Did Maria Divine Mercy's Followers Really Pray For Pope's Death?

'They hated me without reason. (John 15: 25)

I watched all of the events in the Vatican leading up to the conclave and election of Pope Francis. I was so happy and thrilled at the election of our new Pope. I felt so part of the whole event, even adopting a cardinal to pray for. THEN came the calumnies, detractions and false prophecies of MDM. I felt so much sorrow, and then anger, that our Holy Father was the recipient of so many evil attacks (...)

That was a comment recently left on our Facebook page, and it probably sums up what many of us felt seeing posts of MDM followers about our Pope. 

MDM has ridiculously led her followers to believe Pope Francis is the false prophet mentioned in the Book of Revelation who will abolish the Eucharist and ultimately bring down the destruction of the Church.  

Once you believe Pope Francis is  the False Prophet it is not hard to find the evidence to condemn him. After all, there was once a Man without sin who didn't do anything wrong – on the contrary, all that he did was good. His name was Jesus, and he was found guilty too, even though the evidence against him was false or conflicting. He just needed to be found guilty.

But would God really ask us to spy on someone and to look for evidence to condemn a person? Isn't that what Satan does? 

Satan the Accuser

Jesus is described in the Bible as our advocate: 

"Little children, the purpose of this letter is to keep you clear of sin. Meanwhile, if any of us does fall into sin, we have an advocate to plead our cause before the Father in the Just One, Jesus Christ". (1 John 2: 1). 

He is the one who intercedes for us:

"Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died--more than that, who was raised to life--is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us (Rom 8: 34).

He is the one pleading our cause before our Heavenly Father. He does not condemn us or accuse us. It is Satan who does exactly that - the word devil comes from Greek where diabolos means a slanderer or accuser, and it corresponds to the Hebrew name Satan which signifies an adversary, or an accuser. 

The accuser of our brethren is overthrown. Day and night he stood accusing them in God’s presence; but because of the Lamb’s blood and because of the truth to which they bore witness, they triumphed over him, holding their lives cheap till death overtook them.  (Revelations 12: 10-11)

This is the nature of Satan. To slander and accuse the children of God before our Heavenly Father. 

Those who slander, condemn and accuse Pope Francis - whose job are you really doing? Just a few comments left on Jesus to Mankind Facebook page just right after the conclave (original spelling) and the election of Pope Francis:

(...) we might need to pray, as Our Lady asked, for Francis I because even though he is the 'best man' for the job of dividing or 'near' destroying the Church (otherwise satan wouldn't have chose him for his dirty work) 

This so called Pope Francis has been displaying too many acts of humility that is no longer normal, he wants everyone to be convinced that he is humble.. You know what, a true humble people would not show off..

Pope Francis, if we will see the initials on the other way around it is FP (Francis Pope) meaning, False Prophet. 

And as for Pope Francis, he is not a pope nor do I accept him taking the name of our St Francis, so I will from now on simply call him Frank.

(...)  this pope is an anti pope an imposter who will causes schisms in the catholic Church desecrate the Holy Eucharist and undermine Sacraments Marriage ,Baptism, Confession the signs of this will soon appear then the people who viciously attacked Maria will hang their heads in shame. (A few months later I still do not see that one coming)

But the most disturbing of all was a 'prayer request' on Jesus to Mankind page:

"Dear Lord, thank you for protecting us and for exposing anti-Pope Francis for who he really is: an emissary from Hell. Keep us safe from him, make his days few and his life short, for the sake of Thine elect. Amen."  

This comment has been mentioned in Maria Divine Mercy, Schism! A Deception of Satan (see the comments) and Catholic evangelist Eddie Russell FMI mentioned reporting it to the admins of the JTM page. But a month later, the comment was still there. 

The same admins who will ban detractors and remove their posts when only they sense some 'trouble' were not bothered with people who prayed for the Pope's death. That tells a lot about the organisation behind MDM and MDM herself, who by the way, it turns out is on Facebook as well. 

That same 'Jesus' seems to be very upset those who 'hate' his prophets: 

"When you Find Hatred of any Kind in your heart, especially towards My Holy Messengers, Know that Satan has Tempted you to Sin (MDM message April 11th, 2012) .

Though implication is somewhat clear that it is MDM who is the recipient of that hate. Yet this 'Jesus' seems to be totally oblivious, if not somewhat satisfied, with all the hatred towards the Pontiff! 

Jesus does not change

Jesus does not change. He is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow(Hebrews 13: 8). There is no hatred in Jesus. He called his traitor 'friend' when Judas was about to betray him, and definitely never tried to turn the other disciples against him, though he knew fairly well what Judas was about to do:  

Going at once to Jesus, Judas said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” and kissed him. Jesus replied, “Do what you came for, friend.” (Mt 26 49-50). 

And when he was being crucified, in the midst of an unimaginable suffering, he still continued to pray for his tormentors, 

 'Father, forgive them for they don't know what they do.' (Luke 23: 34).

And now Jesus is suddenly so different? Could these foul words have ever come out of His Mouth?

"This wicked gesture, during Holy Week, will be seen by those who keep their eyes open and this will be one of the signs by which you will know that the imposter, who sits on the throne in My Church on earth, does not come from Me." (Message March 14, 2013)

The cunning imposter, who has lain in waiting in the wings, patiently, will soon declare his reign over My poor unsuspecting sacred servants. The pain he will inflict is too hard for Me to bear, and yet, his reign will culminate in the final purging of evil from within the core of My Church. 

His loyalty is to the beast and how he will laugh and sneer at My sacred servants who will support him. (March 8th, 2013) 

He who dares to sit in My Temple, and who has been sent by the evil one, cannot speak the truth, for he does not come from Me. He has been sent to dismantle My Church and tear it up into little pieces before he will spit it out from his vile mouth. (March 8th, 2013)

You shall know them by their fruits 

Here it is 'Jesus' who accuses and condemns; his followers just follow the suit. And if this 'Jesus' seems to hate our Pontiff so much, is it

any wonder his followers do the same? 

And since it is by fruits that we shall know them (Mt 7: 16), can  the fruit of the Holy Spirit be hatred, character assassination, slander, disobedience to the authority? And you, MDM follower, aren't you behaving like the Pharisees and teachers of the law 'who were looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, so they watched him closely (Luke 6: 7)?

Jesus is the same as he was yesterday. He would never condemn anyone he has died for, and that includes Pope Francis. So dear MDM follower, if you still think this is really Jesus speaking through MDM messages, we ask you one thing. Reread the Gospels and think again. 

What Maria Divine Mercy Doesn't Want You To Know

Stigmatist and Catholic visionary
Marie Julie Jahenny

The stigmatist Marie Julie Jahenny alleged that Jesus told her in 1882:“During the time of approach of the punishments announced at La Salette, an unlimited number of FALSE REVELATIONS will arise from hell like a swarm of flies; a last attempt of Satan to choke and destroy the belief in TRUE REVELATIONS by false ones.”

And indeed, in the last few decades we have had an unlimited number of false prophets with 'divine messages' for the world. Maria Divine Mercy is just one of many. Her followers like to quote MDM that:

31st Aug 2012: “No man has the ability to write messages such as these.” 

Do not judge (Maria Divine Mercy)!

Followers of Maria Divine Mercy like to remind us what the Bible teaches about passing judgement: "Stop judging, that you may not be judged." (Mt 7: 1). They wrongly assume that all of us are to accept blindly her teaching for she allegedly is the chosen Prophet of the End Times. 

Indeed the Bible teaches us that we should not pass judgement on other people. We do not have insight into another person's heart and we do not know what motives lie beneath their actions. However, God wants us to judge between truth and error and  between good and evil. According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, we also have responsibility for the sins committed by others when we cooperate in them by not disclosing or not hindering them when we have an obligation to do so or by protecting evil-doers. (CCC 1868)

Let us examine what Sacred Scriptures really say about judging the teaching of others like that of Maria Divine Mercy 

1) Jesus rebuked those who follow false prophets: (Rev. 2: 20-23):    

To the Church of Thyatira: "Yet I hold this against you, that you tolerate the woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, who teaches and misleads my servants to play the harlot and to eat food sacrificed to idols. I have given her time to repent but she refuses to repent of her harlotry. So I will cast her on a sickbed and plunge those who commit adultery with her into intense suffering unless they repent of her works. I will also put her children to death. Thus shall all the churches come to know that I am the searcher of hearts and minds and that I will give each of you what your works deserve.
 

2) We are told to rebuke and correct: (2 Timothy 3:16-17; 4:2-4)

Paul wrote that all Scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, for refutation, for correction and for training in righteousness, so that you who belong to God may be competent, equipped for every good work. Proclaim the word: be persistent whether it is convenient; convince, reprimand, encourage through all patience and teaching. For the time will come when people will not tolerate sound doctrine but, following their own desires and insatiable curiosity, will accumulate teachers and will stop listening to the truth and will be diverted to myths.

3) We are to keep away from people who are teaching false doctrine:

   (2Thess: 3:6)  "We instruct you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to shun any brother who conducts himself in a disorderly way and not according to the tradition they received from us".

   (Titus 3:10-11)  "After a first and second warning, break off contact with heretic, realizing that such a person is perverted and sinful and stands self-condemned."

   (Roman 16:17)  "I urge you, brothers, to watch out for those who create dissensions and obstacles, in opposition to the teaching that you learned; avoid them".

   (Matthew 16; 6,12) 'Jesus said to them, 'Look out, and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees'. then they understood that he was not telling them to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

4) God expect us to judge.

Paul said in 1 Corinthians 2:15 "The spiritual person, however, can judge everything but is not subject to judgment by anyone". Judging is not a sin: judging is a characteristic of being a spiritual person. Satan has been lying to us, hoping that we will not judge, because he knows that the right kind of judgment pleases God, and makes our lives and Christian service better.

5) There is a righteous kind of judgment we are supposed to exercise  with careful discernment (John 7:24) "Stop judging by appearance, but judge justly". When Jesus told us not to judge (Matthew 7:1), He was telling us not to judge hypocritically (Matthew 7:2-5).

6) Those who teach a false doctrine are already condemned.

 Galatians 1:8 "But even if we or angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let that one be accursed!

Matthew chapter 7 -  the same chapter that teaches us not to judge other people also warns us against false prophets. 

"Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but underneath are ravenous wolves. By their fruits you will know them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? Just so, every good tree bears good fruit, and a rotten tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a rotten tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire. So by their fruits you will know them. (Mt 7: 15-20)

Jesus expects us to exercise judgment here, because He knows there will be false prophets and teachers who will come in His name, who will appear to be good and innocent on the outside, but who will eventually lead the faithful astray and exploit them. But Jesus does not leave us defenseless. He warns us against false prophets and tells us how we can know them - and we shall know them by their fruits - telling whether the fruits are good or bad will necessarily involve exercising judgement. 

Larry's Testimony

I myself was a follower of Maria Divine Mercy messages. Yes, the prayers look nice but its purpose is to deceive us so that MDM will have all the right to spread heresies and attack the Head of the Catholic Church, who is Pope Francis. May we open your eyes to the Truth that we are called to pay obedience and allegiance to the Authority of the Catholic Church and all private revelations must first be evaluated and scrutinized by its authority before we should receive it. Remember that our Catholic Faith is not grounded on private revelations. 

Because of MDM messages, I was very observant about the new pope's election to know if there would be some irregularities during the conclave that would prove the accusations that he is the False Prophet, but what we all witness is a very solemn election that would prove the leading of the Holy Spirit. And to add to it, personally, the Pope's election had coincidences in my life to prove more that he is the real one and remove my doubts

MDM is pro-Catholic practices and devotions, that makes it so dangerous. As a Catholic, we will not doubt  her at first. But when her messages started to attack the new elected pope as the False Prophet, and campaign not to pay allegiance to the Pope and that everything that he is showing to us is fake, I saw in her messages a devil who is so jealous of the love and compassion that the new Pope is showing to the world. 

I believe God allowed that some information regarding the future would be revealed to MDM, like the coincidence of the resignation of the Pope and that Pope Francis is a compassionate Pope as her previous message a year ago said, but its very purpose I believe is to test the faith of the believers to the Catholic Church. But thanks to MDM, it became one of my greatest lessons in Faith after following her message for more than a year, and it renewed my faith and my trust in the ONLY Authority that Jesus Christ Himself has entrusted His Church: The One, Holy, Apostolic and Catholic Church. 

In the days to come, MDM is envisioning a Remnant Church with all Catholic devotions and

practices, with priests to celebrate the mass, but not in communion with the Pope in Rome that she hates so much. Only Satan hates much the successor of the Seat of Peter and doesn't like the style of Pope Francis because he will be close to the people and the people will love him so much as their new Pope. We need to go to the basics and read the CCC.

For a while, I've been hooked on MDM message because I also experienced in 2011 something that I believe a personal private revelation  as a Charismatic Renewal member.

The Dilemma of False Prophets

By Fr. Martin Cross What if God has being speaking to the host of self acclaimed visionaries and seers of our time, like MDM, Holy Love etc, and we are not listening but rather, fighting against the Author of life and the Creator of the Universe? That would be terrible mistake on our side as the Church. But what if God is not the giver of the massages and the visions imposed on us, and we are gullibly silent to the fault for fear of offending God? Then we are finished, having being slothful to heed the warnings of the Lord Christ himself!. Blessed be God our Father, who gave us Christ the Saviour, and blessed be Christ our Lord who established his Church on earth, and blessed be the Holy Mother Church entrusted with the custodianship of the deposit of faith. For whatever she considers true on Earth is true in Heaven, and whatever she considers false on Earth is false in Heaven (Mt 18:18). I do not know of any revocation of this Divine Petrine-ecclesiastical-Power from on high, and the exercise of it resides on St. Peter, the Pope, and by extension the Bishops. Wherefore, all truths of faith and religion is by the will of God and Christ his Son our Lord and Saviour, subject to the approval of the Church, for he is with the Church as her head, so the Church will always reach the truth and surety of all things. Is it proper to look into private revelations, talk about them or even try stopping such massages? Yes because Christ the Lord warns us: Matthew 7:15-20 "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves".  Jesus calls us as a Church to the mission of making Disciples of all the nations, aware that many will arise in his name (Mt 7:22) possessed by the Devil to deceive many innocent souls. They are ravens ready to destroy, cause confusions and make satanic authoritative utterances and perjury, causing fear, dishonour of God and his Church. The call to "Awareness" is the challenge to be vigilant against the subtlety of Lucifer, the fallen angel of light, still deceptively parading the light, with the great company of his fallen angels. They come as light, possessing insights into the mysteries of life, they work wonders, condemn evil, casting out demons, making prophecies and calling upon the name of Jesus (M7:22). Nevertheless, our Lord noted that they are false and do not belong to him, and for this reason will say unto them,  "I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity" Mt 7:23. As regarding the criteria to knowing a false prophet, Jesus noted that we should watch out for their fruits. Their massages though, will include miracles, and prophecies, utterances of great insights, wonders and signs, and the usage of the Holy Name of Jesus and of His Most Blessed Mother, yet their massage is evil, because it does not come from God. You may ask, 'but how do we know'? Jesus readily answers,  "By their fruits" to know this, you have to look with the inner mind, for it is not against flesh and blood that we fight but against the principalities and powers (...Eph 6:10...).  Secondly, we follow the laid down rubrics of discernment by Holy Mother Church. The fruits visibly manifested by false prophets includes:  The nature of the massage. Does it agree with laid down truth of the sacred Scripture? Does it contain doctrinal errors, and teaches false assumptions.  The content of the massage of miracle; Does the miracle, the prophecies, the signs etc contain malicious attacks on the one custodian of Truth, the Church and the Vicar of Christ, Peter, and the Popes, and by extension, the Bishops, the Priests, who are the accredited leaders of the Church.  The life of the individual persons, is the seer humble, and obedient? Does the seer submit to the visible head of Christ on  earth, to whom Christ in Peter said," whatever you bound on earth is bound in heaven, and whatever you consider loose in heaven is considered loose in heaven" Mt 18:18. Surprising too, Christ noted that these individual false prophets seems to be ignorant of their pitiably state, or unaware that they were under strong possession of the devil. or rather thinks proudly that the end justifies the means.  "Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? (Mt 7:23). Here the false prophets made a case for themselves in Christ's presence invoking the eternal merits of their works as a claim to kingdom. Jesus said what seems like "You have no reward, and you can find none here, It doesn't matter, if the predictions and prophesies you made come true, or that you worked wonders, or prophesied in my name. The bottom line is that, it was not from God my Father and not from me and therefore unprofitable for the eternal salvation of souls, you will be punished having misled many, claiming to speak for God". (Mt 24:4) Finally hear this, No one is a judge in his or her own case, if you have nothing to hide, submit to the Church what you are doing in the name of God and of the Church. Save yourself from becoming unknowingly a disciple of the Devil, and his principalities and powers by means of following these massages. Look to the Church and be radiant. The ministry of the Word of God and the Sacraments are the means and the only sure means of eternal salvation, embrace it and prepare your soul for the last day, for no one knows the time Mt 24: 42-44. 24:1-26.

Daniela's Testimony

An important note about the crusade prayers based on personal experience from all my family members: 

When the first crusade prayer came out in November 2011, my family and l started to pray it every evening after our daily Rosary. 

As time went by, more and more prayers came. I remember how impressed we were by many of the prayers. To give an example, where 

l live, explicit sex education is becoming obligatory by law from the age of 4 and up. One can imagine how appalled we were as parents of 2 small children, also my parents, their grandparents. 

One of the prayers was especially dear to us in this regard: we prayed with the words of the crusade prayer to 'cover our children with the precious blood of Jesus, to protect them from the lies of Satan.' l can give many more examples of how these prayers seemed to offer protection against the awful moral degeneration in our world today.

Even when the so called prophetic messages at times seemed outrageous, when we prayed our crusade prayers each evening, they continually convinced us over and over again that these prayers were a custom made gift from heaven for our world falling into total chaos. We were promoting the prayers everywhere as we were, in hindsight rather embarrassed by the messages. 

The prayers on the other hand managed to convince others. We passed them on to 3 priests and they too were rather impressed at the start... Prayers that promised to ward off nuclear war, mitigate chastisements in the form of natural disasters, prevent liberal abortion laws from being passed, special prayers for the salvation of souls: we truly believed that next to the chaplet of Divine Mercy and the Most Holy Rosary, Heaven was blessing us with special graces through these prayers. 

So we ended up spending more and more hours in prayer, less time critically discerning the messages until prayer 100 was issued: one family member refused to pray this rather strange prayer stating that Pope Benedict was the last true pope. In the following days, an enormous argument broke out, causing division in our family prayer group. 

By the grace of God we sought spiritual direction, at the same time pledging our obedience to our new Pope. Our spiritual director put our hearts at ease when he told us that the many hours spent praying these prayers were not in vain as we prayed them sincerely, with purity of intention. 

Here comes the amazing conclusion: whatever we had prayed for, if it was in line with the will of God, those prayers were answered in Heaven, EVEN if the author - and this is the hard part to understand- is not from Heaven!!! 

All l would like to underline here is that the prayers are the real trap for most of the followers because of the many special graces and favours they promise to bestow. When we realized Pope Francis was a blessing from Heaven and therefore the messages false, we immediately stopped praying these prayers but continued with our daily Chaplet and Rosary. 

Guess what? 

Peace returned to our family, and our prayer time once again turned into real quiet time with the Lord instead of a vocal marathon, impossible to keep up with!

Testimony and Warning Against Totus Tuus, Maria

We have received this message recently:

I was once fascinated with MDM's alleged messages. I kept reading new updates and messages on her website, and I even became a member of their internet prayer group, downloaded the prayer crusades and contacted some of the members, but even then I was hesitant to be completely devoted to the group.

So I prayed for God's guidance because despite being a member I was not fully convinced of her authenticity especially that some of her predictions didn't take place, so I was just watchful and never actually joined the prayer group in their weekly prayer schedules.I quit my membership from Facebook and had my name and email erased from their member's list after confessing and asking my priest friend to enlighten me about MDM.

What bothers me most is the Totus Maria page. It's a Facebook account devoted to the Blessed Virgin. It's Catholic and I was shocked to see MDM's 'Book of Truth' being promoted on their page as well as the alleged messages and prayers supposedly given by Jesus. A lot of people are being deceived.

I emailed them asking them to stop promoting MDM and told them that if they are true Catholic they should not oppose Pope Francis and the Catechism of the Catholic Church, but until now I haven't received any word from them and they keep defending MDM.

I just I need more help to convince them to stop spreading word about MDM because the people who do not know the true agenda of MDM accept what Totus Maria is posting on their page.

Thanks and more power!

Name withheld at request, the Philippines 

This is the description of Totus Tuus, Maria Facebook page:

Totus Tuus, Maria is a community of Catholics who live by the motto of the late Pope John Paul II: Totus Tuus, Maria, or "Totally Yours, Mary.

But that is not what this page is really about.

The page heavily promotes Maria Divine Mercy's Crusade prayers. Among beautiful Christian pictures and quotes from the Saints, most of the posts consist of Crusade Prayers with the shortened url to 'WarningSecondComing' organisation. 

The Facebook page is linked to a website, which appears in Google search as a paid advertisement and which gives a 'critical' review of 'The Book of Truth' (we see nothing critical about it), with the link where you can buy it. It also asks for donations. 

Looks like poison in a cup of pleasant brewed coffee to us.

Catholics, beware! 

Could he be the False Prophet? Testimonies

The following are the testimonies of people who had followed Maria Divine Mercy until the election Pope Francis, when their eyes were opened to the MDM deception.
MDM had been preparing her followers for the new impostor pope ,who would be a false prophet mentioned in the Book of the Revelation. In the messages dated March 13 (which is the date of Pope Francis election), MDM message said, 'My beloved Pope Benedict XVI was persecuted and fled, as foretold. I have not appointed this person, who claims to come in My Name. (...) His throne (Pope Benedict XVI's)  has been stolen. His power has not."

Well, these people have not been taken in.

Testimony from a former Crusade Prayer Coordinator 

 

That day, March 13, I had a Crusade Prayer Group at home, and we were praying MDM prayers. I had in the next room the TV on, just in case. TV almost silent, when shouts started to came out... 'White smoke!!!' We waited in excitement, thinking the False Prophet would appear now... WHEN, my saint and beloved Cardinal appeared on the balcony... I did not doubt a second.. We were six women praying. Two of them still follow MDM but are not convinced. The other four meet here in my apartment praying every Wednesday - but for Francis, the Church, etc. 

The following day, March 14 I resigned as coordinator of my whole country, Argentina. I had to face plenty of criticism on the part of people from Argentina that were indignant...and still are. I am absolute confident about Pope Francis. His informality, humility and whatever you see in his gestures, attitudes are HIM as always has been. But, he takes due time to take important decisions as you may see that the eight Cardinals are studying all that happens about the Curia, and only October 3 they will have an official meeting but I am sure Francis will stand firm on these issues. I knew of MDM messages, when she began, through Joyce Lang list. And yesterday we knew that that list was not discerned properly!

"I knew he was a good man" 

I started reading the messages about a year and a half ago. They got my attention because they were coming quite frequently. I liked the idea that Jesus was talking to us and guiding us through these times. There were a few things that bothered me in the messages at first, but I dismissed them because I really wanted to believe in them. I did, thank goodness, constantly ask God to not let me be deceived because ten years ago I followed some seers whose writings were very similar to MDM's and they turned out to be false. They warned that the Pope after John Paul II would be a false Pope, a False Prophet. Of course we know that Pope Benedict was not a False Prophet.

So here I was again being told that the next Pope after Pope Benedict would be a

False Prophet! Now part of me still wanted to believe because I wanted what was being offered..Safety during the tribulations, healings, and a beautiful paradise waiting for us, the chosen ones. Yet still a part of me held back because I had been fooled once. Then out of the blue Pope Benedict resigned! At first I took this to be a sign, but try as I might I could not fit his resignation in with the prophecy that told us he would be "ousted"

Now it all rested on the new Pope. Of course we had been warned that he would appear to be meek and humble... a "wolf in sheep's clothing" so I knew I would have to really look beyond his 'show' of humility, because if he really was the "Beast" "Evil and "Cunning" as the messages had warned, then he could never have been able to disguise his real nature all of his life.

When I saw Pope Francis on that balcony I couldn't believe it. I didn't have to be told... I knew he was a good man, and had been all of his life, caring for the poor and the downtrodden. His whole life reflected Christ's! 

I went back into Facebook wondering how the others felt now that we had a Pope..and a good one at that. Surely they would be angry that we had all been deceived by yet another false prophet..but this wasn't the case. I watched as they desperately searched for anything that would make the Pope look bad! I stayed and tried to reason with a few of them. These were good people, but their NEED to believe the messages meant they had to dislike the Pope. His humility wasn't real, they told themselves. And so it went on...

This search for the slightest thing with which to blacken a good man's name...and It's still going on. I firmly believe that the messages are coming from Satan and that MDM is herself being deceived. It's heart breaking to see our brothers and sisters caught up in that cult.

An inutile Christ abandoning His Church

Mocking Church Indefectibility

15 March 2013:  (Mary talking) “He, my beloved Son, hangs His Head in agony as He watches the horror as His Church crumbles before Him.”

19 March 2013: (fake Christ talking) "Masonic sects infiltrate the Church in Rome. Make no mistake – there can only be one pope in one lifetime...soon, all will see the subtle acts and the sly gestures of those false impostors who preside over My Throne in Rome, for they amount to sacrilege.

Anyone who seriously considers these utterances as coming from the Second Person of the Holy Trinity can immediately see an inutile powerless Christ agonizing “in horror” as the Church He built under the auspices of the Holy Spirit and over which “the gates of hell will not

Éva's Testimony

I was a follower of Maria Divine Mercy messages for a month, almost up till Easter 2013.

The Holy Spirit showed me the truth on 3rd March 2013. It is the blackest period in my life and I'm not proud of it! But luckily the Lord has made me into a very strong soldier. There are attacks on me because I know about them a lot, about their feelings, thoughts, emotions.

How did I start reading MDM messages? At first I saw them on friend's Facebook page and started to read them. I was a believer so I started to read them at first only just because I was curious. I wasn't sure if they were true, so I read them cautiously. 

I showed those messages to my prayer group leaders and asked them to listen Jesus' words - in our village we have a fellowship, a prayer group where we read from the Bible and sing worship songs, listen to the Word of God and pray. They are my friends, and they prayed so that I would stop following those messages. 

My husband also prayed for me - he didn't know what to think about MDM, he listened to my opinion, and it made sense to him. However, he preferred to read the Bible while I was reading MDM messages and praying those "Crusade prayers". I was so upset that they didn't believe "Jesus" - I would almost scream, 'Hey, listen everybody, Jesus is here, he wants to talk to us, and we should listen to Him!' but I was the only one who believed those messages. 

We all knew the Holy Spirit, we knew how is it when the Holy Spirit is talking to you, and I knew it as well. And I don't know why I didn't realize that it was not Him. It was enough for me to read some of the messages and Satan started to work on me, I believed those messages though they didn't sound like Jesus.

After I started reading those messages I felt a bit disturbed, but I was praying a lot! Much more than before, so I thought I was changing for better. My faith seemed much stronger! 

But usually during everyday activities I kept thinking about our future, the future of my children. For example, I always sing under the shower - I sing Gospel songs but those days I wasn't singing... I was only thinking, 'how will it be?!' I lost my joy.

My friends realised that as well, but they also saw that I was afraid, they could see fear in me, and fear is not from Jesus. I was upset with them and insisted that it was not fear that I felt. I insisted it was absolutely normal to 'wait' for the 'Second Coming'. They tried to convince me that those messages are not from God, but I felt that they wanted to hurt me and they are silly! But one sentence from the Bible that they gave me really spoke to my heart: 

"For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and will deceive many" (Mt 24: 5).

It was that one week when the Holy Spirit started working in me - though I didn't stop reading those messages right away: I was only upset with others that they do not believe in Jesus. Still I was only thinking about that sentence from the Bible. During that week my friend, who also followed MDM messages, was very scared and couldn't sleep. Her little child always also kept having nightmares and she couldn't sleep either because of those messages and nightmares - so I sent her a very good prayer against Satan. My family was also affected, we all kept getting a cold, and my little baby (only 5- months-old) couldn't sleep and was very sick as well. So I started to pray that prayer against Satan too. After saying that prayer the baby could sleep a bit better and I wanted to sleep as well, but I couldn't because I was a bit upset by the messages. As I was looking for my prayer book in my drawer I found another book that I had got from my friend, and I felt sorry that I had kept it for a year in my drawer without having read it... so I started to read it! 

That book (written by a Hungarian priest) spoke about Satan as well! It was about spiritual warfare and it teaches about Satan - how to see demonic influences, and how to pray against Satan. As I read it, it felt as if Jesus was talking to me with those words. It was really an incredible, fantastic book! It also warned against false prophets (not about MDM specifically) and as I read about false prophets, I felt Jesus was next to me and telling me that MDM was false as well!

But I still was not ready to believe it. I kept thinking about that sentence from the Bible, I was curious what is in Matthew chapter 24.

So in the evening the next day, when I used to read MDM messages and prayers, that day I started with reading the Bible - Matthew 24. And it was amazing! I felt the Holy Spirit, it was fantastic! Though at the same time I felt myself so dirty... 

I was also very embarrassed. I didn't know how I would act, because I was very aggressive against everybody in my prayer group who didn't believe in MDM messages.

After this, everything got much nicer! Even the way the sun was shining, or how the trees were waving, ; the sky was bluer - and I felt a great relief! I told my husband that I was wrong - that MDM is not a true prophet, and I told my friends the same. I don't understand how this could happen to me, my faith was so strong, even my heart was healed by Jesus a year before, so I don't know why I fell for those messages! 

But Jesus healed my soul again, 

Jesus had pity on me and he bent down to me 

and rose me from the dirt...

I am so thankful to HIM!
