"Be converted. Make that known
to all my children as quickly as possible.
No pain, no suffering is too great to me in order to save you.
I will pray to my Son not to punish the world; but I beseech you, be converted.
You cannot imagine what is going to happen, nor what the Eternal Father will send to earth.
That is why you must be converted! Renounce everything. Do penance. Express my
acknowledgements to all my children who have prayed and fasted.
I carry
all this to my Divine Son in order to obtain an
alleviation of His justice
against the sins of
mankind. I thank the people who have prayed
and fasted.
Persevere andf help me to convert the world."
