To All Abbacasita members and Guests. We are glad you are here and WELCOME!
He has asked His consecrates to be "Transformers' (we offer to Him all we absorb (experience and suffer..) and HE transforms) and has announced that by this means He will transform all things and come to us in a new way and dwell "in" and "with' us. It is a further understanding of how Mary's Immaculate Heart will triumph in these times and foretold at Fatima that an Era of Peace would be granted to the world for a time. It is the fulfillment of Jesus desire to return God's children back to God the Father. We give ourselves to the Blessed Virgin and She takes us to Jesus, Who brings us to God the Father through the Holy Spirit. When we consecrate ourselves and rededicate our temples, we share with the Father in this great work of being transformers of His Fatherly Goodness and Mercy, usher in a New Era of God our Father and THAT is why, particularly, Abba Father and all of Heaven, rejoice that you are here and listening. He tells Barbara we are to "come as you are". This consecration and Feast day is foremost on His Heart and the means by which He desires to return to His children! So, just let that settle in your heart for a bit.
This website is dedicated to the words of God the Father to M. Eugenia Ravasio and Barbara Rose Centilli. In the 1990's, Towards the end of her life, God the Father began to continue the work He started with M. Eugenia and further develop it in what we have so far, a 700 page dialogue (Seeing With the Eyes of the Soul) with Barbara Rose. M. Eugenia's messages have church approval status through her local bishop after a ten year investigation and Barbara's have s forward assuring "free form doctrinal error" from Fr. Richard Foley S.J.
This post is composed of random thoughts, reflections and excerpts until the last couple of years when we began to chronologically post both books with a meditation. We are not affiliated personally with Barbara. We are consecrates living and promulgating this privileged "final" devotion which we, at "Sons and Daughters of the Blessed Virgin" discovered in 2005 and launched.
Peace and Blessings as we anticipate the Father coming to us and being with and in us in a NEW WAY!
“SCAPULAR OF GOD OUR FATHER: THE OFFERING CLOTH.”
December 4, l996:
... I (Barbara) prayed the Rosary (Joyful Mysteries). And when I was praying the third decade, I experienced, inside me, my maternal grandmother hanging up laundry in a bright, clear light and it was so beautiful. And she said she was sorry I had to suffer with my condition, and then she said God had heard my prayers. And then I realized that THE SHEET WAS MY SOUL and it had been purified clean. And she asked if I loved God and I said yes”. And I cried and cried because I believed what I was experiencing was really real, and it was so overwhelming. And then I saw my father’s mother and I cried because she, too, loved me so much and had been suffering with me. And I cried because I’m not used to feeling so unconditionally loved by human beings. And it eased my burden, that they cared so much. And then a voice said “You will see everything differently now.” ...
I was asked by my father’s mother if I loved God and I said “Yes .” And then Mary, our Mother, came out from behind a sheet. (It’s like the three ladies were “tending” the sheets hanging in the bright sunlight.) And I loved my mother, Mary, so much and she confirmed that God had answered my prayer and she, too, asked if I really loved Him and I said “Yes .” She said this was a special day.
He (the Father) asked me to put out my hand, and I thought He would put the “symbol” in it which He spoke of yesterday. He said I was now truly His because I had given myself to Him. Now I had done this before, and I didn’t understand why this was different. The only thing I can think of is that I did it following the Rosary and my sheet [soul] was finally clean. He asked me never to lose Him as He would never lose me.
And then I realized that “the symbol” was the sheet. A little white linen to be blessed and held in our hand symbolically to God to offer ourselves to Him and remind us of the need to be purified. The sheet symbolizes our purified souls given in offering to the Father (an “Offering Cloth”). He asked me to put out my opened hand which symbolized opening myself to Him and He put His Hand in mine. We were joined. His Hand was in mine; He was embraced by me; He was in me. This symbolizes the offering of our souls to Him. When we do this, He will purify our souls and come and dwell in us—personally. The medal shows His Love for us—a roadmap back home to Him, and the Offering Cloth shows our love for Him—the total offering of ourselves.
I also understand that the Holy Spirit now dwelt in me and where God is, evil cannot be. And I saw the Ark of the Covenant inside Man. God dwells in us through the Holy Spirit. Jesus, the Holy Spirit, and our Father are “other” than us, but in us. I believe we are to distribute blessed linens (white scapulars) that people can hold in their hand and offer to God—something concrete that they can see. This will help them to understand that we all must be purified—not to punish us, but to prepare us for God. And that our loved ones that go before us, tend to us, pray for us until we are clean and back home with our Father. ...
The Father: I have answered your prayer for My greater glory—and out of love for you. Go and spread My message—encourage dialogue among My children.
[This happened on the former feast day of St. Barbara.]
Lord God, My Father, what do You want, if anything, on the Offering Cloth?
Nothing. They are to be clean and white. They may be laundered. They are to be blessed and can be worn close to the body except during the daily offering when it should be held in their open hand.
“SCAPULAR OF GOD OUR FATHER: THE OFFERING CLOTH.”
THE MEDAL SHOULD BE WORN AS AN OUTWARD SIGN TO ALL MY CHILDREN.
The Offering Cloth should be worn next to the heart, as a scapular, and held in the hand during prayer of offering to Me. It should be kept white and clean as a symbol—a visual aid of what the soul should be. These should be blessed— especially at the Solemn Consecration.
You are doing fine. There is nothing to fear. All is well and is in My Will. I will protect you. Feel the joy! ...

Bromar4. Reflection:
First I am struck by Barbara saying that she is not used to being unconditionally loved by human beings. An extremely sad commentary, but one I am sure we can all identify with to some degree.
The love of God is so powerful, it makes us want to be better. Not because we feel threatened or fear punishment but because to feel that love has the fruit of wanting to experience it more and more. That is why Jesus said , “he who eats of Me will hunger still and he who drinks of Me will thirst for more.” Just as hatred begets hatred, violence begets violence, and sin begets sin; love begets love and virtue begets virtue. That is why Father chooses to give His calling out of love, and grants that love to be experienced, so that the person receiving the call, while retaining their free will, has the strongest of motivations to make the choice to give their fiat. As St. John says in his epistle, “not that we love God, but that He first loved us.” Our love for God is always a response to His love for us. He is the creator, the first cause, the prime mover. And, “if the Lord does not build the house, in vain do it’s builders labor.”
I am also struck by Father desiring a scapular/offering cloth to represent our offering of our selves to Him. He wants us to not only experience that He gives Himself to us but that we give ourselves to Him, not only His love for us but our love for Him. It is important for every child to be able to experience that their love for their parents is accepted. We are His children and it is important for us to experience that He accepts our love, our offering, that our love for Him matters to Him.
It is interesting that He would like the medal to be seen a sign to all His children, but the Offering Cloth is to be worn but not seen. Love is intimate, and intimacy ought to be private. The offering of oneself to another as a self gift, is sacred. And when that other is God, even more so. While we are to allow our light to be seen, that men may see our good deeds and give glory to God, it should not be misinterpreted, misunderstood or confused with intimate prayer of which He said, “go to your inner room, and there pray to your Father in secret, and your Father who sees in secret, will repay you.”
And I love and repeat how He ends this dialogue:
You are doing fine. There is nothing to fear. All is well and is in My Will. I will protect you. Feel the joy! ...
