- Our Lady: "My beloved sons. Thank you for your presence here: not withstanding it is so hot, you are here to pray and give joy to my son Jesus and to Me.
Your presence here helps Me to understand that you are trying to love Jesus the Eucharist. Today I haven't brought the Eucharist because I don't want you to become accustomed always to receiving everything, just as your sister said to some of you.
Not all of you have understood and felt the absence of Jesus the Eucharist: you have to love Him because He is the miracle of every day. Every day when the priest celebrates the mass, Jesus is present with His Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity and He is waiting for your hearts.
Once I said: "How many times do you eat a day?". Receive every day my son Jesus if you can do it without causing troubles in your family and without any disunion: nobody can forbid you to receive the Eucharist every day. You will feel more strength and courage in your heart, to accept the little crosses of every day.
God is sending Me among you even if you aren't seeing Me: it is only important that I am seeing you and that I am reading in your hearts the anxieties, the troubles and the doubts, they are also part of a day, but you have to overcome everything and you will be able to do it by means of Jesus the Eucharist. My beloved sons, this miracle is repeating itself every day, but men don't believe and they are only running toward power and ease.
Oh, you can't imagine how many times I have been hearing people blaspheme my son Jesus and I: I have especially been hearing young people blaspheme Jesus and I, because they were not educated. There are no educators, beginning with priests, parents and schools. Who is educating the young people to walk and to understand the importance of living in a state of grace, the importance of staying together with Jesus everywhere, even when they have a good time or they are going in for a sport? And now my beloved sons, a short pause: those of you who are tired, let them stand up without fear, because my son Jesus and I aren't offended, but those of you who can kneel down, let them do penance in atonement for all those curses which are said every day.
I am with you also during the day, but do you wish for my presence? I am always bringing you the joys necessary to give you the strength to accept sufferings. While you are on this planet Earth you have sufferings of earthly life, but not great sufferings.
How many times I have been hearing: "God doesn't help, God does nothing...". Oh! How could you understand what God is doing or not doing? You will feel it in your heart. But I like to repeat that there is much suffering on the Earth. Don't believe those people who say they don't suffer and enjoy life: since Adam and Eve's sin there always have been great and little sufferings. You have to accept them by means of your prayers, of Jesus the Eucharist, of the love for the Mother of Jesus the Eucharist and for your neighbour.
Educate your sons and your nephews to love Jesus, let them understand that also a little lie can offend Jesus. Don't let anything pass, when a child is not sincere, immediately attract his attention and let him change, otherwise when he is a grown up, everything will be more difficult.
I like to see here so many grown ups and see them praying: I also see and read their hearts, because never forget that I am Jesus' Mother. God chose Me and I accepted, I said: "Yes!" to God, to My All, because God is My All and God should be the same for you too and for those people who have a family, because they could receive everything from God.
My beloved sons, the Mother yet invites you to pray for the priests and especially for those priests who have power, pray so that they can love the little priests who can't do anything, but who have so much love for Jesus and for souls.
With the priest I bless you and your dear ones, I kiss the children, I bless the water you have brought here with so much love and I bless your sacred articles. I bring you all into my heart and I cover you with my maternal mantle. Together with the Holy Child, Who is blessing all the children, go in the peace of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. Praise be Jesus Christ ".

- Our Lady: " My beloved sons, thank you for your presence here. Today it is a great feast in Paradise and I wish you to celebrate this feast, through what the day affords to you: prayer and love for your brothers. I love you, my beloved sons, I love the grown ups, the elderly people and the children: around Me there are so many souls of children and they are saved or sainted children. There are also many other saved souls who are waiting to come into Paradise and many Saints and Popes who you knew, Marisa: you are noticing how beautiful they all are, because their soul is saintly and beautiful.
You are busying yourselves too much for earthly things, but you should busy yourselves much more for God's things: learn how to play Mary's role, together with Martha's role and not only Martha's role. I played Mary and Martha's roles, I attended to my spouse Joseph for eight years of his sickness, I brought up the child Jesus and sometimes I was helped by the Angels, but sometimes you too, Marisa and you, Don Claudio, were helped by the Angels. And sometimes I remained alone, I hadn't friends or relatives, except for my cousin Elizabeth and for Zacharias, who died very soon after St. John the Baptist's birth. I fought alone and I knew that my son Jesus would die on the cross for everybody, I suffered in silence, but I rejoiced too, because I knew that He would open again the doors of Paradise for all the men of the Earth.
How many times I said to you that you are busying yourselves too much with earthly things: you should run and busy yourselves as much as possible for God's things. God is love, harmony and grace, He is All and you, his sons, should imitate God and become similar to God, but not so much, please.
Try to love each other and today too I repeat, because I am repeating the messages especially when new people are present: "Learn how to love, then pray". I beg you not to be only busy in playing Martha's role, but play also Mary's role.
Follow the priest, who is loving you one by one: he wants you to become saints, but you have to help him too to become a saint. So each of you should help his own priest to become a saint and the priest, at the same time, will help you to become a saint. Oh, what a beautiful fusion, what a beautiful union: of everybody to holiness!
Now your sister is seeing so many saved and sainted souls and also the souls of your dear ones who died. These are truely souls who fought to be saved and they are not graduates or learned men, they are just simple creatures, who tried to love God how they liked and now they are saved".
- Marisa: " What can we do for them?".
- Our Lady: "To pray: am I maybe asking you for great things? I am always asking you to pray, to pray for peace in the world, above all to pray for peace in Italy, your beautiful Italy, pray, wrench all this grace from God and then you will notice how things will become quiet and how God will intervene to help you and all the Italians.
Celebrate my name and my Assumption into Heaven, because I died just like each creature, but at once, in an instant, I was transfigured and then the Angels brought Me into Heaven: so I became the Queen of Heaven and Earth, without a crown, a simple queen without a crown, just like you see Me in your simple statues, just a veil over my head without a crown. With the priests I bless you and your dear ones, your sacred articles, I kiss the children, I bring you all inside my heart and I cover you with my maternal mantle. Go in the peace of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit, together with your guardian Angel. Praise be Jesus Christ ".

- Our Lady: " My beloved sons, thank you for your presence here and for the sacrifice made by some of you to come as far as this place, to pray together with your brothers: thank you if you are truly loving each other, just as Jesus wants and for this reason the Mother is frequently repeating Jesus' sentence "Learn how to love, then pray". It is easy to love friendy or nice people, on the contrary it is difficult to love people who are giving rise to your suffering. But God wants you first to learn how to love and then pray: pray how much you like, how and when you like, kneeling down, being seated or resting, but only if you are united with my son Jesus.
In a meassage I said: "Don't look at the Mother, at your Mother of the Heaven, don't look at the Saints, because the Mother wants you to go to Jesus and to Jesus the Eucharist, the Bread of Heaven, Who gives you strength and courage to go on, notwithstanding all the difficuties of this planet Earth".
Those of you who need help and grace, let them go to Jesus the Eucharist, receive Him in a state of grace and don't worry about what you will eat or dress, keep God in mind, always put God in the first place and you will get rest. If you don't put God in the first place, your life becomes very difficult: put God in the first place and love Jesus the Eucharist.
God said that there are so many names given to Me, but the greatest and the most important name, the name which closes the history, is "Mother of the Eucharist", the Mother of Jesus, the Mother of Jesus the Eucharist.
When you are receiving Jesus the Eucharist in your heart, in a state of grace, when you are speaking to Him and when He is coming into your hearts, it is already a spot of Paradise: you have to speak to Jesus and ask Him everything you need and you will feel the answer in your heart. Why not? Jesus can answer in so many ways, He can answer your needs, your love. God is love, God is All and for this reason when I was speaking about God, I said "My All", because He was giving Me everything.
Live in a state of grace and if you need to confess, there are priests for this purpose. They should give all of themselves to souls and help souls: each priest is a victim, so he should let souls come to himself when they need to truely convert their heart, to be in a state of grace and receive Jesus in a state of grace.
Cheer up, my beloved sons, the Mother is with you, I said the Rosary with you and now I have given you God's message: you have not only to listen to it, but also try to put it into practice, meditate and love it, learn how to love, then pray.
I am not asking you for great prayers, those who get tired, they can only cast a glance to God, smile at God, saying: "Hi, I also am on the Earth, my God I love you". You often should repeat these prayers: "My God, remember me, I am here in this spot of the Earth which you created, I love you my God, I love you much".
And now the Mother kisses all the children present here. Jesus said: "Let the children come to Me: if you don't become as little as a child, you won't enter the Kingdom of Heaven" and you want to enter the Kingdom of Heaven, don't you? So you all have to cling to my mantle, to reach Paradise and enjoy God for ever: cling without fear. In a message I said that my mantle doesn't tear, so you can cling: I also said to live the Holy Mass, just as if it were the last in your life and to receive Jesus in a state of grace, just like if it were the last time you receive Jesus the Eucharist. Love the Mother of the Eucharist.
With the priest I bless you and your dear ones, your sacred articles and I kiss the children again. I bring you all inside my heart and I cover you with my maternal mantle. Go in the peace of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. Praise be Jesus Christ ".

- Our Lady: " My beloved sons, the Mother invites you all to keep deep silence and to ask God for those graces you need. Ask for them if they are according to God's will.
You are not seeing Me, but I am seeing you in the depth of your hearts and I know your anxieties and troubles: collect your thoughts, ask, knock and you'll be granted if it is God's will.
My beloved sons, thank you for your presence here and for the love you are trying to have for my son Jesus: you have just tasted the Eucharist, the bread descended from Heaven. God told Me: "Mary, go and take the Eucharist from the Tabernacle, bring It into that house to help my sons to accept all the sufferings continually caused by man". So I went to the Tabernacle, I took the Hosts and I brought Them here. You are right, Marisa, I should have brought more to give Them to all of you, but I did what God the Father told Me.
Those of you who haven't received Jesus with His Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity, but they wished to receive Him, don't worry, because Jesus has come into your hearts too, if they are clean and in a state of grace. Jesus has come in behind closed doors, He keeps on coming in behind closed doors: if somebody is in a state of grace, Jesus comes into his heart and you just have always to accept Him.
Sometimes sufferings of life are great and you are thinking that Jesus isn't coming to your assistance or that He isn't giving you the strength to accept and to bear them. How many times I heard you saying: "Why did God do this?", but you should say: "Why is man giving rise to our sufferings?", or: "Why are so many men of the Church or so many catholic politicians giving rise to our sufferings, when they know they do this?". So the Mother invites you to pray for them and now keep in your mind also those creatures who are around you. You asked for yourselves and now ask for the creatures around you, for your friends and relatives: pray also for those people, pay attention for those people who are giving rise to your sufferings, pray also for them, because God is merciful up to the end, but then He will be just for everybody.
God's mercy is great. In a message I said: "Death is life", yes, my beloved sons, death gives you life, the eternal life, life for ever with God and with all your dear ones. For this reason I brought here, together with Me, some saved souls who loved Jesus through the sufferings and the difficulties of life.
Jesus isn't concerned if you are muttering, if you are depressed or if you are grieving: no, Jesus understands because He is a man too, so He can understand. Jesus understands man, but man can't understand.
My child, when for some time you came with Me into Paradise, you saw how beautiful it is and how people enjoy it: there is peace, serenity and love. You have to invite all the men of the Earth to pray so that everybody can enjoy God in Paradise.
My beloved sons, live in a state of grace, receive Jesus the Eucharist in a state of grace and your joy will be for ever. Earthly life goes by, it is a journey for everybody, either great or little men, either good or bad men, death too is for everybody, but eternal life will never end and you will enjoy for ever. Cling to my mantle, just as I said in a message, cling to my mantle, because it doesn't tear, so you must not fear: I bring you into Paradise and you want to come with Me, don't you? But don't worry, because I am not taking you now!
My beloved sons, the Mother invites you always to pray, also through the sufferings and the difficuties of life, never abandon prayer: when everything seems to collapse, open your arms with Me, look at the Heaven and shout the Paternoster.
Love the priest, who is teaching you how to know Jesus, pray for the priest who is following Jesus' path, which is bristling and thorny, help him by means of your prayers.
Thank you if you put into practice what the Mother told you and remember that I am God's servant and your servant.
With the priest I bless you, your dear ones and your sacred articles, I kiss all the children and the sick people. I bring you all inside my heart and I cover you with my maternal mantle. Go in the peace of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. Praise be Jesus Christ ".
