MAY 5th 2012, FIRST SATURDAY OF MONTH
AT
PRADO NUEVO OF EL ESCORIAL (MADRID)
As it happened last month, Luz Amparo could
not communicate Our Lady’s blessing because of her illness. However, the Virgin
will keep on blessing the pilgrims, as She said in the messages of Prado Nuevo : “ …All those who come to this place will be blessed”
(The Virgin, June 7th 1986). “Come to this place,
there will always be graces here” (The Lord, December 7th 1991).
MESSAGE 8TH APRIL 1984
AT PRADO NUEVO OF EL ESCORIAL (MADRID)
THE VIRGIN:
My
child, I’ll show you the place to build the Chapel, my child…(Luz Amparo walks in ecstasy following the
directions of the Blessed Virgin). Take off your shoes, my child. From this
place to that part of the last tree, my child, length and width; width, up to
this place, my child… (Luz Amparo walks barefoot over rocks and mud towards that tree).
I’ve
said everything, my children. Measure this place, my children, width and
length. Come back where you were before…(Luz Amparo in ecstasy
walks back to where she was).
And
now, my child, I only wanted to say how I’d like my Chapel, my child; I want
people from all around the world to come here, to get in this chapel, my child.
Measure what I’ve shown you. There is no excuse, my child, because I’ve said
everything.
LUZ AMPARO:
(Crying) It doesn’t depend on me, it
doesn’t…ay!...
THE VIRGIN:
I’ve
told you to talk to the bishop, my child; I said it a long time ago.
LUZ AMPARO:
(Still crying) Ay…I can’t, and I
couldn’t go there!
THE VIRGIN:
Go
away, my child; it’s the moment. And I’ll tell you to go to the Cardinal later.
My child, the statue I’ve asked must be done, but you have to talk to the
Bishop first; I manifest so often because I want this message to be fulfilled.
LUZ AMPARO:
I can’t, ay …I can’t, I
can’t, ay..! (These words are hardly
understood as Luz Amparo is crying a lot).
THE VIRGIN:
Go, my child, it’s up to you; but don’t waste more
time, my child. You’ll suffer a lot; they`ll call you insane.
LUZ AMPARO:
No, don’t let that happen, don’t let that happen.
THE VIRGIN:
I’ve told you, my child, that
your destiny is to be a victim. My child, obey my messages; if what I ask is
not given, that won’t depend on you., my child. Kiss
the ground, my child, to make amends for poor sinners, my child…
I
bless you, my children, as the Father blesses you, through the Son and with the
Holy Spirit.
Bye,
my children, bye.
COMMENTARY UPON MESSAGES
April 8th 1984
“My child, I’ll show you the place to build the Chapel, my child…(Luz Amparo walks in ecstasy
following the directions of the Blessed Virgin). Take off your shoes, my child.
From this place to that part of the last tree, my child, length and width;
width, up to this place, my child…
I’ve
said everything, my children. Measure this place, my children, width and
length. Come back where you were before…” (The Virgin)
The message we have to
comment this month deals with the chapel Our Lady has always asked for;
curiously, we have just known the Cardinal Archbishop of Madrid has authorized
its construction. Once the proceedings required by the council of El Escorial
are fulfilled, the chapel will be built and lots of graces will be poured on
all those who fulfill Our Lady’s promises.
1984 is the year with
more messages as they could happen any day; from June 1985, they started to
take place each first Saturday of month. That day, April 8th 1984,
Our Lady made Luz Amparo walk barefoot among mud and
stones; indeed there are pictures showing her feet full of mud.
“Take off your shoes, my child…” is a request that reminds us of
that one Yahweh asked Moses in the Horeb, before the
burning bush. “When Yahweh
saw him going across to look, God
called to him from the middle of the bush. 'Moses, Moses!' he said.
'Here I am,' he answered. 'Come no nearer,' he said. 'Take off your sandals,
for the place where you are standing is holy ground.”[i]
“Go away, my child; it’s the moment. And
I’ll tell you to go to the Cardinal later. My child, the statue I’ve asked must
be done, but you have to talk to the Bishop first; I manifest so often because
I want this message to be fulfilled.”
We
have already talked about two important aspects: the statue in the commentary
of the message on March 24th 1984 and the reason why Our Lady wants
Luz Amparo to talk with the Bishop. With respect to
the former, it was made by Portuguese pilgrims and it has the characteristics
described in that message; it is similar to the image painted by Elvira
Soriano, who died recently (November 7th 2011), and called “Glorious
Virgin of John Paul II). Dealing with the last, let us remember that Luz Amparo did not understand why The Virgin had asked her to
talk with the Cardinal as Ángel Suquía
Goicoechea was the Archbishop of Madrid-Alcalá; that would happen the following year (May 25th
1985), which could be seen as an announcement.
“I’ve told you, my child,
that your destiny is to be a victim. My child, obey my messages; if what
I ask is not given that, won’t depend on you, my child.” (The Virgin)
She reminds her of her condition
of victim soul, a group of souls chosen by the Lord to fulfil
his plans of salvation. She had explained her several times before, “…my Son
chose you as a victim, my child; you have to be strong. He chose you as a
victim for the good of all Humankind, my child, for the salvation of souls” (September
9th 1983)
The Chapel was a wish Our Lady
had asked for a long time and all pilgrims have longed for; however, it is only
now that the Church has approved it when the construction permit has been
requested to the local authorities; this could not be differently as we are
children of the Church and follow the spirit of obedience taught in the
messages. For this reason, Luz Amparo was asked to
talk with the Bishop and “if what I ask is not given, it won’t depend on you”, The Virgin says.
However, if what the Immaculate
Heart of Mary is fulfilled, “there will be healings” as She
had already promised in her first message of Prado Nuevo: “I am Our
Lady of Sorrows. I want a chapel to be built in this place in my honour. I want people to come here from all over the world
to meditate on the Passion my Son endured, because it is forgotten. If they do people
will be cured. This water will cure”
