The statuary [beeldhouwwerken] in the Apparition Chapel... 

consists of brilliant white Carrara marble carvings... 

of Our Lady with St. John the Evangelist to her right... 

and St. Joseph to her left. 

The Lamb is placed in the centre of the chapel... 

on an altar surrounded by beautifully carved angels. 

Careful consideration was given to designing the scene... 

to replicate the Apparition as described by the fifteen witnesses... 

and in interviews with Mary Byrne O’Connell in the 1930’s. 

The figures were sculpted by the renowned Italian sculptor 

Professor Lorenzo Ferri, in 1960. 

The statuary was commissioned... 

by the Knock Shrine Society.

However, there is always someone... 

who knocks and asks that the doors be opened, so that My Will may descend to reign upon earth. And since everything is established and ordered by the Divinity, It awaits the one who must give the strongest knock, who, forcing the doors with invincible strength—the very strength of my Divine Will—will open wide the doors, and with her sweet chains of love will bind the Eternal Will to make It come to reign in the midst of creatures. 

She will be like a bride who, bejeweling the groom with her loving chains, will carry him as though in triumph into the midst of creatures. And just as the Holy Virgin put an end to the night hours of the Patriarchs and Prophets, and formed the dawn to make the Sun of the Eternal Word rise, so will this one form the dawn to make rise the Sun of the Fiat Voluntas Tua on earth as It is in Heaven.

Do you think that My Will, that has made Itself known with so much love and has manifested so much interest in wanting to come to reign upon earth, pouring Its sorrow out with you, has done this without anyone praying to It? 

Ah, no! no! The knocks of My Church have been continuous, and I Myself was knocking in those knocks, but I used them to knock at the door of the Divine Fiat which, tired of hearing them knocking at Its Divine doors, has used you to be knocked more strongly. 

And opening the doors to you, It made you share in Its knowledges. And for as many truths as It made known to you, so many means has It given you to form the loving chains, to let Itself be bound to come to reign upon earth. 

And all the times It calls you to live in Its Divine Volition, making known to you Its qualities, Its power, Its joys, Its immense riches, are as many pledges It gives you, with which It assures you of Its coming upon earth. 

[26.5.1928]

And now, My daughter, let us descend...

into the lower part of the earth. 

Let us go into the sea, in which immense masses of crystal clear waters are piled up—symbol of Divine Purity. These waters are always moving—they never stop. 

They are without voice, and they murmur. They are without life, yet so strong as to form waves so high, that they overwhelm and shatter ships, peoples and things, to then descend into their shore after having knocked down the things that they invested—peaceful, as if they had done nothing, continuing their usual murmuring. 

Oh! how My Will in the sea sings the praises, loves and glorifies Our Power, Our Strength, Our eternal Motion that never stops.

And if Our Justice forms its just roaring waves... 

such as to knock down cities and peoples... 

like peaceful sea after the storm, Our Peace is never disturbed, and My Will - veiled by the waters of the sea - says to man: ‘Be pure like these crystal clear waters. But if you want to be pure, move always toward Heaven, otherwise you would putrefy, just as these waters, so pure, would putrefy if they did not always move. 

Let the murmuring of your prayer be continuous, if you want to be strong and powerful like Me—if you want to knock down the strongest enemies and your rebellious will, that prevents Me from unveiling Myself and going out of this sea to come to reign in you, and extend in you the peaceful sea of My Grace. Is it possible that you want to remain below this sea that glorifies Me so much?’

You too, sing the praises! 

Love and glorify Our Purity, Our Power, Strength and Justice, united to My Will that awaits you in the sea as Its own daughter. 

As well as Our eternal Motion toward creatures, in order to do good to them. And the continuous murmuring of Our Love through the created things, that - while it murmurs love - wants the continuous requital of the murmuring of the continuous love of the creatures. 

And pray My Will to give them the Divine Qualities It exercises in the sea, so that It may come and reign in the midst of those who now keep It rejected in the whole Creation.

-

So, if you want to know what My Will does in all Creation, go around in It. And My Fiat, finding Its daughter in all created things, will unveil Itself, and will tell you what It does toward the Divine Majesty, and the call and the lessons It wants to give to creatures.

[1.11.1926]

messias 1

God is order. 

And when He wants to give a good to creatures, He always places His Divine order in it, and everything that is done in order to obtain a good so great begins from God, as He places Himself at the head of it to take on the commitment, and then orders the creature for the same purpose.

I did this in order to give, Myself, the Redemption, and so that creatures might receive It. And I am doing this, Myself, to give the Kingdom of the Divine Fiat, and so that creatures may receive It. 

By forming, Myself, the ‘Our Father,’ I placed Myself at the head of it and took on the commitment to give this Kingdom. And by teaching it to My Apostles, I placed in the creatures the order of how to be able to obtain a good so great.

So, the whole Church is praying—there is not one soul who belongs to Her that does not recite the ‘Our Father.’ And even though many recite it without interest in wanting and asking for a Kingdom so holy—that the Divine Will be done on earth as It is in Heaven—since the interest is in He who taught it, by their reciting it, My interest is renewed, and I hear My own prayer asking: ‘May Your Kingdom come, so that Your Will be done on earth as It is in Heaven.’ 

However, if the creature, in reciting the ‘Our Father,’ had this interest of wanting and longing for My Kingdom, she would take párt in My own interest, and her wíll would be fused in Mine for the same purpose. 

But regardless of this, My Will and interest always run in each ‘Our Father.’

See then, the Divine order: 

all asking for one thing. 

Among these who ask, there are some who want to do My Will, others who do It. All this is braided [gevlochten] together, and they knock at the doors of My Divine Will—they repeat the knocking, and some knock strongly, some slowly.

These three suns were placed in the depth of the human soul. 

Just like the sun in the depth of the vault of the heavens, that keeps the earth in feast with its light, and with its admirable effects gives life to all plants—and to each one the flavor, the sweetness, the color and the substance that befits it. 

In its tacit silence, the sun guides the earth, instructs everyone—not with words, but with facts, and with such eloquence that no one else can reach it. And with its penetrating light, it makes itself life of everything that the earth produces.

Look: there is only one sun for the entire earth, but for the human soul Our Love was not content with one alone. And finding Ourselves in the ardor of Our Love for giving and giving, We formed three suns, by which all the human acts were to be directed, animated and receive life. 

What order, what harmony We placed in Our beloved and dear son.

Now, My daughter, these three suns exist in man. 

But they find themselves in the same condition of the sun that shines in the heavens when it is surrounded by thick clouds and cannot fill the earth with the vividness of its light. 

And even though the communications are neither interrupted nor broken by the clouds, the earth, however, receives its effects with difficulty, and does not enjoy all the good that the sun could do to it. 

So, not receiving all the life of the sun, it is as though ill, its fruits are insipid and unripe, and many plants are without fruits. Therefore, the earth is melancholic, without feast, because the clouds have prevented it from receiving all the fullness of the light of the sun, so as to be crowned with glory and with honor.

Such is the condition of man: all things are in place, between Us and him nothing is broken or interrupted, but the human will has formed thick clouds, and therefore one sees man without the glory, the order and harmony of his creation. 

And so his works are without fruits, rotten and without beauty. His steps are unsteady. It can be said that he is the poor ill one, because he does not let himself be directed by the three suns that he possesses in his soul.

Therefore, in coming to reign... 

the first thing that My Will will knock down, will be the human volition. And blowing, It will dispel the clouds. And man will let himself be directed by the three suns that he has in the depth of his soul, that possess Our communication. 

And immediately He will rise to Our origin. 

And everything will be feast and glory for Us and for him.

[7.6.1928]

And then... 

many sick and maimed [verminkten] came to Jesus, asking him: 

"If you know all things, tell us, why do we suffer with these grievous [zware,pijnlijke] plagues? Why are we not whole like other men? Master, heal us, that we too may be made strong, and need abide [vertoeven] no longer in our misery. We know that you have it in your power to heal all manner of disease. Free us from Satan and from all his great afflictions. Master, have compassion on us."

And Jesus answered: 

"Happy are you that you hunger for the truth, for I will satisfy you with the bread of wisdom. Happy are you, that you knock, for I will open to you the door of life. Happy are you, that you would cast off the power of Satan, for I will lead you into the kingdom of our Mother's angels, where the power of Satan cannot enter."

And they asked him in amazement: 

"Who is our Mother and which Her angels? And where is Her kingdom?"

"Your Mother is in you, and you in Her. 

She bore you, She gives you life. 

It was She who gave to you your body, and to Her shall you one day give it back again. 

Happy are you when you come to know Her and Her Kingdom. 

If you receive your Mother's angels and if you do Her Laws. 

I tell you truly, he who does these things shall never see disease. 

For the power of our Mother is above all. 

And it destroys Satan and his kingdom...

and has rule over all your bodies and all living things.

The blood which runs in us, is born of the blood of our Earthly Mother. 

Her Blood falls from the clouds, leaps from [springt uit] the womb of the earth, babbles [kabbelt] in the brooks of the mountains, flows wide in the rivers of the plains, sleeps in the lakes, rages mightily in tempestuous seas.

The air which we breathe is born of the Breath of our Earthly Mother. Her Breath is azure in the heights of the heavens, soughs [zucht] in the tops of the mountains, whispers the leaves of the forest, billows [zwelt op,golft] over the cornfields, slumbers [sluimert] in the deep valleys, burns hot in the desert.

The hardness of our bones is born of the Bones of our Earthly Mother, of the rocks and of the stones. They stand naked to the heavens on the tops of mountains, are as giants that lie sleeping on the sides of the mountains, as idols set in the desert, and are hidden in the deepness of the earth.

The tenderness of our flesh is born of the Flesh of our Earthly Mother, Whose Flesh waxes [groeit,wast] yellow and red in the fruits of the trees, and nurtures us in the furrows [voren] of the fields.

Our bowels are born of the Bowels of our Earthly Mother, and are hid from our eyes, like the invisible depths of the Earth.

The light of our eyes, the hearing of our ears, both are born of the Colors and the Sounds of our Earthly Mother; which enclose us about [ons omsluiten], as the waves of the sea a fish, as the eddying [wervelende] air a bird.

-

I tell you in very truth... 

Man is the Son of the Earthly Mother... 

and from Her did the Son of Man receive his whole body... 

even as [net zoals] the body of the newborn babe is born of the womb of his mother. 

I tell you truly, you are one with the Earthly Mother. 

She is in you.

And you in Her. 

Of Her were you born, in Her do you live, and to Her shall you return again. 

Keep, therefore, Her Laws. 

For none can live long, neither be happy, but he who honors his Earthly Mother and does Her Laws. 

For your breath is Her Breath, your blood Her Blood, your bone Her Bone, your flesh Her Flesh, your bowels Her Bowels, your eyes and your ears are Her Eyes and Her Ears.

I tell you truly... 

should you fail to keep but one only of all these Laws... 

should you harm but one only of all your body's members... 

you shall be utterly lost in your grievous [zware,pijnlijke] sickness... 

and there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 

-

I tell you... 

unless you follow the Laws of your Mother... 

you can in no wise escape death. 

-

And he who clings to the Laws of his Mother... 

to him shall his Mother cling also. 

She shall heal all his plagues, and he shall never become sick. 

She gives him long life, and protects him from all afflictions. 

From fire, from water, from the bite of venomous serpents. 

For your Mother bore you, keeps life within you. 

She has given you Her body, and none but She heals you. 

Happy is he who loves his Mother and lies quietly in Her Bosom. 

For your Mother loves you, even when you turn away from Her. 

And how much more shall She love you, if you turn to Her again? 

-

I tell you truly... 

very great is Her Love. 

Greater than the greatest of mountains, deeper than the deepest seas. 

And those who love their Mother, She never deserts them. 

As the hen protects her chickens, as the lioness her cubs, as the mother her newborn babe, so does the Earthly Mother protect the Son of Man from all danger and from all evils.

This morning my sweet Jesus did not come... 

so I spent it amid sighs, anxieties and bitternesses, though all immersed in His Will. As the night came, I could not take any more, so I called Him again and again. My eyes could not close, I felt restless, I wanted Jesus at any cost. 

At that point He came... 

and said to me: 

"My dove, who can say the flights that you take in my Will, the space that you cover, the air that you swallow? No one, no one - not even you would be able to say it. I alone - I alone can say it. I, Who measure the fibers. I, Who count the flights of your thoughts, of your heartbeats.

And as you fly, I see the hearts that you touch. But do not stop - fly to more hearts, and knock, again and again. Then, fly over again, and on your wings bring my ‘I love you’ to more hearts, to make Me loved. 

And then, in one flight, come to my Heart to take refreshment... 

to start all over again with more rapid flights. 

I amuse Myself with my dove. 

And I call the Angels and my little Mama to amuse Themselves with Me. But, you know... I am not telling you everything. The rest I will tell you in Heaven. Oh, how many surprising things I will tell you!"

Then He placed His hand on my forehead, and added: 

"I leave you the shadow of my Will, the breath of my Volition. Sleep." 

And I fell asleep.

Dearest child, I feel the irresistible need...

to come down from Heaven to make you my maternal visits. 

If you assure me of your filial love and faithfulness... 

I will remain always with you in your soul... 

to be your teacher, model, example and most tender Mother.

I come to invite you... 

to enter the Kingdom of your Mama - the Kingdom of the Divine Will.

And I knock at the door of your heart, that you may open it to me. 

You know, with my own hands, I bring you this book as a gift. 

I offer it to you with maternal care, so that in reading it...

you may learn in your turn to live from Heaven... 

and no longer from the earth.

May evil disappear from this place... 

in the name of the Almighty and of His angelic legions !

May the Light descend to Earth and may hearts recognize the Purpose of God...

for it is the time of the self-summoned, of the 144,000 !

My Heart is present here again, and all My Divine Consciousness, which is part of God, manifests before you, to have you know the Will of the Father in each one of your lives.

I establish My Kingdom here, and in it no adversity may dwell, because the Plan will be accomplished in all inner hearts through My blessing, by the authority granted to Me by God, in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

Praised be the Father, companions, Who at this time gathers His smallest sheep, so that they may return, after having been lost in the world with nothing to drink and nowhere to graze, to the stable of My Heart. 

Because in My Kingdom exists providence [voorzienigheid] and souls do not feel thirst eternally nor do they feel hunger of spirit perpetually.

-

Do you know what that means? 

That the Father may gather you together again... 

so that you may remember Him through His Son, His Glory and His Mercy... 

which allows, in this time, this reality.

I come to call the chosen with the luminous [lichtgevende,stralende] Finger of God... 

Who with infinite Love and Mercy comes to rescue the fallen...

and to withdraw millions of consciousnesses from the abysses.

Thus, I reveal to you the power of My Divine Mercy, of My Grace, and of My wholeness... 

for all those who are Mine.

-

Yesterday, I told you that I am more than the Sun. 

Today I tell you, companions, that I am more than a Divinity.

Because if the Son of God is in the Father, the Eternal Father will be in His beloved Son. 

And if you are in the Son of God, in the depths of His Most Sacred Heart... 

you will also be in the Father and the Father will be with you... 

in spite of what may happen.

-

Strengthen your trust in the Creator, companions... 

and deny the modernity of these times. 

Souls are hypnotized and are profoundly blind...

they cannot manage to see My Path of Light.

Again and again, from time to time, I knock on the door of your hearts...

to call you to this sacred task of sharing the time of redemption with Me.

Redemption is a profound essence still very unknown to the world. 

A small sign of it has already been shown through the Passion of your Lord, when for you I suffered all the martyrdoms, all the sins, all the unconsciousness of humanity, through the agony, Calvary and death. 

And so I reveal to you, companions, that Redemption is something deeper, for it is based on the essence of Love and of Unity that all beings can live in these end times.

The Redemption of your lives has steps. They are steps of Light which you are invited to ascend, little by little, until finding My Glorious Kingdom, which does not belong to this world.

Thus, I uplift your consciousnesses to other realities... 

withdrawing them from material life... 

and opening your hearts to what is real and profound.

-

Through prayer, companions, build the first base of Redemption.

But there are more bases existing that you must build on this path of prayer, on this spiritual path of consecration which you are invited to journey on, to get out of the illusion of the world.

Little by little your lives will transform. When you accept My Summoning, you will be accepting the Will of God and My Heart will be glorified in the Father, because His children are glorified in My Heart.

And I will ignite in God so that My Divine Spirit may descend to Earth, to rescue the last who remain in this transition, which still has not ended. A transition unknown to you called purification. A mysterious transition that is discovered, is revealed to the hearts that are simple, without fear and without deceit.

to be the bearer of the Light of God through the coming of Christ.

Today, I am that simple woman from Nazareth... 

called Mary, the Mother of All Nations... 

who announces the second coming of Christ... 

to the world at this time.

I am that woman that everyone knows... 

Who is constant and patient... 

Who walks next to each child who opens up to recognize... 

that I can be in their heart all the time.

I am that woman Who some time ago... 

here, in this city of Carmo, announced Herself... 

at the top of the Redeemer's Hill... 

and told everyone that a great change was coming for humanity.

-

I am the Mother of God... 

and Mother of the Most High. 

I am the Mother of Figueira... 

and I am the Lady of Carmel.

I come to ask you to pray...

and be encouraged to do so. 

Just as in times past, you prayed for blacks to be freed from slavery.

I come as a Mother... 

to reopen the Gates of Heaven... 

over this long-suffering city.

I come to tell you that I am here. 

Very close to you. 

That I am present on top of a hill. 

In a ranch near your town...

and I wish that with your humility you visit Me... 

and pray with Me... 

so that I can help you every day.

Today I teach you in humility, My children, the path of Truth and Peace.

Today I have come to the door of your houses to knock on the doors of your hearts... 

and to ask you to accept Me, just as you accept Me and live Me in the Holy Church.

-

But at this time I have decided... 

at the request of God and of My Beloved Son... 

to come outside of My church... 

so that you could find Me present at the doors of your houses, in the streets of this city, in the neighborhoods of this town, at the top of the Sacred Hill, and in each heart that opens to feel Me in the most intimate of their being.

I am the Lady of Carmel. 

Mother of the Poor, and Guide of the Missionaries.

I come to ask you, beloved children, to repent with your open hearts... 

and humbly ask forgiveness for everything you live... 

for everything you suffer... 

for everything that happens in this city.

-

Thus, the Mother of Jesus, of the Savior, approaches Her beloved people and Her entire family... 

so that some values ​​may be recovered in your daily life and in your consciousness.

I have come to offer you My humble hand... 

so that you take it strong, and thus, can guide you... 

towards the path of Peace and Love.

I come to ask you to make a pilgrimage... 

in faith and devotion, to My Marian Center... 

so that, being in it, you spiritually commune with Christ... 

and all your wounds dissolve through the balm of Love that I offer you.

-

After so much time... 

the Mother of the Savior, the Lady of the Poor... 

returns to Her city to guide and lead you along the path of Good and Charity... 

along the sacred path of prayer from the Heart.

-

I would like, children, that you keep this House... 

that I have consecrated in your hearts... 

so that each of My children enters through the great Portal of the Redemption of humanity.

In simple words, I invite you to visit daily the House of the Children of Mary, of the Lady of the Poor, so that you feel motivated to rediscover in your families warm moments of prayer and peace, so necessary in these times of chaos.

I come to remove this city... 

from an uncertain place of consciousness.

I come to close, together with My Angels, all the uncertain doors... 

that have been opened for different reasons.

For this reason, I have chosen this point of the city... 

so that, in a simple street like this, you can find Me, without fail.

-

This is why, children...

I return to the city of Carmo da Cachoeira... 

so that you wake up from inertia... 

and make your hearts, this coming Easter, hearts in peace, meekness and consolation.

I come to give you the cure that you need so much... 

and thus, all My children will feel a little more loved and protected by Me.

-

I want...

in each neighborhood of this city... 

an ecumenical prayer group...

capable of attracting the Divine Laws to its people.

I am happy to be able to return and that, day by day, I can accompany you.

For this reason, I leave this House of the Lady of the Poor... 

so that each soul and each heart may find the shelter they so much need.

Offer God all your gratitude...

and may, on this day, reopen the door to God's Grace and Mercy.

I thank you for having received me humbly.

Who loves you, Your Mother Mary

If the final times knock on the doors of the world... 

open yourself to the New... 

and let your old and outdated self fade away. 

Open yourself to awaken an unshakeable faith. 

Open yourself to love without limits... 

even when you are denied, humiliated, and offended by those you try to love.

Do not let the miseries of this world be stronger and more intense... 

than your capacity to be merciful. 

How many reasons did your Master and King have to hate men? 

To not bear them? 

To decree before His Father the end of humanity? 

And meanwhile, child, God has revealed a mystery to you: 

the mystery of living the times of war and chaos in Peace;

the mystery of triumphing with humility and renunciation... 

in a world of selfishness, pride, and vanity;

the mystery of serving without receiving back... 

loving without expectations... 

and dying to give Life.

-

Your Lord and King, your Father and Creator... 

did not come into the world through His Son just to Love you.

Because His Love is infinite, inexplicably. 

He came, as a universal and divine sign. 

To reveal an unfathomable mystery to all of Creation. 

He came to remove the veils from the human consciousness... 

and reveal the deep Love that lies behind the miseries of humankind.

The Cross was the water that washed away the muck of humanity... 

and revealed the pearls hidden by ignorance, by a lack of self-knowledge... 

by not knowing who they are, where they came from... 

or what they came to do in this world.

-

The Life of Christ and His Cross...

revealed the purpose of human existence... 

and made known, to all of Creation, the power of this Divine Project...

and why the Father still persists with His Hope placed upon human beings.

Therefore, take your cross... 

and let it be, for you, the revelation of a great inner mystery. 

Find the purpose of your existence in the imitation of Christ... 

and prepare yourself for greater steps. 

Because the cross of this world, of this final cycle... 

the cross that opens the door to the new time, still waits for you.

-

Meditate on what I tell you. 

And every day find the way to transcend challenges... 

the scourging [geselen] of the conscience, executioners of the capital energies of this world...

and live Love, live Peace... 

and prepare your spirit for the new time... 

when your example will announce to humanity the new purpose of human life.

-

So far, life on earth has been sustained...

by the Love achieved by Christ on the Cross.

But now God calls you to a greater step. 

Because a definitive change is needed. 

He calls you to be a multiplier. 

A renewer of life, a spearhead for the new time. 

And it is enough to Love without conditions.

Your Father and Friend,

The Most Chaste

Novena to the Sacred Thorned Heart of Jesus

Fourth Day

Today, remove from My Heart, the painful thorn of INDIFFERENCE...

that many of My followers left for Me, those who used to be with Me and who still think they are.

In truth, the indifference of these hearts has completely blinded them...

to the point of challenging My Work and putting it to the test.

I had to carry the thorn of indifference of My old companions so that the Wrath of God would not knock at the door of each one of them.

For this reason, through your simple prayer, remove this uncomfortable and painful thorn from Me, of those who thought to win, but who have already spiritually failed.

My Silence reveals the deepest core of My Heart, because in this time I have decided to tell you the whole truth, however hard it may seem.

I have the duty of preparing for My second return in your hearts and I will need true hearts, rather than perfect hearts, because you will only find perfection in God.

When hearts are not true, they lie and are indifferent, and from that point on, these souls miss the opportunity of loving.

Also offer the Celestial Father your failures, your weaknesses, and your bitterness. Believe that, through the thorn of My Heart and by the offering of the Beloved Son, I will be able to again renew everything.

Have faith, My child, and with devotion and love, remove from My Heart the painful thorn of indifference. Thus, you will help your Master, so that the unending wellspring of Mercy may still remain open, healing and converting the hardened hearts.

Avoid any indifferent act, and seek to perceive where the indifference is, because it is as cunning as the serpent. It hides and emerges when least expected.

Overcome indifference by means of an unconditional service to others, thus, together with Me, you will also overcome, in the name of love.

I thank you for keeping My Words in your heart!

Who blesses you,

Your Master, 

Christ Jesus

Your most pure eyes look around to see if at least one of those favored by You is following You to prove to You his love and to defend You. And as You see that no one – no one has remained faithful to You, your Heart catches, and You burst into crying. 

You feel more pain for the abandonment of your most faithful ones, than for what the very enemies are doing to You. My Jesus, do not cry. Or rather, let me cry together with You.

"Ah, child, let us cry together over the lot of so many souls consecrated to Me who, over little trials, over incidents of life, no longer take care of Me and leave Me alone. For many others, timid and cowardly, who for lack of courage and trust, abandon Me. 

For many upon many who, not finding their own advantage in holy things, do not care about Me. For many priests who preach, who celebrate, who confess for love of interest and of self-glory. These show that they are around Me, but I remain always alone! 

Ah, child, how hard is this abandonment for Me! Not only do my eyes cry, but my Heart bleeds! O please, I beg you to repair my bitter pain by promising that you will not leave Me alone."

Yes, O my Jesus, I promise... 

helped by your grace, identifying myself with your Divine Will. 

But, O Jesus, while You cry over the abandonment of your dear ones, the enemies spare no outrage that they can do to You. Gripped and bound as You are, O my Good, to the point that You cannot even take a step by Yourself, they trample on You. 

They drag You along those ways full of rocks and thorns, such that there is no movement which does not make You knock against the rocks and be pricked by the thorns. Ah, my Jesus, I see that as they drag You, You leave behind Yourself your precious Blood, and your golden hair which they tear from your head! 

-

My Life and my All, allow me to gather it... 

that I may bind all the steps of the creatures who do not spare You, even at nighttime. 

Rather, they use the night to offend You more – some for gatherings, some for pleasures, some for theatricals, some for committing sacrilegious thefts! My Jesus, I unite myself to You in order to repair for all these offenses.

[Passie, 1-2u]

The right chapel of the stone church... 

by a special miraculous command of God...

is dedicated to the name of the holy First Martyr and Archdeacon Stephen. 

Mother Alexandra was perplexed as to which saint to dedicate this chapel, and therefore one day she prayed all night in her cell to the Lord to indicate His will. 

Suddenly, a knock was heard in the small window, and behind it a voice said: 

“Let this throne be the first martyr, Archdeacon Stephen!” 

With trembling and joy, Alexander's mother rushed to the window to see who was talking to her, but there was no one and on the windowsill [vensterbank] she found, miraculously and invisibly from where, the image of the holy First Martyr Archdeacon Stephen,  painted on a simple, almost unhewn log stump [vrijwel ongehouwen plank].

After the construction of the temple...

Mother Alexandra traveled to the city of Kazan...

where she received the most faithful copy of the miraculous and revealed icon of the Kazan Mother of God, and to the city of Kyiv to ask for particles of holy relics for her church. These relics were placed in a silver and gilded cross. 

From Moscow, she brought a bell worth 76.5 pounds and the necessary utensils. The iconostasis in the Kazan Church was given from the old Sarov Cathedral by the builder Father Ephraim. It was green with gilding, but later the green paint was replaced by red.

eudocia 6

On August 16, 1919

after organizing a raid around the village... 

one Skorobogatov summoned the local residents to a general meeting in the evening, and in his address to them, said: "We came to the village to punish you for harboring deserters." 

He made it clear to the peasants, that they were a punishment detachment led by a court martial that could assess and shoot those who were guilty. Then the inhabitants of Puzinsk were told, that they had to receive compensation: 80,000 rubles for the first farming community and 70,000 rubles for the second. This money had to be collected within eight hours, and if the farmers did not pay on time, the most severe measures would be taken against them. 

After the meeting, the farmers dispersed to their village councils.

The temporary headquarters of the punishment detachment was located in the local teacher's house, where a meeting of activists was gathered, and where the meeting of the troika took place, at which it was decided to execute Dunya and her companions.

During the stay, the soldiers of the Red Army behaved scandalous in peasant farms: they took away milk, eggs and chickens without paying their costs. Some residents were subjected to house searches, at the discretion of the Red Army soldiers themselves or at the instigation of their fellow villagers. During the searches, the soldiers behaved very rudely towards the peasants, intimidating them with whips and weapons and taking things with them. 

Soldiers also searched Dunya's house... 

because some of her neighbors indicated that the deserter Ilya Nemtsov had visited her... 

and that he should be sought here. 

The soldiers began to knock on the door and on the windows. One of the comapnions ran to faithful farmers for help. When they all came back, they ran to the house. But the Red Army soldiers wouldn't let them in. After whipping them away, they locked the door. 

Some saw through the window how this search was taking place. The soldier threw prosphora and oil in Dunya's face as he spoke to her bad words. Then he scattered all the icons in the red corner. After he climbed into the cupboard, where there were several food supplies, a rat bit him in the hand. Then he literally went mad, dragged Dunya off the couch and started beating her. 

The bullying of Dunya lasted for several days. The Red Army soldiers beat her with whips and trampled her.

Without separating! 

Saying “this is Jew, this is Christian, this is black, this is white, this is green, this is yellow.” In originality, we are all created from the same thing, we have the same material, same creation material. So Allah saying to us in the Holy Quran, “We have separated you in different nations, in different tribes, to go find one and each other, to learn from each other, to exchange, to learn, to improve yourself, to become better ones.” 

To become better ones to the Divine service. 

In reality, we are áll for Divine service. 

We are not for our own service, our own ego’s service, but for the greater service. We have to be in His service, when we are in His service, that time, we will be able to look at His creatures, saying “this is His creature, my duty is to serve that creature. If I’m serving my Lord, my duty is to serve that creature.” 

Our duty is to love each other as Insan, and to respect each other, respect each other’s rights. And learn how to know, how to communicate, how to love each other. When we learn how to love each other, then we will be able to reach to our Creator.”

Today, we live in a world that is even empty... 

from the opportunity to make Hizmet from each other. 

Why is this? Because in this country today, if you go and knock on your neighbor’s door and say, “can I come in and help you? Do you need anything?” They will call the police on you. 

But Islam is saying, Tasawwuf is saying, our Sheykh is saying, put others before yourself. Put the needs of others before yourself. The Siddiki Way is saying, give everything in the Way of Allah and the Prophet. 

~Sheykh Lokman Effendi Hz~
