In You I Manifest Myself...


Spiritual exercises in the form of a cenacle (prayers) with the priests of the Marian Movement of Priests from America and Europe.


Valdragone (San Marino,Italy) June 26, 1991

"Beloved sons, again this year I have called you up here on this mountain, to spend a week of continuous cenacle together with me. And you have responded in so generous a way. You have come from every part of Europe and from many countries of America, offering me the discomfort of long and tiring journeys.
I am with you always. I unite myself to your prayer; I am building up among you a more perfect brotherhood. I help you to know one another, to understand one another, to love one another, and to go forward together on the painful road of these last times.
Why have I again wanted you here? Because the times have arrived in which I wish to manifest myself through you to the Church and to the whole of humanity.
In you I manifest myself as Leader of my cohort, formed by me in every part of the world, to fight against the great army of the enemies of God under the orders of him who opposes himself to Christ, that is, of the Antichrist. My cohort is made up of the little ones, of the poor, of the humble servants of the Lord whom I call to enter into the cenacle of my Immaculate Heart, so that they may receive in fullness the gift of the Holy Spirit. It is in the hearts and the souls of the littlest ones that I am working my greatest prodigies in these years. For this reason I have wanted you here again: to form you all to littleness, to spiritual childhood, to poverty, to humility, because it is with the weakness of the little ones that I will conquer the proud power of the great.
In you I manifest myself as Queen, because it is by means of you that each day I am bringing about the triumph of my Immaculate Heart in the world. Open the doors of your lives, so that I can reign in you and prepare the way for the glorious reign of Christ.
I am the dawn that announces the arrival of the great day of the Lord.
In you I manifest myself as Prophetess of these last times. This is why I speak to you. Because I know that I am listened to, obeyed and followed by you, my sons. So, I still continue to manifest myself through the messages I am giving to the heart of this, my littlest son. Believe in my word. Receive with docility these messages of mine because, in them, everything has already been said to you about that which awaits you.
In you I manifest myself as a tender and merciful Mother, in these painful hours of the purification and of the great tribulation. You are called to be the instruments of my motherly tenderness. Love everyone with my motherly Heart. For this, I want to manifest myself in you more and more. Because, in you, I want to console those who suffer, to support those who are weak, to lift up those who have fallen, to lead back to the Lord those who have strayed, to convert sinners, to heal the sick, and to give hope to all who have lost their confidence. Be my sweet balm which comes down to soothe the great sufferings of so many of my children.
Walk along the road which I have traced out for you in these years. Show yourselves to everyone as my children, as those who are consecrated to me, because I am always with you. Live in contempt for the world and for yourselves. Let the faith be the only light which enlightens you in these times of great darkness. Let zeal for the glory of God be the only thing which consumes you, in these days of such widespread aridity. You are called to be the new heart of the new Church which Jesus is forming, in a wholly mysterious way, in the heavenly garden of my Immaculate Heart.
I thank you for the comfort which you give, in these days, to the great sorrow of my Immaculate Heart. With those dear to you, and with the souls who are entrusted to you, I bless you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit."--To The Priests-Our Lady's Beloved Sons, MMP (2009); Interior locutions to Fr. Stefano Gobbi, MMP [1973-97]. #452, pp. 689-90. *Bold italics by blog author.

Meditation: The end of all things is at hand. Therefore, be serious and sober for prayers. Above all, let your love for one another be intense , because love covers a multitude of sins. Be hospitable to one another without complaining. As each one has received a gift, use it to serve one another as good stewards of God's varied grace. Whoever preaches, let it be with the words of God; whoever serves, let it be with the strength that God supplies, so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.
-1 Peter 4:7-11.

Holy Mother...consoler of the afflicted...


Denver, Colorado May 23, 1987

The Deep Wounds

"I am your Immaculate Mother. I am the consoler of the afflicted. How many sufferings you find, O son, along this route of yours. While you receive from all sides such a generous response to my call, on the part of my priests and above all on the part of so many of my faithful, you see everywhere the deep wounds and the great sufferings, which are the signs of the wicked times in which you are living.
They are suffering, those who reject God and are walking along the road of an empty and hopeless life.
They are suffering, the little ones who are opening up to life upon a world which has become an immense desert, for lack of love.
They are suffering, the youth to whom are proposed all the experiences of evil and who are being betrayed by such a vast diffusion of impurity and of drugs.
They are suffering, the adults, because of the division which has entered into families and because of the tremendous wound of divorce.
They are suffering, the old people who have been abandoned to themselves and who are looked upon as an insupportable burden.
Your days of chastisement through which you are living are marked by profound sufferings.
Do not be discouraged.
Enter into the refuge of my Immaculate Heart. Allow yourselves to be led by my light, which will shine out more and more, because these are my times. I am the dew upon all of your wounds; I am the consolation for all your sufferings.
I am your tender Mother, who is at your side to conduct you to the Lord of salvation and of joy."--To The Priests-Our Lady's Beloved Sons, MMP (2009); Interior locutions to Fr. Stefano Gobbi, MMP [1973-97]. #353, pp. 512-13

Prayer:
Glorious Queen of the most Holy Rosary, refuge of the human race, we humbly
kneel before Your Heavenly Throne, fully confident that it is in Your power
to save us and all mankind in the present calamity.
Animate the faithful with a genuine love for their God and neighbor; stem the
overwhelming flood of modern paganism;
Fill all hearts with a dread of sin, the first and foremost cause of war.
Enkindle in them the real meaning of sacrifice, the practice of Christian life,
a deep love for prayer, and an apostolic zeal, that men everywhere my soon
return to their senses and to their God.
In accordance with Your ardent wish, we consecrate to Your Immaculate Heart
our entire selves, all that we have, all that we love, all that we are.
To You we give our bodies and our souls, our minds and our hearts;
To You we consecrate our families, our homes, our country, and the whole
human race.
May the golden chain of today's Rosary bind our hearts, those of our loved ones,
and all hearts the world over to Your Immaculate Heart,
where alone they can find the true blessings of peace...Amen
