MESSAGE FROM OUR LORD JESUS – received on Friday, 5th June, 2020 at 11:10pm

It is time to unite everyone in the world under one family, the Heavenly Family, which is the Holy Trinity together with the Holy Family, to battle against satan. It will be the most powerful army in the world. My Sacred Heart and My Mother’s Immaculate Heart will triumph. My Holy Mother is unleashing Her children, Her Army, to be united in this great battle for the Holy Trinity, as She is part of the Heavenly Family.

THE UNITY PRAYER TO THE HEAVENLY FAMILY

I/We who have been called by Almighty God, and who belong to various movements in the Church of God (singles, families, prayer groups, all movements, communities, religious communities, priests, bishops, cardinals, and Pope) throughout the whole world, unite ourselves and unify in prayer all our prayers, sufferings, sacrifices and joys, in faith, with Love each day, to the Heavenly Family, which is the Holy Trinity with the Holy Family. We, the children of the whole world, unite and become warriors and soldiers of the greatest and most powerful army of God, that has ever existed, to fight against satan and his evil
cohorts.

We are the army of God, united with St Michael and all Celestial beings, angels, saints, and people in Heaven and Purgatory, for the Victorious Heavenly Family, Sacred Heart of Jesus, and the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Dearest heavenly family, we love you, we console you in these days of great darkness that has come upon this world. Please protect us from satan and all his evilness. May the most Precious Blood of Jesus cover us, and protect us, and imprison satan forever. We are your united children who ask to come under the protection and banner of the Holy Trinity.

Amen.

Pray:
One Our Father, One Hail Mary and One Glory Be

Pray three times:
Heavenly Family save us.
Holy Cross protect us.

Dearest Father in Heaven, Our Lord Jesus, God the Holy Spirit, with Holy Mother Mary and St Joseph, I consecrate to the Heavenly Family, my family and all children and adults from the time of conception to the time of their death, and I place them under the protection of The Cross.

Pray:
One Our Father,
one Hail Mary, and one Glory Be
Say three times:
Heavenly Family save us.
Holy Cross protect us.

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.
