17Th Anniversary of the Apparitions of Jacareí

Marcos: For ever be praised JESUS, MARIA and JOSÉ! Yes, I am very happy! I thank you for all the graces that you have granted me throughout these 17 years and that you will still grant me, to grant.

Message of Mary Most Holy

"- My little children. Today you are commemorating the 17 years of my frequent apparitions in this city of Jacari, which is for you the greatest proof of my Immaculate Heart.

Yes! These apparitions of mine here are my greatest proof of love! In addition to My other Apparitions in places of the world, through which they accompany My children on their pilgrimage on earth; consoling them, strengthening them, encouraging them, healing them, helping them, protecting them, freeing them from evil, leading them to Heaven, to holiness! These daily, constant Apparitions of mine are the greatest proof of my love for all my children!

For 17 years I have accompanied My children in these Apparitions; I keep them, I help them, I am always present when they suffer, when they need Me! I am always attentive, vigilant and concerned about their lives, their souls, their salvation, their eternal destiny.

Through these Apparitions, here, I have come closer to you, like never before in the history of humanity! Through these apparitions here, I have truly been present in the lives of My children, day by day, month by month, year by year. They are 17 years of love, dedication, constant care and vigilance of My Immaculate Heart for you, for you and above you.

Is this proof not enough for you, My children?

What more do you want for you to love Me?

What do you expect most, to begin to obey the messages of those who love you so much and want your good so much?

What more can you want, to feel complete and fully! What other love can you desire more than Mine?

Am I not here, that I am your Mother? Am I not here with My gaze constantly upon you?

Am I not here, with My gaze constantly fixed upon you?

What more can you desire?

What other love can you compare to Mine?

Obey, therefore, My Messages. For they are the greatest proof of love that I can give you!

Obey My Messages, which for you are the greatest grace that GOD has bestowed upon man, and it is the last board of salvation for you!

If I have called you and chosen you to be here, it is because I love you with a love without measure!

Believe then in My love, make My love your treasure, put it in the first place in your lives and then your souls will no longer hunger for any other transitory or passing love. And then it will be easy for you to detach yourself from things and creatures and to unite yourself perfectly with GOD, with pure and total love, in pure transformation.

Peace, my beloved little children, I bless you today, on this most blessed and sacred day".

MESSAGE FROM ST. JOSEPH

Dear children, I, JOSEPH, your Father, bless you today! I am happy to see you here at Our Feet on this day of celebration for Heaven and for men of good will on earth.

The soul, when it loves GOD, unites with Him through the bonds of love. When the soul surrenders to GOD and desires to love Him with a pure and loyal love, nothing else satisfies it, nothing else attracts it. It is as if she falls ill with love and the only remedy for her illness is GOD Himself! It is to be united to GOD, to get lost in GOD, to get intoxicated in GOD and to disappear in GOD!

That is why things that used to give so much taste and pleasure, now seem to her as shadows, sad and passing.

So the soul seeks GOD, like that wife of the Song of Songs, 'I will seek my Spouse and my soul will rest until I find Him!

Yes! As long as the soul does not find Him, it will not rest and will not be satisfied or happy. And the Bridegroom, after wounding the soul with a single ray of His beauty, His love and His softness, hides from it to provoke even more in it the love and thirst to find Him.

Then the soul collapses through the courts of his Beloved. It seeks GOD and at cost finds Him! And this pain, far from discouraging her, inflames her even more and increases her thirst for his love even more!

When the soul knows the love of GOD, when it has a true encounter with Him, the Bridegroom of its soul once, the soul wants to be with GOD, or to consume itself in Him like wax in the heat of fire; it wants to dive into the sea of His Love and His presence and lose itself in Him like a stone thrown into the middle of the sea, it is lost in the depths of His waters.

When the soul has a true encounter with GOD, it longs for nothing more, it wants nothing more than to tighten the bonds of friendship that unite it to Him and in this embrace remain for all eternity.

The more the soul detaches itself from everything and becomes free, and between it and GOD there is nothing in between that impedes and hinders the embrace of mystical union, the more GOD will tighten the bonds that unite the soul to Him, until they merge into one!

It is characteristic of the one who loves to unite the Beloved One with Him, until they are equal with Him. In this way GOD also wants to make you sharers of His happiness, of His glory and of His beatitude; uniting you deeply with Him; divining you, raising you up to become perfect images of His love, of His holiness and of what He Himself is.

To this most profound union with GOD, We want to take you, through Our Apparitions here!

Be Docile! And let Us lead you into this perfect union and then, My children, there will be nothing more to fear; neither of the world, nor of demons, nor of flesh, nor of human nature. For when the soul truly unites with GOD, then it has triumphed from the world, triumphed from nature, and nothing else can separate it from its Beloved.

I love you very much. Each day I love you more. And I care for you.

Be Mine as I am yours; love Me as I love you; give yourself totally to Me, as I also give myself to you, without measure every day.

Peace My children!"

MESSAGE FROM SAINT MARINA

"-My dear brothers! I, MARINA, servant of GOD, servant of MARY MOST HOLY, bless you now.

I give you the peace of which the Lord and His Mother have filled me. I give you My protection; I love you, I protect you and from now on I will act even more intensely in your lives!

Know that I have loved you for a long time! I have loved you and taken you under my protection and sponsorship. I will guide you to Heaven and I will never leave you! I will hold you tightly in my hands, so that you do not grow weary and stop in the middle of the way.

I will race with you, and I will stay with you until we finish the race together and receive the eternal prize! The soul that is with GOD and unites with Him through the life of unity has in itself, already, a foretaste of what We Blessed enjoy in Heaven.

The soul exults! The soul enjoys! The soul looks at GOD, and more and more that it looks, it suffers the sickness of love towards Him. So I was, so it was with Me all my life! The more I looked at GOD, the more the sickness of love towards Him suffered, and the LORD made Me suffer more and more with His loving eyes and made My soul faint for Him and the things of this world that seemed more and more insignificant and vile to Me! I came to a point of love so great for GOD that I even saw the things created as My enemies, wanting to take Me away from that which was My only love, My only life and the only meaning, the only reason for My existence!

I loved all things, but I loved them in GOD and for GOD; because I understood that outside of GOD I had no license to love anything! And my love was growing, more and more like a bonfire that was not placated by anything. And the winds of the HOLY SPIRIT in My soul, only made that fire feed on His breath and spread in all the corners of My being and also around Me!

Each day that passed, My longing and My thirst for GOD increased more! And more and more I plunged into the Ocean of GOD's Love and wanted to go even deeper into the depths until then; I no longer saw myself, but rather, I saw GOD in Me.

When the soul is in love with GOD, in love with Him and with MARY MOST HOLY, that is also the case. The soul looks at things and not only at them, it does not see any joy, it does not see any happiness, but it even sees them as enemies of its soul; that they want to take it away from GOD, that they want to separate it from HIM and usurp the place that only belongs to HIM! And then the soul, although it lives in the world and loves all things in GOD and for GOD; the soul lives as if all things were contrary and inimical to it, and therefore; it lives free, detached, detached and only in love with GOD!

Many souls cannot reach perfect union with GOD, because they themselves widen the bonds that unite the soul to GOD, and often flee from GOD with such vehemence that they even break these bonds! For the soul to truly reach the perfect life of union with GOD, it must not do violence to HIM, but must do violence against itself; detaching itself from everything that occupies its heart and suffocates it, not leaving in it the total and fully reserved space for the LORD!

I want to help you in this great task, without which you will never attain holiness and never reach Heaven! It is a difficult and high task for you, that only those who have achieved it can make it accessible for others who have not yet achieved it. And this grace I have already achieved; I will achieve it for you too.

Therefore ask for My intercession, My protection and My help and I will give it to you. Know that your names are engraved on Me. I know you one by one and I love you one by one in GOD. I know your sufferings, I know your difficulties, I am your sister, I suffer for your sufferings and I know everything that goes on inside and outside of you!

I know you inside and out, better than you know yourselves, because I see you in GOD. It is with GOD's eyes, it is with GOD's light that I see you and know you; and therefore I know much better than you how to remedy and solve your sufferings, your difficulties, your miseries, your sins and weaknesses.

Come therefore to Me. Do not delay! Do not try to do alone, which you can do easily with Me! Invite Me to be part of your lives and do everything, everything together with you, even the simplest things!

And you will see how I will help you to do everything with perfection and how the HIGHEST will be much happier with you and you will give MARY MOST HOLY an incomparable consolation!

Give yourselves to Me and I will lead you to Heaven.

See you all soon. See you soon Marcos, I will return. I will come back again.

And today I bless you, with Our Holy Queen and Our Holy FATHER SAINT JOSEPH, and I give you a very rich blessing; which THE ALL POWERFUL has sent particularly to you today and to all who, by your example, are obedient to the Messages of these Apparitions".
