You are being called to be my apostles in the difficult times in which you are living. 296 e Do battle, my beloved ones, by means of love, which must become ever greater within you, until it reaches the very dimensions of the divine charity of the Heart of my Son Jesus. 296 f You see how, in your countries, my Adversary is fighting above all with hatred, which brings division and discord, unbridled egoism and violence everywhere. And thus many of my children often fall victims to terrorism, and blood flows in your streets. 296 g You must make love and goodness triumph. Quench the fire of hatred with the dew of your priestly love. Become my instruments for building up unity and brotherhood around you. For this, approach all, but especially those who are most in need and most alienated, with the tenderness of my motherly love. 296 h Do battle, my beloved ones, by means of prayer, which must be made in union with me and must be offered to God as your most precious contribution for the salvation of the world. 296 i In these countries of yours, the Church is seen as still divided, although the problem of its unity is keenly felt by many. I bless the efforts which are being made on the part of so many to bring about the restoration of the unity of the Church. But I confide to you, my children, that this can only take place through a special miracle on the part of the Holy Spirit and through a special intervention of my Immaculate Heart. 296 j For this I need much prayer. More is obtained through one day of intense prayer than through years of continuous discussions. Pray with faith and trust, with recollection and perseverance. Recite well the Liturgy of the Hours and the holy rosary, and let Holy Mass be the center of your apostolic day. Multiply everywhere the cenacles of prayer and fraternal sharing. I promise you that, after the triumph of my Immaculate Heart, these countries of yours will have the joy of seeing once again a renewed and united Church, which will reflect everywhere the splendor of Christ. 296 k Do battle, my beloved ones, by means of your personal immolation. Give me all your sufferings. They are precious to me because I can offer them to Jesus, that they may be united to his perennial and priestly intercession for you. 296 l Above all in these countries of yours, my Adversary is seducing you with the venom of neo-paganism and with an immorality which is spreading more and more and claiming victims among many of my children. How many young people are seduced by vice in their quest for all kinds of pleasure and, allured by the great spread of impurity and of drugs, live like sick people in need of help that they might be healed! 296 m Your priestly sufferings are the effective remedy for so many wounds which today, in ever-increasing numbers, are afflicting my poor children. Because of this, I am calling you each day to a greater immolation. 296 n May the peace of Jesus and my peace be in you. Live in peace of heart. Spread peace around you. I am the Queen of Peace. I am the Mother of Consolation. 296 o (excerpt) Through you I bless today all my beloved ones and all those children who are consecrated to me, both in these countries of yours and throughout the whole world."
FROM : MARIAN MOVEMENT OF PRIESTS- "To the Priests, Our Lady's Beloved Sons" Shrine of Knock, Ireland-Solemnity of Sts. Peter and Paul #385 [Excerpt]: With the Faith of Peter - June 29, 1988 385 a "Beloved sons, enlighten the earth with the light of Christ. Beloved sons, bring all people to Christ with the faith of Peter. 385 b It was upon Peter alone that Christ founded his Church. It was for Peter alone that Jesus prayed that his faith remain ever intact. It was to Peter alone that the Lord entrusted the task of confirming his brothers in the faith. 385 c Today you are celebrating the solemnity of the Holy Apostles, Peter and Paul, during this Marian Year, consecrated to me. 385 d As a sorrowful and concerned Mother, I urge you all to look today to the successor of Peter, Pope John Paul II. He is my Pope. He is the Pope who has been formed by me in the depths of my Immaculate Heart. He is the Pope of my great light, in these times of greatest darkness. 385 e With the faith of Peter, he is enlightening the earth and confirming all the Church in the truth. The Pope today, as a new Peter, is reaffirming the total faith in Christ the Son of God and, as a new Paul, is going to every part of the world to proclaim with courage his Gospel of salvation. 385 f Support the Pope by your filial unity. Pray for him; suffer with him; love him; surround him with a powerful force of humble and courageous obedience. 385 g The heart of the Pope is bleeding today because of one bishop of the holy Church of God who, through an arbitrary episcopal ordination carried out against his [the Pope' s] will, is opening up a painful schism in the Catholic Church. 385 h But this is only the beginning. In fact many bishops are, as of the present time, no longer united with the Pope and are moving along a road which is opposed to that which he is pointing out. This is a greater and more dangerous deviation, even if it is not yet visible, and one which gives pain to my motherly Heart and causes it to bleed and, as it were, causes my Pope to fall under the weight of a cross which is too heavy. 385 i I have prepared you so that you may help him to carry his great cross. For this, the hour has come when there must appear, in all its force and its splendor, the great army which, in silence and in hiddenness, I have been forming for myself during these years in every part of the world, through my Marian Movement of Priests, for the defense and the strong support of the Pope. 385 j (excerpt) Thus there is beginning to be delineated clearly the plan of the little flock, which will remain faithful to Christ and to his Church, guarded whole and entire in the garden of my Immaculate Heart."

I am always with you. I unite myself to your prayer; I am building up amongst you a greater capacity for communion and mutual love; I am giving you peace of heart and the joy of being, today, priests of my Son Jesus. I want to make you into instruments of my motherly tenderness; the apostles of my triumph; the gift which I am making to the Church, in these times of her purification and her great tribulation. 459 c It is above all a gift of love and of mercy. 459 d You see, my beloved sons, how great is her abandonment, how deep her desolation! 459 e The Church is today climbing Calvary, bearing a heavy cross. The spirit of the world has penetrated into her interior and has spread everywhere. How many are the priestly and religious lives dried up by secularism, which has possessed them completely. 459 f The faith, in many of them, has been extinguished, because of the errors which are increasingly taught and followed; the life of grace has been buried by sins which are committed, justified and no longer confessed. Their hearts have become enslaved by many disordered passions and no longer have the capacity to feel joy and peace. 459 g (excerpt) You, O priests consecrated to my Immaculate Heart, be the expression of my motherly love and my great mercy. Love these brothers of yours by good example, by prayer, by advice and by welcoming with love, for them, all the sufferings which the Heavenly Father sends you. 459 h Then the whole Church will feel the comfort which the heavenly Mother is giving her through you, and in this way she will be helped to carry her great cross towards Calvary. 459 i It is also a gift of consolation and of hope. 459 j Through you, the Church will feel, in an increasingly powerful way, the presence of the heavenly Mother. And the presence of the Mother will bring to the Church the grace of her total renewal, causing her finally to emerge from the long night in which she finds herself, towards the bright day of the new times which are about to come. Thus the Church will be consoled at seeing the faith again flourishing everywhere, hope being renewed, charity expanding and a great holiness spreading. 459 k You, O beloved sons, be the flowers which come to maturity on the tree of your life of consecration to my Immaculate Heart, in order to cause the heavenly dew of hope and of my motherly consolation to come down upon the immense desert of today. 459 l It is above all a gift of salvation. 459 m (excerpt) How many are my children today who run the risk of being lost! How numerous are those far off, the atheists, the sinners, the victims of evil, of egoism, of violence and of hatred! 459 n Look at the millions of innocent babies who are being killed in the wombs of their mothers; at the young people set upon the evil experience of impurity and drugs; at the families which have been destroyed; at the sick, the poor, the abandoned and those in desperation. 459 o Through you, my beloved ones, my tender and anxious motherly help must come to all of them, to bring them to salvation. Gather up with your priestly hands these fallen, lost and scattered children of mine, and bring them all into the motherly sheepfold of my Immaculate Heart. 459 p Be light and security for all those who form part of other Christian confessions, and point out the harbor into which they must enter in order to fulfill the Will of my Son Jesus: the holy and Catholic Church, which has the Pope as its foundation and sure guide. 459 q I confirm to you that, after the triumph of my Immaculate Heart, there will remain, in these countries of yours, solely this one and only true Church. 459 r Leave this cenacle with joy. I am with you. Bear everywhere the charism of my presence and the light of my glory. 459 s (excerpt) With those who are dear to you, with all the souls who are entrusted to you, I bless you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
FROM : MARIAN MOVEMENT OF PRIESTS- "To the Priests, Our Lady's Beloved Sons" Birkenhead, England-Feast of our Lady of Fatima #458 [Excerpt]: The Great Sign in Heaven - October 13, 1991 458 a "Look to me, beloved sons and you who are consecrated to me, in the great battle which you are fighting, under the orders of your heavenly Leader. I am the Woman Clothed with the Sun. 458 b I am the great sign which appears in heaven. 458 c Today you are calling to mind my last apparition, which took place in Fatima in the Cova da Iria and which was confirmed by the miracle of the sun. This miracle shows you, in an extraordinary way, that I am the Woman Clothed with the Sun. This miracle invites you to look to me as to the great sign which appears in heaven. 458 d I am a great sign of battle between me and my Adversary, between the Woman and the Dragon, between my army and the army guided by the enemy of God. You are entering into the decisive times of the battle. 458 e You are preparing to live through the most difficult hours and the greatest of sufferings. It is necessary that all of you come as quickly as possible to form part of my army. For this, I again invite my children to consecrate themselves to my Immaculate Heart and to entrust themselves to me as little children. 458 f (excerpt) Today, I am extending this invitation of mine, above all, to the little ones, to the poor, to those who are least, to the sick and to the sinners. Come, all of you, to fight beneath the sign of your immaculate Mother, because it is with the weakness of the little ones, with the trust of the poor and with the suffering of the sick that I am today fighting my great battle. 458 g I am a great sign of victory. 458 h I am the victorious Woman. In the end, the power of Satan will be destroyed; and I myself will bind him with my chain; and I will shut him up within his kingdom of death and of eternal torment, from which he will not be able to get out. 458 i In the world, there will reign the one and only Conqueror of sin and of death, the King of the entire created universe, Jesus Christ. 458 j Let yourselves be now signed with my seal. 458 k In these times, the angels of light are going about the world to mark, with the sign of the Cross, all those who form part of my victorious army. Against these, the Star of the Abyss will have no power, even if they will be called to great sufferings and some to shed their own blood. 458 l But it will be with the great sufferings of these children of mine that I will obtain my greatest victory. 458 m (excerpt) Today, I am inviting you to look to me, as to the great sign which is appearing in heaven, in order to live in trust and in serenity, as you are enlightened by my own light and signed by my motherly seal."
