A Light for Calabria and for the world

Calabria: the land of lost Saints

Its coasts are beautiful and green are its mountains from the Polino Mountain to the Sila, but great too is its christian history. Here in Calabria, together with nearby Sicily the great Apostles: Peter and Paul came. Here in the great Thurio of that time where the fervent greek hermit Telesphorus preached: he was Pope from 125 to 156, and a Martyr. Here at Rossano, fortunate on account of its Purple Code of the IV century and its ikon of the Blessed Virgin: the Achiropita of Rossano. Here lived St.Nilo and from here he was moved to preach and found basilian monasteries to some extent everywhere. Here there is Lungro, which is an Albanian Eparchy, of which the little village of Sofferetti forms a part. (It has about 200 inhabitants), and it is a hamlet of St. Demetrius Corone in the county of Cosenza.

In these lands of Saints, who are not lacking in the whole of Calabria, today there is the desert and the empire of the mafia. One cries out, one cries: but it is a cry of man to man! Here as in Egypt, there are not the Pharoahs to set the Hebrews free, but the cry of the people to Yahweh, to He Who Is: to the Lord of History.

***

Today Mary, in obedience to God, goes throughout the whole world and cries out, like Moses, the Cry of Return to the Promised Land: God's Land.

Calabria is the land chosen by Mary: from the Pietà of Crosia, to the Tears of Blood of "the Our Lady of Lourdes of the Eternal Father at Castrovillari. And she cries out too at the Altar of Mercy at the Oak of Sofferetti and at the Room of Timparelle in the little village of Thurio, nowadays. For these last two places (Sofferetti and the Room) Mary avails herself of a simple but a single instrument: Little Julia of the Cross.

***

Sibari is the Sea

There is a frame of the sea in the story of Jesus: the sea of Galilee. Just like the river Jordan was firstly for John. Also the places which interest Little Julia of the Cross have the savor of sea or river: the Sea of Sibari and the Crati river which touches on Julia's house and unravels at Sibari.

To this Valley of the Sibari's the Mother of Jesus and our Mother cries out with pain and love: Free yourselves from the things of the world, follow my road which leads to Jesus! Here she cries it out even with joy: Hurry up to come after me because Jesus is about to come among us!

She will say, even, that the true Third Secret of Fatima is the Coming of Jesus. And she entrusts it to the Bishop of the Achiropita of Rossano: Hold up the Third Secret of Fatima.

And, as a matter of fact, on this Sea of Sibari, we already taste the Parusia of Jesus, who becomes alive among us, He speaks, He makes the Complete Pains of the Childbirth of the Cross be heard and He gives his Blood and His Flesh. Every Thursday at 21.04 and on other special days Jesus rejoices and eats with us: "I eat and drink with you". He eats of our life so that it may be rich with his Life. He wants to eat and drink with everybody, good and bad, with enemies in first place: "Forgive your enemies and bring them to my Banquet".

Julia Arancino, a child without a story

She was born on 28 September 1957 in the little group of houses of Ministalla, which the locals still call: Star of the Sea, in the parish of Thurio, dedicated to St.Telesphorus, but the principal feastday is that of St. Therese of the Child Jesus. Her parents, Damian and Serafina, registered her birth with the date of 29th September. Serafina lost about ten babies during pregnancy, so that they did not arrive in order: Cosmos (her bachelor brother), Schiavonea, her sister (married to Francis and blessed with four children) and finally Julia. Julia's dream is to have a child. After 25 years of marriage, she does conceive but no baby has seen the light yet. This is her dream, her pain, her joy "Rejoice in seeing your Favorite Thorn and your dear ones who sing the Praises of Love to the Father, to the Son and to the Holy Spirit".

Baptism

She was baptised on 15 August 1958 in the Sanctuary of Schiavonea by Fr. Sextus Tocci. The 15th of August will be special in the journey of the apparitions. On the first one she is seen by the Pope: on August 15th 1989. August 15th is Mary's Assumption and the goal of the apparitions is the great mystery of Mary's Triumph on earth: her Immaculate Heart will triumph.

First Holy Communion

On 7/6/1969 in the church of Thurio. She was prepared by Fr. Rudolf of the Friars Minor from Venice, who arrived at the sanctuary of Schiavonea in 1964. Julia has a good memory of Fr. Rudolf, who died on 7 March 2000. She also has good memories of the other fathers who took care of the parish of Thurio: Fr Onorato and Fr Laurence. After the Friars Minor of Schiavonea had left Fr. Maximus De Novellis from the diocesan clergy, succeeded as the parish priest from 4 September 1988. Don Maximus, a young Priest, wanted to know me straightaway. I went to meet him. He was enthusiastic about Julia. He told me: "During my Seminary years at Catanzaro I asked Our Lady for the grace to guide a visionary". He followed Julia, he went to meet her at home, he cared for the girls of the place who almost all went to Julia. He celebrated Mass once too at Julia's house. He likewise came to Lauria with his mother, Julia and Paschal to pray at Lentini's Little House and be enrolled in the Sodality of Our Lady of Sorrows. His contacts with Zoti John Cassiano from Sofferetti and his going blindly to Our Lady of Scoglio, of Brother Cosmos repudiated his rapport with Julia. What happened? Julia had messages about the Concelebrations made by many Priests in that place in homage to Brother Cosmos (namely in homage to Satan!). For Jesus they are invalid masses! The conclusion was evident: one of the two was false or else both were false. Don Maximus does not know that in a Satanic context the Mass is invalid. Don Maximus remained faithful to Brother Cosmos and he abandoned Julia; even until his transfer to another parish there was not a homily that he did not speak against Julia and, not content with that he went from house to house to denigrate Julia. Many from the village abandoned Julia, even the girls: those whom Julia used call my Babes. The parish was divided. The Bishop realized that the time was ready for Don Maximus' promotion and he sent him to Central Corigliano while entrusting Thurio to Don Pino Madeo who in mid September 1998 had by then taken over the parish. "I am everybody's parish priest" Fr Pino says from the very beginning. He gets on well with Julia.

Confirmation

It was administered by Mons John Grillo, the Archbishop of Rossano on 22/6/1969, in the Church of Thurio. As a historical curiousity Rossano succeeded Thurio as a diocese, in the VIII century, on account of the dangers and incursions of the Longobards and the Saracens. Thus the Cathedral of this beautiful plain of the Sibari sea goes up the mountain, Acqua Molle Hill, there where Ephraim the hermit prays, there where St.Nilo will pray, because here there is She Who indicates the way, the Odigitria-Leader: the Achiropita (ref. doc. 9). As a matter of curiosity, Julia told me one day: "I have seen a cathedral beneath my house". Is it a symbol of cathedra-faith or a historical fact? If it is history then Archaeology can verify it.

Study Qualifications

Her schooling stops at Fifth elementary. In Fifth she was put back because of two subjects, but by October she did not present herself at school to repeat the class. She is very fond of that school in the village of Ministalla because at 10 years of age she had her first vision: St. Therese of the Child Jesus. One has to go to her Diary in order to hear the account from Julia herself (ref. doc. 3).

On 10 August 1975 she marries Paschal Capalbo

One reads in one message that the Heavenly Father, before choosing Julia, thought firstly about Paschal, so tiring, delicate and important was his mission.

Paschal was born on 9 April 1950 in the Estate group of houses of Corigliano, a big center of 40,000 inhabitants in the county of Cosenza. Cori-liano means heart on the plate and at the Banquet of the Room, in the one at Thurio, everybody is served fully the Dish of the Father's Heart. The villages of Julia's life: Thurio, Ministalla and Timparelle, form part of Corigliano as well. The Capalbo family, from the Estate moved later to St. Nico in the neigbourhood of Cantinella, which is another hamlet of the town of Corigliano. Paschal's usual name is Frank. This is the way his mother used call him to console herself for the loss of little Frank, who died prematurely before Paschal was born. And thus straightaway Paschal starts his part as today's Telesphorus, not having anything, not even his name, but having, like St. Telesphorus, the one holy Poverty, the one that the Father loves and wants: in order to give the Infinite Goodness of his Love.

As a young man Paschal emigrated to Nuremberg in Germany. He became a driver. After a year he came home on holidays to see his relatives. One afternoon, on a spin in his Fiat 1100, he meets on the roads of Thurio a young girl: it is Julia, who was walking with her mother over to her sister Schiavonea. Frank stops and offers a lift to accompany them. The distance is short and they arrive quickly at their destination. Frank says goodbye to Serafina, Julia's mother, and asks if he can drive Julia sometime to the beach. Serafina agrees and Julia, for the sake of going out and been seen in a car by her girl friends, says yes. The next day they go out together to the Sibari seaside and the two get into the boat of love. He returns to Germany with Julia in his heart. He works only to change the old 1100 and acquires a brand-new red Fiat 128,(at present it is in their garden and the hens use it to lay their eggs) and so, after his 2nd year in Germany and the 1st of their unofficial engagement, Frank comes back again on holidays. Julia's daddy Damian welcomes him for the first time and the engagement is established according to the local traditions and customs. After an engagement of three years, Julia and Frank marry on the 10th of August (the feast of St. Laurence … and the grill is ready!), in the Santuary of Our Lady of Schiavonea or Our Lady of the Slaves (cfr doc 10). They spend their first nights in the house of one of Paschal's aunts because they still have no house. Four days later they set off for Germany. In August they are in Nuremberg. It is the first 15th of August for the Capalbo newly-weds.

After six years of marriage Julia is pregnant. Frank and Julia go to visit relatives for a weekend at Monaco and they are all together in the Tower of the City. The lift is a very fast one in this place and Julia notices the pains. They return home. She does not know if she has lost the baby. She feels worse and worse. On the tenth day with their Sicilian friends they get alarmed: she might have aborted. They run to the doctor, who confirms the abortion. The next day (the eleventh), the doctor does the scraping away. It is a miracle that Julia had not gone to heaven with the baby. She has remained on earth, with the pain in her heart and the dragging of a heavy curettement which provokes fainting and convulsions. After a year they realize that these latter have not disappeared. They think that it may be the German air making her ill and they return home to the sea of Sibari.

Daddy Damian had already thought about their possible return and he had already started building the first floor of their actual house at Timparelle. The emigrant's dream, of going away in order to return rich, is shattered and they come back with their baggage because for today's Telesphorus rich Germany is bad news.

They live for two years in premises or huts which Daddy Damian used as storehouses, until the secord floor was finally built, leaving the attic full of stakes, poor, bare and dark: the one which Jesus will later on choose as His Room, because the University of the Telesphorus-es is born at Bethehem.

Our Lady appears at Sofferetti!

Paschal works on the land or does seasonal work in some nearby factory. Julia's health however does not improve. They put their trust in the treatments of a doctor from Carbonara at Bari, who is now deceased. They think that the sea air would be of use for this improvement and they go there often. But one fine afternoon at the Sibari seaside the first voice comes: it was the famous 24th of July of 1985. Julia was in her bathing costume taking the sun. When she heard from Paschal's cousin the news that Our Lady had appeared at Sofferetti, she lept up and asked her husband: "I want to go there: bring me!" And Paschal, as calm as usual, replies: "Yes, I will bring you there, but not today". They go there on 5 August 1985. Julia saw the Beautiful Lady and she testifies that from that day she has not suffered anymore from convulsions and fainting. It is the first of the miracles of Sofferetti. A detail: Where did Julia see Our Lady for the first time? Julia: - It was at the bend of the road below(Sofferetti village), about 100 metres away from the oaktree. From there I saw Our Lady at other times too, then we would go to the oak or else we would stop at the small square of St.Michael's statue. Only sometimes did we go in a circle around the oak along a path. This latter was the route we took, on Our Lady's directions, on 4 October 1985 in order to receive the first message: I(Julia), Frank and Fr. John -.

Then October 4th comes. She receives the first message and she is designated as a sole instrument of the Heavenly Mother and of her Son Jesus for the triumph of the Father's Heart at the Altar of Mercy of the Sofferetti Oak and at the Room of the Oak at Thurio.

***

And the Voice from the Desert arrives at Sibari too

I(Don Mario) was born on the 5th (rather, between the 4th and 5th) of January in 1935 at Lauria PZ, in Lucania, a town of 14 thousand inhabitants, adjacent to Calabria but 115 Km distant from Sofferetti, and 100 Km from Timparelle 2 in Thurio (= Julia's address). I reside here, in part of my parents' home, on via Cairoli 163. I was ordained a Priest at Lauria in the parish church of St. James the Greater the Apostle, by Mons. Frederick Pezzullo on 9th July 1961. I spent my first priestly years guiding young seminarians of the Seminary of Policastro Bussentino, where Venerable Dominic Lentini from Lauria prepared for the Priesthood; he is Blessed (Lentini) since 12 October 1997 thanks also to Julia's prayers. In my book: Reading Lentini's Miracle on God's behalf, I conclude that without Julia there would not have been that miracle. She did not know about Lentini. When I invited her to pray for the healing of Anne Mary Voria, Julia said to me: Who is Venerable Lentini? I limited myself to saying: He is a Priest from Lauria who died with a reputation of Holiness. Some days later I brought her the first little picture of Ven. Lentini and she, surprised and joyful said: But since the day of the first apparition he is always kneeling at my right praying with hands joined! Thus the prayer of intercession, started at Oliveto Citra with Antoinette Acunzo, involved Sofferetti too. But I immediately understood that Lentini was at home at Sofferetti and that the miracle obtained was the confirmation of his mission which must unfold at Sofferetti as Servant of the Cross. Associated with Lentini I discover there too his Saint Elijah. As a matter of fact, it was at the ruins of St. Elijah's church, on the Armo Slope of Lauria, where Lentini used always go to pray and do penance, that I heard from Julia in ecstasy the solemn command: Elijah, Dominic, lead Sofferetti in triumph! On this Mountain (at St. Elijah's), there is held the Easter Monday of the group of 40 in 1998 and it is there also that we find ourselves that same year for August 15th. Moreover it was from this same little sanctuary of Lauria, which rose on basilian footsteps, that the Great Procession starts off for the inauguration of the Room on the 11th of October 1998.

Julia's ecstasy in the face of Science

1) Regarding her health

The question: Is she healthy in mind?

The apparitions would have to be examined seriously by the Church because they can bring either God or Satan, but the Bishops act like Pilate: they wash their hands of it and leave the discernment to the people. And often the people, between Barabbas and Jesus, choose Barabbas, the Healer, the so-called Holyman, that is to say they choose Satan, such as happens between Julia and Brother Cosmos from the diocesis of Locri in Calabria.

Those who are indifferent and the denigrators, in the name of Science, take the short cut and say that it is simply a question of visionaries, the exalted ones or the mad. This halo happens to Julia. The one in particular who colors this halo is Fr. John, the parish priest of Sofferetti, and his fans or friends in civil society and in the Church.

The Bishop of Lungro, Mons. John Stammati, in order to clarify matters, due to local pressure or at the Vatican's request, arranges that Julia goes in for tests for 12 days at the Gemelli Hospital in Rome, from 20th September to 2nd October in 1986. Her discharge certificate shows positive clinical results (for documentation refer to: Anne Mary Turi's book, Sofferetti, pages 116-117). At the Gemelli, Julia also has a visit from Cardinal Ugo Poletti, who was then the Pope's Vicar.

2) Have her ecstasies been subjected to tests?

Yes. This was carried out on August 5th and 6th of 1986 by doctors M. Margnelli and G. Gagliardi, the same ones who had already been to Medjugorje. The medical account of these same is reported in the book quoted (pages 105-113) by Anne Mary Turi, who was present in those days, like she was many times at Sofferetti.

3) Regarding the examinations of the Milan medical equipment and about A.M.Turi

Doctors Margnelli and Gagliardi, together with journalist Turi stayed to examine Julia for four days: 4-7 August 1986.

On 15 August 2000 I make Julia write down how she remembers those days. Here is what she writes:

"Anne Mary Turi and two doctors come to my house. They stayed in the house for four days <however only Turi slept there as well>. They put me under hypnosis four times. Mario was only done once <Mario Zenna is the other visionary of Sofferetti; he died on 16 July 1997>. The doctors wanted by all possible means to make us talk <in the sense of making us say what they wanted - hence even messages>. They understood that I was stopping Mario^^^ and they separated us into different rooms <at Julia's house>. On the 6th day (6 August 1986) we went to Mario's house because the doctors wanted to see the atmosphere of Mario's family. Later in the evening we went first to the church and then to Cozzolino's house. Fr. John was there too. Here gathered in one room were the doctors with Fr. John - myself and Frank, they made us stay in another room as they were manouvering <i.e. devising> something or other. Then we returned home, where Anne Mary asked me often if I was well. I answered yes. In the night I found it hard to go asleep. I felt that something was not all right. I had a strange dream: an enormous green serpent which was wrapped around me. But I shattered it. In the morning Anne Mary asked me if I had slept well. I answered yes <in order not to speak about the serpent which I felt was sent through Turi>. She left and, a little while after she had left the two doctors arrived. I told them that they had prepared everything well, but that they had forgotten that I was married and that Frank did not want to bring me anymore to Sofferetti.^^^^^ They looked at each other and then took the newsletter, they said goodbye and left. A little while after they left, I felt like going downstairs, and of taking the car <at that time I used drive a bit> and to follow them. I went downstairs three times, but then I raised up the Crucifix that I wore on my neck, I prayed for a while and I felt something break: namely that flux which pulled me towards them".

^^^ Mario was weak, Our Lady had entrusted him to Julia and many times before the messages Julia in ecstasy asked him to get up and kneel down.

^^^^^ The evening before in Cozzolino's house there had been a meeting with Fr. John who had told Julia to say to Our Lady not to appear anymore in the church in order not to trouble the people.

***

Turi is negative because she is the bearer of green serpents. The examination made with the equipment from Milan is not strictly scientific either. Negative influences actuate on the psyche, but they will not succeed with Julia. On the other hand they satisfied Turi the journalist who, on one of those four days before the afternoon siesta in the Arancino household, asked for an orgasm in order to rest and the doctors, Julia tells me, satisfied her. It is a fact which morally has no comment.

***

Two other doctors from Cosenza attempted (testing her) with more or less similar examinations, but they had to interrupt them, Julia says. When they noticed that they were swept away by an energy which discharged on them they said to Julia: "You have a superior entity which escapes us!"

4) What can science say about ecstasy and other phenomena?

Little or nothing if Science comes out from its ambit of Science and acts as Theology. Science is useful for discovering eventual swindles if it does not make an idol of itself, and if it remains in the pure ambit of experimental science and not of possible hypotheses. "It could be" does no honor to Science. Science is science on account of its critical scientific method. Certain deductions from experiments which leave no doubts are necessary and that are repeated in a constant method in every case studied. The method has its force if it is based on a reason which reasons.

The believer must use reason. Reason may be used too by Science. The Doctor must observe and draw conclusions with his reason. The opinions of others, of books, of the mass media are not Science. Many doctors kill in reducing the abnormal to a case of depression and they cure it with antidepressives which annul the patient's forces more and more and lead to death or the asylum. The Doctor, who wants to be scientific, must recognize the limits of his ambit and humbly ask himself:

"Have I observed a psychic illness in the patient: What is the cause? Is it a trauma or a particular history of the person? Or is there some factor which is, external to the patient, which has brought anomalies into the psyche?"

Are External factors possible which affect the psyche and the very body of a man? The Gospel answers yes. If it is God who enters the man, the person's liberty does not change. If this latter, on the contrary, is changed, it is always Satan who rises up in a direct or mediumistic manner (magic, spells, envy etc.).

When the doctor is a believer, he is able to arrive at these conclusions and does not feel himself humiliated if he asks the patient to have recourse to a Priest. It is not necessary to be an appointed exorcist for this. Such a gift is in the Church: "Go, preach, baptize and exorcize". Nowadays unfortunately the Priests do not believe any more in the powers which they have. They are more lay than the laity and they discharge to the doctor that which the doctor cannot do.

I had an experience in the month of March 1999, which I tell about in my Little Tracks with the title: Agnes from Viggiano (ref doc 7).

I did it together with a doctor friend, Dr. Marcello Pittella. His admiration and joy were such, at the liberation which occurred with only holy water, blessed candle, Way of the Cross, Holy Mass and Rosary to the Blessed Virgin, that he exclaimed: "I must change my mind about a lot of Science!"

***

5) Julia's Gifts

Stigmata and handkerchieves

From the Christmas period till Easter Julia has the Signs of the Passion on her body: hands, forehead, side, feet and knees. With the blood from these wounds, with the help of a tiny angel, Blessed Dominic Lentini from Lauria (the Servant of the Cross), leaves signs on white handkerchiefs of: hosts, crosses, hearts, written in several languages. These handkerchiefs are blessed by Jesus. Whoever was fortunate to receive them from Julia or me, should treat them as things of Jesus.

The gifts in her hands

This is a delicate field. It reminds one of pranotherapy, but in Julia's case it is not pranotherapy. It is that gift which Jesus placed and left in the Church: "Visit the sick, impose hands on them and heal them".

I neither encourage nor forbid this having recourse to Julia in order to let oneself be touched by her. I have placed some limits to this:

· Never to go to Julia for this on the days of the apparition.

· Julia has to have her liberty for the life of a normal person. The day that she receives anyone is Wednesday of every week, at 14.30, but it involves reciting the Rosary however with her beforehand in the Room. For other days it should be as agreed, but she receives anyone if she is free and if her husband Paschal is there. Offerings for her are absolutely forbidden in any form.

· What are the conditions? They are those which a believer ought to have facing pain, and namely, to know that pain is a gift of God, if it is accepted with love, it is offered to God out of love and one prays to be able to be liberated, while adding like Jesus did: "but let your holy Will, be done always, O Father". If there are not these conditions, if one has unsound, superstitious faith, one is implored not to go to Julia before having recovered the true faith.

She leaves a mark with blood wherever she goes

It is a gift which only she knows about. She says that where ever she passes, it is marked with blood. This would be the case even when she is brought in bilocation to some part or other. She says that she presents herself, but without being seen by some sick person or someone fighting with the devil.

6) Priest - and not Science - for discernment

As regards final discernment, as in the case of Miracles, Science can only say: This is not my field! It is the Church which has to say it in the following line: Spiritual Director (and not passing Priests), Bishop, Pope. It will be the Church that will say if - behind any visionary case - there is Light or darkness, God or Satan, who uses every means in order to appear as God: he acts as God's imitator (he mimes God like a monkey).

Julia's case.

a) Before ecstasy

How do Jesus and Our Lady appear to her? They appear in globes which are strongly lit up, often surrounded by globes of the Angels and Saints. Julia does not comply immediately, but she invites the apparition to glorify: "If it is you glorify the Father, if it is you glorify the Father, if it is you glorify the Father". Our Lady answers: "Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen". Jesus in general recalls the Father: "Glory be to the Father Most High, as it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. Peace to you, children of my Heart …!" After the glorification the globe of light opens up, a cloud gathers at the feet of whoever has appeared as sent by the Father, and then Our Lady or Jesus appears on their own or together with the Saints and Angels.

If there there is no glorification, then it is Satan there who likewise appears under the form of a globe. Julia notices about it: that the globe is less luminous & Julia becomes agitated and coughs. Satan is compelled to manifest himself. He appears nude or like a dragon. He would want to open dialogue with Julia, but Julia does not listen to him. He makes her promises, Julia refuses him saying: I do not accept, I love Jesus! Go away, et cetera! In order to discourage her Satan says: the "Woman that you are waiting for will not come anymore!" (he never calls her Mary). So likewise: "Jesus will not come anymore!" Julia: It is not true! Satan then passes on to threats. Julia exorcizes him with the Crucifix held up, she asks the help of the Blessed Virgin and St.Michael.

At the Room Satan till now has not gone beyond her coughing, due to the hearts which are not free of those present. On Thursdays, before we start the prayer at 21.00, Julia asks me to sign her forehead with the sign of the cross.

b) Outside of ecstasy

Satan, especialy at her home, appears even when an official message is not expected. Also in these cases Julia if she perceives it first: notices a negative presence, she becomes agitated, she coughs and hears louder noise of steps. Satan is almost always nude or a dragon. As in the first case, he looks for dialogue, he makes promises or he discourages, in the end he threatens but, to Julia's No and the summons of the Cross, he goes off fuming because he does not want to kneel to the Crucifix which Julia raises before him.

Four questions to Julia

· In the visions, which you describe later, how do you become aware that a vision is positive or negative?

Julia Because I ask the vision to glorify and if it does not glorify I do not accept it.

· Was there any negative vision? If yes, how did you notice it?

Julia Yes, there was. I noticed it because when I asked it to glorify it did not do so.

· Besides the vision of St.Therese at ten years of age, what other vision did you have before the apparition of the 5th of August 1985 at Sofferetti?

Julia Before Sofferetti I had three times the apparition of Jesus on the Cross (viz. near the bed, author's note).

· In the dictated messages on Fridays or on other days, what do you do to be certain that the ecstasy is good?

Julia I always ask for the glorification.

Do I ask myself?

In these situations, is it right that Priests refer exclusively to others and to Science a judgement and assistance which is expected from them and ordinarily only from them, about whether or not it is Satan? When Jesus gave the command to exorcize, he did not say: Consult the doctor beforehand! And before so much Science nowadays Jesus repeats to the Priests the same commands: "See, children, I am the Living Tree* of the Cross, from the Tree I have given you Life: live and walk in the Holy Gospel of the Sacrificed Lamb. Do not be hard hearted, but give it lavishly and live in Poverty and in Love: walk my ways and leave the things of the world which are no use to your salvation. Sons of my Heart, I have given you a command: Go through the world, baptize and exorcize in the Name of the Cross"(Friday, 16 June 2000).

Julia's Greatest Gift:

To Participate in the Hidden, Silent and Living Mystery

of the Cross

Julia's aforesaid gifts are exceptional and her messages are unique. But the one which most distinguishes her is the gift of participating at the Hidden Mystery of Salvation. I see here Abraham who begs God to forgive Sodom, which is a candidate for distruction - and God who would have forgiven it if he could find the few just men which Abraham promised. Abraham stopped at the promise of 10 and God promised: "I will not destroy it for the sake of those ten" (Gen 18, 32). Sodom was destroyed because there were not in the city the ten just men promised. If Abraham might have bound himself for only one, who knows what God would have said? God waited for this one just one in order to forgive humanity. It will be Jesus, to whom is associated the Immaculate and Sorrrowful Virgin in the Unique Mystery of Prayer to the Father for a Complete Mercy for humanity.

Nowadays humanity goes towards total destruction like Sodom and it will have the same end if there will not be just ones to pray and make reparation. This is requested of the Little Shepherds of Fatima. This is requested of Julia.

How does she participate?

Julia is as if she is nailed on the Cross. She receives the nails of Jesus. She drinks Jesus' cups. She carries, as already said, the wounds of Jesus.

And more still she sees the state of perdition in which humanity finds itself and the Church itself. She responds with her Yes and asks everything for herself on condition that what she sees may not come to pass.

And in addition to what she sees, she receives communications and secrets, which then come to me and are destined for the Holy Father. They are offered to her firstly as a vision, afterwards they are confided to her heart and then she is let see them again and to write them down in ecstasy.

With the transfer of the monthly message of the 24th from the Oak at Sofferetti to the Room, Jesus invites me to ask questions. Sometimes he answers them, other times he says: "It is part of the Mystery".

Why is there so much Mystery in the Hidden Mystery?

Because Satan would gain by it. Thus Jesus tells me on Thursday 20 July 2000: "John of today, let your heart not be troubled if I do not reply to all that you ask me, but you know well that the enemy listens and the Mysteries cannot be revealed beforehand".

How did I come to Sofferetti?

I knew Rossano because in 1968 we accompanied Mons. Anthony Cantisani there; he is a Priest from Lauria, who was then parish priest of Sapri, where I was his co-worker: In those months I was asked by him and by the Bishop to take over from him, but I did not accept on account of the summer heat of Sapri and because I did not feel myself up to it. Was I perhaps to have succeeded Mons. Cantisani at the service of Our Lady: called the Achiropita of Rossano? Thus it will be - but in the ways marked out by Our Lady-the-Achiropita, who binds to this See of Rossano the fulfillment of the Third Secret of Fatima, like She says (in a message) for the actual Bishop of Rossano, Mons. Andrew Cassone, on the day after he took possession of the diocese which happened early in June 1992: "My daughter, deliver what I tell you to son Mario for the Bishop of the Achiropita: - My son, the times are short! My son, as Heavenly Mother, I ask you to hold up the Third Secret of Fatima. Son, dress yourself with the Cross because for the sake of the Holy Cross I come as a Pilgrim and its Light is New Light and my Heart will triumph by means of the Cross" (message of 12 June 1992).

Jesus had already said something similar to his predecessor, Mons. Seraphin Sprovieri, when I went to visit him with Julia on 18 October 1989: "My son, I come to bring my Love and my Forgiveness, my Mercy, the Triumph of Mary's Most Holy Heart and of my own Immaculate Heart.Son, I ask you to go forward in the mission in which you were chosen: bring forward this mission of the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary and of the world and of all mankind. Here, in this place, my Living Cross will remain always".

Just like one reads already in these messages from Heaven, even if not contingent, they want me at the service of Our Lady-the-Achiropita of the Third Secret of Fatima.

My first and even only words for "the Achiropita Our Lady" of Rossano trace back to August 1980 (ref Doc 10).

Mons. Cantisani was about to leave Rossano to go to Catanzaro, (as its new Archbishop). In the beginning of August he was on holidays in Lauria. He asks me to do a triduum, on the 12th, 13th & 14th of August, at the Achiropita of Rossano's Cathedral. It is to be the last time that Mons. Cantisani will celebrate the Achiropita Blessed Virgin and he does not want to lack the word of the preacher. The one who was invited had failed him and he had no time to find another: Do me a favor, come yourself! he says to me. I did not know anything about Our Lady the Achiropita. I begged him to find some Priest of that place. He perhaps had already given my name, such that when he returned to his diocese, he telephoned me saying: You have to come, they have already put your name on the triduum poster. I went there. I preached for three days and I came to know a little about reality in Calabria. The Clarissian Sisters had me as their guest there and, not being able to go out at night on account of the cloister, on the evening of 12 August 1980, in the heat of that August Holyday, I wrote:

Thus you came down / to Bethlehem / with flesh / only/ so that the others / might not give you a name but: / the son of man. / You covered yourself but it is little / with the garments of the humble / you work from the poor hands / of a Mother. / You let yourself be stripped of everything / on the Cross / so that to each one might appear / the truth of your love. / We dress ourselves too much. / The Priests too dress themselves / and everything flows / faraway / betwixt fear and blood, / God, man, / while the baby cries to us: / but Jesus does not have underpants! (Don Mario Riccio, The Cry of Abel).

***

In thinking again about those verses, I see that Poverty, the Cross, the Love of the Son of God, man in our midst in order to make us into New Men, are confirmed and shouted out by the Heavenly Mother in all the places of her apparitions.

In 1985 at Oliveto Citra I started off my apprenticeship as journalist of today's visionary phenomena. I spend two years before arriving at a well-based approval. The youths from Alvignano convinced me. The Mystery of the Cross and of the Eucharist in their ecstasies astonished me. I followed them and I tried to make the acquaintance too of the mystical persons frequented by them. Thus I went on my own to meet Josephine from Gallinaro, but without making an appointment. Here I made the acquaintance of Fr. Urban Pittiglio from Tocco of Casauria PE. It was precisely Fr. Urban who brought me to Calabria. After that day at Gallinaro, he telephones me from Pescara and says to me: A lady from Catanzaro whom I met at Medjugorje, has telephoned me to go down to Crosia. Do you want to accompany me? On 27 July 1987 we are at Crosia. Fr. Urban came back fuming and saying: I only believe in Medjugorje. Follow this apparition yourself! How lovely, I say to him: I came as your travelling companion and now you entrust me with this task.

However I went there many times. And here, knowing that Sofferetti was nearby, about which I had read an article by Anne Mary Turi in the Times, I asked Anne and Vincent(the Crosia visionaries) if they knew about Sofferetti. Vincent said: I have been there and I have seen Our Lady there too, but I do not know the visionaries of the place. Crosia had convinced me and so on the 19th of August 1987 I go for the first time to Sofferetti.

but here, from being a journalist I become the Horse-Drover of the Cross … persecuted!

The horse-drovers were sent here to the Cupo (now called Marina of Corigliano) by the King of Naples as a defence against the attacks of the Turks (ref. doc 9). I was thinking of doing at Sofferetti what I was going about doing a bit everywhere: acting as a journalist and eventually guiding as a Priest the visionaries without any help. And in fact I perceived that here, by the New Turks, the Albanians of Lungro, the Living Voice of the Mother of God was being attacked. At least one Horse Drover was needed to defend the Sofferetti Oak and if they are satisfied with a priest who was not so secure, like me, because I am well-known to the Catholic Hierarchy as a priest of Dissent. In '68, while at the Oriental Institute of Naples I was in the Student Movement in favor of new frontiers in the University, in Society and in the Church itself. I will be a Horse-Drover who is undesired, threatened and persecuted: but I am still alive waiting for the King to arrive.

This is the way events have gone. I had come a few times to the Oak and what does Julia do on me? She disappears? Is it an escape or an abduction? No, it was only a mission of the Plan of the Oak: namely to go to the Pope in order to give him a message. Could it not have gone in an official manner with the Bishop's presentation? This is the way things go for us in respect of laws and good custom. But the Lord is Lord also of the Sabbath and he sends Julia with the seminarist Cyrus Favaro from the diocese of St. Mark Argentano, and who was a 3 year student of Theology at Catanzaro. This will scandalize the Scribes and Pharisees of today. Who was Cyrus? One who was in love with Julia? No, he was one who believed madly in the Sofferetti apparitions. He used come from Catanzaro almost every week. The mission did not reach the Pope. They made their journey without money. They used look for offerings & beg. They even slept in the open air. Julia got sick. They had to have recourse to first aid. They managed to find enough money in order to stay in a hotel. And they slept in the same bed. The uncle of the seminarist is a parish priest <> and with the help of the journalist Anne Mary Turi he succeeded in reaching the hotel of the two, who, at Sofferetti, were by now pointed out as runaways. In the hotel room Julia asked Cyrus: Do you want to continue (with the mission) or do you want to return home? Cyrus, and he knows it, said no.

When Julia returned to Sofferetti, I became aware that she was alone and above all that she was alone on the inside. Apart from help for her journey as a visionary, she needed some spiritual help: she was always a soul and she was helped! If the mission to Rome then, was in God's plans, this mission will be fulfilled, in spite of all types of obstacles and impediments.

And thus I become the chavalier in name and in fact of Little Julia of the Cross, whom the Achiropita Blessed Virgin sends on a mission to Sofferetti, in order to bring the Boat of the Cross towards its Final Triumph: the Return of Jesus for the Triumph of Love.

***

This mission leads to Peter in Rome. She will go there and when will she go? For the present I see that it will not be done anymore with two, like it was Julia's first time with Cyrus Favaro the seminarist, but with four, armed with Staffs (viz. Croziers mounted with Blessed Dominic Lentini's Crucifix):

The Four of the Cross!

Of the Four, Julia carries the Cross, her husband Paschal <alias Frank> assists and records, Frank Vincent <from Mormanno, in Cassano diocese> sees and colloquies in silence but he does not give messages <during Julia's ecstasy, he tells me that he acts as a Witness to the Mystery>, and I as a Priest I observe, orient and shout … and then I kiss and sing: Go to sleep, Mammy's Boy!

The persecutions against Julia

The mission to Rome with the seminarist Cyrus Favaro in October 1987 forms part of the Mystery which Jesus has said he will explain when he comes. It has created, however, an alibi for whoever wants a Sofferetti without Julia, but if Julia is the only instrument chosen to transmit the messages, it is clear that that plan is of Satanic origin. I call it the E2 (viz. the E=evil) Plan because there is a collaboration of darkness on earth (which, in a conscious and unconscious manner, is offered to Satan

The terrestial evolving of the E2 Plan for Sofferetti

The Heavenly Mother's warning and Fr. John's moves

On 10 August 1986, on Julia'a wedding anniversary, the Blessed Virgin had said:

"Children, today should be a day of Glory, but you do not listen to me: you do not accept what I am offering you. A veil is coming down.

On the evening of 5 August 1986 in Cozzolino's house at Sofferetti, Fr. John, Mary Cozzolino, the journalist Mary Turi and the two doctors from Milan Margnelli and Gagliardi gathered in a room without Julia and Frank. After the consultation Fr. John came out, he called Julia and Frank into another room and said: "Julia, you must ask Our Lady not to appear to you anymore in the church because it is a nuisance for the people".

***

Again on 21 August 1986 there is another meeting of the Committee and Fr. John speaks his mind clearly: "Either you do what I want or else I pretend that here, at the Oak nothing takes place, and that I am at home because I have so many things to do".

And in the Committee in order to have weight, besides Mary Cozzolino, the Presidente of Sofferetti's Catholic group, there are people named Guarascio from Cosenza, in particular Nella Guarascio with her sister-in-law Margaret.

***

Already after Julia's return home from the Gemelli Hospital, a scorched earth policy starts around the Sofferetti of Julia Arancino. This is the way Frank, Julia's husband, had written about these last months of 1986 in his Diary for the date 1/1/1987:

" … it is a very cold start of the year for the Blessed Virgin who appears - because for more than a fortnight now the persons, who frequent the place, are few, perhaps because they are afraid of the cold. The church is very cold for the apparition, indeed they try every way possible to suffocate it. Beforehand, on feastdays and Sundays, the church was open after the apparition and the Priest used to say Holy Mass. On the other hand for a little while now he has abandoned even the church, but Our Lady, even if there are few of us praying beneath the Oak, appears there just the same … ".

****

Fr. John lets loose the first of his great attacks in the month of May 1987. On Saturday May 9th he breaks crosses and throws them away, he cuts the grass of the Sofferetti enclosure and throws it outside. On Sunday the 10th of May during the homily he publicly denies the apparitions of Sofferetti. On May 14th, in the committee meeting, he throws out Norina Garofano. (who died in 1997).

***

His plan goes very successfully after Mons. Stammati's death which took place on June 7th in 1987. Straightway something happened in those days. Cyrus Favaro received a telephone call at the Seminary of Catanzaro which says: "We are preparing the feast for Mons. Stammati". Why make a telephone call to him? Why to Cyrus Favaro, even if he was only a seminarist, he was a convinced witness of Julia and this hindered the E2 plan. Was it only a joke? It could be, but it would be tried out.

There is another question to be clarified, but which makes one think. A few days from the Bishop's death, Fr. John calls Julia to Sofferetti and orders her: "If there will be any messages about the Bishop's death you will have to give them only to me". What details could an eventual message of Our Lady have about the Bishop's death. Some sort of doubt springs up. Who could be afraid of a message about the Bishop's death. It makes one think! There is something to be cleared up: but this must be done by whoever can and wants to.

In Frank's diary I find written under the date of 18 December 1988: "… Then she confesses to me <i.e. Julia to Frank> some things which came out of her mouth, perhaps by mistake, that the Bishop of Lungro, the one that was there first <Mons. Stammati>, was killed and the Priest <Fr. John> is an accomplice to the murder together with others".

Was this a mistake of Julia since it hypnothised her husband - or are they words which come to her from the heart?

On Thursday 29 June 2000, during her ecstasy, while asking Jesus about the 3rd Secret of Fatima, made public three days before <on 26/6>, I ask questions about the Bishop dressed in white who is killed together with other Bishops.

For the answers I refer to that day. Some were given directly to me, others were written down by Julia the following day and entrusted to me in secret.

***

From what has been disclosed, it turns out that when I arrive at Sofferetti in August 1987 the plan is in full gestation. It developes more in the vacancy period of the Eparchy of Lungro from the death of Mons. John Stammati till the arrival of Mons. Hercules Lupinacci on 22 November 1987.

***

Where is the plan's negativity?

Why is it darkness? Were Satan's collaborators on earth conscious of it? Satan does everything so that there may be no consciousness of his action. It is enough for him that things are done in a worldly manner, throughout the earth and without obedience to God's commands, which arrive at Sofferetti via Julia.

It was tending towards this at Sofferetti: namely to conduct only the business of Sofferetti.

I call it the E(vil)2 plan while thinking about W2, but the W2* is a Worse Plan because it unites "the "evil on earth" with "infernal evil".

Fr. John succumbs the first to this Plan* of Satan

Regarding this being at the service of a plan - Fr. John made me understand it straightaway. It was on October 18th 1987. Julia had not yet returned home and indeed it was not known where she was and if she would return.

Fr. John came with me to the Oak with the visionary of Crosia, whose name is Vincent Fullone. But I do not know whether Vincent was called by him or if he came freely. Vincent told me about having felt like coming. He either lied to me or it was Fr. John who prepared him to say so to whoever might ask him. On that day, like I report later in the premise to the Messages, Fr. John was happy and he told me: "Everything is going the way I want it".

The temptation to a similar plan came with the arrival of the crowds

That the W2 Plan* may be more than a hypothesis, may be argued from the unjustified dissolution of the Committee for the Queen of Peace and of Miracles.

Our Lady having appeared on 24th July 1985, there was a whole flow of pilgrims, who as well as bringing love and prayer to Our Lady brought along offerings, especially when Our Lady through Julia, asked for a church to be built:

"Here my Church will rise and many of you will invoke the Name of my Son (10 November 1985). She goes on to say in other messages that the Church must be Roman Catholic. Our Lady's request was a joy for the faithful, but asked under the sign of Rome it made one think and be worried.

What was end of the sums of money offered? A committee was set up which was free to whoever could participate. The land was bought immediately and a deposit account was opened.

Everything was going well. But one fine day Fr. John woke up badly, and he dissolved the Committee. In order to have a new one it was necessary to enlist in it and to pay. It did not achieve anything, Alphonsus Fiore, told me. He was one of those who registered the land under the name, and is now deceased. This happened before Julia would go to Rome on a mission with the seminarist Cyrus Favaro. On Julia's return from Rome, the defamation starts off: the Rome one was not a mission but an elopement! The Pope of Sofferetti said and delighted in it:"I am happy!" he told me on October 18th 1987. - Why?- I asked him: "Because everything is going like I expected!"

Who conditioned Fr. John most?

The E2 Plan is present in a complete manner when, besides "infernal evil" there exists "evil on earth" in the double aspect of "business" and "connection with magicians and false visionaries".

Seeing that the Official Church of Lungro Diocese kept silent, it was necessary to have some visionary besides Julia and possibly against Julia. This is what Fr. John wanted and those who counted on the Committee. Indeed some of these, especially women like Mirella from Trebisaccia, presented themselves to Fr John as visionaries and with messages. But there would be others who conditioned him more.

a) Pippo from Cosenza

It would be Pippo, a false visionary from Cosenza who does so. He is a nurse in the hospital of Cosenza. He came here having been brought along by the Guarascio family from Cosenza. He said that he also had messages. In one that he was asked for by Frank on 28/12/1987 one deduces from it that it is not heavenly:

"My children, I am here to tell you that shortly you will not see me so as to bring you later into the Heavenly Kingdom. Continue to pray: I will give you peace and every good. I bless you in the name of the Blessed Trinity. Pray pray pray."

The message contrasts with what Our Lady has said: and that is to say that Julia would be the only instrument.

Pippo, during Julia's ecstasy, assumed strange behavior and he contorted, which are signs of satanic influences. As regards the message quoted, I do not know if it was given here or in Cosenza. Apart from the contrast mentioned with the fact that only Julia can be the instrument here at the Oak, the message condemns itself with what it says: a) "Shortly you will not see me", whereas Our Lady is still here; b) and above all the promises are negative: "I will give you peace and every good". The peace that it promises is general, whereas "every good" is even more so and includes all earthly goods. These are not in the line of the Gospel. At Lourdes Our Lady told St. Bernadette: "I will not make you happy on earth but in Heaven". There is no Cross and there is no poverty.

This was also the tenor of the messages of John Barris from Lamezia Terme, whom I condemned with an open letter and Mons. Rimedio thanked me:

"Reverend Don Mario, I thank you for the letter addressed to John Barris and sent to me for information (ref. 3/8/88). I share in its contents and it is entirely ecclesial. Lets hope that the lamentable fact which has for its protagonists the aforementioned "Peter and John" may be reshuffled in order to disappear later. Our faithful, at least some of them, show themselves up without fundamental knowledge and they are taken in by deviations which are so obvious! Unfortunately! Cordially yours and wishing you a fruitful apostolate. 10/8/88. + Vincent Rimedio Bishop of Lamezia" (On today little visionary tracks, Diary no. 3, page 6 and page 46-49).

This false Pippo, however, does not have a following here, as Frank reports in his diary dated 4/1/1987:

"After the message we went into the church where there was Holy Mass celebrated by a Priest, Don Cicco, who came from Cosenza - because our parish priest was sick. After the ceremony it was discussed for a while with the Priest and with some of the Committee regarding Pippo, the other man who said he saw Our Lady and that he too gives messages almost in the same manner that Julia gives them here, because they know his past and present and they say that, ~~since~~ his behavior is such - he cannot be seeing Our Lady and they say that he should not be let enter the enclosure at Sofferetti."

Thus they reach the conclusion of forbidding him from entering the enclosure. Fr. John begged Demetrius from Sofferetti to get interested in this, but Demetrius refused saying: "Do it yourself because you are the parish priest". However it was Father Clement from Acri who condemned him publicly and from that day Pippo did not come anymore to the Oak and he has stayed with the mad ones of Mariano Santo, of whom many are affected by the same evil as Pippo: possessed!

I was writing this note on Sunday 9 April 2000. I tell Julia who was about to go to he Oak, to ask Our Lady if Pippo is of the Order of Light or of the Order of Darkness and Our Lady tells her: "Darkness!"

b) By the Autumn of 1987 there is the visionary Vincent Fullone from Crosia

Pippo does not appear to me to be among those who conditioned Fr. John anymore. Others conditioned him. Who did? In the message of 19 September Our Lady says: "Children, the Church has been invaded by Satan, but especially this church; Satan is triumphing: he is making use of a creature by confusing the Priest with false messages and false apparitions".

Fr. John should have known it. He was seeking certainty about Sofferetti outside of Julia and against Julia. If Fr. John went to call the visionary from Crosia, Vincent Fullone, in the days of Julia's mission to Rome with Cyrus Favaro, then he could be the creature that Satan availed of in order to confuse Fr. John and set him against Julia.

Apart from the mystery of the mission to Rome, I noted immediately the contrast or Julia's opinion about the two visits to Sofferetti made by Vincent Fullone from Crosia (18th and 19th October 1987), where he had two visions and messages, the first in the church and the second at the Oak (ref. Upon today's visionary tracks, pages 7 and 8). For as much as I knew him, Vincent seemed to me to be still good, even if Our Lady - during the stay of Anne Di Biasi (from Mirto Crosia) at Lauria in the month of August of the same year - sent me to reprimand Vincent under the threat that he would not see Our Lady anymore. That same evening I found Vincent invaded by Satan. I spoke with Julia about Vincent Fullone on Ist November 1987. It would have been Fr. John who called him and, in addition, I noted that day: "Julia makes me understand that she learned from Our Lady that at Mirto (she does not say Crosia) Our Lady suffers and weeps and that there are no visionaries there (Vincent especially would have a great magnetic force) <ref. quoted diary page 11>".

If it was thus, Vincent could have been the very creature by which Satan would have been served in order to confuse Fr. John, as said in the message of 19th October 1987.

Certainly, Vincent will not make a nice end! From there some months ago he would even have thrown consecrated hosts on the ground, Fr. Urban tells me from Pescara and his parish priest at Crosia Fr. Gigino confirms it, on 5 March 1988 (ref. On today visionary tracks, diary no. 3, pages 44-45). Vincent did not obey Fr. Gigino and he did not entrust himself to me. Besides he let himself be influenced and manipulated by journalists. One television operator, as a matter of fact, transmits a program of one of Vincent's ecstasies, during which I myself saw blood run from the wound of his arm, which was done to him by the same operator, one Bishop of Calabria confides in me. However this does not disclaim the Tears shed by the Pietà statue, which is an independent fact of the visions of Anne and Vincent. Even Julia went there straightaway and she confirmed Crosia as a place of Mary's Tears. Certainly Julia brings mysteries and gives birth to mysteries which are not easily understood and discerned! I limited myself that day to counselling her not to speak about her judgement on Vincent in order not to create disbandment in this difficult world of today's visionaries, just like Jesus had announced moreover for the times of his return: "False Christs and false prophets will arise … so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect" (Mt. 24:24). At that time Julia had barely returned from Rome and when she said it to me, since it was not the fruit of ecstasy, they seemed to me like personal resentments. More indicative is a dream vision which she tells me today and which she had had at the beginnings of the apparitions. This is the way she writes it down on 7/6/2000:

"A Dream vision. I saw a great crowd of people who were running. They were all in a hurry to get to the Oak. They did not let me go there because there was a youth there all dressed in red who had to do something which I should not see and he had taken my place. Bishops and Cardinals in ancient cars all in red, were hastening there. What should have happened, did not happen and I managed to go behind the Oak. Everybody was asking themselves what had happened. Fr. John saw me from a distance and told me to come down. When I got there, I saw who the boy was who was dressed in red and it was Vincent. Fr. John excused himself and said to me: - Behold, since when have you come, behold what you have done "and he showed me a cloth-painting with the Holy Doctors in gold. I answered him: - I have done no miracle -. And he repeated: - This which you have done is great and everyone should know about it, for now I will keep it a secret -. After this the ancient cars went off and the valley remained empty and the young man dressed in red laughed at the top of his voice because he was not able to let me enter".

Julia had seen Vincent at Crosia. I know him only to see. I ask Julia: Are you convinced that that young man in red was Vincent? Julia: "Absolutely!

***

From the very first day I perceived that there was a double of Vincent: positive in ecstasy, negative and under Satan's red outside of ecstasy. As already said, I met him for the first time (with Fr. Urban Pittiglio from Casauria PE) at Crosia on 27 July 1987 and he, to whom we had not yet been introduced, said: - I am expecting two Priests - two Cardinals should come today too and then in September the Pope will come here" (ref. On today's visionary tracks, no. zero, namely the first diary, page 41).

Crosia does not last for long on account of the second Vincent and many faithful and Priests are also to blame too: they petted more the Vincent out of ecstasy than the one in ecstasy. The official apparitions at Crosia finished on September 12th 1988.

c) From the summer of 1988 onwards the magician from Talsano in Taranto gets up on the throne

It is the magician Vito Nobile. To go deeper go to document no. 6. Here I advance the diary entry of 9 December 1988. Vito Nobile the magician, the miraculously cured Angelo Giannico and others go to Julia's house.

Vito asks where did the money finish up which was given by him for the church and especially he manifests himself as a visionary and wants protection and the exclusive right to enter the enclosure. Julia does not receive him. Fr. John will receive him later on. Here is how Frank refers to the pretexts of the Magician from Talsano:

From Frank's Diary: "Friday 9 December 1988 - I start off working. After some months I start working again every day with the T.B. (fruit-processing firm), last year's one, in the factory. I come home at midday. I find a car there from Taranto, a certain Vito who comes to Sofferetti every 19th of the month. Julia does not let them come in. They were speaking outside. The car was full of men. Angelo Giannico was there also: the one who was cured miraculously. This Vito wanted to speak with Cyrus <De Donato> and others saying that something must be done to build the church. He wanted to know where the money went which he had given, but above all what he wanted was this: he wanted protection since he is a visionary and he wants the people who are near him in the enclosure and other <persons> must not enter the enclosure, only he should be there and his friends. In the evening this was referred to Cyrus who passes by the house with his wife and he comes to the Thurio group in the church".

The Priest who were welcomed and then gone away

Among the Prists who arrived at Sofferetti, these ones are remembered: Fr. Joseph Tallarico, parish priest of Sersale (he also came to Castelgandolfo with us on 15 August 1989), Mons. Muller from Naples, the Cappuchins from Acri: Fr. Clement, Fr. John, Brother Christopher. The aforementioned Priests are the only ones that I met at Sofferetti. Other Priests, but whom I have not met are: Fr Rastrelli S.J. and Fr. Joseph from Naples, Mons. Scampini from Rome, Fr. Civerra di Andria, Fr. Ildelfonso (Africa), Fr. Ciccio Santa Guida (Satriano CZ), and among those nearby: Fr. Pierino Martucci (Cassano), Fr. Peppino from Cassano, Fr. Ciccio Miceli (Cosenza), Fr. Lorenzo( Cosenza), Fr. Dante (Cosenza), Fr. Paschal Rugna (Corigliano), Fr. John, parish priest of Soverato, the seminarist UGO (later a Priest), Fr. Massimo De Novellis (Julia's parish priest until 1988), Fr. Marcello (a Canadian in Italy and often at Spezzano), Fr. Francis from Serra St. Bruno, Fr. Anthony Guarascio (Rossano), Fr. Carmine (now parish priest of Castello at Castrovillari).

Those who scattered - and the persecutors

Mario Zenna: as announced in the messages, was important only as far as the 19th of the month messages. He didn't count after that.

Cyrus De Donato: the Juridiciary Official, who had the second key of Sofferetti but lost it through presumption. He has not even declared that he has lost it. He loved the Heavenly Mother well, perhaps he foresaw his betrayal and he left me as a bequest a reserved one entitled: God's Message-Boy to be utilized when I thought opportune (ref. doc 4).

Cyrus Favaro: the seminarist, now a priest, who lives with remorse of conscience, but is afraid of his parents and uncle and has forgotten the Gospel: He who loves father or mother more than me, is not worthy of me.

Fr. John Cassiano: the Parish Priest of Sofferetti who did like Esaù and has sold for a plate of lentils the primogeniture of spiritual assistance to the Little Cross.

Angelo Giannico from Talsano: one who was miraculously healed thanks to Julia's prayers, who instead of making the Miracle and Sofferetti known has gone to dinner with Satan and accepts his messages while spreading them as messages of Our Lady of Sofferetti.

The Bishops of Lungro, Mons. John Stammati and Mons. Hercules Lupinacci: the first believed Julia and dies of an unverified death; the second, a good Bishop and well disposed, but he is afraid to overcome the obstacles.

Fr. Massimus De Novellis: the parish priest of Thurio, was excessively enthisiastic of Julia, but later on the roads to Placanica brother Cosmos appeared to him and he falls into a more strained darkness.

The No here is the No everywhere!

You may find it somewhat exaggerated and personal all that is said about the E2 Plan here at Sofferetti. Skip over it, but you will find it everywhere. The No here, in fact, is none other than the No which is found again and again in all the apparitions of these last decades. No is said by the Hierarchy because - though some Bishop's willing (like Mons. Joseph Agostino, President of the Calabrian Episcopal Conference, who was formerly Bishop of Crotone and is now Bishop of Cosenza <(ref. doc 8)>) - they do not understand the daily apparitions of the Mother of God, which are seen more to be almost in contrast with the Gospel and Tradition. This happens because in the whole Church because the E2 Plan is reigning. The Church in its great structures is in a phase of metastasis and it bears the signs of Satan on the forehead <mind and hence laicized culture and faith > and on the hand <riches in place of poverty>. The faith in the Church has become a product of the world. The warning of Jesus has been completely forgotten: Be in the world, without being of the world. To be of the world is be Satan's! This is what the Mother of the Church comes to cry out weeping: the Gospel of Poverty. And She is shouting it out in order to set us free and to give us what She calls the Great Miracle which is none other than the Return of Christ: not to destroy or punish the world, but to free it from Satan.

This is the Gospel. This is the Tradition of the Church which, in its Fathers and in its Saints, have repeated, shouted and witnessed with the Apostle of Love its No to the world because it loves and waits for the Bridegroom: Come quickly, Lord Jesus!

Soffferetti and the Room

Jesus who is about to come is the true Third Secret of Fatima. In the Sun of God will arise the Fullness of the Heart of the Cross. For this glorious event of the Crucified, Mary is walking as a Pilgrim throughout the whole world, but here she has raised up the the Altar of Mercy for everybody and she has chosen in Julia her little instrument for fulfilling the Complete Childbirth of the Cross:

"God the Father has chosen this place where to speak and before choosing this place he has chosen the Little Stubborn One in her mother's womb" (message at the Oak on 12/3/2OOO).

This future of the Cross is the Complete Humanity of Christ given to all mankind. It is Eucharistic Fullness. It is the Complete Mass. It is to such an extent in Parusia that it is lived already in the Room. Jesus comes to eat and drink with us, as promised in the Last Supper: "I shall not drink again of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it New with you in my Father's Kingdom" (Mt.26,29).

This is Fatima. This is the Trinitarian Plan:

the M Plan

M as in Mary,

M as Mother

of God and of Humanity

And an Angel told me:

"Do not be in a hurry, it is not yet the hour!"

It was a summer's night while I was in 2nd year of High School. I had barely returned to the Regional Pontifical Seminary of Salerno… which has now been sold to the State! I saw or dreamt of an Angel like the one of the Annunciation. The vision lasted very little time so that the Angel might say to me: "Do not be in a hurry, it is not yet the hour!"

Now the Angel would say to me:

"Hurry because the hour has come!"

And that hour announced to me is Jesus who comes. It is Jesus who wants the way prepared by accepting our Mother's words and doing what She asks: to spread the messages, to consecrate to the Two Hearts, to bless and to walk on.

So many journeys! Here are the principal ones:

· Journeys to bless Cathedrals, Sanctuaries and churches. The cathedrals of Calabria - we have blessed them all. In some the Dragon awaited us. The biggest and most menacing one was before the Cathedral of Lungro.

· The journeys of August 15th. Here are the places cronologically: 1) 1989 (To the the Pope at Castel Gandolfo). 2) 1990 (Medjugorje). 3) 1991 (St. Mary at Serra St. Bruno in Catanzaro). 4) 1992 (St. Elijah's chapel at Lauria). 5) 1993 (at the Olive of St. Onofrio in Vibo Valentia). 6) 1994 (the same: Olive of St. Onofrio at Vibo Valentia). 7) 1995 (Fatima). 8) 1996 (Lourdes). 9) 1997 (Holy House of Loreto). 10) 1998 (St.Elijah's at Lauria). 11) 1999 (at the Room). 12) 2000 (at the Room).

While tavelling along in the car, Julia at times remained with us only in body, whereas the spirit went elsewhere. Where are you? She often answered: In the Vatican! This is the principal mission which awaits us: the Pope!

The Message which comes from Julia is

Jesus Is Coming: He is at the gates!

He comes in the Fulness of the Eucharist.

Mary is the Odigitria-Leader: the Way!

At the ROOM: it's the Parusia.

Watch out for other indications!
