Disclaimer – Information regarding the Website’s Content

You are invited to consult this website in light of the words of St. Paul in 1 Thessalonians 5:19–21:

“Do not quench the Spirit. Do not despise prophecies. Test everything; hold fast to what is good.”

“In every age, the Church has received the charism of prophecy, which must be examined but not despised.” (Cardinal Ratzinger (BENEDICT XVI), Message of Fatima, Theological Commentary, www.vatican.va)

In light of this wisdom, proceed with caution under the guidance of Scripture and Tradition, without ever placing all your hope or trusting in the words of a single prophet or seer, much less of many. This site includes what is defined as “private revelation,” past and present. The term “private” might be considered improper, since much of private revelation has been made public, such as the Rosary, revealed by Our Lady to St. Dominic, the Brown Scapular revealed to St. Simon Stock, and the devotions to Divine Mercy (which include Divine Mercy Sunday and the Chaplet of Divine Mercy) originating from the “private” revelation of Jesus to St. Faustina Kowalska.

Public revelation, on the other hand, refers to the Deposit of Faith: Scripture and Tradition interpreted by the True Magisterium, the official teaching of the Catholic Church. Public revelation ended with the death of the last of the twelve apostles. This end does not mean, however, that God has ceased to speak to present generations. He still does.

The words from Heaven are often interpreted through our imperfect humanity, and errors can sometimes occur.

Saint Faustina Kowalska, the apostle of Divine Mercy, believed that an angel of God had told her to throw her Diary into the fire, and so she did. The angel, however, was Satan, and she had to rewrite the entire Diary from scratch.

Saint Paul believed that Jesus would return to earth during his lifetime, and his zeal was fueled by this mistaken belief. Jesus did not come in his time. Yet, we would never throw away everything else these two great saints wrote and prophesied based on their errors. Nor do their errors diminish their holiness. They are human beings.

The visionaries and those who receive locutions on this website are also human beings. We invite you to read all the messages with this awareness in mind.

With the publication of the document Guidelines for Discerning Alleged Supernatural Phenomena, the Catholic Church has abdicated its historical role of definitively discerning phenomena as supernatural, while retaining its role of condemning such phenomena—even when the events may have previously received the Church’s approval.
The highest approval the Vatican now grants to a supernatural claim is the “Nihil Obstat,” which means that nothing contrary to faith or morals is taking place. The apparitions at Medjugorje, for example, have received this approval.

The inclusion of certain visionaries and locutors on this website does not constitute an endorsement of everything they have ever said or written. The reader’s discernment must be cautious and sober, bearing in mind that the numerous languages on the site, other than the original English, are provided by an automatic translator that may cause errors. The content of the messages is the responsibility of the visionary or locutor, and, if evaluated by the competent ecclesiastical authority, the responsibility falls on that authority.

The faithful are not the final arbiters of private revelation, but neither are they strangers to it. As the Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches us:

“It is not the task of [so-called ‘private revelations’] to improve or complete the definitive revelation of Christ, but to help live it more fully in a specific period of history. Guided by the Magisterium of the Church, the sensus fidelium [the sense of the faithful] knows how to discern and accept in these revelations what constitutes an authentic call from Christ or his saints to the Church…” (§67)
