Solemn Feast of Mary of the New Jerusalem
Homily of the Pontiff Samuel

(Draft)

Great is the Feast and great is the joy we share today on this Holy and Solemn Day, the Feast of the Wedding with Heaven, the Feast of Mary of the New Jerusalem (Rev 21:2), She who flung wide the gates of Heaven by her ‘yes’, so that Heaven could stoop ever lower on Earth to give His sons the dwelling place promised by the Father (Revelation of Jesus to Maria G. Norcia, “The dwelling place established by Jesus”, Mar 09, 1997): the New Jerusalem (Rev 21:3), that written promise that is now being accomplished and will be fully accomplished in the Fulfillment of fulfillments that we are experiencing.

Let us raise our hearts and our spirits to live this day; a day on which I once again invite us all to consecrate ourselves to the Immaculate Heart of Mary so that the sons of this Mother Church may be recognised for their love to Mary, as it is written in the recent Act of Magisterium (Act of Magisterium, “The Communion in the One Only Faith: Christ”, May 11, 2025), so that the union between Christ and Mary, between the Day of the Lord (Rev 1:10-11) and the Day of Mary, may be increasingly understood. Behold, everything is fulfilled in that living consecration which today is and will be the focal point for the sons of this Mother Church (Act of Magisterium, “Consecrating ourselves to Mary is a necessary act” Oct 14, 2024), and it is all the more true as we prepare to ordain new ministers so that this Church may grow in number and in faith, so that the world may see and believe (Jn 17:21). This is what we are now called to do.

This is what is needed: the Lord Himself has need of it (Mk 11:3). He needs to see sons and faithful people who are truly holy (Act of Magisterium, “With Mary to be holy”, Oct. 31, 2023). In contrast to a world that lives on appearances and applause, the sons of God must manifest that holy ministry which must be for everyone the essence and substance of He who is: Christ the Way, the Truth and the Life (Jn 14:6). This is the ministry given by Jesus: living fidelity to the service of Christ; living fidelity to the service of the Son of God. This must be the ministry. Ministry is nothing unless it is grounded and fused with the Rock that is Christ (1 Cor 10:4), Christ the one Heart, Christ. To serve Christ is to serve our brothers and to die to our ‘self’, placing His Holy Name at the centre (Phil 2:9-11).

Now, as then, we are called to fulfil His Will, just as those first Friends, the Apostles, did when they were consecrated to Christ through Mary in that same ministry which reaches our days (Act of Magisterium, ‘The Generation of Saints’, Mar 23, 2025). Therefore, in order to give concrete expression to the effects of His Word, we are all called to live as saints (Eph 1:4), to be perfect as our Father in Heaven is perfect, so that we may be living limbs of the one mystical Body that is Christ (1Cor 12: 12-27) so then to complete in our flesh, as St. Paul said, what is lacking in the Sacrifice of Christ (Col 1:24), so that all may be redeemed, so that all may live Life, the true Life that has come down here to dwell with His sons for eternity (Act of Magisterium, ‘The True Church’, May 08, 2025).

This is the essence of the sons of God that now we are all called to manifest (Rom 8:19). Here are those who choose to stand out for love compared to others who choose to live for appearances. Love is joy, Love is Life, Love is God, One and Triune, who took flesh in the womb of the Blessed ever-Virgin Mary (Jn 1:14) to dwell with His sons again (Revelation of Jesus to Maria G. Norcia, “The Holy City”, June 23, 1996).

This is the Doctrine that we are called to place at the centre of our lives again. In a time of great apostasy (2Thes 2:3) and confusion, the sons of God are to manifest and embody the only Doctrine that leads to Christ, a timeless Doctrine, a Doctrine that gave birth to Christianity (Acts 11:26). It was a great privilege for those first Friends to be His messengers, and so it must be now for these new friends, for these new consecrated persons, so that they may manifest this call by their example of life (1Pt 2:12), in order to renew today that ‘yes’, following the example of the Maiden of God, which binds us to God the Father Almighty for eternity (Jn 17:3).

Behold dear brothers and friends, today we are all called to renew that yes (2 Cor 1:20) so that God – thanks to that renewed “yes” – may work in us as He pleases, just as our Mother taught us in that eternal prayer: “Let it be done to me according to Your will” (Lk 1:38). ‘Yes, I love you, Lord; yes, I love you, brother.’ To love God cannot be separated from loving our brothers. These two realities are united, inseparably united: love for God and love for our brothers. We cannot claim to truly love God if we lack fraternal love. This characterises and will always characterise this Church, the consecrated members of this Church, the faithful of this Church. Brotherhood is love (Rom 12:10) and where there is brotherhood there is God, the Love of God, that Only Begotten Love who gives Life (Jn 10:10). Here is this Tabernacle, the Little Cradle of the Child Jesus (Revelation of Jesus to Maria G. Norcia, ‘The Greatest Sacrarium there is‘ Sept 09, 1986) that the Father once again did not keep for Himself, but in His infinite Love, He has willed to give to His sons (Jn 1:12). Here is the prayer ‘Jesus, our Light’. The Father chose to give Jesus a Mother, and Jesus did not keep Her only for Himself but gave Her to us so that Mary might be recognised not only as Queen (Rev 12:1) but above all as universal Mother, Mother of Grace, Universal Co-Redemptrix (Gen 3:15).

Thus, every word revealed by Jesus to the Maiden of God is being fulfilled and must be understood, lived and embodied so that the Word, who once again has taken Flesh, may dwell steadfastly in the heart of each one of us, so that our hearts may become living cradles of God’s love and generate life, life, life, eternal life. This is life in Christ, dear brothers, beloved young people, this is the meaning of life that we must restore to the centre of this world, in this arid and bewildered humanity that has strayed from the path (Is 53:6), because it has lost true love for Christ and for Mary (Rev 2:4).

We are called to put all this back to the centre in order to restore everything to the Church of the origins. Behold the example of Peter (Mt 16:18); behold the example of those first Friends who are now united with us more than ever: the triumphant Church unites with the militant Church, this Church, to bring everything to fulfilment (Rev 21:6) because this is the time for concreteness. It is no longer the time to stand out solely for words, which have been thus far spoken inopportunely by those who, placed at the centre inopportunely, have made the Doctrine of Christ become a blunder (2Tm 4:3-4). Now the stakes are higher; the more subtle and insidious the tactics of God’s enemy become — attentive even to the words spoken — the more God’s sons must be concrete because where there is mere appearance, we must respond with much substance (1Sam 16:7). This is the call to be holy; only in this way will it be possible to show where God truly dwells and where instead there is only appearance and no Spirit (2Tm 3:5).

Dear faithful, this is what we are now called to live and manifest: not just with words, but with upright and blameless lives that bear witness to the holiness dwelling within each of us, just as the Maiden of God showed us throughout her entire life of service to God and neighbour (Jn 2:5). People went to her seeking guidance, and she led everyone to Jesus: ‘Do not seek of me, do not come for me, but turn to Jesus, go to Jesus’ (Act of Magisterium, ‘Maria G. Norcia. Her Nativity, the Sign of Rebirth for Humanity’, Jan 21, 2019). Jesus made use of His favourite Tool because talking to Her meant talking to His Heart; asking Her was actually asking Him, in an interplay of complicity that saved so many. Many unrepentant, hardened souls melted and returned to God when faced with Her sweetness and smile (Zc 1:3).

This is the miracle that has been accomplished and has been reiterated throughout time and betimes. Many have returned to the true faith (Jude 1:3), to the true Love of Jesus thanks to those eyes, thanks to that smile, thanks to that Heart, which must now be our smile, our gaze, our heart so that She may live in us, in each one of us (Gal 2:20). This is the mission, the testament She handed down to us. On this Wedding Day with Heaven (Rev 19:7), we are called to embody all Her virtues so that we may embody the virtues of Mary as She did throughout Her life, showing perfect continuity.

Here is the Church of Christ that will rise and manifest itself in holiness (Eph 5:27). The Church of Christ is not the Church of the conformists, the Church of Christ is not the Church of the traders, the Church of Christ is not the Church of the unfaithful. The Church of Christ is sovereign (Col 1:18), authentic, alive, proclaiming the Truth without coercion, manifesting freedom without compulsion, transmitting Love to penetrate hearts and manifesting Justice to defeat the enemies, the hypocrisy, the deception. This, dear brothers, is the Church of Christ (Eph 2:19-22).

Now, the battle we are called to fight, the good battle of faith – as St Paul says (1 Tim 6:12) – is a battle of method, no longer just of words: the Christian method, to thus be Christians in simplicity (Mt 18:3), in concreteness. Helping one another, allowing ourselves to be guided in understanding the word of Christ, which is life, which is given to us in small doses daily by the Love of God (Jn 3:16). This is the preparation imparted over time and betimes in these recent years, to help everyone understand how to actualise the word of God (Heb 4:12), how to make that word proclaimed long ago speak to us today, so to live that day which is eternal, so that that word may speak to us, manifest itself and become concrete today: not just a word explained in the past, but brought into the present propelling us towards that future which is near (Rev 1:3). The Lord is near, He is here, He is here, He is here.

And when we recognise Him in those little eyes, in those little outstretched arms, we give our all for our Jesus, the Child Jesus welcomed by the Maiden of God to dwell in Her Heart: She who loved Him as His Mother loved Him (Revelation of Jesus to Maria G. Norcia, “The Return of Jesus”, Oct. 30, 1994) so that everyone would love Him with the same Only Begotten Love: two Hearts, one single Heart (Acts 4:32).

Behold, prayer and brotherhood return to be the centre, seeking each other among brothers, making ourselves available to one another, striving to understand each other’s struggles and work together to find solutions (Mt 25:40). Dear brothers, this is what brotherhood truly is. It is not an abstract concept; let others cling to abstractions and the illusion of fine but empty words, because their sense of brotherhood no longer exists. In another house, there is no longer brotherhood: there is fratricide (Gen 4:8-9). frantic efforts are made to feign unity, but in truth, are all against all (Gal 5:15). No longer do they live ‘One for all, and all for One’. Instead, it is ‘Each for himself, and God for someone else’. No longer, no longer, no longer (Mt 22:37-40). Behold the Christian method that disregards appearances and insists on the importance of the concreteness of every gesture, every action, every word.

Today, we are all invited to undertake this task so that we may win this final battle and reach the Fulfilment of fulfilments (Rev 21:6), because every word spoken by Jesus and revealed by Jesus to His Maiden is now coming to pass (Lk 1:45). Here is the invitation to see in those in charge, the authority of Jesus, that is a help to grow, just as Jesus revealed to His Maiden (Revelation of Jesus to Maria G. Norcia, ‘The Catechesis’, Jan. 21, 1988). Every revealed word is now being fulfilled and incarnated. Blessed are those who docilely want to live this word, make it their own and bring it to everyone with their example of life, just as the Maiden of God did, She who is always alive in our hearts, because Her example is tangible, not mere appearance but the living embodiment of God’s Love.

This is who this Maiden is and this is how She lived every day for thirty-three years, behind a little window, so that she could widely open the doors, the shutters of that small window, her Heart, therefore allowing everyone to enter that Holy and Pure Heart (Mt 5:8) and bringing them to the Heart of the Father who is Life (Jn 11:25), the Fulfilment of fulfilments that we will experience to the extent that we remain faithful to these timeless and eternal teachings (Revelation of Jesus to Maria G. Norcia, ‘You are never alone’, Oct. 28, 1985), because the Word of God will be fulfilled to the very end (Is 55:11).

Dear brothers, this is the surrender to God’s Will to which we are invited, on the example of She who is our Mother. Her “yes”, our “yes”. Let us consecrate ourselves today to Her Pure and Holy Heart so that we may consecrate ourselves together with Her, in a single reality, to Mary, so that Mary may be our Everything (Act of Magisterium, “As the Name of Jesus the Redeemer saves, so the Name of Mary the Coredemptrix saves”, Sept. 12, 2021).

‘Totus tuus’ (I am all yours) was often repeated by a great saint. He said it with words, but he embodied it in his example of life, unlike those who now say “Hail Mary” with their lips, but in their hearts live something else (Mt 15:8).

Brothers, we will proclaim the ‘Hail Mary’ through the witness of our lives leading everyone to consecrate themselves to Her Immaculate Heart in order to show the world where the only Lion of the tribe of Judah is (Rev 5:5) who will lead His sons to Victory (Act of Magisterium, ‘Mary the Immaculate will win’, Dec 8, 2023). There is one only Lion, holy and mighty, who bears the Cross indeed upon His forehead, — as was revealed to that nun many years ago — and above all upon His Heart, a Heart (Jh 19:34) where there is a Cross, and in the upper corner, an “M” — leading all to Mary, so that we may triumph in Mary, with Mary, and for Mary.

And so be it.
