✞ Love and union between Creator and creature.
This afternoon Mother appeared as the Mother and Queen of all Peoples.
Mother was sad, tears were coming down her face. She had on a pinkish dress and a large blue-green mantle that enveloped her and also covered her head. On her head was a queen's crown and in her hands, a half-opened scroll (un rotolo mezzo spiegato) and a long Holy Rosary, white, made of light, that went almost all the way down to her feet. Her feet were bare and were resting on the world.
May Jesus Christ be praised
"My dear children, thank you for having responded in numbers to this call of mine.
Little children, seeing you here in numbers fills my heart with joy.
Thank you children, thank you. The world needs prayer and each one of you is called to prayer.
Little children, it is some time now that I have been pre-announcing hard times to you; behold, the times are at the door and, alas, you are not all ready. Many of you, despite my repeated requests, still do not pray, and if you do, you do not do so with the heart but with the lips.
Little children, today too I tell you: - be ready, do not be caught unprepared - the times are near, they are at the gates, and you are still losing yourselves in futile things?
Dearly beloved children, I am your Mother, I am the Mother of each one of you and my greatest desire is that you should be saved.
Unfortunately, many of you are here out of curiosity, but I love you equally and I invite you to prayer and conversion. Repent, before it is too late! The enemy is lurking and wants to drag you into sin and perdition, in order to distance you from grace and from my love. Confess, confession is the sacrament that reconciles you with God and frees you from evil.
Learn to pause in silence before the tabernacle, because it is in silence that God speaks. "
At this point a brilliant light appeared on Mother's right side, from which St Michael the Archangel emerged. He was dressed as a great leader; in his right hand he had a long spear and in his left a set of scales; above this were white doves and a big black bird[*] was circling around in order to take the doves. Saint Michael raised the spear, without striking it, and the bird went away.
Mother resumed, saying:
"Pray to Saint Michael the Archangel for Italy's protection." I started to see the earth shaking ..... (especially southern Italy). "My children, do not panic, I am here to save you and not to destroy you, I am the Mother of Mercy and Queen of all peoples, I am here for each one of you, I caress you and touch you."
Mother prayed over those present and especially over the sick.
"My children, do not be discouraged at the trials that are given to you, but pray and trust in God."
Finally Mother blessed everyone. In the name of the Father, of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
