VENUE: MY ALTAR OF REPARATION, AWKA
TOPIC: THE LESSON ON CHILDLIKE CONFIDENCE
In my prayer during this hour, I saw in a vision Our Lady who came down with seven little Cherubim. She gently said:
“Barnabas, I come again to teach my children about the childlike confidence Jesus is expecting of you. O, see how He wants you to be little! He wants you to be like His little Cherubim who desires only to praise Him. He wants you to be like His innocent children before His altar in Heaven who desires only to love. These are the innocent ones that were killed by their parents in their early time. Oh, Jesus wants you to be like His little angels on earth; I mean His little ones; the Little Lilies, the little virgins, who remain His consolers in this wicked world. They are those little lovers who yield completely to the Divine Will. They laid their confidence in God like little children in their parents.
Looking into the life of little children, you will see their total submission, their absolute trust and their perfect obedience. This total resignation and weakness of little children: Submission, Trust, and Obedience are what I call the childlike confidence Jesus wants you to possess.
Children, you see how little children submit to their parents. These little children of the earth see the great gap between their little strength and the great strength of their parents. This knowledge of their weakness gives them the sense of submission.
Children, why can’t you see your weakness before your Eternal Father and submit to Him? He is the all-powerful God; He made the universe by the power of His words. Children, who do you think you are? Don’t you know that you are made of clay? If the Eternal Father holds back His Spirit from you, the clay will return to clay. The proud nature of yours will be forced to surrender.
Children, you are weak. Believe you are weak and submit to your God. Oh, see again my children how the little children of the earth resign to their parents in total weakness and submission whenever they are cautioned against their misbehavior. They might cry as they are cautioned, but in a very short time, they go back to their parents, seeking their warmth and love. Jesus wants you to behave like these little angels of the earth. Do not abandon Him when you are cautioned. I say, do not quarrel with your God when you are reprimanded for the violation of His decrees. See the caution as an act of love. Seek always His loving care and love.
Children, you can see again the absolute trust of the little children. Oh, see how they believe that their father can do everything. Even in the time of danger, they still have strong belief that their father is all-powerful. For them, no one can defeat their father. If for any moment something causes them to run for their dear life, their final place of safety is in the bosom of their father. Jesus wants you to trust like them.
Mychildren, imitate the perfect obedience of little children. Learn to say ‘yes’ always to the One who cannot lead you astray. Submit and surrender all to Him. O, see how free and open-minded the little children of the earth are. That is why the love of God cares for them. Oh, my little ones, my children, be free! Break the cord of slavery that blinds your poor soul. Oh, come nearer to Jesus with open mind and soul. His love will care for you.
Children, possess childlike confidence and be little; for the little ones shall not be condemned. A confident child is a child of faith. Possess childlike confidence to obtain the gift of true faith.Satan has no power over the obedient: possess the perfect obedience of the little children; for it shall free you from the forces and errors of this Dark Age. I am calling on all my children to possess the childlike confidence on which hang the virtues of total submission, of absolute trust, and of perfect obedience. This is a loving appeal to all who are called to receive the Rose of Perfect Purity.
Jesus wants you to return the love He will offer you when you receive the Rose of Perfect Purity by your childlike confidence in Him which will make you little. Think how a little child will FEEL, will REJOICE, will DANCE with JOY, and will LOVE when she obtains a loving gift from her parent. This is how my Lord and my Son Jesus wants you to be on the day you will receive His gift of Heart, the Rose of Perfect Purity. He wants you to possess the new hearts of love like those of the little ones. I hope to see these evil minds and souls of yours change and shine with perfect love and purity of intention.
I am the Mother of the Agonizing Jesus Christ. I am the Rosa Mystica. I pray for you all. Remain in peace from Heaven. I leave you. “
Immediately, the vision passed.

Parable of The Shut Door St. Luke 13:23-25 Lesson: The danger of deferring conversion.
(Taken from Through Christ Our Lord, Our Quest for Happiness Book Two)
[23] And a certain man said to him: Lord, are they few that are saved? But he said to them: ... [24] Strive to enter by the narrow gate; for many, I say to you, shall seek to enter, and shall not be able. ... [25] But when the master of the house shall be gone in, and shall shut the door, you shall begin to stand without, and knock at the door, saying: Lord, open to us. And he answering, shall say to you: I know you not, whence you are.
[24] "Shall seek": Shall desire to be saved; but for want of taking sufficient pains, and being thoroughly in earnest, shall not attain to it
