First Saturday of the Month
The Times of Your Witness
"With this first Saturday of the month of May, you begin
the period of time which is set aside for my special veneration. In this month of May, I want you to be more completely
united with me, so that I may cause you to grow in your life
of consecration, to the point of full maturity. The times of
your maturity have come.
These are the times of your witness.
Give to all the witness of being consecrated to me. Your life must
be illumined by my motherly presence and you must spread
about you the charism of my holiness, of my purity, of my
mercy, of my charity, of my tenderness. Whoever sees you
must see the power of my light; whoever meets you must find
the sweet balm of my mercy. Give my help to those who are
far away, to the poor, to the sick, to the sinners, to the despairing. Come with me, your motherly shepherdess, in the search
of the many little sheep who have lost their way and are running the danger of dying of hunger and of cold.
Give to all the witness of walking with me along the road of faith.
In these times, errors are spreading in a way which is so vast
and profound that it is not possible for you to so much as imagine
it. Many are losing the faith and apostasy is expanding more
and more within the Church, like a terrible cancer which has
spread through all its members. You are being called to follow
me along the road of heroic and pure faith. I am making you
the gift of preserving you in the integrity of the faith, so that
you can illumine my children, in these times of great darkness. For this reason, I ask you to be strongly united with the
Pope who has, from Jesus, the great task of confirming all in
the truth of the Catholic faith.
Give to all the witness of walking with me along the road of prayer.
Prayer is the strength of the Church; prayer is necessary for
your salvation. Prayer, made together with me, can obtain for
you the gift of the Second Pentecost. Only with prayer can
you enter into the new era which awaits you. So then I invite
you to call everyone to prayer. Multiply the cenacles of prayer
which I have asked of you. I want you priests to be the first
to give the example of taking part in these cenacles. And then,
I ask that, in these decisive times, cenacles be spread among
the children, among the youth and in the families. The time
has come when all the Church must gather together with me
in prayer, in the spiritual cenacle of my Immaculate Heart.
Give to all the witness of walking with me along the road of holiness.
My Immaculate Heart must be honored and glorified by
the Church and by all humanity. For this reason, I want to
bring you to a great holiness. Thus, by means of you, little
children consecrated to me, the whole Church can become
illumined and transformed by the very holiness of your heavenly Mother. I am taking you along the road of perfect imitation of Jesus, of littleness and of humility, of disdain for the
world and for your own selves, of the heroic exercise of all
the virtues, and of a great love for the Most Holy Eucharist.
You are now in the decisive times , which are bringing you
to the new era. You are in my times. In these days of great
darkness, your light will shine forth with greater and greater
strength, to the point of surrounding with its rays and illumi-
nating souls, the Church, and all humanity."
