"I am descended from the Sky on the earth to convert you. Formerly, peoples were religious, and their harvests were abundant. At present, on the contrary, harvests are thin. If you want to harvest in abundance, you do not have to work Sunday, because Sunday you have to go to the church and to pray God to forgive your sins. He has given you six days to work, and one to rest you and to pray, to help poor people and to go to the church. Those which murmur against My Religion and despise this Holyed Letter will be abandoned by Me.
On the contrary, those which will keep on them a copy of this letter will be preserved of the death by drowning and the sudden death, as well as all contagious sicknesses and the thunderbolt; they will not die without confession and will be preserved of their enemies and the hand of the bad authorities, as well as all their slanderers and false witnesses. The women in danger, at the time of the childbirth, will overcome all the difficulties by keeping this prayer close of her. In houses where one will keep this prayer, no misfortune will never arrive, and 40 days before the death of a person that guards this prayer on him or on her, the Virgin Mary will appear to him or to her.
To all believers that will recite during 3 years each days, 2 Pater, Ave and Gloria, in the honor of Blood Drops which I lost, I will grant the five following graces:
- Plenary indulgence and the discount of your faults;
- You will be exempt of the sorrows of the Purgatory;
- If you die before to have accomplished the 3 years, it will be the same thing as if you had finished them;
- At your death, this will be AS IF YOU HAD POURED ALL YOUR BLOOD FOR THE FAITH;
- I will go down from the Sky to come to seek your soul and those of your children until the 4th GENERATION.
