www.incamminocongiulio.it Montecorvino Rovella, January 30, 2017, 12.35. Today, as already occurred on 24 March 2015 (and at other times in the past around Holy Week) the Little Baby [Jesus] lying on a small pillow and kept inside a transparent glass case, wept blood. The miraculous event occurred in the house and the presence of the stigmatic Giulio Massa. The Charismatic immediately turned to the Lord with prayers of reparation; in the afternoon, at 18.10, while he was absorbed in prayer, in communion with others, priests and faithful in Italy and in other parts of the world, Giulio had an ecstasy during which he received a message of Jesus that we report as follows: My son, men are destroying each other with such violence. They strive without a goal, because in touching the darkness [they] remain in spiritual poverty. Verily I ask you for a rich spiritual life, and this is achieved through prayer, surrendering and offering [yourselves] to me. My Heart knows the needs of every soul and also knows its smallness. My Heart feels the warmth and coldness of every heart. I wait for you all to place you before my Mercy, my love. Do not turn your back on my merciful Heart; I know, I know, I know, today man wants to take my place. Today my enemy, increasingly fierce against me and against my children, becomes an evil trinity called power, desecration and pride. The powerful of this world have raised so many altars to this idol and given plenteous space to it in their lives. Gradually three quarters of this world are coming under the dominion of the beast, dominion that men, cruel and without love towards me, have created in order to erase completely the memory of my sacrifice on the cross. This generation will see many events move forward; you must stand firm in me, I am really alive in you when you nourish yourselves with my Body, and only by nourishing yourselves with Me will I be really alive in your souls to lead you there where the true world will be reborn, where man will be in the image of the Father. Verily, I ask you for nights and days of prayers, in order that dark hearts might change and turn back to me. I await the sincere repentance of those peoples who have forgotten, refused me. I wait with tears of pain but full of mercy. My heart lets itself be moved by the one who has faith, and it is I who gives their faith to them with My Word of Truth. I will always be with you, now you forever. I love you and I bless you in union with the Father and the Holy Spirit.
I am strongly reminded in my heart that while it is good to open to the messages of heaven from all over the world calling us to prayer and conversion, it is not enough to read them but to respond to them in a real way in our own lives. Time is very , very short. I am just of to mass and confession. Frequent mass, frequent confession. Prayer. Be prepared, time is very,very short. Don't waste it.
Praying as I go to bed. Have to get to confession tomorrow. Mercy upon us all, Jesus, and the precious gift of endurance. St Jose, pray for us! safe in the Refuge of the Immaculate Heart!
I woke up last night Terry and a strange question came to my mind. What if a Doctor was to tell me I was to die in the next few weeks , how would I take it? Would I be prepared to face the Judgement Seat of God? The answer I got back was no , I would not. Catholics used to consider the four last things (Death, Judgement and Heaven of Hell ) as very much part of their spiritual duty. In fact many religious kept a skull in their cells to remind them. The thought of death has not crossed my mind for many years. But as St Paul says, Philippians 2:12 Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed--not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence--continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, View attachment 6040
I get messages from all over the world asking for prayer on a private basis. But lately in the last few months people's descriptions of their circumstances indicate very strongly the direct attacks of Satan. There is for instance one lady whose neighbours seem to have gone totally insane with outright wickedness and launch repeated attacks on her. Another lady who seems to have fallen off her bike very suddenly and being seriously injured , but it was as though again she were pushed by an unseen hand. These kind of things are thematic. God is plucking His roses. He needs peoples suffering to remedy the great wickedness in the world and so permits these attacks so that these victim souls can both suffer and make amends. There are no accidents. We saw this request for offering up at Fatima. 'Oh my God forgive us our sins, Lead all souls to heaven, Especially those in most need of your mercy'. http://www.fatima.org/essentials/message/msgtoindivis.asp The Message Addressed to Individuals At Fatima, the Blessed Mother did not ask individual souls for anything particularly difficult. She repeated to men a message they had been ignoring for some time. Our Lady of Fatima stressed the need for individual souls to stop sinning and return to God, as God is being grievously offended and countless souls are falling into hell because of their sins. Our Lady of Fatima stressed the need for prayer, sacrifice and penance the penance of each person fulfilling his or her daily duty well, obeying Gods laws, avoiding the near occasions of sin and acting in accordance with His will in all things. Of course, God will reward those souls who generously perform extra penances, as the three shepherd children did. When the children tied rough rope around their waists as a penance, Our Lady told them: "God is satisfied with your sacrifices." We have been told, "From every one who has been given much, much will be required" (Luke 12:48). Those of us to whom God has given much should strive to generously use our talents and make greater sacrifices for His greater honor and glory, lest we be judged for wasting our gifts. Our Lady also stressed to each person the need for prayer and the great value of prayer. St. Alphonsus tells us that "he who prays will be saved; he who does not pray will be damned." Our Lady instructed the children to recite at least five decades of the Rosary daily, and to pray especially for peace, for poor sinners and for the Holy Father. In the Fatima Message we learn that if we turn to God in humble prayer confident and persevering He will respond, and give us many graces in return: "The Hearts of Jesus and Mary are attentive to the voice of your supplications", the Angel told the children. The Five First Saturdays devotion was also given to individuals, in order to gain the grace of final perseverance at ones death and to console Marys wounded Heart. If individuals respond to the requests of Our Lady of Fatima, they will gain many benefits. They will be granted peace in their hearts and in their families. They will help to save many souls from hell. They will appease God and console the Immaculate Heart of Mary, and will receive numerous graces. And when enough souls have responded to Our Lady of Fatimas requests, then the Pope and the bishops will finally consecrate Russia and there will be peace in the world. If individuals do not respond to the requests made by Heaven at Fatima, however, they will have a terrible price to pay. The world will be afflicted with wars, famine, the martyrdom of the good, persecution of the Church and the Holy Father, the annihilation of nations, and apostasy from the one true Faith. Yet even worse than these material chastisements, they will be in grave danger of losing their souls for all eternity in hell. The present state of the world attests to the fact that most individuals have chosen to ignore the requests of Our Lady of Fatima: wars rage the world over, the Church is in a state of crisis, apostasy is almost everywhere, millions of the innocent unborn are murdered every year. And meanwhile God and the Immaculate Heart are increasingly offended, as men continue to draw Gods wrath upon themselves through their stubborn adherence to sin and their refusal to reform their lives in conformity with Gods will.
Everyone suffers of course. But I have to say that there seem to be certain souls who have most certainly been tapped by GOd to walk to Calvary in a very,very special manner indeed. St Bernadette seems to have been one such. Recall what Our Lady said to her, 'I cannot promise you happiness in this life'.. But as the psalmist says, 'Those who are sowing in tears will sing when they reap'.
Yes. We have only to look at the horrifying pictures on the nightly news to see what a world without God looks like--we were warned, we are being warned. I draw great hope from the fact that God was willing to save Sodom for the sake of 10 righteous souls. Unfortunately they could not be found. Our job surely is to be those 10 righteous souls in whatever circumstance wherever we can. Hard. And persecuted. But so so so necessary.
This quote from Our Lady should give solace to everyone who suffers...especially for those who suffer for the faith....your reward will be great in heaven. This life is short....heaven is eternal....take heart...keep the faith....fight the good fight......you happiness in heaven awaits!
Excellent point AED. I do trust that I'm in the remnant of ten. But we must be humble as well. My mother was a saintly woman and a great example for her three boys. But why do I now have faith and my older brother by 11 months does not? There is mystery there and a good reason to approach our ultimate death with fear and trembling (see post #4). Safe in the Refuge of the immaculate Heart!
Yes mario. Fear and trembling for we have no righteousness in ourselves. Only God is good. We must stay faithful in spite of our sins and weaknesses and for me that means daily pleas for grace to stay faithful. And it is a tight rope. I know what you mean about the mystery of who has faith and who hasn't. I've experienced this too. I see it in my own family. They had it and they lost it. I pray continuously for their return. I don't understand why I found my way back when others didn't. But I know because of it more is required and that is sobering!
I too am astounded how I was pulled out of darkness, while most are content in it. One of the 15 promises of praying the rosary often and faithfully is "all you ask for through the rosary will be granted" provided we are not praying for material things, but things essential to the faith, ie., the salvation of my family members. So in our rosary we bind our children to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. This takes a huge weight load off my shoulders knowing God will grant Mary all she asks for. It's really amazing how simple the faith really is when we seek the Will if God and not our own.
I am now starting to realize that it is not in finding the 10 righteous souls, no, it is in helping to make 10 righteous souls through God's grace he is extending us at this moment. Just in the past few months I have opened the hearts of three work colegues who for some reason God has given me the means to share our Catholic faith with. Two are not Catholic (but they now want to be) and the third is safety officer for work (fallen away Catholic) who visited our site and after opening up to him on the signs of the times, even within the Church, he said he hasn't been to church in 25 years and is married with 2 grown children. He was totally open to what the Spirit was speaking through me and said he plans on going back now with his wife. If you have ever seen the lights go on when you are sharing faith, you know what I mean. It is a great feeling that you can't stop praising God for. I am telling you, God is opening up hearts right now, so don't be afraid to share your faith!
Exactly.....the rosary, as simple as it is, is the answer. Just trust in it...for all of those in your family who are away from the faith. They will return !
Great news, Fatima! God be praised! Thanks for allowing God to use you. You are salt that has not lost its taste and light that brings glory to our heavenly Father! Safe in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary!
