Why should we pray to Virgin Mary? The reasons are many.
Why do Catholics pray to Mother Mary? Is Rosary really powerful?
The intercession of Mother Mary is very powerful as Jesus cannot neglect His mothers commands.This can be proved by the first miracle Jesus did at the wedding at Cana. – (John 2:1-11). Mother Mary told Jesus “They have no more wine.” And what was the final result? He turned water into wine.
In “The Poem of the Man-God” by Maria Valtorta, she says that Jesus told her about this incident as “I did it for Mary”. This proves that the intercession of Mother Mary is very very strong.
Mother Mary was blessed with Holy Spirit abundantly. We can see this as we read “At that time Mary got ready and hurried to a town in the hill country of Judea, where she entered Zechariah’s home and greeted Elizabeth. When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.” (Luke 1:39-41) ; just by Virgin Mary’s greeting.
Listen to the talk from Apologetics on Mary, Purgatory and The Bible
What the angels thought on this matter:-
When angel appeared before Zechariah,father of John, angel just greets him by his name ,nothing more although he was “upright in the sight of God, observing all the Lord’s commandments and regulations blamelessly.” – (Luke 1:6)
When angel appeared before Joseph, the greeting was like this: “an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.” – (Matthew 1:20). Angel greeted him ‘son of david’, thats all.
Now let us see how did the angel greet Virgin Mary. It goes like this: “The angel went to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.” (Luke 1:28). See the difference….

Mother of Salvation: Pray for my Son’s Mercy so that all suffering can be diluted
Thursday September 18th, 2014, 15:30
My dear child, you must ask everyone to ask for God’s Mercy in all those matters, which involve the destruction of humanity. I refer to the wicked plans involving wars; plans to introduce a global vaccine – which you were warned about in the message of 26 November 2010 (message 20) – genocide and the murder of Christians, as well as other people of different religions, by the hands of evil men.
When a soul is infested by Satan, it is capable of the most intense hatred for God’s children. When groups of men work together, in complete subjugation to the evil one, their wickedness is manifested in every act so as to cause death and destruction to those over whom they control.
You must pray, all of you, to hinder the plans of evil men whose desire is to reduce the world’s population, for their own gain. Those who are spared this evil will find themselves under the control of an invisible group. I call upon each and every one of you to pray to my Son, Jesus Christ, in order to help mitigate such tragedies and wickedness. Some of these horrors can be mitigated, but not all of them. Your prayers will, however, dilute the impact of these terrible acts, which are carried out by followers of the evil one. Please recite this Crusade Prayer to help mitigate the murder of innocents.
Children, when the prophecies foretold happen, it is important that you pray for my Son’s Mercy so that all suffering can be diluted and that wicked deeds, perpetrated against humanity, can be allayed.
Go in peace and love to serve the Lord.
Your beloved Mother

Mother of Salvation: Beware of the man, who declares himself to be the Son of Man
Friday, September 19th, 2014, 13:14
My dear child, it has been foretold that many false prophets will arise and that, during this time, they will spread untruths about the Word of God.
They will arise in their hundreds of thousands and be endorsed by those who claim to represent my Son’s servants. They will preach in small, as well as large, groups and you will know them by the false prophecies, which they will reveal to the world. They will be seen as very holy people, and some will say that they have great healing powers of the flesh as well as the spirit. Some will wear the garments of holy men and they will promote a new missal, which will deviate from the Truth. Many people will be confused by their teachings, as they will mix their false claims with part of the Truth. One of their objectives will be to be seen to prepare the world for the Second Coming of Christ and they will create great anticipation of this event amongst my Son’s followers. But, it will not be my Son, Jesus Christ, they will be preparing God’s children to welcome. No. It will be the antichrist.
Grave errors, will be revealed by them in connection with the Book of Revelation as they will twist the contents of this Holy Book. Few will know that they are being fed lies and the greatest untruth, which they will proclaim, will be this. They will say that Jesus Christ, the Son of Man, will make Himself known in the world soon. That He will come in the flesh. That he will walk amongst His people and that He will raise them up on the last day. This could never happen for my Son, who came in the flesh, the first time, through His Birth, will never come in the flesh at His Second Coming.
Beware of the man, who declares himself to be the Son of Man, who calls you to him, for he will not be from God. My Son will come in the clouds just as He left the earth during His Ascension into Heaven so, too, will it be on the last day.
Your beloved Mother

I never criticised sinners. I never cursed them. I never hurt them.
Saturday, September 20th, 2014, 16:38
My dearly beloved daughter, know that out of human weakness I draw great strength. My Power is at its greatest when I touch the souls of the weak, for it is then that I can draw upon them to enable Me to act within them.
To those of you who are weak, you must ask Me to give you the Gift of trust. Trust in Me, My dear little ones, and then all Power is Mine. I cannot draw upon the souls of the proud, the haughty and the arrogant, as they will not humble themselves in My Eyes. Pride is a barrier between man and God because the proud man believes that his voice is greater than Mine. That is the way it has always been. Today it is no different. I ask that you all pray for those souls who misunderstand Me and who feel the need to declare what My Word really means, according to their own interpretation.
When a man curses another and then says this is what God would want when defending His Word, or when he justifies wrongdoing and says that this is a good thing in My Eyes, know this. When you love Me, you will never deviate from the love that I taught or the way in which you must imitate Me. I never criticised sinners. I never cursed them. I never hurt them and I never denounced them. So, too, must you do as I did.
Embrace sinners. Pray for them. For, if you do not, you will defy My Will and your actions will serve only your own flawed view as to Who I Am. You cannot say you are of Me if you preach the opposite to what I taught. Never look down on those you believe to be sinners in My Eyes. Pray for them but never judge them for this is not your right.
Your Jesus

God preserves His Love for man through the family unit
Sunday, September 21st, 2014, 17:45
My dearly beloved daughter, My Heart belongs to all families and it is My Desire to bless every family, small, medium or large at this time. When love is present within families, this means that God’s Power is upheld, for all His children belong to Him. It was He Who created every single one of them.
God preserves His Love for man through the family unit because it is within such circumstances that His Love naturally thrives. The love contained within families who are united yields great Graces because, the love of family members for one another is one of the greatest Gifts from God. God uses the love in the family to spread its wings, so that each member of a loving family will help to spread this love, wherever they go. Likewise, when the family unit breaks down, this will have a direct impact on your community, your society and upon your nations.
When God created Adam and Eve, He desired a family of His Own, upon which He lavished everything. He will always strive to protect families because this is the place where love is first discovered by mortal man. When love thrives in families so, too, will it thrive in those nations. Because the love for one another evolves from the family, it is precisely for this reason, that it is attacked by Satan. Satan will use every influence he can to infest people so that they will justify every reason to break up the family unit. He will prevent families from being formed and he will try to stop it from re-uniting should that be the Will of God.
The family, borne out of the Love of God, will always be attacked by evil. To protect your family from the evil one please recite this Crusade Prayer.
Remember that God created each one of you in His Likeness so that He could create the perfect family. Be thankful for your families for it is one of the greatest Gifts He has bestowed upon the human race. When the suffering on this earth comes to an end, and when hatred is obliterated, God will unite humanity as one in Him. You will become whole again and His Family will have Eternal Life.
Your Jesus

29-Dec-1943 − The Father’s Lesson on the Name of His Son
The Eternal Father says:
«Write, for there is someone who so desires and thinks of this.»
Paul of Tarsus, at one time a supporter of the synedrium and a relentless persecutor of Christ’s disciples, having returned to the Light by way of a divine thunderbolt and become the tireless Apostle of my Son, in the Areopagus of Athens announced to the Athenians that unknown God to whom they had dedicated an altar.
Now as well, many living altars are deprived of their God and could write on their religious nudity at least these words: “To the Unknown God.â€
They do not write even this, inferior in their paganism to the Athenians of old, who, not satisfied with their images without true life and not beclouded by religious apathy, as you are, felt that above the deceitful Olympus of their gods, to whom they had lent their passions and their vices, there was a true and holy God, and they called upon Him to make Himself known through that altar dedicated to Him, upon which there was not yet a statue or a name, as they waited for Divine Revelation to affix them to it.
But you know the true God, for I have been revealing Him to you for ages and ages, and, not satisfied with revealing Him to you, I sent you God Himself, not by a deceitful apparition or fleeting dwelling, but robed in human Flesh and living among you for a whole lifetime.
I gave a name to that Perfection of God’s − remember, O men, that God is Charity, and the compendium and perfection of Charity is had in Christ, who became incarnate to give you Life − who had descended to act in your midst. A holy name willed by Me, for in his Name there is the compendium of his Perfection and his sublime mission. A Name known to God alone in its true meaning. A Name before which the Divinity throbs with more lively ardor, Paradise shines with more beatific splendor with all its processions of angels and saints, the abyss trembles, and the forces of the Universe bend their powers, for they recognize the name of the King through whom all things have been made.
In the thrice holy and powerful name of Jesus is the splendor and glory of the Triune God, for He is the Holy of Holies, in whom there is found, as in the Temple of God, the living, true, and perfect God as He is in Heaven, eternal and active, like a wheel which undergoes no welding and does not cease its movement in the ages and ages preceding man and the ages and ages following man. Hence the Book rightly states, “You, man, will not build the house for my Name, but your son, who will emerge from your entrails, will be the one who will build a house for my Name.â€
The Son of Man, born of a woman of a holy lineage, consecrated to Me, by the will of the Holy Spirit conceived without the weight of carnality, but by an infusion of love alone, the One Born of Mary, who did not open the virginal womb at birth, as at his conception no one violated that womb consecrated to Me − your son through the Mother, O Humanity, and my Son by his divine origin, shall be the One who shall make Himself the House upon which the Glory of my Name is engraved.
For We are inseparable in our Trinity, and in Christ there are the Father and the Son and the Divine Spirit. The Son is nothing but the Word of the Father, who has taken on a form to be Redemption for you. But his annihilation does not break the union of the Three Persons, for the Perfection of God knows no limitation or separation.
How could you contain God in such an infinite and holy temple as the Divinity requires? Only God Himself could be a temple for God and bear his Name without this being an irony and offense. Only God could dwell in Himself and make the temples of man alive with Himself, upon which the name affixed by man is no longer fallacious because I have given you that Name.
Only God, O Christians, could give you his Name as a sign of salvation upon all the races of the Earth, that Name which the angels will read on the brows of those who will not die eternally and preserve them, through that Name, from the scourges of the final hour, as it has already preserved from the second death the elect who are singing the holiness of my Son in the heavenly dwelling.
Woe to those who deny the Name and offend it by substituting the demoniacal sign of Satan for this Name, which is holy, or who simply allow spiritual languor to forget it as if a corrosive substance were erasing it from their self, which has Life through that Name. Death, true Death, awaits the deniers of the name of my Son, to whom I have submitted all power and all judgment and in whose Name my Majesty bows at each miracle, as in the Universe every creature ought to bow in holy and loving worship.
Oh, children of my Son − who carried his Name to be reddened with Divine Blood on the steep ascent of Calvary and to shine as the only light of the obscured world in the darkness of Good Friday, so that it would be a warning pointing to Heaven, for which you have been made, and it has been shining for centuries to go on reminding you of Heaven, and never as now does it flash out to call you to Itself in this wrath created, incited, and willed by you, wherein you are perishing amidst gurgles of blood and the laughter of demons − O children of my Son, graze once more the Holy Name of Jesus Christ, on the altar of your hearts without God, on the profaned temple of your minds, with your pain turning back to God, with, your hope rising up again to God, with your faith being rebaptized by tears, and with your love rediscovering the way of Charity. Free heart and mind from the images of a cult bringing you spiritual death. Place the true God in them and upon them. Love, sing, invoke, bless, and believe in the Name of my Son.
In the Name of the Just, Holy, Strong One, the Dominator, the Victor. In the Name of Him before whom the Father does not resist and for whom the Spirit effuses his rivers of sanctifying grace. In the Name of the Merciful One, who loves you to the point of having wanted to endure earthly life and death and become Food to nourish your weakness and a Sacrament to remain in your midst beyond his return to Heaven and to bear God into you.
I swear to you by my Holiness: there is not, was not, and shall not be a greater name than This One. I, Triune, am in It with my supreme manifestation of power and love.»
He further states:
«Introduce tomorrow’s date. Jesus Christ, the son of David, ought to have celebrated his Name on the day of the royal Prophet from whom Mary proceeds.»

28-Dec-1943 − Mary on the Sacrifice of Innocence
Mary says: «The first tears of my Child trembled in the air eight days after his Birth. It was the first pain of my Jesus.
He was the Lamb, and like a lamb He was marked with the sign of the Lord so that he would be consecrated to Him − the Firstborn, according to divine and human law, among all the living.
His consecration to God the Father had already taken place in Heaven when He had offered Himself as the Expiator of sin and Redeemer of man, changing his spiritual nature into that of a Man, The Word made Flesh through a loving desire.
The Victim already laid upon the stone of the heavenly altar, a holy Victim with no defect, He did not need other consecrations, always imperfect as compared to his sublime one. But such was the Law, and no one, except those to whom God had revealed the nature of my Son, knew that the Child of the Galilean woman was the Holy One, the Lord’s Anointed, the Eternal Pontiff, the Redeemer and King. The Law thus had to be complied with for this firstborn male, born for the Lord and offered to Him according to his Will.
All of the sons of Abraham were circumcised, but the sign upon the firstborn was truly the ring uniting them to God and consecrating them on the altar. At our altar only those who had first undergone this mystical marriage for the Lord could be offered. The firstborn of the Jews were holy twice over because of both the circumcision and the offering at the Temple. Infinitely holy was the Innocent One who was crying on my breast after having shed the first drops of that Blood which is forgiveness.
If the spirits of those present at the rite had been alive, they would have understood the Majesty that was hidden behind that Flesh of an infant, and they would have worshipped God, appearing among men to take men to God. But then, as now, men’s hearts were encumbered by what is practice and not religion, self-interest and not detachment from the world, egoism and not charity, pride and not humility. The face of God did not appear, then, to their eyes, shining through from the Flesh of the Innocent One.
To know God one must make the search for God the purpose of one’s life. He then reveals Himself with no more mystery − that is, with that portion of mystery which He, in his wisdom, deems good to reserve for you so as not to burn you to ashes with his Radiance, for − know this, Maria − the vision of God as He is − and as in Heaven alone it is granted to see, for in Heaven there are spirits whom sanctity has already made capable of contemplating God − is of such power that our nature can bear it only when made into the likeness of God, just as a son can always see the power and beauty of his father without feeling dismayed and prostrated on this account.
It is in Heaven, beyond human life, that man takes on the true likeness of God; it is then that he can look at Him fixedly and increase his radiance with the Divine Radiance, and his blessedness, contemplating the Love that loves you.
The Blood of my Son, in dripping forth, asked for a purple cortege of additional innocent blood.
Christ’s feet would bodily tread upon the rough terrain of Palestine, rendered even more hostile to his passing by evil human will, which joined its spite, deceit, betrayal, and crime to the brambles and stones along the way.
The King of the Jews and King of the world did not have soft, precious carpets under his foot. Even in the hour of his short-lived human success − so human that, as the result of the exultation of a crowd over the presumed King of the Jews, the one who was to restore glory to the Jewish people, it fell like a puff of wind no longer swelling the sail and turned into a storm − even then He had only poor clothing and olive branches, the homage of the poor, beneath his even poorer mount.
But the God-Man on earth and God in Heaven saw what men did not see; and when my Christ went back to Heaven, after the martyrdom, to receive the Father’s embrace, his pierced Feet flew swiftly over a precious carpet of living purple, which had remained as a holy wake from earth to Heaven when my Son’s first martyrs − the little innocents − had fallen like sheaves of spikes mowed down by the reaper and like meadows of budding flowers cut down to become hay, reddening the way to Heaven with their blood.
Every redemption needs forerunners to prepare it. And not so much with words as with sacrifice. The Redemption, now begun, at its dawning received the sacrifice of innocence slain by ferocity and at its noon the sacrifice of penance killed by the lust for which penance is a reproach.
The Blood of Golgotha fell in the midst of these two heroic kinds of blood to teach you that it is between innocence and penance that the Redeemer rests, and that the Blood of Christ calls your blood to the glory of pain to sanctify it and to sanctify the world by joining itself to the Most Holy Blood of my Son.»

29-Dec-1943 − An Explanation of the Wounds on Christ’s Hands
Jesus says:
«The wounds in my palms, which you have not seen because I rarely move my left hand, both because of the habit contracted in work and because it is more wounded, were inflicted in the following way.
The executioners’ idea was to hang Me by the wrist joints, immediately above the carpus, to make the attachment more secure. And, in fact, after having extended Me on the cross, they pierced my right hand at this point.
But, since the builder of the scaffold had marked the hole on the left (he usually marked the place for the nails to enable them to enter more easily into the thick wood and make the hanging of a body placed not horizontally, but vertically, and with no other support but three long nails, more secure), more distant than the point which my wrist joint could reach, after having stretched my arm to the point of producing the tearing of my tendons, they decided to hammer the nail into the center of my palm, between the bones of the metacarpus.
This is not observed in the Turin Shroud because the right hand covers the left hand. The wounding of the members, suffered intensely, was more immense because, once the cross was raised, when the weight of the Body shifted downward and forward, the nail greatly cut towards the thumb, expanding the hole more than on the right, where the carpus withstood the hanging better than the metacarpus. And it was also the most tormenting, both because it was on the side of the heart and because the nail, on entering, broke the nerves and tendons in the hand, causing an atrocious agony which spread to my head.
Painters and sculptors who out of a sense of art have depicted Me or sculpted Me with my right hand half open and my left hand closed in a fist have, without so desiring, borne witness to a physical truth of my martyred Body, for the left hand really closed into a fist, both in agony and because of the breaking of the cut nerves, and it closed increasingly because the agony and the contraction of the nerve fibers augmented with the passing of the hours.
My agonies on the Cross were numerous. I will tell you about them one day. But this agony of the hands was one of the cruelest. The wound on the right hand is almost completely hidden by the sleeve and is smaller and more regular.
When I appeared to you as the Man of Sorrows heading for Calvary you did not see the wounds on my hands because, as I was not yet crucified, I consequently did not yet have them. On my hands was the blood dripping from my crowned head and my skin, lacerated by scourges, but not the wounds. I will show them to you at a time more consistent than this Christmas period with such a vision of pain.
As regards those words whose true meaning you do not understand, know that they mean “trafficking with Satan.†It is carried out in many ways, all of them cursed by Me. I will also talk to you about this one day. For the time being, know that it is frequently practiced in the world and is the cause of many misfortunes and inexorable punishments here and in eternity.
That’s enough for now. Rest. I am here, and I bless you.»
.
25-Dec-1943 − Mary’s Christmas Ecstasy
Mary says:
«The blessedness of the Christmas ecstasy came to me like the fragrance of a flower enclosed in the living vase of the heart throughout life. Indescribable joy. Human and superhuman. Perfect.
When the coming of each nightfall hammered the painful memento into my heart − “One day less of waiting, one day closer to Calvary†− and my soul emerged therefrom cloaked in pain, as if a wave of agony had covered it, a foretaste of the waves of the tide which would swallow me up on Golgotha, I bent my spirit over the memory of that blessedness which had remained alive in my heart, just as one bends over a mountain gorge to hear the echo of a love song once more and see the house of one’s joy in the distance.
It was my strength in life. And it was, above all, at the hour of my mystical death at the foot of the Cross. In order not to go so far as to say to God − who was punishing us, my gentle Son and me, for the sins of a whole world − that the punishment was too atrocious and that his hand as a Chastiser was too severe, through the veil of the most bitter tears a woman has ever shed I had to concentrate on that luminous, beatific, holy remembrance, which rose up in that hour as a vision of comfort from within my heart to tell me how much God had loved me; it rose up to meet me without waiting for me to seek it, since it was holy joy, for all that is holy is infused with love and love gives its life even to the things which seem not to have life.
Maria, we must act like this when God strikes us.
To remember when God has given us joy, so as to be able to say, even in the midst of torment, “Thank You, my God. You are good to me.’
To seek to make our joys God’s joys − that is, not to procure human joys for ourselves, willed by us and liable to be contrary, like all that is the result of our acting cut off from God, to his Divine Law and Will, but to await joy from God alone.
To preserve the remembrance of those joys even when joy has passed, for the recollection which spurs us towards good and towards blessing God is a memory not to be condemned, but, rather, to be recommended and blessed.
To pervade the darkness of the present hour with the light of that hour in order to make it so luminous that it will be sufficient for us to see the Holy Face of God even in the darkest night.
To temper the bitterness of the chalice with that sweetness we have enjoyed so as to be able to bear its taste and reach the point of drinking it right to the last drop.
To feel the sensation of God’s caress while the thorns are piercing our brow because it has been conserved as the most precious of memories.
These are the seven forms of blessedness set against the seven swords. I give them to you as my Christmas lesson (introduce this date), and, along with you, I give them to all my beloved ones.»

20-Dec-1943 − Comments on Darwinism
Jesus says:
«One of the points at which your pride founders in error − which, above all, degrades precisely your haughtiness by giving you an origin that, if you were less corrupted by pride, you would repudiate as degrading − is that of Darwin’s theory.
In order not to admit God, who, in His power, was able to have created the universe from nothing and man from the already created mud, you take the paternity of a beast as your own.
Don’t you realize you are diminishing yourselves, for − consider this − won’t a beast − no matter how exemplary, selected, improved, and perfected in form and instinct, and, if you wish, even in mental formation − always be a beast? Don’t you realize this? This testifies unfavorably regarding your pride as pseudo-supermen.
But if you fail to realize, I will not be the one to waste words to make you aware of it and converted from the error. I ask you only one question which, in your great numbers, you have never asked yourselves. And if you can answer Me with facts, I will no longer combat this degrading theory of yours.
If man is a spin-off from the monkey, which by progressive evolution has become man, how is it that over so many years in which you have maintained this theory you have never succeeded, not even with the perfected instruments and methods at present, in making a man from a monkey? You could have taken the most intelligent offspring of a pair of intelligent moneys and then their intelligent offspring, and so on. You would now have many generations of selected, instructed monkeys cared for by the most patient, tenacious, and sagacious scientific method. But you would still have monkeys.
If there happened to be a mutation, it would be this: the beasts would be physically less strong than the former ones and morally more degenerate, for, with all your methods and instruments, you would have destroyed that perfection of the monkey which My Father created for these quadrumans.
Another question. If man came from the monkey, how is it that man, even with grafts and repugnant forms of cross-fertilization, does not become a monkey again? You would be capable even of attempting these horrors if you knew that it could give appropriative sanction to your theory. But you do not do so because you know that you would not be able to turn a man into a monkey. You would turn him into an ugly son of man, a degenerate, perhaps a criminal. But never a real monkey. You do not try because you know beforehand that you would get a poor result and your reputation would emerge therefrom in ruins.
For this reason you do not do so. For no other. For you feel no remorse or horror over degrading a man to the level of a beast to maintain a thesis of yours. You are capable of this and of much more. You are already beasts because you deny God and kill the spirit, which distinguishes you from the beasts.
Your science causes Me horror. You degrade the intellect and like madmen do not even realize you are degrading it. In truth, I tell you that many of the primitive are more men than you are.»
.
12-Dec-1943 − The Victim Souls
Jesus says:
«Even the soul most willing to belong to God entirely is subject to being distracted by the needs of existence.
It is not necessary to be a slave to them to be distracted by them. But even if you are already so spiritual that you are more soul than body, as long as the flesh robes your soul as the covering encloses the fruit, you are subject to the exigencies of the flesh.
When reduced to that minimum which I also accepted, they are not a sin, but a duty and an act of prudence.
I did not preach the destruction of the flesh through the flesh by a morbid cruelty to it, like that of certain forms of asceticism in use among religious in different parts of the world. I taught you − and showed you by my example − that it is not necessary to be concerned about the flesh, which dies, but about the immortal soul; I taught you not to be afraid of what may kill your bodies, but of what kills your spirits; I taught that if you are given a choice between the preservation of the body and the preservation of the soul, you must always choose what preserves the soul. But I did not teach you merely to torture the flesh out of a mistaken religious interpretation and much less out of hypocritical religion.
In truth I tell you that, even if you fast with your mouths and then do not fast with your hearts by refusing to do harm to your neighbor with your actions, words, and thoughts as well, your fasting is detestable to Me and means death for your souls, for practices without charity are nothing but a heaping up of stones for the lapidation of your eternal future.
As I tell you, “Do not slay your souls with the actions of the flesh,†so I say to you, “Do not slay your flesh with behavior that is not holy, but simply fanatical.†Be holy in spirit, thought, feeling, works, and flesh.
How, then, can you get life not to distract you and get the soul, as your queen, to keep the subject-flesh under a dominion where there is no injustice?
With love. Love is your teacher and, like the conductor of an orchestra, directs all your actions, which, like the varied instruments of an orchestra, fuse into a single sound full of harmony that may be a slight melodic phrase, a more complex passage, or even a grandiose symphony, according to your power in loving.
The giants of love obtain the full, imposing chorus of a surpassing symphony, where angels and saints join in − they do not see the giants of love still living on the earth, but with a seraphic spirit, as different from themselves.
The loving ones − when they comprehend that faithful ardor obtains the growth of the lover and makes him or her a giant of love − are already able to sing their melody, over which angels and saints bend, ready to join in.
Those willing to love will be able only to repeat a melodic phrase − like a sparrow’s call to the sun delaying in assailing him with its golden rays, for he cannot fly high up, like a skylark celebrating the dawn, to meet the sun, transporting the body, whose weight is canceled out by desire, beyond his capacities for flight, and his song, beyond his possibilities for withstanding − until falling, destroyed by desire, when, having reached the good sought after, they die in the rejoicing of fusion with the golden ray. But even that timid, short call − for it is faithful and is all that creature can give − is blessed by God and protects that being’s actions from contamination.
Who are the giants of love? They are the victim-souls.
You divide them into victims of justice, victims of expiation, and victims of love. But make no distinctions! The victim is always a victim of love.
Who expiates? Why do they expiate? Out of love for their brothers and sisters, for whom they pay the portion of expiation which would correspond to the others: love of one’s neighbor pushed to the point of heroism. “Who are the victims of justice? To whom do they offer themselves? To God, offended, to offer Him comfort in the face of the offense. Love of God pushed to the point of heroism.
Love is the eternal sacrificer. What immolated God made Flesh and what immolates your flesh and soul, making them similar to Christ the Redeemer.
The victim soul is sure, as if she were already enclosed in my eternal Kingdom, of being saved, for her every heartbeat, movement, word, feeling, and action is sanctified by love, which protects her entirely from human contamination.
The victim-soul is in prayer even when not expressing prayer.
The victim soul penetrates into Me and, from the center of my Heart, which calls her “Sister,†takes and distributes graces and blessings for her brothers and sisters. There are no limitations for my victims. All that is mine is theirs, for they have wanted to offer their being to the eternal Sacrificer. The victim soul is extended over an aculeus whose peaks are pain and love. Pain over not seeing God loved as their heroism in love has allowed them to see that God should be loved.
More than illnesses and misfortunes, they are tormented by the forms of spiritual wretchedness which, like ruins in a country destroyed by an enemy, cover the spirits of their fellows, canceling out God’s impress in them and burying his Holy Name under the obstruction of sin. More than pain in itself, their pain is to feel their incapacity to reach the perfection of love, their dream, for they would like to give God a gift worthy of his Perfection. And if I was fastened to my altar by three nails, they also are, for my love, their love, and their pain are the three nails keeping them crucified until death, which is nothing but breathing out their spirits onto my breast after having “accomplished everything.â€
My love! An ocean of fire which from the height of the Heavens rushes upon a soul and, with the continual arrival of waves of ardor, consumes her as if she were soft wax attacked by a flame. Insatiable hunger which is common to the two who love one another, and Christ wants to devour his creature to make her part of Himself, and the creature wants to breathe God into herself to make Him her life.
Everything stops in the face of this dominator who passes by, asserting his rights. Existence, intelligence, and affections open out and become a wing, and love proceeds and enters, for it is the king of all things. The soul then takes the passions of her spouse in love and makes them her own. The treasure of treasures for her is to be martyred day by day for this purpose and to see light coming back into hearts and hearts turning to God with the eyes of her spirit, for love converts even without words and carries away without cords.
Love is the force which rules the universe, and love is what saves the world. And not commanders, scientists, or doctors, but the loving are the ones who are able to find the ways for the victories leading to Good, tearing away, with their burning impetus, the Satanic chains which make you slaves to the Evil One, who hates you.
And if the love of believers would obtain the miracle of better times, which, by your way of living, you have precluded for yourselves, the love of the victims, which is the love most like the perfection of my own love, is what acts as a barrier to the fury swelling from Satan to destroy you in a desperate curse and opens the gates to Forgiveness, fusing them with the fire of their holocaust.â€

13-Dec-1943 − Comfort for the Victim Soul
Commentary on Psalm 34
Jesus says:
«I am speaking to you, my dear victims, who need a comforting angel to exhort you to suffer, just as I had one, for, if doing the Will of my Father was dear to Me, with my spirit inflamed with charity, I was not free from the terrors and rebellions of the flesh in the face of suffering.
You, little Jesuses, are also aware of the dualism between the spirit and the flesh. The spirit crying out, “Immolation to receive salvation†and the flesh moaning, “Have mercy! I want to live and not suffer.†But I come, and to fortify your flesh, too, for pain, I give you my Word.
I have mercy on your flesh as well, for when it is an instrument of redemption, when the Spirit of God possesses and moves it at his pleasure, like a stem of grass which the wind kisses, it is not unworthy, but holy matter which will know the glory of my Kingdom.
I also sanctified the flesh by redeeming it with my doctrine and my Blood. And those who live in fidelity to my doctrine and do not mock my Blood, but, by virtue of it, as they go on cleansing themselves therein, improve themselves make their flesh as well holy and acceptable to God.
It is the robe of your altar. The altar is the soul, upon which the spirit immolates itself. But every altar should be covered with pure linen to be ready to become a mystical table. Pure, sacrificed flesh made precious by pain is the altar cloth covering your altar, a snow-white, smooth, ornate cloth, where the Eternal Priest does not disdain drawing near and carrying out the rite with the host of your spirit.
O dear victims, do not expect gratitude and understanding from the world.
“You are in the world, and the world does not know you, for you no longer belong to the world.†In this − you see it − be like your Master.
You immolate yourselves for the world, “and the world looks at you, shaking its head or covering you with derision,†and striking you with its perverse weapons. In this, too, be like Me.
The world tries to draw you into dangerous traps “with deceitful questioning which appears to be praise and constitutes inquisitions aimed at putting the stones to lapidate you with into their hands.†Respond to the world “with silence and patience,†and if it persists in its wicked inquisition − to convince itself and feel justified, and all you say is blasphemy − respond, “I am doing what my Father wants. My works are evident; I don’t act in the shadows to do harm. I act in the light of the truth. If it seems to you that I am acting , show me how; if you cannot, because there is no evil in what I am doing, why do you strike?†Even if the world hills you, I will give you a twofold life, for you will be martyrs twice over: of the world and of love.
Do not grow weary of being victims. May the insults and ingratitude of the world, though they are the blows of a battering ram against a fragile coach, not push you off the purple way of sacrifice − my way − which unites with the royal way of glory and leads your spirits into the joy of my dwelling.
Do not say, “It is all useless.†When the seed seems to have fallen upon unfruitful sod because it does not immediately sprout into tender leaves, it is then that it sinks in deep roots to arise later in a sturdier way, yielding a tuft of spikes with seeds. But it is your weeping that must irrigate the arid sod, and it is your blood: either blood of the veins or blood of the spirit − that is, complete holocaust − which must nourish the dust without fluids and turn it into fertile land.
Prayer is like water which evaporates under the rays of the sun and rises and then comes down to give nourishment to the earth. Your prayer − and your whole life is prayer − rises, under the action of love, to my throne and implores for your brothers and sisters. I, who see − and do not err − bless it and send it back to whoever is worthy to receive it. And if among your brothers and sisters you have only enemies of love − that is, of God and of yourselves your prayer, which my blessing has turned into a “grace,†comes back to you and fills you with celestial goods.
Do not grow weary of calling those who treat you as enemies “brothers.†The little Jesuses are unable to have anything but “brothers,†even if others are unable to have anything but the hatred of an enemy towards them. Let the unconscious and the Satan- conscious do their work. do yours. I watch and judge and give to each according to his merit.
I have spoken to you to undeceive you about the human satisfactions of your life as victims. I, the Supreme Victim, never received so many insults during my thirty-three years of life as those I received in the few hours extending from Gethsemane to my death. But it was precisely those hours which made Me the Redeemer. Remember this.
For the time being, you must hope for comfort in Me alone. When the trial is over, you shall have the blessedness of reading the names of those saved by you in the Book of Life and of awaiting, clasped to my Heart, their thanksgiving when, redeemed by “our†suffering, they enter into Peace.»

Mother of Salvation: Sin is a fact. It exists, and will continue to exist until the Second Coming of Christ
Saturday, September 27th, 2014, 19:20
My dear children, how heartbroken I am during these terrible times, when man has risen to defy God in so many ways.
God’s Laws are being flouted all over the world because sin is no longer acknowledged as being wrong. Instead, it is justified at every opportunity so that man can no longer differentiate between right and wrong. When you embrace sin, in all its forms, and declare it to be of no consequence, then you will never be satisfied. Sin, once it is seen as merely a human fault, will lead to greater and more serious sin until, finally, it will lead to a darkness of the spirit and separation from God. This will leave a vacuum in your soul, which will bring a form of wretchedness, which it is difficult to extract from.
Darkness comes from the spirit of evil. Light comes from God. Sin brings darkness and, unless you acknowledge sin, and seek reconciliation, it will grow and fester until it strangles the spirit. Nothing in this world will, nor can, bring the soul the relief it craves. Only reconciliation between the soul and God can free it from this stranglehold.
Sin is a fact. It exists, and will continue to exist until the Second Coming of Christ. God’s children, who understand the Ten Commandments, laid down by Him, will know that man must ask God for forgiveness each and every time he sins. It doesn’t matter that he seeks out God and begs His Forgiveness repeatedly, because this is the only way to stay in union with Him. In this way, you will receive many Graces and you will mature and dwell in the Light of God.
Man must accept his weakness because of the existence of sin. He must accept how sin can separate him from God. When he does not accept this fact then he is saying that he is equal to God. Without belief in the existence of sin man cannot serve God. It is then that the separation between the soul and that of his Creator becomes wider until there is no communication between man and God. It is the desire of Satan to capture souls and prevent their salvation. Until man accepts the importance of acknowledging the Laws of God, he will deny Him.
Your beloved Mother,
Mother of Salvation

I must say there is no Catholic who will ever pray and end with “In Mary’s Name”. We as Christians must learn to explore every way possible to meet our heart desires as well as make heaven. Just as so many do and undo to make Money, I see my Catholic faith simply as doing and undoing to make heaven.Facts we must know
Catholics prays In Jesus Name, because they know that’s the only way to the family.
Catholics asks for Mary and other saints Intercessory prayers, because man is blameless before God’s sight.
Who says a person is dead and cannot do anything for you? In 1 Sam 28:3-20, Saul conjures Samuel, and Samuel appeared that tells us Mary and all the Saints and still be consulted, OK. When Jesus performed HIS first miracle it was because HIS mother.
So whether Mary like any other Human she has been favored by GOD. Born without original sin,Bore God’s begotten son and by inference has a Special place in Jesus’ heart.
And If Jesus is God the Son, then Mary has a Special place in God’s Heart.
Remember, No Catholic ever prays IN THE NAME OF MARY.
If someone can testify that, the picture of his General Overseer healed him, why must u point fingers at the Catholic Church when miracles happen by the prayer of the Rosary?
Thank you friends.
Dear All,
Bible clearly mentions there is only one mediator between God and Man, that is, Jesus Christ. (ITim 2:5)
Following are some of the instances wherein Jesus spoke to Mary during His stay on earth as per Holy Bible:-
1) Instance- Marriage of Cana
When Mary came to Jesus and told Him that wine has finished, Jesus replied her, ‘Woman what have I to do with thee, mine hour is not yet come.’
Afterwards when the hour was fulfilled He did the first miracle of turning water into wine.
2) Mark 3:35- When people came and said your mother is searching for you, Jesus said, ‘ whosoever do the will of my God, the same is my mother, brother and sister.
Jesus said, ‘ come unto ME all ye that labour and are heavy laden and I will give you rest.’ He never said go to different sources to approach unto me.
Let us boldly go to our Creator God, as He is a compassionate Father. Bible says in Isaiah 49:15, mother may forget her sucking child, yet will I not forget you.
Glory be to God.
There is a lot of misunderstandings with what I have read from the first ones even to the 2nd to the last where someone thinks Mary was born without sin, that’s a lie straight from Hell! Jesus is God, fully God Fully Man and the ONLY way to the Father! Now some of you will say I’m being Hateful, No I’m being “passionate” because I was married in the catholic church with my wife but we were both Born-again several years after in 1985. I love people and I can be passionate about telling them their wrong views of their beliefs, but I need to do it in love! So let me say whatever I might say I do love all Catholics but desire so much that they stop following traditions and open the Bible to John and before you read each time pray with all your heart,soul & minds something in your own words liken to this — Dear Heavenly Father I need Your help I am a sinner and I need a Savior and I believe that Your Son Jesus Christ was sent down from Heaven to pay for my sins, I accept Him as my Lord and Savior, Thank You for saving me, please come into my heart and open up Your Words and give me the light I need right now to understand what You would have me to understand now! I know that you will not give me more than I can understand but you will shine Your light one step and one day at a time so I can grow as a baby Christian grows! Thank You in Jesus Name Amen! If you mean that with all of your heart and ever fiber of your being then God will save you, and you
