✞ If the soul suffers distractions at Communion, it is a sign that she has not given herself completely to God.
This afternoon Mother appeared all dressed in white; the mantle wrapped around her was huge and very light blue in color. The same mantle also covered her head, on which was a crown of twelve stars. Mother had her arms open as a sign of welcome. In her right hand was a long white holy rosary, as if made out of light, which went down almost to her feet that were bare and rested on the world, on which scenes of violence could be seen. Mother slowly slid her mantle over the world.
May Jesus Christ be praised.
“Dear children, thank you that today you are again here in my blessed woods.
Children, I love you, I love you immensely, and if I am here it is because I want to save you all.
My children, hard times await you, dark and painful times, but do not fear. Hold out your hands to me and I will take you and lead you on the right path. Do not harden your hearts: open your hearts to me. My heart is open; look, daughter... "
At this point, Mother showed me her heart crowned with thorns and told me:
“My heart is pierced with pain by all those children whom I invite to follow me, but who, alas, turn their backs on me. Enter into my heart!"
I began to hear Mother's heart starting to beat loudly - louder and louder.
“My children, my heart beats for each one of you, it beats for everyone.
Little children, today I again invite you to pray for the Church - not only for the universal church, but also for your local church. Pray, my children, pray.
Children, if I am still here it is by the infinite mercy of God: every month* you experience a moment of grace, which you do not always receive with joy.
My children, please continue to form prayer Cenacles: again I invite you to pray the Holy Rosary in your homes. Please, children, perfume your homes with prayer."
Then Mother passed among the pilgrims and gave her blessing.
In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
