October 13th, 1980

Our Lady appeared once more in the same place...

and Bernardo insisted that she let herself be seen by the other people...

so they would believe. 

He told her, that the people said that it was the devil who appeared to him, and that Our Lady was dead, dead as the dust like any other mortal being.

With that, Our Lady was saddened and started to cry.

-

Bernardo thought that it was his fault and told her, 

“My Lady, forgive me for what I said. You must be very angry with me. Forgive me. Forgive me.” 

But, Our Lady told him, “I am not angry, nor do I get angry. I am saddened by these people’s hardness of heart. You must pray for them, that they may change.” 

Bernardo started to cry. He was filled with sadness at seeing Our Lady in this state. 

While Bernardo cried, Our Lady gave him this message: 

“Pray the Rosary. Meditate the mysteries. Listen to the Word of God spoken in them. Love one another. Love each other. Forgive one another. Make peace. Do not pray for peace without making peace, otherwise it will be useless that you pray for it. Carry out your duties. Put the Word of the Lord in practice. Try to please God. Serve your neighbor, for that is pleasing to Him.”

-

Bernardo told her...

that he had a lot of things to ask of her, on behalf of the people. 

She answered, “They ask me for things of no importance. Ask for faith, to have the strength for each one to carry his cross. They cannot be spared the sufferings of this world. Sufferings are the cross that you all must carry. This is how life is. 

There are difficulties with your husband, your wife, your children, your siblings... Dialogue, speak with one another, in order to resolve your problems in peace. Do not resort to violence. Never resort to violence. Ask for faith, so as to obtain patience.”

-

Then, she told him that she would return no more. 

In reply, Bernardo began to shout, 

“Do not leave us, my Mother! Do not leave us, my Mother! Do not leave us, my Mother!” 

Our Lady calmed him with her words: 

"Do not be troubled. I am with you, even though you can’t see me. I am the mother of all of you, sinners. Love one another. Forgive one another. Make peace, because if you all do not make peace, there will be no peace. Do not resort to violence. Never resort to violence. 

Nicaragua has suffered much since the earthquake, and it will continue suffering if you all do not change. If you all do not change, the third World War will arrive sooner than anticipated. Pray, pray to my Son for the entire world. The world is threatened by serious dangers. 

A mother never forgets her children, and I have not forgotten what you suffer. I am the mother of all of you, sinners. Call upon me with these words: 'Blessed Virgin, you are my Mother, the Mother of all of us, sinners.'"
