I was asked by the writer of this book, Carver Alan Ames, to write the preface. As a Catholic priest, I would like to tell you that I am astonished at the same time impressed with the spiritual and ascetic knowledge of this man.
Bear in mind that Alan Ames has never studied Philosophy, Theology or Mariology. Analysing this book, I did not find anything which offends or obscures the teaching of the Church with regard to faith or morals. No wonder he has the permission of our Archbishop of Perth [Australia] to speak in halls or churches, wherever he is invited to go.
In his writings, Alan often says "Our Mother Mary told me to write this", or "Jesus Christ inspired me to describe such and such a thought".
He is often helped by The Son Jesus, The Father and The Holy Spirit. Alan’s words or writings come spontaneously from his genuine heart that only a man of God or a man of prayer can arrive at to such an extent.
His presence, while talking publicly, attracts a large number of faithful and sceptical people who come to listen to what he says. Similarly through his writings there have been conversions as he and his beloved wife were not so long ago. As a holy man, Alan is also gifted by God while praying over people.
I encourage people to read whatever Alan has already published, but in a special way this book, that I have read very closely has greatly increased my spirituality. May God and Mary bless you all.
"Thou shalt not kill", is another commandment I have given to My children. Why would I give this commandment? Why would I say to kill is wrong? The explanation is very simple, if you kill another knowingly, then you destroy My creation, a creation of love. Not only do you destroy My creation in another but you destroy your very soul, you deny yourself eternal life in heaven.
There are many ways of killing and many excuses for it but whatever the way, whatever the reason, it is still wrong, it is still a sin. If you kill for justice or for what is right, this is a sin. If you kill for truth and honour, this is a sin; if you kill for revenge or for your country, this is a sin. All killing is a sin unless it is an accident, unless it was not meant to happen.
The taking of a life no matter what the reason offends Me your God deeply and your soul mortally.
Those who agree to killing, whether it be through their governments in wars or in justice, carry the scars on their souls also. Those who agree to killing as an act of mercy, as an act of help for those in pain, still carry this scar on their souls. Those who stand by and watch as others kill and say nothing, by their inaction scar their very souls. Those who kill to stop killing become the same as those they oppose, they become filled with sin. All killing is wrong, all killing offends Me your God and all killing leads you away from God.
