The work began with the prayer to the Universal Mother.

After an hour of prayer, Mother Shimani intoned the "Hail Mary," announcing the approach of Our Lady.

While everybody continued in prayer, Friar Elías stood up and approached the tree where the Celestial Mother appeared. He remained there for some time and then returned to the place where he had been seated.

At a certain moment, a profound silence occurred and Friar Elías described what had happened.

Friar Elías del Sagrado Corazón de Jesús:

While we were praying, the Lady appeared dressed in white, and in the center of Her Chest, a red Heart shone. She continued praying with us for a long time, until She asked me to approach.

She said that today She wanted to see us pray the 150 beads of the Luminous Bird again. As She said those Words, souls appeared behind Her rising through channels of Light that were projected toward the sky.

Afterwards, She asked why we had not planted the roses and flowers, since the flowers and roses were not a symbol for Her to venerate Herself, but rather, those flowers carry the symbol of causing souls to blossom.

So She then asked that a group of female beings plant the flowers this afternoon while praying. She said She would accompany us in that task.

She then said She sees many hearts that are still closed and She did not mind that because She would manage to reign in those hearts. For that, She asked that we should prepare ourselves through the prayer of the Luminous Bird, the 150 beads, during this afternoon, because Her manifestation during the night will be much stronger. She asked that we prepare ourselves for that meeting.

While She spoke, She continued to pray with us. At the end, we asked Her what else She wanted at this time, She told us:

"I do not want anything else, just that we continue praying.”

At the end, we asked Her about the "Acolhimento da Esperança" (1) of the Casa Luz de la Colina, if She had something to say to us concerning that task. So She responded:

"You are not realizing it, you are closing the doors. You must open them so that the enemy may also enter and be loved. Open the doors to all, to all."

That is what She said to us, and then She disappeared.

To end the meeting, some beads of the prayer "Luminous Bird" were prayed.

(1) "Acolhimento da Esperança" (Welcoming of Hope): It is an area of Figueira dedicated to the care of patients of various types and severities.
