Let’s Roll

The Spirit of Rebellion against God has seduced humanity; atheism has entered into so many souls and has completely extinguished the light of faith and love. This is the Red Dragon spoken of in the Bible. Read it, my sons, because the present times are those of its realization! How many of my children are already victims of this error of Satan!Even among my priests how many there are who no longer believe; and yet, they still remain in my Church, true wolves in sheep’s clothing, and they are bringing to ruin a countless number of souls!

Blue Book #28 e-g

Especially in the last decades this divisiveness has entered the heart of religious orders, both female and male, and into the priesthood and the dioceses. It has entered into the family. It has entered into the children.Listen. Can you hear the breakup of the world? The pollution extends not only into the earth and the river and the air, but the very heart of humanity is in danger of being totally polluted. It ceases to be little. It ceases to be childlike. It ceases to be simple and poor.

The attacks of the enemy are getting fierce, what can we do? You may be surprised to find out that it’s actually the opposite of what we would first be inclined to do. Our impulse is to puff ourselves up and want to show everyone how strong and right we are, ‘we are at battle get out of my way’ becomes our cry. The internet is full of well meaning warriors.

The real answer however is the opposite. Jesus tells us that the battle is His. So what we need to do is be ever more docile … be little, poor and childlike. Be easily led by the Holy Spirit to do as He asks, not as our own impulses dictate. Embrace our crosses…if He’s allowing it, then He can bring good out of it. Satan crushing kind of good. We gather with Mary at her heal as her little docile cohort and together we crush Satan’s head.

How to Have Your Deepest Desires Fulfilled

I want all the priests of my Movement to rely on me as little children. They must no longer think of themselves; I want to take care of them myself. I will grant all their requests and satisfy their deepest desires.

Blue Book #27a

I pray that you will live that spirit of detachment, of non-possession. Let there be poverty and simplicity in the hearts of us all!

Grace in Every Season (February 5)

When we start truly living this way of unity with Christ, (abiding deep in the Immaculate Heart of Mary), we become less preoccupied with ourselves and start thinking more and more about those around us, knowing that God will provide for our own needs as we step out in faith. He never fails.

What fails us is our selfish pursuits and grabbing for our piece of the pie, and feelings of entitlement that it produces and it has this world in a tail spin.

So why is Our Blessed Mother saying that all our desires will be met? Isn’t that a prosperity gospel? Lol. Well… when your desires are aligned with God’s… then it’s true … your deepest desires are always fulfilled… because you know that it all comes from His hand for our greater good… so we want it all, even what the world sees as not a good. Some may even look at our lives in pity, but they can’t see the joy and peace we’re living in… and it’s not nice to boast. 😉

There’s Work to be Done

I want every priest of my Movement and every priest who has consecrated himself to me to pray, suffer and work in order to bring me back once again into the midst of my faithful.

Blue Book #25 a

Arise and Go!” Those three little words mean you cannot lie down on your job. You must stand up! And, standing up, you cannot remain still, except in your soul; you must be about his business. You should be both active and contemplative, both Martha and Mary. Make no mistake; the stillness of Mary is an even bigger “action” than the action of Martha. It is important to be before the Lord, and then to do for him; we are to be contemplatives in action. And so your life is a constant “arising, and a constant going Both actions are concerning your Father’s business and that of your tremendous Lover, Jesus Christ.

Grace in Every Season (February 4)

I tried to teach my kids from an early age about how we are to ‘pray and obey’… but what does that actually mean? It means that we first go to Him in prayer and receive enlightenment on what we need to do about the situation that we have brought before Him.

However much of our ‘doing’ doesn’t require this type of ‘marching orders’ or divine enlightenment … once we get used to living a life of prayer, not just saying our prayers, we start to get a sense of the Father’s Will. I know that if I have dishes in the sink and there are no other urgent situations, then those need to be tackled first, because that’s how I serve my family.

So I start with the ordinary… what around me needs doing. Then I tackle ‘pain points’… what needs do I see within my circle of influence that I can do something about. You can’t really intrude into other peoples lives without being invited in though ( not even those closest to you, unfortunately), think of how God acts in our own lives. But be there, and make them aware of your love.

Also check in on your own ‘pain points’, what’s something that you have been praying about in your own life, maybe a health issue, or financial issue… don’t just ask for the Lord to take the problem away ask what steps you can take… are there any sins in your life that have lead to this painful situation? You’ll be amazed at what He’ll show you.

Then be ready to ‘suffer’ because letting go of our own will, can be very painful for a while. But this is embracing our cross, and helping others with theirs. This is how we bring Jesus back into the world, people aren’t so ready to listen to words anymore… there’s too much of that out there already. But this… works of faith… it’s so needed.

Be the Light

They must let themselves be formed by me, as little children, with much trust and abandonment! Then through them the light of the Gospel will shine anew in this world so filled with darkness.This is the task of my priests: to be this light in the great darkness which will be spread over the whole earth, because through them and in them I will be present in the midst of my children, during the great purification, in order to save them in the decisive hours.

Blue Book #22 m-o

Little- -be always little! Be simple… poor… childlike. Preach the Gospel with your life, without compromise! Listen to the Spirit, He will lead you. Do little things exceedingly well for love of Me. Love… love… love… never counting the cost. Go into the marketplace and stay with Me.Pray, fast… Pray always… fast. Be hidden. Be a light to your neighbor’s feet. Go without fears into the depth of men’s hearts. I shall be with you.

Grace in Every Season (February 3)

In order for God to use us to change the world, we need to be changed from deep within ourselves first. This is not a change that we can muster on our own, because the changes required are so contrary to this society we live in, and all that we’ve ever known, that we often can’t even fully grasp our own deficits. But God does… and Jesus entrusts His Mother to work with the Holy Spirit to perfect us.

This is where being child like comes in. Throughout the Blue Book, Our Blessed Mother calls this willingness to listen to God’s will and act on it as ‘docility’.

This can only be accomplished when we’ve gotten our own will out of the way. When there’s truly ‘less of me and more of Him’. That’s when His light will shine through us, to brighten up our own little corner of this darkened world… right where we are.

Novena to Surrender to Jesus

Being Gently Lead to Perfection

Gently will I lead you to that perfection which is pleasing to my Heart, and little by little I will transform you into a very faithful image of my Son Jesus.

Blue Book #22e

He who seeks Christ without Mary seeks him in vain. Christ said, “I am the Way” But the gate to the Way is Mary. All that we do, we do through Mary. We can dedicate ourselves utterly to her Son, because it is she who shows us the Way.

Grace in Every Season (February 2)

Mary tells us ‘do whatever He says’. But that is not all, she does not leave us alone after that. Her will is so utterly bound with His, that she can help us discern what it is that He’s telling us, and can prepare us for the assignment.

A consecration to Mary is not just another prayer, it is a request from us to enter into her school of Motherly guidance. And she always says yes.

I’ve been Catholic for my entire life (59 years), and very involved in the church through a good chunk of it. It wasn’t until being blessed with the Marian Movement of Priests and the daily reading of the messages (through personal cenacles), did things really start to come together. The lessons have been intense and truly life altering. The perfection that she’s leading us to, is Union with the Holy Trinity!

To Love and to Suffer

This, my beloved priests, is what it means to be consecrated to me: it means to live for me; it means to perceive things as I do, to love and to suffer with me in preparation for the great moments that are awaiting you.

Blue Book 21v

You have only today. Only this moment to be obedient unto death. Only this moment to burn with a fire that knows neither beginning nor end. Only this moment to spill yourself out in service to neighbor. For you must prove to your beloved that you love him. Words are not enough!

Grace in Every Season (February 1)

Suffering inevitably comes to everyone’s life, in one form or another. It’s how we look at it and what we do with it, how much love we put into it, that makes the difference.

Mother Teresa used to say, “I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love.”

Becoming Little Again

To those who have fallen I will give a new purity; I will call them to a second and more beautiful innocence of repentance and love.

Blue Book #21t

We crave greatness for our lives, and God asks us to become little. To pass through the door that leads to the kingdom, we must go down on our knees. Paradoxically, if we do so, we will find ourselves growing in stature, for “eye has not seen and ear has not heard what God has reserved for those who love him.

Grace in Every Season (January 31)

In today’s Gospel of Matthew we hear how “The disciples approached Jesus and said, “Who is the greatest in the Kingdom of heaven?”
He called a child over, placed it in their midst, and said, “Amen, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will not enter the Kingdom of heaven.
Whoever humbles himself like this child
is the greatest in the Kingdom of heaven
.”

Humility, innocence, purity, docility, all things that are very oppositional to what the world considers great because we live in a fallen world, and the trap has been set deep and wide. It’s almost impossible to escape, and hardly any do, not completely.

So what’s the answer? Are we too far gone, with no hope of return? Absolutely not! In the Blue Book, Our Blessed Mother tells her fallen children, that if we entrust ourselves to her Immaculate Heart, and allow her in humility and docility to lead us into a greater Union with Jesus a resplendent transformation will take place within us.

Willingness to Be Fools for Christ

You have not understood, my son, that I have chosen foolishness to confound wisdom, and weakness to vanquish strength.

Blue Book #19 a

Foolishness for Christ’s sake is a change of heart, your heart and my heart, from within, not from without. Don’t kid yourself. Nothing that you think will change you from without is going to change you. Only that which comes from the very heart of you, the very entrails of you, so to speak, will change the world. And the world needs to be changed. Now! Today!

Grace in Every Season (January 30)

Mother Angélica used to say that “unless you are willing to do the ridiculous, God will not do the miraculous”. We are called to be fools for Christ because that’s where humility lies. This willingness to do the outrageous needs to come from within, from an intimate relationship with the Lord and all of heaven, and a clear understanding of His will that comes from a Sacramental Life that is grounded in His Word and lived out in His Presence.

As we live this great intimacy out in our day to day lives He will be guiding and directing us, often with His Mother’s help, and as we step into His grace and receive enlightenment from the Holy Spirit we get the strength and assurance required for the journey ahead, regardless of who else is against us or what crosses we will find in the way… we know that as we give it all to Him, our weaknesses, and uncertainties… He covers us with His own strength.

Calling All Catholics

Your weak faith and your lack of confidence in me grieve me, my son. What is it you dread? Whom are you afraid of? Pray and abandon yourself to me. Let it be really I alone who act.

Blue Book #19c

I long to rest upon the hearts of those who are my own. But I find them too busy to stop and give me rest. They say they are busy about my business or that of my Father, but what a lie!

Grace in Every Season

Keep Holy the Sabath! That’s not just one of the precepts of the Catholic Church, it’s straight out of the Bible. It’s THAT important. God didn’t just arbitrarily pick rules just to burden us, on the contrary, He created us and knows exactly what we need. And our biggest need is Him.

Imagine for a second if all who call themselves Catholic just took their faith seriously. Wow… we could change the world. There isn’t a whole lot asked of us actually. The church just points out the bare minimum, and then allows the Holy Spirit to take it from there. These are just boundaries which without, your soul is in serious threat. Learn them, teach them to to your kids… teach them to all those you love.

The five precepts of the Catholic Church are:

  • Attend Mass on Sundays and days of obligation.
  • Confess your sins at least once a year.
  • Receive the Eucharist at least once a year.
  • Observe days of fasting and abstinence.
  • Provide for the needs of the Church.

Marian Cenacles as Answer to Loneliness

Do not be worried about the first meeting tomorrow. I will arrange everything. The priests whom I want here… are already on their way. The meeting will be a wonderful occasion for all, and I will give so very much joy to each one. My priests will receive a special grace which will transform their whole lives.

The Blue Book #18e

Loneliness is hunger for Union with a perfect being, i.e., God…

Aloneness is man-made. Some are alone because they flee from reality or withdraw from life. This is a pathological aloneness, as is also the aloneness of a shy person; but mostly aloneness stems from not knowing that God loves us, or from accepting this truth with great difficulty. Also, we don’t love ourselves as we should, or our neighbor as we must. Then it is hard for us to dedicate ourselves to a cause, even to God. We spend part of our time in daydreaming and imagining an ideal partner, a friend, a lover, a husband, a wife, who will “understand” us; but we make no steps toward understanding others.

Grace in Every Season (January 29)

We were not meant to live our faith out alone. Yet the way our society has spun out of control, that’s exactly what many of us feel regardless of how many ‘friends’ we have on Facebook.

Our Blessed Mother knows what her children are facing and the dangers that come with this level of loneliness. She addresses her sons the priests in the Blue Book. But these messages were meant for them to put into practice themselves and then pass on to the laity that they have been put in charge of feeding. But she then includes the laity as part of her little flock too.

So her answer to this great loneliness are the cenacles. Parish cenacles…but perhaps just as important the family home cenacles… where entire families of all ages gather with their friends and can support each other in growing in faith and from there welcome the unchurched in their own lives to come to know Jesus and His church by what they are experiencing, and thereby evangelizing their little corner of the world.

She constantly asks throughout the book for more and more cenacles. They don’t have to be large, in fact sometimes two people in prayer can delve deeper into the heart of Mary and Jesus… and that’s the whole point.

We just need to be willing. She’s the one that sets them up. She brings her own people together in ways that we can’t imagine. I’ve experienced this myself. Then she feeds us … giving us each exactly what we need along with the special gifts of joy and life changing grace!

Our Lady’s Promises Given To Fr. Gobbi Concerning Family Cenacles
  1. She will help them live the sanctity of matrimony, principally to remain united and to be faithful, to live the sacramental character of the family union.
  2. She desires to help the children of these families. Among many young people there is the danger of losing the faith, following the path of evil, of vice, of drugs. Our Blessed Mother promises that as a mother she will be at their side to help them grow in goodness and to save them.
  3. She will always be near in all their spiritual as well as material needs.
  4. During the period of difficulties, she will protect these families, sheltering them under her mantle. For this reason, she invites families to multiply throughout the world these cenacles of prayer.
