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."
