Success

"Peace of mind attained only through self satisfaction in knowing you made the effort of doing the best of which you’re capable… trying to improve the situation that exists for you. I think that is success, and I don’t think others can judge that. I think it’s like character and reputation. Your reputation is what you’re perceived to be, your character is what you really are. I think your character is much more important than what you’re perceived to be, you had hoped that they would both be good but they won’t necessarily be the same". - John Wooden, UCLA basketball coach when asked about success 

I thought this was very wise

Message from Mary

Little children, hear my Son. How eager He is to 

help you and bring you back safely to Him. Do 

not fear, please, if you have made mistakes. We 

are only concerned about today and this must be 

your approach also. Be sorry for your sins and 

walk away from them. Often, the evil one will 

attempt to keep you tied to past sins by remind- 

ing you of them and trying to persuade you that 

sinners cannot be true chosen souls. How ridicu- 

lous a notion! Look to the Bible for proof. Jesus 

came for sinners. Jesus will return for sinners.

And my little chosen souls will prepare the way 

for Him. I am counting every one of you who 

receives this message as a chosen soul. What joy 

will be yours. Think about joy, dear little child. 

When did you last feel joy? Your mother will 

show you heavenly joy if you heed our messages 

now. Don’t be afraid, my small ones. Holiness is 

a process and it is mostly up to Jesus to move you 

through that process. In a special way, right 

now, you can let Jesus form you. We are going to 

take care of everything. You need only love Jesus 

and let Him direct your life. Be like a small spar- 

row, living only in the moment, confident that 

God will provide everything needed for the next 

day, the next season, and the next year. Your 

mother blesses you. 

This is a message from the Blessed Mother as given to "Anne" a lay apostle
