Private Revelations 12:1

"Little ones, I have been waiting for 2000 years
to fulfill the plan God the Father
has commissioned to me, to bear the fruits
of my Son's Redemption.
Through my Immaculate Heart,
I will obtain for you from my Son
every grace, justice, charity, and peace."
Our Lady of Emmitsburg

"The return of Jesus as a child
through my Immaculate Heart will
provide a refuge where you
will be safe from harm,
and He will give you hope
to live a life in the
fullness of his joy."
Our Lady of Emmitsburg

"The refuge of My Immaculate Heart is for all people... "

Where Is the Immaculate Heart of Mary ?
The Immaculate Heart of Mary is a spiritual place.

How Does One Get To This Spiritual Place ? 
Admission is granted through prayer.
By prayerfully expressing a true and honest desire to enter our Lady's Immaculate Heart, access is granted.  Once there, and a desire to be lead to her Son is expressed, Jesus comes!

  Although Mary gave birth to Jesus in a stable once, bringing Him physically into the world, our Blessed Mother is enabled to continually bring Jesus to the world spiritually.  So, when we visit with her, by speaking from our hearts to her heart, she brings Jesus to our souls.
  During this encounter, He brings the gifts of peace, hope, joy, and limitless love. When we are covered with those gifts, we are totally protected from trials, tribulations, distress, and storms. We are completely and totally safe from harm.

Our Lady’s heart is in constant union with her Son’s Sacred Heart, it is a place of refuge, because it is filled with her Son, Jesus.

The Other Way Our Lady of
Emmitsburg Has Directed
Her Children To Stay Safe
is by Becoming "little"

" No matter what level of knowledge, degree of schooling, or place within the Magisterium of the Church, you can never step outside of humility and littleness, or you risk losing your virtues and wisdom of truth."
Our Lady of Emmitsburg
3/19/98

"Do not be afraid to be 'little'. Be afraid you might become lost through the works of evil from hidden pride."
Our Lady of Emmitsburg
7/22/99

It is only when we give up our power to God, becoming "little" in comparison to Him, that  we find true strength.
  The spiritual concept of being "little" may be quickly rejected because we are conditioned to believe that survival, and the extent of our success in the world, is dependent on our personal power.
When this spiritual concept is not properly understood, it can appear that becoming "little" means weak and vulnerable . However, a deeper look reveals that it is only through "littleness" that true strength is found.

Littleness is a realization of one's limited power
And a realization of God's unlimited power.
Littleness is not a size or an age:
It is a virtue, a lifestyle.
Littleness is the wisdom to avoid wickedness.
Littleness is daring to grow up,
And it is accepting life on life's terms.
It is surrendering our limited power
To God's unlimited power.
Littleness is detachment from possessions,
A joyful surrender of attachments,
And total dependency on God.
- Gianna Sullivan

When We Are Not Little, We Are  Vulnerable
  When we fail to live with humility, we put ourselves in harm's way.  When we do not act as little children before God, we make ourselves vulnerable to the relentless traps of the enemies of God, who love to cause suffering. It is through littleness, through the virtues of the Child Jesus, that true safety can be found.

The Virtues of the Christ Child;
Purity,
Innocence,
Meekness,
Gentleness of Heart,
Honesty,
And, Total Dependence on God.
