Estella Ruiz, Pheonix,
Arizona, U.S.A. 1988 (Our Lady of the Americas)
Status: Established as not Supernatural (Constat Non
Supernaturalitate)
Episcopal Remarks:
“The commissions that looked into these alleged events found no basis for
claiming that they are authentic” (Letter from Rev. Michael L. Diskin,
Assistant Chancellor, Diocesan Office of The Roman Catholic Church of Phoenix,
july 31, 1995) “In the case of St. Maria Goretti Parish they said that the
locutions are “explainable within the range of ordinary human experience”.”
(ibid) “With regard to Mrs. Ruiz the commission concluded in that case that the
alleged apparitions and messages are not extraordinary or miraculous and that
there are “natural explanations for what is happening” (ibid) (See Documentation Here)
Corroboration by
Other Seers: First Vision
Associated with an Image of the Virgin of Guadalupe.
Biographical Information: Estela
Ruiz. A wife and mother of seven, who resides in Phoenix, Arizona, Estela has
received apparitions and messages since December 3, 1988. Mary appears as
"Our Lady of the Americas" with messages for all of us. These
messages are read to the crowds of people that come to her home. Our Lady
appeared to Estela almost daily in 1989, and all of her seven grown children
were converted to lives of holiness. Unlike her husband, Estella had been a
skeptic of apparitions and messages until Our Lady began appearing to her. When
her husband went to Medjugorje in September of 1988, she was more interested in
beginning a career after raising seven children. While walking by a picture of
Our Lady of Guadalupe that her husband had painted in their home, she heard the
beautiful voice of a woman say, "Good morning, daughter." Her first
response was to think that she was hearing things. Two days later, after
forgetting about the incident, the same thing happened again. She began to
think it might be real. After his return from Medjugorje, she looked into the
eyes of her husband of thirty years, and he looked different. Something had
changed him. Estella realized that Our Lady was changing her as well. Several months later, in December of 1988,
the Blessed Mother began to appear to Estella…Since then, the family has all
experienced conversions resulting in great changes. A son who was addicted to
drugs has been completely healed and is now a powerful witness for Our Lord. 1
The Messages
Our
Lady, December 3, 1988
During
the first apparition, Our Lady told her, "I have come to ask you to be my
messenger, and I want to know if you will do it? I'm going to help you and your
children make many changes. There will be a period of time where I will prepare
the family and I will send many messages to the family." 2
Our
Lady, undated, 1990
I
come to warn you, my little ones, that the world is at a crossroad,…It will
either cross into the path of destruction, or allow Our Lord to reign in the
hearts of men. Time is running short. I am here to beg all who listen to turn
to God." 3
Our
Lady, undated, 1990
“My
children, when will you finally learn that this faith you have -- believing
that earthly materials will bring peace and happiness or that other people are
responsible for your well-being -- is false?…These are your false gods and
idols whom you have come to worship and believe in” 3a
Our
Lady, January 19, 1991
"For
those who have listened to my call I now ask that you commit yourselves to my
work. Begin your life of prayer in earnest and let nothing keep you away from
that commitment. I am now asking the Americas for fasting as a sacrifice of
love. Begin your fasting immediately. I need your commitment of prayer and
sacrifice. There is no more time to dwell on your small self concerns. Leave
self-pity and anger with others. There is no more time for that behavior. If
you have not yet learned to love those around you, how can you expect the world
to learn the love of which I have been speaking about… I ask that you offer two
fasting days a week for peace in the world. We must not and cannot give up
hope”4
Our
Lady, March 2, 1991
"I
ask that you continue to pray for peace in the world. You need to understand
that peace is not brought about by victory in a battle, but by change in men's
hearts and lives.... Men need to understand that if hearts do not change, the
devastation and destruction of each other will continue throughout the world” 5
Our
Lady, undated, 1993
Oh,
my beloved children, I have come to warn you that what you sow will be what you
reap. What will be your harvest, my children, your earthly goods, your earthly ways?
Or will you heed my call, turn your eyes on your God and reap love, peace, and
joy which only He can bring?" 6
Our
Lady, May 7, 1994
“My
Dear Children, I come today asking Our Lord to pour His blessings upon all my
children in the world and to bless you myself, that through these special
blessings all my children will open their hearts to receive God's love. I come
today to bring you the good news of God's power and might. I come again to tell
you of His immense love for you, all His children on earth. I come to let you
know that our almighty God can heal all and he wants to heal all who are in
pain, for He is the great healer. You must remember however, that His foremost
concern is the state of your spirits, your souls. It is more important that your
souls be in perfect health because it is your soul that unites to Him in love
and joy. It is the state of your souls that will bring your hearts joy and love
or misery and hatred. It is a joyful and loving heart that can overcome the
chaos of this imperfect world. It is a pure and healthy soul that can see our
loving God amidst the hate and darkness of the world. It is your souls that I
worry about the most. I ask you, all of you my beloved children, to begin to
seek to heal your souls. If your soul is alive and joyful you will see God in
all you encounter in the world and you will become a vessel that God can use to
bring healing and salvation to others. He will use a soul that loves with a
pure love to bring healing to a soul that does not know love or joy or
happiness. If you have a broken body but a pure and loving soul, you can be
that instrument that God needs to take His salvation to others. But if someone
has a perfect body but a sick or dead soul, this being is of no use to God or
to the world, for this soul brings only darkness and chaos and hatred to all
who surround it. Today I ask all those who have heard my voice and are open to
my words, to strive to become these special souls that God can use to bring
others to Himself. Strive to have pure and loving souls and ask Our Lord to
continue to work in you to be ever more loving, more joyous, and more dependent
on His love and mercy, because through this, nothing in your imperfect world
will destroy you. You will be open to God's love and goodness, and His power
and strength and might will be in you; you will survive and overcome any
earthly obstacle. I love you and I thank you for listening to my words.” 7
Our
Lady, June 4, 1994
My
Dear Children, I come to you on this day in hopes that all my children
throughout the world will listen to my words as I come to call you ever closer
to God. My children throughout the world, but even more so in the Americas,
have become very weak of spirit and soul. America, the land of plenty for the
comfort and well-being of the body, is almost devoid of that which nourishes
the soul, that which gives strength and courage to the soul. You, my children,
do not understand that it is the spirit that gives life to your bodies, that
causes you to accept what comes to your life each day. My children in the
Americas cannot tolerate or deal with pain, physical or emotional because your
spirits, your souls are empty of that which allows you to deal with pain and
suffering. You are far from God Who is your source of strength, Who gives you
the courage to endure all in the world. You feel close to Him when all is well,
but you rebel against Him if you have to suffer the pain of this imperfect and
dark world. What would you do, my beloved, if God were to abandon you, leave
you to your own destruction? Because surely, my children, you are slowly
destroying yourselves. How much longer can you go on this path of destruction
without your God? You see, God has not abandoned you, nor will He ever abandon
you - it is you who have abandoned Him. There is so much suffering and pain in
the world, which has been brought by your own hand and you have no way of
coping with it, no way of even tolerating it because you refuse to honor and
recognize your source of strength - your God! I have come into the world to
call you to Him, that you may know where to turn in your moments of despair.
Yet in your weak spirits you have not yet learned how to abandon yourselves to
Him. As the world continues on its path of destruction, where will you turn,
what will you do? Will you finally learn to turn to your source of strength or
will your weak spirits consume you into the same destruction? Open your hearts,
my children, as I guide you to your strength and your hope, your God. I love
you and I thank you for listening to my words.” 8
Our
Lady, July 2, 1994
My
Dear Children, I have come into the world to call you to God's love and I will
continue to do so as long as possible. I cannot tire of repeating my words, for
you are my children whom God has given to me and I love you. During these times
I have said many things to you regarding God's love for you. I have repeated
the words of my Son, Jesus, to you that you might remember what He came into
the world to do. I have tried to guide you all to the path of God. Many have
heard my words and have changed their lives, turning back to God. Others have
struggled believing that the road to God is more difficult than the misery of
this world. Many have closed their ears to my words and are well on their way
to destruction. My words to all my children continue because I am your heavenly
mother who loves you and I must do all that is possible so that you will return
to your God, for that is your only salvation. I cannot and will not stop
calling you until I can do it no longer. And so today I speak again of God's
love for you. I remind you that present times in the world are times of pain
and destruction. The signs of the times tell you that the world is in crisis.
The greatest offense against God is the lack of respect for life. Yes] that is
the greatest offense going on in the world. Never before has man destroyed life
so much as during these times. This is done cruelly and without conscience. How
can God bless you, His children, if there is no regard for that which He created
- life? During these times, because of His great love for you, and because my
Son died for all of you, He can only pour His mercy on you, that you may repent
and change the course of destruction to which you in the world are headed.
Listen to my words, my children, hear me! God loves you and does not want to
see the destruction of that which He created - you, His children. Allow Him to
enter your hearts, that He may teach you to love, that He may take the hatred
from your hearts. He loves you and desires to live in you. I love you and
desire that you open your hearts to His love. Thank you my dear ones, for
listening to my words.” 9
Our
Lady, August 6, 1994
Message
from Our Lady of the Americas. My Dear Children, I come to be with you during
these hard times for the world. There is much destruction, turbulence and
confusion as mankind lashes out against each other. Our God knows your need for
Him and in His great love for you sends the court of Heaven to call you back to
Him. I, your heavenly Mother, have been sent by Him who loves you, that through
My love for Him and for you, with My heart in My hand for you in love and
tenderness, you might understand God and His love; that you may understand your
great need of Him more than ever. The destruction of humanity has become like a
snowball; the more the devastation of lives continues, the greater is the
destruction of man throughout the world. Each continent has its own war in its
own way. Why is this happening My children, do you know? The answer is simple.
The world has lost the knowledge, understanding and belief of and in God. The
world no longer knows this God of love and hope. The gifts that God has given
to mankind man has used to glorify hi0self. Man put himself on a throne and
each man considers himself a god so that each person in the world does his own
will and not the will of their creator. I have come to the world to tell you
about your creator and mine. This God did not put you in this world to destroy,
but to build, to love each other not to hate, to be men and women of honor not
dishonor, to treat each other with kindness and love not with jealousy and
hatred. Yet man has turned against God and treat each other with all the things
He is not. Yet, God, even in this disobedience that is so prevalent among all
His children in every category that man classifies himself into, continues to
love you! That is why I am with you, making myself known throughout the world.
That is why the court of Heaven has descended upon mankind that you may know
God's love for you, that the heavens may help all of you, My children, to be
saved from destruction of your bodies and more importantly your souls. Open
your hearts, My beloved and let God come in. I love you and thank you for
listening to My words.” 10
Our
Lady, November 5, 1994
My
Dear Children, I am here during these times to call you to My heart that you
may allow me to work in you, that each one of you who hears me may find
salvation. It was long ago that I brought to the world My beloved Son that the
world might receive salvation through Him; I am in the world in these times to
again bring My Son to the hearts of all who desire salvation. I have prayed and
yearned that all My children in the world might open their hearts to my call,
but many do not listen. Hearts are hardened, ears are closed and My words do
not seem to penetrate into hearts, especially those in most need. My children
in the world live in the desperation of sin and chaotic and unrestful ways it
brings. Satan and his demons have overtaken this world and pain, overwhelming
pain is the result. Satan brings death...not only of the body, as he moves many
to bring death to others, but more importantly the death of your souls. If you
do not have God in your life, then you become susceptible to the evil that is
rampant in the world. You become weak and satan overcomes your life. What he
brings with him is misery and pain. He brings envy, lust, jealousy, mistrust,
hate and anger and all this destroys the soul. The more he pulls you into these
ways, the weaker you become until one day, you become part of the walking dead,
moving around at satan's will, helping him to destroy others. This cannot
continue, for God in His great love for you has sent Me that as your heavenly
Mother I can remind you of His love, that I can help you bring God back into
your hearts. He has not abandoned the world, for He loves the world. He has not
abandoned you My children, for He is your creator and He created you that you
might rejoice with Him, and to assure that this would happen, He sent His Son
that all might have life to the fullest; and after My Son left, the Holy Spirit
of God was left with you, that satan might have no power over you who respond
to God's love. I have come into this world in these times because the world is in
great need of God. I come to call you to His love and goodness. Come to Me, My
children, and allow Me to touch your hearts, and I will help you open them to
God's love and peace and joy. I love you My children, and I thank you for
listening to My words.” 11
Our
Lady, December 3, 1994
My
dear Children, I rejoice with you today as you honor Me in a special way. It is
good to rejoice in the knowledge that God loves His children and that out of
that love He gave Me to you to love and cherish as My own little ones. You are
indeed My little ones whom I love and as your heavenly Mother I come into this
world to guide you to God's love. Throughout the ages it has been God's will
that I come into the world when My children, God's beloved ones, are in danger.
It is no different now. I see many of My children in the world immersed in sin
that will lead them to the loss of their souls. These are times of grave danger
to the world. Many souls are being lost as they pass from this life to the next
because they did not acknowledge God, and this lack of faith caused them to
believe in ways that were hurtful to others and to themselves. These souls that
are weak in faith are easy prey for satan as he roams the world seeking to
devour as many as will allow him through their faithlessness. I have come then,
to call you to faith; to encourage you to believe in God and His power; to try
to make you understand that it is only through God's power that you are saved.
It is He Who, when you believe, can turn you into a great and powerful man or
woman of God and Who can bring many others to salvation. I am here to call all
those who will listen and believe to sanctity and holiness. It is those of you
who have an open ear and heart that I want to guide to sanctification. to a
life of holiness, to one who know God, loves Him and serves Him. There will be
very few, during these times, who will allow Me to guide them to these heights.
Many will listen, make an attempt to change and then go back to the same life
as before, because they expected to be repaid immediately with things of the
world. These weak human beings live only for instant gratification and are weak
material for holiness and sanctification. However, there will be a few whom I
will be able to guide to be true servants of God. These will be the ones who
are filled with faith, who believe that God loves them, who love Him in return
with great love, who never tire of doing God's work, even though their bodies
may be exhausted. These will be the ones who do not expect instant gratification,
but can wait to receive their reward in heaven. These will be those who carry
God's love, compassion and mercy to others, at any risk - yes, even when they
may be rejected. The question remains - where will you be? How far will you let
Me guide you? Only you can answer. I love you and I thank you for listening to
My words.” 12
Our
Lady, January 6, 1995
My
Dear Children, My message is brief, for My messenger is weak. I have said, that
there are few who will give up the world to follow God during these times. To
you, I speak telling you the following that you may understand: The road to My
Son is not an easy road, therefore many cannot follow. When you follow My Son,
you renounce the world and its ways, and that is not an easy thing to do when
the ways of the world are so strong. It requires strength of spirit and
commitment. To reach that goal requires a deep life of prayer. To accept God's
will is totally necessary that your communication with Him be consistent, have
depth and strength. It is hard to reach that level but it is possible. The key
is perseverance in prayer. That is the only way that you will be able to listen
to Him as He desires to guide you. For those of you who have listened to My
call and are working with Me, I say that your first priority is prayer. Prayer
will lead you to strength of spirit which will lead you to persevere in your
dedication to His work. The road is sometimes very hard, but if you are in
harmony with God through prayer, you will continue to walk with Him and He with
you. I encourage those who are working with me to continue to work to
strengthen your spirits that your relationship with your God carry you through
these hard times ahead. When you find yourself weak turn to Me, as I am your
Heavenly Mother and I will be there to help you. I thank all those who continue
to walk with Me and I pour My blessing on you. Pray for My messenger, that she
can see and feel God's strength in her. I love you and I thank you for
listening to My Words.” 13
Our
Lady, February 4, 1995
My
Dear Children, I came awhile back with messages of warning of imminent
destruction of the world and to call you to conversion that this destruction
might be avoided. Many heard My words, heeded them and became My warriors ready
to fight off this evil destruction with prayers and lives of holiness. Many
others heard My call, attempted to change their lives for a period of time but
were tempted back into world of frigidity toward God's ways, seeking more the
comfort of materialism that the world offers than the salvation of the soul
that God offers which is the most valuable. My words to you can no longer be of
warning for now the world is in the middle of this destruction and it is now
evident to anyone who has eyes to see and ears to hear. Now you believe because
you are living it. Evil is loose all over the world and satan devours My
children who do not have God in their lives. He no longer hides but is out
openly visible. Many do not recognize him because their hearts are covered by
the world's ways. These hearts do not recognize God either for their spirits
are dead and have no life. These are the souls that satan can surely destroy.
My words are now to those who have heard me and continue to be My warriors,
ready to work with me against this evil, with rosaries in hand, God in your
hearts and prayer in your mouths. you must not give up, you must continue to
proclaim that God is the Almighty and His goodness will prevail and be
victorious in the end, for surely it will. Hold on My children, be strong, do
not let satan's evil lure you away as he will continue to work against you
through you human weaknesses. Work constantly to strengthen your faith in God.
Let God's Holy Words in scripture be a part of your life that you might know
who He is for you and your soul. Partake of the sacraments often, These are
evil times of battle and only your constant watch over your soul will keep this
evil away. Be ever watchful. Turn to Me when in danger for I continue to be
with you in your battles and struggles for you are My children whom I love. I
thank you for listening to My words.” 14
Our
Lady, March 4, 1995
My
dear children, I your heavenly Mother have come to be with you on this day, to
be with you, to call you, to guide you, to touch your hearts that you, each one
of you might return to God's love. I say return because when God creates His
children, each one is born to receive the Kingdom of Heaven as His children, by
rightful inheritance. It is during your time on earth that many, guided by the
ways of the world, move away from Him, reject Him and lose their right to His
Kingdom. It is during these times that many have rejected His love and
therefore, reject the right to be children of God. I come during these times
because I do not wish to see My children suffering without God, because to be
without God is to suffer the pain and misery of a world who has no joy, no
life, no spirit. How can I reach you, my beloved children in the world, that
you heart might open to His love? How can I break hearts of stone, who need
God's healing, but continue to reject Him? My heart cries for those who are
lost and cannot find God, therefore, have no peace. My heart pains to see many
who cannot find this peace because they no longer believe in their God and His
love. Is it too late for these, my suffering children to open their hearts to
this tremendous love of your Creator? No, I cannot and will not allow this loss
of souls. Each one of you in this world is My child, whom I love. I am your
Mother in heaven, who continue to seek you, I cannot bear to see you separated
from your happiness who is your God. I must do all I can, all that God allows
me so that my children on earth can find God. I depend on you who have heard my
call and answered it. You who have come to know my heart and know that I wish
all my children to be saved. Please my little ones, help me, help me, to reach
to your brothers and sisters, that no one be lost to the evil that has filled
the world. Please go throughout, to your brothers and sisters, and let them know
God's great love for them. Let everyone see through you that to love God is to
have joy and peace. Let God's light shine through you that all might see God's
Kingdom in you. You must shine to others with the joy and peace that comes from
loving God. All must see that you have received the Spirit of God and because
of that, you reflect His goodness, kindness and love. Let my love for all shine
through you. I love you and I thank you for listening to my words.” 15
Our
Lady, March 5, 1995
My
dear children, I am here to remind you of My love for you and to remind you of
My Son's love for you. I also come this day to tell you that the heavens weep
as the world moves ever closer to destruction and war. I came to this world to
reach out to all My children in the world, yet many of those trust in Him. If
you say to Him, 'I trust in You,' yet continue to lead chaotic lives and then
cry out because your soul is not at peace, then you are not at peace, and you
are not truthful with your God. If your soul is not at peace, if this world is
not at peace, it is not God's doing but yours. This world has not come to this
destruction through God's hand, but through your own. Humanity has allowed the evil of Satan to overpower it and his
power is rampant over the whole of mankind. Chaos, destructin, hate, and greed
abound, and there seems to be no way out. Yet, I come into this world to point
you, to guide you to the way of peace and love. My Son came to save humanity
through His death, yet the world has rejected the truth of His salvation. There
is no trust in Him Who is the only Way out of this destruction. Where will you
turn, My beloved; Who will save you? There is only one way -- it is My Son,
Jesus. I have come to call you to Him. Who will listen? I love you, My
children, and I ask that you listen to My words.” 16
Our
Lady, April 1, 1995
My
Dear children, I am with you always because God in His love for you has given
you to Me to love and to hold in My heart ever so closely. It is especailly
during times like these that He desires that I be with you, because during
these times My children on earth have turned against the will of God , and you,
My beloved children are on a fast road to destruction. Can you understand God's
great love for you, that even when many have rejected Him and turned to sin he
would continue to seek their love and to desire that these souls be saved and
not lost? So He sends the Court of Heaven to assist these souls that have put
Him aside. So too, does He send Me, His Mother, since He knows there is nothing
I would not do for Him and for all My earthly children whom I desire to be
saved. I come therefore, to be with you to call all those who find thermselves
in darkness, away from their Creator. As My children in the world move away from
their Creator, so the hope and love that He gives is lost. This is where so
many of My children find themselves, away from God, with no hope, no love, no
joy, the joy that comes only from loving God. What will My lost children do?
How will they find their God so that they may find their salvation? I have come
to touch hearts, to help all who will allow Me, to change their hearts. to
surrender their wills to God, that God can fill these hearts with joy, hope and
love. Many have listened, have allowed Me to touch their hearts and thus have
come to understand God's love for them. It is on you, My devoted little ones,
on whom I place My confidence and trust. It is you whom I now ask, that as you
have come to understand the rewards that come from loving God, put yourselves
at My disposal so that your lost brothers and sisters may also find the
treasure that you have found. How will it be done? First through your love for
them, that they may see that God lives in your heart. Then through your
untiring commitment and dedication to My work, which is to win souls for God.
You who love Me, continue your devotion to My Immaculate Heart that I may place
your souls at the feet of My beloved Son, Jesus; That He may conitnue to fill
your hearts and souls with His Holy Spirit and through His love and Mine we can
work to win many souls who will to God's ways, that through our work and love
the world may learn to love and glorify God and to love one another. I love you
My little ones, and I thank you for listening to My words.” 17
Our
Lady, May 6, 1995
My
Dear Children, It is during these times of pain and suffering that I come to
bring you words of comfort as I speak to you about our Lord, My son, Jesus, Who
came into this world to be an example of strength and love. He died on the
cross, not because He had to, but because He loved His people so much that He
wanted to show that it is possible to suffer yet love at the same time. The
greatest symbol of love is the cross, His Cross, because he hung on that cross
that we might be saved, that all humanity might have the opportunity to enter
His Kingdom for eternity. Not only did He serve all humanity through the cross,
but He became the symbol of ultimate love. He became the example for all
mankind that it is possible to love through suffering. My Son knew that all men
would suffer in this imperfect world, and His message to all humanity was to
love even through the pain. Yet, men today do not want to acknowledge His
Cross, His symbol of love. Through that symbol of love come the rays of
hope-hope for all men and women in this world. God knows men's sufferings
through these times of hatred, chaos and turbulence. He know that men and women
have turned to hatred and vengeance, and He sees the world's sufferings in
these times when men have put His sacrifice and His love out of their hearts.
During these critical times, I come to ask all of you, My children, to turn you
eyes back on My Son, Jesus, to see His sacrifice of love, that you may
understand the hope of His Resurrection. He wants you to understand that even
in these times of pain there is hope, because He is Hope. Walk with Him that
your worldly burdens may be made lighter. Go to Him with your fears and troubles
and He will give you His peace and love in return. The world cannot continue on
this path of hatred and destruction for you will surely reach the destruction
of your soul. Take care of your soul, for that is precious to Him. It is your
soul that He came to save. Your bodies will wither away and die as all worldly
things that do not have spirit die, but your spirit will live in eternity with
Hi, or be lost to satan and his demons. Nurture your soul, treat it with much
care always keeping it in contact with My Son, for He is the great Lover of
souls and He wants to fill each one with His love, joy and peace. If you allow
Him to do this, you will walk through your sufferings in love, joy and peace.
Allow Me to touch your hearts with My love that you may open it to My Son,
because I love you and do not want to see you lost.” 18
Our
Lady, June 3, 1995
My
Dear Children, I have come to call you back to God, for it is only through that
action that this country, this continent, this world, can be saved. You My
children, today are living in extraordinary times. Satan is loose as he has
never been before and he has blatantly attacked and taken over the souls of
many. As he takes over, men's hearts become filled with hate, violence, and
destructiveness. Man turns against man. Hate and violence take over families,
then comunities and then it overtakes the world. The love and Spirit of God is
disregarded and cast away, and man turns against his brother and ironically
against himself. Husband and wife begin their life together based on wordly
love and soon end up in anger and hate towards each other, thus destroying all
around them. Children bred of this hatred and anger, themselves become
contaminaed with this same hatred and anger. There is no love or Spirit of God
found in these homes. This is where I have come to find My earthly children, in
chaos, and deep pain, because hatred and anger and violence breeds tremendously
deep pain. What does your world, your continent, your community need to bring
peace and contentment, mutual love and respect for each other, into the world
and into your lives? I have been chosen , as I was chosen long ago, to bring
the good news, the word that would save the world. I have come to tell all,
every one of My children about God's love, about His mercy, about His gifts to
you, His beloved children. When My Son died, He did not leave you unprepared.
He came into the world, taught all how to love; through His death He became the
greatest model, the greatest symbol of what love is. Was that all that He was
to do for you? No! He ascended into the Heavens that you might be given the
greatest Gift of all-His own Holy Spirit! It is through His Spirit that you can
be saved, for His Spirit brings strength, courage and fortitude. His Spirit
heals, brings peace, and such joy that it is almost impossible to understand.
It gives all the ability to love, respect and dignify each other. It fills a
man with holiness and the ability to withstand any hardship that can come his
way. The Holy Spirit of God can and will allow husband and wife to love and
respect each other, children to love their parents and parents their children,
communities to form out of love for each other, continents to blend together in
love and a world based on love. Allow the Holy Spirit of God to fall upon you.
Each one of you, allow it and then let the fire of His love spread throughout
the world. I love you and I thank you for listening to My Words.” 19
Our
Lady, July 1, 1995
My Dear Children, I have come to be with you, with all My earthly children during these times when humanity is in great need. There is such great need of love in the world. There is such great need of sincere care, one for the other. There is need of mutual understanding and respect. Man does not reach out in brotherhood and peace. Man does not love God nor is humanity open to love and obey Him, yet God continues to love His creations. He is a God of goodness and mercy. He desires goodness and peace for His children, yet His children turn against His love and reject Him. How do you reject Him? By rejecting and hating each other. My children, I come to find this world immersed in this destructful hatred for one another, this mistrust and anger. Men and women hate one another. Their behavior towards each other is that of enemies, instead of brothers and sister, as God created you to be. Yes, the evil one brings his deception upon the world, and humanity destroys each other at his will, for that is what he desires. The evil one desires to see men and women who do not believe in God, who reject God and who close their hearts to Him. When a man or woman fall into the deception of satan, they open up to his gifts, which are hate, anger, mistrust and a spirit of destructiveness. It is not God who will destroy humanity, but those who have allowed the evil of satan to enter and to breed his ways in them. This is what has destroyed families, friends and much of humanity. There is not trust or compassion among one another, only anger and abuse. Man's behavior against each other has become strange and paranoiac. This behavior comes only from satan himself. Is there a way for God's Children to work themselves out of this stronghold of evil that seems to overpower most of humanity? Will men and women be able to get away from this grip of evil that destroys and makes men hate each other? I come to bring you the good news of God's love for you. I come, not to bring you new revelations, but only to remind you of how much God has loved you and continues to love you. I come to reach out to all My beloved children in the world, to help all who desire to get out of this grip of hate and evil. I come once again to bring My beloved Son, Jesus to your hearts, to your souls. It is only through His power that humanity will be saved. I come to invite you, to encourage you, to beg that each one of your open your hearts to His loving arms and to your salvation. It is the Spirit of a loving God, Who desires to enter the hearts of each one of His children, that each one may return to His peace and joy. Please allow Him, so that love for one another may come into the world to reign. I love you and I thank you for listening to My words.” 20
Our
Lady, December 2, 1995
My
Dear Children, I who am your Mother have come into the world to be with you
during these times of strife and confusion that have fallen upon you, who are
the children of God. He, who is almighty has sent Me to bring to all, the Good
News of His love for you. His love has been for all the ages, for all times,
but His children on earth have been moved by the spirit of evil & cannot
recognize His great love. So I come to make My presence felt that you may be
reminded of His love for you, that you might be moved to open your hearts to
Him, Who does not leave you even in these times of disobedience of His laws. My
presence has been felt throughout the earth, and even those who find it hard to
acknowledge or honor My presence in the world have heard the stirrings as those
who honor Me unite & speak about my presence. They gather to pray for the
salvation of all of God's children in the world, because there are so many who
do not recognize or believe that My Son came to die so that all might be saved.
I come to call all men to faith, the faith that can save you. If you open your
hearts to My touch, I will assist you in finding the peace & love that
comes only from God. I want to help all, every soul in the world to find God.
You are My children given unto My heart by our Lord, & I want all of you to
love as He loves you & that through that love all humanity may come to love
& respect one another. It is through His love that you will come to unite
as brothers & sisters, loving & respecting one another. Many of you may
believe that this unity of love is a dream that you will never see, yet I tell
you, if you put God in your hearts and allow the flame of His love to grow in
you, the fire of love will overtake the world. It is only you, the children of
God who can stop it, through lack of faith, through lack of respect for each
other. Only hate and violence can destroy humanity. Hate & anger belong to
satan & he & his demons have spread this curse throughout the world. I
come to call you out of this curse. I come to call you to leave it behind &
to help open the world to the love & joy of your God. On this, a very
special time of season when believers & faithful ones acknowledge the birth
of our Saviour, Who came into the world to show mankind how to love, I want to
pour My blessings over all, those who honor & acknowledge Me & those
who do not for they all are My children whom I love. May these, My blessings of love, bring about a deep conversion of
all My children to God's love peace and joy. I spread My mantle of love &
blessings over the world, that all may find & know their God & love Him
so that all mankind may be restored as true children of God. I love you and
thank you for listening to my words. 21
Our
Lady, January 6, 1996
"I
would like for you to ask My children to pray in a very special way for all My
beloved priests throughout the world for they will need much strength in the
things to come this year. There will be a great movement of souls that will
come back to God. I ask that you also pray for the deacons and religious
communities within the Holy Church and for all the religious leaders of all
faiths in the world. This year there will be many souls who will return to God,
as they see the horrors of the sins of hatred and violence in their lives and
the lives of the children in the world. These religious leaders must be opened
to the abundant graces that Our Lord will pour over them, that they may become
very strong to receive the souls that will come to them seeking God and His
goodness in their lives. Pray very much for them that God's strength will carry
them through the work ahead." 22
Our
Lady, February 3, 1996
"My
Beloved Children, I have been sent into the world for a very special purpose.
As the destruction of the children of God continues because of hate and anger,
the heavens cry to see how lightly God's children have taken the gift of life
that God creates. The purpose of My coming is that I may come to touch hearts,
to call all souls to come back to God's ways. It is only if God's children
return to the ways of God that you, My children in the world, can begin to stop
the destruction of mankind on earth. How can you love one another if you have
hate and anger in your hearts? How can you respect one another if you cannot
tolerate each other? I have been sent to touch hearts, that they may open up to
receive God's love. Yet, it is only if hearts allow Me in, even in a small way,
that I can come in. In my love for you and in My great love for God, I come to
tell you, to warn you that time is running short. As man disregards man and
they destroy each other, the life that God created on earth diminishes. This is
offensive to our God. It is offensive to Our Lord to see men and women hate
each other. It is offensive to our God to see that peace does not prevail in
the hearts of men. Peace is a gift from Him, yet men have turned to chaos and
hatred instead of receiving the gift of peace which was meant for the world. As
for Me, My beloved, I am in despair as I see so many that do not know God's
love, therefore cannot love others. I am in despair to see men hurt and destroy
one another. It is during these times that God's love and mercy will pour from
the heavens. His abundant graces of mercy and love will be dispersed unto the
ends of the earth as He will not leave any possibility that all receive His
gifts. His arms will be outstretched and His Sacred Heart of Love will be ready
to receive those who come to Him in repentance. Come to Him, My beloved, come.
He is waiting. Do not wait any longer, you must return.To My warriors, My
soldiers who work for Me I say, do not tire of your work. Sharpen your weapons
which are your love and compassion, to receive with love your brothers and
sisters who will come in repentance. Continue the work of evangelizing; now
more than ever as God pours His love and mercy over the world. Regroup,
restructure and forge ahead with God's Holy Strength. Keep yourselves strong
with prayer, much prayer that you may feel the strength of God's love working
in you. As we walk together to conquer this earth and to assist all who come
into your lives to return to God's ways, be assured of My presence with you
every step of the way. I will not leave you without My assistance. Together we
will work to take all whom God brings to us, and to help them return to His
love. I love you My beloved children of
My heart and I hold you close to me always. I thank you for listening to My
words." 23
Our
Lady, March 2, 1996
“My
dear children, I am here in the world to lead My children to God. I came to
open pathways for all who desire to return to their salvation. I came to touch
hearts with My love so that hearts may open up to let our Lord in, that He may
steal hearts. I came to wage war against satan who has led many souls astray,
away from God and towards the loss of their souls. God in his infinite mercy
and love does not want His children to be lost, to move away from His love, to
turn away from Him. Yet, during these times that is exactly what has happened.
His children have been and are being deceived by evil. There are many who do
not acknowledge God, and are far away from His love. There are many who revel
in all manner of sin and have lost their souls to evil. There are many who do
not care where their lives are headed for, who no longer feel anything in their
hearts, as if their souls are dead. I anguish over My children that are lost,
that they may not hear My voice as I call all My little ones to return to God.
Will My children hear Me? There is one way. You who have heard My call must
take the good news of God's love to them. As I have been sent to the world to
call all God's children to Him that they may be saved, so I depend on My loyal
soldiers to be My voice throughout the world; that the news of God's Kingdom be
taken to all the ends of the earth, that My lost ones may find the hope in
their lives, who can only be their Savior. It is through My Son's great
sacrifice of love for all mankind that salvation comes for all. But will His
beloved children understand this truth? Will this truth of God's love be
acknowledged so that all may be saved? It will be through those who are
involved in the work I am doing in the world at present. My faithful ones, be
My voice! Take the news of God's love for all His children throughout the world
that His mercy may be known and that all will have the opportunity to be saved!
It is you My beloved faithful, who have been baptized by faith, who believe
that My Son came to die for the salvation of all men, that God our Father is
the great lover of all creation and that the Holy Spirit of God gives all the
strength necessary to follow God's goodness. It is you whom I depend on. Do not
give up, do not tire, for sometimes the road is hard. But for you that continue
the path of holiness and evangelization, there is a great reward awaiting for
you in heaven, such as you cannot even imagine. You also have My deep love and
gratitude for being My soldiers, those whom I can count on to do My work. I
love you and I thank you for your love for Me."24
Our
Lady, April 6, 1996
"My
dear children, I come on this day to bring you the message of God's love for you.
It is important that mankind understand during these times, the great love that
God has always had for His creations, His children. There are many throughout
the world that celebrate My Son's death, yet fail to see or understand that
this death was about love. There is no greater love than to give up your life
for your brother. So, My Son's death was the greatest act of love that God
could show the world, yet the world can no longer understand it. The prince of
lies has brought about sin and suffering into the world and destruction, hate
and violence is the result. Because men do not understand God's love for
mankind, they blame Him for this destruction. Men do not reflect on My Son's
death and resurrection, what's more, many do not even believe. Faith and hope
are gone because man only sees the suffering world brought about by the great
liar. There is no hope left in the world and very few believe that if men
return to God's ways this world can be restored to the joy and peace that comes
only from Him. My beloved children, how can you not see that the destruction of
the world has been brought through the hands of men and women who hate? Hate
and anger are the source of this destruction, not God. God made you out of His
love. He sent His Son into the world out of love. My Son Jesus died and
resurrected out of love. The Holy Spirit of God was sent into the world out of
love. Yet, all these deeds are ignored. God's love for mankind is forgotten and
disregarded by mankind, and humanity continues its path to destruction. I have
come to the world also because of God's love for you, to bring the good news of
His love. I beg all those who have eyes to see and ears to hear to hear my
voice, as I call all My children to change their lives, to convert, to leave
the sinfulness behind. Look at the anger and violence throughout the and see
that it does nothing but destroy you. My beloved children in the world. open
your hearts, see and understand God's great love for all of you. He continues
to pour His merciful love over the world, that mankind may repent and change,
so that this world can be saved. Today, in loud voice I say to all My children
throughout the world that God loves you, that I love you. Let My voice be heard
throughout the earth, that all men and women may hear and convert so that this
earth may come back to God, to His joy and His peace. My wish for all God's
children on this special day is that you open your eyes, ears and hearts to His
love, that He can enter into your souls, fill it and make it overflow into your
brothers and sisters. It is only when this happens that you, My beloved
children, will make this world change, that God's love will reign and that
hate, anger and violence will be no more. I love you My beloved one, and I
thank you for hearing My words." 25
Our
Lady, May 4, 1996
"My
dear children, I have come into the
world to call My children all over the earth to unite in My Son's Heart of love
and to tell you about that Heart of love that yearns for all souls to return to
Him. It is through His Heart of love that the world can be saved. It is only if
you, My children are immersed in His love that you can love each other with
purity, respect and compassion. Men and women must turn to Him soon if the
world is to survive the holocaust brought upon humanity by the evil one, satan.
The time is here My beloved ones, in which you must choose which side you will
exist--for God's goodness, peace and joy or in the evil one's clutches of
destruction and death. Hate, anger and violence belong to the evil one's realm,
for it is through these things that satan destroys souls. It is with hate and
violence that satan has won many souls. He has destroyed individuals, families,
communities. He has destroyed counties, continents and so much worldwide.
Through his lies the death of souls is rampant on earth and it lies in
darkness, misery, brokenness and confusion. What will you do My children to
break the siege of evil that seems so hard to break? I come to bring you the good news of God's power, that not only
can break through the darkness of death but can restore His love and peace all
over the world. His power and light starts in your hearts, as He heals the
world, one by one and fills each heart with His love, that this love can be
taken to every corner of the world through each one of His children that has
allowed Him in. Through each soul that has allowed Him in, He will reach many
more, until all men and women who desire to change through His power can do so
and receive His light. As His flame of love is received by each soul, it will
burn throughout the world in a blaze of fire of His love that cannot be
stopped; and the darkness of the evil will be eradicated from this earth and
joy, peace and love will reign. Who will
do it? It is you, My beloved warriors who have listened to My words and allowed
them to penetrate into your hearts. You who have allowed God's flame to take
hold of you hearts, allowed Him to change it, and through your new-found faith
will destroy the reign of evil with the love that burns in your soul for our
God. It is you who have allowed the Holy Spirit of God to fill you, strengthen
you and fill you with His courage that will bring about the victory of My
Immaculate Heart. These are times of great miracles. As My Son, Who when he
walked this earth made miracles occur that many might change hearts, so today
the miracles of conversion and love for each other will triumph over evil. Even
now, as we gather to pray together, the fire of God's love is ignited into a
flame of conversion. This is the good news---that God's Spirit is alive, that
he pours His mercy and love over the world, that many are opening their hearts
and responding that they may join Me full of courage and hope as we move
together to win this world and return it to sanity and to our God. My special
blessings upon you on this day, asking our Father in Heaven to keep you strong
and filled with His love and power. I love you and thank you for listening to
My words." 26
Our
Lady, December 20, 2003
My
Dearest Children, I come again to speak to you about the message that I came to
bring to the Americas years ago, to again call you to your God, but much
stronger than ever. Several years ago I came to call you to God, to ask you to
leave the way of the world and return to God’s love because I could see where
humanity was headed, I could see what was to come because of man’s intolerance
for one another, the hatred between men for reasons that were evil and of the
world.I came to plead that men love one another and leave anger and hatred
behind. These lessons to the Americas were of great importance if there was to
be peace in the world. The believers of My Son’s great sacrifice for humanity
settled in this country blessed by God our Heavenly Father with an abundance of
material goods for men’s needs, yet even so in this great country there exists
much greed and intolerance for one another.It is only through faith and
conversion of hearts that the people in this country can be all that God wants
from you, His blessed children. If peace in the world is to come it will be
through the way My Son came to teach. He said, “Love one another as I have
loved you.” The people in this country must become tolerant of each other,
regardless of the differences in one another; differences of race, color, or
creed. It is only through the faith My Son came to bring to all men that peace,
love, and respect can be spread throughout the world.Looming on the horizon is
a great danger for the world. The spirit of evil has become strong and this
evil threatens to take away all that you have been graced with through the
great sacrifice of My Son. To those who believe and have faith I say, beware
because evil threatens the very fiber of your faith. The evil that pervades
would take away by any means the gift My beloved Son left you. To those who
have yet to open their hearts to this truth totally I say beware because the
opportunity to choose may be threatened also, for the evil that moves around
the world would take away all freedom of choice. Please, My beloved children,
listen to my words as I say to you it is later than what you might want to
think. During this blessed time in which you remember my Son I come to call you
to change, to grow stronger than ever in your Christian faith, to reach out to
your brothers and sisters who have forgotten or have never known My Son’s
sacrifice, that they may know of my Son’s love for all men. The time is now!
You cannot put it off any longer. Let My words awaken you, that you might not
be jarred through some event that might take your freedom to choose God. I love
you and I ask that you listen to My words. 27
Our
Lady, The Immaculate Heart Church, undated
"I
asked Our Lady who she was, what she was doing, and who had sent her. Our Lady
said, "I am the Immaculate Heart of Mary." She then said, 'This is my
reign--this is the time of my reign. I am here to bring my children back to my
Son. The one who sent me is God, Our Father.' I then asked her who she was and
she said, 'I am the Immaculate Heart of Mary, but I am the same one that has
appeared all over the world.' She told me, 'Look around this church and see all
the different forms in which I have appeared."' Estela said that in this
church they have statues of Our Lady of Sorrows, Our Lady of Guadalupe, and Our
Lady of Fatima. Our Lady said: "Yes, I am the Mother of God, and I have
appeared in different places. There is only one and that is I and I am all of
these. But I come today, at this time, as the Immaculate Heart of Mary as this
is the reign of my Immaculate Heart. And I've come to call my children back to
God." 28
Our
Lady, undated (on September 11, bombings)
Why
are you surprised that these things are happening? Did I not come to warn you
about these things?' 29
Our
Lady, undated
“This
is the beginning of a great crisis that will occur ” 30
Our
Lady, undated
“You
are living in dark and hard times, and you need to believe in God's love for
you more than ever” 31
Our
Lady, undated
“He
is not the one who has brought the darkness into the world. This darkness has
been brought by evil, and it is impossible for you not to be affected by this
turmoil that is occurring around you." 32
Our
Lady, undated
“You
cannot begin to understand the spiritual warfare that is going on -- that
angels are all around you," said Mary in one message. "God sees
Satan's attacks and does not leave you and has never left you helpless. He is
also around you, wanting and desiring that you turn to Him out of love.” 33
Our
Lady, undated
“Satan
has unleashed all the demons in hell, and I have come to help you, each and
every one of you, to resist this evil which is so powerful throughout the
world…You, my children, are not blind, and you can see this evil that is so
evident all over. You can feel him trying to destroy you and thus overtake all
whom he can. As time moves on and Satan accelerates his attacks on the world,
you must know how to defend yourselves, how to be saved through our Lord, by
His mercy and goodness.”34
Our
Lady, undated
“Even
the great minds, the most learned of men, cannot understand the cause of this
chaos and turmoil in the world” 35
Our
Lady, undated
“Examine
what it is that controls your life," Mary purportedly said. "Is it
anger and hatred, or is it love, compassion, and goodness?” They were key
questions because the evil was working, warned the Virgin, "in the most
subtle way." In some of the most powerful language from any apparition,
Mary told Estela that these were "special times" in which the devil
was trying to flood us "so that his evil may not allow God's children to
be saved." 36
Our
Lady, undated
“The
kind of love understood by the world at the present moment was not true love,
said Mary, but "lust" -- "lust of the flesh, of material things,
and of sinful power." She warned about those who were intolerant of other
races and creeds. To disdain others was to lack love -- and no matter how
outwardly devout a person was, no matter how "religious," if he or
she did not love all other humans, if compassion was not shown, if there was
haughtiness, there was the presence of evil.”
37
Our
Lady, undated
The
greatest darkness was caused by self-idolatry and it was up to everyone to
bring his or her own life in order, said Mary. She mentioned a "great
catastrophe" that was possible. She said the world was coming to
destruction not through God's Hand but through our own. "We will not win
this war without disasters and catastrophes because the evil one is powerful
and has many who follow him," she said. "I come to warn you, my
little ones, that the world is at a crossroad. It will either cross into the
path of destruction, or allow Our Lord to reign in the hearts of men. Time is
running short." 38
