Refuge Information

Since we are asked so many questions concerning the refuges, we are giving you as complete a picture as we can from all of the messages. We are going to experience a modern day Exodus. Just as the Israelites went out into the desert and were given the manna and quail, we will be in a similar situation.

Where are refuges?

They are all over the world. Some are places of Our Lady’s apparitions, monasteries, convents, or churches where the Blessed Sacrament has been honored and adored for many years called holy ground places. Some people after much prayer have been led to prepare their homes for a refuge. In the mountainous regions there will also be caves. Some may find that difficult, but Jesus reminds us that He was born in a cave and fled to a cave in Egypt. Also, there will be a natural light in the cave and the temperature is around 50° F. All of the places of refuge will have a miraculous spring of water for healing, and there will be a luminous cross over them. Those who look upon the luminous cross will be healed of all diseases and infirmities. At the refuges the food that you have will be multiplied. The angels will provide the manna and like the quail of the Exodus, deer will be provided. The evil ones will not be able to detect the faithful at the refuges by sight, sound, scent, or any other means of detection.

What supplies should we bring to refuges?

First, we need our spiritual blessed sacramentals: Bibles, rosaries, scapulars, St. Benedictine crosses, holy water, and blessed candles. Physical things to bring would be extra food, water, warm clothes, a deer knife, and shovel. We are to do what we can to prepare in a reasonable manner. What is needed is trust, love, and prayer and not fear or anxiety. We are to share what we have and not hoard it because what we need will be multiplied.

How do we know when to go to refuges?

It will be after the Warning experience and there will be many problems going on in the world. When we see the three signs: 1)the world famine where people will be killing for food, 2)a division in the Church, 3)mandatory chips in the body will be implemented. Then you are to pray to Jesus for Him to have your guardian angel lead you with a physical sign to the nearest place of refuge. This is similar to the Israelites being led by the pillar of fire by night and the cloud by day. It is not really necessary to know where you will go, just trust in God. If there is fuel for your car, you may drive at least part of the way, but bicycles or foot will be needed the rest of the way. The refuges will be protected by angels who will be visible and they will protect you even from a nuclear attack. The dwellings will be multiplied in large areas, and floors will be added where there is limited space. We will know the people that will be with us as they will be marked with a cross on their foreheads. Those without a cross will not be with us. Some of the faithful are marked now and the rest will be after the Warning. We know this is very difficult to believe and understand, but the Lord is going to do the impossible.

Exorcism Prayer Over Property; Consecration of Property

In the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Our help is in the Name of the Lord:

Who made Heaven and earth.

Father in Heaven, You are the Creator of the earth and of all that fills it; You are the Source of all life and of all goodness, and You constantly bestow Your blessings upon those who place their trust in You. In Your Name, and in the Name of Jesus Christ, Your Son, and of the Holy Spirit, and through the spiritual authority granted to the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church, I exorcise this property and these buildings of every evil power and influence, and command in the Name of the Most Holy Trinity that every evil spirit be put to flight and be forever barred from returning here; that every hex, conjuring, spell, curse, or form of deception or oppression be shattered; and that every evil scheme or temptation be exposed, unmasked, and broken–for the Glory of the Most Holy Trinity and the salvation of the entire people of God, particularly those who live or visit here.

In the Name of the Most Holy Trinity, I consecrate this property to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus and to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, the Mother of God, and in Their Name, I summon all holy angels and archangels, from this time forward, to guard this property and all who live here or come here, from all evil and all harm. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, and the ministry of the angels assigned here, may anyone not called to this place of refuge be blinded to all the traffic that comes here; may anyone seeking to infiltrate this refuge for any purpose contrary to the Will of Almighty God be rendered incapable of any unholy act, and be convicted of the need for heartfelt repentance; and may all who come here in response to the call of Our Lord and Our Lady be kept safe from every physical and spiritual harm, and be truly open to the words of truth proclaimed here, and the blessings of God bestowed here. May all of us fulfill the mission assigned to us in a spirit of gratitude, trust, and humility, and may we be filled with a spirit of wisdom, courage, and fortitude. We ask this in the Name of Jesus Christ, our Lord, Who lives and reigns with the Father and the Holy Spirit, One God, forever and ever. Amen.

His Holiness Pope Paul VI has confirmed on October 14, 1966 the Decree of the Sacred Congregation for the promulgation of the Faith (Acta Apostolicae Sedis No. 58/16 of December 29, 1966) that allows the publication of writings concerning the supernatural manifestations even if these writings are not approved by the “nihil obstat” of the Ecclesiastic Authorities.
