Question
Dear Padraig,

The Queenship of Mary In the Catholic faith we honor Mary as the Mother of God. I am a spanish-catholic traditional and religious. When I was 15 I seen the Blessed Virgin and she told me there is a coming chastiment from God and a purification time she said: The LORD will cause men to hear his majestic voice and will make them see his arm coming down with raging anger and consuming fire, with cloudburst, thunderstorm and hail.

Isaiah 30:30
In the fire of his jealousy the whole world will be consumed, for he will make a sudden end of all who live in the earth.

Zephaniah 1:18


But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything in it will be laid bare.That day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat.
2 Peter 3:10-11


The first angel sounded his trumpet, and there came hail and fire mixed with blood, and it was hurled down upon the earth. A third of the earth was burned up, a third of the trees were burned up, and all the green grass was burned up.

Revelation 8:7

A third of mankind was killed by the three plagues of fire, smoke and sulfur that came out of their mouths.

Revelation 9:18

This century is remarkable for the number of apparitions of Jesus and Mary. Our Lady of Fatima is perhaps the most well known, but since then, three separate visitations of Jesus and Mary stand out in terms of the importance of the message that was proclaimed. I seen Mary in the most beautiful famous white gown and blue veil. She had spanish toned skin. And light brown hair. Her lips were soft pink, and she had a youthful appearence. She called her self Our lady of Gentle love!

I have a calling to become a nun I became aware of the Lord Jesus clothed in a white garment. And I was determined to look down but he said Why are you looking at the floor I said I am to shameful of my sins I committed before you Lord. He said I forgive you sin no more. He was so beautiful.

One hand was raised in blessing, the other was touching the garment at the breast. From the opening in the garment at the breast there came forth two large rays, one red, and the other pale. In silence I gazed intently at the Lord and Mary; my soul was overwhelmed with fear, but also with great joy. Mary said this is his ocean of Mercy. She showed me her heart in her hand. I was in shock but overwhelmed with ecstacy! After a while the Lord said unto me: Fear not My daughter,paint an image according to the pattern you see, with this inscription: 'Jesus,and Mary I trust in you. '

"Some time later, Our Lord again spoke to me: " The pale ray stands for the Water which makes souls righteous; the red ray stands for the Blood which is the life of souls.

These two rays issued forth from the depths of my most tender Mercy at that time when My agonizined heart was opened was opened by a lance on the Cross.... Fortunate is the one who will dwell in their shelter, for the just hand of God shall not lay hold of him"

The Promise


Our Lord told me that He wanted this picture to be venerated and attached a promise to it:
"I promise that the soul that will venerate this picture will not perish. I further promise to that soul victory over enemies here on earth and especially in the hour of death. I myself, shall defend that soul as My own Glory...." I will preserve the cities and homes in which this image shall be venerated."

When I was 18 I recieved my confirmation and was given the name dedicated to God or in other words Isabell. I was standing in front of my dear friend Fr. Peter and he was anointing me with Holy oil! " I saw a great light, with God the Father in the midst of it.

Between this light and the earth I saw Jesus nailed to the Cross and in such a way that God, wanting to look upon the earth, had to look through Our Lord's wounds. And I understood that God blessed the earth for the sake of Jesus."

After I prayed "Let the greatest sinners place their trust in My Lords' mercy. They have the right before others to trust in the abyss of My mercy. Souls that make an appeal to My mercy delight Me. To such souls I grant even more graces than they ask. I cannot punish even the greatest sinner if he makes an appeal to My compassion.

End Times


Jesus said " Write down these words, My daughter. Speak to the world about My Mercy; let all mankind recognize My unfathomable Mercy. It is a sign for the end times; after it , will come the day of justice. While there is still time, let them have recourse to the fount of My Mercy; let them profit from the Blood and water which gushed forth for them........ before I come as the just one, I first open wide the gates of My Mercy. He who does not pass through the gates of My Mercy must pass through the gates of justice.

Before I come as the just judge, I am coming first as the King of Mercy. Before the day of justice arrives, there will be given to people a sign in the heavens of this sort:

All light in the heavens will be extinguished, and there will be a great darkness over the whole earth. Then the sign of the cross will be seen in the sky, and from the openings where the hands and the feet of the Saviour were nailed will come forth great lights which will light up the earth for a period of time. This will take place shortly before the last day."

On a later occasion Our Lady appeared to me and said the following words: "I gave the Saviour to the world. As for you, you have to speak to the world about His great mercy and prepare the world for the Second Coming of Him who will come, not as a merciful saviour, but as a just Judge. O how terrible is that day! Determined is the day of justice, the day of divine wrath. The angels tremble before it.

Speak to souls about this great mercy while it is still time for mercy. If you keep silent now, you will be answering for a great number of souls on that terrible day."


In each case the message to us is that God loves us with infinite love and compassion, and calls all of humanity to a loving friendship with him by repenting of our sins and converting our lives into conformity with His commandments.

We are told that we must choose whether we will meet Him through the gates of His Mercy, or the gates of His Justice. Then Jesus said unto me: "Tell souls who spread the honour of my mercy I shield through their entire life and at the hour of death I will not be a judge for them, but the Merciful Saviour...

"My daughter, write down these words: All souls who will glorify My mercy and spread it's worship, encouraging others to trust in My mercy, will not experience terror at the hour of death. My mercy will shield them in that final battle..."

Then Jesus looked at Mary and then she said: "At three o'clock implore My Mercy especially for sinners; and, if only for a brief moment, immerse yourself in my Passion, particularly in My abandonment at the moment of agony. This is the hour of great mercy for the whole world....In this hour I will refuse nothing to the soul that makes a request of Me in virtue of My Passion".

Mary: "My daughter, speak to the world of My inexhaustible Mercy. I desire that this feast be a refuge and shelter for all souls, especially for poor sinners. The very depths of My Mercy will be opened on that day. I will pour out a sea of graces upon those souls that will approach the fount of My Mercy on this day. ...Let no soul fear to come to Me, even if its sins be as scarlet. This feast emerged from the bosom of My Mercy and is founded in the depths of My Mercies.

I desire that it be celebrated with great solemnity on the first Sunday after Easter ...."Whoever receives the Source of Life ( i.e. goes to Holy Communion and Confession) on this day will be granted complete forgiveness of sins and punishment."

Jesus said: "I desire that you know more profoundly the love that burns in my heart for souls, and you will understand this when you meditate upon My Passion. Call upon My Mercy on behalf of sinners; I desire their salvation. When you say this prayer, with a contrite heart and with faith on behalf of some sinner, I will give that soul the grace of conversion."


This is the prayer:


O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the heart of Jesus as a fount of mercy for us, I trust in You" To bring Jesus into the life of another person (name person), recite this in front of a picture of the Divine Image.


My vision is similar to Faustina but different because Mary the virgin came to me too with the lord but on some occassions she appeared by herself and with the angel Gabriel! I also had more visions:

Jesus said,"Write that when they say this Chaplet in the presence of the dying, I will stand between My Father and the dying person, not as the just judge but as the Merciful Saviour.

Heaven

I also was given visions of heaven and hell. Of heaven I said: "Today I was in heaven in spirit, and I saw its inconceivable beauties and the happiness that awaits us after death. I saw how all creatures give ceaseless praise and glory to God.

I saw how great is happiness in God, which spreads to all creatures making them happy; and then all the glory and praise which springs from this happiness returns to its source; and they enter into the depths of God, contemplating the inner life of God, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, whom they will never comprehend or fathom.

This source of happiness is unchanging in its essence, but is always new, gushing forth happiness for all creatures. Now I understand St Paul, who said "Eye has not seen, nor ear has heard, nor has it entered into the heart of man what God has prepared for those who love Him"

Hell

"Most of the souls there are those that disbelieved that there is a hell."

I was also shown hell: "Today I was led by an Angel to the chasms of hell. It is a place of great torture; how awesomely large and extensive it is! The kinds of torture I saw:

the first torture that constitutes hell is the loss of God;

the second torture is perpetual remorse of conscience;

the third is that one's condition will never change;

the fourth torture is the fire that will penetrate the soul without destroying it- a terrible suffering, since it is a purely spiritual fire, lit by God's anger;

the fifth torture is continual darkness and a terrible suffocating smell, and, despite the darkness, the devils and the souls of the damned see each other and all the evil, both others and their own;

the sixth torture is the constant company of satan;

the seventh torture is horrible despair, hatred of God, vile words, curses and blasphemies.

These are the tortures suffered by all the damned together, but that is not the end of the sufferings. There are special tortures destined for particular souls. These are torments of the senses. Each soul undergoes terrible and indescribable sufferings, related to the manner in which it has sinned. There are caverns and pits of torture where one form of agony differs from another. I would have died at the very sight of these tortures if the omnipotence of God had not supported me:

Let the sinner know that he will be tortured throughout all eternity, in those senses which he made use of to sin.

I am writing this at the command of God, so that no soul may find an excuse by saying there is no hell, or that nobody has ever been there, and so no one can say what it is like.

I, Jacqueline, by the order of God, have visited the abyss of hell so that I might tell souls about it and testify to its existence. "

These visions are real and not a fake. It isnt a game or nor am I just making these up Padraig! I am truely and really seeing these visions my doctors believe me too as well as my priests! I know I am a new Saint to be discovered. I know I am a mystic... I can feel it. I know that God is calling me to religious life. Not by the visions but by faith. I am called to be a religious nun! I am 22 years old and wise beyond my years... I encourage you to spread this testimony..

Do you believe that I am like another St. Terese of the little flower or Faustina?  

Answer
There was once a very pious and rich widow who lived in the city of Rome. She had a very widespread reputation for holiness on account of her great works of charity towards the poor.  When she died her cause for canonization seemed almost automatic, until, that is. it was discovered she had left her fortune to promote her cause for her own canonization.

No one can be a saint who is not humble.

No one can be humble who claims to be a saint.

You claim to be a saint.

Therefore......
