============================================================
The Divine Messages which is the Book the prophet Daniel was told to shut up and not publish. It is the scroll that Saint John the Apostle was told to eat which was sweet to the mouth but bitter to his stomach which he too was instructed not to write down. We are in the time of the end and just as Holy Scripture tells us, many simply do not have the eyes nor the ears to see or hear. Our Lord Jesus has established His Holy Remnant Army and has blessed us with Holy Divine Discernment, Perseverance, Knowledge, Understanding, Wisdom, Strength, Piety and so many more Divine Gifts in order that we lead and reach the four corners of this Earth with His Final Words to this world before the prophecised Warning, Miracle, 3 Days of Darkness and finally His Second Coming. As in the days that Jesus walked this earth, there are many modern day Pharisees who work against Jesus’s Final Mission and who slander and degrade His chosen Prophet of our time. Yes, there are many false prophets arising but with the Divine gift of Discernment that God Our Father through Jesus Christ has Blessed us with we are able to distinguish who are false. Maria Divine Mercy IS the Final Prophet. The man now seated on the Seat of Peter IS the prophecised False Prophet in the Book of Revelations and he is leading the global flock to damnation which is why this Holy Remnant Army WILL NEVER STOP fighting for the souls of our brothers and sisters. Everything happening in the world NOW has been told to us years ago by Jesus, by God Our Father and by the Blessed Mother. It’s like ticking off the boxes as we witness this all unfolding before our very eyes. Its’ alarming to say the least but we are indeed in the time of the end and we Trust Jesus and Follow ONLY Jesus for Jesus IS the Church. He is the Cornerstone and God Our Father is the Foundation.
As we witness Mr. Bergoglio the False Prophet Dismantling the Holy Catholic Church with the help of his cohorts who are within the walls of the Vatican and outside the walls of the Vatican, who are all Free Masons whose only goal is to destroy Christianity and the Catholic Church… we bleed in our hearts, we cry tears from our hearts that cover our souls, who we really are. But we stand firmly rooted in Jesus Christ and we fight for the preservation of the Catholic Church and the teachings of God Our Father and Jesus Christ in order to save souls. We were born into this particular generation for one reason and one reason only and that is to help Our Father in Heaven through Jesus Christ to SAVE SOULS. We will NEVER give up. We will NEVER follow the False Prophet. We will ALWAYS pray for our True and Only and Final Pope, Pope Benedict who was ousted by this demonic group within the Church through a very evil plan they devised on March 17, 2011 to get him out of their way so they could place the false prophet on the Seat of Peter who will in turn hand the Seat of Peter over to the literal son of satan, the Antichrist who is now being prepared to take the global stage. The False Prophet will lead millions to accept this beast. Our Father in Heaven does not want to lose even one but He knows He will. He has written Prayers and Litanies that we are praying daily, which is supplication to Him for the many sins in this world and for the Salvation of Souls. The Warning is a great gift from God, for without it very few will ever enter the Heavenly Kingdom. Jesus is clear that NO ONE, not even Him, knows the exact hour or date of the Warning or His Second Coming, that Only God Our Father knows this but we are to accept, understand and prepare because ALL of this is happening in OUR LIFETIMES. We are the chosen generation. For now the laity, the Holy Remnant are leading this mission with Jesus as our Commander in Chief… but Jesus is clear that Soon, His Sacred Servants, His Priests who will not betray Him, will take the lead. Until this happens which will probably be after the Warning.. we the laity, the Holy Remnant will continue on the front lines of this Holy War for souls and we fight with every fiber in us. We take the hits, the persecution, the slander, the accusations, the lies, the name calling and we carry the cross with dignity as Our Mother of Salvation has instructed us and we march forward to victory with Jesus, with as many souls in tow as possible.

November 8 2010-2017 7th Anniversary of the Mission of Salvation and the Book of Truth
The Book of Truth is mentioned in Daniel 10:21. This is where a mysterious Book of Truth is referred to. Gabriel explains to Daniel that everything that has been revealed to him about the future and the end times is to be found in the Book of Truth. Daniel is told to seal it up as it is to be left to another time called “The Time Of The End.”
The Book of Truth, in 5 volumes so far, has been given to the world at this time in history through Maria Divine Mercy from the Holy Trinity and Mary, Mother of Salvation. It is about the Mission of Salvation for all souls in preparation for what is known as The Warning/The Illumination of Conscience/The Great Mercy/The Great Confession and the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. The Book of Truth is meant for this present generation.
I know many of you find the idea of Pope Francis being the false prophet found in scripture to be too difficult to swallow. In fact, it’s probably the one fact that will turn you away from the messages given to Maria Divine Mercy. But is this prophecy out of the realm of possibilies when we compare it to other prophecies and scripture?
Let’s start back in 1139 when St. Malachy went to Rome and had his incredible vision of the next 112 popes. This prophecy was then given to Pope Innocent II. These short prophetical announcements, in number 112, indicate some noticeable trait of all future popes from Celestine II, who was elected in the year 1130, until the end of the world. They are enunciated under mystical titles. Those who have undertaken to interpret and explain these symbolical prophecies have succeeded in discovering some trait, allusion, point, or similitude in their application to the individual popes, either as to their country, their name, their coat of arms or insignia, their birth-place, their talent or learning, the title of their cardinalate, the dignities which they held etc. The final prophecy of a pope is as follows, “In the final persecution of the Holy Roman Church, there will sit Peter the Roman, who will pasture his sheep in many tribulations, and when these things are finished, the city of seven hills will be destroyed, and the dreadful judge will judge his people. The End”. The popes were numbered up to 111 (Pope BenedictXVI) and the last pope listed, Petrus Romanus did not have a number. Why would all the other popes have a number except the last pope? And why is the only connection people can find between Pope Francis and Petrus Romanus is that Pope Francis has Italian parents (no tie with Petrus to be found)? The MDM messages claim the St. Peter himself will rule through the tribulation and in the New Heaven and New Earth found in scripture. Although it may sound farfetched, there actually is scripture that can back this up. John 21: 15 When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter,* “Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?”* He said to him, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.” He said to him, “Feed my lambs.” 16He then said to him a second time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.” He said to him, “Tend my sheep.” 17He said to him the third time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” Peter was distressed that he had said to him a third time, “Do you love me?” and he said to him, “Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you.” [Jesus] said to him, “Feed my sheep.”
St. Francis tells us himself that there will be a false pope in the end times, and that very few will follow the true pope, “The devils will have unusual power, the immaculate purity of our Order, and of others, will be so much obscured that there will be very few Christians who will obey the true Sovereign Pontiff and the Roman Church with loyal hearts and perfect charity. At the time of this tribulation a man, not canonically elected, will be raised to the Pontificate, who, by his cunning, will endeavour to draw many into error and death.
We also see from the prophecy from Premol (5th century), that in the end there will be too two leaders of the Catholic faith, one true and one false, how often has that happened in our church? “ And I see the King of Rome and his Cross and his tiara, shaking the dust off of his shoes, and hastening his flight to other shores. Thy Church, O Lord, is torn apart by her own children. One camp is faithful to the fleeing Pontiff, the other is subject to the new government of Rome which has broken the tiara. But Almighty God will, in His mercy, put an end to this confusion and a new age will begin. Then, said the Spirit, this is the beginning of the End of Time”
This prophecy seems to link up interestingly with the vision St. Pope Pius X’s had 1914. St. Pope Pius X (whose name was Giuseppe or Joseph in English) was Pope in (1903-1914) prayed with Franciscan Friars and went into a trance. When he got out of it & he said; “I have seen one of my successors, of the same name, who was fleeing over the dead bodies of his brethren. He will take refuge in some hiding place; but after a brief respite, he will die a cruel death.” (There is no other Pope who is named Joseph, except Pope Benedict XVI, Joseph Ratzinger)
Pope Pius X’s prophecy seems to line up with the 3rd secret revealed in Fatima. “ a Bishop dressed in White,˜we had the impression that it was the Holy Father’. Other Bishops, Priests, men and women Religious going up a steep mountain, at the top of which there was a big Cross of rough-hewn trunks as of a cork-tree with the bark; before reaching there the Holy Father passed through a big city half in ruins and half trembling with halting step, afflicted with pain and sorrow, he prayed for the souls of the corpses he met on his way; having reached the top of the mountain, on his knees at the foot of the big Cross he was killed by a group of soldiers who fired bullets and arrows at him, and in the same way there died one after another the other Bishops, Priests, men and women Religious, and various lay people of different ranks and positions. Beneath the two arms of the Cross there were two Angels each with a crystal aspersorium in his hand, in which they gathered up the blood of the Martyrs and with it sprinkled the souls that were making their way to God.”
On May 11, 2010, while traveling on a plane to Portugal, Pope Benedict XVI was asked whether the Third Secret predicts the current clerical sexual abuse crisis in the Church, even though the text the Vatican released in 2000 says nothing of the crisis. The pope answered affirmatively, stating that “the sufferings of the Church come precisely from within the Church, from sins that exist in the Church.” Further, on May 13, 2010, before 500,000 pilgrims at Fatima, the Pope stated, “Whoever thinks that the prophetic mission of Fatima is over, is deceiving himself.” Pope Benedict XVI also said after becoming pope, “pray that I don’t flee for fear of the wolves.”
We see from Pope John Paul II that we are at the time of the battle between good and evil. “We are now standing in the face of the greatest historical confrontation humanity has gone through. I do not think that wide circles of American society or wide circles of the Christian community realize this fully. We are now facing the final confrontation between the Church and the anti-Church, of the Gospel versus the anti-Gospel.”
The Lord told Sister Agnes in her approved visions in Akita Japan in 1963 “The work of the devil will infiltrate even into the Church in such a way that one will see cardinals opposing cardinals, bishops against bishops. The priests who venerate me will be scorned and opposed by their confreres…churches and altars sacked; the Church will be full of those who accept compromises and the demon will press many priests and consecrated souls to leave the service of the Lord.”
Again from Pope Leo XIII in 1903 we hear that Satan will take over the chair of Peter “In the Holy Place itself, where has been set up the See of the most holy Peter and the Chair of Truth for the light of the world, they have raised the throne of their abominable impiety, with the iniquitous design that when the Pastor has been struck, the sheep may be scattered.”
We are warned from Venerable Fulton Sheen of a time when the pope speaks from Moscow (this is also found in the Garabandal messages that the pope will visit Moscow, then priests will need to go into hiding, then we will experience the Warning. “The pre-Communist Russian belief is that he will come disguised as the Great Humanitarian; he will talk peace, prosperity and plenty not as means to lead us to God, but as ends in themselves. . . .
. . . The third temptation in which Satan asked Christ to adore him and all the kingdoms of the world would be His, will become the temptation to have a new religion without a Cross, a liturgy without a world to come, a religion to destroy a religion, or a politics which is a religion–one that renders unto Caesar even the things that are God’s.
In the midst of all his seeming love for humanity and his glib talk of freedom and equality, he will have one great secret which he will tell to no one: he will not believe in God. Because his religion will be brotherhood without the fatherhood of God, he will deceive even the elect. He will set up a counter church which will be the ape of the Church, because he, the Devil, is the ape of God. It will have all the notes and characteristics of the Church, but in reverse and emptied of its divine content. It will be a mystical body of the Antichrist that will in all externals resemble the mystical body of Christ. . . .
. . . But the twentieth century will join the counter church because it claims to be infallible when its visible head speaks ex cathedra from Moscow on the subject of economics and politics, and as chief shepherd of world communism.”
And finally the Bible itself tells us when the False Prophet will arise. Revelation 17: 8 ”The beast that you saw existed once but now exists no longer. It will come up from the abyss and is headed for destruction. The inhabitants of the earth whose names have not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world shall be amazed when they see the beast, because it existed once but exists no longer, and yet it will come again. 9Here is a clue* for one who has wisdom. The seven heads represent seven hills upon which the woman sits. They also represent seven kings:f 10five have already fallen, one still lives, and the last has not yet come,* and when he comes he must remain only a short while. 11The beast* that existed once but exists no longer is an eighth king, but really belongs to the seven and is headed for destruction.”
Many have linked this passage of Revelation up with the Latern Treaty in 1929 when Italy gave the Vatican back some of it’s land and allowed it to rule over itself once again. Interesting to note that the one that “still lives” in this line up is the blessed Pope John Paul II who will be canonized a saint and the “last has yet to come, and when he comes he must remain only a short while.” Is Pope Benedict in this line up who stepped down early. This would Pope Francis as the 8th king, (who’s kingdom belongs to the 7th).
So with so many saints, popes and visionaries pointing to the fact that we will have a false pope in the end, and we will have 2 leaders in the Catholic church in the end, is it not wise to at least keep our eyes open to the possibility that Pope Francis could possibly be a false pope? Especially when we can link prophecy and scripture itself up to him?
WRITTEN BY A FRIEND
The Book of Truth Mission is just that the last Mission before The Warning and Second Coming ,given to Maria Divine Mercy to reveal to the World that Jesus Is Coming soon and to Prepare our Souls.
Fully agree and stand witness to the commentary within this post
I’ve been a witness to the mas0nic mechanations unfolding in Melbourne since 2003. Was 100% convinced I would see these days unfold since 2005. Gave witness to friends and colleagues as much as I could.
Over my journey I have come into direct contact with prelates that now head major city dioceses, spreading heresy leading up to their full awareness that a figure like Bergoglio would rise soon.
Since 2011 I have been more publicly active.
So fully agree with this letter and more. My commentary can be views on my Facebook page running since 2012.
Dear Father xxxxxxxx
As a 28 year lay member of the Marian Movement of Priests, I too follow our messages from Our Lady to Father Gobbi in the MMP. And for the life of me, I cannot understand how anyone can say with sincerity that the messages given to Maria Divine Mercy are not consistent with those given to Father Gobbi. The main details are identical.
1. The Third Secret of Fatima
2. The Great Apostasy
3. The Coming of the Antichrist
4. The Changing of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass (fulfilling the Book of Daniel)
5. The Warning
6. The Triumph of the Immaculate Heart
7. The Coming of a Great Third World War
8. The Chastisement
9. The Return of Jesus
Do we really think that God would not once again warn his people as these events come closer and closer.
We have to ask ourselves, how is it possible that a simple woman from Ireland could give so many precise details about events that she knows nothing about. By her own admission, she was a lapsed Catholic. She knew nothing about Sacred Scripture, La Salette, Fatima, Garabandal, The Warning, Saint Faustina, the Chastisement, the False Prophet, the Antichrist as well as many other details. How is it that the details she was given could be completely consistent with what we already know to be true? She had zero knowledge of them.
How could she possibly record a message given to her that indicates that Pope Benedict would be ousted and then exactly one year to the day later, Pope Benedict resigns.
My poor Holy vicar, Pope Benedict XVI, will be ousted from the Holy See in Rome.

Remember the Book of Daniel, which as shown in the email further below, Our Lady revealed to Father Gobbi in 1992 that the prophecies of Daniel would soon be fulfilled.
Daniel 9: 26-27
“After the sixty-two weeks an anointed one shall be cut down with
no one to help him. And the people of a leader who will come shall
destroy the city and the sanctuary. His end shall come in a flood;
until the end of the war, which is decreed, there will be desolation.
For one week he shall make a firm covenant with the many;
Half the week he shall abolish sacrifice and offering; In their place
shall be the desolating abomination until the ruin that is decreed is
poured out upon the desolator.”
I ask again, where are the inconsistencies?
Is it the case that Our Lord would want to us to pay close attention to the revelations given by His Blessed Mother to Father Gobbi and then ignore ones given to someone else that he chooses closer to the fulfillment of the events described to Father Gobbi?
I am at a loss to understand the silence of the MMP as the very events that were described to Father Gobbi are in the process of unfolding right before our eyes. Why the silence in the face of these unfolding events and why the hostility towards messages that reiterate many of the same details that were given to Father Gobbi.
All of what is shown below is not from Maria Divine Mercy, but mostly from the very locutions given to Father Gobbi by Our Blessed Mother.
The similarities are unmistakable.
Also not lost is the fact that the messages to Father Gobbi ended on December 31, 1997, just minutes before the clock turned to 1998. As revealed to Father Gobbi, 666+666+666=1998 the year and indicates the presence of the Antichrist. How can we see that and not believe that the Antichrist is now not only in the world, but very active?
God Bless.

Message #362, September 15, 1987, Akita, Japan
(Feast of Our Lady of Sorrows)
(Paragraph h) “I am weeping because the Church is continuing along
the road of division, of loss of the true faith, of apostasy and of errors
which are being spread more and more without anyone offering
opposition to them. Even now, that which I predicted at Fatima
and that which I have revealed here in the third message confided
to a little daughter of mine is in the process of being accomplished.
And so, even for the Church the moment of its great trial has come,
because the man of iniquity will establish himself within it and the
abomination of desolation will enter into the holy temple of God.”
Message #406, June 13, 1989, Como, Italy
(Anniversary of the Second Apparition at Fatima)
(Paragraph g) “The black beast like a leopard indicates Freemasonry;
the beast with the two horns like a lamb indicates Freemasonry
infiltrated into the interior of the Church, that is to say, ecclesiastical
Masonry, which has spread especially among the members of the
hierarchy. This Masonic infiltration, in the interior of the Church,
was already foretold to you by me at Fatima, when I announced to
you that Satan would enter in even to the summit of the Church.
If the task of Masonry is to lead souls to perdition, bringing them to
the worship of false divinities, the task of ecclesiastical Masonry on
the other hand is that of destroying Christ and his Church, building
a new idol, namely a false christ and a false church.”
(Paragraph l) “Thus errors are spread in every part of the
Catholic Church itself. Because of the spread of these errors, many
are moving away today from the true faith, bringing to fulfillment
the prophecy which was given to you by me at Fatima: ‘The times
will come when many will lose the true faith.’ The loss of faith is
apostasy. Ecclesiastical Masonry works, in a subtle and diabolical
way, to lead all into apostasy.”
Message #425, May 13, 1990, Fatima, Portugal
(Anniversary of the First Apparition at Fatima)
(Paragraphs g, h, i) “My third secret, which I revealed here to three
little children to whom I appeared and which up to the present has
not yet been revealed to you, will be made manifest to all by the very
occurrence of the events.
“The Church will know the hour of its greatest apostasy. The
man of iniquity will penetrate into its interior and will sit in the
very temple of God, while the little remnant which will remain
faithful will be subjected to the greatest trials and persecutions.
“Humanity will live through the moment of its greatest
chastisement and thus will be made ready to receive the Lord Jesus
who will return to you in glory.”
Message #489, March 15, 1993, Fatima, Portugal
(Paragraphs d, e, f ) “I have wanted you here, because you must
communicate to all that as of now – as of this year – you have entered
into the events which I foretold to you, and which are contained in
the third part of the secret, which has not yet been revealed to you.
This will now be made evident by the very events themselves which
are about to take place in the Church and in the world.
“My Church will be shaken by the violent wind of apostasy
and unbelief, as he who sets himself against Christ will enter into
its interior, thus bringing to fulfillment the horrible abomination
which has been prophesied to you in Holy Scripture.
“Humanity will know the bloody hour of its chastisement; it will
be stricken with the scourge of epidemics, of hunger and of fire; much
blood will be spilt upon your roads; war will spread everywhere,
bringing down upon the world incommensurable devastation.”
Message #485, December 31, 1992, Vicenza, Italy
(Paragraphs o, p)
“The fourth sign is the horrible sacrilege, perpetrated by him
who sets himself against Christ, that is, the Antichrist. He will
enter into the holy temple of God and will sit on his throne and have
himself adored as God.
“‘This one will oppose and exalt himself against everything that
men adore and call God. The lawless one will come by the power
of Satan, with all the force of false miracles and pretended wonders.
He will make use of every kind of wicked deception, in order to work
harm.’ (2Thes 2:4, 9-10)”
(Paragraph q)
“’One day, you will see in the holy place he who commits the
horrible sacrilege. The prophet Daniel spoke of this. Let the reader
seek to understand.’ (Mt 24:15)”
Paragraphs r, s)
“Beloved children, in order to understand in what this horrible
sacrilege consists, read what has been predicted by the prophet Daniel:
‘Go, Daniel; these words are to remain secret and sealed until the
end time. Many will be cleansed, made white and upright, but
the wicked will persist in doing wrong. Not one of the wicked will
understand these things, but the wise will comprehend.’
‘Now, from the moment that the daily Sacrifice is abolished and
the horrible abomination is set up, there shall be one thousand two
hundred and ninety days. Blessed is he who waits with patience
and attains one thousand three hundred and thirty five days.’ (Dn
12:9-12)”
Mark 13:14
“When you see the desolating abomination standing where he should
not (let the reader understand), then those in Judea must flee to the
mountains, [and] a person on a housetop must not go down or enter
to get anything out of his house, and a person in a field must not
return to get his cloak.”
Daniel 9:27
“For one week he shall make a firm covenant with the many; half
the week he shall abolish sacrifice and offering; in their place shall be
the desolating abomination until the ruin that is decreed is poured
out upon the desolator.”
Daniel 11:31
“Armed forces shall rise at his command and defile the sanctuary
stronghold, abolishing the daily sacrifice and setting up the desolating
abomination.”
(Paragraphs r, s)
“The Holy Mass is the daily Sacrifice, the pure oblation which
is offered to the Lord everywhere, from the rising of the sun to its
going down.
“The Sacrifice of the Mass renews that which was accomplished
by Jesus on Calvary. By accepting the Protestant doctrine, people
will hold that the Mass is not a sacrifice but only a sacred meal,
that is to say, a remembrance of that which Jesus did at his Last
Supper. And thus, the celebration of Holy Mass will be suppressed.
In this abolition of the daily Sacrifice consists the horrible sacrilege
accomplished by the Antichrist, which will last about three and a
half years, namely, one thousand two hundred and ninety days.”

The Warning is mentioned 4 times to Father Gobbi
(3 times of the four is given on the Feast of Pentecost and referred to as the Second Pentecost)
Message #383, May 22, 1988, Heede, Germany
(Feast of Pentecost)
(Paragraph d) “The Holy Spirit will come, to establish the glorious reign
of Christ, and it will be a reign of grace, of holiness, of love, of justice
and of peace. With his divine love, He will open the doors of hearts and
illuminate all consciences. Every person will see himself in the burning
fire of divine Truth. It will be like a judgment in miniature. And then
Jesus Christ will bring his glorious reign in the world.”
Message #478, October 2, 1992, Milan, Italy (Feast
of the Guardian Angels)
(Paragraph h) “What will come to pass is something so very great
that it will exceed anything that has taken place since the beginning
of the world. It will be like a judgment in miniature, and each one
will see his own life and all he has done in the very light of God.”
Message #521, May 22, 1994, Berlin, Germany
(Feast of Pentecost)
(Paragraph i) “A new fire will come down from Heaven and will
purify all humanity, which has again become pagan. It will be like
a judgment in miniature, and each one will see himself in the light
of the very truth of God.”
Message #546, June 4, 1995, Vacallo, Switzerland
(Feast of Pentecost)
(Paragraph g) “Tongues of fire will come down upon you all, my
poor children, so ensnared and seduced by Satan and by all the evil
spirits who, during these years, have attained their greatest triumph.
And thus, you will be illuminated by this divine light, and you will
see your own selves in the mirror of the truth and the holiness of
God. It will be like a judgment in miniature, which will open the
door of your heart to receive the great gift of divine mercy.
And then the Holy Spirit will work the new miracle of universal
transformation in the heart and the life of all: sinners will be
converted; the weak will find support; the sick will receive healing;
those far away will return to the house of the Father; those separated
and divided will attain full unity.
In this way, the miracle of the second Pentecost will take place. It
will come with the triumph of my Immaculate Heart in the world.”
The Warning is also mentioned to Saint Faustina
“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 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 Savior 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.”
The Coming of a Great Third World War
Message #219, January 1, 1981 (Solemnity of Mary,
Mother of God)
(Paragraph c) “As has been many times foreseen, a third world-wide
war, which will have the terrible capacity of destroying the greater
part of the human race, can take place, if men do not seriously
resolve to return to God.”
Message #441, January 1, 1991, Vicenza, Italy
(Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God)
(Paragraph h) “Satan has sung his victory because he has brought
sin into souls and division into families, into society, into nations
themselves and between nations. Thus peace has never been so
threatened as in your days. You are beginning this new year under
the grave threat of a conflict which could become the spark for the
outbreak of the terrible third world war.”
Message #486, January 1, 1993, Vicenza, Italy
(Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God)
(Paragraph t) “At the dawn of this new year, the threat of a terrible
third world war is becoming stronger and more worrisome. How
many people will have to suffer the scourge of hunger, of famine,
of discord, and of fratricidal struggles which will spill much blood
on your roads.”
Saint Faustina told about Pope John Paul II
“I bear a special love for Poland, and if she will be obedient to My will,
I will exalt her in might and holiness. From her will come forth the spark
that will prepare the world for My final coming” (Diary, 1732)
Pope Saint John Paul II has come and gone. How are we not in the time that approaches the return of Jesus?
What a well written article this is. I would love to be able to copy this article and hand it out to people to tell them what we believe and why. From the beginning they questioned our Lord’s mission of saving us as they question us now in our goal to save as many souls as we can. May the Holy Spirit and our Mother of Salvation continue to be with you and guide you to help the Remnant share our faith, remain strong and full of trust in our Lord. In this tough journey, what better gift then to achieve everlasting life for many souls along with our own. Thank you, and is this something I can share?
I Truly believed, that the messages given to Maria Divine Mercy are from God. I’m looking forward to a new messages, and an update of what’s happening in our Lord Jesus Christ Holy Church. 💒🙏
THERE IS GRAVE DANGER IN FOLLOWING THESE MESSAGES AND LEADING OTHER ASTRAY!!!!!!!!!!
It is not Theologically sound. Here is Dr. Mark Marivalle’s comments:
By Dr. Mark Miravalle
The following is a preliminary application of the norms for evaluating reported private revelations (established by the Congregation for the Doctrine of Faith, November, 1974) to the reported messages of the woman who refers to herself as “Maria Divine Mercy.” Having previously served on several theological commissions of investigation internationally for appropriate Church authorities, I will follow, in a succinct form, the same method of analysis and evaluation that is standard for an official Church investigation.
Let us therefore briefly examine the reported messages and relevant actions of “Maria Divine Mercy” in light of the Church’s foundational criteria for authenticity.
As the renowned French Mariologist, Fr. René Laurentin has aptly summarized, the norms for Church evaluation of a reported private revelation can be synthesized into the following three fundamental criteria:
Is the alleged message in conformity with the official faith and morals teaching of the Catholic Church?
Are the reported phenomena (state of ecstasy, manner of transmission of the message, etc.) consistent with the mystical tradition of the Church?
Does the reported message bring the Christian spiritual fruits that always accompany an authentically supernatural message, as indicated in the words of Jesus: “the tree is known by its fruits” (Mt. 12:33): greater conversion; spiritual peace; spiritual joy; new or renewed faith, trust, and charity; and greater fidelity to and union with the Church?
Unfortunately, the messages of Maria Divine Mercy, as well as the actions of the alleged seer, contain numerous and grave theological, historical and factual errors throughout the over 650 alleged messages—errors which contradict the doctrinal teachings of the Catholic Church, the mystical tradition of authentic Catholic private revelation, its own self-contained predictions, and the typical spiritual fruits of peace, charity, and joy that comes with a true heavenly message.
Just a few samples of these widespread and serious errors are as follows:
1. The assertion that Pope Benedict XVI was the “last true Pope on earth” and “the next Pope” will be the “False Prophet”
“My beloved Pope Benedict XVI is the last true Pope on earth…. The next Pope may be elected by members within the Catholic Church, but he will be the False Prophet” (April 12, 2012).
The message directly contradicts Catholic teaching as to the legitimacy of a validly elected Pope. The message implies that an “anti-pope” can come from a valid conclave, which constitutes a false or “heretical” position. The alleged message goes on to claim, by deduction, that Pope Francis is in fact the “False Prophet.” All of this is a reprehensible rejection of Catholic councils, catechisms, and canon law on the legitimacy of a validly elected Pope and the proper response of a “religious assent of mind and heart to the manifest mind of the pope, even when he is not speaking infallibly” (Second Vatican Council, Lumen Gentium, 25), which every member of the Catholic faithful is obliged to offer to the present Holy Father.
This erroneous message is extremely dangerous for any member of the Catholic Church, as it runs the risk of leading to formal “schism” or separation with the Catholic Church, which is the “refusal of submission to the Supreme Pontiff or of communion with the members of the Church subject to him” (Code of Canon Law [CIC] n. 751). A choice of schism for any Catholic tragically results in excommunication and the inability to receive the sacraments (see CIC 1364.1).
Not only does this erroneous message reject the true pontificate of Pope Francis, but it also rejects a proper respect of the pontificate of Pope Benedict XVI as well, as Pope Benedict vowed his submission to the next pontiff on the day of his voluntary resignation (not forced “ousting” as purported by the alleged message) on February 28, 2013, and also again vowed his unreserved obedience to Pope Francis before his very presence during their historic joint meeting on March 23, 2013.
2. A form of the heresy known as Millenarianism is present in several instances of the alleged messages
Millenarianism asserts that there will be a literal “1000 year” reign of Jesus on the earth (April 9, 2012 Message), during which time there would be no pope on earth, but rather a type spiritual papacy by which St. Peter will rule the Church from heaven over a type of “paradise on earth” (see Messages, 89, 124, 141; 88, 109, 111, 251, 258).
The Catholic Church has rightly condemned Millenarianism and the concept of a literal 1000 year period during which Jesus would reign over an earthly paradise (see Catechism of the Catholic Church, n. 676). The concept of a 1000 years of earthly existence without a visible pope on earth is in practical violation of the Petrine promise of Jesus (cf. Mt. 16:15-20), as well as being absolutely unsustainable from the sources of Divine Revelation. This alleged prophecy appears to be an extremist interpretation of various papal prophecies, rather than anything acceptable by a faithful Catholic.
3. Denial of the importance of Church evaluation of alleged message
The alleged messages reject the importance of the Church’s investigation and subsequent judgment of the authenticity of the alleged message, stating that the Church’s approval of the message is “not important”: “It is not important whether the Church authenticates these messages because time is not on their side” (July 9, 2011 message).
This perspective cannot be considered consistent with authentic Catholic private revelation, which always directs the true seer to submit their messages to the proper Church authority, even when Heaven knew that the messages would not be immediately accepted by the relevant Church authority on the first occasion of submission (as seen, for example, at Guadalupe with St. Juan Diego, and at Lourdes with St. Bernadette).
4. Alleged seer’s refusal to identify and present herself to local Church authority for appropriate Church theological, psychological and scientific evaluation, while at the same time internationally distributing alleged messages via the internet and printed texts.
Similar though distinct from the above category, the seer, while publicly distributing these alleged messages as true supernatural messages from heaven, refuses to submit herself and respond in obedience to her local Church authority for proper discernment of authenticity. The seer operates from the region of Dublin, Ireland, and therefore should have submitted her messages, as well as her person, for proper ecclesiastical examination by the Archdiocese of Dublin.
The refusal to the seer to submit herself obediently to legitimate Church authority for proper discernment eliminates the possibility to incorporate the second criteria for evaluating authenticity, i.e., the concurring phenomena that typically accompany a true supernatural communication. Jesus is the Light of the world and calls those in his service into the light. His Adversary, conversely, operates from the darkness.
5. Theological errors
For example, in stating that the Heavenly Father “comes in the name of Jesus” rather than Jesus, who comes in the name of the Father, or the Father coming in his own name. These assertions lead to confusion and are contrary to classic Trinitarian formulation. Moreover, statements which defend the “confusion” present in the messages by claiming, for example, that “love is confusing” (Message 45) are also antithetical to the character of authentic prophecy. Jesus speaks with a profound simplicity and clarity; Satan fosters confusion.
6. Unfulfilled dated prediction of the “Warning” to have happened within “a few months” after May 31, 2011.
The message of May 31, 2011 calls people to prepare for the “Warning” ( a God-granted “illumination of conscience,” the prediction of which is found in other Marian messages) which would take place “within a few months” from the May 31, 2011 date: “Prepare now for this event [the Warning] for you have only a few months left to prepare your souls” (May 31, 2011). The predicted event did not take place within a few months, or even a year, after the May 31, 2011 prediction.
7. Absence of the authentic Christian fruits of spiritual peace, joy, and trust, and charity; and, in their place, manifestations of greater fear, anxiety, and dominant negativity
Fear-producing tones of divine retribution, anger, justice, and, disaster are the principal themes placed into the alleged words of God the Father and Jesus. The alleged messages are replete with negative exhortatory rants of condemnation and judgment in words and expressions which gravely misrepresent the infinite mercy and love of the Father and of the Son. For example, alleged messages from Jesus stating “Those of you who say that you follow My Teachings, but who want laws changed to condone acts, which are sinful in My Eyes, get out of My Church now”; or the Heavenly Father alleging speaking about sending souls to Hell where they “will rip their eyes out” are not in a continuity with other authentic messages of Jesus and of God the Father.
Even when Jesus, God the Father, and Mary have had to convey messages which include strong statements of conditional upcoming chastisement and purification (which are present, for example, in the authentic messages of Divine Mercy and Fatima) these messages are always conveyed in the overall tone and context of peace, love, encouragement, and even joy. These appropriate spiritual characteristics and their corresponding fruits spiritual are substantially absent from the alleged messages, and also seemingly absent from a significant number of the proponents of the alleged message.
Conclusion
With such blatant theological and factual errors present in the alleged messages of “Maria Divine Mercy,” how and why can these alleged messages continue to have such an extended readership among many Catholics of good will, the majority of whom maintain a commitment of obedience to the Church’s Magisterium, as well as possessing a particular and true Marian devotion?
It is precisely because the alleged messages contain some elements which many readers can recognize to be true in evaluating the contemporary “signs of the times” (an evaluation called for by the Second Vatican Council, Gaudium et Spes, n.4): widespread crises of faith and morals within the Catholic Church and throughout global society; unprecedented global economic and social crises; ubiquitous geo-political conflicts in the Middle East and beyond; unprecedented natural disasters; proximate possibilities of nuclear weapon use in North Korea, Iran, Pakistan, etc.
To recognize and acknowledge the historic and challenging times in which we live is absolutely acceptable, and in my opinion, an honest and accurate assessment of the contemporary “signs of the times.” To accept an alleged message immersed in theological error and Church disobedience is a grave and dangerous error.
There is a substantial moral difference between acknowledging the serious global indicators which call the world to urgent conversion, and thereby to accept God’s infinite mercy by faithfully responding to the legitimate supernatural messages of Jesus and Mary to contemporary humanity, which understandably include divine “warnings,” both universal and individual; and, on the other hand, to accept and cooperate with a false message which usurps the authentic contemporary messages of Jesus and Mary, and consequently contaminates them with false directives towards disobedience to Pope Francis and legitimate Church authority, rejection of classic Catholic dogma and the precedence of the Church’s true mystical tradition, and encourages a fear and anxiety based response to the world’s present global situation.
The single greatest danger present in this false message, in my opinion, is the alleged justification for Catholics to place an individual false revelation over the God-given authority of the present Pope as the Vicar of Christ on earth.
Ironically, the alleged message predicts an upcoming schism in the Church. This could well become a self-fulfilling prophecy, a Satanic goal and strategy, which could result, in some part, from the following of extremely dangerous and materially schismatic messages such as those promulgated by “Maria Divine Mercy.”
It is realistic, in my opinion, during our contemporary experience of challenge and change presently being experienced in the Church and in the world, to expect even more false messages in the times to come—false messages intermixed with true content–which serve the diabolical goal to distract us from authentic Church authority and doctrine, and from Heaven’s authentic message for our age. This can only be countered and remedied by a renewed commitment of obedience to our Holy Father, Pope Francis, and to all legitimate Church authority.
Let us jointly and fervently pray for our beloved Holy Father, Pope Francis; for our holy Catholic Church; for the Triumph of Divine Mercy and the Immaculate Heart of Mary as found in authentic contemporary messages of Jesus and Mary; and for the peaceful conversion and reconciliation of the alleged seer and all her present supporters into the heart, obedience, and unity of the Church.
THERE IS GRAVE DANGER IN FOLLOWING THESE MESSAGES AND PASSING THEM ALONG TO OTHERS!!

More refuted facts:
How can a prophet of God make . . . errors?!
Geoff Heggadon
ERROR (1) There seems to be confusion as to whether the seer has been SENT or is CHOSEN. The introduction to the book (p…g 5) it is reported that Jesus has told her “she was the end time prophet and that she had NOT BEEN CHOSEN. She had been SENT as the 7th Messenger.” (She was also the “7th Angel” who would “announce to the world the contents of the seals in the book of Revelation”).
She claims to be an Angel!!!
Then in the first message (pg 10) Mon Nov 08 2010 Jesus says “you have BEEN CHOSEN to do this work”
Again in (pg 17) message Fri Nov 12 2012 Jesus says “you have BEEN CHOSEN to do this work for me”
So there is a contradiction here. In the introduction she has been sent and NOT CHOSEN but further in the book Jesus says she has been CHOSEN. (I don’t think Jesus would get confused as the whether He had sent an angel to earth or chosen a woman to do His work)
ERROR (2) She does not seem sure who Jesus is: (pg 21) Fri Nov 12 2010 Jesus says “If you follow this path where God, or I, Jesus Christ your Saviour,”
As you see above Jesus distinguishes Himself from God. “God, or I” Jesus is God!
Again (pg 65) Fri Nov 26 2010 Jesus says “with the love you show to Me, My Blessed Mother, Queen of the Heavens and the Blessed Trinity”
Again Jesus separates Himself from the Trinity
Again (pg 105) Tues Jan 11 2001 Jesus says “love, My children, will be shown to all of My followers and those of the Eternal Father….”
Jesus again separates Himself from the Father as though they have separate followers. This theme continues throughout the book.
About Mary Divine Mercy
Jesus gave a message to the Church thru St. John the Apostle. In listening to what ‘Maria’ is saying I find no parallel in the book of Revelation. Why would God give us a message over 2,000 years ago and then suddenly come up with another message that appears to run parallel with it but not touch on it at least in some small way!? God doesn’t change His message – doesn’t say one thing at one time and come back later, as if He changed His mind, and say something different. For example, she claims God has called her to be the ‘last prophet’ and yet, Revelations says there will be at least two last prophets – living at the same time as each other and both men. There are many other inconsistencies as well.

A finall note from a great mystic (and Doctor of the Church!)
“The desire for private revelations deprives faith of its purity, develops a dangerous curiosity that becomes a source of illusions, fills the mind with vain fancies, and often proves the want of humility, and of submission to Our Lord, Who, through His public revelation, has given all that is needed for salvation. We must suspect those apparitions that lack dignity or proper reserve, and above all, those that are ridiculous. This last characteristic is a mark of human or diabolical machination. Stay away from visions, apparitions, and miracles as much as you can. Be careful of visions, even when they are authentic.”
~St John of Cross, Doctor of the Church
“The simple fact is that most claimed revelations are false. It is extremely foolish, therefore, to devote oneself to propagating a disapproved or dubious message, which might actually come from the Father of Lies. If one day you see its falsity for yourself, you will regret it enormously, and be unable to undo the harm done to others. On the other hand, there are more than enough approved messages to spread, if you want to spread them. It is better to keep to what is countenanced by the Church, than to go it alone and risk being a dupe of the devil.”
Fr. Peter Joseph of Wagga Wagga, Australia, who has a doctorate in dogmatic theology from the Pontifical Gregorian University, Rome, and is currently the Chancellor of the Maronite Diocese of Australia
“[They must interpret the sacred Canon according to the traditions of the Universal Church and in keeping with the rules of Catholic doctrine, in which Catholic and Universal Church, moreover, they must follow universality, antiquity, consent. And if at any time a part opposes itself to the whole, novelty to antiquity, the dissent of one or a few who are in error to the consent of all or at all events of the great majority of Catholics, then they must prefer the soundness of the whole to the corruption of a part; in which same whole they must prefer the religion of antiquity to the profaneness of novelty; and in antiquity itself in like manner, to the temerity of one or of a very few they must prefer, first of all, the general decrees, if such there be, of a Universal Council, or if there be no such, then, what is next best, they must follow the consentient belief of many and great masters. Which rule having been faithfully, soberly, and scrupulously observed, we shall with little difficulty detect the noxious errors of heretics as they arise. (p. 70) from The Commonitory of St. Vincent of Lerins.
Here are some websites I found refuting Maria Divine Mercy worth looking into and spreading so that those who have been uninfirmed may be told the truth.

I had to post this one, it lists responses of refutations regarding Maria Divine Mercy’s messages – CLEAR WARNING FROM HEIRARCHY AROUND THE WORLD
Maria Divine Mercy, Schism! A Deception of Satan (With link to an audioinverview of the seer)
satan comes as a wolf in sheep’s clothing. To steal, kill and destroy. He will deceive the very elect.
UPDATED
The Maria Divine Mercy messages are fomenting SCHISM and they are a deception of Satan! The messages started in 2010, and I discovered them on the Internet early in 2012. Being unsure of the messages coupled with my love of the Holy Catholic Church, I began a long journey of discovery through prayer, reading and listening especially to clergy and theologians, and comparing messages to Catholic doctrine. The list below continues to grow as I have bullet pointed solid arguments against the truth of these messages below.
OFFICIAL WORD ON MARIA DIVINE MERCY BY THE ARCHBISHOP OF DUBLIN under whose jurisdiction Maria Divine Mercy resides:
The Archbishop of Dublin has spoken out that the MDM messages are to be avoided by Catholics. Her messages are officially condemned!
The statement:
STATEMENT OF ARCHDIOCESE OF DUBLIN
ON THE ALLEGED VISIONARY “MARIA DIVINE MERCY”
Requests for clarification have been coming to the Archdiocese of Dublin concerning the authenticity of alleged visions and messages received by a person who calls herself “Maria Divine Mercy” and who may live in the Archdiocese of Dublin.
Archbishop Diarmuid Martin wishes to state that these messages and alleged visions have no ecclesiastical approval and many of the texts are in contradiction with Catholic theology.
These messages should not be promoted or made use of within Catholic Church associations.

Opinions of other bishops, priests, and theologians:

Bishop Fabbro of the London diocese, (ON) Canada put out a warning against MDM in all local church bulletins. Here is the text:
“Bishop Fabbro has been asked concerning a meeting about Maria Divine Mercy which is to take place at a house in Corunna on August 15, 2013.”
“Maria of Divine Mercy is a woman who chooses to remain anonymous and has made claims of alleged privation revelations. Bishop Fabbro warns Catholics of the diocese that Maria of Divine Mercy has not received the Church’s approval. Indeed, Catholic bishops who have studied her teachings have declared that they are heretical and have forbidden priests to be involved with or cooperate in matters associated with Maria of Divine Mercy. Her prophecies contain material that is both false and contrary to Catholic teaching. The faithful should know that adhering to her teachings can result in grave sin.”
“Bishop Fabbro warns Catholics that they should not be involved with Maria of Divine Mercy nor should they give credence to her messages.”
Archbishop Jan Graubner of Olomouc, Czech Republic, warned that the consequences of messages can be ‘devilish’ and speculates that the person who writes the messages might be someone who ‘is very clever and evil, someone who wants to harm the Church.” Full text in Czech http://ow.ly/Hy32X
“On 13 December last, Bishop Anthony Fisher, of Parramatta, issued the following statement: “Many of you might have received email or other communications from a woman who goes by the name of ‘Maria Divine Mercy’.
Supposedly, she is a seer in receipt of private revelations from the Holy Trinity, Our Lord and the Blessed Virgin Mary. She runs a website called ‘The Warning’, the subject matter of which relates to the end of the world and Christ’s Second Coming.
“The messages and ‘revelations’ of Maria Divine Mercy contain theological positions that do not conform to the Catholic Church’s teachings, Scripture or Tradition. There are also historical errors. There is also a persistent animus towards various aspects of Church leadership, for example, the messages and ‘revelations’ regarding the supposedly illegitimate papal ministry of Pope Francis.
“Maria Divine Mercy’s messages enjoy no ecclesiastical support or approval. The faithful should not take seriously the messages of Maria Divine Mercy. No support should be given to the dissemination of these messages or ‘revelations’ or associated material in the diocese of Parramatta.” Source: The Catholic Weekly, Australia
Karl Keating, founder and President of the reputable organization, “Catholic Answers” says, “I have taken a look at the Maria Divine Mercy’s website, and it didn’t take but a minute to discover that this seer is fake and her messages contrary to the Church.” He adds, “You need to back away from this spurious seer–and pronto.” Read his opinion HERE: Catholic.com Blog
Dr. Mark Miravalle, Professor of Theology and Mariology at Franciscan University of Steubenville says, “Ironically, the alleged message predicts an upcoming schism in the Church. This could well become a self-fulfilling prophecy, a Satanic goal and strategy, which could result, in some part, from the following of extremely dangerous and materially schismatic messages such as those promulgated by ‘Maria Divine Mercy.'” Read his full analysis of the messages HERE: New Advent Blog
Jimmy Akin, journalist for the National Catholic Register, says of Maria Divine Mercy, “[Maria Divine Mercy] is an anonymous, unapproved seer whose prophecies contain material that is both demonstrably false and contrary to Catholic teaching regarding the future. Furthermore, to adhere to her prophecies can result in the grave sin and canonical crime of schism.” Read the rest of his opinion HERE: National Catholic Register
According to an article in the Irish magazine “Alive!”, Catholic priest Father Owen Gorman writes why this cannot be an apparition from God. Scroll down (pdf) to page 10: Alive! Magazine, March 2012 OR click on the image of the article at the bottom of this posting and magnify to read it. Thank you to “Anonymous” commenter for finding this article.
Father John Hogan OCDS has written an article warning against these messages, “I would ask all Catholics to stay clear of this woman and her ‘messages’. For one thing we cannot establish her credentials. When the Church examines the authenticity of any supernatural events or revelations she examines the alleged seers because their lives and integrity are part of the investigation.” Read the rest of his article HERE: Ex Umbris Et Imaginibus Blog
Father John Corrigan of Ballarat, Australia warns about Maria Divine Mercy HERE and a second article HERE
Father Angel Sotelo of the Diocese of Fresno states, “For the reasons listed…and not even counting the theological errors which are said to exist in her messages, they should in my opinion be dismissed and not given even the pious or human faith given to an approved private revelation.” He outlines his full opinion HERE and a second part HERE.
According to the Eternal Word Television Network, “The judgment that an alleged apparition has been shown to be not supernatural means it is either clearly not miraculous or lacks sufficient signs of the miraculous. Private revelation, for example, which is doctrinally dangerous or which manifests hostility to lawful authority could not come from God. It could even be demonic, especially if there are extraordinary signs accompanying it. The devil gladly mingles truth and lie to deceive the faithful, dazzling them with signs and wonders to give credence to his message. His purpose is to separate them from the Church, either by getting them to believe things contrary to the deposit of the faith or to act contemptuously of Church authority. An attitude of pride and judgment toward the Church is a clear sign of his presence.
According to Richard Salbato of Unity Publishing, “A sure sign of a demonically-inspired seer is their seeking self-profit, glory and power over GOD’s.” On her website, “Maria” is selling volumes of the messages. The second volume is set to come out and they are presently taking pre-orders. There is no bishop approval on these writings. Where is the money going? Richard Salbato has an excellent article on discerning the spirits. This is a good, long checklist by which all supposed apparitions can be measured: Testing The Spirit
OTHER DISCUSSION:
Without the approval of the Holy See, the handlers of the Maria Divine Mercy messages held “Book of Truth Seminars” to, in their words, “give a broad overview of what the messages are telling us about the direction of our Church and our world. help the establishment of centres of prayer and distribution, with a view to an even more important role in difficult times ahead.” They have done tours of Australia and the United States to spread their propaganda It appears the promoters are actively moving toward a SCHISM.
The compiled messages are claimed to be “The Book of Truth”, an addition to the Book of Revelations in Sacred Scripture. This is patently false! Catholics are to follow the Magisterium of the church which has as its source the completed, sealed Gospel and Sacred Tradition. Sacred Tradition is Catholic doctrine based on prayerful discernment of the Gospel by the Pope, cardinals, and bishops throughout generations ever since the founding of the Holy Catholic Church by Jesus Christ Himself. It is heresy to claim a private revelation can add to or complete Sacred Scripture. Maria Divine Mercy and her followers often refer to her book of false messages called, “The Book of Truth” as his Sacred Words, the Word or Scripture. This is heresy!
In an audio interview from 2011, the seer claims to have seen God the Father, and says she was surprised to see there were three beings because she didn’t know about the Blessed Trinity. How can this be, since nobody is allowed to be in the Beatific Vision (able to see God), unless their soul has been completely purified whether here on earth (a saint!) or through the fires of Purgatory. A person who isn’t even aware of the basic doctrine of Trinity certainly has not yet achieved saint status and therefore can NOT see God.
“Maria Divine Mercy” says these messages are URGENT. If they are urgent, she’d be anxious for her local Bishop to approve them. In her radio interview she claims her bishop “dismissed” the messages. Should this be enough for her not to promote them as she does?
Before the election of Pope Francis in the valid Conclave of Cardinals, Maria Divine Mercy’s messages referred to the next pope after Benedict as the coming “false prophet.” Before as well as after his election, he has also been also referred to as, “imposter,” “false prophet,” “evil” who infiltrated the church, the one who “stole the seat (sic) of Peter,” “abomination,” and worse. This is to cause Catholics to mistrust the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church, which is a sure sign that Satan is in the works. Now that Pope Francis is our Holy Father, MDM followers on social media sites like Facebook are going out of their way to find twisted and skewed articles about his words from less-than-trustworthy news sources to try and “prove” he is the false prophet. They have expressed a desire for his short pontificate and even for his death. For a Catholic to actively and persistently reject an acting Pontiff is to violate the Code of Canon Law # 751 which leads to automatic excommunication. An added note: Although the church has had her ups and downs, the Holy Catholic Church was instituted by Jesus Himself and He promised us, “The gates of hell shall not prevail against it!” The messages want people to break away from the Holy Catholic Church which is the fount of truth and light.
Here are actual Maria Divine Mercy messages from right after the election of Pope Francis in the valid Conclave of Cardinals. 3/13/13 “I have not appointed this person, who claims to come in My Name,” 3/14/13 “…the imposter, who sits on the throne in My Church on earth, does not come from Me,” “The time for the schism to be laid bare is close, and already, a terrible unease is being felt in Rome,” 3/15/13, “You must pray for all those who run the Catholic Church. Please include the man who sits in the Chair of Peter…Pray that he will accept the Truth of the death of my Son on the Cross,” (How insulting and brash that this message claims Pope Francis does not accept the death of Jesus!), “So infested are they, those who roam the corridors of Rome, that the biggest sign will be seen in the chaos, which will ensue, as they adhere to the command of the imposter,” 3/19/13, “Masonic sects infiltrate the Church in Rome. Make no mistake – there can only be one pope in one lifetime, “…soon, all will see the subtle acts and the sly gestures of those false imposters who preside over My Throne in Rome, for they amount to sacrilege,” 3/21/13 “The time for the division is soon and you must prepare.” -~-All of these messages are encouraging a schism. The targets for these messages appear to be traditional Catholics . There have already been traditionalist schisms in past decades since Vatican II, and Satan seems to be encouraging another one. Adding fuel to the fire is the mainstream media that has written articles based on bad translations of his homilies, and exaggerated comments that he has made, for example, claiming that Pope Francis said atheists are “saved,” which is a complete misunderstanding of what he actually said. (For those of you still curious, Pope Francis said that all mankind is REDEEMED, even atheists. Redemption does not mean salvation. They are different words with different meanings. Jesus did redeem all of mankind when He suffered and died on the cross. However, it is up to each and every one of us to work toward salvation by following the ways of Christ.)
The Maria Divine Mercy messages are rife with doctrinal errors, Scritpural contradictions, self-contradictions, and simply stated, bad grammar. An example of an error is the message on 3/22/13, the Friday before Holy Week, MDM followers were requested to fast all week, and END the fast at 3:30 on Good Friday, “My dearly beloved daughter, I desire that all of My followers conduct a time of fasting from next Monday until 15:30 hours (03:30 PM) on Good Friday.” However, our faith teaches that we are required to fast all day on Good Friday! Here, MDM has Catholics breaking their fast on the very day we commemorate and mourn Jesus’s suffering and death! Satan is laughing.
Would a visionary have to retract or revise a message? Thank you to a Miraculous Rosary Blog commenter who noticed this new MDM message retracting the previous fasting message, “please (sic) note that there was a typographical error in the message dated 22 March 2013 entitled ‘I desire that all of My Followers conduct a time of fasting from next Monday until 15.30 hours on Good Friday’ The last line should read ‘If you do not wish to endure this suffering, I will grant you great blessings and ask that you continue with Me on My journey to awaken the world from its slumber and so I can lift the veil of deceit which covers it.’ admin team” My blog commenter amusingly added, “I guess Jesus realized that he went too far this time.” I have seen MDM messages edited, changed, and even deleted. In one example, I distinctly remember reading “jesus” telling his followers to “hoard” food. Later, I went back to find that message to demonstrate why the messages are false, and the word “hoard” was gone. No approved seer in history has made mistakes in grammar or semantics. How could he or she? The messages come directly from heaven and are infused not only into the ears of the seer, but also the hearts and souls!
On the website you can download a paper certificate called, “Seal of the Living God” which promises God’s protection for your entire family from now up until Jesus comes again if you accept the seal by praying a particular prayer. The certificate was designed from a stock photo image of a seal by commercial artist who admits he had no divine inspiration when he created it. On a social media site, he even admitted to getting paid for it! God’s divine plan for the salvation of mankind through His Son Jesus Christ was clearly laid out in the Gospels. There are no “new” revelations. Second, it is explained quite clearly in the Catechism of the Catholic Church that the “Seal” being referred to in Sacred Scripture is the seal of our BAPTISM! This is a seal that can’t smear if it gets wet, blow away in the wind, or get lost on a messy desk. Once Catholics are baptised, our souls carry the indelible Seal of God forever.
In her 2011 audio interview, she called 2011 the year of purification, and said that the chastisement would come in about a year. Right now it is February, 2013 and we haven’t even had the “Warning” yet, which is supposed to come before the “Chastisement”. This inaccuracy alone proves false the messages. Plus, Our Lord and Our Holy Mother have never, in any approved apparition, set a date for a future apocalyptic event.
Early in the messages, “Maria Divine Mercy” claims she was being awakened by God at 3 a.m. In her own words, she asked him not to wake her up at 3 anymore. Nobody who has the privilege of being in the presence of God, Jesus, or Mary would desire or even DARE to change heaven’s schedule! Nor would he or she want to!
Maria Divine Mercy states that she felt tired and drained after the apparitions. The only ones who claim to feel “drained” are occult mediums after they perform “healings” or communications with the “spirit world.”
At the time of her apparitions, she says she was a lapsed Catholic, bordering on agnostic. She was a very busy career woman who had no time for God. In her words, a “high flyer.” I understand that God can chose whoever He wants, but Jesus warned us that Satan will deceive even the elect. Many great saints lived in fear of being deceived by Satan. Bernadette Soubirous of Lourdes wasn’t sure if the apparition of Mary was a deception, and she threw holy water at her to make sure! Satan appeared to other saints looking exactly like Jesus, and each had their own way of discerning the deception. If these holy people couldn’t always tell the difference, then how in the world does a lapsed Catholic, agnostic, who wasn’t even aware of the Holy Trinity “know” this is really Jesus speaking and not just Satan in disguise?
In the messages, there is a constant current of Jesus and Mary complaining about the messages not being believed by people. Did Mary complain when the Bishop of Lourdes didn’t believe Bernadette? Did she complain when the Bishop of Fatima didn’t believe Lucia, Jacinta, and Francisco? No. She encouraged their obedience to the church, even if it meant they weren’t allowed to come out to the apparition sites during her planned visits. God is always in control.
2011 audio interview of “Maria Divine Mercy”. Thank you to my sister-in-law for finding this: Radio Interview with “seer” Maria Divine Mercy
Update: MDM’s radio interview transcribed into writing; read while you listen
There are many references from approved seers throughout history about being cautious of anything that attempts to make Catholics turn away from the Catholic Church. For example, here are the words of the amazing seer Hildegard regarding the Minor Chastisement, “After the birth of Antichrist heretics will preach their false doctrines undisturbed, resulting in Christians having doubts about their holy Catholic faith…at that period when antichrist shall be born, there will be many wars and right order shall be destroyed on earth. Heresy will be rampant and the heretics will preach their errors openly without restraint. Even among Christians doubt and scepticism will be entertained concerning the beliefs of Catholicism.”
Jesus warned us that in these days there would be numerous false prophets, some so clever as to deceive even the elect. One thing is certain, it doesn’t hurt us to ignore private revelations altogether, and instead immerse ourselves in the truth of the Gospel and the rich teachings of the Church. If we follow the blueprint Jesus laid out for us before He ascended into heaven, we have no need of further “revelations”.
We should try not to chase butterflies in the tangled forest while neglecting the beautiful ones we already have in our own gardens! And while you’re there….Plant a rosary every day!
Stop chasing apparitions and embrace the profundity of the mundane!

Updates:
Important update, May 12, 2013: The MDM fake message writers saw the post above and put out a new message TODAY but dated May 10 that begins, “Those who have not been given My Holy Word, including those countries where I Am condemned, are the first souls I must reach out to. Through no fault of their own, they have been reared from birth to deny God, the Maker and Creator of all that is. I will strive to convert them through this Mission and promise that once they are shown the Truth, during The Warning, that they will be drawn into My Mercy quickly. I will never forsake those who have been deceived, through false doctrines, for they are helpless and are in need of My Love and Mercy.” ~~~Here is their big mistake, and PROOF their messages are being written by PEOPLE trying to start a new schism church: THE LETTER FROM THE SLOVAKIAN BISHOPS IS DATED FROM NOVEMBER, 2012 – A FULL SIX MONTHS AGO! Why didn’t the “message from jesus” come out back in November or December? Instead, their message “coincidentally” comes out on the third day after my May 9th update and other postings (on this blog and Facebook page “Maria Divine Mercy – True or False”) that presented the Letter of Condemnation of the MDM movement by the Conference of Slovakian Bishops. RUN from this false movement! They are also trying to indoctrinate children with a youth group Facebook page. In addition, they are calling out for people in the U.S. to volunteer as leaders to start prayer groups in their areas. Please be aware to tell your parish priests and bishops to NOT allow this false movement to grow!
I would like to thank Mrs. Lisa Abrusia for weighing in on this subject of the private revelations of Maria Divine Mercy that our good family friends of Mrs. Renee Szablewski & family have been sharing and vociferously promoting. Mrs. Abrusia, herself a traditional Catholic, holding a theology degree, a fellow catechism teacher, and a former novitiate of the 2nd order of the Franciscans of the Immacualata with all the charisms of the slavery consecration to our Lady.
I would preface my remarks with #1 – I posted the sharings with the disclaimer that these views are not necessarily shared or accepted by the family and authors of this site. #2 I posted the sharing /info on Maria DM for two reasons , out of respect for Mrs. Szablewski , our families friendship’ and also her knowledge of natural health, integrated natural medicine with traditional Catholic spirituality to be of a superb nature
With that being said I would like respond with the following. After taking another look at Maria DM prophesies and private revelations at the behest of friends and fellow parishioners. I find them to be extremely problematic for several reasons but the main two cautionary items I would point out are as follows. The prayer spirituality of the private revelation is the reform of another private revelation which is Divine Mercy. Divine Mercy, in my view and the views of many traditional Catholic theologians is the lynch pin of novus ordo theology , which itself is evangelical Lutheranism in disquise and appears so new and fresh to Catholics because they’ve never encoungered it before , mainly because it is not Catholic.
It’s not the Chaplet prayers or devotion to the image so much which can be efficacious but the teachings of Sister Faustina which were banned and sanctioned by three Popes prior to John Paul II
We have discussed that problematic theology here on several occasions located here-> Refutation Of Divine Mercy Part #2 – On The Eve Of The Solemnity Of The Sacred Heart Of Jesus | TCE https://traditionalcatholicsemerge.com/2018/06/07/refutation-of-divine-mercy-part-2-on-the-eve-of-the-solemnity-of-the-sacred-heart-of-jesus/ and here -> Disposition On Divine Mercy vs. Traditional Catholic’s Divine Justice & The Source Of The Changing Teachings | TCE | https://traditionalcatholicsemerge.com/2017/02/24/disposition-on-divine-mercy-vs-traditional-catholics-divine-justice-the-source-of-the-changing-teachings/
Secondly Maria DM promotes sedevaticanism – We all know we have a bad Pope on the throne of Peter , proclaiming heterodox and sometime heretical teachings on a regular basis , but sedevaticanism is never the answer and puts us outside the Church. The Catholic Church can only be reformed back to tradition from within never from without. People that develop a sedevaticanism position without repentance receive Holy Communion unworthily , which Scripture tells us will bring ruin to ourselves and families
Lastly one of the most respected traditional Marian theologians in the business today, a theologian we have all read extensively and followed , Mrs. Abrusia is sharing he condemnation of Maria DM and therefore we should also seriously consider doing same for ourselves and our families in the focus on authentic Roman Catholic reform back to sacred tradition in all its forms
Salve Maria
Mark & family
