Message of May 2, 1987, first Saturday of the month
Prado Nuevo (El Escorial)
The Virgin:
My children: convert and repent; do not be hard-hearted to the many graces that my Son pours out upon you. Do not be traitors to His laws. Your thoughts must not be set on the world, because while you are in the world you cannot serve God, my children. Clothe yourselves with the new man, who was created in God’s likeness, in righteousness and holiness of the truth.
My Son has a purpose for all of you, but you must let Him, my children. My Son wants your thoughts and your hearts to be purified. Forget the world so that my Son can work in you. You do not belong to yourselves; you belong to Christ, and if you let my Son work in you, it will not be long before you see His glory, my children.
Do not place all your hope in human beings, because man, my children, is in darkness, since he has withdrawn from God. And if you place your hope in man, you will always be in darkness; seek the Light, which is Christ. And abiding in the Light, you will see what God has destined for you; but if you take refuge in man who is in darkness—and darkness is death—you will be dead to grace, my children.
So that my Son may work upon all of you, you must not be slaves to men. Love one another, as my Son teaches. Share your pure and holy love with the sorrowful, with the helpless, and with the needy, my children.
Luz Amparo:
Oh, oh, my Mother! What do you want of us, my Mother? Oh, and of me, what do you want? Oh, Mother!
The Virgin:
I want you, my daughter, to teach everyone to love the Church; I want men to go mad with love for the Church, my children. I went mad with love for her; and look, my daughter, how I loved the Church, that I gave Her my Son, so that He might pour out His Blood—pure, immaculate, and holy—for the forgiveness of men and so that He could deify them.
Luz Amparo:
Oh, my Mother, what greatness! What greatness it is to love the Church, my Mother! Oh...
The Virgin:
And I want you all to gather together to pray. I really like community prayer, my children. Pray, for by praying the evil one will not prevail against you.
Your thoughts must be fixed on God, my children; forget the earth, so that my Son may accomplish the purpose He has for all of you, my children. You must purify your thoughts and your hearts, and your bodies must be living and holy hosts for the work that my Son desires, my children.
I ask you for humility and charity, love, silence, chastity, fasting, in order to help souls, my children. Nourish your soul with prayer and sacrifice. Sacrifice strengthens the soul; that is why yours is feeble, my children, because you make little sacrifice.
I want unity among all of you. Be an example of holiness. Let my Son work in your hearts.
Do not fail, my children, not even for a single day, to pray the holy Rosary. Draw near to the Eucharist, my children, every day; you will receive strength. And to the sacrament of Penance.
You, my daughter, with humility will be able to make great progress. You already know that my Son loves you, and He has not prepared a path of roses for you, my daughter. First one must pass through the thorns and tear the flesh, my daughter, and the heart until it is torn to pieces, in order to then pass through the roses, my daughter. Everything ends here; eternity does not exist here. But eternity, my daughter...? It will all be sown with flowers. Suffer with humility, my daughter; make sacrifice and penance for souls; love the Church, love the Holy Father (JP II), my daughter; he is my Son’s representative on Earth; pray much for him, and love one another.
Kiss the ground, my daughter, in reparation for all the sins of the world...
Today you are going to write eight names in the Book of Life, my daughter. You see how suffering has value! With suffering you purify souls...
They will never be erased, my daughter, these names.
Luz Amparo:
Oh, what joy! Oh, Lord...! Oh, my Mother!
The Virgin:
Go from village to village, my children, speak of the Gospel. How many souls arrive at Christ’s fold, my children! And keep speaking of your Mother. I promise you that my Immaculate Heart will not abandon you, my children, because it will be the one to reign over all Humanity. Work for the glory of Christ, and you will receive many graces, my children, here on Earth, and my Son will have a good place prepared for you up there in Heaven, my children.
You already know, my daughter, that my Son gives you a hundredfold.
Love my Son dearly; visit Him in the tabernacle, my children; do not abandon Him. Imitate your Mother of Heaven, who has not left Him alone for a single moment. Love our Hearts, and our Hearts will protect you. But do not place your hope in men, for you only place your hope in men, my children. You already know what I have told you: that almost all men walk in darkness and you will not see clearly.
Kiss the ground again, my daughter, for my consecrated souls... Pray for them, my children; the Church needs holy pastors. The Church weeps for her consecrated souls, my children. Sacrifice and penance I ask.
And I tell you, my children, to work; you are now closer than ever to your salvation.
I bless you, my children, as the Father blesses you through the Son and with the Holy Spirit.
Raise all objects, my children; they will all be blessed for the healings of soul and body...
Farewell, my children. Farewell!
