        Excerpt from front of Blue Book I.

It is in acceptance of all that is before you that you grow in your relationship with me. Do not try to throw back the opportunity for grace you receive.

Child, I am ever by your side and I am ever teaching you. Accept all things as happening from Him Who loves you. Know that My hand is in everything you are experiencing. I am vigilant and by your side. Nothing happens to you that I have not consented to.

- Jesus' words to the receiver

From a funeral of Fr. Joe's

Wisdom 3: 1-9

But the souls of the upright are in the hands of God,
and no torment can touch them.
To the unenlightened, they appeared to die,
their departure was regarded as disaster,
their leaving us like annihilation;
but they are at peace.
If, as it seemed to us, they suffered punishment,
their hope was rich with immortality;
slight was their correction, great will their blessings be.
God was putting them to the test
and has proved them worthy to be with him;
he has tested them like gold in a furnace,
and accepted them as a perfect burnt offering.
At their time of visitation, they will shine out;
as sparks run through the stubble, so will they.
They will judge nations, rule over peoples,
and the Lord will be their king for ever.
Those who trust in him will understand the truth,
those who are faithful will live with him in love;
for grace and mercy await his holy ones,
and he intervenes on behalf of his chosen.

R. 100 Years before Christ

Greeks were running the whole Mediterranean Region

The Greeks insisted that people do what they wanted.

The Jews believed in one God –
    they were being persecuted and killed –
    This is significant because they were
        being persecuted for their religion and
        they were asking
        why do good people suffer?

    In view of foolish they seem to be
        dead, but they are not –

    They thought a fool was somebody
        that didn't believe in God.

Dorothy suffered. Fr. Joe went and visited her –
    My friend Fr. Lammeier became more and more
    sick and Fr. Joe couldn't get away to visit
    the sick as much.

Dorothy was devout and very close to God –

Many here are not Catholic, so why are we
    having this Mass.

We are having the Mass because of Dorothy.

2 Timothy 4: 6-8

As for me, my life is already being poured away as a libation, and the time has come for me to depart. I have fought the good fight to the end; I have run the race to the finish; I have kept the faith; all there is to come for me now is the crown of uprightness which the Lord, the upright judge, will give to me on that Day; and not only to me but to all those who have longed for his appearing.

R. Paul was anticipating his life was ended –
    He says I fought the good fight –

    This is like Dorothy, Dorothy fought the good fight.

John 14: 1-7

        Do not let your hearts be troubled.
        You trust in God, trust also in me.
        In my Father’s house
            there are many places to live in;
        otherwise I would have told you.
        I am going now to prepare a place for you,
        and after I have gone
            and prepared you a place,
        I shall return to take you to myself,
        so that you may be with me
        where I am.
        You know the way
            to the place where I am going.

        Thomas said, ‘Lord, we do not know where you are going, so how can we know the way?’ Jesus said:

            I am the Way; I am Truth and Life.
        No one can come to the Father
            except through me.
        If you know me,
            you will know my Father too.
        From this moment you know him
            and have seen him.

R. In the Gospel:

Jesus knew he would be tortured and
    arrested -
    The apostles were arguing –
        who was most important –

    Jesus said "Do not let your hearts
        be troubled
        Have faith in God
        Have faith in Me –

        I am going to get a place ready for
            you" –

        Jesus did this for Dorothy – He
            took her to Himself –

This good bye is only temporary –

Let's pray for each other – we will all
    have a turn to be where
    Dorothy is.

Fr. Joe ends with a story – he took his uncle
    out to lunch at 85 – his uncle said
    I have about 10 more years to live –
    and he lived until 96. We never know
    when the end will be. No more sickness,
    wars, etc. – Let's pray for each other.

                R. Dear Heavenly Father I offer You this day
                all my prayers, works, joys and
                sufferings, my every heart beat in
                union with the Holy Sacrifice of the
                Mass around the world,
                so one with Jesus, in the Holy Spirit with
                all the angels and saints and the souls
                in purgatory. I pray for the priests,
                the Church and the world.

Today is the day the Lord has made, let
us rejoice and be glad in it.

Let the heavens sing and the earth be glad
a Savior is born to us.

                Oh God the Father thank You for the gift of Your Son,
                Jesus. Thank You for the Mass, the Sacrifice of
                Calvary sacramentally made present.

                Dear God I offer all I do, all day
                united to the Mass for the special
                intentions I now say –

                    What a gift it is to be able to go to Mass
                and to receive Jesus, truly present in the
                Eucharist. I long for Thee, my God.
                I thirst to receive Thee. I desire to
                be so united to You all day in everything
                I do.

                    Come to me Lord and possess my soul.
                Come into my heart and open my heart
                to Your presence and Your love.

                    A day without the Mass is a day
                of great suffering. Help us always to
                have holy priests. Help men to answer
                the call You give them to be holy priests.
                We pray for vocations of men to the
                priesthood.

                    We pray for vocations to the married life,
                to be holy, to have holy families, to
                realize God has called married men
                and women to their vocation and to
                be faithful to their vocation to God.

                    We pray for sisters and brothers in
                religious life to be the faithful spouse
                of Jesus. To live their vocation and
                to take it seriously, to say 'yes' to
                their vocation like Mary our Mother
                taught us to say 'yes' – call – response.

                    We pray for others who have been
                widowed and those in the single life
                to live their vocation as God has
                called them, being faithful and holy.

                    God has a plan for us. God has
                called us to a vocation in life. The
                fourth commandment tells us that
                children are to be obedient to their
                parents and parents are to live
                this vocation of being a parent
                according to how God wants them
                to be.

                    Dear God we are thankful for
                Your gifts to us. We are thankful
                for life and our calling in life to
                serve You and love You and witness
                to You in our vocation – please
                give us grace to live our vocation in
                love. To be obedient to You and Your
                commandments to us and to be faithful
                to our call in life.

                    Dear God we love You so much.
                We are sorry for our sins and the
                sins of the human race. Dear God
                outpour Your grace upon us and
                the Church and the world for men
                to live according to Your holy will –
                Dear God help us.

                    We pray the Blood of Jesus is
                spread on us, our families and the
                whole Church and the whole world.

                    We cast the devil into the fires of
                hell. We ask for a special outpouring
                of the Holy Spirit on us, our families, the
                Shepherds of Christ, the Church and the world.

                    We consecrate the human race to the
                Sacred Heart and Immaculate Heart
                in as far as we are able. We
                consecrate the Church to the Sacred
                Heart and Immaculate Heart
                in as far as we are able.

                    We pray that men make Jesus
                the King and Center of their
                hearts and their lives.

                    Please send holy priests into
                the harvest. We beg for Your help
                God. We are the poor banished
                children of Adam and Eve. Please help us.

God tells us in the Word to Rejoice –

                God would not tell us to rejoice if
                    He did not want our hearts to
                    be happy –

What do we need to be happy?

                We need to have God as our goal.
                We need to live the Father's will in
                    love –

                We need to respond to the call
                    God gives us in our vocation
                    and live our vocation
                    faithfully.

Rejoice in the Lord always –

We can control our own happiness
by how we look at life –

An attitude of gratitude.

                Dwelling in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary –
                    Fr. Carter called, our little heaven
                    on earth –

We are to live in the present moment.

                God created us to love – to love
                    Him first and love our neighbor
                    as ourselves –

                We need to work through unforgiveness
                    in our hearts –
                    forgiving even our parents
                    who may have died –

We need to be kind and compassionate
to others –

"Do unto others as you would
have them do unto you"

We need to make our requests known
to God, St. Paul says.

We pray that we live the Good News.

Pray to know God deeply in our
hearts –

Pray to know our place – to live
under God –

                Pray for peace in accepting and
                    loving the vocation God
                    calls us to –

Pray for a loving attitude –

Pray to reverence God –

                Hold the gifts God has given to
                    us as sacred –
                    life is sacred –

                The priest is to be respected –
                The Holy Gospel - respected –
                The Church is such a gift from God.

We need to respect and reverence God
and obey His holy will for us –

We cling to God –

God is our Maser, Master of the Universe –

Let us lift our eyes to God –

                Let us seek the plan of the
                heavenly Father and love
                Him with our whole heart,
                    our whole soul and our
                    whole being –

Love unites our hearts –

                Love of God and others according to
                    God's will brings peace and joy
                    to the heart.

                    God calls us to be in joy in
                pain and suffering. Jesus showed
                us in the human condition we
                would suffer.

From the Priestly Newsletter 1995 - March/April

Reflections on Suffering

All of the above provides an occasion to offer various reflections on suffering:

The great tragedy concerning human suffering is not that there is so much of it. The real tragedy is that apparently so much of it is wasted. So much of it apparently is not coped with according to God’s will.

Suffering can beautifully expand or bitterly constrict the personality. It is our choice which prevails.

A willingness to suffer for a cause must accompany any true commitment.

A persistent suffering is the necessity of bearing with our limitations.

The fear of suffering is, for some people, one of the greatest crosses.

True love, in any of its forms, must be experienced against the background of the cross. Jesus has very vividly shown us this. Strange, then, that at times we can strive to develop another pattern of loving.

The suffering that is presently the most necessary for us is the one we can most consistently refuse.

Happiness cannot be achieved without a proper encounter with suffering. This is a basic premise of the Christian message. It would seem, then, that we would eagerly embrace the cross. Yet how often is this the case?

Being misunderstood by others precisely because we are striving to do God’s will is a not uncommon suffering.

To have to unavoidably hurt others can cause the sensitive person a suffering greater than the one he or she is inflicting.

There is a part of us that does not want to surrender to God. This struggle between the true self and the false self produces a unique type of suffering which is persistently present, often in milder degrees, but occasionally with an intensity that pierces very suddenly and very sharply.

It is not necessarily those who suffer the most who are the holiest. We grow in holiness through suffering—whatever its degree—to the extent we encounter it in loving conformity to God’s will.

The boredom that can grow out of daily routine, the frequent occasions which try one’s patience, ordinary episodes of failure, minor annoyances of various kinds, anxieties—these and other forms of the daily cross do not, taken separately, require a Christian response of heroic proportions. But in their cumulative effect over a long period of time, such occasions offer us the opportunity of becoming love-inspired Christians to an eminent degree.

There is nothing in the Christian teaching of the cross that says we cannot pray for relief from our sufferings.

To want to flee suffering is an un-christian attitude. So also is the attempt to make suffering an end in itself. The Christ-event did not end on Calvary.

“Then to all he said: ‘If anyone wants to be a follower of mine, let him renounce himself and take up his cross every day and follow me.’” (Lk 9: 23). end of excerpt

                R. We pray to live as God wants us
                to live, being fruit for that
                time in our lives when God
                has put us here on earth –

                    Sufferings are redemptive –
                we must learn to live as God wants
                us to live – in His timing – in
                His way.

Most Sacred Heart of Jesus
we put our trust in Thee

               R. Do we think solutions depend on us? We need to
                surrender and live as the Father wills us to do.
                When we think everything depends on us – the
                devil is at work trying to get a person puffed
                up and not trusting God and those God wants
                us to trust and work with –

                    We must learn to surrender to God's might –
                to turn our lives and our wills over to God.
                Dear God, please help us – we surrender to
                    You –

Prayer for Union with Jesus

Come to me, Lord, and possess my soul. Come into my heart and permeate my soul. Help me to sit in silence with You and let You work in my heart.

    I am Yours to possess. I am Yours to use. I want to be selfless and only exist in You. Help me to spoon out all that is me and be an empty vessel ready to be filled by You. Help me to die to myself and live only for You. Use me as You will. Let me never draw my attention back to myself. I only want to operate as You do, dwelling within me.

    I am Yours, Lord. I want to have my life in You. I want to do the will of the Father. Give me the strength to put aside the world and let You operate my very being. Help me to act as You desire. Strengthen me against the distractions of the devil to take me from Your work.

    When I worry, I have taken my focus off of You and placed it on myself. Help me not to give in to the promptings of others to change what in my heart You are making very clear to me. I worship You, I adore You and I love You. Come and dwell in me now.

-God's Blue Book, January 17, 1994

                R. God sends guides into our lives to help us with
                spiritual guidance. A person may be ready to go to
                the doctor or dentist at the slightest problem and
                yet when it is so important we grow spiritually
                and change bad habits we can decide not to
                trust anyone – when God is sending spiritual
                guides to us in writings like the Daily Messages
                and Blue Books.

                    Why is it so important to some, they never
                want to thank God how He has helped them
                in the Shepherds of Christ with these writings.
                How offending it must be to give so much and
                to not be shown gratitude for such a gift.

                    We need to focus on changing from those ways
                not likened to Jesus. We can see ourselves like
                the wise old owl in the tree – thinking we
                are perfect and sizing everybody else up.

                    We need to listen to Jesus and pray to the
                Holy Spirit to help us to have the gift of knowledge
                to see ourselves and where we need to change
                to grow to be more and more in the image of
                Jesus.

                    Isn't that what Christmas is all about –
                Giving ourselves on this journey to others and
                learning to be disciples of Jesus. It is pride
                to think we know it all and don't need
                each other. It is pride to think we are
                perfect and wear a mask or think we
                arrived and everybody should see how
                good we are. If we are good it is because
                of God's grace – God wants to help us move
                to be more perfected like our heavenly Father
                is perfect. The person who thinks they are
                perfect is not even trying to change.

                    A person that is hurting others and trying
                to prove they are right when they are wrong has
                to be on guard all the time trying to prove
                themselves, wearing a mask before others.

                    A person accepting their faults and
                living in the truth doesn't have to be
                like this – keyed up to prove they are perfect
                before men. They want to make others feel
                guilty for their behavior –

                    It is best to be honest with ourselves and
                others. Then we can improve where we
                need to improve. Our focus is on the truth.
                We need to have a person we can show ourselves
                to in honesty – so we can see that mirroring
                effect. Even though we aren't perfect,
                even though we think differently – if we
                honestly show ourselves to a significant
                other – we see that they still love us and
                accept us and it can help us grow in
                intimate love and love of oneself –

                    The devil can have a field day with a person
                who thinks they can only depend on themselves.
                We need to look at ourselves, examine our
                conscience, ask ourselves what our
                motives are for our actions – I want to
                improve – to grow in loving ways – to
                help build unity and friendship – to work
                to help in the building of the Kingdom of God –

                    We want to have peace with ourselves,
                know ourselves, love ourselves and
                accept ourselves fault and all truthfully –
                not wear a mask and never let anyone
                really see us and help us to grow in the
                spiritual life.

                    Yesterday I put on Fr. Lammeier's funeral
                homily. Fr. Lammeier would always say, when you
                left, be nice!

                    Dear God help us to be positive thinkers –
                to live to have peace – Help this to be a
                great day – be with me in everything I do.
                Help me God, walk with me. Isn't
                it great to be alive! Thank You God
                for my life, for my breath, for my
                health and heartbeat. God please be with me, now.
                I thank You God for every good thing in my
                life –

                    A man can carry around his negative
                thinking – it is this that keeps him from peace –
                Dear God help my mind to be at peace and for
                me to have an attitude of gratitude.

Romans 12: 2

Do not model your behaviour on the contemporary world, but let the renewing of your minds transform you, so that you may discern for yourselves what is the will of God—what is good and acceptable and mature.

                R. To be happy we must change our
                negative thoughts – not be addicted
                to negative thinking and stay stuck!

                These bad patterns can start in infancy and
                we need God's help and grace to be positive
                thinkers.

Romans 12: 2

Do not model your behaviour on the contemporary world, but let the renewing of your minds transform you, so that you may discern for yourselves what is the will of God—what is good and acceptable and mature.

R. Dear God help me to empty my mind –
so You can fill me with peace!

                Dear God help me to let go of bitterness
                    and unforgiveness and hates and
                    fears –

Positive - imaging!

Christmas is a time of peace and love –

R. See the sky

R. Happy a happiness habit!

Put happy thoughts and prayers in your

This is the day which Yahweh has made,
a day for us to rejoice and be glad.

R. Positive Imagine

The moon –

A beautiful sunset

R. Dear God help me

Matthew 11: 28

‘Come to me, all you who labour and are overburdened, and I will give you rest.

John 14: 27

Peace I bequeath to you, my own peace I give you, a peace which the world cannot give, this is my gift to you.

Philippians 4: 13

There is nothing I cannot do in the One who strengthens me.

R. I can do my work for God!

God is real!

God is with me!

                Dear God help me to work on the solution
                    to problems, Help me to be calm –
                    Pray to the Holy Spirit to help give
                    wisdom and counsel –
                    Believe God will hear the prayer and help.
                    Most Sacred Heart of Jesus I place my
                        trust in Thee –

We control our minds –

Dear God heal me of giving in nervous
energy that takes me from Your Plan.

John 10: 11-15

I am the good shepherd:
the good shepherd lays down his life
   for his sheep.
The hired man,
   since he is not the shepherd
and the sheep do not belong to him,
abandons the sheep
as soon as he sees a wolf coming,
   and runs away,
and then the wolf attacks
   and scatters the sheep;
he runs away
   because he is only a hired man
and has no concern for the sheep.
I am the good shepherd;
I know my own
and my own know me,
just as the Father knows me
and I know the Father;
and I lay down my life for my sheep.

1 John 3: 22 - 4: 6

and whatever we ask
we shall receive from him,
because we keep his commandments
and do what is acceptable to him.
His commandment is this,
that we should believe
   in the name of his Son Jesus Christ
and that we should love one another
as he commanded us.
Whoever keeps his commandments
remains in God, and God in him.
And this is the proof
   that he remains in us:
the Spirit that he has given us.

Third condition:
to be on guard against Antichrists
and against the world

My dear friends,
not every spirit is to be trusted,
but test the spirits
   to see whether they are from God,
for many false prophets
   are at large in the world.
This is the proof of the spirit of God:
any spirit
   which acknowledges Jesus Christ,
      come in human nature,
is from God,
and no spirit
   which fails to acknowledge Jesus
is from God;
it is the spirit of Antichrist,
whose coming you have heard of;
he is already at large in the world.
Children, you are from God
and have overcome them,
because he who is in you
is greater than he who is in the world.
They are from the world,
and therefore the world
   inspires what they say,
and listens to them.
We are from God;
whoever recognises God listens to us;
anyone who is not from God
   refuses to listen to us.
This is how we can distinguish
the spirit of truth
   from the spirit of falsehood.

R. We are to test the spirits to see if they are
from God –

R. Mary is Mother of God

Mary is Our Mother

John 19: 25-27

Jesus and his mother

Near the cross of Jesus stood his mother and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary of Magdala. Seeing his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing near her, Jesus said to his mother, ‘Woman, this is your son.’ Then to the disciple he said, ‘This is your mother.’ And from that hour the disciple took her into his home.

Sing: Are Not Our Hearts Burning Within Us

June 6, 2015 - Eve of Precious Body and Blood of Jesus

Month of the Sacred Heart

R. See high, see low –

See as you desire –

Our eyes are a wonderful gift given
to us from God –

We can open our eyes or close our
eyes –

                We can look straight ahead –
                    look high or
                    look low –

We can see with our eyes –

We can scan the scene from
right to left –

We can focus on trying to see the
big picture with our eyes –

                    We can drive a car and see with
                        other cars moving how to
                        go in union with them.

                We can watch a play at the theater
                but if it is boring we can close our
                    eyes and go to sleep.

We can watch the Mass and see
the priest –

What we see can make us cry –
What we see can help lead us to action –

What we see can help take us from danger
What we see can lead us to a new endeavor –

We can see a new born baby –

We can see a person laid out in a coffin –

We can read and learn with our eyes –

Were not our eyes a gift given to us
by God –

Last night Mary appeared to me in the
Virgin Mary building on the 5th –

                    She appeared in the deepest –
                    brightest light I cannot describe or
                        compare to any light I know –

it was beyond and

It's depth and intensity of light –

I cannot describe

                    She was beautiful and seeing her
                        face before me, in the mystical
                        was –

alive and different – it did not
remain the same –

                        She had given me messages –
                            prior to this intense apparition
                            of celestial beauty – I cannot
                            begin to describe

The messages will be transcribed and
published –

                        But then she appeared and she did
                            not speak at all –
                            It was the vision –

The vision of intensity – I was so

wrapped in it and could not
say to lead the Hail Marys –

                    My physical abilities were
                        numbed as I was enveloped
                        in her vision before me –

the light beyond description –

the depth so deep and so very

real –

the lady as she was encased in

this celestial aura was

deep in that heavenly vision

a Mother alive in celestial
light –

                            in the front of the depth while
                                the light was never exhausted –
                                behind and around her

                A light it seemed deeper than the
                    ocean and farther than any
                    sea –

solid and bright with a light
unknown to me

And her beauty in celestial surroundings,

her beauty mystical – beyond anything
I have ever seen –

No breath or depth – no high or low,
no light can be a measure for

the opening to this window of

celestial beauty –

Forever – Forever – God tells us of
heaven –

A foreverness was this vision like
the scripture

1 Corinthians 2:9

"What no eye has seen and no ear has heard, what the mind of man cannot visualise; all that God has prepared for those who love him;"

R. Did you ever see the sun dance on

the ocean, or a sun dressed
body of water –

There is movement – like nothing
else you know –

                When she appeared this vision is
                    not static or like what we
                    see with regard its movement –

                    I see no movement
                    It is –
                    Ever changing, beauteous and without

a beginning or an end to what
I am seeing –

                    It is, I see no change, but it
                        is alive in beauty and
                        different entirely that I am
                        drawn into it and almost unable
                        to talk, to use my physical
                        things –

I am in the intensity of this apparition –
in it and it is and it has

depth and light and beauty and is

alive –

I can't describe it at all –

                If I can see the sun dancing on a
                    body of endless water, can I
                    tell you of it so you can enjoy
                    the experience and try to describe
                    the movement, the light, the
                    depth – the sky that meets
                    way out in beautiful blue
                    against the silver waters dancing
                    in radiant light –

                You may identify with what you
                    have seen of this and enjoy it
                    with me, but

                The vision of Mary –
                the living appearance of her –
                    the light –

                    the Virgin Mother as she showed
                        herself in a celestial way
                        to me –

I cannot even find anything to
identify this with and

                    Yet it was so real –
                        so beautiful –
                        so that it captivated me deeply

to be enthralled in it –

I cannot describe

But I know more of eternity –

                    that with depth and breath
                    we do not know or
                    comprehend –

We are blind to the celestial reward,
relationship with God in intense

purity and unity – eternally –

We are on earth and we measure with

our spoons and ounces, we see

with eyes veiled

And God is beyond and other and

yet He has given us Jesus Christ in

the Eucharist to come to us

and feed the sharing in His life

we have from baptism –

If He spoke now – He would say

reach – reach and reach –
go out and spread the Good News –

                    Man is so stilted in his ways
                    and he can be so bolted to the
                    earth, but we were created
                    in the image and likeness of God –

created to reach to the heights –

to dig deeply into the Mystery –

to know that the unseen is real –

to not be stifled because we

stand in a cement sidewalk

wrapped in the beauty of our

own footprint –

The footprints we follow are

those of the Son of God for we

were created in His

image and likeness

The seen and the unseen –

Do we see at all beyond
our eyes –

the Mystery of God –

the Mystery of Jesus –

the Mystery of the Incarnation

the Mystery of the sacramental
life of the Church –

the Mystery of Jesus truly present

Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity

in the Eucharist

Reach – Reach – Reach –

See the unseen –

Dig deep into the Heart of Jesus

Beg for the Holy Spirit to fill us with

His gifts to see, to

understand, to know,

to love, to be holy,

to fear God and to be

full of wisdom and council –

This is relationship of us –

human creatures with

the Divine God –

This is about the gift of baptism –

The sharing in Divine Life –

This is about being nurtured

with the Bread of Life

the Eucharist and His Word –

This is about the unseen and

the seen –

This is about preparing ourselves

for the goal of eternal

happiness –

Seeing God face to face –

Being wrapped in the beatific vision –

My people this is about Mary

appearing in the Virgin Mary building

and showing me last night –

her beauty that I cannot

even describe and

when she appeared that

way – she said nothing –

she just took me into

this beauty and I behold her

and what she showed

me and

in the end

R. How can I

draw

this?

We are earthly and

He is heavenly and

                        yet He wants to reveal
                            secrets of Himself to
                            us and have an intimate
                            relationship with us –

                Mary wants a personal relationship
                    with us –
                    She is our spiritual Mother –

Open your eyes and your hearts to
God and to our Mother at Our Side

Excerpt from The Spirituality of Fatima

by Fr. Edward Carter, S.J.

July 13, 1917

    "During her appearance in July, Our Lady, in answer to Lucia's plea, promised that in October she would work a great miracle so that all might believe and know who she was. Again, the Mother of God told the children to sacrifice themselves for sinners and to say many times, especially when making a sacrifice, this prayer: "O my Jesus, I offer this for love of Thee, for the conversion of poor sinners, and in reparation for all the sins committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary." ⁽¹¹⁾

    "During this same July apparition, Mary showed the three children a vision of Hell. She told them:

    "You have seen Hell, where the souls of poor sinners go. To save them, God wishes to establish, in the world, devotion to my Immaculate Heart. If people do what I tell you, many souls will be saved and there will be peace.

    "The war (World War I, then raging) is going to end. But if people do not stop offending God, another and worse one will begin in the reign of Pius XI. When you shall see a night illuminated by an unknown light [January 2, 1938], know that this is the great sign that God gives you that He is going to punish the world for its many crimes by means of war, hunger, and persecution of the Church and the Holy Father. ⁽¹²⁾

    "To prevent this, I shall come to ask for the consecration of Russia to my Immaculate Heart and the Communion of Reparation on the five first Saturdays. If my requests are granted, Russia will be converted and there will be peace. If not, she will scatter her errors throughout the world, provoking wars and persecutions of the Church. The good will be martyred, the Holy Father will have much to suffer, and various nations will be destroyed....

    "But in the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph, the Holy Father will consecrate Russia to me, Russia will be converted, and a certain period of peace will be granted to the world." ⁽¹³⁾
