Feast of Saint Augustine of Hippo
It is never too late to discover God, for He is always present, waiting for us and offering us His Mercy so that we may finally enter into True Life in God.
And, from Saint Augustine:
“Very late have I loved You, Beauty ancient and yet so new. You were within me, and I was outside, searching for You.” (An invitation to read his entire prayer.)

Here are two events in my life that gave me the opportunity to come to know God better in His Infinite and Immeasurable Love , which saves us, and to realize the Immeasurable suffering we inflict upon our God , through our carelessness and self-centeredness.
Here is the first event:
"My eyes weep of their own accord"
Let’s call him Étienne, this two-and-a-half-year-old boy whose mother was killed while he lay in bed, unable to sleep, waiting for her to return.
She was coming back from doing her weekend shopping.
He heard it all: the gunshot, the alarms, the neighbors, the police, and the commotion surrounding his father’s arrest! Étienne didn’t understand, and he never saw her again—the one who was so precious and so dearly loved, the one he had been hoping for!
Amid all the demands that such a situation entails, here is this child standing before me. He is already “conditioned” to stay quiet, to not cause a disturbance. So, in order to hide his grief and be the sensible big boy, while we were playing a game and having a conversation to foster calm and trust, he turned his beautiful, pure face—the face of a distraught child—toward me, and, apologizing, he said:
"My eyes are crying on their own."
This is the submission of the strong child—alone, abandoned in the face of human horror and stupidity—and his distress at now being “controlled” by the benevolent authority that coldly “protects” him during the crisis of his family’s disaster in his early life.
Today, forty years (or more) after that incident, the child’s words remain in my memory.
It’s Thursday; here on Thursdays there is adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. I prostrate myself and, as soon as the Blessed Sacrament is exposed, I feel a powerful grip and a torrent of tears. I perceive the Host, the Real Presence, darkened by the shame of desecration, and it seems as though the Light is dimmed by what looks like spiderwebs. I say to the Lord, experiencing the current conditions in the unrighteous Church and the mistreatment of the Real Presence: “I am here, Lord, and I know You are here, suffering in Your Love. This is truly a tragedy not understood by all.”
"Oh, Lord, my eyes weep of their own accord!"
The Word of Jesus Christ:
"But you, My sweet beloved, you are not alone. You share My tears; you are the balm that soothes My pain.
Look at Mary, My Mother, always united with My Cross. Beloved Mother of all My priests, Mother of My Church, and of all God’s children. She, too, suffers and desires to protect you from the cruelty of the horrible and impious manipulations of the usurpers who are altering My Church, thereby seeking the spiritual death of all those who obey their rules.
My Mother, Rosa Mystica, sheds tears of blood that manifest her Love and protection toward her Son and for all of you, wounded children of God.
My courageous children, be My partners at the Cross as well, so that you may reach out to and support, in Love and divine Mercy, My little ones—innocent and vulnerable—in the face of the abominations of the works of the cunning counterfeiter who knows how to blind people in order to better destroy them.
Pray for those who know the truth and suffer, yet who give up and deny it, choosing to endure in silence and to be part of the mindless crowd that follows wherever it is led.
Pray that you may remain strong in Faith and Hope, and that your prayers may reach the priests, who, thus supported, may rediscover the strength of their ministry.
Soon the warriors of evil will deny the value of the Eucharist and block all access to the Perpetual Sacrifice.
In this imposed world, willed without God… and accessible, you will no longer be able to waver regarding your choice and your condition in this society of the depraved and the dominant: either you must hide and protect your brothers, or accept their rules so that you may then—as will be the case for all—take the path destined for you as a consequence of your choices and in accordance with the messages and directives received, whose arrival you have helped bring about.
Mary, Co-Redemptrix, and My chosen ones will bear the Tears of Blood for you. They are Love, Mercy, compassion, and support for your Salvation.
Stand in solidarity with them and pray these prayers that oppose the onslaught of the enemies of Christ (Antichrist) and of hell, who are now relentlessly engaged in works of destruction against My Banner, which signifies Divine Victory throughout the centuries of humanity’s evolution toward Redemption—a process that Evil has always sought to hinder.
I took up the Cross to save all of humanity, throughout time and space. My children, love and revere My Cross, from which, in these End Times, they seek to strip you of all its merits and your Redemption.
For you who love with a sincere and intense love, and in your suffering at seeing Love thus mistreated and insulted in Its Supreme Sacrifice, realize how immeasurable Divine Love is. May you be filled, in your perseverance and faithfulness, with revelations that bring you closer to God.
Thus, close to God, you will also understand that I am the Christ, I suffer as you do and for you because of this situation that has befallen the Church and each one of you, and I experience My suffering in proportion to My divine nature and My Love, and therefore immeasurably.
O people, beloved children of God, you have, through your free will, the power to counter Evil. This choice is yours; open your hearts and choose the guidance of God’s Love, in His Holy Spirit, rather than the destructive hatred and jealousy of the fallen spirit, which has but one goal: the eternal death of your soul and your enslavement in its lair.
Yes, My children, I love you, and I will call out to you until you give a clear and definitive answer—which I hope will be in favor of your Eternal Life in God.
May you be blessed by the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
Jesus Christ"
Marie Catherine of the Redemptive Incarnation, a humble servant in the Divine Will of the Almighty, the One God.
