July 26, 2026 – Excerpts from the Messages of the Blessed Virgin Mary to Simona and Angela. Apparitions at Zaro, Ischia, Italy
1. My children, a great spiritual battle is coming
2. Learn to love and pray. Learn not to judge
§1
1. My children, a great spiritual battle is coming
Angela: “This afternoon, the Virgin Mary appeared dressed entirely in white. … Her hands were clasped in prayer, and in her hands she held a long rosary … Her feet were bare and rested upon the world. The world was shrouded in a thick gray smoke. [The Virgin] let a part of her mantle slip down and covered a portion of the world…”
The Blessed Virgin Mary: «Praised be Jesus Christ.
Dear children, today once again I invite all of you to pray and to live in unity.
Children, I love you, and your presence here in My blessed grove fills My Heart with joy.
Children, do not be afraid to be witnesses to the truth. I know well that you are going through difficult times, but do not be afraid: you are not alone.
My children, once again I invite you to form prayer groups in your homes and in your churches. Pray that this may come to pass soon.
Children, I desire that your homes be filled with the fragrance of prayer. Pray for the unity of families, which are increasingly threatened and divided by the false allurements of this world.
My children, pray for My beloved Church and for My priests. Some of them cause Me great suffering because, through their actions, they lead the people of God away from the Truth and from grace.
Children, pray that the authentic Magisterium of the Church may never be lost.
Pray for the Pope, for the bishops, and for all priests, that they may carry out their ministry with love and fidelity.
My children, a great spiritual battle is coming. Every Christian will be called to face a great trial. Many will lose their faith, and many will deny God. But do not be afraid: I am with you every day and I guide you to My Son Jesus. Only in Him is there true peace and salvation.
The Church needs much prayer and true worshippers. Kneel down and remain in silence before Jesus, who, in the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar, gives Himself to you.
I also invite you to pray fervently for peace in the world. So many hearts are far from God, and that is why there are wars, divisions, and hatred.
Pray for the conversion of humanity, which is growing ever farther from God.
Remain in My love and be witnesses to My love.
I hold you all close to My Immaculate Heart and bless you:
In the Name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit (+). Amen».
§2
2. Learn to love and pray. Learn not to judge
Simona: “I saw the Mother of the Good Shepherd. She was wearing a blue mantle … her arms were outstretched in a gesture of welcome. In her right hand she held a long rosary … and in her left hand a shepherd’s staff with a curved tip and a little bell at the end. … Her bare feet rested on a rock…”
The Blessed Virgin Mary: «Praised be Jesus Christ.
My dear children:
- I have come to gather My flock.
- I have come to take you by the hand and lead you to My beloved Jesus.
- I come to you through the Father’s immense mercy.
Children, I am not the end but the means. I lead you by the hand to My beloved Jesus: only in Him is there true peace, true love.
My children, pray for My beloved Church; pray for My beloved and chosen children (the priests).
- When one of these children of Mine errs and falls, it makes a great deal of noise, like a huge tree falling to the ground and dragging along with it many of My smaller and weaker children, whose faith is not firm.
- When, on the other hand, one of these My chosen children does good, it is like a pin falling to the ground: no one hears it.
My children, learn to love and pray for My beloved and chosen sons; learn not to judge.
Children, they are the ones most tempted by evil; they are a thorn in the side of the evil one; they frighten him because their hands are anointed; they are consecrated, and for this reason he tries to make them fall in every way possible.
Pray, children, pray for them, that they may become ever more like the Heart of My Jesus:
- That they may always choose the path of goodness, peace, and love; the way of the Cross that leads to the final resurrection; that they may turn away from evil and temptations.
- That they may follow Christ in every way;
- That they may always be ready to fulfill His will;
- May they not forget their love for the Lord;
- May they remain faithful to their consecration;
- May they remain steadfast in the faith.
Pray, My children, that My beloved Church may be One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic, and that the true Magisterium of the faith may not be lost.
Now I give you My Holy Blessing.
Thank you for coming to Me».

Brief history of the Apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Zaro, Ischia, Italy.
In the heart of the forest of Zaro, located in the municipality of Forio, apparitions of Our Lady have been taking place twice a month since 1993. The phenomenon has not yet been clarified by the Church, yet there are many, Ischitans and non-Ischitans alike, who come to Ischia to witness and pray. Since that day, Our Lady seems to have entrusted the group of visionaries with several messages and some prophecies that, perhaps by chance, have been fulfilled. In 1993, the first apparition for Paolo and his brother Luigi, a year later Imma, Marianna and Simona joined the group and that part of the Zaro woods became, by the will of Heavenly Mother, a blessed place. Since that year hordes of faithful have been going every 8th and 26th of the month to pray and to witness the apparitions; from the initial group the only two remaining visionaries are Angela and Simona. Since 1995, the children, once they received the messages, recited them sitting there, giving interviews to the various media, who flocked from all over Italy intrigued by the mystery. The bishop at the time entrusted the parish priest of Lacco Ameno with the task of guarding the messages, some too serious to be entrusted to the population without any filter. In 1995 Angela and Simona had a vision of the destruction of two towers; when they asked Heavenly Mother where the towers were, the image of the Statue of Liberty appeared to them. Several years later was the attack on the Twin Towers. It is evocative of the moment of the apparition; during the hours of prayer, the silence of the forest becomes one with the continuous chanting of the rosary. Suddenly, on the faces of the two seers, a continuous blinking of the eyes. The two seers say that before their eyes appears a sphere of light that from above rests suspended on the stone; it is Our Lady, a young girl about fifteen years old with a dark complexion, all dressed in white with a gold belt around her waist with a heart made of roses in the center. The seers are, thus, caught in a mystical ecstasy and, prone on the ground, rest their spirits in a moment of extreme communion with the mysterious world illuminated by the higher spirits. Where is the forest of Zaro located? Zaro is a wooded locality located in the municipality of Forio d’Ischia and which also borders the municipality of Lacco Ameno (isoladischia.com).

God the Father: «
"If you knew how you shine after duly approaching the Sacrament of Confession. "Jesus is in the Confessional and He hears every word, sees into every corner of your heart and Is eager to bestow the graces inherent in His Forgiveness.
"I ask to end to this abomination! No more of extraordinary Ministers of the Eucharist, no more of Communions in the hand!"
"Oh Jesus of Divine Mercy, hear my pleadings to you, for I am here to do your Will!"
"I place myself in the presence of the Most Holy Trinity (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) and by the power of the Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ, I break, undo, trample, annihilate, render ineffective, and erase from my physical, psychic, biological, and spiritual being every curse that has been placed on me, on my family and family tree, on any person, family member, or ancestor through acts of occultism or spiritism. By the power of the Precious Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ and through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, St. Michael, St. Gabriel, and St. Raphael, I break and render ineffective every curse, whatever its nature, in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen (Repeat the prayer 3 times)" 
"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"
"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"
