Deliver the Children of the World

Let Love Return to Planet Earth

I come to you, beloved, for in some corners love does not fulfill the Law but rather withholds itself. Do you withhold love because you find in love too much pain?

There comes a time, beloved, when you must pass through that pain and into the glories of everlasting life. Yet until you reach those levels, love is a gift that you give daily and hourly to the universe, to your heart, to the blessed friend, to the beloved, to those who are in need, to those who have never been loved or understood, to children who yet must learn to nestle at their mother's breast.

Know, then, beloved, that to bring love to this world from the levels of heaven takes a bit of confinement on the part of those of us who are in heaven. Yet we enter and we enter again and we look for the day, the moment and the hour when the Holy Spirit within you shall become so powerful that all of your life and loving will be of that tremendous essence of the sacred fire.

All things will come to fruition. All projects will be in line. But if love is not the cement or the healing or the bringing together of community, then where is there eternal life? It is love that brings the infinite ones to your doorstep.

We as ascended masters knock but you do not always answer, for you have another agenda or your hardness of heart does not allow you to open the gates of that inner secret chamber of the heart where you might commune with your Holy Christ Self.

Try Daily to Serve Others in a Very Important Way

It is so much more important, beloved, to give love than to receive it that you should not even be concerned about receiving it but always be concerned that you have given to others enough that they might go another day with their pain, and another and another, so that you do not leave them until they are strengthened and strengthened again.

Each and every one of the chohans of the rays would speak to you today of the same concepts of love. Love is the great magnet that draws to you the peace that passes understanding,<1> the geometry that comes from within, the flowers, the fountains. But above all, beloved, remember that love is caring for the children who have no parents, for those who are orphaned, for those whose parents take drugs and use all the money they have for that purpose. Children then go hungry. So many go hungry! It is not right, beloved. It is ultimately a sin that is marked upon the chart of your own being.

Try, then, daily to serve others in a very important capacity. The most important ones that you serve, beloved, are the children. If they are to have strong bones and strong constitutions, they must have love, they must have nourishment. In some quarters they receive it but in many, many areas of the world there is nothing for them, no one that cares.

Have the Love Flame to Such an Extent That Hardness of Heart Simply Melts Away

May you realize, beloved, that as part of becoming a love flame to these children, you must have the love flame within your own heart to such an extent that the hardness of heart must melt away, simply melt away for your realization of the pain of millions upon earth. Do not judge them, beloved. Perhaps some have done misdeeds and are dark; others are light. It doesn't matter, beloved. Humanity, all of humanity, requires nurturing.

We are pleased to see the opening in South America of feeding of children. This is a wonderful opportunity that the messenger made known to chelas in South America when she was there.<2> As these schools are being opened and children are being fed, so there will dawn an age of enlightenment and opportunity for the seventh root race.<3>

Let us all, then, fervently pray in this hour. For I, Thérèse of Lisieux, truly do desire to see you recognize the plight of the children of the world and not allow yourselves to leave this octave and take your ascension before you have given liberally of yourself, before you have found ways and means to feed all the children of the world. This can be done, beloved. It truly can be done.

Pray for the World's Children

Because this is such a tremendous crisis, I ask you to kneel in prayer for the world's children this day that you might identify with their pain. [Messenger and audience kneel in prayer.]

Beloved Mighty I AM Presence, beloved Father‑Mother God, hear our prayer in this hour. We pray to you, Father‑Mother God, to deliver the children of the world, to quicken our hearts that we might be aware of their pain, that we might truly take action and not simply stand by and say: “Is this not a terrible thing? What shall we do?”

Well, we will do what we must do, and that is to care for those who have nothing, absolutely nothing, to see that they have the proper medications, the proper food, the proper environment and those who care for them. Let us take care of the poor and the hungry. And let us know that it is our solemn duty to enter into that equation and not to look the other way and say, “How glad I am that I am not among the poor and my children are not among the poor!”

Well, you may have been [among the poor] in a last life, beloved, and you might have to be there again if you continue to close your eyes to the pain of these children.

Thus, I, Thérèse, look to you longingly from the inner recesses of my heart and I ask you to remember the little ones every day, not only to pray but to determine to give funds, clothing, et cetera. We are grateful for all the good that is done. But why should there be a single child on earth who cannot eat at least one good meal a day if not more?

So, beloved, to right the wrongs of a civilization we must right the wrongs that we have done to the children themselves, for they are helpless. They have a future if we will give it to them. Make this your calling, beloved. For if you send a deaf ear to the little child, will you also send a deaf ear to the Holy Spirit, to the lords of the seven rays, to the Lord and Saviour, to his Mother?

If you press a deaf ear to the child, beloved, then you will also neglect that child. This can be no longer, for it is an imbalance in the entire world. Think upon it and think upon the northern and southern hemispheres. And realize that this must be accomplished here and then throughout the world.

Let hardness of heart be consumed. Let love return to planet earth, for love has long gone to other areas. And the dark ones with their metallic ages, with their entering in, desiring drugs, desiring money, losing their heart flame, losing even their ability to be human‑‑indeed they are no longer human. And the one that turns away a child is no longer human.

Let us remember this, for all of us have been in this plight in one embodiment or another. Therefore I ask you to pray to the Father‑Mother God now to send angelic reinforcements on behalf of the children, as well as food, clothing, medical supplies, hospitals, et cetera. [Audience, kneeling, offers prayers for the children.]

Please be seated. Please be seated.

Give Until It Hurts

In closing, then, I would remind you that Mother Teresa of Calcutta has said, “Give until it hurts.”<4> Give until it hurts. May you remember her as the messenger has remembered her (as the messenger visited Mother Teresa in Calcutta many years ago with Mark Prophet). Thus, beloved, take care of the little children; and in so doing, your names will be in heaven.

I am Thérèse of Lisieux, and I have desired to have all of my heavens on earth.<5> So I am here and I move in the sphere of heaven amongst you. May you come to know my footstep. May you come to know me in my inner child, in my sainthood and in the very glory of God through my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.

I seal you in the heart of your own inner child in the name of the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit and the Divine Mother.

This dictation by Thérèse of Lisieux was delivered by the Messenger of the Great White Brotherhood Elizabeth Clare Prophet on Tuesday, July 1, 1997, at the 1997 freedom class Practical Spirituality: A Six‑Day Conference on Living a Spiritual Life, held at the Sheraton San Diego Hotel and Marina, San Diego, California.

3. In March 1996, Elizabeth Clare Prophet brought this message to South American audiences: “I am here to champion the cause of the children who need to be fed and clothed and educated, the children who are in the slums....How we deal with our children will...determine whether...the seventh root race [will] come into embodiment. The seventh root race is destined to incarnate in South America....And you are the people...who are preparing this land so that when these souls come into embodiment they will not have to deal with drugs, crime and all of the problems of our cities, our countries, our economy. We cannot just look to our governments; we have to look to ourselves to take care of the children....

“In 1989, Gautama Buddha said: 'How could the Great Divine Director sponsor the coming in of the seventh root race...when the educational methods are not in position...[to allow the] pinions of the mind [to take flight in original creative thinking and] when these souls who should come [into embodiment] with the full joy and expectancy [of bringing forth gifts from their causal bodies for the Aquarian age would only] languish [in the schoolhouses] for want of...illumination....It is immoral, beloved, not to prepare for [their] coming' (1989 Pearls of Wisdom, vol. 32, no. 48, p. 635).

“Saint Germain says...that if we cannot take care of all the children in South America, especially those who are homeless, who are in the slums, who suffer from malnutrition and diseases, who are outcasts of society, if we do not care for these children who are the foundations of the Aquarian age, then the Lords of Karma and the Solar Logoi may decide to wait much longer to allow [them] to be born” (March 7, 1996, Santos, Brazil).
