✞ The three weapons to defeat disturbance.
Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth,” for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” Revelation 21:1-10
My beloved John, you can still see me in your heart and spirit as the first time I came to you at St. Vincent De Paul in San Antonio, Texas. It was several decades ago that I asked you to come to Me. In your own manner, you ran to find me and were disappointed when you couldn’t see Me again. You went inside the Church looking for me and were a little confused as to what was taking place spiritually at this time. This was the start of your spiritual journey seeking answers to your life and purpose. I had always protected you and been at your side through the many trials and tribulations you have experienced. At that time, you were not ready and were as green as a sapling. Now you have matured as the Holy Spirit and My Mother has taken you aside and taught you holy spiritual things of the past, present and future events. You have been prepared and are now ready to be my Disciple and preach My Gospel to the four corners of the world. Upon repenting and seeing Me, you found your purpose in life.
I have prepared the fruit of the Harvest. Now you are ready. You are coming into a revival of love and peace. You are called to preach; you are called to teach. You are called to speak in every street corner and every place where you will have the opportunity to share My Love to My children. I have Chosen you and thousands of other faithful for service — to join and proclaim the Gospel.
My Words will penetrate the hearts of unbelievers, and they will get My attention. They will repent again and give themselves to Me. They will see me through you as special signs have come upon you. Miracles have come to you as the Holy Spirit has guided you. There is much skepticism and many unbelievers as the darkness of evil has taken a stronghold over my children. My children have embraced the sins of this world as they have turned their face away from Me. Wherever you go or are invited, I will manifest Myself among my children. I know their pain and suffering and their confusion as they encounter the lies and deception of Lucifer. I will heal their spiritual and physical suffering as they lovingly surrender their spirits to Me.
The outpouring of My Holy Spirit is coming before, during and after the Warning.
I am pleased with the place that you and My Chosen ones are preparing in the Holy Family Apostolic Teaching Sanctuary. Many are sitting on the fence and thinking with their minds and not their hearts. This will be a Holy Place and a Gateway to Heaven. It is Mine and I will be glorified as my people are being prepared for the darkness of evil that awaits mankind. The battle will not be easy, but the triumph of the Immaculate Heart of My Mother will prevail. The storm is quickly approaching.
Many of my chosen ones will contact you seeking spiritual guidance to accomplish the task I have given you.
DO NOT BE AFRAID FOR I AM WITH YOU.
THE GATES OF HELL WILL NOT PREVAIL AGAINST MY FAITHFUL CHILDREN
Jesus says, "In my Father's house are many mansions;
if it were not so, I would have told you.
I go to prepare a place for you." John 14:2-3
I said to myself… “Oh... Oh... where did I go wrong.”? I entered an enormous, large red cavern. Fear came over me and I was told to look down. On the sand someone had printed the name JESUS and peace came unto me. As I continued, I witnessed the horrific damnation of souls in hell. Again, fear came over me and I was told to look to the side of a cliff, and I saw the carving of the name JESUS, and peace again came over me. I then witnessed the great battle that was going to take place in the future between good and evil. There was so much blood raising up and almost covering those in the battle.
I cried out and called the name JESUS. In an instant, I was standing in a very beautiful peaceful valley, and Jesus was standing in front of me dressed as the Sacred Heart. He spoke and told me to trust Him and that He loved me and not to worry. I could hear His voice, but His lips were not moving. He told me to look up and I saw this beautiful City made of crystal. It was so beautiful and truly beyond words to express what I was being shown. He then told me that this was the New Jerusalem where He would reign. He reached out to me and told me to extend my hand. I did and the city shrank to the size of a walnut. He then took this City of Crystal and placed it in my hand.
Vision Continues: Jesus was showing me God’s Gift to His faithful servants. This is waiting for us!
I did not want to leave but I was being pulled back to the real world and Our Lady was speaking to me: “Your mission from Almighty God the Father has not been completed, My son. You have been given the grace for these times to help prepare My children for what is coming to mankind, and God’s Mercy will cleanse the earth of all darkness and the evil of sin. My Son Jesus will destroy Lucifer and send him to eternal damnation in hell.
Paradise will be restored as my faithful enter the “Era of Peace”. Every faithful servant that has been chosen will be rejoicing and praising Almighty God. Everyone, regardless of their religion, will be praying the Rosary and be in harmony with each other in the presence of the Holy Trinity. Millions will join you in preaching and teaching about My Son Jesus. His Message of love will be heard to the four corners of the earth.
Millions will go through the Chastisement and Tribulation and will not die. They will enter the New Jerusalem that has been prepared for my children. My Immaculate Heart has triumphed. Paradise will come and restore the Creation of God that was given to Adam and Eve.
You have seen and been inside this when I took you inside the large (invisible to the naked eye) refuge in Texas. The Holy Spirit and I have already prepared many refugees throughout the world.
God created mankind to love and to be with Him for all eternity”
The New Jerusalem is the greatest fulfillment of God's promises and the eternal home of the faithful. The New Jerusalem is the forever presence of Almighty God. The Holy City, the new Jerusalem is coming down from heaven as our gift from God. It is the place where God will dwell with His people continually and the citizens of this celestial city will have all their tears wiped away. [Revelation 21:4]
The New Jerusalem is described in the Scripture as a holy city that comes down from heaven after the final judgment. It means God's dwelling with humanity, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. The New Jerusalem represents a new, innocent existence where God resides with His people.
“But unto us God revealed them through the Spirit: for the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. For who among men knows the things of a man, except the spirit of the man, which is in him? Even so the things of God no one knows, except the Spirit of God”. 1 Corinthians 2:10-11.
Most of you know that I studied in the seminary for 4 years as I was studying to become an Ordained Permanent Deacon. I was led to write on the Origin of our Holy Roman Catholic Apostolic Church, my studies included not only teachings by professors, but also, we were required to research and learn deeply about our Catholic Church as part of our training. I loved the research and received extremely fruitful historical knowledge of who we are as Roman Catholics. We didn’t have internet at that time, so my research was done at St. Mary’s University library in San Antonio, Texas.
A new world of understanding opened my heart and love for our precious Catholic Church. In time I discovered that most baptized Catholics do not have the knowledge or appreciation of the Gift given to us by Jesus and His Apostles. I researched this gift to share with you and explain to all that read our Reflections and Messages an understanding of the blessing given to us by God. The information that I am sharing is from various Catholic articles, especially from Catholic.org and other Catholic material sites.

One of the most profound teachings of the Catholic Church, and one that distinguishes it from many Protestant denominations, is the belief in the real presence of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist. According to Catholic teaching, during the celebration of the Mass, the bread and wine become the actual Body and Blood of Jesus Christ through the process of transubstantiation.
This belief is rooted in Jesus' own words at the Last Supper:
"This is my body, which is given for you; do this in remembrance of me." (Luke 22:19)
The Eucharist is the "source and summit" of Catholic life, as it is the fullest expression of communion with Christ. By receiving the Body and Blood of Christ in the Eucharist, Catholics believe they are united with Jesus in a deeply intimate way, and they are spiritually nourished to live out their Christian mission in the world.
The Catholic Church, founded by Jesus Christ through Saint Peter, stands on the firm foundation of both Scripture and Tradition, carrying forward the teachings of Christ for over two millennia. The Church compiled the Bible, provided the continuity of apostolic leadership through the papacy, and has faithfully guarded the profound mysteries of the faith, including the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist.
While Protestantism did not emerge until the 1500s, the Catholic Church remains connected to the original apostolic foundation laid by Jesus Himself. For Catholics, the real presence of Jesus in the Eucharist, the authority of the Pope, and the sacredness of the Scriptures all stem from the Church that Christ instituted for the salvation of souls. This legacy continues today, inviting all believers into a deeper relationship with Christ through the Church He established.

"Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you."
John 6:53
For Catholics, the Eucharist is not merely symbolic but a sacrament in which Christ becomes physically present under the appearance of bread and wine. The real presence of Christ in the Eucharist is a mystery of faith that Catholics believe is based on Jesus' own promise. The Church teaches that when the priest, acting in the person of Christ, pronounces the words of consecration during the Mass, the substance of the bread and wine is transformed, even though their appearance remains unchanged.
"Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit
As it was in the beginning is now, and ever shall be,
world without end. Amen"
