My children, I am the Immaculate Conception; here I appeared to the little shepherd. Everyone knows the legend. My apparitions here will be recognized once the book is widely published. I have told you the true story, and this place will become known throughout the world. Many of My children will come here because I will call them through the book, granting many signs; those who read it will have visions.
You too, who are here today, have been called by Me. I ask you to persevere because I live in this place, in this Grotto, where My miraculous statue will soon return. My son Michael, the most powerful Archangel in Heaven and on Earth, will restore it to its place, and it will never be removed again.
My children, the presence of the Most Holy Trinity is very strong among you.
I love you immensely, My children, even though you are very weak. Pray every day with all your heart to be strong in faith, for there will be many trials of faith. Evil does not and will never give respite to those who love the Most Holy Trinity . Help your brothers and sisters through prayer; be good, be generous, be humble; I love humility; I love this place, I love nature. You will not find this peace in the world; therefore, My children, let it enter your hearts.
Now come one by one before this Grotto; bow down, and do so while praying and singing, for I wish to make you feel My presence.
SAINT MICHAEL THE ARCHANGEL
Brothers, sisters, it is I Michael the most powerful Archangel in Heaven and on Earth, commander of the Father’s army, guardian of the Virgin Mary. With Me are the Archangels Gabriel and Raphael; together we are forming an impenetrable barrier against evil. The Angels of Heaven are here around you—respect them, honor them.
The Father has once again granted Me the privilege of speaking to you here in this Grotto, in this piece of Paradise on Earth; great are the signs and works that God has performed here in every age; here there is the constant presence of the Virgin Mary and the Archangels; here, evil will never prevail; the Father still has great plans for this place, and today He is entrusting it to each of you; you must understand its importance.
Do not let evil lead you astray or confuse you; He knows how great the plan of the Father for this place; he knows how much Mary cares that this place and its history be known throughout the world; he knows that the conversion of countless souls will come through this place, and that is why he confuses you—he does not want you to do the will of the Father , he does not want this Grotto become a point of reference for Sicily and for the whole world.
Evil is fought with humility, obedience, and prayer—these are virtues that you often underestimate, thereby playing into the hands of evil. Never allow this; let humility be your strength, and let obedience be what drives you forward. Never feel secure or that you’ve arrived; always be humble; know that there is always more to learn; you must always grow in love—this is the will of the Father —so that you may be ready for what this Grotto will very soon represent for the entire world. You cannot afford to be weak; you must be a beacon for all the souls that the Most Holy Mother will send here and whom you will encounter.
Cast aside confusion; cast aside sin; each of you must be an integral part of the plan by the will of God ; otherwise, you will be judged unworthy of this magnificent plan; the wonders do not end here; every time you come here, you witness wonders that only open hearts can see; the story of this Grotto is understood only by pure hearts; clouded minds will never be able to comprehend the greatness of God’s works; the choice is yours.
Open your hearts and you will see the Omnipotence of God in the little things that surround this piece of Paradise; do not fear—I will help you. I am always ready to drive out evil, but you must want it; you must call upon Me, and your minds must always be turned toward God and to the Most Holy Mother who dwells here, and who desires that your hearts be pure to receive Her Great Love.
THE MOST HOLY VIRGIN MARY
My children, My son Michael, the most powerful Archangel who dwells in Heaven and on Earth, has set many minds free; His presence has touched many hearts. Soon—very soon—He will return; be ready.
Now I must leave you; I give you a kiss and bless you all, My children, in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
Shalom! Peace, My children.
