MESSAGE OF
AT PRADO NUEVO OF EL
OUR LADY:
Thank you,
my child. Take the cross; take the cross on your shoulders, my child. Stand up.
Carry the cross.
LUZ AMPARO:
Ay, it
weighs so much…ay!
OUR LADY
Hold it,
my child, my Son carried it whole hours for all sinners
LUZ AMPARO:
Ay, ay,
ay! The cross! Ay, ay, ay! The cross! Ay Mother! Ay, ay, ay! The cross! Ay, My
God...
OUR LADY:
Take
shelter in Our Hearts, my child. My Son is going to unload a little bit of the
Cross to load it on you. Hold it, my child; you have to go through this. Look at
such a bright light, my child; look at the light; it will help you carry the
cross. Take shelter in Our Hearts.
LUZ AMPARO:
Ay, it’s
so much pain! Ay it’s so much pain!
OUR LADY:
Drink from
the chalice of sorrow, my child. The chalice of sorrow is about to finish. Take
some drops, my child. Share the Passion with my Son…
LUZ AMPARO:
Ay, ay!
OUR LADY:
Suffer, my
child, because after the suffering you will share the happiness as a reward for
all your sufferings, my child.
Kiss the ground, my child…This act of
humbleness is good for the salvation of souls, my child, especially the
priests. Prayer together with sacrifice… for all my children,
for all, my child. Human beings are getting worst everyday; they don’t
want to repent of their sins. Without humbleness and sacrifice, my child, you
cannot get to Heaven.
LUZ AMPARO:
Ay, ay, my
back! Ay, my back!
OUR LADY:
My Son
feels these hits everyday for the sin of men, child. Be humble, my children, be
humble. I bless you in the name of the Father, with the Son and with the Holy
Ghost.
Goodbye, my children, goodbye.

seems to speak in an unknown language) Again, ay my Angel, it’s so much
pain! Ay my Angel! Clean me here! Ay, it’s so much pain! Ay, on my knees! Ay
there! Ay it’s so much pain! Ay take (as
if she gAve something to someone) Ay it’s so much pain! (Words that cannot be understood)
It’s sour. Ay it’s so
sour! Ay, what have you done to me here? My shoulder aches a lot. Ay it’s so
much pain! Ay, my God! Ay, My God! Ay don’t put it on me! (She is referring to the crown of thorns); don’t put it on me now.
Don’t put it on me… (Words that cannot be
understood) Don’t take it off! Put it on me again! Hold me! Ay hold me... (Words that cannot be understood) My
shoulders, ay my shoulders! Ay…!
COMMENTARY UPON MESSAGES
“Thank you, my child. Take the cross; take the cross
on your shoulders, my child. Stand up. Carry the cross (…) Hold it, my child,
my Son carried it whole hours for all sinners.” (Our Lady)
At the
beginning of this message there is a dialogue between The Virgin and Luz Amparo
while She offers her to carry her Son’s cross; the
rest of the message focuses on these mysteries of sorrow.
The
spirituality of Prado Nuevo is based on the meditation of the Passion of Jesus
Christ, as Our Lady said on
Some years ago, the Congregation
for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments released Directory on Popular Piety and the Liturgy:
Principles and Guidelines where different ways of popular devotion are
gathered; among them, the mystery of the Passion is referred to with these
words[2]: “The Gospel texts of
the Passion are especially detailed (…) this has induced the faithful to turn
their attention to specific aspects of the Passion of Christ, making of them
specific devotions: devotion to the "Ecce Homo", Christ despised,
"crowned with thorns and clothed in a purple cloak" (John 19, 5), and
shown to the multitude by Pilate; devotion to the five sacred wounds of Christ,
especially to the side of Christ from which flowed blood and water for the
salvation of mankind (John 19, 34); devotion to the instruments of the Passion,
the pillar at which Christ was scourged, the steps of the Praetorium, the crown
of thorns, the nails, the lance that pierced Him; devotion to the Holy Shroud.
(nº 129)
Other pious
practices related to the Passion and included in Directory on Popular Piety and the Liturgy are:
-
Via Crucis: Of all
the pious exercises connected with the veneration of the Cross, none is more
popular among the faithful than the Via Crucis. Through this pious
exercise, the faithful movingly follow the final earthly journey of Christ:
from the Mount of Olives, where the Lord, "in a small estate called
Gethsemane" (Mk 14, 32), was taken by anguish (cf. Lk 22, 44), to Calvary
where he was crucified between two thieves (cf. Lk 23, 33), to the garden where
he was placed in freshly hewn tomb” (131)
-
Via Matris: Modelled
on the Via Crucis, the pious exercise of the Via Matris dolorosae,
or simply the Via Matris, developed and was subsequently approved by the
Apostolic See(…) Its fundamental intuition is a reflection on the life of Our
Lady from the prophecy of Simeon (cf. Lk 2, 34-35), to the death and burial of
her Son, in terms of a journey in faith and sorrow: this journey is articulated
in seven "stations" corresponding to the "seven dolours" of
the Mother of Our Saviour (…). Since the sorrows of Our Lady are caused by the
rejection of her Son (cf. John 1,11; Lk 2, 1-7; 2, 34-35; 4, 28-29; Mt 26,
47-56; Acts 12, 1-5), the Via Matris constantly and necessarily refers
to the mystery of Christ as the suffering servant (cf. Is 52, 13-53, 12). It
also refers to the mystery of the Church: the stations of the Via Matris
are stages on the journey of faith and sorrow on which the Virgin Mary has
preceded the Church, and in which the Church journeys until the end of time.
(nn. 136-137)

The
Precious Blood of Christ: “The veneration of the Blood of Christ has passed
from the Liturgy into popular piety where it has been widely diffused in
numerous forms of devotional practices. Among these mention can be made of the
following:
·
the Chaplet of the Most Precious Blood, in
which the seven "effusions of the Blood of Christ" (…) are recalled
in a series of biblical meditations and devotional prayers: the Blood of the
Circumcision, the Blood of the Garden of Gethsemane, the Blood of the
Flagellation, the Blood of the Crowning of Thorns, the Blood of the Ascent to
Calvary, the Blood flowing from Christ's side pierced by the lance;
·
The Litany of the Blood of Christ, which
clearly traces the line of salvation history through a series of biblical
references and passages. In its present form it was approved by the Blessed
John XXIII on 24th February 1960(195);
·
Adoration of the Most Precious Blood of Christ takes a
great variety of forms, all of which have a common end: adoration and praise of
the Precious Blood of Christ in the Eucharist, thanksgiving for the gift of
Redemption, intercession for mercy and pardon; and offering of the Precious
Blood of Christ for the good of the Church;
·
the Via
Sanguinis: a recently instituted pious devotion, practised in many
Christian communities, whose (…)roots are African. In this devotion, the
faithful move from place to place, as in the Via Crucis, reliving the
various moments in which Christ shed his blood for our salvation.(n.178)
