God The Father

Once again, I (Maureen) see a Great Flame that I have come to know as the Heart of God the Father. He says:

“Children, the New Year is opening ahead of you with all its present-moment graces and opportunities. This year, make each moment a partnership between your heart and Mine. Take some time each day to study the day’s Message* and apply to your own journey in holiness. Make your relationship with Me more important each day. If each soul would do this, soon the conversion of the heart of the world would be accomplished.”

“Each present moment is your opportunity to change the heart of the world.”

Read Galatians 6:7-10+

Do not be deceived; God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption; but he who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. And let us not grow weary in well-doing, for in due season we shall reap, if we do not lose heart. So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all men, and especially to those who are of the household of faith.

Prophet John Leary – Messages from Our Lord, Jesus Christ – Dec 21-27, 2022 Update

PROPHET JOHN LEARY
http://johnleary.com

Tuesday, December 27, 2022: (St. John the Apostle & Evangelist)

Jesus said: “My son, today you remember the time you went to Ephesus, Turkey where St. John was buried. You had a message from St. John to basically carry on his mission of preparing the people for the coming tribulation of the Antichrist. You have been spreading this word since 1993 in your messages from Me. So keep your soul clean with frequent Confession, and continue to be faithful to Me and to your mission of sharing My messages with the people. It is through your website (johnleary.com) and your books that you are getting My messages out to the people.” (Prepare for the Great Tribulation and the Era of Peace by Queenship Publishing Company)

November 1, 1998: (Message from St. John the apostle)

At Ephesus, Turkey at the place of St. John the apostles’s grave I could see some people at a table and there were golden rays coming out from behind them. St. John said: “My dear son, thank you for coming to the place where I lived for a time. There is a special reason that you have been led here. It is to make the readings of my Scripture come alive in your hearing. I have placed the love of Jesus at the heart of my Gospel, and Jesus even witnessed that I was the apostle who loved Him more than the others. The other significance of your being here is that you are a new apostle, spreading again the message I gave of the things to come. The Book of Revelation I wrote in shaded meanings that were understood by the people of my day. You, my friend, are being directed to give a new urgency to the meaning of the coming time of the Antichrist. It is truly a special time now for the preparation of the coming tribulation. It is important to understand that the time of the Antichrist is about to begin, because the signs foretold in the Scriptures are coming about in your hearing. The tribulation, that I described, is in fact about to take place. Have no fear, as Jesus told you that He will protect the souls of His faithful. But you all will suffer much and require his help to save your souls. A beautiful New Jerusalem is coming as well and this will be a reward for all of those faithful to Jesus. Rejoice in the love that Jesus continues to share with His remnant.”

Monday, December 26, 2022: (St. Stephen)

Jesus said: “My people, today you are celebrating the feast of St. Stephen, who was the first martyr for the faith. He was killed by stoning to death as the people of his day could not win any debate with him. When he died, he begged for the forgiveness of his persecutors. He said: ‘Lord Jesus receive my spirit.’ (Acts 7:59) You also saw My Holy Face in the vision from the Shroud of Turin. As I died, I gave a similar word: ‘Father, into Thy hands I commend My Spirit.’ (Luke 23:46) The Gospel speaks of how My faithful will be facing persecution from those people who do not believe in Me. This is why My faithful will eventually have to seek out My refuges for their protection from the evil ones. Trust in Me that My angels will protect My faithful at My refuges.”

Jesus said: “My son, I thank you for ordering more of your rechargeable batteries and another charger so you can keep using your electric lanterns. You are planning to run your water pump with your solar power. You have practiced your wood fireplace and your kerosene burners for your back up heaters. With all of your cold weather, short supplies of natural gas, and blackouts from the wind on the power lines, you need to be ready with your backup electricity and backup heaters. Keep a check on your carbon monoxide meters with this alternate heating. Check any snow drifts on your exit heater pipes, and place some thermometers around the house to see how well you are heating all the areas of your house. By being ready for lights and heating the house, you are prepared for any more cold weather that could cause any blackouts.”

Sunday, December 25, 2022: (Christmas Day)

Jesus said: “My son, you have visited the Shepherd’s Field where the angel spoke to the shepherds about My birth in a stable. Then many angels gave glory to Me in a song from heaven. You also have seen pictures of the Magi who brought Me gifts for a king in gold, frankincense, and myrrh. You are witnessing My Incarnation as a God-man when I took on a human body with the intention that I would sacrifice My life on the cross to bring salvation to all of those people who accept Me into their lives. I love all of you so much that I will even die to save as many souls as I can. No greater love can a man have that he would offer his life to save another. Rejoice because the angels in heaven are celebrating this commemoration of My birth on earth.”

Jesus said: “My son, I am warning you to be ready for more possible blackouts from more storms like the one you just witnessed. You need to check your water pump that it would work with your solar power. Check your fireplace that it works, and check having more rechargeable batteries that you could buy in the store. If you have a night blackout and your backup solar batteries are working, you could shut down all of your emergency breakers, except your natural gas heater. This would conserve your solar batteries, and still keep you warm with the gas heater working. Be ready to use your wood and kerosene heaters for backup heat. By being ready, you can survive blackouts and even a grid shutdown. Pray to Me and I will provide any needed electricity.”

Saturday, December 24, 2022: (Christmas Eve Mass)

Jesus said: “My people, you just had a terrible storm that seemed to be timed for people traveling to their relatives on My feast of Christmas. I told you to pray your storm prayer and you did not have any power outage. Now you are celebrating My birth with all of your decorations. You also are sharing your gifts among your family and friends. In the vision you remember traveling to Bethlehem, Israel and you visited the cave in the basement of the Church of the Nativity. You saw the exact spot where I was born and it was marked by a star. Rejoice that I came as a God-man to bring salvation to all those souls who will accept Me.”

Friday, December 23, 2022: (St. John of Kanty)

Jesus said: “My people, today in the Gospel you read about the birth of St. John the Baptist who was the last prophet of the Old Testament. He went before Me to herald My coming as he called the people to repent of their sins, and he baptized them in the Jordan River. In the vision you see the gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh given by the Magi fit for the King that I am of the universe. My coming on the earth fulfills the words of the prophets, and it fulfills the promise that a Redeemer would come to take away the sins of the people. I truly did come to sacrifice My life for the redemption of all the sins of mankind. I also opened the gates of heaven for all the souls who were purified and worthy to enter heaven. Rejoice because all of the worthy souls in the past, present, and future have this same promise that they can come to heaven once they are purified.”

Jesus said: “My people, you have heard some people witnessing that Biden was put in office for the very purpose of bringing your country down. This is how the one world people are using Biden to prepare us for the Antichrist’s takeover. Whether you want to believe it or not, Biden is running a dictatorship with the one world people pulling his strings. It started with fixing the ballots by cheating both in the 2020 and the 2022 elections. Once he is in control, he has gone against your border laws that are meant to protect your people from the current planned invasion of illegal immigrants. By having a one party control, the Democrats are bankrupting your country with all of their bogus overspending which has caused your inflation. Biden is destroying your fossil fuel production which you need to run your economy. My people are frustrated in how to take power away from your ruling government. Be patient My people because you will soon have to come to My refuges because the evil ones will try to take away your money and your free speech. When your lives are threatened, I will call you to My refuges. There My angels will defend you from harm and provide for your needs. After My Warning and Conversion, you will be protected at My refuges for a brief reign of the Antichrist. At the proper time I will bring My victory over the evil ones and they will be cast into hell. I will then renew the earth and bring My faithful into My Era of Peace. I will win in the end and My faithful will see a long life in My Era of Peace before you die and come to heaven. This life is a penance to test your trust in Me through all kinds of adversity. But in the end you will see that you will be rewarded for loving Me and following My Commandments.”

Thursday, December 22, 2022:

Jesus said: “My people, I did not come in a kingly way of riches, but I came in a humble stable in Bethlehem, where there was no room for Me at the inn. I want My people to make room for Me in their hearts when I come on Christmas. My Blessed Mother is preparing the way for Me when she recited her Magnificat. You can open your house to your neighbors, if it is needed in a possible blackout with this coming storm. Pray for all of your people that they can hold up in the coming cold and snow. Especially pray for your relatives on the road that they may arrive safely through this storm. This cold could threaten people’s lives if they cannot take the cold in their houses. Have your backup heaters ready in case they are needed. Thank you for praying your storm prayer as you trust in My protection.”

Prayer Group:

Jesus said: “My people, I am warning people in the North to have candles ready for light during a very possible blackout that could be caused by strong winds against your power lines. At the end of your rosaries you could again pray the storm prayer for protection from any blackouts.”

Jesus said: “My people, you are right that you will be seeing more natural disasters as punishment for your abortions and your latest Marriage bill. You saw two hurricanes in Florida, and a recent 6.4 earthquake off the coast of California. Now you are witnessing a bomb cyclone with high winds, rain, ice, and snow that is already canceling many airplane flights. You are seeing these events happening one after another. Pray for My protection that there will not be many deaths from these events.”

Jesus said: “My people, you could see how the Senate Republicans helped to pass the latest $1.7 trillion dollar Omnibus spending bill for the billions of dollars to fund your military and many unknown earmarks in the 4,000 page document. This was unusual not to allow the newly elected Congress to vote on such a large expenditure. This will add more trillions of dollars to your National Debt and it will add to your inflation. The Federal Reserve cannot keep raising interest rates to cut inflation when your Democrat government is adding trillions of dollars to your National Debt. It is a disgrace that your left leaning Republicans are betraying the new Congress coming into office in January, 2023. Your government needs to control the overspending, or your dollar’s value will diminish with runaway inflation.”

Jesus said: “My people, you need to pray for your relatives who are trying to travel home for Christmas. Some of your people are sick from viruses, and they may not be able to share Christmas with you. You need to pray for their safe travel both coming and returning. Events that are this strong could be caused by the HAARP machine right at the time most people are traveling for Christmas. Remember to keep praying your storm prayer which you could pray as many times as you want for safe travel.”

Jesus said: “My people, the one world people are planning to remove your cash money from circulation and replace it with their digital dollar. This digital dollar will be trackable, and these evil ones could cancel your bank accounts if you do not support their plans for the coming Great Reset. This money will eventually be linked with the mark of the beast that I told you not to take. Be prepared to come to My refuges if your bank account is cancelled, or if they try to force the mark of the beast on everyone. I will have My angels protect you on your way to My refuges and at My refuges. Remember to leave your home quickly for My refuge, once I will notify you that it is time to come to My refuges.”

Jesus said: “My people, you will be seeing more faithful priests being put out of the Church. This could be done by some leaders for minor infractions that could even be made up. Once the one world religion is established, it will be difficult to find a proper Mass where the correct words of Consecration are used. A new one world religion Mass will be started, and My faithful should avoid this Mass. This is the abomination of desolation when the new Mass will not include the proper words of Consecration. This will be when I will call My faithful to My refuges that will have the proper words of Consecration.”

Jesus said: “My people, I have been having My refuge builders set up refuges that will be the safe havens for the faithful to come where you will be protected throughout the tribulation of the Antichrist. I will separate My faithful warriors from the evil ones of the world when I will bring My punishment on the earth. The evil ones will be killed and sent to hell. My faithful will be protected at My refuges from My Comet of Chastisement by a shield of My angels. I will then renew the earth and I will bring My faithful into My Era of Peace, and later into heaven. So be patient and trust in My power that My faithful will be in My Era of Peace after My victory over the Antichrist and the evil ones.”

Wednesday, December 21, 2022: (St. Peter Canisius)

Jesus said: “My people, in this vision you see a shadow of Myself on the cross to indicate that My purpose for coming to earth as a God-man, is to bring salvation to all of mankind with My sacrifice on the cross. This is a foreshadowing of My coming at Christmas and even further with My coming return in My victory over the evil ones. I give My people hope amidst all of the killing and destruction by man. I am more powerful than the demons and the one world people. The Antichrist will have a brief reign, but I will sweep the evil ones all away into hell with My justice.”

Jesus said: “My son, you have already prepared your refuge with fuels and solar panels. The panels do not make electricity at night, so you could only use your batteries sparingly so you could keep your natural gas heater working during the night. If necessary you could turn off some of your appliances to keep your heater working. You could also use your kerosene burner or your wood fireplace to provide more heat. You can also use your battery pull-up lights for light or even some candles. People need to have a backup for their electricity, and a means to heat your house if you lose power. My refuge people are ready, but many people may not be so prepared. You may have to temporarily help your neighbors if they are cold and without food. Pray that you can come through this coming storm without any loss of power. You could even pray your storm prayer.”

Public Message from Our Lady of Emmitsburg
To Gianna Talone-Sullivan
January 1, 2023

My dear little children, praised be Jesus.

As we commence a new year allow me to give you words of guidance to help you grow in perfection.

Be docile. Do not allow interior resistance to enter and cause distractions.

Obey the minor details of life.

Be sincere and genuinely care for the well-being of others.

Be honest and live in God’s Truth. Do not count the cost of the sacrifice.

Be loving and think more of others than yourselves. This can be achieved by tempering your ego.

Be prudent by thinking before you speak or act. Measure your words and always do good.

Always prepare as if the day is the last because the soul knows when the time is up. Preparation allows a smooth transition and welcome into the arms of God, the joy of the soul’s restoration.

I am the Mother of Jesus, your Savior and I am your Mother as well. I love you, and I desire all good things for you.

Thank you for your fidelity to prayer and loyalty to my Immaculate Heart and especially, to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus. I am happy to witness your prayers. You are living in a time of confusion, division, and uncertainty. However, remember in darkness there is an anticipation of Joy and Hope.

Praise God and thank Him for all you have because without Him you can do nothing. Repent from sinful ways. His Mercy and Love is immeasurable. You do not have any conception of His Love for you. If He withdrew His Love, you would not exist.

Have Hope and Fortitude for a new beginning! Praise His Glorious works. He will lead you. Thank Him, remain focused on Him and do not walk away.

I bless you with the Omnipotent blessing of the Child Jesus, and thank you for responding to my call.

Ad Deum

“Dear little children, as we begin a New Year, I wish to reiterate to you that I am always with you, holding you in the folds of My Mantle and deep within My Immaculate Heart. The First Chamber of Our United Hearts(2) is My Immaculate Heart, which cleanses and purges the soul of inordinate desires and conduct. Thus, it is your Heavenly Mother who draws you out of the world and into personal holiness. Today, let us celebrate together your ‘yes’ to the Lord’s Call to follow Him by virtue of the cleansing of My Immaculate Heart. My provision to bring you along the path of holiness is omnipotent, as I reign over all the earth.”

Read Luke 1:46-49+

And Mary said, “My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has regarded the low estate of his handmaiden. For behold, henceforth all generations will call me blessed; for he who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name.”

MESSAGE OF THE MOST HOLY VIRGIN MARY
TO LUZ DE MARIA
DECEMBER 27, 2022

Beloved children of My Immaculate Heart:

I COME TO YOU TO BLESS YOU AND TO BRING YOU MY MOTHERLY LOVE.

Faith is indispensable (Mt. 17:20; I Jn. 5:4-5), My children, in order for you to remain in union with My Divine Son. Spiritually prepared, human beings will be able to stand in the midst of all that will come to fulfilment.

I AM SPEAKING TO YOU IN TERMS OF HUMAN TIME…

Prepare yourselves, children, be more spiritual: it is urgent.
Prepare yourselves, children, with what you have at your disposal.
Do not wait to prepare, do it now.

THE TIME OF DARKNESS IS COMING, and yet by keeping the Faith and being fraternal towards one another, My children will manage to help each other.

Beloved children of My Divine Son, war will continue on Earth with greater force, bringing famine, which will spread without stopping.

My little children, in the constant calls to prepare yourselves, the Father’s House has insisted that you should look at the signs and signals that have announced what will become humanity’s sad reality.

Show foresight: cold will come, replacing heat, and heat will replace cold.

Stay alert: tensions between countries will become wars between countries.

Humanity will remain in a constant state of anxiety.

Darkness will come to various countries in the midst of war.

Pray, My children, pray for all humanity.

Pray, My children, pray for India, its people will suffer.

Pray, My children, pray, do not wait; pay attention, children.

Pray, My children, pray that your Faith would grow as events progress.

Pray, My children, pray, pray; earthquakes will continue on a larger scale.

My children:

AS YOUR MOTHER I ADVISE YOU TO STRENGTHEN YOUR FAITH (Eph. 6,16) IN THE MOST HOLY TRINITY, SO THAT YOU WOULD KEEP SILENCE, MEDITATE AND BE PEOPLE IN WHOM THE LOVE OF MY SON REIGNS, IN ORDER THAT YOU WOULD NOT SIN BY HARMING YOUR NEIGHBOR.

Beloved children, being confronted with your own sins will be hard… Do not worsen it by sinning against your neighbor.

My Divine Son suffers because of the weight of humanity’s evil works and behavior.

Be fraternal, help one another, respect one another and pray that you would not fall into sin.

Be creatures of peace and use your tongues to worship the Most Holy Trinity.

As creatures of goodness, adore My Son “in spirit and in truth” (Jn. 4:23-24).

Love your brothers and sisters as My Son and I love them.

Do not fear: “Am I not here who am your Mother?” I am protecting you.

Mother Mary

December 31, 2022 – Our Lord, Jesus Christ, to Anna Marie – “[Pope] Benedict fought long and hard for the Truth, the only Truth: my life, death and resurrection on earth. It was in his grave sufferings that he had completed his passion after mine in the eyes of the world…”

APOSTOLATE OF THE GREEN SCAPULAR
https://greenscapular.org

MESSAGE FROM OUR SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST
“BENEDICT FOUGHT LONG AND HARD FOR THE TRUTH, THE ONLY TRUTH:
MY LIFE, DEATH AND RESURRECTION ON EARTH.”
DECEMBER 31, 2022, SATURDAY @ 1:53 P.M.

Anna Marie: My Lord, are you calling me?

Jesus: Yes my little one.

Anna Marie: My Lord, may I ask you please? Will you bow down and adore God your Holy Eternal Father who is the Alpha and Omega, the Creator of all life, of all that is visible and invisible?

Jesus: Yes dear one, I your Divine Savior, Jesus of Nazareth, will now and will always bow down and adore my Holy Eternal Merciful Father who is the Alpha and Omega, the Creator of all life, of all that is visible and invisible.

Anna Marie: Please speak my Holy Merciful Lord, for your sinful servant is now listening.

Jesus: My dear one, I know it is hard to hear about the passing of a great Pope, Benedict, however, it was time for him to return to my Father’s Kingdom before any other travesty would take place in my Holy Church. [Pope] Benedict fought long and hard for the Truth, the only Truth: my life, death and resurrection on earth. It was in his grave sufferings that he had completed his passion after mine in the eyes of the world. He suffered greatly for my Bride, the Church on earth. Now it is his great glory to be joined with the Holy Saints in Heaven and with my Dearest Mother, that he always loved. Anyone who knew him, knew of his great loving devotion to my Holy Mother, Mary. So be in peace and do not allow your hearts be saddened. He is rejoicing in my Heavenly Fathers’ Kingdom today.

Anna Marie: Yes my Lord, but who do I pray for now, since Pope Benedict was my only Pope?

Jesus: Now it is time to pray for the conversion of Francis and all those who are in direct support of his papacy.

Anna Marie: Yes Jesus. Lord Jesus, please help your suffering children now. Console our hearts that are broken today please.

Jesus: Yes, I am and I will. Be in peace, I am with you ALL until I return to gather you all up as my own. Your Divine Savior, Jesus of Mercy.

Anna Marie: My Lord, do I post this message?

Jesus: Yes please do before midnight.

Anna Marie: Thank you my Holy Merciful Jesus.

New Years Eve – God the Father – “Each of you has some spiritual weakness. Today, as you prepare for the beginning of a new year just hours away, discern what areas of weakness need the most grace.” – Dec 31, 2022

December 31, 2022
7th Day within the Octave of Christmas(1)
God The Father

Once again, I (Maureen) see a Great Flame that I have come to know as the Heart of God the Father. He says:

“Children, tomorrow opens the door on a new year. Therefore, today, spend time in discerning what you should change in your personal relationship with Me so that we could be closer. What areas of your personal holiness are discouraging to you? What distracts you in prayer? How can you change your relationships with others to be more like Holy Love?(2) What virtues do you most need to improve on? What are the areas of pride in your life? Each of you has some spiritual weakness. Today, as you prepare for the beginning of a new year just hours away, discern what areas of weakness need the most grace. Then, pray for that grace to overcome your spiritual weakness.”

Read Galatians 6:7-10+

Do not be deceived; God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption; but he who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. And let us not grow weary in well-doing, for in due season we shall reap, if we do not lose heart. So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all men, and especially to those who are of the household of faith.

Read Colossians 3:12-15+

Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassion, kindness, lowliness, meekness, and patience, forbearing one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in the one body. And be thankful.

2:24 PM

My child, Many ask you where are My words, why is your Savior silent? My child, I am where I have always remained—sitting in the silence of the tabernacle. Awaiting souls in Adoration and yet who comes? I ask My Children, are you seeking your Savior? Are you chasing a world that is being inundated with evil? The tide has turned and My Children need to heed the warnings that are all around them. Satan is seeking to gain as many souls as possible through the means of fear. He has unleashed his companions upon every corner of the earth in order to cause chaos and confusion.

He has inundated the walls of My Church and he will take with him those who have complied to his wickedness. My Children do not be afraid, for as I told Peter, the gates of hell will never prevail against My Church. It is the only place in which heaven and earth unite because I Am present Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity. Those within My Church who have allowed evil to enter in their hearts and have guided many souls down the wrong path, will come to see the errors in their ways.

I come to tell you that great change is beginning to unfold, and where it begins is in My Church, it will funnel throughout the world. Look to the roots of My Church, My Children, because when this false prophet begins to change the prayers of the Mass, the teachings of the magisterium, know this is not of Me, for I Am Jesus. Just as the thunder follows the lightning, there is order in which humanity was created. As the passing of the true pope is shadowed by this false prophet, the changes will come like boxcars and so will the confusion.

Pray the Rosary and seek discernment in all things because your true home is in heaven. Now go forth for I am Jesus, and be at peace, for My Mercy and Justice will prevail.

Christmas, December 25, 2022 – Mary, Our Lady of Medjugorje – “My children, only with Jesus in your life will you not look at restlessness but pray for peace and live in peace, and you will not look at fear, but Jesus, Who frees us from all fears.”

December 25, 2022

“Dear children! Today I am carrying my Son Jesus to you, that you may be His peace and a reflection of the serenity and joy of Heaven. Pray, little children, to be open to receive peace because many hearts are closed to the call of the light which changes hearts. I am with you and I pray for you to open yourselves to receive the King of Peace, Who fills your hearts with warmth and blessing. Thank you for having responded to my call.”

Annual Christmas Message given to visionary, Jakov

The apparition began at 2:18 pm and lasted 8 minutes. Our Lady came with little Jesus in her arms. Through Jakov, Our Lady gave the following message.

December 25, 2022

“Dear children! Today, when the light of Jesus’ birth is illuminating the entire world, in a special way, with Jesus in my arms, I am praying that every heart becomes the stable of Bethlehem in which my Son will be born, so that your lives become the light of His birth. Little children, you live in restlessness and fear. Therefore, little children, today on this day of grace, pray to Jesus to strengthen your faith and become the Ruler of your lives because, my children, only with Jesus in your life will you not look at restlessness but pray for peace and live in peace, and you will not look at fear, but Jesus, Who frees us from all fears. I am your Mother who constantly watches over you and I bless you with my motherly blessing.”

“Dear children, the purpose of these Messages[2] and all the graces attendant to this property[3] is to change hearts from lukewarm to fervent belief in Holy Love.[4] Holy Love is a call to all people and all nations to hasten to their conversion before the Apocalypse.[5] Within this call to conversion is My own call to embrace hearts as a mother during these ambiguous and troubled times. When a soul does not know how to choose or what direction to follow, Holy Love is the compass which keeps them on track of their own personal holiness and salvation. Holy Love transforms the difficult decisions into the obvious choices needed to advance into the Chambers of Our United Hearts.”[6]

“During these times when Satan desperately needs to snatch souls from the path of righteousness, Holy Love is a beacon of delivery from evil. No one who embraces sin is also embracing Holy Love. Each soul needs to pray for honest discernment as to the direction his life is taking.”

Read Ephesians 6:10-17+

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we are not contending against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having fastened the belt of Truth around your waist, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the equipment of the gospel of peace; besides all these, taking the shield of faith, with which you can quench all the flaming darts of the Evil One. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

Read Hebrews 12:14+

Strive for peace with all men, and for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord.

Read Jude 17-22+

But you must remember, beloved, the predictions of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ; they said to you, “In the last time there will be scoffers, following their own ungodly passions.” It is these who set up divisions, worldly people, devoid of the Spirit. But you, beloved, build yourselves up on your most holy faith; pray in the Holy Spirit; keep yourselves in the love of God; wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. And convince some, who doubt;

December 2022 – Article #2 of 2 – My Experiences and Recommendations on Buying Fractional Gold (Goldbacks) – By a soul – MaryRefugeOfSouls

December 30, 2022

Blessings beloved ones,

I, “a soul”, am presenting to followers of this blog, MaryRefugeOfSouls, the second of two articles, which I hope will help people looking to preserve and maintain their wealth in this challenging time when much paper (fiat) money is losing value due to inflation. The first article was about silver rounds, which I hope everyone read and found useful. This second article is about my experiences with fractional gold. My hope is that both articles will help people prepare for these uncertain economic times. Please be sure to read both articles, so you can make the best informed decision for yourself. Please note that I am NOT a financial broker or dealer or tax or legal expert. So, I urge you to investigate further and seek professional help based on your situation. I am just giving you my opinions based on my personal experiences as a Christian believer.

As I shared in my earlier article, I first started out purchasing silver rounds with religious images over 12 years ago. However, over time, I realized that it was important to me to diversify my emergency funds beyond only silver. This is because the spot price for silver ounces seemed so volatile to me (ranging between USD $15 to $50 an ounce at different times, today, it is about USD $25). So, for my peace of mind, I wanted the stability of the spot price of gold, which seemed to simply steadily increase over time.

Of course, being a person of limited means, buying an ounce of gold has always been out of my range (today, the spot price is about USD $1,800 an ounce). Moreover, it has been important to me to purchase gold in smaller, incremental amounts, rather than one ounce pieces. This is because if the economy tanks, I doubt people would be using one ounce gold coins / rounds to buy a loaf of bread and quart of milk. So, I ventured out with purchasing one gram gold bars minted by Valcambi, a private mint based in Switzerland, and later, I added one gram gold bars minted by Perth, the official government mint in Australia. (Today’s price for one gram of gold is about USD $75). I chose the one gram bars from Valcambi and Perth, because they had simple designs that did not offend my Christian sensibility. However, I did eventually stop buying from the Perth mint, because I did not agree with what the Australian government was doing to their people during the Covid lockdowns.

Although I have been blessed at times to be able to buy gold in higher increments, such as 2.5 gram bars and 5 gram bars, etc., I realized that I was doing this only to preserve my wealth and to cease any headaches due to volatile silver spot prices. However, buying one gram gold bars was doing nothing to sanctify my money before God, or could potentially lead to people’s conversions in a future economic downturn. That was the great advantage that I had with purchasing silver rounds with Christian images.

Until today.

My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, I am so excited to share with you all about a gold product that I recently discovered. I think you all will be very interested and I hope this information will help many people.

Now, let me backup and say that fractional gold is any gold product that comes in an incremental amount of less than the standard one troy ounce of gold. So, fractional gold would include pieces that are 1/2 ounce, 1/4 ounce, 1/10 ounce, one gram, etc. Anything that is less than one troy ounce which is equal to 31.1034768 grams. Having the option to purchase gold in such fractional increments is wonderful, because it enables more buyers to be able to own gold on more limited budgets. And I am all for the win of the little guy when it comes to competing with big corporations, big banks, and big-time investors.

Well, today, dear brothers and sisters, I have the pleasure of introducing you all to the “Goldback” (https://www.goldback.com). Goldbacks are similar in concept to banknotes, such as the Federal Reserve note known as the US dollar, however, they are not paper (fiat) currency. Rather, goldbacks are described as the “world’s first physical, interchangeable, gold money, that is designed to accommodate even small transactions”. And when talking about small transactions, this is a literal description, because today’s value of one goldback is about USD $3.90 (about the cost of a cup of coffee). It solves the problem of making gold easily spend-able and useable for actual barter. They look similar in size to banknotes, such as the US dollar. However, they have small increments of gold actually embedded within the note. So, they are definitely NOT any type of paper currency. They hold intrinsic value because they consist of actual gold!

Goldbacks come in the following denominations:

1 Goldback (equals 1/1000th ounce of gold)
5 Goldback (5/1000th ounce of gold)
10 Goldback (10/1000th ounce of gold)
25 Goldback (25/1000th ounce of gold)
50 Goldback (50/1000th ounce of gold)

They are recognized as currency in 4 states so far: Utah, Nevada, New Hampshire, and Wyoming. And, in 2023, goldbacks are planned to be rolled out in Alaska, Idaho, and South Dakota. Moreover, goldbacks can be used in any state or country that accepts gold for barter or trade.

I do not live in any of the states that recognize the Goldback as currency so far, but that has not deterred me from stocking up on them. Each state has their own series of designs for their goldbacks, but they are also interchangeable with other states that recognize them. For example, you can use Utah goldbacks in Wyoming, etc. Also, as you can tell from the earlier chart, five 1 Goldbacks equal a 5 Goldback, two 5 Goldbacks equal one 10 Goldback, etc. They are fungible both in terms of the amount of gold within each note, as well as the going EXCHANGE rate. So, for example, if 1 Goldback is worth USD $3.90, then a 5 Goldback is worth 5 times more at USD $19.50.

Note, to figure out the going spot price of the actual amount of gold found in any Goldback, you just divide the spot price for an ounce of gold by 1000. Then, you take that number and multiply it by the denomination of the goldback.

So, for example, if the spot price for gold is USD $1,800 an ounce. Then, 1 Goldback has $1.80 worth of gold embedded in the note, a 5 Goldback has USD $9 worth of gold embedded, a 10 Goldback has USD $18 worth of gold embedded, etc.

The exchange rate is the prevailing AVERAGE of what people are willing to exchange goldbacks at any particular time in monetary or barter situations in the different states. Whereas the cost of purchasing goldbacks is typically about double the amount of gold embedded within the note. So, for example, 1 Goldback might have USD $1.80 worth of embedded gold, a purchase price of USD $3.60 from a currency dealer, and an average exchange rate of $3.90 between people and businesses accepting goldbacks. However, people are often willing to exchange goldbacks for much more because they are so much better to possess over paper currency, since they are sound money and have intrinsic value as a gold product.

Now, we are getting to the most exciting part. Most of the designs for the different goldbacks have Christian and liberty influences. For example, I purchased several 1 Nevada Goldbacks, because they have Our Blessed Mother Mary on them. I also like several of the Wyoming designs, which are based on biblical characters and themes. The 25 Utah Goldback has a pro-life design and the entire New Hampshire series is very patriotic. I was so happy when I discovered this. Finally, a gold fractional that has a low barrier to entry — meaning a lot of people can own gold on limited budgets AND it is a gold product that I would be proud as a Christian to possess and exchange with others as currency. And having the Blessed Mother on my gold is just icing on the cake. Note, I have included the description of the 1 Nevada Goldback below along with the link to the art gallery, so you can see the various designs available so far in the different states.

Also noteworthy, I believe that the availability of goldbacks now is providential. This is because gold is honest money being recognized in the Holy Bible as an acceptable form of monetary exchange between nations, societies, and people. The concept behind goldback currency is certainly a better alternative than digital currency (precursor to the mark of the beast). Honestly, I want nothing to do with any digital currency that may be rolled out by the Federal government. That’s why I believe in owning both gold and silver because I want to maintain my independence and freedom. I want to maintain my options, meaning, my ability to not be enslaved to any draconian system that requires people to give up their rights in order to physically survive.

I believe that goldback currency will help to achieve this goal of independence as an alternative to beast like enslavement. Certainly, people need to be prepared first spiritually, then second, physically with survival food, water, etc. But, as the economy falters and we move into a transitional economic state before the Great Tribulation, if you can prepare beyond these basics, then having an emergency fund of gold and silver has its place in your survival plans. Moreover, having some goldbacks on-hand is something to consider to diversify your exposure risks.

Now, there are several methods of purchasing goldbacks. If you want to buy goldbacks right away, the best way is through a reputable currency dealer. I have found that these three companies give good purchase rates for their goldbacks: Defy The Grid, Finest Known, and Money Metals. Others can be found on this list: https://www.goldback.com/where-to-buy-goldbacks Personally, I have used Defy The Grid in the past and have found them to be a very honest dealer with a quick turnaround speed in getting their products shipped to you. I also have been impressed by the knowledge I have gained in reading various articles about gold and silver on the website for Money Metals. They certainly go out of their way to help people learn about the bullion markets.

Finally, I want to tell you a little about Alpine Gold / United Precious Metals Association (UPMA) (https://upma.org). Alpine Gold is a company owned by Goldbacks, Inc., the actual company that produces and promotes goldbacks for the various states. Both are located in Utah and they are both an excellent company to deal with. I have an account with United Precious Metals Association (UPMA), which is owned by Alpine Gold and it is the method I use to buy goldbacks at the best price. This is because UPMA does NOT add a premium to their goldbacks, meaning they are sold at wholesale costs. Note, goldbacks are available to international buyers and they do ship goldbacks globally. UPMA has over 40,000 members so far and they are expanding their membership.

There are also several advantages to owning an UPMA account. Besides purchasing goldbacks at wholesale prices, you can also purchase goldbacks on a monthly subscription at wholesale prices as well. You can also leave the goldbacks in your account at their vault and their reserve is kept at 100% (fully backed by goldbacks) all the time. This means that their vault is not a Ponzi scheme / derivative nightmare and you will always have access to your money. Also, if you own a goldback account, it has no fees associated with it — it is absolutely free to store your goldbacks at the vault until you want them. Then, once you want your goldbacks, you can specify the exact number, series, and denominations you want your currency in — no problem!

The only downside to a UPMA account is that it can take a bit of time for a deposit to clear, especially, if you do a bank / credit union ACH transfer, etc., to purchase new goldbacks. So, if you want immediate access to your goldbacks, it is best to fund the account by bank / credit union cashier’s check or money order. You can also exchange your existing gold and silver products for new goldbacks. Also, you can place your existing gold and silver products in the vault at UPMA for a reasonable fee, as well as buy directly through Alpine Gold more US Gold and Silver Eagle Coins for your UPMA account.

Also, you can make additional money on your goldback account through their lease option, as well as use their VISA debit card for a reasonable monthly fee if you want to use sound money in your daily money transactions. Note, you can always put the VISA debit card on hold so you do not get charged the monthly fee if you are not using the card. It works as a preload debit card needing only USD $50 minimum to use from your goldback account. It is my understanding that the VISA debit card can be used by international owners of UPMA accounts and does not require a financial background credit check.

If having an UPMA account appeals to you, please visit their website for more information. https://upma.org/

Also, this is my only “plug” for this blog, MaryRefugeOfSouls. If you decide to sign up up for an UPMA account, here is my referral link. It does NOT cost you anything more to sign up using my referral link – so, it is absolutely free for you — however, I will make a small commission that I will use to support this blog, MaryRefugeOfSouls. Thank you for considering this. https://member.upma.org/?referral=232391418801860196

I truly hope that I have helped many people through these past two articles. Be sure to watch the videos, especially, the interesting interview by Mike Adams of Jeremy Cordon, the founder and creator of Goldbacks. It is worth the time.

God bless,
a soul

DESCRIPTION
Goldback Art Gallery: https://www.goldback.com/goldback-art-gallery

1 Nevada Goldback
Caritas (Charity)

Caritas, or Charity, is the Virtue beautifully featured on Nevada’s 1 Goldback Denomination. This is her first appearance on a Goldback Design, and is notably patterned after a depiction of Mary, the mother of Jesus, in St. Augustine’s Catholic Church in Austin, Nevada. Catholicism is Nevada’s most dominant religion and St. Augustine’s is the oldest Catholic Church building in the state. Like all Goldback designs, the art contains many levels of symbolism. Some major symbols of Charity featured include: the Sierra Nevada Lily, which is in the container below Mary’s feet to the right; the Mary Magdalene Rose, in the container on the left; cherubs crowning Mary and Burning Hearts to either side of her; Charity’s lit candle in her hand, and Nevada’s sun, rising over the mountains seen through the window behind her.

The window, the candlestick in the right corner of the window sill and the columns on each side of the design, are each inspired from St. Mary of the Mountains Catholic Cathedral in Virginia City, (now, Saint Mary in the Mountains Catholic Church & Museum), which was also an inspiration for this artwork. The window below Mary’s dress hides the word “Love”, the symbol of a square, a compass, a wagon wheel, and rosary beads. The viewer will also note the ash tree, symbolizing marriage and Las Vegas’s status as the marriage capital of the world; and a family of ring-necked pheasants, which showcase the selfless acts of nurture and protecting their family and young.

5th Day within the Octave of Christmas(1)
God The Father

Once again, I (Maureen) see a Great Flame that I have come to know as the Heart of God the Father. He says:

“The choices people make are governed by their love and respect for Me and My Commandments.(2) If a person holds disdain in his heart for anyone else, then he needs to seek My Help in resolving it. That is his Christian duty and I will hold him responsible for it at his judgment. Holy Love(3) dictates that you love and respect all others, not just the ones you agree with. Communication is the key to a friendly relationship. If you cannot listen to one another, you are not open to Holy Love. The same holds true if you close your heart to sharing information with another. Holy Love is patient and kind with all others and can selflessly see how his words and actions affect others.”

Read 1 Corinthians 13:4-7+

Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful; it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

December 29, 2022

Blessings beloved ones,

I, “a soul”, am presenting to followers of this blog, MaryRefugeOfSouls, the first of two articles, which I hope will help people looking to preserve and maintain their wealth in this challenging time when much paper (fiat) money is losing value due to inflation. This first article is about silver rounds and the next article will be about fractional gold. My hope is that both articles will help people prepare for these uncertain economic times. Please be sure to read both articles, so you can make the best informed decision for yourself. Please note that I am NOT a financial broker or dealer or tax or legal expert. So, I urge you to investigate further and seek professional help based on your situation. I am just giving you my opinions based on my personal experiences as a Christian believer. Note, I make no money and no commission on any of the links in this first article.

As followers may recall, I have written before about Miraculous Medal Medjugorje Silver Rounds offered by Century Silver Exchange (https://www.centurysilver.com). I have bought one ounce silver rounds from Century Silver for over a decade and they are a fantastic, caring Christian company to deal with. The silver spot price has fluctuated a lot during the more than 12 years that I have bought silver rounds. I have seen the silver spot price go between about USD $15 to a high of about USD $50 an ounce. Today’s average is about USD $25. Regardless of how much I have paid for my silver rounds, I have always felt that the rounds were worth the cost, because the holy images found on the rounds “sanctify” the rounds making them “honest money” for when it comes time to use them (when the economy collapses). Today, I have collected several one ounce Miraculous Medal Medjugorje Silver Rounds, usually buying a few rounds one-two times a year. They come in airtight coin tubes, which is very important for keeping silver from oxidation (tarnishing). The rounds that I bought over a decade ago still look as beautiful today (2022).

I did not know how important it is to keep silver in airtight containers until recently. Unfortunately, I made a mistake years ago and bought some Valcambi Combibars — 100 gram bars in silver. Although I paid a good price for them (because silver was much cheaper years ago), I did not realize that they would oxidize in their officially sealed assay holders. So, today, the combibars are showing oxidation and there is no way for me to clean them without breaking the seal. I am really disappointed by this and I do not recommend Valcambi Silver Combibars to anyone. The Valcambi Gold Combibars are OK, because gold does not oxide (tarnish).

I had bought the silver combibars because I wanted silver in smaller increments than one ounce, but they are not worth it in my opinion, unless you know how to properly store them. Also, today, precious metal dealers are commanding about $150 or more for a 100 gram Valcambi Silver Combibar and they only have about $100 actual value of silver. So, you are paying about a $50 premium for the convenience of having a 100 gram silver bar divisible into smaller one gram increments. It is simply not worth it, especially with the oxidation issues.

Instead, if you are looking for silver in smaller increments – either 1/2 ounce, 1/4 ounce, or 1/10 ounce, you can purchase up to 10 of each at a time in Miraculous Medal Medjugorje Silver Rounds on the Century Silver Exchange website. They will come in airtight coin tubes and yes, the fractional rounds that I bought several years ago still look beautiful. The only reason that I ventured out with buying the Valcambi Silver Combibars is because I was trying to get a better value for my dollar, but my oxidation issues prove I was buying the bars for the “wrong” reason. Clearly, if possible, it is far better to get silver with holy images, which sanctify your wealth and might one day result in a person’s conversion.

Early on, when I was first starting out, I did buy several 1/10 silver ounces with a US Walking Liberty design from a different mint and kept them in airtight coin tubes. These smaller rounds also look very nice today, but they are also stamped with the words, “In God We Trust”. So, I do believe that if you want silver in smaller incremental amounts, it is important to recognize God somehow in the design. A definite lesson learned for me!

When I was first starting out over a decade ago in buying silver rounds, there really were not a lot of choices for Christian designs on silver. Basically, the only cost-effective choice was the Miraculous Medal Medjugorje Silver Rounds. However, today (2022), there more options on the bullion market.

In this article, I want to introduce you all to the Scottsdale Mint in Arizona, USA (https://www.scottsdalemint.com). I want to recommend them for both their “Jesus” coin collection and their “stacker” rounds and bars. First, let me discuss their Jesus coins. Their Jesus coins are actual legal tender (currency) in the country of Samoa. Note, Samoa is different from American Samoa, which is an official territory of the USA. In contrast, the country of Samoa broke away from New Zealand and used to be known as Western Samoa until 1997. It is a very Christian island nation and it shows in their money, especially, with having Our Lord, Jesus Christ, on their coins.

Minted by Scottsdale, their Jesus coins are notable for three reasons. One, the Jesus one ounce and 1/2 ounce silver coins are cheaper to buy than the equivalent Miraculous Medal Medjugorje Silver Rounds. Two, you can buy the Jesus coins in gold. And three, a significant portion of each coin is donated to charity, especially, benefiting African children. I do know with the Miraculous Medal Medjugorje Silver Rounds, a portion benefits the Caritas Community in Alabama, USA, which I believe in supporting as the world’s largest Medjugorje apostolate. However, the exact amount that Caritas receives is not disclosed online. In contrast, the exact USD given to charity by Scottsdale Mint for each coin can be found on their website. It varies depending on the coin increment and precious metal.

Besides the Jesus coins, the Scottsdale Mint also produces their “stacker” silver rounds and bars. I like them, because their mascot is a lion with a crown — definitely, a subtle nod to Christianity, the Lion of Judah, Our Lord, Jesus Christ. They come in increments of 100 gram, 2 ounce, and 5 ounce silver rounds, as well as 10 ounce, one kilo, and 100 ounce silver bars. The silver rounds and bars are called, stackers, because you can inter-mix them, as you do not need the same kind for them to “lock” together creating a stack. So, all the different rounds will stack together, likewise, with the silver bars.

Depending on the quantity, you may receive the silver rounds in coin flips, coin capsules, or coin tubes. Make sure they are airtight, otherwise, you may need to buy separate airtight containers for the silver rounds, or you may need to store the larger bars with a dehumidifying crystal which will slow down oxidation. I have found that the company called SD Bullion (https://sdbullion.com) is a good choice for fair prices on silver rounds / bars from Scottsdale Mint, as well as for coin containers, dehumidifying crystals, etc. You can also purchase coins / rounds / bars directly from Scottsdale Mint. Both companies will cater to international buyers and ship outside the US.

In closing, I want to address why I believe it is important to prepare monetarily now. Clearly, everyone is concerned as our world economy seems to be imploding and the costs of goods and services is escalating. Owning gold and silver is an excellent hedge when paper money loses it value, especially, when an economy is collapsing. I believe in owning both for many reasons. Firstly, both gold and silver are sound money, having been used as currency by governments and nations for thousands of years. It is also biblical being recognized in Sacred Scriptures as honest money.

Owning gold and silver also gives peace of mind when paper (fiat) currency gets devalued which earns less purchasing power over time. During times of trouble, gold and silver naturally increase in value while paper currency falls in value. It has intrinsic value, as once you have a gold or silver piece, it maintains its weight and purity. Meanwhile, paper currency can be ripped apart, burned, or destroyed. Paper is as plentiful as trees, while there is decreasing finite amounts of gold and silver in various mines in the world. Paper currency is only as valuable as how many people believe in its perceived value. But, if people loose confidence in it, paper currency becomes worthless – sometimes overnight.

Also, it is good to own both a mix of gold and silver, because while gold is sometimes confiscated by governments in a currency crisis, less so with silver. Also, silver is at an excellent buying price compared to gold. Currently (2022), the spot price for an ounce of gold is about USD $1,800 versus the spot price for an ounce of silver is about USD $25. Historically, though, the ratio has been 17 ounces of silver equaling one ounce of gold. So, hypothetically, if the economy were to collapse, if gold simply maintained its value, silver might increase to USD $105 an ounce. However, that is clearly, a very conservative estimate. For example, at one time in ancient Eypgt, 3 ounces of silver equalled one ounce of gold. So, I believe it is a good idea to own both gold and silver, because both have the potential to significantly increase resulting in preserving your purchasing power and hard-earned wealth.

Finally, I want to add that owning silver in smaller increments like 1/2, 1/4, and 1/10 ounce rounds is also a good idea, because while silver is a good value now, if it increases significantly per ounce, you will need smaller increments to pay for common household goods and services. Currently, I only invest in silver rounds and silver bars that are 0.999% in purity. I do not invest in US pre-1965 silver coins, which are about 90% in purity. This is simply because it is easier for me to keep track of what I own in silver ounces and grams. Honestly, I do not know much about the US silver coin market, but if I ever have the time to learn more and invest in US pre-1965 silver coins, I will update you all with my thoughts. Meanwhile, for me, having 0.999% silver rounds and bars are the best method.

Thank you for considering my words. I hope that this article proves helpful to you all.

God bless,
a soul

Further Notes:

  • Spot price is the asking price for a precious metal on the international currency / commodity markets. Typically, precious metal dealers and exchanges will add a premium above the spot price so they can cover mint manufacturing costs, insurance, etc., and to earn a profit. So, for example, while the spot price for an ounce of silver might be USD $25, the buyer will likely pay $30 or more for the finished coin or round.
  • Coins typically have more valuable because they are backed as currency by a recognized government. However, a one ounce coin and a one ounce round with 0.999% purity have exactly the same amount of gold or silver in the pieces. So, minted rounds can have the best cost value over minted coins, because they can be cheaper to buy for the same content of gold or silver. Note, silver rounds can also cost more if they are minted and sold as collectibles.
  • Both gold and silver are measured in units of troy ounces and grams. Troy ounces are not the same as the avoirdupois ounce, which is the United States customary and British imperial ounce. A troy ounce weighs more than an avoirdupois ounce.
  • One troy ounce equals 31.1034768 grams. 100 grams equals 3.21507466 troy ounces.
  • One avoirdupois ounce equals 28.349523125 grams. Copper is often measured in avoirdupois ounces. I do not recommend copper as an investment due to oxidation issues.
  • Oftentimes, mints will add 1/100th of an ounce more gold or silver to their products, so they will measure at least the minimum necessary to meet or exceed standards for international trading. So, for example, a troy ounce will be at least 31.1034768 grams worth of gold or silver, but usually a 1/100th more. Same, for products measured in grams, etc.

Saint Michael Archangel to Luz de Maria – “In commemorating the Birth of Our King and Lord Jesus Christ, every human being may place their whole physical and spiritual being before this Divine Child…” – Dec 23, 2022

MESSAGE OF SAINT MICHAEL THE ARCHANGEL
TO LUZ DE MARIA
DECEMBER 23, 2022

Beloved People of Our King and Lord Jesus Christ:

I am sent by the Most Holy Trinity to reach the heart of all humanity who, as God’s People, must save souls.

IN COMMEMORATING THE BIRTH OF OUR KING AND LORD JESUS CHRIST EVERY HUMAN BEING MAY PLACE THEIR WHOLE PHYSICAL AND SPIRITUAL BEING BEFORE THIS DIVINE CHILD, SO THAT WITH A PERSON’S FERVENT DESIRE, THEY WOULD BE TRANSFORMED BY LOVE, TRUTH, GOODNESS, CHARITY AND ALL THE GIFTS AND VIRTUES WITH WHICH THE INFANT JESUS ADORNS HIS CHILDREN.

Children of Our King and Lord Jesus Christ, humanity continues living in a chaos of unstoppable violence that spreads from one person to another, sometimes consenting to it without knowing why, but merely in order to imitate their brothers’ behavior.

THIS IS THE INTENTION OF THE POWERFUL: to see to it that the human race would self-destruct in terms of morality, society, spirituality, food and economics, so that, due to such a weight of inappropriate acts, human beings would renounce the Most Holy Trinity, Our Queen and Mother, and despise everything that reminds them of the Divine, blaming God for everything that happens.

AS WE COMMEMORATE THE NATIVITY OF THE INFANT JESUS, EVIL IS ASSAULTING HUMANITY MORE FORCEFULLY AT THIS TIME THAN IN THE PAST, IN VIEW OF THE PROXIMITY OF WHAT OUR QUEEN AND MOTHER HAS BEEN WARNING YOU ABOUT FOR SO LONG.

It is human beings who have given free rein to their human will, going down various wrong paths that have led them to this moment.

People of Our King and Lord Jesus Christ:

AS WE COMMEMORATE THE NATIVITY, THE AFFAIRS OF MEN DO NOT STOP: CONFLICTS CONTINUE, PERSECUTIONS INCREASE, AND THE UNEXPECTED WILL OCCUR DUE TO CONSTANT WARFARE ON THE PART OF EVIL, WHICH HUMANITY IS ALLOWING TO UNDERMINE ITS LIFE.

Pray, pray for Mexico: it will suffer due to nature.

Pray, pray, pray without stopping for Brazil: your brothers and sisters need your prayers.

Pray, pray for strength for all humanity.

Pray, pray for Europe: you urgently need to pray for Europe – it will suffer due to nature and man himself.

You have a rocky road ahead of you…
A single religion will impose itself on humanity, which easily surrenders to innovations.

Human creatures forget that the Cross of Our King and Lord Jesus Christ is impregnated with the Salvation of every human being, and that it is only on the path of Truth and repentance that you can find Salvation.

YOU FORGET THAT OUR QUEEN AND MOTHER DRIVES AWAY THE DEVIL; HE FEARS HER, AND OUR QUEEN AND MOTHER IS ATTENTIVE TO HER SON’S PEOPLE.

You are on a path filled with every temptation, with the snares of evil, with the insinuations of evil, and evil knows that this is the time for it to take its spoils of souls… YOU MUST BE STRONG AND FIRM SO AS NOT TO FALL.

Children of God, remain attentive and do not be careless, because from one moment to the next there may be a conflict planned in advance. Without exposing yourselves in the midst of the strife, each one of you should keep calm and stay where you are until you find a safe opportunity to leave, if you must do so. My Legions are attentively awaiting your calls to come in haste, children of Our King and Lord Jesus Christ.

A GREAT SIGN FROM ON HIGH IS COMING.

Each one of you knows that Divine Protection is over humanity. Divine Mercy is infinite: ask Our King and Lord Jesus Christ for it to penetrate within you, and give Him permission to make of each one of you a new creature, so that you would succeed in overcoming the many trials that humanity has brought upon itself.

ADORE THE INFANT JESUS IN THE MANGER, IN EVERY HOME, IN EVERY PLACE WHERE HE IS CORRECTLY REPRESENTED.

My Legions are caring for each one of you. I bless and protect you with My Sword held high.

St. Michael the Archangel

4th Day within the Octave of Christmas(1)
Blessed Virgin Mary

Blessed Virgin Mary says: “Praise be to Jesus.”

“Children, I wish so much each of you could have knelt with Joseph and Myself next to the manger. There was pure peace, perfect self-detachment in that little stable as we shared the present moment together with My Newborn Son.(2) No worldly concern robbed us of our peace. There was no more cold or foul smells. The small space was filled with a warm light and a pleasant, yet unfamiliar fragrance. There was no inner urging to be somewhere else or to take care of other situations or problems. Such an environment is unimaginable in the world today.”

“Children, the more you fill your hearts with worldly concerns, the more easily you give in to sin. Do not fill your hearts with lack of trust in the Lord’s Provision. His Will for you is perfect and always resolves every situation perfectly.”

Read Romans 8:28+

We know that in everything God works for good with those who love him, who are called according to his purpose.

3rd Day within the Octave of Christmas(1)
God The Father

Once again, I (Maureen) see a Great Flame that I have come to know as the Heart of God the Father. He says:

“Children, allow the spirit of the first Christmas to stay alive in your hearts throughout the year by praying often during your working hours. This shows Satan that you belong to Me and have chosen to be Mine. It is in this way I can lead you and guide you according to My Will. You will recognize Me if you choose to stay close to Me.”

“Anything or anyone which opposes prayer is not from Me, but from evil. Remember this as your day opens before you.”

Read Philippians 4:4-7+

Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice. Let all Men know your forbearance. The Lord is at hand. Have no anxiety about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, will keep your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

2nd Day within the Octave of Christmas(1)
God The Father

Once again, I (Maureen) see a Great Flame that I have come to know as the Heart of God the Father. He says:

“Children, if you are joyful and at peace today it is because you based your celebration of Christmas on Jesus’ Birth. Sometimes, you try so hard to please others and you are unsuccessful. My Son(2) and I reciprocate all your efforts to please Us by placing joy and peace in your hearts. Concentrate upon Our Joy and Acceptance of your loving efforts and you will be at peace as you will be of good will. Pray for the needs of the poor who are so appreciative of your smallest efforts.”

Read Luke 2:13-14+

And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among men with whom he is pleased!”

Christmas Day
God The Father

Once again, I (Maureen) see a Great Flame that I have come to know as the Heart of God the Father. He says:

“My children, today, as you celebrate the Birth of the Lord,(1) realize that every present moment is a special gift from Me to you. Perhaps the moment opens the doorway to a deeper conversion experience. Perhaps the present moves you to forgiveness of someone in the past – even yourself and some sins you committed before your conversion. The present may hold the grace for you for a deeper understanding of My Love for you. It may hold the grace of a way out of difficulties and coming into My Embrace. The present moment is My Gift to each of you on this Christmas Day. Pray to recognize its effects in your life as each day wears on.”

Read Galatians 6:7-10+

Do not be deceived; God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption; but he who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. And let us not grow weary in well-doing, for in due season we shall reap, if we do not lose heart. So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all men, and especially to those who are of the household of faith.

Christmas Eve
St. Joseph

St Joseph says:

“Praise be to Jesus.”

“As the Holy Mother(1) and I progressed along our journey towards Bethlehem, I did all I could think of to make Her more comfortable – cooler in the midday sun – warmer at night. She never complained, but I knew Her needs without Her speaking them. Our disappointment at finding lack of suitable dwelling when we reached Bethlehem was surrendered to God the Father in trustful love. We did not fear God’s Plan for us. We waited for its unfolding. God sent us the grace to do so.”

“This is the grace each soul needs to pray for in the world today. Pray against Satan’s discouragement. Pray against unreliable fearful anticipation of the future. Wait for the friendship of grace.”

Read Luke 2:6-7+

And while they were there, the time came for her to be delivered. And she gave birth to her first-born son and wrapped him in swaddling cloths, and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn.
