Our Lady comes as Our Lady of Lourdes. She says: “Praise be to Jesus.”

“On this date so many decades ago, I established contact with My Visionary, Bernadette, in a very unlikely place – a garbage dump. My seer was unsophisticated and unimportant in the eyes of the world, yet I used her simplicity to uncover a healing spring through which many miracles have been granted.”

“Here* at this site I am using a seer** also inadequate in the eyes of the world – weak and frail – uneducated in the faith. At Lourdes I asked for penance. Here I ask for penance, prayer and sacrifice. I give you here a spring, as well. It is the Lourdes of this hemisphere – just as powerful and miraculous as the one so far away in France.”

“Bernadette's apparitions were investigated with open-mindedness. Here, from the onset, the attitude was one of negativity. All aspects were reviewed without fairness or the motive of discovering the Truth. The profound Messages were never really studied or even considered.”

“I do not choose haphazardly where I appear. Jesus sends Me.”

“He sent Me here amidst the abuse of authority and the compromise of Truth to challenge hearts and expose evil and to strengthen and protect the faith. I am doing all My Son asks. Here it is a great battle, but it must be fought for the sake of souls.”

“Just as Lourdes was a dumping ground, there is much spiritual refuse here. We are cleaning up what is useless and even harmful through your prayers and sacrifices. Therefore, do not be discouraged. When evil is exposed, it gives us the opportunity to present the Truth.”

“Jesus allows Me to continue to support you in this on-going battle.”
