First Saturday
Open Your Hearts to Hope
a "Beloved children, you are beginning this
new year with the liturgical solemnity of my divine motherhood. I am
true Mother of God. From eternity, the Heavenly Father has chosen me
for this ineffable mission.
b `Sacrifices and offerings You willed not, O God,
but a body You have prepared for me, (cf. Heb 10:5)
c In order to form a body for the Son, in his
eternal plan of wisdom, the Father also prepared a body for the
Mother. Thus from eternity I have come forth from his divine thought.
d From all eternity, the Word contemplated me at
the moment when, through my maternal assent, He was to descend into
my virginal womb, even to becoming man. And thus my God was to become
my Son.
e From eternity, the Holy Spirit contemplated the
divine prodigy of his love, which was to miraculously make my
virginal womb fruitful, making me Mother without any human
intervention. Thus the Holy Spirit was to become my divine Spouse.
f Contemplate me today in the light of my divine
motherhood, my beloved children, and open your hearts to hope.
g - Open your hearts to hope, because these
are the years when the greatest triumph of God, with the return of
Jesus Christ in glory, is in preparation.
h My divine motherhood is exercised today in
preparing the way for his glorious return. As I was the humble and
poor Mother of his first coming, so too am I the glorious and
powerful Mother of his second coming among you.
i Mine is the task of opening the door of the new
era, which is awaiting you. Mine is the task of leading you towards
the new heavens and the new earth. Above all, the task entrusted to
the Mother of God is that of conquering Satan and every evil force,
in order that God may achieve his greatest triumph in the world.
j - Open your hearts to hope, because I am
also Mother of all humanity. And as Mother I have always followed my
children with love, throughout the course of human history.
k Above all, in these last times, I feel
that I am Mother of a humanity which is very much ensnared and
possessed by the evil spirits. Satan is triumphing today. He has led
all humanity to the rejection of God and has thus made it subject to
his evil reign.
l Because of this, how much have you had to
suffer! Because of this, tears and blood have become your daily
nourishment. Because of this, the year which is opening today will
also bring you the weight of an immense suffering.
m As Mother of humanity, there has been
entrusted to me the task of releasing you from the slavery to Satan.
Therefore, it is necessary that you now follow me in the bloody
struggle, in order to obtain in the end my greatest victory. Because,
Satan will be made powerless by me, and the great force of evil will
be completely destroyed by me.
n Then all humanity will return to a new marriage
of love with its Lord, who will take it in his arms and lead it into
the terrestrial paradise of a full and perfect communion of life with
Him.
o - Open your hearts to hope, because I am
true Mother of all the Church.
p In the course of the years, I have always been
close to this beloved Daughter of mine, with the anxious concern and
the tenderness of my motherly love. I am especially close to the
Church in these last times, when she must live through the bloody
hour of her purification and of the great tribulation.
q For her also, the plan of the Heavenly Father
must be carried out, and thus she is being called to climb the
Calvary of her immolation. This most beloved Daughter of mine will be
stricken and wounded, betrayed and despoiled, abandoned and led to
the gibbet, where she will be crucified. The man of iniquity will
enter into her interior, and he will bring to its culmination the
abomination of desolation, foretold in the Holy Scriptures.
r Do not lose courage, beloved children. Let your
trust be strong.
s At the beginning of this new year, open your
hearts to hope, because you will see the events of which I
foretold you already taking place. You will understand that the final
years of this, your century, form part of a divine and mysterious
plan, which is about be disclosed.
t Open your hearts to hope, because the
moment has come when our heavenly Mother will manifest herself in all
her power.
u I am the dawn which precedes the great day of
the Lord. I am the voice which becomes strong in these times, in
order to spread my prophetic announcement in every part of the earth:
prepare yourselves, one and all, to receive my Son Jesus, who is even
now about to return among you, on the clouds of heaven, in the
splendor of his divine glory."

Feast of the Presentation of the Child Jesus
The Gift of My Trust
a "Beloved children, let yourselves be
carried in my motherly arms into the temple of the Lord, to be
offered by me to the perfect glory of the Most Holy Trinity.
b For this I am gathering you from every part of
the world. For this I ask you to consecrate yourselves to my
Immaculate Heart. For this I am leading you each day along the road
pointed out by me, and I am forming you, for many years now, with the
gift of my motherly word.
c In you, the Father must be glorified in the
perfect fulfillment of his divine Will. In you, the Son wants to be
relived in such a way that you become the instruments of his divine
mercy. In you, the Holy Spirit is at work, with the force of his
love, in order to make you capable of transforming hearts and souls.
d Thus, in these last times, you must become light
to whomever is walking in darkness, life to whomever is under the
yoke of sin and death, love to whomever is consumed by violence and
hatred, comfort to whomever is overwhelmed by suffering, balm upon
the wounds of the poor and the sick, strength for the weakness of the
little and the oppressed.
e In this way you are able to communicate to all
the gift of my trust.
f - Be the gift of my trust for the Church,
today so suffering and divided, crushed and oppressed, a Church
which is climbing the Calvary of its painful passion.
g Never as in these times of yours has the Church
had such need of experiencing all the tenderness and merciful
compassion of its heavenly Mother. I want to exercise through you my
motherly duty toward the Church. Love the Church with the beating of
my Immaculate Heart. Wipe away its sweat; heal its wounds; soothe its
pain; share in its suffering; help it to carry its heavy cross toward
the Calvary of its immolation.
h Stay close to the Pope and to your bishops, with
prayer and with your filial love. Support your brother-priests. Above
all, run to meet the weakest, the most fragile, those who are
yielding under the weight of the great difficulties of these last
times. You must be the gentle and merciful hand of your heavenly
Mother who bends over to place balm on the wounds of the sinners, of
those who are estranged, of the poor, of those who are marginalized,
of the oppressed, and of the abandoned. In this way, you yourselves
become the gift of my trust for the Church of these, your times.
i - Be the gift of my trust for all this poor
humanity. Help it to return to God along the road of prayer and
penance. The pathway of conversion is the only way along which it
must journey in order to attain salvation and peace.
j But now you are entering into the decisive
times, times for which I have been preparing you for many years. How
many will be swept away by the terrible hurricane which has already
hurled itself upon humanity. This is the time of the great trial;
this is my time, O children consecrated to my Immaculate Heart.
k I want to manifest myself by means of you and to
give to all the gift of my trust, above all when the days of
the great desolation and of a general despair will have come.
l For this reason, I ask you to let yourselves be
carried in my motherly arms into the temple of the glory of the Lord,
in order that you may become for all a light of hope, by spreading
everywhere the gift of my trust in these, your final times."

Tegucigalpa (Honduras); February 11, 1994
Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes
I Am Consoled
a "Today you are celebrating the anniversary
of my apparition in Lourdes, to my little and poor daughter,
Bernadette.
b And you find yourself here, little child, in
this country of Central America, where I am particularly loved and
venerated by many of my children. Have you seen with what enthusiasm
they have accepted the message of your heavenly Mother, and what
filial and tender love they have for me?
c In these years when my Heart is being deeply
wounded by sins and infidelity, by pride and aridity, and by the
obstinate rejection of my motherly interventions, I am consoled by
my littlest children.
d I am consoled by the poorest, who respond
to me with the richness of their love, of their humility, of their
docility With what openness of soul and heart, they listen to my
word, accept it and live it! Truly, for these who are poor in goods
and in spirit, there is prepared the reign of God, which will very
soon come to you in all its divine splendor.
e I am consoled by the littlest, by those
who live truly as little children, whom Jesus forms and guards within
the heavenly garden of his divine love. With what tenderness I carry
them in my motherly arms, that they may be consoled by me. To them
alone do I reveal the secret of my Immaculate Heart, the light of my
design, the battle plan and the moment of my victory.
f I am consoled by the new hearts, formed
within the bright recesses of my Immaculate Heart. Against hatred
which is spreading, egoism which consumes, aridity which chills,
hardness which paralyzes the hearts of so many, become cold and
insensitive, hard and closed to the needs of the poor and destitute,
I form new hearts which know how to spread everywhere the beating of
my motherly and merciful love. These hearts know how to love God with
that love which alone glorifies Him, and to love your heavenly Mother
with that love which alone consoles her.
g I am consoled by this little country of
Honduras, which has a big heart and one filled with love for me.
Today you have been in the presidential house in order to make, with
the President of the Republic, the consecration of the Republic to my
Immaculate Heart.
h I take this country under my special
protection because, since you have done what I asked of you at
Fatima, I have been consoled by this nation in a special way."

Ilobasco (El Salvador); February 13, 1994
I Fill the Poor with Good Things
a "Here also you have seen my greatest
triumph, and you are astounded, my littlest child, because you see
how, in every part of the world, I am being received with love, with
joy and with great enthusiasm by all the little, the simple and the
poor.
b By my personal and particular
intervention, I am forming everywhere for myself this army of mine,
to fight the final part of the battle and to attain my greatest
victory. With what joy I see my little children running from all
sides into the heavenly garden of my Immaculate Heart.
c The hour has now arrived. Once again, through
the mouths of infants and babes at the breast, the Lord will overcome
the tumultuous uproar of his adversaries and reduce to nothing the
power of all his enemies.
d Therefore, as does the Lord, I too your
heavenly Mother fill the poor with good things.
e I fill the poor with the precious good of
the grace of God and of full communion of life with Him. To these I
grant the gift of humility of mind and of simplicity of heart, in
such a way that they are able to receive his divine word with love.
Today the Gospel of Jesus can be believed and lived, not by the great
and the proud, but only by the little and the poor.
f In these times of the great apostasy, the poor
in spirit obtain from your heavenly Mother the inestimable good of
remaining ever in the true faith and of following with docility the
entire truth of the Gospel.
g I fill the poor with the good of love and
of generosity. What wickedness exists today among the rich! How great
is the egoism which is spreading among those who seek only comfort
and who want to build a society founded on the greatest possession of
material goods.
h The poor have from me the great gift of being
detached from these things, of living in the entrustment of
themselves to the goodness of Divine Providence, of knowing how to
give to others part of the little they possess, of welcoming all with
the generosity of servants of the Lord.
i I fill the poor with the good of a
particular predilection on the part of the Lord. The Lord looks upon
the poor with the same satisfaction with which He surrounded me, as
his littlest and poorest handmaid. To the poor, the Holy Spirit
communicates Himself with inexhaustible abundance, because only from
the poor can the Most Holy Trinity receive its praise and its perfect
glory.
j In this country, where my Adversary has
succeeded in seducing very many of my children with the dangerous
error of liberation theology, I am forming my cohort with all my poor
and little children.
k This is the reason why I am working here
in a powerful way, to build up my triumph in hearts and in souls. It
is for this reason that here I am especially loved and glorified. It
is for this reason that I am spreading out upon this country the
fullness of my motherly assistance and of my immaculate protection.”

Bogota (Columbia); February 22, 1994
Feast of the Chair of St. Peter
Spiritual Exercises in the Form of a Cenacle
with the Priests of the M.M.P. from Latin America
On the Rock of the Apostolic Faith
a "Beloved sons, priests consecrated to my
Immaculate Heart, how happy I am to see you gathered here, in a
continuous cenacle of prayer and fraternity.
b I am present in your midst. I give strength to
your prayer. I deepen your unity. I help you to grow in mutual love,
to the point of making you one single heart and one single soul. I
obtain for you the gift of the Holy Spirit, who descends upon you to
confirm you in your priestly ministry and make you apostles of the
second evangelization.
c Let your preaching be founded on the rock of the
apostolic faith, that you may become courageous witnesses of faith,
in these times of the great apostasy. Do not become troubled when you
see that today errors are becoming openly taught, spread and
followed. Never become discouraged.
d Be faithful ministers of the Gospel of Christ,
by proclaiming all the truths of the Catholic faith, and thus you
will become lights lit upon a lamp stand, burning torches set upon
the mountain tops, to throw light upon these times of great darkness.
e Let your witness of unity and of ecclesial
communion be based on the rock of the apostolic faith. Peter has
received from Jesus the task of being the foundation of the Church
and of confirming the entire Church in the truth of the Gospel. The
Pope is the successor of Peter in this, his ministry of being the
foundation of the unity of the Church and infallible guardian of her
truth.
f Be today witnesses of love for, and of unity
with, the Pope. Bring the flock which has been entrusted to you to
this unity, so that very soon there may be but one single flock under
one single Shepherd. Love, support and assist your bishops in their
difficult and wearying ministry.
g Let your priestly holiness flourish on the rock
of the apostolic faith. Be thus faithful ministers of the sacraments
which have been entrusted to you. Above all, be assiduous in that
ministry which is so precious and so neglected today, namely that of
Reconciliation. Make the Eucharistic Jesus the center of your prayer,
the sun of your life, the love of your entire priestly life. Begin
once again to hold hours of public Eucharistic adoration, so that
Jesus may bring his reign of holiness and life into hearts and souls.
h In this way you become a soothing balm which is
placed on the open and bleeding wounds of your holy Mother, the
Church. She will thus be made aware, by means of you, of my motherly
comfort and will be assisted in continuing along the painful way of
these last times, so that she may give her perfect witness to Jesus.
i My light will shine forth more and more
throughout all this great continent of Latin America, which loves me
so very much and which enjoys a special protection on the part of
your heavenly Mother.
With your dear ones, and with all those who have
been entrusted to your ministry, I bless you in the name of the
Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit."

Holy Thursday
Let Yourselves Be Possessed by His Love
a "Beloved sons, today I look upon you with
joy and with motherly predilection. This is your feast day. This is
your pasch.
b Gathered about the bishops, you are renewing the
promises which you made on the day of your priestly ordination. They
are the promises of your love and of your fidelity to Jesus, who has
chosen you and has called you to share in his high and eternal
Priesthood. By means of you, Jesus is still able to immolate Himself
each day for your salvation.
c Let yourselves be possessed by his love.
d How much Jesus loves you! For love of you, the
Word of the Father became incarnate in my virginal womb, submitted
Himself to the limitations of time and place, was born into his human
life, and grew up like a flower in the garden of my motherly love.
e For love of you, Jesus knew exile during his
infancy, poverty and fatigue during his adolescence, misunderstanding
and rejection during the years of his public mission.
f For love of you, He was subjected to betrayal
and outrage, to judgment and condemnation, to crucifixion and death
on the Cross. How much Jesus loves you!
g Let yourselves be possessed by his love.
h `Having loved his own who were in the
world, He loved them to the end.' (Jn 13:1) Above all, for
love of you, Jesus has instituted the new Sacrifice and the new
Priesthood. Thus, in every part of the earth, from the east to the
west, there may be presented to the Heavenly Father a pure offering,
the perfect Sacrifice which appeases his divine justice, which makes
reparation for all the sin of man, for the salvation and the life of
the world.
i And you, beloved sons, you are the priests
chosen by Him, to renew everywhere this, his Sacrifice of the new and
eternal Covenant.
j Let yourselves be possessed by his love.
k Do not look at your miseries; do not be
discouraged by your weaknesses; do not count your sins; do not go
back over your infidelities; but let yourselves be possessed by
his love, because the divine charity of the Heart of Jesus
surpasses infinitely every human ingratitude.
l In these last times, how many are those
priests who weep over their falls, who succumb under the forces of
evil which has now been unleashed, who yield to the enticements of a
world again become pagan, and who fall under the subtle snares of my
Adversary and yours.
m Beloved sons, even if there is being
repeated the action of Peter who denies, or that of Judas who
betrays, or that of the Apostles who flee and abandon Jesus, open
your hearts today to hope, because Jesus loves you. His love
overcomes your every human weakness.
n On this, your day, let joy be great and
peace profound.
o With the voice of the Mother who ever
assists you and leads you, consoles you and encourages you, I invite
you today to let yourselves be possessed by his love, so that you too
may be priests according to his divine and merciful Heart."

Good Friday
The Bright Cross
a "Draw near to the Throne of Grace to obtain
mercy on this day of the redemption. Look, with love and immense
gratitude, upon Him whom today they have pierced.
b He is the Eternal Word of the Father who has
become Man.
He is the Son of God offered for your ransom.
He is the true Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.
He is the Son of God offered for your ransom.
He is the true Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.
c He is my Son Jesus, born and brought up by me,
assisted and accompanied, contemplated with the happiness of a
mother, in the rhythm of his human growth.
d He is my Son, comforted and encouraged by me in
the face of every official rejection, followed by me and listened to
in the desert of so much unbelief, consoled by the voices of the
little ones, of the poor, the sick and the sinners.
e He is my Son, whom I meet today, as He carries
the heavy weight of his gibbet on his wounded shoulders. Live with me
the indescribable moment of this encounter.
f My motherly love is placed like a balm on each
of his wounds. The immense pain of the Son falls upon the Heart of
the Mother, pierced by his very suffering. And the Cross crushes Son
and Mother, now united in this one single offering.
g Stay with me, beloved sons, beneath the Cross,
together with your brother, John.
h There is such need for comfort. For Jesus, who
is nailed to the gibbet, raised up from the earth and who is living
through the bloody hours of his agony. And for me, his Mother,
intimately associated in his redemptive passion.
i There is such need for faith. Behold Jesus
crushed like a worm. All the sins of the world weigh upon his
immolated body. His Heart is overwhelmed by human ingratitude and by
such a profound lack of faith. `He saved others, and He cannot save
Himself. Let Him come down from the Cross if He is the Son of God,
and we will believe in Him.' (cf. Mt 27:42) With me, with John, with
the devout and faithful women, with the penitent centurion, you too
must say: `Truly, this is the Son of God!' (Mt 27:54)
j There is such need for love. On Golgotha, love
appears to be defeated. There is only hatred, bitterness, wickedness
and inhuman savagery. Darkness descends and obscures the world. Love
is all gathered together in Christ Crucified, who prays, pardons,
bows to the Will of the Father and docilely abandons Himself to Him.
Love descends from Him upon the Mother, called to open her Heart to a
new and spiritual motherhood, and upon John, who represents all of
you, in receiving this supreme gift of the divine Heart of the Son.
k There is such need for hope. Now the
lifeless body of Jesus, from the Cross, is placed in my motherly
arms. I cover it with kisses and tears and, with the help of the
faithful women, I wrap it in purest linen, and we place it in his new
sepulcher. And a large stone closes it, but the door of hope opens,
the hope that Jesus cannot remain in death, because He is the Son of
God: the Son of God who will rise because He had foretold this many
times; the Son of God who will meet his disciples again in the joyful
and fertile land of Galilee.
l In the sorrow of this Good Friday, your heavenly
Mother asks you to open your hearts to hope. The bloodied Cross,
which you contemplate today in tears, will be the cause of your
greatest happiness, because it will be transformed into a great
bright cross.
m The bright cross, which will extend from
east to west and will appear in the heavens, will be the sign of the
return of Jesus in glory.
n The bright cross will be transformed from
a gibbet to a throne of his triumph, because Jesus will come upon it
to establish his glorious reign in the world.
o The bright cross, which will appear in
the heavens at the end of the purification and the great tribulation,
will be the door which opens the long and dark sepulcher in which
humanity is lying, to lead it into the new reign of life which Jesus
will bring with his glorious return."

First Saturday
a "Spend this day with me, my beloved
children, and open your hearts to hope. My Son Jesus rests today in
his new sepulcher.
b It is the only day when I remained without my
Son.
It is the first day of my new and universal motherhood.
It is the day which precedes the greatest feast: Easter!
It is the first day of my new and universal motherhood.
It is the day which precedes the greatest feast: Easter!
c On this day, we commemorate the departure of the
Chosen People from the long slavery spent in Egypt. It is the passage
of the Angel of the Lord, who strikes the first-born of the Egyptians
and spares the houses of the Hebrews, marked with the blood of the
lamb.
d The true Lamb of God has now been immolated on
the Cross. His blood has descended upon the houses of all and has
redeemed the entire human race. The Lamb immolated for you now lies
in his new sepulcher.
e The Mother keeps watch in sorrow and in tears,
in faith and in prayer, in love and in hope. This day has been
dedicated by the Church to a special veneration of your heavenly
Mother, because on it the tomb is transformed into a crib, in which
humanity is placed, redeemed and now born to a new divine life.
f My Immaculate Heart is opened to receive here
each of my new children. The tears unfold into a smile, the sorrow
into joy, the hope into the greatest certitude.
g Within a few hours my Son Jesus will come forth
triumphant from the sepulcher, Victor over sin and death.
h This is the Sabbath which prepares the radiant
day of the resurrection.
This is the sorrow which leads to joy.
This is the death which opens upon life.
This is the Sabbath which is about to end.
This is the sorrow which leads to joy.
This is the death which opens upon life.
This is the Sabbath which is about to end.
i Humanity, corrupted by sin, slave to Satan,
wounded by evil, oppressed under the yoke of a great slavery, still
lies in its sepulcher. The hour is drawing close when Jesus, who has
risen and ascended to the right hand of the Father, will return to
you on the clouds of heaven, in the splendor of his divine glory,
thus bringing to perfect fulfillment the work of his redemption."

Easter Sunday
It Is the Paschal Joy
a "Share today in the joy of your heavenly
Mother, who is living the blessed hour of the resurrection of the Son
Jesus. Each of my sorrows is assuaged, and every wound is closed at
the moment when Jesus, in the splendor of his glorious body, draws
close to me, takes me in his arms, and presses me to his pierced
Heart, from which flows a fount of most powerful light that surrounds
me completely and plunges me in a sea of immense blessedness.
b How beautiful is my Son in the splendor
of his glorious and divine body! Gone now is the memory of his
despised and stricken body, scourged and wounded, pierced with thorns
and nails, crucified and put to death, taken down from the gibbet and
placed in the sepulcher. Now his body is filled with energy and
strength, shines brightly in its divine beauty, gives forth
refulgence and power, emits rays of supernatural light, fashions a
new harmony of life and of peace, opens like a gentle caress and
closes every wound of my motherly sorrow. The Son and the Mother are
again united in one single joy.
c It is the paschal joy. It is the joy
which takes hold of all humanity, made anew according to the designs
of the Father.
d It is the paschal joy, which comes down
upon his entire creation, renewed and redeemed by his bloody
Sacrifice.
e It is the paschal joy, which reaches
Hades to set free from the darkness of death the souls of all the
just, awaiting in expectation.
f It is the paschal joy, which permeates
all men, who have returned as children into the arms of the Heavenly
Father.
g It is the paschal joy, which brings cheer
to the painful journey of the Church, called to live today the hours
of Gethsemane and Calvary.
h It is the paschal joy, which penetrates
into the hearts of all my children, comforted and encouraged to live
through the painful time of the purification and the great
tribulation.
i It is the paschal joy, which brightens up
your hope and gives a sure response to the great expectation of all.
j It is the paschal joy, which enters into
your epoch and prepares it for the greatest event of all history,
because the Easter resurrection will attain its complete fulfillment
only when Jesus will return in glory to establish his reign in your
midst, in the fulfillment of the Will of the Father on the part of
all, and in the perfect glorification of the Most Holy and Divine
Trinity.”

Rome (Italy); May 1, 1994
Feast of St. Joseph the Worker
The Hour of Calvary
a "Begin with me this month, dedicated by the
Church to my special veneration. As little children, offer each day
the flowers of love and prayer to your heavenly Mother. I ask you to
spread more and more the cenacles which I have requested of you so
many times.
b - The rosary which you recite has a very great
power against evil and against the numerous enticements of my
Adversary. To the reign of Satan which is spreading, to the slavery
of sin which is subjugating many of my children, to evil which is
instilling its venom in hearts, to the snares of the Evil One which
have become subtle and dangerous, to the powerful force of
Freemasonry which has succeeded in insinuating itself everywhere, to
the cult of Satan which is spreading, respond with the prayer of
the holy rosary. This is my prayer; it is your prayer.
c - Renew each day your consecration to my
Immaculate Heart. Through this act, you make it possible for me to
enter, as Mother, into your life and to dispose it for the perfect
fulfillment of the design which the Lord has on each one of you. Thus
you become my very own presence in the world, and in these last
times, you spread everywhere the light of my holiness, of my purity,
of my humility, of my obedience, of my docility, of my motherly and
merciful love.
d - Above all, I ask you to offer me the
fragrant and precious flower of your suffering. On the altar of my
Immaculate Heart, I want to offer all my children, in a perennial act
of immolation and reparation. Only through the suffering of my
littlest children can I hasten the time of the triumph of my
Immaculate Heart in the world. Precisely in this month, I have again
asked a greater suffering, even of my Pope, John Paul the Second.
e The hour of Calvary has now arrived.
f The hour of Calvary has arrived for the
Church, called to offer herself in holocaust and to be immolated on
the cross of her bloody martyrdom.
g The hour of Calvary has arrived for this
poor humanity, which is already beginning to live the painful hours
of its chastisement.
h The hour of Calvary has arrived for you,
my beloved ones, because you have now entered into the conclusive
time of the great tribulation. As Mother, I am leading you each day
to the fulfillment of your priestly immolation.
i For this reason, I invite you to live with
particular intensity this month consecrated to me, offering me the
fragrant flowers of your prayer and your suffering.
j Open your hearts to hope. Just as the blossoming
of flowers in this month tells you that spring has now arrived, so
too the blossoming everywhere of this, my great work of love, tells
you that my motherly triumph has now arrived."

Anniversary of the First Apparition at Fatima
An Apocalyptic Message
a "Again this year you are observing,
with a day-long cenacle in this venerated shrine, the anniversary of
my first apparition in the Cova da Iria in Fatima.
b My Immaculate Heart opens and causes rays
of my motherly and merciful love to descend upon you. It is within
your time that the fulfillment of the message is taking place, the
message which I have given you at Fatima and against which my
Adversary has thrown himself in fury, but which will now appear in
all its extraordinary importance for the Church and for all humanity.

regard to the end of the times.

d - Upon this humanity which has again become
pagan, enveloped in the coldness of the denial of God and of
rebellion against his Law of love, corrupted by sin and evil, and
over whom Satan reigns as a sure victor, I am causing the rays of
love and of light from my Immaculate Heart to come down.
e They shed light for you upon the way along which
you must travel, to return to God along the road of conversion, of
prayer and of penance.
f Thus my Immaculate Heart becomes today the sure
means of salvation for all this humanity, because only in my
Immaculate Heart will you find refuge in the moment of the
chastisement, comfort in the hour of suffering, relief in the midst
of unspeakable afflictions, light in the days of densest darkness,
refreshment amidst the flames of the fire which consumes, confidence
and hope in a now general despair.
g - Upon this Church, darkened and wounded,
stricken and betrayed, I am causing the rays of love and of light
from my Immaculate Heart to come down. When there will have entered
into her the man of iniquity, who will bring to fulfillment the
abomination of desolation which will reach its climax in the horrible
sacrilege, as the great apostasy will have spread everywhere, then my
Immaculate Heart will gather together the little faithful remnant
which, in suffering, in prayer and in hope, will await the return of
my Son Jesus in glory.
h For this reason I urge you today to look
to the great light which has spread out from Fatima over the events
of this, your century, and which is becoming particularly strong in
these last times.
i Mine is an apocalyptic message, because
you are in the heart of that which has been announced to you in the
last and so very important book of Sacred Scripture.

Immaculate Heart the task of bringing you to an understanding of
these events, now that I have opened the sealed Book for you."

Solemnity of Pentecost
Come, Holy Spirit
a "Today you find yourselves gathered
together here, in a continuous cenacle of prayer with your heavenly
Mother, in the liturgical celebration of the solemnity of Pentecost.
b And you are repeating, with the intensity of
love, the prayer which I myself have taught you: `Come, Holy Spirit,
come by means of the powerful intercession of the Immaculate Heart of
Mary, your well-beloved Spouse.'
c Come, Holy Spirit.
d A new and universal effusion of the Holy
Spirit is necessary to arrive at the new times, so longed for. It is
necessary that the second Pentecost come quickly. It can come to pass
only in the spiritual cenacle of my Immaculate Heart. For this
reason, I renew today the invitation to all the Church to enter into
the cenacle which the heavenly Mother has prepared for you for the
final times. You are able to enter through the act of consecration to
my Immaculate Heart.
e I request that this consecration, asked
by me with such anxious insistence, be made by the bishops, the
priests, the religious and the faithful. And let it be made by all in
order to shorten the time of the great trial which has now arrived.
f The Holy Spirit will then bring you to an
understanding of the whole and entire truth.
The Holy Spirit will cause you to understand the times through which you are living.
The Holy Spirit will be light upon your way and will make you courageous witnesses of the Gospel in the dreadful hour of the great apostasy.
The Holy Spirit will bring you to grasp that which I will make manifest to you concerning what is contained in the still sealed Book.
The Holy Spirit will cause you to understand the times through which you are living.
The Holy Spirit will be light upon your way and will make you courageous witnesses of the Gospel in the dreadful hour of the great apostasy.
The Holy Spirit will bring you to grasp that which I will make manifest to you concerning what is contained in the still sealed Book.
The Holy Spirit will give his perfect witness to
the Son, by preparing hearts and souls to receive Jesus who will
return to you in glory.
g Come, Holy Spirit.
h Come by means of the powerful intercession of my
Immaculate Heart. My hour is the hour of the Holy Spirit. The triumph
of my Immaculate Heart will coincide with the great prodigy of the
second Pentecost.
i A new fire will come down from heaven and will
purify all humanity, which has again become pagan. It will be like a
judgment in miniature, and each one will see himself in the light of
the very truth of God.
j Thus sinners will come back to grace and
holiness; the straying, to the road of righteousness; those far away,
to the house of the Father; the sick, to complete healing; and the
proud, the impure, the wicked collaborators with Satan will be
defeated and condemned for ever.
k Then my motherly Heart will have its triumph
over all humanity, which will return to a new marriage of love and of
life with its Heavenly Father.
l Come, Holy Spirit.
m Come at the voice of your well-beloved Spouse
who calls You. I am the heavenly Spouse of the Holy Spirit. As,
through a singular design of the Father, I have become true Mother of
the Son, so also have I become true Spouse of the Holy Spirit. The
Holy Spirit has given Himself to my soul by an interior and true
spousal union, and of this has been born the divine fruit of the
virginal conception of the Word in my most pure womb.
n The Spirit cannot resist the voice of the Spouse
who calls to Him. And so unite yourselves, each and all, to me, my
little children, in invoking today the gift of the Holy Spirit. Let
your supplication become the prayer of these last times. Let your
prayer be habitual, repeated frequently by you, because it has been
taught to you and is being passionately demanded of you by your
heavenly Mother: `Come, Holy Spirit, come by means of the powerful
intercession of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, your well-beloved
Spouse.'
o And open your hearts to hope, because there is
about to come upon you the greatest prodigy of the second Pentecost."

San Leonardo (Sardinia, Italy);

Feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary
Spiritual Exercises in the Form of a Cenacle
with the Youth of the M.M.P. from Sardinia
Your Refuge
a "Today you find yourself here, my little
son, in a continuous cenacle of prayer and fraternity, with many
young people of my Movement, to celebrate the feast of the Immaculate
Heart of your heavenly Mother. See how I am loved by all these young
people! Their love, their enthusiasm, their prayer, and their
consecration to my Immaculate Heart close the deep wounds of my great
sorrow
b I open the golden door of my motherly Heart in
order to have enter there all my children, exposed to many dangers,
stricken by many sorrows, wearied by many battles, wounded by many
defeats. In these difficult and painful years, I open, especially to
my young people, the refuge of my Immaculate Heart. My motherly Heart
thus becomes for you your secure refuge.
c - It is your refuge, in which you take
shelter from the grave and threatening dangers which surround you.
The pagan society in which you live - a society which has denied its
God, in order to build the idols of pleasure and money, of pride and
egoism, of amusement and impurity constitutes for you a grave danger
of betraying your baptism and of violating the obligations which you
have assumed before God and the Church.
d In my Immaculate Heart you will be formed
to the perfect glory of the Lord, through your promise of a life
offered to Him, in the fulfillment of the divine Will and in the
observance of his Law.
e - It is your refuge, in which you are
defended against the wicked influence which this world - so
materialistic and utterly bent on the mad search for pleasure - has
over you.
f In my Immaculate Heart, you will be trained in
renunciation id mortification, in prayer and penance, in poverty and
the perfection of love. In this way, you will experience the joy of
walking along the road which Jesus has pointed out for you, in a
spirit of freedom, and of correspondence with the great gift which e
has given you.
g - It is your refuge, which protects you
from being contaminated by sin and impurity. How impregnated with
immorality and evil are the surroundings in which you live! Sin is
committed and justified. Disobedience to the Laws of God is extolled
and publicized. The diabolical power of Satan spreads more and more
over individuals and countries. How are you to protect yourselves
from this flood of misery, of corruption and of godlessness?
h - My Immaculate Heart is your refuge. It
is given to you precisely for these times of yours. Enter in, my
dearly beloved children, and thus you will journey along the road
which brings you to the God of salvation and peace.
i - My Immaculate Heart is your refuge, in
which I gather you together, as in a new spiritual cenacle, to obtain
for you the gift of the Holy Spirit, who would transform you into
apostles of the second evangelization.
j Be apostles of this, my work, in all Sardinia.
Go out from this cenacle, and go everywhere in search of my children
who have strayed along the roads of sin and evil, of unbelief and
pleasure, of impurity and drugs. Bring them all into the same refuge
which I have prepared for you.
k I am with you and am lighting up for you the way
along which you must go. Today I look upon you with motherly
tenderness, and, with all those who are dear to you, I bless you and
encourage you to walk along the way of holiness and love, of purity
and joy."

Spiritual Exercises in the Form of a Cenacle
with 25 Bishops and 250 Priests of the M.M.P. from Europe, America,
Asia and Oceania
My Immaculate Heart Will Triumph
a "Never have you come in such great
numbers from every part of the world, bishops and priests of my
Movement, and you are up here on this mountain for a week of a
continuous cenacle of prayer and fraternity. You have come, drawn by
the voice of your heavenly Mother.
b I have called you up here. During these
days, I am constantly close to each one of you. I unite myself with
your prayer. I deepen the bond of your fraternal relationship. I
obtain for you the gift of the Holy Spirit, who works profoundly in
your life and who brings you to a transformation of heart.
c How much comfort you give to your heavenly
Mother! In you my Heart is glorified because, by means of you, I am
able to bring about the triumph of my Immaculate Heart in the world,
as I have announced to you at Fatima.
d - My Immaculate Heart will triumph over
this ailing and materialistic humanity, bent on the mad search for
pleasure and comfort, which has built a new civilization without God
and has again become pagan, after almost two thousand years since the
first announcing of the Gospel.
e Go and preach the necessity of penance
and conversion, of return to the Lord along the way of prayer and
repentance, of renunciation of Satan and all his wiles, of evil and
the tyranny of the passions.
f Let this humanity return, like the prodigal son,
into the arms of the Heavenly Father, who awaits it with love, so
that a new, profound and universal reconciliation may be thus
achieved between God and humanity.
g It is you who must be the instruments of this
general return. It is you who must be the apostles of this second
evangelization, so strongly requested by my Pope. Thus, by means of
you, my Immaculate Heart will triumph.
h - My Immaculate Heart will triumph over
this, my suffering and divided Church, torn by the evil spirits and
possessed, in an increasingly powerful way, by the dark power of
Freemasonry. Because of this, errors are being spread about in her,
and these are often being taught, spread and accepted midst general
apathy and indifference. The lack of faith is spreading. Sins are
committed and justified. The ministers of the sanctuary languish in
lukewarmness and indifference and are dissipating the treasures which
the Lord has put into their hands.
i How this most beloved Daughter of mine is
suffering! How few are those who listen to the voice of your heavenly
Mother and follow it. And these encounter difficulty,
misunderstanding, and persecution, often on the part of their own
confreres.
j It is you who must be the instruments of the
interior renewal of all the Church, you who are called to be the new
heart of the new Church, purified, enlightened and sanctified.
k For this reason I invite you to be today
courageous apostles of faith and unity, of holiness and love. Bend
down with me to soothe her great pain, to place balm and comfort on
her many open and bleeding wounds. In this way you become for her
today expressions of my motherly tenderness, and by means of you, my
Immaculate Heart will triumph.
l - My Immaculate Heart will triumph over
all my poor children, who are carrying the cross of the unspeakable
sufferings of these last times of the purification and the great
tribulation. How many are those who are far away! How numerous are
the victims of my Adversary, who has established in the world today
the summit of his diabolical power.
m Take by the hand those children who have been
set on the road to precocious experiences of evil. Support the youth
who have been ensnared and seduced by false values which have been
proposed to them and who are succumbing under the weight of sins, of
impurity and of drugs. Help Christian families to live as little
communities of grace and prayer, of communion and love, and snatch
them away from the grave danger of division and divorce, of recourse
to the means of impeding life, and of the abortions which are
increasing in every part of the world.
n Go in search of the little sheep, straying along
all the roadways of the world. Convert sinners; support the wavering;
lead the wandering; heal the sick; comfort the dying. To all, give
the grace and the love, the salvation and the life which my Son Jesus
has given to you through his passion and death on the Cross.
o Thus you become instruments of salvation for
all, in these last times, when everything which I foretold to you
must be accomplished. In this way, by means of you, my Immaculate
Heart will, in the end, triumph.
p Go out from this cenacle with serenity and joy.
I have granted to all the grace of a change of heart and a
transformation of life. No one is leaving this cenacle the same as
they entered.
q I am the Mother of grace and of purity, of love
and of hope, of joy and of peace. Leave in peace, and become, in
every part of the world, the instruments of my peace. I am with you,
and I will cause you to feel my motherly presence in an extraordinary
way.
r With your dear ones, and with the persons who
are entrusted to you, I bless you all in the name of the Father, and
of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit."

Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed
Virgin Mary into Heaven
The Feast of Joy
a "Beloved children, contemplate me today in
the light of my glorified body, assumed into the glory of paradise.
The Most Holy and Divine Trinity reflects in me the splendor of its
power and of its greatest glory.
b All the heavenly spirits leap for joy as they
celebrate with hymns of exultation and prostrate themselves in an act
of profound veneration for her who has been constituted their Queen.
c As they see me at the side of my Son with my
glorified body, surrounded with splendor and beauty, the bands of
saints experience an increase in blessedness, at the thought that one
day their bodies also, at present decomposed, will follow on in glory
to the bright destiny, reserved for now only to your heavenly Mother.
d Special comfort descends upon all the souls who
are suffering in purgatory, in prayer and in pain, because, in the
vision of my glorified body, their purification becomes stronger and
the desire to be united with me in the glory of paradise becomes more
ardent.
e It is a consolation and sure hope for all the
Church, still on pilgrimage in the desert of this world, loaded down
with sufferings and wounds, as it contemplates me today, prays to me
and calls upon me with fervor, that my motherly presence might help
it to journey with confidence toward the heavenly fatherland.
f But above all it gives great joy to you, my
dearly beloved children, who are living through the last times of the
purification and the great tribulation. The world has become a desert
for lack of love and life. Impurity is being spread everywhere
through all the means of communication, and with its wicked
influence, it is bringing about the corruption and the perversion of
morals. Your body, a temple of the Spirit, is being degraded and
profaned. Sin is reducing you to a new and greater slavery.
g Your heavenly Mother takes you by the hand and
leads you along the bright, beautiful, pure and holy roads which lead
you to paradise.
h Today is the feast of my Assumption, body and
soul, into heaven. It is the feast of light and grace, of beauty and
purity, of love and life.
i Today is the feast of joy.j The
angels and saints in heaven rejoice.
All the souls who are being cleansed in purgatory rejoice.
The Church on earth which looks on me as a sign of consolation and sure hope rejoices.
My poor, sinful, sick, wounded, wandering and despairing children rejoice.
All the souls who are being cleansed in purgatory rejoice.
The Church on earth which looks on me as a sign of consolation and sure hope rejoices.
My poor, sinful, sick, wounded, wandering and despairing children rejoice.
k Today is the feast of your joy.
l You, above all, my children, who are exposed to
the very great sufferings of these last times, you must rejoice and
open your hearts to hope. The Woman Clothed with the Sun is now on
the point of attaining her greatest victory with the triumph of her
Immaculate Heart in the world."

Feast of St. Augustine
Vigil of the Journey to North and Central
America
Vigilant Sentinels
a "Let yourself be carried in my motherly
arms, my little child, and you will see everywhere the marvels of
grace and mercy of my Immaculate Heart.
b Do not be concerned over such a long and
wearisome journey, which you are preparing yourself to undertake in
order to hold cenacles with the priests and the faithful of my
Movement in all Canada, the United States, Mexico and the Dominican
Republic.
c Entrust to the angels of light of my Heart all
that has to do with this new itinerary of yours. They will carry you
on their wings and will keep watch lest you strike your foot against
any obstacle.
d Oh, in your days, how beautiful are the feet of
those who announce peace, of those who spread the good news of
salvation and of the triumph of divine mercy! You must be these
announcers of peace. You must be today vigilant sentinels upon the
mountains of confidence and hope.
e - Be vigilant sentinels in the dark time of
infidelity and apostasy. Thus you will spread about you the fiercely
burning light of the Gospel; you will give to all the strength of the
word of God and point out the road one must travel to remain ever in
the truth.
f The whole world awaits your announcement with
ardent hope. You are the apostles of this second evangelization.
Preach to all peoples that Jesus Christ is the one and only Lord,
your Savior and Redeemer, and that He is now about to return to you
in the splendor of his glory.
g - Be vigilant sentinels in the hour of the
greatest triumph of Satan and of all the evil spirits. Humanity is in
their possession. The world is set in the hands of the Evil One. And
so souls have become slaves to sin and are bearing the burden of
separation from God, the only source of your happiness. Thus despair
is spreading; violence and hatred are reigning supreme in the
relationships between individuals and countries; and you are becoming
more and more crushed in the bloody winepress of revolutions and
wars, of dissensions and fratricidal struggles.
h You have come to the culmination of the
tribulation, and you are living the years of the great chastisement,
which, in many ways, has already been announced to you.
i - Be vigilant sentinels who mark out the
way of return to the God of peace and life, of love and joy. And so,
you must free yourselves from the yoke of sin in order to live always
in grace and in communion with God, setting yourselves against the
spirit of the world in which you live. You will then be ever faithful
to the promises of your baptism.
j By means of you, the light of goodness and love,
of brotherhood and peace, of trust and joy will be able to return
upon the world.
k - Be vigilant sentinels who announce that
the great day of the Lord is now imminent. Make this announcement to
all that they may open their hearts to hope, in order for the second
Advent to come about in your time and so that all may prepare to
receive the heavenly dew of divine mercy, which is now on the point
of being poured out upon the entire world.
l Thus, even in the indescribable sufferings of
the time in which you live, your hearts and your souls can be opened
to the joy of this announcement and to the expectation of this
prodigious event which you invoke with inexpressible groanings:
`Return, Lord Jesus!' " (cf. Rev 22:20)

Feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin
Mary
With the Littlest Ones
a "You find yourself here in this great
country, my little son, to celebrate today the earthly birth of your
heavenly Mother. You have seen the extraordinary participation of
priests and especially of the faithful in the cenacles, which you are
holding in every part of Canada. My hour has come, and the cohort of
the children consecrated to my Immaculate Heart is now ready.
b With the littlest ones, I attain the
triumph of my Immaculate Heart, and Jesus will establish his glorious
reign in the world.
c With the littlest ones, I am able to form
for myself the faithful Church, which is now ready for its birth in
the motherly garden of my Immaculate Heart.
d With the littlest ones, I am waging my
battle against the powerful cohort of the great and proud, who have
hurled their defiance at the Lord. Thus, once again, the Lord will
assert his power and, through the mouths of infants and babes at the
breast, will reduce to nothing the forces of all his adversaries.
e With the littlest ones, I am attaining
each day my victory over Satan and his powerful army of evil, over
the satanic and Masonic forces organized against God, because I am
leading my children along the road of heroic faith, of sure hope and
of perfect love. In them, the Heavenly Father is being glorified; by
them, Jesus is loved and lived; through them, the Holy Spirit is
pouring out the power of his divine love upon the world.
f In this great country also, I am leading you to
salvation and peace by means of these little children of mine. See
how they are responding to me with generosity and enthusiasm! See how
they are living, with love and gratitude, the consecration to my
Immaculate Heart!
g By means of them, my triumph has already begun.
I am now carrying it forward in haste, because the time of my
greatest manifestation has now arrived.
h For this reason, my little son, I am bringing
you again to distant places and asking of you such a very toilsome
work and a very heavy task, which is humanly impossible. But I am
carrying and leading you, sustaining and assisting you, consoling and
encouraging you, because from every part of the earth you must bring
all my little children into the refuge of my Immaculate Heart.
i It is only with them that the heavenly Mother
can attain her triumph. It is only with them that Jesus can establish
his glorious reign in the world.
j And so, on the day on which you contemplate me
in the cradle, where I have been placed after my earthly birth, I
bless you with the joy of being followed more and more by you along
the way of littleness and humility."

Feast of Our Lady of Sorrows
The Pierced Soul
a " 'A sword will pierce your soul.' (cf. Lk
2:35) These words, spoken by the aged Simeon at the moment when I was
offering my little Child to the Lord, were proven true during the
whole course of my Son Jesus' earthly life.
b From his infancy threatened by snares to his
hidden youth; from his public life, filled with opposition, to his
condemnation to the gibbet; from his ascent of Calvary to his death
on the Cross: the entire life of Jesus was a continual fulfillment of
this prophecy.
c It has been thus also for the Church, the
Mystical Body of my Son Jesus. During its earthly journey, in the
course of its history, interwoven with pain and blood, how many times
my soul has been pierced by a sword!
d But above all, in these last times, is your
heavenly Mother's soul pierced with immense pain.
e My soul is pierced by the pain of all
this poor humanity, which has distanced itself from its Lord in order
to follow the idols of pleasure and comfort, of pride and money, of
hatred and impurity. How great is the danger into which it can fall,
the danger of destroying itself by its own hands!
f And so, as an anxious Mother, I am intervening
in order to lead it along the road of conversion and penance, of a
return to the Lord and of its salvation. But my extraordinary
interventions are not accepted; on the contrary, they are often
opposed and openly rejected.
g My soul is pierced in seeing my Church
prostrate beneath the weight of a most painful agony. Those errors
which lead to a loss of faith are being spread more and more within
it. Sin is seducing the minds and hearts of many of my children. Many
are giving in to the allurements of pleasures and falling into
slavery to Satan, who has succeeded in seducing the whole earth.
h My Pope is becoming more and more
isolated, mocked, criticized and abandoned. Many from among the
bishops and the priests are going along the road of disloyalty and
are fading away like lights which are now burnt out. Many voracious
wolves, in sheep's clothing, are entering in to inflict slaughter on
the sheepfold of my Son Jesus.
i The Church is now being called to live through
the hours of its passion and its bloody immolation.
j My soul is pierced by many souls who are
being lost and going each day into hell. Help me to save them. Help
me with prayer, with suffering, with your love, with your
faithfulness. For this reason I am asking you to multiply your
cenacles of prayer, in the conclusive time of the great tribulation.
In this way, you help me to save many of my poor children, who are
walking toward their eternal perdition.
k My soul is pierced in seeing into what a
dire situation this great country, in which you find yourself, has
fallen. It has again become pagan, a victim of materialism and of the
mad search for pleasure. The Law of God is more and more violated,
and the gift of life is being daily attacked through the innumerable
abortions which are being carried out.
l Cry out to all with a resolute voice, to tell
them of my immense sorrow. Announce, without fear, that the great
chastisement has already begun and that, to be saved, you must enter
as quickly as possible into the safe refuge of my Immaculate Heart.
Here, you will be consoled by me, and you yourselves will give
comfort to my soul which, especially in these times, is again being
pierced by an immense sorrow."

Feast of the Holy Archangels
The Angels of Your Time
a "Today you are celebrating the feast of the
Archangels, Gabriel, Raphael and Michael.
b They are the Angels of your time. They
are the Angels of the final time of the purification and the great
tribulation.
c They are the Angels of your time. To them
is entrusted a special task during the period of the trial and the
great chastisement. To them befalls the task of saving the people of
God, of gathering, from every part of the earth, those who are being
called to form part of the little remnant which will remain faithful,
in the safe refuge of my Immaculate Heart.
d They are the Angels of your time. Above
all, they are the Angels who reveal to you the final events described
in the sealed Book.
e To the Archangel Michael is entrusted the
task of leading the cohorts of the angels and of my faithful children
into the battle against the trained and well equipped armies of
Satan, of evil, of the satanic and Masonic forces, now organized on a
worldwide scale into a single great force, in order to set themselves
against God and against his Christ.
f Saint Michael will above all intervene to fight
against the ancient enemy, Lucifer, who in the final hour will appear
with all the dark power of the Antichrist. His is the task of
fighting against him and of conquering him, of driving him out into
his reign of darkness and fire, offering to your heavenly Mother the
chain with which she will bind him, and the key with which to lock
the door of the abyss, from which he will no longer be able to come
out to harm the world.
g To the Archangel Raphael is entrusted the
mission of taking part as a heavenly physician in the great struggle,
in order to help you and to heal those who are stricken and wounded.
h As he restored sight to Tobit, so too will he
give vision to millions of my poor children, who have been made blind
by sins, by errors and by the great darkness of your days, so that
they may once again believe and contemplate the divine splendor of
the truth.
i To the Archangel Gabriel is entrusted the
great mission of announcing the return of Jesus in glory, to restore
his reign in the world.
j As the heavenly announcement of the first coming
of my Son into the world came through him, so once again will he be
the bright messenger of the second coming of Jesus in glory. This
second coming will take place in the power and the light, with Jesus
who will appear upon the clouds of heaven, in the splendor of his
divinity, to subject all things to Himself. And thus the divine power
of my Son Jesus will be made manifest to the entire created universe.
k To the Archangel, who is called `Power of
God,' is given the task of announcing to all the closely approaching
return of Christ, with the force of his divine power.
l For this reason, I invite you today to
honor, to pray, and to invoke the protection of these three
Archangels, called to carry out such a great mission in the
conclusive time of the great tribulation and to bring you into the
heart of the final events, through which you are now being called to
live with confidence and with great hope."

Anniversary of the Last Apparition at Fatima
Spiritual Exercises in the Form of a Cenacle
with the Bishops and Priests of the M.M.P. from the United States and
Canada
My Times Have Arrived
a "My beloved sons, great is the joy which,
during these days, you give to your heavenly Mother. You have come
from many parts of the United States and Canada, to live with me in a
continuous cenacle of prayer and fraternity.
b I join myself to your prayer; I help you
to grow in mutual love, so as to become one heart and one soul. I
pour balm on. your wounds; I give comfort to your numerous
sufferings; and I encourage you to walk with trust and with great
hope along the painful road of these last times.
c Bring my motherly message to everyone.
d My times have arrived.
e The times which I foretold in Fatima have come.
Today, you are commemorating the anniversary of my last apparition,
which was confirmed by the miracle of the sun. At that time I
foretold to you everything you are now experiencing in these years of
the purification and the great tribulation.
f - I foretold to you the great chastisement which
would strike this poor humanity which has become pagan and built a
new civilization without God, and which is threatened by violence, by
hatred, by war, and which is running the risk of destroying itself by
its own hands.
g My extraordinary interventions, which I have
worked in order to bring humanity back onto the road of conversion
and of its return to the Lord, have been neither accepted nor
believed.
h So it is now that you find yourselves at the
vigil of the great trial which I foretold to you: it will be the
supreme manifestation of the divine justice and mercy.
i Fire will descend from heaven, and humanity will
be purified and completely renewed, so as to be ready to receive the
Lord Jesus who will return to you in glory.
j - I also foretold to you the great crisis which
would take place in the Church, because of the great apostasy which
has entered into her, caused by an ever wider diffusion of errors, by
her interior division, by opposition to the Pope and by the rejection
of his Magisterium.
k This most beloved Daughter of mine must live the
hours of her agony and of her sorrowful passion. She will be
abandoned by many of her children. The impetuous wind of persecution
will blow against her, and much blood will be shed, even by my
beloved sons.
l My times have arrived.
m And so I invite you to follow me along the road
of prayer and penance, of purity and holiness.
n See how your countries have become victims of
materialism and of the unbridled search for pleasure! The Law of God
is being more and more violated. Impurity is being advertised through
all the means of social communication. Recourse is being had to every
means of impeding life. Abortions are increasing everywhere and are
being legitimized by unjust and immoral laws.
o My times have arrived.
p Tell everyone to enter into the ark of my
Immaculate Heart, in order to be protected and saved by me. I request
that you multiply your cenacles of prayer among priests, among
children, among youth, and especially in families.
q I have been consoled by the very great response
which I received in Canada and in the United States during these
cenacles. Never before have they seen a participation in such great
numbers, on the part of both priests and faithful.
r Because of the generous response which I am
receiving everywhere from my littlest children, I promise to
intervene to save you in the hour of the great trial.
s My maternal presence among you is the sure sign
of protection and of salvation.
t Open your hearts therefore to hope, and live in
the greatest trust and in complete abandonment to my Immaculate
Heart.
u With your dear ones, and with the persons
entrusted to you, I bless you in the name of the Father, and of the
Son, and of the Holy Spirit."

Solemnity of All Saints
In the Splendor of the Saints
a "You are celebrating today the feast of All
Saints. How many of your brothers and sisters, who on earth below
have formed part of my cohort, form in paradise the crown of glory
about the Immaculate Heart of your Mother and Queen. I am the Queen
of All Saints.
b In the splendor of the saints, there is
formed one single and unique family of the children of God, loved,
redeemed and saved by Him, who possess one perfect and eternal
happiness and who intone the new hymn of his glorious triumph.
c In the splendor of the saints, you too
are living these days of painful purification and of great
tribulation. They are close to you; they are helping you; they are
protecting you by their powerful intercession and are leading you to
the complete fulfillment of my motherly plan.
d In the splendor of the saints, you are
consoled in your suffering, and you are comforted in the bloody
moments of the struggle against the powerful forces of evil, which
today appear to have gained the upper hand. Thus you are being called
to live out the painful hours of your martyrdom.
e In the splendor of the saints, you must
live out the present moments and bear the weight of the great trial,
which has now come down upon the world, to purify humanity and
prepare it for its meeting with the Lord who is returning to you in
glory.
f In the splendor of the saints, the entire
suffering pilgrim Church must now open its heart to hope, because
much light is coming down from heaven to illumine and comfort its
sorrowful journey toward the Calvary of its immolation.
g In the splendor of the saints, continue
this, your so wearisome and extraordinary journey, my littlest child,
called to carry the light of Christ to so many souls darkened by sin
and the love and the comfort of the Mother to many sick and wounded
hearts. Thus upon each step which you take, your heavenly Mother will
cause hope, confidence and joy to blossom forth."

Spiritual Exercises in the Form of a Cenacle
with the Priests of the M.M.P. from Mexico and El Salvador
Let Your Trust Be Great
"How happy I am to see you, priests of my
Movement from Mexico and El Salvador, gathered here in a continuous
cenacle of prayer and fraternity. I unite myself with your prayer. I
help you to grow in your mutual love, because you must walk together
along the painful road of the great tribulation.
b Love each other as so many brothers bound
together in the love of your heavenly Mother. Live in joy and hope.
c Let your trust be great. Jesus loves you
with a divine and merciful love. He sees your great difficulties and
the abandonment in which you often find yourselves, because of the
painful and difficult times in which you are living.
d Your countries have again become pagan. They are
being dominated by the forces of evil and Masonry. They have become
victims of materialism and of the unbridled search for pleasure. The
Law of the Lord is becoming more and more violated in respect to
every one of his commandments. The gift of life is being attacked in
a subtle and perverse way. Violence and hatred are disseminated,
while impurity is spreading like a poison which brings death to
hearts and souls.
e You are being called to be the instruments of
divine mercy for all this poor humanity, so far from God. For this
reason, I ask you to be faithful to your ministry. Be strong
witnesses of faith in the time of the great apostasy, of holiness in
the moments of the great perversion, and of love in the hour of
violence and hatred, which is becoming stronger and stronger from day
to day.
f Let your trust be great. I am Mother, and
I want to spread the balm of my motherly love upon all my children. I
have need of you.
g And so I ask you to consecrate yourselves to my
Immaculate Heart, because I want to make of you instruments of my
motherly mercy. Take my most needy children in your priestly arms,
and bring them into the heavenly refuge of my Immaculate Heart.
Support the weak; lead the hesitant; convert the sinners; heal the
sick; comfort the despairing; bring those far away into the house of
the Father; give to all the balm of my motherly and merciful love.
h In this way, you become the precious
instruments of the triumph of my Immaculate Heart in the world.
i Let your trust be great. The triumph of
my Immaculate Heart is near.
j I am consoled by the response of love and prayer
which, in this country, I am receiving from the littlest, the poor,
the weak, the humble, the simple. In the heart and the life of these,
my little children, the triumph of my Immaculate Heart has already
begun.
k This triumph will continue in an increasingly
stronger way, because Latin America is my possession and belongs to
me. And I will manifest myself to all, as a powerful and merciful
Mother.
l For this reason, I invite you to leave this
cenacle in peace, in joy and with a great hope. 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.”

National Cenacle of the M.M.P.
The Apple of My Eye
a "With what love I look upon you, priests
and faithful of my Movement, who find yourselves here in this, my
most venerated Shrine, in order to hold your great cenacle, which
brings to conclusion those held in many cities of Mexico, this land
particularly protected and blessed by me! I am causing torrents of
love and of mercy to come down from my Immaculate Heart upon you all,
upon the Church and upon this poor humanity.
b As the image of little Juan Diego, to whom I
appeared, is imprinted in my eyes, so also are you imprinted in the
eyes and the Heart of your heavenly Mother.
c You are the apple of my eye, because you
are my littlest babes, completely consecrated to me, and thus I am
able to pour out, upon you, all the tenderness of my motherly love.
d You are the apple of my eye, because you
let yourselves be led by me with great docility. You listen to me;
you carry out my requests; you walk along the road which I have
pointed out to you. And thus, by means of you, I am able to carry out
the great plan of the triumph of my Immaculate Heart in the world.
e You are the apple of my eye, because
through you I am able to spread the light of the faith in the days of
the great apostasy, the perfume of grace and of holiness in the time
of the great perversion, and the victorious force of love in the hour
of violence and hatred.
f You are the apple of my eye, because of
the great love which you have for the Eucharistic Jesus. With what
joy I look upon you when you go before the tabernacle to give your
priestly homage of love, of adoration and of reparation to Jesus. At
a time when the Eucharistic Jesus is surrounded by so much
indifference and with such emptiness, you still spread the solemn
hours of Eucharistic adoration, and you surround the Eucharistic
Jesus with flowers and lights as signs indicative of your love and
your tender devotion.
g You are the apple of my eye, because you
are simple, poor and humble. And thus you love me with all the candor
of your childlike hearts.
h You have seen, my little son, with what
enthusiasm I am loved, besought and glorified by all these Mexican
children of mine. For this reason, my great victory against all the
Masonic and satanic forces will begin from here, for the greatest
triumph of my Son Jesus.
i I confirm to you that, by the great jubilee of
the year two thousand, there will take place the triumph of my
Immaculate Heart, which I foretold to you at Fatima, and this will
come to pass with the return of Jesus in glory, to establish his
reign in the world. Thus you will at last be able to see with your
own eyes the new heavens and the new earth.
j With all my love of a Mother, consoled
and glorified by you, I bless you in the name of the Father, and of
the Son, and of the Holy Spirit."

Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception
Apostles of the Last Times
a "You find yourself here, my little son, to
hold a cenacle with the bishops, priests and faithful of my Movement,
on this day when the Church celebrates the solemnity of my Immaculate
Conception.
b The Most Holy Trinity has filled my entire being
with this singular privilege, because I was destined to be the Mother
of the Word, become man in my most pure womb.
c In view of my divine maternity, I have been
preserved from original sin and from every shadow of personal sin,
and I have been filled with grace and holiness.
d Because I am the Mother of Jesus, I have been
intimately associated in the mystery of his work of redemption, as
Co-redemptrix, and have thus become true Mediatrix of Grace between
you and my Son Jesus.
e Beneath the Cross, through the Will of my Son, I
have become Mother of all of you, and in the Cenacle with the
Apostles, I have participated as Mother in the birth of the Church.
f My motherly task is that of leading the Church
along the way of its evangelization. And so I have always been at the
side of each of my children who, through two thousand years, have
brought the announcement of the Gospel to every part of the world.
g Precisely on this day, you are celebrating here
the five hundredth anniversary of the beginning of the evangelization
of all this great continent of America.
h After nearly two thousand years since the first
announcing of the Gospel, humanity has again become pagan. I am the
Mother of the Second Evangelization. Mine is the task of forming the
apostles of the second evangelization. During these years, I have
formed you with particular care and through the gift of my words, to
be the apostles of these last times.
i Apostles of the last times, because you
must announce to all, to the very ends of the earth, the Gospel of
Jesus, in these days of the great apostasy. In the great darkness
which has descended upon the world, spread the light of Christ and of
his divine truth.
j Apostles of the last times, because you
must give to all the very life of God, by means of grace which you
communicate with the sacraments of which you are the ministers. And
thus you spread the fragrance of purity and of holiness in these
times of great perversion.
k Apostles of the last times, because you
are being called to bring down the dew of the merciful love of Jesus
upon a world parched by the inability to love and menaced more and
more with hatred, violence and war.
l Apostles of the last times, because you
must announce the closely approaching return of Jesus in glory, who
will lead humanity into the new times, when at last there will be
seen new heavens and a new earth.
m Proclaim to all his forthcoming return:
`Maranatha! Come, Lord Jesus!' " (cf. Rev 22:20)

The Holy Night
The Mystery of This Night
a "Live with me, in prayer and
expectation, the mystery of this night. Beloved children,
enter into the heavenly garden of my Immaculate Heart, to relish all
the joy and the immense blessedness of this event.
b `When the fullness of time had come.' (Gal
4:4) Time, in its unfolding, is directed to that moment from the
beginning, from eternity, in the mind of the Father, from the time
when the Lord created the universe, from the time when the earth
became a privileged garden for the man, raised to a particular
communion with God, from the time when, due to the fall of the first
parents, even creation itself became subjected to frailty and the
earth began to produce thorns and thistles for man, now subjected to
bitter trials and continuous sufferings.
c `I will put enmity between you and the Woman;
between your offspring and hers. She will crush your head.' (Gen
3:15) My offspring is the divine Child who is born of me on this holy
night. It is He who is the Conqueror of Satan, because He is the
Incarnate Word of the Father, the sole Mediator between God and
humanity, the one and only Savior and Redeemer.
d By means of Him, the plan of the Father
is reinstated as it was in the beginning. Man once again reflects the
glory of the living God, and all the universe is wondrously ordained
to proclaim the perfect glory of its Lord.
e `God sent forth his Son.' (Gal 4:4) This
holy night is a response to the profound aspirations of all those who
have lived in the hope and the prayerful expectation of this moment.
It is the fullness of time because it condenses within itself the
ardent expectation of all history: of Adam, of Abraham, of the
patriarchs and the prophets, of the kings and the priests, of the
great and the small. For how many centuries these just ones of Israel
have lived, invoking, hoping for and awaiting this moment.
f `God sent forth his Son.' He is the Word
consubstantial with the Father. He is the Image of his substance. He
is the Splendor of his glory who, on this night, is born in his human
life.
g `Born of a Woman.' (Gal 4:4) He is born
of me, his Virgin Mother. Live with me the ecstasy of these hours.
Enter into my Immaculate Heart to savor all the intensity of this
moment, when time reached its fullness. You are in the heart of
history. Here you can understand all the events of the past. Here you
can give sense and significance to all the events of the future.
h This night becomes a fount of light for humanity
of all times, because the Son who is born of me, on this holy night,
is God-with-you, is Emmanuel, is your Redeemer, is your one and only
Savior.
i Enter then with joy into the mystery of this
night. And open your hearts to the fullness of the blessedness
which comes to you with the fullness of time: `I bring you good news
of a great joy which will come to all the people; for to you is born
this day a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.' (cf. Lk 2:10-11)
j In the mystery of this night, understand
also how the fullness of time is accomplished in the new time which
awaits you, since this first coming of Jesus in the frailty of his
human nature is directed toward his second coming, when He will
appear in the splendor of his divine glory. In this first Christmas,
his divinity is obscured and hidden by his humanity; in his second
birth, the humanity will be veiled over by the splendor of his
divinity.
k Enter then into the mystery of this
night, to open your hearts to hope. Today I bring you good news
of a great joy which will come to all the people. The Lord Jesus,
whom you are contemplating this night in the manger, small and frail,
weeping and totally destitute, is about to return in the splendor of
his divine glory.
l This, his glorious return, will bring to
fulfillment the fullness of time, when He will initiate the new time
of the new heavens and the new earth."

Last Night of the Year
A Sorrowful and Concerned Mother
a "Beloved children, spend the last hours of
this year with me, in prayer and recollection. How many spend these
moments amidst a din of voices and images, which prevent you from
understanding the gravity and the imminent dangers of the time in
which you are living.
b I am a sorrowful and concerned Mother.
c - I am a sorrowful Mother, as I see this
poor humanity, so far away from its Lord, a humanity which, with
great irresponsibility and indifference, is walking along the road of
sin and evil, of impurity and godlessness, of hatred and war.
d How great is the danger of humanity
reaching the point of destroying itself by its own hands! I see your
roads bathed with blood, while violence and hatred hurl themselves
like a terrible hurricane upon the life of families and nations.
e - I am a sorrowful Mother, as I see the
Church, my dearly beloved Daughter, prostrate beneath the cross of a
most painful agony. How many deny and betray her! How many abandon
and condemn her! How many revile and crucify her!
f Among these are even some of my beloved sons:
bishops and priests who repeat and renew the deed of Judas who
betrays, or that of Peter who denies, or of the Apostles who flee out
of cowardice.
g You are called to be the new Johns, who remain
with me beneath the cross upon which the Church is again being
crucified and immolated for the salvation of the world.
h - I am a concerned Mother, because my
extraordinary interventions, which I have carried out in order to
lead you to conversion and salvation, have been neither accepted nor
followed.
i How can you now save yourselves from the great
chastisement which is upon you, if you have refused what the heavenly
Mother has offered you for your salvation?
j - I am a concerned Mother because the
time of the final events has now come. Until now, I have been able to
put off the beginning of the great trial, through the response which
I have received in every part of the world from my littlest children.
But now you must enter into, and live out, the final time of the
great tribulation.
k For these moments, I have raised up everywhere
my Marian Movement of Priests. For this, I have brought this littlest
son of mine to every part of the world, to make you enter, each and
all, into the safe refuge of my Immaculate Heart. Live within this
refuge throughout the time of the great trial which has now come for
all.
l And open your hearts to hope because, as
of this year, you will see my motherly presence among you becoming
ever brighter, more powerful, more frequent and more strongly
experienced.”
