San Lorenzo de El Escorial
The Virgin:
My daughter, you are going to face many trials in this world. Offer yourself as a victim in reparation for souls. Several bishops pay no heed to my calls; they want to destroy this. Be wise as serpents and innocent as doves. Several pastors, my daughter, because of their life of impiety and neglect of prayer, are working towards their own damnation. Make sacrifices for the Vicar of Christ. The Vicar is in great danger. Make sacrifices; poor Vicar!, he is going to suffer a lot, my daughter. I will be with him at the very last moment.
Great calamities will come upon Humanity. Great earthquakes; entire cities will be destroyed. What a pity for these souls! Many pastors of the Church have become hirelings. What a pity for these souls! They are on the brink of the abyss! They will pay for all the souls they drag into the abyss. They make the Church a den of thieves and of sin.
Do not allow yourself to be admitted; you will receive very hard trials. They will not believe; they do not want to listen to me; they pay no attention. How I pity those souls! They do not want to accept our words.
Do not be afraid, go to that appointment. I will be with you. Be very humble at all times. They will try to destroy everything; but with me being with you, do not be afraid. The chalice of pain is running out. Everyone who calls themselves a child of God, let them not deny my Son. Whoever denies my Son, the angels will deny them. How many antichrists there are among humans, who want to take possession of souls!
Many priests, because of their bad life, because of their lack of piety, drag many souls daily to the bottom of the abyss. May they pray; may they not abandon themselves; may they repent. I love them all, for they are all my children, may they change their lives!
How pleased I was with the life of Saint Teresa!: her constant prayers and her penance for the salvation of souls. Few convents live by their own rule. There are convents that offend God and live in relaxation. Some convents are not houses of prayer, but houses of recreation. What have they done with their rules? The flowers of those convents are wilting. May they pray more and think more of God.
The moment is approaching when the Son of Man will not bring peace to men, but war among humans. War is already here: fathers against sons, daughter-in-law against mother-in-law... The end of times is approaching and Humanity wants to know nothing about it. They go sowing sin upon sin and crimes everywhere. They themselves are rushing headlong into the bottom of the abyss.
Be prepared, for at any moment God may send His angels, just as a thief enters without warning.
Consider that for us, the soul is more important than the body. Consider that the Kingdom of God is very near, and the Son of God will come on a cloud to render to each according to their deeds.
Be humble. With humility you can attain Heaven. To reach Heaven, one must take up the cross and follow my Son. More and more, thousands upon thousands of souls are plunging into the abyss.
Ask the Eternal Father. Never think that the Eternal Father is a tyrant; He is a merciful Father, but at the same time He is a severe Judge. I am constantly giving proofs to Humanity. Consider that the enemy is at the four corners of the Earth. The enemy is lying in wait to take possession of souls.
With humility and sacrifice you will save yourselves, my children. Pay visits to the Blessed Sacrament; Jesus is waiting for you. Receive all trials with humility.
This world is full of envy and impurities. Do not be "Cains", be like Abel. Do not offer God the worst fruits of your harvest; offer the best. Be lilies. Take refuge upon my Heart. I do not want you to be damned; I want to save you. What sadness my Heart feels when a child of mine plunges into the abyss! You are a mother. If one of your seven children were to plunge to the bottom of the abyss, what profound pain you would feel! Think of my Mother's Heart, what profound pain it feels when thousands of its children are condemned for all eternity by their own free will! Daily they reject me. Consider that my Son is burdened with a cross without rest, to save ungrateful Humanity. Seconds are left for the destruction of several nations. They pay no heed. I want you to make sacrifice and prayer.
Do not fall asleep, my daughter; while you sleep, souls are being condemned. Make sacrifice and prayer. I will be with you. Be strong. You will receive many trials on account of all those who call themselves pastors of the Church, who do not want to listen to our voice. But think: with God being with you, of whom can you be afraid? Think that the enemy will never be able to destroy the things of God. Great punishments will come. The enemy will wage a war in the air with atomic weapons. How many bodies will fly through the air and skin will peel off those bodies! Thousands of eyes will see it and still they will not believe.
Planet Earth is on the point of being destroyed. With prayers and sacrifices, how many souls can be saved! Many souls are condemned because no one prays for them. Speak of God and spread your Mother's messages throughout the whole world.
Russia is the scourge of all Humanity; pray that it converts. It will want to destroy Humanity with atomic devices. With your prayers and your sacrifices, it can convert. You will receive your reward for your sacrifices. Remember that God said that whoever saves souls will save their own. You must not be afraid; press forward with humility.
Be apostles of the end times. You have to help many souls that are in great danger.
Look at my Heart, my daughter; it does not have a single "tiny spot" without thorns. What pain it feels for all its children without distinction of races! You cannot touch it; not even a single soul is purified. Offer your pains for consecrated souls; I love them so much!, but how poorly they return my love... (Luz Amparo cries and tries to touch the Heart of the Virgin). You cannot touch it, my daughter; do not touch it, for they are very deep. How my Heart bleeds!
Write another name, my daughter. There are twenty-three names written in the Book of Life. These names will never be erased... Kiss the Book, my daughter…
Drink from the chalice of pain, my daughter; it is running out... It is bitter, my daughter; this bitterness is what my Heart feels upon seeing that Humanity pays no heed to my warnings. When the chalice is drained, the Punishment will come upon the Earth. Be humble and do not abandon yourselves.
I give you my holy blessing, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Humility I ask of you, my children.
Goodbye.
