First Anniversary of the End of the Work, 9:50 a.m.
Amidst waves of very intense fragrances which have been succeeding each other since last evening and throughout the night until now, Mary said:
“My daughter, the very roses of Eternal Love, from the Annunciation to the Assumption, were a thorn bush for me. For this reason, in your thorn bush, be content, considering that you are like your Mother and your Queen. Only after finishing time do we pick from the bush, changed into a rush bush, eternal roses yielding just ineffable, inexpressible, perennial joy.
“Pray a great deal. That my Epiphany may shine everywhere, attracting innumerable spirits to the Star of God, and my Pentecost may be fulfilled and the hearts of men may be renewed, bringing peace to the Church and the world, salvation to men in this life and the other, and glory to God. Do not be astonished at anything extraordinary that may happen to you in May. I want to compensate you spiritually for so much. But seek solitude, for the veil extended over the mysteries of Love may not be lifted in the presence of all, but only in the presence of those who are allowed by Infinite Love to see, savor, and know....
“Remain in ardent expectation in your minimal cenacle, as I did in ours. Love and pray.”
