Overcoming All Divisions
(October 23 to October 30, 2012)
Direction to Modern Man
October 23, 2012
Jesus
I must give direction to modern man because he has lost his way. He is confused. All the directional signs have been turned around. The stream that used to carry man to good now flows toward evil. What has happened? The great powers that form the culture have been commandeered by evil. People exploit the media for their selfish goals, leaving behind a path which has destroyed traditional values.
All recognize this cultural confusion and the breakdown of a unifying spirit. All go their own way, taken up with their own beliefs. Nothing joins them all. Such was not the case before. Christendom and the Catholic Church joined all in a common faith and into one Church. This will be my focus.
Mary
Can it happen? Can the churches be joined again? Can there be a unity of Christianity? All of this is impossible for man. No matter what steps he takes, greater division occurs. Churches multiply but they are not in union. The world exploits this division. It introduces other churches where Jesus is not proclaimed as Lord and as God’s true son. Cults arise where the Evil One is exalted. Man is helpless to overcome this division. However, with God all things are possible.
The Unifying Power of Faith has been Lost
October 24, 2012
Jesus
It was not always this way. In the Ages of Faith, the cathedrals reached into the heavens and man’s spirit also knew that he was made for heaven. Earth was seen as a vestibule, a time leading into the eternal. Faith dominated the culture and all, even the least worthy, were touched and affected by faith.
This faith spread over boundaries and all saw themselves as shares in my riches. Even the political rules saw the value of a common faith to unite their people and to integrate new peoples into a common belief and life.
Now, the unifying power of faith has been lost. The commonly shared values and patterns of acting are no more. Modern man is adrift, awash in conflicting belief systems. Yes, modern man, you who have rejected Christian belief have a belief system you forged your own, but it will not stand the test of time.
Mary
The problem of man’s confusion lies ultimately in the division of the Churches. How can man have a unified belief when the Churches themselves have divisions? The splintering of religious belief was preceded by the splintering of the Churches. To restore the great unity of belief in the Ages of Faith, I must restore the unity of the Churches.
Do not think that this is impossible, or even that it is far away. Surprising events will lead to a truer and deeper union than ever before, including a union with Israel that should never have been broken.
This Stream of Disbelief is Strong
October 25, 2012
Jesus
This stream of disbelief is strong and it separates man. Disbelief, the absence of any faith in a true and personal God, cannot unite. Disbelief robs society of its oneness. Society fractures into a hundred little belief systems, each with its adherents. No one is joined. All are separated. This is the powerful stream now flowing which, more than anything else, will cause the collapse of the West.
O modern man, see the causes of your problems. You try to forge a political unity when you neglect a oneness in faith. Can the family of mankind come together when they reject God as their father?
Mary
All in the world are my children. No one is outside the scope of my love. Yet, so many do not know me and many who call on me do not know the powers that God has given to me. That is why I speak. Jesus will come again and I am now preparing the way. I am preparing the world for his coming. First, the divisions must be healed. To do this requires divine power and a divine plan. As people learn God’s plan, he can pour out his power. Then, God’s plan will not go astray or be used incorrectly.
God’s plan for unifying the world is through the unification of the Churches. Where all are interlocked by charity and truth, they will be ready to be a light to the nations of what God’s power can do. This will stir up the leaders and the writers. They will see God’s gift and say “We, too, must see what God is doing”. They will then come into a new light of unity, but the gift must begin with the Churches and Israel.
Powerful Forces Tear Apart the Fabric of Society
October 26, 2012
Jesus
Now, powerful forces tear apart the fabric of society because man no longer shares a common religious faith. When the idea of God is shattered, what can unite man? How can people see themselves as brothers and sisters when they have no common father? This is the great need, for all to regain the shared belief in God as their Father.
Look at any family. When the father is strong, the family has a clear identity. His permeating presence unites them, especially if he loves them with all his heart. The human family has the same need for God the loving Father. Nothing else will join mankind.
Mary
The human heart clamors for oneness. All of its hopes and desires are for unity but these desires are constantly frustrated by the power of sin. Spouses yearn for oneness but their selfishness builds walls. Peoples yearn for oneness but selfish interests cause conflicts. Leaders arise with great talents and people say “This is the one who will unite us”. O foolish people. Your desires for oneness are far deeper than you ever suspect and no human person can even fulfill these hopes.
Your desires came from heaven and can only be fulfilled by heaven. If you seek oneness, they seek it in heavenly things. You ask, “How can I seek this alone? You cannot do so. You must seek it with others. Start now along this path. Begin with just one other person. Unite your hearts and seek each day the Father’s witness on your union. What is accomplished in this way will not pass away.
I want the Whole World to Experience the Father
October 27, 2012
Jesus
No one has ever seen the Father except the Son. Now I want the whole world to experience the Father. These are the new graces which will soon be flowing from my heart. The greatest gift is to know the Father. How can man see the Father? Philip said to me, “Show us the Father” and I replied, “Philip, whoever has seen me has seen the Father”. (Jn.14:9)
Soon, I will manifest myself to the whole world and all will see me. At that moment, all will be able to know and see the Father. I will offer the world the great gift, as it was in the beginning when mankind was sinless and knew the Father. Now, mankind is filled with sin and hides in shame from the Father. All of that will change with the new gift. You must believe that I am coming soon.
Mary
Mankind does not realize it but it really seeks the heavenly Father. It is like an orphan child who sees other children with their fathers and wonders why it is deprived. Yes, mankind is deprived and isolated. It is deprived of experiencing the heavenly Father and is isolated from others. The second results from the first.
The intense yearning to be joined with the heavenly Father is often set aside and overlooked. It is like a hidden mystery that constantly causes inner problems, and allows mankind to experience a oneness with other people for which he is created also.
Pay Attention to the Stirrings of your Heart
October 28, 2012
Jesus
These gifts are already being given to my special servants so they can write and describe them. When you read of these new blessings, do not doubt. They are real. Also, do not say, “There are just for some” because this is what is new. What used to be just for some is now for all. Before, the special souls were enlightened and taught to seek these favors. Now, I come for all. I want to manifest myself to all the world. This is already taking place in your own heart. Pay attention to the stirrings of your heart and you will agree with all that I am teaching you.
Mary
How can man overcome these divisions which are everywhere? Husbands are divided against wives and wives against husbands. Parents are divided against children and children against parents. The same pattern holds true everywhere. Nation is against nation and peoples against peoples. The world is filled with little groups and all are fighting for their rights.
At the core of all man’s problems is the reality of division, a division which happened in the beginning when mankind, by its own choice, became divided against God. O mankind, do not try to heal your own divisions because you yourself are the cause of these divisions. Repent and turn to God. When this first division is healed, all the others will be removed. In my Son, Jesus, all are one – Jew and Gentile, man and woman.
The Great Ages of Faith
October 29, 2012
Jesus
When I come in the fullness of my divine visitation, the world will be quite different. The mind of men will by purified. Disbelief will have been cast out because no one can see and hear all that will occur and not believe that there is a God whose word should be heeded. It is not that men will be perfect but the dark clouds that have hidden the great sun of faith will no longer exist. Those writers who claimed to have discovered a new world without God, a world of a mankind come of age, will be laughed at and set aside. Those who explain divine mysteries will be listened to. This is how it was in the great Ages of Faith.
Mary
Can I bring human hearts together again when so many centuries have caused division? Pope John XXIII took the first step in that direction but much was done that limited the effects of his plan. Yet, the goal was put in view, that “all may be one”. Those are my Son’s words. He wanted the oneness of his disciples to be a sign and an invitation to the world, that all mankind could enjoy a new ones.
What happened to Jesus’ dream of unity? Divisions broke out between his disciples and Israel, divisions which last even until now. This is the goal of Fatima, to heal the centuries of divisions between the Church and Israel, for I am a member of both.
This Final Age of My Coming
October 30, 2012
Jesus
How should mankind move toward this Final Age of my coming? Certainly, not by “buying and selling, marrying and giving in marriage”. These are the necessary activities of earth but man must be lifted up higher.
Whenever there is a divine visitation, what is normally done each day must be put aside. The blessings come to all but are only received when the earth pays full attention.
This is why I speak, O reader. I want you to be fully aware. If you need mercy, mercy is abundant. If you need light, light will be given to you. If you need do turn way from sin, the grace of conversion is available. The divine favors are falling from the heaven. Why, to prepare your heart for my coming divine visitation. My words are clear and my message is complete.
Mary
The divine visitation will be soon but the divine favors are now. When formerly, God would give ten blessings, he now bestows a hundred. When before he would hold back his favors until a more propitious time, now he bestows them, knowing how soon he will come. Now that we have comes to the end of this teaching, read our words again. You have obtained the main thoughts. Go back and gather up the blessings that you missed the first time.
We strive to provide the most complete and highest quality material we can for you, our readers. Although not perfect,
it is our desire and prayer that you benefit from our efforts.
