Heaven has through the mystics and the

Saints constantly told us that we have

veed away from the true sacrifice which

the mass is supposed to be but Catholics

are not listening to God anymore

they call it the the mass the concept of

worship without sacrifice has crept

passion and death of

Jesus it is not not a social

gathering this testimony by the Spanish

lady cathalina which is a series of

experiences that heaven deemed fit to

give to her will explain further and

will make us understand fully what we're

doing at

Mass We Begin she said in a marvelous

catecheses the Lord and the Virgin Mary

have been instructing us first on how to

pray the rosary that being to pray it

with our hearts and meditate and enjoy

the moments when we encounter God and

our Blessed

Mother they have also instructed us on

the way to make a good

confession and in this narrative a

teaching of what happens during the holy

of the hands that have the power to

bring him to our world so that he can

become our

nourishment it is also given for others

so that they break loose of the routine

practice of receiving him and relief the

amazement of their daily encounter with

love and it is given so that my lay

brothers and sisters from the entire

world live the greatest Miracle with

their hearts the celebration of the

Eucharist it was the vigil of the

Annunciation and the members of our

group had gone to the sacrament of

reconciliation some of the ladies of the

prayer group group had not been able to

do it and so they left their

reconciliation for the next day before

the

mass when I arrived at church the next

day a little bit late the Archbishop and

priest were already coming out of the

Sacristy the Virgin Mary said with a

soft and feminine voice that sweetens

the

soul today is the day of learning for

you

and I want you to pay close attention

because of what you'll witness

today everything that you'll experience

today you'll have to share with all of

humanity I was deeply moved without

understanding why but I tried to be very

attentive the first thing I noticed was

a choir of very beautiful voices that

was sing singing as if it was far

[Music]

away for a moment the music came closer

and then it went further away like the

sound of the

[Music]

[Music]

wind the Archbishop started the

mass and when he reached the penitential

r

the Blessed Virgin said from the bottom

of your

heart ask the Lord to forgive your

faults that have offended

him in this way you'll be able to

participate wordily in this privilege of

assisting at the Holy

[Music]

Mass I thought for a fraction of a

second surely I'm in a state of grace of

God I went to confession last night

she

answered do you think that since last

night you have not offended the

Lord let me remind you of a few things

when you left to come here the girl who

helps you approached to ask you for

something as you were late and in a

hurry you did not answer her in a very

nice

way there was lack of Charity in your

part

and you say you have not offended

God while on the way here a BS crushed

over your lane and almost hit

you you expressed yourself in a very

non-advised way against that poor

man instead of saying your prayers and

preparing yourself for

Mass you have failed in charity and lost

your peace and patience

and you

say you have not heard the

Lord you arrived at the last minute when

the procession of the

celebrant is already coming to celebrate

the

mass and you are going to

participate without previous

[Music]

preparation I replied all right my

mother say no more you do not have to

remind me more of those things because

I'm going to die of grief and

shame why must you all arrive at the

last

moment you should have arrived earlier

to be able to pray and ask the Lord to

send his holy spirit so that he may

Grant you a spirit of peace and cleanse

you of the spirit of the world your

worries your problems and your

distractions so as to enable you to live

this sacred

moment

however you arrive almost when the

celebration is about to commence and you

participate as if it is an ordinary

event without any spiritual

preparation why this is the greatest of

Miracles you're going to live the moment

when the most high God gives his

greatest

gift and you do not know how to

appreciate

it this was enough

I felt so bad that I had more than

enough to ask for forgiveness from

God it was not only for the offense of

that day but also for all the times like

so many other people I had waited for

the priest to finish his homy before

entering the

church it was also for the times that I

did not know or refuse to understand

what it meant to be there and for the

times that perhaps my soul was full of

more serious

sins and I had dared to participate in

the Holy

Mass it was a feast day and the glor was

about to be

[Music]

recited our lady

said glorify and bless with all your

love the Holy Trinity

in your acknowledgment of being one of

its

[Music]

creatures how different was that

Gloria suddenly I saw myself in a far

off Place full of light before the

Majestic presence of the Throne of

God with so much love I went on thanking

him as I

repeated for your immense Glory we

praise you we bless you we adore you we

give you glory we give you thanks Lord

God Heavenly King God the Father

Almighty and I recalled the paternal

face of the father full of

kindness Lord Jesus Christ only son of

the father Lord God Lamb of God you take

away the sins of the

[Music]

world and Jesus was in front of me with

that face full of tenderness and

mercy for you alone are the Holy One for

you alone are the Lord you alone are the

most high Jesus Christ with the Holy

Spirit the god of beautiful

love he who at that moment caused my

whole being to

tremble and I

asked Lord Lord deliver me from all evil

spirits my heart belongs to you my lord

send me your peace so that I can gain

the finest benefits from the

Eucharist and that my life may produce

the best

fruits holy spirit of God transform me

act Within Me Guide

Me Oh

God give me the gifts that I need to

serve you

[Music]

better the moment of the Liturgy of the

word arrived and the Virgin Mary made me

[Music]

repeat

Lord today I want to listen to your word

and produce abundant fruit

may your Holy Spirit clean the interor

of my heart so that your word grows and

develops in it purifying my heart so

that it may be well

disposed our lady

said I want you to be attentive to the

readings and to all the homy of the

priest remember that the Bible says that

the word of God does not return without

bearing

fruit if you are

attentive something from all that you

heard will remain in

you you should try to recall all day

long those words that left an impression

on

you sometimes it may be two

verses other times the reading of the

entire gospel or perhaps only one

word Savor them for the rest of the day

and it will then become part of you

because this is the way to change one's

life by allowing the word of God to

transform

you and now tell the Lord that you're

here to listen that you want him to

speak to your heart

today

once again I thank God for giving me the

opportunity to hear his word and I asked

him for forgiveness for having had such

a hard heart for so many years and for

having taught my children that they had

to go to mass on Sundays because it is

commanded by the church and not for love

and they need to be filled with

God I had attended so many Eucharistic

celebrations mostly out of obligation

and because of this I believed I was

saved but I did not live it and much

less did I pay attention to the readings

or the priest's

homy how much pain I felt for so many

years of needless loss because of my

ignorance how superficial is our

attendance and mass when we go only

because someone is getting married

or for a funeral mass or because we have

to be seen by

Society how much ignorance about our

church and the

sacrament how much waste in trying to

instruct and Enlighten ourselves about

the things of the world which in a

moment can disappear leaving us with

nothing and at the end of our life not

serve to extend a minute to our

existence however we know nothing of

that that which will give us a little of

Heaven on Earth and afterwards eternal

life and we call all ourselves cultured

men and

women

and the holy virgin

said pray like

this and I repeated after

her Lord I offer all that I am all that

I have and all I can I put everything

into your

hands Build It Up Lord with the little

thing that I am by the merits of your

son transform me God

Almighty I petition you for my family

for my benefactors for each member of

our apostolate and for all the people

who fight against us for those who

commend themselves to our poor

prayers teach me to lay down my heart as

if on the ground before them so that

their walk may be less

severe this is how the Saints prayed

this is how I want all of you to do

it thus this is how Jesus asks us to

pray that we put our hearts as if on the

ground so that they do not feel its

severity but rather that we alleviate

the pain of their

steps years later I read the book of

prayers of a saint whom I loved dearly

hos Maria escript

balager and in that book I found a

prayer similar to that which the Virgin

taught me perhaps this saint to whom I

entrust

myself pleased the Virgin Mary with

these

[Music]

prayers suddenly some characters whom I

had not seen before began to stand

up it was as if from the side of each

person present in the cathedral another

person emerged and soon the cathedral

became full of young beautiful people

they were all dressed in very white

robes and they started to move into the

central aisle and then went towards the

altar our mother

said

observe they are the guardian angels of

each of the persons who are

here

I was completely astonished because

these beings are such beautiful faces so

radiant as one is unable to

imagine their countenance were very

beautiful with almost feminine faces

however the structure of their body

their hands and their height were

masculine

their naked feet did not touch the floor

but rather they went as if

gliding that procession was

very are the guardian angels of the

people who are offering this Holy Mass

for many

intentions those who are conscious of

what this celebration

means they have something to offer the

[Music]

Lord

interest in living each lurgical moment

of the mass and they have no gift to

carry before the altar of the Lord

at the end of the procession came other

Angels who were rather sad with their

hands joined in prayer were with their

eyes

downcast these are the Angels of the

people who are here but do not want to

be that is to say of people who have

been forced to come here who have come

out of

obligation but without any desire to

participate in the Holy Mass

the Angels go forth sadly because they

have nothing to carry to the altar

except their own

prayers do not sadden your guardian

angels ask for much ask for the

conversion of Sinners for peace in the

world for your families your neighbors

for those who ask for your

prayers ask ask much but do not not only

ask for yourselves but for everyone

else remember that the offering which

much pleases the Lord is when you offer

yourselves as a holocaust so that Jesus

upon his descent May Transform You by

his own

merits what do you have to offer the

father by

yourselves nothing and

sin but the offering of oneself United

in the merits of Jesus says that

offering is pleasing to the

father that sight that procession was so

beautiful that it would be difficult to

compare it to any

other all these Celestial creatures

bowing before the altar some leaving

their offerings on the floor others

prostrating themselves on their knees

with their foreheads almost touching the

floor as soon as they arrived at the

altar

they would disappear from my

sight the final moment of the preface

arrived and when the assembly

said holy holy

[Music]

holy

suddenly everything that was behind the

CBR disappeared behind the left side of

the Archbishop thousands of angels

appeared in a diagonal line angels with

immense wings angels with small wings

angels without

wings as the previous ones all were

dressed with tunics like the white Robes

of the priests or alar

boys everyone knelled with their hands

United in prayer and bowed their heads

in

reverence beautiful music was heard as

if there were many choirs with different

voices all singing in unison together

with the

[Music]

people

[Music]

what Sublime Revelations about what

really happens at mass now all this is

to enable us to understand what is

really going on at mass that mass is not

the physical things you see there are a

lot of spiritual and invisible things
