I AM the Witness
For a Safe and Swift Delivery
Call upon the Messengers
Dear Mother,
I am writing to thank you and to witness to the intercession of you and Lanello in the recent birth of my son.
My wife and I had chosen to have a home birth with a certified nurse midwife in attendance. After having a normal pregnancy, my wife’s labor began and continued many hours with little progress being made. At this point, the advice of our midwife was to check into the hospital for consultation and monitoring. She called the ranch and left a message with your secretary that because of the difficult labor we would be transferring to the hospital.
We had been at the hospital for an hour and still no progress (due to what was later diagnosed as a dysfunctional labor pattern that prevented dilation from occurring). The doctor said he would wait another hour for any change in the labor. The papers authorizing a cesarean section had been prepared by the hospital staff and signed by myself.
The doctor and the nurses left the room and my wife and I were alone. All along I had been making calls and praying to the Masters for intercession during the labor and delivery and I was now pondering what call would be the most needed at this critical time. I suddenly remembered one that I had overlooked. The thought flashed into my mind: “Call to Lanello and Mother for intercession!” I remembered the teaching that because of your mantles as Messengers, you are the ones who can intercede most quickly in the physical octave.
Then I recalled Lanello’s 1992 Ascension Day Address. He said that he could do so much more for us if we would only call to him. I remembered his words:
|
| Don’t forget to call to me, for Lanello is my name. Don’t forget my little ones, all of the children in this Community and beyond and those who are coming and those who must be on this path. There are so many that I hold in my arms. Don’t forget to teach them to call to me and to tell them that Lanello is my name. |
I remembered how loving and soft his voice was. It seemed he wanted so much to be a more intimate part of our lives. I made a very heartfelt call to him and to you, Mother, to please intercede swiftly on behalf of my wife and the delivery of the baby.
The nurses came back in and suggested that I get something to eat since I hadn’t eaten in a long time. I left for about twenty minutes and was in the hospital lobby speaking with my parents when the midwife came running in to tell me that suddenly total dilation had occurred and the labor was now proceeding quickly. I hurried to be with my wife and in another five minutes you telephoned the delivery room to offer her encouragement and to make calls and prayers over the phone for her and the baby.
Our son was born about one-half hour later to the great joy of everyone in the room. I just knew that Lanello’s intercession was the prime reason for the swift birth. This was confirmed a couple of weeks later when you spoke with my wife. You told her that right before you telephoned the hospital Lanello had told you to “Call now!”
In the past week as I was contemplating the miracle of my son’s birth, I felt compelled to reread a dictation from beloved Rose of Light, published in the 1989 Pearls of Wisdom. In this Pearl, Rose of Light states:
|
| Therefore know that the office and mantle of Mother of the World is one that is offered gladly by your Messenger as a means of intercession in all manner of burden and tribulation. Whereas you can well understand that the Messenger in embodiment may not have hours and minutes in the day to [personally] answer in this octave all of the calls that are sent to her (although she does answer many), you can be absolutely certain that at inner levels the simple call to the Christ Self [and] the I AM Presence of the Messenger and to Lanello ascended will bring you immediate intercession. |
Rose of Light goes on to say:
|
| Do not hesitate, therefore. For when you have one in physical embodiment [such as the Messenger to intercede in your behalf], sometimes you can make the connection to our octaves much more swiftly than when you call to us directly; [for she has the direct contact whereas, due to planetary effluvia or your emotions of the moment, often you do not.] Such is the meaning of Hierarchy. And you yourselves are a part of this Hierarchy and may also be instruments, through your own path of Christhood, to transmit to those in need a quantity of Light from above. |
Our family is so very grateful to you and Lanello for being the spiritual “midwives” in the safe delivery of our beautiful son. God bless and thank you for your service to life.
In deepest gratitude,
