Appearance of Saint Michael the Archangel on December 16, 2025


I see a large golden ball of light hovering above us in the sky and a smaller golden ball of light to its right. A beautiful light descends upon us and the large golden ball of light opens up and Saint Michael the Archangel descends upon us. He is dressed in white and gold and wears a red general's cloak with a golden lion's head clasp. Saint Michael the Archangel wears a princely crown on his head, adorned with an oval ruby at the front. He holds his sword up to the sky and I see that he is wearing golden Roman sandals. In his left hand he carries his shield, which he now holds out towards us. On his shield I see his prayer written in Latin, and this is an invitation for us to pray, and we pray:

Sancte Michael Arachángele, defénde nos in práelio, contra nequítiam et insídias diáboli esto praesídium. Imperet illi Deus, súpplices deprecámur: tuque, Princeps milítiae caeléstis, sátanam aliósque spíritus malignos, qui ad perditiónem animárum pervagántur in mundo, divína virtúte in inférnum detrúde. Amen.

The Holy Archangel Michael speaks to us:

“May God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit bless you. Amen.”

Now he lowers his sword and I see the engraved inscription on his sword “Deus Semper Vincit”. The Holy Archangel Michael continues to speak to us:

“My friends, pray hard, pray hard for peace! I am the Holy Archangel Michael. It is the will of the Lord that I come to you from His throne to give you the Lord's instruction.”

Now I see a map at the feet of Saint Michael the Archangel. Saint Michael the Archangel draws an area on this map with his sword, namely a part of Germany that extends into Austria, as well as a part of Austria and a part of France, and a part of Italy is also included. Saint Michael the Archangel says:

It is important that you pray for peace, implore peace! Mitigate the coming judgment through your repentance, through your penance, through your prayer, through your conversion, through the celebration of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. The judgment will come, and it is up to you to mitigate it. Form a sea of praying hearts for peace in the world! Pray the Rosary for peace! Just look how my Lord and your Savior is waiting for you in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass! You are certainly living in a time of tribulation, a time of great trial, when the adversary is revealing himself. But the grace of my Lord is greater! Those who live in sanctifying grace will be able to endure all this without fear. Do not be misled, the time of destruction is passing. But the time of holiness, your holiness of heart, you will take with you into eternity! Therefore, support one another in prayer and be fearless. I have come to you for your protection. I have seen that you pray from your hearts. I will accompany those who call on me for protection! Arm yourselves with the love of God, arm yourselves with prayer, live in the sacraments of my Lord, and you will be prepared for anything! Go where you find Catholic life, leave everything else behind and pray for those who have fallen into error."

Now the smaller ball of light opens and Saint Joan of Arc emerges from the light in golden armor with the Vulgate and kneels before the Archangel Michael. The Vulgate is already open and lies on a cushion of white roses. I see the open Bible passage. It is the third chapter of the Book of Isaiah 3 (Isa. 3):

1 For behold, the Lord God of hosts is taking away from Jerusalem and Judah every support and prop, every support with bread and every support with water: 2 the hero and warrior, the judge and prophet, the diviner and elder, 3 the leader of fifty, the respected man, the counselor, the wise magician, and the skilled enchanter. 4 I will make young boys their leaders, and reckless men will rule over them. 5 Then the people will oppress one another, and each will oppress his neighbor. The young will be insolent to the old, / the lowly to the honored. 6 Then one will seize his brother in his father's house: You have a cloak, / be our spokesman / and this heap of ruins shall be under your authority! 7 But he will raise his voice on that day: / I am no surgeon, and in my house there is no bread / and no cloak. Do not make me the spokesman of the people! 8 Yes, Jerusalem has fallen and Judah has fallen; / for their words and their deeds were directed against the LORD, / to defy the eyes of his glory. 9 The expression on their faces accused them, / and like Sodom they made their sin known, they did not hide it. Woe to them, for they have brought evil upon themselves. 10 Say: The righteous are happy, for they will eat the fruit of their deeds. 11 Woe to the wicked, for they will be punished for what their hands have done. 12 My people—their leaders were exploiters, and women ruled over them. My people, those who guided you led you astray and confused the path of your ways. 13 The LORD stands ready for trial; he stands to judge the peoples. 14 The LORD will enter into judgment with the elders and leaders of his people: “You have destroyed the vineyard; what was taken from the poor is in your houses. 15 How can you crush my people? You grind the faces of the poor,” says the Lord GOD of hosts. 16 The LORD said, “Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, they walk with outstretched necks and seductive eyes, mincing along as they go, making a tinkling with their ankles, 17 the Lord will make the scalps of the daughters of Zion scabby, and the LORD will make their temples bald.” 18 On that day the Lord will take away the finery: the anklets, the small suns and moons, 19 the earrings and bracelets, the veils 20 and turbans, the anklets and the splendid belts, the perfume bottles and the amulets, 21 the finger rings and nose rings, 22 the festive dresses and cloaks, the shawls and purses, 23 the mirrors, the fine veils, the scarves, and head coverings. 24 Thus it shall be: instead of balm there shall be rot, / instead of a belt a rope, instead of artful curls a bald head, instead of a festive dress a belted sack, / a brand instead of beauty. 25 Your men shall fall by the sword, / your young warriors in battle. 26 Then their gates shall lament and mourn, / she shall sit alone on the ground.

Now Saint Joan of Arc turns to us and says:

"Beloved friends of the Cross, love holiness, the Lord, and the Mother of God, Mary! Do not pursue all teachings. Everything that is perishable will pass away, and everything that is from the Lord will give you holiness and bring you to heaven. In your final hour, all your prayers, all your Holy Masses, will be balm for your soul, and the angels and saints will escort you to heaven! How wonderful it is to know Jesus! What a grace for you! It is up to you to remain steadfast in this time, to pray for all those who have strayed from the faith and for peace in the world. The conversion of hearts to God will bring peace, the turning away from sin. Just look, the Lord loves you infinitely! You cannot measure how wonderful the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is. I want to give holiness to all countries if they call on me in prayer. God has his plan, always remember that. Nothing happens just like that. The adversary will not prevail, for he has already lost through the victory of the Lord on the cross! The love of Jesus triumphs! The Lord gives His grace to the unworthy so that people may recognize His works, that they do not come from man, but from Him alone; for what is foolish is right with God. Begin the new year in prayer and pray for peace! Consider the words I have given you in the name of the Lord."

The Holy Archangel Michael speaks to us:

"Have you prepared yourselves for the coming of the Lord through the sacrament of reconciliation? Holy Confession is the sacrament that brings you to heaven! There, in this sacrament, lives the Lord, the King of Mercy. The sacrament of Holy Confession is an act of infinite mercy from my Lord and your Savior! Do not be afraid, overcome your old Adam and you will be washed by the Precious Blood of my Lord through this Holy Sacrament! Those who confess reverently will come out of this sacrament with a radiant white robe. Did not Saint Padre Pio tell you that he is waiting for you in all the confessionals of the world? Do not give away this grace! Quis ut Deus!"

The Holy Archangel Michael blesses us with his sword as he takes his leave:

“May God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit bless you!”

I thank him with all my heart, and the Holy Archangel Michael and Saint Joan of Arc return to the light and disappear.
