You are invited to peruse this website through the Biblical lens of St. Paul’s words in 1 Thessalonians 5:19-21:
Do not quench the Spirit. Do not despise prophetic utterances. Test everything; retain what is good.
In every age the Church has received the charism of prophecy, which must be scrutinized but not scorned.—Cardinal Ratzinger (BENEDICT XVI), Message of Fatima, Theological Commentary, www.vatican.va
Given this wisdom, proceed with caution under the guidance of Scripture and Tradition, never placing all of your hope in or relying on the words of just one prophet or seer, or even many. This site includes what is called “private revelation”—past and present. The title “private” could be considered a misnomer, as a great deal of private revelation has been made very public, such as the Rosary, as revealed by Our Lady to St. Dominic, the Brown Scapular as revealed to St. Simon Stock, and the Divine Mercy devotions (which include Divine Mercy Sunday and the Divine Mercy Chaplet) originating from Jesus’ “private” revelation to St. Faustina Kowalska.
Public revelation, on the other hand, refers to the Deposit of Faith: Scripture and Tradition as interpreted by the True Magisterium, the official teaching of the Catholic Church. Public revelation ended with the death of the last of the twelve apostles. This end does not mean, however, that God has ceased speaking to current generations. He still is.
Heaven’s words are often interpreted through our flawed humanity, and mistakes can sometimes happen. St. Faustina Kowalska, the apostle of Divine Mercy, believed that an angel of God told her to throw her Diary into the fire, and so she did. The angel was Satan, however, and she had to write her her entire Diary over again. St. Paul believed that Jesus would return to earth in his lifetime and his zeal was enhanced by this erroneous belief. Jesus did not come in his day. Yet, we would never throw out all else that these two great saints have written and prophesied on the basis of their errors. Nor do their mistakes dampen their holiness. They are human. The seers and locutionists on this website are human, as well. We invite you to read all messages with this understanding in mind.
With the publication of the document, Norms for Proceeding in the Discernment of Alleged Supernatural Phenomena, the Catholic Church abdicated its historical role of discerning phenomena as definitely supernatural, while maintaining its role of condemning such phenomena—even when events may have formerly received approval from the Church. The highest approval the Vatican now gives to a supernatural claim is the “Nihil Obstat,” which means that nothing contrary to faith or morals is occurring. The apparitions of Medjugorje, for example, have received this approbation.
The inclusion of certain seers and locutionists on this website is not an endorsement of everything they have ever said or written. The reader’s discernment should be cautious and sober, keeping in mind that the many languages on the site, other than the original English, are provided by an automatic translator that may cause errors. The content of the messages is the responsibility of the seer or locutionist, and if evaluated by the competent Church authority, the responsibility defers to that authority.
The faithful are not the final arbiters of private revelation, but nor are they apart from it. As the Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches us:
“It is not [so-called ‘private’ revelations’] role to improve or complete Christ’s definitive revelation, but to help live more fully by it in a certain period of history. Guided by the magisterium of the Church, the census fidelium [the sense of the faithful] knows how to discern and welcome in these revelations whatever constitutes an authentic call of Christ or his saints to the Church. . .” (§67)
