Jesus at San Nicolás de los Arroyos: "Souls will come to me through the means of Mary’s Immaculate Heart." (II)

Gladys has shared about 1,800 messages from the Virgin Mary. Many focus on topics like peace, repentance, returning to the sacraments, and drawing people closer to Christ. But there are also messages in an apocalyptic theme, predicting great turmoil for humanity ahead.(...)

At one point, Mary said, "Many hearts do not accept my invitation to prayer and to conversion. That is why the work of the devil is growing and expanding."

The warnings said that mankind is "in the process of falling into a progressive self-destruction" and the Virgin Mary represents hope. "It is up to you to set your eyes and your heart on God," she said.

"I want to cure my children from this illness which is materialism; an illness which makes many suffer. I want to help them discover Christ, and I want to make it known to them that Christ prevails over everything," Mary said in the apparition. She stressed the importance of prayer, especially the rosary.

The apparition of Jesus told Gladys, "If this generation will not listen to my mother, it will perish. I ask everyone to listen to her. Man's conversion is necessary."

"Today I warn the world, for the world is not aware: souls are in danger. Many are lost," Jesus said in a 1987 apparition. "Few will find salvation unless they accept me as their Savior. My mother must be accepted. My mother must be heard in the totality of her messages. The world must discover the richness she brings to Christians."

"The children of sin will grow up in sin if their unbelief increases. I want a renewal of the spirit, a detachment from death, and an attachment to life. I have chosen the heart of my mother, so that what I ask will be achieved. Souls will come to me through the means of her Immaculate Heart."

The diocese's successive local bishops have discussed the apparitions several times. Bishop Domingo Salvador Castagna ordered the construction of a shrine as the Virgin had requested. Construction began in 1987 and the shrine was consecrated in 1990. That year, he approved the publication and dissemination of the messages of Our Lady of the Rosary in San Nicolas.

Every year, a massive pilgrimage to the shrine takes place on May 22.

It is unique that the bishops have approved the apparition messages (on May 22, 2016) from 1983-1990, even though the apparition is continuing today.
