Public Message from Our Lady of Emmitsburg to the World Through Gianna Talone-Sullivan August 5, 1999

My dear little children, praised be Jesus!

Little ones, when you give your whole heart to Jesus, it means you are willing to carry out everything you are asked by Him.  It does not mean you will necessarily have all the trimmings or feelings of human love.

To give your heart to God is a commitment to Him which is everlasting.

It entails giving your thoughts, actions and your soul to Jesus and loving Him with all of your heart and mind. People love differently on a human scale; but when the soul loves God, it separates the attachments of the human life from that which is Divine.

All the masquerades and struggles of life and all the imaginary pleasures and powers of life, including the love of life, are silenced.  God alone is adored and served.

Be children of His Light.  Do not allow your soul to be monopolized by the passions of this temporary life, but allow it to become detached, uprooting the controls and attachments placed on it by self-love.

There should be only one attachment for the soul and that attachment is to God alone.

The spirit of the soul cries out and longs to be with its Creator.

Allow your spirit to be in union with God.  It is not a question of whether your soul could be attached to God and live in union with Him, but rather the question is whether you would allow it.

Little children, please give your whole heart to Jesus.

From the heart stems acts of good or evil and the evolution of morals.

All the details of your life are influenced by the heart.

Ponder my words and synchronize your thoughts, words from your lips, and actions to reflect a sincere heart.  

Peace be with you.

I take your petitions to Jesus, Whom I thank for allowing me to come to you in this special way.

Thank you for responding to my call.

AD DEUM.
