I AM HERE. Saul.

I want to write just a line, as I see that you have around you so many of the high spirits tonight. I do not intend to say much, but I must tell you that I am in a condition of love that makes me happy, as I see that you are.

I am not so high in my position, or have so much of the soul development as have those who have just written to you. But, yet, I am a spirit who knows the Truth of the Divine Love and is a possessor of the Divine Nature. I want to say to you both: Pray and believe! Let not what others may write or say to the contrary cause you to doubt that the spirit who wrote you was Mary—not the “Virgin” Mary, but Mary, the mother of Jesus. She is a beautiful and pure spirit, and one who is filled with the Father’s Love to a wonderful degree.

She also has her mother’s nature to an extent that makes her love all the children of God, whether they be good or sinful, and she does pray to the Father for the sons of earth. But she is not pleased when mortals pray to her as someone who should be worshiped. She is only a spirit filled with love. And when they, I mean mortals, look upon her as a mother, she is not displeased. For, as I say, she loves them all. But when they think that, in order to reach the Ear of the Father in seeking for His Love, they have to pray to her to intervene, she is sorely displeased. And if she could do so, she would proclaim the great error and sin to them in believing in her and praying to her as a necessary intermediary between God and themselves.

Someday, mortals will know that the Father hears their prayers, just as He does the prayers of Mary or any other spirit, and that, while she and all other spirits can help them, even by their prayers, yet, God wants the prayers and soul longings of mortals directed to Himself.

I write this to show that some of the orthodox Christians make a great mistake in praying to the “Virgin” Mary, or to any other “saint,” instead of to the Father.

I will not write more tonight, but will say that I (as well as the other spirits who are here tonight) love you with the love of a brother who knows the reality of this Divine Love.

Your brother in Christ,

SAUL.
