“Cenacles of Life with Me”

 

       'When two or three are gathered in my name, I am there in the

midst of them,' thus spoke my Son Jesus.

When two or more priests of my Movement are gathered to­gether on my account, I also am in the midst of them. I manifest myself to them and through them, especially when these priests are joined in prayer.

It is therefore necessary that these priests of my Movement begin to meet each other and to gather together. It is not neces­sary that they come together in great numbers: even two or three are enough. These gatherings must constitute real and true cenacles.

    Now that my Movement of priests is spreading everywhere,

these cenacles must be multiplied.

There is no need of organization. Everything should be sim­ple, spontaneous, quiet and fraternal.  Where two or more priests of my Movement come together because of me, there is the cenacle.

In the Cenacle, there were the Apostles with Mary, the Mother of Jesus. In these cenacles, I want the priests of my Movement to be gathered with me, the Mother of Jesus, and a mother most especially for them.

Why do I want them to come together in cenacles with me?

- To remain with me, so that I myself can nourish and form them, and cause them to grow in perfect consecration to me; so that they may truly be my priests alone, and in them and through them I may once again manifest myself.

    -Above all to pray with me: when my priests pray, united with

each other and with me, how efficacious is their prayer!

    For it is then that I myself accomplish in them my maternal

task of interceding before God for all my children.

, To be united among themselves and with me in the celebra­tion of Holy Mass, in the recitation of the Liturgy of the Hours, and in praying the holy rosary: this is my prayer!

    The rosary is the weapon that I give to these children of mine

to fight the great approaching battles which await them.

- To love each other and to live in true brotherhood in the com­pany of their Mother. It is necessary today that my priests know each other, that they help each other, that they truly love one another, that they be as brothers brought together by their Mother!

    There is today too much loneliness, too much abandonment for my priests! . . .

    I do not want them to be alone: they must help each other, love each other, they must all feel as - and really be - brothers.

     - To await the decisive moments which are drawing ever closer.

The time is near when some of my poor priest-sons, tricked

. and seduced by Satan, will come out in the open and set themselves against my Son, against me, against the Church and the Gospel.

Then the cohort of my priests, prepared and led by me, are to come forth into the open to proclaim with courage and before everyone the divinity of my Son, the reality of all my privileges, the necessity of the hierarchical Church united to, and under the leadership of, the Pope, and all the truths contained in the gospel!

Many priests, uncertain and, as it were, overwhelmed by the tempest, will follow your example and return along the road of salvation. For the present," prepare yourself with me during this time of waiting.

Let your gatherings be true cenacles of life with me, of prayer, of brotherhood, and of waiting. . . ."

I Will Teach You to Love

"My very dear son, I love you. I love you so much! It pleases you to hear this repeated to you; it pleases my mother's heart to say it to you more and more often.

From now on, it should be love alone that guides you at every moment and in each of your actions.

Love for the Father, for the Son and for the Holy Spirit; love for this divine and Most Holy Tr1nity which, dwelling within your soul, impels your heart towards an ever greater love for your heavenly Mother as well.

     It is in my Immaculate Heart that your Mother will form you

to an ever greater and purer love for God.

     No creature has ever been able to love the Lord as has your

Mother in heaven.

The Spirit of the Father and of (he Son begets in you a great thirst for perfect love, and thus your soul is inclined spon­taneously to seek the heart of the Mother.

I will teach you to love God and your neighbor ever more and more. I will give to your heart my own capacity to love. I will help you to divest yourself of every other yearning, to bring you to a simple, continuous and pure act of love.

And thus, you will realize your vocation. (. . .)

My only joy is to bring you to love, so that my own heart

may love, within yours, the Most Holy and Divine Trinity."

Mother of the Second Advent

"Beloved children, begin this new year in the inm1aculate light of my divine maternity. I am your Mother as well, by the Will of my Son Jesus.

And, as Mother, I want to take you by the hand and accom­pany you on the threshold of this decade, which you are begin­ning precisely on this day. It is a very important decade. It is a period of time particularly marked by a strong presence of the Lord among you. During the last decade of your century, the events which I have foretold to you will have reached their completion. Therefore, it is necessary that you allow yourselves to be formed, one and all, by my motherly action

- I am forming you in your hearts, in order to bring you to conversion and to open you to a new capacity for love. In this way, I heal you of the malady of egoism and. of aridity.

- I am forming you in your souls, helping you to cultivate in them the great gift of divine grace, of purity and of charity. And,

as in a heavenly garden, I am bringing to blossom the flowers of all the virtues, which cause you to grow in holiness. Thus, I re­move from you the shadow of evil, the co1dness of sin, the wil­derness of impurity.

- I am forming you in your bodies, causing to shine forth in them the light of the Spirit who is dwelling there as in a living temple of his. Thus I lead you along the w;1'y of purity. of beauty, of harmony, of joy, of peace, of communion with all Paradise.

During these years, I am preparing you, by my motherly ac­tion, to receive the Lord who is coming. This is why I have asked you for the consecration to my Immaculate Heart: to form all of you in that interior docility which IS necessary for me in

order that I may be able to work in each one of you, bringing you to a profound transformation, which should prepare you to receive the Lord worthily.

I am the Mother of the Second Advent.

I am preparing you for his new coming. I am opening the

way to Jesus who is returning to you in glory. Make level the

~

. '"


high hills of pride, of hatred, of violence. Fill in the valleys dug by vices, by passions, by impurity. Clear away the barren soil of sin and of the rejection of God.

As a sweet and merciful Mother, today I urge my children; I urge all humanity to prepare the way for the Lord who is com­ing. At the beginning of this last decade of your century, the task, which the Lord has entrusted to me, is that of preparing his com­ing among you. For this reason, I ask all to return to the Lord along the road of conversion of heart and of life, because this is still the favorable time, which the Lord has granted you.

I urge you all to consecrate yourselves to my Immaculate Heart, entrusting yourselves to me as little children, so that I may be able to lead you along the road of holiness, in the joyous practice of all the virtues: of faith, of hope, of charity, of prudence, of for­titude, of justice, of temperance, of silence, of humility, of purity, of mercy.

I am forming you to prayer, which must always be carried out by you in union with me. Multiply, in every part of the world, the cenacles of prayer which I have asked of you, like torches lit in the night, like sure points of reference, like shelters needed and sought for. Above all, I ask that family cenacles be multi­plied more and more, in order to provide you with a safe dwell­ing place in the great trial, which is now awaiting you.

I am the Mother of the Second Advent. Allow yourselves there­fore to be formed and prepared by me, during these years, so that you can be ready to receive Jesus, who will come in glory to

restore among you his reign of love, of holiness, of justice and of peace."

December 31, 1980 The Last Night of the Year

The Greatest Cry

     "Beloved children, spend the last hours which close this year

with me in prayer.

Your time is measured by the beating of my Immaculate Heart, which is shaping its plan oflove and salvation. Each day, each hour is scanned and arranged according to this motherly plan of mine.

The moments you are living through are moments of emer­gency. This is why I have called you all to a more intense prayer and to live with the greatest trust in the merciful love of your heavenly Father.

The golden door of his divine Heart is about to open and Jesus is about to pour forth upon the world the torrents of his mer­cy. These are floods of fire and of grace, which will transform and renew the whole world.

On the waves of sufferings, never before known to this day, and of prodigies never before accomplished, you will reach the safe haven of new heavens and a new earth. An era of grace, oflove and of peace is about to be born from the painful days in which you are living.

And so I invite you to end this year on your knees, uniting yourselves spiritually with the Pope, the first of my beloved sons, who is now suffering and praying so much, to implore the mercy of God upon the world.

May your prayer be a powerful force of intercession and of reparation. Let it be the greatest cry which has ever been heard, strong enough to pierce heaven and to constrain the Heart of

Jesus to pour out the fullness of his merciful love.

     For this, watch and pray with me. My hour and yours has

now come. It is the hour of justice and of mercy."

      The Holy Night

His Second Coming

     "My beloved children, I am gathering you here with me, close

to the poor manger, waiting to place in it my newborn Child.

This is the holy night. You are spending it in prayer and recol­lection. You are spending it with me.

. In this night, darkness covers everything, and silence has now dimmed every sound, when suddenly a new light pours forth from heaven and the festive voices of angels resound along the deserted roadways of the world.

The desert of the world opens to receive its God who is born of me in his human life.

 His second coming, beloved children, will be like the first. As was his birth on this night, so also will be the return of Jesus in glory, before his final coming for the last judgment, the hour of which, however, is still hidden in the secrets of the Father.

  The world will be completely covered in the darkness of the denial of God, of its obstinate rejection of Him and of rebellion against his law of love. The coldness of hatred will still cause the roadways of this world to be deserted. Almost no one will be ready to receive Him.

The great ones will not even remember Him, the rich will close their doors on Him, while his own will be too busy with seeking and affirming themselves. . .

'When the Son of Man comes, will He still find faith on the earth?' He will come suddenly and the world will not be ready for his coming. He will come for a judgment for which man will find himself unprepared. He will come to establish his kingdom in the world, after having defeated and annihilated his enemies.

Even in this second coming, the Son will come to you through his Mother. As the Word of the Father made use of my virginal womb to come to you, so also will Jesus make use of my Immaculate Heart to come and reign in your midst.

This is the hour of my Immaculate Heart, because the com­ing of Jesus' glorious reign of love is now in preparation.

     Beloved children, just as I did, you too must prepare yourselves to receive Him!

This holy night is a sign and a grace for you. I am gathering you together close to his poor manger to fill the vast emptiness which humanity has made for Him. (. . .)"

             Feast of Saint Francis Xavier

Look at the Heart

"Even in this great continent, where I am bringing you for the first time, you see everywhere the wonders of my Im­maculate Heart.

Look at the heart of these children of mine: they are so poor, so simple and they love and honor me so!

Like all the very poor people in general, they are the most defenseless and the most exposed to being exploited by others. And so especially here, there is increasing activity on the part of my Adversary, who never, as in this continent, has unleashed his fury in such a violent and dangerous manner.

d Through you, I want to offer today to these children of mine the secure refuge and the maternal protection of my Immaculate Heart.

e Here also you are aware that my Movement has spread spon­taneously everywhere. This is yet another confirmation that it is solely my work and that I act in silence and hiddenness. I con­tinue to choose as my preferred instruments those whom no one notices, and who know how to be silent, to pray, to suffer and to love.

r In this way, I can accomplish the marvels of love of my Im­maculate Heart here also, among these children of mine who are suffering so much and in such need, who are so simple and good, and therefore so dear to me.

g

Have you observed how many of my beloved sons live amid such poverty, solitude and lack of understanding? And how they have managed to share completely in the painful life of so many of their African brothers?

Love each and everyone of them, these beloved sons of mine. You yourself must be the expression of my motherly tenderness for them.

j

Look at the heart of this whole people and there you will find stamped the seal of love of your heavenly Mother.

Look at the Heart of your heavenly Mother and you will find gathered there, in ever increasing numbers, children of every continent. The whole world is now held in my merciful hands, for the coming triumph of my Immaculate Heart."

Spiritual Exercises in the Form of a Cenacle with the Priests of the M.M.P. from Oceania

Your Light Will Shine

"How happy I am, dear priests of my Movement in Australia,

to see you gathered together here in a continuous cenacle of prayer and brotherhood. Grow in love among yourselves. Live

these days with the joy of brothers who meet together, who know each other, love each other, and help each other to walk

I together along the painful road of these times of the great tribu­lation.

,Pray with perseverance and trust. I am uniting myself with your prayer. I am close to you to give strength and power to I

your prayer, so that the Holy Spirit can come down, with his gifts, upon this cenacle of yours and make you fit for the mission which awaits you.

" " Brighten up the earth in these days of great darkness, and be a source of comfort and consolation for all the Church in this time of its great desolation. Your light will shine more and more and will spread throughout all this vast continent of Oceania, so en­snared and possessed by my Adversary and yours.

      - Your light will shine by way of your priestly witness of faith.

'" See how the apostasy has spread everywhere; how errors are taught and propagated; how the lack of discipline and confusion

oisincreasing. How many pastors no longer keep watch over the flock entrusted to them, and thus many rapacious wolves, in lambs' 'clothing, '"are entering to wreak havoc in the sheepfold of my SonJesus. "

" Be the light set on a lampstand, to draw along the road of

truth many of mypoor children who are walking in the dark­ness of error and of the loss of the true faith. Thus, you will be faithful ministers of the Gospel, and by means of you, the Church,

after the painful trial through which it is now living, will once again shed, in all its splendor, the light of Christ and of his truth.

- Your light will shine by way of your priestly witness of holi­ness.

See how materialism and hedonism are threatening this great country. The search for pleasure, money, comfort, entertainment and impurity have become for many the only ideal in life. And thus the little ones are led astray along the path of evil. Youth are drawn into vice and drugs. Families are destroyed by divorce and by the selfish shutting off of the gift of life.

     Bring back to the house of the Father these poor children of

mine who have gone astray. For this, be faithful ministers of . grace and holiness, through the ministry of the sacraments which

Jesus has entrusted to you, above all that of Reconciliation. Put yourselves at the disposal of the faithful to lead them along the way of good and love, of purity and grace, of peace and salvation.

- Your light will shine by way of your priestly witness oflove. Love everyone with the divine Heart of Jesus and with the

tenderness of my motherly love. See how the world today has become a desert for want of love! Unbridled egoism rules; vio­lence and hatred are spreading; indifference has the upper hand in many hearts, become cold and insensitive toward the most needy.

Priests consecrated to my Immaculate Heart, you must be the soothing balm which is placed on every open and bleeding wound., Take the little ones by the hand; support the weak; lead the uncertain; comfort the sick; save the lost; convert the sinners; give confidence to the despairing; go out to meet those who are far away, and bring them, in your priestly arms, into the safe refuge of my Immaculate Heart.

In this way, you become the instruments of the triumph of my Immaculate Heart in the world.

Go out from this cenacle, and go to every part of this most vast continent to brighten up the earth with the light of your faith, of your holiness and of your love. I am always with you. As Mother, I follow you on your journey, and I am close to you, to give you help and comfort.

With your dear ones, and with those persons who are entrusted to your care, I bless you all in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit."

“My Path”

"From this land of the Far East, where I have brought you to. spread? my motherly message and to gather together my ~children m the refuge of my Immaculate Heart, I am again call­ing the whole Church and all of humanity to follow the path traced out by your heavenly Mother. It is the sure path which brings you to the God of salvation and of peace.

     Upon it you experience the love of the Father, who loves you very much and leads you, who prepares everything for you through his divine providence, and who calls you to an ever-greater

happiness. Allow yourselves to be carried at every moment by this fatherly love, like little children who entrust themselves com­pletely to his divine will.

Upon it, you meet the divine person of my Son Jesus, who, with his glorified body and his divinity, is ever close to each one of you. He wants to be your joy and your peace. He wants to be loved, followed and imitated by each one of you. The path upon which I am leading you is !hat of perfect imitation of my Son Jesus. In this way, you live out the consecration of your bap­tism, and you renounce the world and its seductions, in order to walk along the way of divine grace, of love and of holiness.

Upon it, you become transformed each day by the powerful action of the Holy Spirit, my most beloved Spouse,. who is leading you to the perfection of your witness.        .

I have ordained that it is to be, for you, a painful witness. The times of the purification and of the bloody trial are draw­ing close. This is necessary for the salvation of my children and to purify the Church from the wound of apostasy and infidelity.

My motherly love constrains me to shorten the times. Within a short time, you will begin to understand all that I have been

telling you for years.                    .

Then all my little children who, from every part of the world, have answered me with a yes and who have consecrated themselves to me and whom I am now cultivating in silence and in hiddenness, will open up like fragrant flowers to announce the new season of the triumph of my Immaculate Heart. I bless you all with love and with joy."

“The Communion of Saints”

   “I am the Queen of all the Saints.  Today you are bid to lift up your eyes here to paradise, where so many of your brothers have preceded you.  They are praying for you and helping you that that reign of Jesus, which in heaven is the cause of our joy and glory, may soon come also upon earth.

   May this living communion with all your brothers who are already in paradise become ever more intense.  The communion of the saints must be lived out still more fully at these times, because there is only one Church in which my Son Jesus lives and reigns and is glorified by his brethren, who are still struggling, or suffering, or rejoicing in eternal beatitude.

   As you go about, bringing my invitation everywhere and gathering my children into my cohort, how greatly you are assisted, protected and defended by your brothers who have already arrived up here!

   They form a crown of light about my Immaculate Heart.  Each one of these lights is reflected on each of you, and illumines and guides you on your journey.

   Your heavenly Mother wants to strengthen the bonds of love which unite you to heaven, so that you may daily benefit from the communion of the saints, and go forward united with them.”

   “Do not feel you are alone!

   In the battle to which I am calling you, many of your brother priests whom I have already brought up here to paradise, are also taking part.

   This the lot which awaits my beloved sons: my Immaculate Heart, about which they will , for all eternity, form its most beautiful crown of glory.

   Do not feel you are alone!  There also belong to my cohort the saints of heaven and your brothers who are still being purified in purgatory, offering to me their prayers and sufferings.

   All those priests who, during their earthly life, responded to my invitation, listened to my voice and consecrated themselves to my Heart are now in paradise as lights which shine resplendently about your immaculate Mother.

   They are still very close to you; they are helping you to carry out my plan, they are supporting you by their invisible presence, defending you from evil and protecting you against the many perils in the midst of which you live.

   Do not feel you are alone!  Along with these brother priests of yours, your heavenly Mother’s angels of light are also at your side.  They are preparing you for your perfect offering, just as they prepared my heart to say yes to the will of the Lord.

   They encourage you now of your priestly immolation.

   For you also, my little ones, the hour has come.  And so, heaven and earth are united today in this extraordinary communion of love, of prayer and of action at the orders of your heavenly Leader.

   The plan of my Immaculate Heart is now being carried out, because my Son Jesus is on the point of achieving his greatest victory through the coming into this world of his glorious reign.”

“Peace Will Come to You”

   “In this country too, which I love so much, you have gone everywhere to hold cenacles with my priests and with many other children of mine.  How much love and how much devotion to me you find along all the roads of the world!

   The most generous response to my motherly invitation comes from the poor, the little, the humble, the suffering, the sinners.  The thorns of my sorrow are thus transformed into flowers, and the tears into a smile.

   Each day I see you increasing in numbers and in generosity, and from all sides the sound of your prayer, ever more pleasing, reaches me.  How very dear I hold the rosary, which you recite so often in answer to the urgent appeal of your heavenly Mother!

   How I welcome with joy your response to my sorrowful plea to consecrate yourselves to my Immaculate Heart, in the midst of the great indifference of the majority of my poor children.

   Together we are fighting and, each day, you will add new forces to my cohort, for the victory which has already been announced.

   From my Immaculate Heart, peace will come to you!

   At the moment when everything will seem lost, it is then that you will see the extraordinary prodigy of the Woman clothed in the sun, who will manifest herself in all her power.

   the darkness will be conquered by a light which will cover the who world; the cold of hatred, by the fire of love; the great rebellion against God, by a universal return to his merciful fatherly love.

   Yes, my beloved sons, you will also have to suffer and some of you, in my Immaculate Heart, will be immolated, but through your generous response, the time of the great trial will be shortened.

   More quickly than you yourselves could think, there will come to you the reign of love and of peace of my Son Jesus, to who alone is due honor and power and glory for ever and ever.”

“In This City”

   “Today you are bringing to a close here the journey which you have made through all Japan, where you have been able to see the marvels of love and mercy of my Immaculate Heart.  and you are bringing it to an end precisely in this city, especially loved by your heavenly Mother.

   -- In this city, the work of evangelization was begun by Saint Francis Xavier, the great apostle and missionary, who opened the way in this distant continent to the first announcement of the Gospel.

   -- In this city, there were led to their martyrdom twenty-six of my children, heroic witnesses of Christ, to whom they offered their lives on the altar of my Immaculate heart.  You also were here to celebrate Holy Mass in the shrine, raised upon the spot of their terrible execution.

   -- In this city, there also lived my son, Saint Maximilian Kolbe, and it is here that he constructed the city of the Immaculata, which still today brings my shining presence to many of my Japanese children, who so love and honor me.

   -- In this city, there also exploded the atomic bomb, causing tens of thousands of deaths in a few brief instants, a chastisement and terrible sign of what man can do when, distancing himself from God, he becomes incapable of love, of compassion and of mercy.  This is what the whole world could become if it does not welcome my invitation to conversion and return to the Lord.  From this place, I renew my anguished appeal to all the nations of the earth.

   -- In this city, I manifest my maternal work of salvation and of mercy.  I again invite all my children to journey along the road which, during these years, I have traced out for you with the messages which I have given to the heart of this, my little son.

   For this reason, I have wanted you here again, so that you might offer to this city and to all Japan, the safe refuge of my Immaculate Heart.  Enter, each and all, into this refuge.  Thus, you will be protected and defended by me, when the great and terrible day of the Lord comes upon you.”

“The children Most Loved by Me”

   “I am gazing today with eyes of mercy on this great nation of china, where my Adversary is reigning, the Red Dragon who has set up his kingdom here, enjoining all, by force, to repeat the satanic act of denial and of rebellion against God.

   I see the innumerable and profound sufferings of these poor children of mine, who are walking in the deepest darkness.  They are the children most loved by me.  I am at their side, as a Mother who wants to console them, to help them and to encourage them.

   And so, from this land, I want to give my motherly message to all my children who live in the regions where atheistic communism holds sway and where any external manifestation whatsoever of the worship due to the Lord our god is prohibited and punished.

   -- Above all, I am giving you the certitude that I am always with you, as a true Mother, who is closer in moments of trial and suffering.  I am attentive to your needs.  I comfort you in pain and I take all your suffering into my Immaculate Heart.

   I place in souls seeds of love and of goodness, so that you may be able to walk along the road of good, observing the commandments carved by the Lord in your hearts, by means of his law which is engraved in the very depths of human nature.

   -- Then, with my motherly action, I open your hearts to receive the life of God, which acts within you in a special way, so that there be given Him in secret the adoration and the love which you are prohibited from giving Him with public and external worship.  It is in this way that, in silence and in hidden ness, the true religion is again spreading in your midst and sending down roots in the life of many of my children.

   -- Finally, I am preparing the day, by now close at hand, of your liberation, with the definitive defeat of the Red Dragon of theoretical and practical atheism, which has conquered the entire world.  The time of your slavery is about to end.  All you nations of the earth, come out from slavery and darkness and go to meet Christ who is coming to establish in your midst has glorious reign of love.

   At last the moment has come when I, the Woman clothed with the Sun, will conquer the Red Dragon: I will bind him with a chain and cast him into hell so that he will no longer be able to harm the earth.  It will, in fact, be entirely transformed into a new terrestrial paradise for the perfect glorification of the Most Holy Trinity.”

“Queen of the Angels”

   “In the struggle to which I am calling you, beloved sons, you are being especially helped and defended by the angels of light. 

   I am the Queen of the Angels.  At my orders, they are bringing together, from every part of the world, those whom I am calling into my great victorious cohort.  In the struggle between the Woman clothed in the sun and the Red Dragon, the angels have a most important part to play.  For this reason, you must let yourselves be guided docilely by them.

   The angels, the archangels and all the heavenly cohorts are united with you in the terrible battle against the Dragon and his followers.  They are defending you against the snares of Satan and the many demons who have now been unleashed with furious and destructive frenzy upon every part of the world.

   This is the hour of Satan and of the power of the Spirits of Darkness.  It is their hour, which coincides with the moment of their apparent victorious action.  It is their hour, but the time, which they have at their disposal, is brief, and the days of their triumph are counted.

   Therefore, they are setting dangerous and fearful snares for you and you would not be able to escape them without the special help of your guardian angels.  How many times each day they intervene to rescue, you from all the treacherous maneuvers which, with astuteness, my Adversary undertakes against you!

   This is why I call upon you to entrust yourselves more and more to the angels of the Lord.  Have an affectionate intimacy with them, because they are closer to you than your friends and dear ones.

   Walk in the light of their invisible, but certain and precious presence.  They pray for you, walk at your side, sustain you in your weariness, console you in your sorrow, keep guard over your repose, take you by the hand and lead you gently along the road I have pointed out for you.

   Pray to your guardian angels and live out with trust and serenity the painful hours of purification.

   Indeed, in these moments, heaven and earth are united in an extraordinary communion of prayer, of love and of action, at the orders of your heavenly Leader.”

“The Task Which I Have Entrusted to You”

   “Beloved children, you are sharing today in the joy of the whole celestial and terrestrial Church, which is contemplating your heavenly Mother at the moment of her birth.  I am the dawn which is arising to announce the birth of the eternal sun of my Son Jesus, our Redeemer and Savior.  For this, the Lord has made me immaculate from the moment of my human conception.  He has wanted me all beautiful, full of grace and clothed in holiness.

   Thus today, on the feast of my birth, you are contemplating me as the rising dawn, beautiful as the moon, brilliant as the sun, terrible as an army set in battle array.

----I am the dawn which announces the stupendous event of your salvation and which prepares you all for the coming of the great day of the Lord. 

---I am beautiful as the moon, which shines with the reflected light of the sun, because mine is the very beauty of the Most Holy Trinity which enfolds me, mine the fullness of the grace of God which transforms me, mine his divine holiness which covers me.

---I am brilliant as the sun, because I am called to become the Mother of Jesus Christ, who is the eternal splendor of the Father.

---I am terrible as an army drawn up in battle array, because the task which has been entrusted to me by the Lord is that of conquering Satan; of crushing the head of the ancient serpent; of enchaining the huge Red Dragon and of casting him into his abyss of fire; of struggling with and of defeating the one who opposes himself to Christ, namely the Antichrist, in order to prepare the second coming of Jesus, who will restore his glorious reign among you.

   This is my plan.

   The stronger my presence becomes among you, the more will the darkness of evil, of sin, of hatred and of impurity withdraw themselves from you, because Satan is becoming more and more imprisoned and destroyed.

   In these last times of yours, the task of your heavenly Mother, beautiful as the moon, brilliant as the sun, terrible as an army set in battle array, is to announce that the great day of the Lord is in the very act of coming upon you.

   On this day of my nativity, little son so loved by me, you are on the vigil of a long and tiring journey, which I am again asking you to undertake for me, to many countries of another continent.  This the task which I have entrusted to you: to bring my motherly announcement to every part of the world, and to call all my children to enter, through their act of consecration, into the bright and safe refuge of my Immaculate Heart, because the trial which is about to come upon you is very great, and you are all being called to suffer with me.

   But yours is like the suffering of a mother who must bring her child to the light.  In fact the immense pain of these last times prepares the birth of a new era, the new times, when Jesus will come in the splendor of his glory and will restore his reign in the world.

   Then all creation, set free from the slavery of sin and of death, will know the splendor of a second terrestrial paradise, in which God will dwell with you, will wipe away every tear, and there will no longer be day or night, because the former things has passed away and your light will be that of the Lamb and of the new Jerusalem come down from heaven upon the earth, ready as a bride for her Spouse.”

“Foolishness to Confound Wisdom”

   “You have not understood, my son, that I have chosen foolishness to confound wisdom, and weakness to vanquish strength.

   It is my will that this little book be distributed just as it is.  It will be the means through which I will call many priests into my Movement and form for myself my invincible cohort.

   Your weak faith and your lack of confidence in me grieve me, my son.  What is it you dread?  Whom are you afraid of?  Pray and abandon yourself to me.  Let it be really I alone who act.”

“Ever Farther”

   “You have seen, as never before, the triumph of my Immaculate Heart in the hearts and the lives of my little children.  They have participated by the thousands in the cenacle with an intensity of prayer and with an enthusiasm, which is so simple and spontaneous that they have moved my motherly Heart.

   See how, from every part of the world, my children are responding to me with a yes.  they are the littlest, the poo
