Freed

Hello, dear Brothers and Sisters,

I have this for you today: Back when I had that encounter with that spiritual being—and I think it was the Lord, dressed in white, with curly hair falling past his shoulders—I was told that I had to learn to pray and to be obedient… During those days, I also received special prayers spiritually. One was the various mysteries of the Rosary, and the other was a prayer to St. Joseph set to the melody of the song: "Bless us, Mary, bless me, your child…"

I'm quoting from my book: HOSTA

Bless us, St. Joseph, our father's house

And welcome all children into Heaven;

Bless our hearts and also our covenant,

bless our lives and our final hour,

bless our lives and our final hour.

O Mary, do not forsake us and teach us to serve humbly

O Mary, do not forsake us and teach us to rule wisely

O Mary, do not forsake us and give us courage and strength in faith

O Mary, do not forsake us, and grant us a pure heart

O Mary, do not forsake us, and guide us according to God's plan

O Mary, do not forsake us, and grant us the crown of obedience

Whenever I worried: What will become of me? Where does the path lead? What should I do?

I heard again and again:

"Come"

(Revelation 22:17)

And the Spirit and the Bride say, "Come!" And let the one who hears say, "Come!"

And let the one who is thirsty come; and let the one who wishes take the water of life freely.

Or:

"Daughter. Return home."

But where to? I was already at home with my parents, wasn't I? I didn't understand what was meant.

On September 8, 1984, after my job with the female bishop, when I was unemployed again and back home with my parents, I received a directive through an inspiration that read:

"You don't need to do anything. Just wait."

The waiting lasted about three years.

And in 1987, I had this inspiration:

"Victor. Wait three months—it's over. Now four more months of shame. Then you're free."

Those four months of shame lasted from 1987 until Easter 2017—that is, 30 years. On Easter 2017, during a bus ride to Wangen im Allgäu to visit relatives, I heard just one word, and it was:

"Freed"

See how the Rosary has played a central role in my life… today, at the Lord's request, it is the "Rosary of Divine Mercy" because, as He told me, this is His favorite prayer—the one He most loves to hear from me.
