Divine Mercy: The Essence of The Simple Path Lourdes Pinto — September 19, 201 9 Lourdes relates the experience of her silent retreat: From day one, to my surprise, Jesus gave me the theme of my retreat: entering the ocean of His mercy to be consumed in His divine Love. And he brought me to the perfect retreat House on an island surrounded by the ocean! From day two on, our Lord allowed me to receive the understanding that His Mercy and the mystery of the Cross are one. I lived days of profound self-knowledge taken into the “deep” of my heart, which led me to heartfelt tears of repentance. All of these experiences I lived consumed in His Mercy with immense gratitude and awe. The words of Saint Paul to the Colossians: “You have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God,” became my deepest prayer and longing throughout my retreat. I know that when God blesses us abundantly in His fathomless Mercy, the graces are always to be shared according to His Will, therefore, I am sure that as the Holy Spirit prompts me, I will be sharing with you my experiences and the graces of the mystery of the Cross and Divine Mercy I received. My most precious and beloved community of my heart in Christ, you too were so present to me in my silence. I prayed, hidden with Christ in God, for each of you and your families. This week, I also received a greater love for you and a deeper appreciation of you— it is God’s love and appreciation for each of you! Today, on the Feast of the Exultation of the Cross, I begin my journey home, and tomorrow, on the Feast of our Lady of Sorrows, I enter fully my hidden life as a MOC In my domestic monastery! May we continue to walk hand in hand and help one another “ empty ourselves” as we follow in the footsteps of our Beloved Savior. May we, too, as one with our Love Crucified, be “obedient to death on the cross”, so that we can radiate the Light of God’s love in our world! We are one heart with our Mother of Sorrows, embracing our Love Crucified in love and gratitude, and glorifying Abba for “He so loved the world that he gave his only son!” Lourdes

God's Question "Do you think that My death and resurrection was useless and powe rless?" Fr. Ron Sciera — August 11, 2019 The answer to this question must show in the way we live. Do we trust in God for everything? Do we believe that we are in his hands as children with their father? Are we attentive for God to guide us? Back

Faith, In the Promises God has Made Lourdes Pinto — October 21,2021 Audio & text Faith in the Promises God has Made 10/21/21 Romans 4:13, 18-22 For the promise that he would inherit the world did not come to Abraham or to his descendants through the law but through the righteousness of faith. Hoping against hope, he believed that he would become “the father of many nations,” according to what was said, “So numerous shall your descendants be.” 19 He did not weaken in faith when he considered his own body, which was already[b] as good as dead (for he was about a hundred years old), or when he considered the barrenness of Sarah’s womb. 20 No distrust made him waver concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong in his faith as he gave glory to God, 21 being fully convinced that God was able to do what he had promised. 22 Therefore his faith[c] “was reckoned to him as righteousness.” Lk 1:45 Blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of what was spoken to her by the Lord. You, my little one, and the few following My simple path to union with God are God’s force to defeat Satan and pierce the darkness of his destruction in souls. Your faith is needed to live in the power of God . 6/23/21 Such a soul acts imperfectly, for she has not yet unwound the bandage of spiritual self-love, for has she unwound it she would see that, in truth, everything proceeds from Me, that no leaf of a tree falls to the ground without My providence, and that what I give and promise to My creatures, I give and promise to them for their sanctification, which is the good and the end for which I created them. (The Dialogue of St Catherine of Siena , p.88-89) CCC 144 To obey (from the Latin ob-audire, to "hear or listen to") in faith is to submit freely to the word that has been heard, because its truth is guaranteed by God, who is Truth itself. Abraham is the model of such obedience offered us by Sacred Scripture. The Virgin Mary is its most perfect embodiment. CCC 145 The Letter to the Hebrews, in its great eulogy of the faith of Israel's ancestors, lays special emphasis on Abraham's faith: "By faith, Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to a place which he was to receive as an inheritance; and he went out, not knowing where he was to go."4 By faith, he lived as a stranger and pilgrim in the promised land.5 By faith, Sarah was given to conceive the son of the promise. And by faith, Abraham offered his only son in sacrifice.6 CCC 146 Abraham thus fulfills the definition of faith in Hebrews 11:1: "Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen" Mary - "Blessed is she who believed" CCC 148 The Virgin Mary most perfectly embodies the obedience of faith. By faith Mary welcomes the tidings and promise brought by the angel Gabriel, believing that "with God, nothing will be impossible" and so giving her assent: "Behold I am the handmaid of the Lord; let it be [done] to me according to your word."12 Elizabeth greeted her: "Blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of what was spoken to her from the Lord."13 It is for this faith that all generations have called Mary blessed. CCC 149 Throughout her life and until her last ordeal15 when Jesus her son died on the cross, Mary's faith never wavered. She never ceased to believe in the fulfillment of God's word. And so the Church venerates in Mary the purest realization of faith. Promises to LC: *I promise I will grant you the grace of transformation. It is My new disciples that I Myself am preparing and training, united as ONE with the Holy Spirit and My Mother, that will cleanse My Church and bring forth from the depth of My Cross the new Pentecost with the reign of the Immaculate Heart of My Mother. 3/ 8/11 *I promise you, My humble ones, that as the darkness consumes the world you will be consumed by the Fire of God, the Holy Spirit. You will be the first fruits of the new Pentecost. 3/16/12 10/10/14 Do you believe My little one, all that I have spoken to you throughout all these years? Believe in the promises of God and you will see the glory of God unfold before your eyes. The Spirit, the power of the love of the Father and Son, will set the world ablaze with His fire through the power of all My victim souls consumed in My sacrifice of love… I will make all things new through the triumph of My Cross, which is the triumph of LOVE. 9/13/11 This hidden life of suffering the oppression of other souls with Me will obtain for you the crown of glory. 12/26/13 Receive the crown of glory reserved for the martyrs of Christ’s love. Do not be afraid during the time of the great trial that must come upon the world, for I am with you. You have followed me to the altar of sacrifice. It is here in the perfect sacrifice of the Mass that I am forming you as God’s holy warriors of love to fight the final battle. Remain with me in the perfect Sacrifice of my Son and you will receive the crown of glory. 12/12/16 Basilica of Guadalupe Romans 5: 2-5 …we[c] boast (rejoice) in our hope of sharing the glory of God. 3 And not only that, but we[d] also boast(rejoice) in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, 4 and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, 5 and hope does not disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us. Renew consecration to the Immaculata with the Holy Spirit Your union now with Mary, as one with the Holy Spirit, prepares you to confront Satan and his principalities in her victory, for she is the Queen Mother that has defeated the dragon in her perfect union with Me, her beloved Son. It is through her power in the Holy Spirit that you will fight the great battle. Remain in prayer, and silence so that nothing disturbs your spirit as one with Me, your Beloved. Rejoice, my daughter, you are being counted among the remnant victim warriors of God's great army. Go in peace to love through Me, with Me, and in Me as one with Mary Most Holy. The battle has been won! 8/15/21 Back

To raise up a holy transformed priesthood. I am preparing My pure holy vessels by cleansing them with My precious Blood. These living chalices will be filled with My precious Blood as I unite them to the Word of the Cross and they suffer with Me. My Blood will be poured upon My Church to cleanse Her through them. You have been given the particular mission of cleansing My priesthood. 10/7/10 It is my army of victim souls that I am preparing for these decisive times, for it is their hidden lives, as One with my Eucharistic Son, that are being given the power from heaven to defeat Satan and all his principalities and raise My Son’s cohort of holy priests to usher in my reign. You have been given a mission from the Father and you will give birth to the Missionaries of the Cross, through the hidden force of love of the Mothers of the Cross, to help raise this holy cohort. 6/16/11 Back

Luminous Mysteries ​ I. BAPTISM OF JESUS 1. There is only one consecration; that is to the Father through Jesus. By consecration to Mary we put ourselves in her hands so she may take possession of us and help us live our baptismal consecration to God. We allow her to order everything in our lives so we may be led to live perfectly the Will of God. This means complete abandonment to her, like a child in his mother’s arms. 2. The Holy Spirit formed My human heart in all its perfection. He, the Holy Spirit, lives in Me as I live in the Father and the Father in Me. The Holy Spirit is released with all His power from the fire of My Sacred Heart when souls approach Me with humility at the foot of My Cross. The Holy Spirit flows from the fire of My crucified love. Only love can wage war against the darkness of Satan and win. It is purified love that I need for the decisive battle at hand. Therefore, My little one, bring Me victim souls. The Holy Spirit is received as a seed in Baptism but He is fully stirred into flame in My Cross. It is united as one to My Mother at the foot of the Cross that the Holy Spirit begins to possess your mind, heart and soul. (7/11/11) (Simple Path p.20-21) 3. All Christians are called to be victim souls. Only God is holy, therefore, to be holy means to be transformed into the One you receive in Holy Communion, to become One with Me. Perfect love on earth is expressed by laying down your life for the salvation of your brother and sister. It is your "yes" to give the oblation of your life that "stirs into flame" the graces of your Baptism and you receive the power and fire of the Holy Spirit. It is then, in this way, that your life possesses the "power of God.” That is why I desire many victim souls, for it is only the power of pure love that will pierce the darkness that is seeping into the hearts and minds of My people. Bring Me victim souls My little one. Do not be afraid. (1/29/11) (Simple Path p.326) II. WEDDING AT CANA I am preparing My pure holy vessels by cleansing them with My precious Blood. These living chalices will be filled with My precious Blood as I unite them to the Word of the Cross and they suffer with Me. My Blood will be poured upon My Church to cleanse Her through them. You have been given the particular mission of cleansing My priesthood. ‘Woe to you, O Jerusalem. How long will it be before you are made clean? To receive My Blood is to receive My suffering, My love and new life... As My martyrs of love you are called to suffer with Me so that you can love with Me... In this way, you become My living chalices of healing grace for many... (10/7/2010) (Simple Path p.177) This brought me to see how deep was my wound, how hidden, often expressed with damaging emotions. I understood that I must go to the Lord to accompany Him in His solitude and allow Him to accompany me in mine. As His wounds touch mine and I allow Him to unite me to Himself, He makes me His Living Chalice, a Living Host for my husband, our children and others. (Simple Path p.173) III. PROCLAMATION OF THE KINGDOM Abandon yourself simply by accepting all, the way that it is given to you... Give yourself completely serving all for love of Me. The mission will move forward according to My plan and Will. You are called to be love by sacrificing yourself completely for Love. It is this simple abandonment to each of your lives and circumstances of life I have placed you in, that will produce the hidden force needed to conquer the darkness covering the earth. Abandon yourselves to love the most difficult ones closest to you. Kiss My pierced feet each morning and set yourselves out like warriors on a mission to serve with love, patience, tenderness, slow to anger. (2/26/11) (Simple Path p.231) Satan is working to bring forth his new world order of destruction but My crusade of victim souls will possess the power of God to crush the head of Satan. You are the heel of the Queen of Heaven and Earth. Continue giving your life daily for the mission I have entrusted to you... Do not lose hope in all that I have placed in your heart. My crusade of victim souls will have to suffer greatly and be formed to perfection in love to fight this fierce battle, but know that My Cross has triumphed. Now, through this crusade, it needs to triumph in the hearts of My people. Persevere in love. Persevere in trust. (4/10/12) (Simple Path p.340) The time is at hand when all will be called to suffer persecution for My sake. This time of persecution will divide My followers into two camps: those with Me and those against Me. Few will remain with Me in the time of the great tribulation. You, My little ones, are being prepared for this time. Your lives lived in humility and purity of heart united to Me will be the light in this darkness. Your lives hidden and transformed in My crucified love will usher in the New Pentecost for the world. My hidden force of spiritual mothers, as one with My Mother of Sorrows, will raise up God's army of holy priests for the decisive battle to be waged against the principalities of darkness. Your mission is to raise up and form many victim souls for these decisive times, for the battle will be won through the power of the Cross. My hidden martyrs of love are the power of God to wage this war against the principalities of death. Do not be afraid to speak from the housetops what I speak to you in the hiddenness of your heart. I am making all things new through My hidden victims of purified love. Be steadfast as the one chosen by God to hold the sword of His mission. Trust and suffer all with patient endurance. (2-25-2014 (Simple Path p.438) IV. TRANSFIGURATION The new life we received in baptism is like a tiny seed meant to grow into a full life in Christ. The purpose of our time on earth, then, is to pursue this growth along a path of continuous transformation. This is the path to Calvary where we partake in Christ’s sacrifice of love to the Father and partake in the life of the Holy Trinity. St. Paul describes this path as a race in which we must give our all—"for his sake I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as refuse.” (Phil 3:8-12) (Simple Path p. XIII) In Mark's Gospel we see the radical transformation that Jesus brought to the concept of purity before God: it is not ritual actions that make us pure. Purity and impurity arise within man's heart and depend on the condition of his heart... How does the heart become pure? Who are the pure in heart, those who can see God... Faith cleanses the heart. It is the result of God's initiative toward man. Faith comes about because men are touched deep within by God's Spirit, who opens and purifies their hearts. (Pope Benedict XVI) (Simple Path p.304) There is no love without suffering—without the suffering of renouncing oneself, of the transformation and purification of self for true freedom. Where there is nothing worth suffering for, even life loses its value. The Eucharist—the center of our Christian being—is founded on Jesus’ sacrifice for us; it is born from the suffering of love, which culminated in the Cross. We live by this love that gives itself. It gives us the courage and strength to suffer with Christ and for Him in this world, knowing that in this way our life becomes great and mature and true. (Pope Benedict) (Simple Path p. 161) Trust and place all your confidence in the power of the hidden life being revealed to you now in My Eucharistic presence. I am the power of the hidden life. I want to possess you with My hidden life, which is the Eucharist, transforming you into living hosts. This transformation will take place as you live your hidden and interior life united to My interior crucifixion, suffering all with Me and in Me. (Simple Path p. 165) V. EUCHARIST You must form My hidden martyrs of love, for God the Father is using them to fulfill His plan of salvation during these decisive times. Live your hidden life as ONE with Me in My hidden life in the Eucharist and you will grow in the power of God, which is LOVE. This is the HIDDEN FORCE that will sweep through the face of the world to conquer Satan’s darkness. The Eucharist is the power of God in the world and God desires to make you living Hosts. (6/30/11) (Simple Path p.165-166) ...In the Eucharist I give of Myself fully to you and you partake, meaning you receive Me, but then you must respond to this gift of Love by giving of yourself to Me. You must give Me of your blood in sacrifice and your body, which is your will. In the Eucharist I Am the Victim of Love. In order for you to become ONE BODY, ONE BLOOD in Me you must respond to become My victim of love, victim united as ONE to The Victim... 6/26/11 (Simple Path p. 168) ​ ​ Back ​

Apostles of light as St. Paul My Missionaries of the Cross are My apostles of light as St. Paul. They will preach My love crucified as one with St. Paul. St. Paul and St. John are their patron saints. They will become one with Love Crucified as St. Paul, therefore, their lives will be a living testimony of My crucified love and the power of the Cross. They will love Me and all with the tenderness of the heart of St. John. They will possess zeal and love…. The Heart of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit is all power and tenderness. The hearts of all men must grow in the power of God and the tenderness of God. This healing will come about through the Holy Spirit and Mary Most Holy. Therefore, consecrate yourselves to the Holy Spirit daily through His spouse, Mary Most Holy. The prayers and sacrifices of love of the Mothers of the Cross will be My channel of healing grace for the transformation of My sons’ hearts. 3/18/11 Back
