You Do not Know the Day nor the Hour
Maria says: (Maria Mother and Teacher, Vol. 1) “My dear children, here I am to share your sorrows and your apprehensions.
I am the Sorrowful Virgin, and if my sorrow for the loss of my divine Son was enormous, no less is the sorrow that I feel in seeing many other children who, dying suddenly and in mortal sin, are irremediably lost.
You will ask me how come the Lord in his infinite goodness allows many to be lost, and I answer you in order to clarify your ideas. You have received the gift of life which you must live united with God by means of grace. You are weak and you fall and the Lord gives you in the sacraments the means to raise yourselves up and resume the journey.
You are going through a period of trial, which having overcome, a happiness without measure and without end awaits you. You do not know when this trial will end. It can be short or long, but for however it is prolonged, even for many years, it is still short in relation to eternity.
Well then, my Jesus said to all men: “Be prepared, because you do not know neither the day nor the hour in which an account will be asked of you (Mt 2:13).”
Many men forget this warning and behold some calamity or catastrophe or tragedy arrives to remind everyone how death can come in the most untaught of way and suddenly.
It is for the spiritual good of many that an evil is permitted of a few. It is true, you say that the Lord, knowing everything, could warn the persons concerned so that they are able to put themselves in safety.
Well then, do you remember the parable narrated in the Gospel. The rich man Dives asked: “Father Abraham, send to warn my brothers that they don’t do like me (Lk 16:27-28).”
But Abraham answered: “They have the Law and the Prophets. Certainly they would not listen even to the angels if they were to go to warn them.” That’s how it would be for those on whom a deadly disaster hangs if they were warned: they would not believe.
Do you see how I go about inviting all to prayer, to goodness, to mercy, to penance? How many are they who listen to me? And yet you know and all know how brief life is. That’s why I say to you insistently: my children, stay in the grace of God and if you should happen to fall into sin, hurry to ask pardon from God. If you do like so, death shall never be sudden for you.
I guide your steps and you follow me and help me. Know that an immense number of souls appear before the judgment of God daily. You must help me to save them. Run in spirit along the streets of the world and bring the Blood of my Jesus and with it wash the souls of the dying.
Say like so: “Eternal Father, we offer You the Blood of Jesus, your divine Son, and the tears of his Mother to wash the souls of the dying of this day or of this night.”
Know that the value of this offering is very great and you with this simple invocation can save many souls. And now, my children, as I assure you of my special protection, I bless you with a heart full of love.”

The thoughts, the reflections and the meditations in this booklet, were inspired by Our Mother Maria, Mother of Jesus, to Carmela Negri Carabelli. They are, however, addressed to all those souls, who, desirous to love the Lord, seek to put into practice his teachings and to live the Christian life more perfectly. May Jesus bless these pages and those who read them with the desire to improve themselves, granting the help of his grace.
Pray for the Church, its Hierarchies, the validly ordained and consecrated during this time of confusion and apostasy. Do not fall into the trap of division, even with apparent good reasons. Turn your eyes to the lives of saints, such as St. Martin de Porres, St. Padre Pio of Pietrelcina, the former discriminated against and the latter fought by the same institution. Let their behavior in adversity be an example for you to follow…
“The Church is God’s house. It is forbidden for men to enter here with bare arms and wearing shorts. It is forbidden for women to enter wearing trousers, bare headed, with short, low-necked or sleeveless dresses.”
“Parents, correct the ways if your family, have much dialogue with your children, make time to listen to them as many homes are being lost due to lack of love, dialogue, understanding and most specially for not inviting God. Take God back into your homes, pray my Holy Rosary, as the family that prays together stays together.” 
January 31, 2022 "Heavenly Father, today, I surrender to You my heart. Help me to be Your instrument in the world. Cover me with the Precious Blood of Your Divine Son. Guard me against all evil. Protect me from any evil plan Satan may have for me today. Clothe me in Your Divine Will. Amen"
"O Hearts of Jesus and Mary; I consecrate myself, I consecrate my family and the whole world, to your Most Beloved Hearts. Listen to the supplication which I making to you and accept our hearts in Yours, to be delivered and protected we, the whole world, from all evil and all sin. May the protection of your Two Hearts be refuge, strength, and protection, in the daily spiritual struggles. That the power of your Two Hearts irradiates the world so that it is protected from evil and sin. We willingly consecrate ourselves and consecrate all mankind to your Hearts; sure and confident, for your Great Mercy, to obtain the victory over the forces of evil in this world, and the eternal Glory in the Kingdom of God. Amen"
"O Virgin of Carmel, may the power of your Holy Scapular take away from me the enemy of my soul; bless me, Mother of Carmel, and deliver me from all evil and danger in this world. I ask you O Mother, that in the hour of my death, your Holy Scapular frees me from the fury of the devil and in the eternity, of the eternal fire. Amen" 
"Oh Jesus of Divine Mercy, hear my pleadings to you, for I am here to do your Will"
"O glorious St. Joseph! by your profound humility, by your unalterable meekness, by your invincible patience, by your angelic purity and perfect fidelity that made you a timely imitator of the virtues of Jesus and Mary, I ask you to console me in all my sorrows, to guide me in all my doubts, to defend me in all temptations, to deliver me from all spiritual and material dangers; to extend your arm against all my visible and invisible enemies, breaking and destroying all the snares and barriers that they tend and arm against me. Amen" 
"Oh, blessed Saint Michael, protect us from the attacks and snares of the evil spirits because you know full well that we are poor mortals, fragile and weak, in need of the Mercy of God and of your protection to fulfill the mission that Heaven has commissioned to us. Oh, Saint Michael, may your victorious cry: “who is like God? no one is like God”, suppress and cast into Hell satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the destruction of souls. Amen"
Most sweet Jesus, redeemer of the human race, look down upon us, humbly prostrate before your altar. We are yours and yours we wish to be; but to be more surely united with you, behold each one of us freely consecrates himself today to your most sacred heart. Many, indeed, have never known you, many too, despising your precepts, have rejected you. Have mercy on them all, most merciful Jesus, and draw them to your sacred heart. Be you king, O Lord, not only of the faithful who have never forsaken you, but also of the prodigal children who have abandoned you; grant that they may quickly return to their father’s house, lest they die of wretchedness and hunger. Be you king of those who are deceived by erroneous opinions, or whom discord keeps aloof, and call them back to the harbor of truth and unity of faith, so that soon there may be but one flock and one shepherd. Be you king also of all those who sit in the ancient superstition of the Gentiles, and refuse not you to deliver them out of darkness into the light and kingdom of God. Grant, O Lord, to your Church, assurance of freedom and immunity from harm; give peace and order to all nations, and make the earth resound from pole to pole with one cry: Praise to the divine heart that wrought our salvation; to it be glory and honor forever. Amen.
