"EIGHT" IS THE PEACE OF GOD
Eight days later, his disciples were again in the house, and Thomas was with him. The door was shut, but Jesus came and stood
among them, and said, "Peace be with you." (Jn 20: 26)
January 1, 1997:
Dearest Father:
I think Jesus, Your Son, is the Bridge, the Food, for our spiritual journey back to You. He is our Shepherd, pointing the
way—His Life is the Way, like a map. But You are the destination. Jesus is the map and provisions; You are the destination;
the Holy Spirit is the energy to move us and the Light to guide us. Am I getting it right, Papa? Am I close? Thank You and
I love You!
Barbara:
Come to Me. Why are you sad? You should rejoice! All is well, child. I am there with you in everything you do.
[I sit at the foot of my Father's Throne in the Garden. He brings up many angels to help me, but one catches my eye. He has
shoulder length blonde hair—no facial hair and he looks radiant. He says he is Raphael, and I have to think for a minute
with my overtired mind which angel Raphael is—and I remember he was sent to guide and heal in the Book of Tobias. He
says he will help me celebrate the Father and make Him known—and more! ...He (the Father) just wants me to know He protects
me always.] ...
I am sending My angel with you. Now go to sleep and dream of Me holding you tightly. Rest against My Heart.
I love You, Father. Good night! ...
January 12, 1997:
Dearest Father:
I cannot sleep. [I got up and opened Scripture to Ezechial 40:34, 37, and 41.] The number 8 again: 8 steps and 8 sacrificial
tables in Ezechial's vision of the new Temple. Oh, please, Father, what is it You want me to do or know? Show me, Father!
Please. I'm being consumed by love for You.
Dearest Daughter:
Why do I always show you this number? Because it is special in My eyes. It is the MEANS to RETURN to Me. Always, I have given
this number to My children. Bring about the return of attention to what I tell you.
On the 8TH DAY, I MYSELF WILL COME!!!
And you may approach Me by means of the symbolism of this number. I will come to you and you must approach Me. Each to each—drawn.
Ponder on its meaning, My little one. It is a hidden treasure. Yet to be unearthed. EIGHT IS THE PEACE OF GOD. Eight is PEACE!
January 15, 1997:
Dearest Father:
...Right now, I just re-read one of our recent dialogues and You called me a bearer of light. ...Please clarify this for me.
Also, I had the impression that Raphael had been sent to help me. Is that true? ...Dearest Father, I beg You and I only want
to do YOUR Will.
Dearest, Sweetest Daughter:
...All My children bear "My" light in them. THEY ARE LITTLE TABERNACLES OF THEIR FATHER. You bear My Light, as a candle, into
the world. You are "God's" Bearer of Light. ...Be at peace, My little one. Your soul radiates My Light to those around you.
...Open the book and see, My little one. Trust! In this moment of time, jump to Me and I will catch you. Open My Word and
meet Me there.
[Psalm 105—Inventions, pagan ways; Phinees stood up and pacified the Father; Our Father's Mercy on our culture—for
ALL, courage to ask it.]...
January 17, 1997:
Dearest, Sweetest Papa:
Thank You, Father ...! Truly, You are with me. All for Your Glory, Papa. And I understand now! Lord, I understand. Jesus—we
must be in Jesus and He in us for us to approach You. Now I understand, my dearest Father. How I love Jesus and the Holy Spirit.
Help me understand the Spirit better, Papa. Please. I want to know, love, and honor Him, too. Truly You are with me, my Father.
Father, I am so much in love with You and Jesus and the Holy Spirit. I also realize that I understand only the most minuscule
part of the Mystery of Your Love for us. My soul and heart would burst, explode, if I truly understood. ...And dear Raphael...
thank you for helping me with tonight's work on the consecration. I thought I could see you after—smiling, as if you
were saying "we did it! " I will do "whatever" you and My Father ask or me—anything !
My Father is My Love, My Lord, My Life—without Him-there is NOTHING—absolutely NOTHING. He is everything. He is
my reason for being. Sometimes, Raphael, I think I feel His Love and it is so powerful that I could just weep and weep—like
now. I don't know why He loves me so. ...I am frightened about so many things. I complain too much. I get frustrated and downhearted.
...I doubt, I despair. ...But there is only one thing I know—there is only God. He is all I know—everything else
dims and may be confused. I only know I love God.
Raphael, you are the angelic healer of God. You are the angelic guide. Please, ask my Father if I can hold onto you and if
you will be with me for the rest of my life to help me to do some GOOD for Him, my family, and mankind. My soul sings with
wanting to do this. Raphael, Raphael, please help me. Guide me. Heal me—for the Father. I love God with all my heart.
My seeming familiarity and intimacy with God is so WONDERFUL that it is hard to believe. He is so kind and loving. It is difficult
to comprehend. ...And He loves me. Unbelievable, but He does ...there would be NOTHING, nothing without knowing, loving, serving,
and honoring My Lord and Love. There is nothing else. Only Him. This is my letter to you, Raphael. I welcome you! I love you,
too. I thank you for anything you do to help me to give glory to God My Father. Protect me, O Lord, ...Please! I am Yours;
I give myself to You.
And now for You, My Dearest, Sweetest Father. I wish only to love and praise You. I ask nothing in return. Only to love and
serve You—and to be with You forever. Oh, and Lord, please protect all my children, grandchildren, family, and friends,
past, present, and future. Let us all be with You someday in Heaven. Always at Your feet, doing Your Will. I love You, Papa—all
Goodness and Glory; You are my heart. You are my true heart and without You, I would die. Now, I'm going to read a Scriptural
passage and go to bed. Feed me, My Father; I drink Your Words in.
[3 Kings 13—Divine commands given to a prophet must be obeyed; Mark 14—Peter's denial and Jesus' betrayal by Judas;
Ezechial 7—abomination and punishment of Sacred Place; John 13—cleansed through Jesus, Judas not clean, shepherd
struck and sheep scattered; Ezechial 35—Shepherd; Psalm 7—Return, O Lord.]
January 19. 1997:
Dearest Father:
[I was lead to these Scriptural readings: Thessolonians—End times won't come until the Son of Perdition is revealed;
Deuteronomy 6—God is a jealous God. Keep feast days, He will be merciful to us IF we keep and do all His precepts before
the Lord our God as He has commanded; Esther 14—Her prayer to TURN God's heart after they turned to pagan ways (and
God listened to her); Mark 11:9-12 —Kingdom of the Father come!]
Your time has come. Only I exist! You exist in and through Me. The deprivation of My children prepares the world for My coming.
LOOK FOR ME DEEP WITHIN YOUR HEARTS. THIS IS HOW I WILL COME. WITHIN. NOT WITHOUT. Remember this, Barbara. WITHIN. Watch and
wait for this transformation. Prepare them with My consecration. It is true and good. It is Mine. Revealed through you.
Sleep in the Peace of your One True Father. Be assured that you are with My angels, truly. A change is taking place even now.
It is all around you. Prepare. You are Mine. Be not afraid. All is well. REMEMBER, I COME IN THE HEART. ...Be at peace. Now
sleep. You are protected by My angels. Raphael touches your soul and makes you well so I can enter. The disease of your culture
must be purified and cast out. Be clean, be wise, be pure. Lean upon Me, Your Father.
[I was lead to read 2 Machabees 15—Send angels, keep sanctified day, trust in God to help in battle.]
January 23, 1997:
Dearest Papa:
...I'm going to continue working on the consecration. This is a great blessing. I can't see the back of the medal yet, Papa.
It's Your medal. What do You want on it?
Thank Raphael for helping us. Thank You for giving him to us. My sweetest Papa, please bless me before I sleep. And stay by
me always and forever. I want only You and Your Will! You are my Lord and My God. "The Lord is My Shepherd, I shall not want!
" Now, Father, please speak to me through Your Holy Scripture.
[I was lead to read: Ecc. 51:32-38—Discipline for Wisdom; 3 Kings 8:57-63—His commandments, ceremonies, judgments;
3 Kings 22—Deceit and punishment/False prophecy, pandering to paganism and popularity]
A medicine, a cure is upon the earth. That is why I send you Raphael. It is a dense fog, a lack of clarity through which you
cannot see. Why do I show you this? So you know. IT is upon you. My Love and Mercy is upon the earth—to cleanse and
purify My children. To SAVE them for eternal life. The cure can be uncomfortable and painful. But My medicine surely cures.
In this you can trust, My little one. Now open My Word.
[I was lead to read Luke 12:55—Division to separate, make peace, His Light shows fractures, differences. We must bind,
heal, restore. We must have Love and Mercy; Matthew 18:14—Not the Will of the Father that ONE of these be lost !]
January, 24, 1997:
My Dearest, Sweetest Father:
...Speak to my heart, O Lord. I'm listening. ...
[I was lead to read: Isaiah 9:11-13—God punished His children who have turned from Him and not "sought" Him; Acts 3:1—Peter
cures someone who asks for alms at the "Beautiful Gate." Be penitent and converted for when the time of refreshment shall
come; Hosea 11:12—But Juda went down as a witness with God, and is faithful with the Saints (His other children rejected
him, but He is not man and will not destroy them; "My heart is turned within me, my repentance is stirred up." (We can "touch"
the Father and change His heart—He really does care!); Exodus 4—The Lord sent Moses to free the people from Pharaoh,
but would have killed Moses for not circumcising his son. Moses "wife" did it and saved them—8-day covenant, not to
disregard, even on God's errand you must keep his rules; Luke 11:39 Scribes and Pharisees clean up platter on outside, but
filthy on inside. Don't go in themselves and keep others from going in (hung up on ritual without Love); 2 Machabees 14—Ritually
ordained priests. Others mingled with heathens and apostasy; Timothy 3:11—The women (deacons) in like manner chaste,
not slanderers, but sober, faithful, in an things.}
January 25, 1997:
Prayer for the Prodigal Child's Journey:
In choosing not to do God's Will, I left the Home of My Father. Now I am lost,
alone and frightened.
Mary, my Mother, prepare me to return to my Father by shaping and molding me into an image of your Son, Jesus. Then please
take my hand, and lead me to Him.
Jesus, my Brother, my Savior, my God, because of Your caring and urgent knocking, I have opened the door of my heart
to You. Please take my heart, placing it in Your own, and lead me to our Father.
Holy Spirit, my Sanctifier and my God, please purify and refine me. Fill me with Your Divine Light and Love so God my
Father may come and dwell within me.
Father, receive me into Your open arms. I return to You as Your Prodigal
Child. I am unworthy to call You Father, but I beg for Your Fatherly Love and Mercy. I am Yours; I belong to You.
Be with me and in me always, Father. I am home at last in You as I desire You to be home in me. Father, may Your
Kingdom come soon, so Your Will may be done on earth as it is in heaven. Amen.
Original Closing Prayer for Litany:
Dearest God Our Father, as the Apostle John tells us in the Book of Revelations, You have ordained that the eighth foundation
stone for Your new Jerusalem will be Beryl, a powerful catalyst.
Let us know, love, serve, and honor You through eight days of purification
and dedication as You willed it throughout our salvation history, and may this eight day consecration serve as a powerful
catalyst to bring all Your
prodigal children back home to You. All this through Your Love and the Love of Mary, our Mother; Jesus, our Savior;
and the Holy Spirit, our Sanctifier. Amen.
