Father Tomislav: Dearest Brothers and Sisters; this week is dedicated to Christ the King and takes us directly to Advent when we prepare for the coming of little Jesus, who is Christ the Redeemer. We say “little Jesus” because we have to bow down to Him so that we may feel, in our hearts, the divine impulses that have to arise and mature so that we can reach the new Heavens and the new Earth: the new creation.

During Advent, the Immaculate Mother is the morning star that opens new spaces before us. Therefore, for our reflection on Advent, I have chosen a text that will accompany us in a concrete way towards understanding the times we are living in.

Stefania Caterina: We will read out a passage of Our Lady’s message of 15 August 2013[1]

“My immaculateness is an utterly special privilege, and it is bound to My divine Motherhood; nevertheless, all of you are called to immaculateness. All your spiritual path must tend to the progressive purification from sin and corruption until you reach the state of immaculateness through which you become partakers of the divine grace and worthy of belonging to the new humanity. The entire human race in the universe will have to reach this state of purity in order to enter the new creation: the new human being will be immaculate and so will the new humanity.

I am the Immaculate Conception, the new human being without equal. That is why I was taken up to Heaven to participate in the glory of the Creator, before whom I intercede for you all, and to prepare the way towards the new creation just as Jesus prepared it for Me. Jesus paved a new path; the path of the Spirit for all of you. However, it was necessary that, after Jesus, on behalf of all humanity, a pure and faithful human being was the first to cross the Great Barrier in spirit, soul and body. God willed that I should be that human being because I was the Immaculate, the Mother of God and humanity. I paved the way for you out of love and with love. With My obedience and docility, I healed your many infidelities in advance, especially those of the people of God. Had I not accepted My Motherhood towards you and My passage into Heaven, it would be much more difficult for you to walk Jesus’ path: I was and I will be your guarantee before God that, one day, you will be with Me beyond the Great Barrier.  Continue reading…
