MYSTIC MARIA ESPERANZA WARNS UNITED STATES NOT TO GO TO WAR

World-renowned mystic Maria Esperanza of Venezuela warned Friday that
immediately going to war over Tuesday's event would be "the greatest
mistake."

Speaking to Spirit Daily, the seer said, "If the United States goes to 
war
right now, it will be the worst possible mistake, the greatest mistake, 
and
would be nearly impossible to stop. The U.S. is smart and should wait
patiently. War would be imprudent - don't attack."

Esperanza's words are closely watched because previous prophecies of 
hers
have materialized. Last January, she warned that foreign powers - one 
large,
one small - were working together to "provoke" America. She had said 
(and we
have reported) that the provocation would be severe and would be both 
from
outside and inside the U.S. - on it's own soil. At the time she had 
also
counseled prudence. On August 25, we received the fax of a message 
Maria was
given by Saint Peter. The message said that in "A great event will be
happening in 3 weeks or 3 months." The attack on New York occurred in 
the
third week.

But instead of war, said Maria, the United States must turn to what she
calls the four "pillars": prayer, meditation, penance, and the 
Eucharist.
"With that you will be able," she said, "to win."

Esperanza urged recitation of fifteen decades of the Rosary and daily 
Mass.
She emphasized the need for families to pray together.

If this happens, she said, the U.S. will be unharmed in the long run by 
the
recent disasters.

"Definitely it's going to escalate but at the same time through prayer 
we
can stop a big thing from happening," she said. "Right now the U.S. has 
to
be very careful and prudent - go little by little."

"Prayer is what is going to influence the whole problem," she said. 
"From
now until 2004, in this period, everything will be resolved. Halfway 
through
2004 it will look better, but until then we must be careful. God can 
work
miracles."

Esperanza, who is connected with the Church-approved apparition site of
Betania, Venezuela, said that the attacks in New York City and at the
Pentagon were allowed by God as "an awakening of conscience" and to
strengthen the U.S. spiritually. She said, "Faith will grow."

"Our Lord is crying out at us for conversions," she said. "This has 
been a
lesson for the whole world. The faith of people in today's world is too
superficial. We must have an open heart to the Lord and His grace, 
because
God now is going to shake the whole world, not only in the U.S. Not a
violent shaking but something that makes people aware of His Presence."

When asked if the current crisis was a result of recent decisions on 
human
cloning and related research, she said that was a part of it but the 
events
of September 11 were related to general immorality and spiritual
shortcomings.

"I know the wound has been very big," she said, "but now we have to see 
the
situation through God's eyes and ask for forgiveness, for courage, and 
for
the will to pray and do penance and rid ourselves of pride." Maria said
recent physical problems she has been suffering are related to the 
current
crisis.
