MESSAGE OF SEPTEMBER 2ND 1983,

AT PRADO NUEVO OF EL ESCORIAL (MADRID)

 

 

 

(Luz Amparo, in ecstasy, receives the stigmata of the Passion; blood comes out from her forehead, hands and feet.  Sometime later, the Blessed Virgin tells her the following words). 

 

 

OUR LADY: 

 

Yes, my child, here I am to console you and help you to bear this suffering.  My Son also suffers everyday for the salvation of souls; that is why my Son chooses victims as you and others to make amends for men’s sins.

 

 Suffer, my child, as my Heart suffers because I am warning all Humankind.  Humankind does not listen to me; they are empty; for this reason I suffer, my child.  My Heart is full of pain for all my children, they do not listen to my warnings and the world is getting worse.

 

  This human race rebels against God; every day millions of souls fall down into the abyss for all eternity. Poor souls!  Make sacrifices and pray.  At the Cross my Son left you an inheritance, and that inheritance is Me, Mother of all Humankind; therefore, I am Co- Redeemer of Humankind. 

 

 I want you to make sacrifices and prayer for the soul’s salvation because the time is close and men do not stop offending God. It is worth suffering and not being condemned for all eternity. Your damnation or your salvation will last all eternity. Therefore, I ask you not to stop praying.  Go to the sacraments of Confession and the Eucharist.

 

 Look, my child, my Heart is full of sorrow for all my children without distinction of races...  Yes, my child, my Heart does not stop suffering —as any good mother suffers— when seeing millions of children falling down  into the abyss; condemning themselves for their own will.  Therefore, I ask you prayer and sacrifice.  Is it worth owning all the things of the world if you lose your soul in a second?

 

 Human beings’ hearts are hardened; they do not feel compassion for this Immaculate Heart that will succeed above all Humankind.  You cannot touch your Mother’s Heart, my child, not a soul has been purified.  Human beings are so ungrateful, my child! 

 

You can write a name in the Book of Life; in reward, you can choose a name, my child...  There is one more name in the Book of Life, another name that will never be erased. 

 

It is worth suffering to receive the reward.  Look at the reward waiting for these victim souls for the salvation of Humankind...  (Luz Amparo shows happiness at the vision).  You feel so much happiness here, my child!  Here there is neither envy nor wars; here there is only peace, love and happiness.  It is worth making sacrifices and prayer to get into the abodes prepared for you. This path is hard but at the end of it… a great reward! What a reward! 

 

Ask my Immaculate Heart for graces, It will give you them for the salvation of souls. 

 

Be humble and love each other as my Son loves you.  This love is worthy to enjoy his presence later.

 

 I bless you, as the Father blesses you through the Son and with the Holy Ghost.  Good-bye, my children.  Good-bye.


 

 

COMENTARY UPON THE MESSAGES

September 2nd 1983

 

 

 “Yes, my child, here I am to console you and help you to bear this suffering.  My Son also suffers everyday for the salvation of souls; that is why my Son chooses victims as you and others to make amends for men’s sins.” (Our Lady)

 

A note in the message explains that “Luz Amparo in ecstasy, receives the stigmata of the Passion; blood comes out from her forehead, hands and feet.  Sometime later, the Blessed Virgin tells her the following words”.  At that time, Luz Amparo occasionally received the stigmata, according to God’s plans. It was a kind of way to take part in Jesus Christ’s Passion. Besides, Our Lord used stigmatization to convert lots of souls who saw them and to take them to the good way reminding them of Christ’s Passion and his great love for souls.  Not few people have experienced these phenomena along the history of the Church; most of them have reached holiness. Pope John Paul II spoke several times about this supernatural fact; indeed, he referred to father Pio of Pietrelcina (already canonized), the stigmatic friar, in one of his speeches: " Totally absorbed in God, always bearing the marks of Jesus' Passion in his body, he was bread broken for men and women starving for God the Father's forgiveness. His stigmata, like those of Francis of Assisi, were the work and sign of divine mercy, which redeemed the world by the Cross of Jesus Christ. Those open, bleeding wounds spoke of God's love for everyone, especially for those sick in body and spirit.” (3rd, May, 1999). 

 

Stigmata in Luz Amparo

 

What happened to Luz Amparo should be considered a Christian mystery that can only be explained by the Church.  It could be a gift given to Luz Amparo, in order to make her a participant of the Passion of Christ, as St. Paul says:  “... and in my own body to make up all the hardships that still have to be undergone by Christ for the sake of his body, the Church " (Col 1, 24).  Apart from the saints already mentioned, this also happened to saint Catherine of Sienna, saint Gemma Galgani, Saint Bridget (or Brigid) of Sweden; indeed, saint Bridget of Sweden, declared co-patroness of Europe by John Paul II, saw Our Lady when she was just seven years old. She saw Our Lord nailed on the Cross bleeding when she was ten years old and He told her:  "Look at me, my child".  "¿Who has done this to you, my Lord?" the girl asked Him. He answered:  "Those who despise me despise me and make fun of my love".  That vision left an indelible track in Bridget and, from that moment on, Our Lord’s Passion became the centre of her spiritual life.

 

 “Make sacrifices and pray.  At the Cross my Son left you an inheritance, and that inheritance is Me, Mother of all Humankind; therefore, I am Co- Redeemer of Humankind”.  (Our Lady)

 

Although the title of "Co- Redeemer of Humankind" has not been set dogmatically, it has been referred to by not a few statements of Papal teachings.  Besides, the Holy Scriptures have texts leading us to this fact in spite of not saying it specifically. With respect to the Christian Tradition, there are lots of testimonies (from Saint Justin and saint Irenaeus to our days).  What reasons can be given to say the Virgin was truly Co- Redeemer?  Mainly two: 

 

1.  She was the Redeemer’s Mother, which involves the spiritual maternity of all the redeemed.

 

2.  Her great and deep compassion at the Cross, intimately associated to the sacrifice of Jesus the Redeemer. 

 

A new edition of a classical book called The Dolorous Passion Of Our Lord Jesus Christ by the Blessed  Anne Catherine Emmerich, a German mystic beatified by John Paul II; the day of her beatification (3rdm Oct, 2004)he said in the homily that she had seen  "the sorrowful passion of our Lord Jesus Christ and lived it in her body”. The current Spanish edition’s prologue was written by Cardinal Antonio Cañizares, Prefect of the Congregation for Divine Worship.  Curiously, he uses the word "humankind" to refer to Humanity, as in the message; thus, he says, "Our Lady participated constantly in the physical and moral pains of her Son, and this book shows her role as the main co- redeemer of human kind"; he adds, "Our Lady, who was exclusively a human being, contributed to the redemption of Humankind with her own sufferings associated to those of her Son". 

 

 

 “You feel so much happiness here, my child!  Here there is neither envy nor wars; here there is only peace, love and happiness.  It is worth making sacrifices and prayer to get into the abodes prepared for you. This path is hard but at the end of it… a great reward! What a reward!”(Our Lady) 

 

Beautiful words of the Virgin to Luz Amparo when showing her a vision- surely- of Heaven; we understand saint Paul better when he went through something similar and said, “...but it is as scripture says: What no eye has seen and no ear has heard, what the mind of man cannot visualise; all that God has prepared for those who love him; " (1 Co 2, 9).   Nevertheless, we should not forget what the message says later:  " This path is hard but at the end of it… a great reward! What a reward!"  Indeed, we get to the light and to the Glory through the Cross; That is why Jesus advised us in the Gospel:  "Enter by the narrow gate, since the road that leads to destruction is wide and spacious, and many take it; but it is a narrow gate and a hard road that leads to life, and only a few find it"(Mt 7, 13-14).
