pronto




Dear children... 

you know that the world is suffering very much... 

and that each new day, innumerable souls are lost, condemning themselves to the path of purgatory.

Therefore I call you to live the prayer of the heart, because your prayer will be the only hope for the salvation of many hearts. Above all, of those children who in the ignorance of their lives offend God.

Lovingly I ask you to pray under the Light of God, and to commend to Him all souls possible, through the power of prayer. Those that still do not pray, do not do so because they lack Maternal Love and need to quench the thirst that their souls have felt for so long.

Dear children, this is a defining time, a time of changes. This is why I invite you to be conscious of your task of prayer so that more Light from the Universe of God may be able to help and save condemned souls.

My children, hold in your hands the prayer of the Rosary and may each new prayer that you realize be an offering and a supplication to the Mercy of Jesus.

In My Son is the path. 

In My Son your redemption and your forgiveness are to be found.

Be awake to prayer!

Thank you for responding to My call.

Mary, Mother of the Divine Conception 

of the Trinity

De Sint-Antoniuskapel (1299)... 

in haar huidige versie (1617)... 

is een kapel in de Belgische stad Leuven. 

Ze staat op het Pater Damiaanplein, en is eigendom van de paters Picpussen sinds 1860. 

De heiligen die er vereerd werden, zijn de Maagd Maria (va.13e eeuw), Antonius van Egypte (va.16e eeuw), Jozef van Nazareth (va.19e eeuw) en pater Damiaan/Jozef de Veuster (va.20e eeuw). 

Pater Damiaan ligt er begraven in de crypte.


De studenten van de kapittelschool van Sint-Pieter en hun leermeesters kwamen er samen voor de verering van de Maagd Maria. De kapel werd genoemd Mariakapel of Capella Clericorum [kapel van de clerici]. De eigenaar was de stad Leuven.

Begin 1500 ontstond er een verering van de heilige Antonius van Egypte, deze heilige riep men aan tegen de pest. H. Antonius kreeg een apart altaar en een klok in de kapeltoren werd naar hem vernoemd. Vanaf 1539 volgden er jaarlijks processies voor Antonius. In de volksmond werd de kapel de Sint-Antoniuskapel genoemd. De Mariaverering verdween helemaal. 

In 1617 werd de Sint-Antoniuskapel gebouwd in de versie die vandaag nog het uitzicht geeft. De stijl was laatgotisch. Er gebeurden nog restauraties in de 18e eeuw, en in 1780 werden bovendien de zijarmen van het transept afgesmeten wegens verkrotting. Op de plaats van de zijarmen werden kleine huizen tegen de kapel aan gebouwd. 




Op 15 november 1797 sloot het Frans bestuur de kapel, zoals ze ook deed met de rest van de universiteit. Op hun beslissing werd het Bestuur der Leuvense Godshuizen eigenaar van de kapel en de godshuizen even verderop. Hun voornaamste taak was die godshuizen te beheren voor de behoeftige bevolking, en niet de kapel te gebruiken. 

Zij verhuurden de kapel daarom als stoffenmagazijn of als schrijnwerkerij. 

Ook Protestanten uit Leuven huurden de kapel van 1847 tot 1853.




De kapel en vier aanliggende huizen werden publiek verkocht in 1860. 

De paters Picpussen kochten dit alles. De Congregatie bezat, vlak ernaast op de Antoniusberg, al een seminarie [voor hun priesters-missionarissen], het voormalig Divaeuscollege. De Picpussen renoveerden de kapel en heropenden haar in 1861 onder de naam Heiligdom van Sint-Jozef. Het was het begin van een belangrijke Jozefvererering in de 19e eeuw. 

Duizenden pelgrims kwamen jaarlijks naar Leuven naar de Sint-Jozefskapel. Een glasraam met de negen Belgische provincies herinnert hieraan. Grote processies ter ere van Jozef volgden vanaf 1901. Door de toevloed van pelgrims kochten de Picpussen op de Ramberg een processiepark, het Sint-Jozefshof. In die tuin konden bedevaarders de zeven staties voor de heilige Jozef bezoeken. Centraal in de tuin was een heiligdom. De ingangspoort heeft als opschrift: Ite ad Josephum, 'Gaat naar Jozef.' 




In 1936... 

werd het stoffelijk overschot van pater Damiaan plechtig overgebracht vanuit Hawaï. 

Zijn rustplaats werd de crypte van de Sint-Jozefskapel. 

Dit gebeurde in aanwezigheid van koning Leopold III. 

De crypte voor pater Damiaan bracht een stroom pelgrims op gang, ook vanuit het buitenland. De paters Picpussen waren genoodzaakt de kapel te herbouwen (1960-1961). De architecten slaagden erin de benedenruimte te behouden voor het mausoleum van pater Damiaan, en vandaaruit een trappenpartij te bouwen naar een hoger gelegen kapelruimte.

Kapel en crypte zijn dagelijks open.

Van 9-18u.

beatitudes



Blessed are they who, in spite of all gifts received, always allow themselves to be shaped and corrected by the Hands of God.

Blessed are they who never cease to be apprentices, those who never miss the chance to observe, learn and grow, each day, further becoming representatives of the good, and of the peace in the world.

Blessed are they who teach through example, and from their mouths comes forth wise words, that love, and with love correct, that which was off of the path and the Purpose of God.

Blessed are they who seek humility, those who work so that others may grow, those who love the steps taken and the opportunities received by their brothers and sisters.

Blessed are they who observe the faults of others with compassion, and do not affirm and reaffirm the error of a neighbor in order to justify their own errors, and feel themselves to be better than the rest.

Blessed are they who know how to be silent, in order to bring peace. But who do not stop speaking to condemn with their thoughts. But rather, they stop speaking, in order to open their heart and in thought pray, to attract Mercy.

Blessed are they who are transparent before God and their neighbors, those who free themselves from their ties through confession with Christ, those who do not fear to be seen as imperfect, weak and small in the eyes of the world.

Blessed are they who, in spite of everything, believe and search for the Kingdom of God within themselves. Those who do not deny their human condition, but rather recognize it as a passage to something greater.

Blessed are they who see the sacred within life on Earth. Those who are not satisfied with the energies of the world, and who simply walk toward the Heart of God.

Blessed are they who believe in the celestial spheres, in universal and higher life, those who know themselves to be only a small part of an immense and unknown life.

Blessed are they who always recognize themselves as ignorant, but who do not remain as such. Blessed are they who open, so that into their ignorance God may pour wisdom. And blessed are they who are always willing to go into infinity, from the simple fact of knowing themselves to be a part of it.

Blessed are they who love from the heart, because their own love will show them the path.

Blessed are they who aspire to be blessed and who strive for it, holding the fulfillment of the Will and the Plan of God as their only aspirations. Their efforts will be rewarded, with a perfect union with the Creator.

You have My blessing for this.

The Most Chaste 

Saint Joseph

netwerk

In the inner planes, there is a great network of prayerful souls that unite among themselves through the devotion to My Immaculate Heart. This union is established through the purest intentions and the truest supplications that spring from the heart of these souls.

In this time, this inner work has expanded due to the need of the planet and of humanity. The increase of intentions and supplications reach the ears of the Mother of God so that all situations may be attended.

In this great network of souls of the inner planes, there is a spiritual communication that is established between the prayerful beings and God. This communication is nurtured through prayer, which maintains the doors of the Heavens open so that Graces may descend.



All prayerful beings are called upon to enter this great network of devout souls that only pray so that different realities of humanity may be responded to.

In all this, the angelic universe fulfills a fundamental mission and carries forward the function of being an important intercessor between souls and God so that the Law of Mercy and Forgiveness may be fulfilled.

With each sincere and true prayer, an angel of the Lord can intercede for a situation that, in many cases, takes place within another location of the planet.

I thank you for responding to My call!

Who blesses you,

Your Mother, the Virgin Mary, Rose of Peace

vraag (ii)

The other virtues, although high and sublime... 

always cause the creature to be distinguished from her Creator. 

Only love transforms the soul in God. But no one can give true love, if love does not receive life and food by my Will. Therefore, it is my Will that, united with Love, forms the true transformation into Me. 

That soul is in continuous contact with my Power, Sanctity and all that I am. Therefore, one can say that she is another Me. Everything is precious, and all is sanctity for that soul. 

It can be said that even her breath, or the contact with the ground that she treads, is precious and holy, since these are nothing other than effects of my Will."



Then He added: 

"Oh, if all knew my Love and my Will, they would stop leaning on themselves and, even more, on others. Human supports would end. Oh, how many would find them insignificant, painful, un-comfortable! 

All would rely only on my Love. 

Which is most pure Spirit, and does not contain matter. 

So they would feel comfortable leaning within Me. 

And with the effects which they want.

My daughter...

Love wants to find souls...

emptied of everything. 

Otherwise they cannot wear the garment of love. 

It would happen as to that man who wanted to wear a suit, but that suit is stuffed [gevuld], so that he is unable fit in it. He tries to put an arm in the sleeve, but he finds it blocked. So that poor man has to either put it away, or make a bad impression. 

In the same way...

when Love wants to dress the soul with Itself...

if It doesn’t find the soul completely emptied... 

It withdraws in bitterness."


[Aug. 28th, 1912] 

vraag (i)

How sorry I feel...

in seeing the soul huddled within herself, and operating by herself. 

While I am close to her and look at her, seeing that many times she is unable to do well what she does, I wait for her to call Me and say: ‘I want to do this thing, but I am unable do it. Come and do it with me, and I’ll do everything well. 

For example: I want to love, come to love together with me. I want to pray, come and pray together with me. I want to make this sacrifice, come and give me your strength, for I feel weak... and so forth, with everything else. 

Gladly and with greatest delight, I would offer Myself for everything. 



I am like the teacher... 

who assigned an essay to his pupil, remaining close to him to see what his pupil does. Unable to do well, the pupil gets worried, worked up, upset, and he may even cry, but he doesn’t say: ‘Master, teach me how I should do this.’ 

What is not the mortification of the teacher, in feeling treated like a nothing by his student? 

Such is my condition.

Then He added: 

"It is said: man proposes, God disposes [regelt het]. 

As soon as the soul proposes to do some good - to be holy - I immediately dispose the things that are needed around her: light, graces, knowledge of Me, detachments. 

And if I do not achieve the purpose with these, then by means of mortifications I do not deny anything to that soul, in order to grant her what she had proposed. 

But oh, how many forcefully escape from this crafting that my Love has woven around them! Few are those who do not give up, and let Me accomplish my work."

piccarreta ८

Sometimes, then, while I was working...

a little slowly and listlessly [lusteloos]... 

He would say to me: “Hurry up, help yourself, for in the time you gain by helping yourself, you will come and be with Me in prayer.” 

-

Sometimes, He Himself would assign to me how much work I was supposed to do. Then I would pray Him to come and help me. “Yes, yes,” He would answer me, “We will do it together, so that when you have finished, we will be more free.” And it would happen that in one hour or two, I did what I was supposed to do during the whole day.

Then I would go to pray...

and He gave me much Light, and told me many things... 

such that it would be too long if I wanted to say them all.

-

I remember that while I was alone, working, I noticed that the thread was not enough to finish that work, and that I would need to go to my family in order to get some. 

So I turned to Him and I said: “What is the purpose of having helped me, my Beloved? As I see that I need to go to my family, I may find people who may prevent me from coming back here, and this time our conversation will come to nothing.”

“What, what?,” He said to me, “Don’t you have faith?”

“Yes.”

“Well then, do not fear, for I will make you complete everything.” 

And so it happened.

And then I would start to pray.

-

If then, at lunch time, I ate something tasty... 

immediately He would reprimand me interiorly, saying: 

“Have you perhaps forgotten that I had no other taste but suffering for Love of you? And that you must have no other taste but mortifying yourself for love of Me? Leave it aside, and eat that which you like the least.” 

And immediately, I would take it and bring it to the maid, or I would say that I didn’t want it any more; and many times I remained almost on an empty stomach.

However... 

when I would go to pray...

I would receive so much Strength and feel so Satiated... 

that I would feel nausea for everything. 



Other times then... 

in order to contradict me... 

if I did not feel like eating, He would say to me: “I want you to eat for love of Me, and as the food unites with the body, pray to Me that My Love may unite with your soul, and everything will be Sanctified.”

In a word, without going any further, even in the littlest things... 

He tried to make my will die...

so that it might live only for Him. 

-

He allowed that I be contradicted also by the confessor. 

As for example: 

I would feel a great need to receive Communion. For the whole day and night, I would do nothing but prepare myself. My eyes could not close to sleep, because of the continuous throbbing of my heart. I would say to Him: “Lord, hurry, for I cannot be without You. Accelerate the hours, let the sun rise quickly, for I cannot endure anymore, my heart is fainting.”

He Himself would make me such Loving Invitations, that I would feel my heart break. He would say to me: “See, I AM alone, do not be troubled because you cannot sleep - this is about keeping company with your God, with your Spouse, with your All, who is continuously offended. O please! do not deny Me this relief, because, then, in your afflictions I do not leave you.”

But while I was with these dispositions, in the morning I would go to the confessor, and without knowing why, the first thing he would say to me was: “I do not want you to receive Communion.”

I tell the Truth, this was so bitter for me, that sometimes I would do nothing but cry. I would not dare to say anything to the confessor, because He Himself wanted him to do so, otherwise He would reproach me. 

But I would go to Him and tell Him of my pain: “Ah! my Good, is this the vigil we have kept last night - that after so much waiting and yearning, I was to remain without You? I know well that I must obey, but tell me something - can I be without You? Who will give me Strength? And then, who will have the courage to depart from this church without bringing You along? I don’t know what to do, but You can remedy everything.”

While pouring myself out in this way, I would feel a Fire come near me, and a Flame enter into my heart. I would feel Him inside of me, and immediately He would say to me: “Calm yourself, calm yourself. Here you are - I AM already in your heart. What do you fear now? Do not afflict yourself any more, I Myself want to dry your tears. You are right, you could not be without Me, could you?”

I would then remain so very annihilated within myself, and I would say to Him that if I were good, He would not have disposed it that way, and I prayed Him never to leave me again, for I did not want to be without Him.

dargah (2)

Wa law annahum idh zhalamoo anfusahum jaooka fastaghfaro Allaha wastaghfara lahumur Rasolu lawajado Allaha tawwaban raheema... “And if, when they had wronged themselves, they had but come to you and asked forgiveness of Allah, and asked forgiveness of the messenger, they would have found Allah Forgiving, Merciful.” (Surat an-Nisa, The Women, 4:64)

-

When you’re an oppressor to yourself... 

Allah (AJ) is ordering you run! 

Run to the presence of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. How are you going to find the presence? In the majlis [associations]  of love, because when they love Prophet ﷺ, no doubt ruhaniyat e nabi ﷺ [spirituality of Prophet ﷺ] is with them, and the nazar, the gaze, of Prophet ﷺ is upon  them, and that is “Jaooka.” That you're now in the presence. 



Then Allah (AJ) says... 

‘Ask my forgiveness in that Presence.’ 

When you feel the nazar, you feel like you're going to cry, you feel the presence of Rauza Sharif [Holy Burial chamber] begin to ask Allah (AJ) for forgiveness and after you finish asking Allah (AJ) for forgiveness, ask the forgiveness of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. 

Ya Seyyidi Ya Rasulul Kareem [The Most Generous Prophet] Ya Habib al Azim [The Greatest Beloved] ilahi anta maqsoodi wa ridhka matloob... "I'm begging Allah’s (AJ) forgiveness, and your satisfaction your nazar be upon me, where I'm falling short and not doing and not believing correctly, and I ran to the wrong thing, instead of running to you, grant your nazar and your light upon me, and love upon me, and that will be my shifa and my healing."

fatima 3




De Profeet gzevzmh noemde haar...

'de moeder van zijn vader´! 

Na de Hegira [migratie naar Medina], woonde ze bij hem in hetzelfde huis. Ze was de laatste die hem zag wanneer hij op reis ging, en de eerste die hem zag toen hij terugkwam. De Profeet vond rust, kalmte, sereniteit en tederheid in het Huis van Fatima en Ali, haar man, omdat dit huis de islam belichaamde in al zijn waarden, in al zijn betekenissen, in al zijn spiritualiteit en in al zijn jihad.

De Profeet wist dat zijn dochter de hele nacht tot het ochtendgloren ´bij de Heer woonde´. Volgens haar zoon Imam al-Hassan, die al heel jong naar haar keek, ´bad ze tot haar voeten opgezwollen waren´. Intelligent en bijzonder bewust als hij was, was hij toch verbaasd om haar te horen bidden voor de gelovigen, en dus niet voor zichzelf.

Zij die zelf zeer kwetsbaar en zwak was, vanwege haar huishoudelijke werk...

En haar lijden, wanneer ze met deviantie werd geconfronteerd...

One of the miracles used in the canonization...

was wrought in the United States.


On September 20, 1866, Miss Mary Wilson arrived at the Convent of the Sacred Heart, Grand Coteau, Louisiana. Driven from her home in Canada by her Protestant parents, who were displeased on account of her conversion, she sought refuge as a postulant in the convent at Grand Coteau.

After a month of preparation, and on the eve of her reception among the novices, she was suddenly seized with a violent sickness. At last, it became evident that there was no hope of recovery by natural means.

A novena was at once begun in honor of blessed John Berchmans. On December 14, the last day of the novena, the condition of the patient was most pitiable. For 40 days, she had not taken an ounce of food. She took only a little tea or coffee, and the last eight days she had not been able to take even this.

She was expected to die at any moment. Her limbs were cold and contracted, her mouth and tongue were raw, and covered with clots of black blood. With the greatest difficulty, the Holy Viaticum was administered, by giving her a small piece of the host.


All the Sisters then retired to hear Mass, except the infirmarian, who seeing the patient calm, left her for a moment to attend the sick in the adjoining room. In less than one hour after the reception of the Viaticum, the patient was entirely cured, restored to health, as she said... by St. John Berchmans, who appeared to her.

Every symptom of the disease had passed away, and the next day she was going through the ordinary duty of community life - she would have done so on the day of her cure, but the Mother Superior thought it more prudent for her to remain in bed.

The two doctors who attended her attributed her cure to supernatural agency for, they said, she was beyond the reach of natural remedies. The entire community and many visitors who had seen and known the patient attested the truth of the cure...

faustina -6

Jesus told Saint Faustina

that the prayer
most pleasing to Him

is the prayer
for the conversion
of sinners


Saint Faustina saw

how the work of Redemption
is bound up with the work of Mercy
requested by Our Lord


she saw

that damnation is for the soul
who wants to be damned

but for the one who desires salvation
there is the inexhaustible ocean
of God's Mercy to draw from


she understood

that only the soul
who wants it
will be damned

for God
condamns no one


faustina -5

Jesus said:

'say unceasingly the chapelet
that I have taught you

whoever will recite it
will receive great mercy
at the hour of death'





'priests are recommended to sinners
as their last hope of salvation'

-

'even if they were a sinner most hardened
if he were to recite this chapelet even once

he would receive Grace 
from My infinite Mercy'

-

'the souls that say this chapelet
will be embraced by My Mercy

during their lifetime
and especially at the hour of their death'



faustina -4

she stopped
the Angel of Wrath
by praying these words:

'Eternal Father,

I offer You 
the Body and Blood
Soul and Divinity

of Your dearly beloved Son
our Lord Jesus Christ

for our sins and those 
of the whole world

for the sake 
of His Sorrowful Passion
have mercy on us'



Jesus told Saint Faustina
to recite the chapelet

for nine days

on the beads of the rosary

beginning with one Our Father
one Hail Mary
and the I Believe in God

-

He told her to pray
on the Our Father-beads
the following prayer:

'Eternal Father,

I offer You
the Body and Blood
Soul and Divinity

of Your dearly beloved Son
our Lord Jesus Christ

in atonement
for our sins and those
of the whole world'

-

on the Hail Mary-beads
Jesus told saint Faustina
to pray the following words:

'for the sake of His Sorrowful Passion
have mercy on us and on the whole world'

-

and in conclusion
she was to recite the words:

'Holy God
Holy Mighty One
Holy Immortal One

have mercy on us
and on the whole world'
