I’m in! I’m having an art show at my church this weekend. Featuring the spiritual, religious art I’ve done. I’m excited but already worn out just putting it all together.
I’ve got it. I'm sorry, Padraig, if I caused any awkwardness. Although I've known the forum for several years and visit it regularly, I apparently hadn't thought about it. I guess I couldn't see the forest for the trees.
It's OK it does not matter. We live in the most extraordinary times I think at least in my lifetime. Events forthcoming will be the most startling in the history of the World. How could we help discussing them? But then again the train has to run on tracks or it will run all over the place, so it maybe needs to put on track again. I have no doubt in the near future there will be even more startling events to knock us all of track.
Thank you so much!! I haven’t tried one on my own yet, without a tutorial. When I do the might not be as good.
Eduardo – I Pleaded; But Many Did Not Listen Virgin Mary, Rosa Mystica, Queen of Peace, to, Eduardo Ferreira on April 12, 2026, in São José dos Pinhais, Brazil My children, peace! On this very special day (the Feast of Divine Mercy), I invite you to pray for peace for all humanity. My children, do not disregard your mother’s voice. My beloved children, listen to me carefully: over the years, I have been coming from heaven to be with you. I have visited various cities, spoken to the little ones, and chosen simple instruments to convey my messages. Beloved children, I have passed through Aracoiaba, Campinas, Pesqueira, Erechim, Itaúna, Natividade, Mococa, Itajaí, Taquari, and here, São José dos Pinhais.* And in all these places, I spoke, I called, I pleaded; but many did not listen. My children, heaven does not speak in vain. When a mother comes from heaven, She does not come to be ignored, She does not come to be scorned, nor to become a cause of cold doubt and a closed heart. I come as a call of love. But how many reject without discerning, how many criticize without praying, how many judge without seeking the truth. This deeply saddens my heart. My children, do not reject what you do not understand. Do not close your hearts to grace. Do not despise the signs that God sends you. For I tell you: heaven is often rejected and only recognized too late. And how many graces are lost, how many conversions fail to take place, how many souls are not saved because hearts grow hard. My children, be vigilant! Spiritual pride blinds. Indifference drives away. Hardness of heart hinders God’s action. I do not come in order to divide. I come to unite. But the enemy sows doubt, confusion, and rejection, in order to separate you from grace. My children, if you cannot understand everything, at least pray. If you have doubts, at least do not reject. If you do not see, at least do not close your heart. For whoever closes themselves hinders God’s action in their own life. My children, the times are serious. The world is far from God, and heaven continues to call, but it will not call forever in the same way. There will come a time when many will wish they had listened and will no longer be able to turn back. Therefore, as a mother, I say to you: Receive with humility. Discern with prayer. And do not reject without love. I am your mother, the Mystical Rose, Queen of Peace. I do not come to confuse you; I come to save you, but I respect your freedom, my children. And so I say to you with sorrow: Do not reject the voice of your Heavenly Mother. My children, listen to me while I am still speaking, for silence will also come. Pray, pray much. With love I bless you.
