August 26, 2026 – Excerpts from the Messages of the Blessed Virgin Mary to Simona and Angela. Apparitions of Our Lady in Zaro, Ischia, Italy
1. Strengthen your faith through the Holy Sacraments
2. The hour of trial is near
§1
1. Strengthen your faith through the Holy Sacraments
Simona: “I saw [the Blessed Virgin Mary]; she was dressed in white, with a thin white veil on her head and a queen’s crown, and a wide blue mantle draped over her shoulders that reached all the way down to her feet, which rested barefoot upon the earth. … Her hands were clasped in prayer, and between them was a long rosary made to look like drops of ice…”
The Blessed Virgin Mary: «Praised be Jesus Christ.
My dear children, I love you; I come to you through the Father’s immense mercy.
Children, I come to ask you for prayer—prayer for My beloved Church. Pray, children, that the true Magisterium of the faith may not be lost; pray for the Vicar of Christ on earth.
My children, pray—pray for this world that is falling ever more into ruin, growing ever farther from God, and becoming ever more self-centered.
Children, pray; stand firm in the faith. The evil one prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.
Pray, My children; strengthen your faith through the Holy Sacraments.
My dearly beloved children, be ready for battle; hold the weapon of the Holy Rosary tightly in your hands. Pray, children, and teach others to pray; I am with you always; I take you by the hand and lead you to My beloved Jesus.
Children, when you are tired, weary, and oppressed, do not despair; turn your gaze to My beloved Jesus on the Cross—He is there for you; He died on the cross for each one of you, and He awaits you with open arms.
In your greatest moments of pain and despair, it is I, My children, who take you in My arms and lead you to God.
My children, I love you, and I continue to ask you for prayer: pray for My beloved Church; pray for My chosen children (the priests)—they are the ones most tempted by evil; pray for them, accompany them with your daily prayers, and offer small acts of devotion and sacrifices to the Lord on their behalf, for their sanctification, so that every priest may come to resemble the heart of My beloved Jesus more and more.
My dearly beloved children, pray and teach others to pray; pray for vocations and pray for the seminarians.
Now I give you My Holy Blessing».
§2
2. The hour of trial is near
Angela: “This afternoon the Virgin Mary appeared dressed entirely in white; even the mantle that enveloped her was white. Her arms were outstretched in a gesture of welcome. In her right hand […] she held a long rosary, white as light, that reached almost down to her feet, and in her left hand she clutched a scroll shaped like parchment. Her feet were bare and rested upon the world. The face of the Virgin Mary was sad…”
The Blessed Virgin Mary: “Praised be Jesus Christ.
My most beloved children, I beg you, be living flames and disciples of love.
Children, today as well, I invite you to pray for the conversion of all humanity and for peace in the world, which is now more than ever under threat.
Pray fervently for the Holy Church—not only for the universal Church, but also for your local Church, which is in such great need of your prayers.
Pray for the Vicar of Christ, for the bishops, and for all My beloved children, the priests—especially for those whose weaknesses wound My Motherly Heart.
Children, these are hard and difficult times, and I come to you to give you peace. Humanity thirsts for justice, but, in seeking the false beauties of the world, it is drifting farther and farther away from God’s grace.
I am your Mother, and I want to help you, through My Motherly presence, to carry the cross of these times. Do not be afraid. I come to you as the Mother of Mercy.
Children, My Son has sent Me among you to help you and to prepare you for the great spiritual battle.
Children, put Jesus first in your lives. Love Him, adore Him in the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar, and never grow weary of knocking at the door of His merciful Heart.
Return to God; He is your Father and will not fail to forgive you. There is no sin that God cannot forgive, if there is sincere repentance from the heart.
Children, today too I invite you to prayer—but to prayer that comes from the heart and not just from the lips. Entrust yourselves to Me with complete surrender and let Me guide you.
Beloved children, the hour of trial is near, but do not be afraid; do not lose hope, and do not be discouraged by difficulties. Continue to persevere in prayer.
Please, listen to Me! … Pray, my children, pray for all those who have not yet come to know the immeasurable love of the Father.
Pray, pray, pray. In the Name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen».

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).

"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)"

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"
