MESSAGE OF APRIL 4th 1998 . FIRST SATURDAY OF THE MONTH. 
AT PRADO NUEVO. EL ESCORIAL (MADRID)

THE LORD:

My daughter, firstly you will drink some drops from the chalice of pain. I want to strengthen your spirit, weak because of suffering and pain... These drops, my daughter, are bitter, but they will strengthen your spirit.

THE MOST HOLY VIRGIN MARY:

Pray, my children: If your prayer is good, I will hear your shouts and your wails , and I will take you one day to the Kingdom of Heaven, but all those who have lack of prayer, of sacrifice , there will be no Kingdom for them. * (1) Feed your spirit, my children.

Prayer is the food of the soul.(2) Like work builds man and exercises him physically, prayer exercises the spirit. There can´t be one thing without the other, my children. How many times have I told you, my daughter, that prayer leads man to action?

In this place I have poured out many graces, it's my favourite place, it is my garden. Here I will always be with you. Here I have comforted many sad people. Here many sinners have been converted. Here many afflicted have felt peace.

THE LORD:

My children, peace , unity among men is the most important thing. You, my daughter, go on repeating men that neither discord nor disunity pleases God. Your mission is to unite. Unity, love... is what I teach men. The men who spend discording and splitting doesn't live the Gospel. I like much men to be peaceful . Go on uniting , although you find in your way disdains , slanders... Your mission is to unite, and where there is war, try to bring peace, my daughter.

THE MOST HOLY VIRGIN MARY:

I want it to be dug by the spring and that the water returns to its course; I ask it this way, as I go on asking for a chapel of prayer. Prayer and exposition of the Body of Christ.

Come to this place. This place is sacred, because it has been blessed many times by the Divine Majesty of God and I have placed my soles on it.

Pray , my children, pray and love one another. Charity must not be lacking among men.

Raise all your objects; all will be blessed with special blessings for poor sinners...
I bless you, my children, as the Father blesses you, through the Son and with the Holy Spirit.

*(1)St. Alphonsus Ligouri tells us in his book called “THE GREAT MEANS OF SALVATION AND OF PERFECTION “ that “ Prayer Is a Means Necessary to Salvation” He wrote in this book:

“The reason of this is evident. Without the assistance of God's grace we can do no good thing: Without me, you can do nothing (Jn 15,5). St. Augustine remarks on this passage, that our Lord did not say, Without me, you can complete nothing,' but 'without me, you can do nothing'; giving us to understand that without grace we cannot even begin to do a good thing” “Without Prayer It Is Impossible to Resist Temptations and to Keep the Commandments”

(2) St. Alphonsus Ligouri in the book “THE GREAT MEANS OF SALVATION AND OF PERFECTION” wrote: “Prayer is also called the food of the soul, because the body cannot be supported without food; nor can the soul, says St. Augustine, be kept alive without prayer: 'As the flesh is nourished by food, so is man supported by prayers.' All these comparisons used by the holy Fathers are intended by them to teach the absolute necessity of prayer for the salvation of everyone. “
