                                   COMMENTARY UPON MESSAGES

 

                                               December 25th 1982

 

 

"I wish, my daughter you would keep vigil to repair so many sins committed these days, my daughter, by the young"

 

            It is the first time in Prado Nuevo's messages that Our Lady asks for vigils or times for prayer, especially at night although it will not be the last. What is the reason for these nocturnal vigils? Undoubtedly, they seek to compensate for so many Jesus's sins committed during those same hours; this kind of prayer eases and Mary's Hearts that are greatly offended. That is why the Virgin will say on August 15th1983, "I ask you to keep on vigils, they please me so much, my children!" and She would say later "Keep on vigils, they please me so much, my children…" (15-9-1983)

            In Spain It is well-known the Adoración Nocturna Española; it has turns of vigil around the country; the adoradores (i.e. worshippers) meet together one night a month and pray before the Holy Sacrament , sometimes it lasts all night and others part of it. Whereas others sleep or, what is worse, sin, these faithful Catholic people keep at vigil and worship the Lord hidden in the Eucharist. We cannot forget those religious communities that praise the Lord during some hours in the night to comfort the Divine Heart while others are offending Him.

            There are different prayers to repair offences before the Holy Sacrament although we only include one of them which may be useful for our readers

 

                        Act of Reparation before the Holy Sacrament

 

Lord Jesus, we kneel down before you, we grant your real presence in the Holy sacrament. We thank you infinitely for staying with us and the faith you have given us.

            We feel a deep sorrow when so many people, redeemed by you, forget you and offend you; you are alone in so many sacrariums and not invited to so many homes…

            We, repented of our sins, as much as we are able, want to accompany you for those who abandon you, and commit our lives to you as an offering and reparation to your Heart, full of love for us.

            Holy Mary, Our Mother, we trust in your Immaculate Heart. It will give us the graces we need to persevere in faith, encourage us by hope and live charity to satisfy for our sins and for the salvation of the world. Amen.

·       For all blasphemies, sacrileges, profanations of festivals committed against the name of God and his temples…

     

      Forgive us, Lord, forgive us

 

·       For all the attacks against the Church, persecutions and propaganda of atheism…

·       For the apostates, those who despise the Magister of the Pope and all false prophets…

·       For all the oppressions of government, slavery, criminality and all the work, familiar and social injustices…

·       For all the inhuman acts of violence, murders, abortions, tortures, terrorism, bad treatments, robberies, cheats, extortions…

·      For all the immorality and corruption in work, relationships, theatres, television, amusements, fashion, readings, drinks, drugs…

·       For all the sins of scandal and human respect…

·       For all the sins against the sanctity of Family and brotherly love…

·       For all the unworthy priests, ambitious politicians, for all the abuses of authority…

Jesus Christ, we ask Your Heart to give graces in abundance to those who need them most and not to let us abandon you but, learning from Your Heart, resemble you in our feelings and thoughts.

 

            Unfortunately, the young are those who mainly go out at night and they come back home very late; they are among thousands of dangers threatening their bodies (alcohol, drugs…) and, especially, their souls. They and the dangers surrounding them are some of the great concerns of the Lord and the Virgin expressed in the messages; they refer to the disorder of their lives but, at the same time, they hopefully invite them to change. Some of these  references to the young are the following: "I want a way in this work for the young, so that they can devote themselves in body and soul to this great Work(…) with deep prayer, spirit of sacrifice and penance" ( Our Lady, 5-9-1987); "I wish the young would learn the Gospel as it is and you would go from town to town teaching men the truth and Jesus Christ's Word" ( Our Lady, 3-2-1990); " I will put in your way souls who will pull your Work through, my child. Can you not see so many young people who have left everything aside to devote themselves to this Work, yours and mine?" (4-8-1990)

 

            It is worth taking into account this aspect of the message for the current young will be the future adult and he will run the history of the world socially, economically, politically…and, of course, religiously. How much Pope John Paul II loved the young! He always talked to them with a loving and demanding message. His successor in Peter's Chair, Benedict XVI, has enthusiastically spoken to them several times; indeed, a few months ago he encouraged them to" build their lives on Jesus Christ, receiving joyfully the word and practicing the doctrine: this, young of the third millennium, should be your programme! (…) and, if Jesus calls you, do not be afraid of following him with generosity, especially if He proposes you to follow him in a consecrated or sacerdotal life. Do not be afraid; trust in him and you will not get disappointed"[1]
