I come from Heaven with the hope that My children have understood all that I have said, knowing that time is lacking for them to be able to make so many changes, and that these changes that will come into your lives will have you face new events, as will all of your brothers and sisters and all the nations of the world that must testify to their inner change.

This is the time of your great change so that the new can come and renew you.

Today I come full of Grace because of again being in this blessed place that continues to reaffirm and live its devotion to My Immaculate Heart, which is what allows the whole world to have Me intercede and save lost souls.

Today you have spiritually entered into the Kingdom of Fatima through your singing and your prayers. Something so simple as this, My children, is what made it possible for you to make inner contact with the true Treasures of God, which are on this planet and also in the Universe.

Today I not only speak to you about My sorrow as a Mother, but also about My joy, because souls take small steps on the path of transformation and of surrender, steps that will lead them to live the preparatory time for the return of Christ, just as the rest of humanity should live it because this time, My children, is now very close, it is about to happen. It is about to show itself and be revealed to the world.

Thus, I invite you day and night to the path of conversion, not only through a life of prayer that may illuminate your cells and atoms and all of your consciousness, but also through a path of service that Europe must experience and practice in this definitive time so as to compensate for the errors committed in the past, which nobody has paid for yet.

But through My Grace and My Love, through the Light that emerges from My Immaculate Heart, coming from the Most High, the Almighty, I grant you, My children, a time of reparation so that your lives can be illuminated and transformed, be the example that Christ needs on Earth so that He can soon return and be amongst His Own, carrying His Word of encouragement and hope again to convert all lives and all hearts.

I ask all this of you, My children, because the time of suffering has not ended; souls are in agony for themselves and for the consequences of their fellow beings. But I invite you, in this hour, to a moment of reparation, not only in the real living of the Sacraments, but in the time of adoration, in the time of service and of peace, in the time of the good that you are able to generate and give to your brothers and sisters for these so difficult times.

I invite you, My children, I remind you, My children, the same that I said here and in other places of the world, to live Christ in a simple way, to be a part of Christ, of His Consciousness and of His Heart, because He still needs many more hands to be able to labor and help the world, in obscure and unknown places where the light and the love have not yet arrived.

This also is a task for all the brothers and sisters of Europe, for all the followers of Christ who are to be found here. He hopes to see that this can be done, that it can be alive within you, that it not be a tepid nor cold commitment but rather, through surrender and service to others, not only for Europe but also for Africa, you may finally learn to step out of yourselves so that the love of My Son is able to work in you and in the world.

But this will happen, My children, when you take the first step and the first surrender. My Son lovingly prepared you in these last days to take the next seven steps. This will not be a mystery, nor a theory; it will be something alive in you, something that you must consciously practice and exercise.

For this reason, My maternal love, the love of My Son and the love of Saint Joseph will fill your nation and the nations of Europe, spending some time here, sharing with My dear children the impulses of knowledge and of instruction, not only to have your spirits grow in love and in truth, but so that the surrender, so awaited for by the Eternal Father, may be true. Because His ardent desire, His most intimate thought, is that all may be saved and be part of this new humanity, which must first be born within you to afterwards be a reality on the whole planet.

As a means, I offer you My Immaculate and maternal Heart. My Voice will not tire of pronouncing in this world, and of speaking in various languages, so that all peoples, all races and cultures may prepare for the arrival of Christ to humanity in the most culminating moment of the planet and of the entire race in which the doors of light will open on this planet for the arrival of the Universal King. A moment in which He will expel and exorcise all the evil present on Earth and in humankind, and the triumph and the victory of His Heart will no longer be a promise, but a reality that you will live consciously for the thousand years of peace.

As the Mother of Consolation and Mother of Grace, I prepare you, My children, for these events. It is no longer the time to just speak beautiful words, it is time to speak the truth as My Son taught you a long time ago.

It is time to practice good, it is time to proclaim peace, it is time to unite nations in one voice and in one prayer. It is time to receive Christ within you and to commune with His Divine Spirit; in this way, you will be saved and will achieve redemption.

So that My Grace not only continues to be poured out in Portugal, but also in Europe and in Africa, I have need of the response of My children, of the adherence of the soldiers of Christ so that the project of redemption may be accomplished on this Earth, overcoming limits, obstacles, transcending challenges, overcoming barriers, opening the doors of the heart to welcome the fellow being, the immigrant, the refugee, the foreigner.

This is what Europe must do in this time, because the planet and the continents are a gift of God for all beings.

Creation is of humanity and of those who should be consecrated as worthy children of God.

On this eighth of May a cycle is completed and another begins until the eighth of August, when everything will be more defined and clear.

Thus, My children, you still have time to be concentrated and united with the purpose of God without becoming distracted, in which all your attention and fervor must be on the words of Our Messages so that the world may reconsider, so that souls may awaken and know that a new time is coming in which suffering will no longer exist and pain will not prevail but rather, the happiness of serving God.

I only need, My children, for you to attain the truth so that you may be free of yourselves and labor in peace.

Fatima will always be your place and your refuge; what I left here will never be lost, in spite of what may happen on the surface. Because Fatima, as spiritual rather than mundane consciousness, can dwell within you. You can be the light that carries souls toward peace, just as I conveyed peace, through Fatima, to millions of souls in the world.

Because the light that leads to peace is the love of the true heart, the love that vivifies and feels Christ and that always has Him present within. This makes you be within Fatima, in any place, so as to be able to convey peace to the world and the end of spiritual captivity.

Be instruments of the Most High Father, make an effort and completely transform your lives because, in the falls or in the temptations, I will be there to bolster and strengthen you in faith and in love, and in the purpose and the conviction of living Christ.

Like a Mother, Who does not tire and does not rest, I come to give the testimony of My Love again through the consecration of new Children of Mary. In this moment, hearing the hymn of your consecration, I call these, My children, who in the name of humanity and the planet will today take a new step so that all may be transformed and converted according to the Will of God, so that souls may achieve eternal life and the joy of doing the good and accomplishing the good wherever they are.

Therefore, I call you, My children, to give you My blessing in this new task and in this new commitment that you endure today, before your Heavenly Mother, knowing that this consecration which you are experiencing today in the Sanctuary of Fatima opens the doors so that you can journey on the path of your original purity, an innocence that the whole world must urgently recover, because of having separated itself from God, and mainly from Supreme Truth.

This is why this step that you are taking today, My children, is not only for you but also for the world.

My maternal intention is that you always pray together, as many times as you can, for the souls that must return to the arms of God and recover their essential purity, contaminated by the world adversity and illusion.

Your prayers will always reach My maternal Heart because I will always remember and will never forget what I have asked of you.

Your consecration is a step for many more, for those who must take it someday and that through fear, failure or error, cannot manage to do so. Just as I welcome you, embrace you and receive you into My Immaculate Heart, receive your fellow beings into your hearts.

Be the testimonial to the Love of Christ for all of Europe. Share this love that you receive today from My Immaculate Heart and make Jesus happy so that He may always return in Divinity and in Spirit to pour out His Mercy on Earth and close the abysses of illusion and of evil, so that souls may recover their hope of being here and may awaken to their mission in this time.

Let us pray together to the Celestial Father because He is Who grants this time of extraordinary Grace in the world and draws toward Himself all His children to fill them with His Love, to give them impulse with His Mercy, to redeem them and heal them through the impulse of His Divine Light.

In the name of the Love of God, let us pray: Our Father (in Portuguese).

May My Heart and My Life always be the portal that, through Fatima, leads you into peace. Amen.

I consecrate you and vivify you in the Love of Christ, our Lord and Redeemer. In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen

At the request of Jesus Christ, I thank you for having fulfilled this first stage of this pilgrimage and we ardently hope, under the Flame of the Love of God, that the graces and mercies of the Eternal Father be poured out upon all nations.

I thank you.

You can sing to My Heart.

Song: Hymn of the Children of Mary.
