I will stir up the hearts of many who have never heard my call to preach. This will be the first sign. Preachers will come forth. Just as the word came to John the Baptist in the desert, so my words will touch many. They will not have been trained, nor will they come from one walk of life. There will be men and women, old and young.

Let no one discourage them. Let no one say that this is not the way to go. Let the floodgates be opened and the preachers sent forth. The time is too short and the harvest is too great. When suddenly young and old, male and female are using my name to cast out demons and to heal and to proclaim that the kingdom is at hand, all will know that the great events of salvation have begun.

“Can this happen in our secular world?”, you ask. With God, all things are possible. This sign will be clear.

You who read these words, do not wait. Do not say, “Where must I go to be trained?” You have these locutions. They have trained you. They have stirred up your heart. This is what you are to do. Come to me every day in prayer. I will train your heart. I will give you light. I will tell you where to begin and what to do and say.

Begin in a little way. Do not grow discouraged. Not everyone will respond. Sometimes, what you do will seemingly have no results. But you are pleasing me. I will note your perseverance and I will be forming you as my instrument. The only important point is not to wait until tomorrow. Begin right now. “O Mary, make me a preacher, one who shares in your task as the new John the Baptist”. There it is. You have chosen the road.
