walking in darkness. I wish that all of you may be a light to all and witness to the light. Dear children, you are not called to darkness. You are called to light and to live the light in your lives. Thank you for your response to my call."

JUNE 12, 1986: "Dear children; Today I am begging you to pray the Rosary with lively faith. Only in this way can I help you. Pray! I cannot help you because you don't want to be moved! Dear children, I am calling you to pray the Rosary. The Rosary should be your commitment, prayed by you with joy and so you will understand why I am visiting you for such a long time. I want to teach you to pray! Thank you for your response to my call."

JUNE 19, 1986: "Dear children; In these days the Lord has allowed me to intercede for more graces for you. Therefore, dear children, I want to urge you once again to prayer. Pray constantly and, in this way, I will give you the joy which the Lord gives me. With these graces, dear children, I want your sufferings to be, for you, a joy. I am your Mother, and I want to help you. Thank you for your response to my call."

JULY 3, 1986: "Dear children; Today I am calling you to prayer. Without prayer, you cannot feel me, nor God, nor the graces I am giving you.

I invite you to let prayer have the first place. Thank you for your response to my call."

Thank you for your response to my call."

JULY 24, 1986: "Dear children; I am happy about all of you who are on the way of holiness and I am begging you to help all those, with your witness, who don't know how to live in the way of holiness.

Thank you for your response to my call."

JULY 31, 1986: "Dear children; Hatred creates division and does not see anybody or anything. I invite you always to carry unity and peace.

Only this way will you be completely mine and I will be able to help you. Thank you for your response to my call."

AUGUST 7, 1986: "Dear children; You know I promised you an Oasis of Peace here, but you are not aware that around every oasis is a desert where Satan is lurking. He wants to tempt each one of you. Dear children, only by prayer are you able to overcome every influence of Satan in your place. I am with you, but I can't take away your free will. Thank you for your response to my call."

AUGUST 14, 1986: "Dear children; I am inviting you so that your prayer may be a joyful encounter with the Lord. I cannot guide you unless you yourself experience joy in prayer.

In that way I will be able to teach you and lead you on this road I began with you. Thank you for your response to my call."

SEPTEMBER 4, 1986: "Dear children; Today, again, I am calling you to prayer and fasting. You know, dear children, that with your help I can do everything and force Satan not to seduce people to evil and to remove him from this place. Satan, dear children, watches for every individual.

Thank you for your response to my call."

SEPTEMBER 18, 1986: "Dear children; Today, again, I am grateful for everything you have done for me in these days. I am thanking you in the name of Jesus, especially for the sacrifices you have offered in the last week.

Thank you for your response to my call."

SEPTEMBER 25, 1986: "Dear children; Through your own peace, I am calling you to help others to see and to start searching for peace.

Pray for truth to prevail in every heart. Thank you for your response to my call."

OCTOBER 2, 1986: "Dear children; Today, again, I invite you to prayer. You, dear children, do not realize the preciousness of prayer until you say nothing else. Now is the time of prayer. Now, nothing else is important. Now, nobody is important except God. Dear children, dedicate yourselves to prayer with special love and, only in that way, can God give you graces. Thank you for your response to my call."

OCTOBER 9, 1986: "Dear children; You know that I wish to guide you on the way to holiness; but I do not want to force you, that you be holy by force. I wish every one of you to help yourselves and me by your little sacrifices so that I can guide you to be more holy day by day. Therefore, dear children, I do not want to force you to live the messages but, rather, this long time I am with you shows that I love you immeasurably and that I wish every single one of you to be holy. Thank you for your response to my call."

OCTOBER 16, 1986: "Dear children; Today, also, I want to show you how much I love you. I am sorry that I am not able to help each and every one of you to fathom my love!

Therefore, pray, dear children, without ceasing. Thank you for your response to my call."

OCTOBER 23, 1986: "Dear children; Today I invite you to prayer. A special intention, dear children, to pray for peace.

Thank you for your response to my call."

OCTOBER 30, 1986: "Dear children; Today, also, I want to call you to take seriously and live the messages which I am giving you. Dear children, because of you I have remained this long to help you put into practice all the messages which I am giving you. Thank you for your response to my call."

NOVEMBER 6, 1986: "Dear children; Today I would like to invite you to pray, day by day, for the souls in purgatory. Every soul needs prayer and grace to reach God and His love. This way, you too, dear children, can find new intercessors who will help you in life to know that all things of the earth are not important for you. It is only Heaven which you need tend to. For this reason, dear children, pray without interruption so that you may help yourself and those to whom your prayers will bring joy. Thank you for your response to my call."

NOVEMBER 13, 1986: "Dear children; Today I am also inviting you to pray with your whole heart and to change your life day by day.

I wish that each of you who has come to this holy place, the spring of grace, may come into paradise with a special gift which He will give to me; and this gift is holiness. Therefore, dear children, pray every day of your life in order that you may become holy. I will be forever close to you. Thank you for your response to my call."

NOVEMBER 20, 1986: "Dear children; Today also, I am calling you to live and to attend, with a special love, all the messages I am giving you. God does not want you lukewarm and indecisive, but totally committed to Him. You know that I love you and that I am burning out of love for you. Therefore, dear children, commit yourselves to love so that you will comprehend and burn with God's love from day to day. Decide for love, dear children, so that love may prevail in all of you; not human love, but God's love. Thank you for your response to my call."

NOVEMBER 27, 1986: "Dear children; Today also, I invite you to dedicate your life to me with love in order that I may guide you with love. I love you with a special love, dear children, and I want to bring you to Heaven with God. I want you to comprehend that this life is very short in comparison with that in Heaven. Therefore, dear children, today decide anew for God. Only in that way can I show you how much you are beloved by me and how much I want all of you to be saved and be with me in Heaven. Thank you for your response to my call."

DECEMBER 4, 1986: "Dear children; Today also, I invite you to prepare your hearts for these days when the lord is about to purify you in a special way from all the sins of your past life. Dear children, you cannot do it by yourselves; and, for that reason, I am here to help you. Pray, dear children! That's the only way you will be able to recognize all the evil that dwells in you and abandon it to the Lord so that He may purify your hearts completely. So, dear children, pray without ceasing and prepare your hearts in penance and fasting. Thank you for your response to my call."

DECEMBER 11, 1986: "Dear children; I invite you especially to pray during this season so you may experience the joy of meeting the new-born Jesus. Dear children, I desire that you experience these days with joy, just as I experience them. I wish to guide you and show you he joy I want to bring to all of you. Therefore, dear children, pray and surrender yourselves completely to me. Thank you for your response to my call."

DECEMBER 18, 1986: ."Dear children; Today, once again, I want to invite you to pray. When you pray, dear children, you become more beautiful. You become like flowers which, after the snow, show forth their beauty and whose colors become indivisible. So, dear children, after prayer before God, display everything that is beautiful so that you may become beloved by Him. Pray, dear children. Pray and open your inner self to the Lord so He may make of you a beautiful and harmonious flower for Heaven. Thank you for your response to my call."

DECEMBER 25, 1986: "Dear children; Again today, I am grateful to my Lord for all He is giving me, especially for the gift of being with you again. Dear children, these days the Father is giving special graces to all who open their hearts. I am blessing you. I desire, dear children, that you may recognize God's graces and place everything at His disposal so that He may be glorified by you. My heart follows all your steps attentively. Thank you for your response to my call."
