Promises of Jesus to those who receive the Holy Eucharist in their mouths and not in their hands
Jesus is Emmanuel, God with us, really present in the Holy Eucharist. Before our eyes He is a simple consecrated host, but in the omnipresence of God for the soul and the Spirit He is our God, really present, who comes in a personal way and takes delight when we receive Him with faith.
Equally by the fact that He is God He deserves all our respect, praise and worship, and to receive Him unworthily is cause for our condemnation. (1 Corinthians 11:29)
The Priest has received the unique privilege of touching Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament with his hands, because this is the priestly anointing that has been transmitted to him, that unique dignity of bringing Jesus to the altar is shared only with the Blessed Virgin Mary, who gave life to Jesus, now the Priest gives life to him in every Mass he offers and therefore the privilege of touching him remains with him. But someone other than the Priest cannot touch the body of Christ with his hands, because this is a true sacrilege, it is a way of offending Jesus in his Eucharistic Presence.
Catalina Rivas is a seer born in La Paz Bolivia, she received the stigmata of Jesus in her body and has received mystical gifts that have allowed her to write many books dictated by Jesus. In the book of Jesus in the Passion, Catalina received seventeen promises from Jesus to all those who receive Him in the mouth and not in the hand, because this offends Him, instead receiving Him in the mouth glorifies Him.
But it was not only Catalina Rivas who received this type of instruction, but also many other seers. And in exorcisms the devil speaking under obedience imposed by the Holy Name of Jesus has told the exorcist Father Pellegrino Ernetti OSB that what pleases him most is the desecration of the consecrated hosts.
Let us remember that it is Jesus crucified, body, blood, soul and divinity that we receive, so we must confess our indignity and not touch Him with our hands.
Message dictated to Catalina Rivas, stigmatized seer. (with Imprimatur of Monsignor René Fernández, Archbishop of Cochabamba, Bolivia)
Promises of Jesus, taken from the book Jesus in “The Passion”, dictated to Catalina Rivas to receive Jesus in the mouth, NOT in the hand.
To those who do not receive My Own Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity in their hands, I promise to fill them with My Blessings in their hands, heart, soul and their whole being.
I promise them many more graces in earthly life, and the consequent greater guarantees of salvation and increase of essential and accidental Glory, for all their eternal living with Me in Heaven.
You will feel Me in Communion so fully in your whole being and with such fullness that the natural desire to touch Me will be taken away from you.
If you act in this way, you will receive great graces from Me and great benefits for your whole house.
I promise to those who do what I most desire, special power in their hands against the enemies of the soul, and to many I will give gifts of healing.
I promise that if they do so with perseverance, they will come in all things with greater intensity, seeking only My greatest honor and glory, and I will exalt them especially, all eternity.
I will grant those who, out of love for the fulfillment of all My designs, do not receive Me in their hands, by greater adoration, humility and holy respect, the gift of discernment of spirits with greater intensity.
Their names will be written especially in My Heart, yes, for giving me greater pleasure, receive Holy Communion in the mouth and not in the hand.
I promise that I will increase all your virtues as a reward for the greater humility that comes from never believing your own hands are clean enough to touch Me.
I promise that they will faithfully propagate My Doctrine, and that they will more easily overcome all types of temptations.
Those who receive Me in their mouths and not in their hands will not distance themselves from Me if they do so with due reverence and live in this manner during each one of the days of their lives.
I promise that the door will not be closed to My Love for those who, out of affection for My desires, give Me comfort by always receiving Me on their lips and never in their hands.
If they persevere in this way to please Me more by receiving Communion in their mouths, I promise they will come to work only for My Heart, with My Heart, in My Heart, for My Divine Heart.
I promise to those who honor Me in this way to be very intense and willingly heard by My Heart.
If in this matter, which is so important to Me, they give Me the greatest pleasure, they will always like, out of My Love, to follow My Divine motions, and I will recreate them especially, as proof of My satisfaction in the fact that they always receive Holy Communion in their mouths and never in their hand.
These will always do a great deal of good to souls; on the other hand, those who insist on taking Me in their hands will be hardened in many things towards My Will, and darkened about My own desires, My own preaching and My own teaching.
On the contrary, those who tremble in their hands and do not touch the Sacred Consecrated Form, prepare themselves especially in their whole being, at the hour of receiving Me in communion, to ask Me to be me alone and nothing of them: I promise the grace to reach in a short time the highest Christian perfection, they will seek My Face with more love, they will forget themselves more easily, they will always have My Heart comforted by this gesture, they will receive greater heavenly lights and will have greater joy from My Heart forever and ever.
I promise those who spread these promises:
The gift of the knowledge of hearts.
They will attain exalted glory in Heaven.
They will have a long spiritual life, although not always material, but in a few years, as if they had lived many years of holiness.
I will give great blessings to your family.
The more they spread them, the more I will pour myself into them.
I will make them feel me in an ineffable way, in a growing fullness.
I will not allow them to undertake any undertaking if it is not to my liking.
I will place in their path enough light so that with My abundant assistance, they will avoid evil and do not only what is good, but what pleases Me most.
I will give you still greater graces, countless ones, if you spread them with fervor: consider it a great omission not to make known My promises.
“There are neither 10 nor 20 executioners who destroy My Body, there are many hands that hurt My Body by receiving Communion in the hand; the sacrilegious work of Satan.
“I promise to anyone who prays for My priests the remission of any temporal punishment due, there will be no purgatory for those who are afflicted because of lukewarm priests, but paradise immediately after their last breath.
“As long as man has a moment to live, he still has time to turn to my Mercy and beg for forgiveness… Listen well, if you have a second to live, take advantage of it, because in it you can win eternal life.”
“MY DAUGHTER, HOW COMMUNION IN THE HAND HURTS YOU…
COMMUNION IN THE HAND IS NOT MY WORK, GOD DOES NOT WANT THIS IN HIS CHURCH. THE POPE SETS AN EXAMPLE AND NOBODY PAYS ATTENTION TO THE BISHOPS.
YOU ARE SANCTIFIED WHEN YOU RECEIVE ME IN THE MOUTH AND WORSHIP ME. DO THIS; MAN MUST NOT TOUCH HIS GOD. SATAN LAUGHS AT THIS…OF PROFANING WHAT IS HOLY…GOD HIMSELF PASSING FROM HAND TO HAND MY DAUGHTER…
SOON I WILL MAKE JUSTICE AND WOE TO THOSE WHO TAKE COMMUNION IN THE HAND. HOW MUCH THEY WILL SUFFER FOR THIS, MY DAUGHTER, BECAUSE THEY DID NOT WORSHIP, BECAUSE THEY PROFANED THEIR GOD, WHO WAS GIVEN TO THEM AS FOOD FOR THEIR SOULS. MY LIFE, I BLESS YOU AND YOU THOSE WHO TAKE HOLY COMMUNION IN THE MOUTHS, THOSE WHO CONFESS THEIR SINS, THOSE WHO SACRIFICE THEMSELVES FOR ME AND FOR THEIR BROTHERS.
FIGHT TO SPREAD THE PROMISES OF HOLY COMMUNION, FIGHT FOR ME MY DAUGHTER, YOUR REWARD WILL BE GREAT IN THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN. I LOVE YOU, MY DAUGHTER.”
My dear little children, praised be Jesus! Little ones, God’s Love is endless, and He is merciful. You are preoccupied with many issues, and you are not focusing on Jesus. There is too much emphasis placed on futuristic events. This distraction allows turmoil and fear. Focus on Jesus and Trust in Him. Be the Eucharistic Jesus. Everything else will fall into place at the proper time. I love you, little ones. The Covenant of the Two Hearts is always with you. I bless you in the Name of Jesus. Peace. Thank you for responding to my call. AD DEUM.
I have been asked an important question about the abomination of desolation and the timing of the Great Warning (Illumination of Conscience). So, I am going to answer the question publicly as it profoundly affects people’s preparations for the future. And I want especially the priests and consecrated religious who follow my blog, MaryRefugeOfSouls, to know the answer.
The abomination of desolation will take effect when the consecration prayers for the Most Holy Eucharist are changed by the Catholic hierarchy in the Holy Mass. This means the bread and wine will no longer host (become) the Real Presence of Our Lord, Jesus Christ, because the priests will no longer be using the correct words given by Jesus at the Last Supper for this great miracle to take place on the altars. So, it will be an invalid Mass and no transubstantiation will take place through the priest.
Here are the proper words of consecration for the Most Holy Eucharist:
The Tridentine Mass uses these words: “For this is my body . . . For this is the chalice of my blood of the new and eternal covenant: the mystery of faith: which shall be shed for you and for many unto the remission of sins.”
The Novus Ordo phrases it this way: “This is my body, which will be given up for you . . . This is the cup of my blood, the blood of the new and everlasting covenant. It will be shed for you and for all [Latin, “for many”] so that sins may be forgiven. Do this in memory of me.”
Brothers and sisters, it is my understanding that the travesty of the abomination of desolation will happen BEFORE the Great Warning (Illumination of Conscience) takes place. This is why I did my recent post titled, “Guidance For Priests”, because all holy priests, as well as consecrated religious, need to start preparing now how they will conduct themselves regarding their vocations. According to private revelation, all priests will be asked to attend special retreats by the hierarchy where they will be coerced into accepting the revised consecration prayers. Almost half of all priests will resist the changes and be automatically excommunicated on the day the abomination of desolation is implemented in the Catholic Church. And many of the faithful and priests will be attending Holy Mass in underground churches (homes) due to widespread persecution.
These are all events that will supposedly happen BEFORE the Great Warning. And according to private revelation, at the Great Warning, the hierarchy and priests who implemented these changes in the Catholic Church will stand before Papa God’s wrath as He questions them why they did this to His Divine Son. This holy encounter will NOT bode well for any of them.
So, there are several steps that I suggest people do to prepare for this coming travesty.
Firstly, everyone needs to pray foremost for their diocesan bishops and local parish priests to stay faithful to God in their vocations.
Secondly, the Faithful Remnant should consider ways that they might be able to help their parish priests when the church goes underground.
Thirdly, under the prompting of the Holy Spirit, please share my blog post, “Guidance For Priests” with the priests you know (see link below). It may save their vocation and save their soul. Allow the Holy Spirit to help you know when you should discuss this topic with your priest. Today may not be the appropriate moment, but bookmark the article, as one day you will need it for them.
Fourth, under the prompting of the Holy Spirit, please share these prophecies with any consecrated religious that you may know. Again, you may save their vocations and religious community, and most importantly, save their souls. Allow the Holy Spirit to help you know the appropriate moment to do so.
Five, due to the future Christian persecution and lack of holy priests, you may no longer be able to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation (Confession) from Holy Mother Church. So, all the faithful need to be prepared to stay in a state of grace.
I, “a soul”, recommend TWO METHODS that can be used to stay in a state of grace. I will be sharing more information in the future about these Two Methods, but for now, I briefly share them.
2) Alternatively, I highly suggest that people purchase the “Cross of Forgiveness” that Our Lord, Jesus Christ, imparted to mystic, Marie-Julie Jahenny. The Cross of Forgiveness is meant to be used during the Great Persecution when there is lack of holy priests for Sacramental Confession in the End Times. You simply kiss or touch reverently the Cross of Forgiveness for absolution of sin. The Cross of Forgiveness does not need to be blessed by a priest beforehand. (NOTE, the Cross of Forgiveness IS NOT the Pardon Crucifix — they are two different Sacramentals — do not be confused). Here are some vendors:
And finally, I want to remind Catholics that the seven sacraments are valid in the Eastern Catholic Rites and the Orthodox Church. So, during the Great Persecution when the abomination of desolation takes place in the Roman Catholic Church, you may be able to attend these churches for Holy Mass and Sacramental Confession (so long as the Consecration Prayers for the Blessed Sacrament have not been altered by them as well, etc.).
God bless everyone who reads this article on my blog, MaryRefugeOfSouls.

Jesus said: “My people, the division in My Church will start before the Warning experience comes. I am concerned that many of My faithful could be deceived by a schismatic church that will be teaching heresies and New Age doctrines. My faithful remnant will split away from this schismatic church. When you see heresies about hell is not eternal, or when the priests say you can receive Holy Communion without Confession of sexual sins, then you need to leave that church. When the priest does not use the proper words of Consecration, I will not be present in that Host, and leave that church. You need to have a copy of the Catechism of the Catholic Church by St. John Paul II. This contains all the proper teachings of My Church, so you can discern any heresies being taught in your churches. Eventually, you will not find a proper teaching church, and you will need to come to your homes or prayer groups for a proper Mass from a faithful priest. As the persecution of My faithful endangers your lives, then I will have your guardian angels lead you to My refuges that will be protected by My angels of the refuges. Do not be deceived by clergy who do not teach My proper Word, or who teach heresies, or New Age teachings. My faithful need to be alert to what is taught in the churches. In the end times I will allow the evil ones to take over the churches, but My faithful will be led to My refuges. Trust in Me to be with you in daily Holy Communion at My refuges. This message is to be put out so My faithful are not deceived.”
Tuesday, September 12, 2017 (Most Holy Name of Mary)
Jesus said: “My people, you have just heard Pope Francis give out a new Canon Law that would allow bishops to make changes in the liturgy of the Mass to go into effect on October 1st. I gave you a message about the same time that said when you see changes made to the words of Consecration, then you need to leave that church. Once the words of Consecration are changed from what I gave My apostles, then I will no longer be Present in that Host and Wine. It is very important to keep this tradition of My words of Consecration. This change will be about the time that you will need to come to home Masses, and eventually Masses at My refuges. These changes are more signs that My Warning is coming soon, and the tribulation will follow after. Put your trust and hope in Me that I will never leave you. You will receive daily Holy Communion at My refuges, and you will adore Me in My Real Presence as well.”
Sunday, September 10, 2017
Jesus said: “My son, I am calling you and My other faithful to defend the faith, and reach out to evangelize souls wherever you are sent. I know you are praying to save all the souls of your family, and you have been persistent in praying for them. You could speak out to warn them that they do not have much time left, and they need to see My Light and get close to Me before the Warning comes. Today’s Gospel of going to help someone who is astray, reminds you of your experience with a priest who mentioned three times in his homily that hell was not eternal. You went back to see why he said this, and he said that God’s mercy is greater than hell’s punishment. He also said hell would eventually disappear with all the souls. I pointed you to the Catechism of the Catholic Church where it says that hell is eternal, and I told you to show this to the priest. At another time St. Michael the archangel explained to you that before man was created, he placed Satan and the demons into hell for all eternity. You told the priest again and showed him the Catechism quote, but he refused to change his story. You then were told in a message to go to a higher authority, and you reported this heresy to the local bishop of the Church. My faithful need to speak out against all heresies, no matter who says them. You first go to your brother or sister to correct them one on one, and if they refuse to change, then you go to a higher authority in the Church. This is your duty, and you will save your soul for correcting people. If your brother listens and changes his thinking, then you have won him over to save his soul. If he does not convert, then he will answer to My justice, and he could be lost. Pray for him to change so his soul could be saved. This heresy of hell is not eternal, has some great consequences, because there would be no punishment for sin, and there would have been no need for My death to save your souls from your sins. This heresy is serious, and do not ever believe that hell is not eternal, because hell will always be eternal for those judged to hell.”
June 2023 Month dedicated to the Most Sacred Heart of JESUS
Blessings dearly beloved ones,
In this blog post, I “a soul” would like to share with you, my dear followers of MaryRefugeOfSouls, one of the most remarkable miracles ever recorded on a live broadcast. It is the ACTUAL TRUE VOICE of Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, through a very holy priest, that takes place during the time of Consecration of the Most Holy Eucharist during Holy Mass.
The Holy Mass took place at Battery Park, New York City, as part of the World Marian Peace Regatta, on September 11, 1999. The priestly celebrant is Father Gerard McGinnity, who is a very holy Irish priest and spiritual director of visionary, Christina Gallagher. During the recording, the Holy Voice of Our Lord, Jesus Christ, Is heard TWICE during the Consecration of the Sacred Host and the Most Precious Blood, at the moments when the Eucharistic Species Are lifted up for Presentation to God the Father by the priest.
It is very remarkable because Father McGinnity speaks with an Irish accent, so it is very distinct and very clear when Jesus speaks through him as the Holy Voice of Jesus sounds so different from dear father. Also, right before the two miracles take place, you can witness the Holy Spirit overshadowing him, as dear father trembles holding the Consecrated Host and the Holy Chalice in his hands before Jesus speaks through him.
Truly, these two video recordings should be shared with everyone, as they are certainly an awesome testimony and faith builder in the Real Presence of Our Lord, Jesus Christ, in the Most Holy Eucharist, as well as the authenticity of the Holy Mass found in the Catholic Church, and the importance of devotion to Our Holy Mother, Mary.
Finally, I am including a few links below for those who would like to learn more about dear Father Gerard McGinnity; visionary, Christina Gallagher; as well as a recent TTEN interview involving Catholic author, Dan Lynch, where he discusses that particular World Marian Peace Regatta and how Christina had foretold that the Twin Towers in New York City would be destroyed two years in advance. God bless.

June 13, 2023 Month Dedicated to the Most Sacred Heart of JESUS Saint Joseph, pray for us!
Blessings dearly beloved ones,
Recently, I, “a soul”, was really encouraged by something a dear blog follower said to me. This dear follower has been striving to implement all the holy practices that I have shared with her privately and on this blog, MaryRefugeOfSouls. She told me that they have greatly helped her by increasing her faith and deepening her personal holiness. So, I feel encouraged to share with you all some of the advice that I have imparted to her, so that you, too, may be blessed as well.
First point, I advised her to always face the Holy Tabernacle before she says her prayers. Even if you cannot be physically before Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, at least, spiritually, you can be before Him, by mentally, picturing yourself before Him in the Holy Tabernacle closest to where you are praying. And I know that He delights in people doing this holy practice, because, as God, He knows that mentally and spiritually, you are keeping Him company which He longs for, especially, during nighttime hours, enclosed within the Holy Tabernacle.
Second point, due to time constraints, she cannot spend much time doing Internal Adoration when she receives Jesus in Sacramental Holy Communion. So, I recommended that she commit to doing daily 30 minutes of Internal Adoration by Spiritual Communion at home, in addition to her daily Holy Masses.
Internal Adoration is a holy practice that I encourage people commit to doing during Holy Communion. Basically, it means spending time adoring the Real Presence of Jesus dwelling within your soul at Holy Communion. It is inward-focused prayer where you block out all distractions and outside noise, eyes closed, totally focused on worshipping Jesus within yourself, while continuing to kneel instead of sitting on the pews at the end of Holy Mass. I recommend that people spend at least 15 minutes in Internal Adoration since that is the usual number of minutes it takes for a Consecrated Sacred Host to dissolve within your body. Personally, though, I spend between 30 minutes to 2 hours in Internal Adoration whenever I receive Holy Communion at every Holy Mass that I attend. I also credit Internal Adoration and frequent Sacramental Confession — which I have done for many years — as the reasons for any personal holiness that I may have gained.
Spiritual Communion has the same efficacy (power of graces) as Sacramental Communion, except the Most Holy Eucharist Is invisible, as it is being presented to you by a holy angel who has taken a Consecrated Sacred Host from a nearby Holy Tabernacle at a local church to you. So, you should receive Spiritual Communion as reverently as you receive Sacramental Communion. This means that you acknowledge that the holy angel is presenting the “Body of Christ” to you. You should say, “Lord, I love You” and “Amen”. Then you should stick out your tongue to receive the invisible Most Holy Eucharist; then if you cannot kneel at home, you should sit quietly for 30 minutes or longer, adoring Jesus dwelling within you in Internal Adoration. This is how I practice Spiritual Communion, especially, if I am watching Holy Mass online at home, etc. I have always done the actual physical actions of receiving the Sacred Host whenever I do a Spiritual Communion, not simply saying the prayer. This is because it has always been impressed upon me that an Act of Spiritual Communion Is NO DIFFERENT from an Act of Sacramental Communion. In fact, it may actually require a higher degree of faith, because you are going through all the physical movements, including swallowing the invisible Sacred Host. Oftentimes, I have had very powerful Spiritual Communions, as Jesus will talk to me as soon as the invisible Sacred Host is placed on my tongue. So, honestly, there is no difference for me between both ways of receiving Holy Communion from God, either through the hands of a priest or a holy angel.
Third point, I reminded her of how I often say my prayer intentions, especially, morning time and nighttime offering, during the Consecration of the Blessed Sacrament at Holy Mass, before Spiritual Communion, and before praying the Most Holy Rosary and Divine Mercy Chaplet, etc. I say:
“Lord, I pray for all the intentions of Our Holy Mother Mary, in union with all the graces earned by Jesus and Mary in their earthly lives, in union with all the prayers and graces earned by Saint Joseph and the Communion of Saints, in union with Saint Michael Archangel and all the guardian angels of the world, through the power of EVERY Consecrated Host in EVERY Holy Tabernacle throughout the world, through all the graces of the Holy Mass throughout time and eternity. I ask for all these graces to be multiplied to infinity seven times and to wrap the earth fourteen times. I also pray for all the holy intentions of Papa God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, both individually and collectively, as the Most Holy Trinity.”
Of course, I do add other intentions as well. For example, I pray for the unborn infants, the innocence of youth, priests and consecrated religious, poor souls and ghosts, etc., as well as for all those who have prayed and helped me, all people who have asked me for prayers, and all followers of the blog, MaryRefugeOfSouls (past, present, and future). I also pray to break all curses and that the gates of hell never prevail against Holy Mother Church, etc. I also offer up all my past crosses, sacrifices, and Holy Communions; all my merits earned while in sanctifying grace, all my heartbeats, smiles, laughter, and tears, etc.
However, my foundational prayer is to always pray for ALL the intentions of the Immaculate Heart of Mary and Most Chaste Heart of Saint Joseph. Because whenever you pray in this way, you are praying for everything according to the Divine Will, including your own private intentions for yourself and your loved ones, etc.
Fourth point, I advised her on how to worship Jesus during Holy Communion. It is very common for people to pray with a list of requests to Jesus during Holy Communion. This is very common as people are seeking conversions for their loved ones and have material and spiritual needs. Although petitions and intercession are prayers, which are forms of communication with God and are welcome during Holy Communion, I actually urged her to strive for the higher forms of prayer towards God during Holy Communion. The highest forms of prayer are those of thanksgiving and praise of God. So, loving God for WHO He Is and not WHAT He can give us as our Creator.
I advised her that all petitions and intercessions should be surrendered to God at the moment of reception of Holy Communion. So, to give all her petitions and intercessions to God, so He can handle them according to His Divine Will, and to not take the burden of carrying them back. Note, you should be persistent in praying daily for your intentions, but I advised her that the moments of Holy Communion should be focused on praise and worship if she sought higher degrees of holiness.
Therefore, I advised her that whenever her mind begins to wander onto the petitions and intercessions that she had just surrendered to God, that she should repeat, “JESUS, I trust in You!”, as often as she needed to, so she could regain her concentration on Jesus indwelling in her soul during Sacramental and Spiritual Communion. Likewise, whenever her mind begins to wander by worldly distractions during Internal Adoration, that she should repeat, “JESUS, I love You!”, as often as she needed to, in order to regain her focus solely on Jesus during Holy Communion.
Fifth point, people may ask, what are good ways to praise, adore, and worship Our Lord in Holy Communion? Well, one solid method is to take all your surrendered intentions and to turn them into prayers of praise and thanksgivings. So, you may say things like:
“Lord, I praise You for honoring all the intentions of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. I praise You for honoring all the intentions of Saint Joseph and the Communion of Saints. Lord, I praise You for saving the lost souls who died today. I praise You for saving the little unborn martyrs due to abortion. I praise You for all the poor souls admitted from purgatory into Heaven today. I praise You for the grace of Holy Mass and receiving Holy Communion, etc.”
You can also alternate your prayers using the words, thank You. So, you may pray like this:
“Lord, thank You for the gift of prayer. Thank You for the gift of my life and keeping me in a state of grace and humility before You. Thank You for my family members, my loved ones, my friends, etc. Thank you for everyone who has ever blessed me and has ever prayed for me. Thank You for everyone you place in my life – past, present, and future. Thank You for creating mankind and all the generations of my family lineage, etc.”
It is also appropriate to praise and thank God for Acts of His Goodness witnessed throughout Creation. So, you may say things like this:
“Lord, I praise and thank You for salvation history and all Your Acts of Goodness found in Sacred Scriptures, etc.” (Note, you may praise and thank God for individual acts seen in the pages of the Holy Bible. For example, “I praise and thank You for the enduring faith of Abraham, all your divine accomplishments through Moses, imparting Your Ten Commandments, etc.”).
“Lord, I praise and thank You through each and every heartbeat of mankind, through each and every breath of mankind, through all the sorrows and joys of mankind living today. I praise and thank You for every Act of Goodness in Creation, starting with the Supreme Divine Fiat that brought everything and everyone into existence, that sustains us continually in every present moment, and will continue to sustain us until the last creature is formed on earth at the conclusion of time, forever sustaining us throughout all eternity, etc.”
“Lord, I praise and thank You for all the sweet and precious memories I have lived with my family and loved ones. I praise and thank You for Your Mercy and Goodness towards me. I praise and thank You for my continual conversion, my growth in virtues and personal holiness, and my final perseverance in the faith, etc.”
“Lord, I praise and thank You for every creature, the birds, the trees, the flowers, the seas, the valleys and mountains, the sky, the Sun, the moon, the stars, etc. Thank You for the gentle breeze felt across my face, the sweet fragrance of the rose, the joyful laughter of children, the chill of the early hours, the dew on the blades of grass, the song of the doves, the swift flight of birds, the mist felt by the waves in the ocean, the dawn of the morning, the passage of a new day, and the peaceful sleep spent in Your Arms at night, etc.”
And of course, the greatest of the highest forms of prayer are simply found in admiring, adoring, and worshipping Our Lord. So, for example, taking all the Holy Names and holy attributes of God and turning them into prayers of adoration. So, you may pray in this way:
“Lord, I love You, I honor You, I adore You, I bless You, I worship You, I admire You. I glorify You, everything that You Are and everything that You stand for, etc.”
“I love You, Papa God, my Almighty Creator and true King of my heart and my soul. I love You, JESUS, Divine Love Incarnate and Crucified Love, truly living as the Real Presence in the Blessed Sacrament. I love You, Holy Spirit, Divine Lover of my heart, Essence of Purity and Holy Sanctifier of my soul. Most Holy Trinity, I love and adore You, Who Are Thrice Most Holy of all holies, I worship You always, etc.”
“Elohim, I adore You. Yahweh, I adore You. Jehovah, I adore You. Adonai, I adore You. I praise, bless, and glorify Your Holy Name. I praise, bless, and glorify the Holy Name of Your Divine Son, JESUS Christ of Nazareth, whose Holy Name Is above all other names and Whose Holy Name Is adored in all of Heaven, and most terrified and most feared by all those dwelling in hell. JESUS, the Word Incarnate, I praise, bless, and glorify You in all the languages of the world and in all the heavenly tongues of the holy angels, etc.”
“JESUS, I worship You. I worship the sparkle in Your Eyes, the smile upon Your Lips, Your throbbing Heartbeat that aches for final mystical union with my own little heart. I worship every moment of Your earthly life, Your moment of conception, every movement You made and every step You took, every breath You inhaled and exhaled that sustained Your earthly state. I worship Your Most Sacred Wounds and every Most Precious Droplet of Blood that You shed at Calvary as the Savior of mankind and my own soul. JESUS, I worship You honestly, totally, passionately, and completely, please be the Master over me and all my senses. JESUS, I look forward to the day that I may gaze upon Your adorable, handsome, Holy Face and hear my name called by the precious, sweet, tenderness of Your Holy Voice, etc.”
“I love You, Lord, may I always love You. Amen”
Sixth point, recently, I was in deep conversation with a very dear friend, and I mentioned to her something that I feel called to share with you all. As blog followers know, I shared the fact a month ago that sometimes, I ask Papa God to assign a holy angel to assist me with challenges or obstacles, etc., that I may be facing in life. This holy angel may be on temporary or permanent assignment with me. For example, I asked Papa God earlier this year for a special holy angel to help me with my prayers, as I felt that I was being spiritually blocked by others’ curses. And when I thought earlier about writing on this topic, Jesus told me that, yes, Papa God desires people to petition Him for His divine help by assigning special holy angels, especially, regarding people’s struggles with temptations and sins, etc.
So, in this recent conversation, I mentioned to my dear friend how I had asked Papa God for angelic help with Holy Mass and Jesus had immediately responded in my soul that, “YES, God would like to do this”. My dear friend was actually excited by what I said and so, now, I am going to share this revelation with you, too.
Specifically, I asked Papa God for a holy angel to obtain for me all the spiritual treasures from all the Holy Masses that are to be said each day. I also asked that this special holy angel collect all the unused graces for that day, so I may spiritually benefit from a portion of all those graces from God. So, every morning, I send forth this holy angel to do this special task for me, which I know that he is very faithful in doing for God. This holy angel is also the same angelic being that I send to spiritual conferences, events, and pilgrimages that I am unable to physically attend to collect graces. I have never visited the Holy Land, the sacred places in Rome (Italy), and many other favored religious sites in the world, so this holy angel has a lot of work to do as he obtains a portion of all these spiritual treasures and blessings for me, etc.
Seventh point, I gently remind everyone to renew their baptismal promises, as well as their consecrations to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary, at every Holy Mass that they assist and attend. It does not need to be overly complicated or fancy words. Usually, I simply say, “Lord, I renew my baptismal promises and my consecrations to the Two Hearts” before I stand up from the pews to enter the queue for Holy Communion at Holy Mass.
Also, remember, ghosts enter the next level of the afterlife at the moment the Holy Spirit descends for the Consecration of the Most Holy Eucharist; whereas, poor souls in purgatory enter Heaven at the moment of one’s reception of Holy Communion. So, I pray accordingly for the ghosts to enter the Divine Light by putting them in the holy chalice before the Consecration of the Most Blessed Sacrament. Meanwhile, as I am waiting in the queue for Holy Communion, I pray in union with Our Holy Mother Mary, Saint Joseph, Saint Michael Archangel and the guardian angels for all the poor souls being released into Heaven, at the moment I receive the Sacred Host from the priest.
Finally, I recommend that you renew your baptismal promises every time you touch or use holy water, as well as renew your consecrations daily to the Two Hearts. Amen.
Beloved ones, I hope that this special commentary will help you all, along with all my past writings about the holy Sacraments, especially, those about Internal Adoration in Holy Communion, and holy practices on prayer.
MESSAGE OF THE MOST HOLY VIRGIN MARY TO LUZ DE MARIA JUNE 10, 2023
Receive the blessing of this Mother who loves you:
I BLESS YOU ON THIS VERY SPECIAL DATE; DRAW NEAR TO MY DIVINE SON, LIVE BY HIM AND IN HIM, IN A CONSTANT INTIMACY OF SOULS WHO ARE FAITHFUL TO MY DIVINE SON.
My Divine Son lives in each one of His children, guiding them, loving them, helping them out of love and mercy, and in order to offer them eternal life.
Beloved children, each of you is part of the Church that My Divine Son instituted; He dwells in you.
Beloved children: AS PART OF MY DIVINE SON’S MYSTICAL BODY, LIKE MY SON, YOU ARE AND WILL BE PERSECUTED. My Divine Son suffers because of this, and as He asked Saul, He asks the persecutors of His children: “Why are you persecuting Me?” (cf. Acts 9,4)
Beloved children, you know well that because of your love of My Divine Son you are and will be persecuted severely by the enemies of the Church. WITHOUT DOUBTING THAT YOU HAVE RECEIVED THE EUCHARISTIC SACRAMENT, TRULY PRESENT IN THE HOLY EUCHARIST, NOURISH YOURSELVES CONTINUALLY WITH THE EUCHARISTS YOU HAVE RECEIVED, TOGETHER WITH TIMES OF ADORATION BEFORE THE MOST HOLY SACRAMENT. (1) BELOVED CHILDREN, YOU ARE MY DIVINE SON’S DWELLING PLACE, AND, AS SUCH, BE A WORTHY DWELLING PLACE.
Turn away from worldly things and be creatures of good; love your brothers and sisters. My Divine Son is love and his children must be love for themselves and for their brothers and sisters.
Very fierce trials are approaching for humanity in general; this is why I call you to be at peace with My Divine Son, so that before the great blackout that will occur, you would be illuminated by the Holy Spirit, not neglecting the duty to prepare yourselves prior to this great trial that will cause the downturn of the climate: prepare yourselves!
It is painful for My Divine Son to see how war is ever closer; it is painful for this Mother…
IT IS AS IF MY CHILDREN WERE PREPARING THEMSELVES FOR A PARTY, AND THIS IS ABOMINABLE.
Pray, My children, pray for the countries whose rulers want to make the Church disappear and who want their people to disappear.
Pray, My children, pray and protect your health: sudden deaths caused by the wrongdoings of those who rule mankind are increasing.
Pray, My children, pray for My true instruments: they are being persecuted.
Pray, My children, pray for the United States: it will suffer.
Pray for Chile, Ecuador and Colombia.
Be worthy abodes of the presence of My Divine Son in each of you.
I am here to intercede before My Divine Son for each of you.
I DO NOT SEPARATE MYSELF FROM YOU: I LOVE YOU WITH MATERNAL LOVE. BE FAITHFUL TO MY DIVINE SON AND RECEIVE THE REAL PRESENCE OF MY DIVINE SON, PRESENT IN THE EUCHARIST.
Serious torments are approaching, and therefore I warn you to prepare yourselves with clothes for cold weather. The sun will be hidden; evil will seize on this fact to acquire dominion over a great part of humanity. (2)
My Divine Son is Love, and being at PEACE with your brothers and sisters is a great good for the soul.
I bless and love you,
Mother Mary

May 8, 2023 Month Dedicated to Our Holy Mother Mary
Blessings dearly beloved ones,
I, “a soul”, would like to share with you all a very good commentary written by a dear friend of this blog, MaryRefugeOfSouls. This dear friend is the husband of The Little Prophet of Love, whose heavenly messages I have featured on this blog, during the brief period that she was called to have a public ministry. Today, her husband maintains his own blog called, My Sacred Shelter, where he writes commentaries about important topics and pressing current issues that appeal to traditional Catholics. I recommend following his blog as his writings are very thought-provoking and interesting.
In this specific commentary, my dear friend writes about the Most Precious Blood of Our Lord, Jesus Christ, and maintaining proper reverence and holy respect for the Most Holy Eucharist. It is an excellent article that I think many people will benefit from reading.
I, “a soul”, am writing this special commentary, because I want to give you, my beloved followers of this blog, MaryRefugeOfSouls, more important insights to the unfolding Divine Plan in this End Times. In particular, I want to speak about how the Marian apparitions at Fatima (1917), Garabandal (1960s), and Medjugorje (1981-current), come together during the Great Tribulation, etc. And I want to address especially what Saint Gabriel Archangel revealed to me about the Divine Plan in January 2017, with the sole purpose of helping people prepare for the unfolding of the mystical events ordained by God to happen to us very soon on earth. I am choosing to speak just a little bit more in depth about what was shared with me, because people need a reminder of what I have shared already through different writings in the past, as many followers are new to this blog and may have been surprised by my recent admission about Saint Gabriel visiting me in 2017. Also, people need an update on certain matters, so they can clearly understand why God has planned these mystical events — “secrets” — provided through Our Holy Mother, Mary, to occur on earth at specific, definite dates in the future.
Beloved ones, firstly, I want to emphasize with you all that when Saint Gabriel Archangel visited me in January 2017, it came as a complete surprise to me and was not anticipated by me at all. I also want you to know that Saint Gabriel visited me over the course of several nights, because he could not reveal everything that he needed to tell me in one single night. I also want you to know that I did not see Saint Gabriel or any heavenly visitor, but that he spoke to me interiorly in my soul — by locution and other heightened forms of mental prayer that are hard to explain. Finally, I want you to know that during the several nights that Saint Gabriel was visiting, my entire bedroom became a massive battlefield. Although I was not receiving visions, I could sense mystically many things happening in the supernatural world. Mystically, I was feeling spiritual earthquakes — reverberations — as I heard and felt the holy angels and devils clashing around me in their heavy armor, weapons, and swords. So, that is also another reason why this special visitation by Saint Gabriel lasted several nights, because of the intense spiritual warfare taking place that was adding difficulty in conveying the private revelations that he was meant to directly share with me.
Secondly, one of the first things that Saint Gabriel revealed to me was the exact nature of the Miracle and Sign of Garabandal, which are both secrets for the world given by Our Holy Mother, Mary, to the young visionaries at Garabandal, Spain, in the 1960s. One of the visionaries, Conchita Gonzalez, has been entrusted to reveal the future date to the world eight days in advance, so people may gather at Garabandal, Spain, to witness this great mystical event. The Great Miracle will happen sometime after the Warning of Garabandal (Illumination of Conscience) has already occurred to mankind and it will result also in many direct healings in body and soul for those who experience in person this great gift by God.
So, now, I want to take this moment to shed more light on the Miracle and Sign of Garabandal, on what I can share publicly with you all.
Firstly, I want people to know that both the Miracle and Sign of Garabandal are totally beyond what the human mind can even conceive or fathom. I was totally shocked when I learned what they actually are, and honestly, when Saint Gabriel revealed it to me, I immediately broke down crying. He explained what the Great Sign is in five, succinct words, and as he said the words, God opened up my mind and I was given total understanding about what the Great Miracle is.
Beloved ones, please understand this. Everyone is expecting the Miracle and Sign of Garabandal to be similar to the Miracle of the Sun at Fatima, Portugal, which demonstrated God’s Almighty powers over natural elements in Creation, etc. I have also heard some people say that the Miracle and Sign of Garabandal might involve somehow the Cross and/or Our Holy Mother, Mary.
Beloved ones, you must believe me when I tell you that no human person is capable of figuring out what the Miracle and Sign of Garabandal really are. But, when everyone witnesses it, I am telling you that you will understand how Almighty God truly Is and you will receive immediate clarity into the purposes of the Divine Plan and for all of Creation. You will also know that the Catholic Church is the authentic faith passed down to us by Our Lord, Jesus Christ, and you will also know that mankind is living in the End Times, and the Second Coming of Jesus is imminent in the world.
Beloved ones, I can also share with you all that the Miracle of Garabandal involves the sanctity of life, as people will realize how God profoundly abhors abortion and other egregious sins against human life. The Sign of Garabandal is also highly Eucharistic.
Finally, I can also tell you that the Miracle of Garabandal involves a story and the Sign of Garabandal is a “snapshot” or “impression” or “image” of one moment of the story.
Beloved ones, I have provided you great hints about the Miracle and Sign of Garabandal. But, honestly, I tell you all that you will not be able to figure it out in advance, and these great hints will only make sense after the fact, once the Miracle and Sign of Garabandal are unveiled by God to the world.
Beloved ones, I want you to know that the great stigmatist priest, Saint Padre Pio of Pietrelcina, did indeed witness privately the Miracle of Garabandal before he died, just as was prophesied by the visionaries at Garabandal, Spain. And truthfully, I tell you that St Pio actually reveals what the Sign of Garabandal is in the words recorded and attributed to him. However, people will not realize his great hint hiding in plain sight until after the Sign of Garabandal is displayed to the world.
I also want you all to know that there is a certain part of the Great Miracle, which is when the snapshot of the Sign of Garabandal is happening, that will bring much happiness and delight to a lot of people. It is the part that caused the holy priest, Father Luis Andreu, at Garabandal, to die of complete joy, after thanking Our Holy Mother, Mary, for giving him a private vision of the Great Miracle. And although I was not given a complete vision of all the elements of the Great Miracle, I was given an “auditory” vision once of it. An “auditory” vision basically involved me hearing all the sounds of the crowds witnessing on earth the Miracle of Garabandal. And honestly, beloved ones, I was totally astonished by all the joyful sounds I heard at the point that people were viewing the moment of the Great Sign. I knew that people would be very happy, but truly, the crowds were so exuberant — I heard intense clapping and even whistling — that made me genuinely surprised by the crowd’s response.
Beloved ones, I was told by Saint Gabriel Archangel the Miracle and Sign of Garabandal, because God needed a human instrument to record the details in a writing. This is so mankind would have a lasting, permanent, written account of the Great Miracle once it has passed on earth, to accompany the Sign of Garabandal that will be unveiled afterwards. However, please know that while the written account contains substantial details about the Great Miracle, it does not record all elements of the “story”. And, in particular, the written account does NOT record a very important and very significant aspect of the Sign of Garabandal that people will witness afterwards. This is because human words are inadequate for me to express the certain aspect that will make so many people overjoyed and excited, and that caused Fr Andreu to die of ecstatic joy. It is something that only God can reveal publicly to the world. Meanwhile, there are a handful of people who have been entrusted with the written account — the parts that I can reveal — of the Miracle and Sign of Garabandal, which will be released in the aftermath of its occurrence on earth.
Now, there are some other things that I want to say about the Miracle and Sign of Garabandal. Firstly, I want people to know that both mystical events will be visible not only at Garabandal, Spain, but also at other major Marian apparition sites in the world. I do not know of all the selected locations. However, it is my understanding that both visionary, Conchita Gonzalez of Garabandal, as well as Latin-American visionary, Luz de Maria de Bonilla, will be informed by God and His Holy Mother, Mary, of all the selected places in the world during the time of the mystical event, known as the Warning of Garabandal (Illumination of Conscience). It is also my understanding that while Conchita is the principal visionary with the God-given responsibility to announce the future date of the Miracle of Garabandal, I believe that Luz de Maria will also be provided with the future date, as her chosen back-up by Heaven on earth.
Beloved ones, recently, I was having a conversation with Our Lord, Jesus Christ, about the Miracle of Garabandal, and honestly, as we were talking, in the background, the Holy Spirit repeated a dozen times this phrase: “satan is terrified of the Sign”. I share this fact with you all, because you must understand something very important about the future prophesied date for the Miracle of Garabandal. While everyone is aware that Conchita Gonzalez was given the future date for the Great Miracle during the Garabandal apparitions in the 1960s, that date that she was originally given is irrelevant.
Beloved ones, please understand that God Almighty Is totally, solely, and wholly in control of all divine aspects and divine interventions as part of His Divine Plan for mankind. And while many “smart” people will attempt to figure out when the future date of the Great Miracle will take place — based on clues from decades ago — all of these human deductions will fail, because people are failing to take into account three realities regarding their “educated” guesses. Those three realities are: (1) the free will of mankind; (2) the power of prayer to change prophecy; and (3) the invisible manipulation that hell exerts on mankind.
Beloved ones, I do not know the future date for the Miracle of Garabandal. However, I can share these facts with you all that have been given to us by different mystics. One, after the Warning of Garabandal (Illumination of Conscience) has passed, in the immediate aftermath, there will be six and a half weeks when satan, the devils, and all the evil spirits will be locked up in hell and unable to tempt or interact with mankind living on the surface of the earth. Two, after those six and a half weeks have passed, satan, the antichrist, and all of hell will be released to wreck havoc on mankind again; and they will come back with full fury, complete rage and in vengeance. And three, once satan, the antichrist, and all the evil spirits come back, God has commanded us to get rid of all technology, including all internet devices, computers, cell phones, and televisions, etc., because all of the technology will be used to manipulate the minds of mankind so that they reject the greatest blessing of God given through the Great Warning (Illumination of Conscience) for all His precious children on earth. Furthermore, all technology will be used to instead make people susceptible and vulnerable to the evil machinations of hell to worship satan and the antichrist, etc.
Beloved ones, given what Heaven has revealed to me about the Miracle and Sign of Garabandal, I am telling you that the prophesied date given by Our Holy Mother, Mary, to Conchita Gonzalez at Garabandal, Spain, in the 1960s does not really matter. I say this, because during the Warning of Garabandal (Illumination of Conscience), God the Father Is going to give Conchita a date for the Great Miracle so it will happen sometime during the immediate six and a half week aftermath, when satan and all the evil spirits are all totally locked up in hell. And the reason I say this, is because I know exactly what the Miracle and Sign of Garabandal really are. And I am saying to you that the Holy Spirit telling me recently a dozen times that “satan is terrified of the Sign” is no joke.
Beloved ones, please understand that it is a critical aspect to the Divine Plan that the Miracle and Sign of Garabandal must happen during the timeframe when satan and all the evil spirits are locked up in hell. Otherwise, the universal spiritual healing that God wants to provide to all of mankind from their divine encounter during the Great Warning — and which many people will experience as a very hellish reality due to their sins — would be totally thwarted by satan, the antichrist, and all of hell. Beloved ones, please understand that everyone associated with any knowledge of the Miracle of Garabandal will be in imminent danger, including those entrusted with announcing its future date. Moreover, all technology is going to be employed and manipulated by hell to distort all aspects of the Sign of Garabandal, and to try to hide its existence so mankind will cease all belief in God, His Goodness and His Divine Plan.
So, beloved ones, it is really irrelevant the original date for the Great Miracle given by Heaven to visionary, Conchita Gonzalez, because God the Father will give her an appropriate date for it to happen during the six and a half week aftermath of the Great Warning. And Conchita will accept and announce this appropriate date for the Great Miracle, because she will have no doubt that the request is truly coming from God Himself, as it will be given to her during the Warning of Garabandal (Illumination of Conscience). And, in truth, that is because the Great Warning is the ONLY time when God can actually change the prophesied date for the Great Miracle, so there will be no doubts that it is God acting and not a deception of satan.
Finally, I want to let people know this fact about the Miracle of Garabandal that Our Lord, Jesus Christ, informed me about. Jesus confirmed to me that God the Father is going to make it mystically possible so that all people in the world will be able to witness the Miracle of Garabandal — televised — as it is really happening — live — at the same time at the major Marian apparition sites in the world. And, truthfully, I do not know how God is going to mystically achieve this, since I am only human and it escapes me how people will be able to witness this great event of salvation history through television monitors, computer screens, etc. But, Jesus has assured me that Papa God Is going to bless the entire world with being able to witness mystically the Great Miracle through television and on the internet. So, I share this vital fact with you all, as I know many people would love to witness the Great Miracle somehow in-person, but will be unable to make pilgrimages to the selected Marian apparition sites.
Note, however, although I have not been told this by Our Lord, personally, I do not believe that the Miracle of Garabandal will be recordable so it can be viewed later or rewatched later by people. I say this, because God Is going to already give the greatest of blessings so all of mankind can witness it on the television and computer screens as it is happening live on earth. Moreover, with any repeatable recording, it would be difficult to achieve the same mystical experience when it is viewed later; and any such recording would be highly tampered with by hell when satan and all the evil spirits are released back to the surface of the earth.
But, nonetheless, I do believe that the Great Sign that will be left in the aftermath at the Pines in Garabandal, Spain, and other major Marian apparition sites, WILL BE able to be photographed and recorded, so the images can be shared among all media platforms and across the internet. In fact, I know that it is the total expectation by God Himself that everyone in the world sees the Great Sign, which will be Papa God’s Great Gift to all of His precious children on earth, to herald the coming Divine Kingdom of His Divine Will at His Son’s Second Coming, which will take place at the start of the Era of Peace on earth. Moreover, the photos and images of the Great Sign are intended by Papa God to strengthen spiritually and morally all of His precious children for the coming brutal reign of the antichrist. As such photos and images of the Great Sign are meant to encourage and give continual hope for all of God’s precious children to persevere throughout all the challenges and difficulties of the entire period of the Great Tribulation. So, everyone can make it for the dawning of the New Earth, the New Jerusalem and the New Day in His Only-Begotten Son, Jesus, which happens only after the final Great Chastisement has concluded the End Times on this old earth that is passing away.
So, those are the things that I can publicly say about the forthcoming Miracle and Sign of Garabandal. Both of which are great secrets given by Our Holy Mother, Mary, in order to be major “helps” for this urgent conversion time of the greatest spiritual needs of God’s precious children living on earth.
So, on the first night that Saint Gabriel Archangel spoke to me in January 2017, he only revealed the exact nature of the Miracle and Sign of Garabandal. And honestly, beloved ones, that singular private revelation was so massive, so huge for me to grasp and comprehend, that simply knowing those two secrets was enough for me as I was immediately affected on a very deep emotional level. Contemplating the sheer magnitude and depth of Divine Love and Divine Goodness of Papa God to arrange and provide such a profound gracious Gift for His precious children, mankind, really pierced straight to my heart. And with mystically experiencing all the spiritual warfare taking place around me between the multitudes of holy angels of Heaven and the devils of hell, seriously, being entrusted with the direct knowledge of the Miracle and Sign of Garabandal was all I could handle that first night. It was enough.
However, Saint Gabriel Archangel continued to visit with me for several more nights in January 2017 with more private revelation. In subsequent nights, Saint Gabriel revealed to me important knowledge that no other person living on earth has been given directly by Heaven about how the Divine Plan is to unfold on earth. And it is because of this unknown critical knowledge about the Divine Plan that helped me to clearly discern and actually convicted me in the fact that I was truly dealing with the holy Archangel Gabriel of Heaven and not satan in disguise trying to convince me into a fiendish deception according to some type of hellish agenda.
And so what other things did Saint Gabriel reveal to me alone about the Divine Plan?
Well, beforehand, we already know publicly that there are Ten Secrets for the world that are being provided by Our Holy Mother, Mary, at Medjugorje, located in the Eastern European country of Bosnia and Herzegovina. And we also already know publicly that the first three Secrets of Medjugorje are “warnings” for the world and the Third Secret involves some type of permanent, indestructible, supernatural Sign by God. While the last seven Secrets of Medjugorje involve greater degrees of various “chastisements” for the world, with both the Ninth and Tenth Secrets being the worst. And, in particular, the Tenth Secret is the very gravest for the collective sins due to all of mankind. Furthermore, we already know publicly that (1) three of the visionaries of Medjugorje have received all Ten Secrets from Our Holy Mother and have ceased receiving daily apparitions; (2) the three remaining visionaries of Medjugorje have received only nine Secrets so far and continue to receive daily apparitions of Our Holy Mother; and (3) we do know that the various Secrets given to the six visionaries are not all the same in common, as some have been given private Secrets involving only themselves, etc. Although it does appear that for those who have been entrusted with the Tenth Secret, which is the gravest of chastisements for all of mankind, that the contents of that particular Secret are the same for everyone so far, etc. Finally, we know publicly that the visionary, Mirjana Dragicevic Soldo, and her chosen priest, have been entrusted by Heaven with the very serious responsibility and important task of revealing the contents to mankind for each of the Ten Secrets of Medjugorje three days in advance of the dates determined by God that each Secret is to be witnessed on earth. In addition, Mirjana has been given a very special, very unique, indestructible parchment crafted by Heaven that lists all the dates for each of the Ten Secrets of Medjugorje. This parchment can only be read by supernatural grace by Mirjana and no one else on earth until the appointed times.
So, those are the basic, publicly known facts involving the Ten Secrets of Medjugorje.
Now, there are a lot of people who believe that the various “secrets” associated with the Marian apparition sites at Garabandal and Medjugorje are somehow related. That there is some overlap between the secrets and that some secrets are shared in common. However, this answer is only partially true and how they are related is not what people commonly think. For example, a lot of people believe that the First Secret of Medjugorje is the same mystical event, known as the Warning of Garabandal (Illumination of Conscience). Also, a lot of people believe that the Third Secret of Medjugorje, which involves a supernatural Sign, is the same secret of the Great Sign of Garabandal. However, both of these human assumptions are FALSE.
According to the private revelations from Saint Gabriel Archangel in January 2017, I learned the exact sequence of how the Great Secrets of Garabandal and the Ten Secrets of Medjugorje will unfold on earth. The Warning of Garabandal (Illumination of Conscience) will happen first to mankind as the foremost great mystical event that will usher us fully into the End Times and into the Great Tribulation. Then, the Miracle and Sign of Garabandal will take place shortly afterwards on earth.
Then, the Catholic Church, on behalf of mankind, will have a very brief time span in order to fulfill the Consecration of Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, according to the instructions of Our Holy Mother, Mary, at Fatima, Portugal. (Note, the Consecration of Russia made by Pope Francis on the 2022 Solemnity of the Annunciation did NOT fulfill the specified conditions given at Fatima.) Otherwise, the greatest world war will be forthcoming, which will involve nuclear weapons. The Ten Secrets of Medjugorje will also begin at some point after the Sign of Garabandal has already been fulfilled on earth. Thus, the prophesied Signs at Garabandal and Medjugorje are NOT the same mystical event. Moreover, I do know from other sources of heavenly messages that some of the Ten Secrets of Medjugorje involve the usage of nuclear weapons. I also know that some of the contents of the various Ten Secrets of Medjugorje, have been ameliorated and mitigated by prayer, acts of penance, redemptive suffering, and fasting, etc. So, people should anticipate changes and modifications — hopefully for the better– on the outcome of various Ten Secrets of Medjugorje, once each Secret is announced publicly on its date ordained by God.
Now, the most startling detail that convicted me in my discernment that I was truly dealing with Saint Gabriel Archangel and not satan in disguise or some other evil entity from hell was the unknown, but very critical knowledge that I gained about the Tenth Secret of Medjugorje. Firstly, Saint Gabriel confirmed that the Tenth Secret of Medjugorje is the same mystical event as the Great Chastisement of Garabandal, which is the same mystical event called, the Three Days of Darkness, by different mystics in various private revelation during the past two centuries. But, Saint Gabriel continued to reveal a very astonishing aspect of the Divine Plan that no human person has been able to decipher or figure out. And it is due to this very startling detail that I instantly knew that I was dealing with a spiritual being of superior intellect to any human mind, and that this spiritual being was God-sent, because the private revelation was so holy. The private revelation unveiled a very positive and very major step, advancing the Divine Plan for the salvation of all of mankind living on earth.
Recall, there are six visionaries of Medjugorje with three of them having all Ten Secrets so far and so, they are no longer receiving daily apparitions of Our Holy Mother, Mary. Whereas, the three remaining visionaries continue to have daily apparitions, while they patiently await learning the Tenth Secret — each of the remaining only know the first nine Secrets of Medjugorje. Recall, also, that not all the given Secrets to the six visionaries are the same, but so far, the contents of the Tenth Secret of Medjugorje seem to be in common.
Well, Saint Gabriel revealed to me that during the Warning of Garabandal (Illumination of Conscience), that the three remaining visionaries of Medjugorje will receive knowledge of the Tenth Secret. So, this means that there will be no gradual unveiling by Our Holy Mother, Mary, of the Tenth Secret, similar to how there were progressive gaps of time between how the first three visionaries received the Tenth Secret. Instead, the three remaining visionaries will gain this critical knowledge of the Tenth Secret all at the same time.
Furthermore, Saint Gabriel revealed to me that during the Warning of Garabandal, that, in fact, all six visionaries of Medjugorje and visionary, Conchita Gonzalez of Garabandal, would experience the same mystical event of the Tenth Secret of Medjugorje / Great Chastisement of Garabandal / Three Days of Darkness, as part of their personal life review with Our Lord. Then, in the aftermath of the Great Warning, all seven visionaries are expected to testify to all of mankind about their mystical experience of the Tenth Secret of Medjugorje / Great Chastisement of Garabandal / Three Days of Darkness. It is in this way and in this manner, that God will connect together the authentic Marian apparitions at Garabandal and Medjugorje as part of the overall Divine Plan. Moreover, Saint Gabriel revealed to me that the critical, initial, and necessary step to make it EVEN POSSIBLE for mankind to try to avoid or even cancel the Three Days of Darkness — which was revealed as a “conditional” Great Chastisement by Heaven at Garabandal in the 1960s — is truly the Consecration of Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, according to the specific instructions given at Fatima. Likewise, in this way and in this manner, the authentic Marian apparitions at Fatima will also be connected to those at Garabandal and Medjugorje.
Beloved ones, mentally, I was blown away by this specific private revelation to me from Saint Gabriel. Up until January 2017, no one knew why Our Holy Mother, Mary, had chosen six visionaries at Medjugorje, when only one of them has been selected publicly to announce to the world the ordained dates and graphic contents of the Ten Secrets of Medjugorje. Furthermore, all of the private revelations given by Saint Gabriel intrigued me, because they provided deep insights into invisible spiritual warfare by demonstrating tactics and techniques that Heaven employed to keep our mutual enemy, satan and all the evil ones of hell, from figuring out the next vital steps of the Divine Plan, etc.
Finally, before departing from his holy visitation over several nights in January 2017, Saint Gabriel announced to me very mysterious words. He revealed to me that, “the Battle of Armageddon involves demonic aliens”.
Beloved ones, I know that this particular writing is very lengthy with a lot of content to reflect upon, so I will not add much commentary to the private revelations that I just shared. As mainly, my intent for this writing was to speak in greater details about the Miracle and Sign of Garabandal, and less so about the other “stuff” concerning Fatima, Garabandal, and Medjugorje, etc., that Saint Gabriel thoughtfully provided to me.
However, before I give my concluding thoughts in this special commentary, I want to add a few supportive words about the heavenly messages given to Latin-American mystic, Lorena Portillo, whom I feature on this blog, MaryRefugeOfSouls. Because I know people may need help in their discernment of her heavenly messages. I want to share that I learned of the heavenly messages given to Lorena back in Fall 2018. But, honestly, I did not feel called to share her heavenly messages until I had a very powerful private mystical encounter with the Most Holy Trinity on Pentecost 2020. Honestly, what happened privately to me on Pentecost 2020 is one of the greatest moments of my entire life, and the encounter came about as the direct result of following instructions regarding special consecration prayers and Sacramental Confession requested by Our Holy Mother Mary, through Lorena at that time, so people could find out their earthly mission from God.
Beloved ones, what happened between me and the Most Holy Trinity is very private, so I will not share details about my mystical encounter on Pentecost 2020. However, due to my very powerful encounter, I had no doubts about the authenticity of the heavenly messages given to Lorena. So, I immediately began to share her heavenly messages on my blog, MaryRefugeOfSouls, introducing her to many believers in the English-speaking world. And while I cannot share details about everything that transpired on Pentecost 2020, I will tell you all that a certain aspect of the mystical encounter was directly related to some of the private revelations that Saint Gabriel Archangel revealed to me back in January 2017. Note, in this special commentary, I have not shared all the prophecies and details of the Divine Plan that Saint Gabriel told me in January 2017. I have only shared the parts that I can make public and are relevant to other people, and not in particular to me.
Beloved ones, now, I would like to make my concluding thoughts for this special commentary. Firstly, I want to share that I am so excited that the Second Coming of Our Lord, Jesus Christ, will be happening soon, as this great event of salvation history will take place immediately before the glorious Era of Peace begins. Jesus will not reign in a physical way during the 1,000 years, as He will return to Heaven after spending a very short duration of time setting up the structure of His Church and Mystical Body, the New Jerusalem, on earth. However, all the holy ones will participate in the First Resurrection, receiving glorified bodies and there will be many joyful festivities and celebrations at that time, as it will be the coming of the Kingdom of the Divine Will finally on earth (the answer to the ‘Our Father’, the Lord’s Prayer).
Beloved ones, I want you all to know how much I hope that all of you will choose to be with Our Lord and Our Holy Mother, Mary, which I hope the Miracle and Sign of Garabandal will be a totally blessing for you all, as it confirms you and inspires you all in grace. Truly, it is an honor for me that Papa God even chose me as His instrument to provide a written account of the Great Miracle, so afterwards, everyone may continue to be edified and blessed by reading about it. I am truly humbled by this task.
Beloved ones, personally, I want to greet and meet all of you, as together, we participate in welcoming Our Lord at the Second Coming and in all the joys involving this great historical event for mankind. I will be so honored to know each of you one day in Heaven, as it is my personal wish to say thank you individually to every person who decided for Our Jesus, completing His happiness in His Incarnation as the God-Man. I say this, honestly, because the person that I am today and will become due to my faith, has only been made possible by the prayers and sacrifices of God’s precious people throughout my life and the previous generations, etc. Furthermore, the person that I am today and will become in God, has only been made possible by all the people whom I have been blessed to know and encounter in some manner throughout my life. So, I hope to spend a better part of my eternity simply thanking everyone for helping me in some way, so I could be with God forever in Heaven.
I also have a few more concluding thoughts on a very personal level. As I want to give you all a more intimate look at Our Lord, Jesus Christ, as I share a few things… These days I am blessed in that I can say that Jesus Is truly my Best Friend, as we often share conversations with each other. And so, I know that people might wonder what are the types of things that Jesus and I discuss together(?).
Now, people might think that I often speak about prophecy or heavenly messages considering that I have this blog, MaryRefugeOfSouls. However, despite speaking about very important topics related to the Divine Plan in this commentary, honestly, beloved ones, I do not usually talk about prophecy or such important matters with Our Jesus. Instead, most of the time, I simply spend time talking with Jesus about various delightful things, as honestly, my greatest joy is making Our Jesus smile and especially, making Him laugh. Truly, Jesus has quite a wonderful sense of humor. And I am sharing this fact with you all, because so many people — even chosen messengers — believe that God does not laugh or does not have a sense of humor at all.
On the contrary, beloved ones, Jesus does, in fact, love to laugh. And I want to share this fact with you all, because one of your greatest joys in Heaven, will be discovering that Jesus has a great sense of humor and making Him smile — which is a delightful sensation that you will feel in your spiritual heart, and making jokes to get Him to laugh. Sadly, most people never get the opportunity to experience the laughter of the Lord in their souls, because God has to hide that part of His Personality from His children on earth. This is because much of our sense of humor and our jokes that we tell each other on earth are so different from Heaven’s sense of humor. This is because much of our sense of humor on earth focuses on jokes at the expense of hurting and ridiculing others, etc.
So, I want to reveal to you that Jesus does indeed laugh and He loves a good joke. This is a special gift that I want you to know about how much Jesus delights in each of us as God’s creations. So, you can ponder this fact about Heaven. Furthermore, I want you all to know that all Three Divine Persons of the Most Holy Trinity have a very witty and great sense of humor. As Yes, both Papa God and the Holy Spirit laugh and tell really funny, good jokes from time to time.
Beloved ones, oftentimes, people believe that God is out of touch with matters involving mankind on earth. In particular, that God Is distant regarding modern human affairs. However, this notion is so far from reality — so far from the actual truth as to how God perceives things and interacts with us on earth.
I say this to you all so I can share another gift with you. As I want you all to know that Papa God and Jesus deeply care and are very much aware of all the intricacies of our modern lives on earth. And that They do deeply care and are very much aware of our modern entertainment, and in particular, our songs — the musical beats and rhythms, as well as the lyrics, etc. As, oftentimes, in my conversations with Our Jesus, He may play in my mind small parts from various songs, as He tries to emphasize some concept that He is sharing with me as we discuss various things.
Beloved ones, there is a song that I want to invite you to listen to, as I have provided the lyrics below. I want you to consider this song and to listen to it three times. I want you to listen to the song once BEFORE the Warning of Garabandal (Illumination of Conscience) and once AFTER the Warning has happened. Then, I want you to listen to the song again AFTER everyone has witnessed the Miracle of Garabandal on earth.
Beloved ones, the song is called, “This Is It”, and was sung by American musician, Kenny Loggins, who wrote the song when his father was gravely ill and in so much pain that he was considering stopping all medical treatments. So, Kenny Loggins wrote the song to encourage his father to continue to fight for his life, which resulted in his father continuing the medical treatments that enabled him to live a few more years.
It is a very inspiring song that does indeed encourage people to fight through life’s difficulties and challenges. So, I want you to listen to the song three times, but each time, I want you to really listen to the lyrics and to think about Jesus actually singing this specific song to you. As I promise you, if you listen to this song three times according to my instructions, you will receive deeper and more profound meaning about what God desires for you to do in this End Times.
Finally, beloved ones, I want to end on this note. When we are in Heaven, I will always enjoy speaking personally with you. However, if you look for me and are unable to find me, please know that I will be dancing a beautiful waltz at that moment with my Sweet Jesus. (Note, I am a female). As Jesus Is very much a Gentleman, with a very Tender Heart, who loves to ballroom dance. And Yes, Jesus wants to invite every person to waltz with Him in a beautiful lifetime dance for all eternity in Heaven.
Thank you for especially sharing this special commentary with others, both before and after the Warning of Garabandal (Illumination of Conscience).
I love you all, my dearly beloved ones… Papa God and Jesus loves you, too.
God bless, a soul
SONG LYRICS: “THIS IS IT” BY KENNY LOGGINS (1979)
There’ve been times in my life I’ve been wondering why Still somehow I believed we’d always survive Now I’m not so sure your waiting here One good reason to try What more can I say What’s left to provide
You think that maybe it’s over Only if you want it to be
Are you gonna wait for a sign? Your miracle Stand up and fight (This is it) Make no mistake where you are (This is it) Your back’s to the corner (This is it) Don’t be a fool anymore (This is it) The waiting is over
No room to run, no way to hide No time for wondering why It’s here, the moment is now ’bout to decide Let him believe Leave him behind Keep me near in your heart Know whatever you do, I’m here by your side
You said that maybe it’s over Not if you don’t want it to be
For once in your life, here’s your miracle Stand up and fight (This is it) Make no mistake where you are (This is it) You’re going no further (This is it) Until it’s over and done
No one can tell you what you know Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Who makes the choice of how it goes It’s not up to me this time (you know) Comes a day in every life
(This is it) Make no mistake where you are (This is it) You’re going no further (This is it) Until it’s over and done (This is it) One way or another (This is it)
No one can tell what the future holds (this is it) Your back’s to the corner (this is it) You make the choice of how it goes (this is it) The waiting is over (this is it) No one can tell what the future holds (this is it) You’re going no further (this is it) You make the choice of how…
I, “a soul” of MaryRefugeOfSouls, want everyone to be aware that Totus Tuus Evangelization Network (TTEN) has released another excellent interview during this special time for Divine Mercy. This is a 3rd Part Interview with Dr Bryan Thatcher, who is the founder of Eucharistic Apostles of Divine Mercy, which is associated with Marians of the Immaculate Conception (Fr Chris Alar).
The Eucharistic Apostles of Divine Mercy help in forming Cenacles (prayer groups) that are geared towards the laity. The cenacles focus on loving the Most Holy Eucharist and learning more about St Faustina’s diary, Divine Mercy in My Soul. This is done predominantly by faith sharing in weekly or biweekly meetings, where members read parts of the diary and then apply how those aspects of the diary are related to their life.
Beloved ones, I believe that all of you will enjoy very much this interview of Dr Thatcher, which is the 3rd part of a 4-part series. In this interview, Bryan speaks about Divine Mercy as a way of life, with the cornerstone being forgiveness and the bedrock or foundation being the Real Presence of Jesus found in the Most Holy Eucharist. Bryan reminds us to truly live a sacramental life, as we are all saints in progress. Oftentimes, people think that the declared Saints in Heaven were always living Saints on earth. However, we are all fallen and capable of sin, and so life is about spiritual exercise, training throughout this great race of life, as we work through our daily struggles and continue to persevere, even if we stumble and fall from time to time.
I love that reminder about what sainthood is all about in our earthly lives. Also, I really enjoyed learning about the Divine Mercy message being Eucharistic. Moreover, how the “Great Secret” of the early Church is the Most Holy Eucharist, which would greatly inspire the early Christian martyrs to remain faithful to Jesus in their final moments. Bryan also spoke about various Eucharistic miracles throughout the centuries, which is also fascinating to hear about.
Finally, I love how Bryan reminds us of certain words of Our Lord, Jesus Christ, found in the Divine Mercy diary of Saint Faustina. Specifically, that Jesus reveals to Sister Faustina that “many people treat Me as a dead thing”.
Beloved ones, God desires so much to be an active, real, living part of our daily lives. He wants to be intimate and very personal with us. God desires so much our close friendship and a genuine, authentic relationship with us all. However, we cannot have such a critical and vital connection with Him, unless we truly believe, worship, and adore His Real Presence in the Most Holy Eucharist. Because having deep faith that God’s Son, Jesus, is present to us in the Most Holy Eucharist will ultimately bring us closer to God, as Jesus will reveal the Holy Face of His Beloved Father, Papa God, to us.
Beloved ones, I hope that you will enjoy watching this latest TTEN interview of Dr Bryan Thatcher, as we approach the beautiful feast day of Divine Mercy Sunday.
I love you. God bless, a soul

MESSAGE OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY TO LUZ DE MARIA HOLY THURSDAY APRIL 06, 2023
Beloved children of My Immaculate Heart:
DIVINE LOVE SHOWS ITS OBEDIENCE…..
It is the day of the great teaching of love towards the neighbor, a love of experiences, a love born in actions towards others, a love that does not stop for giving itself to the needy, a love that My children incarnate in themselves to work and act in the likeness of My Son.
Who will deny love for the needy, the love that helps, that goes out to meet, that alleviates pain, that gives itself for the brother and helps him to carry his daily cross, the love that says yes when it is within his reach and shares words of help, of closeness, of fraternity!
MY DIVINE SON WITH HIS YES TO THE FATHER GAVE HIMSELF FOR THE SINS OF HUMANITY AND BORE THEM.
Great Mystery of Love that which is commemorated this Holy Thursday, without looking at who, how or when, love is the greatest reality in the midst of the crosses of each one of My children.
My Divine Son in the washing of the feet shows you what it is to become small so that your loved ones may then be living testimonies of Divine Love.
Beloved children:
MY DIVINE SON GIVES YOU THE TESTIMONY OF HIS LOVE, A LOVE OF RENUNCIATION.
The human creature must renounce what he desires, his preferences. He who renounces his tastes and his human desires enters into the fullness of love: the more he gives himself to his brother, the greater he is.
The love that My Divine Son teaches
is the love of sharing and of helping the brother to carry his cross when it is too heavy….
is to love one’s neighbor at all times and even more so when he suffers.
Love is the choice and the restraint, the freedom of the neighbor when he desires the help or the love that is offered to him, then: PRAY MY CHILDREN! THE MOMENT WILL COME WHEN THE HEART OF STONE WILL BREAK AND LOVE.
Beloved children of My Heart:
My Divine Son gives Himself to His beloved apostles thus being born the institution of the Holy Priesthood, as a remembrance of His atonement, not only for the apostles, but so that in this present time each one of His children may participate in that memorable Holy Supper.
Breaking the bread, He blessed it and gave it to His apostles and said to them: “Take, eat, this is My Body”. Then He took the cup with the wine, blessed it and gave it to His apostles saying to them: “This is in remembrance of My Blood which is shed for the remission of your sins”. (Mt. 26:26-28).
Beloved children:
THIS HOLY SUPPER IS CELEBRATED WITH A VERY GREAT SOLEMNITY FOR THE SACRAMENT OF THE EUCHARIST, BUT AT THE SAME TIME WITH FEELINGS OF SADNESS FOR THE IMPRISONMENT OF MY DIVINE SON.
What does a mother say to her son before leaving?
We look into each other’s eyes and speak to each other without words. Our hearts fused in the Will of the Father embrace and more than at any other time become one. We embrace and live the events in an instant, the one that will last until the end of time. Upon that embrace souls will be encouraged in their moments of suffering, of joy, of hope, of charity and of faith.
Nothing remains without bearing fruit, My Blessing to My Divine Son must be repeated by mothers to their children and in My Blessing, it carries at the same time the blessing of Joseph, His putative Father.
My Divine Son departs, but I am not alone, I go with Him mystically, I share His Surrender so that later He may give Me to humanity and thus be the Mother of Humanity.
Beloved children, fulfill the Fourth Commandment, parents love your children.
Keep in mind the Law of Love, love one another as I have loved you (Jn.13:34-38).
I carry you in My Motherly Heart.
Mother Mary
HAIL MARY MOST PURE, CONCEIVED WITHOUT SIN HAIL MARY MOST PURE, CONCEIVED WITHOUT SIN HAIL MARY MOST PURE, CONCEIVED WITHOUT SIN
COMMENTARY BY LUZ DE MARIA
Brothers:
United in infinite love, let us pray with our hearts:
Courageous Mother, humble as a little flower of the field, you hide within you, the Father’s favorite rose, whom He has looked upon to fulfill His Will out of love.
Today I accompany you at every moment, You seem to be far from Your Son, but you are closer than any creature can imagine, since you live fused to Him in one heart.
Coredemptrix, Sorrowful Mother, Your suffering makes me faint. You looked upon me to deliver the one You have given birth to. How can I not love You! How can I not thank You! How can I not praise You if You have given Your Most Holy Son so that I may be free!
I know well that there is no son without a mother, Blessed Heart, Virgin Most Pure, Chosen of the Father, I want to be at Your side, not so that You may clasp me to Your bosom, but to clasp Thee to mine, which, though unworthy of Thee, recognizes You as Queen.
Today I wish to be the one for whom You wait to keep You company, the one who in repentance approaches your Son and acknowledges Him as Lord and Master of his life.
As You love him, help me to love him, that I may not be that executioner who scourges Your beloved Son.
Give me Your Love to love Him, give me Your hands to wipe His Divine Face, give me, Mother, Your eyes to look as He looks, give me Thy faith to deny Him no more.
Mystical Rose, Help of Christians, you are the essence of love, who today in front of me says: “Look, this is My Son, I give Him up for you, this is how I love you, this is how I love you, with the same love of my Son, this is how we love you”.
Let us pray:
I am not moved, my God, to love you the heaven you have promised me, nor am I moved by the hell so dreaded to stop offending you for that reason. You move me, Lord, you move me to see you nailed to a cross and mocked, move me to see your body so wounded, your affronts and your death move me. Finally, I am moved by your love, and in such a way, that even if there were no heaven, I would love thee, and if there were no hell, I would fear thee. You do not have to give me because I love you, For even if what I hope for, I would not expect, I would love you just as much as I love you.
Public Message from Our Lady of Emmitsburg To Gianna Talone-Sullivan April 1, 2023
My dear little children,
Praised be Jesus! My dear ones, as you enter into my Son’s week of Passion, focus on making reparations for all the outrages and blasphemies and sacrilegious acts against Him. Adore Him. Adore Him. Adore Him and make reparation by your love for those who refuse to pray to Him and utter blasphemies. Diffuse yourself in everything you do into Him, His wounds, and seal your thoughts with His.
Live this Holy Week as if it were your last reception of His True Body and Blood. Join me and the Angels and prostrate yourself to your Crucified Jesus. Adore Him. Bless Him. By His Holy Cross, He has redeemed the world!
I remain with you. Strive to live a life of purity against the affronts of sin. I bless you in His Holy Name.
MESSAGE FROM OUR SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST “I WILL PERMIT ANY OF MY CATHOLIC PRIESTS TO OBTAIN ORDERS FROM THE ORTHODOX CHURCHES” JANUARY 26, 2022, THURSDAY @ 7:04 P.M.
Anna Marie: My Lord, are you calling me?
Jesus: Yes my dear one.
Anna Marie: My Lord may I ask, are you Father, Son or Holy Spirit?
Jesus: Dear one, it is I, your Lord God and Savior, Jesus of Nazareth.
Anna Marie: My dearest Savior, may I ask you please? Will you bow down and adore God your Eternal Holy Father who is the Alpha and Omega the Creator of all life, of all that is visible or invisible?
Jesus: Yes little one, I your Divine Savior 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 sweet Heavenly Lord, for you sinful servant is now listening.
Jesus: My dear one, I have come to speak with you over the message I gave you recently.
Anna Marie: Yes Jesus.
Jesus: You need not be concerned by what I have stated to you previously. You are asked to report my Words as I or my Mother have shared with you and you should not have any concerns.
Anna Marie: Yes my Lord. I choose only to be obedient to you my Holy Lord and to your Holy Mother.
Jesus: Yes dear one, and that is the reason for our visiting and speaking with you, your obedience.
Anna Marie: Thank you Jesus. My Lord, Fr. John did ask me to write down his question and to seek your answer. May I ask you if I can ask his question?
Jesus: Yes dear one, you may do so.
Anna Marie: Fr. John said: “Dear Jesus, can the Orthodox Churches be a refuge for Catholic Priests who wish to remain faithful to you in light of the false directives coming from the Vatican?”
Jesus: Please tell my beloved and chosen son, YES! I will permit any of my Catholic Priests to obtain orders from the Orthodox Churches if they are no longer able to recite my Holy Consecration Prayers in their Diocese because the Bishops or Cardinals have demanded them to use the new false prayers of consecration. I remain in my full Presence: my Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity when the correct and Holy Prayers of Consecration are said. I will not be present if the other Rites under the Vatican order has been changed. My Orthodox Priests offer a valid Mass and I have blessed these Orthodox Churches, knowing what would take place in this day and age. Do you not know I am a merciful Savior in all my Churches?
Jesus: Please be in peace and make certain this message is posted for all to read and pray about. I will do all I must to protect my beloved Priest sons, but I also ask my Apostles to remain faithful to my request of a holy Rosary novena for them daily. They will suffer greatly in the coming months, but I and my Holy Mother will be their comfort and solace. Now go dear one. Be in my peace and continue your work for me today. I am blessing you and Fr. John.
Anna Marie: Thank you dear sweet Jesus. All Apostles love you holy merciful Jesus.
I, “a soul” of MaryRefugeOfSouls, want everyone to be aware that Totus Tuus Evangelization Network (TTEN) has released another excellent interview over this past Thanksgiving weekend. This time, TTEN featured Dr Bryan Thatcher, who is the founder of Eucharistic Apostles of Divine Mercy, which is associated with Marians of the Immaculate Conception (Fr Chris Alar).
The Eucharistic Apostles of Divine Mercy help in forming Cenacles (prayer groups) that are geared towards the laity. The cenacles focus on loving the Most Holy Eucharist and learning more about St Faustina’s diary, Divine Mercy in My Soul. This is done predominantly by faith sharing in weekly or biweekly meetings, where members read parts of the diary and then apply how those aspects of the diary related to their life.
As I learned about the cenacles, I really felt encouraged by the group format, because it’s not simply about doing prayer with others. It involves learning more about the mystical side of the Church as it relates to the Holy Bible and the Catechism. And a major component involves sharing life testimonies with others in a small group setting. So, this really fosters friendship and discipleship of Christ with getting to know others.
In addition, Dr Thatcher’s interview was very inspirational. It made me teary-eyed, laugh, and smile. Honestly, I love learning about others’ faith journeys because I get so amazed by what the Lord is doing and achieving through other people. It is simply wonderful to know what other people have done simply out of love for Jesus in the Most Holy Eucharist. Dr Thatcher has traveled throughout the world forming cenacles in many countries, as well as written many books about Divine Mercy. Myself, I plan to check out some of his books, as I do not know much about St Faustina, who is one of the greatest mystics of our modern era. I do believe that she should be named a Doctor of the Church, as her writings have captured the hearts of millions who are devoted to Our Lord’s Mercy. God bless.
In Christ’s Love, a soul

MESSAGE FROM OUR SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST “YOU ARE MY BELOVED APOSTLES AND I WILL NOT PERMIT THE EVIL ONE TO SNATCH YOU FROM MY CRUCIFIED HANDS.” NOVEMBER 18, 2022, FRIDAY @ 3:57 P.M.
Anna Marie: My Lord, I hear you calling me. My Lord are you Father, Son or Holy Spirit?
Jesus: My dear one, it is I your Savior, Jesus of Nazareth.
Anna Marie: Thank you for coming Jesus and thank you for speaking to me, your unworthy servant. My Lord, may I ask you please; will you bow down and adore God your Eternal Merciful Father who is the Alpha and Omega, the Creator of all life, of all that is visible and invisible?
Jesus: Yes, little one. I your Divine Savior, Jesus, will now and will always bow down and adore my Holy Eternal Merciful Father, who is the Alpha and Omega, the Creator of all living things, all that are visible and invisible.
Anna Marie: Please speak my Divine Lord, for your sinful servant is now listening. Dear Holy Spirit, please guide me to take our Holy Lord’s message down in your perfect and Holy Will.
Jesus: My little one, I know this has not been an easy last few weeks for my beloved Apostles, especially those who again witnessed the fraudulent voting, re-election of those who were not voted into office and instead cheated to take office in an un-holy way. For each candidate and each person who did so, they will not enter into the Kingdom of Heaven because they have not obeyed my Father’s Ten Commandments that must be followed by every living soul on earth: Christian or non-Christian.
Anna Marie: Yes my Lord.
Jesus: Do your best to endure this treachery and watch the hand of my Holy Father reveal what has taken place. For anyone who assisted and took part in the fraudulent elections, you must come forward and confess what your part was in this stolen election and you must also confess your sins before you will be forgiven for your actions.
Anna Marie: Yes Jesus.
Jesus: My Church is collapsing under the weight of this non-elected pope who also stole the election during the conclave. See the destruction he has caused?
Jesus: My beloved Apostles, hold on to your faith and monitor each Priest who offers Holy Mass. If my Words of Consecration are not fully recited, then get up and leave the Mass because my Body and Blood are not present! You will witness in the coming months a “new consecration” being introduced by wicked servants of the anti-christ. Do not attend that church or any of those masses where the prayer of “Consecration” has been changed. You cannot and I ask that you do not financially support that church where Masonic priests have infiltrated my Order of Priests. There are many wicked servants now within the ranks of Priests; this does include Bishops and Cardinals. Be vigilant! Be attentive during the Holy Mass and pray for the Holy Spirit to bestow upon you His gifts of Wisdom and Understanding. You must never attend a Mass where the prayers of Consecration have been obliterated by any Priest, Bishop or Cardinal.
Jesus: Now go little one and make sure this message is posted this day.
Anna Marie: Yes my Lord, I will.
Jesus: Please let all my beloved Apostles know I do see their pain, suffering and lack of trust in their lives. Yet you must know all must be fulfilled prior to my return. For those who believe I have abandoned them, please know I have not done so. I am here waiting on each one to lift up their sorrows to me so I can help lead them through the trials of this life. The emotional and spiritual sufferings my beloved Apostles are enduring now, will be washed away when I return and even during the Illumination of Conscience. This is when each soul will experience the inner illumination of all the sins they had ever committed and have repressed during their lives. This will be a great time of reconciliation with me and they will experience great joy and peace after they have Sacramentally confessed these repressed sins; because they will be in a perfect “State of Grace” and will be living in my Divine Will. Do not fear anyone or anything. Fear is a demonic spirit and with my love for you, trust in me and I will conquer the demon of fear that torments you.
Jesus: My beloved ones, I will be returning soon in your life time, for most. Those I call home to be with me now are needed in Heaven to pray for their loved ones who remain on earth. Do not be afraid but always surrender your “human will” into my “Divine Will” daily and I will bestow upon you a great peace during your days. I love you all. I cherish each of you. You are my beloved Apostles and I will not permit the evil one to snatch you from my crucified hands.
Jesus: Now make sure you are preparing for my return to your homes for Christmas so I can bless your bread and water. This bread and water that I bless will be miraculous for your household because I will not permit your food and water to dry up. I will ensure you always have enough food and water to feed yourselves and your family members too.
Jesus: Be in absolute peace. Peace I give to you, my peace I leave with you. So dry your tears and rejoice, your Savior is coming soon to save my broken children and to restore my Father’s love upon the earth. Your Divine Savior, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus of Divine Mercy.
Anna Marie: Thank you Jesus. Praise you Jesus. All Apostles love you Jesus. We surrender to your Holy Will. Amen.
NOTE (By a soul): To find out the truth about the conclave and Pope Francis, one needs to research the St Gallen Mafia and how they manipulated the election. Also see:
As I “a soul” sit here, I am reminded of my dear friend, Nikki, who passed away due to cancer at the tender age of 30 years in 2007. My friend was Lutheran and I was the only Catholic person in her inner circle of loved ones. Because of this, I knew that I had a special duty to pray for her in the afterlife, because I was the only person who had sincere belief in purgatory. It took me little over a year, but she finally entered her heavenly glory in May 2008 with me having the distinct honor of escorting her to Jesus at a weekday Mass.
People do not commonly know this, but whenever you are praying for someone in purgatory, the poor soul can hear you and the soul receives relief from their suffering at the same time. One of my favorite pastimes is singing songs to God. So often I would sing to my friend to obtain relief for her in purgatory. Sometimes I would pray so much for my dear friend, my relationship felt stronger with her in the afterlife than it existed on earth. My favorite song to sing to my friend is titled “Legacy” by songwriter, Nichole Nordeman, because Nikki was so instrumental in me becoming a Christian by her living witness and prayers. So I often sang it to her while she was in purgatory.
Jesus is permitting me to reveal a very special heavenly secret in this commentary. As I have shared before, there are two distinct times during Holy Mass when human souls in the afterlife are invited to meet Jesus.
The first pivotal time happens during the time of offering prayers by the priest. At the moment of the Consecration of the Blessed Sacrament, Jesus descends from Heaven to become the Holy Eucharist for us. Well, that is the same time that the tunnel of light comes to earth so any invited earthbound ghosts can transition over during that moment in Holy Mass to have their life review with Jesus and enter purgatory or Heaven finally.
The second pivotal time that human souls in the afterlife are invited to meet Jesus during Holy Mass is at the moment of Holy Communion. At the moment that you are partaking in Holy Communion, Jesus is also receiving any poor souls in purgatory that you have been interceding for. So at the moment of reception of Holy Communion in Holy Mass is when poor souls in purgatory go home to Heaven.
Now, I am going to reveal the heavenly secret that no one knows on earth. Every soul before they enter Heaven, is offered Holy Communion by Jesus which completes their time of suffering in purgatory or earthly life. This final reception of Holy Communion is one time only and gives the soul their state of heavenly bliss and glory with their beatific vision in God.
So what does this mean? This means that the same moment that you receive Holy Communion in Holy Mass, that the poor souls from purgatory are receiving their final Holy Communion from Jesus to enter fully into Heaven. Also it does not matter if a person never received Jesus in the Holy Eucharist during their earthly life. Every saved soul receives Jesus in the Holy Eucharist before finally entering Heaven for eternity.
This heavenly secret is important to know because it sheds a whole new light on these words of Jesus found in the Holy Bible that are often debated by followers and scholars.
Gospel of John, Chapter 6, Verses 53-54
“So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you; he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.”
I love you.
God bless,
— a soul

Our Lord Jesus Christ has made it very plain to me that Holy Communion in the hand is a sacrilege that many people will witness as a grave sin during the Warning (Illumination of Conscience). It is better to do a spiritual Communion from the angels in the pews than to receive improperly from a priest or lay minister. Since 2018, I have written that Holy Communion in the hand is as bad as abortion and it is the major reason the Church is falling apart. Jesus confirms this fact in the February 2022 message to Lorena. In private mystical revelation to a nun, Pope John Paul II confirms that he had a brief stay in purgatory as required by Divine Justice before entering Heaven. Personally, I believe this is because of the missed opportunity to fulfill the Fatima Consecration of Russia to the Immaculate Heart and Holy Communion in the hand. God bless.
MESSAGE OF ST. MICHAEL THE ARCHANGEL TO LUZ DE MARIA JANUARY 1, 2022
People of Our King and Lord Jesus Christ:
AS PRINCE OF THE ARMIES OF HEAVEN AND SENT BY THE MOST HOLY TRINITY, I BLESS YOU.
I convey to you the Divine Will for this people who continue to rebel, not believing in what is approaching for everyone and refusing to work and act according to the Divine Requests.
You are continuously quarrelling, living without peace, each person being their brother’s torment. Humanity is in permanent chaos.
Attention, children of Our King and Lord Jesus Christ! The churches will increasingly be plundered due to man’s rebellion against what reminds him of law, obedience, love, peace, Faith and morality.
PAY ATTENTION! COMMUNISM (1) IS ADVANCING: IT HAS NOT RETREATED BUT ADVANCES AT THIS TIME WITH GREATER FREEDOM, WHICH HUMANITY ITSELF HAS GRANTED TO IT.
You are acting like senseless, unreasoning creatures, who later will need one another.
Woe to those who, because of the coming famine, because of sickness, in order to maintain the appearance of security, will reject the Divine Seal and replace it with the seal and distinctive mark of the Antichrist! (2)
Pray, People of Our King and Lord Jesus Christ: the Church will suffer due to changes that will suddenly arise.
Pray, People of Our King and Lord Jesus Christ: pray for the institution of the Church, plunged into confusion – the scepter will pass from one side to the other.
Pray, People of Our King and Lord Jesus Christ: a new disease will be announced. Do not panic, Divine Protection remains over its People.
Pray, People of Our King and Lord Jesus Christ: Central America will suffer, Costa Rica will be shaken.
As Prince of the Heavenly Legions, I am the bearer of the Divine Will: you must change into creatures of good, of prudence, of firm and strong Faith, convinced of the protection of Our King and Lord Jesus Christ.
How many, being aware of the approaching darkness, increase their errors, evoking the rebels and persecutors!
YOU NEED TO GROW SPIRITUALLY, TO UNITE WITH THE MOST HOLY TRINITY, WITH OUR QUEEN AND MOTHER OF THE END TIMES (3), BEING SHELTERED BY MY HEAVENLY LEGIONS.
Receive Our King and Lord Jesus Christ in the Eucharist, nourish yourselves with the Eucharistic Meal (Mt. 26:26c). Be love, give love, live in Divine Love, transmit Divine Love so that the peace coming from love might bear witness on the part of each one of you.
This is the moment for you to reflect:
EVIL WANTS TO SNATCH THE ARK OF THE NEW COVENANT FROM YOU AND LEAVE YOU ORPHANS IN THIS WORLD OF INIQUITY.
Be wise, lest your tongue be a fire that sets everything aflame, lest it be a poison that kills your brother. Keep in mind that it is with the same tongue that kills your brother or sister, that you pray to, bless and venerate the Triune God or Our Queen and Mother of the End Times.
I bless you, we protect you: you have been entrusted to Our Custody.
Remain unafraid: My Legions are watching over each of you with constant attention.
I bless you. Without fear, walk in Faith.
St. Michael the Archangel

Jean Marty’s book in French is available from ‘Les Editions Saint Raphael, 31 Ouest, rue King, Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada J1H 1N4.
The book essentially exposes the remarks and gestures made by a possessed woman in Switzerland during 1975-1978. Speaking through the possessed woman, the demons were forced to tell the truth by Our Lady under the Solemn Church Exorcism, which was witnessed by the following priests who have all expressed their conviction of the authenticity of the revelations made by the demons upon the order of the Blessed Virgin.
Abbot Albert-l`Arx, Niederbuchorten
Abbot Arnold Elig, Ramiswil
Abbot Ernest Fischer, Missionary, Gossau (St.-Gall).
Rev. Father Pius Gervasi, O.S.B., Disentis
Abbot Karl Holdener, Ried
Rev. Father Gregoire Meyer, – Trimbach
Rev. Father Robert Rinderer, C.P.P.S., Auw
Abbot Louis Veillard, Cerneux-Pequignot
All eight priests are Swiss, except Father E. Fischer, a German. All participated in the exorcisms except Father G. Meyer who was spiritual director of the possessed woman. Two other French priests also participated in the exorcisms.
E=Exorcist B=Beelzebub
E: In the name…! What is the story about Communion in the hand in the earliest times of the Church?
B: Christ – we saw this ourselves at the time – when He broke the Bread, did not give It into the hands of the Apostles. We do not wish to speak any more! Not any more!
E: In the name….!
B: We do not like saying that! But we particularly do not like saying it at this time!
E: In the name of the Most Blessed Virgin!
B: At the time when Christ said: “This is My Body”, at the Last Supper, He put the bread directly into the mouths of the Apostles.[87] There is no question about the Precious Blood; they drank It, and did not have It in their hands first.
The Apostles who were present at the Last Supper never acted otherwise; they gave Holy Communion in the mouth … Christ did not wish that later It would be received in the hand … if later, they did receive It in the hand, it was because they had a wrong understanding of things… Christ never wished it. He Himself gave It into the mouth; and even the Blessed Virgin never received this Sacrament any other way, and always kneeling, bowing very deeply… Ah! We do not like saying this!
We were full of fury against Her (he points upward) whenever She received Communion. She saw and, in a mystical way, experienced everything that happened at the Last Supper. She nearly always knew everything. She was destined to guide the Church. The Apostles were also destined for this, but She had in a very large measure, to work with them.
We have had to say this before: She was on her knees[88] day and night, praying for the Apostles, so that everything would go well in Christ’s Church. The Apostles, who were at the Last Supper, never gave Communion any way but into the mouth. If that happened differently later on, it was not the fault of the Apostles. No more did Jesus and His Mother have any part in it. They (he points upward) neither planned for nor wished for that. It was absolutely not their intention.
E: Who did want to introduce Communion in the hand?
B: You must not ask that question!
E: In the name of the Father…!
B: It is we who schemed and plotted for that.[89] We said to ourselves: If we can manage to introduce Communion in the hand among the early Christians, then later on they will be able to say: “There was Communion in the hand previously at the time of the first Christians.” And so it was that this Council, these men of today, would be able to say: “The first Christians communicated in the hand, therefore there is nothing wrong in it. They were the first Christians, It was the time of the life of Christ, they were near Christ. Therefore, it absolutely cannot be sinful.”
True, they did not know that this was not wanted by God. At that very moment, even then, we said to ourselves that if we could make that happen, the result would be a certain lukewarmness. However, Communion in the mouth was brought back. Certain saintly souls and very great Doctors of the Church saw clearly where this was leading, and that it would be better and that there would be much more respect if He up there (he points upward) were received in the mouth… if they could not simply take Him into their hands, into their filthy hands … with nails too long or varnished, or uncared-for hands. We cannot even say it all. There are often people who have not washed their hands all day, when they go somewhere… I do not want to say that! … It is a frightful irreverence.
There are many who do not believe in God so much. They see symbolism everywhere, a little like the Protestants. At the beginning, the Council was not like that, but later it was decided that it had to take steps towards the Protestants and the others. This was solidarity; this was good; this was Christian Charity; and so, partly with the help of the freemasons, we were able to reach the point where it was being said: “It is necessary to be charitable, conciliatory, to practice love of neighbor, to have dialogue[90] one with the other…” until finally, the stage is reached where everything can be softened and changed a little … and things rearranged in such a way that they lose their value and their profound meaning. So it can happen that important graces are lost because one goes along with the crowd.
Little Li Taken from “The Hidden Child of Medjugorje” by Sister Emmanuel
When God called His servant Fulton Sheen back to Himself, in 1979, millions of Americans mourned his death as if they had been left orphans. For years, he used every possible means to reach hearts through media, and soaking in every word of his, the people were fascinated. Gifted with a rare charisma, he was a blend of natural eloquence and the power of the Holy Spirit. Yes, through his witness, people knew that God was alive, magnificent and desirable. Archbishop Sheen shone so brightly that TV channels were fighting over him, knowing that his broadcast would shatter all ratings on record. His popular show, “Life Is Worth Living,” reached about thirty million viewers every week.
This Archbishop, master of evangelization, had a secret. Like all truly great men of God, he privately cherished a chance of revelation in his life. It was an episode when an abundance of grace had floored him, and set him on a path from which he would not deviate for anything in the world. To understand that experience, we have to transport ourselves back to China in the 1950’s, at the peak of the Communist crackdown …
The Tiny Steps of a Child
In a parochial school, children diligently recited their prayers. Sr. Euphrasia was pleased because two months ago, many of the children had received their First Communion, and took it very seriously; from the bottom of their hearts. She smiled as ten year old little Li asked: “Why didn’t the Lord Jesus teach us to say ‘Give us our daily rice?’” It was a very difficult question to answer, since these children ate rice morning, noon and night.
“Well, it’s that ‘bread’ means ‘Eucharist’,” answered Sr. Euphrasia, whose heart radiated much brighter than her theology. “You ask the good Jesus for daily Communion. It’s true that for your body, you need rice. But for your soul, which is worth much more than your body, you need bread. That is the Bread of Life!”
In May 1953, when Li made her First Communion, she had asked Jesus in her heart: “Always give me that daily bread so that my soul can live and be healthy!” Since then, Li had received Holy Communion everyday, but she was aware of the fact that the “bad people” (the Godless Communists) could prevent her from receiving Christ at any time. So she prayed ardently that it would never happen.
She would never forget the day they entered the classroom and screamed at the children: “Right now-give us all of your idols!” Li knew very well what they meant. Terrified, the children gave up their pious, carefully hand-painted images of Jesus, Mary and the Saints. Then, in a fit of anger, the Captain pulled the Crucifix off the wall, threw it down to the ground and trampled it screaming: “The New China will not tolerate these grotesque superstitions!”
Little Li, who loved her picture of the Good Shepherd so much, attempted to conceal it in her blouse. It was the special image given to her for her First Communion. But a loud slap on her cheek sent her crashing to the floor. The Captain called Li’s father and humiliated him before tying him up with a rope.
That same day, the police made a sweep of the village, cramming all the inhabitants they could find into the tiny church. The Captain proceeded to bark out a new kind of “sermon” ridiculing the missionaries and the “agents of American imperialism.” Then, with a thundering voice, he ordered the soldiers to fire at the tabernacle. All together and at once, the congregation drew a long breath and increased the intensity of their prayers.
The Captain turned back to the crowd and screamed: “Let’s see how your Christ can defend Himself – here’s what I think of your ‘Real Presence’ – the Vatican’s trick to exploit all you people!” Saying this, he grabbed the ciborium and threw all the Hosts onto the tile-floor. Stunned, the faithful shrank away from his gaze and choked their cry. Little Li froze in horror.
“Oh, no,” she thought. “Look what happen to the Bread!” Her innocent and righteous little heart bled for the Hosts strewn all over the ground. “Isn’t anyone going to help Jesus?” she wondered in amazement. The Captain continued his tirade of insults, interrupting his blasphemy only to let out spurts of guttural laughter. Li silently wept.
“Now, get out!” yelled the Captain. “And woe to the one who dares to return to this den of superstition! He’ll answer to me!”
The church quickly emptied. But besides the angels always present around Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament to adore Him, there stood another witness who had not missed a moment of the drama. It was Father Luke from the Missions Etrangeres (Foreign Missions). One month previously, foreseeing the takeover of the village, the parishioners had hidden him in a small recess of the choir, which gave him a view of the church. He sank into prayers of atonement for the sacrileges committed against Jesus and suffered because he was not able to come to Jesus’ defense: one wrong move on his part, and the parishioners who had hidden him would be arrested for treason.
“Lord, have mercy on Yourself,” he prayed in anguish. “Stop this sacrilege! Lord Jesus!”
Suddenly, a creaking sound broke the heavy silence in the church. Slowly, softly, the door opened. It was little Li! Barely ten years old, there she was, approaching the altar with the tiny steps of a Chinese girl. Father Luke trembled: she could be killed at any moment! Unable to communicate with her, he could only watch and beg all the saints in Heaven to spare this child. The little girl bowed for a moment and adored in silence, just as Sr. Euphrasia had taught her. She stayed with Jesus in adoration for one hour, knowing that she was supposed to prepare her heart before receiving Him. Her hands joined together, she whispered a mysterious prayer to her dear Jesus – mistreated and abandoned. His eyes glued to her, Father Luke stared as she lowered herself down to her hands and knees; and with her tongue, took up one of the Hosts. She remained there on her knees, eyes closed, turned inward face to face with her Heavenly Friend.
Each second seemed an eternity to Father Luke. He feared the worst. If only he could speak to her! But soon the child went out just as quietly as she had come in, almost hopping along.
The purging continued as the volunteer brigade searched the entire village and surrounding area. This type of terror was happening all across “New China.” The peasants didn’t dare to move. Hiding in their bamboo homes, they knew nothing about the future and couldn’t take tomorrow for granted. Yet, every morning our little Li slipped away to find her Living Bread in the church. Reproducing the same scenario from the previous day, each time she adored for one hour and then took up one Host with her tongue and disappeared. Father Luke was chomping at the bit: Why didn’t she take them all? He knew exactly how many there were: thirty-two. “Doesn’t she know she could pick up several of them at once?” he thought.
No, she didn’t know. Sr. Euphrasia had been very clear about that: “One Host per day is enough. And never touch the Host; we receive it on the tongue!” The little girl perfectly conformed to the rules.
One day there remained on the ground only one more Host. At daybreak, the child scurried into the church as usual and drew near to the altar. She knelt to the ground to pray, very close to the Host. Father Luke had to muffle a cry. Suddenly a soldier, standing in the doorway, aimed his gun at her. A single dry pop was heard, followed by a loud burst of laughter. The child immediately collapsed. Father Luke thought she was dead, but no! He watched her struggle and crawl up to the Host, he saw her put her tongue over it. Then, a few convulsions shook her body, before it finally relaxed.
Little Li was dead – but not before she had rescued all the Hosts!
Holy Hour, Every Day
Archbishop Fulton Sheen revealed a secret at the age of 84, two months before he passed away, during an interview on national television. “Your Excellency,” began the interviewer, “you have inspired millions of people world-wide; what about you, who has inspired you? Was it a Pope?”
“It was neither a pope, nor a cardinal or any other bishop- not even a priests or a nun! The one who has inspired me was a small ten year old Chinese girl.”
It was then that Archbishop Sheen revealed his intimate secret by telling the story of little Li. He explained how the love this little child had for Jesus in the Eucharist so impressed him that, on the day he first heard it, he made a promise to the Lord that every day of his life, until death, come what may, he would spend one hour in adoration in front of the Blessed Sacrament.
The Archbishop not only kept his promise, but he never missed a chance to promote the Love of Jesus in the Eucharist. Tirelessly, he invited the faithful to spend a daily Holy Hour with the Blessed Sacrament. For him, there wasn’t a shadow of doubt: it was this unknown and poor child from remote, rural China who was the spark that had ignited this immensely fruitful apostolate.
On that day, in front of their TV screens, all America understood that millions of hearts touched by this great preacher had also been touched by little Li. It was this innocent child with her thirty-two heroic visits to Jesus scattered all over the floor, who paved the way for him to lead millions to adoration in front of the Blessed Sacrament. Behind the blossoming of many Consecrations, vows and vocations inspired by the most popular American prelate there was the little Chinese martyr and her union in blood with the Lamb.
Anne received the second in a series of new locutions from Jesus directed toward the Church. We invite you to prayerfully reflect on what this instruction is asking of you, and please consider sharing it widely.
November 2, 2021 Jesus To The Church
There are many moments in your life when you make decisions. Those moments are quietly important, and yet, you lack awareness that the decisions you make will impact the Body of Christ on Earth. Yes, in those small moments you make decisions that impact my Church. This assembly of believers, the home to my Eucharistic presence, can change the course of world events. It is my wish that it do so. Calm, quiet faith within a person’s heart results in a countenance that stands out from most of God’s children. When times become unstable, as happens throughout the history of humanity, these believers become more spiritually confident, more willing to detach from the world and from expectations for their individual lives. How difficult it is for me to articulate that even in battle my followers are kind, loving, and also firm. What are we firm about? The Father’s will and the Father’s plan. Follow me, I say to you. Follow me. How did I respond to turbulent times in my life? To marginalization? To persecution and threat? I continually looked up to the Father where my soul was free to imagine the wonder of the Church in the future, your Church. I knew my Eucharistic presence would be available to sustain people in times of distress and change. Even the thought of my Eucharistic presence filled me with joy during my time on Earth. I never desire to be separated from my Church or the people in it. When do representatives of my Church separate me from my people? They do so when a person craves reception of the Eucharist, but based on human evaluation, that person is denied my Body in their body. My friends, I ask for greater caution in this regard. I ask for humility. Which of you is the Judge? The perfect arbitrator of my mercy or the qualified evaluator of the heart of another? None of you. I am the Judge, the only Judge. True penitence can only be evaluated by me. If a human process is to restrict reception of the Eucharist, I ask that you allow this human process to submit ultimately to my mercy. Let it default into my mercy. Leave the judgement to me, the Judge, and distribute my mercy as your first and greatest function. Do not separate my children from me when they desire to receive me in the Eucharist and have been formed and prepared in their life to do so. We do not form and prepare people only to deny them that which they have been formed and prepared to receive. I am the only one who can heal and change even the hardest hearts, the most confused, the most wounded. Do not prevent me from doing my part. Concentrate on gaining ground in your own personal holiness and I will assist you and all who call on me.
