Book of Truth In Person Seminar
June 1st, 2024 | From 8am – 5pm | Houton, Texas - USA
March 22, 2024



Praised be Jesus and Mary!
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ…
The Mission of Jesus to Mankind invites you all to the in-person Seminar of The Book of Truth in which you will discover the Joy of knowing the Truth. The topic of the seminar is TO BECOME A NEW PERSON IN CHRIST.
This Seminar will be held on Saturday, June 1st, 2024 in Houston, Texas.
“It is not easy to retain your faith in Me, My children, as there are so many obstacles, which block your devotion. You will, from time to time, feel a complete emptiness in your soul. This can leave you in an agitated state because you feel alone without a crutch.
For, My faithful followers, you must understand this. I, despite the loneliness you may experience, Am never far away. All of these episodes have one goal, to strengthen your faith, in such a way, so as to ensure that you move a few steps towards Me each time.”
Your Jesus | Book of Truth – November 24, 2010

We may experience loneliness at times like Jesus said, but He is always with us and wants to comfort us. This will be a time for us to be able to come together with like-minded believers to encourage and support each other.
Through the Book of Truth, the Lord invites us to take part in this Mission of Salvation. He wants us to become closer to Him, to become a new person in Him. He also desires that we help Him to save all His children and we can do this by drawing nearer to Him through prayer.
Throughout this Seminar we will focus on messages in the Book of Truth discussing how to become a new person in Christ. We will discuss how to love our families, our friends, and all people as our love for God grows and deepens. We will hear what Jesus says about the stairway to spiritual perfection and we will also pray for the salvation of souls. contact email: JTM.Seminar.USA@proton.me

Jesus, I trust in you!
Mother of Salvation, pray for us!

The Cross is your link to Eternal Life. Never forsake the Cross

 




The Cross is your link to Eternal Life. Never forsake the Cross

April 15, 2014
 

My dearly beloved daughter, when My beloved followers celebrate Good Friday, they must remember how My Love extends to the human race.

Those who persecuted Me and then killed Me were full of hatred and had hearts of stone. I died for them, despite their hatred, and I suffered a great Agony so that they could be redeemed. Still, so many people today hate and despise Me, on such a grand scale, that were I to reveal the evil, which ravages their souls, you would not be able to stand up.

My attempts to prepare the world, through the Book of Truth, will be fought by My enemies, everywhere. The worst attacks will come from satanic groups, many of whom pose as Christians, so they can vent their anger, by pretending to defend their faith. Such is the manner in which Satan uses his willing victims to attack My Work. How wretched their souls are and how sorrowful I Am, as they continue to betray Me, fling mud at Me and spread lies about My Word, in an effort to steal souls from My Merciful Heart.

I cry Tears of Agony, during this week; because the time is short and I know that no matter how hard I try, many souls will still turn their backs on Me. Why do these souls hate Me so? The answer is because they have no love for Me at all. Many of them find it terrifying that the hatred they feel for Me in their hearts cannot be washed away. They are so possessed by the evil one, that they spend every minute of their day cursing Me.

The vast majority of people no longer believe in Me – it is a small number, who do believe, in an ocean of souls whose magnitude stretches from one side of the Earth to the other. But, I promise you that I will gather as many souls as I can and because of the Love, which I have for you, will extend My Mercy even amongst those who do not deserve it. How I welcome the good, the loving and those pure souls, who come before Me. They fill Me with great joy. Oh how they soothe My Wounds. How they bring Me relief from the sorrow I endure for My poor sinners, who have no idea as to the great joy I promised them in My New Kingdom. So many souls will sadly throw away the key that I gave them to Eternal Life – and for what? A life devoid of meaning, a life full of titillation and empty promises. A weary life of toil, that brings no life – only that which ends in dust. I Am your life. I bring you life. When you accept My death on the Cross and acknowledge My Resurrection, you will never endure death.

To you, of this generation, I say this. You, who are with Me, will not endure death – not even death of the body. Those who betray Me, through sin, when the Truth is given to you, will have no life. So you, My beloved followers, must never be afraid of this Mission.

I will take you and shower you with all the Gifts, which My Father is anxious to bestow upon all of you, as He finally gathers His children into the Kingdom He promised you when He sent Me, His only Son, to salvage your souls, by My death on the Cross. The Cross is your link to Eternal Life. Never forsake the Cross. My death was your route to Eternal Life. Without My Cross, death will prevail for those who reject it.

Your Jesus

6 STEPS FOR A GOOD CONFESSION
· Examine your conscience – what sins have you committed since your last good confession.
· Be sincerely sorry for your sins.
· Confess your sins to the priest.
· Make certain that you confess all your mortal sins and the number of them.
· After your confession, do the penance the priest gives to you.
· Pray daily for the strength to avoid the occasion of sin, especially for those sins you were just absolved from.
ACT OF CONTRITION
O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended You, and I detest all my sins because I dread the loss of Heaven and the pains of Hell, but most of all because they offend You, my God, Who are all good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve, with the help of Your grace, to confess my sins, to do penance, and to amend my life. Amen
Crusade Prayer (8) The Confession

Dearest Jesus, I ask your pardon for all my sins and for the hurt and injury I have caused to others. I humbly pray for the graces to avoid offending You again and to offer penance according to your Most Holy Will.
I plead for the forgiveness of any future offense, which I may partake in and which will cause you pain and suffering. Take me with you into the new Era of Peace, so that I may become part of Your family for eternity.
I love You, Jesus.
I need You.
I honour You and everything You stand for.
Help me, Jesus, so that I may be worthy to enter Your Kingdom.
Amen.

“Whoever eats the bread and drinks the cup of the Lord unworthily sins against the Body and Blood of the Lord. … He who eats and drinks without recognizing the Body eats and drinks judgement on himself.” (1 Cor 11:27-29)
So, to receive Holy Communion while in the state of mortal sin (having committed a mortal sin which has not been confessed and forgiven in the Sacrament of Confession) is itself a mortal sin – a mortal sin of sacrilege.
“O God, be merciful to me, a sinner.” (Lk 18:13)
“Whose sins you shall forgive, they are forgiven…” (Jn 20:23)
“Though your sins be like scarlet, they shall become white as snow. Though they be red like crimson, they shall become white as wool.” (Is 1:18)
“If we confess our sins, He who is upright can be depended upon to forgive sins, and to cleanse us from every wrong.” (1 Jn 1:9)
“Father, forgive them; they do not know what they are doing.” (Lk 23:24)
“Forgive us our sins, for we too forgive all who do us wrong.” (Lk 11:4)

An Examination of Conscience for AdultsCompiled from approved sources
I believe in a loving Savior Who forgives my sins and Who gives me the grace to become a saint. Jesus Christ, through the ministry of His priests, does both in the Sacrament of Penance.
“As the Father hath sent Me, I also send you … Receive ye the Holy Ghost. Whose sins you shall forgive, they are forgiven them; and whose sins you shall retain, they are retained.” (John 20:21-23)
“If your sins be as scarlet, they shall be made as white as snow.” (Isaias 1:18)
“I am not come to call the just, but sinners.” (Matt. 9:13)
“Men have received from God a power not granted to angels or archangels. Never was it said to the heavenly spirits, ‘Whatsoever you shall bind and unbind on earth shall be bound and unbound in heaven.’ The princes of this world can only bind and unbind the body. The power of the priest extends further; it reaches the soul, and it is exercised not only in baptizing, but still more in pardoning sins. Let us not blush, then, to confess our faults. He who blushes to discover his sins to a man, and who will not confess, shall be covered with shame on the Day of Judgment in the presence of the whole universe.” (St. John Chrysostom, Treatise on Priests, Bk. 3)
Prayer before Confession: O Lord, grant me light to see myself as Thou dost see me, and the grace to be truly and effectively sorry for my sins. O Mary, help me to make a good confession.
How to Confess: First examine your conscience well, then tell the priest the specific kind of sins you have committed and, to the best of your ability, how many times you have committed them since your last good confession. You are obliged to confess only mortal sins, since you can obtain forgiveness for your venial sins by sacrifices and acts of charity. If you are in doubt about whether a sin is mortal or venial, mention your doubt to the confessor. Remember also, confession of venial sins is very helpful for avoiding sin and advancing toward Heaven.
Necessary conditions for a sin to be mortal:
1. Serious Matter
2. Sufficient Reflection
3. Full Consent of the Will
Preliminary Considerations:
1. Have I ever deliberately failed to confess a past serious sin, or have I willfully disguised or hidden such a sin?
Note: The deliberate concealing of a mortal sin invalidates one´s confession and makes the person guilty of another mortal sin. Remember that the confession is private under the Seal of Confession, i.e., it is a mortal sin for the priest to reveal the matter of one´s confession to anyone else.
2. Have I been guilty of irreverence for this sacrament by failing to examine my conscience carefully?
3. Have I failed to do the penance given to me by the priest?
4. Have I any habits of serious sin to confess first (e.g. impurity, drunkenness, etc.)?

2. Have I deliberately doubted or denied any of the teachings of the Church?
3. Have I taken part in any non-Catholic worship?
4. Am I a member of any non-Catholic religious organization, secret society or anti-Catholic group?
5. Have I knowingly read any heretical, blasphemous or anti-Catholic literature?
6. Have I practiced any superstitions (such as horoscopes, fortune telling, Ouija board, etc.)?
7. Have I omitted religious duties or practices through motives of human respect?
8. Have I recommended myself daily to God?
9. Have I been faithful to my daily prayers?
10. Have I abused the Sacraments in any way? Received them irreverently, e.g. Communion in the Hand without obeying the principles and the 7 rules promulgated by Paul VI as binding in this matter?
11. Have I made fun of God, Our Lady, the Saints, the Church, the Sacraments, other holy things?
12. Have I been guilty of great irreverence in church, e.g., conversation, behavior, or dress?
13. Have I been indifferent with regard to my Catholic Faith — believing one can be saved in any religion, that all religions are equal?
14. Have I presumed on God´s mercy at any time?
15. Have I despaired of God´s mercy?
16. Have I hated God?
17. Have I given too much importance to any creature, activity, object or opinion?
Second Commandment: Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain.
1. Have I sworn by God’s name falsely, rashly or in slight and trivial matters?
2. Have I murmured or complained against God (blasphemy)?
3. Have I cursed myself or others, or any creature?

4. Have I been willfully distracted during Mass?
5. Have I done or commanded unnecessary servile work on Sunday or Holy Days of Obligation?
6. Have I bought or sold things not of necessity on Sunday and Holy Days of obligation?
Fourth Commandment: Honor thy father and thy mother.
1. Have I been disobedient or disrespectful to my parents, or have I neglected or refused to aid them in their wants or to do their last will?
2. Have I shown irreverence to others in positions of authority?
3. Have I maligned or insulted priests or others consecrated to God?
4. Have I failed in due reverence to aged persons?
5. Have I mistreated my spouse or my children?
6. Have I been disobedient or disrespectful to my husband?
7. Regarding my children:
Have I neglected their material needs?
Have I failed to care for their early baptism? *(See below.)
Have I failed to care for their proper religious education?
Have I allowed them to neglect their religious duties?
Have I allowed them to date/go steady without the prospect of marriage within the near future? (St. Alphonsus says 1 year maximum.)

Have I scandalized them by cursing or swearing in front of them?

Have I permitted them to wear immodest clothing (mini skirts; tight pants, dresses, or sweaters; see-through blouses, short-shorts, revealing swim suits, etc.)?†
Have I denied their freedom to marry or follow a religious vocation?
*Infants should be baptized as soon as possible. Apart from particular diocesan prescriptions, it appears to be the general view … that an infant should be baptized within about a week or ten days after birth. Many Catholics defer Baptism for a fortnight or a little over. The view that Baptism should be administered within three days after birth is considered too strict. St. Alphonsus, following common opinion, thought that a delay, without reason, beyond ten or eleven days would be a grievous sin. In view of modern custom, which is known and not corrected by local Ordinaries, a delay beyond a month without reason would be a serious sin. If there is no probable danger to the child, parents cannot be convicted of serious sin if they defer Baptism a little beyond three weeks at the outside, but the practice of having an infant baptized within about a week or ten days of birth is to be strongly commended, and indeed an earlier date may be rightly recommended. — H. Davis, S.J., Moral and Pastoral Theology, Vol. III, pg. 65, Sheed and Ward, New York 1935

St. Anthony Mary Claret´s Examination of Venial Sins
The soul should avoid all venial sins, especially those which pave the way for grave sin. It is not enough, my soul, to have a firm resolve to suffer death rather than consent to any grave sin. It is necessary to have a like resolution to venial sin. He who does not find in himself this will, cannot have security. There is nothing which can give us such a certain security of eternal salvation as an uninterrupted cautiousness to avoid even the lightest venial sin, and a notable, all-extensive earnestness reaching to all practices of the spiritual life — earnestness in prayer, and in dealing with God; earnestness in mortification and self-denial; earnestness in being humble and in accepting contempt; earnestness in obeying and renouncing one’s own self-will; earnest love of God and neighbor. He who wants to gain this earnestness and keep it, must necessarily have the resolve to always avoid especially the following venial sins:
1. The sin of giving entrance into your heart to any unreasonable suspicion or unfair judgment against your neighbor.
2. The sin of introducing talk about another’s defects or offending charity in any other way, even lightly.
3. The sin of omitting out of laziness our spiritual practices or of performing them with voluntary neglect.
4. The sin of having a disordered affection for somebody.
5. The sin of having a vain esteem for oneself, or of taking vain satisfaction in things pertaining to us.
6. The sin of receiving the holy Sacraments in a careless way, with distractions and other irreverences, and without a serious preparation.
7. . Impatience, resentment, any failure to accept disappointments as coming from God’s Hand; for this puts obstacles in the way of the decrees and dispositions of Divine Providence concerning us.
8. The sin of giving ourselves an occasion that can even remotely blemish a spotless condition of holy purity.
9. The fault of advertently hiding from those who ought to learn them, one’s bad inclinations, weaknesses, and mortifications, seeking to pursue the road of virtue not under the direction of obedience, but under the guidance of one’s own whims.

Note: This speaks of times when we might have worthy direction if we seek it, but we prefer to follow our own dim lights.

Prayer for a Good Confession
O my God, by my grievous sins I have crucified again Thy Divine Son and made Him a mockery. For this I have deserved Thy wrath and made myself fit for the fires of hell. How ungrateful have I been to Thee as well, my heavenly Father, Who created me out of nothing, redeemed me by the precious Blood of Thy Son and sanctified me by Thy holy sacraments and by the Holy Ghost. But Thou hast spared me by Thy mercy, to make this confession. Receive me back as Thy prodigal son and grant me to confess well, that I may begin anew to love Thee with my whole heart and soul, and henceforth to keep Thy commandments and suffer patiently whatever temporal punishment may remain. I hope by Thy goodness and power to obtain everlasting life in Paradise. Through Jesus Christ, Our Lord. Amen.

A Final Note
Remember to confess your sins with supernatural sorrow as well as a firm resolution not to sin again, and to avoid the near occasions of sin. Ask your confessor to help you with any difficulties you have in making a good confession. Say your penance promptly.
An Act of Contrition
O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee. And I detest all my sins because I dread the loss of Heaven and the pains of hell, but most of all because they offend Thee, my God, Who art all good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve, with the help of Thy grace, to confess my sins, to do penance, and to amend my life. Amen

Divine Mercy Novena

 


Divine Mercy Novena
April 2, 2021fatherofloveandmercy

A novena is typically nine days of prayer in preparation of a celebration of a feast day. At the National Shrine of The Divine Mercy, the Chaplet of Divine Mercy Novena is recited perpetually at the Hour of Great Mercy — the three o’clock hour.


The Chaplet can be said anytime, but the Lord specifically asked that it be recited as a novena. He promised, “By this Novena (of Chaplets), I will grant every possible grace to souls.”
For each of the nine days, our Lord gave Saint Faustina a different intention:

All mankind, especially sinners; the souls of priests and religious; all devout and faithful souls; those who do not believe in God and those who do not yet know Jesus; the souls who have separated themselves from the Church; the meek and humble souls and the souls of little children; the souls who especially venerate and glorify His mercy; the souls detained in purgatory; and souls who have become lukewarm.

“I desire that during these nine days you bring souls to the fountain of My mercy, that they may draw therefrom strength and refreshment and whatever grace they have need of in the hardships of life, and especially at the hour of death” (Diary, 1209).

Here is a link to pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy by audio,video or text. https://www.thedivinemercy.org/message/devotions/chaplet

You will start this novena at 3PM on Good Friday and everyday for 9 days.

During Faustina’s canonization, Beloved John Paul II, instituted the feast day of Divine Mercy Sunday on the first Sunday after Easter; and the following instructions of Our Lord to Sr. Fausina were an incentive for its establishment.


Jesus said, “My daughter, tell the whole world about My inconceivable mercy. I desire that the Feast of Mercy be a refuge and shelter for all souls, and especially for poor sinners. On that day the very depths of My tender mercy are open. I pour out a whole ocean of graces upon those souls who approach the fount of My mercy. The soul that will go to Confession and receive Holy Communion shall obtain complete forgiveness of sins and punishment. On that day all the divine floodgates through which graces flow are opened. Let no soul fear to draw near to Me, even though its sins be as scarlet. My mercy is so great that no mind, be it of man or of angel, will be able to fathom it throughout all eternity. Everything that exists has come forth from the very depths of My most tender mercy. Every soul in its relation to Me will contemplate My love and mercy throughout eternity.
The Feast of Mercy emerged from My very depths of tenderness. It is My desire that it be solemnly celebrated on the first Sunday after Easter. Mankind will not have peace until it turns to the Fount of My Mercy” (Diary, #699).

In 2002, Pope John Paul II entrusted the whole world to the Mercy of God; and proclaimed Divine Mercy as the answer to all the world’s problems. Pope John Paul died on the vigil of Divine Mercy Sunday, leaving us this beautiful feast day, which is one of the greatest treasures of the Church.

This sacred day, allows the Faithful to obtain a PLENARY indulgence by following three conditions and devotions:
Sacramental Confession
Eucharistic Communion,
Prayer for the Intentions of Our Holy Father, the Pope.

These must be done in any church or chapel, in a spirit that is completely detached from the affection for sin, even a venial sin, and take part in the prayers and devotions (Recitation of the Divine Mercy Chaplet and Veneration of the Divine Mercy Image) held in honor of Divine Mercy, OR in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament exposed or reserved in the tabernacle, recite the Our Father and the Creed, adding a devout prayer to the merciful Lord Jesus (e.g. Merciful Jesus, I trust in you); (Note: this plenary indulgence is applicable to the souls in Purgatory).

In order to obtain a PARTIAL indulgence, the Faithful are required to pray, a legitimately approved invocation to our Merciful Lord Jesus (e.g. Merciful Jesus, I trust in you) with a contrite heart.

For those who are sick and those who nurse them, and all who for a just cause are home bound or are driven out of their homeland, or who carry out an activity for the community which cannot be postponed, may obtain a PLENARY indulgence on Divine Mercy Sunday, by totally detesting any sin with the intention of fulfilling as soon as possible the three usual conditions: Sacramental Confession,
Eucharistic Communion,
Prayer for the intentions of Our Holy Father, the Pope,

and the recitation of the Our Father and the Creed before a devout image of Our Merciful Lord Jesus and, in addition, pray a devout invocation to Him (e.g. Merciful Jesus, I trust in you.)

If it is impossible for some people to obtain the PLENARY indulgence according to the last way I described, then the Faithful may obtain the PLENARY Indulgence, if with a spiritual intention, they are united with those carrying out the prescribed practice for obtaining the Indulgence in the usual way and offer to the Merciful Lord a prayer and the sufferings of their illness and the difficulties of their lives, with the resolution to accomplish as soon as possible the three conditions prescribed to obtain the plenary indulgence, which once again are: Sacramental Confession,
Eucharistic Communion,
Prayer for the intentions of Our Holy Father, the Pope.

(The specific information, which explains the process of obtaining the indulgences in honor of Divine Mercy Sunday was taken from the Apostolic Penitentiary Decree given approval by Archbishop Luigi De Magistris, Tit. Archbishop of Nova, Major Pro-Penitentiary and Fr. Gianfranco Girotti, O. F. M. Conv., Regent).

Please visit https://www.thedivinemercy.org/ to learn more about this wonderful novena

First Day:
Today bring to Me ALL MANKIND, ESPECIALLY ALL SINNERS, and immerse them in the ocean of My mercy. In this way you will console Me in the bitter grief into which the loss of souls plunges Me.

Most Merciful Jesus, whose very nature it is to have compassion on us and to forgive us, do not look upon our sins but upon our trust which we place in Your infinite goodness. Receive us all into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart, and never let us escape from It. We beg this of You by Your love which unites You to the Father and the Holy Spirit.

Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon all mankind and especially upon poor sinners, all enfolded in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. For the sake of His sorrowful Passion show us Your mercy, that we may praise the omnipotence of Your mercy for ever and ever. Amen.

Second Day:
Today bring to Me THE SOULS OF PRIESTS AND RELIGIOUS, and immerse them in My unfathomable mercy. It was they who gave Me strength to endure My bitter Passion. Through them as through channels My mercy flows out upon mankind.

Most Merciful Jesus, from whom comes all that is good, increase Your grace in men and women consecrated to Your service,* that they may perform worthy works of mercy; and that all who see them may glorify the Father of Mercy who is in heaven.

Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the company of chosen ones in Your vineyard—upon the souls of priests and religious; and endow them with the strength of Your blessing. For the love of the Heart of Your Son in which they are enfolded, impart to them Your power and light, that they may be able to guide others in the way of salvation and with one voice sing praise to Your boundless mercy for ages without end. Amen.

Third Day:
Today bring to Me ALL DEVOUT AND FAITHFUL SOULS, and immerse them in the ocean of My mercy. The souls brought Me consolation on the Way of the Cross. They were that drop of consolation in the midst of an ocean of bitterness.

Most Merciful Jesus, from the treasury of Your mercy, You impart Your graces in great abundance to each and all. Receive us into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart and never let us escape from It. We beg this grace of You by that most wonderous love for the heavenly Father with which Your Heart burns so fiercely.

Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon faithful souls, as upon the inheritance of Your Son. For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, grant them Your blessing and surround them with Your constant protection. Thus may they never fail in love or lose the treasure of the holy faith, but rather, with all the hosts of Angels and Saints, may they glorify Your boundless mercy for endless ages. Amen.

Fourth Day:
Today bring to Me The PAGANS AND THOSE WHO DO NOT YET KNOW ME. I was thinking also of them during My bitter Passion, and their future zeal comforted My Heart. Immerse them in the ocean of My mercy.

Most compassionate Jesus, You are the Light of the whole world. Receive into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart the souls of those who do not believe in God and of those who as yet do not know You. Let the rays of Your grace enlighten them that they, too, together with us, may extol Your wonderful mercy; and do not let them escape from the abode which is Your Most Compassionate Heart.

Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the souls of those who do not believe in You, and of those who as yet do not know You, but who are enclosed in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. Draw them to the light of the Gospel. These souls do not know what great happiness it is to love You. Grant that they, too, may extol the generosity of Your mercy for endless ages. Amen.

Fifth Day:
Today bring to Me THE SOULS OF THOSE WHO HAVE SEPARATED THEMSELVES FROM MY CHURCH,* and immerse them in the ocean of My mercy. During My bitter Passion they tore at My Body and Heart, that is, My Church. As they return to unity with the Church, My wounds heal and in this way they alleviate My Passion.

Most Merciful Jesus, Goodness Itself, You do not refuse light to those who seek it of You. Receive into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart the souls of those who have separated themselves from Your Church. Draw them by Your light into the unity of the Church, and do not let them escape from the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart; but bring it about that they, too, come to glorify the generosity of Your mercy.

Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the souls of those who have separated themselves from Your Son’s Church, who have squandered Your blessings and misused Your graces by obstinately persisting in their errors. Do not look upon their errors, but upon the love of Your own Son and upon His bitter Passion, which He underwent for their sake, since they, too, are enclosed in His Most Compassionate Heart. Bring it about that they also may glorify Your great mercy for endless ages. Amen.

Sixth Day:
Today bring to Me THE MEEK AND HUMBLE SOULS AND THE SOULS OF LITTLE CHILDREN, and immerse them in My mercy. These souls most closely resemble My Heart. They strengthened Me during My bitter agony. I saw them as earthly Angels, who will keep vigil at My altars. I pour out upon them whole torrents of grace. Only the humble soul is capable of receiving My grace. I favor humble souls with My confidence.

Most Merciful Jesus, You yourself have said, “Learn from Me for I am meek and humble of heart.” Receive into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart all meek and humble souls and the souls of little children. These souls send all heaven into ecstasy and they are the heavenly Father’s favorites. They are a sweet-smelling bouquet before the throne of God; God Himself takes delight in their fragrance. These souls have a permanent abode in Your Most Compassionate Heart, O Jesus, and they unceasingly sing out a hymn of love and mercy.

Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon meek souls, upon humble souls, and upon little children who are enfolded in the abode which is the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. These souls bear the closest resemblance to Your Son. Their fragrance rises from the earth and reaches Your very throne. Father of mercy and of all goodness, I beg You by the love You bear these souls and by the delight You take in them: Bless the whole world, that all souls together may sing out the praises of Your mercy for endless ages. Amen.

Seventh Day:
Today bring to Me THE SOULS WHO ESPECIALLY VENERATE AND GLORIFY MY MERCY,* and immerse them in My mercy. These souls sorrowed most over my Passion and entered most deeply into My spirit. They are living images of My Compassionate Heart. These souls will shine with a special brightness in the next life. Not one of them will go into the fire of hell. I shall particularly defend each one of them at the hour of death.

Most Merciful Jesus, whose Heart is Love Itself, receive into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart the souls of those who particularly extol and venerate the greatness of Your mercy. These souls are mighty with the very power of God Himself. In the midst of all afflictions and adversities they go forward, confident of Your mercy; and united to You, O Jesus, they carry all mankind on their shoulders. These souls will not be judged severely, but Your mercy will embrace them as they depart from this life.

Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the souls who glorify and venerate Your greatest attribute, that of Your fathomless mercy, and who are enclosed in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. These souls are a living Gospel; their hands are full of deeds of mercy, and their hearts, overflowing with joy, sing a canticle of mercy to You, O Most High! I beg You O God:

Show them Your mercy according to the hope and trust they have placed in You. Let there be accomplished in them the promise of Jesus, who said to them that during their life, but especially at the hour of death, the souls who will venerate this fathomless mercy of His, He, Himself, will defend as His glory. Amen.

Eighth Day:
Today bring to Me THE SOULS WHO ARE DETAINED IN PURGATORY, and immerse them in the abyss of My mercy. Let the torrents of My Blood cool down their scorching flames. All these souls are greatly loved by Me. They are making retribution to My justice. It is in your power to bring them relief. Draw all the indulgences from the treasury of My Church and offer them on their behalf. Oh, if you only knew the torments they suffer, you would continually offer for them the alms of the spirit and pay off their debt to My justice.

Most Merciful Jesus, You Yourself have said that You desire mercy; so I bring into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart the souls in Purgatory, souls who are very dear to You, and yet, who must make retribution to Your justice. May the streams of Blood and Water which gushed forth from Your Heart put out the flames of Purgatory, that there, too, the power of Your mercy may be celebrated.

Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the souls suffering in Purgatory, who are enfolded in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. I beg You, by the sorrowful Passion of Jesus Your Son, and by all the bitterness with which His most sacred Soul was flooded: Manifest Your mercy to the souls who are under Your just scrutiny. Look upon them in no other way but only through the Wounds of Jesus, Your dearly beloved Son; for we firmly believe that there is no limit to Your goodness and compassion. Amen.

Ninth Day:
Today bring to Me SOULS WHO HAVE BECOME LUKEWARM,* and immerse them in the abyss of My mercy. These souls wound My Heart most painfully. My soul suffered the most dreadful loathing in the Garden of Olives because of lukewarm souls. They were the reason I cried out: ‘Father, take this cup away from Me, if it be Your will.’ For them, the last hope of salvation is to run to My mercy.

Most compassionate Jesus, You are Compassion Itself. I bring lukewarm souls into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart. In this fire of Your pure love, let these tepid souls, who, like corpses, filled You with such deep loathing, be once again set aflame. O Most Compassionate Jesus, exercise the omnipotence of Your mercy and draw them into the very ardor of Your love, and bestow upon them the gift of holy love, for nothing is beyond Your power.

Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon lukewarm souls who are nonetheless enfolded in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. Father of Mercy, I beg You by the bitter Passion of Your Son and by His three-hour agony on the Cross: Let them, too, glorify the abyss of Your mercy. Amen.

Mother of Salvation: Ask my children to do one day of fasting on Good Friday to prevent one world currency

 

 


Mother of Salvation: Ask my children to do one day of fasting on Good Friday to prevent one world currency
March 27, 2012

My child, your suffering, along with other chosen souls, will intensify during Holy Week.

This is the week where the deceiver will hurt as many of God’s children as he can, through wars, persecution and violence.

It is at this time that he inflicts great suffering just as my precious Son endured during His Passion on the Cross.

My child, you must tell all those who have encouraged souls everywhere to recite my Holy Rosary every Friday up to Easter, that I am most pleased.

The souls they are saving, along with the suffering of their own nations, are all being helped through these devotions.

The Love of my Son is being felt now by more people all over the world, at a time of great suffering.

He eases their pain with His special Graces and soothes their souls, by the Power of the Holy Spirit.

Children, your prayers, which are so lovingly presented by you in the Heavens, are being heard.

You must seek the help of my Son and my Eternal Father, at all times. Every single prayer, no matter how small, is heard and answered, according to the Will of God Most High.

My child, ask my children to do one day of fasting, on Good Friday, to prevent the one world currency from being introduced.

Your prayers and fasting can do this.

As soon as this prayer is said during your fast, my Eternal Father will stop these people from inflicting the austerity they are planning so that they can control you.

These same people want to abolish Christianity, so it is important that you stop this from happening through special sacrifices.

Crusade Prayer (42) Prayer of fasting to stop One World Currency

“O God Most High, I offer you my gift of fasting, so that You will stop the grip of evil in the world, being planned to starve my country of food, including the Bread of Life.

Accept my offering and listen to my pleas for other nations to prevent them from the suffering being planned by the antichrist.

Save us, dear Lord, from this wickedness and protect our Faith, so that we can honour You with the freedom we need to love and adore You forever and ever. Amen.”

My child, one day of fasting, on Good Friday, will bring much freedom to nations, from the evil one and those who follow his wicked desires to control the finances of all nations.

Please say My Divine Mercy and start My Novena on Good Friday

 

 


Please say My Divine Mercy and start My Novena on Good Friday
April 4, 2012

My dearly beloved daughter, the time is almost here for the world to reflect on My death on the Cross.

This is the time, during 2012, that I urgently need your prayers for those who will not recognise Me and for those who do not know about Me.

It will be up to you, My beloved followers, to help Me save those poor souls, whom I need to bring close to My Bosom, so that I can prepare them for My New Paradise.

Children, I need you to say My Divine Mercy Chaplet and commence the nine day Novena of the Divine Mercy, from Good Friday.

It is important that as many of you complete this Novena for other souls. You will receive great Graces and for this I will never forsake you. I will salvage your soul when you come before Me on the Day of Judgment.

You must never become tired of praying to save other souls. You are My Army and through the Graces I give you, you will work with Me to clean the Earth of sin, before My Second Coming.

Praying does not come easy to all of you. The best way is to unite yourself in My Sorrowful Passion, and meditate on My suffering and in particular, My Agony in the Garden. My Great Mercy is at its most potent then. It was precisely because of sinners, including those pagans who were never given a chance to know Me, whom I agonised over the most.

For those of you who love Me know this.

The more you trust in Me completely, the stronger is My Mercy. The more I can forgive. My Mercy is so powerful that it can wipe out the sins of all mankind.

Those who believe in Me, trust Me, can achieve great sanctity by helping to save the souls of their brothers and sisters, as a priority. They do this out of their love for Me for they know that this brings Me much consolation.

You, My pure and just followers, who love Me so much, know that it is through your generosity of heart, that I can save sinners.

Sinners, you must understand, are who I died for and are the ones I thirst for most of all. I show great compassion for sinners.

But, you, My followers, who are also sinners, must trust in Me completely. By doing this, I grant a number of special Graces.

The more you ask for My help, the more you receive. It is because of this bond that you and I hold between us, that you can help Me to save other souls from drowning in despair and hopelessness.

Remember the Power of My Divine Mercy Novena and the number of souls you will save for Me, this year.

Your beloved Jesus

Good Friday is the Day I desire, and this year, especially, to be remembered for what it really means

 

 


Good Friday is the Day I desire, and this year, especially, to be remembered for what it really means
April 5, 2012

Good Friday is the day I desire, and this year especially, to be remembered for what it really means.

My Father sent Me into the world and offered Me, as a ransom, to save the world from the fires of Hell. I came to serve you, children, not to condemn you. My death was a special Grace, free of any obligation on your part, other than to accept the Hand of Mercy, given to you by My Eternal Father.

This Gift was offered to allow mankind to receive the Gift of Reconciliation, so that they can be made fit to enter My Father’s Kingdom.

Before I was crucified I attended a very important Passover Supper with My apostles the night before My death on the Cross.

This Last Supper provides another special Gift. The Gift of celebrating the Holy Eucharist, is a Sacrament of Love, to provide you with a unique Gift where you can truly receive Me in Holy Communion.

My True Presence, contained in the Holy Eucharist in the world today, when celebrated during Holy Mass, provides very special Graces to those in a state of Grace who love Me, who receive Me.

My Presence can be felt in a way, which will strengthen your faith, when you accept My True Presence in the Holy Eucharist.

If you reject My Presence, in the Holy Eucharist, you reject one of the most significant Gifts I left behind when I came to Earth to atone for your sins.

I died to save you and this is, in itself, a great Gift.

But, I left you a very special Gift, where you can receive Me in mind, body and spirit.

Accept My Presence and your soul will become closer in true union with Me.

Accept Me. Do not forsake Me. Do not deny Me.

Believe, without any doubts in your hearts, that it was because of the Love of God, the Father, that these Gifts were bestowed upon you.



Reflect now on the Real Truth of My Teachings

Do not accept My Crucifixion, without accepting the Gifts also offered to you at My Last Supper. If you do, you will be starving your soul of the Food of Life.

Your beloved Jesus

Redeemer of Mankind

By the time Good Friday arrives many souls will begin to realize that My Warning to humanity is upon the world

 

 


By the time Good Friday arrives many souls will begin to realize that My Warning to humanity is upon the world
March 9, 2013

My dearly beloved daughter, by the time Good Friday arrives many souls will begin to realize that My Warning to humanity is upon the world.

No sooner will the abomination be witnessed than the Truth of these Messages will be truly understood.

Gather your people together, unite in prayer, for a dark cloud will cover the earth. The punishments will be meted upon humanity as it plunges into an abyss of indifference and apathy, to the Word of God.

Those who have turned their backs on the Gifts given to humanity, by My death on the Cross, will be awakened and will see how grotesque their souls appear before My Eyes.

Soon they will see that they have been given only a short time in which to repent. For My patience is great, but My sadness is profound. So bitter are their hearts, that they do not only shun Me, their beloved Jesus, but they deny themselves the Gifts, which I make freely available to them.

How they have been deceived into believing in their own false illusions that the world is theirs to live, any which way they choose, without a care to slow them down, in their pursuit of satisfaction. This world will no longer be theirs for the taking, because it is only a temporary state. Soon they will find themselves in a new state and, for many of them, it will not be in My New Paradise.

My intervention is close to hand and My Plan to salvage the world will soon be made fully known. Pride is your greatest enemy and is Satan’s biggest fault. When someone denounces another; reprimands another and points a finger of accusation against another, in My Name, they have fallen victim to the sin of Satan.

It will be the sin of pride, which will be the downfall of humanity, and which will plunge many souls into the fires of Hell.

Do not fall victim to this curse of the evil one and remain silent if you do not agree with another who shouts aloud against Me, with lies pouring from their mouths, even if you know they do not speak the Truth. You must lower your eyes and simply proclaim My Word.

Defend Me only by declaring to the world what you know of My Plan to save souls. And even when those souls, who believe that their knowledge of Me gives them the right to admonish others and demand answers from you, you must never defend Me through arguments.

Many events in the world will shock most of humanity, shortly. Even the most disinterested people, who live their lives in a vacuum of worldly ambition, with little time for spiritual matters, will begin to realize that there is much change. They will know that these changes are beyond their comprehension and this will result in their being more open to the Word of God.

Your Jesus

I desire that all of My followers conduct a time of fasting from next Monday until 15:30 hours on Good Friday

 

 


I desire that all of My followers conduct a time of fasting from next Monday until 15:30 hours on Good Friday
March 22, 2013

My dearly beloved daughter, I desire that all of My followers conduct a time of fasting from next Monday until 15:30 hours (03:30 PM) on Good Friday.

Even a small token of fasting will glean, for all of you, an insight into My Plan of Salvation and how you can help Me to salvage the souls of all sinners.

It is through fasting that you will become whole again. By cleansing your body, your spirit will be renewed. I also desire that you receive the Sacrament of Confession, or what form of reconciliation is available to you. Please, if you are unable to receive this Sacrament then accept the Gift I have given you of My Plenary Indulgence some time ago.

(Tuesday, January 31st, 2012 @ 09:30 PM

You must say this prayer for seven consecutive days to be given the gift of total absolution and the Power of the Holy Spirit.

“O my Jesus, You are the Light of the earth
. You are the Flame that touches all souls. 
Your Mercy and Love knows no bounds. 
We are not worthy of the Sacrifice You made by Your death on the Cross
. Yet we know that Your Love for us is greater than the love we hold for You. 
Grant us, O Lord, the gift of humility, so that we are deserving of Your New Kingdom. 
Fill us with the Holy Spirit, so we can march forth and lead Your army
 to proclaim the Truth of Your Holy Word and prepare our brothers and sisters
 for the Glory of Your Second Coming on earth
. We honour You
. We praise You
. We offer ourselves, our sorrows, our sufferings, as a gift to You to save souls. 
We love You, Jesus. 
Have Mercy on all Your children wherever they may be.
 Amen.”)

Then in spirit, I wish you to join with Me, as if you were present with My apostles at My Last Supper. You will share with Me, the unleavened bread and eat with Me at My table. You, My followers, can share with Me, My Cup of Suffering, by your own free will, should you accept My offer.

If you can accept this, you will, in atonement for the sins of mortal man, save millions of souls. I will grant Mercy to the most hardened sinners, in return for your gift of suffering.

Here is the Crusade Prayer for you if you wish to share My Cup of Suffering. Recite this, three times, when you can, but preferably during any time of fasting.

Crusade Prayer (103) To share the Cup of Suffering with Christ

I lay before You, dear Jesus, and at Your Feet to do what You will with me for the good of all.

Let me share Your Cup of Suffering.

Take this gift from me, so that You can save those poor souls who are lost and without hope.

Take me, in body, so I can share Your Pain.

Hold my heart in Your Sacred Hands and bring my soul in union with You.

Through my gift of suffering, I allow Your Divine Presence to embrace my soul, so that You can redeem all sinners and unite all God’s children forever and ever. Amen.

This sacrifice on your part, presented to Me, Jesus Christ, Redeemer of all humanity, will enable Me to pour My Great Mercy over the whole world.

More importantly, I will save even those who hate Me. Your prayers and sacrifice are their only saving grace, for without this, they would be destroyed by the evil one.

If you do not wish to endure this suffering, I will grant you great blessings and ask that you continue with Me on My journey to awaken the world from its slumber and so I can lift the veil of deceit which covers it.

Your Jesus

My Catholic Church has been torn into shreds, yet the soul of My Church will never be taken or consumed by Satan.

 

 


My Catholic Church has been torn into shreds, yet the soul of My Church will never be taken or consumed by Satan.

July 30, 2012

My dearly beloved daughter when I endured the agony in the garden the greatest abomination, shown to Me by Satan, was the disloyalty of the Catholic and Apostolic Church in the end times.

This is where Satan, who tormented Me with visions of the future, showed Me the lukewarm servants of the Church in these, your times.

They have allowed pride and false truths, dominated by their tolerance of sin, to blind them to the Truth of God.

Their allegiance to worldly pursuits means that many of My sacred servants do not have the compassion or humility in their souls to lead My followers towards the sanctity required to save their souls.

So many have turned against me although they say they love God’s children.

By promoting tolerance in the Name of God, they present a false doctrine, which masks the Truth.

Those dissidents in My Church on earth, who claim to be creating a new type of following in the name of the Catholic Church, but who deny My teachings, are being tempted by Satan who wants to destroy My Church.

He, the evil one, has already caused terrible sin to corrupt My Church and now wants to hammer in the final nails when he will crucify My Church and, in turn, cast into Hell those sacred servants of Mine who desecrate the Word of God by facilitating the acceptance of sin among God’s children.

Their sin of slapping Me in the Face, by parading obscenities before Me, which they claim are acceptable and tolerated by God, will be severely punished.

They dare, through the sin of pride and deceit, to mislead souls and direct them into a den of darkness, without understanding how they are condemning souls into the lake of fire.

Many of My sacred servants are being misled and don’t know it. Yet many such servants, if they are honest with themselves, are confused.

Then there are those who pose as My sacred servants but come from the other side. Slaves to the beast they deliberately present themselves as my anointed priests.

They cause Me such terrible anguish. Not only do they corrupt souls they have knowingly created a pact with Satan who will devour them.

They perform vile acts on My altars, before the Holy Eucharist but few know that they commit such acts. Yet I yearn for their souls.

My Catholic Church has been torn into shreds, yet the soul of My Church will never be taken or consumed by Satan. But the servants of My Church can be seduced and destroyed by the beast.

This is the time for Me to intervene to help them rise above these terrible torments.

I need you, My followers, and those sacred servants among you who understand what is happening amongst you to say this:

Crusade Prayer (70) Prayer for Clergy to remain firm and true to the Holy Word of God

O dear Jesus, help Your sacred servants to recognise the schism within Your Church as it unfolds. Help Your sacred servants to remain firm and true to Your Holy Word.

Never let worldly ambitions cloud their pure love for You. Give them the graces to remain pure and humble before You and to Honour Your Most Holy Presence in the Eucharist.

Help and guide all those sacred servants who may be lukewarm in their love for You and re-kindle the fire of the Holy Spirit in their souls.

Help them to recognise temptation placed before them to distract them. Open their eyes so they can see the Truth at all times.Bless them Dear Jesus at this time and cover them with Your Precious Blood to keep them safe from harm.

Give them the strength to resist the seduction of Satan, should they be distracted by the allure of denying the existence of sin. Amen.

My sacred servants are the backbone of My Church. They are the first in line to face a terrible onslaught of attack from Satan at this time.

Help Me to steer them on the path to salvaging the remnants of My Church as it heads into the schism which will be created by the False Prophet shortly.

Gather together and pray for the unification of My sacred servants who are needed to keep My Church strong in the days which lie ahead.

Your Jesus

Heed not the roars of opposition for human opinion means nothing in My Kingdom




Heed not the roars of opposition for human opinion means nothing in My Kingdom
August 30, 2014fatherofloveandmercy

My dearly beloved daughter, perseverance in suffering brings a soul closer to Me and I reward such trials because of it. Never underestimate how My Presence in a soul never goes unnoticed by the evil one, who is drawn quickly towards those souls where My Presence is strongest. Accept suffering in My Name and understand that the reason for it is because of Me. Were I not present the evil one would ignore you.

The Graces, which I lavish on those who love Me the most, and who have shelved every aspect of self-love and pride, includes the Gift of discernment. This is a very special Gift from Heaven and blessed are those who have the grace to discern the Truth for they are the ones who will never be swayed by falsities.

Those of you who are given this Gift will bring Me souls. But for every soul you bring Me, and because of your prayers and suffering, the evil one will try to stop you. Know that the Glory of God which is present by your side will draw forth a terrible venom and you will be cursed in My Name by those weak souls, who are like fodder for Satan and every demon he has released to destroy souls on earth.

Be at peace and know that when you uphold the Truth – the Word of God – in the face of adversity, all Power of Mine is wielded to save souls. For each soul you bring Me I will lavish more Graces upon you and so it will continue. Heed not the roars of opposition for human opinion means nothing in My Kingdom. You must always see one another as if through My Eyes. Have I not told you this before? Don’t you understand the most basic lesson, which I taught during My Time on earth? Love one another as I love you. If you cannot love your enemies then you will find it more difficult to come closer to Me. If you place yourself before others, then you cannot say you love Me unconditionally for if you did you would say to Me

“Jesus I am not worthy to stand before You, but do with me, what You will, as I will do as You desire.”

Go all of you and remind yourselves as to Who I Am. Only when you live your lives according to My Teachings can you really say you are of Me. You cannot take one part of My Word and proclaim it loudly and then deny other parts. To those who declare their superiority over others, and who present their twisted versions of My Word, and when this results in the drawing of souls away from Me, I say this. The day when I withdraw My Presence in the world, will be when the mighty and the proud will cry tears of anger, and then despair, for they will know then how their deceit caused many souls to fall and the anger of God will make them tremble. There will be screaming and gnashing of teeth. But by then, they will have nowhere to turn. They will have no one to answer to for they will never see My Face.

Your Jesus

Mother of Salvation: The Laws of God will soon be overturned by millions




Mother of Salvation: The Laws of God will soon be overturned by millions

October 6, 2014fatherofloveandmercy

My dear children, the Ten Commandments laid down by God can never be re-written, because that would be a sacrilege. Man can never tamper with the Word and the day will come when the Wrath of God will descend upon humanity, when the Ten Commandments are deemed by man to be flawed. When this happens, know that God’s Word will no longer be revered and that humanity will be led into grave error.

No man, or sacred servant, has been given the authority to overturn the Ten Commandments or the Word of God. No excuse can ever be made to deny the Truth of the Word of God. The Laws of God will soon be overturned by millions of people. Then, all those who fall for the deceit, which will come about as a result, will be blinded by darkness. The Holy Spirit can never enlighten those who deny the Word or who condone sin. When the Holy Spirit is no longer present, and when the Word has been adapted, to suit the selfish needs of man, then any new laws will mean nothing in God’s Eyes.

The enemies of God will move quickly to overthrow the Truth and My Son’s Church will be divided into two. Those who staunchly defend the Truth will be cursed for speaking it. Those who utter profanities and declare these to be the Truth will be applauded. The spirit of evil will roost in the hearts of the misguided and many souls will be lost. They will not be able to present themselves before my Son and declare themselves to be whole, because they refuse to acknowledge the Truth given to them through God’s Mercy.

It will soon be declared that God is Merciful towards all sinners, no matter what they do to offend Him. This is true, but when they offend Him, by presenting before Him every abomination and heresy and then declare that these are acceptable to God, He will turn away from them in disgust.

Man will be so full of his own desires, to suit his sinful life, that he will pronounce unlawful acts as being desirable in God’s Eyes. This will amount to lies. And, when they dare to present these before the altars of God, these souls will be cast out. Should you allow yourselves to be led into grave error, you will place your souls in grave danger.

I ask that you recite the Ten Commandments as often as you can. By doing so, you will know what it is that is required of you in order to truly serve God.

Your beloved Mother

Mother of Salvation: The True Church will become a Remnant




Mother of Salvation: The True Church will become a Remnant
June 28, 2014fatherofloveandmercy

My dearest child, the greatest deception, which will descend upon humanity, will come from within my Son’s Church on Earth and it will be instigated by His enemies, who have infiltrated it by devious means. Satan will enter my Son’s Church and the signs will be clearly seen by those who have the Spirit of God firmly implanted in their souls.

The faith of my Son’s holy servants will be shattered, as many will feel compelled to desert Him through acts of sacrilege. Many poor unfortunate servants will be asked to swear allegiance to a new oath and they will be too frightened to walk away, although many will know, deep within their hearts, that it will be wrong.

Many new rules will be introduced into my Son’s Church on Earth, as thousands of newcomers will be sworn into the Church and they will not be authentic, for they will not have the True Spirit of Christ within their hearts. They will enter the Church and will bear witness to a new one world religion, which will not honour my Son, Jesus Christ. Not only will they not serve Him, their duty will be to serve the needs of humanism, which will, at its very core, deny the Existence of the Supernatural State of God and all that He stands for.

The clergy, who once pledged their lives to God, will be drawn into this great deceit and as a consequence will lose the True Faith. They will not promote the importance of the salvation of souls, which was made possible by my Son’s death on the Cross. The Cross is at the centre of Christianity. There is only one Cross and it will be through the Cross that the first visible signs of the betrayal of my Son will be seen. New kinds of crosses will be introduced which will snub the Sign of the Cross and what it means in the hearts of man.

Non-believers, who up to now, had no interest in Christianity, will be drawn into the so-called new one world church. Along with all other religions, which do not spring from the Truth, they will scoff and sneer at the children of God, who will remain true to the Word of God.

The True Church will become a Remnant and this Army will unite throughout the world to become the latter-day saints and they will be empowered by the Holy Spirit in order to sustain the Truth. They will be spat at; laughed at and accused of being radicals, just as my Son, Jesus Christ, was accused of heresy when He walked the Earth to preach the Truth.

It will require tremendous courage to stay true to the Word of God, for you will be accused of wrongdoing. Your crime they, the enemies of God, will say is that you spread untruths about this abomination. Everything, which comes from God, will be declared to be a lie, while the truth, which they will say is represented by the new one world religion, will be a lie.

The Holy Spirit will, however, cover those who continue to spread the Holy Gospels and my Son will cover you and protect you. The future of the survival of the human race and the right to the Eternal Life, promised to every man, woman and child, will rest on your shoulders. It will be the Remnant, which will keep the Light of God aglow in a world, which will be plunged into darkness.

Many of you will be challenged and lies planted within your hearts, by the spirit of evil, to turn you away from the Truth. Sadly, many of you will find it too difficult to remain true to your convictions and you will be tempted to turn your backs on my Son.

To ensure that you remain strong, courageous, calm and at peace, as you take up the Cross of my Son on your shoulders, you must recite this Crusade Prayer. For many of you who find it difficult to accept that these things are to come, there will come a day when you will recite this, Crusade Prayer (158) three times a day, because the pressures, which will be placed upon you to deny my Son, will be overwhelming.

Crusade Prayer (158) Protect me from the one world religion:

Dear Jesus, protect me from the evil of the new one world religion, which does not come from You. Sustain me on my journey to freedom, along the path to Your Holy Kingdom.

Keep me in union with You, whenever I am tormented and forced to swallow lies, which are spread by Your enemies to destroy souls.

Help me to withstand persecution, to remain firm to the True Word of God against false doctrines and other sacrileges, which I may be forced to accept.

Through the gift of my free will, take me into the Domain of Your Kingdom, to enable me to stand up and proclaim the Truth, when it will be declared to be a lie.

Never let me falter, hesitate or run away in fear, in the face of persecution. Help me to remain firm and steadfast to the Truth for as long as I live. Amen.

Go, my dear children, and accept that these things will happen, but know that if you remain loyal to my Son, you will help to save those souls who will be plunged into error.

They will be accused of crimes against the Seat of Peter and will be publicly humiliated in My Holy Name




They will be accused of crimes against the Seat of Peter and will be publicly humiliated in My Holy Name

May 2, 2013fatherofloveandmercy

My dearly beloved daughter, the Church will be deserted by many in the highest echelons, with many adopting new false doctrines which will lead them into the realm of darkness.

Those who remain loyal to Me, and those who reject the abomination, will be guided by Peter the Apostle, who sat in the first Seat of Rome. He will guide My beloved Benedict, who will, as foretold, help them to see the Truth. He will have to witness the horror, but he will be supported by those who have sworn allegiance to the One True Word of God.

And so the schism will begin. Those who follow the false doctrine, where I, Jesus Christ, am not revered, will be torn to shreds by the beast and his demons. Those innocent servants of Mine, who have not accepted these Messages so far, will now come running to Me for comfort. My prophecies do not lie, and very soon many of these poor souls will be cast away from the Holy See. They will be accused of crimes against the Seat of Peter and will be publicly humiliated in My Holy Name.

I say this to them.

Remain calm and be at peace, for when you follow the Truth you will be saved. You must never accept a watered-down doctrine, which will be empty of My Authority. To those who accept lies, in the belief that you are doing your duty, you must understand that you will have to face a difficult road.

You have two choices.

Remain in the Light of God, or turn your back on My Holy Sacraments.

Soon, many of you will see clearly what I have warned you about. The schism will be vicious and a war will ensue between Truth and lies. It will bring the Catholic Church down, until it resembles a heap of stones, but the One True Church will remain standing tall, as My faithful servants build up My Remnant Army. They will fight until the bitter end to uphold the Holy Word of God.

The time for the schism in the Church is almost here and you must get prepared now




The time for the schism in the Church is almost here and you must get prepared now
March 20, 2012fatherofloveandmercy

My dearly beloved daughter, I wish to embrace all of My disciples and followers everywhere in My Arms at this moment.

I need your comfort, children. I need your consolation in My suffering, as I cry tears for My Church on Earth.

So far removed have some of My sacred servants become, that many do not believe in My Second Coming.

Those priests, bishops and cardinals who do believe are being pushed aside and forced to keep silent.

How I weep for these poor, precious disciples of Mine who have pledged their lives to Me and to the spreading of My Teachings to humanity.

Soon they will have to watch what they say about My Holy Word, for they will be forced to proclaim the teachings of a liar, whose soul does not come from the Light.

Unite, My children, My beloved priests and all those who love Me, now and help Me to save souls.To do this you must not waste one moment. You must tell others of the Great Glory that lies ahead for each and every one of you at My Second Coming.

This Great and Glorious Event will be the moment when you will finally unite with Me, your precious Jesus, Who loves you all so much.

You, My beloved followers, must remain on your guard at all times.

You will be tempted to forsake Me, to denounce My True Teachings and be forced to honour and obey the wolf in sheep’s clothing.

So many poor souls will not only fall under the spell of the false pope – the false prophet, foretold so long ago – but he will have you believe that he has divine powers.

Children the time for the schism in the Church is almost here and you must get prepared now.

Join together as one.

Hold onto each other.

Protect each other and pray for those who will follow the wrong path and pay homage to the false prophet.

Much prayer is needed, but if you do as I tell you, you can save souls.

You, My precious followers, will form the Remnant Church on Earth and will be led by those brave sacred servants, who will recognise the false prophet for what he is.

Do not fear, as I Am bestowing Graces of wisdom, calm and discernment on each of you who ask Me to do so with this prayer:

O Jesus, help me to see the Truth of Your Holy Word, at all times, and remain loyal to Your Teachings, no matter how much I Am forced to reject You.

Stand up now and be brave, all of you, for I will never forsake you.

I will walk with you the thorny road and lead you safely to the Gates of the New Paradise.

All you have to do is trust in Me completely.

Your beloved Saviour

Jesus Christ

The schism in My Church will be broken into different stages




The schism in My Church will be broken into different stages

October 20, 2013fatherofloveandmercy

My dearly beloved daughter, go, all of you, into the world and spread the Gospels, for you will need to do this before the persecution of My Church begins in earnest.

You must place all your trust in Me and be comforted in the knowledge that when the Great Day comes, you will be lifted, body and soul, into My Arms, in just the blink of an eye. This is why you must, with love and patience, remind the world of My Teachings. Remind them that sin exists and will be forgiven, but they must ask Me for forgiveness first.

No matter they are told that sin is second nature to man, they must know that, as God’s children, they must ask for reconciliation every single time, irrespective as to how insignificant their sins may seem. Sin is what separates you from God. The more you sin, the darker you will become; the deeper anguish you will feel and you will be so restless that nothing but My Grace will ease your pain or bring you real peace.

Know that when the reign of heresy commences, that those who become involved with it will feel a terrible loneliness and wretchedness. Yet, to the outside world, all will seem to be acceptable to the Church. While you will struggle internally, all exterior rituals, conducted in the name of a global united church, will make you feel uneasy. Within six months of the heresy being introduced into My Church, many who ignored My Call, will flee and seek out those who remained true to My Holy Word. Then My Army will swell, grow and gather the remnants from all Christian churches and fight the spirit of evil.

The schism in My Church will be broken into different stages. The first stage will be when only those who truly know Me, and understand the Truth of the Holy Gospels, will decide that they cannot accept lies in My Name. The second stage will come about when people are denied the Holy Sacraments, as they are meant to be. The third stage will be when My Churches have been desecrated and that will be when My sacred servants will, at last, understand the Truth contained in the Book of Revelation.

My prophets do not lie. They do not like what they are asked to do. They reveal only My Holy Word and what they are instructed to do by the Holy Will of My Father. The signs that the last prophet – the only prophet given permission from Heaven today to prepare the world for the Second Coming – has come are here now. When you understand that the prophecies, given to the world from Heaven, amount to this – to increase your faith and to ensure that you remain true to My Holy Word, then you will accept them. When they take place, as revealed, then you will know the Truth.

Be ready. Be at peace, for I will walk with all of you who gather now to form My Remnant Army on Earth.

Your Jesus
