Cenacles of Life

34. Cenacles of life with Me

January 17, 1974
“‘When two or three are gathered in my name, I am there in the midst of them‘; thus spoke my Son Jesus. When two or more Priests of my Movement are gathered together on my account, I also am in the midst of them. I manifest myself to them and through them, especially when these Priests are joined in prayer. It is therefore necessary that these Priests of my Movement begin to meet each other and to gather together. It is not necessary that they come together in great numbers: even two or three are enough. These gatherings must constitute real and true Cenacles.

Now that my Movement of Priests is spreading everywhere, these Cenacles must be multiplied.
There is no need of organisation: everything should be simple, spontaneous, quiet and fraternal. Where two or more Priests of my Movement come together because of Me, there is the Cenacle.
In the Cenacle, there were the Apostles with Mary, the Mother of Jesus. In these Cenacles, I want the Priests of my Movement to be gathered with Me, the Mother of Jesus, and a Mother most especially for them.

The purpose of the Cenacles: Why do I want them to come together in Cenacles with Me?

-To remain with Me: so that I myself can nourish and form them, and cause them to grow in perfect consecration to Me; so that they may truly be my Priests alone, and in them and through them I may once again manifest myself

-Above all to pray with Me: when my Priests pray, united with each other and with Me, how efficacious is their prayer! For it is then that I myself accomplish in them my maternal task of interceding before God for all my children.

Let them be united among themselves and with Me in the celebration of Holy Mass, in the recitation of the Liturgy of the Hours, and in praying the Holy Rosary. This is my prayer! The Rosary is the weapon that I give to these children of mine to fight the great approaching battles which await them.

–To love each other and to live in true brotherhood in the company of their Mother. It is necessary today that my Priests know each other, that they help each other, that they truly love one another, that they be as brothers brought together by their Mother.

There is today too much loneliness, too much abandonment for my Priests!…. I do not want them to be alone: they must help each other, love each other, they must all feel as-and really be-brothers.

-To await the decisive moments which are drawing ever closer. The time is near when some of my poor Priest-sons, tricked and seduced by Satan, will come out in the open and set themselves against my Son, against Me, against the Church and the Gospel.

Then the cohort of my Priests, prepared and led by Me, are to come forth into the open to proclaim with courage and before everyone the Divinity of my Son, the reality of all my privileges, the necessity of the hierarchical Church united to, and under the leadership of, the Pope, and all the truths contained in the gospel! Many Priests, uncertain and, as it were, overwhelmed by the tempest, will follow your example and return along the road of salvation. For the present, prepare yourself with Me during this time of waiting.

Let your gatherings be true Cenacles of life with Me, of prayer, of brotherhood, and of waiting

Catechism of the Catholic Church

949 In the primitive community of Jerusalem, the disciples “devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, to the breaking of the bread and the prayers.”⁴⁸²

Communion in the faith. The faith of the faithful is the faith of the Church, received from the apostles. Faith is a treasure of life which is enriched by being shared.
