Jesus’
message on May 6th, 2004
“I will not look much longer upon
a world that flaunts sin.
I am going to change the
landscape.”
«Serve Me. I have such need of laborers who serve with purity and
dedication. Your all- powerful God needs you. This thought should fill you with
determination to serve. My motives, now as always, originate in love. It is in
love that I seek to save each and every soul. My love knows no limits and My
knowledge of you also knows no limits. You were created by Me. In My eyes you
are delightful. I love everything about you. I even love your weaknesses
because it is through the overcoming of these weaknesses that you will achieve
your place in heaven. I did not create you to sin, little one. No. I did not
create you to sin.
Do I expect you to sin? Yes. I expect that you will
experience your weaknesses. This does not surprise Me. What I want though, is
for you to understand that such actions are sins, that these actions offend
your God, and that you must adopt the proper attitude of repentance.
I will not look much longer upon a world that flaunts sin in the faces
of My servants and uses sin to mock good and holy souls. I will not gaze much
longer upon this scene because I am going to change the landscape. Holiness and
godliness will return. You may be certain of that. What I draw reference to now
is the process in between what the world looks like at this moment and what is
going to happen to cleanse the world so that we have our return to goodness.
Children, you will experience darkness. You are
experiencing darkness now in the form of a tragic level of disobedience and
rebellion. This has brought a darkness over your world that makes it difficult
for Christian souls to have hope. Another darkness is coming and it will be a
physical darkness. You will see it with your physical sense of sight. This has
been foretold and does not surprise some of you, as I, Myself, have allowed
many to understand what is in the future. Be at peace, holy souls, because this
darkness and time of trial is willed by Me and I can only will what is good for
My children. I will take many of you to heaven at that time and your reward
will be far beyond your expectation. I will compensate you for experiencing
this difficult time with the greatest and most sublime of graces during the
transition from this world to the next. You see that you need not be afraid.
Only if you have chosen against Me and continue to rebelliously sin should you
be fearful. Repent. Do so now, today».[1]
Official
position of the Church regarding the revelations of Jesus to Anne
On June 16th,
2006, the bishop of Kilmore, the Right Reverend Leo O’Reilly, issues a statement
(cf. attached to every volume of the messages) saying:
«I have known “Anne”, the founder of the
movement, for several years. She is a Catholic in good standing in the diocese,
a wife and mother of small children, and a woman of deep spirituality. From the
beginning she has always been anxious that everything connected to the movement
be subjected to the authority of the Church. She has submitted all her writings
to me and will not publishing anything without my permission. She has submitted
her writings to the Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith and I have done
so as well.
In so far as I am able to judge she
is orthodox in her writings and teachings. Her spirituality and the spiritual
path that she proposes to those who wish to accept it are in conformity with
the teachings of the Church and of the great spiritual writers of the past and
present».
On September 2nd,
2011, Bishop O’Reilly issues another statement (cf. attached to every volume of
the messages) updating the official position regarding the messages:
- States that the first permission for the publication of the messages remains unchanged and that the publications may continue to be spread.
- Emphasizes that the permission for the publication of the messages is not in any way a final judgment on the authenticity of the private revelations and that, in regard to this matter, one must wait for the final declaration from the ecclesiastic authority.
- Disclosed that in 2010 a diocesan commission of theologians was gathered in order to study the writings of Anne and to assess her witness to the messages she received from Heaven. The theological commission is carrying on its work and the final report shall be made public in due time.
The Right Reverend O’Reilly,
on November 12th, 2013, issued the Imprimitur to all the messages received by Anne, after they
received the Nihil Obstat from the
Deputy Censor the Reverend John Canon Murphy, PP, VF Bailieborough
(cf. http://directionforourtimes.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Bishop-Leo-OReilly-Imprimatur-Statement.pdf).
