This is a very good spiritual book. I recommend "To the Priests Our Lady's Beloved Sons" to all Catholics, especially those who have turned lukewarm in their faith.
Spiritual locutions from Fr. Stephano Gobbi from the Blesses Mother. This book contains the 3rd mystery of Fatima. I don't think more need be said, but it is a very thoughtful and useful book for meditative reading. I'll try to add what highlights the word limit will permit.
The-Blue-Book, Fr. Gobbi
At the present time the Pope suffers from the betrayal and the desertion of many: even some of his closest collaborators often disobey him and thwart him. Many Priests whom he loves so much oppose him; many of my sons, victims of Satan, deride and condemn him. How many, who even call themselves Christians and Catholics, daily criticise, oppose and judge him. Truly for my Church this is the hour of the power of darkness.
My beloved sons, what joy and what comfort you give to my Mother's Heart! You are at last answering with your generous yes to what I asked at Fatima for the salvation of the world.
The time has come when some of my Priest-sons are preparing to openly oppose my Son, myself, the Pope and the Church. I will then be no longer able to recognise them as my children; I myself will come down from Heaven to place myself at the head of the cohort of my beloved sons, and I will crush their plots.
Marxist atheism will contaminate everything; like a poisonous fog it will penetrate everywhere and will bring many of my children to death of faith. It will subvert the truth contained in the Gospel. It will deny the divinity of my Son and the divine origin of the Church. Above all, it will threaten its hierarchical structure and attempt to break down the Rock upon which the edifice of the Church is built.

Until I am acknowledged there where the Most Holy Trinity has willed me to be, I will not be able to exercise my power fully, in the maternal work of co-redemption and of the universal mediation of graces.
Jesus is the only Redeemer because He alone is the mediator between God and men. He has however willed to take into partnership in his redemptive work all those who have been redeemed by Him, so that the merciful work of his love may shine forth in a greater and more wonderful way.
Even in those countries of the most ancient christian tradition, the great crime of killing children stiII in their mother's womb has gone so far as to be legitimised. This crime cries for vengeance in the sight of God.
My Immaculate Heart is the golden doorway through which this divine Spirit passes to reach you. And so I invite you to repeat often: 'Come, Holy Spirit, come by means of the powerful intercession of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, your well-beloved Spouse.'"
He will open the doors of hearts and illuminate all consciences. Every person will see themself in the burning fire of divine Truth.
Those children of mine who, often unknowingly, allow themselves to be carried along by this wave of error and of evil are victims of the great apostasy. Many bishops, priests, religious and faithful are victims of the great apostasy.
The heart of the Pope is bleeding today because of one Bishop of the holy Church of God who, through an arbitrary episcopal ordination carried out against his will, is opening up a painful schism in the Catholic Church. But this is only the beginning. In fact many bishops are, as of the present time, no longer united with the Pope and are moving along a road which is opposed to that which he is pointing out. This is a greater and more dangerous deviation, even if it is not yet visible, and one which gives pain to my motherly Heart and causes it to bleed and, as it were, causes my Pope to fall under the weight of a cross which is too heavy.
He has made you slaves of pleasure and of impurity, to replace the true God with new idols, followed and adored today by many: sex, amusement, money, comfort. Thus sin has stretched out its tenebrous veil of coldness and of death over the world.
You are an important part of my plan as mediatrix and co-redemptrix. My Son Jesus wanted me beneath the Cross, to associate my immaculate suffering with all his divine suffering. He wanted to unite my human suffering to his and He associated me intimately in the mystery of his redemption. Thus He called me to be a true co-redemptrix. The fruit of my co-redemption is my spiritual motherhood. Beneath the Cross, through the will of my Son Jesus, in the cradle of a very great suffering, I became your Mother, Mother of all the redeemed
The Holy Mass is the daily sacrifice, the pure oblation which is offered to the Lord everywhere, from the rising of the sun to its going down. The sacrifice of the Mass renews that which was accomplished by Jesus on Calvary. By accepting the protestant doctrine, people will hold that the Mass is not a sacrifice but only a sacred meal, that is to say, a remembrance of that which Jesus did at his last supper. And thus, the celebration of Holy Mass will be suppressed. In this abolition of the daily sacrifice consists the horrible sacrilege accomplished by the Antichrist, which will last about three and a half years, namely, one thousand two hundred and ninety days.
The first sign is the spread of errors, which lead to the loss of faith and to apostasy.
The second sign is the outbreak of wars and fratricidal struggles, which lead to the prevalence of violence and hatred and a general slackening off of charity, while natural catastrophes, such as epidemics, famines, floods and earthquakes, become more and more frequent.
The third sign is the bloody persecution of those who remain faithful to Jesus and to his Gospel and who stand fast in the true faith.
The fourth sign is the horrible sacrilege, perpetrated by him who sets himself against Christ, that is, the Antichrist. He will enter into the holy temple of God and will sit on his throne, and have himself adored as God.
The fifth sign consists in extraordinary phenomena, which occur in the skies.
The forces of Masonry have entered into the Church, in a subtle and hidden way, and have set up their stronghold in the very place where the Vicar of my Son Jesus lives and works. Note: 1993 May
As the image of little Juan Diego, to whom I appeared, is imprinted in my eyes, so also are you imprinted in the eyes and the heart of your heavenly Mother. Note: Tilma 1994
You have seen, my little son, with what enthusiasm I am loved, besought and glorified by all these Mexican children of mine. For this reason, my great victory against all the masonic and satanic forces will begin from here, for the greatest triumph of my Son Jesus. I confirm to you that, by the great Jubilee of the year two thousand, there will take place the triumph of my Immaculate Heart, of which I foretold you at Fatima, and this will come to pass with the return of Jesus
My secret concerns the Church. In the Church, the great apostasy, which will spread throughout the whole world, will be brought to its completion; the schism will take place through a general alienation from the Gospel and from the true faith. There will enter into the Church the man of iniquity, who opposes himself to Christ, and who will bring into her interior the abomination of desolation, thus bringing to fulfillment the horrible sacrilege, of which the prophet Daniel has spoken. (Mt 24,15)
My secret concerns humanity. Humanity will reach the summit of corruption and impiety, of rebellion against God and of open opposition to his law of love. It will know the hour of
its greatest chastisement, which has already been foretold to you by the prophet Zechariah. (Zec 13,7-9) Then this place will appear to all as a bright sign of MY motherly presence, in the supreme hour of your great tribulation. From here my light will spread to every part of the world and from this fount will gush the water of Divine Mercy, which will descend to irrigate the barrenness of a world, now reduced to an immense desert. And in this, my extraordinary work of love and of salvation, there will appear to all the triumph of the Immaculate Heart of her who is invoked as Mother of Mercy."
During the three hours of excruciating agony, I remain beneath the Cross with John and the holy women, and together we are bathed in his precious Blood.
Love demands communion; love leads to unity. Jesus brings about a very profound unity with you, even to the point of be coming flesh of your flesh and blood of your very own blood. As Jesus is in the Father and the Father is in Him, so too, by means of the Eucharistic Communion, you are in Him and He is in you.
Beloved sons, look today, with confidence and sure hope, at your heavenly Mother assumed into the glory of paradise, with body and soul. All the cohorts of the heavenly spirits prostrate themselves in profound veneration before their Queen, as I am raised to the highest part of heaven and am placed at the right hand of my Son Jesus. And all Paradise, with sweetest harmonies of lights and songs, which no one here below on earth could possibly hear, exalts me and proclaims: Resplendent, 0 Lord, is the Queen at your right hand. Note: Psalm 44/45
November 21, 1997 Feast of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary
This century of yours, which is about to end, has been placed under the sign of a strong power conceded to my Adversary. Thus, humanity has been led astray by the error of theoretical and practical atheism; in the place of God, idols have been built which everyone adores: pleasure, money, amusement, power, pride and impurity.
Therefore, on this night, there come to an end the public messages which I have been giving you for twenty-five years; now you must meditate on them, live them and put them into practice. Then the words which I have caused to come down from my Immaculate Heart, as drops of heavenly dew upon the desert of your life, so threatened by snares, will produce fruits of grace and holiness. Note: 1997 dec31st
This will be for her the second Pentecost. For this reason, I invite you to repeat often in the cenacles, the prayer that I have asked of you: 'Come, Holy Spirit, come by means of the powerful intercession of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, your wellbeloved Spouse.'
This book is almost three thousand pages. You have only highlights which I have been able to fit and briefly look over. It is a perfect book for meditative practice and I'm glad to have read it.

WE USE IT EVERY WEEK FOR A CENACLE MEETING OF ABOUT 10 PEOPLE. IT IS INDISPENSABLE TO US AS AFTER READING A SELECTED PASSAGE, WE SHARE OUR REFLECTIONS. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT TO ANY GROUP WHO ARE STARTING A CENACLE GROUP. THE MESSAGES ARE VERY TOUCHING AND WE LEARN MORE OF OUR BLESSED MOTHER.
