Message from Our Lady

Observation - Marcos: (This was a very long Apparition, in which Our Lady addressed several subjects, however, some of these subjects have been omitted in the present edition, for reasons of caution and prudence; however they shall be addressed in the future, after the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Our Lady)

On how to go to confession

"It is very simple. Take My Requests and put them all in order on a sheet of paper. The requests of mine that you are not fulfilling, mark them with a sign.

Be very honest with yourself, and mark all My Requests that you don't live up to. For example: Fasting twice a week. If you are not doing it, be sincere, and mark it with a sign. When you come to Confession, confess all those My Requests that you are not living."

About future Pilgrimages, he said:

"- I have truly said that only e one thirdf of humanity will remain. but, it will be millions of people who will seek Me here, after My Triumph!

In fact, people from all over the world, those who survive, will come here and pray here, to My Immaculate Heart.

And here f, I will be glorified by all Nations."

Regarding the Sign of the Cross on the Mount

"-Everything is conditioned upon prayer. If you here do not value the Grace GOD has given you, if you rebel and revolt against GOD's Will, even this Sign will be cancelled for you.

Everything is conditioned on prayer. if there is no prayer and fasting to the extent that I desire, the Graces will be cancelled, and GOD will turn against you."

Regarding the Miraculous Fountain promised in previous years

It has already been said in a Message: "I do not know if the people here deserve such a Grace...f Here there is not the same prayer and the same penitence that there is in other places where I appear.

But, nevertheless, it is good that it remains like this, so that what has happened in other places does not happen, where people only go after the healing water, but do not seek prayer or the conversion of their sins. Maybe it's better that it stays that way."

Regarding the Annual Appearance, if it continues the same date

"- Yes, it continues on February 7th."

What to do to convert more

"- The answer is in My Messages. Read My Messages, which I have given all these years, and you will understand what I want from you.

You don't read the Messages, so you live in constant confusion in your daily lives. Read My Messages, and you will understand everything!"

His desire over the people present

"- That you come back here tomorrow, to continue this Novena. GOD is pleased with your prayers."

Marcos Observation: (Now follows the Message given on the same day, in the evening, during the Luminous Rosary prayer, with candles and small Procession up the Mount of Apparitions. Before giving the public Message, Our Lady showed me the realization of the Fourth Secret).

Our Lady: "GOD is Good, but He is also Just. Because mankind sins against GOD without ceasing, and because mankind offends GOD, this will happen."

Marcos:"-And what shall we do?"

Our Lady:"-The only thing that can be done: prayer and penance.

Marcos:"- And with that, can it be diminished?"

Our Lady:"- Some Punishments cannot be avoided, however, they can be lessened with your prayers. If you pray, perhaps GOD will lessen the Punishment.

When you come here to pray, know that this place is a Place of Prayer and Penance. Do not run away from the hot sun, but offer the sun as a penance to GOD.

Offer also many ascents to this Mount to pray. Let this place be a Place of Prayerf! Even if you don't climb it doing penance, just the fact that you make the prayer up here, to GOD, will already be accepted as penance."
