THE
VICTORIOUS QUEEN OF THE WORLD
The Victorious Queen of the World
— The spiritual diary of a contemporary mystic, Sr. Natalia of Hungary
was translated from Hungarian into English by Stephen A. Foglein, an
engineer and immigrant from Hungary, and published by Two Hearts Books
& Publishers in Orangevale, California in 1988. We thank Mrs.
Foglein for her permission for us to reprint from this book. (Mr.
Foglein had passed away a few years ago.) A brief introduction
below is followed by some excerpts from this book.
Sr. Maria Natalia was born in 1901 in Pozsony
(today's Bratislava in Slovakia) and was inflicted with many physical
and inner sufferings throughout her life. (She
died on April 24, 1992.) Her notes on the visions and messages
that she had received from Our Lord and Our Lady were smuggled out to
the West, as the Church in Hungary was under Communist persecution until
recently. Here are some comments received by the publisher of the
book containing Sr. Natalia's notes: Mr. John Haffert, founder of
the Blue Army: "How I treasure this book. I have
read it over and over during the past two weeks here at Fatima. .
. I will also ask The 101 Foundation to promote this book
actively, as I will do. God reward you for your courage and
perseverance in making these important messages known to the
English-speaking world." Mother Angelica, EWTN: "Thank
you for the book: Victorious Queen of the World. God's
mercy is tremendous. . . You and your intentions are in our thoughts and
prayers. . . " Fr. Albert Roux, U.S. Director of The
Marian Movement of Priests: "I thank you for The Victorious
Queen of the World. May the Lord guide and bless you."
There seem to be many similarities between the messages received by Sr.
Natalia and those received at places like Paris, La Salette, Lourdes,
Fatima, Akita and Naju. A main theme common to these messages
is the need for our penance. Penance (reparation for human
sins) is also what all the Saints have zealously practiced according to
Our Lord's teaching: "Unless you do penance, you shall
all likewise perish." (Luke 13:3 and 5). Sin is what
prevents us from being in union with God and attaining eternal
life. To expiate for human sins and erase the debts incurred
through them, we need to repent our sins and lead a life of penance with
the help of God's graces during this precious time of our life on earth,
which is the time of His mercy. The Protestant doctrine says that
Christ's suffering and death on the Cross was sufficient for human
salvation, that humans cannot do anything that has any redemptive value
and that their faith in Christ as their Savior is sufficient for their
salvation. Of course, Our Lord's suffering and death was of
infinite value, more than enough to compensate for all human sins, but
He has also willed that His work of redemption be participated in by the
members of His Mystical Body, the Church, through their prayers,
self-renunciation, penance, and other acts of charity. St. Paul
wrote, "I rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up those
things that are wanting of the sufferings of Christ, in my flesh, for
his body, which is the church" (Col. 1:24). Our Lord
Himself said, "Whoever does not take up his cross and follow
after me is not worthy of me" (Matthew 10:38). It is the
teaching of the Catholic Church that the accomplishment of human
salvation requires both the operation of the divine graces in human
souls and the cooperation of the humans' will with the divine
graces. The Church declares as follows on this subject: God
is the sovereign master of His plan. But to carry it out He also
makes use of His creatures' cooperation. This use is not a sign of
weakness, but rather a token of almighty God's greatness and
goodness. For God grants His creatures not only their existence,
but also the dignity of acting on their own, of being causes and
principles for each other, and thus of cooperating in the accomplishment
of His plan (Catechism of the Catholic Church #306). St.
Augustine also said: He who has created you without yourself, does
not justify you without yourself. Thus He created you without your
knowledge, but only with your agreement and your will does He justify
you (Sermo 169, II, 13).

Excerpts from Sr. Natalia's spiritual diary: The
Victorious Queen of the World, translated by Stephen
A. Foglein
The crown of Sr. Natalia's mysticism for which God has
selected her is to reveal to the world the new title under which Jesus
wants His Immaculate Mother to be venerated and that is: THE
VICTORIOUS QUEEN OF THE WORLD. It is the definite request of
the Lord Jesus that His Immaculate Mother be venerated and loved under
this new title. Jesus has put into the hands of His Immaculate
Mother the power to save the world and the victory over evil at this time.
In order to be able to free the world from evil, she needed the power of a
Queen. She was crowned Queen by the Three Divine Persons and
received the necessary power from Them.
This title was recognized by Pope Pius XII in
1954 and, at the same time, May 31st was designated to honor
Mary as Queen of the World, mostly based on the messages that Sr. Natalia
received. This title of Our Heavenly Mother is not foreign to the
mind of the Church. For centuries we have prayed daily in the Rosary
the Glorious Mystery of the Coronation. God does not give empty
titles; His words are full of power. Mary was venerated since the
earliest times of the Church as Queen by the saints and the people as
well. Proof of this can be found in Sacred Scripture and in the many
churches that were erected in honor of Mary as Queen. St. Bernard
said, "Because of her humility God gave her the royal power of
the Queen, but this won't be known before mankind in its entirety, till
the last times." St. Louis Grignon de Montfort, who
centuries ago had a glimpse of God's design for the future, similar to St.
John's Apocalypse, describes Mary as Queen in his book: "The
Perfect and True Devotion to Mary".
JESUS TEACHES SR. NATALIA
Jesus mentioned many times that He cannot accept some
prayers because the person who is praying does not trust Him totally. We
want Him to arrange our affairs in our way; we say: not this way, but that
way. We do not think that He is the One Who knows better; Who can arrange
our affairs really for our betterment and joy.
Thus I learned slowly that I should not imagine God in
the clouds while praying, but I should search for Him in me. God is much
closer to us than we are to ourselves. If this is the case, there is no
obstacle to talking to Him always!
Jesus is the one who lives in all My fellow men. If I
want Him to rejoice, I have to act in a way that my action causes joy to
my brothers and sisters.
I learned that we have to surround sinners with even
more love, because it is Jesus Who suffers in them. This way we can help
Jesus.
Jesus told me the following: "My Virgin Mother
does not exist by Herself. My Immaculate Mother and I are one! If someone
loves Me, My Immaculate Mother rejoices."
If reparation is done together with the Blessed Virgin
Mary it cannot be twisted and sin cannot enter into it. Penance, done
united with her, is free from imperfection. Those who unite their prayers
and penance with her do it with the faith of the Immaculate Virgin. Even
if prayer and penance are done imperfectly, because of distraction,
tiredness, and other things, they will be made perfect by the Immaculate
Mother. We just have to ask her, whole- heartedly and sincerely, and then
she will pray with us.
After Holy Communion the Savior communicated His
pleasure to me: "Rejoice with Me, My daughter. I found
self-sacrificing souls. . . I redeemed the world with sufferings and by
praying during the night. By reparation I mean mostly the changing of
habits, to be better. Those who have cursed should praise, those who have
stolen should give, those who have hated should love. People who have
served their body, shall from now on serve their souls, and the ones who
have ignored My commandments, should obey them, because without that there
is no repentance. . . Reparation, sacrifice, and amendment of life! My
child! Tell this to everyone: If the spirit of reparation flowers in
souls, I will have mercy on Hungary and on the whole world. . . Although
sins cause Me pain, in My mercy I am not turning away from sinners. The
greatest pain for Me is when I see that they despise and disregard the
work of reparation."
"My child! If you are in great sorrow and cannot
pray; if you are confused about something; if you are hurt; if you feel
you are burnt out and you have no strength at all, you just say to Me with
confidence and love: Jesus . . . Jesus. Then, hearing My name, the angels,
the saints and my Immaculate Mother all prostrate themselves before Me and
adore Me. Hell is closed, since hell is also under the power of God."
"It is written in Scripture that heaven and earth
shall bow before My name. You see, this is the meaning of it. Don't you
think the pronunciation of My name is a powerful prayer?"
"If you cannot do more during the time allocated
to prayer, just pronounce My name, and you should do this whenever you
take a breath, with love and trust, then you prayed very well and you can
gain everything by that."
This is why we do not have to convert others by force.
If someone cannot be reached, for example, a father or mother or children,
it is enough if we pray for them. They will be surrounded with a blessed
force field. All this through Our Virgin Mother!
Because we cannot approach Jesus without His Mother if we want to appear
favorably before Him. A man of pride
cannot do that. A proud man goes on the way of perdition. Lucifer couldn't
humiliate himself either. Our Virgin Mother carries all her children in
her arms. She caresses them, gives them all her merits, and makes Jesus
overlook their faults.
The Virgin Mother let me know that the greatest
epidemic that is spreading throughout the world in these days is the
denial of the Real Presence in the Holy Eucharist. This false teaching is
coming from the modernist theologians who mislead the people, and as an
effect some priests have mental reservations when they prepare for the
Transubstantiation during Mass, and many times their conscience is not
clear. The Holy Virgin continued, "The other great sin is
laziness, which is widespread among you. This signifies not only the
absence of extraordinary fervor, but even neglecting required duties,
without which there is no salvation, since the lukewarm are spit out of
the mouth of the Lord (Apocalypse 3:16). Laziness is the beginning of all
sorts of ills, both of body and soul; it is an illness that only the love
of my Divine Son can cure in you. When this love of Jesus is once lit, it
cannot be extinguished any more."
Around 1944, the Savior told me, "I wish to tell
the Church through you that a terrible punishment will be inflicted on
three quarters of the world, because of the sins of the souls consecrated
to Me. . . I said many times that I wish to do great things through My
Church. But if men do not cooperate with Me in this, with their expiatory
sacrifices, then - although I am Omnipotent - I cannot do much for them."
If anyone saw only once how Jesus asked, or begged for something, that
person would never refuse to do anything for Him. The Lord asks nothing
for Himself, but for us, and at the same time He won't interfere with our
free will!
Jesus to Sr. Natalia: "If you love Me, you do not
have to ask for anything. You have only one task: to love Me! I want you
to understand this eventually. Everything else will be provided for you,
my poor, precious child."
THE CHASTISEMENT AND THE FATE OF THE WORLD
The messages in this chapter are similar in many
instances to the messages of La Salette, Fatima, and other modern messages
and warnings. The essence of these messages can be summarized
thus: we are living at the end times, but not at the end of the
world. At this time God will enter into history through signs,
miracles and catastrophes, which will make the reality of God and His
truth self-evident for all souls and force men to choose between God and
His adversary Satan. The significant signs of God's
intervention in history can be summarized as follows:
-
It will happen through the Blessed
Virgin Mary.
-
The sinful world will be cleansed.
-
The Church itself will be cleansed
and renewed.
-
The coming age will be the age of
heavenly peace, almost the state that was lost in Paradise, in which
all nations will become Christian and there will be only "one
fold and one shepherd" (John 10:16). This age also
will be the age of Mary and the Holy Spirit, her Spouse.
Devotion to Mary will be at its height. The Church will proclaim
new dogmas about Mary: one possibly will be "Mediatrix",
the other will be: "Co-Redemptrix."
-
Then after this "second
paradise", mankind will become bored with the peace of
God: "they will forget that the sins of man are the cause
of all the trouble on this earth" (Secret of La Salette)
and will make way for the forerunners of the Antichrist that will
usher in the end of the world.
The secret of the Divine Heart
Once in a vision the Lord showed me how the greater
part of the world will become a pile of ruin. I saw cities and
farms; everything looked like a forest after fire (See also Washington's
vision). There was no sign of life anywhere. Then suddenly the
Divine Savior appeared. I saw Him walking among the blackened
ruins. He lifted up His right hand toward heaven, while His left
hand pointed to earth. I asked Him: "My Jesus, what are You
doing among these ruins?" He answered, "I am
searching for a foothold to sow the seeds of the promise of My Heavenly
Father, but everything is just burnt out, blackened ruin."
I understood that His right hand raised toward heaven signified the
impending punishment, while His left, pointing toward earth, represented
His extended mercy. As I watched the vision, writing appeared above
Jesus' right hand: "It
will not happen this way if My people will convert. Because of
reparation, the Heavenly Father will have mercy on the world."
"I am telling you again!"
Jesus said, "I am telling you again: pray
that before the holy peace of the world and the great mercy to come,
sinners in the Church and in the world may convert to God and accept My
Mercy, by amending their lives. Otherwise all those who will not
convert before or during the period of grace will receive eternal death!"
"You who are just, should not be afraid! Pray, and trust
the power of holy prayer! Rejoice because you found mercy with My
Heavenly Father. Do not be afraid, rather rejoice, because My
Immaculate Mother with her power as Queen, full of grace, together with
the heavenly hosts of Angels, will annihilate the forces of hell!"
Why is the promised world peace coming so slowly?
A priest asked the above question of me, and I received
the following answer from the Blessed Virgin: "The age of
world peace is not being delayed. The Heavenly Father only wants to
give time to those who are able to convert and find refuge with God with a
contrite heart. Many will convert even from among those who now deny
the existence of God. The world received the grace of this extension
of time before the chastisement, because the Heavenly Father has received
with favor the reparation and self-sacrifice offered throughout the world.
. . Your reparation has power because I am praying with you and
consoling the greatly offended God with you. Even your breathing
should be an expiating prayer before God."
The exaltation of Satan
The Blessed Virgin told me that the decisive
victory which will end the saturation of the world with lies, and that
will open the way of the promised holy peace, will come when Satan will
have gained power everywhere; when he will have seduced most souls; when
in his haughtiness, which knows no bounds, he will feel that he can ruin
all God's creation, including souls; when the true faith and light will
live only in a few souls, because the vast majority of people will have
gone over to his side; then the victory will come suddenly and
unexpectedly.
The power of Mary Immaculate
Jesus said, "This world is obstinate in its
wickedness. As this stubborn wickedness progresses, so the world is
getting further and further away from Me. But I cannot repent of My
love. I extend My hand toward them, which is mercy and punishment at
the same time. Mercy and love for those who love Me, and punishment
for those who despise Me. . . The world has reached the point where
wickedness itself begs for a stop. The power of My Immaculate Mother
is able to stop the crumbling mountains; it is able to hold back rivers
overflowing their banks; and to calm the roaring sea. She will be
your help."
The intercession of the Blessed Virgin
So far in our days the Immaculate Heart of Mary has
prevented the catastrophe of the world. A terrible fate awaits
humanity if men will not convert. The Lord Jesus wishes to give
His graces through our Immaculate Mother. This is why the Holy
Virgin is the one who calls us to repentance and penance. The Lord
Jesus wishes to give His gifts for us through the intercession of our
beautiful and victorious Blessed Mother, who ceaselessly prays for
humanity.
The fire of the Holy Spirit
I saw God's Holy Spirit - as a devastating fire -
inundate the world. This fire did not bring peace, nor mercy, but
devastating punishment. Wherever the flame of the Holy Spirit swept
through, the evil spirits by the thousands fell back to hell. But
before everything was ruined, I saw the Holy Virgin fall on her knees
before Jesus, praying, asking for mercy for the world. Jesus did not
look at her, but watched the Heavenly Father. The Heavenly Father
did not pull back His hand extended over the world in His just
anger. Then the Holy Virgin took from her shoulder the mantle of
peace and suddenly covered the world with it. All those parts of the
world that were covered with the mantle escaped the punishment and shone
in the blue color of peace. But where the mantle did not cover the
surface, the red color of anger could be seen glowing like embers. I
understood that we could escape from the just punishment of God only if we
sought refuge under the mantle of our Blessed Virgin Mother, and pleaded
for mercy through her.
How can we hasten the victory?
A priest asked me to ask the Blessed Virgin:
"What shall we do to hasten her victory?" The
answer came from the Blessed Virgin: "If you want to hasten the
great miracle of the victory of your Queen, with which I will save the
world, then you who are close to me should help me by trusting me and my
Son as little children would trust their mother, besides making
reparation, the life offering and praying. Your trust so far has not
been sufficient, and yet the effectiveness of your prayer depends on your
trust. If you pray with full confidence, the victory that you are
eagerly awaiting will bring the joy of worldwide peace in a cleansed
environment. Trust me. Trust me always, my children!"
Jesus praying
Once I saw Jesus as He prayed to His Heavenly Father, I
asked Him: "My Jesus, for whom or for what are you praying
now?" Jesus answered, " My child! I pray
for those for whom you should pray too! Beseech the Heavenly Father
that the wickedness of men on earth will cease soon. Pray earnestly
that the hearts of men may soon be filled with holy and heavenly peace,
the peace that I brought to earth, that this peace may spread
everywhere. With My prayer I obtained from My Father that the time
of suffering will end soon to make room for the coming of heavenly joy to
you. But before that time will come, you must go through heavy
trials. Yet you can mitigate the weight of these
trials by prayer, supplication and unending reparation.
Therefore pray fervently and with holy hope, that the angels and saints of
heaven also plead for mercy with My Heavenly Father together with Me and
My Immaculate Mother. Console the deeply offended God not only for
your own sins, but for the sins of others. Only in this way can the
grace of the great miracle, the promised peace will be effective in
you. It is very near now."
The age of peace
Jesus showed me in a vision that after the cleansing,
mankind will live an angelic and clean life. There will be an end to
the sins against the sixth commandment and an end to lies! The
Savior showed me that unceasing love, happiness and divine joy will
signify this future clean world. I saw the blessing of God
abundantly poured out upon the earth. Satan and sin were completely
defeated and took leave. The cleansed world will gain, through the
Blessed Virgin Mother, the peace of the Lord. But the Lord never
told me when all this will be realized.
The trials of the Church
The Lord Jesus let me know that just before the victory
that will bring peace to the world, great confusion and terror will reign
in the Church. The reason for this confusion will be the penetration
of godlessness into the sanctuaries of the Church; tradition will be
ruined and there will be worldliness everywhere. This calamity will
go together with the hatred and enmity among nations that will result in
the outbreak of many wars. I learned that many will attack the
Church; their goal will be to alienate the believers from the Church, to
take away their trust in her, and thereby they will become free prey for
Satan.
The fate of those who do not convert
The Savior said, "The right hand of my
Father will annihilate all those sinners who, despite the warnings and the
period of grace and the tireless effort of the Church, will not convert."
The renewed Church
Jesus also told me that the Church, cleansed and
renewed by great sufferings, will again be clothed in humility and
simplicity, and will be poor as at the beginning. The spirit of
holiness will penetrate all the members of the Church, and they will live
by the spirit of the Sermon on the Mount. As we get closer to the
end of the current world, this simplicity and poverty will have wider and
wider acceptance.
The Queen of Peace
I saw that when the glorious peace arrives and love
reigns, there will be only "one fold and one shepherd."
Mary, the mother of all believers, will guide the life of souls, appearing
under various forms. She will be the Queen of the Coming Age.
She will be the mediator between God and men through Jesus Christ; she
will distribute all graces through the powers she has received. Her
mantle will cover the whole earth, and her tiara will decorate it.
Her Heart will direct the whole world till the arrival of the Last
Judgment.
GOD'S DESIGN FOR THE FUTURE OF THE WORLD
There is no one on earth who would not sigh when
thinking about the future of the world. Will there be peace or do we
have to prepare for war? Can we survive the nuclear age? But
if you consider the conditions today: the rampant crimes, terrorism, sins
surpassing the sins of Noah's generation (Mary told this to Fr. Gobbi),
how can we expect peace without a cleansing?
In God's design this is the Age of Mary!
I saw the Holy Trinity talking about the fate of the
world now immersed in sin. Angels, saints, and all of heaven
prostrated at this time, worshipped Them in deep quiet.
The Heavenly Father said, "The world
immersed in sin has to be destroyed according to My Justice."
Then I saw Jesus, the Merciful Love, close to the Father, supplicating; He
prostrated Himself before the Father, as, though united to Him, He still
was a separate person, and said: "My Father, I am your
Son. You ordered Me to die for this world!" Then
He showed His wounds that burned like fire. The hand of the Heavenly
Father Ñ which now seemed not as a Fatherly hand, but as a heavy, just,
and punishing hand Ñ weighed heavily on the world. Then Jesus put
His wounded hand under His Father's asking: "Please have
mercy for a while. . . "
But the Heavenly Father's hand just pushed down Jesus'
hand and He said: "No, My Son. Sin is crying out
for vengeance!" This was a terrible vision, because it
seemed that justice would prevail over Merciful Love. Then Jesus
glanced at His Mother at His side and shouted: "My
Immaculate Mother, come help Me to hold up the hand of My Heavenly
Father. My hand is not enough!" At the moment
when the Blessed Virgin put her hand under Jesus', the Heavenly Father
lifted up His hand and said, "My Son! Mercy has
prevailed. The sinful world has gained mercy on account of the
supplication of the Immaculate Mother of God. We will entrust the
saving work of the world to her. To save the world, she needs
power. Therefore we endow the Immaculate Mother of God with the
powers of Queen. Her title will be: the Victorious Queen of the
World. As Co-Redemptrix of the world, mankind, which is condemned to
die because of its sins, will receive grace and salvation through her. We
place under her command the host of angels."
As the Heavenly Father pronounced these words, the
heavenly hosts shouted with joy, celebrating Mary. The Virgin Mother
was decorated with her three greatest virtues when she appeared: Immaculate
purity, flaming love, and deep humility.
Seeing it Ñ although He gave it to her Ñ even God was amazed. Her
heart was filled with happiness that the words, "the humble
will be exalted" which as an unknown little girl from
Nazareth she pronounced in the Magnificat, had been
fulfilled in her. The Holy Trinity crowned her. The glittering
crown had three pieces, signifying the Father, the Son and the Holy
Spirit. God in Three Persons worked in the Immaculate Mother, as if
the Holy Spirit had overshadowed her again, that she might give Jesus to
the world again. The Heavenly Father showered her with a flood of
graces. From the Son, unspeakable happiness and love radiated toward
her, as if He would congratulate her while He said, "My
Immaculate Mother, the Victorious Queen of the World, show your
power! This time work as Co-Redemptrix according to My will, so I
want to share with you My power as King. With this I entrust you
with the saving work of sinful humanity; You can do it with your power as
Queen. It is necessary that I share with you everything, that you
become comparable to Me. You are the Co-Redemptrix of humanity."
Then I saw that her mantle was saturated with the blood
of Jesus, and this gave it a scarlet color. My attention then was
drawn to the angels, who surrounded their Queen with great
reverence. The angels wore white, red and black. I understood
that white symbolized the future purity of the world, red the martyrdom of
cleansing in blood, black the mourning over the fate of the damned souls.
Then the Virgin Mother started to walk gently and yet
stately, toward the world. I saw the world as a giant sphere that
was squeezed by a crown of thorns, and was full of sin. Satan, as a
serpent coiled around it and all sin and dirt came out of him.
The Virgin Mother stood on the globe as the Victorious
Queen, Her first act as Queen was to cover it with her mantle, saturated
with the blood of Jesus. Then she blessed the world, and I saw that
at the same time the Holy Trinity also blessed the world.
The satanic serpent then attacked her with terrible
hatred and determination; flames came out of its open mouth. I was
afraid that her mantle would catch on fire and burn, but the flames were
not even able to touch it. The Virgin Mother was calm, as if she
were not in a fight, and quietly stepped on the serpent's neck. The
serpent did not cease to spew forth flames, the symbol of hatred and
revenge, but he was not able to do any more damage, while the crown of
thorns, made of sin, had disappeared from around the world, and from the
center a lily came forth and started to bloom.
I saw also that the blessing of the Virgin Mother had
fallen on every nation and person. Her voice was indescribably
gentle and majestic when she said, "I am coming! I will
help! I will bring discipline and peace! I will save you!"
Jesus explained to me: "My Immaculate Mother
will be victorious over sin with her power as Queen. The lily
represents the cleansing of the world, the coming Age of Paradise, when
humanity will live as if without sin. This will be a new world and a
new age. This will be the age when mankind will get back what it
lost in Paradise. When My Immaculate Mother will step on the neck of
the serpent, the gates of hell will be closed. The hosts of angels
will be part of this fight."
What can we do to hasten the victory
of the Queen of the world!
Jesus said, "My Immaculate Mother will be
the Co-Redemptrix of this coming age." "My
Jesus, what shall we do to hasten the victory of our Immaculate Mother and
Queen?" "Ask Her often: 'Our Immaculate Mother,
show us your power!'" When I said this prayer I asked Our
Mother: "What do you wish us to do till the glorious new age of
yours will arrive?" The Virgin Mother's clothing changed
color. It was covered with a transparent black veil, though on her
head I still saw the triple crown. Her happy face suddenly turned
into an expression of deep sorrow. She folded her hands and begged
the world, seemingly calling everybody. "Come my dear
children, and together with me console the Heavenly Father Who is deeply
offended!" It was clear to me that the whole world has
to do much penance, reparation and make many sacrifices. Jesus
explained to me on numerous occasions what He considered reparation and
what He wishes us to do.
-
"The first meaning of reparation is that
everyone strive to change his life to be better than it was
before. Namely, the person who cursed, should praise; the one
who stole should not do it any more; the one who hated his neighbor
should try to love him. Who, ever lived for his body, should
live now for the soul! Etc. Everyone should examine his
conscience and, while repenting, should strive to change something at
the same time."
-
"I redeemed the world with fasting and
praying during the night. I request fasting, praying the holy
hour, awakening for prayers at night, and the patient endurance of
sufferings for my sake."
The Blessed Virgin asked Sr. Natalia for a special fast of the tongue:
i.e., we should not gossip about our brothers and sisters, because
this is as if we were to scourge Her.
About patient enduring of sufferings: "You should meet with
Me at every moment, specially in the hour of suffering. Tell Me:
'Thank you! Be blessed for it! Be it done according to
Your will!' I could not ask more from people. It is more
valuable than if someone would scourge himself from morning to night."
-
Jesus asks us to pray the Rosary. I saw, that
when each bead of the Rosary is said, a drop of Jesus' Blood falls on
the person for whom we say it, or on the souls of those whom Jesus
would like to save. This was requested particularly by the souls
suffering in Purgatory.
-
Jesus asks particularly for devotion to and
consolation of the Heart of His Immaculate Mother.
The Blessed Mother's message on September 8, 1985
The Holy Virgin let me know that these little buds
could grow only in groups, helping and supporting each other. I
understood that in this time of history, which is so hostile to spiritual
life, the souls who grow in God should stay together, making up small
communities (prayer groups). Life has a chance against death only in
this way.
I asked: "What sins hurt you and Jesus the
most?" She answered: "The two major sins are
cursing and laziness in doing good. You also curse My Divine Son
whenever you receive the Sacraments without proper preparation, without
being worthy to receive it, or not receiving it at all, or when the
priests give them negligently." The Virgin Mother here
let me know that the greatest epidemic that is spreading throughout the
world in these days is the denial of the Real Presence in the Holy
Eucharist. This false teaching is coming from the modern theologians
who mislead the people, and as a result some priests have mental
reservations when during Mass they prepare for the Consecration, and many
times their conscience is not clear.
"The other great sin", the Holy
Virgin continued, "is laziness, which is widespread among
you. This signifies not only the absence of extraordinary fervor,
but even neglecting required duties, without which there is no salvation,
since the lukewarm will be spit out of the mouth of the Lord (Apocalypse
3:16). Laziness is the beginning of all sorts of ills, both of
body and soul; it is an illness that only the love of my Divine Son can
cure."
Messages in 1986
"Our Virgin Mother, Victorious Queen of the World, show us
your power!" The Lord Jesus asks us to say this prayer
often and with great trust. Especially now when we live in the age
of the Virgin Mary, that the "fullness of time"
will come quickly; that she may give birth again to her Son. As God
the Savior redeemed the world with the assistance of the Virgin Mary, so
will it be now, that through her He will save the world, which is sunk in
the swamp of sin, from well-deserved annihilation. Jesus said:
"My dear children! Do not be afraid. Pray!
Wait with joy for the coming of your Mother, the Victorious Queen of the
World. She will arrive with her richest blessings. You hasten
the arrival of these graces by praying much, offering to her your life and
making reparation."
