Vigils of Prayer
APPARITION OF THE VIRGIN MARY IN CARACAS, VENEZUELA, TO THE VISIONARY SISTER LUCÍA DE JESÚS

Sister Lucía de Jesús:

In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

At Mary's request, let us pray the Ave Luminosa prayer and accompany Her in Her flight throughout this city and throughout this nation, allowing Her Light to expand throughout this place. 

Prayer: Ave Luminosa.

Mary asks us to pray more fervently. Those who can, let us pray on our knees. 

 

My children, I want to build in your hearts the fortress in which My Son will dwell. I want your souls to be sources of Light in this world and that, through each one of you, the Light that exists in My Kingdom may reach the Earth.

At this time, you are learning to be peacemakers, you are strengthening your hearts and your spirits for a time that will come, a time when your consciousnesses will be like reflectors of Light in the midst of the darkness that will exist in the world. But today I tell you never to fear, because My Heart will always be by your side and, whenever you cry out, My Peace will come into your lives.

I want to build in each one of you the apostles of the new time, those who will carry the Word of Life, who will bear witness to the Presence of Christ in the world when His Feet touch the Earth once again.

My children, many will not believe in the Presence of the Messengers of God, but through the example of your hearts, you will convert lives, awaken souls and bring peace to the world.

I want you to know that a Star of My Heart is deposited in your essences today so that you feel you are under My Mantle, under My Celestial Protection, and thus strengthen yourselves in order to be able to strengthen others, who do not know the Light, who have not discovered forgiveness and peace. 

That is why I ask you to pray, to go deeper into My Presence and to prepare a path of Light for My Arrival tomorrow, because if you say yes to Me, My Consciousness will be able to act fully in this country and My Peace will be able to be established in this world, little by little.

I need the total surrender of your hearts, because the few who can say yes to God must say it with all their strength, with all their being and all their heart. In this way, it will be possible for My Presence to reach the world again and again and for My Peace to invade spirits and hearts.

On this day, My Heart smiles at you, so that your strength may be built through joy. May you never lose the joy of your hearts. If at any moment in your lives you encounter sadness, remember that this afternoon the Queen of Heaven and Earth radiates a smile at you so that you may eternally remember that joy must always prevail, because joy is a gift of your souls, it is a gift of this nation, which must fully convert to God.

I thank you always for praying with Me. I take your prayers in my hands and I will intercede before God for your souls and for this beloved nation.

Thank you.

 

Sister Lucía de Jesús:

At the Virgin Mary's request, we are going to give a short account of today's Apparition.

Mary's Presence was already reaching us from the last beads of our prayer. Like a ball of fire, like a Sun, She traveled through the whole city. 

And when we knelt down, when the portals opened up to this place, it was as if several Heavens, starting from the Universe, began to open up. First the angels descended, many hosts of Light; they sang, like infinite choirs; the number of angels could not be counted.

And at that moment, they signaled for us to approach the place where Mary was going to appear. She came to us like this Sun, until at certain point Her Silhouette of Light began to appear, and then we could see Her in every detail.

She came as the Queen of Peace, only today, in a different way. She was carrying a six-pointed golden star on her chest and Her Immaculate Heart was in the center of the star. This star was pulsating and radiating Light over us all. 

And the moment She asked us to pray the Ave Luminosa prayer, it was as if Her Consciousness somehow multiplied and, in omnipresence, She reached many places in Venezuela. We could see Her as many Silhouettes of Light and at the same time as She was here with us, She was reaching those places.

And when She said that a star from Her Heart would be deposited in our essence, very small six-pointed stars would come out of that six-pointed star and enter our essences. And it was interesting because, when they entered our essences, they went through our hearts and reached people who were connected to us.

We could see this on other planes; it's a bit difficult to explain, but it was as if behind each of us there were many people, a long queue, and this star was going through heart after heart, reaching an infinite number of people: from our families, those close to us and connected to us in some way.

Then, while the brothers and sisters in the choir sang the song of the Holy Spirit, She became a Sun again, which grew until it encompassed all of us. She left Her Presence imprinted on the images we have brought today and then rose to heaven, thanking us all.

And one thing I have remembered: at the beginning of the Apparition, it seemed that She was going to be silent, but She gave us some instructions and then spoke to everyone present:  

“Dear children, you are attending a school of pacification and strengthening. Count on Me to discover this school and to discover My Presence in the difficulties of life.”

And She invited us to strengthen ourselves, especially our brothers and sisters in Venezuela, in the face of the situations we are experiencing, and to feel that every event in our lives invites us to learn something different, that we can use it to mature, to grow in spirit and in conscience.

Thank you all very much.
