13 November 2026
Let us embrace this first day of the novena as an opportunity, with this intention in mind: “It is for me, for my life. May God reveal Himself to me, in the depths of my being, not to point out my faults or shortcomings, but to improve my life.” For this, we must be ready and alert, with a desire to discover the Kingdom of God, which is already present.
“We can already see the dawn of the day when Jesus returns to take possession of His people and hand it over to the Father. Try to open your eyes to see the dawn of that day; awaken from the deadly sleep, which envelops the Earth! The extraordinary instruments are at work to prepare the children of God to meet Jesus when He comes on His glorious day.”[1]
Reflection of 13 November 2015; Friday, 32nd Week of Ordinary Time – First day of the novena to Christ the King – We are at a turning point
Readings: Wis 13:1-9; Ps 18(19); Lk 17:26-37
Father Tomislav Vlašić: Dearest brothers and sisters, this evening, for the first reading of our Liturgy, we have taken the article “The extraordinary instruments are not subordinate,” from the book, The Universe and Its Inhabitants, page 322. We read a passage of this message that refer to us as well. We previously read and reflected upon this text in the spring; however, today – as part of our preparation for this novena to Christ the King – I would like us to contemplate this text in light of the Gospel passage from today’s Holy Mass.
In the Gospel, certain episodes, or rather certain individuals, are highlighted: Noah, Lot, Lot’s wife; people who are working together, where one disappears while the other remains; the house, and those who happen to be outside of it; people are advised not to return to their houses to get their belongings. What is the Gospel trying to convey by this? It tells us that we must be prepared. Moreover, Jesus’ words stir our human curiosity: “Where, Lord?”[2] We seek to fit everything into our own concepts, our own frameworks, our own notions of time and place – yet everything slips from our grasp. God is a mystery. The Kingdom of God, too, which is already present in our midst – is a mystery into which we must delve ever more deeply. The episodes narrated in the Gospel tell us that we must be inwardly prepared. Signs will be of no help to those who do not see with their inner eyes.
It is from this angle that I would like us to understand the words of the Trinitarian Spirit, who is the author of this book: The Universe and its Inhabitants.[3] The points are these: the announcement of Saint Michael spreads throughout the universe – even if some people have tried in every way to block this program – because it takes place in the dimension of the spirit. What does this show us? That the message has reached each of us and the Holy Spirit has touched our hearts. Today we must reflect on this: have we allowed ourselves to be awakened? Have we set off on our path? Have we seriously understood that we have reached a turning point? In this last period, we have instructed you and told you that our response to God is part of the events of the entire universe. Do you understand?
I wish to repeat these words: “We can already see the dawn of the day when Jesus returns to take possession of His people and hand it over to the Father. Try to open your eyes to see the dawn of that day; awaken from the deadly sleep, which envelops the Earth! The extraordinary instruments are at work to prepare the children of God to meet Jesus when He comes on His glorious day.”[4]
This evening, I do not want to focus on the extraordinary instruments; rather, I want to place the new people, the Foundation, and all of you who have gathered so many times, at the centre, so that you may realise that we are living in a time of a great turning point. This novena prepares each one of us, and our people, for the graces that are to come.
There is a need for silence; not the silence of the deaf, but the silence of thoughts that are not directed towards God. As we explained in the reflection, In the Footsteps of the Apostles.[5] There you find a discussion about Saint Peter’s profession that Jesus is the Christ, yet shortly after he shouts, “Never, Lord!” he said. “This shall never happen to you!” (Mt 16:22). To which Jesus replies, “Get behind me, Satan!”
We must understand this profound truth: we are called to give up our own thoughts, desires, plans, and concerns that do not originate from the Holy Spirit. This does not mean becoming a blank slate; rather, it means embracing the desires and thoughts of God, and speaking words filled with His power. Our actions will become the works of God, and everything will exist in harmony. This is also the essence of the passage from the Gospel of Saint Matthew – which Our Lady in Medjugorje recommended we meditate upon every Thursday (Mt 6:24–34) – where it reads: “Do not worry; seek first the Kingdom of God.” We are not asked to be blank slates, but rather to see, feel, and discern between good and evil, and to receive the grace to choose what is good. The turning point lies precisely here: in our ability to orient ourselves towards Christ from within, to commit ourselves to Him and to hasten towards Him.
In 2010, Saint Michael revealed the “Central Nucleus”: “This programme has been revealed to everyone else, except for the Earth. The Earth is the last to receive this message, due to the hardness of the hearts of the people on Earth.” Today, we are at the end of 2015. God asks the people of the Earth to have the thoughtfulness to wake up completely; to see what is happening and what is being prepared, and to recognise that nothing happens to us by chance. The words of Jesus in the Gospel state: “As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left” (Mt 24:37-40). This text places great emphasis on the fact that extraordinary instruments are provided precisely to carry this message everywhere, from the throne of God to the very gates of the underworld, through the angels, who are extraordinary instruments.
“The extraordinary instruments also serve to accelerate the implementation of God’s plan,” which is why they are placed at the forefront to pave the way. “Welcoming these three extraordinary instruments with love and gratitude, and living in communion with them through prayer, is not an optional act. It is the path toward the future: through them, you come into contact with a reality that is greater than that of the Earth.” This it is the reality of the new creation. It has also been said that God will reveal these instruments at the right moment; for now, we have only been given this information, because we must walk in faith. Why in faith? Because without faith, our spirit will not fully awaken. Furthermore, we have a tendency to instrumentalise rites, the Word of God, and the saints. We instrumentalise everything to suit our own ideas. Faith develops best in silence. Think of two people in love: they trust one another and have no need for discussions. Our relationship with God should be just like that.
This evening, I bless you so that this first day of the novena may find you vigilant, open, and ready to embrace the impulses of the Holy Spirit: the light, the love, and the life of God, who desires to lead you to the resurrection. Beyond the resurrection of the spirit, He wishes to bring us swiftly towards the new creation, towards the encounter with the glorious Christ. I bless you that you may be a people of light, of peace, of serenity, and of the security that is found only by trusting in God. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
