Everything has Been Received in Heaven

[Message for pilgrims to São José dos Pinhais].

My children, peace be with you.

Today I am speaking very close to you. Welcome to your Mother’s house. My beloved children, you who have come from afar, you who have walked with faith, you who seek consolation, grace, and peace, I welcome you into my heart.

Little children, every step you have taken to come here has been seen by God. Every sacrifice, every intention, every silent prayer, everything has been received in heaven. My children, you are not here by chance. I have called you, my children: listen to me attentively. You did not come merely to see a place. You did not come merely out of curiosity. You did not come merely out of emotion; you came to find God.

This place is holy, not in itself, but because here heaven has touched earth. And the greatest miracle I wish to perform here is within your hearts.

Do not return home the same as when you arrived. If you brought wounds, entrust them to God. If you are far away [from God], come back. Confess your sins. Pray with your heart. Open your soul to grace. Do not harden your hearts. This is a place of prayer. Pray not only with your lips, but with your heart. Offer sacrifices [acts of sacrifice]. Make reparation for your sins. Console the heart of my Son Jesus.

How many souls pass through here and do not truly pray? Do not be like that. Keep inner silence. In this place God speaks to the heart, but silence is necessary in order to listen. Stay away from distractions, empty conversations, agitation, and let God act.

My children, do not transform holy sites into mere places to visit. Do not come only to seek signs without seeking conversion. Do not seek emotions without changing your lives, for many pass by, but few are transformed. And this saddens my heart.

My children, what you receive here should not remain here. Take it to your homes, to your families, your lives. Be witnesses, be light, be signs in the world. My children, I receive you, but I also send you.

Remain in God’s love. Live out what you have received and always return with an open heart.

I am your Mother, the Mystical Rose, Queen of Peace.

Give good testimony when you leave here.

With love I bless you and keep you in my heart.
