... HER FAITHFUL
COHORT
Her Invincible Army in the Decisive Struggle
Against Her Adversary A. She is the Leader of this Cohort:
"The secret scheme, which in a hidden way I have been preparing for some
time in order to realize my great plan, is now beginning to become visible:
The Movement of my Priests, my cohort ready for the decisive battle and
destined for victory."
(17 f, Sept. 23, 1973)
"I myself will be the Leader of this army. I am now forming it as my own in
silence and in hiddenness just as, for nine months, I formed Jesus in my
womb, and for many years in silence and hiddenness I brought Him up day by
day.
"I myself am now choosing the priests of the Movement and forming them
according to the plan of my Immaculate Heart. (…) They will make up the
cohort of 'my priests' which I myself will nourish and form, preparing them
for the approaching battles of the kingdom of God." (5 e,g - July 16, 1973)
B. And what does she say this cohort must do?
a) They must be ready . . .
− To obey my orders , because I will soon call them, and they must be ready
to respond, ready to be used by me for the ultimate defense of my Son, of me, of
the Gospel and of the Church.
They will be the salt in a world which is completely corrupt and a shining
light in the darkness which will have enveloped everything.
− To fight, because my Adversary will set loose his army upon them,
and he will pursue them with vehemence in a frightful battle. They will be
ridiculed, despised, persecuted, and some will even be killed.
But I will always be with them, and will protect and defend them, and will
console them, wiping away every tear as only a Mother knows how.
− To defend the Pope, who is already so very much alone in carrying the
cross of the Church; there will even be a time at which, like Jesus on the way
to Calvary, he will be as though abandoned by everyone.
Then these sons of mine
will be his comfort and his defense, and together with me they will be
victorious in the greatest battle of the Church.
For the present, my beloved
sons, pray, love one another, be as little children. Let yourselves be formed
and guided by me alone."
(17i-o, Sept. 23, 1973)
b) They must restore the sacred image of her
son Jesus in
the souls of all her children. "…the Movement of my priests…is desired by me to make reparation for the immense
harm caused in souls by atheism, to restore in so many desecrated hearts the
image of God, the merciful countenance of my Son Jesus.
My priests are my restorers; they will restore in so many souls the face of God,
and thus they will bring back many of my children from death to life. (...)
The priests of my Movement must
restore purity in souls and fight firmly against the Demon of Lust in all its
manifestations. They must combat styles
that are more and more indecent and provocative; they must combat the press that
publicizes evil and entertainment which ruins morals.
They must struggle against the prevalent mentality that legitimizes and
justifies everything, and against current morality that permits everything.
(...) I want it to be the Movement of my priests which will bring back the fragrance
of purity to the world: for it is only on the billow of this perfume that my Son
Jesus will once again become the King of hearts and of souls."
(21jkqru, Oct.
16, 1973)

... HER GIFT TO THE CHURCH
In her message to Fr. Gobbi on January 28, 1984,
she says: "A gift of my Immaculate Heart is this, my Movement. It is my work alone. For eleven years I have been diffusing it in every part of the world; I call my
sons, and they respond. For eleven years I have been achieving a masterpiece of
love and mercy for the triumph of my Immaculate Heart. Everything that I have
told you will be fulfilled to the letter. The Church will come to an ever
greater realization of how the Marian Movement of Priests is a gift of my
Immaculate Heart, because with it I wish to give the Church the certainty of my
perennial presence and my maternal protection."
