This new year, My sweet children, will be a year of great trials and tribulation, not only for the many, but. for all, for you are fast approaching the time of the Great Chastisements for mankind. This you already know, for My Holy Mother and I have revealed this to you for many years now. Therefore, I will not repeat in detail all that will befall man in this coming year, and the year that will follow. However, you need to know, My sweet children, that you have the choice to follow Me, or follow the world. And remember, My sweet children: the world will be condemned and a great Chastisement will befall mankind.

This small victory that My Most Holy Mother promised has already begun, though you do not see it or know of it ~ but much transpires without your knowledge, My sweet children. It is only for you to believe, and within this year that is coming you will see the result, and understand. Time in the world is of the natural path, therefore, mankind find it difficult to comprehend the time of God. However, if you open your hems, your ears, your minds and your eyes you will know that all that My Mother and I have revealed over many, many, years is now unfolding, swiftly, before your lives.

1998 is the year of your choice; choose well the path that you will lead because. My sweet children, whatever path you choose, it will be from here that you will know whether you will enter into the New Holy era, or not. The choice belongs to you; I leave you free. Know then, always follow the perfect Will of My Father, and in this is the true meaning of following the path of the true Will and the true 'yes' to God. It is for this reason I am asking once again, as My Most Holy Mother has asked you several times before, spend your spare time now - not only in prayer, but in reflection, in meditation, and reading the Holy Books of Divine Revelation to man. In this way you will be strengthened and consoled, and you will persevere to the end.

It is well that you have written to our children, My dear son, My pure white 'Rock' who will lead the Remnant Church into the next era, and the New Holy Era of My Father - for what you have expressed to My children who have separated from you is pleasing in My sight. Let all repent; let all forgive each other - and let this coming year be a year of reconciliation between your brothers and sisters; between the Apostles and Disciples; between the Royal House of David and all the children of the 'elect', the Remnant Church on Earth. For this is the time to act, clearly, upon the free-will that My Father has given to each and every one of you, and this free-will is to follow the Truth, and nothing but the Truth, My sweet children.

You have the Teachings of the Church handed down to you from My Sacred Heart through the Apostles and Disciples and Fathers of the Church, to help you understand what is the truth. Once you understand this, dear children, you must follow it to the end. Thus, your reward will be multiplied here upon Earth in your lives, and later in Paradise. Therefore, continue to pray; continue to ask Our Spirit to help you to understand the Will of God for you.

Watch the stars, the sun and the moon; watch the Earth, how it will tremble from the Anger of My Eternal Father, for mankind continues to refuse His Graces that He offers them, daily. Therefore, My Father must place a heavy Hand upon His wayward children.

Pray, the Rosary, given to you by My Most Holy Mother over many centuries. Offer many sacrifices; do penances - and fast, so you will persevere and give strength to those around you, and bring many to the Bosom of My Father who is in Me, as I am in Him, in Our Spirit of Divine Love. I embrace you, My sweet children, this evening, as only a father can embrace a child.

To you, My precious 'Rock', Created by My Father to be the Light of Our children, and the 'Shepherd' of Our flock - to you I give the Power and the Strength from the Triune Heart to lead the sheep in these most difficult times. Take courage; be not afraid - and help Our children to lead lives of holiness and virtue, for the road is narrow. But yet I am there always, and will never leave your side. Soon the Passion of My Suffering that dwells in you will become a 'Sign' to all that will come to you. Be not afraid; My Mother and I are watching over you and will help you. All those that have turned away from you will now. begin to return, and all of you together wilt bring many of My wandering sheep back into the fold to prepare them for the Great Chastisements that will come. I Bless you, 'Peter' - My last Vicar for My Church upon Earth for all generations to come: in the Name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.

I greet you, My precious 'Angel of Divine Love', My 'Little Pebble'. This title that I give you - and have mentioned many times - is very dear to My Immaculate Heart. I greet all My children here present and throughout the world. I will not add much to the Words of My Divine Son for, needless to say, Our children must now turn back to God and change their lives. All those who have left God's Work: return now ~ for now is the acceptable hour. Should you not return, My sweet children, in this coming year of great Tribulation, then you will not see the great Warning that will follow, for you will then be removed from this Earth, because you then have sinned, gravely, before God; because the opportunities were given to you.

This coming year is the year [which is] most important for every life upon Earth because serious decisions and choices must be made, either to follow the true Will of God, or follow your own path. Pray hard, My sweet children, for the devil is determined to remove you from this Earth so that you will not be able to fulfill your vocations that God has called you to, especially those of the 'elect': the Apostles and Disciples, and the Royal House of David. You, My sweet children - even those who are gifted with Visions, Messages and singular Graces from God - be attentive to My Words. All of you must work together under one Shepherd - and this Shepherd, My sweet children, is Our little 'White Rock': 'Little Peter' - your future Vicar for Holy Mother Church. This year is to be the year of unity amongst all of Our children of the 'elect' - and those called in the Royal House of David must learn to be docile to the calling of God, in a life of virtues - not a life dedicated to self. This also applies to all of Our children. Prayer, penance and sacrifices are needed now, so that you will persevere to the end.

Take courage, My children, and go forward into this new year of hope, for many things will change in the world and within Holy Mother Church - and most of the lives here present before Me will change very, very, much; and some will decide either for God, or for the world o but prayer can change all.

I Love you, My children - and, through My Divine Son, send you My Love through Our Immaculate Hearts: in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.

My Divine Son and I wish you a Blessed and Holy 1998. Continue now with your prayers, for I wish to speak to My little son; and all the Angels that have come with us this evening will be sent to all of you - those who would choose to follow their vocations to the very end. The Angels with the swords are the Angels who will defend you with true justice. The Angels of My Choir of the Holy Roses: these Angels are there to console you, for many of you will receive many sorrows through the loss of many loved ones in this coming year.
