Message from Our Lady
My Children, I am the Queen and Messenger of Peace, the Lady of the Rosary, I want you to continue praying it every day, I want you to continue praying the Hour of Peace, because it has produced great effect in the world. The world, my Children, is small for GOD and for me, but it is big for you. Many times your prayers are collected by me, and are applied in other regions of the world, far away from here, that need peace, so do not worry if you do not see the results of your prayers near you. Don't ask yourselves, what has become of all my prayers?
My children, every prayer that comes out of your hearts is gathered by me and applied in the world, nothing is lost, even the thought that you sometimes have, the desire to pray, even this I already gather, transform into graces and apply in humanity, therefore, trust, prayer is your advocate in Heaven, before our Sacred Hearts.
Through prayer one can make possible what is impossible, make easier what is difficult. Prayer can open paths where before there were only mountains, everything is possible to the one who believes in the power of prayer, so I want you to follow the example of my Seers, pray as they pray, pray as the soul of a child, totally trusted, totally supported, totally dependent on me, and I who am your Mother will never let you be confused, or be helpless.
Follow the example of the Medjugorian people who pray four hours a day in the Church, and who pray in their homes for some more hours. I know that you cannot stay here in the Church because the Fathers persecute you who come here. So, my children, pray 4 hours a day in their homes, pray as a family, be a cenacle as a family, do the Hour of Peace, pray the Rosary, pray the Rosaries that I taught here, and the others also that are contained in the Book of my Messages here, since here in Brazil the followers of my Apparitions are persecuted and cannot pray in the Church, Pray at home, but pray, for me it doesn't matter the place, it matters that you pray, I need your prayers, come pray here more often, because here in this poor and simple place graces are spilled that are not spilled in your homes and other places. Those who say wrong, I pray in my house, I don't need to go there where she appears.
No, my Children, the prayer you do at home has her value, and the prayer you do here has more value than the prayer you do in your homes. It is not the same, it never was, it never will be.
And so it is with my Shrines of Fatima, Lourdes, Medjugorie, Montchiari, Garabandal, Bonate, Oliveto Citra, El Escorial, and so on.
The prayer that is made in the places where I have appeared is more accepted by the Lord, is better received and welcomed by the Holy Trinity, produces more fruit, has more effects, has more effectiveness.
Therefore, my Children, correct your wrong way of thinking and judging the places where I appear, these places are unique in the world, they are singular, the graces that GOD and I grant here are not the same as those that you receive at home, that you receive in the Church. So come here, every place where you pray has its value, of course, but the places where I appear, in them the Holy Spirit is constantly working and operating.
Heaven is continually touching the earth. The Angels and the Saints go up and down with me continually to bring the prayers to Heaven, and to bring the graces of Heaven to earth. Therefore, Children, do not come here to see signs, come here to hear my Messages, to obey them, to meditate on them, to pray the Rosary, to visit me, to keep me company, to console me, to remove the thorns of sins, of the offenses of humanity, of my Heart, and to pray here for the peace of the world, that is what I desire, come here to pray, not for what you want, but for what I want, what I want to do in the world. If you do this, a river of grace will also flow for you, about you, for you, because I will never stop rewarding those who are dedicated to praying for my causes, for my intentions.
Thank you for coming here, and for having answered my call".
MESSAGE OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST
"Dear Children, I desire more obedience to the Messages of my Blessed Mother.
There are many who do not want to obey her Messages, neither mine nor those of St. Joseph.
For those, for the rebels, the disobedient, fate is fire. Yes, they will burn like firewood in the eternal fire, because they have no kindness in their hearts, no love for my Blessed Mother, they dedicate themselves to everything and work for everything, except for my Mother's causes.
And this is what hurts my Heart and the Heart of my Blessed Mother so much.
Many are the ones who come here, but then when they are pressured by the Fathers, they prefer to please them, and stop coming here, than to keep coming here to obey my Blessed Mother.
That is why many souls are condemned for sins committed against my Blessed Mother, against her Messages and Apparitions. That is why I ask them to offer prayers of displeasure to my Mother's Immaculate Heart, because every disobedience to Her Messages is a new thorn that is stuck in her Heart, making her suffer terribly.
May they make the first Saturdays of displeasure to the Heart of my Mother, may they pray many Rosaries in displeasure to the Immaculate Heart of my Mother, may they pray more on Saturdays in honor and in displeasure to the Immaculate Heart of my Mother.
May you pray more to my Mother's Immaculate Heart on the first Saturday of each month, think of Him, remember Him, thank Him for His apparitions in the world, bless my Mother's Heart, console Him, exalt Him. Continue praying the Hour of Peace, of Saint Joseph and of Thirteen.
My Sacred Heart, to everyone, in this instant, give peace, give love, give my grace.
Don't think that I am happy when you stop coming here because the priests have forbidden you. Don't think that I am happy doing this. Because I am not the one who sent you to forbid people to come here. If they forbid people, it is on their own, and they will be judged accordingly.
I have always called and always wished that everyone would come here.
Obedience to my Person and the Messages is above your obedience to the Church, because I am the Lord, and the owner of the Church, and it is Me who must be obeyed in the first place.
Of course, at this moment the Church is going through a great apostasy, a great loss of faith, it unfortunately has moved away from my will, it does not want to obey our Messages, but you stand firm, because in the end, at the end of time our United Hearts will triumph, and will save the Church, at the last moment, and it will be redone again, rebuilt from its beginnings, and it will be holy again and it will obey me again as it was in the beginning, founded by me.
For now, pray for her, but know that my Sacred Heart is sad when you prefer to obey priests than me. I want you to obey our Messages. Many who came here in past years, and who were destined to great holiness, unfortunately fell, because they preferred to make a mistake with the Church, than to make a mistake with my Mother and with me.
Therefore, my Children, I ask you, be faithful to my Mother's Messages, obey them, go to Holy Mass, take communion with me as much as possible, but please do not allow yourselves to be wrapped up, do not allow yourselves to be involved by those who want to distance you from the Messages of my Mother and my Sacred Heart.
Be alert, because Satan has already brought down many with this trap, open your eyes, watch and pray, because the spirit is ready, but the flesh is weak, above all, be intelligent, meditate constantly on what happens around you, so that you yourselves do not bring down your own house.
Children, go forward, be courageous, do not be discouraged, because we are with you".
MESSAGE FROM SAIN JOSÉ
"My Children, I, St. Joseph, also tell you, the adversary, the evil one, has struck the Catholic Church very hard, and that is why within her we see the advance of Protestantism, apostasy, the loss of the true faith, and of so much darkness that has obscured it, and simply overshadowed its beauty.
You must pray for the Holy Father, you must also offer sacrifices for him, but I tell you, my Children, many, many have neglected their faith, and because of this, many priests moved by the evil one have managed to turn many souls away from obedience to our Messages, to our Apparitions.
Those souls who fell, my Children, were still very attached to the world, the esteem of the people, the opinion of the people, and so, in order not to have to face the opposition of the people from within the Church, they preferred to go with them rather than stay with us.
Ah, my Children, may you not be of that number, because if you do not return soon, their end will be terrible, my Children, and if you also betray our Messages, it will be terrible, my Children, because no one betrays the Word of GOD, and has a happy death, at the end of his life, no one, my Children.
I ask you, therefore, my Children, to put our Messages in the first place, because they are the anchor, the rock, the ark that will sustain all, guard all, and save all.
I ask you, Children, that you understand our pain, it is not easy for us to tell you this, but it is the pure truth, the majority who come here, then abandon us, and would rather make a mistake with the Fathers, than get our Messages right. For us this is very hard, my Children, it is very painful, so I ask you to keep on going to Holy Mass, but to say your prayers at home, to avoid that you, my Children, expose yourselves too much to the temptation to turn away from us. If you do this, my Children, you will make it to the end of this road, which we have called and introduced to you, the road of salvation, which is a thousand times more difficult in these times than in any other time in human history. My Children, have confidence in us, because in the end our Hearts will triumph, and everything that today in humanity is destroyed, is blackened by darkness, will one day be resurrected again, and covered with splendor, but until then, my Children, watch, watch very much, because there are many who fall, because they do not watch where they are going, what happens around them. Always ask my Heart to enlighten them, to guide them, and they will feel that my grace will lead them on the right path.
Continue to pray my Hour every Sunday. Some are already receiving the graces of my Hour, but more needs to be prayed. You have just begun to do my Hour.
You must persevere in my Hour so that in the future you will reap the fruits of this prayer.
Be patient, be persevering, whoever is patient and persevering will see the glory and victory of GOD.
Our Hearts bless you now.
Seer - Marcos Tadeu Teixeira:
"My dear listeners, in this Message the Three Sacred Hearts teach us something very important, obedience and faithfulness to their Messages above all, far from telling people to abandon the Catholic faith, the Three Sacred Hearts are opening people's eyes to realize the snares that the evil one, opponent of the Sacred Hearts, a weapon to bring down those who do not understand that in today's times, he even uses wicked priests to drive souls away from the Apparitions and Messages of the Sacred Hearts in Jacareí. Many have already fallen into this trap, because they do not understand that the evil one can be helped even by souls who serve God, to destroy the plans of the three Sacred Hearts in the Apparitions, to save souls and the whole world. Yes, what happens most in the current Apparitions is the removal of people due to prohibitions and threats of expulsion, and excommunication by priests and bishops.
I myself have seen a lot of this happen, people who were living in mortal sin for many years, who were converted by the Apparitions and the Messages of Jacareí, changed their lives, began to follow the Messages, and then began to go to Groups, Pastorals and Church Movements, and soon after they didn't go to the Apparitions anymore, and why? Because there is a layer of adulterers and professional pullers of Fathers and Bishops, well instructed by themselves, who lurk at the places of the Apparitions, eager to roll them up like sneaky snakes, to inject them with the poison of their hatred of the Apparitions, to see if they can destroy everything the Apparitions have done to those souls, and make them move away from the Apparitions for good, and later join with them and the Fathers in the fight and attack against the Apparitions. The Church is eclipsed by a great darkness of apostasy, Protestant ideas and many mistakes. Therefore, her representatives not only do not see the mystical light of the Apparitions, but have also rejected and persecuted it. Therefore, as soon as they see a soul obeying an Apparition, they persecute it, investing against it, until making it discourage it, that is what is done without ceasing in the present times.
Already in Garabandal, Spain, in 1965, the Blessed Virgin had said, as my Message of October 18, 1961 was not fulfilled and not much was made known, I tell you that this is the last, before the cup was filling up, now it is overflowing. Priests, Bishops and Cardinals go many on the road to perdition, and with them they take many more souls. You must avoid the wrath of the good God over you with your efforts, if you ask him for forgiveness with a sincere soul, he will forgive you, I, your Mother, through the Archangel St. Michael, was the Archangel who came to give the Message in the name of our Lady, I want to tell you that you have made amends, you are already at the last warnings, I love you very much and I don't want your condemnation, you asked us sincerely, and we will give you forgiveness. You must sacrifice yourself more, think about the Passion of Jesus.
And in El Escorial, Spain, the Sorrowful Virgin said to Amparo, kiss the ground my Daughter, this for souls consecrated to God. How many consecrated souls have withdrawn from the path of Christ and have entered the life of pleasure, my Daughter. Poor souls have darkened their minds, and the devil has set out to lead them along the path of perdition, that dark are their minds. Many priests, because of their bad life, because of their lack of piety, are taking many souls to the bottom of the abyss. Some have let the devil lodge in their hearts, and he is introducing them into the life of pleasures, to then introduce them into the fire of hell. I have manifested myself in many places in the world, but there are representatives of my Church who make my name, my Daughter, disappear. How ungrateful they are, my Daughter, I manifest myself to give warnings to all humanity, so that they may be saved. What are you doing, my Daughter? Those, with my Church, wherever I manifest myself, try to make my name disappear, because they themselves, my Daughter, do not believe in my prerogatives. Nor do they understand that I can manifest myself to small and uncultured souls, to tell them that they have let themselves be guided by the cunning of the enemy, who has put them into the world of pleasures. They have forgotten prayer and sacrifice. Warn them that the Angels of God will do great justice.
And also, I know my Daughter, that you are asking for priests. Many priests are not worthy of a prayer, they are the ones who are constantly offending My Son. Yes, my Daughter, some priests, ministers of my Son, for their bad life, for their mistakes, irreverence, for their bad life and bad disposition in celebrating the Holy Mysteries, for the love of money, honor and pleasures, lack the proper purity, my Daughter. The sins of consecrated persons cry out to Heaven and attract vengeance, my Daughter.
And behold, vengeance is at its gates, for there is hardly anyone left to beg for mercy and forgiveness from the people. There are no generous souls, nor is there almost anyone worthy of offering the spotless victim to the Eternal for the world. God will punish in an unprecedented way, my Daughter. Some priests offend My Son a lot. A punishment will come upon them, for they have even more responsibility than others, because they are condemning many souls. Yes, certain leaders of God's people have neglected prayer and penance, and the devil has darkened their minds. The dark spirits will spread universal relaxation everywhere, in everything that demands God's service, my Daughter.
The Church will have a horrible crisis, all justice will be abolished and soon there will be no more everywhere but murder, hatred, discord, without humanity, nor in families.
Yes, my listeners, this is the harshest and most raw reality. And it is these religious souls who should obey the Messages of the Apparitions in the first place, and set an example, who are the ones who most disobey, persecute, destroy, prevent others from obeying and do everything to take souls out of the Apparitions, and bring them to perdition. How many people I have seen, who were converted by the Apparitions of Jacareí, that the Blessed Virgin freed from horrible sins, who lived in hell with hatred and evil, that She filled with graces, peace, even physical cures, freed from diabolical possession, people who saw atmospheric signs and others, and then joined Church Groups, and passed to the side of the Fathers, against the Apparitions, and who today live to work against them, and attack and persecute them as much as they can. Yes, today they work against the very thing that took them out of the life of sin, where they existed only to offend and hurt God. They work against the very thing that converted them and got their children out of drugs, alcoholism, violence, or that freed them in time to fall into them. They work against what made the discord of their families disappear, and gave them peace. They work against what has taken their husbands and wives away from adultery, from addictions. They work against the very thing that taught them what prayer is, what God is, what Mary is, what Catholic faith is, what heaven is, what the Eucharist is, because they did not even know this, they were completely ignorant, or indifferent. How many of these people, whom I myself helped, taught to pray, and even to make the sign of the right cross, because they didn't even know how to do it, for which I prayed, advised, supported, even taught who God is, Our Lady, what the Eucharist is, Mass, and who today simply stab the three Sacred Hearts in the back. Ingratitude, betrayal, vileness, are things that hurt, and as it happens in the Apparitions. How much ingratitude, ingratitude over ingratitude.
Of course there is also the group of those souls who want to appear at all costs, and who cannot see a microphone, a stage, to do everything to be noticed, praised, applauded by everyone.
And to satisfy their vanity, they turn their backs on the Apparitions, where they don't have a chance to appear, because the only ones that should shine are the three Sacred Hearts United, and enter the Church Pastoral Groups, where the bonfire of vanity burns without ceasing. The reason many enter these groups is not a sincere desire to serve and obey God, but to appear, to be praised, admired, and to command others. These people, better they stay quiet at home, because they are only in the Church to provoke justice and the wrath of God. They are not content to just go to Mass, and do the rest of their prayers at home, to do charity at home, they always want to have audiences to see how they pray, what charities they do, etc. They also stay all the time trying to convince priests and bishops to believe in the strength of the Apparitions, and they have hatred of the Apparitions, and have no desire to obey the Messages. All for an attachment, an adulation, almost idolatry, which only brings problems to the Apparitions, because with this only their hatred is further aroused against them, further increasing the number of sermons and attacks against them. People need to stick this in their heads once and for all, they don't care about Apparitions, they don't want to obey Messages, they are disobedient. The Blessed Virgin never ordered anyone to run after Fathers and Bishops with the fixation of making them believe in Apparitions, She ordered them to spread Her Messages, simply, whoever has ears to hear, listen, because whoever does not, will have less forgiveness than Sodom and Gomorrah on Judgment Day. This fixation by Fathers and Bishops is a mental idolatry caused by the devil, helped by the ignorance and interest of human beings.
By the way, Jesus himself said in the Gospel, one should be careful not to do good works before men, only to be praised by them, because in this way we would have already received our reward, and lost the eternal one. So let each one examine himself, and see if he is not on the same path, through which many have already entered and fallen, perhaps forever. Another group is that of those who suffocate and stifle their own conscience, out of love and obedience to the Fathers and Bishops. There is also that of cowards. What I hear the most is that people turn away from the Apparitions because Fathers and Bishops threaten to expel groups, excommunicate, forbid First Communion, Confirmation, Marriage, for those who go to the places of the Apparitions, and the people, instead of taking a position of adherence and defense of the Apparitions, are frightened at this time, and give in. Once, a Minister of the Eucharist came to tell me that she could no longer stand the pressure from her pastor to stop coming to the Shrine of the Apparitions, and to spread the Messages, on pain of being punished with the expulsion of the Group of Ministers. I told her to prefer the Apparitions, because it would help to bring Jesus to the people with His Heart hurt with her, for this disobedience and betrayal of His Messages. But it did no good, she gave in exchange for a position, for a recognition and esteem of men, despising and disobeying the desire of the United Hearts that all obey His Messages and spread them to others. But there are also some positive cases, which serve as an example to others.
Once a girl came to tell me in tears that the Father and the Catechist of her parish had told her that if she continued to come to the Shrine of the Apparitions, she would not make First Communion with the rest of the class. I told her that she was innocent, and that she was a victim of an injustice, and that God was on her side that she was right, and not on their side that they were being unjust, and that she should stand firm, and answer the next time she would leave the Catechism, because she never wanted to hurt the United Hearts with this sin. It was then that she came back saying that she gave the answer to the Father and the Catechist, as explained above, and they seeing that they could not beat her, were forced to let her make First Communion. A lady went to confession, and the Father saw the Medal of Peace around her neck, and asked her if she was going to the Apparitions, she answered yes, he then gave her a huge sermon, forbidding, threatening, ridiculing the Apparitions, and saying that the Bishop did not approve of it, etc. She answered that she already knew all this, and that nothing would keep her from the Apparitions. He kept silent, indignant, and she left. Since then, the Father avoided her, and ignored her. This lady passed away, some time later, saintly, and faithful to the Apparitions until the end. She died on a feast of the Virgin Mary, as she always asked, and the Virgin herself gave signs of her eternal salvation.
Again, it was a young man who wanted to forbid the Confirmation. Same advice, same response. He did the Confirmation, but had to leave his Catechesis Group. He preferred the Apparitions. Today he does the "Hour of Peace" in the families under the attacks of the Father, in the sermons of Masses, without discouraging. It is the cross that those who obey the United Sacred Hearts have to carry unjustly in these times. The sordid motto is preached without ceasing: 'it is better to make a mistake with the Church than to get it right without her'. This is absurd, it is the same as going against the conscience. How can I stand by the Fathers who attack and persecute the Apparitions after I have seen signs in the sun, the moon, the stars, the images of the Apparition, or after I have received graces and cures at the place of the Apparitions? How can I join the Fathers to deny the Apparitions if I have gone there, noticed and know that it is true? How can I go against my conscience?
That is impossible, it is the same as doing as the Priests and Pharisees of Jesus' time, who saw His miracles, saw the multiplication of the loaves, the resurrection of Lazare, the healing of the blind man from birth, and yet said that it was by the power of Satan that Jesus performed miracles, and that He was an imposter, blasphemer, false prophet and possessed.
And today people do the same, they see the signs, the graces, the cures in the Apparitions, and then they turn away from them, they join with the Fathers, and they say that it is the work of Satan, that it is all falsehood. I have seen cases of people who were physically healed in the Apparitions in Jacareí, and who knew that the healing came from the Apparitions, and yet preferred to give the reason to the Fathers, who told them not to believe, than the Blessed Virgin, who performed miracles in their bodies, and whose miracles were still in their bodies. People prefer to suffocate their own consciences, which give them cries of reproach, night and day, for betraying the Sacred Hearts United in the Apparitions, than to defend the truth, to suffer a little for the truth. And the strange thing is that these people still think they love God, that God accepts their prayers in a good, without sorrow, without pain, without any sadness for what they do against the Apparitions. It is the same with the Pharisees, who said they loved God, with the priests of Jesus' time, who said they loved God, and yet they crucified his Son.
Sometimes I hear, so-he does not come to the place of the Apparitions anymore, but he continues to go to Mass, so he is with God in the same way. And I ask, are God and Mary most holy fools?
Are they blind not to see the betrayal that people commit against them at the Apparitions?
Are they without heart and feelings so as not to feel sadness, sorrow and pain for all that the people are doing against the Apparitions? Do they not know that the same people there in the Church saying, Lord, Lord, are the same people who paid with ingratitude and betrayal for the graces they received from Heaven in the Apparitions? No, God sees everything, God knows everything, and knows everyone inside and out.
He sees the ingratitude, the betrayal, the falsehood, the evil and the disobedience of each one. No one cheats God and the Blessed Virgin. Therefore, the virtue of sincerity, obedience, loyalty, gratitude, is lacking in souls towards God and the Blessed Virgin in the Apparitions. It is no use offending and disobeying the Sacred Hearts in the Apparitions, and then going to Communion at Mass, thinking that they will receive my prayers in the same way, because my prayers will not be heard. They have feelings, if I hurt them, I become their enemy and unworthy to be heard by them. It is a painful fact for the three Sacred Hearts, because it constitutes an ungratefulness to their kindness, which they did so many benefits and do to souls in the Apparitions. A betrayal of their love, clearly manifested in the Apparitions, a disobedience to their Messages, an offense to their Majesty, because obeying the Fathers and Bishops, who are inferior to them, and disobeying the Sacred Hearts, is the same as giving more value to the servant than to the master, the servant than to the Lord. It is not fair that souls obey men more than the Sacred Hearts, even if these men are in some way called Ministers of God.
Of course, if a heretic came to tell you, not to go anymore in the Apparitions, you would not even listen to what he says, then the evil one subtly uses evil priests, who hate the Apparitions, who use their popularity to tell you not to go anymore, and you, if you do not have a firm adhesion to the Apparitions, If you do not have a clear conscience that obedience to God is above all in this world, and that He who is the owner of the Church, deserves more obedience than His servants, who are in the Church, falls even into the net of the evil one, because your tendency, is to think that the Father is speaking in the name of God to you, like an Oracle, and not in the name of the hatred he has of the Apparitions. And how many fools have already fallen into this trap.
Going to the places of the Apparitions is no sin, never has been, and never will be, however, priests and bishops do injustice, and if they excommunicate you because you go to the place of the Apparitions, it will be an injustice they will do against you, and it is logical that God, who hates injustice, will stand by your side, and not by their side, understand?
God will not listen to their prayers, when they pray, when they celebrate, and he will listen to their prayers, that being innocent, he was a victim of their injustice. God is not a being without feelings, who stands on the side of the evil ones, just because they are His ministers, and turns his back on the innocent ones just because they are not ministers, no, in several apparitions the Three Sacred Hearts showed hell filled with priests, bishops and even unjust popes. Their Ministry only increases their responsibility and guilt, because to whom much has been given, much more will be charged. And of course, who is behind all this, without any doubt, is the evil one, the enemy of the Virgin Mary, who wants at all costs to keep souls away from the Apparitions because he knows that they are the beginning of the Triumph of the Sacred Hearts on earth. Each Apparition that occurs on earth, crushes a little more the power of Satan in the world. Souls are converted, and freed from the slavery of sin and hell, and Satan knows this, so be alert, if you no longer feel like going to the Sanctuary of the Apparitions to pray, if you no longer feel like reading and meditating on the Book of Messages, If you feel more like being in Pastoral Groups than going humbly to pray in the Shrine, you are just one step away from falling into the nets of the enemy of the Virgin, who wants to keep you and everyone else away from the Apparitions, the last table of salvation for souls, in these times. He wants to give you poison in a glass of juice, stay alert, open your eyes. I need to change my attitudes, my posture with the Apparitions. I need to adhere to the Apparitions firmly, once and for all. Until I do this, even the slightest wind of setbacks, will bend the rachitic plant of my faith.
In short, it is not to abandon the Catholic faith and the Mass, it is to detach oneself from and distance oneself from the Fathers and Bishops who teach that it is better to err with the Church than to get right with the Messages of the Sacred Hearts, before they end up leading me to sin against the Holy Spirit, and to lose myself forever.
Keep going to Mass, and the rest I pray at home. If this is done, more than half of the problems that the pilgrims themselves cause for the Apparitions will disappear, and of course, continue coming to the Shrine of the Apparitions, continue obeying the Messages of the three Sacred Hearts, against everything and everyone.
Will I put this into my head? Another serious fault that people commit, was also shown in this Message, those who think that praying at home, in the churches of the cities, and at the place of the Apparitions is the same thing. Prayer at home has its value, prayer in the Church also has its value, as was explained in the Message, and prayer in the Shrines, places of the Apparitions, has its value, to which nothing compares. The logic is simple, the Chapels and Churches were man's initiative to pray, and to go to God, while the Shrines of the Apparitions were God's own initiative to communicate and come to man.
The Shrines of the Apparitions are unique places where Heaven touched the earth, where God himself came down to speak, to communicate with man, and this is not granted to all places of prayer.
This is the greatness of Fatima, Lourdes, La Salette, Montichiari, Medjugorje, Quibeho, Garabandal, and now the Shrine of the Apparitions in Jacareí, it is a great sin to say that the prayers made at home, or in the simple Churches, have the same value as those of the Shrines, because this is to diminish the honor, the glory, the importance of them, and even to belittle the grace and authority of those who elected and created them.
If this were not so, what would be the point of going on pilgrimage to Rome, to Aparecida, to Fatima, to Lourdes?
Of course this kind of behavior is the fruit of lack of faith, of laziness, of partial adherence, of bad will, of people's ignorance. But it is necessary to give a stop, an end to all this, it seems that in Medjugorje people have already understood this, because those mountains of the Apparitions and the local shrine, live full of people, all the time, no matter the time, and the day of the week. In Medjugorje the Messages of the Blessed Virgin are law, orders, for the Medjugorians, everyone obeys her, everyone is a city only of Her, all of Her, for Her, showing everyone that the places of the Apparitions are different from all the others, elected, singular, special, incomparable. Better a sigh in Fatima than a million prayers in my house, and the same goes for Lourdes, La Salette, Montichiari, the Sanctuary of the Apparitions in Jacareí, Caravajo, Zaragoza, Garabandal, El Escorial, Medjugorje, etc.
Therefore, those who despise or do not recognize the value of the places of the Apparitions, the Marian Shrines, are wrong, and those who teach the ignorant, who do not yet know the right, are even more wrong. It is time to shout on the rooftops what is sensible, true and just. No more injustice to Mary, to God, no more ungratefulness to them, to their shrines, to their seers, enough!
And what am I going to do from now on, I understand what the Message has taught me? Have I truly meditated on its meaning? Do I want to correct myself of my mistakes, of my failures? Change my wrong postures? Wake up to reality? Stop being a useful idiot in the hands of the evil one? Will I stop beating the Sacred Hearts together with my ingratitude, my foolishness, my disobedience, my idolatry to human beings, my adulation and pulling in exchange for the esteem and admiration of human beings?
Will I put Sacred Hearts United and Their Messages first in my life once and for all?
