“Make this novena count. Your world is changing very quickly and there will be moments in the next 54 days when you will feel the world you have known is changing right before your eyes. But you need have no fear.
“Control is the illusion of your people. The tree people suffer no such illusion. The dirt people are breathtakingly undeluded. The birds and insects may be confused at times by changes in the weather and climate, but they respond in strict accordance to their nature and never depart for one instant from My side.
“Over the next 54 days, you will focus each on your own individual prayers. But My prayer for you during that time is to hold you close by My side. There will be moments when you can feel that constant presence, and others when I seem far away. But I am never far. I am closer than your shadow, quieter than your breath, and more intimate than your heartbeat. Such is My presence in your life.
“Great changes are coming. It matters little whether they come tomorrow, or in a week, a season, or a year. The only thing that matters is that you bow your head in prayer and bend – not break – with whatever winds may blow.”
