“What I am asking of you is what a parent asks of a child who is being taught to swim. First they must learn to trust the water and know that its embrace will lift them up. Children are born knowing that they can float and need only lift their heads and move their arms and legs in order to swim. But through long ages you have forgotten the lesson of this. You no longer remember the embrace of My body or natural buoyancy of those tears you call your oceans.
“Our Lady of Sorrows I am sometimes called. But those sorrows are merely the waters that have passed through numberless eons and uncountable bodies on their path toward the sea. The dead buoy you up, embrace you, and sustain you. Their currents will carry you where you must go.“As long as you presume to know the path forward, you will not be able to find that path or follow it. Knowing is not the same as remembering. The knowledge that will guide you through the trials you are currently entering is a thousand fathoms deep.
“I am your Mother who tell you these things. I tell you nothing but what is true.”
NOTE: Below are Our Lady of Woodstock’s May messages from 2015, 2017, and 2019.
She has asked that they be shared again to accompany today’s message.

“Over the coming 18-24 months, your leaders, leaders at every level—those above you, leaders of your community, political leaders, business leaders, religious leaders, those who lead the way—these people will say things that you understand to be patently untrue.
“Act for yourself.
“Think for yourself.
“Follow your own heart, and do the right things for those whom you love. Consult your own inner compass and it will tell you where to go. Tonight I am calibrating them, these compasses, all together. You should obey that inner sense of direction. I am there. But I am not ‘true’ North. I AM North. My body is the one direction. Learn to listen to that body like a baby listens to her mother’s heartbeat.
“A baby attunes to a mother’s heartbeat when she is nursing. Part of the forgotten wisdom of the world, in a time before there were words, is the essential wisdom passed from mother to child through the heartbeat. Children once knew they were taking in this wisdom from their mothers, and from the Earth itself through the soles of their feet.
“You can time your heartbeat to your Mother’s by praying the rosary. In praying the rosary lay your ear against My breast.‘Follow your heart,’ people say. Or, ‘Follow your heart’s desire.’ To do so eases heartache. The moment you say you don’t know what you want, it is because your heartbeat has fallen out of rhythm with your Mother’s heart. How would you know what you want unless you had learned to listen to your Mother’s heart?
“Synchronize your heart with Mine. This is basic wisdom. Please, please pass it on
.”Each of you must understand this and explain it to others in your own way. You can explain it with a touch. Give this away.”Know that all of your petitions will be answered, even if you don’t know how that will happen. When you form a petition, offer it before the world. People think that it is centrifugal force that turns the planet, but it is prayer. Physics is not separate from prayer.”

“I have asked that My words of May 15, 2015 be shared again today so that you will trust me when I tell you once more that your world is about to change. My advice, however, has not changed. I ask of you now just what I asked of you then. Pray the rosary. Act for yourself. Think for yourself. Synchronize your hearts with Mine and know that I am there.
“Your leaders will not be able to save you from the troubles to come. They will not even be able to save themselves. Those in high positions will be brought low, and those positions you now consider low will seem high by century’s end. Forces have been set in motion that will so change the world that, two decades hence, it will not be recognizable to those who are living now.
“Those forces can no longer be recalled, nor can their paths be averted, but all must submit to them without exception. So do not look at the unjust man and think that he will prevail, nor at the meek and suppose that they will be delivered.
“These are times of vast changes and irrevocable decrees, and the only wisdom is not to avert your eyes. For those who flee, there will be no refuge. For those who look away, there will be no reprieve. For those who seek to master their fellows, there will be no mercy. But for those who trust and wait and pray there will be another day.
“Although the rosary is light work in comparison to other endeavors you might undertake, it will give you strength to carry what burdens you must, eyes to witness what eyes would rather not see, hands to help the helpless, and words to give hope to the hopeless. Do not doubt for an instant that you will be able to draw forth from the rosary such powers as these. Those powers are granted by Me in times of trouble such as your world has not long seen.
“Do not suppose that the things I speak of will all come to pass in a week, a month, or a year. They will come each in its own time, and for its own purpose. But you must be ready when they do.

“Try as you might, you will not be able to discern the path that lies before you. That path will carry you through changes to your way of life that are unimaginable to you today. Your task is not to imagine them. Do not waste your time trying to tell the future. If you knew the future and how to tell it, the world would not have come to where it is today.
“Within each of your hearts is an arrow that points where you must go. But it is not a fixed arrow. It is not inscribed like a marking in stone. Rather, it is like the weathervane that shifts and changes as it must, but always points with the wind.
“The wind is its own direction and it will carry you home. Those who try to stand against it will find those things they hold dear being snatched from them like leaves torn from the trees in a great storm. Those who feel the direction of the wind within them will be like the birds who are carried to new destinations. They are bound for new lives and blessings in a future that presently they cannot know.
“I know the direction of the wind, because I am the wind. I will carry you where you must go. But you must learn to relax, and trust, and give yourself with simplicity to the work of prayer. Pray just as the birds do. Let your prayer and the wind be one.”
