For many months, the Lord has been asleep in my heart. He has spoken very little nor allowed me to feel His presence. Yet, I knew and believed that this time of darkness was a gift from my Beloved to strengthen my faith, hope, and love. It is a time for me to remain attentive to Him, close to Him as he sleeps. This morning, in adoration, I saw myself interiorly sitting in a wooden boat facing Jesus as He woke up. I found myself gazing at Him, knowing He wanted to speak. Then He spoke these words:

We are now entering the eye of the storm, but as you are experiencing, you are sitting with Me inside the boat (Church). You are not alone; I am with you as I was with My apostles in the storm. Remain, as you are now, gazing at Me, for I am your all. I promise you, My little one, and the few faithful souls remaining in the bark of My Church that I will be your strength for you to persevere to the end. My little one, many will die during the destruction of this great storm, but you and My little mustard seed must believe that God’s great triumph is at hand. Remain as much as you can in silent prayer, gazing at Me in the Blessed Sacrament and meditating on My Words, which will serve as your guiding light amid the great storm. As long as your gaze is fixed on Me, you are safe in My peace and strengthened in hope, but if your eyes shift to focus on the strength of the storm and its destruction, you will become paralyzed in fear. The silence manual, for it is truly My guiding light for this most difficult time, will be as My oil that will keep you calm in the boat gazing at Me. Do all you can to help Maria finish the translation.
