was pronounced by the Angel Gabriel, we are not
coming out of the context of the Bible. Rather, these
parts are taken from the Bible and the Holy Spirit
inspires people to pray, to meditate. The Rosary is a
meditation.”
What is going on with Ecumenical Movements? Are they
progressing?
“There are always dialogues, it has always been and
is still continuing. People in some countries do not
know what Ecumenism is. People are not informed,
some Catholics do not know anything about what
is Orthodox. There is ignorance of each other’s
Traditions, for example, the Sacraments. And also the
Orthodox do not know anything about the Catholics;
they ask, do they have Holy Communion? They are
unfortunately taught that all Catholics are heretics.
To cure this plague, the Patriarch and Metropolitans
could perhaps go on TV and inform the nation of the
truth.”
What about the condemnation of female visionaries?
“Wherever in history have visionaries been accepted?
Never! It will always be the same.”
How can one convince Clergy who forbid their faithful to
read True Life in God or listen to you speak?
“Jesus says: let those with eyes see and with ears
hear. For an example, Cardinal Napier of South
Africa wanted to meet me but was criticized by his
priests. He is strong and insisted to meet me anyway,
to be able to find the truth. He was able to clarify
the negative things he had heard and was able to
discern for himself. He then told his priests and they
all calmed down. It needs courage and many don’t
have courage.”
How can one tell something is from God?
“By their fruit – conversions. Jesus says the greatest
miracle is the conversion of the heart. This, Satan
cannot do.”
Some Bishops and members of hierarchy support you, how
are those others who don’t?
“These are usually the ones who never read the
Messages. Even if they did, they take things out of
context. If you read the Scriptures in the same way,
you find contradictions. We have to pray for these
people, that God opens their eyes because they are
missing something.”
For Christians today, what is the most important thing to
do?
“To evangelize! Everybody! It’s all a question of
evangelizing and through the Messages of
True Life in
God
, people who have read and know them well go
and share with others and evangelize, they witness
like I do.
It’s like this, God prepared a banquet of food in a
time of famine and then He gave you the grace to
invite you. Eat all you want! You eat and you enjoy
yourself. But if you have the heart, you will think of
the others starving out there and invite them to share
instead of letting them die of starvation.”
What is the most authentic way to evangelize?
“The best way to evangelize is to read and know
the Messages and read them over and over. I have
prepared 27 Questions & Answers to help people
evangelize, it is on the internet. If you are able to
answer the questions, the answers (which I have
also given) are enough to make an Evangelization
Meeting.”
Is there a danger people gather around the Message and not
around the Lord?
“But the Message comes from the Lord! And they
bring one to the Scriptures, of which many passages
are explained, and to the Sacraments of the Church –
that is the goal!”
In Scriptures, Jesus teaches us to pray the Our Father.
When I read your book, I was very touched with the Our
Father. How does it feel to pray with the Lord?
“You have to open your heart when you pray the
Our Father. God made me repeat the prayer many
times until my heart opened. If you say My Lord, My
God, my Father, He is there! So when you say Our
Father, He is there. He knows when you say it from
your heart or like a parrot, or out of duty. When you
say it with love, He accepts it. We forget He is there
listening. And why do many people not grow in their
love for God? Because they have intellectualized
God.”
How can our priests become better and move towards
Unity?
“By prayer. They have to understand God’s Ways,
that division is not from God.”
How did the Messages affect your relationship with your
Lutheran husband?
“He believed from the beginning but startedworrying
when the dictation became more frequent, and he
realized the person he married had changed (after
conversion). I had to learn to balance.”
