Message from Our Lady Queen of Peace to Edson Glauber - Feast of the Holy Name of Mary

It had been several months since Our Lady had last appeared in Itapiranga. As she had asked me, for three months I offered to God the sacrifice of not seeing her. I cried a lot, because the pain I felt in my heart at not seeing her was very great.

No one can imagine this pain and how much this cost me. Sometimes, at dawn, I would get up and go to the altar in the living room at home and fall in tears before her image. I would ask him for the strength to do God's will and to go where he had asked me to offer the sacrifice for the salvation and conversion of souls. The pain I felt was a bit like the pain the damned felt in hell of never being able to see God's beautiful face again and of missing his presence. I suffered to save many souls from the path that leads to hell, for otherwise many souls would suffer much more than I was suffering in the eternal flames away from God and his light.

After the time set by God had passed, by an interior locution, I was told, by God's determination, that I should go to a certain cemetery in the city, before the tomb of Friar Michelangelo, to pray for the souls in purgatory and to ask his intercession with God for the realization of Our Lady's plans and for a certain movement.

Arriving at this cemetery, I just two friends began to pray the rosary and at the end of the last mystery behold, again I could see the beautiful face of Our Lady, who appeared to me accompanied by my brother Quirino, who was on her left and

Friar Michael who was on her right. They both looked beautiful beside Our Lady, but she had greater beauty that cannot be explained in words or that can be imagined. With her maternal and loving gaze, the Holy Virgin said to me,

My children, always pray for the souls in purgatory, for it is an act of mercy to pray for the departed, because God longs that all may be united with him in the glory of paradise. Always come here to this place (cemetery) to pray for the neediest and most abandoned souls. Remember that I taught you this in Itapiranga. See how many souls have been saved with your prayers...

At this moment, there appeared beside and behind Our Lady a great number of souls who had been saved because of our prayers, but also just because she had appeared there at that moment in this cemetery. This scene was very beautiful. All the souls were joyful, dressed in white robes. Our Lady said:

Live my messages. If you listen and live all that I have taught you you will find and walk quickly on the road to holiness and by living holiness, at the end of your lives you will be transported from this world directly to paradise, without passing through purgatory. I thank you for your presence and for your prayers.

My son, I thank you for your correspondence to my appeal. Please know that after this visit of mine, I will come again on September 15, the day when my sorrows are celebrated and remembered. I will come to tell you some secrets from my Heart. Wait for my visit! From this place I bless you and all of humanity: in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
