"My worldly children do not know Me ... You cannot serve two masters"

"Say to My children: Reflect upon those words." On August 13, 1995, just before Nancy was to leave her home to go to the apparition room, Jesus said, "I want My children to realize the gifts that they are gathering, are possessing them. "My children, you have many riches and yet you are very poor. Seek My heavenly gifts, then you are made rich. "Reflect on the Beatitudes. Live by these guidelines. "You may possess wealth but do not let wealth possess you. "Now I ask you to repeat these words to My children. "Thank you, little one, for listening." Later, in the main apparition room, as the pilgrims sang the Ave Maria, there was a flash of mystical light as the Blessed Mother appeared. As mystical light appeared on the crucifix, one saint after another appeared. The crucifix became engulfed in bright light. Many angels and saints were now present. Jesus said, "I desire to possess all My children. "My children, do not be deceived and let the false riches possess you. "Is not My embrace sufficient for you, My dear little children? "Come to Me, My little children. I will comfort you, all of you who mourn and weep and suffer. "As I embrace each one of you, I ask you to embrace the beatitudes." Nancy saw a vision of the world. The world was scarlet in color. Nancy understood that this signified suffering. Above the crucifix, Nancy saw a small dove. From the crucifix, Jesus looked down at the priests and pilgrims in the apparition room. Jesus then turned His head and looked upward. There was suffering reflected on Jesus' face. Nancy saw the Resurrected Christ in light and then the suffering face of Jesus in light looking upward from the cross. The vision was repeated many times. Nancy asked Jesus, "Why do I see this? "Jesus said, "I am living and I died for you. "My children, will you not love Me?" Nancy saw what looked like a tombstone with writing on it at the foot of the cross. Jesus said, "Pray. Pray. Pray everyday for the souls who die." Nancy saw the top of the cross turn into a crown in light. During the Sorrowful Mysteries, Nancy did not see any mystical light. It was not until the Third Glorious Mystery, the Decent of the Holy Spirit, that Nancy again could see a mystical cross of light which was followed by great beams of light coming down into the room. She could now see many angels and saints. Jesus said, "Did you experience an emptiness when I withdrew part of the gift? "Say to My children: It is better to have the fullness of My gifts. Do not throw My gifts aside. "Tell My children Who is the giver of the gifts."
