JANUARY 25, 1998 "Dear
children! Today again I call all of you to prayer. Only with prayer, dear children, will
your heart change, become better, and be more sensitive to the Word of God. Little
children, do not permit Satan to pull you apart and to do with you what he wants. I call
you to be responsible and determined and to consecrate each day to God in prayer. May Holy
Mass, little children, not be a habit for you, but life. By living Holy Mass each day, you
will feel the need for holiness and you will grow in holiness. I am close to you and
intercede before God for each of you, so that He may give you strength to change your
heart. Thank you for having responded to my call."
FEBRUARY
25, 1998 "Dear children! Also today I am with you and I, again, call all of you
to come closer to me through your prayers. In a special way, I call you to renunciation in
this time of grace. Little children, meditate on and live, through your little sacrifices,
the passion and death of Jesus for each of you. Only if you come closer to Jesus will you
comprehend the immeasurable love He has for each of you. Through prayer and your
renunciation you will become more open to the gift of faith and love towards the Church
and the people who are around you. I love you and bless you. Thank you for having
responded to my call."
MARCH 25,
1998 "Dear children! Also today I call you to fasting and renunciation. Little
children, renounce that which hinders you from being closer to Jesus. In a special way I
call you: Pray, because only through prayer will you be able to overcome your will and
discover the will of God even in the smallest things. By your daily life, little children,
you will become an example and witness that you live for Jesus or against Him and His
will. Little children, I desire that you become apostles of love. By loving, little
children, it will be recognized that you are mine. Thank you for having responded to my
call."
APRIL 25, 1998 "Dear children!
Today I call you, through prayer, to open yourselves to God as a flower opens itself to
the rays of the morning sun. Little children, do not be afraid. I am with you and I
intercede before God for each of you so that your heart receives the gift of conversion.
Only in this way, little children, will you comprehend the importance of grace in these
times and God will become nearer to you. Thank you for having responded to my call."
MAY 25, 1998 "Dear children!
Today I call you, through prayer and sacrifice, to prepare yourselves for the coming of
the Holy Spirit. Little children, this is a time of grace and so, again, I call you to
decide for God the Creator. Allow Him to transform and change you. May your heart be
prepared to listen to, and live, everything which the Holy Spirit has in His plan for each
of you. Little children, allow the Holy Spirit to lead you on the way of truth and
salvation towards eternal life. Thank you for having responded to my call."
JUNE 25, 1998 "Dear children!
Today I desire to thank you for living my messages. I bless you all with my motherly
blessing and I bring you all before my Son Jesus. Thank you for having responded to my
call."
JULY 25,
1998 "Dear children! Today, little children, I invite you, through prayer, to be
with Jesus, so that through a personal experience of prayer you may be able to discover
the beauty of God's creatures. You cannot speak or witness about prayer, if you do not
pray. That is why, little children, in the silence of the heart, remain with Jesus, so
that He may change and transform you with His love. This, little children, is a time of
grace for you. Make good use of it for your personal conversion, because when you have
God, you have everything. Thank you for having responded to my call."
AUGUST 25, 1998 "Dear children!
Today I invite you to come still closer to me through prayer. Little children, I am your
mother, I love you and I desire that each of you be saved and thus be with me in Heaven.
That is why, little children, pray, pray, pray until your life becomes prayer. Thank you
for having responded to my call."
SEPTEMBER 25, 1998 "Dear
children! Today, I call you to become my witnesses by living the faith of your fathers.
Little children, you seek signs and messages and do not see that, with every morning
sunrise, God calls you to convert and to return to the way of truth and salvation. You
speak much, little children, but you work little on your conversion. That is why, convert
and start to live my messages, not with your words but with your life. In this way, little
children, you will have the strength to decide for the true conversion of the heart. Thank
you for having responded to my call."
OCTOBER 25, 1998 "Dear
children! Today I call you to come closer to my Immaculate Heart. I call you to renew in
your families the fervor of the first days when I called you to fasting, prayer and
conversion. Little children, you accepted my messages with open hearts, although you did
not know what prayer was. Today, I call you to open yourselves completely to me so that I
may transform you and lead you to the heart of my son Jesus, so that He can fill you with
His love. Only in this way, little children, will you find true peace - the peace that
only God gives you. Thank you for having responded to my call."
NOVEMBER
25, 1998 "Dear children! Today I call you to prepare yourselves for the coming of
Jesus. In a special way, prepare your hearts. May holy Confession be the first act of
conversion for you and then, dear children, decide for holiness. May your conversion and
decision for holiness begin today and not tomorrow. Little children, I call you all to the
way of salvation and I desire to show you the way to Heaven. That is why, little children,
be mine and decide with me for holiness. Little children, accept prayer with seriousness
and pray, pray, pray. Thank you for having responded to my call."
DECEMBER 25, 1998 "Dear
children! In this Christmas joy I desire to bless you with my blessing. In a special way,
little children, I give you the blessing of little Jesus. May He fill you with His peace.
Today, little children, you do not have peace and yet you yearn for it. That is why, with
my Son Jesus, on this day I call you to pray, pray, pray, because without prayer you do
not have joy or peace or a future. Yearn for peace and seek it, for God is true peace.
Thank you for having responded to my call."
ANNUAL APPARITION TO JAKOV ON
DECEMBER 25, 1998 After the apparition which began at 11.50 a.m. and lasted 12 minutes,
Jakov wrote:
"Our Lady came joyful. She
greeted me, as always, with 'Praised be Jesus!' She spoke to me about the secrets and
afterwards gave me this message:"
'Dear children! Today, on the
birthday of my Son, my heart is filled with immeasurable joy, love and peace. As your
mother, I desire for each of you to feel that same joy, peace and love in the heart. That
is why do not be afraid to open your heart and to completely surrender yourself to Jesus,
because only in this way can He enter into your heart and fill it with love, peace and
joy. I bless you with my motherly blessing.'
Jakov prayed with his family. He
prepared himself for the apparition with Confession and Holy Mass. After the apparition,
he cried for a while.
