The Universal Novitiate of the Holy Family:
Pope John Paul II in
his message for World Peace Day, 2000:
“We cannot of course foresee the future, but we can set forth one certain principle: There will be peace only to the extent that humanity as a whole rediscovers its fundamental calling to be one family, a family in which the dignity and rights of individuals – whatever their status, race or religion are accepted as prior and superior to any kind of difference or distinction”.
Introduction.
Our
Lord, Our Lady and
All
that is part of the Trinitarian life of the Holy Family in
In
the Novitiate of the Holy Family all men strive to be Christ-like and guard and
protect the life of Christ in themselves and in their vocation, as did
*
Our Lord used this terminology in messages dated 11th December 1997
and 25th February 1999, and Our Lady in messages dated 7th
September 1999 and 19th November 2003.
19th
October 1990.
Patricia. At the singing of the Creed I was
aware of Our Lady's presence at the reference to the Incarnation. Our Lady spoke:
Our Lady. I have come especially to
families to teach them the Novitiate of the Family. Why do you grieve, my child?
Patricia. I grieve for broken families, for
children and wives who have no protection, for men whose wives have left them
or abandoned the family, for priests who do not realise the full depth of their
spiritual fatherhood - poor abandoned children suffering the deep wounds of
that abandonment!
Our Lady. That is why, my child, it is so
important that you step into the Holy Family; so many do not realise that this
is not a pious exercise but a living reality.
From inside the Holy Family you offer to God the merits of the life of
the Holy Family. We help you struggle
with the sufferings in the natural family while you enjoy all the wonderful
benefits of the Holy Family. Here in the
Holy Family the sacrament of marriage is lived to perfection.
My Heart goes out to suffering families, to the sufferings of the family
of the Community, the Parish, the Family of Nations, the Family of
Mankind. Spread the teaching of the Holy
Family everywhere; live this Novitiate.
No longer will the sins of the parents be visited on the children
to the third and fourth generation, for within the Holy Family – your new
family - your new Parents have nothing but virtue and love to visit upon you
[in a holy and wholesome environment]!
Genesis 1:27.
‘God created
man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female
he created them.’
Patricia.
The Way of Divine Innocence for the
family is this:
Live as the Holy Family lived in
Children, the authority given to your
parents has been given by God! Be
obedient to God by your obedience to your parents.
Parents, exercise your authority by
gentle guidance and good example; never treat your child in a tyrannical
way. You will be held responsible for
your guardianship!
If the family prayed together,
listened to the Scriptures, and spent time before God in the Blessed Sacrament,
God Himself would teach you correct behaviour.
Husbands, treat your wives gently and
kindly. Give them time for prayer and
silence so that their individual talents may enrich the family. Remember again, your bodies are the temples of
God; in every action God is present in you both. By your treatment of each other
you glorify
or crucify Christ Our Lord. When you come together in love and intimacy,
let it not just be for
the satisfaction of the body and its
passions, but in deep love and joy. If
children were conceived in such unions what love would pour into souls!
Wives, serve and respect your
husbands; support them in their trials; submit to their authority which is
given by God. If families followed the
Laws of God in humility and love - what happiness would pour into your homes
and lives!
Patricia.
Let only innocent words fall from your
lips; let only innocent thoughts fill your minds and hearts; and let the Christ
Child be triumphant in Holy Innocence in all your actions.
Patricia.
The Christ Child has been put down by
2 Sam 7:28-29:
“And now, O
Lord GOD, thou art God, and thy words are true, and thou hast promised this
good thing to thy servant; now therefore may it please thee to bless the
house of thy servant, that it may continue for ever before thee; for thou,
O Lord GOD, hast spoken, and with thy blessing shall the house of thy servant
be blessed for ever."
August 1994.
Patricia. Our Lady came at the
Prayers.
Our Lady.
My children, it gives me great pleasure to be with you
during your prayers; it consoles my wounded, Motherly Heart. All your petitions I will make my special
Motherly concern.
you
and to pray and suffer for them, a victim of motherly love.
Our Lady.
You will sow in tears but, I promise you, already you bring
home the sheaves of victory, as more and more souls begin to understand and
live the Novitiate of the One Holy Family, the original Christian Family.
Patricia. Mother, will you
explain
Our Lady.
O my child, men and women have so much to learn from the
Glorious Patriarch,
Patricia. Mother, you were
fortunate indeed in having
Our Lady. My children, you do have
Patricia. In Nazareth
Universal we follow Jesus by living the life of The Trinity in the New Garden
of Eden.
** Such as the
motherly heart of the
Gaudium et Spes, The Church in the
Modern World, n. 24.
‘God, who has fatherly concern for everyone has willed that all people should form one family and treat one another in a spirit of brotherhood.’
16th October 1994.
Jesus.
Those who treat a woman's motherly role with contempt,
tyranny, or harshness commit a very grave sin.
They sin against God the Father's Authority. Who is there who will not pay dearly for such
an offence in the end (Judgement) ?
Patricia. Our Lord spoke of
society and the motherly role of women:
Jesus.
By far the most devastating effect on society is the
diabolical attack on the motherly role of women. You attack the heart of the family, society
and all that is good in women when you attack the motherly role in women.
Many
women are so disorientated by the attacks of men, and the diabolical forces of
evil, on their womanhood and motherhood, that they react aggressively to
centuries of ill treatment.
Novitiate
of the One Holy Family and people of God.
Gaudium et Spes n. 33:
‘ He commanded His Apostles to preach
to all peoples the Gospel’s message that the human race was to become the
Family of God, in which the fullness of the Law would be love.’
12th
April 1998(ii). Holy Thursday.
Patricia. We were studying the 'Profession of Faith'
C.C.C. 512, Paragraph 3: The Mysteries of Christ's Life.
R. 'Concerning Christ's life the Creed speaks
only about the mysteries of the Incarnation (conception and birth) and Paschal
mystery (passion, crucifixion, death, burial, descent into hell, resurrection
and ascension). It says nothing
explicitly about the mysteries of Jesus' hidden or public life, but the
articles of faith concerning his Incarnation and Passover do shed light on the
whole of his earthly life. 'All that Jesus did and taught, from the beginning
until the day when he was taken up to heaven', (Acts 1:1-2) is to be seen in
the light of the mysteries of Christmas and Easter.'
Patricia. Commenting on the above Our Lord said:
Jesus. I AM that I AM! The Holy Family IS PERFECTION on earth! It IS the life of the Blessed Trinity! It IS
the perfection of the Role of Men, Women and Priests! The Novitiate IS the New
Garden of Eden!
Patricia. Both Our Lady and
The one Perfect Priest is Our Lord who completes
the Holy Family. Like the Holy Family our lives must be Christ centred and if
we live fully committed to the life of the Holy Family it will be. That
perfection is not yet perfect in us. The Novitiate of the Holy Family is to
help us to live that perfection right now. The Novitiate is to train us in the
perfection of our roles and how to co-operate more effectively with others in
their roles. In this way the perfection Christ came to give us is founded in
each one of us. Our Lord said "Be
ye therefore perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect. Jesus came to show us
the Way to the Father. The Way of Divine Innocence is the way to the Father
explained in greater clarity.
The hidden life of
Often we hear some people say "Have you
allowed Jesus into your life". We
would do better to think in the other direction. Our lives are full of sin and
imperfection. He wants us to come into His life. We have to go fully into His
life, enter His heart and mind and His Family, the Holy Family.
Our Lord invited us all in the Gospel via Philip
to "Come and See" where he lives in
I asked Our Lord what is the difference between
being in the Church and being in the Novitiate of the Holy Family.
Jesus. The difference is the degree
of perfection revealed and the training offered to attain perfection by the
shortest route possible. Many prefer the long route. They are in no hurry to be
perfect or to reach heaven. Oh Yes,
there are millions of non committed Catholics Christians and millions of non
committed Christians, they are Catholic and Christian in name only.
Patricia. But Lord I am speaking about those trying to
do their best to be good Catholics Christians and good people outside the
Church. Our Lord referred to the Penny Catechism:
R. “ Why did God make me? He made me to KNOW
HIM, to LOVE HIM and to SERVE HIM and to be happy with Him in this world and
the next.” (Penny Catechism)
Jesus. This Novitiate is for
everyone! This is not Personal Service or National Service, this is the
Universal Service of the Holy Catholic Church!
Jesus. What happens to a new recruit
in the Army? ,Training! He or she is prepared for battle. What happens to a
small child in a family? Training! What
happens in the Novitiate of the Holy Family? Training for perfection! On the
Way of Perfection there are battles to be fought and
Patricia. Lord what can we say when people say, “Why
should I serve this Novitiate of the Holy Family?”
Jesus. Tell them the Virgin Mother
of God was humble enough to serve it before you and so was the great St.
Joseph, pure spouse of Mary. Tell them their Saviour and Lord humbled Himself
to be born of a creature and to be obedient to St. Joseph and the Blessed
Mother. Tell them to follow Me from the beginning to the end. Can they say I
have another spirituality other than the spirituality of the Church Herself,
different from the Blessed Mother, separate from St. Joseph; a spirituality
that is not of My Divine Innocence? If
they do, their spirituality is not Catholic or christian or of the original
perfect order I founded in the beginning.
Their situation is not Catholic in the sense of Universal or obedient to
Me. The Blessed Mother said "Do as he tells you" and I said in the
Gospel, “Come and see” [where I live] (Jn 1:39).
Patricia. My Lord, was that not in the context of the
wedding feast?
Jesus. This is the wedding feast of
the Lamb! What servant decides his own training programme. The families, men,
women, the priest, the children are not trained in the Way of My Divine
Innocence! They are not trained to understand the perfection of their separate
yet complementary roles.
Patricia. Forgive me, Lord, for saying that there are
millions of people who have gone before us who never heard of the Novitiate of
the Holy Family. There are millions in the Church now who do not know about it.
I do not wish to question you, Lord, I only wish to be able to answer those who
attack your beautiful messages.
Jesus. There are millions who will
learn this Way of My Divine Innocence because it is the easiest* way to Heaven!
No longer will the roles of women be crucified, no longer will the role of men
be crucified or the role of the Priest. No longer will the innocence of little
children be stolen from them, if only you will follow My Way of Divine
Innocence and allow the original perfect Order I founded in the beginning to be
founded in each one of you!
Jesus. A little child will lead
them, My Divine Innocence. The Way of My Divine Innocence will show the way to
the life that is more abundant.
Patricia. Lord, please, what is the difference between
being in the Church and being in the Church and serving this Novitiate?
Jesus. A difference of degree.
Patricia. Lord, some say everyone is in the Holy
Family.
Jesus. They do not act as if they
are! Many keep company with devils not saints.
Patricia. Lord, we are speaking of those who are
trying to be good Catholics.
Jesus. What do you mean by trying?
How many Catholics really know their faith? How many read the Bible, the very
Word of God? How many have ever opened
the Catechism of the Catholic Church? How many have ever read even one of the
Holy Father’s Documents? How many have read the documents of the Church or the
Councils? What do you mean by trying? - a starvation diet! Many manage on
devotion empty of substance. Too many Catholics are at the kindergarten level
and have no intention of advancing, they wander into error through culpable
ignorance. If they reach Heaven at all they will inhabit the lower mansion.
Patricia. Lord, forgive me for pressing you, I need to
answer those who attack us or think the Novitiate is just another spirituality.
What of priests and religious who say this is not for them, they have another
spirituality?
Jesus. That is the trouble, they
have another spirituality - that is exactly the problem!
‘Through God’s mysterious design, it was in that family [the Holy Family of Nazareth] that the Son of God spent long years of a hidden life. It is therefore the prototype and example for all Christian families.’
28th December 1998.
St. Raphael’s Church, Surbiton. Feast of the Holy Innocents.
Patricia. The
Holy Family is here.
Patricia. Dear Holy Mother, your family is beautiful.
Many people have broken families, broken by sin or separation. Have pity, dear
Mother, and help us.
Our Lady. My children, this is why we wish you to be
fully committed members of the Holy Family, your true home on earth. No longer
do I wish you to say, “I live in a broken family.” Come, come, my dear
children! Come into the Holy Family, but you must be fully committed members of
this Family. Can you honestly say you are fitting members of the Holy Family?
Can you say, my daughters, that you can carry out your motherly role after my
example? My role in the world is to nurture the precious life of Jesus Christ.
Do you nurture the life of Christ, first in yourselves, then in your families,
your particular vocation and work? Do you do so in your speech, your dress,
your intentions? Can you truly say, Mother, I can do this perfectly?
Our Lady. My dear sons (all men), can
you truly say that you carry out your role to perfection in a Christlike way?
[Patricia. The role of St. Joseph and Christ].
Do you protect and guard the life of the Son of
God - the life of Christ, in all you do, in your fatherly role, in yourself, in
your family, in your children; (priests have a spiritual family and spiritual
children), in your vocation, in your speech, in your thoughts and your
intentions, especially towards women? Do you co-operate with women so that the
life of Christ can be conceived, grow and be born in your world?
My priest sons, do you go, or have you ever gone,
down to Nazareth to see where the Saviour, your Heavenly Mother and St. Joseph
live? Yes, live now! Nazareth is where you can all receive the training in the
Novitiate of the Holy Family. Has there ever been a Novitiate that all can
serve, the Holy Father, every Cardinal, every Bishop, every Priest, every man,
woman and child? Only this Novitiate can be served universally.
Jesus. This Novitiate is the Novitiate of the
Church and all mankind. The Saviour goes forth in this Novitiate to gather in
the whole people of God, the sheep, the lambs. I call to the shepherds,
shepherds after My own Heart, “come, help Me gather in My flock.”
Patricia. The Holy Family was shown standing together
over the sanctuary area, Our Lady holding the Holy Child. Suddenly the Holy
Child was shown in the centre of a magnificent light with wounds on His hands,
feet, heart and brow. Angels were adoring Him, St. Joseph and Our Lady knelt
also. This scene changed and Our Lord was shown as a strong Shepherd carrying a
shepherd’s crook and striding over the whole world gathering in His sheep from
all the nations. Then Our Lord called the Holy Father, the Cardinals, Bishops
and Priests to come and help Him to gather in His flock, by learning this Novitiate
and helping the people to learn the Universal Novitiate of the Holy Family. A
great battle rages around God’s people.
Jesus. It is the devil’s intention to destroy as
many souls as possible made in God’s Image. He begins with the weakest and most
helpless, the most wounded, even from the moment of conception. The devil has
collaborators in government officials, medical people, parents and educators.
They do not realise that they are agents of diabolical evil.
The Way of My Divine Innocence will defend you if
you will only listen. Give Me no more excuses. Study your faith. Come on your
knees in confession. Amend your lives completely. You have the strength of your
God with you. You are My Body, the Church. Be strong, be holy, be blessed !
Thank you for your reparation. You hold back punishment from the most guilty in
order that they may repent.
Patricia. Our Lord gives His Blessing +.
31st December
2000. Feast of the Holy Family. Nazareth
House. New Commitments, renewal of
Commitments, intentions to make the Commitment to the Holy Family.
Patricia. The Holy Family is here. In a spiritual sense, I kneel beside Our Lady
close to Our Lord (the Child Jesus) and close to St. Joseph. Speaking for the Holy Family, Our Lady said:
Our Lady. We have come to receive with joy the new
intentions, the new Commitments and the deeper commitments of those who have
already taken their Commitment. Some of
you must take your Commitment alone and some of you are able to join with other
members, but to us, you are all as one dear family - our family, the Holy
Family. No one is forgotten or forsaken.
You have brothers and sisters in growing numbers in many countries. Little by little your numbers will grow into
the Holy Catholic (Universal) Family within the original design. You will
understand more and more clearly the dignity of being a member of God's own
Household, the Holy Family itself. It is the destiny of mankind to belong to
this original Christian family. What joy
will be yours when you are able to embrace your brothers and sisters of all
races and peoples and truly know and live as true members of the Holy Family.
The full
beauty of the Trinitarian life of this original design is yours and has been so
since the beginning. The perfection of your motherly and fatherly, male and
female roles comes to perfection within the Holy Family in holy and childlike
innocence through the Novitiate of the Holy Family. Do not be afraid of this
training! We are with you to help you to
walk in the Holy and Divine Innocence of Jesus by easy and gentle steps. Follow
Him! He has shown you the gentle slopes and byways of green pastures. He is the Good Shepherd who leads you by
still waters and the good pastures of holiness.
There is no simpler way to reach perfection than the Way of Christ's
Divine Innocence. Each year, with the
renewal of your Commitment, He is born anew within you and your vocation. Do not be discouraged by your failures. They are to us falls that draws us quickly to
your side (like parents who rush to pick up a child that has fallen), not to
condemn, but to lift you up, bathe your wounds and set you upon the right road
again.
Patricia. The
Infant Jesus speaks:
Infant Jesus. Follow Me in Divine Innocence! Be My
companions - I love you!
Patricia. St
Joseph speaks:
St. Joseph. Each one of you is my
special concern and under my protection!
Patricia. The
Infant Jesus blesses us and our Lady and St. Joseph give us their motherly and
fatherly blessing.
Patricia. Later
the same day Our Lord said:
Jesus. Tell the people
that not one particle of their suffering is wasted when they unite it to Mine
on the Cross. It becomes a perfect
offering in My Perfect Offering for the whole of humanity and helps Me to draw
all things to Myself, all mankind and all creation. My children, think
carefully of the action of the Blessed Trinity; Love - Divine Love; Unity -
universal unity; Peace - world peace, within One Holy Family of God. 'No more Jew or Gentile, No more slave or
freeman.....' you are all
Think
carefully of relationship - the universal relationship of Divine Love of the
Blessed Trinity. Your relationship with the Trinitarian life of the Holy Family
within your person, gender, role and vocation!
Male and female, your God created you in love for a relationship of love
in My Divine Innocence. A relationship
of perfect love that draws all things to union, unity, peace and life more
abundantly! By committing yourself to
the Novitiate of the Holy Family in humility and love and with true diligence
and full commitment you say with the Blessed mother, 'Yes, be it done unto me
according to thy Word', and My Father and I will come to you and the Holy
Spirit will overshadow you and draw you to the very heart of the Trinity;
Divine Love - Divine Innocence -one Divine Family, THE
All your
trials and crucifixions offered in union with Mine upon the Cross is already
VICTORY, for I have conquered sin and death forever! Claim My Victory as your own and you will see
not the outward appearance but the sure and certain Victory of your faith and
the faith of My Church and you will say in your individual crucifixions and in
agony on the cross: 'Forgive them, they know not what they do'(Lk 23:34). You
will love those who persecute you and do good to those who despise you (Matt 5:44).
In every seeming defeat, you will be able to say: " 'He is RISEN, He is
not here' in this tomb of sin and evil", and with St. Thomas and Mary
Magdalene, "My Lord and My God" "Rabonni" (Teacher). You will say "He is RISEN, here in my
heart, in my will, in my home, in my agony, in my sorrow and loss" and
then grace will pour down and you will be an instrument of My Love. You will
say; "For unto us a child has been born, a son given to us; authority
rests upon his shoulders; and he is named Wonder Counsellor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." (Isa 9:6) "My peace, the world's peace, the Prince
of Peace, Divine Innocence regained and my lost innocence risen in His Divine
Innocence. Victorious! Yes, all is and will be well! My Blessing +.
19th January 2001.
Jesus.
Do not break up the whole diamond [Patricia. Our Lord was referring to an earlier message
that spoke about a great diamond symbolising all facets of the Catholic faith;
the different orders, charisms, spirituality’s and movements within the
Church. He showed that the Way of
Christ’s Divine Innocence is the whole diamond in its complete perfection
triumphant in His Divine Innocence.]
Each facet flashes out the beauty of the whole diamond. If one facet is missing, the brilliance of
this precious stone is diminished.
Jesus.
The whole diamond of My Divine Innocence has shone out ever more
brilliantly over the ages in the understanding of mankind (P. e.g. in Our Lady, in the Holy Family and the
founding of the domestic Church, in the Apostles, the Church at Pentecost, the
first disciples, the first communities, the development of doctrine, the
Fathers and the spread of the Church with its great orders)
Patricia. I was shown a huge and
exquisitely beautiful diamond wrapped in soft velvet slowly being unwrapped
over the centuries. Now in this age, the
whole diamond of Christ’s Divine Innocence is revealed, although it was always
there from the beginning. Christ's
Divine Innocence is more easily recognised in the Holy Infant, the Word made
flesh in Bethlehem. But of course
Christ's Divine Innocence is not limited to a physical age in His humanity or
to His life here on earth, because He is God, never beginning, never ending. God’s Divine Innocence is Trinitarian! Divine Innocence is incredible! Oh, if only the Church officials would allow
me to explain! God wants mere human
beings to enjoy this incredible reality; 'O Divine Innocence be triumphant in
our crucified innocence'.
Jesus.
There should be no fear or rivalry between the orders and communities
and the community of My Divine Innocence - You will and must be one! What diamond breaks itself up into single
facets? - No separation, one Universal Family!
The one Holy Family and People of God!
Patricia. The same day…
Patricia. We went down by car to Mass at
the Parish Church of St. Raphael's.
There had been a sprinkling of snow during the night that formed a light
covering over everything. Our Lord spoke,
referring to His Divine Innocence:
Jesus.
My Divine Innocence is not just an outer covering like snow.
Patricia. Martin Luther had described the
human person as being like a dung heap covered with snow; that our sinfulness
remains hidden beneath the outer pure covering of Christ and that we did not change
within, innocence was lost and could not be regained. The Catholic faith believes that, through the
Sacraments and grace, we truly do change within and our innocence can be
returned to us. Christ’s innocence
becomes the very fabric of our being, His Divine Innocence transforms us from
within. The life of God’s Divine
Innocence, Our Lord said, was not an optional memoria, it was a perpetual feast
day (The Divine Office of the Church celebrates memorias, optional memorias and
feast days, Our Lord used this analogy to make His point).
Jesus.
Hence, the prayer I have given you;
"O Divine Innocence be triumphant in our crucified innocence",
the Trinitarian Divine Innocence.
Patricia. God the Father's Will, His Mercy
and Love, all that the Father is; Christ redeeming us, his love and
forgiveness, all that Christ is; the Spirit, the Divine Innocence of the Spirit
as Consoler and Advocate, all the fruits of the Holy Spirit, is Divine
Innocence in unity, splendour, joy.
Jesus.
Love, love and more love!
Jesus.
Divine Innocence is the Mass, Divine Innocence is poured out to you in
love in Confession and all the Sacraments!
Why should the Church authorities be afraid of My Divine Innocence? But then, I knew you would be afraid, because
the light of its brilliance would blind your eyes!
Patricia. Our Lord showed that this light
illuminates all areas of darkness and disorder.
Jesus.
Wherever I am in the light of My Divine Innocence, there is no darkness.
Live in the light of My Divine Innocence!
Patricia. As we approached the local
Church, Our Lord referred to some shrubs in a garden.
Jesus.
The flowers that blossom in winter, the berries that feed the birds, the
seeds ready to fall onto the earth and begin to grow etc. are all expressions
of My Divine Innocence in nature and show My Love for you. In nature, the most beautiful expression of
innocence is snow (P. its pure white
flakes of innumerable variations falling to the ground), in human nature, a
newly-born child and even more so when the child is baptised! Divine Innocence is present in the Virgin
Mary - in virginity.
Patricia. What of those who have lost their
innocence?
Jesus.
Confession restores innocence again!
Patricia. As we settled ourselves in the
Church pew, the bell rang for Mass, Father came out into the Sanctuary and was
about to begin Mass. Our Lord spoke:
Jesus.
Now watch Divine Innocence in saving action! (Patricia. In the Mass)
Patricia. Father began Mass by making the
sign of the Cross. Our Lord showed that
Divine Innocence has its beginning in the Holy Trinity. Then, at the Priest's invitation, we said the
Confiteor. Innocence is in our
confession of sins and in our contrition.
Father concluded with "May Almighty God have mercy on us, forgive us
our sins and bring us to everlasting life". Our Lord showed that in our repentance and
our asking Him to forgive us through the Church, we showed our desire to be
innocent. Our Lord spoke:
Jesus.
Ask and you will receive. When
you ask for something in My Name, My Father will give it to you. You have asked for mercy and it will be
given!
Patricia. The Word of God was then read.
Jesus.
The Divine Innocence of the Word is active and effective in those who
co-operate and desire to live the word in their lives in humility.
Jesus.
Divine Innocence is not of created order - Divine Innocence IS! Divine Innocence in reality is the Mass,
saving mankind once and for all - ever present in the Mass. Divine Innocence is
offered in the perfection of motherhood, fatherhood, childhood and the
Priesthood.
Patricia. Each drop of Christ's Blood is
Divine Innocence shed for love of us!
Jesus.
The aborted children witness to My Divine Innocence triumphant over
every kind of evil - they are forerunners (like St. John the Baptist) of My
coming. Of all humanity, who else could
I have chosen to witness to My Divine Innocence? Tell me, who is more fitting, who a better or
more perfect choice? The claiming will
witness to a fact that God's Divine Innocence is a feast that will feed
millions for generation after generation (with graces)!
Jesus.
You are able to touch in a million ways the expression of My Divine
Innocence in creation, e.g. a new born child, yet ever more perfectly expressed
after Baptism [Patricia. A special grace of Divine Innocence].
Patricia. We can see a reflection of Divine
Innocence in a newly unfurled leaf, in a new-born creatures, e.g. puppies,
kittens, chicks, ducklings, in snowflakes, freshly opened flowers, the sunrise
and the warmth of the sun, snowdrops, fresh milk still warm after milking - a
child asleep in its mother's arms, all the wonders of science and physics, and
in the invisible world those things we cannot touch, electricity, the air we
breathe etc.
Patricia. We human beings are able to
destroy these expressions and reminders of Divine Innocence in creation and in
ourselves. But God, in His tender mercy,
makes all things new and even gives us the gift of the Holy Spirit. He hopes in us, cares for us and draws us
into the life of His Divine Innocence.
Patricia. Lord, what about the little girl
who was neglected and beaten and finally died, and all those killed in their
innocence?
Jesus.
Her reward is great in Heaven [Patricia. Our Lord referred to the Gospel
story of Lazarus]. Those who have
reached the age of reason are responsible for their freewill.
Jesus.
In Confession, Divine Innocence draws near and kisses the soul newly
washed in My Precious Saving Blood.
Patricia. Our Lord also showed that the
good angels were another expression of God's Divine Innocence. His Divine Innocence is shown in holiness.
Patricia. A young girl studying the Way of
Divine Innocence and living out the Novitiate in her motherly role, said that
it seems like an impossible thing to reach. Our Lord immediately responded:
Jesus. It is not a matter of you reaching it, but
allowing God's Divine Innocence to reach you and to elevate you!
23rd April 2001.
Nazareth House. Mass.
Patricia. I was thinking about the first Reading taken
from the Acts of the Apostles 4:23-31 in which the Holy Spirit came upon the
Apostles filling them with his gifts:
R. ‘And now, Lord, look upon their threats, and
grant to thy servants to speak thy word with all boldness, while thou stretchest
out thy hand to heal, and signs and wonders are performed through the name of
thy holy servant Jesus." And when they had prayed, the place in which they
were gathered together was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy
Spirit and spoke the word of God with boldness.’
Patricia. I asked if we could receive gifts
of the Holy Spirit and of healing like the Apostles. Speaking of the Way of Divine Innocence, Our
Lord said:
Jesus.
This is a radical healing of every area of your lives, of My body the
Church, of society, in fact all humanity!
The time is ripe for this harvest!
It is preventative! It is the
operative for the inoperative! It is
surgical where that is necessary (cutting out the cancer of sin)! If you follow this way, it will cure the
cancer of sin that spreads rapidly through My people! It is a cure-all and a panacea for many
spiritual and physical sicknesses! By
learning the Novitiate of the Holy Family and walking in the Way of My Divine
Innocence, the blind will see, the lame walk, the deaf hear and the dead will
be raised to a new age of My Divine Innocence!
Many
work hard at various vocations but few work hard at the true everlasting
vocation, HOLINESS! (Mat. 5:48– Lumen
Gentium; universal call to holiness)
True citizenship begins with sanctity, then you will eventually be a
citizen of Heaven. Many governments pay
students fees to study secular subjects and expect them to pass
examinations. What is the use of all
this knowledge if there is no knowledge of God to set all on the right road to
Heaven? When will governments and
society see that holy people make for a safe and stable society?
Patricia. Dear Lord, many people may
disagree with you!
Jesus.
You may disagree with the TRUTH but that will not change it!
Patricia. Lord, you began with the Jewish
people, why are we not all Jewish?
Jesus.
They are the chosen people. I Am
the Messiah the people Israel waited for.
Why are not all Jews Christians – following the long awaited One – the King of the Jews and the Saviour and
Messiah of all humanity? Many of the
chosen people chose not to believe, so they stay under the bondage of the old
law, do not enjoy the New Dispensation, and so are not healed!
11th July
2004(i). Nazareth House.
Jesus. The fatherly authority of all
men, married and single and priests is founded in the Will and Word of the
Father and vivified by the Holy Spirit. Outside this the authority of men will
be disordered and dangerous and will devastate the motherly role of women. The motherly authority is founded in the Will
and Word of the Father and vivified by the Holy Spirit, outside this, it is
disordered.
Patricia. The personification of Our Lady’s motherly
role in all women brings their role to perfection.
Jesus. The motherly and fatherly roles of the
Blessed Mother and St. Joseph are not understood in the male and female
genders. The Novitiate of the Holy Family helps to put this right. Too many men and women base their family life
on bread alone (the temporal) instead of on the word of God; ‘Man does not live
on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of God’ (Mat 4:4).
You are wasting too much time on irrelevant things from which you gain
nothing. I try to remind you, season
after season, of Divine Innocence and the Way of Divine Innocence, but you do
not hear the Song of Divine Love! Those
who say the Divine Office, sing the Song of Divine Love in union with my Bride
the Church and creation.
Patricia. Lord, why don’t we hear the Song of Divine
Love with our ears instead of our souls?
Jesus. Because men would try to kill it, capture it,
or even sell it, but this way they cannot lay hold of it or silence it, for My
Song will be sung! It is sung
softly; softly as featherdown, soft as a summer breeze. It has perfume and colour, it is sung in the
colours of the flowers and the trees and all that has perfume in creation. There are millions of ways in which the Song
is sung. It is held still and fast in
the great mountains and rocks until it bubbles forth in the mountain
streams. It sparkles on the rivers and
it dances in the stars. The sun shines
in My Song and the birds compete in the Song each to their part. You can even taste the Song, the harvest and
the fruits of the earth that strengthen you to sing My Song and to walk in the
Way of My Divine Innocence!
Those who are attuned to My Song see and hear its rhythm everywhere;
those who live the Way of Divine Innocence and strive to sing this Song in all
their actions, words and deeds, need not fear death. Death is not the finale of the Song but the
continuation of a life well lived in Christian piety and truth.
Patricia. What about other peoples of the world (such
as those of other faiths who do not know of the Song)?
Jesus. They have part of the Song but
not the whole of it. The fullness of
this Song resides in the Catholic Faith.
No other religious leader has ever said “I Am that I Am” (Exo 3:14) or
that “I am the Way and the Truth and the Life, no one comes to the Father
except through me”! (Jn 14:6)
21st July 2004.
Patricia. At the end of Mass I was going
to teach a little prayer of thanksgiving to my granddaughter aged six, after
she had received a blessing from the Priest.
She is not old enough yet to receive Holy Communion. She said to me:
Child. “I do what my daddy does” (Saying prayers
her father had taught her)!
Jesus. See the importance of good example. This
statement of this little one is more important than you might expect, “I do
what my daddy does”. ‘I came only to do the Will of my Father’. I do only what my Abba does. My Father is in
Me and I am in Him so that you also may be in us. (cf. Jn 17:21) The seriousness of leading one of these
little ones astray is grave indeed. In
fatherhood, not only must My life and word be protected but you must do only
your Heavenly Father’s Will. St. Joseph
did the will of My Father in protecting and providing for me in Nazareth.
Therein lies your peace and holiness. To
lead one of these little ones astray, ‘it is better that a millstone were hung
around that person’s neck and he be thrown into the sea’ (Mt 18:6).
Your Heavenly Father saw the effects of original sin and the
devastating effects of ignorance. He
took pity on you and sent his Son so that your crucified innocence, and that of
your children, could be triumphant in My Crucified Innocence and My Triumph on
the Cross.
The authority of fathers over their children and in the family should
be according to the Will of God the Father.
‘If you have seen me you have seen the Father’ (Jn 14:9) so you cannot
say “how can we know the Father’s Will?”
‘I am meek and humble of heart’, I spoke the truth, I Am Truth. Innocence resides in the Truth. Divine Innocence is Truth residing. Truth resides in the Holy Family. The Trinitarian life of the Holy Family is
not optional, it is mandatory and formational!
It is a place of peace and holiness, a shelter from the world. It is for men, women and children, God’s own
Household within the Church!
Do not be distant relatives of the Holy Family* (other Christians and
other religions), be One Holy Family and People of God! Yes, do as this little girl has said, “I do
what my daddy does”, Your ‘Abba’, Your Heavenly Father! [Patricia. ‘Abba’ has
the same intimate meaning as ‘Daddy’]
*Patricia. Dear Heavenly Father, please let me know you
as my Abba, Daddy, in the way a little child would, so that I may feel secure
under the care of a good father. Give me the grace to do only Your Will.
Jesus. In what I have said here you can see why St.
Joseph is My foster father and guardian, not My Father, for I AM is not
engendered from mortal seed, I Am ‘begotten not made’. I took my humanity from the Immaculate Mother
of God. I AM ‘God from God, light from
light, true God from true God, begotten not made, of one being with the Father’
(Nicene Creed). I could not obey the
will of man unless it was in accord with the Father’s Will. As you see from the Gospel account, St.
Joseph, until instructed by the Angel, was going to put away the Blessed Mother
(Mt 1:18-21).
From the Gospel account, you see he humbly accepted correction and
training within the Novitiate of the Holy Family and took up his role as father
guardian of My life in the family and in the world. He protected the Word made flesh in the womb
of the Virgin and within the Holy Family.
The Blessed Mother and St. Joseph did the same in themselves and in
others, nurturing and protecting My life, and lived in joyful unity in the Holy
Spirit, according to the Will of the Father.
There is no greater place of safety than to serve the Novitiate of the
Holy Family in Nazareth Universal, within the One Holy Catholic Church. My Church was acquired at the price of My
Blood. Do not accept a poor imitation of the other Christian denominations,
they are demon-ations; they are not founded by Me and are not of the original
saving perfection, because you need the Sacraments. I did not nominate Luther, King Henry VIII or
others to build My Church! I built My
Church on the firm rock of Peter (Mt 16:18).
The One, Holy, Catholic Church is My Bride, spotless and pure. I do not take a second, third or more brides,
I do not take a harlot or the unfaithful to be My Bride! These other denominations are not My Bride
[the Virgin Bride of Christ], the Catholic Church of which the Blessed Virgin
is a type. These other denominations
reject the Virgin and in this show their true colours. The dragon pursued the woman clothed in the
Sun in order to kill her child as it was born and when he found that this was
not possible he turned upon her children (Rev 12). Still the old enemy tries to kill My life
wherever it is born anew in mankind; to kill or distort My Word, My Church, My
doctrine, My Sacraments, wherever I Am present.
Do not co-operate with him! The
Scriptures are specific. They say,
‘There will be one flock and one shepherd’ (Jn 10:16). Protestantism proliferates many churches,
false shepherds, no rock of Peter, no Virgin Bride – does not honour My Mother
and so breaks the Commandment. Turn, My
children, to the Truth that comes from God!
Be My One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church and receive the
Sacraments of the Catholic Church and her doctrine!
Patricia. Lumen
Gentium, the Church’s Constitution on the Church, states in n.8:
‘Christ, the one Mediator, established and continually
sustains here on earth his holy Church, the community of faith, hope and
charity, as an entity with visible delineation (9) through which he
communicates truth and grace to all. But the society structured with
hierarchical organs and the Mystical Body of Christ are not to be considered as
two realities, nor are the visible assembly and the spiritual community, nor
the earthly Church and the Church enriched with heavenly things; rather they
form one complex reality which coalesces from a divine and a human element.(10)
For this reason, by no weak analogy, it is compared to the mystery of the
incarnate Word. As the assumed nature inseparably united to him serves the
divine Word as a living organ of salvation, so, in a similar way, does the
visible social structure of the Church serve the Spirit of Christ, who vivifies
it, in the building up of the body (cf. Eph 4:16).
This is the one Church of Christ which in the Creed is
professed as one, holy, catholic and apostolic,(12) which our Saviour, after his
resurrection, commissioned Peter to shepherd (Jn 21:17), and, with the other
apostles to extend and direct with authority (cf. Mt 28:18:f.), which he
erected for all ages as "the pillar and mainstay of the truth" (1 Tm
3:15). This Church constituted and organized in the world as a society,
subsists in the Catholic Church, which is governed by the Successor of Peter
and by the bishops in communion with him(13), although many elements of
sanctification and of truth are found outside of its visible structure. These
elements, as gifts belonging to the Church of Christ, are forces impelling
toward catholic unity.’
Patricia. The Church draws her doctrine from Sacred
Scripture and Sacred Tradition. Dei Verbum, the Church’s Constitution on Divine
Revelation states in n.9:
‘…..there exists a close
connection and communication between sacred Tradition and Sacred Scripture. For
both of them, flowing from the same divine wellspring, in a certain way merge
into a unity and tend toward the same end. For Sacred Scripture is the Word of
God inasmuch as it is consigned to writing under the inspiration of the divine
Spirit, while sacred Tradition takes the Word of God entrusted by Christ the
Lord and the Holy Spirit to the apostles and hands it on to their successors in
its full purity, so that, led by the light of the Spirit of truth, they may in
proclaiming it preserve this Word of God faithfully, explain it and make it
more widely known. Consequently, it is not from Sacred Scripture alone that the
Church draws her certainty about everything which has been revealed. Therefore,
both sacred Tradition and Sacred Scripture are to be accepted and venerated
with the same sense of loyalty and reverence.’
17th August
2004. Feast of Our Lady of the Hidden
and Mystical Wounds.
Patricia. We were gathered in a primary school for our
family get-together after the Walk of the Sign of the Cross over the United
Kingdom, which was completed with Mass at St. Raphael’s Church, Surbiton,
England. At the singing of the hymn ‘O
purest of creatures, sweet Mother, sweet Maid’ Our Lady came and gave the
following message:
Our Lady. Thank you my children for your response
today.
Patricia. Speaking as if she were a teacher in a school
classroom, Our Lady then said:
Our Lady. How many of you are my students? Raise your hands! How many of you, my dear
children, have truly begun to walk in the Way of My Son’s Divine Innocence?
Here you are in a school for primary school children. What is your grade in my school, the School
of Nazareth Universal? I am your Novice
Mistress, St. Joseph your Novice Master, the Lord of Life, not only your only
God but your Professor. In this
Novitiate I have come in these messages to gather into the Lord’s Household all
humanity. I came to you first, will you
disappoint me? Will I be able to proudly
present you as good students to My Lord and your Lord? Children, there is no time to waste.
There are to be attacks on the Church. Many have already taken place
and many others are fully active. You need to be armed with a deep knowledge of
the faith. Please, I beg of you, come
and study the Novitiate of the One Holy Family of God! I will then show you just what an ‘amazing
grace’ Divine Innocence is! My Motherly
Blessing +.
15th September 2004(ii).
Feast of Our Lady of Sorrows. Convent in France.
Patricia. Some of us were staying in the
Convent’s guest house. The sisters were
an enclosed order. Their spirituality was centred around prayer, adoration and
self renunciation. I prayed that God
would show us the way in which this community of sisters could respond to
Christ’s Divine Innocence and this new theological development. Last night after talking to the Mother
Superior of the community, I saw in my spirit, sisters who were well trained in
the faith teaching the laity in their Church at the Eucharistic
University. I understood that the
sisters could arrange programs of study for the laity and also short retreats
so that lay people can experience their contemplative way of life. I felt there should be a greater freedom of
movement but in the correct spirit of things and with proper safeguards. .
If the sisters are well educated in doctrine, the teaching and
documents of the Church, in catechesis and evangelisation, they are less likely
to lose their vocation. Our Lord said to
tell the sisters to look at the obligations and to see how much they already
do.
Jesus. Be united in My Divine Innocence and the
Novitiate of the Holy Family.
Patricia. Lord, what is the difference between the two
novitiates, a religious one and the Novitiate of the Holy Family?
Jesus. The Novitiate of the Holy Family is
fundamental for the whole Church and all humanity and universal. All other novitiates are particular from
within the Universal Novitiate. The
Novitiate of the Holy Family cannot by its original nature be at variance with
this community’s novitiate. It has been
given to expand your own novitiate into evangelisation and New
Evangelisation. The sisters need to be
well trained in devotion and doctrine, held together in perfect balance (true
doctrine, not deviation).
