Message from Our Lady Queen of Peace to Edson Glauber

Peace be with you!

Dear children, hurry up. Help me to save the souls that are in danger of going to hell, because of this cursed party that is the carnival. I need your help, little children, but you pray very little. Few are the times that you pray with your heart.

You must go deeper every day into praying the Holy Rosary.

Children, I am coming to the world every day to call you to conversion and repentance, because if you do not sincerely repent of your sins, I will not be able to prevent the great sorrows, which may befall the whole world, especially here in Brazil, which I have revealed in secret to this my little child, whom I serve as an instrument.

Children, be converted. Open your hearts to the Lord, my Divine and Beloved Son Jesus Christ. Pray, pray, pray! I need your prayers very, very, very much. The world offends the Lord so much, and I, your Mother, no longer know what to say to call them to conversion. In so many ways, I have manifested Myself all over the world. Since Lourdes , when I appeared to my little daughter Bernadette, I have come tirelessly to the world, to ask them to do penance for the conversion of poor sinners, but I have not been heard. Then in so many places I have been manifested:¹ Fatima, Montichiari, Ghiaie di Bonate, Amsterdam, Banneaux, Fontanelle, Akita, Kibeho and many more in Medjugorje , where for more than thirteen years I have been revealed.

Why is this, my children? To save you from the mire of sin. To prepare you to receive my Son Jesus, who is already coming. But why do you remain so deaf to these maternal appeals of mine? Why do they refuse to listen to everything that I speak to them. I, who am the Mother of God, Pure and Without Stain, Conceived from my immaculate Conception without sin, tell you: I do not live without God. God for me is everything. My Son Jesus is my life, my everything. And you little children who are sinners and who easily fall into sin, you think that you can live totally without God, who is your Everything. No, my children! No one can live without God. Those who turn away from my Son Jesus Christ, who is their God, be sure, they are walking towards their eternal damnation.

Pray, little ones, for the people who do not believe in God and who deny His Fatherly Love and Mercy.

Little children, never stop loving my Son Jesus, because He loves you with a love that is infinite. Jesus wants very, very much to save you from this world of sin, but you must first say your yes to him, so that afterwards, he can act in your lives.

Little children, today Jesus asks you to be very persevering. Do not be saddened, when you see many of my beloved children, people of your own acquaintance, betraying my Son Jesus. Know that this is because you are living the decisive moments of the great battle between Me, the Woman clothed with the Sun, who fights against the red dragon, which is our enemy. This is why many are turning away from the true faith, because apostasy has entered the interior of the Church. And many of those who are weak in prayer, allow themselves to be deceived by Satan. Don't give in, little children! Pray the most holy rosary and you will overcome every temptation of discouragement. Be firm in what you believe. I, the Queen of Peace and Lady of the Holy Rosary, tell you that I am at your side to help you through all the difficulties you will encounter on your earthly journey.

I take all your requests and I present them tonight to my Son Jesus, so that He may answer them and deign to shower His graces upon each one of you. Thank you, little children, for your prayers.

Dear young people I love you and all of you I have within my Immaculate Heart.

Dear young people, I need your help very much. If you want, and if the answer is yes, I tell you: pray the rosary every day and love my Son Jesus, and you will already be doing great wonders for me. I bless you all: in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

(¹) It was the second time that the Virgin mentioned this name: Ghiaie di Bonate, telling me that she had appeared in this place. I don't know what she wants, but this place should be known more and more, because this is the will of God and the Virgin.

Kibeho (1981 -1989) is in Africa, a locality located in the prefecture of Mubuga, 30 kilometers from Butare and 35 kilometers from Gikongoro in Rwanda. Until 1981 there were no known apparitions of the Virgin Mary in Africa. Kibeho inaugurates the first significant and officially recognized public apparitions.

The site, where the Marian apparitions began in 1981, is not only a national, but also an international pilgrimage goal. According to the account of the seers, the Virgin introduced herself in the local language as "Nyina wa Jambo," meaning "Mother of the Word," inviting conversion, prayer, and fasting. On one occasion, she showed shocking images: a river of blood, people killing each other, and abandoned corpses with no one to bury them. In the following years, the terrible vision was related to the genocide that convulsed Rwanda between 1994 and 1995; Kibeho was one of the bloodiest scenes of that tragedy.

The apparitions began on November 28, 1981, and concluded on November 28, 1989. "Both dates are considered an important historical reference for all those who wish to know about the Kibeho apparitions with their message," adds the statement signed by Father Eugène Dushimurukundo, chancellor of this Rwandan diocese.

The Catholic Church officially recognized these apparitions on June 29, 2001, after years of study by two commissions - medical and theological - that the local bishop established, the Holy See's Missionary Congregation recalls: "Yes, the Virgin Mary appeared in Kibeho on the day of November 28, 1981 and in the course of the following months. There are better reasons to believe than to deny." Stated the local bishop.

The apparitions to three seers were declared valid: Alphonsine Mumureke, Nathalie Mukamazimpaka and Marie Claire Mukangango.
