PARDON me if I tend to repeat quotes already cited in my past columns. It's just that there is such a tone of urgency in some of the messages that I feel the need to emphasize thru repetition. Some quotes here, however, are not found in the past pieces, again about the Warning prophesied in the Marian apparitions in Garanbandal, Spain (1961-65) and other supernatural manifestations in our time.
In the United States, Jesus Christ reportedly told mytic Janie Garza: "Our humble servant, the illumination (the Warning) that will take place will be for a short period. During this time My Father will allow all of humanity to see the state of their souls as My Father sees their souls. This will be a time of great grace when many souls will repent and return to My Father. Those souls that die will die from great shock to see the state of the darkness which exists in their souls."
Then Janie asked: "Beloved Savior, will the illumination scare people?"
Jesus replied: "The fear that will inflame their hearts is the holy fear of the immense power of My Father, especially for those many souls that have continued to deny the existence of My Father. These will be the souls that will experience tremendous fear."
Again, inquisitive Janie asked: "Will all people convert?"
Jesus: "Many will convert, but many will not."
Janie persisted ans asked: "Oh, Jesus, will this happen very soon?"
Jesus: "Our humble servant, this will happen within a short period. Do not be distracted with dates, but prepare every day with strong prayer."
Fr. Michel Rodrigue, who is reported to have first encountered the Divine when he was merely three years old, quoted God the Father as follows: "Pray and be confident. I do not want you to be like the ones who have no faith and who will tremble during the manifestation of the Son of Man. On the contrary, pray and rejoice and receive the peace given by my Son, Jesus. What sorrow when I must respect free will and come to the point of giving a Warning that is also part of My mercy. Be ready and vigilant for the hour of My mercy. I bless you, My children."
To mystic Luz de Maria, our Blessed Mother said: "How close this generation is to the Warning! And how many of you do not even know what the Warning is! In these times, my faithful instruments and my prophet [Luz de María] are mocked by those who consider themselves scholars of spirituality, by those who reach millions of souls through means of mass communication... The Warning is not a fantasy. Humanity must be purified so that it does not fall into the flames of hell. People will see themselves, and in that moment, they will ache for not having believed, but they will have already misled many of My children who will not be able to recuperate so easily, for the godless will deny the Warning and attribute it to new technologies."
Of course, we can't miss Servant of God Ma. Esperanza de Bianchini who is now at times referred to as the female Padre Pio for her charism. She quoted our Blessed Mother as saying: "The love of my Jesus will be the door that will open hearts to give access to a beautiful era that must revive people to a glorious teaching of unity. Take advantage of time because the hour is arriving when my Son will appear before everyone as Judge and Savior. You must be in the necessary conditions to live with Him on that Great Day. Do not think that it is distant."
Another message of the Blessed Mother to Maria Esperanza: "Little children, I am your Mother, and I come to seek you so that you may prepare yourselves to be able to bring my message of reconciliation: reconciliation: There is coming the great moment of a Great Day of Light. The consciences of this beloved people must be violently shaken so that they may "put their house in order" and offer to Jesus the just reparation for the daily infidelities that are committed on the part of sinners... it is the hour of decision for mankind."
