Message of August 2, 1997, first Saturday of the month
Prado Nuevo (El Escorial)
The Virgin: Here I am, my daughter, as Queen and Lady of all men. I am the source of all creation, outside the unity of the Most Holy Trinity. I am the spark that God wants to enlighten hearts. I am the Queen of Heaven. I am the bridge for men to draw closer to the Church. And this is what I come to say to men, and what I have been telling them for so many, many years: that my Immaculate Heart will be the one to reign over humanity; that they must not forget that I am the Mother of God, Co-redemptrix with Christ, and Mother of all men. Men want to push me aside; they do not know that it is the hour of Mary. Why are men so obstinate and insist on making me disappear? How can a mother not warn her children about the situation of the world and the danger that lurks before them?
The Lord: Ah, my children! Come out of the darkness, those of you who are trapped by it, and come into the light, for the light was made to enlighten the darkness, not the darkness to enlighten the light. Only a soul in darkness cannot discern the fruits. Hold on to the good fruits, my children, and do not cause discord and sow slander in many places. He who is not against me is with me. Why do you not take advantage of all the good fruits?
My daughter, do not suffer from slander or contempt. This is from God, and what is from God, no one can tear down. Persecution and slander are the most certain seal that this Work is from God, my daughter. Only the blind, who live in darkness, do not want to open their eyes to see the light. But, my daughter, be faithful to the "yes" you gave, and the more persecution and the more slander, the more certain God's seal is.
Love one another. Pray, my children, do penance and sacrifice for poor sinners. Love the Church very much. Love the Holy Father. Everyone who loves the Church, as Christ loved her, is persecuted, and many are condemned to death, my children. Do not lose heart, my children, let your faith be firm and your charity profound, and let no one... daughter... (Luz Amparo shows surprise). Yes, my daughter, yes, that is how the children of darkness dedicate themselves to destroying the works of God: going from one place to another sowing discord and weeds. But men must be strong, and he who has God has nothing to fear. I hate lies, deceit, and slander. I am your refuge. And those who persecute you today will one day be with you.
Pray, my children, and do penance and sacrifice, for men have forgotten that penance and sacrifice are what can repair the sins of humanity. And you, priests, those of you who are faithful witnesses of the Gospel, be firm and courageous; convert souls and pray much, so that religious men and women may form fresh and lush gardens in the convents, and not lose courage. Let those who are strong ground themselves in Christ and through Christ, and not lose heart. From your hiding places, my daughters, you can save many souls with your prayer and your sacrifice. Do not grow lethargic, my daughters, pray and sacrifice yourselves for poor sinners. The spirit is kept strong through prayer, my children. Without prayer, your action...
Luz Amparo: (She sees many praying) Oh! So many!
The Lord: They move their lips, yes, my daughter, but the prayer does not come from their heart. It is a poor prayer, but even so, I gather it; I gather it and apply it for poor sinners. But look at the prayer that comes from the heart, my daughter, look at the fruit it has. How many souls have come to see the Divine Majesty of God through well-made and profound prayer! The world is in need of prayer and penance. I have said everything, and I have warned everyone. What more words can I say, my children? Do not turn a deaf ear, and listen to my message.
The Virgin: Come to this place, my children, for you will receive many graces for your poor souls. Poor sinners! Come to my Heart and take refuge in it, for I will lead you to the Heart of Christ, and Christ to the Heart of the Father, and all together you will make your dwelling in them. Kiss the ground, my daughter, in reparation for so many offenses committed against my Heart, and contempt, my daughter... Love one another, my children. The unity of the children of God... that unity is so beautiful, my children! Raise up all the objects; they will all be blessed for poor sinners... All have been blessed. I bless you, my children, as the Father blesses you through the Son and with the Holy Spirit.
