by welcoming the New Jerusalem

(Draft)

Beloved brothers, the feast is alive, continuous, and throbbing. Let us continue to live this Holy Week that characterizes the life of the Mother Church (Act of Magisterium, “The True Church”, May 08, 2025); a Week that began on May 13 and will end on May 20, in those seven days that marked the history of the Maiden of God, a history in union with Jesus, with Mary (Lk 1:38) and with this Holy Martyr Mesiah, who accompanied Her from the beginning, the first day, to the end, the last day (2Tm 4:7). And today is the eve of the Feast of Christianity that heals, May 19, when we remember that wound that the world considered mortal and incurable, but that Jesus wanted to heal with His own Hands, incising the body of the Maiden of God (Act of Magisterium, “Maria G. Norcia. Her Nativity, Sign of rebirth for all humanity now called to welcome the appeal of the Father“, Jan. 21, 2019), so that the ”yes” proclaimed on May 15 could bear fruit not only for Her Heart, — already fruitful, eternally fruitful (Jn 15:5) – “I know you from all eternity” –, always in communion with Jesus (Revelation of Jesus to Maria G. Norcia, “You are never alone”, Oct. 28, 1985), since the Father’s thought is: a great mystery (Eph 1:4-5) this Maiden. But that “yes” had to bear fruit for the many sons who, throughout time, would have listened to Her Heart, listened to the Announcement that the Father had commanded Her to make.

So, from May 15 to May 19, she accomplished what the Father had commanded her to do, in order to save a soul. This was a prelude to the salvation of many souls, in that Mission of salvation that the Father had entrusted to Her, and here is the day of healing, and then the day of the encounter with this Holy Martyr, in the union of hearts that have beaten as one (Acts 4:32), to give complete manifestation – rest, seventh day – of all that had been accomplished.

Seven days: a summary of Creation itself. In those seven days lies the essence of what would become the history of the Fulfilment of fulfilments, the final passage of Redemption (Heb 9:12), which Jesus and Mary began and which this Maiden, called by the Father (Revelation of Jesus to Maria G. Norcia, “She Who is the Synthesis of the Prophets and Ancient Patriarchs” July 26, 1996), by welcoming the Son sent by the Father, would have had to bring to completion together with Jesus (Col 1:24).

Dear brothers, this is the Feast that continues and must remain alive in our hearts, in the awareness of all that we live, so that we may look ahead with full understanding and complete all that the Father asks of us (Phil 1:6). This is the “yes” that must bear fruit in everyone’s heart. First, an interior healing, so that each one of us, through the “yes” spoken and repeated, may be deeply healed within, casting away every tiny grain of sand that could hinder all that is Light (Mt 13:22). Thus, each heart, made perfect and holy, may become a cradle for God’s Love and welcome the Saviour (Lk 2:28-30), just as the Maiden of God did. There was no grain of impurity in Her Heart, for that Heart was already pure, but this was the example that the Father wanted to give us, so that each of us might do likewise: to purify our hearts every day making them holy and perfect, so to now bring all to completion (Jn 19:30).

Dear brothers, this is the path that we are called to tread with keen awareness (Act of Magisterium, “The Generation of Saints” Mar 23, 2025).  This is the first healing, to then come to the healing of Christianity, the Feast of Christianity that heals; a Christianity that is ill, seriously ill (Rev 3:17). To be healed, it must say yes to the Announcement of the Maiden of God, who has proclaimed the New Jerusalem (Rev 21:2).  And for that proclaimed yes to become a path of life, we must receive the Announcement, live the Announcement accordingly, live the Mystery of God made flesh, in order to welcome the Thought of God who became incarnate in history, to bring Christianity to complete healing (Act of Magisterium, “Mary Mother of Christianity”, Oct. 31, 2024), and humanity to eternal salvation (1Tm 2:4).

This is the path, dear brothers, that we must walk individually and that humanity and Christianity must follow collectively if they are to attain Salvation. Outside of this path, there can be no Salvation; there may be other paths humanly that are deemed good and valid, certainly, but there is only one Thought of God, and this is it; there are no others (Act of Magisterium, “One is the message, One is the mandate, and One is the Mission that forms the bedrock of the militant and triumphant Church of Christ” Feb. 27, 2025). This is the history that God wants to bring to conclusion (Rev 21:6).

Dear brothers, in order to do this, Christians, the people of God, must not be unbelievers but believers: credible and faithful. This is today’s Gospel, where Jesus rises from the dead, but those who should have been the first to welcome Him were unable to believe immediately and remained in their unbelief (Mk 16:11). For this reason, Jesus intervenes and reproves their disbelief. “He reproached them for their incredulity and obstinacy, because they had refused to believe those who had seen him after he had risen” (Mk 16:14).

And all you proclaim to everyone that Jesus has returned here, so that all may know: whoever believes will not be reproached but will be saved (Mk 16:16). Consider the example of Mary Magdalene that this Gospel passage brings to the centre. She was a sinner, for many a great sinner, for others the greatest sinner. This woman had to hit rock bottom. And once there, she had to dig even deeper, yet from that moment, she rose again, and having lost everything, she gave herself completely (Revelation of Jesus to Maria G. Norcia, “To die in order to live, to lose in order to gain”, Mar. 24, 1985). She kept nothing for herself because she had nothing left to keep. And for this reason, when we give everything, we regain everything (Mt 10:39), and the limit is no longer finite but becomes infinite because we abandon ourselves to the infinite Love that is God, and our heart expands immeasurably.

Dear brothers, this is the path of the saints. Think of St. Paul: these great sinners who became the greatest saints. Why? Because they no longer wanted to keep anything for themselves. Those who think they can be saints and, deep down inside, believe they have not done so badly in their lives and therefore want to keep “a little something” for themselves, always risk stumbling over that “little something” that they do not want to give totally to God (Mk 10:21-22). Peter could not keep for himself what he already had when he was called, “and this was painful for him” (Revelation of Jesus to Maria G. Norcia, “The Catechesis”, Jan 1, 1988), says Jesus, but this is the call, which is total. When we are called, we must be wholly for God, because God wants us wholly for Himself. This is the story of the saints, dear brothers, which we are called to retrace today (1Cor 11:1). The more we give of ourselves, the more we will be able to do what Jesus asks of us.

Here is the example of life of the Maiden of God that returns once again: She gave herself completely. Her human life had come to an end, but she entrusted herself to God and everything began again, everything started afresh (Rom 8:28). This is the life of the saints, dear brothers, of those who want to be holy, of those who do not want to keep anything for themselves, but give everything to the good Lord, trusting in the good Lord (Ps 37:5). Here is that wound that has been healed, and here is that whoever manages to follow this path will be healed of every spiritual wound and beyond.

And so this wound evokes another wound, described in the Book of books: the wound, therefore, of a woman who heals in order to heal humanity (behold Maria Giuseppina and this path that leads to Salvation) versus another wound described in the Book of Revelation, which strikes a beast. “I saw a beast emerge from the sea: it had seven heads and ten horns, with a coronet on each of its ten horns, and its heads were marked with blasphemous titles. I saw that the beast was like a leopard, with paws like a bear and a mouth like a lion; the dragon had handed over to it his own power and his throne and his immense authority. I saw that one of its heads seemed to have had a fatal wound but that this deadly injury had healed and the whole world had marvelled and followed the beast. They prostrated themselves in front of the dragon because he had given the beast his authority; and they prostrated themselves in front of the beast, saying, «Who can compare with the beast? Who can fight against it?»” (Rev 13:1-4).

Cyclical actions, dear brothers, that return; hence why the Apocalypse has never been truly understood. Even in 2013, this scene reappeared on a beast that seemed mortally wounded by scandals, by many crows, and then suddenly, all was over, all past, all was fine again. Now, after these years that have shown so many deviations from true and sound doctrine, that wound has reappeared – especially felt by those who considered and consider themselves guardians of the tradition of the faith, – has finished! A change of attire, more fitting; more careful words, more appropriate: and now they consider all is over, all healed!

The earth will come to the aid of the Woman and Her sons, as it is written (Rev 12:16-17), and everything that must be revealed will be revealed. Do not be afraid, sons of God, when all this happens, because it will be the Father’s permission to help the sons of God. And many little ones, subjugated, oppressed, crushed, will find rest in the Heart of the Father for eternity (Mt 11:28); but those who believe themselves to be omnipotent, will suffer and will not be consoled (Act of Magisterium, “The Arm of the Father. Now It has come down to bestow Love, Justice, and Mercy“, Oct. 23, 2022). This will happen, dear brothers.

Here are the signs, as described on this page of the Gospel. Jesus speaks of signs: the signs are God’s permission and must be caught and understood. «You will be able to tell them by their fruits» (Mt 7:16), says Jesus. In a house, this house, signs of life, eternal life: «in my name they will cast out devils; they will have the gift of tongues; they will pick up snakes in their hands and be unharmed should they drink deadly poison; they will lay their hands on the sick, who will recover» (Mk 16:17-18).

In another house, there are signs of death, scandals of all kinds, abuses and oppressions perpetrated especially against many little ones and innocents whose cry has reached the Heart of Jesus who now, as then, says: “anyone who is the downfall of one of these little ones who have faith, would be better thrown into the sea with a great millstone hung round his neck” (Mk 9:42): this is the word of God. Likewise, whoever blasphemes against the Spirit, whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit, will not be saved (Mk 3:29): this is the word of God. And no one can change the word of God; one can try to quibble, as has been done, even recently, but the word of God is one, timeless, and eternal (1Pt 1:25).

The cries of so many little ones abused in their innermost being have reached the Heart of Jesus, who will reveal everything: and the scandals can no longer be contained: not one, not two, not three, but many, many, many! This is the holy proselytism of the sons of God to which Jesus invites us in this Gospel passage (Mk 16:15), that proselytism which was considered a solemn nonsense until a few days ago; that idea of “proselytism considered nonsense” that had led others to believe that in every religion there is the wise will of God (cf. “Document on Human Fraternity for World Peace and Living Together”, Abu Dhabi, February 4, 2019). This is what has been taught until now. Is it all over? Is it all in the past?

Proselytism is a teaching of Jesus (Mt 28:19-20). And here, one and only one is — and will remain — the clear and consistent Announcement that does not change with the times: whoever believes in Jesus, the Son of God, will be saved (Acts 4:32); those who do not believe in Jesus,  — who came down here, who returned here to allow everyone to live the New Jerusalem,  — will not find Salvation. There is only one Salvation, because ‘God saves’ is His name (Mt 1:21).

Beloved brothers, go forth and proclaim to all the Gospel that here finds fulfilment, go forth and proclaim to all the Good News, for truly the Lord has returned and has pitched His Tent here to dwell with His sons (Rev 21:3). This is the holy proselytism of the sons of the New Jerusalem (Act of Magisterium, “The Christian Faith”, Oct. 27, 2024) who have accepted the Announcement of the Maiden of God, have trusted and entrusted themselves to Her Heart and have taken Her hands to embark on the journey that will lead everyone to the Heart of the Father (Jn 14:6). A journey that began long ago, because the Father wanted to give humanity time to prepare. Another 13, years earlier, in May, marked a significant moment in God’s history: May 13, 1917, when the Holy Mother in Fatima wanted to announce to everyone that something important was about to happen. And the Holy Mother asked everyone for the Consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary (Revelation of Jesus to Maria G. Norcia, “Mary, I consecrate myself to You”, March 10, 1986) in order to prepare humanity for another 13, which would mark history a few years later on 13 June 1947: the Mother preparing for the coming of her Son who descends to prepare His Kingdom, the Kingdom of Christ on Earth (Rev 11:15).

The Annunciation of the Holy Mother at Fatima went unheeded, even though there were men who tried to do everything possible to promote it. Today, on the anniversary of his birth, May 18, I want to honour St. John Paul II: he who tried to consecrate the world to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, yet was not fully heeded. Praise to you, John Paul II, for what you did! Now it is up to us, dear brothers, to bring to completion what he and others throughout history have sought, with so much love, to accomplish for the love of Jesus. We must now bring everything to completion because the Father has called us through His Maiden, so that every word prophesied and proclaimed may be entirely fulfilled (Lk 24:44), so that the Kingdom of Christ and the Kingdom of Mary, which has been established here, may be brought to completion (Revelation of Jesus to Maria G. Norcia, “The Dwelling Place Established by Jesus”, Mar 9, 1997). The last battle we will fight is still to come, the good battle of faith (1Tm 6:12), so that Jesus may be acknowledged to be the only Saviour of the world.

Respect for everything and everyone, but no one can ever stop us from proclaiming that only in Jesus Christ there is Salvation, because this Church is profoundly Christian and profoundly Marian, because Christ is the Redeemer (Gal 3:13-14) and Mary is the Coredemptrix (Act of Magisterium, “As the Name of Jesus the Redeemer saves, so the Name of Mary the Co-Redemptrix saves”, Sept. 12, 2021).

This is what animates us, this is our faith! Proclaim it to everyone, so that all those who do not know this Church may freely come and see (Jn 1:46) and, if they are pleased, they can stay and take part in the banquet that is ready here (Mt 22:1-14). The Feast is ready. Those who are thirsty and those who are hungry, may come and drink from the side of Christ; living Water flows from His breast (Jn 7:37-38). Come, take you all and eat (Mt 26:26). The living Bread has come down from Heaven and is ready to feed all those who want to be nourished by Christ and Christ alone (Jn 6:51), because only in Christ is there Salvation.

This is how Christianity will be healed: by partaking of the Living Bread, unstained, by drinking from the Chalice of Christ, from that new Wine which Jesus promised He would drink anew in His Kingdom (Lk 22:18). Here we are, dear brothers! Jesus has kept every promise! (2Cor 1:20) Come, eat, drink, take, all of you, for the Table is alive, continuous and throbbing (Ap 19:9). Christ and Mary are waiting for you (Revelation of Jesus to Maria G. Norcia, “The Source of Mercy and Peace”, Apr. 19, 1998). Their Arms are outstretched, so that whoever wants to take their Hands will be saved for eternity, in Christ and Mary (Rev. 22:17).

And so be it.
