More of Mary’s Words

Mary explains two ways to save the soul are through prayer and conversion. “Prayer is both the means and the weapon, the primary one being the Rosary…recite the Holy Rosary, and let the Lord see that with it goes your conversion. The Sacred Heart of Jesus will give you abundant blessings…That is why I ask you to reflect. Do not delay, for time begins to end, and there will be no more room for him who would be late.”

Our Lord’s Words

“Today I warn the world, for the world is not aware: souls are in danger. Many are lost. Few will find salvation unless they accept me as their Savior. My mother must be accepted. My mother must be heard in the totality of her messages. The world must discover the richness she brings to Christians. The children of sin will grow up in sin if their unbelief increases. I want a renewal of the spirit, a detachment from death, and an attachment to life. I have chosen the heart of my mother, so that what I ask will be achieved. Souls will come to me through the means of her Immaculate Heart.”

In her last public message on Feb. 11, 1990, feast of Our Lady of Lourdes, Mary said: “My dear children, I suggest you follow my instructions step by step. Pray. Make reparation, have faith! Blessed are those who look for refuge for their souls in prayer. Blessed are those who make reparation for the grave offenses which my Son receives.”

The survivors will find themselves so desolate that they will envy the dead. The only arms which will remain for you will be the Rosary and the Sign left by My Son. 

Each day recite the prayers of the Rosary. With the Rosary, pray for the Pope, the bishops and priests.”

As the weeks went by, more and more people saw “the Blessed Virgin under the form known as Our Lady of Mount Carmel; others saw her as Our Lady of Grace, others as Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary; but for the most part she appeared as Our Lady of Dolors. Generally, too, she was alone, but sometimes she was accompanied by St. Michael, sometimes by St. Anthony, sometimes by St. Sebastian, and sometimes by troops of angels. Among those who testified to these Apparitions was a well-known scoffer, who received the grace of seeing Our Lady four times in half-an-hour.”

The scene of The Pieta is reenacted for the world to remember the sacrifice that was made for them.

While looking for a missing lamb, Bibiana, attracted by the blaze that emanates from the cave of “Cesa tra Santi” (name of the apparition site), “approaches it, and immediately finds herself immersed in a celestial vision: The Virgin half-kneeling, with her hands extended and his eyes turned to heaven is there, in the act of imploring and offering; at his feet lies Jesus dead covered with blood and sores.”

More words from Our Lady of the Good Event of Purification

…”After the mid-20th Century, the passions will erupt and there will be a total corruption of customs (morals), for Satan will reign almost completely by means of the Masonic sects”…

“They will focus principally on the children in order to sustain this general corruption….It will be difficult to receive the Sacrament of Baptism, and also that of Confirmation… the enemies of Jesus Christ, instigated by the Devil, will steal consecrated hosts from the churches, so that they might profane the Eucharistic Species…

As for the Sacrament of Matrimony… it will be attacked and deeply profaned… The Catholic spirit will rapidly decay; the precious light of the Faith will gradually be extinguished… Added to this will be the effects of secular education, which will be one reason for the death of priestly and religious vocations.

The Sacrament of Holy Orders will be ridiculed, oppressed, and despised… to deviate them from the spirit of their vocation and will corrupt many of them…

Further, in these unhappy times, there will be unbridled luxury, which will ensnare innumerable souls into sin who will be lost. Innocence will almost no longer be found in children, nor modesty in women. In this supreme moment of need of the Church, the one who should speak will fall silent.”
