I had never heard of the alleged locutions from Jesus and Our Lady at Manduria, Italy until a few days ago (apologies if someone else has reported these on another thread). These locutions have allegedly been going on for 30 years but the thing that really drew my attention was a locution allegedly received in 2003 (10 years before Francis' election) which spoke of a future pope who would not be a father to the Church and would cause great confusion. The recipient of these alleged messages said that we are not to judge this man but to accept the suffering his papacy brings in silence and prayer and that this humiliation and confusion would end ultimately with a renewal. As someone who has said more than my fair share about Francis from his first days in office, it gives me pause for thought. She also talks (before the current situation in Gaza) of a war in the middle east with several combatant nations and of Russian/Islamic invasion of the west (just as numerous saints and beati have prophesied over centuries). Our Lady comes (allegedly) under the title of Our Lady of the Eucharist. (For your discernment). I saw when Googling the locutions that mention has previously been made on the forum about them back in 2016 - I will seek that out and read it. The Infant Jesus Weeps!

Established as not supernatural (2002, 2012 Vincenzo Pisanello, Bishop of Oria) Clicked on your second link and so many things are questionable...unless they are mistranslations. "God dreamed about us, wanting us to go to Him" "It is clear, therefore, how the Virgin Mother, having carried this Most Holy Bread in Her womb even before it was transubstantiated, celebrated this living and true God and it is obvious that she comes to us to tell us: “Dear children, if you feel lost it is because you have strayed from your Source ”. "Without Jesus the Eucharist our faith becomes poor and we no longer have the strength to produce beauty, wealth, holiness." Etc.
My humble opinion stick to the Church approved apparition. The rest are just distraction and infiltration to divide the faithful like what is happening in the.chucrh now . It's not coming.with the bang but slowly confused your heart, mind and soul. Evil is so clever .
Yes it's important to be careful but I am taking the message to offer up this suffering and try and pray & sacrifice more. I have found the last few weeks very stressful and feel my faith being shaken. I need to turn away from the nefarious goings on and focus more on Jesus & Mary.
Philippians 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report, if there be any virtue and if there be any praise, think on these things.
Edward Pentin’s talk on Pope Francis, and why God is allowing this. Excellent. https://edwardpentin.co.uk/perspect...tanding-the-crisis-and-where-we-go-from-here/

I find my reactions to the news of the pope's illness discomfitting. Let us pray, if this turns out to be the beginning of the end, that Jorge Bergoglio will die in Christ's bosom.
Yes I noticed this. The Vatican Press Office issued a statement saying he had been permitted to hospital, 'With a mild flu'. I thought to myself who gets admitted to hospital with a , 'Mild flu'. If a Pope were to die the Vatican Press Office would probably issue a statement that the Pope was, 'Sleeping peacefully' . I have no idea why these people think it is morally acceptable to tell such huge lies all the time. But they do.
