Our Lady of Emmitsburg
To the World
through Gianna Sullivan
January 31, 2005
The Feast of St. Don Bosco
Little
children, praised be Jesus!
Little
ones, I wish you could see the Joy that God has when He looks into your souls
and sees the beauty and tranquility there, and when He receives the praise you
give to the Triune God.
Even
in the midst of your turmoil, little ones, the trivial things that you make
bigger than they really are, these are nothing in the eyes of God. God looks
into your hearts and souls and at all your good actions, your intentions, your
prayer, and your incentives. So be at peace, and know that you are blessed by
the Hand of God. All your intentions are taken by me and laid at the Foot of
my Son's Cross, where He then in His One Salvific Act presents them to His
Father.
With
all the pain that has occurred through the events in the world, yet there is
nothing that has not been previously foretold. In fact, I have cautioned and
invited all to be prepared so that when these things happened, all would be in
the proper frame of mind, one of preparation, and with their hearts at peace.
The
prophecy** of my son, Saint Don Bosco, is now unfolding; and you living within
this time period are witnessing its Truth with your own eyes. Within this
unveiling, there too you shall see unfold the prophecy of my most blessed Saint
Anthony's (of Padua) precious words.
I
know, little ones, that all can rise above levels of interior conflict and
external pressures to be able to be a people of Peace.
"So
fly away, you evil spirits! The Lion of the Tribe of Judah, the Root of David has conquered."
***
All
the evil ones shall be silenced and cast into the Lion's mouth.
Peace
to you, little ones. My Joy is with you, and my prayer is that your joy may be
complete.
(It
was on January 31, 1993, twelve years ago, on the Feast of St. Don Bosco, that
Our Lady first appeared as Our Lady of Emmitsburg to Gianna in Emmitsburg,
Maryland, at the Lourdes Grotto, and invited her and her future husband Michael
to leave their homes and careers and to move there after their marriage later
that year, to assist Our Lady of Emmitsburg in her plan for the world.)
FOOTNOTES:
**On
May 30, 1862, Father Don Bosco narrated a dream in
which he saw the Roman Pontiff standing at the helm of a great flagship (the
Church) steering it amidst the attack from many enemy ships (persecutions
against the Church) between two solid columns soaring high into the sky. One
column is surmounted by a statue of the Immaculate Virgin at whose feet a large
inscription reads: Help of Christians; and the other column, loftier and
sturdier, supporting a large (Eucharistic) Host and bearing beneath it the
inscription: Salvation of Believers; these two columns signifying the only two
things that can save mankind in such a great hour: Devotion to Mary and to the
Blessed Sacrament.

***Our
Lady quoted these words from the Prayer or Blessing against Storms, which has
appeared for 33 years in the PIETA prayer book, and which in the new 2005
edition is attributed to a pilgrim priest who in the 13th century anonymously
visited a convent and church near Lisbon, Portugal, that had been devastated
almost yearly by storms, causing severe loss of property and life. This
pilgrim priest left a written copy of this prayer with the gatekeeper of the
convent, and then he disappeared. It was posted and carried by the monks, and
since that time storms have caused no damage to either the convent or the
religious there. Subsequently, it was ordered to be published by Pope Innocent
III (1198-1216). On January 15, 2005, Our Lady of Emmitsburg shared with
mystic Gianna Sullivan that this mysterious pilgrim priest had been St. Anthony
(of Padua), and she encouraged the use of this prayer during these current
times.
