If we examine some details in the visions, the war mentioned in December must be very close. First, I believe that Simona would first highlight what most struck her about our Lady's appearance. It was Mary's sorrow that she mentions first. I listed this ongoing focus on a deepening sadness in post # 74. Second, St. Michael in armor was first described in the October 26 visitations. Now in January, he appears in both the apparitions on the 8th and the 26th. I believe he is a representation of the impending war. It is both fascinating and unnerving to witness an intensification of symbolic actions! We can mitigate this war through our prayers. Let us obey our Mother and offer sacrifices and renunciation with greater strength and faith. Lord have MERCY! Safe in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary!
People should recall as Peace ends and we enter a time of Great War, that this is not a punishment or Chatisement from God. It is not God who decalres war on us or wages war. It is man who decides to go to war , just as it is men who will kill each other. It is we and we alone we must point the fainger at each other for our sinfulness who bring wars and all they entail upon our selves, just as it is the Prince of Peace who leads us to the Land of Peace. Let us look beyond the days of horror and death which are to be visited upon us to the Days of Peace Promised us by Our Dear Lord. To the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Till that Great Day of Grace Dawns upon us, let us hold each other in our prayers and in our hearts. God Bless you all. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-35449152
Message of Our Lady of Zaro, February 8, 2016, given to Simona http://cenacolimariapellegrina.blogspot.fr/ I saw Mother dressed all in white, on the head a thin white veil with golden dots, a gold belt around her waist and a white mantle with golden borders that went down from her shoulders to her bare feet which were resting on the world . With her right foot Mother was crushing the head of the ancient enemy in the form of serpent, and under her left foot she had the crescent moon. Her hands were clasped in a sign of prayer, and between them was a very long pearl rosary. Behind Mother's right shoulder was the crucified Jesus in agony. May Jesus Christ be praised "Dear children, I love you and I thank you that you have come to me. My children, I ask you again for prayer, I ask it from you with heart in hand: pray my children, pray. Children, God the Father does not need your prayers: you have need of Him; without you God the Father always remains that which he is, but without Him you are nothing. I love you my children, love and respect the elderly; in them is the knowledge and wisdom of life lived. Teach respect, love and prayer to children, for theirs is the world's future; love and honour God - He is your father and creator, and he loves you immensely. My children, a great danger surrounds you, but do not fear, I am with you, I caress you, I wipe the tears from your face and mop the sweat from your brow, I come among you and caress you; I love my children, I love you. Let yourselves be embraced, do not walk away from me, let me cover you all with my mantle. It is not for you to judge who is worthy of my love: you are all my children from the largest to the smallest, from the richest to the poorest, from the best to the worst, from the first to the last, and I love you all. I knock on the door of the heart of each one of you, and I am waiting for you to open up to me and let me enter. Pray, my children, pray, and teach how to pray. Pray, children, pray, pray. Now I give you my holy blessing. Thank you for having hastened to me." Let us pray that the leaders of the nations might promote peace and avoid the outbreak of a war.
Message of Our Lady of Zaro, February 8, 2016, given to Angela http://cenacolimariapellegrina.blogspot.fr/ This evening Mother appeared all dressed in white. The edges of her dress were golden, she had a long blue mantle that went from her head all the way down to her feet. Her hands were joined in a sign of prayer, on her head was a Queen's crown, and her bare feet rested on the world. To her right was Jesus on the cross; he had the marks of his scourging, and his head was crowned with thorns; he was dripping blood. Mother was sad and her face was bathed in tears. Praised be Jesus Christ "Dear children, this evening I am again here among you to ask for prayer. I love you, children, and I thank you that you have responded to this call of mine. My dearly beloved children, soon the Church will begin the period of Lent, a time of grace, a time of conversion. My children, if you want to change and want finally to belong to God, this is the right time. Little children, I ask you during this time to fast, to pray and to spend more time before the Blessed Sacrament. I ask you, little children, to repent; change your way of life, change, because this is the time in which the Father is waiting for you with open arms. Little children, look what they did to my and your Jesus. Learn to contemplate the Crucified, see with what treachery and malice they tore off pieces of his skin. Contemplate his wounds, look at the nails that pierced his hands and his feet. Look at his side and observe the rage with which it was pierced. Look at the crown of thorns, each thorn of his head can save a soul. Learn to pray and to contemplate his wounds that even today, because of your sins, continue to bleed. Pray, pray, pray. In this extraordinary time pray for the whole Church and for every decision of the Vicar of Christ: pray for him, pray. I want once more to recommend that you pray for the salvation of all humanity, and especially for the conversion of sinners. Pray for my intentions. Now I bless you with maternal love. In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit." Amen.
Such evil and wicked governments around us throughout the world. Its true what the message states "a great danger surrounds" us. "Pray, my children, pray, and teach how to pray. Pray, children, pray, pray."
Message of Our Lady of Zaro, February 26, 2016, given to Angela http://cenacolimariapellegrina.blogspot.fr/ This afternoon, Mother appeared all dressed in a bluish gray garment; her bare feet were resting on the world and in her hands was a golden monstrance in the form of a sun with rays emanating light, and in the centre was Jesus in the Eucharist. Mother was sad. May Jesus Christ be praised "My dear children, today I come to you as Mother of Divine Love and I bring to you Jesus in his full Majesty. Here Jesus is alive and true (showing me the monstrance). Pray, my children, this is a time of grace and conversion, this is a time to return to God and to leave [behind] the old man. My dearly beloved children, I ask you to convert and to fast, to make penance and to pray. Take refuge in prayer: do so in silence - that is where God speaks, that is where He shows himself. Pray and do so without others knowing; lift your soul up to God and make his love enter your hearts. Today I intercede and pray for each one of you, so that love and peace might enter your hearts. Children, I love you immensely, I love you without limits, I love you as a true mother. " Then I prayed with Mother and finally she asked me: "Now adore Jesus." Finally she blessed everyone. In the Name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen.
Am I mistaken or is this message very, very similar to Medjugorje message from 25th. Of course it would make sense, from the same Heavenly Mother.
Message of Our Lady of Zaro, February 26, 2016, given to Simona http://cenacolimariapellegrina.blogspot.fr/ I saw Mother all dressed in pale gray; on her head was transparent veil studded with tiny gold lights, around her waist a golden belt, her hands were clasped in a sign of prayer, and between them were a small white dove and the Holy Rosary, made of glass-like drops, very long, reaching right down to her feet that were bare and resting on a rock, under which flowed a water course. May Jesus Christ be praised "Dear children, I love you and seeing you here today fills my heart with joy. I thank you, children, for what you are doing and I ask you again for prayer. My children, in this time of Lent, accompany prayer with good deeds and sacrifices; make offerings to the Lord. My children, Lent is a time of great graces, ask and you will receive, knock and it shall be opened unto you. My children, this year of mercy is a year of grace; pray, do not be discouraged by the difficulties you encounter along the way, remain steadfast in prayer and strong in faith. My children, I come to bring you a message of love, of peace. My children, do not stray from the faith, do not break my poor heart by worrying about superfluous things and the false beauty of this world. My children, learn to say to the Lord God, "Thy will be done" and learn to accept it. My children, learn to trust in God, the Father of mercy; He loves you immensely! Remember, my children - whoever trusts in the Lord is never disappointed -. Now I give you my holy blessing. Thank you for having hastened to me."
One reason I love these apparitions is the manner in which the children describe Mary with the many images that accompany her. I see the white dove pointing to the deep union Our Lady has with her Spouse, the Holy Spirit. Her bare feet rest on a rock above the flowing waters- I am sure they are life-giving waters-makes me want to dive right in and drink! Of course, the Rosary beads point to our union in prayer before the Throne of God! All glory be to the One Triune God! Come Lord Jesus! From the Book of Revelation: 21:5-6 The one who sat on the throne said...to the thirsty I will give a gift from the spring of life-giving water! 22:1 Then the angel showed me the river of life-giving water, sparkling like crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb... 22:17 The Spirit and the Bride say "Come." Let the hearer say, "Come." Let the one who thirsts come forward, and the one who wants it receive the gift of life-giving water. 22:20 "Come Lord Jesus!"
Yes, symbolism like this is a sure sign of the Presense of the Holy Spirit, it reminds me of Scripture.
Message of Our Lady of Zaro, March 8, 2016, given to Angela http://cenacolimariapellegrina.blogspot.fr/ This evening Mother was very sad; her face was streaked with tears. She was wearing a grey-bluish garment; the mantle enveloping her was of the same colour. Mother was barefoot and was resting her feet on the world; between her clasped hands was a long rosary that emanated light and reached almost all the way down to her feet. To her right was St Michael the Archangel and beside her Jesus on the Cross; he was bleeding and his wounds were open. May Jesus Christ be praised "Dear children, thank you for having responded again this evening to this call of mine. I love you my children, and tonight I ask you for prayer, prayer, prayer ... Children, do not let the cenacles die, but nourish them with prayer and works." At this point Mother said to me: "watch" I began to see scenes of wars, violence, destruction of various sorts that followed one after the other. "If all this happens it is because there is no love." At this point, she said: "Daughter, let us pray together by the sacred open and bleeding wounds of my Son Jesus. Let us pray so as to wipe the wounds with my and your prayer. For each wound of my Son we will say an Our Father. By his pierced and torn side, you will place within it any intention which has been entrusted to you and everything that you carry in your heart, and together we will say three Our Fathers. By his crown of thorns, let us pray for priests and for the Church and say an Our Father in reparation for the Eucharistic insults and sacrileges that are being committed in the world. " I prayed together with our Mother, and she told me: "Ah, if [only] the world loved me more." Finally she blessed everyone individually. In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Message of Our Lady of Zaro, March 8, 2016, given to Simona http://cenacolimariapellegrina.blogspot.fr/ I saw [our] Mother, she was dressed in an dusty rose-coloured garment, a golden sash around her waist, barefoot; on her shoulders she had an ashen grey mantle with a hood on her head. Her right hand was placed on her chest, with the Holy Rosary, and her left hand was turned toward us. May Jesus Christ be praised "Dear children, seeing you here fills my heart with joy. In this hard time of Lent, pray, children, do not be caught up with the discomfort of life's difficulties; pray, pray for my beloved Church, pray for my favoured son, the vicar of Christ. Daughter, now pray with me the holy Wounds of our beloved Jesus. " We started to pray together and then Mother said: "Now I give you my holy blessing. Thank you for having hastened to me. "
Yet one more message from our Lady speaking of the war that is about to implode as she did at Fatima and Akita. Yet, she still gives the remedy. Prayer in meditation on the wounds of our Lords passion. Its so simple. If only our Bishops and Priest had the same message and the laity would listen. Gee, if only Trump or Cruz or Rubio could get elected it would change everything heaven is telling us. Not!
Message of Our Lady of Zaro, March 26, 2016, given to Simona http://cenacolimariapellegrina.blogspot.fr/ I saw [Our] sorrowful Mother: she was dressed all in black, on her head was a black cloak wrapped around her and going all the way down to her feet; around the head she had a crown of twelve stars, her face was sad and sweet at the same time, her cheeks were streaked with tears and her eyes were bright. Between her hands clasped in prayer the Heavenly Mother was holding the holy rosary; her feet were bare and were resting on a barren and bare earth. May Jesus Christ be praised "My children, pray. My Jesus died on the cross in terrible pain just for you, to free you from slavery to sin and to give you eternal life; and you, my children, what are you doing for him?" Mother said to me: "Come, daughter, let us adore him in silence." I found myself at the foot of the cross with Jesus in agony, dripping blood, I felt His suffering and His love for us, so great and immense; the suffering of Our Mother and her immense faith in God, her acceptance of God's will without saying anything, without doubt or fear. Mother knew that all of this, all that pain was for our salvation, and [that] with his heart filled with love he has forgiven everyone. Then I heard the hearts of our Mother and Jesus beating in unison. With Jesus's last breath his heart stopped, and for a moment that of our Mother also stopped beating, then out of love for us it started beating again. "My children, I love you immensely. Children, kneel at the foot of the cross and adore my son [who] died for you, let yourselves be flooded and washed by His blood you in order to purify you, flood you, mould you, heal you. My children, open your hearts and let yourselves be flooded by His immense love, a love so great that has never been taken back, giving you His own life. Now I give you my holy blessing. Thank you for having hastened to me."
Have you applied Fr Hardons great discernment advice to these messages Peter? 16;20 We are all to become mystical in our spiritual lives and understanding of our faith. 18:20 True Mystics enjoy suffering for the love of God. 19:35 I didn't come to entertain you but to enlighten you 20:00 total death to self, self will...so much for mystics and mysticism 24;55 all visionaries believe they have knowledge...great discernment is needed 28:00 I think most visionaries are not authentic... 30;00 true visionaries reveal not things already known but authentically and miraculously revealed by God...full consistency with Catholic Faith. If one paragraph wrong then whole thing should be discarded. 33:20 Big responsibility to declare locutions or revelation from God...the norms the church requires the seers must have lived extremely holy lives or have performed miracles. Miracles as the fruit of communications. 36:25 False religions have come from visionaries...authentic mystic practices humility. Authentic mystic never publicize his/her revelation. 1st condition of super natural mysticism is deep sincere humility. If visionaries promote they are only mystics in there own mind. True mystics are obedient to churches authority. 40:00 Not all bishops are saints... 42:00 2nd norm true visionary or authentic mystic always submits to authority in Catholic church...vested in the successor of the apostles and the Bishop of Rome. 43:00 One true way to know a true visionary and mystic is by His/Her Holiness of life. 44:00 We are living in age of visionaries...we need loyalty to the Bishop of Rome. Obedience to Holy Father...no visions to be trusted until authenticated by Bishop of Rome.
As always with purported private revelations, these are submitted for the discernment of readers, who should judge for themselves. The position of the church regarding Zaro is that an official diocesan commission was established on August 15, 2014 by the Bishop of Ischia Pietro Lagnese to investigate these alleged apparitions, soliciting testimonies of healings/special graces. This fact implies that it is assumed by the Bishop that some people will believe in their authenticity and that Heaven's response (or lack of it) to their prayers will be a factor in the commission's evaluation. Naturally, if the latter results in a constat de non supernaturalitate condemnation - which needs to be clearly distinguished from the open verdict non constat di supernaturalitate -, this thread will be removed. If you have objections regarding Zaro, you can contact the president of the commission by email at commissionezaro@chiesaischia.it
