Universal Message from the Mother Church:
Year 2026
“The freshness of faith and the devotion
to Christ and Mary”

  1. In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. May the Peace of the risen Christ (Jn 20:21) – born for our salvation in Bethlehem’s Grotto (Mt 2:2), returned to His Little Cradle (Acts 1:11), the second and last Grotto of this humanity (Revelation of Jesus to Mary G. Norcia, ‘The Holy Spirit’, 13/09/1984) to bring to fulfilment the Project of Love and Redemption for the Salvation of all His faithful sons and all men and women of good will – be with you all.

  2. In this new calendar year, we entrust ourselves once again to the maternal protection and intercession of Mary, Mother of God (Mt 2:11) and universal Mother (Jn 19:27), a good and tender Mother, under whose loving mantle the sons of God find comfort, shelter and refuge, renewing the Act of Consecration and Devotion to Her Immaculate Heart (Act of Magisterium, ‘
    Consecrating ourselves to Mary is a necessary act
    ’, 14/10/2024) to continue living the essence of true faith, fresh and renewed in Baby Jesus, born here and returned to lead everyone to eternal Life.

  3. Here is the freshness of faith, which, in this new phase of the sons of God’s  journey, must be central, and must be the centre of their daily life: a renewed faith in Christ and Mary, a living and authentic faith, which does not discard the past, nor wants to abolish the Law and the Prophets (Mt 5:17) but wishes to bring everyone to live the new and renewed Good News in the Only Begotten Love, who came down and was made flesh in the New Jerusalem to fulfil the Will of the Father, that is the Salvation of all His sons.

  4. The freshness of faith must lead every son of God, and all those who are animated by good will, to practise true Devotion towards Him who is Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and towards Her who is Mother, the Universal Co-Redemptrix (Pontifical Decree, ‘In Mary, with Mary and for Mary’, 22/12/2019).

  5. Devotion consists in making Christ and Mary live fully in the heart of each son; devotion is an act of profound love for the Triune God, who in this Land of Love has gathered His sons to graft them once again as branches onto the true Vine (Jn 15:5), onto the Tree that is Life (Rev 22:14), He who gave Himself completely and who loves us in order to give us Life, He who is eternal Life for the Salvation of His son.

  6. The Act of Devotion to Christ and Mary to which every son is called upon is a union between the call and the response; the Act of Devotion is the Love encounter between our God and each one of us; the Act of Devotion is that Covenant of Love, made from the heart between the Father and His sons, from which no one wants to break away, because no one wants to lose their Everything, because no one wants to lose themselves (Jn 15:6).

  7. This Act of Devotion must be lively and complete, so that anyone who comes to the Little Cradle of Baby Jesus may meet His new Apostles, His new disciples, so that everyone may understand true devotion to the Mystery of the Child-God, to the Father’s Plan, to the Plan of Love and Redemption that will lead everyone to Salvation (Revelation of Jesus to Maria G. Norcia, ‘The Eternal Privileged Altar for the Hypostatic Union’, 30/06/1985).

  8. Here is “the” Fulfilment: Salvation, a fulfilment within everyone’s reach (Act of Magisterium, ‘The Christian Genesis’, 21/11/2022). To achieve it, everyone is called upon to put their heart into it, and therefore their will. The initial desire to do good becomes, along the way, a living desire to do ‘the’ Good, God the Supreme Good, which manifests itself by putting into practice the Will of the Father (Mt 6:10), He who created everything, He who moves everything, He who, through infinite Mercy, welcomes everyone into the Little Cradle, and He who, through infinite Justice, will separate the saved from those who will be condemned (Mt 25:46).

  9. This is the reality of God, which the world no longer wants to hear or accept. The world lives in an artificial, sugar-coated reality, drugged by every human feeling that is exacerbated by connivance with sin, so as to call good what is evil and sinful, and to consider evil what comes from God (2 Tim 4:3-4). The world has made a god for its own use and consumption, which no longer lives the purity of faith and Love, which no longer lives Mary and Her eternal prayer: “Do with me as you please: Your Will be done.” (Lk 1:38a); but lives another reality and another prayer: ‘Do with me as I please. My will be done.”

  10. This is the true throwaway culture, which has discarded and no longer wants to get to know Jesus and His Law of Love, which is Mercy and Justice (Mt 25); a throwaway culture that has discarded and does not want to welcome Mary, the Immaculate One of the Holy Spirit and the Universal Co-Redemptrix, She who is the Tabernacle and Temple of the Holy Spirit, in order to make room for an anti-Christian and anti-Christ culture and religion (Mk 13:14) that has taken hold of many hearts, that discards the true God, One and Triune, and His and our Mother, and teaches that all religions lead to God; which considers and calls ‘love’ what is actually abomination and apostasy; which is imbued with all that is worldly and sinful, making hearts cold and lukewarm in their devotion to the true God, thus leading them on the path to the abyss (Rev 3:16).

  11. For this reason, the freshness of faith must now place true devotion to the true religion back at the centre in many hearts that are distant and disappointed by those who have betrayed the mandate, and by those who live only for worldliness. This is the desire to live as true brothers in Christ and of Christ, to be one with the Brother, Friend and Master Jesus (Jn 17:21), the Good Shepherd (Jn 10:16), who came down to the New Jerusalem to lead everyone back to the only Fold of God (Jer 50:4-6), His Dwelling Place (Rev 21:3), Home to all the sons of God.

  12. God is Joy (Revelation of Jesus to Maria G. Norcia, ‘Joy albeit in suffering’, 01/01/1989), God is Love (1 Jn 4:8-9), God is Spirit (Jn 4:24), God is Life (Jn 6:63), God is the Man-God Jesus, who once again draws everyone to Himself in a new and renewed call, to bring back to the world the freshness of faith, the freshness of living true Devotion to God as something beautiful, pure, holy, which lets hearts fly without weighing them down and crushing them with the narrow limits of a law and a tradition that binds and stifles hearts, causing many to flee from the sincere desire to live God (Mark 7:8-9); that does not constrain or compel; that goes against all that is old and stale in order to leave the fresh scent of God in hearts, breaking every chain that binds us to sin, bringing to everyone the joy of prayer, which is a lively and intimate dialogue with God; that, at the same time, does not take lightly both the faith and the call received by belittling the significance that must be given to love and faith, to the fear of God, to respect for all that belongs to God (Revelation of Jesus to Maria G. Norcia, ‘Catechesis of Jesus’, 01/01/1988), but leads everyone to live the call in the true freedom that is only fulfilled in Christ (Jn 8:32).

  13. ‘Come and see’ (Jn 1:46b) is the invitation I extend once again to many people, so that in this new phase they may feel the true freedom that can be experienced in this Corner of Paradise on Earth, in order to be truly devoted to the One who created everything (Gen 1:1) and to make this devotion manifest with joy, so that those who set foot and heart in the New Jerusalem (Rev 21:2) may never feel scrutinised, pointed at, judged, but always welcomed and loved, so that the hearts may fly free, ever higher towards the Sun of God, who was born in the Little Cradle, rose and will never set again. In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
