Message from Our Lady Queen of Peace to Edson Glauber in Itapiranga, AM, Brazil

Peace be with you!

Dear children, I am the Mother of God, your Mother and the Queen of Peace.

Pray the Rosary every day for the peace of the world and for the end of the war. Peace, peace, peace! The world needs peace. Pray a lot for peace. Jesus is the Prince of Peace and I, His Mother, am the Queen of Peace.

I pour special graces on each of you this evening. Listen to my appeals. Live my messages. This city is very dear to me (Itapiranga). I chose this city to give you my messages, to invite you to prayer and conversion.

Here in Itapiranga I wish to spread my love and peace over all my children. I am their Mother and I love them very much. Pray, pray, pray. The world needs a lot of prayer.

Open your hearts to Jesus. Love my Son Jesus very much. He loves you with a great love.¹ Pray for those who do not love him and who do not accept his divine love by denying it.

(¹) "And we who believe acknowledge the love that God has for us. 'God is love: whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him' (1Jn 4:16).

" He loved me and gave himself up to death for me" (Gal 2:20). There, then, is the term of love: to give oneself, to be transformed entirely into the one one one loves. Love makes us leave ourselves and transports us, in ineffable ecstasy, to the bosom of the beloved" . Albert the Great ( In union with God), but which actually belongs to a Benedictine monk Johannes Von Kastl. (Cf. OC-t.Ib C 194, n. 5 [N. of T.].

(²) Jesus communicated to men the message of salvation, the will of God; he revealed the mysteries and the supernatural order; he spoke of individual and social life; of eternity, death and judgment; he restored the values of existence; he dethroned selfishness and pride, elevating altruism, charity and humility; he put down hedonism by proclaiming the way of the cross. This teaching - divine and infallible - Jesus did not leave to the discretion and indifference of men, but solemnly imposed it as a condition for tender salvation. The Evangelist Mark is explicit: "Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved. Whoever does not believe will be condemned." (Mk 16:16).

There is no middle ground: one must believe all of his teachings and put into practice all the moral law.
