MESSAGE FROM SAINT FLAVIA DOMITILA

COMMUNICATED TO SEER MARCOS TADEU TEIXEIRA

"Marcos, I FLÁVIA DOMITILA , come here once again today with the MOTHER OF GOD, with SANTA ANA to say:

ONLY GOD IS ONLY GOD WILL BE!

Therefore, every man must serve Him, love Him, and worship Him with all the strength of his heart!

The path of virtue, the path of holiness is arduous, it is difficult and stony, but with Our help, with the help of the Saints of the LORD the soul passes over the stones, the soul safely reaches the end of the path and is crowned with the crown of eternal life.

I in My life have known many sufferings for My faith and faithfulness to the LORD, but at no time have I been discouraged, at no time have I looked even for an instant at creatures and I have never had, given in to the temptation to exchange the love of My LORD for the ephemeral and passing love of creatures.... The same love I want you to have, and I want to infuse in you! Every day I want to lead you along the path of this perfect Love that knows how to renounce itself. That knows how to give itself to the Beloved, to GOD and to Mary Most Holy. That does not seek any material or spiritual benefit in exchange for the love and service given!

I want to lead you to that Love that wants only to give love and receive Love from its LORD.

' LOVE FOR LOVE' this was and always will be the love of the true Saints. It is this love that you must have in you, that you must put in your hearts, that you must live, practice and teach others!

Oh! How much the most Sacred Hearts rejoice to see that here this true love is taught, is propagated and that the errors of false devotion, of false love, of false faith are combated.

How They rejoice to see that here the true love for the LORD and the Mother of GOD is taught, is preached, is propagated with energy, with courage, with strength and constancy.

This love must be taught to everyone!

This love should be spread to everyone!

So that thus the disease of false love, of false devotion will finally be extirpated from the face of the earth and the world will truly seek and love GOD and the MOTHER of GOD in spirit, in truth and in life...

Marcos, I, am here and bless you constantly every day.

I also bless those who love these Messages more than anything, and renounce everything for the love of Them.

I bless all those who, truly come here seeking GOD and the MOTHER of GOD with pure love, with the desire for pure love! With the right intention to know them, love them and please them always more and better.

I am the defender of all these souls of good will!

I am the defender and the protector of all those who come here with the true thirst, with the true hunger to love GOD and the MOTHER of GOD with pure, perfect, unselfish, holy and faithful love.

Let them have recourse to Me and they will receive great favors for both body and soul.

I will take more pleasure in granting spiritual graces for the sanctification of all.... But My desire to help you is so great, that these graces have overflowed even in temporal matters!

Let them ask for My protection!

Let them supplicate Me with many novenas and prayers! And the graces I will obtain, for these devotees of Mine, for I enjoy great favor with the Most Sacred United Hearts.

The soul who prays to any of Us, to any of the Saints who have come Here and to those in Heaven with the right intention to please GOD and to attain the grace of Perfect Love , to attain the grace of holiness, can be sure that they will attain all these graces. And even the temporal matters that are related to these spiritual graces, that is, of the service of GOD, the sanctification of the soul, and the salvation of the world, even these graces will be granted.

I, FLÁVIA, bless you Marcos... And I bless you copiously... I bless everyone who has come here today to pray with you sincerely and to hear and know the will of the LORD and the LADY MOTHER OF GOD.... Peace!..."

Flavia Domitila was a noblewoman at the time of the Roman Empire, she was the wife of the governor Flavius, being a close relative of Vespasian, Domitian and Titus, she was born in Rome in the 1st century, after her conversion she was exiled to an island where she suffered martyrdom for standing firm in her Christian convictions, she died renouncing a life of riches and luxuries embracing the humility of being a Christian.

In São Paulo, in the neighborhood of Pirituba, precisely in Pq. Maria Domitila there is a church that is dedicated in her memory, there is an image there that was conceived by the founders at the time of its inauguration in the early 70's.

But what is real about the life of Saint Flavia Domitila is that she was a noble Roman lady, wife of consul Flavius Clement and niece of Emperor Vespasian, Domitian's father.

These data were found in an inscription of the time, preserved in the basilica of Saints Nereus and Achilles, who also died beheaded for their testimony in Christ.

In the first century, she faced the wrath of the court for not hiding her faith in Christ. Banished from social life, she was later tried and sentenced to exile, being deported to the island of Ponza.

Her death was slow, cruel, and painful, on an abandoned island, without the least conditions for survival, as St. Jerome wrote about her.

Saints Nereus and Achilles were soldiers attached to the military court.

Converted to the Christian faith, they abandoned the army.

Brothers, they were both in the service of Saint Flavia Domitile, with whom they shared the tribulations of exile on the island Ponza.

SAINT FLAVIA DOMITILA BETWEEN SAINT NEREUS AND SAINT ACHILLES

The historian Eusebius says that this noble lady of Rome had been sent into banishment by order of Domitian because she had also proclaimed her faith to the Divine Redeemer.

According to St. Jerome "the exile was so cruel and long that this in itself would have served them as martyrdom"

Therefore, they were condemned to death probably in the time of Diocletian, and later suffered they delivered their souls by fire and sword, receiving in Eternity the palm of martyrdom in defense of the faith.

The Sepulchre of the saints is preserved in the cemetery of via Ardeatina, where there is a Basilica built in their honor.

NEREUS, FLAVIA, AND ACHILLES

The day of Saint Flavia Domitile is always celebrated on May 7, the probable date of her martyrdom.

ANOTHER VERSION:

There are many more traditions involving the existence of Flavia Domitila than proven historical documents. Her name and holiness were so widespread, in the early days of Christianity, that her life was blended into these traditions by the transmission of the faithful themselves who fixed her cult.

Flavia Domitila was allegedly converted to Christianity by two eunuchs. While she was preparing for marriage to the son of a consul, Nereus and Achilles told her about Christ and the beauty of virginity, "sister of the Angels." She reportedly abandoned the marriage and converted immediately.

Yet the emperor himself, nonconformist, tried to overcome the refusal for the young woman's engagement with an afternoon dance in her honor. The sudden death of the groom himself took place in the midst of the dancing. According to tradition, Flavia Domitila burned to death in an arson fire that destroyed her home, being caused by a brother of the groom.

But what is real about the life of Saint Flavia Domitile is that she was a noble Roman lady, wife of consul Flavius Clement and niece of Emperor Vespasian, Domitian's father. This data was found in an inscription of the time, preserved in the basilica of Saints Nereus and Achilles, who also died beheaded for their testimony in Christ.

In the first century, she faced the wrath of the court for not hiding her faith in Christ. Banished from social life, she was later tried and sentenced to exile, being deported to the island of Ponza.

prayer

Lord, through the merits of St. Flavia Domitile,

I ask You for forgiveness

for all the times I have not been consistent with the teachings of Jesus.

For my selfishness,

for the times I have judged and condemned my brothers,

for not seeing the needs of those around me,

I ask You for the grace of faithfulness and perseverance in Your Word so that in the practice of charity

I may discover the joy of being a Christian.

Saint Flavia Domitile, pray for me
