Thank you, Peter. After reading this, I now see why Pope Francis keeps asking people to pray for him. I think perhaps the violence spoken above may be spiritual and psychological in nature. We must ardently pray for Pope Francis, he needs our combined strength, as he is sorely under attack.
Hello all. I just recently started to read about Pedro Regis and these messages. I am trying to keep an open mind as I discern. Just wondering if you have advice on where I can start to get a bit more info? I have found the messages, but I'm curious about him, whether he is worthy of belief, etc. Any idea suggestions to find out more? Thanks in advance.
4290 Message of Our Lady Queen of Peace in Barroso (Minas Gerais), April 11, 2016 http://apelosurgentes.com.br/pt-br/ Dear children, trust, faith and hope. The Lord is by your side. Do not lose your faith. You are precious to the Lord and He expects much of you. Give me your hands and I will lead you to Him who is your Only and True Saviour. Do not stray from prayer. When you are away [from prayer], you become a target of the Devil. You are living in a time of great spiritual confusion. Be vigilant. The weapons for the Great Battle are: Confession, the Eucharist, Holy Scripture, the Holy Rosary, Consecration to my Immaculate Heart and Fidelity to the True Magisterium of the Church. Do not retreat. When all seems lost, the Lord's Victory will occur and the righteous will live happily. I am your Mother and I come from heaven to take/lead you to heaven. Be obedient and all will be well for you. Do not let the flame of faith go out within you. Be faithful to the Gospel and you will be transformed. Onward. This is the message I give you today in the name of the Most Holy Trinity. Thank you for having allowed Me to gather you here once more. I bless you in the name of the Father, of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Go in peace.
Do you find a striking similarity with the messages you posted and the vision of Don Bosco Most of the prophecies associated with Don Bosco came to him during dreams, but just as in Matthew's Gospel where the process of Joseph being instructed by angels during dreams is described it is clear that Don Bosco's experiences were more than the sort of dreams most of us have when asleep. Most of his dreams were concerned with the direction both he and his order, the Salesians, were to take in the future, and in particular with the boys who lived at his oratory in Turin. He would often speak to them just before they went to bed, sometimes predicting that one of their number would die within a certain period, but without indicating which. On 30 May 1862 Don Bosco at his 'Good Night' talk told his boys, and the young clerics he was training, about a dream he had dreamt a few nights previously: he actually described it as a parable or allegory. Strictly speaking a parable is a general story with a deeper meaning, but one in which the points of the story may not all be significant, while in an allegory every detail is important and meaningful. In the case of Don Bosco's dream it is difficult to know just how significant each point is. After some preliminary remarks he went on to describe what he had seen: "Try to picture yourselves with me on the seashore, or, better still, on an outlying cliff with no other land in sight. The vast expanse of water is covered with a formidable array of ships in battle formation, prows fitted with sharp spear-like beaks capable of breaking through any defence. All are heavily armed with cannons, incendiary bombs, and firearms of all sorts - even books - and are heading toward one stately ship, mightier than them all. As they try to close in, they try to ram it, set it afire, and cripple it as much as possible. "This stately vessel is shielded by a flotilla escort. Winds and waves are with the enemy. In this midst of this endless sea, two solid columns, a short distance apart, soar high into the sky: one is surmounted by a statue of the Immaculate Virgin at whose feet a large inscription reads: Help of Christians; the other, far loftier and sturdier, supports a [Communion] Host of proportionate size and bears beneath it the inscription Salvation of believers. "The flagship commander - the Roman Pontiff [the Pope]- seeing the enemy's fury and his auxiliary ships very grave predicament, summons his captains to a conference. However, as they discuss their strategy, a furious storm breaks out and they must return to their ships. When the storm abates, the Pope again summons his captains as the flagship keeps on its course. But the storm rages again. Standing at the helm, the Pope strains every muscle to steer his ship between the two columns from whose summits hang many anchors and strong hooks linked to chains. "The entire enemy fleet closes in to intercept and sink the flagship at all costs. They bombard it with everything they have: books and pamphlets, incendiary bombs, firearms, cannons. The battle rages ever more furious. Beaked prows ram the flagship again and again, but to no avail, as, unscathed and undaunted, it keeps on its course. At times a formidable ram splinters a gaping hole into its hull, but, immediately, a breeze from the two columns instantly seals the gash. "Meanwhile, enemy cannons blow up, firearms and beaks fall to pieces, ships crack up and sink to the bottom. In blind fury the enemy takes to hand-to-hand combat, cursing and blaspheming. Suddenly the Pope falls, seriously wounded. He is instantly helped up but, struck down a second time, dies. A shout of victory rises from the enemy and wild rejoicing sweeps their ships. But no sooner is the Pope dead than another takes his place. The captains of the auxiliary ships elected him so quickly that the news of the Pope's death coincides with that of his successor's election. The enemy's self-assurance wanes. "Breaking through all resistance, the new Pope steers his ship safely between the two columns and moors it to the two columns; first to the one surmounted by the Host, and then to the other, topped by the statue of the Virgin. At this point something unexpected happens. The enemy ships panic and disperse, colliding with and scuttling each other. Some auxiliary ships which had gallantly fought alongside their flagship are the first to tie up at the two columns. "Many others, which had fearfully kept far away from the fight, stand still, cautiously waiting until the wrecked enemy ships vanish under the waves. Then, they too head for the two columns, tie up at the swinging hooks, and ride safe and tranquil beside their flagship. A great calm now covers the sea." At this point Don Bosco asked one of the priests present for his views. He replied that he thought that the flagship symbolised the Church headed by the Pope, with the ships representing mankind and the sea as an image of the world. The ships defending the flagship he equated with the laity and the attackers with those trying to destroy the Church, while the two columns represented devotion to Mary and the Eucharist. He did not mention the death of the Pope and neither did Don Bosco in his reply, in which he agreed with what the priest had said, while adding that the enemy ships symbolised persecutions: "Very grave trials await the Church. What we have suffered so far is almost nothing compared to what is going to happen. The enemies of the Church are symbolised by the ships which strive their utmost to sink the flagship. Only two things can save us in such a grave hour: devotion to Mary and frequent Communion. Let us do our very best to use these two means and have others use them everywhere." At dinner with Don Bosco he began to narrate the dream and was quite certain that two popes had fallen, since he was sure that after the first was struck down the captains of the other ships had said, 'Let's hurry, We can quickly replace him'; on the second occasion he maintained that they had said nothing. Don Bosco seemed to back up this version of events by calling attention to what was being said, and so its probable that we are dealing with three popes in the account. The emphasis on the role of Mary, Help of Christians, and the Blessed Sacrament, are also significant especially with regard to the message given at Fatima when Mary promised a period of peace for the world following troubled times, paralleled by the 'great calm' of Don Bosco's dream.
This message pretty much sums it all up. This sentence is so important>> "When you are away [from prayer], you become a target of the Devil". How many times have we recognized this truth?

My personal interpretation: during the time of persecution of the Church, many sacred places will be destroyed: 20 April, 2008. Message from Our Lady of Peace, 2986, Source[2] Dear Sons and Daughters, humanity is sick and needs to be cured. Return to Him Who is your only Way, Truth, and Life. I ask you to be meek and humble of heart, for this is the only way you can accept My appeals. I don´t come from heaven to obligate you, but don´t forget, to whom much has been given, much will be expected. You are not alone. The Lord is very near to you. Bend your knees in prayer for the conversion of sinners. Pray also for the Church of My Jesus. The force of the opponent will cause great suffering for My poor children. The Church will be persecuted and in many places temples will be destroyed. Famous sanctuaries will be attacked and death will be present in the bosom of the Church. I suffer because of what awaits you. The future of humanity will be sorrowful. Seek The Lord. Your salvation is only in Him. Forward without fear. This is the message that I transmit to you in the name of The Most Holy Trinity. Thank you for permitting Me to reunite you here one more time. I bless you in the name of The Father, and of The Son, and of The Holy Spirit. Amen. Be in peace. 3338 - Message of Our Lady Queen of Peace, transmitted in 29/06/2010 Dear children , love and defend the truth. Accept with joy and courage the Gospel of My Son Jesus in order to be saved. Do not leave the path I have pointed out . Do not want to oblige you, but what I say should be taken seriously. Bend your knees in prayer for the Church. Although you will have great trials. The Church of My Jesus will experience the weight of the troubles and come to Her ordeal. There will be great persecution of the Church. The dogmas will be despised and men and women of faith will be persecuted. Many devoted will be persecuted and killed, laws will be created and the church will find barriers to proclaim the truth. I grieve for what comes to you. Be strong and steadfast in the faith. I am your Mom and will always be near you. Whatever happens , do not let the devil win. Ye the Lord. In him is your victory. Onwards. A scandal will shake the world. The mask of the devil fall. What was announced as the truth is the fruit of falsehood. Pray. The devil wants to destroy my plans. Hear Me. This is the message I give you today in the name of the Most Holy Trinity. Thank you for permitting Me to reunite you here once more. I bless you in the name of The Father, and of The Son, and of The Holy Spirit. Amen. Be at peace. Thus the message could refer to the day when evil people will have access to the Shroud of Turin, to destroy it. This is why it is specified that men and women of faith will suffer, and not every man.
I have a strong sense that the Vatican Church of St. Peter will be the first of the many to be destroyed before the end of the year.
24 July, 2005, Message 2553, Source [1] Dear Sons and Daughters, mankind has gotten away from God, and the time of the great return has come. Mankind will live moments of great sufferings. Many of My poor children go like the blind and are heading towards the abyss of self-destruction. Return quickly. You are important to The Lord. Don´t flee from His Grace. Terrorists will come to the Vatican. The plaza will be filled with corpses. Humanity will see the evil action of the men with long beards. The Colosseum will fall apart. Know that the Lord is saddened by your sins. Behold the times of great tribulations. Bend your knees in prayer. I am your Mom and I suffer for what is awaiting you. Belong to The Lord. He is your all and without Him you can do nothing. Forward with courage. This is the message I give you in the name of the Most Holy Trinity. Thank you for permitting Me to reunite you here once more. I bless you in the name of The Father, and of The Son, and of The Holy Spirit. Amen. Be at peace. 12 December, 2006. Mesage 2772, Source [1] Dear Sons and Daughters, open your hearts to the love of The Lord. You are important for the realization of My plans. Make the effort to be imitators of My Son Jesus. I am your Mom and I know your hearts. Be meek and humble of heart. The Lord is with you. The palace will be surrounded by enemies who will come with great fury. Fire, destruction and death. The pain will be great. Pray. Prayer will transform hardened hearts. This is the message I transmit to you today in the name of The Most Holy Trinity. Thank you for permitting Me to reunite you here once more. I bless you in the name of The Father, and of The Son, and of The Holy Spirit. Amen. Be in peace. I personally don't think it will happen this year. Many things have to fulfill, yet.
Significant development just in from Anguera - translating from Pedro Regis's Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/pedroregis.alves?fref=ts Feast of the Coronation of Our Lady of Anguera 2016 'The day May 28, 2016 will be marked for ever. Every year at the end of May, the pilgrims of Our Lady from various states in Brazil and even from other countries come to Malhada Nova, place of pilgrimage for devotees of Our Lady, to crown Her Image. It is really a beautiful festival. This year the pilgrims had a happy surprise with the presence of the Metropolitan Archbishop of the Archdiocese of Feira de Santana, Zanoni Demettino Castro, who was at the site of pilgrimages at the invitation of Pedro Regis. Don Zanoni spoke to the pilgrims, sang with them and blessed them. As Pedro Regis told the pilgrims, the presence of Don Zanoni does not mean official recognition of the apparitions, but that the Archbishop was there as a spiritual father in order to convey a word and to bless everyone. Certainly the presence of Don Zanoni means that the Church really is the mother of all and that the pilgrims of Anguera are not abandoned. Viva Our Lady!' So, although this is not official recognition (logically, given that the alleged apparitions are ongoing)... things are certainly looking pretty good for Pedro Regis right now. My own sense is that the final Church approval of the San Nicolas apparitions in Argentina a few days ago may act as a catalyst for a few cautious bishops - particularly in Latin America - to be more overtly supportive of those seers in their dioceses whom they judge credible (Patricia Talbot in Ecuador, currently making diocesan-approved presentations in Poland, is another example who springs to mind).
The weapons for the Great Battle are: Confession, the Eucharist, Holy Scripture, the Holy Rosary, Consecration to my Immaculate Heart and Fidelity to the True Magisterium of the Church. Hmmm.....
One thing I find so striking in these messages from Latin America is how quickly Bishops and the clergy generally move to show public support of them. This would never happen in Ireland or, I suspect anywhere else in europe. I suspect that the visionaries true or false would either be codld shouldered or told to take a hike. I was wondering Peter, have you any theories why the Latin Amreican Bishops are so open to such phenomena? (it seems to be the same in Africa and Asia).
One major factor is definitely the relative weight of popular piety in the Global South compared to the Northern Hemisphere, where academic theology generally has far greater prestige (there are of course some exceptions to this generalization: Poland and Italy spring to mind - the Bishop supporting Edson Glauber and Maria do Carmo in Itapiranga, Brazil, is an Italian). There are naturally two ways of looking at this which seem to be on something of a collision course right now. One viewpoint is to look down on the South as superstitious, uneducated and syncretistic (if only they had the tools of higher Biblical criticism, cultural studies and modern hermeneutics...). While there may be a grain of truth to this, it can be retorted that the North has become so profoundly infected by intellectualism and rationalism, largely because of positivistic science and the Triumph of Technology, that it has largely become incapable of acknowledging the supernatural elements of Biblical faith and has as a result to a large extent denied the very foundation of authentic Christianity. This conflict between heart and head surely has to be a false dichotomy. As John Paul II made clear in his preamble to Fides et Ratio (1988), 'Faith and reason are like two wings on which the human spirit rises to the contemplation of truth; and God has placed in the human heart a desire to know the truth—in a word, to know himself—so that, by knowing and loving God, men and women may also come to the fullness of truth about themselves'.
Seems to denote that indeed there will soon be two leaders of the Church, one true Pope and one anti-pope, which seems to fall within several other prophetic consensus.
Or....the abolishing of a true Pope to the underground with the remnant faithful, and one created (perhaps with an apostate member of the former hierarchy of the institutional church to help make him, AC, look legitimate and accepted by many looking for the former type structure) by the AC's new universalist "church"....who would then be his "false prophet", spewing his "new gospel" of world equality, inclusivity, and the rest of the claptrap we're already getting used to hearing...and accepting!
