"Those who are called to witness in My Name before the Father are being tested as never before. My mercy will go out to meet many.
"My little one, pray for the day of pestilence is here.
"Woe to those who condemn those of My anointed. Do not partake or remain in the company of others who freely condemn My anointed. Let your conversation be filled with prayer, not condemnation.
"All will come before Me. Beware. It is I Who can set free or hold bound. Only through the Blood of the Lamb is Redemption in ransom. All are being tested but only to the degree I permit.
"Be on guard, for the tongue is defiling many souls. Pray for those who continue to live lives as if I did not come to free you of sin. Little one, have no fear. Remain little in yourself. I will not show mercy to those who defile my words. My people! Wake up and pray, pray for your salvation!"
Note: Mrs. Gallagher felt that this January 2, 1997 message should be brought to public attention. In view of the constant downgrading in the media of priests and religious, and the attacks which are now directed against all priests and sacred ministers. She urges that people pray for all their bishops, priests and religious, and realize just how important a role the priest plays in the lives of the faithful and why the Lord views them with such love and compassion. Even if we see their faults we should pray for them rather than publicly condemn them, for none of us are without fault.
