COMMENTARY UPON MESSAGES

June 11th 1983

"Yes, my child, I want you to spread the devotion to my Immaculate Heart everywhere,, my children. I promise I will give all those who spread the devotion to my Immaculate Heart the graces they need during all their lives and protect them against the punishment of Hell, my children. Spread the devotion to my Immaculate Heart; My Immaculate Heart will reign over all Humankind"

The origin of this precious devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary is in the Gospel: The Church proposes the Gospel of Saint Luke for the Mass celebrated the Saturday following the Solemnity of the Heart of Jesus; it narrates how Child Jesus got lost and was finally found in the temple and how all those facts were kept by Mary in her Heart.

Mary has a praying and contemplative Heart; It is a Heart that meditated constantly and deeply everything; It is the Heart Jesus loves most; It is full of charity towards God and the neighbour; it burns constantly in pure love. It is for us, current men and women, a motherly Heart that is not indifferent to the joys and sorrows of Humankind.

At Prado Nuevo, The Virgin has appeared frequently under this name. At the beginning of these manifestations, on November 23rd 1980, Our Lord said to Luz Amparo, "My child, pray a lot for the peace of Spain and the world. Make lots of sacrifices and ask them to do so, ask them not to hurt the Divine Heart of Jesus anymore and tell them they must ask for the intercession of my Divine and Pure Mother, whose heart is pierced with sorrow because of so many offences against her Son"

Apart from the promise made in the message we are commenting on ("I promise I will give all those who spread the devotion to my Immaculate Heart the graces they need during all their lives and protect them against the punishment of Hell "), there are related to Her Heart because Mary has made several promises at Prado Nuevo. Let us remember some of them:

· " I promise all those who believe in my purity and those who have consecrated to my Immaculate Heart I will give them all the graces they need to get to the Kingdom of Heaven" ( December 8th 1982)

· "To all those who take refuge in my Immaculate Heart, all those who take the holy Communion on first Saturdays of month I promise I will give them their reward in Heaven" ( April 23rd 1983)

· " To all those who feel devotion to this Immaculate Heart I promise I will save them, my child, I will implore my Son to ask the Father for this" (August 3rd 1985)

As She did in Fatima, at Prado Nuevo Our lady has assured us more than once that one day her triumph over the world will be real, according to God's plans:

· "Spread the devotion to my Immaculate Heart; My Immaculate Heart will reign over all Humankind " ( June 11th 1983)

· "Ask graces to my Immaculate Heart. My immaculate Heart will triumph over all Humankind" (June 11th 1983)

· "My child, ask my Immaculate Heart; it will help you and triumph over all Humankind" (November 19th 1983)

· "My children, Love your mother a lot; your Mother loves you with all her Heart! You should think that My Heart, this Immaculate heart, will triumph over all Humankind" ( November 1st 1986)

"Be humble, my children, I also ask you to love your neighbour; if you don't love your neighbour, you don't love my Son."

In the messages of Prado Nuevo, charity and humbleness appear together a lot. Humbleness is the base of charity for those who admit their own defects, look for the treasures of God, who is Love, and build the building of spiritual life on rock.

Saint Ambrose said, "These two virtues, that is to say, humbleness and charity, are inseparable in such a way that if you take possession of one you will get the other necessarily; for humbleness is a part of charity and charity is a part of humbleness"[2]. Theophan the Recluse said "You say you don't have humbleness or charity; if you don't have humbleness or charity, all spiritual things are absent; the spiritual part is born when they are born and it grows up when they grow up. They are for the soul what the domain of flesh is for the body. Humbleness is acquired by acts of humbleness and charity with acts of charity."[3]

In the message of August 15th 1986, Solemnity of the Assumption, Luz Amparo saw the Virgin in one of the previous moments of her departure to Heaven; curiously She exhorted the apostles to persevere in the practice of both virtues, so important for the priestly life "Persevere in humbleness, persevere in charity" She told them. Likewise, Benedictus XVI marked them as indispensable for priests, standing out that their life requires a serious compromise of personal sanctification and practice of virtues, especially humbleness and charity"[4]
