The Last Vision - June 13, 1929
Lucia
Speaks: Accompanying Commentary:
[Lucia speaks of the events that precede the vision. Then she relates what she saw]:
Suddenly the whole
chapel was illumined “As
forward we travel from light into Light.”
In the light of faith, i.e. the sight of understanding,
by a supernatural
Light, and above the altar we
can see the image of God in the Man, Jesus Christ. By pondering and understanding the
appeared a Cross of
Light, reaching to the great
depth of God’s love for us, as revealed in Jesus (and entering into it as a
partner with
ceiling. In a brighter light on the upper part Him),
He shows us the way to travel forward from the light of an internal hidden love
for God

be seen the Face of a expressed

divine and
Man and His Body as
far as the waist; upon brighter

A little below the
waist, I could see a Chalice The
Host and Chalice, with His drops of Blood, reveal the same Mystery: Jesus Christ’s

which drops of
Blood were falling from the Face stand. Here, in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, the
Sacramental species of bread and wine
of Jesus Crucified
and from the Wound in His are
changed into Christ’s living Body and Blood, in which He gives Himself up for
us under a

in order to communicate His love to us on an individual personal level.

Christ who lives in me.” How much more
can this be said of Mary, who never knew sin!
When
we see Mary, we see God’s love expressed in a female form. She is below the right
arm
of the cross (where His sheep are gathered--Matt. 25:32-33) because She is the
example
of
what we must do and become in order to participate in the self- same transformation.
Under the left arm

west. It will bring about the unity of
Christians and set precedence for the proclamation
of
the final Marian dogma. This will usher
in the Triumph of Mary’s Immaculate Heart and
the
promised era of peace.
REFLECTION & RESOLUTION:
Ponder
each of these mysteries in silent prayer and reflection. See how very personal God’s love is for
you. See
His pattern that He has set before you, for you to follow. There is no reason any longer to hold back in
fear. You need only to surrender
yourself like Mary and
say, “Yes” to God’s Will for you.
He is with you every step of the way.
Our Lady’s Immaculate Heart is your refuge and the way that will lead
you to God.
Do everything with Her, in Her, and for Her. You need only practice
self-denial through humility and obedience.
Everything else you will learn on the way.
