Feast of the Revelation of the Holy Medal of Peace

Message from Saint Catarina de Ricci

Marcos beloved of the Lord. I am CATARINE OF RICCI. Yes, I am with you! I love you very much! I am by your side constantly all the time, to help you grow in God's Love.

You love the Mother of God and you love the Lord not for His gifts, nor for His graces. You love them more than your own life and that is why Heaven favors you so much! You have chosen between you and Heaven. And you have preferred Heaven! You chose between your will and the Divine Will, and you chose the Divine Will. Yes! You chose between loving God and loving yourself; and you chose to love God, forgetting yourself, emptying yourself of yourself.

That is why Heaven is with you! That is why heaven is with you. That is why you are for heaven and heaven is for you.

Come, dear Mine! Let Me use You, to communicate to these My brothers and sisters how great is the Goodness and Mercy of the Lord and how much He and His Mother have favored them in this blessed and Sacred Place of the Apparitions, which for Us in Heaven is more precious and dear than all the rest of the world! Dear brothers and sisters, one is existence, the brief existence of the human being here on Earth, is not enough, for the soul to understand one thousandth of what it is, the ocean of the Goodness and Mercy of the Lord.

Therefore, for all eternity, the soul that has loved the Lord, the soul that has understood the Goodness of the Lord and has given itself totally to it, will spend all eternity in Heaven; knowing, drinking, enjoying the immense and inexhaustible communication of the knowledge of the Goodness of God, of His Love, of His Beauty, of His Goodness.

This is the state of the souls well ventured there, in Paradise, where I come from! We know the Goodness of GOD without veils! We know Him without any deficiency of Our ability to understand, We love what we know; without obstacle, without obstacle*, without deficiency, without delay, without indisposition! For that which was of the world remained in the world, and that which is of Heaven went to Heaven, that is, Love. eternal Love! Which is the only thing that is truly from Heaven and which the soul takes from this earth when it leaves. This Love makes us know God and makes us love Him with perfection, with promptness, with readiness and with the beauty that only the state of eternal bliss grants to the soul who has loved the Lord with all his heart on this earth!

To this same state of bliss, you are called and invited here today. Yes, by the path of prayer, penance, love, forgetfulness of yourself and total consecration of your person to God and the Mother of God, you will reach this state; when then without veils you will know God and without any imperfection you will love the Lord, with a burning love of the very Seraphim and Cherubim of Paradise!

If you, my beloved brethren, forget yourselves here on earth, if you give yourself completely to the Lord; then He will give you His Love, because God gives His Love to the soul, as it desires to know Him, love Him and correspond to Him.

Many souls were called to this state, but did not want to. because they preferred to give their love to creatures, or even to reconcile two irreconcilable things: God's Love and the love of the world. They wanted the two loves, God and the world, to live together in themselves; that is why the soul deluded and deceived itself and lost the Love of God, did not possess Him, did not know Him, was not completely taken by Him; for Our Lord Himself said in the Gospel:

'You cannot serve two masters, God and the world, God and riches, God and yourself; for either you will love the first and despise the second, or you will love the second and despise the first.

Therefore, my beloved brothers! Lest you lose the Great Good, the Supreme Good, which is the Love of God, which is God himself. BELIEVE YOURSELVES with yourselves and never let your soul be divided and really want to make the two loves opposite that of God and that of the world reconcile in you, for that is impossible!

If you, on the contrary, prefer the Love of God. open your heart to the Grace of GOD, then it will come into you and accomplish great things in you, great fruits of holiness. And then you will sing as Our Queen and Most Holy Mary sang:

'The Lord has done great things in me, He, whose Name is Holy.

Divine Grace is standing before your hearts, hoping that you will completely empty yourselves and your will, so that it can find space and enter. If you empty yourselves, it will come in, take all your heart, fill it all: with light, with love, with knowledge of God, of His Law, of His Will. It will fill you with a holy fire that will consume all your souls with love for God and will transform you, into true living copies of divine perfection, into pure reflections of the light and holiness of the Lord!

I am here, I love you all! I want you all! And I want to help you to be great saints. Know that many of you were entrusted to me by the Lady at the beginning of the Apparitions already from here, so that I would take care of you, so that I would draw you here. That I might preserve you and defend your faith, your love; that I might strengthen your perseverance. And I have the Mission to help you to fulfill all the Messages of the Sacred Hearts Here and to be great and worthy Saints, for the greater Glory of the Lord, for the greater good of you and of all humanity.

Therefore, let yourselves be led docilely by Me, towards the holiness and perfection that the Lord wants from you and to which He has called you.

Continue to pray all the prayers that the Sacred Hearts have given you here. Be firm! Persevere! The Warning is near, the Punishment is near and those who are not in God's grace will even repent of being born, so great will be the torments that will fall upon them, in an instant, when GOD says BASTA! And to purify this world from its present crimes and sins, among them the worst of all: disobedience, indifference and the denial of the Apparitions and Messages of the SACRED Hearts.

Hold the Rosary, pray, meditate the Messages! Dedicate time to reading and meditating on the Messages. the devil achieves many victories over you, because you do not meditate. The devil disorients you, confuses you, drags you along with his threads of temptations and illusions so easily, because you do not read, because you do not meditate on the Messages given to you here.

MEDITATION! MEDITATE! MEDITATE!

Meditation is now, your Salvation Tablet, the only thing that can keep you burning in prayer, firm in the service of God, constant in obedience, impertérritos** in the service of Our Lord.

I am with you! I want to help you, I will help that soul who asks Me and who lets himself be led by Me.

To all, I now bless you abundantly".
