Children, Walk with Me

This afternoon, the Virgin Mary appeared, all dressed in white. The mantle wrapped around her was also white and broad, and the same mantle covered her head as well. On her head, she had a crown of twelve shining stars. Mother was enveloped in a great light. Her hands were clasped in prayer, and in her hands she was holding a long holy rosary, white as light, and a small flame that was burning. The rosary went almost down to her feet. Her feet were bare and were placed on the world. The world was partly covered by a gray cloud, but some parts were luminous. The Virgin Mary’s face was sad and concerned.

May Jesus Christ be praised.

Dear children, thank you for having responded to and accepted this call of mine. Children, walk with me, walk in my light, live in the light. Children, today I again invite you all to conversion and prayer. Children, today I unite myself to your prayer. I pray with you and for you. Prayer must be your strength, especially in times of trial and despondency. Children, pray with your heart and not [just] with your lips.

Mother bowed her head and paused in silence.

My children, today I again ask you to pray for my beloved Church and for Christian unity. Pray much for the Pope and for the Bishops, that they would be faithful custodians of the truth and sure guides of the People of God. Pray that the Church may remain faithful to her mission of proclaiming the Gospel and being the light and salt of the earth. Pray, children, pray that the Church would remain faithful to the authentic Magisterium. Children, I love you and take care of each of you with love, but especially of those who suffer for their faith. Alas, there are many in the world who not only suffer for their faith, but even give their lives to bear witness to that faith. Pray for the conversion of all sinners and for those who have not yet known God’s love; pray that they may experience His love and His mercy.

At this point the Virgin Mary said to me:

Daughter, pray with me!

We prayed together for a long time, and while praying with the Virgin Mary, I had a vision of the Church. After the vision, Mother resumed the message.

Children, preserve and guard this place [the apparition site at Zaro di Ischia. Translator’s note.] so dear to me. Take care of it: this is a place of prayer and peace, where I bring you messages of love and hope by the Will of the Father. I am here by His infinite Mercy. Guard its beauty, so that it would continue to be a refuge for pilgrims and a place of meeting with me and with my Son Jesus.

At this point, Mother took the little flame she had in her hands and placed it on her heart. Mother’s heart began to beat strongly, and shortly afterwards, rays of light came out from her heart, illuminating the entire forest and touching some of the pilgrims present. In conclusion, she blessed everyone. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
