The Six Kowtows on the Solemnity of the Ascension

May 16, 2021

This is a message inspired by the Holy Spirit.

Lucia:

O God, it is 1:07. Sunday, May 16, 2021, at St. Theresa church. We are kneeling in front of the sanctuary, the tabernacle, the Cross, the icon of the Divine Mercy, and the holy statue of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel. Today is the official day the Church reminds us is the Solemnity of the Ascension. This morning we also heard the First Reading, the Second Reading as well as the Gospel. The holy Apostles were with Jesus at a certain place then He was slowly taken up on a cloud. This was an experience to recall that the Lord’s work of salvation was completed, and the holy Apostles witnessed the day when He returned to heaven. May we truly experience in our daily lives that God is always with us. When we sin, we know that we certainly distance ourselves from God. When we part, we mourn over the separation between man and man. When our souls sin, we may never meet God again. If we remain in sin, we will no longer have the opportunity to meet or we no longer have hope, if we do not repent.

O God, may we always meditate with all the words You teach us, which are the words to guide us through this life and are also the map to help us progress each day in the life of faith. Only with a lively life of faith can we meet You. A life of faith gives us hope, teaches us many things through God’s doctrine. Now, let us be together in unity to lift up the offering on this Sunday to worship God. Together in unity, let us never forget the gift Mother gave to the world and to us, who are the pioneers. Let us continue to live the days of being called, to be worthy of what God grants. God, please help us overcome the weak, sinful, and wretched flesh. God hates sin, but God never hates sinners, so let us truly rise. Let that not keep happening over and over in our lives for us to be disadvantaged and suffer.

First of all, we thank God, because of our unintentional or deliberate actions, for us to realize that no matter what the circumstances, we should not hurt others’ feelings. Still there are certain things that when we are in a collective life, we must express our feelings. Let us not be ashamed in our hearts, because we cannot lie to others and especially to God, we cannot. Let us recognize our hot tempers, ask God to change our lives for us to live each day more considerately, more thoughtfully, and know how to please God and our brothers and sisters. At this moment, let us bow and prostrate on behalf of all classes and all roles, to offer thankgivings, blessings, praises. Today, Jesus ascended to heaven, please remember us. May this parting be not just an outward display of sadness, but an encounter, a promise in the remaining days, for us to soon return to be worthy to enter the place that Jesus will open the door waiting for each one of us. Now together in unity, we lift up the First Kowtow to God the Father.

The First Kowtow, we reverently offer to God the Father.

O God the Father, I adore You, I thank You, I bless and praise You. Thank You Father, for all the blessings poured out on us. No matter how sinful, no matter how wretched, unintentionally or deliberately, You still love us boundlessly. We have no other place to turn to apart from Your love. In the last days Jesus often asked us to stay in His love, because only that love gives us more zest for life, more hope. Even if people betray us, look at us with disdain, look at us with contempt, reject us, or judge us, only You understand the plight of each one of us. O Father, we want many things but we cannot do much. There is nothing like sincerity to tell Father all about our daily lives. We live in a world where we feel truly lonely and afraid.

Faith today is indeed compromised. Without a fulcrum from Father who grants to us, we do not know where is truth, where is falsehood, where is evil, where is righteousness. The world is heading for war with days of death, of plague. The place where we live is also not secure, the world is entering days that are truly corrupt in terms of the society, in terms of the truth. The normal life is insecure, unstable, threatened by war, not knowing when what will happen. The pandemic has begun to spread. When we think about this, spiritually and physically, we are simply a small grain of sand among countless other grains of sand, but Father loves us immeasurably.

O Father, please forgive us. Father, please forgive the people who still do not know, for them to know; the people who still have not returned, for them to return to You. We only know that in this moment, as the parishioners, as the holy sheep of God, we need to look at what is most necessary, most urgent, and deny ourselves, to pray, to do penance, to sacrifice, to contribute what we can in unity. We ask God to bless our Church, the holy Church, the apostolic Church, the true, sincere, faithful Church of God, to not be divided, to not be schismatic, to not allow wounds by the traitors that brought shame and pain to our Church. The wounds of Jesus are bleeding because of the chosen, but God, please look at the virtuous and holy people. In their whole lives they sacrifice, they always trust and always serve as God calls. Please look at those pastors, those good shepherds are a shining example to us. Father, please help them, protect them in a special way for their voices to be an influence and a source of comfort to laypeople like us.

I also lift up to God the United States of America. Each day there are many news that make us feel very sad and disappointed, but through this disappointment everyone knows what is we must trust and rely on, which is God. May everyone recognize the truth, with the deceit, with the wealth and power, with the suits, with the beautiful words, but nothing is true.  It is just an illusion, a vagueness, a transience. May God allow us to convene, surrender, prostrate ourselves to worship God, and return to God. May God forgive us. May God sanctify the heart of each person in stubbornness, in obstinacy, to return to Him. At this time, I also lift up to God the East China Sea, the country of Vietnam, the country of China, all the countries that are preparing with the scientific weapons ready to be fired. Trouble is starting in the East China Sea, which will certainly affect the mainland and the citizens later and each of the neighboring countries. O God, there will be mourning, suffering, death.

Do we know to pray? Do we know to run to God? Though we are not involved or live far away, but before the sight of a life between man and man who are the people living in the same world and are fellow beings, if we do not pray, then who will? If we do not lift up to God, then who will? May everyone unite to pray and give up iniquity and wickedness, to return to God, by sacrifice, with earnest words we reverently lift up to Him, to beseech Him to intervene, to beseech Him to decide for our world, to end war, to end the pandemic, to end evil in the world. May God destroy the evil spirits that poison our world with the terrible snares that corrupted the young people and caused them to fall. Among them are people we know: brothers, relatives, great-grandchildren, children.

May God have mercy on today’s young people, to help them get out of the clever trap of science and its machinery, to return to righteousness, to prepare for their souls, because one day not far all things will come to an end. That day is the coming purification. May everyone have ears to hear, eyes to see, hearts to feel, and be prepared by the repentance and the return to the only Lord God whom we worship, love, revere, adore. We ask for forgiveness. May we belong to God the Father. Father, please accept our prayers.

The Second Kowtow, we reverently offer to Jesus.

O Jesus, our Savior, I thank You. Thank You for being the fulcrum of our earthly life, with a doctrine to lead us out of crisis and fear. Thank You. You are the Supreme Being who  sacrifices, still waits for us, grants us love, forever is love, and waits for sinners like us to return.

O Jesus, I thank You, because You died for me, died for the world, died for everyone in the world for us to live and exist til this day. May everyone recognize this and return to God. Do not let it be too late and too tardy. We were too late, the world is going into turmoil, the world is separated from God, the world is living in disobedience, the world is arrogant, offending God,  challenging God. God loves us so much. God died for us. God accomplished His work and returned to heaven. Today, this reminds us that even though it has been over 2,000 years, but the love of our Savior, of our Redeemer, of our God, of our eternal Lord Savior, is once again alive in every Mass.

Only His love, His doctrine, help people find truth, security, peace, happiness, and avoid sin, lessen sin, eliminate sin. We have truly plunged into sin like moths so we no longer know what is right and what is wrong. Life continues to be depressing in the midst of the plague of both soul and body. May all classes and roles rise up again and treasure the drop of blood that Jesus  exchanged to redeem us. The excruciating suffering of the Cross lifts our souls and brings our souls back to God. Let us not lose what is the best that God grants to us, due to pettiness, wretchedness, and weakness.

O God, please have mercy on us, forgive us for things that happened and are happening in general to this world as well as to the collective, to the community, to the individual. It is due to  the desire to win ego, the unrighteous ego, the disobedient ego; and due to greed, selfishness, lust, deceit, breaking promises, always nourish sin, foster sin, and with sin.

O Lord Jesus Christ, because of those points, You suffered greatly. You did not wear the aureole, but You wore a crown of thorns to replace the evil thoughts of mankind. That heavy Cross was a thousand times more sufferings, You no longer have the strength, but still carried that Cross to save humanity. The wounds, the sufferings, we should have endured, but You endured for us. The blood was all shed. The nails were nailed to the Cross like a bond to redeem the sins of mankind, with the extreme suffering and humiliation caused by sinners. Today, the wounds have not yet healed, people have not yet awakened. After more than 2,000 years, there is still war, envy, jealousy, still causing pain to each other.

When will we wake up? When will we mature, even for the most insignificant matters? So at this point, we must accept the consequences of what we choose, accept the consequences for rejecting God, for challenging God. Only one thing, we are the little people, we are the victims, we are the sinners. Thanks to Jesus’ rescue for us today to have a little voice in life with the wretched condition of those who are the little people, to lift up to Jesus.

O Jesus, we believe in You. O Jesus, we know You and we love You. We listen to You and we practice what You teach. Though to us it is too late, but this is the only hope for  humanity, all classes, all roles. We beseech God, ask God to sanctify, ask God to transform. God, please transform the heart of our world, with the indifference, the stubbornness, the stiffed neck, the hardened heart, the unfeeling heart that does not know to love, to feel, and is not moved. That is the reason for this world to be chaotic like today, but O God, there is a number of people, though few, who believe in You. We trust in You and we beseech You. We lift up to You iniquities, wickednesses, and weaknesses.

God, please forgive us and allow us to return to You, because at this moment only You are our hope, only You deliver us, only You restore the world, the atomic bombs in the days of war, the days of dispute, the days of death, suffering, sickness, and hunger. O God, please forgive us. God, please accept our prayers. We ask in the name of the Lord, the God of love. May God’s holy will be done soon in the world to save us from sin and death. God came and saved us, but we refused, so today we must live with the sufferings. We see there is no more peace, no more faith, no more doctrine and truth.

O Jesus, please forgive us. Today, You return to heaven after Your accomplishment, but we remain with the wounds of our hearts, with the sins of the days of our foolishness and so much more. May God have mercy and forgive. May God allow us to see the maturity of the great work of salvation. Today, after Your accomplishment, You return to heaven, but You are still present, spiritually, in the heart of every human being, and give us life and hope. God, please forgive us. We lift up all our sorrows and difficulties, we ask God to accept our prayers and we ask God to have mercy. May God’s holy will be done in this world, for everyone to be secure, to long for peace, for truth, for us to recognize God, love God, apologize to God, be forgiven by God, be immersed in His infinite Divine Mercy, and to amend our lives. We ask in the name of the Lord, our God, now and for ever and ever. We belong to Jesus, the Second Person of God, whom we believe, we adore, and we honor. May we belong to God.

The Third Kowtow, we reverently lift up to the Holy Spirit.

O Holy Spirit, you are the love, the light, the grace. It is You who enlightened and guided us through this life. O Holy Spirit, You are our strength, You are the love, You are the path of truth. You are the true, holy, perfect Supreme Being who teaches us to understand unintentional or deliberate matters in life for us to be determined to return.

O Holy Spirit, You are the Supreme Being who enlightens us and guides us to live in the seven sources of grace. Many times, we forgot and we transgress with the seven sources of grace that You teach, so in our lives we end up lonely, lost, afraid, perplexed, and worried.

O Holy Spirit, You are love, always forgive, always patient, always dwell with mankind when we repent and return. May we trust in You to ask You to transform our hearts, for us to be righteous. God, please renew the face of the earth, renew all viewpoints in the world that are seeking wars and sufferings, to lead people into death and the plague of both soul and body.

O Holy Spirit, please grant the leaders in all nations the wisdom to know what to do to avoid wars and sufferings to the innocent victims. We pray for all the spiritual lives of the people who believe in God, the people who still do not know God, the people who never recognized God. May our Church continue to live in the example of God’s word, to testify to the Good News as Jesus desires and yearns. Jesus returned to heaven, but He said to His disciples: “Go and proclaim the Good News, I am with you always till the end of the age.”

Those words still resonate in the Church, they also echo in the heart of every Christian in today’s world. Let us be responsible, live so that others see us and believe in God. Let us live and remove everything that is the ego. Let us live worthy of the position in our role and ministry and even in the life of the laity with mission, for us to unite, to listen to the enlightenment of the Holy Spirit, to return to holiness, to eliminate all schisms, separations, everything in a sophisticated civilized enticing world. Let us return with a heart and a sincere love between man and man, to respect, to revere, to love, and to adore God. May the enlightenment of the Holy Spirit be sharp in our lives, for us to find the truth, the righteous path that we lost, because we are proud and arrogant, we live according to our individuality, and we live according to the ego and personality.

Let us return. Let us return to God while time still allows. Let us embrace and seek to return to the Holy Spirit, for Him to enlighten and guide us. Jesus died for us to live to receive His infinite Divine Mercy, to receive the love of the Holy Spirit that will never be absent in our lives. Let us return to be worthy of what is granted. We have only one way, which is to return in a spirit of repentance, for us to live, to be forgiven, to deserve to be saved in this present day. We ask in the name of the Lord, the God of love. Now and for ever and ever, we belong to God.

The Fourth Kowtow, we reverently offer to the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ.

O Eucharistic Jesus, I thank You for allowing us to receive You into our hearts. At every Mass, we participate in the sacred banquet. We rejoice when we come to the banquet. We believe God the Father is present, with Jesus offering Mass through the vestments of the priests. In the presence of the priests, we have the Holy Spirit who made the ceremony so solemn. Sunday is a day to worship God. We believe Mother Mary is beside, testifying to the worship and honor towards the Five Holy Signs. God granted in the work of salvation, to guide the ordinary and commonplace people like us to come to Mother, and together with the saints, the angels, especially St. Joseph, the archangels, and the heavenly court, present in heaven at the sacred banquet every day. Sunday is a day to worship God, to surrender, to submit, to adore, and to honor.

O God, may we have a real sense of daily progress in our lives through each Mass, for us to lift our souls to You, for us to lift all our iniquity, wretchedness, weakness. We need to attend Mass daily to listen to God’s teaching, to live true to God’s word in our lives, to experience the love eternally granted to us. Though over 2,000 years, the sacred and divine Sacrament has become food for the soul, to guide the world, for people to surrender and return to God. Because only that love nourish us, and that is a foundation, a real family that we have in this world, in faith.

O Eucharistic Jesus, we have yet to mention about Your visitation, Your radiance, Your glory, and Your unconditional love for us. So in any situation, our world in faith is never helpless, never disappointed, never hopeless, but always have hope, always have joy, and always have the Supreme Lord who loves and waits. Please help us come to the Eucharistic Jesus, to receive God into our hearts in a worthy way, for our daily lives to rely on the insight in that love to lead us in the midst of life, to be strong and courageous to bear witness to the truth, to live in the truth, and to live in the doctrine imparted daily in our lives through the Good News.

O Eucharistic Jesus, we confess You. The sacredness and the spirituality is still among us, still with the world, still giving us the opportunity, with joy, with hope. Even with extreme suffering,  even when the world changes, God’s love will never change. Those of us who seek to come to Him, believe in Him, have peace and calmness to move forward in life, accept the Way of the Cross, accept the thorny path that we must walk. God came to the world by the Way of the Cross, so when we encounter God and walk on the Way of the Cross, then we will understand the valuable meaning, to inflame and nourish our souls, for us to be worthy to return to God on the day we leave this life, in faithfulness and perseverance. We praise God, the Supreme Lord. May we return with a contrite heart, to be worthy to receive God into our hearts with reverence, with respect, with adoration, and with confession. We ask in the name of the Lord our God. May everyone know, believe, have a viewpoint in faith. With the reverence of both soul and body,

let us learn the way to adore God, to honor God. Through Mother’s teaching, through the Five Holy Signs, through the gift of the Six Kowtows, through the prostration, the submission to the Eucharistic Jesus, we will definitely grow in the life of faith, have a source of comfort, of joy, of happiness, in any situation, to lead us into the light, to push back the darkness in our lives, for us to become mature people, to confess God, to witness for God, worthy to be loved by God. God waits for us to be steadfast in all situations, to believe, to wait for His providence, His arrangement, and His intervention. When the light comes, the darkness will disappear. Believe and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and it will be opened to you. We ask in the name of the Lord, the God of love, the mighty God, the God rich in Divine Mercy. We adore, honor, and thank. May everyone surrender, submit, return to God. We belong to the Third Person of God, we belong to the Eucharistic Jesus. May we understand more and love God more, carry out what God grants and gives to us. May we belong to God.

The Fifth Kowtow, we reverently offer to the Five Holy Signs of Jesus Christ.

O Five Holy Signs, the Five Holy Signs of love, of grace, of the Divine Mercy, of the renewal, of the Resurrection, of the waiting for people to return in hope. The Five Holy Signs will transform mankind with the view in faith, and the Five Holy Signs will exchange for us with a seal in forgiveness. Who has the authority to give? Who has the authority to grant? Who has the authority to risk one’s life to die for mankind to live? Who loves us like the One who sacrificed His life, to die for our human race to live?  Sinners like us do not deserve to live and exist.

O Jesus of the Five Holy Signs, as we enter the meditation, we feel boundless. The book will not be able to write it all, but the soul and the heart will express the mysterious love and the sublime greatness of the Supreme Lord through the Five Holy Signs, lively and deep in the heart, to remind that Jesus did everything for our human race. Today, everything was accomplished and He returned to heaven. The Solemnity of the Ascension reminds us that Jesus ascended to Heaven to prepare a place for the children He loves most, for our Church, for His holy flock. If we rely on what God does, live according to His word, then in this life no one can cause us to be shaken, because we are His messenger, His priest, royalty, which means to be the children of kings. We are the children that Jesus exchanged at the price of Blood. It is thanks to the Blood price of the Lord Jesus that cleansed the sins of the world for us to belong to God through Jesus, to call God the Father Abba. All these things need to be kept in our hearts for us to remember our present positions.

Do not belittle ourselves, do not despise all things. When we live in iniquity, our eyes are dimmed and our lives are surrounded by iniquity, so we do not understand our self-importance granted by God. The Blood price of Jesus granted us life. Today, let us kneel and prostrate ourselves before the Five Holy Signs, then we will understand more deeply the infinite and everlasting Divine Mercy that God the Father bestows to mankind, and that the Lord Jesus Christ, the Savior, immutable, never changes. For He came and accomplished the mission to save us. He returned to heaven. He prepared for us the chairs at the heavenly banquet table. That is definitely a certainty. What we most need to know is whether we are ready and worthy to enter the place that Jesus is preparing? Jesus knew that we were too weak, so He reminded over and again at the Last Supper, as He told the Apostles, “Wait for the Father to send you the Holy Spirit.”

It is the Father’s love with Jesus, to become the Holy Spirit that dwells with us every day until today. All knowledge come from the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit will teach us the great mystery of the Father, the Son and Redeemer. He teaches us to live in the midst of life, teaches us the doctrine and the truth, teaches us to know the life of the light and the darkness that is being destroyed, teaches us wisdom to handle all problems. He teaches us and grants us more strength to step out of the snares of sin that mankind always stumbles upon from the very beginning. He teaches us to know the proof of the salvation that the Lord Jesus brought and the doctrine that is realized in our lives.

O God, it is truly a great marvel. We are nourished by the food for the soul, from Your Body and Blood, through Your Eucharist. We are taught to worship by the example of Mother Mary, a Mother who prayed silently, a Mother who lived an entire life belonging to God, a Mother who was a shining example through the virtue of obedience, who achieved all the holy will of God, a humble Mother who teaches us to pray and live with the inner life. All these good things are arranged through the Five Holy Signs, to remind people of the desire that God wants mankind to know, so that when we look at the Five Holy Signs, we see the proof of the Savior. We cannot err from this belief, we cannot act beyond the viewpoint that caused us to stumble. We worship the gods, we err from the way of the Lord, and we grieve Mother’s Heart.

Mother’s tears well up. Her blood tears still flow, because we stubbornly refuse to acknowledge the Lord Jesus was our Lord, and how much Her Son sacrificed for us to have the Five Holy Signs. The Five Holy Signs are certainly important, imprinted deep in our souls to save us. We must rise from our iniquities and weaknesses. Whatever the circumstances, our only hope is the seal that Jesus imprinted on our souls, to forgive us. Let us be of one accord and unite, never give up, return. Let us be victorious in eliminating the snares of the devil that wants to separate us to make us lose the opportunity to belong to the God of love. He saved us by His excruciating death. The Holy Spirit will never lose when we accept to cooperate with Him. He will help us win, have the strength to return in the prostration and the submission, in a spirit of repentance, in reformation, to glorify and honor the Five Holy Signs with each of our heavenly family.

The teaching in the present life is for us to confess, to return, for God to be the Supreme Being who intervenes to help us get out of the encirclement of snare and death, for us to return to the light. The Lord God alone has the authority to forgive, and rich in Divine Mercy, He accepts and sanctifies us. May everyone unite to ask God to renew the face of the earth. Return in time while the world still has the opportunity. Please do not let it be too late and too tardy. Please save us from the plague of both soul and body. Today, the world is seriously heading into terrible days, preparing for war, which is the third World War. We beseech and entreat for this to not happen, because the world will end up with days that are even worse, miserable, and painful. May God’s holy will be done with what God wants, because God conquered death and gloriously triumphed over the world. Only through the Five Holy Signs do we plead and beseech. God, please save us and grant us victory in the present, to bring back the peace and happiness God grants and gives to us in our return to Him, to glorify Him, to honor Him, to fear Him, to practice His doctrine. We belong to God.

The Fifth Holy Sign, we thank Mother for teaching us to understand this. Today’s weapons are science and technology, through the atomic bombs, the bullets, which are used against each other, but the weapon of our souls is the prayer, the beseeching, the plea, and the faith, for us  to call upon God’s name. We know that God alone is the Savior, who has the authority to intervene and resolve everything as it brought about war and suffering. God will stop things when people come to beseech Him to intervene. There is nothing that God cannot do, because our God always draws a straight line over a crooked one. If we believe in God and turn to Him, He will save us in any situation, because the God of love, the God of the Divine Mercy, and our God is the Supreme Lord full of love. We adore God, praise God, glorify God, and honor God. Please accept our apology through the pleas. God, please forgive us. We represent all classes today, to ask for God to forgive us, for the world to return while time still allows. May we belong to the Five Holy Signs.

The Sixth Kowtow, we reverently offer to the Immaculate Heart of Mary and for Her triumph.

O God the Father, I thank You. Thank You for giving us a special day today to remember the Ascension. The work of the Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son, was completed under the continuation and continuity of the Church to bring the Gospel, for faith to remain.

O Father, You know we are weak. You know it is not easy for us to practice and know the great mysteries You bestow through Jesus. Today, we must remember the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end, which is also the salvation of humanity while we still have days with this hope.

O Father, You choose for us a Mother, today it is Mother Mary who teaches us to return to You in greatest urgency, because no one has the power to resolve all problems when everyone is ready for a terrible war to break out in all regions and countries. People do not believe in God because of a weak life of faith so they caused wars and sufferings. Many centuries passed yet these are still days of war that never end, but the Lord Jesus Christ came to bring peace to mankind. Today is the day over 2,000 years ago when He actually returned to the heavenly kingdom, which is also the day the mission was completed, but the presence remains with the Church, with the faith, with the doctrine that never changes. If we truly believe, practice, and learn, then the world will never have days of war like today. Unfortunately, regrettably, we have been disobedient, rebellious, unjust, and we lived in disobedience, against God’s teaching, so today the world ends up in war, and in suffering with the plague of both soul and body.

O God, how can it be restored? Yet Your love continues to remain with us every day until the end of the age as You once said to the Apostles. You also spoke through the doctrine and daily we hear You through the Gospel. Today, O God, no matter what the circumstances, whatever happens, though we are the little people, no one can prevent the prayer we lift up to You, no one can prevent our faith as we believe there truly is a Supreme Lord God who died for us, loves us, and waits for us. That infinite Divine Mercy continues to give us the opportunity. Today what is it that allows us to have this opportunity? What is to be done to be heard by God? What can we say to be answered by God? Surely there is someone who is worthy. That is Mother Mary.

O God, may we offer to Mother the Sixth Kowtow.  We certainly do not understand what we are doing, but every action has the guidance and teaching of the Holy Spirit. We only practice and pray with the methods of prayer that Mother Mary has taught us for the past six years. What we lift up today is like a voice on behalf of the world, a lively offering in great need to remind people to surrender, to submit, to return to the Lord of love, of victory, of the Divine Mercy, waiting for mankind’s awakening and maturity in faith.

O Mother Mary, a thousand words cannot say all things Mother teaches and helps us to have this day.  Today in these very moments, the Holy Spirit continues to teach us to offer the Sixth Kowtow to Mother’s Immaculate Heart and for Her triumph.

O Mother Mary, Mother of love, Mother of the Divine Mercy, Mother of every human heart, Mother of the Church, Mother of the Savior, Mother of the Risen Lord, Mother of every sinner, every saint, every prisoner, every victim, every patient, every witness, every soul in purgatory. Mother of the Church, Mother of priests and religious, Mother of every soul in purgatory, Mother of every Apostle in every part of the world, Mother of every person affected by the plague of soul and body. Today, we know for sure that only You are the person who help us come to God. Mother is the Mediatrix who brings us to Jesus, and Jesus is the only Mediator to bring us back to God the Father, to meet and receive the Holy Spirit, which is an extremely wonderful blessing in today’s world. Every time we pray, it is not from us knowing this by ourselves, but it is from the prompting and the teaching of the Holy Spirit for us to speak and lift up on behalf of all classes, all roles, in this century of mankind in turmoil.

It is thanks to Mother’s love and intercession for God to forgive and accept our prayers and intercede for us in today’s turbulent world. We truly want to return, but from the government to the society to the country, in all situations, in all places, the days are no longer days of stability, but are replaced by days of turmoil, days of plague, days of trouble, and anti-God doctrines. There are no longer peaceful days. Instead, is instability, insecurity, and many matters to ponder. If people truly do not recognize the doctrine of God, then we are truly lost in the midst of this life, because there is so much influence from people who have positions of power, in the leadership ranks. In a world that depends on the relationship in a collective life, the only thing to set apart is that no one has the right to prevent the love God grants to us, grants to sinners, because He saved us. No one can prevent our love seeking to come to Him.

In the most painful and desperate moments, the most difficult dilemmas, when we are most lonely, we come to God by the prayers that Mother Mary taught us, to beseech God through each Person. This is the time when our human race greatly need the prayer, need the return by a repentant heart, by a true reformation, by penance. We pray to compensate for the times we were indifferent, unfeeling, with the past days in life, because Mother advises, but we certainly did not do or has not yet done, so the world ended up with the standstill, war, suffering, and plague. Today, we know that one person always waits for us, helps us. Mother’s intercession is so valuable for God to save humanity and for God to intervene for us in this generation, for sinners, for penitents, for the little people, and for the victims who beseech God.

Through the teachings of Mother, we see the value of happiness when we are aware and are awakened, because today’s weapon is not the weapon that people use to fight to kill each other. It is a weapon of perseverance and faithfulness, which is prayer, conversion, repentance, which is the key point for God to have mercy and intervene. Only God can solve the situation of today’s world frenzy in sin and death. Only God can save the simple and humble souls. Only God can save the people who believe. Only God can save those who are humble and know how to repent. Only God loves sinners who return and beseech God through a life of amendment. Thus, there is only one Supreme Lord God. It is through Mother’s intercession and teaching, for God to accept, to have mercy, to forgive, to help us prepare for the day when we must face the purification between good and evil, between right and wrong, between truth and falsehood. It is the day we definitely must know, which is the day when the sheep and the goats will be clearly separated. The sheep have their shepherd, and the goats must go to a place that belongs to them.

God is a very benevolent God. Mankind is so wicked, but God is very kind and very just. Thus, we must wait for this day by prayer. Through the intercession of our Mother, we can reduce the chastisement for what we committed, to ask God to forgive and have mercy on humanity, to help us in the plague of both soul and body with the control of the devil in this day and age. We cannot deny this, because we have lost what is fundamental that God granted to us, from the Church to the society, all problems are in a fierce battle between good and evil, and the victory of evil dominates us. Let us not be afraid of evil, let us together in unity embrace the weapon we are so familiar with, a very sharp weapon that will receive tremendous help and support. But it requires the return of mankind by faith and repentance, by earnest prayers from the heart, by tears, with feeling, with emotion, with a true repentance, to believe, to return to the God of love.

Today, what Mother teaches is not too difficult but not too easy. Let us conquer our hearts, continue to be faithful and persevere, remove all ego and personality, live to confess, return to the God of Love and the Divine Mercy. This is the the last opportunity, grab, and accept this gift of the Six Kowtows. Let us not be afraid. Let us not become a habit, but become improved, repentant. Let us accept the riches that God bestows through Mother Mary. Let us all prostrate, adore, confess God. Let us improve and pray by a penance that each one of us needs today, to confess God and follow what God teaches, for us to win the remaining battle of an evil world that is dominating us. Let us not be foolish as in the old days. Let us return while time still allows. Everyone must honor God and present to God an offering, even if it is unworthy and inadequate, but we only have this flawed offering to ask for God’s mercy. May our hearts and souls truly repent, to ask God to restore and intervene for our world that is at war, in the midst of a pandemic. There is still so much suffering and sorrow caused by sin in our foolishness, pride, and arrogance. Let us removed individual rights, turn to holiness, and return to the God of love and Divine Mercy.

O Mother Mary, I thank You for giving us the opportunity to come to St. Joseph. We thank his example and intercession, for each of our families to practice living with faith, learning from his sense of responsibility, learning from his integrity and righteousness. We pray especially for our Church to walk on the path of chastity that he practiced, in a life of obedience. God bestowed to our Church in unity, to care for the holy family that Jesus entrusted to our Church, through the example of St. Joseph, and through his intercession.

We also ask Mother to help us come to the three archangels. We thank the intercession of the three archangels, the intervention of the three archangels. Especially in this day and age, the devil has taken over and we have fallen into his snares. So we thank the help of the three archangels, of the guardian angels,  praying for us, protecting us. We thank the shining example of the saints, for us to walk and move forward in our lives, returning to God with confession, with prayer, with fervent adoration, with love, with a life of conviction, for us to honor God, glorify God, by prayer, with the penance of the soul, with the repentance and contrition, for God to forgive and for heaven to help.

There is nothing more to do, we must beseech heaven in this troubled time. Definitely, there will be help. Heaven will not refuse our pleas. In cooperation and unity, let us deny ourselves for us to pray and confess. God will definitely intervene for the remaining world. There is nothing worthy in a human condition, only the offering of the soul, body, mind, and heart, to belong to God, the merciful Almighty, who forgives, heals, and sanctifies our world. We ask in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, our God, now and for ever and ever.

Lucia and all the brothers and sisters conclude at 1:56, on Sunday May 16, 2021, at St. Theresa church, in front of the sanctuary, the tabernacle, the icon of the Divine Mercy, and the holy statue of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel. With today’s offering, on Sunday, as we lift up to  Jesus, on the Solemnity of the Ascension, may God accept our little offering and remember us, deliver us, save us, in the state of a tense society, with many wars looming, and many problems. God, please save us in a world with days depleted during this pandemic. May God have mercy and accept our prayers. Amen. Amen. Amen.
