"Amidst the mourning of a humanity without God, there will come down the comfort of the Holy Spirit, who will lead the whole world to the perfect glorification of the Heavenly Father, bringing about a new marriage of love between a renewed humanity and its Lord who has created, redeemed and saved it.
Amidst the mourning of a divided, darkened and wounded Church, there will be felt the comfort of the Holy Spirit, who will clothe it with fortitude and wisdom, with grace and holiness, and with love and light, in such a way that it may give its full witness to Jesus, living in it until the end of the world.
Amidst the mourning of souls, made slaves of Satan, immersed in the shadow of sin and death, there will alight the comfort of the Holy Spirit, who will give the light of the presence of God, the life of divine grace, and the fire of love, so that in them the Most Holy and Divine Trinity will be able to take up its permanent dwelling.
Amidst the mourning of the great trial, there will come down the comfort of the divine presence of the Spirit of the Lord, who will lead you to live--with confidence, courage, hope, serenity and love--through the events which are awaiting you.
Then, in the midst of fire, you will feel His refreshment; in the cold, His heat; in the darkness, His light; in mourning, His comfort; in fear, His courage; in weakness, His strength; in great suffering, His divine solace.
And so today, I invite you to unite your prayer to mine, so that the Spirit of the Lord, may come down upon you, with all His gifts...
Come, O Holy Spirit.
Come, and change the face of the earth.
Come, quickly.
Come, in these last times.
Come, now that the great trial has arrived.
Come, and bring us your second Pentecost, so that our eyes may see your greatest miracle, that of the new heavens and new earth."

December 17-Pro-life reflection...
And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us.--John, 1:14
Reflection: Christmas, for which we are now preparing, is not simply the feast of the birth of Christ; it is the feast of His becoming human, the reality called the Incarnation.
Jesus was an embryo, a fetus. Life in the womb, which was already sacred because it comes from God, is now made even more holy and worthy of our every sacrifice.
Prayer: Lord Jesus, You lived for nine months within the body of the Virgin Mary. Give success to the efforts of all who believe in Your Incarnation to protect every life in the womb.

Advent meditations...
We need look no further than the womb of Mary, Mother of God to understand the sanctity of human life in the womb from the moment of conception....
As we approach the coming of Emmanuel--He who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life I will be posting from Pro-Life Reflections for Every Day by Fr. Frank Pavone with the interior locutions received by Fr. Stefano Gobbi, MMP for further meditation.
December 16
Never again will there be in it an infant who lives but a few days...They will neither harm nor destroy on all My holy mountain. Isa. 65:20, 25
Reflection: Christ's coming heralds a new harmony in all of nature, including between mother and child.
Advent leads us to the Silent Night when the whole world finds joy in His birth, a joy no longer threatened by violence.
Prayer: Lord, may your birth shed protection on all about to be born, and as we work to end abortion, may we "wait in joyful hope for the coming of our Savior, Jesus Christ."--Pro-life Reflections for Every Day, Fr. Frank Pavone (2009);www.priestsforlife.org
Comfort Amidst Mourning Notre Dame de Laus [May 30, 1993]
"This decisive time of the purification and the great tribulation is the time of the Holy Spirit. And so I renew again today my invitation to multiply the cenacles of prayer, which I have asked for, with such motherly insistence.
Let children come together in cenacles, because their innocent prayer, united to mine, has today a great power of intercession and reparation. From how many evils you have already been spared, because of the prayer of these little children of mine!
I want to gather young people together in cenacles, so that they may experience my motherly presence, the presence of a Mother who loves them, protects them from the great dangers to which they are exposed, and who leads them with gentle firmness, along the road of goodness, of love, of purity and of holiness.
The cenacles which I have asked of families are a precious gift to them, so that in them they may experience the joy of my presence, the comfort of my assistance, and the help offered against the grave evils which threaten their very existence. In these cenacles the Holy Spirit will come down to lead you to the second Pentecost.
It is necessary, above all in these last times, that the Church and all humanity be transformed into a continuous cenacle of prayer, made with me and through me. Then the Holy Spirit will come down as a comfort upon the mourning of your days, in which the great trial has already come.

I am Glorified...
Jauru, Mato Grosso, Brazil [October 12, 1995]
"My little son, you find yourself again in this place where I am so loved and venerated, in order to hold wonderful cenacles with thousands of children and youth, who have come from even the most distant community. You have also conducted three days of spiritual exercises in the form of a continuous cenacle, with those faithful who are the apostles of my Movement in all of Brazil.
Today you are celebrating, with joy and solemnity, the feast of your heavenly Mother, as Patroness of this great nation. You see how, here, I am glorified everywhere.
--I am glorified by the response which I receive everywhere from many of my children, who have accepted my request to consecrate themselves to my Immaculate Heart. They are now living in my Immaculate Heart and are a gentle balm which is placed upon every wound of my great sorrow.
See how they love and glorify me. They are the littlest, the poorest, the simplest,the ones whom the world ignores and despises.
Oh! Bring me more and more of these little children of mine, because they are for me the greatest and most precious of treasures.
--I am glorified by the powerful intensity of prayer which is offered to me here in these times of aridity and great dissipation. See how the cenacles have spread everywhere, above all among children and youth and in families.
How many families are being saved from division or have become reunited after years of separation, as a result of the great spread of family cenacles.
These are the powerful means by which my Immaculate Heart gives you to defend the Christian family from the dangers which threaten it, such as infidelity, divisions, separations, recourse to the means of preventing life and those cursed abortions which are being permitted by civil laws but which cry for vengeance in the sight of God.
--I am glorified because, while neglect, disregard, indifference and tepidity toward my Son Jesus truly present in the Eucharist is spreading more and more, here the Eucharistic Jesus receives an unending homage of love, adoration, thanksgiving and reparation.
The Eucharistic Jesus is solemnly exposed upon the altar throughout the whole day, and my little children prostrate themselves in an act of loving adoration before the throne upon which reigns the Victim offered for your salvation.
How, in this place, the Heart of Jesus exults with joy, comfort, consolation and gratitude!
--I am glorified, because in this country my Marian Movement of Priests has spread everywhere, as in no other part of the world.
I bless all these children of mine, who have come from even the most distant places to take part in the three days of continuous cenacle. In them, I am glorified!
I repeat to you again today that Brazil belongs to me; it is my property. I am Mother and Queen of Brazil, and I want to bring to this great nation, where I am so much loved, implored and glorified, the gift of salvation and peace.
Thus what is taking place here becomes a sign for you which indicates to you how, in silence and hiddenness, each day I am bringing about the triumph of my Immaculate Heart in the greatest triumph of divine mercy upon the world.
It will soon be completely renewed by the powerful and extraordinary intervention of her whom you invoke as your Queen and Mother of Mercy."
