OUR LADY OF THE SIERRAS MESSAGE OF JULY 5th, 2002

The following message was received during the Friday night Canyon
Rosary
and has been transcribed from the audio recorder used to record the
message.
As with all messages, we urge you to pray to the Holy Spirit for
discernment
as you read the following:

(Pat) Tongues. "I can't see exactly what it is.  It is a
bridge.........a
very narrow bridge across ..........(I can't look down.....it's so
far......it's so long).  There are people on both sides of the
bridge........lines and lines of people.  They are coming to the
bridge.
The others...a multitude of people.  A tremendous burst of
light!.......and
thru the light there is a man .....glowing......so brilliant and by His
right side is Mary.  She is so beautiful.  This time She is all in
gold......but it's not a fabric......just glistening fibers.   The
others......I don't know who they are .......they are dressed in shades
of
white and other colors as well.  I don't understand, Mother.......and I
see
they are holding something in their hands ...... it looks like a candle
and
the flames of the candles are spreading all over this vast area.  On
the
other side of the bridge all these people are just waiting ....... they
are
standing and looking but nobody is moving.....there are just all these
people.......lines of people...and I hear a very strong gentle male
voice.......and I know it is Jesus. He  is calling out names, but each
one
has to cross this bridge.  It's a little frightening.  It's very
narrow,
it's very long.  You have to hold on....hold on tightly......but the
voice
is so comforting and the lines of people start to move as their names
are
called.   The bridge is filled with people... once frightened......but
now
smiles........smiles on their faces.  They are becoming like
lights.....changing from what we perceive as a body to beautiful
lights.
They are going to Jesus.  Is that right, Mother?"



(Mary) "My Daughter,

          This is the bridge of life......the trials that all must
suffer......all must endure to reach their final destination with
Jesus.
Can't you hear by the tone of His voice......the love He has for each
of His
children......how He beckons you with such confidence as He beckoned
Peter
to step out of the boat and walk to Him on the water. Do not be afraid.
Fear is not of God and will not allow you to cross this bridge to My
Son.
Allow God to bring comfort into your lives.....the turmoil...your world
is
in such a state, so many trying so hard to get to where they no not
where
they are going. It seems a puzzle.does it not?" (Tongues)



"My Children,



God does not promise you great joy and prosperity.  He sends the trials
that
you may become wise and humble of heart, and with such wisdom and
humility....your world will finally find its peace.  How many My
children..are willing to empty themselves out as My Son did upon the
Cross?
He asks this of you.....empty yourselves that others may find
Him.....that
they may hear their name being called across this bridge".   
(Tongues).





"My Daughter,

            I have been with you a very long time.  The time of My
visitations grows short, but this place shall remain a place of
holiness......a place of healing........for those that come will have
that
seed planted within their heart.......a seed that will grow......a seed
that
God will nurture and draw them to where He wants them in life.  Be not
afraid.......for We will never leave you but the visitations will not
be as
frequent.  We love you, dear children.  So many lessons We have tried
to
teach you........go back.......go back.........read Our
words......learn and
be happy........be happy for God awaits His children".

(Pat) sobbing in tongues)  "I love you so much
Mother.......[inaudible].........I love you. Too".



Patricia  is a convert  Pat began receiving messages from our Blessed
Mother and Jesus in 1997.  Our lady has told us that this is a holy
mountain
protected by St Michale the Arc Angel who always accompanies our
Blessed
Mother when she comes.  Our Lady  has said there would be many miracles
,
healings and conversions on this holy mountain. A statue of St.
Philomena
was donated  in 1998 and Father Giovanni Braschi the care taker of her
relics in Mugnano Italy has made the Shrine a St. Philomena Center
also.
