Apparition of the Infant Jesus, King of Mercy in Sievernich, Germany

A large golden ball of light floats above us, accompanied by seven smaller balls of light. The large golden ball of light opens, and a beautiful light descends upon us. The King of Mercy comes to us in the form of the Infant of Prague: He is wearing His large golden royal crown with a cross of rubies on top; He has black-brown, short curly hair, and blue eyes. In His right hand He holds His large golden scepter, and in His left hand the Vulgate, the Holy Scriptures. The King of Mercy is clothed in a dark blue robe and a gold brocade mantle with reddish floral tendrils woven into it. Here, the gold brocade is more elaborately worked into the mantle of the Heavenly King than the reddish floral tendrils. Now the smaller balls of light open up and seven holy angels in radiant white robes emerge from them. They take up the royal cloak and spread it out over us, and we are all sheltered beneath it, including the people far away who are thinking of the King of Mercy. From the spread-out royal cloak, many small golden flames, about 10 cm in size, float down toward us, and I see them floating off into the distance as well. The holy angels then lay the royal mantle down again and kneel before the King of Mercy. The King of Mercy says to us:

In the name of the Father and the Son—it is I—and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

The King of Mercy comes closer to us and hovers over the children. He says:

How much I rejoice over the children who seek Me with their hearts! Behold, I also come to you as a child, because your hearts are dear to Me and I hear every prayer of yours!

The King of Mercy takes His golden scepter and inclines it toward the children, makes the sign of the cross, and says:

Respect the hearts of the children and make your hearts like theirs! Look into the Holy Scriptures; that is God’s Word. There you will also see and read how much I love the children. In the Holy Scriptures you will also find the youth, the young man who fled in the Garden of Gethsemane, who was clothed only in a linen cloth. This was the evangelist Mark.

([Personal note from Manuela]: Gospel of Mark, see Mark 14:51–52. This text can only be found there).
The Lord points out to me that it is not mentioned in Holy Scripture that this young man was the Evangelist Mark.

Once walls protected you from all attacks. Behold, during tribulation, it will be trust in God, My Father, that protects you, and prayer to the Precious Blood shall be your refuge. Whoever trusts in Me, I will protect. Trust no earthly savior; place all your trust in My Most Sacred Heart!

I see His Heart, pulsing with life upon His chest, with a flame above the Heart and a cross. The Heavenly King speaks:

In the past, walls protected you—the walls of fortresses—but in the last days, this protection will be the trust you have in Me. Therefore, live in Me, in the Holy Sacraments of My Church, in sanctifying grace, and I will guide you through this time – through all the plagues and the chastisements that are to come. It is not for you to know the times, but I am with you and warn you and tell you what you must do. But those who do not seek conversion and repentance toward Me reject grace. Pray for them!

Now the Vulgate, the Holy Scriptures, opens in the hand of the King of Mercy, and I see in it the passage from the Book of Isaiah: 26:1 – 27:1.

On that day this song shall be sung in the land of Judah: ‘A strong city have we;
he sets up victory as our walls and ramparts.
Open up the gates
that a righteous nation may enter,
one that keeps faith.
With firm purpose you maintain peace;
in peace, because of our trust in you.’
Trust in the Lord forever!
For the Lord is an eternal Rock.
He humbles those who dwell on high,
the lofty city he brings down,
Brings it down to the ground,
levels it to the dust.
The feet of the needy trample on it—
the feet of the poor.
The way of the just is smooth;
the path of the just you make level.
The course of your judgments, Lord, we await;
your name and your memory are the desire of our souls.
My soul yearns for you at night,
yes, my spirit within me seeks you at dawn;
When your judgment comes upon the earth,
the world’s inhabitants learn justice.
The wicked, when spared, do not learn justice;
in an upright land they act perversely,
and do not see the majesty of the Lord.
Lord, your hand is raised high,
but they do not perceive it;
Let them be put to shame when they see your zeal for your people:
let the fire prepared for your enemies consume them.
Lord, you will decree peace for us,
for you have accomplished all we have done.
Lord, our God, lords other than you have ruled us;
only because of you can we call upon your name.
Dead they are, they cannot live,
shades that cannot rise;
Indeed, you have punished and destroyed them,
and wiped out all memory of them.
You have increased the nation, Lord,
you have increased the nation, have added to your glory,
you have extended far all the boundaries of the land.
Lord, oppressed by your punishment,
we cried out in anguish under your discipline.
As a woman about to give birth
writhes and cries out in pain,
so were we before you, Lord.
We conceived and writhed in pain,
giving birth only to wind;
Salvation we have not achieved for the earth,
no inhabitants for the world were born.
But your dead shall live, their corpses shall rise!
Awake and sing, you who lie in the dust!
For your dew is a dew of light,
and you cause the land of shades to give birth.
Go, my people, enter your chambers,
and close the doors behind you;
Hide yourselves for a brief moment,
until the wrath is past.
See, the Lord goes forth from his place,
to punish the wickedness of the earth’s inhabitants;
The earth will reveal the blood shed upon it,
and no longer conceal the slain.

CHAPTER 27
The Lord will punish with his sword
that is cruel, great, and strong,
Leviathan the fleeing serpent,
Leviathan the coiled serpent;
he will slay the dragon in the sea.

You know that the chastisements are coming to purify the hearts of men, because they reject grace and prefer sin. Remain true to Me and listen to My words. You can mitigate the chastisements through your conversion, your repentance, and your penance, and through your prayer—remember this! Remain faithful to the teaching of My Holy Church and see what a song of victory I have given you today from Holy Scripture. Do not only read about the end times in the Book of Revelation; you will also find instructions regarding the end times in the Old Testament. Yet do not be afraid, for I am with you and will remain with you!

The King of Mercy asks us to pray the following prayer, and we pray:

O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell. Lead all souls to Heaven, especially those who are most in need of Your mercy. King of Mercy, grant us the grace of holiness and healing; pour the grace of peace into all hearts. Amen.

Behold, I have sent you the Holy Spirit, the Comforter, who surrounds your hearts. Be without fear! He will guide you. Pray for peace; do not let up in prayer! Walk the path of My mercy, of My golden scepter [symbol of Christ’s mercy in these messages]. I have not come in order to allow you to be lost. I remind you that you can accept My love. Remember that the Holy Spirit could come to you only because I died for you on the Cross and redeemed you through My Precious Blood. Be merciful also to your neighbor! Today I give you the task of forgiving those who weigh heavily on your hearts, and I look into your hearts. I ask you to be reconciled with Me in Holy Confession, in the Sacrament of Reconciliation! Farewell!

M[anuela].:

Farewell, Lord!

The King of Mercy tells me that He is praying for us with His angels.
M.:

Thank You from the bottom of my heart.

The King of Mercy takes His leave with a silent blessing, and I answer,

Amen.

Then He goes back into the light with the angels, and they all disappear.
