The Lord
My daughter, console Me… My own are working to abolish the Holy Sacrifice of Mass. Today they blaspheme, deceive, offend and condemn Me. The world is a dirty swamp and never has it needed more prayers than in these tragic times. If prayer chains are not carried out and sacrifices offered, the forces of evil already unleashed will tragically destroy this world. Make amends, My daughter, implore Mercy for the sinners and embrace them in your heart. My Love for humanity is so great that I feel obliged to walk downcast among the multitude that strikes Me. I stay day and night in the Tabernacle and I wait and call, in order to embrace all My children. There is not much time left to save souls. Bring them to Me in your prayers. Pray for the infidelity of My consecrated ones, whom I love so much; they do not understand My true presence in their midst…
Be obedient to My divine mandates. I have sent you the Holy Spirit and, through My Grace, each day your understanding will be strengthened and will give wisdom to your knowledge to be able to bring together, with true love, those loose ends on the path that I have laid out for you. Do not waste time on little and sometimes-useless things. Let My Will work in you, so that you may work without fear or anxiety, placing your confidence in My Mercy.
Let My loving knowledge tune you like beautiful instruments with firm, safe strings so that through you My voice will be able to reach many people in melodious harmony and lift their hearts to My Father, to heap love on those in want, to fill the violent with peace and, with its sweet melody, to return the light to those who have been blinded by their error and who want to find their way again.
Tell everyone who loves Me that My light is near. Many will be blinded, but others will be uplifted and absorbed in the magnificence of My Truth. Soon My angel will announce the day and you will see My light in ardent adoration.
What I am going to tell you is important. Seek the Kingdom of God and His Justice before satisfying your desires. I have already said the rest will reach your lives with generosity. Do not you realize that there, in the smallest detail, is the seal of My Love and the fulfillment of My Will over your lives?
Speak, My children, go and preach to the people. This is the only possibility that men have to return. I plead again to all men to change their lives before it is too late. If they do not return to Me, a terrible scourge will burn and purify the world for the many sins that envelop the world.
Nevertheless, those who are persecuted on account of justice and the just souls, have nothing to fear, because I will save them. Humanity is living in times that are worse than those of the great deluge… Flames will fall from Heaven destroying all sinners together with all work of evil; earthquakes, abysses and mountains of red-hot lava will swallow entire towns. There will be floods, electric storms, stormy seas, suicides and plagues. My left hand indicates the Warning and My right hand indicates the Miracle. Pray, My little one, amend the wounds of My Sacred Heart.
I Want the Marian Eucharistic Congress
DH-22
8-Aug-96
The Lord
My little daughter, how much I appreciate your sacrifices because sacrifice and self-denial nourish love. How they lack understanding of the true value of God’s gift and power on souls!
I want you to know that a long time ago, the armies of the West came seven times to My tomb looking for Me. Their efforts were not rewarded, but this did not stop their intensive search for Me. My light opened a path through the storm clouds aroused by the heresies that offended Me in the sixteenth century. Later the revolutionary guillotine that was beheading My priests - heralds of the faith and ministers of the Sacraments - was powerless to put an end to the prestige and sovereignty of the one they called infamous: Me
But, where do I live?… In the Blessed Sacrament, that is how I have been instructing My Church and, therefore, it is not strange that all Catholic worship revolves around this Sacrament of Love, to glorify My Father and His Son, the God-Man.
To say that Eucharistic Congresses are religious meetings held to deal with everything related to the cult of the Eucharist, you already know this. You should know that it was a woman who, in 1881, initiated the idea and propagated it in France with the powerful assistance of My Bishop Segur. Mrs. Tamisier was an indefatigable apostle for the work of public worship of the Blessed Sacrament, a woman, like another woman who was the first to see Me resurrected, like another woman whom I have now chosen to encourage people in My Love and to show them that I am there, loving them and waiting for them…
The principal acts of these Congresses are: the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass concelebrated by the dignitaries of the clergy; the general Communions for children, which present a beautiful spectacle since they look like small white clouds spreading over a valley – they are like angelic choirs that fly about the altar like immaculate doves in a dove-house; and general communions for men, who look like hardened soldiers, paying tribute to their Lord, to whom they have lodged in the innermost depths of their souls. In these scenes of such piety, one remembers the passage of the multiplication of the bread… The general assemblies, when renowned sacred orators and lay lecturers explain magisterially the Eucharistic doctrine and the ways of developing devotion to My Majesty, powerfully incite attention and fervor…
Teach, My children, speak to men about My presence at the altars, tell them about My infinite Love and tell them how much they are missing when they do not receive their God as true nourishment… Also, while making amends to Me, the Eucharistic Congresses receive a shower of favors for the soul, body, time, eternity…
Be careful, they are going to do everything possible to suspend the Congress. Pray a lot and the convents should be instructed in continual prayer for the success of the Congress. Happy are those who promote this sovereign worship; happy are those who strive to make it splendid; happy are those who go to this meeting place and see and feel these wonders. Set an example, My children, evangelize with your lives, give testimony… For men of faith, My Eucharistic form is a gateway to Bethlehem where they adore Me, like the angels, the shepherds and the Magi. For those enlightened with the brilliance of the faith, in each altar where sacrifice is elevated, a new Calvary is raised and with feelings of profound adoration, those words are repeated: "Truly, here is the Son of God."
The abandonment of the visits to My Sacrament of Love, the scarcity of communions, the excessive regard for other people’s opinions for which many are embarrassed to approach the table of the angels, arises from a lack of faith. Because if they would realize, if they were told with conviction that the infinite Majesty of their God - with His exalted courtiers - resides in their temples, men would be anxious, desirous and solicitous to merit the honor and happiness of speaking, receiving and living with their Lord.
Where can we find the remedy for this faltering or lukewarm faith? In the same Form, because it sustains and increases faith. It is virtue that infuses supernatural faith, grace that is the root and foundation of justification, grace that comes with the sacraments and you increase with the reception of them. Nevertheless, if the faithful observe that the priest is a routine celebrant, if they do not notice true fervor and humility at the moment of the Consecration, they will find it hard to believe that this will increase their faith.
Speak about the blind man of Jericho, who not only received the gift of sight but the first thing he saw was Me. Also, in the healing of another blind man, note that the strength of his vision increased as his faith increased; in a similar manner, as men receive communion, they get to know Me more intimately and listen from the depths of their hearts to My supreme teachings. I, being the Teacher, increase the light in the minds of those who receive Me, so that they can penetrate more into the profundity of My doctrine. This doctrine, a seed from Heaven, can fall, as I have indicated, sometimes on fertile soil and will produce a hundred to one, at other times on the road and others among bramble and thorns… Therefore, this growth of faith - sometimes subjective and sometimes objective - depends largely on their cooperation with grace.
Happy are My Apostles, who after their first communion at the Cenacle said: Now we understand everything You tell us… Happy, doubting Thomas, who touching My wounds burst forth into an intense act of faith and love. Happy are the disciples of Emmaus, who recognized the pilgrim as the One who lit their hearts… Happy are the poor and ignorant, according to the world, who through continual contact with Me have learned celestial knowledge, the knowledge which communicates faith, strengthened by the reception of the sacred banquet. These privileged beings not only have faith, but live justly, acquiescing in practice to My orders. Blessed are they! More blessed still are those whose faith in My Sacrament has been rewarded with miracles.
If You Do Not Have Faith, You Cannot See Me
DH-23
10-Aug-96 (In a Prayer Workshop Retreat)
The Lord
Nobody can see My face unless they are on the path of faith. It seems contradictory: if you do not have faith, you cannot see Me and if you do not see Me, your faith will not grow. Why do I speak to you? Why do you find Me when you want to? Because you had faith, because - no matter what happens - your faith will persevere; you know I am here, waiting for you, to reach out My right hand, grasp your tiny hand, and by squeezing it, transmit all My Love to you. The certainty is that I am here, alive and palpitating, waiting for My children; for those for whom My Heart overflows with compassion and Mercy…
Look for Me in your silence, find Me. It is I who have brought you here to teach you how to look for Me and find Me. Assimilate everything you can, do not be distracted as this moment is very important in the road to your preparation. I am the One who is in control once more, now that the grand performance of the world is almost coming to an end.
My little one, I will wait for you there, beside your room, in the small space that is flooded with My presence.
How many children could see Me! All those who always truly want to and ask with faith…
(9:45 The lecturer said that Jesus reproached his parents when He told them that he was carrying out His Father's business.)
The Lord
This is not true, it was not a reproach. I wanted to tell them with much respect, humility and love, not to worry or suffer when they cannot find Me because, being the Son of God, I should have My moments to meet with Him who was more than anybody and anything…
(He spoke of when Jesus said that it was His Mother and brothers who fulfilled his wishes.)
The Lord
I said that all those who fulfilled My Father's Wishes were My Mother and My brother, because My Mother nurtured My being. Everyone can be My Mother and My brothers, all of you are the fertile womb of My Mother.
Account by Catalina
Just as I was starting my breakfast, through the dining room window, I see something that is moving or obscures. I was dumbfounded. It is St. Michael the Archangel; he does not tell me who he is, but I know. I look at everyone but no one seems to have noticed so I continued looking. He appears and disappears as if he were going from window to window. He is very tall and looks like Father Marcos, but blonder and with long, curly hair that fell to his shoulders. He looks at me and smiles. In his left hand he has a lance or a saber, something that shines brightly. He is dressed all in white with a short skirt, sandals or boots laced up to the knees. All his chest is brilliant like rays, his clothes are white but phosphorescent, like the Virgin's veil. He has a green belt or cord with something golden on it (I could not tell if it was a buckle or something else). He is beautiful, majestic. I want to speak but I am unable to say anything. He raises his right hand (which up to now has been over his heart) he makes a sign to keep silent shhh!… It seemed to me like a very humorous gesture. His wings are immense and I do not know how the wings do not make a noise when they move. I wrote to Hugo and Neiza after he had left. [Catalina was in a meeting and wrote a little note to Hugo and Neiza after the Angel left, and had passed it to them.] They looked at me with something between incredulity and mockery. I told myself: It is best to keep quiet and say nothing more.
I went to the Oratory after breakfast and asked Our Lord why I was the only one to see that. Silence, He does not say anything…
My Father's Love Is Given Freely
DH-24
10-Aug-96
The Lord
(The lecturer said that when Jesus was an adolescent He began to comprehend and accept what He saw from His Father.)
The truth was not discovered in My adolescence, I began comprehending and accepting from the moment at which My Father decided to let Me go from Him to become the Son of Man… the God-Man.
And My Father's Love is not merited; it is given freely.
(The lecturer repeats this at the same time as I am writing these same words. Thank you, Lord!)
Heaven, Purgatory and Hell Exist
DH-25
10-Aug-96 (In an Encounter Retreat)
The Lord
These words that have hurt you today are words that are in the mouths of the majority of My children. I spoke to you about Heaven, leave them with their errors and their blindness (they said that Heaven is God, it is not a place). It is not bad for them to say this, but it is not the way to attract people who are still afraid to leave this world. Heaven, Purgatory and Hell exist. Do I not say this in the Gospels? How they enjoy changing My Words!
Do not get upset with the Theologians. Theology is necessary. Nevertheless the heart lives and expands in its sentiment and in its divine possession without looking for a reason why it loves.
For all My children who work for My Kingdom and for My Father's Glory, tell them that I, their God, thank them, that I need them and all of you. Be like Me! Complete love for everyone.
My children, wish with all your faith to possess more faith, greater generosity towards your God; in this way you will receive these valuable graces for the salvation of souls. I have no reason to refuse something that is asked of Me with great fervor.
DH-25.1 I Am in the Silence of Hearts. Uproar, the Profanity of the World, Makes Me Want to Flee
My children clothe yourselves with the armor of your friend and Lord. The only law I give you is to love with your heart and your spirit; be faithful to tradition, in this way you will not sin against the Spirit, because the other one, the spirit that exists in the world today is not the Spirit of Love but of corruption…
Remember, that your God returns a hundred to one… Watch out that the voice of the evil spirit does not dull the voice of the Spirit of Truth… wait for Me and look for Me, find Me always in profound prayer. Offer Me your incapacity to find Me, the abandonment and everything that you find hard to do because of your lack of faith… Your inner life should always serve as a foundation for all apostolic work and should never be postponed for any reason. Does not God come before any person or accomplishment? Do not forget, little ones, that Heaven is only for those who earn it.
Now, My dear daughter, immerse yourself in the immensity of My Love. I am subtly shaping, gathering My flock of love… you will eventually understand…
Learn to Leave Everything Behind When You Have to Meet Me
DH-26
11-Aug-96 (Time: 11:00 hr.)
Account by Catalina
We are before the Blessed Sacrament in the small Chapel beside the dormitory. A sister accompanies me in prayer from the Prayer Group (Neiza). Suddenly I receive a message for her and, afterwards, the Lord tells me: Open your mouth. Without hesitation I do so and a piece of Host appears on my tongue. I squeeze Neiza's hand as she has seen the Host in my mouth. It is not round but more like a triangle… What beauty! Sublime gift, I cannot write or describe it, a beautiful and unexpected physical presence of my God. Blessed be God forever because His Mercy does not abandon me.
A few minutes pass by and a voice comes clearly out of the Blessed Sacrament like a ray: "Tell My little daughter not to feel sad, I am with her at this moment in her heart. Tell her to speak to Me now… Learn to leave everything behind when you have to meet Me. I ask so little and yet much! It is Love!"
Evangelize With Your Saintly Life
DH-27
11-Aug-96 (Time: 15:05 hr.)
The Lord
Beloved daughter, I want you to tell My son that I am extremely pleased that he wishes to come closer to Me, to search for Me, to find Me. I appreciate such efforts; they are not failures; they are not fiascoes... I hear his pleas. I love each one of you as if you were the only person in the world, as if you were My own son. I have many things for you, many presents, and I need both of you to prepare yourselves in a life of prayer, of sacrifice and of dedication.
Evangelize with your saintly lives; bear witness of Me, of your knowledge that My presence is not of yesterday, but of today, of always... Every effort to reach humbleness of heart, to be charitable to others, will be rewarded with the greatest gifts.
It is time to pray for Mercy; tell him that today, I pray for him...
(I finish writing, I hand him the notebook and the lecturer states that Jesus prayed that night of suffering for Peter, instead of himself.)
(Thank you, Lord, for so many gifts; thank you for Your goodness and for Your Love.)
I Am So Hurt by the Indifference of the World
DH-28
11-Aug-96
The Lord
Beloved daughter, peace be with you... The responsibilities are enormous and if all of My sons and daughters knew, they would tremble with fear.
I need to charge you with a special mission. I want you to awaken the sense of responsibility in My children. How long will I have to wait for you to really begin to work? I give thanks, but I take them away from those who do not know how to receive them.
I know that everyone has responsibilities, some more than others. But no one is so busy that they cannot find a few hours to talk to others about My Love and My Mercy towards mankind. When you allow more time to go by, more souls are lost.
I beg you, I command you; but you pray, you ask for forgiveness and then fall into the same temptation again, you let time go by and then you forget My words... There are many, many millions of people who would like to receive something of what you have had. Among them, there are hundreds of virtuous, generous souls, with a true sense of their missionary obligations.
I am not going to complain any more, because I hope that you can be sufficiently honest to say: Truly, I have received grace, but I cannot, I do not have the will to do more than I am doing... Such sincerity will have the strength to soften My pain, My disappointment... You cannot imagine how many gifts you are losing through your blindness, through the hardness of your hearts, through your inability to be sensitive in face of generosity.
My Messages (do not say that they are inspirations) are love; whoever receives them does so with love. But I am talking about receiving them and living by them, not of receiving them without accepting them as a commitment in the heart and in the soul. Each one of you should accept them into your own particular lives, but everyone is obliged to love Me and to make others love Me. How much love do I need to compensate for the loss of so many souls?
My Children, humbly but firmly, I say to you that if you are not willing to drink from the Chalice, leave it so that other souls who are thirstier than you are may drink therefrom and enjoy it.
You complain of the coldness of your families. Those who wish for the true conversion of their families, do not talk about it; evangelize in silence by their own conversion.
Oh, My daughter, I am so tired, so hurt by the indifference of the world. Love Me; make amends; I need your comfort; do not make any plans for the day... I want to rest in your desire for souls...
(I was thinking of my future work with a very difficult person!)
Treat others with mercy, as I do you... Everyone should be treated with mercy... Help, collaborate, but I have My own plans for you.
DH-29
17-Aug-96 (Thursday)
The Lord
Little missionary of pain, My Peace and My Love are with you... Thank you, My child, for giving Me refuge and consolation so that I may rest from the pain that humanity, especially My family, gives Me.
My Mother is here, but she can no longer speak to you. She is leaving the places in which she has worked so intensely for Me. This is not only her decision, but also that of My Father; as always, she makes the Divine Wish the love of her Immaculate Heart.
The negative is the negation of truth; it is the refusal to see the positive. Man, human beings, with their pride, their susceptibility, their faith in trials... who do they think they are to doubt what I am doing with My children? Do they have to be like Thomas to prove that what I am doing is the truth?... Terrible rashness to compete with God! That is how they, who close their hearts to Love when it knocks on the door, lose their way... Do not be afraid; I know what I am saying.
I know that this week the pain was greater... Daughter of Mine, there are so many souls to save and so few who wish to help Me. The photographs were necessary. When the pain is greatest, rest your head on My shoulder; warm yourself in the flame of My Divine Love.
Do you not know that I am aware of what you give Me? However, I give you everything back multiplied a thousandfold, because there is nothing that I would not do for you. I have done everything for the love of you and through you I spread My Grace over the whole nation; you are the channel through which My Love wishes to spread.
Be assured of the correctness of your feelings for the Word of your Lord. You are not wrong, I repeat, rest assured. Be assured that if you were wrong, I Myself would be wrong. Could that be possible?
To live My Messages is to authenticate them... Be happy to suffer for Me. Enjoy, take pleasure in My Love in those precious moments in which the soul feels like it is dying, when it feels the chains of its God. Whatever you teach in My name is covered with My power and sealed with My Love. If this Love, in its purity, does not place you above the wretchedness of this world and cannot, through its action in you, resolve the problems that weigh them down, you are to blame for judging with too much ease the errors of others... This is not for you; I have selected you, and you must respond generously to what I expect of you.
I only ask that you improve your first instincts; there is no reason for you to fight. Just explain what I want; whether others do as I wish or not, it not your responsibility. Dust the dirt from your sandals and go to another town.
Tell them that true knowledge is not fighting, but in opening oneself to the illumination of a love that is lived.
The enemy to be beaten is not outside, but inside. It is not necessary to search for the enemy in others; rather, learn first to know yourselves and then you will win a victory over the enemy. Happy are they who epitomize the spirit of the Redeemer by being charitable.
Thank you for coming; you have brightened the Immaculate Heart of My Mother and Me. I am pouring out our thanks, which will translate into numerous fruits of love and saintliness. Put your problems into My hands. Make sure that it is only sin that upsets you. I open My Heart to those who are just. I open My Arms to the unbelievers, just like I did yesterday, just like I will do tomorrow. I hand over the rebels to My Justice.
Prepare yourself; reread the Messages. I need you to speak in My name, because it is Love that is now imploring the world. Why do you not recognize Me through the words of My children? Make sure that your trust in Me is not weakened by contradictions, by a lack of understanding... Give to the world what it most needs. You are My sweet holocaust of love.
Every work is subject to the criticism of those who are unable to commit themselves to understanding it in depth. I say to you: Be careful; whoever seeks shall find!
Beloved daughter, kiss the ground asking forgiveness for the sins you have committed against the Spirit, because whoever is unable to change their life in accordance with the gifts received through My goodness, without any merit on their part, is guilty of a sin against the Spirit.
My little daughter, give so that I can give to you. Do you not see that I give to you, so that you can give to Me? Make an effort, love of My pain. Something of outstanding quality can only be formed with a little of everything: physical, spiritual, internal, moral... Your defects are just a consequence of a difficult to prove total focus on self. I love your humbly confessed weakness... It does not matter that you do not understand; ask My son, R. [name of person]. You have no idea how many wonderful things I am preparing for you. We will finally be together, working for the glory of My name in the heart of My children.
DH-29.1 I Love You, but Do You Love Me?
I love you, but do you love Me? Then I gave to My children so that they would not be afraid to commit themselves to My work. I will work great things in you and through you... Remain in My Peace and My Love. Flower of My Passion, give Me the sighing of your tender young heart...
What is the Word without Works?
DH-30
19-Aug-96
The Lord
Beloved daughter, be calm, feel My Peace...That is it, stay quiet. Do you love Me?
(Not only do I love you, God, I adore you.)
You have smiled, do not worry... I will remedy everything. When everything is believed lost, that is when the sole hope can be seen. How blind the pleasures and problems of the world have made you! What can words mean without works?
I have placed My Wisdom, My seal on your lips and your soul with love so that you will live only for My things, which are the things of My Father.
(He makes me write a clean copy again, I did not want to and He tells me: Do it, obey).
How much rage in trying to make you be quiet, in silencing My Will! Woe be to he who may be so crazy as to try to trample on what I raise. Disobedience touches My soul! Go to sleep, I watch over you. I break you and bring you back to life!
