Message of 10/27/2007 - "God is your shepherd, my children, He is the good shepherd. God is such a wonderful shepherd who gives his life for his sheeps. Don’t forget that. He loves his creatures infinitely and leads his little sheeps in the right direction and good pastures. A sheep can not live without the shepherd. Don’t be like those sheeps stray that deviate from the herd and go to unknown paths where the shepherd is not. And they fall and hurt, they fall into holes and abysses. My children, don’t fall in the traps and snares of Satan as those gullible sheeps that fall into the clutches of the wolf that wants to devour them. Listen to the voice of your shepherd and follow his Commandments. Stay with Him through daily prayer. Think about God all the time. If you forget Him, you will depart from Him. Let God to fill your soul and put Him in the first place. When God be the center of your lives, you will not have need of material things for to be happy. When God fill all your heart, you will have a true and indescribable happiness that nothing and nobody will take. Even if you have disease, poverty, disasters, or lose someone who you love, you will not stay desperate or deeply depressed as you usually be. Whatever happens, God will be with you all the time as a shepherd that always protects his beloved sheeps. And as the good shepherd leads his little sheeps to green pastures and fountains with fresh water, God will lead you to the peace. He is the peace, the single peace. Believe in Him and believe in His infinite goodness."
