God the Father of All Mankind
‘In honour of God the Father of All Mankind we hold a special celebration on the first Saturday in August each year. There is Mass at 9am followed by prayers and consecration to the Father.
I make you a promise which will have an eternal effect. It is this: call me by the name of Father, with confidence and love, and you will receive everything from this Father, with love and mercy.
‘Know that I wish to be known, loved and, above all, honoured. May everyone recognise my infinite goodness towards all men, and especially towards sinners, the sick, the dying, and all those who suffer.
‘This is the real purpose of my coming:
‘I am coming to banish the excessive fear that my creatures have of me, and to show them that my joy lies in being known and loved by my children, that is, by all mankind, present and future.
‘I am coming to bring hope to men and nations. How many have long since lost it! This hope will make them live in peace and security, working for their salvation.
‘I am coming to make myself known just as I am, so that men’s trust may increase together with their love for me, their Father. I have but one concern: to watch over all men and love them as my children.
‘The painter delights in contemplating the picture he has painted. In the same way it is my pleasure and delight to come among men, the masterpiece of my creation!
‘Time presses. I wish men to know as soon as possible that I love them and that I feel the greatest happiness in being with them and talking with them, like a father with his children.’
