Last Night of the Year
Last Night of the Year
a "Beloved children, spend with me, in recollection
and prayer, the last hours of
this year which is about to end. Do not let yourselves
be taken up with dissipation, clamor and amusements, in which the majority of my poor children spend these hours. Read, in silence, the signs of your time, and join
in my great concern for what awaits you.
b Great is my concern because this humanity, so ailing, is continuing in its obstinate rejection of
God and of his Law of love. In many ways and with
numerous signs and extraordinary interventions, I have intervened in the
course of this year, to urge it to conversion and to its return to the Lord.
c But I have not been listened to. The
name of the Lord is scorned, and his day is more and more
profaned. Egoism is suffocating the hearts
of men, become cold and closed due to a great incapacity to love. Life
is considered of little value: vio- lence
and homicides are increasing; all kinds of means are being used to
prevent the birth of more children; willful abortions, this terrible crime which day and night cries to your
God for vengeance, are increasing everywhere; impurity is spreading
like a great tide of filth which is sweeping everything before it.
d The cup of divine justice is full to overflowing. I see
the chastisement by which
the mercy of God wishes to purify and save this poor
sinful humanity. How numerous and great are the sufferings which await you, my poor children, so enticed and ensnared
by Satan, the spirit of falsehood, who is seducing you and leading you to your
death!
e — Great is my concern because my Church is at the
mercy of the forces of evil
which are threatening it and attempting to destroy it from within. Masonry, with its diabolical
power, has set up its center
in the very heart of the Church, where the Vicar of
my Son Jesus resides, and from there it is spreading its evil influence to every part of the world. And now the
Church will once again be betrayed by
its own; it will be cruelly persecuted and led to the gibbet.
f I see that the bloody persecution is
now at the doors, and many of you will be
scattered by the violent wind of this frightful hurricane.
9 During these
hours, share in my great concern, and unite yourselves, each and all, to my prayer of intercession and
reparation. Multiply
everywhere the cenacles of prayer which I have asked of you, as safe places, as refuges in
which you take shelter in the tremendous storm
which awaits you.
h In the cenacles, you will be aware of
my extraordinary presence.
I In the cenacles, you will experience
the security and peace which your heavenly Mother gives you.
j In the cenacles, you will be preserved from
evil and defended from the great dangers which threaten you.
k In the
cenacles, you will be formed by me in confidence and in a great hope because the cenacle is the place of your salvation, which the heavenly Mother has prepared for you, in
these last times in which the great trial has now come for all."
