A Californian Soul – The Last Message

Sadly we lost another visionary this month.  The following was posted by Mark Mallette on Countdown to the Kingdom: 

The one whom we have cited here numerous times as A Californian Soul passed away this week. Before I share with you the last message he left us, here is his story again: 

Around 1997, a man and a woman in California, who were living together in a life of sin, had a profound conversion through Divine Mercy. The wife had been prompted interiorly to start a rosary group after experiencing her first Divine Mercy novena. Seven months later, a statue of Our Lady of the Immaculate Heart in their home began to weep oil profusely (later, other sacred statues and images began oozing fragrant oil while a crucifix and statue of St. Pio bled. One of those images is now hanging in the Marian Center located at the Divine Mercy Shrine in Massachusetts. Because these images began to attract many people to their home in the beginning, their spiritual director agreed that they remain anonymous). This miracle led them to repent of their living situation and enter a sacramental marriage.

About six years later, the man began audibly hearing the voice of Jesus (what are called “locutions”). He had next to no catechesis or understanding of the Catholic Faith, so the voice of Jesus both alarmed and entranced him. Even though some of the Lord’s words were of warning, he described Jesus’ voice as always beautiful and gentle. He also received a visitation from St. Pio and locutions from St. Thérèse de Lisieux, St. Catherine of Siena, St. Michael the Archangel and dozens of locutions from Our Lady while in front of the Blessed Sacrament. After conveying two years of messages and secrets (known only to this man and to be announced at a future time known only to the Lord) the locutions stopped. Jesus told the man, “I will cease speaking to you now, but My Mother will continue to lead you.” The couple felt called to start a cenacle of the Marian Movement of Priests where they would meditate on the messages of Our Lady to Fr. Stefano Gobbi . It was two years into these cenacles that the words of Jesus came true: Our Lady began to lead him, but in the most remarkable way. During the cenacles, and on other occasions, this man would see “in the air” in front of him the numbers of messages from the so-called “Blue Book,” the collection of the revelations Our Lady gave to Fr. Stefano Gobbi , “To the Priests Our Lady’s Beloved Sons.” Both the husband and wife suffer greatly for their ministry, but continually offer it to the Lord for the salvation of souls. It is noteworthy that this man does not read the Blue Book to this day (as his education is very limited and he has a reading disability). Over the years, these numbers that materialized would confirm on countless occasions the spontaneous conversations in their cenacles, and now today, the events taking place around the world. Fr. Gobbi’s messages did not fail but are now finding their fulfillment in real-time.

About three weeks before he passed away, this Californian soul was hospitalized and on the brink of death. Every morning when he awoke, he saw the Blessed Mother standing at the foot of his bed, silently smiling and praying for him. Then, after spending nearly a week in the hospital and near death, his wife and friends were sitting with him praying the Divine Mercy Chaplet at the three-o-clock hour. Suddenly, he opened his eyes and turned his head toward the Divine Mercy image by his bedside.

At the moment they began praying the Chaplet, he experienced what we call an “illumination of conscience.” He saw his entire life revealed before him, the good and the bad, as though he were experiencing what Fr. Gobbi’s messages call a “judgment in miniature.”^[1] He saw every venial sin in his life and each mortal sin. He also saw the good things he had done. But the hardest part, he said, was when the Lord showed him what his life could have been should he have chosen righteous paths. In the end, however, he felt nothing but Christ’s indescribable love and mercy. He called for a priest and made a heartfelt confession.

Unexpectedly, he became well enough to go home a couple of days later. It was apparent to both him and his wife why: he needed to reconcile with his brothers and forgive the wounds his father gave him when he was a young boy. His brothers came to visit. They embraced and exchanged brotherly love through the bonds of forgivness… because what is impossible for man is possible for God.

During these last few weeks, the statue of Our Lady in their home wept copiously several times. In fact, so moved were the hospice workers who came to take care of him, that they have undergone a conversion and even healing in a broken marriage.

Then, on November 14th, 2021, our Californian soul passed away. His wife said he suffocated to death like Our Lord, in silence and without complaining.

As his wife recounted all these things to me, I thought to myself how his passing was the final message Our Lady was to give through this Californian soul. How the illumination of conscience he experienced was a warning and gift to the rest of us — that we need to prepare now for this grace that Heaven has said through other seers, is coming soon:

My beloved children, I ask you to be ready, because the Warning is very near. Many will return to God, even those who do not believe, especially priests who do not believe everything that you are experiencing at this time. Some will find a way to distort what will have been seen (in the Warning) and will not want to admit that God can do everything, and at that moment they will have made their choice. —Our Lady to Gisella Cardia, August 23rd, 2021

You are coming closer to the Warning… The expected events prior to the Warning may occur within the space of a few days.—Our Lord to Luz de Maria, November 14th, 2021

My children, I ask you to have a pure heart: rid it of hatred and resentment, and make weekly confession; be ready, because the Warning is about to occur.  —Our Lady to Gisella Cardia, November 6th

And just this week,

How many are waiting for the Warning without consciously reviewing their lives — every detail, act and deed they have committed with or without consent, in order to seek Divine Forgiveness and prepare themselves for the time of the Warning? The Warning is the greatest act of Divine Mercy for this generation, during which you see yourselves in a particular way, when you will experience the value of your actions or omissions. The Warning will be the moment of Divine Mercy and Divine Recognition for those who have sacrificed themselves and who have chosen to belong to the Most Holy Trinity and Our Queen and Mother. Divine Mercy is not finished: it will give other opportunities to its children once the Warning has passed. —St. Michael the Archangel to Luz de Maria, November 14th, 2021

In closing, I wish to share part of the last Blue Book number that was given to this Californian soul. When I first read it a few weeks ago, before his illumination of conscience, I thought as others did who knew him: this was a message just for him. But then, after hearing of his last days, I turned to that Blue Book number again and this passage jumped out:

I am happy, too, at the generous scale on which you have answered me. You have said “yes” to my request for consecration; you have offered me the whole of your lives so that I am able to intervene freely to order them according to my plan, which is the Will of the Lord. Finally, I am also sorrowful because, as in the case of Jesus, so also for you: the mission which awaits you is that of suffering and of immolation. It is above all by means of this that I am able to offer to the Father, to the Son and to the Holy Spirit a great power of intercession and reparation, so that the golden door of Divine Mercy may be soon opened, and the greatest miracle of complete transformation of the world be accomplished. —Our Lady to Fr. Stefano Gobbi , February 2nd, 1985 (on the Feast of the Presentation of the Child Jesus)

You see, before re-reading this, I was led to a previous post on this website called The Warning: Truth or Fiction? And these words also stood out to me, which the message above confirms:

…St. Faustina experienced an illumination personally:

Once I was summoned to the judgment (seat) of God. I stood alone before the Lord. Jesus appeared such, as we know Him during His Passion. After a moment, His wounds disappeared, except for five, those in His hands, His feet, and His side. Suddenly I saw the complete condition of my soul as God sees it. I could clearly see all that is displeasing to God. I did not know, that even the smallest transgressions, will have to be accounted for. —Divine Mercy in My Soul, Diary, n. 36

And then she was shown the same light from these wounds appearing as a worldwide event:

All light in the heavens will be extinguished, and there will be great darkness over the whole earth. Then the sign of the cross will be seen in the sky, and from the openings where the hands and the feet of the Savior were nailed will come forth great lights which will light up the earth for a period of time. This will take place shortly before the last day. (n. 86)

In fact, could the Warning also be that literal “door of mercy” that precedes the Day of Justice?

He who refuses to pass through the door of My mercy must pass through the door of My justice. (n. 1146)

Yes, I think that is the last message this dear Californian soul left us. Well done, good and faithful servant.
