            I bless you, my children, as the Father blesses you, through the Son and with the Holy Spirit."

 


MESSAGE OF JULY 23rd 1983

At Prado Nuevo del Escorial (Madrid)

 

OUR LADY:

 

            Look, my child, look at what Humanind’s sins have done to my Son, look at his Body...  (Luz Amparo weeps when seeing this vision).  And Men say my Son does not suffer, my child; every day my Son carries the Cross for the salvation of all Humankind. (Luz Amparo sees angels placing the wounded body of Our Lord on the holy Virgin’s lap). 

 

I want, my children, a chapel in this place in honor of my name, my children; but human beings do not listen to me.  I want you to meditate the Passion of Christ, which is completely forgotten, my child.  Keep on praying, my children, the time is coming and Men do not stop offending my Son.  The Eternal Father is angry; implore the Father, my children, for mercy for Humankind because He is going to pour out his wrath on you at any moment, my children.

 

Be humble as your Mother was humble, and be pure as your Mother was pure too, my children. Do not you laugh at your Mother’s messages; the Punishment is going to take place at any moment, my children, and men do not stop offending God; They are so cruel, my child!, they do not listen; I am appearing in so many places, but they do not listen to my warnings, my child; they do not listen to their Mother’s warnings.

 

            Kiss the ground, my child...  You are doing this for consecrated souls, I love them so much, my child! And so many consecrated souls have withdrawn the path of Christ and live a life of pleasures, my child!  Kiss the ground to make amends for their sins...  You must not, my child, you must not feel embarassed because of any humiliation; all those who humiliate will be praised, my child.  This act of humbleness is good to make amends for the sins of the world, of the consecrated souls, my child.  Poor souls, my child! Their minds got dark and the devil is inside them to carry them along the way of perdition, my child. Their minds are so dark, my child! Poor souls! 

 

Think about the fact that the enemy is among the four angles of the Earth to seize the major number of souls; therefore I ask you, my children: sacrifice and prayer if you want to help those poor souls, so that they will not condemn themselves, my child.

 

Think also about the fact that the world passes; earth is worth for nothing. But the abodes are prepared for all those who want to follow my Son, my children. Take the Cross of Christ and carry it; but do not complain when carrying that cross; do it with humbleness and show no suffering on your face, my children.  Be humble; humbleness, my children, will take you to the abodes.  The fight against the enemy is also close, my children. 

 

Be sealed with the number of Immaculate Mary, of your Mother, Immaculate Mary.  Do not let the enemy seal you with his number, which is 666.  The enemy is in the fight, my children, he is among you; withdraw from those who want to take you to the way of perdition, my children; be disciples, my children, not Herods.  Humbleness is what I ask you, and sacrifice. Do penance, my children, and come close to the path of your Celestial Father; it is a way of thorns, my children.  Satan takes you to the way of "happiness", my children; do not go along the way of roses, take the thorns, because the enemy wants to confuse you.  Be humble, my children, and keep on praying the holy Rosary.  But I also ask those here who have not gone to the sacrament of the Confession to go, my children.  If you do not go to that sacrament, you will not be saved.  Blessed be those who fulfill the Ten Commandments of God´s Law.

 

  I also ask you make vigils, my children, to make ammends for those souls that have not known my Son.

 

 I bless you, my children, as the Father blesses you through the Son and with the Holy Spirit. 

 

Sacrifices, my children, sacrifices your Mother asks you; do not laugh, my children. Listen to my words and, when you get before the Father, the angels will not reject you.  Yes, humbleness is what I ask you, together with sacrifice and charity. 

 

Good-bye, my children.  

 


COMMENT THE MESSAGES

July 23rd 1983

 

“Look, my child, look at what Humanind’s sins have done to my Son, look at his Body...  (Luz Amparo weeps when seeing this vision).  And Men say my Son does not suffer, my child; my Son is daily carrying the Cross for the salvation of all Humankind.” (The Virgin). 

 

It has been said so many times that God does not suffer!  Lots of reasons are given: God is immutable, He cannot be offended by a creature, He is enjoying the Glory, etc. However, the experience of saints (the ones who better know God) teaches us the opposite; our actions do affect God: if they are virtuous, they will make his Heart happy; if they are against the Commandments, they will hurt him.  That is why Our Lady regrets:  And Men say my Son does not suffer”

 

Recently, the Pope Benedict XVI referred to " this realism which proclaims a God who became man, therefore a profoundly human God, a God who suffers, also, with us, gives meaning to our own suffering through a proclamation with a broader horizon, which has more future"; He finished saying, " a human God, a God who suffers with us is more convincing, more real, and offers greater help for life"[1].  It is not the first time, certainly, that the current Pontiff speaks so clearly about God’s suffering.

 

  Kiss the ground, my child...  You are doing this for consecrated souls, I love them so much, my child! And so many consecrated souls have withdrawn the path of Christ and live a life of pleasures, my child!  Kiss the ground to make amends for their sins...  You must not, my child, you must not feel embarassed because of any humiliation; all those who humiliate will be praised[2], my child.  This act of humbleness is good to make amends for the sins of the world, of the consecrated souls (The Virgin).

 

Kissing the ground can be a fanatic action for some people or against the dignity for others; however, for those who truly live the Gospel and practice it will see it as a way of humbleness, a virtue we all need so much; sometimes it will be a private action hidden to the eyes of Men, but not to Our Lord, who sees everything:  “But when you pray, go to your private room, shut yourself in, and so pray to your Father who is in that secret place, and your Father who sees all that is done in secret will reward you” (Mt 6, 6).

 

 In this sense, the saints, who have not behaved moved by human respects, have given us lots of examples.  Thus, Bernadette Soubirous did not mind being critized (she was even called lunatic) when Our Lady of Massabielle, on February 25th 1858, asked her to kiss the ground as a penance for sinners.  The girl knelt down doing what the Virgin told her to do, offering us an example of evangelical simplicity, so far from the arrogant and self-sufficient people who despise these acts of humbleness.

 

 It is a sad reality the fact that some consecrated souls “have withdrawn the path of Christ and live a life of pleasures”. The power of the temptation is great and drags not few of those souls; for that reason, the Hearts of Jesus and Mary are constantly worried about their consecrated souls, as it has been said in the messages of Prado Nuevo. This same doctrine has just been explained clearly and deeply by the Pope Benedict XVI to a group of deacons the day of his priestly ordering; here we include a short fragment of the excellent homily in St. Peter’s Basilica (Rome) :  "By a part we exclaim with happiness, like San Juan in his first Letter:  "You look at what love has had us the Father to call us children of God, therefore ¡we are him!"; and, by another, we verify with bitterness:

 

            "On the one hand we joyfully exclaim, like John did with joy in his first Letter: "See what love the Father has given us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are!"; and on the other with bitterness we observe: "The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him" (1 Jn 3: 1). It is true, and we priests experience this: the "world" in an acceptance of the Johannine definition of the term does not understand the Christian, does not understand the ministers of the Gospel. Somewhat because it does not know God, and somewhat because it does not want to know him. The world does not want to know God so as not to be disturbed by his will, and therefore it does not want to listen to his ministers; this could cause a crisis.

Here we must pay attention to a de facto reality: that this "world", interpreted in the evangelical sense, also lures the Church, infecting members and even ordained ministers. With the word "world", St John indicates and seeks to define a mentality, a way of thinking and living that can pollute even the Church, that in fact does pollute It, thereby requiring constant vigilance and purification. Until God is fully manifest, even his sons are not yet fully "like Him" (1 Jn 3: 2). We are "in" the world, and we risk being also "of" the world, the world in the sense of this mentality. And in fact at times we are. Because of this, Jesus at the end did not pray for the world in this same sense but for his disciples, so that the Father may keep them from evil that they may be free and different from the world, while living in the world (cf. Jn 17: 9,15). At that moment, at the end of the Last Supper, Jesus raised to the Father the prayer of consecration for the apostles and for all the priests of all times, when he said: "Sanctify them in the truth" (Jn 17: 17). And he added: "And for their sake I consecrate myself, that they may also be consecrated in truth" (Jn 17: 19). I emphasized these words of Jesus in the Homily of the Chrism Mass, last Holy Thursday. Today I take up this reflection referring to the Gospel of the Good Shepherd, when Jesus declared: "I give my life for the sheep" (cf. Jn 10: 15,17,18)” (May 3rd 2009).
