JUNE 1ST 2012, FIRST SATURDAY OF MONTH

AT PRADO NUEVO OF EL ESCORIAL (MADRID)

 

Luz Amparo has not been able to communicate Our Lady’s blessing these months because of her delicate health. However, let us remember some of the Virgin’s words:  “All those who come to this place will be blessed” (The Virgin, June 7th 1986). “Come to this place, there will be always graces” (Our Lord, December 7th 1991).

 

 

 

MESSAGE 14TH APRIL 1984

AT PRADO NUEVO OF EL ESCORIAL (MADRID)

 

Our Lady:

My child, sacrifice and penance are really valuable these days.

     Meditate upon Christ, my children; Christ dying for all Humankind. Your charity must come from your hearts, not from your lips, my children. You can help Christ carry the Cross, my children. The Cross is for all those who accept it humbly, my children.

     My child, you must be humble and you must offer yourself as a victim for the salvation of souls, as I’ve told you before.

Kiss the ground, my child, as an act of penance…

My child, this act of penance is good for the salvation of souls; that’s why I ask you sacrifice, my children: sacrifice together with prayer.

If a beggar knocks your door any of these days, receive him with love, my children; your charity should come from your heart. He could be Jesus Christ as a beggar to test your charity, my children.

Look, my child, look at My Heart; you haven’t seen it for a long time. It’s full of thorns for all consecrated souls, for all those who don’t fulfill their vows. Take one thorn away, my child, the one in the centre of my Heart… pull, pull my child! My Heart suffers because men don’t stop offending God.

     Drink some drops from the Chalice of Sorrow, my child. These days are very important for Humankind. If they made sacrifice, if Humankind…lots of people would save their souls. Take the chalice, my child…it’s very bitter, my child, as well as My Heart, which feels bitterness for men’s sins.

My child, I told you that the chalice was almost over. My child…Only a few drops are left! And when it’s over, there will be a Punishment on all Humankind, it will be horrible, my child.

So I ask you, my child: say the holy Rosary; I wish you prayed the three parts offering them for the salvation of souls.

Hell is horrible, my children. If some of you think that it doesn’t exist, it is a lie, my children. If someone told you God is merciful and He will not punish you…God is mercy and love, my children… but for those who ask for the forgiveness of their guilt.

 Therefore, my children, sacrifice, my children. I say it with all my Heart: sacrifice! Help save those souls who don’t want to receive My Heart’s grace.

Kiss the ground again, my child, for consecrated souls; My Heart loves them so much! They give nothing in return! All this is good for these poor souls, my child. Pray for them, my children. They are weak and the shrewd demon darkens their minds. I said it before, my children: he shows them a path of pleasures to conquer their souls.

My children! You can help so many souls my children; lots of souls condemn themselves because no one, no one remembers to say a prayer for them!

I keep on saying: make sacrifices and be humble, my children.

I’ll bless you … through the Son and with the Holy Spirit (the following word cannot be understood as Luz Amparo is very tired)

My children, these days I`ll give you a special blessing.

Raise all your objects; all these objects have been blessed…

Bye, my children, bye.

 

 

COMMENTARY UPON MESSAGES

APRIL 14TH 1984

 

“Meditate upon Christ, my children; Christ dying for all Humankind. Your charity must come from your hearts, not from your lips, my children. You can help Christ carry the Cross, my children. The Cross is for all those who accept it humbly, my children.” (Our Lady)

Meditating on Jesus Christ Passion is so good for our souls! Lots of souls feel sorrow and repent from their guilt by watching an image of Jesus crucified! Lots of graces are poured on souls when beautiful images of the Passion are carried in processions along our streets!

“Your charity must come from your hearts” is what Saint Paul advises us in his letter to the Romans: “Let love be without any pretence. Avoid what is evil; stick to what is good. In brotherly love let your feelings of deep affection for one another come to expression and regard others as more important than yourself. In service of the Lord, work not halfheartedly but with conscientiousness and eager spirit. Be joyful in hope, persevere in hardship; keep praying regularly; share with any God’s holy people who are in need; look for opportunities to be hospitable”.[1]     

“If a beggar knocks your door any of these days, receive him with love, my children; your charity should come from your heart. He could be Jesus Christ as a beggar to test your charity, my children.” (Our Lady)

In a preaching about almsgiving, saint Bernadine of Siena said, “When a beggar knocks your door begging for the sake of God, welcome him cheerfully. Thus, your words, your heart, your countenance and your eagerness will show that your present is being given joyfully. A word when you give money comforts more than what you may think“

This charity ideal is reflected in one of Luz Amparo’s words dedicated to the sisters “Reparadoras de la Virgen de los Dolores” to encourage them to live their vocation of service:

“…To be true, love must stand on Christ. Be kin them, for kindness leads to holiness. May your hearts be happy to make the sad happy (…).

We should not think only of the food we give, but also the love they need.

Do you want to improve? Be affectionate and kind with those who suffer (…).

Young girls, who have left everything for the others, keep your charity and joy to make them happy”.

 

Resembling the poor, the beggar, the one who suffers…with Jesus Christ is what the Gospel encourages us: “And the King will answer, "In truth I tell you, in so far as you did this to one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did it to me”[2] All saints have practiced it. Saint Camille of Lellis saw in the sick “Christ so alive that lots of times while he was feeding them he thought they really were Christ Himself and asked them His Grace and the forgiveness of his sins. He treated them with great respect, as if he was really and truly with the Lord. He usually talked about the holy charity and he would have wished filling all mortals’ hearts with it[3].   

 “Hell is horrible, my children. If some of you think that it doesn’t exist, it is a lie, my children. If someone told you God is merciful and He will not punish you…God is mercy and love, my children… but for those who ask for the forgiveness of their guilt.” (Our Lady)

 At Cova da Iria, on 13th July 1917, Our Lady of Fatima said so to the little shepherds, Lucia, Francisco and Jacinta (these last two have already been beatified), “You have seen hell where the souls of poor sinners go. To save them, God wishes to establish in the world devotion to my Immaculate Heart. If what I say to you is done, many souls will be saved and there will be peace.” Although they were children, She did not hide the eternal truths and She talked to them about Hell.

“God is mercy and love, my children… but for those who ask for the forgiveness of their guilt” Our Lady says, which means that God always forgives those who ask for the forgiveness of their guilt but He requires a humble attitude in the sinner. Forgiving when the sinner does not ask God for forgiveness is unfair and it would not be good for that soul because he would not receive the grace. God is always with open arms to receive the sinner, as the Father in the parable of the Prodigal Son; He waits everyday for his child to come back and hold him in forgiveness:So he left the place and went back to his father. 'While he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was moved with pity. He ran to the boy, clasped him in his arms and kissed him. Then his son said, "Father, I have sinned against Heaven and against you. I no longer deserve to be called your son."[4]
