MOTHER OF MERCY

Milan (Italy); January 1, 1995
Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God
Mother of Mercy
a "Beloved children, begin this new year by
celebrating the liturgical solemnity of my divine motherhood. I am
true Mother of God because Jesus, who is born of me and is being
placed in the manger, is true Son of God.
b He is the Eternal Word, consubstantial with the
Father, and He assumes his human nature in my virginal womb. He is
the gift of love of the Father: `God has so loved the world that He
has given it his only-begotten Son.' (cf. Jn 3:16) He is the
manifestation of his divine mercy.
c Jesus is born of me to be your Redeemer and to
set humanity free from slavery to Satan and to lead it back to a full
communion of life and of love with God.
d - I am Mother of Mercy. My motherly task
has been that of giving you Jesus, who is the revelation of the
merciful love of the Father. Thus, in order to come to you, divine
mercy has passed through the way of my divine and immaculate
motherhood.
e But I am also your Mother. Beneath the Cross,
through the Will of my Son Jesus, I have become true Mother of all
humanity, redeemed and saved by Him. Thus the divine mercy of Jesus,
in order to reach you, must pass through the motherly way of my
Immaculate Heart. For this reason, the triumph of my Immaculate Heart
coincides with the triumph of divine mercy upon the world.
f - I am Mother of Mercy. To me was
entrusted the task of preparing humanity to receive the heavenly dew
of divine mercy.
g You have now entered into the final years, which
are preparing you for this new and second Advent. They are the most
important and difficult years, the most painful and bloody, because
during them there must take place the final events which have been
foretold to you by me.
h My motherly work of mercy is being made manifest
during these years in this way:
i ... in leading you along the way of
conversion and of return to the Lord. I desire to give you the
grace of a change of heart and of life. I help you to free yourselves
from sin, to fight against the passions, to conquer evil; and I lead
you to full reconciliation with the Lord your God. It is necessary
that this general reconciliation come about quickly, to prepare you
thus for the great trial which awaits you, for the complete
purification of all humanity.
j ... in bringing you to a strong experience of
prayer. For this, I ask you to multiply and to spread everywhere
the cenacles which I have asked of you: among priests, children,
youth and in families. My Immaculate Heart must now become the new
and spiritual cenacle, in which you must all gather together, to
obtain the gift of the second Pentecost. The purification of the
world will come about through the work of the Spirit of Love, who
will pour out from heaven his blazing f re to renew the face
of the earth.
k ... in helping you to live through the hour
of the great trial. Sufferings never before experienced are
awaiting you, because the moment of a universal renewal is drawing
close. Satan will be defeated; the power of evil will be destroyed;
Jesus will restore his glorious reign among you, and in this way the
new heavens and the new earth will be formed. Without an
extraordinary intervention of my motherly love, you would not be able
to support the pain of the great trial which has now come for all.
l - I am Mother of Mercy. The motherly task
of assisting the Church in the hour of her greatest suffering has
been entrusted to me, because she must climb the Calvary of her
immolation and her martyrdom. This merciful action of mine will be
exercised in helping her to carry the cross of betrayal and
abandonment, when the apostasy becomes general and the man of
iniquity foretold by Sacred Scripture enters her, he who will bring
the abomination of desolation into her interior.
m My merciful action will become still
stronger when my children will be persecuted and imprisoned,
tormented and led to martyrdom.
n It is then that I will manifest myself to them
in an extraordinary way, according to a mysterious design which my
Immaculate Heart has, for a long time now, already outlined in all
its particulars.
o – I am Mother of Mercy. All my
children, from this year on, will see fulfilled the prodigy of the
Woman Clothed with the Sun, and I will pour out upon the world the
light and the merciful power of my Immaculate Heart.
p For this reason, at the beginning of the new
year, I invite all to live in confidence and in prayer. Have no fear.
I am with you, and I will manifest myself in an extraordinary way.
The more you enter into the time of the purifying trial, the more you
will feel, in a powerful way, my merciful and motherly presence.
q I bless you all in the name of the Father, and
of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit."

Sale (Alessandria, Italy); February 2, 1995
Feast of the Presentation of the Child Jesus
The Hour of Your Immolation
a "With the lights of your hearts burning
with love, beloved children, accompany me to the temple of the Lord,
to offer with me in sacrifice my divine Child to the glory of the
Heavenly Father. As I place my Child in the hands of the priest, the
Most Holy Trinity bows with pleasure and with a blessing on the
offering of your heavenly Mother.
b The Father, who has so loved the world
that He has given it his only-begotten Son, takes pleasure in
accepting the gift of the Son, become now the living image of his
merciful Love.
c The Son, who from eternity lives in the
bosom of the Father, rejoices in feeling Himself offered on the altar
of his glory, in a Sacrifice of ransom and of redemption, for the
salvation of all.
d The Holy Spirit comes to rest in the
heart of a poor old man and opens it to an understanding of the
divine mystery: `He is set as a sign of contradiction, for the
salvation and the ruin of many in Israel, and as for you, O Mother, a
sword will pierce your Soul.' (cf. Lk 2:34-35)
e Live with me the mystery of this offering, and
let yourselves all be offered, my little children, to the glory of
the Most Holy Trinity.
f The hour of your immolation has come.
g - On the altar of my Immaculate Heart, you are
being immolated to the perfect glory of the Father. Your Heavenly
Father must be glorified. For this, He has created all the universe,
and in your life, He arranges with love every least circumstance for
your good. For this, He has given you his Son for your salvation. In
you, in your life, in your peace, in your joy, the Heavenly Father is
glorified.
h - On the altar of my Immaculate Heart, you are
being immolated to the perfect glory of the Son. The Son must be
glorified. For this, He has come into the world. And the Son is
glorified when the Will of the Father is accomplished by all in a
perfect way. Thus, in you, the Son continues to render his testimony
to the Father. This is his testimony: that his Will be accomplished
by every creature. His Will is that you all be perfectly one in the
Son, so as thus to be perfectly one with the Father. Thus you render
your testimony to the truth, and the truth will set you free.
i - On the altar of my Immaculate Heart, you are
being immolated to the perfect glory of the Holy Spirit. The Holy
Spirit must be glorified. For this, He is constantly being given to
you by the Father and the Son. And the Holy Spirit is glorified when,
with his divine fire, He purifies you and transforms you, so that you
may love, in Him and through Him, the Father and the Son.
j Thus you live in the Heart of the Most Holy
Trinity, and you are offered to its perfect glory.
k The hour of your immolation has come.
l In these times, the Most Holy Trinity must be
glorified. And for this reason, you are being called to be strong
witnesses of the truth. The hour of the great apostasy has
come, and yours is the task of giving to all the splendor of the
divine truth.
m You are living the moments of the great
perversion, during which humanity has become pagan and worse than in
the times of the flood, and you are being called to spread the light
of holiness. Be torches ablaze with holiness and purity in the
deep darkness of sin which has descended upon the world.
n You are being called to become strong witnesses
of love, in the hour of violence and hatred, of unbridled
egoism and of war.
o Now the hurricane is at your doors, and the
Church and humanity will be called to live the tremendous hour of the
great trial. For this, you are being immolated today on the altar of
my Immaculate Heart.
p The hour of your immolation has come.
q I am ever close to you, and I am leading you by
the hand at each moment, as a mother leads her little children. I
will be at your side, in an extraordinary way, during the bloody
moments of your priestly passion and of your martyrdom.
r You will see me then and rejoice, because you
will contemplate your heavenly Mother who offers you, as little
lambs, on the altar of her Immaculate Heart, to the perfect glory
of the Most Holy and Divine Trinity.”

San Marco (Udine, Italy); February 11, 1995
Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes
Wash Yourselves at the Fountain
a "Gaze today at the splendor of holiness and
purity of your heavenly Mother, who has appeared at Lourdes as the
Immaculate Conception. And hasten, one and all, my sick and sinful
children, to the fountain of grace and of divine mercy.
b Wash yourselves at the fountain. Wash
yourselves at the fountain of living water, gushing from the Heart of
Jesus, pierced by the lance of the Roman soldier. For this, with the
hands of little Bernadette, I caused a fountain of purest water to
gush forth from the rock. And so, I have asked you to go and wash
yourselves at the fountain.
c Wash yourselves at the fountain. A person
who has dirtied himself has need to be washed. It is sin which
darkens the beauty of your soul; it is sin which takes sanctifying
grace away from you and separates you from the communion of life with
the Lord your God; it is sin which causes you to return to slavery
under Satan, who thus exercises his evil dominion over you; it is sin
which leads you along the road of your eternal perdition.
d Wash yourselves at the fountain. Immerse
yourselves in the fountain of divine mercy. This fountain, which has
gushed from the pierced Heart of Jesus, is given to you through the
sacrament of Reconciliation. Jesus has instituted it as a precious
fruit of his redemption and in order to meet your extreme weakness.
On the day of his resurrection, He said to the Apostles: `Receive the
Holy Spirit. Whose sins you shall forgive they are forgiven.' (Jn
20:22-23) From that moment, there was given to you the
possibility of washing yourselves, each and every time your souls
become degraded by sin.
e Wash yourselves at the fountain. During
these years, the sacrament of Reconciliation has become more and more
neglected; in fact, it is being attacked in a subtle and perverse
way. Thus, there is spreading the wicked habit of committing sin with
levity, of justifying it, of not regretting having committed it, and
of no longer confessing it.
f In many parts of the Church, sacramental
confession has totally disappeared. Priests who are making themselves
available for this indispensable sacrament are becoming more and more
scarce. In this way, the Church is becoming utterly paralyzed in her
apostolic action; she is wounded and covered with deep sores, like a
leper.
g Wash yourselves at the fountain. Today I
am setting before you the ardent and impassioned request of your
heavenly Mother that, in these last times of the great tribulation,
the sacrament of Reconciliation be restored in all its splendor in my
Church.
h Because, it is only from this fountain
that divine mercy can be poured out upon all humanity. It is in this
sacrament that Jesus can form new hearts and a renewed life. It is
only with this precious sacrament that the merciful love of Jesus can
be communicated to the Church and to all humanity.
i For this reason, I invite you today to let
yourselves be immersed in the fountain of divine mercy and to look to
me, your heavenly Mother, who have been conceived immaculate for the
very purpose of becoming for you Mother of Mercy."

Fatima (Portugal); March 11, 1995
Cenacle with the Priests and Faithful of the
M.M.P. from Portugal
My Secret
a "In this my venerated shrine, I welcome you
all, my beloved ones and children consecrated to me, that I may
enclose you all within the safe refuge of my Immaculate Heart.
b - Here, I appeared as the Woman Clothed with the
Sun, to point out to you the road along which you must journey in
this century of yours, so ensnared and in the possession of the
spirit of Evil.
c - Here, I came from heaven to offer you the
refuge in which to take shelter at the moment of the great struggle
between me and my Adversary and in the painful hours of the great
tribulation and chastisement.
d - Here, I caused the Marian Movement of Priests
to spring up, and by means of this little son whom I have brought to
every part of the world during these years, I have formed for myself
the cohort, now ready for the battle and for my greatest victory.
e - I want you here today, spiritually united with
this son of mine, as a great cenacle of my Movement is being held
before the image of your heavenly Mother, placed in the very spot
where I appeared to the three children, Jacinta, Francisco and Lucia.
f Here, I am gathering you all round about me and
expressing to you my pleasure for the way in which you have accepted
the invitation to become part of the Marian Movement of Priests, to
consecrate yourselves to my Immaculate Heart and to spread everywhere
cenacles of prayer among priests, children, youth, and in families.
g I want you spiritually here with me, because as
of now you are entering into the last period of time of this century
of yours, when the events which I have predicted to you will come to
their complete fulfillment. For this reason, here in the very place
where I appeared, I want today to reveal to you my secret.
h My secret concerns the Church.
i In the Church, the great apostasy, which will
spread throughout the whole world, will be brought to its completion;
the schism will take place through a general alienation from the
Gospel and from the true faith. There will enter into the Church the
man of iniquity, who opposes himself to Christ, and who will bring
into her interior the abomination of desolation, thus bringing to
fulfillment the horrible sacrilege, of which the prophet Daniel has
spoken. (cf. Mt 24:15)
j My secret concerns humanity.
k Humanity will reach the summit of
corruption and impiety, of rebellion against God and of open
opposition to his Law of love. It will know the hour of its greatest
chastisement, which has already been foretold to you by the prophet
Zechariah. (cf. Zec 13:7-9)
l Then this place will appear to all as a
bright sign of my motherly presence in the supreme hour of your great
tribulation. From here my light will spread to every part of the
world, and from this fount will gush the water of divine mercy, which
will descend to irrigate the barrenness of a world, now reduced to an
immense desert.
m And in this, my extraordinary work of
love and of salvation, there will appear to all the triumph of the
Immaculate Heart of her who is invoked as the Mother of Mercy."

Spiritual Exercises in the Form of a Cenacle
with the Priests of the M.M.P. from Spain and Gibraltar
I Am Consoled by You
a "My sorrowful Heart is consoled by
you, during these days of continuous cenacle, beloved children of my
Movement who have come from many parts of Spain, this land so
ensnared by my Adversary, but loved and protected by your heavenly
Mother. You are pouring balm on my injuries and closing the wounds of
my deep sorrow.
b I am consoled by you.
c - I am consoled by you, through your
continuous prayer, made with recollection and love, and which
you offer to the Lord with me and by means of me.
d You give a great force of intercession and
reparation to your heavenly Mother, and thus I am able to intervene
in order to dispose the events of your time according to the design
of mercy and salvation of my Immaculate Heart.
e How great is my sorrow in seeing that prayer is
being more and more neglected by many of my beloved children. They no
longer pray. An immoderate and wasteful activity occupies the day of
many priests, who get submerged in the spirit of the world and become
tasteless salt and lights that have now burned out.
f - I am consoled by you through your
pledge to walk along the road of holiness. Today, how
necessary for the salvation of the world is the holiness of priests!
g In a world possessed by the Evil One, in a
Church darkened by secularism and moral permissiveness, it is
necessary that priests be holy, to point out to all the sure road
which leads to salvation and peace.
h Fight against sin as your greatest evil.
Make yourselves always available for the sacrament of Reconciliation,
which is today being so neglected. Give the grace of God to the souls
darkened by evil. Walk with joy along the road strewn with flowers of
all the virtues, and thus you will arrive at sanctity.
i For this, I ask you to consecrate yourselves to
my Immaculate Heart, because I want to communicate to you also, my
little children, the very holiness of your heavenly Mother.
j - I am consoled by you through your
special pledge of fidelity and unity.
k In this country of yours, how widespread
and dangerous is the contestation directed against the Pope and the
opposition to his Magisterium! And thus, fundamental truths of the
Catholic faith are questioned and denied; errors are taught and
followed; the loss of faith becomes diffused, and the great apostasy
from Jesus and his Gospel spreads everywhere.
l You must be strong witnesses of unity
with the Pope and fidelity to the Gospel, whose ministers you are.
Pay no attention to the bad example which superiors and confreres may
give you in this matter. Look only at the profound sorrow and the
bleeding wound which this increasing apostasy, spreading more and
more in the Church, causes the Heart of your heavenly Mother.
m And pour the balm of your faithfulness and your
unity on the open and bleeding wounds of my Immaculate Heart.
n - I am consoled by you because you are
following the road which, in these years, I have traced out for you
with the messages which I have given to the heart of this little son
of mine. Be more and more united with him; accept the word which I
give you by means of him.
o Do not let yourselves become distracted or
enticed along other roads, because today many are those who are
spreading false messages and untrue visions. In this way, work
together toward an ever increasing diffusion of this work of mine,
the Marian Movement of Priests, throughout all your country. And
become the precious instruments of my motherly action of salvation
and mercy for all my poor wandering children. In this way above all,
I am consoled by you.
p With your dear ones, with all those who are
entrusted to your priestly ministry, I bless you in the name of the
Father. and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit."

Holy Thursday
I Have Ardently Desired
a "Beloved sons, live this Holy
Thursday in the Gethsemane of my Immaculate Heart. It is your
Passover. It is the day which recalls the institution of the new
Sacrifice and of the new Priesthood.
b You were present in the loving design of
the Heart of Jesus, who was about to open Himself to his greatest
offering. `I have ardently desired to eat this Passover with you
before I suffer.' (Lk 22:15)
c ‘I have ardently desired.’ All the
life of Jesus has been directed to this supreme and ineffable moment.
From the incarnation in my virginal womb to his birth, from the
threatened childhood to youth, from early manhood spent in the poor
house of Nazareth to his public life, each day Jesus was constantly
impelled toward this moment.
d `I have ardently desired.' When Jesus was
crushed with weariness and fatigue; when He was surrounded by the
Pharisees' snares and rejected by the mighty; when He was making his
way along the roads of Galilee and Judea to announce the Good News;
when He was healing the sick, pardoning sinners, and setting free the
possessed; when He was awaited by the poor and consoled by the little
ones. Jesus was constantly yearning to reach the fulfillment of this,
his Passover. `I have ardently desired to eat this Passover with you
before I suffer.'
e It is the Passover of love. On this day,
Jesus gives his body as food and his blood as drink to those who are
being redeemed and saved by Him. There is no greater love than this,
that one lay down his life for those whom he loves.
f In this, his gift, the new and eternal Covenant
between God and humanity is established, and the rite of the new
Passover in the true Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the
world is instituted. Beloved sons, accept with gratitude this great
gift of the love of Jesus, who has associated you intimately in his
supreme and eternal Priesthood.
g It is the Passover of suffering. Love is
proven with suffering. So then, to this, his utmost gift of love,
Judas responds with betrayal, Peter with denial, the Apostles with
desertion, and the servants of the high priest with outrage and
buffets.
h `I have ardently desired.' The Heart of
Jesus burns now forever with this, his ardent desire. Merciful Love
flows forth with the blood and the water, from the wound in his
pierced side. And it descends like a heavenly dew to wash away every
stain, to cancel every sin, to heal every malady, to close every
wound, to help every stricken person, to relieve all who have fallen,
to set free every prisoner, to save whomever is lost.
i In these last times of yours, the hour so longed
for by Jesus has come, because his merciful love is preparing his
greatest triumph. And so, I invite you today to enter, each and all,
into the Gethsemane of my Immaculate Heart.
j Thus you will be formed by me, Mother of Mercy,
to become the precious instruments of the triumph of the merciful
love of Jesus upon all this poor humanity, which has extreme need of
being saved.
k Thus today, you too must earnestly desire
to eat this Passover, before your suffering."
542
Capoliveri (Livorno, Italy); April 14, 1995
Good Friday
Tears and Blood
a "You are looking today upon Him whom they
have pierced. Beloved children, live this day with me, sorrowful
Mother of the Passion.
b How much blood have my weeping eyes seen
this day! My Son Jesus is reduced, by the scourging, to one great
wound. The terrible Roman scourges have cut into his body deep wounds
from which there flows copiously the blood which covers Him with a
mantle of purple. Piercing his head is the crown of thorns from which
spurt rivulets of blood which run down, covering and disfiguring his
face. `So disfigured was He, that He was beyond human semblance.'
(cf. Is 52:14) The nails pierce his hands and feet, and the
blood spurts out and runs down upon the wood of the Cross.
c During the three hours of excruciating agony, I
remain beneath the Cross with John and the holy women, and together
we are bathed in his precious blood.
d Then, after He has emitted his last
breath, the Roman centurion, with lance in hand, pierces his side,
from which flow blood and water, symbols of the sacraments of your
rebirth. From this fount the Church is born, born in the cradle
formed by the blood of the Son and the tears of the Mother.
e Tears and blood. They are the price of
your ransom. They are the sign of an immense suffering. They are the
gift of divine Mercy which has come down to renew the whole world.
f Today you are living a new Good Friday. And how
much blood flows down again from the weeping eyes of your heavenly
Mother! It is the blood of children killed in the wombs of their
mothers. It is the blood poured out by all the victims of violence
and hatred, of fratricidal struggles and wars. And again copious
tears flow down from my motherly eyes in the face of a humanity which
bears within itself the reason for its own condemnation.
g Tears and blood. I want to help this poor
humanity return to its Lord, along the road of conversion and of
repentance, and so I am giving it evident signs of my motherly
affliction and my sorrowful anxiety. This is why I am causing tears
and blood to flow down from some of my images.
h How can a child not be moved before its mother
who is weeping? How can you, my beloved children, not be moved before
your heavenly Mother who is weeping tears of blood? And yet, these
very grave signs, which I am giving you today, are neither accepted
nor given credence, but on the contrary are openly opposed and
rejected. Thus the extreme action that I am undertaking, to lead you
to salvation, is being obstructed by you.
i So then, my poor children, I am no longer given
the possibility of holding back the hand of the justice of God who,
by his terrible chastisement, will purify this humanity which can not
be helped, because of its obstinate refusal to accept all these
extraordinary interventions of your heavenly Mother.
j As of now, for the Church and for humanity, the
painful and bloody trial has finally come. I see your roads smeared
with tears and blood. Thus this world will be purified by divine
Justice, this world which has touched the bottom of perversion and of
rebellion against its God who, for your salvation, is today being
immolated and put to death on the Cross.
k At least you, my beloved ones, remain with me
beneath the Cross, together with your brother John, to give comfort
and consolation to your sorrowful Mother, pierced once again by the
sword of such a vast rejection. And unite your sorrow with mine, to
implore once again the miracle of divine mercy upon the world."
543

Holy Saturday
Keep Watch with Me
a "Beloved children, stay close to
your heavenly Mother, on this day while the body of my Son Jesus
rests lifeless in his new sepulcher.
b Keep watch with me.
c In prayer, which you should make with me
and by means of me. During this day, your heavenly Mother was living
in a constant communion of life with the Heavenly Father, who was
bestowing on me all his love and, with his divine tenderness, was
putting precious balm on all my wounds. The Father thus saw all the
suffering of the Son and the Mother blossom into the joy which He
experienced, because He could at last embrace, in his bond of love
and life, all humanity, now redeemed and saved.
d During this day, I was living with my
soul ever close to the body of my Son, laid in his new sepulcher. My
prayers were covering Him like a fragrant ointment. My tears were
washing Him clean of all his blood, and my hands were passing over
his body to close, with motherly tenderness, each of the wounds. And
thus was I preparing this lifeless body to receive its new and
powerful breath of life.
e During this day, the Holy Spirit was
bringing me into his spousal enclosure, giving me joy and peace and
speaking to me his divine thanks for having received into my virginal
womb and accompanied all the way to the sepulcher the only-begotten
Son of the Father.
f Keep watch with me.
In hope which, on this day, is about to
become certainty. When my Son Jesus presented Himself to me in his
glorious body, more resplendent than the sun, and tenderly pressed me
to his divine Heart, for me all suffering came to an end. Now death
had been conquered by life; sin, by grace; evil, by good; hatred, by
love; Satan, by the Son of God, dead and risen.
h Keep watch with me.
i In confidence live with me this Sabbath
day. In the sepulcher lies all this poor humanity, once again in the
possession of the Evil One and reduced to the slavery of sin and
evil. This is the Sabbath of its lengthy entombment.
j Soon it will come forth from the tomb in which
it lies, when Jesus returns in glory and leads it into the new garden
of his resurrection. The great miracle of divine mercy is in
preparation. It will repeat for all humanity that which happened to
my Son Jesus. Because, this humanity will be completely renewed by
the powerful breath of the Holy Spirit, who will be poured out upon
the whole earth, and it will return into the arms of its Heavenly
Father, who will be pleased to be reflected in it, as Jesus will have
brought into a renewed world his reign of glory.
k For this, beloved children, I invite you today
to keep watch with me in prayer, in hope and in confidence, on this
your long Sabbath, which is about to come to an end."

Easter Sunday
The Triumph of Divine Mercy
a "Beloved children, rejoice with me,
sorrowful Mother of the Passion, and consoled and joyous Mother of
the Resurrection.
b Your joy is united with that of all the angelic
cohorts, who bow down to adore my Son Jesus, as He appears to them in
the dazzling splendor of his divinity. It is united also with the joy
of all Paradise, which welcomes the Son of God, risen and seated at
the right hand of the Father, and in that of the just who, in the
lower regions, salute the moment of their liberation. Today new
quiverings of life are running throughout all creation. All humanity
exults with greatest joy because, in Jesus Crucified, dead and risen,
it contemplates the triumph of divine mercy.
c - The triumph of divine mercy is accomplished
in the debt paid to divine justice, because of the sin which was
committed by our first parents and which has brought condemnation
upon all their descendants. Today, in Christ who rises, there comes
about this marvelous return of all humanity into the arms of its
Heavenly Father. Jesus is offered as victim of expiation, so that the
merciful love of the Father might be able to receive, into his
communion of life, this humanity, now redeemed and saved.
d - The triumph of divine mercy is accomplished
in the victory of good over evil, of grace over sin, of love over
hatred, of life over death. In Christ who comes forth victorious from
the grave, a way of light is traced out for all humanity, so that it
may thus respond to the great gift which it has received from Him. It
is the way of love. Now love is called to triumph over egoism and
hatred, over violence and war, over misunderstanding and all
divisions.
e -The triumph of divine mercy is accomplished
over Satan and all his wicked spirits, because this day marks the
moment of their greatest defeat. Satan can still act to lead to ruin
and perdition this frail humanity, even though it is redeemed. But in
the end the triumph will be totally God's, because Christ is the only
Savior and your Redeemer.
f In these last times, the struggle between good
and evil, between grace and sin, between God and Satan, is reaching
the summit of its power.
g It seems that, in your days, Satan has attained
his victory, as during the Sabbath when Jesus lay lifeless in the
sepulcher. But the moment is close when Christ Risen will manifest
Himself in all his power; evil will be destroyed; Satan will be
defeated forever; and then will appear in all its splendor the
triumph of divine mercy over the world."

Perpignan (France); May 13, 1995
Anniversary of the First Apparition at Fatima
Pray for the Pope
a "You are recalling today the first
apparition, which took place in the Cova da Iria in Fatima, with the
first of many cenacles of my Movement, which this little son of mine
will again hold in all of France, a land so ensnared and possessed by
my Adversary, but so defended and protected by your heavenly Mother.
b And nowhere as here has the message which I gave
at Fatima in 1917 been so pertinent and urgent. Look with the
merciful eyes of your heavenly Mother on the suffering and divided
Church, threatened with the loss of faith and with a great apostasy.
See how the pastors are being stricken and becoming tepid and
unfaithful, and thus the flock is being more and more scattered along
the ways of evil and sin and is running the danger of arriving at
eternal perdition.
c Feel the profound sorrow of my Immaculate Heart
in seeing the disunity which has entered deeply into the very heart
of the Church, due to the disobedience and the opposition of bishops
and priests to the Pope, who has been constituted by Jesus as the
foundation of the Church and infallible guardian of its truth.
d - Pray for the Pope. This Pope is the
greatest gift which my Immaculate Heart has given you for the time of
the purification and the great tribulation. An important part of my
message and of my secret, that I revealed to the three children to
whom I appeared, refers precisely to the person and the mission of
Pope John Paul II.
e How great is his suffering! Often it is
as though he were being crushed beneath the weight of a cross which
has become so very heavy. Humanity is hastening along the road of
violence and hatred, of fratricidal struggle and war, despite his
anguished cry, which he causes to go out to all in order to
invoke peace.
f This humanity has become more and more enslaved
to comfort and pleasure, to materialism and hedonism, to hardness of
heart toward the needs of the little, the poor, the marginalized, the
oppressed and the exploited.
g How great is the suffering of the Pope, in
seeing humanity so threatened with running irresponsibly along the
way of its own destruction.
h - Pray for the Pope. How his heart is
caused to bleed because of the division which is taking root in the
Church, the loss of faith which is becoming more widespread, the
errors which are being taught and propagated despite the courage and
force with which he goes everywhere in the world to confirm all in
faithfulness to Christ and to his Gospel.
i His encyclical letters are true beacons of
light, which shine down from heaven upon the intense darkness which
envelops all the world.
j - Pray for the Pope. He is living the
hour of Gethsemane and Calvary, of crucifixion and of his immolation.
The Lord looks upon him as the most precious victim, who must now be
immolated on the altar of his priestly sacrifice.
k Beloved children, remain ever with me
beneath the cross upon which my Pope, fashioned, led and so loved by
me, is as of now consummating his great offering of love and sorrow.
l It is precisely through the sacrifice of
this, the first of my beloved sons, that divine justice will be
espoused to a great mercy After the time of the trial, which will be
one of purification for all the earth, there will spring up upon the
world the new era foretold and announced by him; and thus, in these
final times, he invites you all to cross the bright thresholds of
hope."

Solemnity of Pentecost
Tongues of Fire
a "Gathered together in an extraordinary
cenacle of prayer made with me, beloved children, you are celebrating
today the solemnity of Pentecost.
b I found myself gathered together with the
Apostles and disciples, in the Cenacle of Jerusalem, when the miracle
of the descent of the Holy Spirit took place, under the form of
tongues of fire. And I saw with joy the miracle of their complete
transformation. Timid and fearful as they had been, they came forth
from the Cenacle courageous and intrepid witnesses of Jesus and of
his Gospel.
c In the spiritual cenacle of my Immaculate Heart,
the miraculous event of the second Pentecost must now be
accomplished, implored and expected by you. Again there will descend
upon the Church and upon all humanity miraculous tongues of fire.
d – Tongues of divine fire will bring
heat and life to a humanity which has now become cold from egoism and
hatred, from violence and wars. Thus the parched earth will be opened
to the breath of the Spirit of God, which will transform it into a
new and wondrous garden in which the Most Holy Trinity will make its
permanent dwelling place among you.
e - Tongues of fire will come down to
enlighten and sanctify the Church, which is living through the dark
hour of Calvary and being stricken in her pastors, wounded in the
flock, abandoned and betrayed by her own, exposed to the impetuous
wind of errors, pervaded with the loss of faith and with apostasy.
f The divine fire of the Holy Spirit will heal her
of every malady, will purify her of every stain and every infidelity,
will clothe her again in new beauty, will cover her with his
splendor, in such a way that she may be able to find again all her
unity and holiness, and will thus give to the world her full,
universal and perfect witness to Jesus.
g - Tongues of fire will come down upon you
all, my poor children, so ensnared and seduced by Satan and by all
the evil spirits who, during these years, have attained their
greatest triumph. And thus, you will be illuminated by this divine
light, and you will see your own selves in the mirror of the truth
and the holiness of God. It will be like a judgment in miniature,
which will open the door of your heart to receive the great gift of
divine mercy.
h And then the Holy Spirit will work the new
miracle of universal transformation in the heart and the life of all:
sinners will be converted; the weak will find support; the sick will
receive healing; those far away will return to the house of the
Father; those separated and divided will attain full unity.
i In this way, the miracle of the second Pentecost
will take place. It will come with the triumph of my Immaculate Heart
in the world.
j Only then will you see how the tongues of
fire of the Spirit of Love will renew the whole world, which will
become completely transformed by the greatest manifestation of divine
mercy.
k And so, I invite you to spend this day in
the cenacle, gathered together in prayer with me, Mother of Mercy, in
the hope and the trembling expectation of the second Pentecost, now
close at hand."

Valdragone (San Marino); June 28, 1995
Spiritual Exercises in the Form of a Cenacle
with 20 Bishops and 300 Priests of the M.M.P from Europe, America,
Africa, Asia and Oceania
For the Salvation of the World
a "During these days, my Immaculate Heart is
being consoled and glorified by you, bishops and priests of my
Movement who, never before as in this year, have come in such great
numbers from every part of the world, to live with me a week of
continuous cenacle, united in prayer and fraternity.
b I unite myself with your prayer. In these
times of yours, the prayer of my priests is necessary to me for
the salvation of the world. I am building up among you a greater
and deeper spirit of brotherhood. As Mother, I call you to meet with
each other; I help you to get to know one another; I urge you to love
one another.
c My Heart rejoices in seeing you grow in your
mutual love, so that you become more and more one heart and one
single soul. It is thus that I am able to realize in each one of you
the plan for the triumph of my Immaculate Heart, for the salvation
of the world.
d - For the salvation of the world, I am
making you precious instruments of divine mercy.
e See into what an abyss of misery and despair
this humanity has fallen, this humanity which has withdrawn itself
completely from God. Now of itself it can no longer find relief
without a great act of mercy bringing it to salvation. May the
merciful Lord be able to work through you, bishops and priests, who
are the sons of my motherly predilection.
f See with my motherly eyes all the sorrows, the
sins, the acts of rebellion, and the perversions of this humanity,
which bears the weight of the great tribulation through which you are
living. And let tears of sorrow and profound compassion fall from
your eyes too.
g With my hands, help all to return along the road
of repentance and conversion: carry in your arms the little ones, the
poor, the weak; give courage and strength to the youth; urge divided
families to reconciliation; comfort those who are suffering; let no
one be forgotten or abandoned by you.
h Walk with the feet of your heavenly Mother to
seek out those who are farthest away, to help those who are
marginalized and abandoned, to give hope to the despairing and
oppressed, to pour balm on the deep wounds of the stricken, to
collect the blood shed by the innumerable victims of hatred, of
fratricidal violence and of wars.
i Love all with the beating of my Immaculate
Heart, and then you will become the instruments of the triumph of
divine mercy and of the triumph of my motherly Heart.
j - For the salvation of the world, I want
to make of you the new heart of the new Church, which will be
consoled by you, in these days when she is living through the hour of
her agony and becoming more and more abandoned, betrayed, scourged
and crucified by many of her children.
k Be, in the Church, my very presence,
impassioned and faithful. Love with my Heart your holy Mother, the
Church, who is suffering and carrying such a great and heavy cross on
her shoulders.
l Be a strong support to the Pope, who is
living through the hour of his immolation. Support your bishops with
prayer and with your docility. Give every help to your
brother-priests, who are succumbing under the weight of great
difficulties and from the subtle snares of my Adversary.
m Judge no one. Love all with the tenderness of my
motherly Heart, and thus you will form the new heart of the new
Church, which will be born with the triumph of my Immaculate Heart.
n If you saw the splendor of holiness and the
fullness of unity of the Church, after this period of great
tribulation, you too, with me, would jump for joy! Because then all
the nations will walk toward her, who will have become once again a
light of truth and grace, of unity and holiness, for the salvation
of the world.
o Beloved sons, during these days I have poured
out great graces upon each one of you. Truly I have obtained in
abundance the gifts of the Holy Spirit, who has worked in you a
transformation of heart and of life. You will soon come to understand
how important these days have been for you. For now, I give you the
grace of living in the Heart of the Most Holy Trinity, where your
heavenly Mother has her habitual dwelling place.
p - For the salvation of the world, be
everywhere the faithful ministers of the merciful love of Jesus, and
allow yourselves to be ever led by me, who am the Mother of Mercy,
because only in the triumph of divine mercy can the triumph of my
Immaculate Heart become realized in the world.
q Leave this cenacle in joy and peace, and go
forth to bring everywhere the comfort of my motherly presence among
you. With your dear ones, and with those who are entrusted to your
ministry, I bless you all in the name of the Father, and of the Son,
and of the Holy Spirit."

Sant'Omero (Teramo, Italy); August 5, 1995
Feast of Our Lady of the Snows First Saturday
White Flakes of Snow
a "Follow me, beloved children, along the
road which I have marked out for you through my messages, if you wish
to live always and perfectly the consecration to my Immaculate Heart,
which you have made to me.
b - On the road of my messages, learn to
abandon yourselves to me as little children and to let yourselves be
guided with the simplicity, the confidence and the complete
abandonment of children. This abandonment of yours is necessary to
me, so that I can act in you and in your life.
c My motherly task is to transform you each day,
so that you may accomplish perfectly the Will of the Lord. Thus I
assist you to set yourselves free from sin, in order to walk along
the way of divine grace, of love, of purity and of holiness. In the
great desert in which you are living, in the immense sea of impurity
which submerging this world possessed by the Evil One, white
flakes of snow are falling from my Immaculate Heart upon you,
children consecrated to me, so that you may spread everywhere my
fragrance from heaven and become signs and instruments of divine
mercy in the world.
d On the road of my messages, you are being formed
to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus with courage and zeal. How much my
motherly Heart suffers because, in the face of a flood of errors and
heresies, of scandals and bad examples, a heavy silence is
maintained, charged with indifference and compromise, on the part of
those who have the duty to speak.
e Never as in your days have so many pastors
become `mute dogs,' who do not defend the flock entrusted to them
from being menaced, seduced and devoured by many rapacious wolves. It
is because of this that the Gospel of my Son Jesus is being lacerated
and torn to shreds in all its parts.
f So then, my motherly task is that of leading you
to believe in the Gospel, to let yourselves be guided solely by the
wisdom of the Gospel, and to live the Gospel to the letter. For this,
I am guiding you, with gentleness and motherly firmness, by means of
my messages.
g Thus, in the great apostasy which is spreading
everywhere, white flakes of snow are coming down from my
Immaculate Heart upon you, children consecrated to me, so that you
may bring everywhere the light of the divine word and become
instruments which make shine everywhere, in its greatest splendor,
all the truth contained in the Gospel of my Son Jesus.
h - Along the road of my messages, I am bringing
you to the understanding of that which is written in the Book which
is yet sealed. Many pages of what is contained in the Apocalypse of
Saint John have been already explained to you by me. Above all, I
have pointed out to you the great battle which is taking place
between the Woman Clothed with the Sun and the Red Dragon, assisted
by the Black Beast, namely Masonry.
i I have also revealed to you the subtle and
diabolical snares set for you by Masonry, which has entered into the
interior of the Church and has established the center of its power
there where Jesus has established the center and the foundation of
her unity. Do not be disturbed, because this forms part of the
mystery of iniquity, which the Church has known from her very birth.
In fact, Satan - who drove Judas, one of the twelve, to become the
traitor - has entered even into the Apostolic College.
j In these times of yours, the mystery of iniquity
is on the point of manifesting itself in all its terrible power.
k And so, at the present moment of the
great tribulation, which has come for the Church and for humanity,
white flakes of snow are coming down from my Immaculate Heart
upon you, children consecrated to me, so that you may bring to all my
motherly voice which leads you to hope and confidence.
l Thus you can take by the hand many of my poor
children, stricken and oppressed by the impetuous wind of the great
tribulation, and cross together the bright thresholds of hope in the
joyous expectation that there fall on the world, with the triumph of
my Immaculate Heart, the white snowflakes of divine mercy.”

Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed
Virgin Mary into Heaven
A Sign of Sure Hope
a "Look today at your heavenly Mother,
assumed to the glory of paradise, even with her body. Unite
yourselves to the joy of all the angelic cohorts, of the saints, and
of the souls who are still being purified in purgatory.
b Share also in the joy of the Church,
pilgrim in the desert of the world and of history, which contemplates
your heavenly Mother as a sign of consolation and sure hope.
c - I am a sign of sure hope for the
Church, as she walks toward her perfect glorification, which she will
know at the moment when Jesus Christ returns to you in glory.
d In these last times of the great
tribulation, in the conclusive hour of the second Advent through
which you are living, what great hope is opened up in the life of the
Church by the assurance of having always been assisted and protected
by me with the beating of my motherly and merciful Heart! Thus my
presence close to the Church is a comfort to her suffering, a
consolation to her weariness, strength to her proclamation, support
to her faith, aid to her journey toward holiness.
e - I am a sign of sure hope for humanity
today, so possessed by the Evil One, so threatened in its very life,
so lacerated by egoism and hatred, by fratricidal struggles and wars.
As Mother, I help all humanity to return to its Lord, along the way
of repentance and prayer, of conversion, and of a change of heart and
life.
f And thus, I am preparing for it new days of
peace and not affliction, of serenity and joy. Above all, in these
last times, I am making myself present in a powerful way to prepare
humanity to receive Jesus who is about to return in glory to bring
about its total and perfect transformation.
g - I am a sign of sure hope for all of
you, my poor children, who are carrying the weight of many sufferings
and great sorrows. These sufferings must now increase for all, and
the pains will increase more and more, because you are living through
these last times of the great tribulation.
h Look today to your heavenly Mother, assumed into
the glory of paradise, if you wish to cross the thresholds of hope.
From my Immaculate Heart, I let fall the dew of divine mercy, a
gentle balm which is placed on the open and bleeding wounds of all my
children.
i - I am a sign of sure hope for you
sinners and you who are far away, for you the sick and discouraged,
for you the oppressed and persecuted, for you the stricken and
crushed, for you who are smitten by violence and hatred, for you who
are trampled underfoot and slaughtered by fratricidal struggles and
wars.
j At the conclusive moment of the great trial, you
will feel my motherly presence, which assists you to cross the
threshold of hope, in order to enter into the new era of peace, which
will come for the Church, for humanity and for all of you, with the
triumph of my Immaculate Heart in the world."

Sale (Alessandria, Italy); September 8, 1995
Feast of the Nativity ,of the Blessed Virgin
Mary
Light, Love and Motherly Tenderness
a "Look today at your infant Mother. Exulting
about my crib are the angels and saints of paradise, the souls who
are being purified in purgatory, and the pilgrim Church which, in the
desert of the world, is living out its painful pilgrimage toward the
heavenly homeland.
b Today I want you all, my beloved ones and
children consecrated to me, about the crib where I am being placed
after my birth.
c - I want to look at you with these eyes of
mine, which have just opened to the light. You are called to be
the pupils of my eyes; you are destined to carry my light to the ends
of the earth. The light which I give you is that of my Son Jesus.
Bring everywhere the light of his word, to rout the great darkness of
error, which has spread through the world. Bring the light of his
life to overcome the coldness of sin and evil, which has made the
hearts of many of my children hard and dry. Bring the light of his
presence among you, so that the heavenly dew of divine mercy may
descend in every part of the earth.
d - I want to love you with this Heart of mine,
which has hardly begun to give its first beats, destined now
never to cease. You are called to be the greatest love of my
Immaculate Heart; you are destined to bring my love to every part of
the world. The love which I give you is that of my Son Jesus. Bring
everywhere the throbbing of his ardent and divine compassion; burn
away with the fire of love every human misery, all egoism, all
violence, all hatred, all division, all sin.
e As of this day, there begins, still
hidden but certain, the conclusive victory of Love, because this life
has been given to me that I may become the Mother of Life and give
the Eternal Word of the Father his human nature, with which He will
carry out the work of redemption, thus setting all humanity free from
the Evil One and from sin.
f Bring, then, everywhere the fire of his divine
love, because, with the triumph of my Immaculate Heart, the new
civilization of love will begin.
g – I want to caress you with these hands of
mine, which have the task of gathering together all my children.
You are called to feel my caresses; you are destined to bring
everywhere the comfort of my motherly tenderness.
h For this, I am leading you into the house of the
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, so that you may be transformed by his
divine tenderness. Let your hearts become sensitive and open, humble
and meek, tender and compassionate.
i Then your priestly tenderness will descend upon
every wound: it will be food to the hungry, drink to the thirsty,
pardon to sinners, help to the needy, health to the sick, support to
the tottering, a guide to the uncertain, comfort to the oppressed,
salvation for all.
j Only in this way can you hasten the triumph of
my Immaculate Heart. Only if you spread everywhere the light, the
love and the motherly tenderness of this, your infant Mother, can you
become the precious instruments of the triumph of divine mercy upon
the world."

Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross
Eve of my Journey throughout Brazil
Jesus Crucified Is Your Salvation
a "Once again, you are on the eve of a long
and wearisome journey, in order to hold cenacles of my Movement in a
good sixty dioceses throughout all Brazil, this land so powerfully
ensnared by my Adversary, but especially loved and protected by your
heavenly Mother. Offer me your prayer and suffering, your labor and
your weariness, your littleness and your poverty, your trust and your
filial abandonment.
b This time you will feel more the weight of the
cross which the Heavenly Father has prepared for you, but you will
see, in an even greater way, the triumph of my Immaculate Heart in
the hearts and souls of many of my children.
c You are beginning this journey of yours on the
feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross.
It is the Cross of Jesus, the sign of my sure victory.
It is only Jesus Crucified who must today be preached and exalted by you in every part of the world. Jesus Crucified is your Redeemer and Savior.
Jesus Crucified is your God, lifted up on the gibbet for your salvation.
Jesus Crucified, above all in your times, is foolishness for the wise and a scandal for the learned and proud, but it is in Him alone that your salvation resides.
It is the Cross of Jesus, the sign of my sure victory.
It is only Jesus Crucified who must today be preached and exalted by you in every part of the world. Jesus Crucified is your Redeemer and Savior.
Jesus Crucified is your God, lifted up on the gibbet for your salvation.
Jesus Crucified, above all in your times, is foolishness for the wise and a scandal for the learned and proud, but it is in Him alone that your salvation resides.
d -Jesus Crucified is the salvation for
this humanity, which has wandered so far away from God, has built a
civilization without Him and has given itself a moral law opposed to
the holy Law of the Lord. For this reason, it is carrying the weight
of immense sufferings and walking in the deep darkness of hatred and
division, of violence and wars. And Jesus is immolating Himself on
the Cross for its salvation.
e It is necessary that the Cross of Christ
be planted in the heart of this humanity, so that it may thus
rediscover the way of its conversion and of its return to the Lord.
f Then will the dew of divine mercy descend to
renew the desert in which it finds itself. Then will there blossom
the new garden of the full reconciliation of all humanity with its
Lord, who has created, redeemed and saved it.
g - Jesus Crucified is the salvation for
the Church, his Mystical Body, which is now living the very events of
his passion and his immolation. It is in his Church that Jesus renews
the Sacrifice of redemption, communicates the gift of his grace and
takes away, through his pardon, all the sin and the evil of the
world. It is in his crucified Church that Jesus becomes salvation for
the humanity of these last times of the purification and the great
tribulation. For this, you will be called more and more to suffer, to
climb with Jesus the Calvary of your priestly immolation, for the
life of the world.
h - Jesus Crucified is salvation for you all,
my children, exposed to such great dangers of being lost. His
Sacrifice, which is renewed at every moment, from the rising to the
setting of the sun, ever gives to the Father a just reparation,
causes the dew of his divine grace to come down everywhere,
communicates in his Spirit the fire of love, and renews the hearts
and souls of all.
i Jesus Crucified becomes, above all in these
final times, a sign of hope and of certain victory. His bright Cross,
which will stretch itself out in the heavens from the east to the
west, will indicate to you all the return of Jesus in glory. And so
today I invite you to look to the Cross, where Jesus is being raised
up to draw all people to Himself
j My little child, go without fear on this new
journey of yours. The angels of light of my Heart, at my orders, will
arrange everything for you. As for you, walk once again along all the
roads of the world to bring to all the announcement of the triumph of
my Immaculate Heart.”

Ever Farther
a "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.
b See how, from every part of the world, my
children are responding to me with a yes. They are the
littlest, the poorest, the humble, the simple. Their response fills
my Heart with joy. The wounds of my sorrow are closing, and the
thorns are being transformed into fragrant and precious flowers. My
tears are being changed into a smile.
c Even in this so vast state of Amazonia, you have
been able to see the triumph of my Immaculate Heart in the world.
This is now taking place everywhere, and you, my little child, are
the instrument chosen by me for such a great mission.
d For this, carried in my arms and led by me, you
must go ever farther.
e - Ever farther, as regards the place,
because you must reach even the most remote and scattered parts of
the earth, wherever there are hearts of my little children which beat
with love for me. And you must gather up these precious heartbeats
and place them in the bright garden of my Immaculate Heart.
f – Ever farther in extent, where you
find, all united in one single and great family, my children who are
rejoicing in paradise, being purified in purgatory, or who are still
suffering and struggling in the arid desert of this world.
g You are being called to contemplate this
stupendous reality which forms, in one profound unity, the great
family of the Church, fashioned in the Heart of the Most Holy Trinity
and whose true Mother and Queen I have been constituted.
h - Ever farther in time, because your
mission is to unite, in my Immaculate Heart, the hours of suffering
to those of joy; the hours of the great tribulation to those of the
new heavens and the new earth; the painful hours of the trial to
those of my motherly triumph.
i For this reason, continue on your way with
serenity because, carried and led by me, you must go ever farther.
j Pay no regard to your weakness and poverty, to
your great fragility, to the weariness and exhaustion which take hold
of you. Look on the other hand at the joy which, through you, the
heavenly Mother brings into hearts, to the grace which fills souls,
to the life which flourishes anew, to the triumph of my Immaculate
Heart which becomes greater each day.
k Love and bless all those whom you meet
along a journey which now, in place, in extent and in time, brings
you ever farther."

Feast of the Holy Archangels
The Times Will Be Shortened
a "My plan is now being accomplished
everywhere. My little son, you see how the triumph of my Immaculate
Heart is taking place in the world.
b What is happening here is a sign for you.
By the tens of thousands, my children are responding to me with such
a love and great enthusiasm that it moves my motherly Heart. Because
of the response that I am receiving everywhere from these little
children of mine, I am intervening in order to shorten the times of
the great trial which is so painful for you.
c The times will be shortened, because I am
Mother of Mercy, and each day I offer, at the throne of divine
Justice, my prayer united to that of the children who are responding
to me with a yes and consecrating themselves to my Immaculate
Heart.
d I unite the sorrows of my Heart with all
the sufferings of the good people, who are carrying with patience the
cross of these times of the great tribulation.
e The sufferings of the poor and the
exploited, of the little ones and the marginalized, of the sinners
and those far away, of the sick and the desperate, of the abandoned
and the oppressed are gathered together in the garden of my motherly
suffering and offered to the divine justice as a sign of reparation
and perennial intercession.
f The times will be shortened, because I am
your Mother, and I want to help you, with my presence, to carry the
cross of the painful events through which you are living.
g How many times have I already intervened in
order to set back further and further in time the beginning of the
great trial, for the purification of this poor humanity, now
possessed and dominated by the spirits of evil.
h The times will be shortened, because the
great struggle which is being waged between God and his Adversary is
above all at the level of spirits and is taking place above you. This
terrible battle is taking place between the heavenly spirits and the
infernal spirits, between the angels of the Lord and the demons,
between the powers of heaven and the powers of hell.
i In this great struggle, a special task has been
entrusted to the Archangel Gabriel, who clothes you in the very
strength of God; to the Archangel Raphael, who pours a healing balm
on each of your wounds; and to the Archangel Michael, who leads all
the angelic cohorts to the complete victory over the infernal
cohorts.
j For this reason, I entrust you to the powerful
protection of these archangels and of your guardian angels, so that
you may be guided and defended in the struggle which is now being
waged between heaven and earth, between paradise and hell, between
Saint Michael the Archangel and Lucifer himself, who will appear very
soon with all the power of the Antichrist.
k Thus you are being prepared for the great
prodigy which will take place when, with the triumph of my Immaculate
Heart, the heavenly dew of divine mercy will descend upon the world."

First Saturday
My Victory
a "I am the Queen of the Holy Rosary. I am
the Queen of Victories. The task which has been entrusted to me by
the Most Holy Trinity is that of directing the battle and leading to
victory the cohort of the children of God who are fighting against
the powerful army of the slaves of Satan and of the spirits of evil.
b I will put enmity between you and
the woman, between your offspring and her offspring; she will crush
your head, and you will lie in wait for her heel.' (Gen 3:15)
c Each day I am carrying forward this struggle and
attaining my victory.
d - My victory takes place in the hearts of
all my children who consecrate themselves to my Immaculate Heart and
allow themselves to be formed and led by me as little children. I
open up these hearts to the purity of love, and in this way I am able
to achieve the victory over every form of egoism, of hatred and of
violence, and to spread everywhere the sweet perfume of divine
charity.
e - My victory is being achieved in the
souls who are being assisted by me in fighting against and in
conquering every form of sin. The souls of my children, enlightened
by grace and in possession of divine life, sing with me the perennial
Magnificat of perfect glory to the Most Holy Trinity.
f - My victory is being accomplished in the
Church, which I enlighten with my faith, assist with my presence and
comfort with my motherly tenderness. I myself am leading her by the
hand, in this time of the purification, toward her greatest splendor
which will reclothe her, making of her the greatest light for all the
nations of the earth.
g - My victory takes place each day over this poor
humanity, which is so sick and far from God and which has wanted to
build a new civilization without Him. I am opening up new roads for
its return to the Lord, who awaits it with the love of a Father. I am
calling my little children to become instruments of salvation for
all, and thus, in silence and hiddenness, I am preparing each day and
spreading among you the reign of God.
h My complete victory will come about with the
triumph of my Immaculate Heart in the world. Then the miracle of
divine mercy, in the power of the Holy Spirit, will renew the face of
the earth, and it will again become a fragrant and precious garden in
which the Most Holy Trinity will be pleased to be reflected and will
receive from the whole created universe its greatest glory."

Feast of Our Lady of Aparecida, Patroness of
Brazil
I Am Glorified
a "My little son, you find yourself again in
this place where I am so loved and venerated, in order to hold
wonderful cenacles with thousands of children and youth, who have
come from even the most distant community. You have also conducted
three days of spiritual exercises in the form of a continuous
cenacle, with those faithful who are the apostles of my Movement in
all of Brazil.
b Today you are celebrating, with joy and
solemnity, the feast of your heavenly Mother, as Patroness of this
great nation. You see how, here, I am glorified everywhere.
c - I am glorified by the response which I
receive everywhere from many of my children, who have accepted my
request to consecrate themselves to my Immaculate Heart. They are now
living in my Immaculate Heart and are a gentle balm which is placed
upon every wound of my great sorrow
d See how they love and glorify me. They are the
littlest, the poorest, the simplest, the ones whom the world ignores
and despises.
e Oh! Bring me more and more of these
little children of mine, because they are for me the greatest and
most precious of treasures.
f - I am glorified by the powerful
intensity of prayer which is offered to me here in these times of
aridity and great dissipation. See how the cenacles have spread
everywhere, above all among children and youth and in families.
g How many families are being saved from division
or have become reunited after years of separation, as a result of the
great spread of family cenacles.
h These are the powerful means which my Immaculate
Heart gives you to defend the Christian family from the dangers which
threaten it, such as infidelity, divisions, separations, recourse to
the means of preventing life and those cursed abortions which are
being permitted by civil laws but which cry for vengeance in the
sight of God.
i - I am glorified because, while neglect,
disregard, indifference and tepidity toward my Son Jesus truly
present in the Eucharist is spreading more and more, here the
Eucharistic Jesus receives an unending homage of love, adoration,
thanksgiving and reparation.
j The Eucharistic Jesus is solemnly exposed upon
the altar throughout the whole day, and my little children prostrate
themselves in an act of loving adoration before the throne upon which
reigns the Victim offered for your salvation.
k How, in this place, the Heart of Jesus exults
with joy, comfort, consolation and gratitude!
l - I am glorified, because in this country
my Marian Movement of Priests has spread everywhere, as in no other
part of the world.
m I bless all these children of mine, who have
come from even the most distant places to take part in the three days
of continuous cenacle. In them, I am glorified!
n I repeat to you again today that Brazil
belongs to me; it is my property. I am Mother and Queen of Brazil,
and I want to bring to this great nation, where I am so much loved,
implored and glorified, the gift of salvation and peace.
o Thus what is taking place here becomes a sign
for you which indicates to you how, in silence and hiddenness, each
day I am bringing about the triumph of my Immaculate Heart in the
greatest triumph of divine mercy upon the world.
p It will soon be completely renewed by the
powerful and extraordinary intervention of her whom you invoke as
your Queen and Mother of Mercy."

Solemnity of All Saints
Paradise Is United with Earth
a "Continue this marvelous journey of
yours, my little son, and respond to the mission which I have
entrusted to you. See everywhere the triumph of my Immaculate Heart
which I am carrying forward, now in an increasingly powerful way, in
hearts and souls.
b - Paradise is united with earth. In my
Immaculate Heart there takes place each day for you, the meeting with
your brothers and sisters who have preceded you up here and are now
enjoying the eternal happiness of the saints. In the light of the
Most Holy Trinity, they contemplate my plan, and the vision of the
full triumph of Christ, who will at last form new heavens and a new
earth, causes their joy to increase.
c - Paradise is united with earth in a
great communion of prayer, which ascends from all my children, that
Jesus might hasten his return in glory and all the world be
transformed into that wonderful garden of grace and holiness, where
the Most Holy Trinity may once again be pleased to be reflected.
d - Paradise is united with earth in
forming one single cohort, whose heavenly Leader I am, to wage the
most important part of the battle against Satan and all the forces of
evil and to achieve my greatest victory.
e - Paradise is united with earth, now that
you are living through the conclusive period of the purification and
the great tribulation. Thus the saints of heaven are casting light on
your lives, are coming to your assistance with their powerful aid,
are defending you against the subtle snares of my Adversary, are
leading you by the hand along the road of holiness, in the trembling
expectation of associating you also one day in their eternal
happiness.
f For this reason, I invite you today to live the
joyous experience of the communion of saints. In this way, you
receive strength and courage to overcome the moments of the trial;
and, from paradise, the painful road, along which all must journey to
cross the bright threshold of hope, becomes brightened up for you.
g - Paradise is united
with earth in the heavenly garden of my Immaculate Heart because,
with its triumph, there will descend from heaven the dew of divine
mercy, which will bring all the world to a new life."

Spiritual Exercises in the Form of a Cenacle
with the Bishops and Priests of the M.M.P. from all Brazil
Spread My Light
a "The sorrow of my Heart is assuaged
by you, and my tears are changed into a smile in seeing you gathered
here in a continuous cenacle of prayer and fraternity, bishops and
priests of my Movement, who have come from every part of Brazil.
b I am always with you. I unite myself with –
and give power to – you prayer. I help you to walk together in
mutual love, until you become one single heart and one single soul.
c I obtain for you the gift of the Holy Spirit,
who descends upon this, your cenacle, as He descended upon the
Cenacle of Jerusalem. It is the Holy Spirit who transforms you, who
changes your heart and gives wisdom to your mind, so that you may be
today a light burning on a mountaintop in these times of great
darkness.
d - Spread my light in the deep darkness
which has submerged the world. It is the darkness of the denial of
God; it is the darkness of the false ideologies, of materialism, of
hedonism and of impurity. See how the world has again become pagan
and lives under the yoke of a great slavery.
e In your great nation, so ensnared by my
Adversary but so loved and protected by your heavenly Mother, how the
sects, which draw so many of my children away from the true Church,
are spreading more and more!
f - Spread my light, by preaching the
Gospel of Jesus with force and fidelity. His divine word must be
proclaimed by you with the same clarity and simplicity with which
Jesus has announced it to you. If you are faithful ministers of the
Gospel, set up the strongest possible defense against the continual
propagation of the sects and every form of spiritism and
superstition.
g - Spread my light with your full priestly
unity. One deep wound which causes my Church in Brazil to suffer is
caused by bishops and priests who are no longer united with the Pope.
They ignore and refuse to accept his Magisterium, and thus errors are
spread, are frequently taught, and many of my children are running
the danger of separating themselves from the true faith.
h You must be examples to all of strong unity with
the Pope. Love him; listen to him; help him to carry his great cross
toward the Calvary of his immolation.
i Help your bishops with prayer, with your
priestly zeal, and be a comfort to them in their difficult and
painful ministry. Let your hearts be open in giving assistance to all
your brother-priests, especially toward those who are succumbing
under the weight of the great tribulation through which you are
living.
j Judge no one. Love all with the beating of my
Immaculate Heart.
k - Spread my light, dispensing about you
the balm of my motherly tenderness. Go out to meet, above all, the
little, the poor, the sinners, those far away, the stricken, the
innumerable victims of every injustice and every act of violence, and
bring them all into the safe refuge of my Immaculate Heart.
l In this way you become the apostles of
the second evangelization, so much asked for by my Pope, and the
precious instruments of my motherly triumph.
m I express to you now my gratitude for the very
generous response which I have received, in answer to my request that
you be consecrated to my Immaculate Heart and to spread the cenacles
among priests, children, youth and above all in families.
n How much have I been loved, sought out in
prayer, consoled and glorified by you, during these months in which
this little son of mine has gone to every part of this great nation
of yours!
o I confirm to you once again that Brazil belongs
to me; it is my property. Especially in the painful moments which are
awaiting you, you will see the light of my Immaculate Heart
surrounding your Church and your fatherland, and you will feel, in an
extraordinary way, my motherly presence among you.
p Go out from this cenacle in peace and joy. I am
always with you. Spread my light everywhere so that the dew of
divine mercy may reach all, and walk with confidence and a great hope
toward the new times which are so very close.
q With your dear ones and with all those who are
entrusted to your priestly ministry, I bless you in the name of the
Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit."

Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception
My Plan
"My little son, today you find yourself in
the Canary Islands, to carry out many cenacles with priests and
faithful of my Movement, and you are celebrating, with joy and
exultation, the solemnity of my Immaculate Conception. Even here, you
see the Marian Movement of Priests spread everywhere, and you see how
my little children from all sides are responding to me with a yes.
b My beloved ones and children consecrated to me,
on this day look with confidence and immense trust at your immaculate
Mother!
c I have been conceived without original sin, and
thus I have been able to realize in my life, in a perfect way, the
plan of the Most Holy Trinity and to respond to the task which It
entrusted to me on my becoming the Mother of the Incarnate Word.
d My plan is that of leading in battle the
cohort of the sons of God to fight and overcome the snares of those
who have put themselves at the service of Satan and who are battling
to spread in the world the reign of evil, error, sin, hatred and
impurity.
e My plan is to lead all creation back to
its primal splendor, in inch a way that the Heavenly Father may again
be pleased to be reflected in it and to receive his greatest glory
from all creation.
f My plan is to lead all my children along
the road of perfect imitation of Jesus, in such a way that He may
live again in them and contemplate with joy the copious fruits which
are born from his great gift of redemption.
g My plan is to prepare hearts and souls to
receive the Holy Spirit, who will pour Himself out in fullness to
bring upon the world the second Pentecost of fire and of love.
h My plan is to point out to all my
children the way of faith and of hope, of love and of purity, of
goodness and of holiness. Thus in the garden of my Immaculate Heart,
I am preparing the little remnant who, in the midst of the
tempestuous waves of the apostasy and the perversion, will remain
faithful to Christ, to the Gospel and to the Church.
i And it will be with this little flock, guarded
in the Immaculate Heart of your heavenly Mother, that Jesus will
bring about his glorious reign in the world."

The Holy Night
Merciful Love
a "Beloved sons, live with me, in
silence and in prayer, the anxious hours of the vigil.
b Walk with my most chaste spouse, Joseph,
and with your heavenly Mother on the long road which is bringing us
from Nazareth to Bethlehem. Feel, you too, the fatigue of the
journey, the weariness which takes hold of us, the assurance which
leads us on, the prayer which accompanies each step, as a heavenly
blessedness fills our hearts, now united in perfect communion with
the Heart of the Heavenly Father which is about to open itself in the
gift of his only-begotten Son.
c The noise of the crowded caravan does not
disturb us, nor does discouragement take hold of us before all the
doors which are closed on our request to be taken in.
d The compassionate hand of a shepherd
points out to us a poor cave, which opens itself to the most sublime
and divine prodigy. The only-begotten Son of the Father is about to
be born to his human life. There is about to descend to the world
that Merciful Love who becomes man in the Son born of me, his
Virgin Mother. After long centuries of expectation and of prayerful
supplication, your Savior and Redeemer at last comes to you.
e This is the holy night.
This is the dawn which arises upon the new day of your salvation.
This is the light which shines forth in the deep darkness of all history.
This is the dawn which arises upon the new day of your salvation.
This is the light which shines forth in the deep darkness of all history.
f My spouse Joseph seeks to make the frigid cave
more hospitable and sets about transforming a poor manger into a
crib.
g I am absorbed in an intense prayer and enter
into ecstasy with the Heavenly Father, who surrounds me with his
light and his love, and fills me with his fullness of life and
blessedness, while paradise, with all its angelic cohorts, prostrates
itself in an act of profound adoration. When I emerge from this
ecstasy, I find in my arms the divine Child, miraculously born of me,
his Virgin Mother.
h I press Him to my Heart, cover Him with
tender kisses, warm Him with my motherly love, wrap Him in clean
linens and place Him in the manger, which is now ready.
i My God is completely present in this Child of
mine. The mercy of the Father is made visible in the newborn Infant
who utters his first plaintive cries.
j Divine Mercy has given his Fruit to you:
together let us prostrate ourselves and adore the Merciful Love
who has been born for us.
k - Together let us look into his eyes,
which open to bring upon the world the light of the truth and of
divine wisdom.
l -Together let us wipe away his tears,
which run down to bring compassion upon every suffering, to wash away
every stain of sin and evil, to close every wound, to bring solace to
each oppressed person, to cause the awaited dew to descend upon the
frigid desert of the world.
m - Together let us clasp his hands, which
open themselves to bring the caress of the Father upon human
miseries, to bring help to the poor and the little, support to the
weak, assurance to the discouraged, pardon to sinners, health to the
sick, and to all the gift of redemption and salvation.
n - Together let us warm his feet which will
follow the barren and insecure roads to search out the straying, to
find the lost, to give hope to the despairing, to bring liberty to
prisoners and the Good News to the poor.
o - Together let us kiss his little Heart, which
has just begun to beat with love for us.
It is the very Heart of God.
It is the Heart of the only-begotten Son of the Father, who becomes man to bring back to God a humanity redeemed and saved by Him.
It is the Heart which beats to renew the heart of every creature.
It is the new heart of the world.
It is the Merciful Love which comes down from the bosom of the Father, to bring redemption, salvation and peace to all humanity.
It is the very Heart of God.
It is the Heart of the only-begotten Son of the Father, who becomes man to bring back to God a humanity redeemed and saved by Him.

It is the Merciful Love which comes down from the bosom of the Father, to bring redemption, salvation and peace to all humanity.
p Receive Him with love, with joy and with immense
blessedness. And let there come forth from your heart the hymn of
perennial gratitude for this Child, virginally given to you by me
who, on this holy night, have become for all the Mother of Divine
Mercy."

Last Night of the Year
The Great Sign of Divine Mercy
a "Beloved sons, spend with me the
last hours of this year which is now about to end.
b See how many spend these hours in
dissipation and amusements and await the new year in a pagan
atmosphere, often in an open transgression of the holy Law of the
Lord!
c As for you, spend these hours with me, in prayer
and in silence, in meditation on my word and with a great confidence
in your Heavenly Father.
d It is Providence that prepares for you
each new day and each new year, thus rhythmically arranging in the
sequence of time what the Father arranges for the good of all his
children. It is the Father who arranges for you new days of peace and
not of affliction, of pardon and not of condemnation, so that the
miracle of his divine mercy may shine forth upon the world.
e Together let us read, on this night, the
signs of his merciful love which the Father gives us.
f I am the great sign of divine mercy.
g - For this, I am manifesting myself, in so
powerful and extraordinary a way, through my apparitions, my numerous
weepings, and the messages which I give to the heart of this little
son of mine, whom I myself am leading along all the roads of the
world, in search of sinners, of the sick, of those who have fallen,
of the straying, of the despairing, of those who are succumbing to
the seductions of sin and of evil.
h - For this, I invite all to consecrate
themselves to my Immaculate Heart, and I am extending this, my
request, to the most extreme limits of the earth through my Marian
Movement of Priests. In this way, I am offering you a safe refuge,
which the Most Holy Trinity has prepared for you, for these stormy
times of the great tribulation and of the painful trial which has
come for the Church and for all humanity.
i - For this, I am renewing my pressing request to
return to the Lord, who awaits you with the love of a Father, on the
road of conversion and of a change of heart and of life. Distance
yourselves from sin and evil, from violence and hatred, from the cult
which is increasingly being offered to Satan and to the idols of
pleasure and money, of pride and arrogance, of amusement and
impurity.
j And walk along the renewed ways of love and
goodness, of communion and prayer, of purity and holiness. In this
way, you yourselves must become signs of divine mercy for a humanity
swept away by the tempest of indescribable suffering, at the time
when the great tribulation is on the point of reaching its apex.
k -This is why I am calling you each day to
follow me. I am the Mother of Fair Love and of Holy Hope. I am the
Queen of Peace and the dawn which announces the new time which awaits
you and which is drawing ever closer.
l Multiply everywhere the cenacles of
prayer which I have asked of you. Above all, spread the family
cenacles which I am requesting as a means of saving the Christian
family from the great dangers which threaten it. I am the Mother of
Life. I am the Queen of the Family.
m Priests, my beloved sons, respond to my
request to consecrate yourselves to my Immaculate Heart, because I am
your understanding and merciful Mother.
n Mine is the task of washing you from
every stain, of consoling you in every sorrow, of bringing trust to
you in your great discouragement, and strong hope to you in your
loneliness. I assist you to be in the world without being of the
world, because I desire that all of you belong solely and always to
my Son Jesus.
o Above all for you, my priest-sons, I am today
the great sign of divine mercy.
p As this year comes to an end, I bless you all in
the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit."
