Saint Carlo Acutis’ last words to his mother were deeply moving: “Mom, don’t be afraid. Since Jesus became a man, death has become the passage towards life, and we don’t need to flee it.”

According to the private revelations attributed to Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich, Mary’s birth was surrounded by extraordinary joy. She described St. Anne holding the newborn Mary as the room filled with light and the angels rejoiced before God. Emmerich also saw Mary presented before the Most Holy Trinity in Heaven, while the heavenly host celebrated the child who would one day become the Mother of the Savior. She even described the patriarchs awaiting redemption rejoicing, especially Adam and Eve, because God’s promise of salvation was drawing closer to fulfillment. And creation itself seemed to celebrate. Birds sang, lambs leaped, and doves gathered in great numbers as if nature knew something holy had happened. These beautiful details come from private revelation and are not required Catholic belief, but they point us toward the mystery the Church celebrates on September 8. Mary entered the world quietly. Yet through her future “yes” to God, Jesus Christ would enter ours. ❤️🔥 Happy Birthday, Mama Mary! 🌹 💬 What does the birth of the Blessed Virgin Mary mean to you personally? 🔁 Share this so more Catholics can discover the beautiful story of Mary’s birth and the visions attributed to Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich. Our faith is full of treasures like this that deserve to be remembered and passed on.
Our Lady herself revealed to St. Dominic and Blessed Alan de la Roche profound promises for those who recite her Rosary with devotion. These are treasures of the Church's living tradition, encouraging us to hold fast to this powerful prayer. Through the Rosary: ✅ You receive the particular graces you ask for, along with Our Lady’s special protection—and even greater graces that God pours out upon you, including those you did not ask for. ✅ It becomes a powerful armor against hell, destroying vice, delivering from sin, and dispelling heresy. It makes virtue flourish and draws hearts from the love of the world to the love of God and eternal things. ✅ Those who trust in her through the Rosary shall not perish, and at the hour of death, they will be refreshed with the light of God and the plenitude of His graces. Many souls are sanctified by this means! Blessed Alan de la Roche received heavenly visions urging the revival of the Rosary. Our Lord and Our Lady appeared to him, teaching its immense value in converting sinners, comforting the afflicted, and bringing souls closer to Jesus. Pope St. John Paul II reminded us that the Rosary is a path of contemplation—we sit at the school of Mary, gazing on the face of Christ. It is simple yet profound, uniting vocal prayer with meditation on the Gospel mysteries. Through it, families find peace, the sick receive comfort, and the faithful grow in holiness. if you feel burdened, tempted, or distant from God — pick up your beads. Pray it faithfully, even if imperfectly. Our Lady finishes what we start with love. It changes hearts slowly but surely, drawing us into deeper union with Jesus. Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary, pray for us. Amen!
INSIDE THE TRADITIONAL BIRTHPLACE OF THE VIRGIN MARY ⤵️ Today, September 8, the Church celebrates the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the birthday of Mother Mary. Near the Pools of Bethesda and the beginning of the Via Dolorosa stands the Church of St. Anne, one of the best-preserved Crusader churches in Jerusalem and an important Catholic pilgrimage site in the Holy Land. For centuries, Christian tradition has honored this sacred place as the home of Saints Joachim and Anne, the parents of the Blessed Virgin Mary. But there is another reason pilgrims come here. Ancient Christian tradition also connects this area with the birth of the Virgin Mary. Before she held the Child Jesus, stood faithfully at the foot of the Cross, and gave God her complete “yes,” Mary was first a little girl raised by Saints Joachim and Anne. The present Church of St. Anne was built by the Crusaders in the 12th century over earlier Christian remains. After Saladin captured Jerusalem, the church was preserved and later used as a Muslim school. Today, Catholic pilgrims come to this Marian shrine to pray, sing, and reflect on Mary’s life. Beneath the church is an ancient stone grotto traditionally honored as the place of her birth. Think about that for a moment. On Mother Mary’s birthday, Christians around the world remember the beginning of the earthly life of the woman God chose to become the Mother of Jesus Christ. And Mary’s entire life points beyond herself to Him. 💬 If you could say one thing to Mother Mary on her birthday today, what would you tell her?
The devil said “no” to God. Mary’s whole life became a “yes.” ❤️🔥 Today, September 8, Catholics celebrate the birthday of the Blessed Virgin Mary. 🙏 Long before Mary held Jesus in her arms, stood beside His Cross, or became our spiritual mother, she entered the world as a little girl chosen for a unique place in God’s plan. Her birth was a sign that God was preparing the way for the coming of Jesus Christ. Years later, Mary would freely give God her humble “yes,” and through her, the Son of God would take on human flesh. Satan chose pride, rebellion, and self-will. Mary chose humility, obedience, and total surrender to God. Her “yes” stands as the complete opposite of his rebellion. Through her faithful obedience, Mary took part in God’s plan that would bring Jesus Christ into the world to defeat sin, death, and the devil. So today, take a moment to thank God for the gift of Our Lady. Pray a Rosary, ask for her intercession, or simply tell her: Happy Birthday, Mama Mary! ❤️🔥 Blessed Mother, pray for us and always lead us closer to your Son, Jesus. 💬 If you could give Mother Mary one birthday message today, what would you say to her? 🔁 Share this today as a small act of love for Our Lady and help remind someone else to honor the Mother of Jesus on her birthday. 🌹

What Padre Pio’s mother taught him to do when someone swore When Padre Pio was growing up, his mother taught him how to "repair" the damage done by swearing. His initial reaction would be to run away. Author C. Bernard Ruffin relates the following story in his book, Padre Pio: The True Story. 𝘞𝘩𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘢𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘣𝘰𝘺 𝘤𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘰𝘳 𝘴𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘦, 𝘍𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘪 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘳𝘶𝘯 𝘢𝘸𝘢𝘺. 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘢𝘮𝘦 𝘓𝘶𝘪𝘨𝘪 𝘖𝘳𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘰 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘥𝘦𝘴𝘤𝘳𝘪𝘣𝘦𝘥 𝘩𝘪𝘮 𝘢𝘴 “𝘢 𝘣𝘰𝘺 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘺 𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳,” 𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘰𝘯𝘤𝘦, 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘸𝘰 𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘸𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨, 𝘓𝘶𝘪𝘨𝘪 𝘭𝘦𝘵 𝘦𝘴𝘤𝘢𝘱𝘦 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘭𝘪𝘱𝘴 “𝘢 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯,” 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘶𝘱𝘰𝘯 𝘍𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘪, 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘩𝘢𝘥 𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘥 𝘩𝘪𝘮 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘨𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥, 𝘫𝘶𝘮𝘱𝘦𝘥 𝘶𝘱, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘧𝘭𝘦𝘥. Padre Pio's mother did not want her children to associate with other children who used foul language. Padre Pio interpreted that seriously and would run away from anyone who was swearing or cursing. At the same time, his mother also taught him to "repair" the damage done. 𝘉𝘦𝘱𝘱𝘢 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘣𝘢𝘥𝘦 𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥𝘳𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘰 𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘰𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘶𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘷𝘶𝘭𝘨𝘢𝘳 𝘰𝘳 𝘣𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘱𝘩𝘦𝘮𝘰𝘶𝘴 𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘶𝘢𝘨𝘦. 𝘐𝘯 𝘧𝘢𝘤𝘵, 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘴𝘩𝘦 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘥 𝘢𝘯𝘺𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘤𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦, 𝘴𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 “𝘳𝘦𝘱𝘢𝘪𝘳” 𝘪𝘵 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯, “𝘉𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘣𝘦 𝘎𝘰𝘥!” — 𝘢 𝘱𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘴𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘪𝘯 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥𝘳𝘦𝘯. As he grew older, Padre Pio stopped running away from people who swore, but likely tried to do his best to "repair" the damage of foul langauge. It's possible that he would have been tempted to use foul language as well, as many of us are tempted on a daily basis. He was human, just like us. Whatever may have happened later in his life, Padre Pio's mother can teach us all a lesson on how to respond positively when confronted with language that offends God.
Before the Hail Mary,there was this: The Oldest known prayer to the Mother of God. Prayed by early Christians during persecution. It's still powerful today. This isn't just a historical relic,it's a shield !. A cry for help the Church has never stopped praying... We fly to thy patronage, O Holy Mother of God. Despise not our petitions on our necessities, but deliver us always from all dangers, O glorious and blessed Virgin. Amen
I SMILE WITH FAVOR UPON MY REMNANT FAITHFUL "Please realize in the depths of your heart that all sin proceeds from a proud heart. Pride is a disordered self-love. The soul chooses sin because he loves the sin more than God and neighbor. Sin is self-serving, you see. The sins most prolific and wounding to My Heart of Love today are those sins against chastity, life and innocence. If all the sins of every generation were combined, the sins of this generation would still outnumber them. But My Love is patient and full of Mercy. I smile with favor upon My Remnant Faithful. They alone withstand My Wrath and hold back My Arm of Justice with the help of My Mother. The Holy Mass and the Holy Rosary together hold a great impact on the Scale of Justice. Devotion to Our United Hearts is third in this order of power against evil. The spirituality of the Chambers of Our United Hearts is great enough to pull the world back onto the path of righteousness. Therefore, along with the Rosary of the Unborn, propagate the little Chaplet of the United Hearts which will serve to lead many into the depths of these Chambers." - Jesus 9.7.2002 THANK YOU FOR COMING AND BELIEVING "Thank you for coming and for believing. Understand that this Holy Love Message I send My Mother to you with is part of My Mercy in these last days. Believe it. Live it." - Jesus 9.7.1998 THIS IS HOW TO CHANGE THE ATTITUDES OF THE WORLD "My brothers and sisters, it is very important that children are given the example of living in Holy Love by their parents. Thus, they will show them how to be understanding, forgiving, kind to one another. Compassion will be part of their upbringing and they will carry all these gifts and the essence of Holy Love into the community as adults. This is how to change the attitudes of the world." - St. Joseph 9.7.2014 HIGHLIGHT MESSAGES FOR THE DAY "I have come to ask those who hear these Messages on the Chambers of the United Hearts to stop judging the Messenger (Maureen Sweeney-Kyle) and to live the Message. Who among you, after all, deems himself worthy to receive such a Message. In Truth, no one is worthy. Yet, this Message has been freely given to the world through God's Love and Mercy. The choice He made as His Messenger--though seemingly unlikely--nevertheless was God's choice. If you want to know the Heart of God, listen to and follow these Messages that lead you into His Heart. If you wish to know how you will be judged for all eternity, read the Messages. If you wish to become a saint, adhere to these Messages until your heart is one with them. No one can truly follow this Spiritual Journey without being drawn into the Divine Will of God, and without being drawn into a deeply sacramental life. Look past any flaws you perceive in God's choice as His Messenger. After all, God cannot be mistaken. Look past the lack of high-powered approvals that, in Truth, are not necessary for your belief in this Revelation. In the future when approvals come, you will have missed a golden opportunity to become holy--even a saint." - St. Thomas Aquinas 9.7.2002 "My brothers and sisters, the reason I continue to come here is that through these Messages of Holy and Divine Love, I desire to establish within each heart a new kingdom, the Kingdom of the New Jerusalem and of My Father's Divine Will. In this way, victory will be imminent." - Jesus 9.7.2007 "My brothers and sisters, surrender your hearts to the Divine Will of My Eternal Father, thereby trusting in His Provision, which is All-Powerful and All-Embracing; then fear nothing but only trust, and you will see how you will be at peace." - Jesus 9.7.2010
Genom att skapa Jungfrun skapade Gud förlåtelse.

I Matteusevangeliet läser vi: "Saliga är de barmhärtiga, ty de ska finna barmhärtighet." I de andra saligprisningarna innehåller Jesu löfte något mer: de som sörjer ska tröstas, de renhjärtade ska se Gud, fredsstiftarna ska kallas Guds barn ... .. Jesus lovar inget annat till de barmhärtige än det de redan lever: barmhärtighet. För Gud kunde inte ge mer till den barmhärtige, för barmhärtighet är Guds fullhet, barmhärtighet är mycket mer än en egenskap hos Gud, barmhärtighet är Guds egen existens.
Herren, en Gud barmhärtig och nådig, långsam till vrede och rik på orubblig kärlek och trofasthet" läser vi i Andra Moseboken
I Psalm 103 (Psalm 103:11 till 13) förundras psalmisten över Guds otroliga barmhärtighet: "Så högt som himlarna är över jorden, så stor är Guds barmhärtighet..."
"Ty hans barmhärtighet varar för evigt." Detta är refrängen som upprepas efter varje vers i Psalm 136.
"Gud är kärlek" (1 Joh 4:8.16)
Gud är den som tar hand om sina barn som sin ögonsten.
Skrifterna beskriver Gud för oss som Den som gömmer oss i skuggan av sina vingar.
Så, med utgångspunkt i sin kärlek ordnade Gud sin Sons inkarnation, död och uppståndelse för att återuppliva den degenererade mänskligheten. Ordet lydnad betydde att Han fullt ut delade sin kärlek. Ingen kunde fullfölja uppdraget fullt ut. Ingen kunde återställa människan utom Han, Ordet. För detta ändamål skapade Gud Jungfrun, och skapade också förlåtelse
Jesus uppenbarade för Luisa att den gudomliga fiaten i skapelsen visade Guds verksamma, kraftfulla och visa kärlek, på ett sätt som alla skapade ting var fulla av Guds kärlek, kraft och visdom och outsäglig skönhet. Istället gick Gud vidare till fler i skapelsen av den suveräna drottningen. Guds kärlek nöjde sig inte med att visa den, utan ville röra sig mot medlidande, till ömhet och till medkänsla, så djup och intim, som om den kanske ville förvandla sig själv till tårar för varelsernas kärlek. Se, hur Guds kärlek uttalade sig för att skapa Jungfru Maria och kalla henne till liv, skapade Han förlåtelse, barmhärtighet, försoning mellan Gud och mänskligheten, och Han lade förlåtelse i denna himmelska och heliga varelse, som förvaltare mellan Guds barn och hennes. Så att den Suveräna Damen har hav av förlåtelse, barmhärtighet, medlidande och tårfyllda hav av Guds kärlek, där alla generationer kan vara delaktiga, återfödda i dessa hav skapade i henne; av förlåtelse, av barmhärtighet och av en så öm medlidande att den mjukar upp de hårdaste hjärtan. det var rätt att allt kunde läggas i denna Celestial Moder, eftersom allt kunde anförtros henne, eftersom man måste besitta Guds Viljans rike. Hon ensam har tillräcklig plats för att kunna äga de hav som Gud skapat, men i denna suveräna fru möttes Guds kärlek inte av vägen, och därför visade hon så mycket och skapade så många underverk, till och med för att ge henne gudomlig fruktbarhet för att göra henne till Skaparens moder.
Så alla handlingar som Jungfru Maria utförde tillsammans med Jesus, skapade hav av kärlek och lyfte sina vågor ända till himlen – de fyllde allt, de skapade ett tätt regn över det gudomliga väsendet och så bar de allas kärlek, förfriskningen, balsamet som Gud blev sötad med, och han förvandlade rättvisa till kärlekens transporter till varelser.
Man kan säga att Guds kärlek återupplivade en ny kärlek till människofamiljen, och Gud älskade den med dubbel kärlek, men var? i drottningen och i hennes käre son.
"Utvald att vara Guds Sons moder, blev Maria från början förberedd av Guds kärlek att vara förbundets ark mellan Gud och människa." (Påve Franciskus - Misericordiae Vultus)
Om Gud skapade förlåtelse för att återställa människan är det för att Han önskar att människan ska återgå till sitt ursprungliga tillstånd, det vill säga att han blir helig.
Jesu ord: "Var barmhärtig såsom din Fader är barmhärtig" (Lukas 6:36) ekar det urgamla budet "Var helig såsom jag, Herren din Gud, är helig" (3 Mosebok 19:2). Jesus gav Guds helighet barmhärtighetens ansikte.
Gud uppmuntrar alltid människan att vara ny, underbar, strålande, ljus, Han uppmanar oss: "Gör er till ett nytt hjärta och en ny ande" (Hesekiel 18:31), men hur? Beundrar och efterliknar Honom som är "den nya dräkten", Jesus, den evige Faderns Son som gavs oss av Maria.
Genom att skapa förlåtelse avvisar Gud inte rättvisa, men Han går bortom rättvisa med barmhärtighet och förlåtelse. Detta betyder inte att man ska devalvera rättvisan eller göra den onödig. Tvärtom måste de som gör misstag avtjäna straffet, men detta är inte slutet utan början på omvändelsen eftersom vi upplever förlåtelsens ömhet.

Ann Ellison: Ett liv givet till den gudomliga viljan
9/8/2026Lämna en kommentar nedan
"Tillkomme ditt rike, ske din vilja, såsom i himlen så ock på jorden."
Dessa ord följde Ann genom hela hennes liv och inspirerade hennes outtröttliga ansträngningar att dela den gudomliga viljans andlighet. Idag anförtro vi Gud våra minnen, vår tacksamhet och våra böner för henne när hon återvänder till Faderns hus den 31 augusti 2026.
I mer än trettio år ägnade Ann Ellison sitt liv åt att lära sig om och dela skrifterna av Guds tjänare Luisa Piccarreta. Hennes uppdrag handlade om mycket mer än studier eller undervisning. Hon sökte göra det hon lärt känna till en väg att leva varje dag, satte den gudomliga viljan i centrum för sitt andliga liv och delade med andra skönheten i ett liv helt givet till Gud. De som mötte henne mötte en kvinna som var djupt passionerad över Luisas budskap, men framför allt någon som ville leva det och hjälpa andra att upptäcka dess rikedom.
Anns resa att upptäcka den gudomliga viljans sanningar blev djupt förbunden med Italien och, på ett särskilt sätt, med Corato, staden där Luisa föddes och bodde. 1994 deltog Ann i firandet av öppnandet av Luisas Saligförklaringssak, en upplevelse som stärkte hennes band med Luisa Piccarreta Association. Det var också under dessa år som en särskilt meningsfull vänskap utvecklades med syster Assunta Marigliano, som då var föreningens ordförande och som Ann förblev djupt fäst vid under hela sitt liv. Hon mindes alltid syster Assunta med stor tillgivenhet och tacksamhet, och såg i henne en moderlig närvaro för dem som började upptäcka den gudomliga viljans andlighet. Det bandet med Corato och med de människor som kände och älskade Luisa förblev en värdefull del av Anns resa genom åren.
I mitten av 1990-talet blev Anns tjänst också nära knuten till Luisa Piccarreta Center for the Divine Will i Jacksboro, Tennessee, grundat av Thomas Fahy. Hon anslöt sig till centrets personal och arbetade nära Tom och bidrog under många år till dess arbete med studier, formande och utåtriktad verksamhet. Från och med då fick hennes uppdrag en alltmer internationell dimension. Hon deltog i konferenser, retreater, sammankomster och utbildningsprogram, där hon förde Luisas andlighet till människor i många olika länder och följde otaliga individer som ville fördjupa sin förståelse av Luisas skrifter och deras mening för sina egna liv. Hon deltog också i viktiga internationella sammankomster tillägnade Luisa Piccarreta, och blev för många en betrodd och kunnig närvaro, samtidigt som hon alltid förblev varm, tillgänglig och tillgänglig.
I sin undervisning betonade Ann att kunskap om den gudomliga viljan aldrig kan förbli en fråga om ord eller studier; det måste bli ett liv levt med Gud. Särskilt talade hon ofta om vikten av att samarbeta med Jesus så att riket av den gudomliga fiaten skulle få allt större utrymme i själen. Detta var kärnan i hennes vittnesbörd: att hjälpa andra att förstå att den gudomliga viljan inte bara är något att lära sig om, utan ett liv att omfamna, en gåva att ta emot och en kärleksrelation att odla varje dag.
I mer än trettio år gav hon sin tid, energi och hjärta till detta uppdrag, övertygad om att det budskap som Jesus anförtrott Luisa kunde bringa ljus, frid och förnyelse till livet för dem som välkomnade det. Hennes apostolat tog många former—studier och undervisning, personliga möten, lyssnande och andligt ackompanjemang. Genom sina ord och sitt exempel uppmuntrade hon många att fortsätta sin andliga resa och söka livets fullhet i den gudomliga viljan.
Så här vill vi bevara hennes minne: i ljuset av det hon sökte leva och dela genom sitt vittnesbörd. Hon bar med sig en övertygelse som hon delade med så många av dem hon mötte: Guds vilja är liv, frid, glädje och harmoni.
Nu när Ann har fullbordat sin jordiska pilgrimsfärd anförtros vi hennes själ till Fadern med tacksamhet för gåvan i hennes liv, för hennes kärlek till Luisa Piccarreta och för allt hon planterat i hjärtat hos dem hon mötte. Hennes exempel är fortfarande en inbjudan till oss att fortsätta vår resa i den gudomliga viljan med självförtroende, och göra den bön som följde henne genom hela hennes liv till vår egen:
"Tillkomme ditt rike, ske din vilja, såsom i himlen så ock på jorden."
Fiat!

Today, September 8, 2026, we celebrate the birth of our Blessed Mother! ❤️🔥 Happy Birthday, Mama Mary! 🌹 God chose you for a beautiful mission, and your faithful “yes” helped bring Jesus, our Savior, into the world. And no matter where Mary has appeared in approved apparitions, it is always the same Mother. Our Lady of Guadalupe, Our Lady of Lourdes, Our Lady of Fátima, and the other titles we love all point to the same Blessed Virgin Mary, the Mother of Jesus and our spiritual mother. On your birthday, we honor you and ask you to keep leading us closer to your Son. Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death, Amen. 💬 If you could give Mama Mary one birthday message today, what would you say to her? 🌹💙 🔁 Share this post today as a small way to honor Mama Mary on her birthday and remind others how deeply loved our Blessed Mother is. 🙏
A shout of victory rises from the enemy, ...But no sooner is the Pope dead than another takes his place. “The captains of the auxiliary ships elected him so quickly that the news of the Pope’s death coincides with that of his successor’s election. The enemy’s self-assurance wanes. “Breaking through all resistance, the new Pope steers his ship safely between the two columns; first, to the one surmounted by the Host, and then the other, topped by the statue of the Virgin. ..." Prophetic dream of St Dom Bosco
The spirit of prophecy “In every age, men have been divinely instructed in matters pertaining to the salvation of the elect ... and in every age there have been people possessed by the spirit of prophecy, not for the purpose of proclaiming new doctrines, but of guiding human actions.” - St. Thomas Aquinas
Her answer to a suffering nation was just five words: “Pray the rosary every day.” Most Catholics have probably never heard this story. But in 1877, during a painful time in Poland’s history, two young girls said the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to them in the village of Gietrzwałd. Polish Catholics were living under Prussian rule. Their language was being restricted in schools, and their faith and culture were under growing pressure. Then something happened that deeply moved the people. The two visionaries, 13-year-old Justyna Szafryńska and 12-year-old Barbara Samulowska, said Mary spoke to them in Polish. For people who feared losing their language and identity, that detail carried enormous meaning. The apparitions began on June 27, 1877, and continued through September. The girls brought questions about suffering, the Church, and the troubles people were facing. Mary’s answer was simple: → “Pray the rosary, and your problems will be solved.” She also said: → “I wish you to recite the rosary every day.” She did not give them a political plan or some complicated new devotion. She pointed them back to prayer. That message spread, and pilgrims began coming to Gietrzwałd in large numbers. Many also visited the nearby spring connected with the apparitions, where reports of healings began to circulate among the faithful. A century later, in 1977, the local bishop formally approved the apparitions, making Gietrzwałd the only Marian apparition in Poland officially recognized by the Catholic Church. And maybe this is the part we should sit with. When fear, pressure, or uncertainty takes over, we usually look everywhere for an answer. But Our Lady kept pointing people back to the Rosary. 💬 So here’s the question: if you truly believed prayer could change more than you can see, would the Rosary have a bigger place in your life right now?
The Miracle Prayer Lord, Jesus, I come before You, just as I am. I am sorry for my sins, I repent of my sins, please forgive me. In Your name, I forgive all others for what they have done against me. I renounce Satan, the evil spirits and all their works. I give You my entire self. Lord Jesus, now and forever, I invite You into my life Jesus. I accept You as my Lord and Saviour. Heal me, change me, strengthen me in body, soul, and spirit. Come Lord Jesus, cover me with Your precious blood, and fill me with Your Holy Spirit, I love You, Jesus. I praise You, Jesus. I thank You, Jesus. I shall follow You every day of my life. Amen.
MIRACLE: Blessed Virgin Mary appears to Catholic child suffering from brain cancer and tells him "everything would be OK.” His large brain tumor later shrank to a small blip and doctors canceled surgery. https://lifesitenews.com/news/blessed-v
The Feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, one of the oldest Marian celebrations, underscores Mary’s unique role in salvation history as the one chosen to bear the Son of God. While Scripture does not explicitly record Mary’s birth, tradition holds that she was born to Saints Joachim and Anne, whose faith and righteousness prepared the way for her divine mission. The origins of this feast trace back to the early Church, with evidence of its celebration in Jerusalem by the 5th century, possibly linked to the dedication of a church near the Pool of Bethesda, believed to be near Mary’s birthplace. By the 7th century, the feast spread to Rome and became widely observed in the Western Church. It is celebrated exactly nine months after the Feast of the Immaculate Conception on December 8, which commemorates Mary’s conception without original sin, a dogma central to Catholic belief. Theologically, the Nativity of Mary is seen as a moment of hope, marking the dawn of salvation. Mary’s birth signifies God’s preparation for the Incarnation, as she would become the vessel through which Jesus entered the world. Her life of purity, humility, and obedience serves as a model for all the faithful, emphasizing her role as the “new Eve” who cooperates fully with God’s plan. The feast invites reflection on God’s providence and the importance of Mary’s fiat—her “yes” to God’s will. The Feast of the Nativity of Mary encourages Catholics to contemplate her unique place in God’s plan and to emulate her virtues. It serves as a reminder of the hope and grace that her birth brought to humanity, preparing the way for Christ’s redemptive mission. Through this celebration, the Church honors Mary as the Mother of God and a powerful intercessor with her Divine Son.
At just 21 years old, Valeria Valverde suffered a devastating brain hemorrhage following a serious bicycle accident in Italy.
Her mother went to Assisi and prayed before the tomb of Blessed Carlo Acutis, entrusting her daughter’s recovery to his intercession.
Valeria’s unexpected recovery and the disappearance of the hemorrhage were later recognized by the Church as a miracle attributed to Carlo Acutis.

Franciskusbönen
Herre,
gör mig till ett redskap för din fred.
Hjälp mig att bringa kärlek, där hatet gror,
tro där tvivlet råder,
hopp där förtvivlan härskar.
Hjälp mig att skänka förlåtelse
där oförrätt begåtts,
att skapa endräkt där oenighet söndrar,
att sprida ljus, där mörkret ruvar,
att bringa glädje, där sorgen bor.
Mästare, hjälp mig att söka
inte så mycket att bli tröstad som att trösta,
inte så mycket att bli förstådd som att förstå,
inte så mycket att bli älskad som att älska.
Ty det är genom att ge som vi får ta emot,
genom att förlåta som vi får förlåtelse,
genom att mista vårt liv som vi vinner det.
Det är genom döden som vi uppstår
till det eviga livet.
Denna bön är spridd över hela världen som ”Fredsbön av Franciskus av Assisi”. Den vackra bönen härstammar emellertid inte från Franciskus av Assisi. Den skrevs så sent som före första världskriget. I januari-numret av tidskriften ”Annales de Notre Dame de la Paix” 1913 publicerades för första gången, på franska, en bön av en icke namngiven författare med upplysningen om att de var hämtad från en broschyr med titeln ”La Clochette”. (Uppgifterna hämtade ur boken ”Bed med Franciskus. Böner av den helige Franciskus med källor och kommentarer av Hubert Hodzelmans, OFM. Bokförlaget Pro Veritate, Uppsala 1993)
The Birth of Mary Was No Ordinary Birth… ⤵️ 📅 Feast Day: September 8 🕯️ Event: Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary 📍 Location: Near Nazareth, according to the visions of Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich 🙏 Significance: The birth of Mary, Mother of Jesus Christ and Mother of the Church Every September 8, Catholics celebrate the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, honoring the birth of the woman God chose to become the Mother of Jesus. According to the private revelations attributed to Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich, Mary’s birth was surrounded by extraordinary joy. She described St. Anne holding the newborn Mary as the room filled with light and the angels rejoiced before God. Emmerich also saw Mary presented before the Most Holy Trinity in Heaven, while the heavenly host celebrated the child who would one day become the Mother of the Savior. She even described the patriarchs awaiting redemption rejoicing, especially Adam and Eve, because God’s promise of salvation was drawing closer to fulfillment. And creation itself seemed to celebrate. Birds sang, lambs leaped, and doves gathered in great numbers as if nature knew something holy had happened. These beautiful details come from private revelation and are not required Catholic belief, but they point us toward the mystery the Church celebrates on September 8. Mary entered the world quietly. Yet through her future “yes” to God, Jesus Christ would enter ours. ❤️🔥 Happy Birthday, Mama Mary! 🌹 💬 What does the birth of the Blessed Virgin Mary mean to you personally? 🔁 Share this so more Catholics can discover the beautiful story of Mary’s birth and the visions attributed to Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich. Our faith is full of treasures like this that deserve to be remembered and passed on.
Our Lady herself revealed to St. Dominic and Blessed Alan de la Roche profound promises for those who recite her Rosary with devotion. These are treasures of the Church's living tradition, encouraging us to hold fast to this powerful prayer. Through the Rosary: ✅ You receive the particular graces you ask for, along with Our Lady’s special protection—and even greater graces that God pours out upon you, including those you did not ask for. ✅ It becomes a powerful armor against hell, destroying vice, delivering from sin, and dispelling heresy. It makes virtue flourish and draws hearts from the love of the world to the love of God and eternal things. ✅ Those who trust in her through the Rosary shall not perish, and at the hour of death, they will be refreshed with the light of God and the plenitude of His graces. Many souls are sanctified by this means! Blessed Alan de la Roche received heavenly visions urging the revival of the Rosary. Our Lord and Our Lady appeared to him, teaching its immense value in converting sinners, comforting the afflicted, and bringing souls closer to Jesus. Pope St. John Paul II reminded us that the Rosary is a path of contemplation—we sit at the school of Mary, gazing on the face of Christ. It is simple yet profound, uniting vocal prayer with meditation on the Gospel mysteries. Through it, families find peace, the sick receive comfort, and the faithful grow in holiness. if you feel burdened, tempted, or distant from God — pick up your beads. Pray it faithfully, even if imperfectly. Our Lady finishes what we start with love. It changes hearts slowly but surely, drawing us into deeper union with Jesus. Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary, pray for us. Amen!
INSIDE THE TRADITIONAL BIRTHPLACE OF THE VIRGIN MARY ⤵️ Today, September 8, the Church celebrates the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the birthday of Mother Mary. Near the Pools of Bethesda and the beginning of the Via Dolorosa stands the Church of St. Anne, one of the best-preserved Crusader churches in Jerusalem and an important Catholic pilgrimage site in the Holy Land. For centuries, Christian tradition has honored this sacred place as the home of Saints Joachim and Anne, the parents of the Blessed Virgin Mary. But there is another reason pilgrims come here. Ancient Christian tradition also connects this area with the birth of the Virgin Mary. Before she held the Child Jesus, stood faithfully at the foot of the Cross, and gave God her complete “yes,” Mary was first a little girl raised by Saints Joachim and Anne. The present Church of St. Anne was built by the Crusaders in the 12th century over earlier Christian remains. After Saladin captured Jerusalem, the church was preserved and later used as a Muslim school. Today, Catholic pilgrims come to this Marian shrine to pray, sing, and reflect on Mary’s life. Beneath the church is an ancient stone grotto traditionally honored as the place of her birth. Think about that for a moment. On Mother Mary’s birthday, Christians around the world remember the beginning of the earthly life of the woman God chose to become the Mother of Jesus Christ. And Mary’s entire life points beyond herself to Him. 💬 If you could say one thing to Mother Mary on her birthday today, what would you tell her?
The devil said “no” to God. Mary’s whole life became a “yes.” ❤️🔥 Today, September 8, Catholics celebrate the birthday of the Blessed Virgin Mary. 🙏 Long before Mary held Jesus in her arms, stood beside His Cross, or became our spiritual mother, she entered the world as a little girl chosen for a unique place in God’s plan. Her birth was a sign that God was preparing the way for the coming of Jesus Christ. Years later, Mary would freely give God her humble “yes,” and through her, the Son of God would take on human flesh. Satan chose pride, rebellion, and self-will. Mary chose humility, obedience, and total surrender to God. Her “yes” stands as the complete opposite of his rebellion. Through her faithful obedience, Mary took part in God’s plan that would bring Jesus Christ into the world to defeat sin, death, and the devil. So today, take a moment to thank God for the gift of Our Lady. Pray a Rosary, ask for her intercession, or simply tell her: Happy Birthday, Mama Mary! ❤️🔥 Blessed Mother, pray for us and always lead us closer to your Son, Jesus. 💬 If you could give Mother Mary one birthday message today, what would you say to her? 🔁 Share this today as a small act of love for Our Lady and help remind someone else to honor the Mother of Jesus on her birthday. 🌹

What Padre Pio’s mother taught him to do when someone swore When Padre Pio was growing up, his mother taught him how to "repair" the damage done by swearing. His initial reaction would be to run away. Author C. Bernard Ruffin relates the following story in his book, Padre Pio: The True Story. 𝘞𝘩𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘢𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘣𝘰𝘺 𝘤𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘰𝘳 𝘴𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘦, 𝘍𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘪 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘳𝘶𝘯 𝘢𝘸𝘢𝘺. 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘢𝘮𝘦 𝘓𝘶𝘪𝘨𝘪 𝘖𝘳𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘰 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘥𝘦𝘴𝘤𝘳𝘪𝘣𝘦𝘥 𝘩𝘪𝘮 𝘢𝘴 “𝘢 𝘣𝘰𝘺 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘺 𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳,” 𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘰𝘯𝘤𝘦, 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘸𝘰 𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘸𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨, 𝘓𝘶𝘪𝘨𝘪 𝘭𝘦𝘵 𝘦𝘴𝘤𝘢𝘱𝘦 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘭𝘪𝘱𝘴 “𝘢 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯,” 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘶𝘱𝘰𝘯 𝘍𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘪, 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘩𝘢𝘥 𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘥 𝘩𝘪𝘮 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘨𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥, 𝘫𝘶𝘮𝘱𝘦𝘥 𝘶𝘱, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘧𝘭𝘦𝘥. Padre Pio's mother did not want her children to associate with other children who used foul language. Padre Pio interpreted that seriously and would run away from anyone who was swearing or cursing. At the same time, his mother also taught him to "repair" the damage done. 𝘉𝘦𝘱𝘱𝘢 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘣𝘢𝘥𝘦 𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥𝘳𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘰 𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘰𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘶𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘷𝘶𝘭𝘨𝘢𝘳 𝘰𝘳 𝘣𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘱𝘩𝘦𝘮𝘰𝘶𝘴 𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘶𝘢𝘨𝘦. 𝘐𝘯 𝘧𝘢𝘤𝘵, 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘴𝘩𝘦 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘥 𝘢𝘯𝘺𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘤𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦, 𝘴𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 “𝘳𝘦𝘱𝘢𝘪𝘳” 𝘪𝘵 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯, “𝘉𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘣𝘦 𝘎𝘰𝘥!” — 𝘢 𝘱𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘴𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘪𝘯 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥𝘳𝘦𝘯. As he grew older, Padre Pio stopped running away from people who swore, but likely tried to do his best to "repair" the damage of foul langauge. It's possible that he would have been tempted to use foul language as well, as many of us are tempted on a daily basis. He was human, just like us. Whatever may have happened later in his life, Padre Pio's mother can teach us all a lesson on how to respond positively when confronted with language that offends God.
Before the Hail Mary,there was this: The Oldest known prayer to the Mother of God. Prayed by early Christians during persecution. It's still powerful today. This isn't just a historical relic,it's a shield !. A cry for help the Church has never stopped praying... We fly to thy patronage, O Holy Mother of God. Despise not our petitions on our necessities, but deliver us always from all dangers, O glorious and blessed Virgin. Amen
I SMILE WITH FAVOR UPON MY REMNANT FAITHFUL "Please realize in the depths of your heart that all sin proceeds from a proud heart. Pride is a disordered self-love. The soul chooses sin because he loves the sin more than God and neighbor. Sin is self-serving, you see. The sins most prolific and wounding to My Heart of Love today are those sins against chastity, life and innocence. If all the sins of every generation were combined, the sins of this generation would still outnumber them. But My Love is patient and full of Mercy. I smile with favor upon My Remnant Faithful. They alone withstand My Wrath and hold back My Arm of Justice with the help of My Mother. The Holy Mass and the Holy Rosary together hold a great impact on the Scale of Justice. Devotion to Our United Hearts is third in this order of power against evil. The spirituality of the Chambers of Our United Hearts is great enough to pull the world back onto the path of righteousness. Therefore, along with the Rosary of the Unborn, propagate the little Chaplet of the United Hearts which will serve to lead many into the depths of these Chambers." - Jesus 9.7.2002 THANK YOU FOR COMING AND BELIEVING "Thank you for coming and for believing. Understand that this Holy Love Message I send My Mother to you with is part of My Mercy in these last days. Believe it. Live it." - Jesus 9.7.1998 THIS IS HOW TO CHANGE THE ATTITUDES OF THE WORLD "My brothers and sisters, it is very important that children are given the example of living in Holy Love by their parents. Thus, they will show them how to be understanding, forgiving, kind to one another. Compassion will be part of their upbringing and they will carry all these gifts and the essence of Holy Love into the community as adults. This is how to change the attitudes of the world." - St. Joseph 9.7.2014 HIGHLIGHT MESSAGES FOR THE DAY "I have come to ask those who hear these Messages on the Chambers of the United Hearts to stop judging the Messenger (Maureen Sweeney-Kyle) and to live the Message. Who among you, after all, deems himself worthy to receive such a Message. In Truth, no one is worthy. Yet, this Message has been freely given to the world through God's Love and Mercy. The choice He made as His Messenger--though seemingly unlikely--nevertheless was God's choice. If you want to know the Heart of God, listen to and follow these Messages that lead you into His Heart. If you wish to know how you will be judged for all eternity, read the Messages. If you wish to become a saint, adhere to these Messages until your heart is one with them. No one can truly follow this Spiritual Journey without being drawn into the Divine Will of God, and without being drawn into a deeply sacramental life. Look past any flaws you perceive in God's choice as His Messenger. After all, God cannot be mistaken. Look past the lack of high-powered approvals that, in Truth, are not necessary for your belief in this Revelation. In the future when approvals come, you will have missed a golden opportunity to become holy--even a saint." - St. Thomas Aquinas 9.7.2002 "My brothers and sisters, the reason I continue to come here is that through these Messages of Holy and Divine Love, I desire to establish within each heart a new kingdom, the Kingdom of the New Jerusalem and of My Father's Divine Will. In this way, victory will be imminent." - Jesus 9.7.2007 "My brothers and sisters, surrender your hearts to the Divine Will of My Eternal Father, thereby trusting in His Provision, which is All-Powerful and All-Embracing; then fear nothing but only trust, and you will see how you will be at peace." - Jesus 9.7.2010
Genom att skapa Jungfrun skapade Gud förlåtelse.

I Matteusevangeliet läser vi: "Saliga är de barmhärtiga, ty de ska finna barmhärtighet." I de andra saligprisningarna innehåller Jesu löfte något mer: de som sörjer ska tröstas, de renhjärtade ska se Gud, fredsstiftarna ska kallas Guds barn ... .. Jesus lovar inget annat till de barmhärtige än det de redan lever: barmhärtighet. För Gud kunde inte ge mer till den barmhärtige, för barmhärtighet är Guds fullhet, barmhärtighet är mycket mer än en egenskap hos Gud, barmhärtighet är Guds egen existens.
Herren, en Gud barmhärtig och nådig, långsam till vrede och rik på orubblig kärlek och trofasthet" läser vi i Andra Moseboken
I Psalm 103 (Psalm 103:11 till 13) förundras psalmisten över Guds otroliga barmhärtighet: "Så högt som himlarna är över jorden, så stor är Guds barmhärtighet..."
"Ty hans barmhärtighet varar för evigt." Detta är refrängen som upprepas efter varje vers i Psalm 136.
"Gud är kärlek" (1 Joh 4:8.16)
Gud är den som tar hand om sina barn som sin ögonsten.
Skrifterna beskriver Gud för oss som Den som gömmer oss i skuggan av sina vingar.
Så, med utgångspunkt i sin kärlek ordnade Gud sin Sons inkarnation, död och uppståndelse för att återuppliva den degenererade mänskligheten. Ordet lydnad betydde att Han fullt ut delade sin kärlek. Ingen kunde fullfölja uppdraget fullt ut. Ingen kunde återställa människan utom Han, Ordet. För detta ändamål skapade Gud Jungfrun, och skapade också förlåtelse
Jesus uppenbarade för Luisa att den gudomliga fiaten i skapelsen visade Guds verksamma, kraftfulla och visa kärlek, på ett sätt som alla skapade ting var fulla av Guds kärlek, kraft och visdom och outsäglig skönhet. Istället gick Gud vidare till fler i skapelsen av den suveräna drottningen. Guds kärlek nöjde sig inte med att visa den, utan ville röra sig mot medlidande, till ömhet och till medkänsla, så djup och intim, som om den kanske ville förvandla sig själv till tårar för varelsernas kärlek. Se, hur Guds kärlek uttalade sig för att skapa Jungfru Maria och kalla henne till liv, skapade Han förlåtelse, barmhärtighet, försoning mellan Gud och mänskligheten, och Han lade förlåtelse i denna himmelska och heliga varelse, som förvaltare mellan Guds barn och hennes. Så att den Suveräna Damen har hav av förlåtelse, barmhärtighet, medlidande och tårfyllda hav av Guds kärlek, där alla generationer kan vara delaktiga, återfödda i dessa hav skapade i henne; av förlåtelse, av barmhärtighet och av en så öm medlidande att den mjukar upp de hårdaste hjärtan. det var rätt att allt kunde läggas i denna Celestial Moder, eftersom allt kunde anförtros henne, eftersom man måste besitta Guds Viljans rike. Hon ensam har tillräcklig plats för att kunna äga de hav som Gud skapat, men i denna suveräna fru möttes Guds kärlek inte av vägen, och därför visade hon så mycket och skapade så många underverk, till och med för att ge henne gudomlig fruktbarhet för att göra henne till Skaparens moder.
Så alla handlingar som Jungfru Maria utförde tillsammans med Jesus, skapade hav av kärlek och lyfte sina vågor ända till himlen – de fyllde allt, de skapade ett tätt regn över det gudomliga väsendet och så bar de allas kärlek, förfriskningen, balsamet som Gud blev sötad med, och han förvandlade rättvisa till kärlekens transporter till varelser.
Man kan säga att Guds kärlek återupplivade en ny kärlek till människofamiljen, och Gud älskade den med dubbel kärlek, men var? i drottningen och i hennes käre son.
"Utvald att vara Guds Sons moder, blev Maria från början förberedd av Guds kärlek att vara förbundets ark mellan Gud och människa." (Påve Franciskus - Misericordiae Vultus)
Om Gud skapade förlåtelse för att återställa människan är det för att Han önskar att människan ska återgå till sitt ursprungliga tillstånd, det vill säga att han blir helig.
Jesu ord: "Var barmhärtig såsom din Fader är barmhärtig" (Lukas 6:36) ekar det urgamla budet "Var helig såsom jag, Herren din Gud, är helig" (3 Mosebok 19:2). Jesus gav Guds helighet barmhärtighetens ansikte.
Gud uppmuntrar alltid människan att vara ny, underbar, strålande, ljus, Han uppmanar oss: "Gör er till ett nytt hjärta och en ny ande" (Hesekiel 18:31), men hur? Beundrar och efterliknar Honom som är "den nya dräkten", Jesus, den evige Faderns Son som gavs oss av Maria.
Genom att skapa förlåtelse avvisar Gud inte rättvisa, men Han går bortom rättvisa med barmhärtighet och förlåtelse. Detta betyder inte att man ska devalvera rättvisan eller göra den onödig. Tvärtom måste de som gör misstag avtjäna straffet, men detta är inte slutet utan början på omvändelsen eftersom vi upplever förlåtelsens ömhet.

Ann Ellison: Ett liv givet till den gudomliga viljan
9/8/2026Lämna en kommentar nedan
"Tillkomme ditt rike, ske din vilja, såsom i himlen så ock på jorden."
Dessa ord följde Ann genom hela hennes liv och inspirerade hennes outtröttliga ansträngningar att dela den gudomliga viljans andlighet. Idag anförtro vi Gud våra minnen, vår tacksamhet och våra böner för henne när hon återvänder till Faderns hus den 31 augusti 2026.
I mer än trettio år ägnade Ann Ellison sitt liv åt att lära sig om och dela skrifterna av Guds tjänare Luisa Piccarreta. Hennes uppdrag handlade om mycket mer än studier eller undervisning. Hon sökte göra det hon lärt känna till en väg att leva varje dag, satte den gudomliga viljan i centrum för sitt andliga liv och delade med andra skönheten i ett liv helt givet till Gud. De som mötte henne mötte en kvinna som var djupt passionerad över Luisas budskap, men framför allt någon som ville leva det och hjälpa andra att upptäcka dess rikedom.
Anns resa att upptäcka den gudomliga viljans sanningar blev djupt förbunden med Italien och, på ett särskilt sätt, med Corato, staden där Luisa föddes och bodde. 1994 deltog Ann i firandet av öppnandet av Luisas Saligförklaringssak, en upplevelse som stärkte hennes band med Luisa Piccarreta Association. Det var också under dessa år som en särskilt meningsfull vänskap utvecklades med syster Assunta Marigliano, som då var föreningens ordförande och som Ann förblev djupt fäst vid under hela sitt liv. Hon mindes alltid syster Assunta med stor tillgivenhet och tacksamhet, och såg i henne en moderlig närvaro för dem som började upptäcka den gudomliga viljans andlighet. Det bandet med Corato och med de människor som kände och älskade Luisa förblev en värdefull del av Anns resa genom åren.
I mitten av 1990-talet blev Anns tjänst också nära knuten till Luisa Piccarreta Center for the Divine Will i Jacksboro, Tennessee, grundat av Thomas Fahy. Hon anslöt sig till centrets personal och arbetade nära Tom och bidrog under många år till dess arbete med studier, formande och utåtriktad verksamhet. Från och med då fick hennes uppdrag en alltmer internationell dimension. Hon deltog i konferenser, retreater, sammankomster och utbildningsprogram, där hon förde Luisas andlighet till människor i många olika länder och följde otaliga individer som ville fördjupa sin förståelse av Luisas skrifter och deras mening för sina egna liv. Hon deltog också i viktiga internationella sammankomster tillägnade Luisa Piccarreta, och blev för många en betrodd och kunnig närvaro, samtidigt som hon alltid förblev varm, tillgänglig och tillgänglig.
I sin undervisning betonade Ann att kunskap om den gudomliga viljan aldrig kan förbli en fråga om ord eller studier; det måste bli ett liv levt med Gud. Särskilt talade hon ofta om vikten av att samarbeta med Jesus så att riket av den gudomliga fiaten skulle få allt större utrymme i själen. Detta var kärnan i hennes vittnesbörd: att hjälpa andra att förstå att den gudomliga viljan inte bara är något att lära sig om, utan ett liv att omfamna, en gåva att ta emot och en kärleksrelation att odla varje dag.
I mer än trettio år gav hon sin tid, energi och hjärta till detta uppdrag, övertygad om att det budskap som Jesus anförtrott Luisa kunde bringa ljus, frid och förnyelse till livet för dem som välkomnade det. Hennes apostolat tog många former—studier och undervisning, personliga möten, lyssnande och andligt ackompanjemang. Genom sina ord och sitt exempel uppmuntrade hon många att fortsätta sin andliga resa och söka livets fullhet i den gudomliga viljan.
Så här vill vi bevara hennes minne: i ljuset av det hon sökte leva och dela genom sitt vittnesbörd. Hon bar med sig en övertygelse som hon delade med så många av dem hon mötte: Guds vilja är liv, frid, glädje och harmoni.
Nu när Ann har fullbordat sin jordiska pilgrimsfärd anförtros vi hennes själ till Fadern med tacksamhet för gåvan i hennes liv, för hennes kärlek till Luisa Piccarreta och för allt hon planterat i hjärtat hos dem hon mötte. Hennes exempel är fortfarande en inbjudan till oss att fortsätta vår resa i den gudomliga viljan med självförtroende, och göra den bön som följde henne genom hela hennes liv till vår egen:
"Tillkomme ditt rike, ske din vilja, såsom i himlen så ock på jorden."
Fiat!

Today, September 8, 2026, we celebrate the birth of our Blessed Mother! ❤️🔥 Happy Birthday, Mama Mary! 🌹 God chose you for a beautiful mission, and your faithful “yes” helped bring Jesus, our Savior, into the world. And no matter where Mary has appeared in approved apparitions, it is always the same Mother. Our Lady of Guadalupe, Our Lady of Lourdes, Our Lady of Fátima, and the other titles we love all point to the same Blessed Virgin Mary, the Mother of Jesus and our spiritual mother. On your birthday, we honor you and ask you to keep leading us closer to your Son. Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death, Amen. 💬 If you could give Mama Mary one birthday message today, what would you say to her? 🌹💙 🔁 Share this post today as a small way to honor Mama Mary on her birthday and remind others how deeply loved our Blessed Mother is. 🙏
A shout of victory rises from the enemy, ...But no sooner is the Pope dead than another takes his place. “The captains of the auxiliary ships elected him so quickly that the news of the Pope’s death coincides with that of his successor’s election. The enemy’s self-assurance wanes. “Breaking through all resistance, the new Pope steers his ship safely between the two columns; first, to the one surmounted by the Host, and then the other, topped by the statue of the Virgin. ..." Prophetic dream of St Dom Bosco
The spirit of prophecy “In every age, men have been divinely instructed in matters pertaining to the salvation of the elect ... and in every age there have been people possessed by the spirit of prophecy, not for the purpose of proclaiming new doctrines, but of guiding human actions.” - St. Thomas Aquinas
Her answer to a suffering nation was just five words: “Pray the rosary every day.” Most Catholics have probably never heard this story. But in 1877, during a painful time in Poland’s history, two young girls said the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to them in the village of Gietrzwałd. Polish Catholics were living under Prussian rule. Their language was being restricted in schools, and their faith and culture were under growing pressure. Then something happened that deeply moved the people. The two visionaries, 13-year-old Justyna Szafryńska and 12-year-old Barbara Samulowska, said Mary spoke to them in Polish. For people who feared losing their language and identity, that detail carried enormous meaning. The apparitions began on June 27, 1877, and continued through September. The girls brought questions about suffering, the Church, and the troubles people were facing. Mary’s answer was simple: → “Pray the rosary, and your problems will be solved.” She also said: → “I wish you to recite the rosary every day.” She did not give them a political plan or some complicated new devotion. She pointed them back to prayer. That message spread, and pilgrims began coming to Gietrzwałd in large numbers. Many also visited the nearby spring connected with the apparitions, where reports of healings began to circulate among the faithful. A century later, in 1977, the local bishop formally approved the apparitions, making Gietrzwałd the only Marian apparition in Poland officially recognized by the Catholic Church. And maybe this is the part we should sit with. When fear, pressure, or uncertainty takes over, we usually look everywhere for an answer. But Our Lady kept pointing people back to the Rosary. 💬 So here’s the question: if you truly believed prayer could change more than you can see, would the Rosary have a bigger place in your life right now?
The Miracle Prayer Lord, Jesus, I come before You, just as I am. I am sorry for my sins, I repent of my sins, please forgive me. In Your name, I forgive all others for what they have done against me. I renounce Satan, the evil spirits and all their works. I give You my entire self. Lord Jesus, now and forever, I invite You into my life Jesus. I accept You as my Lord and Saviour. Heal me, change me, strengthen me in body, soul, and spirit. Come Lord Jesus, cover me with Your precious blood, and fill me with Your Holy Spirit, I love You, Jesus. I praise You, Jesus. I thank You, Jesus. I shall follow You every day of my life. Amen.
MIRACLE: Blessed Virgin Mary appears to Catholic child suffering from brain cancer and tells him "everything would be OK.” His large brain tumor later shrank to a small blip and doctors canceled surgery. https://lifesitenews.com/news/blessed-v
The Feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, one of the oldest Marian celebrations, underscores Mary’s unique role in salvation history as the one chosen to bear the Son of God. While Scripture does not explicitly record Mary’s birth, tradition holds that she was born to Saints Joachim and Anne, whose faith and righteousness prepared the way for her divine mission. The origins of this feast trace back to the early Church, with evidence of its celebration in Jerusalem by the 5th century, possibly linked to the dedication of a church near the Pool of Bethesda, believed to be near Mary’s birthplace. By the 7th century, the feast spread to Rome and became widely observed in the Western Church. It is celebrated exactly nine months after the Feast of the Immaculate Conception on December 8, which commemorates Mary’s conception without original sin, a dogma central to Catholic belief. Theologically, the Nativity of Mary is seen as a moment of hope, marking the dawn of salvation. Mary’s birth signifies God’s preparation for the Incarnation, as she would become the vessel through which Jesus entered the world. Her life of purity, humility, and obedience serves as a model for all the faithful, emphasizing her role as the “new Eve” who cooperates fully with God’s plan. The feast invites reflection on God’s providence and the importance of Mary’s fiat—her “yes” to God’s will. The Feast of the Nativity of Mary encourages Catholics to contemplate her unique place in God’s plan and to emulate her virtues. It serves as a reminder of the hope and grace that her birth brought to humanity, preparing the way for Christ’s redemptive mission. Through this celebration, the Church honors Mary as the Mother of God and a powerful intercessor with her Divine Son.

Lord God, almighty and everlasting Father, you have brought us in safety to this new day: Preserve us with your mighty power, that we may not fall into sin, nor be overcome by adversity; and in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
O God, the author of peace and lover of concord, to know you is eternal life and to serve you is perfect freedom: Defend us, your humble servants, in all assaults of our enemies; that we, surely trusting in your defense, may not fear the power of any adversaries; through the might of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Almighty and everlasting God, by whose Spirit the whole body of your faithful people is governed and sanctified: Receive our supplications and prayers which we offer before you for all members of your holy Church, that in their vocation and ministry they may truly and devoutly serve you; through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.
Let us pray for the needs of the church and the world
to God who raised Jesus to new life.
We name the prayers and thanksgivings of our lives.
Loving God,
open our ears to hear your word
and draw us closer to you,
that the whole world may be one with you
as you are one with us in Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
A Prayer of St. Chrysostom:
Almighty God, you have given us grace at this time with one accord to make our common supplication to you; and you have promised through your well-beloved Son that when two or three are gathered together in his Name you will be in the midst of them: Fulfill now, O Lord, our desires and petitions as may be best for us; granting us in this world knowledge of your truth, and in the age to come life everlasting. Amen.
Let us bless the Lord.
Thanks be to God.
May the God of hope fill us with all joy and peace in
believing through the power of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Romans 15:13
