Huge disasters are coming upon this world in 2026 – it’s time now to open the eyes of your heart, repent and come to Jesus Christ
Mother Mary to Fernanda on 01/01/2026
My dear children, this new year, 2026, has been predicted by my visionaries and my Son Jesus’ chosen messenger. It’s going to be a catastrophe of natural disasters and many more notorious, huge, massive disasters. Yes, as you, my children, are saying, “Oh, this is a monotonous message that has been said along the years.” But my dear children, be aware, open your hearts, the eyes of your hearts, not the eyes of the flesh. Return your lost faith, come back to reality. Oh, many of you were born with a true faith and teachings, but along the years, you have lost your way in the wrong direction. You turned your backs on your true Saviour. Come, my dear children, do not waste time in returning to your Saviour. Oh, do not hurt my Son Jesus any more. His Sacred Heart bleeds for your salvation. Be strong when trials come. Soon, many tribulations will fall upon this earth. Focus, focus, focus upon your Saviour. You will come safely ashore. I am here to relay, do not fear these, my words, this message of my love, but amend all your failures through sincere repentance of your lukewarm, tepid hearts.
I bless you, your loved ones and all my children. Thank you for responding to my call. Amen.
Father God
My little lamb, I, your Almighty Father, I come here on this first day, 01/01/2026, a new year, a new beginning of transformation of your old habits, confessing your sins with a true remission [of sins] to change your hardened hearts. Oh, do not ignore this, my ultimate warning, towards you all. See the wars, disarray, dismay of these turbulent, rough waters in your surroundings. All over the earth, there are conflicts in many different ways. People don’t respect one another, they don’t understand the meaning of peace, of forgiveness, of letting go of the old issues. Oh, this world is a passing-by to eternity. My people, in this new year, 2026, strive to amend, to retract any words said through anger, misunderstanding, harsh words, hurting one another, families in separation, not talking to one another through pride, arrogance, self-righteousness etc., with no one wanting to admit that they are wrong, [not wanting] to forgive and let go of yesterday’s and today’s mistakes, anger against their loved ones, neighbours. My dear people, amend your consciences. Yes, soon your soul will see the truth, [your] conscience [will be illuminated]. Come, start confessing. Repent. This is the time of salvation of your soul. Come, my people, remove the bad words of the past issues, sift them out, bring good soil, plant good seeds with love, faith and trust. Start afresh, do not take long to do this as my Son Jesus Christ is waiting for your transformation. My Son Jesus is a patient, loving God, but there is always a limit in waiting for your conversion, your change of heart.
I give you my peace, my peace I give you, your loved ones and all my people. Amen.

Saturday of the Eleventh week in Ordinary Time
The Gospel of the Day
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 6,24-34.
Jesus said to his disciples: "No one can serve two masters. He will either hate one and love the other, or be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.
Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat (or drink), or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?
Look at the birds in the sky; they do not sow or reap, they gather nothing into barns, yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are not you more important than they?
Can any of you by worrying add a single moment to your life-span?
Why are you anxious about clothes? Learn from the way the wild flowers grow. They do not work or spin.
But I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was clothed like one of them.
If God so clothes the grass of the field, which grows today and is thrown into the oven tomorrow, will he not much more provide for you, O you of little faith?
So do not worry and say, 'What are we to eat?' or 'What are we to drink?' or 'What are we to wear?'
All these things the pagans seek. Your heavenly Father knows that you need them all.
But seek first the kingdom (of God) and his righteousness, and all these things will be given you besides.
Do not worry about tomorrow; tomorrow will take care of itself. Sufficient for a day is its own evil."
(The Gospel of the Lord)
If these messages are ignored and the Church does not abolish giving Communion on the hands, God’s hand will come down on this world

I Am Love. I Am God. They are one and the same thing
Wednesday, June 19th, 2013 @ 03:00
My dearly beloved daughter, My wish to form the core of My Army on Earth is being fulfilled at this time. From little acorns, they will be scattered and they will grow and spread out everywhere.
My daughter, the foundation is the important part. Just like a baby who is formed in the womb, it takes time and careful attention in order to ensure for the wellbeing of the child, which receives nourishment from the placenta. It will grow slowly, but perfectly, until finally it will be expelled from the womb and be ready to live the life laid down for it by My Father.
The birth of My Remnant Army will be the same. It will take great preparation before it is ready to take its place in the world, but its foundation is solid and souls who are the building blocks, will knit together as one to build a formidable Army. Then this Army will spread out and grow everywhere at once, and with such force, that it will become difficult to ignore it.
Those within My Remnant Army will be devoid of ego, pride or the need to rely on the scientific evaluation of My Word, which will be demanded of them to prove the Truth of God.
Science is a Gift from God, but science cannot explain the Mystery of God. So those who need the comfort of logical explanations as to how I communicate to God’s children on Earth, at this time, will be disappointed. There is no answer which will satisfy them.
One of the greatest Gifts given to man is love. Love cannot be scientifically explained or proved, for it comes from the Spirit of God. It is present in all of you. You feel it. It is the link which holds humanity together, which the power of evil fails to undermine.
I Am Love. I Am God. They are one and the same thing. Without love, you could not have life. Love will unite you, keep you strong, keep you together. Love will help you to bring Me souls.
Your Jesus
Mother of Salvation: These Miracles will happen over a period of three years
Thursday, June 19th, 2014 @ 13:48
My child, the miracles commanded by my Eternal Father will be made known soon in all parts of the earth. These miracles will defy all human reasoning, scientific knowledge and experience.
The earth, the sun and the moon will react to produce very unusual spectacles and many will know that they could only have been made possible by the Hand of God.
These Miracles will happen over a period of three years and they will take place for a reason.
They are to help to ignite the faith of humanity so that they will realize that everything is controlled by the Hand of God.
When wicked acts and deeds are perpetrated by man, they can be intercepted by God.
The battle between the evil one and God is difficult for people to understand. When injustices take place, they are permitted for different reasons, but the main one stems from the need for purification. This may seem unfair, but this is not for man to understand until they are given the Gift of Knowledge, which comes from the Holy Spirit. It is when souls are purified that they will begin to realize the way in which God works in order to bring His children into a state where they can recognize Him.
The Miracles I speak of will include great Acts of God, which will involve tragedies which will be averted and seem to have been impossible from a scientific point of view. They will also involve great signs in the sky; the movement of the earth and the colours associated with nature.
My own involvement with these Miracles will be seen through the signs I will place at my apparition sites around the world.
Do not fear these Miracles as they are a Gift from God. Be thankful for His Mercy; for there is no task too great that He will not take on to ensure that the human race can be awakened so as to accept Him. This is the Will of God, for He loves every one of you.
Your beloved Mother,
Mother of Salvation
"SHE (MARY) IS CLOSER TO THE HOLY TRINITY THAN ANY MORTAL EVER WAS OR WILL BE."
- God the Father 6.2.2007
To learn the doctrine of the complete Image of the United Hearts of the Most Holy Trinity and Immaculate Mary which depicts the four Hearts of God the Father (Flame), God the Holy Spirit (White Heart inside Flame), God the Son (with Thorns) and the Immaculate Heart of Mary (with Roses and Sword), please see: https://t.co/CzQnPOijmr
"Dear daughter, always have a heart full of love, for love is never in error. Love is the path I call you upon. A heart replete with love does not sin, but pursues God's Will in all things. I, Myself was able to answer God's call so completely because My Heart knew nothing but love. Forgive everything and you will not be in error. Then you will be at peace."
- Blessed Mother 6.19.1993
THE VICTORY PRAYER
"I have come to dictate to you the Victory Prayer that I promised you on the Feast of the United Hearts:
Heavenly Father, I (Name), desire to be Your humble instrument in bringing about the Victory of the United Hearts. I understand that this Victory will be a Victory of Your Divine Will through Holy and Divine Love. I wish to be a part of that Victory now, by living in Your Will in this present moment. I embrace the crosses You give me, for I know they are my strength in the journey towards Your Victory in my heart. Remind me, Heavenly Father, that Your Victory will be ours, as well. It will be a Triumph of Love. Help me to be Your Love in the world. Amen."
- Jesus 6.19.2007
I AM ASKING MANKIND TO LOOK WITH SPIRITUAL EYES AT MY REAL PRESENCE
"I am going to begin today a series of messages which come to you through My Eucharistic Heart. In the Eucharist I am stripped of all human dignity. While I am truly present, Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity, I appear only as a bit of bread, a drop of wine. Humanly speaking, to the naked eye, there is nothing more there. But I have told all of humanity that I am present in the Sacred Species. I am asking mankind to look with spiritual eyes at My Real Presence. Feel My Strength. Understand with My Wisdom. I stripped Myself of every attachment to be with you in this simple form. Humbly, I come to you, not in power and glory. You must come to Me in the same way, humbly and without pretense. It is through childlike littleness you will readily recognize Me. When you receive Me in such a way, I enter your heart and you enter My Eucharistic Heart. Then we are united. I cannot leave such a worthy soul until he wills it or until he forgets about Me."
- Jesus 6.19.2008
DISCERNMENT, ENCOURAGEMENT, AND TRUTH FOR THE REMNANT FAITHFUL
"I have come to describe to you the virtue of diligence. Diligence can be likened to the grains of sand in an hourglass. The sand is all the acts performed diligently - that is, for love of God. The hourglass represents the love of God which must embrace every thought, word, and deed in the present moment in order to gain eternal merit. Diligence, more than any other virtue, holds the soul to the present moment. It is through diligence the mundane task is sanctified. Make it known."
- Jesus 6.19.2000
"My dear, dear children, when you pray, pray for all the unconverted and cover your prayers with the Most Precious Blood of My Beloved Son, Jesus. Satan is strong today. He knows he is engaged in a desperate battle. You must be ready and prepared."
- Blessed Mother 6.19.2003
My brothers and sisters, realize that My Mother's Heart is your refuge and shelter during these last days. Realize this and understand that Her Heart is God's Holy and Divine Will. Her Heart is Holy Love and an Eternal Refuge. When you are in Her Heart, which is Holy Love itself, you are better able to choose between good and evil."
- Jesus 6.19.2006

Inside the highest cross of the Sagrada Família, a glass Lamb now hangs.
The sculpture represents the Agnus Dei, or Lamb of God, and is placed inside the upper arm of the Cross on the Tower of Jesus Christ.
Made of glass and surrounded by golden rays, it follows the idea Gaudí left for the centre of the cross — a detail most people will never notice from the street below.

Prayer to Mary, Undoer of Knots
Virgin Mary, Mother of fair love, Mother who never refuses to come to the aid of a child in need, Mother whose hands never cease to serve your beloved children because they are moved by the divine love and immense mercy that exist in your heart, cast your compassionate eyes upon me and see the snarl of knots that exists in my life. You know very well how desperate I am, my pain, and how I am bound by these knots.
Mary, Mother to whom God entrusted the undoing of the knots in the lives of his children, I entrust into your hands the ribbon of my life. No one, not even the Evil One himself, can take it away from your precious care. In your hands there is no knot that cannot be undone.
Powerful Mother, by your grace and intercessory power with Your Son and My Liberator, Jesus, take into your hands today this knot:
[Mention your petitions now]
I beg you to undo it for the glory of God, once and for all. You are my hope.
O my Lady, you are the only consolation God gives me, the fortification of my feeble strength, the enrichment of my destitution, and, with Christ, the freedom from my chains. Hear my plea. Keep me, guide me, protect me, o safe refuge!
Mary, Undoer of Knots, pray for me.

who prowl about the world
seeking the ruin of souls.

PRAYER IN HONOR OF THE SACRED HEART
-
Father, here I am. I know you are always with me. I place my heart in the Heart of your Son Jesus, who gives himself to us in the Eucharist each day. May your Holy Spirit strengthen me to live the Gospel in everything I do and say. For my part I give you this day -– all my prayers, works, joys, and sufferings -– all I am and possess. With Mary, mother of the Church, I pray for the mission of the Church, for all Apostles of Prayer, and for the intentions of the Pope this month. Amen
O Jesus, through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I offer You my prayers, works, joys, and sufferings of this day in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world. I offer them for all the intentions of Your Sacred Heart: the salvation of souls, reparation for sin, and the reunion of all Christians. I offer them for the intentions of our bishops and of all Apostles of Prayer, and in particular for those recommended by our Holy Father this month.
"The Eucharist is the Heart of Jesus perpetually open." It's the continuation of Calvary. It is love that does not know how to stay away from those it loves. It's the permanent miracle of a charity that doesn't give up on leaving us alone. That's why the Sacrario is the center of the world, because there really beats the Heart of a man-made God. »
Father Matthew Crawley-Boevey
QUOTE OF THE DAY
"Work hard every day at increasing your purity of heart, which consists in appraising things and weighing them in the balance of God’s will."
— St. Francis de Sales
Come, Holy Spirit, take full possession of my life.
I surrender to You my mind, my heart, my soul, my body, my past, my present, and my future. Remove from me everything that is not of God, and transform me according to the Heart of Jesus.
Fill me with Your Seven Gifts:
Wisdom, that I may see all things through God’s eyes;
Understanding, that I may know His truth;
Counsel, that I may choose His will;
Fortitude, that I may persevere in every trial;
Knowledge, that I may recognize His presence;
Piety, that I may love Him as a devoted child;
Fear of the Lord, that I may never be separated from Him.
Holy Spirit, produce in me Your holy Fruits:
Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, generosity, gentleness, faithfulness, modesty, self-control, and chastity. May these fruits be visible in my thoughts, words, and actions every day.
Pour upon me Your Charisms according to Your holy will. Grant me every grace needed to build up the Church, serve Your people, and lead souls to Christ. Let every gift You bestow be used not for my glory but for the glory of God and the salvation of souls.
Holy Spirit, consume all pride, selfishness, fear, anger, impurity, and lukewarmness within me. Make me humble, obedient, holy, and faithful. Teach me to pray, to love, to forgive, and to serve as Jesus did.
Form Christ within me. May I think as Christ thinks, speak as Christ speaks, love as Christ loves, and live as Christ lives. Let others encounter Jesus in me. Make me another Christ in the world, a living witness of the Gospel and an instrument of God’s mercy.
Come, Holy Spirit, with Your fire.
Come, Holy Spirit, with Your power.
Come, Holy Spirit, with Your holiness.
Come, Holy Spirit, and never leave me.
Mary, Spouse of the Holy Spirit, pray for me.
Amen.
THE EUCHARIST AND THE SACRIFICE: GIFTS OF THE HEART OF JESUS
From the “Writings” of Saint Alfonso Maria de Liguori, Bishop, Doctor of the Church:
"Oh if we meant the love that burns in Jesus' Heart for us!" This love has still induced him to stay with us in the Holy Sacrament as in a throne of love: because he stands under the appearance of little bread, closed in a chibbor, where it seems to remain in the full annihilation of his majesty, without movement and without the use of the senses, so it seems that she does no other office than to love men.
Love makes you wish for the constant presence of the loved one: this love and this desire made Jesus Christ stay with us in the Holy Sacrament. It seems too short for this Lord in love to have been for only thirty-three years catching men on this earth. , therefore to prove his wish to always be with us, he felt it necessary to perform the greatest of all miracles, which was the institution of the Holy Eucharist.
But the work of redemption was already done, men had already been reconciled to God: what was the use of Jesus’ stay on earth in this Sacrament? He stays with you because he can’t part ways with us saying that he finds his pleasures with us. This love has also induced him to eat our souls, in order to unite with us and make our hearts and His the same thing: «Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood lives in me and I in him».
Jesus died to become a priest: it was not necessary that the Redeemer died to save the world, but it only took a drop of blood, a single tear, a prayer to bring health to all; because this prayer, being of infinite value, was enough to save not one, but a thousand worlds. But to become a priest was the death of Jesus Christ necessary; otherwise where would have the victim that the priests of the new law now offer to God?
Oh wow! The excess of divine love! Out of the beloved heart of Jesus came all the sacraments, and mainly came this sacrament of love, with which it becomes a companion of life, food of the soul, a sacrifice of infinite value.
