OUR LADY OF THE CROSS MESAGES FROM JUNE 25, 1994 THRU DEC. 1994
#220 June 25, 1994 1:30 A.M.
Praise Jesus. Praise Jesus. My children, like young people everywhere, you want a life
that is worth living. In your hearts you feel a powerful yearning for a world filled with
goodness, with justice, with understanding and harmony between people and between
nations. You want to live on the level of light and truth in human relations, and therefore
of trust and genuine freedom. Where will you find all this? Jesus said to Andrew and
John: "Come and you will see." So they went and saw and they stayed with Him. They
stayed because they saw that with Jesus Christ they could aspire to what their hearts most
desired. Not that Jesus offered simple solutions; on the contrary, both Andrew and John
would suffer much for His sake. But their meeting with Jesus made them realize that here
they had the key to their existence; here they found the deepest meaning of life. They had
found the way to give the highest value to their lives. Christ fully reveals man to himself
and brings to light his most high calling. His way of salvation, however, is not what we
might expect from a purely human way of thinking. The crucified and risen Lord does not
promise you a perfect and comfortable life in this world. If you reflect on this you will
realize that even people who enjoy an abundance of earthly pleasures, possessions, and
power often feel empty and unhappy. This cannot be the answer to the deepest longings
of the human heart. What Jesus does promise is that His victory over sin and death can
also be your victory if, in imitation of His Cross, you consent to "lose your life" together with
Him; that is, to offer your life to the Father, to spend your life in love for others, even
strangers, enemies and those who sin against you, to seek God's will and not your own in
all things. It is only within this perspective of the total Christian vocation that you will find
answers to the questions you ask about marriage and the family, or the priesthood and
religious life. For in all things Christ is the pattern of Christian life and behavior. Celibacy,
for example, is meant to enable the priest or religious to imitate Christ's total self giving for
the sake of all. It frees a man or woman from exclusive affections of family ties in order
that he or she may be totally dedicated to the service of God and of humanity. It is a
special grace given to some, a sign of God's special love for those who have accepted a
call to consecration or sacramental configuration with Christ. I am your Mother, the Queen
of Peace.

Praise Jesus. Praise Jesus. My children, Jesus reigns on the Cross revealing Himself as
the Shepherd Who reunited the scattered children of God as the King of the Universe.
Therefore, He is worthy to receive power and riches, wisdom strength and honor.
Jesus is always alone. Go to His feet at the Cross and pray to Him. He is an all-loving
God. He has many favors to grant you. The soul who daily recites my Rosary, all fifteen
decades-- I will one day before his or her death come to that soul and embrace that soul
in my arms. Jesus founded the Catholic Church. There are those who would like to say
the Church is invisible and only Christ knows who are the members of His Church. Some
deny that there are external signs of membership. If this were so, how could Jesus teach
until the end of time? He had to be sure the correct path to Heaven would be handed
down to the peoples of all times. Today, there are so many people who claim to have
Christ's message for us, and they are contradicting one another. The first question we
must ask ourselves, "Did Jesus organize a Church?" The Jewish religion was temporary.
It was to bridge the gap between Moses and Christ. Upon it Christ constructed
Christianity. He supervised their training personally. He gave them all the necessary
powers. "Go therefore and teach..... Baptize.....Whose sins you shall forgive..... Do this
in memory of me..... Whatever you shall bind on earth....." In other words, He gave the
Apostles a three-fold office; teaching, ruling and sanctifying. He commanded people to
hear His Church, He said, "He that hears you, hears Me." He guaranteed this Church
against error. People could justly demand such a guarantee if He insists that they must
follow its teaching. They could very well say to Him; "All right, you tell me to belong to your
Church, what guarantee will I receive that this will get me where I want to go?" Jesus'
answer is, "Behold, I am with you all days;" then, "the gates of Hell shall not prevail against
her." The gates of Hell, of course, are the power of evil, the power of the devil. The spirit
of truth will abide with you all days. He placed St. Peter at the Head of His Church. Christ
is the invisible head of His Church. I am your Mother, the Queen of Peace.

Praise Jesus. Praise Jesus. My children, to live the Fatima message today, we need daily
miracles of grace in our lives. We need daily miracles of grace in our lives. We need
miracles of light to see the truth, courage to stand firm; as well as faith, hope, and charity.
Expect miracles, why not? Jesus Christ is on earth. That is what the Holy Eucharist
means. What we are called upon to do is humanly impossible. We must, therefore, as a
condition for survival, have access to and use supernatural means. Either we have
recourse to the sources of Divine Grace available through prayer and the Sacraments, or
we shall become further casualties in the war between the followers of Satan and the
followers of Jesus Christ. I your Mother, request the need for constant humble prayer, and
frequent reception of the sacraments and devotion to our Lord in the Holy Eucharist. I ask
constant prayer, as a continual readiness to do God's will; sometimes referred to as
"prayer with the heart." The New Testament is essentially a contract between God and
man. In it God promises many good things, including eternal life, if we conform ourselves
to His Will. In my last appearance at Fatima, and elsewhere, I don't present you with
anything new. I repeat, and give emphasis to certain aspects of public revelation,
especially the contractual elements of the New Testament. The core of the Fatima
message is the Divine Imperative: Sin leads to unhappiness! Stop sinning! Repent!
Repent of your sins, and you will enjoy God's blessings in time and in eternity. I am your
Mother, the Queen of Peace.
August 25, 1994 4:30 A.M.
Praise Jesus. Praise Jesus. My children, God's plan: I your Mother stressed the salvation
of peace. I informed you of God's concern for souls and gave us His plan to save them.
In essence what God said is that the evil of sin can be remedied by devotion to my
immaculate heart of your Mother Mary. And this is also the best way to peace. I also
made this known to each of you: that we can pray and sacrifice for sinners. I made this
clear when I said; "sacrifice yourselves for sinners and say often, especially when you
make some sacrifice: "Oh Jesus, it is for the love of You, for the conversion of sinners, and
in reparation for the sins committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary." In other
words, the prayers and sacrifices of others can be the means of the sinner's conversion.
Abortion is an issue which can not readily be solved by legislation alone, because it is a
moral one. But hearts can be changed; Jesus and I your Mother have told you how- by
sacrifice and by prayer- especially the daily recitation of the Rosary and the 5 First
Saturdays of Reparation. God has given us the solution and remedy for evil. Isn't it about
time we recognize that it is also the remedy for the sin of abortion? Who has a better
solution than the one given to us by God? Isn't it about time that we apply this Heaven
sent remedy for all sin? For many, prayers, Rosaries, and 1st Saturday devotions all over
the world has had an impact on the evils of communism which we now see disintegrating.
Because of this, more people are becoming aware that the 1st Saturday Devotion is an
important part of the answer to the world's problems. The world-wide effort to respond to
Jesus and my request for reparation is continuing and increasing. Now that we have seen
the beginning of my prediction that Russia would be converted, we need to intensify our
efforts to promote the Rosary and 1st Saturdays. I know that if you do what I ask we will
see other evils disintegrating as well. It is only when the rays of the sun are shining that
we can clearly see the shadows; and it is only when the light of virtue abounds that evil
can be rooted out. Let us put our trust in Jesus, and I your Mother Mary and do as we ask.
Pray the Rosary and observe the Five First Saturdays so that by our faith and prayers, the
goodness of God will permeate our lives and help us to right the wrongs that threaten our
society. I am your Mother, the Queen of Peace.
Sept 25, 1994 5:15 A.M.
Praise Jesus. Praise Jesus. My children, the Cross was Christ's victory. Christ had
revealed the Father's mysterious plan. The Son of Man must suffer greatly and be rejected
by the elders, the high priests and the scribes, and be killed and rise after three days. The
announcement was so unexpected, that Peter refused to accept it. He was not able to
understand the mystery of the suffering Messiah. When he had expressed his faith in
Jesus, he believed in the Messiah bound for triumph and glory. Peter's protest: "Lord, no
such thing will ever happen to you", is repeated again today by those who would not want
suffering to be part of human destiny. Jesus clearly made His apostles understand that
this type of thinking was not God's way, but man's way. The Father's plan was clear in
Jesus' eyes, the path of suffering and death was necessary, and suffering had to be not
only physical, but also moral, on account of the rejection by the religious leaders, the
hatred of the people, the plight of the disciples. Jesus one day explained without mincing
words the reason for His coming to earth. The Son of Man has come to give His life in
ransom for many. Thus, the Cross was not an accident in the journey made by Jesus, but
an element consciously willed for the redemption of humankind. Why such a sad fate?
To free the world from sin, the Father willed that the Son take on the weight of sin's
consequences. This decision makes us understand the seriousness of sin which can not
be minimized, since it's consequences are so numerous. Sin as an offense against God
could not be remedied except by man. God, thus: the Son Who came as a Savior offered
the Father the perfect homage of reparation and love, and gained for humanity the
remission of sins and the communication of Divine Light. This sacrifice occurred once and
for all in human history and has the salvific value for all people of all times and places. It
is the sacrifice which is renewed in every Eucharist. In the crucified Savior, we
contemplate Him Who sacrificed Himself for our salvation. No one has greater love than
this, than to lay down one's life for one's friend. This emulation is enlightening for all of
us. It shows that love reaches its summit through suffering. Since Christ wish to associate
us with His redemptive mission, we too, are called to share in His Cross. Sufferings which
are not lacking in our lives are destined to be united with the one sacrifice of Christ. Born
of love this sacrifice has an inexhaustible fruitfulness. Suffering might appear to be an
obstacle or destructive presence. The punishment of death on the Cross which put and
end to Jesus' life, might have made it look like His mission failed. Instead, in it, the Savior
brought that mission to fulfillment. As is seen in His own words: "Amen, Amen, I tell you,
unless the grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies it remains just a grain of wheat. But
if it dies, it produces much fruit." From this sacrifice have come abundant fruits of life for
humankind. I am your Mother, the Queen of Peace.
October 25, 1994 1:30 A.M.
Praise Jesus. Praise Jesus. My children... Resisting temptations. As long as we live in
this world we cannot be without tribulation and temptation. Hence it is written in Job: "The
life of man upon earth is a temptation." (Job 7:1) Therefore ought everyone to be solicitous
about his temptations, and watch in prayer, lest the devil, who never sleeps, but goeth
about seeking whom he may devour, find room to deceive him. (1Pet 5:8) No man is so
perfect and holy as not to have some times temptations: and we cannot be wholly without
them. Yet temptations are often very profitable in a man, although they be troublesome
and grievous: for in the a man is humbled, purified and instructed. All the saints have
passed through many tribulations and temptations and have profited by them: and they
who could not support temptations have become reprobates and fallen away. There is no
order so holy, nor place so retired, where there are not temptations and adversities. A
man is never entirely secure from temptations as long as he lives, because we have within
us the source of temptation, having been born in concupiscence.
When one temptation or tribulation is over, another comes on: and we shall have always
something to suffer, because we have lost the good of our original happiness. Many seek
to fly temptations and fall more grievously into them. By flight alone we cannot overcome:
but by patience and true humility we are made stronger than our enemies. He who
declines them outwardly and does not pluck out the roots will profit little; nay temptations
will sooner return to him, and he will find himself in a worse condition.
By degrees, and by patience, with longanimity, thou shalt by God's grace better overcome
them than by harshness and thine own importunity. In temptations often take counsel, and
deal not roughly with one that is tempted; but comfort him as thou wouldst wish to be done
to thyself. Inconstancy of mind and small confidence in God is the beginning of all evil
temptations. However, we must be watchful, especially in the beginning of temptations,
because then the enemy is easier overcome, if he is not suffered to come in at all at the
door of the soul, but is kept out and resisted at his first knock. Whence a certain man said:
"Withstand the beginning, after-remedies come too late." For first a bare thought comes
to the mind: then a strong imagination; afterwards delight and evil motion and consent.
And thus, by little and little, the wicked enemy sets full entrance when he is not resisted
in the beginning. And the longer a man is negligent in resisting, so much the weaker does
he daily become in himself, and the enemy becomes stronger against him. We must not,
therefore, despair when we are tempted, but pray to God with so much the more fervor,
that He may vouchsafe to help us in all tribulations. Let us, therefore, humble our souls,
under the hand of God in all temptations and tribulations: for the humble in spirit He will
save and exalt. I am your Mother, the Queen of Peace.

Praise Jesus. Praise Jesus. My children, the central message of Fatima can be
understood by everyone, even children. The absolute need for conversion and the need
for a life of prayer. These two fundamental truths contained in the Word of God are
necessary for personal salvation, happiness, as well as for the salvation and happiness
of all humanity. The Gospel tells us that Jesus Christ started His preaching by saying;
"Repent, Repent, Repent, and believe the Good News. He insisted that we must pray, so
as not to enter into temptation. The apostles practiced and preached the same message.
Change your hearts and your lives, so that your sins be erased - forgiven - St. Peter to the
people of Jerusalem. They were persistent in prayer, and St. Paul warned Christians - be
tenacious and vigilant in prayer, and so through your Mother Mary, and the angel at
Fatima, God requests us to change our hearts and our lives, conversion, and to have a life
of prayer and to offer prayers and sacrifices for the conversion of sinners and for peace
in the world. I am your Mother, the Queen of Peace.
December 8 1994
Praise Jesus. Praise Jesus. My Children: Rejoice beloved children with all paradise,
which today contemplates the divine light of the Most Holy Trinity, the splendor of your
Heavenly Mother. I am the most pure reflection of the light, the love, and the holiness of
God. Enter, all of you, into my immaculate heart with your consecration in this time of your
second advent. Keep watch in prayer and with confidence. And await with lighted torches,
within the gate of Heaven of your Heavenly Mother, the approaching return of the Lord
Jesus in Glory. I ask you all to repent, repent, repent and convert, and remember to go
in holiness. I am your mother, the Queen of Peace.
December 25, 1994 2:15 AM
Praise Jesus. Praise Jesus. My children: Christmas is a universal feast. Even those that
do not believe understand that this celebration has something different and transcendent
about it. The Christian however, knows that it celebrates the central event of human
history: The Incarnation of the Divine Word for the redemption of humanity. In fact,
Christmas makes us reflect on one hand, about the dramatic quality of human history in
which people wounded by sin are on a continuing quest for truth, pardon, mercy, and
redemption; and on the other hand, about the goodness of God who drew near to mankind
in order to communicate directly the truth which saves and makes us sharers of His
friendship and light. Christmas is a feast of Divine Love. He created us out of love, and
out of love He has redeemed us through Christ, and awaits us in His Kingdom. We do well
to remember that we are miserably afflicted by three ills: We are easily led astray, weak
in acting, and weak in resisting. If we want to distinguish between good and evil, we
deceive ourselves; If we try to do good, we do not have the strength to force ourselves to
resist evil. We are disheartened and give in. Therefore, we need the Saviors coming, and
Christ's presence among people who are so afflicted. Thus, My Son Jesus teaches us that
for God there is true value in humility, hiddenness, the peaceful and joyous acceptance
of His will in a charity which is ready to do something about the many needs of our
brothers and sisters. Christmas is the feast of God's love for mankind. As I express my
very best wishes for a blessed Christmas, I heartily wish that you may be witnesses and
messengers of this charity. Bring peacefulness and warmheartedness to your homes,
parishes, and where ever you live your life. I am your Mother, the Queen of Peace.
