Greetings I am Mary. Universal Mother and mother of hope. I come this day dear children, to speak to you of the power of prayer, the sister and the partner of hope.
Although you may think that we deviate from our creation exercise, we do not. Do not forget my children, to pray. We have spoken to you of the formula of creation, the expression of intent; the stillness of your heart and being; the action, sometimes of surrender. Understand prayer is one of the expressions of your intent. In many ways you’ve thought of prayer as junior league because you learned it early in your life. And nothing could be further than the truth. True prayer is your heart speaking – to the universe, to mother, father, God; to your guardian angels; to the mighty ones – to those who look out after you, who cherish you and nurture you. Nothing has more power or more appeal than the small child who sits in prayer in innocence, and awe, in trust and says please.
Sometimes the prayers are for what your heart truly desires and needs personally, and sometimes they are of a more universal nature. You have seen the power of prayer at work in the last few hours with the calming of the storms (hurricane). You not need to discern or differentiate your prayers. We do not categorize the difference between a child’s prayer asking for a new bicycle, or your heart speaking asking for world peace. All are heard, and responded to equally. Some more easily achievable, not because we have limitation on what we are capable of but simply because there is less human interference and we will not interfere in the exercise of human free will. For many upon your planet, prayer is for last resort; it is neck and neck in tandem with when despair and desperation set in. Of course that is not good either, for we wish your prayers to come from a place of calm and tranquility, of heart speaking, and place of knowing and trust. But dear one, we will accept them however we get them.
You say to me, Mother, why do you come this day to speak to us on this subject? I do so because many of your hearts are weary. You feel that you cannot go on any longer. You feel that you are tired. You wonder if you have deluded yourself, whether you have been in an illusion of this Love and this reality. And you feel that the only thing left to you is prayer. And you beg for this prayer to be heard, for some sign to be given. We give you signs, indications of our presence every waking moment that you will know that we are with you. We do so you may break through the illusion that you are not loved, that you are not worthy, that you are not heard. If you were not capable of enormous feats dear one, we would not give you such great challenges.
Understand rule number one of this planet. Is that you have been created to be spirit in form in joy not in pain and not in suffering. So understand if it is not of love, it is not of us. So you say to me well mother what is it? Where does it come from? It is a human creation, dear one. All this darkness comes from the illusion that you are not worthy of being loved, that you are not attended to. Leave that behind. And if there is nothing else in the stillness of your heart, pray. For you are always heard.
We come this day to ask you to pray for a very specific reason: pray for the hearts of all mankind to be opened. There is much discussion upon your planet about the arrival, the sign of the magi, the Star of David. This channel has spoken of explosions galaxies away. There are many geo-physical signs, stars and galaxies exploding light-years away my friends. There are signs and symbols and energy openings. But they will mean nothing unless the hearts of mankind are open. For that is truly the miracle, it is not a sign in the sky. It is not even the calming of the greatest ocean. The miracle is the opening of your heart to Love. So we ask you to add this to your daily prayer. Pray for each other, for it is an expression of Love, of tenderness, and hope. And in this hope which is unparalleled and matched with ours we will begin Nova Earth. And nova man. Go my children with my love and heal. Farewell.
