MESSAGE FROM SANTA LÍDIA

"Dear Brothers! I, LEADY, servant of the Lord and Mother of God, bless you today and give you my peace.

You are called to be the Lord's workers, to prepare his vineyard for his return and you must therefore strive to fulfill this most worthy mission, so that the Lord may find many fruits of holiness when he finally returns.

Be the good workers of the vineyard of the Lord, persevering every day: in the love of God, in the practice of the virtues, in the exercise of all good works, in the observance of the commandments of the Lord, and above all, living as if today were the last day of your lives, and you no longer have tomorrow to do good works for God and the salvation of souls. So that your soul, your heart, always zealous to fulfill what God wants from you, may truly grow each day more: in love, in wisdom and in the fruit of every good work.

Be the good workers of the Lord's vineyard, living as We the Saints live, reckoning for nothing the transient glories, joys and loves of this world and having always as the only good, as the only object of the love of your souls: the Supreme good, God Himself and His will. So that in this way, living always more for Him, your lives may be perfect songs of love and praise to the Lord.

Be true lives immersed in the transcendence of divine love, and your souls be ever more, a living and perfect image of the Lord's love!

Be the good workers of the vineyard of the Lord, seeking always to stretch out your souls: your defects, your weaknesses, strengthening yourselves more and more with the good and strong nourishment of continuous, assiduous, fervent, intimate, profound, recollected prayer and always more done with the heart. With the good nourishment of the saints' life meditation, of their meditations so rich and precious, so deep and true. So that your souls filled with divine wisdom may prefer the wisdom of Heaven more than the wisdom of men. And may your souls thus overcome the vain wisdom of your time, of this world, which is always a vain wisdom without God and so often contrary to the wisdom of God. So that in this way your souls growing ever more in the knowledge of God, of His love, of His will, of His law may become wise in His eyes, despising all that the devil, that the world and the flesh offer you as true good, and seeking ever more the truly precious things that are the heavenly things.

Be the good workers of the vineyard of the Lord, bringing ever more His Word, the Word of Mary Most Holy, Our Word to all souls who do not yet know Us. So that, knowing Our Love, knowing how much we want to save them, how much we want them to be happy by Our side forever in Heaven, souls bound with love for the Lord, for the Blessed Virgin Mary, for Heaven, may surrender themselves to Us, give themselves to Us, allow themselves to be guided by Us, formed by Us, lead by Us ever more in the direction of the perfect fulfillment and will of the Lord. In this way, your souls, planting the seed of the Word of the Lord in so many hearts, will cause seeds of holiness, goodness, love and divine life to germinate in many hearts. And the Lord will finally see His Vineyard grow day by day until it becomes the green Vineyard, a greenery for His greatest joy, glory and satisfaction.

Be the good workers of the vineyard of the Lord, giving more and more the example of fulfilling the Messages, an example of obedience to the Messages of the Lord, the example of obedience and love to the Messages of the Mother of God, so that it may be so, May your souls truly be very bright mirrors that give the Lord the joy of seeing His luminous reflection spread over souls, the world and the nations, banishing all darkness and making ever more of His love triumph over the evil of hell, light over darkness, good over evil.

Be the good workers of the Lord's vineyard, persevering in every good work, renouncing all kinds of evil, fleeing occasions of sin and fighting bravely to overcome your own corrupt self, so that you may be true champions of the Lord worthy of the medal of honor and the crown that He will give you when He comes to give to each worker according to what he has produced, how he has produced and where he has produced.

Be the good workers of the vineyard of the Lord, being as I myself have been, industrious, never idle, in the search of the will of the Lord, in the fulfillment of His will and in the accomplishment of His divine blessing.

The Lord will come soon, to give to each worker according to his works. Fill your hands with good and holy fruits, sanctifying your time on earth, being the good workers of the Lord's vineyard.

To all at this moment, I bless and cover with the most precious and generous blessings from Heaven.

Peace. Peace Marcos, beloved Mine, my beloved friend".

Saint Lydia

YOUR PARTY ON AUGUST 3RD

Lydia, the firstborn of European Christianity, was a pagan who was more "God-fearing," that is, a proselyte of the Hebrew religion, was Jewish in Philippi in Macedonia, where the Apostle Paul, in the company of Silas, Timothy and Luke, arrived on the second missionary journey between the 50s and 53s. The missionaries of Christ, after having stepped on European soil, waited for the Sabbath to meet the Hebrew coreligionists in a place, on the bank of the river, where they assumed they could gather (in the absence of a synagogue) for common prayer and the reading of some page of Scripture. "On Saturday - St. Luke recounts in the Acts of the Apostles - we went out the door on the banks of the river where we supposed to pray. Sitting down we addressed the women who had gathered. One of them, called Lydia, a purple merchant from the city of Thyatira, worshipped God and listened to us. The Lord opened her heart so that she adhered to Paul's words. Lidia was supposed to be wealthy and had a lot of authority in her family, since the fabric she worked with was precious, and her testimony was enough for her relatives to ask for baptism, accepting the missionaries at home as welcome guests. The missionaries of Christ thus achieved their first conquest on European soil: a woman, Lydia, prototype and symbol of all the women they would bring within the walls of their home, the flame of faith in Christ. The rich merchant, docile to grace, had set the interests of the spirit before those of the economy, abandoning commerce to gather with other women in proseuca (a place of prayer), by the banks of the river Gangas. Lidia, brought to her soul by the Apostle's words and baptismal grace, asked with sweet insistence, or rather, forced the missionaries to accept her hospitality. In this way, the house of Lydia became the first community center, the first church in Europe. For the Church of Philippi, perhaps, also because of Lydia's merit, St. Paul had words of touching tenderness, calling these Christ "dear and clumsy, joy and crown". Although we lack information about the cult of St. Lydia, the signs of her holiness are evident in her prompt response to grace.
