## Message of September 2, 1995, First Saturday of the Month
### Prado Nuevo (El Escorial)
**The Lord:**
My children, here I am to pour out graces upon you, but I also like grateful hearts. Be grateful, my children, for so very many graces as you have received in this place, and also let all of you who possess goods give thanks, because everything comes from the hand of God; but it is not because of yourselves, nor because of your efforts, because many of you who live well, my children, do not remember those who suffer, those who suffer from hunger and thirst and are naked.
You, my daughter, do not be distressed by those defamatory tongues; they are tongues that I will one day curse, because they care nothing for slander or lies. I said that works of love and mercy should be founded, and you are doing my will. Let nothing matter to you of what they say, my daughter; if they said of me that I was possessed by Beelzebub, and if I prayed they criticized me, and if I ate and drank they criticized me just the same, my daughter.
Those souls claim to give doctrine. What kind of doctrine and catechesis can be given by souls who are capable of defaming, slandering, and living in the world according to their own pleasures? They are like the pagans who neither enter Heaven nor let others enter. Let every one of those who defame this Work do the same as those who live in it have done…

**The Lord:**
Yes, my daughter, look: they talk, they talk, but they are not even capable of going to receive Penitence; they do not need sacraments. They talk about the sacraments but they do not practice them, my daughter. Look at what awaits the ungrateful souls who live according to their pleasures and according to the body, not according to the spirit. I will not listen to their laments or their tears, because their tears on that day will be the tears of professional mourners, and my ears will not listen to them.
Let nothing distress you, my daughter. I am the Almighty and the one who has asked you to found these works of love and mercy; and I have asked you for the best for the poor, and that is what you are doing, my daughter; you are giving the best to the poor. There is nothing hidden, my daughter, they can verify it.
Man believes himself to be powerful, and most of them are useless servants; they claim to love the Church without understanding the word of God; they say that my messages are catastrophic, but are they blind and deaf, my daughter? Do they not see that the world is full of catastrophes?
Oh, my children, how I love humble souls, not the vain ones who puff themselves up and lower me! They believe they have the power to do things; man sows and waters, but if I do not send the water and the Sun, the fruit cannot come forth. Then, how is man so proud and so ignorant to say that the messages are catastrophic? Therefore, the word of God—it is written!—is also catastrophic. Ignorant ones, you neither understand nor act, and you do not want to let those who do understand and act do so either!
Oh, mothers who prefer your daughters to be in the world in mortal sin, in the concupiscence of the flesh! Concupiscence does not matter to you, my children; you do not understand it. It does not matter to you that your children are in sin, nor do you worry about them, and when they feel the call of God it distresses you, and you want to drag them into where you are entangled, doing your own will, not the will of God.
How long are you going to keep offending these creatures who have left everything to give it to the poor? The path is open to you, do the same yourself. Do not do what the young man in the Gospel did, who, when I tell him to sell his goods and give them to the poor and follow me, does not listen to my words and does not walk by my side again, but wants to follow God without leaving anything behind. How ungrateful you are, my children, that many of you will neither save yourselves nor do you want others to be saved!
I teach men to love the Church; and priests to be in their ministry, to shepherd souls, not for many of them to be slaves to their passions, being more attracted to the world than to God. How are you going to teach a whole God what He has to say to His souls? I love my priests and, because I love them, I correct them; and the first thing I did, when I arrived before my Father, was to pray for all priests, so that they would be shepherds and not hirelings; and then I prayed for the world, so that the whole world would bend its knee before God its Creator. And what have you done, my children? As I told you: you have turned the world upside down; you do not see the impurities that are in the world. The sin of the flesh is invading the world, and the man who falls into lust, falls into all sins. Sin is not given importance, my children; that is why the world is in this situation.
Therefore, mothers who love your children so much, according to you—many of them—how is it that you do not watch over them so that they walk along the path of the Gospel? And how you worry when they find that path! I am neither a tyrant, as you say, like "What a God!" or "What a Mother, who threatens her children!". How many of you mothers are threatening your children, because you do not give them the freedom to live the path they have chosen? Oh, ungrateful ones, until when must an Almighty God give warnings to His creatures?!
You allow your children to be condemned along with you, and you are not good mothers when you do not care where your children are; it is when they happen to find God that you worry; that is what the henchmen of the Antichrist do: insinuate themselves into families, into friendships, to destroy souls. A mother wants the happiness of her children…
**The Virgin:**
And that is what I want, my children, your happiness. I rebuke my children, because I have told you many times how many mothers have rebuked your children over and over and over again, and seeing that your children enter the path of perdition you have said again: "My children, do you not see that you are losing yourselves, that God made Heaven and Hell?". And man forgets that Hell exists; he only thinks of going to Glory without works. All of you who do good works and all of you who are unpurified, come to my hands and deliver them to me, my children, and surrender yourselves, for I, with my pure and virginal hands, will purify you and your works and will deliver them to the Divine Majesty of God.
But do not be foolish, my children, and be like the prudent virgins; always keep your lamp lit, and for a lamp to shine it must be full of oil and fuel, my daughter; that is why the man who is without God and who claims to love God, and does not love his neighbor, does not keep the commandments.
Leave your children their freedom, that holy freedom to follow the path of the Gospel, and do not let your hearts be so ungrateful as to martyr your children because you are selfish and want them for yourselves. If every creature belongs to God and He touches each of the hearts, and takes and leaves what He wants, how are you going to place obstacles before God, my children?
Be all one, my children, and have a single heart to love those who need it, my children. Look at how many of those who appear to be good and fulfill the doctrine—look where they are, my daughter! They put on an appearance before men, but when they arrived before the Supreme Judge, He applied justice, because they had, my daughter, acted with nothing but words, and I could not apply my mercy. That is why they are in that place.
Oh, fathers and mothers of families, walk on the firm and secure path! Do not remain stuck in time and do not live falsely, appearing before others to be what you are not. Let married couples mutually respect one another; but woe to those who are unfaithful! The adulterer will not enter the Kingdom of Heaven. The world is invaded by the flesh, by the sins of impurity. I hate impurity, my daughter. I love pure hearts very much, but men today have become unbridled, they live in a wild state that nobody can restrain, my daughter; they have abandoned themselves and have stopped loving God their Creator. And the creature without God is hollow.
And the pharisees and hypocrites will not enter the Kingdom of Heaven either. And I exalt the humble and hide the powerful. A humble soul pleases my Son more than all the powerful ones on Earth.
Who are men to say to whom I must manifest myself? Is there no reason for a mother to manifest herself to her children seeing the situation of the world, to warn them of the great danger that is in it and to remind them of the Gospel? That is why I come down to Earth.
Because men change, remove, and put at their whim whatever pleases them. Woe to those who remove and put, it would be better for them not to have been born! Woe to those who distort the doctrine! When they present themselves before me I will say to them: "Depart from me, for you have distorted the word of my Son on Earth and you have dragged many souls toward perdition by your false doctrines! Go, accursed ones, into the eternal fire!". Those will be the words, and thus I say it and thus it will be fulfilled. Even though my Motherly Heart intercedes for all men, what about men who deny God? I do not accept those men who deny my Son.
Love the Church, my children, love the Pope; he suffers much seeing the situation in the world, and he suffers much because of those unfaithful shepherds who are disobedient to his words.
And you, my daughter, no matter what they say, do not be distressed; if you eat, they are going to talk, and if you fast, they are going to keep talking, my daughter. Let nothing matter to you except the Kingdom of Heaven and loving those in need. Everything is clean, it can be seen. Let nothing distress you, my daughter.
And all of you who have received graces in this place, bear witness to them, my children; and love the Church and confess your faults. Draw near to the sacrament of Penitence, which many of you do not do, my children.
> *Raise all objects; all will be blessed with special blessings for the poor dying…*
I bless you, my children, as the Father blesses you through the Son and with the Holy Spirit.
