Our Lady of Kibeho
“Thirteen years before the bloody 1994
genocide that swept across Rwanda and left more than a million people dead, the
Virgin Mary and Jesus Christ appeared to eight young people (three of the
visionaries have already been approved by the Church, unheard of given the
length of time it normally takes to approve visions-my words). Through these
visionaries, Mary and Jesus warned of the looming holocaust, which, they
assured, could be averted if Rwandans opened their hearts to God and embraced
His love.” (Our Lady of Kibeho, Immaculee Ilibagiza, Hay House, 2008). Although
tens of thousands of pilgrims came to Kibeho, the sight of the apparitions,
many did not take the messages seriously and did not repent, give up hatred and
pride, and turn their lives over to God. As a result, many of these same
pilgrims participated in the killings. Mary left many messages at Kibeho which,
she said at the time, were not just warnings and pleadings for Rwanda, but for
the world. I give you today Mary’s plea for us to change the way we pray and
live, to humble ourselves before God and beg for His forgiveness and then to
show that same mercy and forgiveness to others. Mary told us at Kibeho that the
tragedy which would befall Rwanda would only happen there and to the rest of
the world if men choose to ignore God’s ways and keep themselves as their own
Gods. Sadly, the title of Immaculee’s latest documentary on Kibeho, Rwanda, says
it all: “If Only We Had Listened.” For more information on Our Lady of Kibeho,
and on Immaculee Ilibagiza, a young woman who survived the holocaust and has
written several books on her experiences, go to www.ourladyofkibeho.com or www.immaculee.com. If you make any
resolutions this year, resolve to read Imaculee’s books and take the messages
to heart.
Here is what Mary said
in Kibeho:
My children, there are many who want to pray, who try to
pray, but do not know how to pray. You must ask for the strength and knowledge
to understand what is expected of you. My love goes out to you all, for
there are many here who want to reach the road to heaven, but do not have the
strength or knowledge to ask for God’s help. My dear children, listen to my
words, for I will teach you how to pray from the bottom of your hearts.
You must begin your prayers by offering God all you conceal
in your soul. God sees your every action and knows your every thought; you can
hide nothing from Him. But you must tell Him yourself – you must be willing and
strong enough to confess all of your transgressions of body, mind and spirit to
Him. Hold back nothing; admit all your bad deeds and thoughts. Then, you must
ask for God’s forgiveness from the bottom of your heart. Rest assured that if
you confess and seek forgiveness sincerely, He will forgive you. By beginning
this way, the sins you carried will not distract you from praying sincerely.
You can then speak to Him knowing that your heart is clean and your conscience
is clear. Pray to Him fervently, make a petition, beg His favor, ask for His
blessing; God sees into your soul and knows you seek His help with a repentant
heart.
Then, my children, you too must offer forgiveness by asking
God to forgive all those who have trespassed against you, all who have caused
you suffering or given you insult or injury. Forgive them in prayer and ask God
to bless and help them.
Then pray for the spiritual and physical welfare of your
relatives, for all of your brothers and sisters, that God may bless them. Then
give thanks to Him for having received and answered your prayers. Most
important, you must ask God for the strength you need to do His will; ask for
the strength not to stray from his light, Pray for the courage and wisdom to
walk only the road leading to heaven.
And never forget, my children, to pray for the strength to
be humble. Your prayers have no meaning if they do not come from the depths of
your heart, and you cannot open your heart to the Lord without humility.
I love you, my children. When you lack the strength to pray, ask for my help.
Pray for my intercession, and I will strengthen you and bring you to my Son and
to the Father through your prayer.
My friends: Will We Listen?
