“…The Oil of May is the Oil of Miracles. The Oil of Healing. The Oil of Liberation.
Oil that liberates. Oil that heals.
Oil that restores and consecrates: the anointing of the Spirit.
Through anointing with the May Oil from the Blessed Garden of the Virgin Mary of Reconciliation, one directly receives the anointing of the Holy Spirit.
You must not always think only of yourselves by bringing just a little oil for yourselves.
You must no longer always think only of yourselves, for this leads to spiritual selfishness as well. You must bring several liters of oil to be blessed by the Virgin of Reconciliation and then bottle this Oil—even personally—to give it to relatives, friends, and the sick.
Many have fallen into spiritual selfishness: they think only of themselves, always and only of their own salvation, their own healing, their own liberation. And they never think of the many people who are falling into ruin.
Many have fallen into the trap of spiritual selfishness, thinking always and only of their own salvation, their own healing, and their own liberation—without considering that there are others who are in a far worse state than they are and who, in any case, must be helped and not condemned, truly helped with fraternal charity.
Donating even a simple bottle of Holy May Oil—the purest olive oil blessed by Our Lady—is an act of charity: it is a true act of charity.
Giving May Oil—the Oil of Miracles—is an act of charity because, through it, these people can receive and obtain graces, healings, and deliverances; consequently, it is a great gift, a great help, a great consolation, and a source of support.
Have you understood the importance of the Holy Oil of May, which the Virgin of Reconciliation has been blessing punctually every May 5 for some time now at the Blessed Garden in Brindisi—New Cana, Little Fatima, Little Lourdes, Refuge of the Chosen Ones of the End Times, Oasis of Divine Consolation, Little Bethlehem, Ark of Salvation?
Have you understood the importance of organizing holy Marian pilgrimages on the 5th of every month, arriving at the Garden at 4:00 p.m. to pray the Holy Rosary?
Have you understood the importance of the salt blessed directly by Saint Michael the Archangel, every September 5th?
And so many, many other graces that, unfortunately, you have not understood. You have not fully understood them.
Many come to the Blessed Garden to receive graces of healing, deliverance, and eternal salvation. All of this is right; it is pleasing to God and to the Blessed Virgin. But we must also pray for others.
Many others come to the Blessed Garden not out of faith, but out of curiosity, and this is absolutely not acceptable.
One comes to the Blessed Garden to pray, to meditate on the Mysteries of the Holy Rosary, to sing, to praise, to do penance, to ask for graces of healing and deliverance, to pray for the physically and spiritually sick, for drug addicts, for everyone. But not to gawk, for curiosity never comes from God.
Curiosity never comes from God.
We must learn to believe without seeing.
Faith, as we always tell you, is the substance of things unseen.
Consequently, we must learn to believe without seeing because, if we need to see in order to believe, it means we do not yet believe. If we always need to see, it means there is no true belief, no true faith, but rather a form of sensationalism: sensationalism passes, but Faith remains.
When you come to the Blessed Garden, just as when you go to any other place of Apparition, you do not go out of curiosity but because you believe. You do not go seeking a sign all the time, because then you fall into sensationalism, which, as I said a moment ago, passes: sensationalism passes, but True Belief and True Faith, on the other hand, remain.
You must purify yourselves!
We must purify ourselves deeply and grow in the true Faith.
We must understand that Faith is truly the Substance of Things Unseen.
We must believe without seeing.
We must purify ourselves from sensationalism, from the desire to always want to see, for Faith has eyes of its own—spiritual eyes, not physical ones, but spiritual ones. We must understand all of this.
Many go to sites of apparitions merely out of curiosity and leave feeling emptier than before.
Many go to sites of apparitions in search of who knows what great signs, falling into fleeting sensationalism.
Few, however, truly go out of Faith because they believe: they may even receive some sign, but they already believe.
Many come to places of apparitions only to seek who knows what great sign, falling into sensationalism. Then, they are disappointed and disappear.
So often, graces are not obtained because people pray poorly.
Very often, graces are not obtained because people pray poorly, pray too little, or pray distractedly; because there is no true faith, because there is only sensationalism.
Many other times, graces are not obtained because people go to sites of false apparitions; therefore, by going to sites of false apparitions, false missions, and false prophetic revelations, it is clear that nothing is obtained.
Years go by and nothing is obtained, because there is nothing there: since there is no true divine presence, no true spiritual manifestation of the Heavenly Court, nothing is obtained.
Rightly, the soul wonders why true healing or true liberation does not occur; rightly, rightly, an intelligent person asks themselves some questions.
Quite rightly, a person who for years goes to a place of apparitions, prays—perhaps even prays well—yet receives no grace, wonders why they do not receive it.
I repeat: so often grace does not come because one prays poorly, prays too little, or because it is not a place of true apparitions.
So often it does not come because the Lord wishes to test you. And He leaves you the gift of the Holy Cross.
Very often, the Lord leaves you with pain, suffering, illness—a thorn in your side—as a gift, a gift of sanctification. You’ve never thought of it that way.
Many people think that when they don’t receive graces, it’s only because they pray poorly, pray too little, don’t truly believe, or because it isn’t a genuine apparition site. But, very often, these can be places of true apparitions where, even though people pray well, grace does not come because they must carry a cross.
There are various truths: everyone, of course, will believe in the truth that suits them best, but, obviously, the truth is always in God’s hands. Everyone believes and will believe in the truth that suits them best.
There are souls for whom it is convenient to believe that grace did not come because it was all a lie.
There are souls who, on the other hand, believe that grace did not come—and does not come—because they pray poorly or do not believe enough.
There are those who are more intelligent and who also think this, and it is a great truth: that grace does not come because the Lord loves to crown His Chosen Ones with thorns.
The Cross is also a Gift from God for one’s own sanctification.
Obviously, I repeat, everyone will believe what they want: there are those who, in truth and in good conscience, will arrive at the true Truth; there are others, however, who will offer their own explanation, their own justification, which does not correspond to the truth.
Good souls, the righteous, and those with upright consciences will arrive at the true Truth as to why they do not receive graces; others, however, will offer explanations that suit their own convenience but do not, in the end, correspond to the truth.
There are various reasons why one does not receive many graces.
There are those who certainly pray poorly or pray too little. There are those who have little faith and delude themselves into thinking they believe; therefore, grace does not come. In many cases, however, grace does not come because you must carry the Cross, you must embrace the Cross, and you must sanctify yourself as you walk this path.
“But I don’t want the heavy Cross”—you must carry it anyway.
“But I don’t want this Cross and I don’t like it; I don’t want it, I didn’t seek it out, I didn’t desire it.” But no one seeks or desires a Cross. You come across the Cross, you embrace it, and you carry it with love. No person, no soul wants a Cross; no one desires to carry the Cross, but the Cross is there nonetheless, and it is visible.
So, all this means that the Cross is not something you seek but something you find in your own life; you don’t seek it: you can accept it or not, but in any case, the Cross is there. The Cross remains.
The Cross is among you, as we always tell you from Heaven: the Cross is among you.
Many think that the Cross is a curse from God. But, on the contrary, it is a blessing; it is a Gift from the Almighty Father for your sanctification.
“But I don’t like this Cross”—you have to carry it anyway. Resign yourself to it, maintain a spirit of resignation, and carry it. But now, I’m deluding myself into thinking I’m healed: don’t delude yourself into thinking you’re healed because we know you’re not healed. If you delude yourself, it’s worse because if you do, you’ll wake up the next day and the Cross will still be right beside you.
Don’t delude yourselves. Don’t delude yourselves.
The Cross is among you…”
