First Saturday of the Month and Feast of the Presentation of the Child Jesus in the Temple

The Road Which Leads to the New Era

"Contemplate me today in the mystery of the presentation of my divine Child in the Temple. With how much docility and filial abandonment does Jesus allow Himself to be carried in my motherly arms as, with my most chaste spouse, Joseph, I go up to the Temple of Jerusalem, to satisfy the precept of the holy Law of the Lord. I entrust the Child to the hands of the priest and thus He is offered to the Father as victim and sacrifice for our ransom.
Jesus enters into the glory of his Temple, as Light which illumines every man, for the salvation of all the nations.
The mystery, hidden from the eternal centuries in the secret of the Father, is manifested at this moment. Not to the great and the wise; not to the powerful and the clever; not to those who are first and to those who are more important. It is revealed to the little, to the poor, to the simple, to the least of all, to the pure of heart. And thus a simple woman and a poor old man, open to receive the gift of the Spirit, come to be the first to enter into the understanding of this great mystery.
'Now, 0 Lord, you let your servant depart in peace, because my eyes have beheld the Savior, a Light for revelation to the gentiles and glory of your people Israel.'
This is a mystery of love and of sorrow, of light and of darkness, of joy and of suffering, of death and of life. -'He will be set up as a sign of contradiction, for the salvation and the ruin of many.'
And I become intimately associated in the unfolding of this, his divine mission. -'And as for you, O Mother, a sword will pierce your soul.'
You too, my beloved ones and children consecrated to my Heart, you too must allow yourselves to be carried in my motherly arms. The time of your light and your witness has come. For this reason, I invite you all to enter into the temple of my Immaculate Heart. Here, you are offered to the glory of the Father; here, you become molded in imitation of the Son; here, you are transformed by the powerful work of the Holy Spirit. Your priestly immolation is necessary for the salvation of all peoples.
You have entered into the conclusive period of the great tribulation, and the hour of the great trial, of which I have been foretelling you for so many years, has now arrived for you. It is a trial so great and painful, that you cannot even imagine it, but it is necessary for the Church and for all humanity, in order that the new era, the new world, and the reconciliation of humanity with their Lord, may come upon you.
In these days, Jesus is working in a very powerful way in every part of the world, to carry out the plan of his merciful love. For the present, this plan is hidden and enclosed in the secret of his divine Heart. Today it is again being revealed only to the little, to the simple, to the poor, to the pure of heart. With these little ones, which He is gathering from every part of the earth, Jesus will soon restore his Reign of glory.
This is the road which teads to the new era.
Thus today, as you venerate me at the moment when I present the Child Jesus in the Temple of Jerusalem, I invite you to enter, each and all, into the spiritual temple of my Immaculate Heart, so that I can offer you to the glory of the Lord and I can form you in simplicity and littleness, in poverty and purity. Only thus can you yourselves become the road which leads to his reign and be a most powerful light which points out to all poor humanity the way which leads to the new times which await you."
