If only you knew how much I desire to be known, loved and honoured by men with a special devotion! I have had this desire for all eternity and since the creation of the first man. I have expressed this desire to men at various times, especially in the Old Testament. But man has never understood it. Now this desire makes Me forget all the past, if only it can become a reality now, in My creatures all over the world. I am stooping down to the poorest of My creatures to talk to her, and through her, to all men, even though she cannot realize the grandeur of the work I wish to accomplish among them. I cannot talk of theology with her, I would be sure to fail, for she would not understand Me. I am doing this in order to realize My plan through simplicity and innocence. But now it is your turn to examine this work and bring it to a speedy fulfillment.
To be known, loved and honoured with a special devotion, I do not ask for
anything extraordinary. I desire only this:
1) I desire that one day, or at least a Sunday, be dedicated to honouring Me in a special way under the title of Father of all Mankind. For this feast, I would like a special Mass and Office. It is not difficult to find the texts in the Holy Scriptures. If you prefer to offer Me this special devotion on a Sunday, I choose the first Sunday of August. If you prefer a weekday, I would like it to be always the seventh day of that same month.
2) I desire that all the clergy should undertake to promote this devotion and, most of all, to make Me known to men as I am and as I will always be for them, that is to say, the most tender and the most lovable of all fathers.
3) I desire them to bring Me into all families, hospitals, laboratories, workshops, barracks, conference halls of the ministers of nations - in short, wherever My creatures are, even if there were only one of them! I desire that the tangible sign of My invisible presence be a picture to show that I am really present. Thus, all men will carry out all their actions under their Father’s gaze and I Myself will have before Me the creature that I have not only created but adopted. In this way, My children will be, as it were, under their tender Father’s gaze. Even now I am everywhere, certainly, but I would like to be represented in a tangible way!
4) I desire that during the year the clergy and the faithful should perform some acts of piety in My honour, without detriment to their usual occupations. Let My priests go fearlessly everywhere, among all nations, to bring the flame of My fatherly love to men. Then souls will be enlightened and conquered, not only among unbelievers, but in all those sects which are not of the true Church. Yes, I want these men also, who are My children, to see this flame shining before them, to know the truth, to em-brace it and to put all the Christian virtues into practice.
5) I would like to be honoured in a very special way in seminaries, in novitiates, in schools and homes for the elderly. May everyone, from the youngest to the oldest, be able to know and love Me as their Father, Creator and Saviour.
6) Let priests set about seeking in the Holy Scriptures what I said in former times and what has remained un-known up to now concerning the worship I wish to receive from men. May they work to make My desires and My will known to all men, specifying what I wish to say to people in general and to priests, monks and nuns in particular. Those souls are the ones I choose, more than others in the world, to pay Me great homage. Of course, it will take time to realize completely these desires that I have for mankind and which I have revealed to you! But one day, through the prayers and sacrifices of generous souls who will give themselves for this work of My love, yes, one day I will be satisfied. I will bless you, My beloved son, and I will reward you a hundredfold for all that you will do for My glory

The first thing that strikes me is that He tells the Pope, that is, each and every Pope since that time, that “It should rank first among all your tasks and, because of the fear inspired in men by the devil, it will be accomplished only at this time.” Since the devil inspired fear of the Father it is the devil who opposes this devotion since it was given precisely to end this fear of the Father so that His children could return to Him and see Him as a true Father, a Father who is love, and mercy, gentle yet firm, kind, just, all powerful and all good, generous, forgiving, patient, understanding of our human frailty in general and our weaknesses in particular and where they come from. He is true, honest, never deceptive, willing to endure any hardship for our good, to give without asking anything in return. He is life, freedom, more trusting of us than we are of ourselves, faithful, more nurturing than a mother with an infant, more trustworthy and dependable than the most just and hardest working man; He who knows you better than you know yourself.
How can all these things be true, how can I know them to be true? Think of all of the best qualities in men and women and children that you have ever known or even heard of in the life of the saints. Where do you imagine they came from? From their severe penances? Their heroic sufferings? Their numerous acts of charity? Their religious training? Their academic studies? They came from God who is infinite in all of these traits. God, who gave them as a grace for each soul’s good and consequently for the good of those they would affect. For we do not and can not buy His graces. We can only dispose ourselves well to receive them for when He decides to give them. That is what prayer does. Prayer opens our hearts to receive love and the graces that He gives are born out of the love that He has for us and the desire that He has to grow us into the image and likeness of God that He created us to be.
He is coming exactly to counter the tragedy of man not yet knowing and believing these things even after 2000 years of Christianity. He is coming to intervene in a time where man no longer knows how to seek His God. No longer knows how to seek his good. No loner knowing that God is his good or that God is where all things good come from.
Men. Children of God. Who told you that God is your abuser? Who told you that God is the cause of suffering, pain, harm and ruin in your life? Why trust that voice? It is the same voice that tells you to do harm to yourself. It is the same voice that tells you that you are not lovable, not wanted, not good enough to be called to holiness, to a life of union with God; that God doesn’t need your love, that you can’t make a difference, that your not smart enough, can’t speak well enough, aren’t talented enough, that there are far better candidates to be used by God for a higher purpose than you. Mother Eugenia did not know theology as Father states, and yet God used her to dictate to us the greatest theological work ever, imbuing in her the understanding of it all so that she spent the rest of her life living it. You don’t need gifts and talents to serve God, He can give them to you for the purpose that He chooses you for. You don’t need gifts and talents to serve God, anymore than we need to serve God to get Him to love us, As St. John says, not that we love God but that He first loved us. He can give them to you for the purpose that He chooses you for. Jesus said that He could make the very stones cry out if men would not give Him the glory that He is due. He is certainly capable of forming us into the image of God that He created us to be. If we are who we are meant to be, we will certainly do what we are meant to do and it will come from within since being is a precursor to doing and therefore our doing ought to flow from our being as is rightly ordered according to how God made us.
Let us continue to give our whole selves in our Consecration, that He may be our everything, that He may do everything in us, that He may accomplish everything through us. FIAT!
