The Message of Truth: Preparing for the Illumination

Received: August 2025- Ireland

The following message was received by a woman in Ireland during Adoration. Having received the affirmation of many clergy, she shares the words she was commanded to write by our Beloved Jesus:

“My Child,

Live in truth. Let The Truth be your guiding light and in the forefront of your mind. With Truth you can overcome every obstacle and evil that comes against you. Truth is an impenetrable shield, it protects you from evil and from evil people. It is your SHIELD OF PROTECTION.

All will come to know this truth in the end, as they stand before me for their judgement. In this final judgement, Truth will be revealed to each heart. Learn now to treasure Truth above every other thing.

Have I not said that I am the Way, The Truth and The Life! I am the Way that is revealed in Salvation History and the Revelation of My Word which is left to you to help you on The Way. I AM The Way.

But my Child, so few stop to ponder that I am the Truth. The thoughts of every heart will be laid bare when I stand before each of you individually. The Truth will be revealed to you fully from the moment of your conception and the receiving of your Soul, to the moment of your judgement.

My Child, my children are not prepared for this. Tell them that I judge all with The Truth and I search and probe the secret hidden life of each person. Tell them to prepare now for My Illumination. This will be much less severe an encounter if you begin to live now in The Truth. Tell my children to ask me to reveal to them The Truth of their life and their Souls.

Don’t ever be afraid of this because I, your Good Jesus, will be with you through it all. Have courage and Trust in Me and I will shine My Truth into your souls and you will see clearly. Then, when you give me permission in the Sacrament of Confession, with my Priest whom I work through, I will dispel the darkness and only truth, goodness, and light will remain in you.

This is part of My Good News. So don’t be afraid. It will cause you suffering, but this suffering will heal your soul and make you completely new and then you will be able to live in My Will and you will be happy.

Desire this my Child. If you find it hard to desire this, then desire to desire this. I will give you great desires if you ask me. I am very simple you know. You just be simple with me too and be yourself. I desire Truth in The Heart!

Shalom My Child,

Your Beloved Jesus.“

Reflection: The Apostles of Truth

Today, as we honor Saints Cyril and Methodius, we see the living embodiment of this message. These brothers did not allow the faithful to remain in the confusion of error; they translated the Truth into a language the heart could understand, bringing souls into the soaring light of God’s Word.

Just as Jesus warns that Truth acts as a “shield,” these Saints faced intense persecution to protect the Deposit of Faith

. They understood that to live in the Divine Will, one must first dispel the darkness of the “secret hidden life” through the sacramental life of the Church

Following Jesus requires us to be like the trout in a river, a strong fish that perseveres by swimming against the current

. To live for His Kingdom, we must swim against the tides of the world and view Confession not as a place of judgment, but as the greatest act of Mercy

Call to Action: Your Lifetime Confession

Jesus warns that many are “not prepared” for the coming Illumination of Conscience. He invites us to make this encounter “much less severe” by living in the Truth now.

Do not delay. This is not to shame you or make you dread the confessional;

it is to help free you of sin. When you examine your heart, do so with the heart of Jesus, who wants you to be aware of what sin actually is so you can surrender it all to Him

. We are human and will fall, but Confession is the gift that helps us up again

Preparation for the Sacrament

According to the guidance of a priest, keep these three conditions for Mortal Sin in mind as you prepare:

Serious Matter: The act involves a grave violation of God’s law.
Knowledge: You had a firm belief or knowledge that the act was seriously wrong before doing it.
Full Consent: You gave full consent of your will to the act.

Note: All three must be present at the same time for a sin to be mortal. If you did not know it was wrong or did not freely will it, you are not guilty of mortal sin.

The Act of Contrition

When you stand before the Priest, pray with a simple heart: “O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee, and I detest all of my sins because of Thy just punishments. But most of all because they offend Thee my God, who art all good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve, with the help of Thy grace, to sin no more, and to avoid the near occasions of sin. Amen.”

38 Years of Faith on the Move: A Record Breaking Year

This year marked the 38th annual Walk to Knock, also known as the Cursillo Peace Walk, and the response was nothing short of miraculous. For the first time in its history, pilgrims from Limerick and Galway joined forces with established walk groups from Derry, Belfast and Dublin.

The Road to the Triumph was used as the central place where people could register for the walks, and it was wonderful to hear that this 38th year was record breaking for registration and participation. It proves that the spiritual harvest in Ireland is not only alive, but actively growing.

“If faith does not arrive through interior conversion, it has not arrived anywhere.” Robert Nugent

The Origins and Spiritual History of the Walk

To understand why thousands walk this path today, we must look at where it began. The walk was first conceived as a response to both historical suffering and spiritual calling.

Thomas Gallagher recalls the early days of the initiative and a crucial piece of advice that shaped its identity:

“It came about of an idea to have a sponsored walk for the 10th anniversary of Cursillo. That would have been around 1987. Billy Doherty said, ‘Listen Thomas, forget about money. Forget about doing anything for the 10th anniversary, because money only destroys things.’ He said, ‘Therefore do the walk for peace.’ The peace that we are walking for is an individual peace.”

Thomas goes on to reflect on the deep historical roots of Knock itself, pointing back to the Great Famine and Archdeacon Cavanagh, who offered 100 Masses over 100 days for the Holy Souls prior to the famous 1879 apparition:

“Knock is a response to that pain, and that suffering… Our Lady came to comfort the people… This is what Knock is all about, it is what the hidden factor is, never mind the apparition, is the amount of souls that went to Heaven. So in many ways I think what is really happening here on the walk… people are discovering Christ on the walk, because He is literally here with us. And that is when they accept Christ in their heart, and they find the peace that the world cannot give.”

“The walk to Knock is special because it is a spiritual event. It is deeply rooted in prayer. It is deeply rooted in the Mass, because we are making God the centre of it… You have already said ‘Yes’ just by taking the first step, and allowing God to reveal Himself along the way.”

Muscular Catholicism in Action

Bishop Donal McKeown once remarked that Derry Catholics practise a kind of “muscular Catholicism”. They do not just travel to holy sites; they physically walk the distance, embracing penance, summer heat, sore feet and hard floors along the way.

Starting out from locations such as Maynooth College, which provided fantastic hospitality and accommodation for the Dublin walk, pilgrims traversed miles of Irish countryside. They slept in local GAA and sports halls, blew up air mattresses and shared simple meals together. This journey mirrors the very way Christ and His apostles evangelised by setting out on foot, relying on hospitality and meeting people exactly where they are.

Reaching Outside the Comfort Zone: Special Shout Out to John Connors

Why are these walks attracting so many people, including young men, first time pilgrims and those who have never stepped foot in Knock before?

Grassroots Catholic Leadership & Social Media Witness: A massive shout out goes to the Irish actor John Connors, who boldly used his online presence to inspire and drive people to register for this year’s walk. You can watch his powerful call to action on Facebook. Alongside his wife Danielle, John runs an incredible ministry and YouTube channel dedicated to reviving the faith. We highly recommend that you subscribe to their channel, Reclaim the Faith. Leaders like John and Aaron Gallagher, who led the Dublin route, stepped up to get the word out, proving that the Holy Spirit is actively using digital platforms to reach people who feel alienated from traditional parish structures.
An Authentic Encounter: People are not looking for polite, watered down religion. They are seeking a lived, tangible encounter with Christ, authentic community and shared prayer.
