My dearest children, this is the first day of the year on which I invite you to pray more for the world. 
The most difficult, most painful moments are about to arrive for you. Great events will take place during this year. The world is on the brink of great danger. If you do not convert, I do not know what will become of you. The time for conversion is almost up. I come here to prepare you because I desire that all be saved. 
Children, keep truth and sincerity within yourselves. Do not lie here and there, always tell the truth, for lies do not belong to God but to satan. 
You must always set an example of dignity on all occasions so that all your brothers and sisters may follow your way of acting. Be sincere with your brothers and sisters. Always act as true Christians. Lies destroy you spiritually. You must be teachers of the truth. I ask you to pray much. Pray for those who do not pray, for those who do not know how to pray, and for those who do not want to pray. I need you very much, My children, for I suffer for those who turn away from God. Take part in My suffering as a Mother, carrying with Me the cross for the salvation of all. 
My children, let us ask the Divine Holy Spirit to give us wisdom to be purified and renewed. 
May your hearts be worthy of being the Tabernacle for Jesus to dwell in. May we live the grace of God with wisdom, with humility, with love. 
That is why we begin the year in spiritual battle, a great spiritual struggle. You, pilgrims, have such a special love for this place, chosen by God, by the Holy Trinity. You who today face so many difficulties in your families, in family life, you who have also encountered great spiritual trials, intense depressions, strong tribulations, the weight of the Cross.
It is a time to have great faith and serenity. When we experience purification, it is not something bad, but something important. Therefore, we will face great material, temporal, and spiritual difficulties, however, we will have the great sustenance of our lives, which is the presence of the Holy Trinity with us, in our midst. We will have a year of experiencing love, although loving is difficult. 
What the devil most desires is to see you at war, in persecution. Loving today is a great challenge for the Christian: loving God, loving our neighbor, and loving ourselves. This is a great challenge for these times! To win this great battle, to learn to love as Jesus loves us, to live this love of Jesus, this serenity of Jesus with us, this mission that is becoming greater each day, and therefore more difficult. 
Many times you say: “Lord, I am weak, I feel weak.” Because the struggle is great, but you cannot feel weak. Your strength comes from God, from the Holy Trinity. At the moment when the devil wants to bring you down, God wants to lift you up. Therefore, in the moment of weakness, it is the moment to be strong, it is not the moment to be weak, it is the moment to remain strong. 
My children, you who are here today and who are going through the pain of losing someone you loved so much, surrender your journey, your life, to God. No one will live forever in this passage. A day comes when God looks at the Garden and says: ‘ It is you, My son. It is you, My daughter .'” Each of us has in our mission the designs of God, entrusted to us. At no time should you feel abandoned by God. Nothing happens without God’s permission, not even pain, not even loss. 
It is often necessary to understand the meaning of the Resurrection. Death is not the end! Death is only the beginning of resurrection in Christ. It is only the beginning of a new life in Christ. 
Children, in difficult times, especially now, which is the year of God’s justice and the year of purification, do not allow yourselves to be discouraged, do not let yourselves be saddened. It is necessary to have courage and great unity. The great test to overcome this year is unity. Do not allow discord, be united. Unity is the strength of man. When man is united, he overcomes the devil. 
Our struggle and our journey of faith are to overcome the devil. We are not here by chance, we are here for a mission. You children, who go through trials to reach this Sacred place, Corgo da Igreja, how many times the devil tries to discourage you! How often you encounter so many obstacles in attaining grace! If it were the broad path of the world, you would not encounter these difficulties, but since it is the narrow path, the path of faith, of sacrifice, of penance, it is not easy to leave your homes and come to meet the things of God. It is a lesson of love. It is a lesson of surrender. Today you are soldiers of Jesus Christ with Mary Most Holy. We are fighting for the Triumph of My Immaculate Heart. With each passing year, we draw closer to this gift from God, which is the Triumph of My Motherly Immaculate Heart, and each day we will encounter more difficulties, especially in becoming what God wants us to be. 
If you look around the world today, you will see that here, in this Sanctuary of the Mother of Goodness, of the Mercy of God, Jesus places us here to live with one heart and one soul, in love. Often, the devil tries in every way to hinder you from living this love. Sometimes, silence is lacking, surrender is lacking, you fail to truly love your mission here in this Sanctuary. When you love your mission, you are able to overcome all obstacles to follow God’s will. Love is the greatest source of conversion and faith. Where there is love, there is conversion and faith. 
My children, you are here on this path, on this journey, in this struggle! It is a year of battles, a year of purification. What brings purification is suffering. No one is purified from nothing. Purification comes through pain, suffering, tears, difficult moments. Purification doesn’t come in just any way. It comes in a way that builds us strength. 
For example, My children, when you experience a loss, you are purified in pain, but then comes God’s protection that strengthens you: hope, resurrection, faith, trust. When you go through a difficult material situation, it purifies you and makes you understand that worldly things can never and should never be above the things of God. You can lose everything in life, but what you cannot lose is your faith. If you lose your faith, you have lost everything. 
Therefore, purification comes through material losses and difficulties. Purification comes through time, through what you often cannot understand, with the consequences of suffering visible to your eyes. The people of God, the family of God, the youth, how difficult it is to evangelize today! It is a difficult time. It is a time when people ignore the light, ignore the wisdom of the Holy Spirit. Therefore, suffering comes through the time we are living now. And suffering comes through the greater suffering, which is spiritual sadness. And this brings purification. It purifies the whole family. 
It is not an easy year! It is a year of struggles, of battles. This is a year in which you need to have great harmony among yourselves, because the devil will try everything to make you crumble before the crumbs of division, indifference, and inequality. It is necessary to flow with blessedness, to be prudent, to love your family, to love your prayer group, to love the Church of Jesus, to pray for the Church, and to be an army of God. What the devil wants to do is make noise. Everything is discord! Everything is confusion! Everything is revolt, persecution! And we are in a time of purification. To purify the body, to purify the soul, to purify the heart. To purify our families, our young people. And if suffering is what purifies, then we must be prepared to suffer. 
Suffering is not always bad, children. Sometimes easy is much sadder than difficulty. The difficulty that generates blessings brings prodigies of holiness. So there is no need to fear this time. 
This is a year, among all the years of justice, in which you will have the greatest grace and happiness to convert. It is the year of purification, because it will come strong, clear, and distinct, and you must remain faithful to the Holy Trinity. 
Children, God leaves us prayers, appeals, requests, and advice so that we may grow, so that we may have the leaven: Christ. Christ is our leaven. It is necessary that we learn that God loves His sinful children, but detests sin. Sin is what leads you to lose all the happiness in your lives, everything that separates you from happiness and peace. 
It is necessary that we be here today, preparing well our journey for this year of justice. What is justice? God’s justice is the only true justice. God does not deceive. He shows the truth. Therefore, God’s justice is the truth. If you are walking the path of the Lord, you will see the harvest of divine justice in your life. Perhaps you will say: “ Lord, I am faithful. I am faithful and I reap moments of pain.” Then the Lord will show that those who serve Him go through trials. There is no walking with Heaven without the cross. Christ is the Cross! Whoever wants Christ must love their Cross. You will go through trials . Be sure that, from the moment you and your family serve God, you will be persecuted, the devil will pursue you intensely. But God will provide divine strength in your life. How beautiful! God will provide divine strength in your life, which is the strength of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. This strength is always present in your life. Therefore, there is no way to walk in the footsteps of Jesus Christ without going through sacrifice, without facing trials. 
Therefore children, it is necessary to go through this time of justice. This time of justice may be longer than you imagined. Perhaps you think that justice will come quickly, but it will not be so. You will go through Mercy, you will face purification and then others, until you reach the Triumph of My Mother’s Heart. God allows us to live a sacred year. Purification is striving to be Holy. It is about living holiness. Therefore, it will not be an easy year. 
We have a very intense, very serious year ahead of us. We will go through a path that leads us to a great conversion: purification and conversion. God will provide His Grace in our lives. We believe in Divine Providence. Today, in a very special way, we will begin this new year praying intensely for the Church. It is our duty to pray for the Church, because it is all of us. The Church includes both the fragile and sinful part and the Divine part, which is the Holy Christ. 
Therefore, we must pray for the purification of the Church. Always remember that when I mention the Church, I am referring to all of us My children. Do not forget this, because sometimes, when you think of the Church, you focus only on the clergy, the priests, the Pope, forgetting that we are all the Church of Jesus Christ, which also needs purification, healing, and liberation. 
My children, I and My Son Jesus like to see your faith, even in the rain doing the Stations of the Cross (in Fatima every month); that is how it must always be done. 
Children, I want to bless you; I ask Jesus that in this new year, the heart of man may be a heart enveloped by the love of God, by charity, by fraternity, so that he may know how to overcome the time of tribulation that is here, the pain, the suffering that is so close to you. 
I conclude, My dear children, by saying once again, pray for the world, pray that there will be no war, no famine, that there will be no earthquakes, tornadoes, typhoons, torrential rains, or fires. 
I bless you, My children, and I bless this place; in it you will find refuge and salvation. In the Name of God the Father, and of God the Son, and of God the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Until next time,
Mary, Mother of Goodness,
in Corgo da Igreja.

My children, I will not go on any longer; on February 16th, day of My birthday, I will give another message to the whole world.

Message 16^th of February 2026

27^th Anniversary of the Apparitions

Message from Our Heavenly Mother

 

My dear children, today, the day of My apparitions here at Corgo da Igreja, My Heart rejoices to see you in such great numbers as pilgrims, coming from so many places in this country, to gather with Me in prayer. I have come to this Sacred place, Corgo da Igreja, for twenty-seven years to communicate messages of conversion, peace, and salvation for all humanity. During these years I have given many messages so that My children may understand the urgency and seriousness of this Sacred place, to divert humanity from the great abyss toward which it is heading.
My children, I ask the Divine Holy Spirit and Jesus Christ to be present among you at this moment, here in this Sacred place, and to care for your hearts. Ask Them for peace in every corner of your world, especially in places where there is war, violence, pain, and tears.
Dear children, I have come to you with My open arms to welcome you, to embrace you all under My Mantle. Many times I cannot do it, because there are still hearts full of false lights. Cleanse your hearts. Only then will I be able to welcome you under My Immaculate Mantle and give you true Peace. It is through Jesus, My children, only through Him, that I am here speaking to you. He, who with His Blood, His Sorrows, His Wounds and His Passion, gave you Salvation. It is through His Infinite Mercy and His Love that I come into the world. He tells Me to warn you of the risk that many of you run of losing yourselves. There are children who, with their bad lives and evil feelings, walk on the road to the abyss.
There are many others who go to Church, but in their lives they do things as if they were walking on the road to perdition.
My children, do not talk inside the churches. Be silent and speak only with Jesus. He wants to hear your requests, not your conversations. It’s not much use doing some good deeds if you are not good children. It’s not enough to just pray a lot; you need to love. It’s not enough to just have faith in your heart; you need to practice charity. Where is it, My children? I don’t see it in the hearts of many. You sing and praise God in church, adoring Him in the depths of your hearts, but after you leave, you hate your brothers and sisters and don’t forgive any of the offenses you receive.
How can you receive help from God? Loving God is very easy, children. Loving all your brothers and sisters is difficult, but not impossible. Everything is possible for those who believe. God is the way, the way that leads to Salvation. He wants to save all His children and calls you to look at your lives, to make a good examination of conscience, for your own good.
My children, sinners are not only atheists. They are also those children who go to church often, but do not repent of all the evil they do in their lives.
I see discouragement and laziness in you when it comes to praying the rosary and going to Mass. Many of you even invent excuses to do other things. And when there is some entertainment, you run off to have fun. Do not do that, My children. First of all, go to Mass and pray. Graces are in Mass and in prayer, and you do not seek them! Jesus Christ offers and gives Himself in the Blessed Sacrament, and you do not go to Him. My children, the greatest merit is Faith. The great mystery of God is Heaven opening so that I may be present in your midst, as the Lady of Goodness, the Mother of Love, and bring you this food which has an incomparable flavor to earthly bread, because this is the bread of Heaven, the Word of God, and along the path that God has led us to walk to arrive here, each one has encountered roses and thorns, the cross and pain.
The entire journey is clothed in grace, and also in sacrifice and penance. The world so desperately needs to hear Heaven! Humanity despising Christ in the Eucharist, despising love, charity, fraternity and the family.
We need to listen to Heaven. And Heaven, as it loves us and is always present in our lives, grants us graces and blessings.
Today, I rejoice to know that My coming to earth has become a great battle to overcome evil and a great quest to save souls and hearts. I feel amazed because I know that the same Holy Spirit, who has always acted in Me, continues to act even more strongly today!
I know that the situation of the world today is sad, but I understand that God’s Mercy will redeem and save the whole face of the earth. I only ask you, My children, to pray much for peace, because the world is not prepared for another world war. War in these days is like saying everything will be destroyed. Man has grown too much in science, building very good things, but terrible things as well.
If the world were to enter a world war today, how many children would lose their souls.
I know, as the Mother of God, that humanity needs a transformation. Materialism has corrupted the world. Today people only talk about power, money, and greed! They are destroyed! As Jesus said: the human being is completely hollow of spirituality. It is a reality that we must face with our eyes fixed on God, and working harder to save souls and hearts that are in need of the Triumph of the Heart of Mary.
I also know, My children, that this new year that has begun is a new time, a time of sorrow. I do not come to predict events, but I come to avoid them, to ask for your prayers, your life of penance, of sacrifice, that your knees may bend only before Jesus, asking Him for Mercy! This new year is a year of torment, a year of much pain, of difficulty, of the great need for man to convert to God. It is the year of the Cross, of trial, of difficulty, of doubt and uncertainty, and of purification, of tribulation that will undoubtedly come strongly! But it is necessary to believe. The solution for the world is not war, it is not destruction. The solution for the world is Prayer, it is Peace. What needs to be changed is the heart of man.
What makes the world live in terror and tears is the lack of basic spiritual structure in the life of each one: God, the Son of God, the Holy Spirit. Today people only talk about science, they only seek science, they only talk about material things.
Why does Heaven send Me here to earth?
Today you are honoring My coming here to this blessed place, Corgo da Igreja, a coming in which I, Mary, as your Mother, blessed the world and led it to Peace. I know how often you honor Our Lady of Fatima, of Lourdes, the Queen of Peace. I know, My children, that you pray to Our Lady of Guadalupe, to the Mother of Grace, to the Queen of Love. I also know that each one has their own devotion, each one has their own need and their own urgency of fidelity to God. But what I love most is understanding that everything is the merit of Heaven, everything is the grace of Heaven! My coming to a simple and humble place, to the hearts of simple men and women, but which, surely, much sooner than you imagine, this sacred place, Corgo da Igreja, will become a great Sanctuary, a point of prayer, of life and conversion.
Now, My children, I ask: Why all this? Because this is the work of God! Because this place is a place built by God.
Continue to come to this sacred place, Corgo da Igreja, and pay no heed to slander and falsehood. My children, whatever God the Father raises up, no one can tear down; what God builds, no one can destroy. Strength and courage, the problem will pass and victory will come.
The appeal I make to you in these twenty-seven years of journey, which I am certain, that My coming to earth in these times, after I leave this place and all the other places where I am coming in Body and Soul, everything My children, will happen! And the world will see with the eyes of the flesh and with the eyes of the heart the signs of all the graces of God here on earth!
My children, I will remain here until the end of Holy Mass, and you will see once again the consecrated Host leaving the hands of the priest at the table of the Eucharist and entering the mouth of this My son and Transforming into the Body and Blood of My Son, Jesus Christ. This is proof that Jesus is in this consecrated Host. It is a true and real miracle, showing that Jesus is in our midst. Therefore, I ask you not to receive the consecrated Host in your hands; this is a great sin, My children.
At this moment, My children, 1’245 souls will ascend to Heaven. Continue to pray and celebrate Masses for the souls in Purgatory.
My children, raise the roses and all objects; all will be blessed with special blessings for the conversion of poor sinners. These roses are for the healing and liberation of all the children who need to be healed, liberated, and exorcised. Especially for the children who are not present here in this sacred place. May Jesus enter your homes and heal the whole family.
Thank you to the children who have come from so far away, to all those present here, and to those who are here for the first time. My blessing to the sick who are here in this place and to all others.
I conclude by blessing you all, especially these My beloved sons, the priests. I give you My Motherly Heart.
May you all be at peace, in the presence of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Until we meet again,
Mary, Mother of Goodness,
in Corgo da Igreja.
