Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary into Heaven
The Feast of Joy
"Beloved children, contemplate me today in the light of my glorified body,
assumed into the glory of paradise. The Most Holy and Divine Trinity
reflects in me the spendor of its power and of its greatest glory.
All the heavenly spirits leap for joy as they celebrate with hymns of
exultation and prostrate themselves in an act of profound veneration for
her who has been constituted their Queen.
As they see me at the side of my Son with my glorified body, surrounded
with splendor and beauty, the bands of saints experience an increase in
blessedness, at the thought that one day their bodies also, at present
decomposed, will follow on in glory to the bright destiny, reserved for now
only to your heavenly Mother.
Special comfort descends upon all the souls who are suffering in purgatory, in prayer and in pain, because, in the vision of my glorified body, their
purification becomes stronger and the desire to be united with me in the
glory of paradise becomes more ardent.
It is a consolation and sure hope for all the Church, still on pilgrimage
in the desert of this world, loaded down with sufferings and wounds, as it
contemplates me today, prays to me and calls upon me with fervor, that my
motherly presence might help it to journey with confidence toward the
heavenly fatherland.
But above all it gives great joy to you, my dearly beloved children, who
are living through the last times of the purification and the great
tribulation. The world has become a desert for lack of love and life.
Impurity is being spread everywhere through all the means of communication
and, with its wicked influence, it is bringing about the corruption and the
perversion of morals. Your body, a temple of the Spirit, is being degraded
and profaned. Sin is reducing you to a new and greater slavery.
Your heavenly Mother takes you by the hand and leads you along the bright,
beautiful, pure and holy roads which lead you to paradise.
Today is the feast of my Assumption, body and soul, into heaven. It is the
feast of light and grace, of beauty and purity, of love and life.
Today is the feast of joy.
The angels and saints in heaven rejoice.
All the souls who are being cleansed in purgatory rejoice.
The Church on earth which looks on me as a sign of consolation and sure
hope rejoices.
My poor, sinful, sick, wounded, wandering and despairing children rejoice.
Today is the feast of your joy.
You above all, my children, who are exposed to the very great sufferings
of these last times, you must rejoice and open your hearts to hope. The
Woman clothed in the sun is now on the point of attaining her greatest
victory, with the triumph of her Immaculate Heart in the world."
