First Apparition of the Holy Archangel Raphael         

It was on an evening in mid August 1984 that I, Wim Holtschlag, had trouble falling asleep, but finally I succeeded. Suddenly I awakened because someone called me twice by my first name. I was frightened. My first thought was that there was something wrong with the children, although they never called me by my first name, but dad.

When I looked up, I saw at the foot of the bed a “hazy figure.” His eyes (dark brown) and his half-length hair (golden blond) were quite plain to see. This “figure” asked me to get up and go with him because he wanted to show me something. I got up and took his hand. I was not anxious or afraid because peace went out from him. The thought came to me that I was going to die and this “figure” had come to get me, but I had no fear.

From out of the bedroom we were suddenly outside and moved in a westerly direction. Outside it was radiantly beautiful weather. While we were on the way, I made the following remark: “What an incredibly beautiful weather!” I got as an answer: “Jesus is happy because it is the day of the Blessed Sacrament.” He goes on: “It is also the day of the Blessed Virgin.” In the meantime we arrived at the place where we have to be. We were on the edge of a gradient.  Left of us stood three high trees and a little farther two more. About 200 meters further I saw a farm.

Meanwhile, “the figure” that from the beginning had held my left hand, had let go of it. He went down the gradient and went to an iron door. Next, he opened the door and beckoned me to come to him. I went down the gradient and saw it was covered with grass. Upon reaching the door he asked me to go inside. Because it was not very high I had to duck. We entered into sort of a hall. We went through an opening of which I did not know if it was a door and entered into a space of about 80 square meters. Suddenly I became aware that this space would be useful as a chapel or church. At home I was busy making church pews and these would fit in this room. There would be two times five rows of pews with each bench having four seats, a centre aisle and on the outsides space for two aisles. At the moment I realised this, I saw standing there, the altar that I made and which at the moment is used every Sunday. I clearly saw the letters PX.

“The figure” came and stood beside me and I asked: “Why 40 seats?” I received as answer: “Because this space is meant for perpetual Adoration.” My next question was: “What is the meaning of all this and why do you bring me here?” As answer I received: “Because in the near future we need this space for more people.” Then he showed me two more spaces, of which at that moment I thought: “These are meant to be sleeping and eating facilities.” Next I was asked to go outside with him. There I stood beside him and saw a long line of people coming. Some of them nodded to me in a friendly way while others patted me on the shoulders. All went inside. When the last one was in, I was also asked to go in while “the figure” remained outside. He closed the door. I don’t know how long I remained inside. When the door opened again I first saw “the figure.” He was encircled by light and I saw that the sun was still shining. He asked me to come outside. When I did this I saw that everything was black (comparable with ploughed land). As far as I could see there was no grass, there were no trees and everything was black. Then “the figure” said to me: “This is the new beginning. All this concerns the near future.” He pointed to the space behind the door and said; “This shall be the first shelter for the people.”

Again I was asked to hold onto his hand and while we were underway he said: “Write everything down I have shown and told you. My answer was: “I cannot write very well”, to which he answered that I should not worry about it, that everything would see to itself. I heard that I must pray much and that I must train myself in prayer. I heard that I must focus myself more on God and set earthly thing away from me. I didn’t have to be afraid, just trust Jesus.

In the meantime we were back home and in the bedroom. “The figure” said that he would be back. I went to bed and he went away while I laid myself down and went to sleep. The next morning I found that I did not have a good sleep and that I had a strange dream. I was very tired when I got up.

Further, I paid no more attention to this and did not talk about it with anyone; not even my wife.

A few weeks later I was with my wife visiting acquaintances that belong to the Catholic Community in Haaksbergen. The man told me a story about three dark days and that he had an eye on a certain space in connection with this. This place was bomb and gas free. Suddenly the dream or vision with all the details of that particular night came back to me. I told the man: “I was there already.” Surprised he asked me to tell him everything, and my story was identical to everything he knew about this place.

Second apparition of the Holy Archangel Raphael

In the night of the 13 to 14 of June 1985, a tap on my left shoulder awakened me. When I looked up to the back of the bed I saw again “the same figure” as in August 1984. This time I saw it much clearer. His face was clear to see; it was the face of a young man. His age was about 25-28 years. He was tall and strong. At the same time I saw his robe, which was cream-colored (lustrous fabric) and a smile was on his face.

When I wanted to ask him “Why are you so happy?” he said: “You must know that today is the day of the Blessed Sacrament and the Sacred Heart of Jesus.” He bows deeply and respectfully. Then he said that Jesus is very happy when He is visited frequently in the Holy Eucharist. I then promised to attend the Holy Mass every Friday. He answered: “That will bring much joy to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.” With the annunciation of the name “Jesus” he always bows very deeply and respectfully with folded hands. Afterwards I asked him: “Is it good what we do in our faith community?” He reacted: “Very soon you shall, in your community, which is under the guidance of good priests, live to see a joyful day. After that, it will be clear to you that it is good, through the actions of a representative of Him, whom He sends.” Then he said: “You shall place yourself under the guidance of a good priest.” Therefore I asked: “You mean Father (N.1) or…?” Before I got to speak the name of father (N.2) he said: “The priest who is in your thought now is good. This priest is informed of the happenings and stands close to your community.”

Next I wanted to enquire after the situation of a seriously ill young man. Without stating the question I got the following answer: “Only through the laying on of hands and calling on the name of Jesus Christ will this young man be healed. Add to that your prayer and that of your community and it will enhance his healing. It would be good if through prayer you gave yourself totally to your Creator and that you write all of this down. Soon I shall return”. Slowly “the figure” became dissolved and was gone.

Third apparition of the Holy Archangel Raphael

In the night of 22-23 June 1985 I was awakened for the third time and again saw “the figure” at the foot-end of the bed. This time all was even clearer than the previous times. His clothing was a sort of “snow-white alb.” The sleeves were very wide. He held his hands crossed on his chest. Whenever he spoke of godly things he folded his hands, palms together. Again came questions (of two women with whom I had spoken) in my thoughts. However, before I could ask them I received the answers.

He spoke clearly: “ Call me Raphael.” Next he went to the holy-water font, dipped his hand in it and went back to the place were he stood before. He made the sign of the cross and said: “In the Name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.” Doing this he bends very deep and respectfully. Then he said: “This is proof for you that it is good.”

“Your close relatives and your spouse serve The Lord day and night. Except the relative from your spouse who is in your thoughts…Jesus is merciful. Through much prayer and the Holy Eucharist shall he also serve the Lord our God. Your spouse can contribute to this through prayer and penance. Let her turn herself to the Blessed Virgin and triple her prayer to Her. She shall often call on her guardian angel, who will be of help and support to her. After that St. Raphael spoke about Mrs.… “The lady, who is closely associated with your community, whose spouse does not participate, shall out of necessity increase her prayer for him nine fold. She must let go of everything earthly, and turn herself completely over to Christ in order to save herself and her family. Also, she must again start the prayer which she has stopped saying.”

Meanwhile I remembered the announcement regarding our faith community and the promised joyful day. To that he replied: “Remember last Sunday, when you, during the Holy Eucharist, saw an angel receive Jesus in his heart.” On June 16 we had a Polish boy receive his first Holy Communion, which gave everyone much joy.

After that Raphael uttered the desire that he also wished to be closely connected with our community. I said that the chapel was already consecrated to “Mary, Queen of Peace.” He reacted thereto with: “Yes, that gives the Blessed Virgin much joy. For me also, will it bring much joy to have a place in this chapel.” Also he said again that I must talk about everything with a “good priest.” He pointed out again to put everything down in writing.

Thereupon he said that he would be back. Then appeared before Raphael a chapel with a round dome, which he protected with his wings. After that, everything blurred and he was gone too.

 On Thursday 27 June 1985 I had a talk with father (N 2). It seemed that, without my knowledge, this priest was much aware about the angel-workings. There even lay a litany at his desk of the Holy Angels. Of this we were allowed to take a sample, make copies of it, and spread them around. This priest thought that my story would have a follow-up.  He thought that my experience related to the difficult times awaiting us. The priest advised me, to ask at the next visit of St. Raphael, if he would give his messages clearer, because we are such simple people. Further, the priest found that it is known, when people come in contact with the Holy Angels, they often get an answer before the question is expressed in words. He also told me that by a similar appearance, vision or dream “the figure” is often unclear or hazy and that this appearance slowly becomes fuller and clearer. I had a fine talk with the priest and understood that afternoon that we must pray much more often to the angels, that we must call on them to help us and that we must be grateful for this help. I cannot think that I can span the difficult time awaiting us, without the help of the angels. 

Fourth appearance of the Holy Archangel Raphael

In the night of 15-16 August 1985 I was awakened at 2 o’clock and saw St. Raphael standing at the foot-end of my bed. He was dressed, the same as last time, in a snow-white garment. Everything was even clearer than before. A shaft of light surrounded him. He motioned to me that I should come to him. I got up. “Pray with me!” he said, kneeling down before a small mission cross on the wall. I followed his example. He said: “In honour of the five Holy Wounds of my master we pray his prayer.” He started with: “In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.” He bowed deeply praying this. Obviously I went along with him. Together we prayed slowly and solemnly five times the Our Father and five times Glory be. Again he crossed himself, bowed deeply and stood up.

Next he said: “See me as the angel of God, my Creator and Master, third in rank. Call me Raphael.” Again he spoke saying: “Bringing peace to this home and household.” Thereby I thought of the children and he gestured to me to follow him. We were at once in the bedroom of my daughter. The angel Raphael pointed with his right hand to the bed and said: “See, an angel of God protects her.” Thereby I saw an angel completely clothed in white, stand by her bed, his hands crossed over his chest and the eyes cast downward. The angel stood in a protective posture. Next we went to the bedroom of my son. The same scene repeated itself. Here Raphael said: “So you can see that the children are under the protection of God’s angels. They don’t have to be afraid for the future when they walk in God’s ways. Teach them to lay their lives in the hands of my Master.”

The following refers to the questions of a priest of whom a letter, in closed envelope, lay in a drawer of my nightstand. St. Raphael said: “The anointed of God, who has questions regarding his life, must call on St. Bernard, a servant of my Lord and Master, and contemplate his life. Doing that, he will receive answers to his questions.”

Thereupon he said: “Dress yourself in the next few minutes.” I dressed myself and realized that he was no longer present. Still, a hazy light stayed behind. About five minutes later, just when I was done dressing, the angel Raphael stood, dressed in purple, at the foot-end of our bed and said: “This is my penitential garment. Now you shall see the atrocities of the world.” He then put out his hand, which I grasped and so we left the house. Some people ask me if I really went with the angel.

About the happenings of that night I can give the following report. In the evening when I went to bed, all the buttons were on my shirt. I tore a button of my left sleeve during my hasty dressing, which I put in the breast pocket and went away with St Raphael. I came back, undressed and went back to bed.

While dressing the next morning I told my wife: “A button became undone last night but I saved it.” I removed the button from my breast pocket. My wife was flabbergasted when I soberly stated: “I have been away with St. Raphael!”

There was light outside and we went in an easterly direction. Below me I saw different countries, races and peoples. I saw the abominations of the world and the people who, through their actions, are the reason for the suffering of Christ. This suffering is caused by: abortions, fornications, homosexuality, sacrilege, war, murder, violence, swearing, slander, child molestation, etc. I saw thereby the image of Jesus with a Heart radiating love, which was not accepted by the people. Christ cried; heavy tears fell down His cheeks.

From the earth arose a terrible stench. This was similar to sulphur and manure, an indescribable stench. Thereby I saw a beastlike figure with a head as from a goat, with horns. His hands were claws with which he held a sack with gold pieces. St. Raphael pointed to this figure and said: “This is the angel of perdition.” The people received their gold pieces as reward for their wicked works. I saw innocent children beaten and being sexually misused by grownups. In the Netherlands I saw five children who were being murdered through abortion. In Japan was this tenfold and in America still more. Over the whole world I saw man as well as woman, who slept with people of the same gender, getting pleasure from each other’s bodies. I also saw God’s anointed men and woman, in priestly clothing or habit, who were unfaithful to their promise or vow and who during the day fulfilled their priestly or religious assignments but gave themselves over at night to sex-lives. Again I saw the weeping Christ as previously described. 

Again, through all these actions, unworthy of man came the same stench up. The angel of perdition stood laughing on the side let go of a howl like a crying wolf. Then the angel of perdition changed and also became a priest. He appeared completely normal. While he went amongst the unsuspecting people he encouraged them to do evil under the guise that it was good. I heard people swear and slander God. Also I saw people with a head cover like a sort of turban, trample on the Cross of Christ, breaking it. I saw woman in man’s clothing (long pants). I also saw a woman in a coverall at a construction site. Hereof said the angel full of abhorrence: “The place of a woman in God’s creation, as He meant it, is to be mother in the household and to look after her children, full of humility and co-operating in God’s creation.” Hereby I saw a mother with her children. She told them of the love of Jesus Christ.

Suddenly I could no longer look at the suffering done onto Christ. The angel then held his hand before my eyes and comforted me saying: “You will also see the good that still lives in this world.” Upon this I received a picture of a group of people (mostly women) dressed in half-length skirts and their head covered with a cloth. They were busy praying the rosary. A light shaft went from this to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus and he laughed. Then St. Raphael said: “Let this be an example for your community, encourage many people to prayer. Prayer and sacrifice can be the deliverance for this condemned world. Go often on a pilgrimage.” Again I saw people, and among them priests pointed out by St. Raphael, who where of good will and who had consecrated their lives to God.

Further, I saw people totally naked, who truly owned nothing and who suffered terribly from hunger. This was compared with my own “riches” like my home, my furniture, the rich food and drink, money, clothing etc. Hereupon the angel said: “Do like my Master did and share with your brothers, like the one who stands naked beside you: clothe him.” Then I saw a man who was terribly hungry. “Feed him. This is the wish of my Master and the creator of heaven and earth; Share your earthly belongings with your brothers, the creatures of God’s hand.”

Next I saw Jesus Christ sitting on a throne with His hands stretched out to a procession of uncountable children clothed in white. Directly upon their arriving they rallied around His throne like little angels. I remembered their faces. They were the aborted children. After this we returned the same way we came, to my bedroom. Raphael then said: “Put down in writing everything you have seen and heard. You can expect me four times yet and the last time shall be when the end-time is there.”

He spoke further: “Before the end-time a decree shall be given by the holder of St. Peter’s Chair, John-Paul the second. A writing made by you, and the anointed who leads you in the language of the Holy Church, what for you is a dead language. (Personally I thought hereby about Latin).

It will be a writing concerning the seal of the living God. Look for it in the Holy Bible, under the name of St. John. This contains that the holder of St. Peter’s Chair shall call for a forty day fast, after the example of my Master. After that, all who remain faithful, shall receive the sacrament of repentance, shall renew their baptismal promise and thereby receive the laying on of hands by a priest. The first one to do this must be the occupier of St. Peter’s Chair, John-Paul the second. By this action shall the one named here, receive the seal from the Holy Spirit. He passes this on in the same way to the cardinals, bishops and priests. Then also shall the faithful receive the seal of the living God. You shall be further and extensively informed about what must happen.”

At the end of the appearance St. Raphael took in his hands the procession cross, that is meant for the pilgrimage to Heede (a small village in northern Germany). This cross stands in the corner of my bedroom. He said: “The work that you do is good and brings happiness to my Master. Keep praying and lay your life in His hands.” Suddenly I thought about the pain in my leg and he said: “Offer it up for the suffering that my Master carried.” After that he put the procession cross back in its place. Then I thanked St. Raphael for everything I had heard and seen and he laughed happily, bent very deep to the mission cross on the wall and said: “Angelorum Domine.” Hereafter he blurred and was gone. I looked at the alarm clock. It was exactly five o’clock. I undressed and went to bed.

Fifth apparition of the Holy Archangel Raphael

In the night of 25-26 September 1985 I awoke at about 2 am. Again I saw St. Raphael at the foot-end of my bed. He was dressed in green  (grass green) and was surrounded by a shaft of light. His face shone from happiness when he said: “This night is a time of happiness in heaven. Stand up, dress yourself and come with me.” Hurriedly I dressed and together we went underway. From out of the bedroom we went up, higher and higher, through the clouds, to the place where we had to be. There I looked into a depth, a valley or a large pit, with upstanding edge. The diameter was about 100 meters. In the pit burned a fire, in which were hundreds of beings. They looked like people. All had mournful faces. They were not consumed by the fire and were arranged at different heights, placed on different levels. All were dressed in grey. The lower the level they were on, the darker their clothing. St. Raphael said: “See (and he pointed up) the prayer from your spouse is granted.” Then I saw two angels dressed in white come down. One of the beings was taken by the arms and pulled up from the pit. When this being was above the fire it’s clothing turned suddenly as white as snow. Subsequently this being looked back and I recognised him as a close relative of mine. He laughed to me. They went higher to a place where more angels were and sang: GLORIA IN EXCELCIS DEO. I was filled with a great inner happiness. The angel Raphael said: “The holy name that was added to his calling name has contributed to his going up to his Lord and Master. Now he shall serve his Lord and Master who is the Merciful One, for eternity.”

Next we went back to the bedroom and Raphael said: “Pray with me the following prayer.” He kneeled, bowed deeply to the mission cross and made a sign of the cross. “In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen. Lord Jesus Christ, I adore your five Holy Wounds and put my life in your service. I want to pray and meditate on these five Our Fathers. Grant me, therefore, the strength to fulfill this promise in order to mitigate the Passion you suffered for the forgiveness of our sins.”

Further St. Raphael said: “Concerning the man who had questions about his living and who asked how he can serve my Master: “This man must openly admit all his shortcomings to all whom he has slighted, also to his spouse. He shall honestly divide all the earthly goods, which he has collected, among his fellow citizen who have nothing. After he has done all this he must renew his spiritual life, and support the people who want to stay true to my Master, with all his inner strength. Then peace shall rule in his heart and in his family. His spouse, children and grandchildren shall look at him with pride, because he has returned to the house of his Father, to serve Him and only Him. He shall go on a pilgrimage to soften his punishment. God’s angels watch over him.”

Further St. Raphael said: “Mention to the woman who stands close to your community and who wants further clarifications: with “nine fold” is meant nine rosaries to the honour of the mother of my master, the Blessed Virgin Mary. To point out the seriousness of your condition: your pride should change into modesty and humility, your lying into honesty, your slander into devotion and love for your neighbours. Use all your power for the community to which you have been chosen. Then peace shall reign in your heart and your family. Pray, work and entrust your life to the Most Sacred Heart of my Master and to the Immaculate Heart of the Holy Virgin Mary. And when sometimes you give something to benefit your neighbour, let not your right hand know what your left hand is doing, so that a flood of grace will descend on you to benefit the health of your soul.”

Continuing, St. Raphael said: “Concerning the woman who had questions about her spirituality: tell her to be an example to her neighbours in humility, honesty and love and through practising works of charity. Do not put yourself above your neighbours and live your faith with full expression. Meditate on the five Holy Wounds of My Master in your prayer. Call on the Holy Angel who stands above me, because he shall crush the head of the serpent and remove all demonic forces, so that by the following feast day of the Blessed Virgin Mary, your heart shall be filled with joy.

Then yet a warning: not all messages are from heaven. The angel of destruction likes nothing more than to spread confusion among God’s people, so that even the righteous become confused.

The blessing of my Master rests on you and all the good you still shall do.”

Then St. Raphael announced what the assignment is for the holder of St. Peter’s Chair, already referred to in the message of 15 August 1985.

St. Raphael also asked all who are faithful to the Church of Jesus Christ, who is Master, to pray much for the holder of St, Peter’s Chair. He shall have to suffer much to fulfill his mission. We should also know that we stand on the edge of the valley of tears. Much trust, faith and prayer will be asked from us. We shall fasten our attention upon Jesus Christ and not go into discussions, and watch out for presentations from outside. Every person will get a warning concerning his inner relationship with God. Pray much in the family circle.

Then I was asked anew by the angel Raphael to go with him. The next moment we were in the garden behind the house. He pointed to a place beneath the birch tree and said: “Here you shall place the cross of my Master. He died for all people on the cross” Some questions came up in me. There was no need to voice them. The questions were the following: “ A cross? Must that be immediately?” “No” said Raphael. “The time shall come that you need this cross and you will know its time through an inner inspiration. Do not worry about this, all will come well. All who visit this place and sincerely adore the five Holy Wounds of my Master shall, when they are physically or spiritually sick, find healing in the Name of Jesus Christ or receive inner strength to carry their burden. Also, there is an indulgence of 100 days connected to this. The measurements of the cross must be for the crossbeam 1,5 meter and this will decide the height. Under the cross must be an image of the disciple John and the Blessed Virgin to make clear to people how much his mother suffered.” In conjunction with this St. Raphael said: “Woman, behold your son, and, son, behold your Mother. This place must be protected from the weather (presumably roofed in).”

Again we went back to the bedroom. There he said: “Put everything in writing and consult with the anointed who leads you, how to make this writing readable by the people. The messages for the holder of St. Peter’s Chair are only for you and yours and for the anointed who leads you.” Next St. Raphael asked expressively to pray much because the era is coming to an end. The anointed, who stands close to your community has heard an inner voice, indicating to him that the image which stands in a good place in your community, shall be blessed because it has been in the marketplace.” St. Raphael said further: “That all who are of the female gender shall dress as woman and behave as such. The pilgrimage is good but you shall not force people to go along. Even though the number is small, the goal is reached. The blessing rests on this house and this household. Next Sunday, September 29, will be a joyful feast for the angels in heaven (feast of the Holy Archangels Michael, Gabriel and Raphael). The time span whereupon you can expect me again, shall be after the time that the righteous ones have been counted.”

I stayed behind alone, sitting on the edge of my bed. For about 15 minutes I remained thinking, to ensure I would not forget anything. At about 5:30 I went back to bed.

The seer visits Medjugorje.

In April 1986 I, Wim Holtschlag, was in Medjugorje, in what was previously Yugoslavia.

On 9 April I attended there a Holy Mass, which was celebrated by Father Iviza. From the consecration to the distribution of communion I saw the angel Raphael stand on the right side of the priest at the altar.

Raphael asked me to give the following message to the children-seers: “This place is good and what happens here is also good.”

Consecration of the cross of grace and the chapel.

It was the big day, Friday 15 August 1986, the feast day of the Ascension of Mary. At 3 PM the festive looking chapel was consecrated.

All friends and acquaintances of the family of the seer were invited. 200 people and a number of priests from The Netherlands and Germany were present. The sermon, given during the ceremonies is here included. After the blessing of the cross, in the garden of the seer, all went to a monastery to participate in the Holy Mass. With the pleasure of a cup of coffee were the festivities ended.

Sermon during the blessing of the cross grouping by Father Spauwen S.J. on 15 August 1986.

We are here together by the blessing of this cross.

This did not happen in a normal way, but in an abnormal way. It happened at the request of an angel, we do not know why. Heaven has its secrets, but these secrets must be revealed sooner or later.

Why this has happened, we shall await. In any case there was a request to set up a cross: of that, more things later.

We can also say: it is a special cross, because it turned out much nicer than I could have ever thought. Maybe you think so too. It is beautifully protected. Let us hope that this cross, which is now officially being blessed, is also a real cross for us, because Christ has raised it to let His redeeming grace flood the world. Let us hope that streams of redemptive grace shall come down and flow upon us all.

Amongst all the images of the saints, the Holy Cross takes the most important place, because it is the symbol of our redemption, of our salvation, of our sanctification. For Christians there is no dearer representation of the suffering of Christ. His dying on the cross became the victory over death and at the same time overcame the result of sin, which is the cause of suffering and death.

The Holy Cross is also, like the Holy Father and the church teach us, a sign of the second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, who, after dying on the cross has risen from the death and who will make us arise, and who shall return in glory. The image of the cross is not only venerated on Good Friday, but is presented to the faithful throughout the whole year. We could say, throughout the whole of life.

By our baptism we are marked with the cross and by dying, the leaving of this life and going to the next life, we are again marked by the Holy Cross, the trophy of our Lord Jesus Christ.

The cross is also placed in the homes of all those who belong to Christ and not only in the homes, but often and rightly so, in all the rooms of a Christian home. Christians rightfully place this cross with attention to circumstances of time and location. Let us place it in our own homes, but also in public locations. Wherever it is possible, make it visible for all people, where it is not; make it visible for groups of people, so that it may be revered like this cross.

In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hung on the cross for us, be with you all.

The Cross is the sign of our Christian life. You came with many cars and all those cars carry a sign, countries also have a sign and that is usually their flag. Earlier there were certain ideals and standards and the cross is our standard. Originally it was seen as a mark of shame. It was a pillory of shame, but through our Lord Jesus Christ this became a sign of victory.

The cross was a sign of suffering without equal: but through Jesus Christ it too became a sign of victory without equal. Just as the crown of thorns became a king’s crown to the victor: our Lord Jesus Christ.

The cross holds a point of crossing from top to bottom and from left to right. It is the cut-off point between heaven and hell and must encompass all peoples. The cross is thus, for them who venerate Christ the crucified, acknowledge Him and call on Him, a sign of victory. They shall rise with Christ to heaven, to the Father in heaven. But therefore, the cross is also the sign of victory for the angels. Because when God revealed to them that the second person of the Holy Trinity would take on the nature of man, many of the angels refused to worship God, who humbled himself through uniting himself with mankind. The other angels have said: “All what you do is good and we acknowledge all what you did and will do in the future.”

Christ, the Son of God, died on the cross. That is why the straight beam points up and shows everyone who recognizes Christ, is taken with Him on high. But in the depth of the cross it also goes to the hard bottom. Everyone who will not recognize Christ does not go to heaven but is lost, because of the cross.

Brothers and sisters in Christ; because of all this the cross became a great mystery for us. It is precisely the angels who have a tremendous respect for Christ because he died on the cross for us people. Through that, the angels have learned what mercy is. What is more, the cross is something else for us. Each person is marked with some cross, smaller or larger. But the one who accepts the cross together with Christ shall also receive and partake in the glory of Christ. It is the strongest weapon against evil, against the devil and his cohorts.

The cross is a strong magnet for all good people, who dedicate themselves to Christ. We shall now bless this cross and beg for the grace of Christ for us all.

Brothers and sisters, we bring faith and honour to the eternal ordinance of God, now that we are solemnly going to bless this cross. As we look up to the cross we shall think, that on the cross the sign of love was completed, the love whereby Christ loved his Church. By the greeting of the cross we shall remember, that Christ brings the different peoples of God, through the cross, to oneness, by removing all division from them.

By the veneration of the cross we shall remember that we are disciples of Jesus and dare to show this openly. Let us therefore selflessly follow Him by daily picking up and accepting our little cross.

Let us strive to thoughtfully participate in this ceremony, so that the secret of the cross becomes clearer to us, and so literally experience its power.

 Let us pray:

God, your Son reconciled the human race with you, when hanging on the wood of the cross, He left this world and returned to you. We pray to you, see your servants who erected this sign of redemption. Give that they, through the power thereof, are strengthened to daily pick up their cross, go the way of the gospel and through that reach their heavenly goal.

And brothers and sisters let us listen to the words of St. Paul in his letter to the Philippians. “Who, though he was in the form of God, did not regard equality with God something to be grasped. Rather, he emptied himself, taking the form of a slave, coming in human likeness; and found human in appearance, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to death, even death on a cross. Because of this, God greatly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every other name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bend, of those in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

We pray with trust to our saviour Jesus Christ, who set us free through the cross, and say: “Lord save us through your cross.”

Christ, You have stripped yourself of your power and taken human form, the form of a slave. Give that all members of your church humbly follow you. Let us pray: “Lord save us through your cross.” You humbled yourself by being obedient unto death, the death on a cross. Grant your servants the virtue of obedience and patience: “Lord save us through your cross.”

Christ, You were lifted high by God and have been given the Name above all other names. Let your faithful always recognize you and your Name and persevere in your service. Let us pray: “Lord save us through your cross.”

Christ, in your name every knee shall bow in heaven, on earth and under the earth. Pull all to your heart so that they will venerate you and faithfully adore you. Let us pray: “Lord save us through your cross.”

Christ, while we confess you as Lord to the glory of God the Father: Take our brothers and sisters who have died, up into your kingdom of eternal glory. Let us pray: “Lord save us through your cross.”

Lord, beneath the cross you gave your mother Mary, to us as Mother. Let us ever be thankful for this unsurpassed treasure of grace. Let us pray: “Lord save us through your cross.”

United with the prayer, which St. Raphael uttered here in Haaksbergen we pray:

“Lord Jesus Christ, I adore your five Holy Wounds and put my life in your service. I want to pray and meditate on these five Our Fathers. Grant me, therefore, the strength to fulfill this promise in order to mitigate the suffering you bore to wipe away our sins”.

5x Our Father and 5x Glory be to the Father…

 In closing was prayed:

God, to free humanity it was your will that your only begotten Son should undergo the torture of the cross. We pray to you, let us, who here on earth have learned of this mystery and deliverance, once enjoy the benefits in heaven. Through Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives with you, in union with the Holy Spirit, God forever and ever. Amen.

May almighty God bless you, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Publicizing of an important message.

The Holy Father Pope John Paul II did proclaim a Marian year at the high feast of Holy Mary, Mother of God on 1 January 1987. To begin with Pentecost, June 7 1987 till 15 August 1988, Feast of the Ascension of Mary.

The Holy Archangel Raphael gave the following message in the night of 25-26 September 1985 intended for the Holy Father. “The holder of St. Peter’s Chair, John Paul II, shall proclaim a year, beginning with the liturgical year, dedicated to the Mother of my Master, the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Woman clothed with the sun, the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars, better known as Woman of all people.”

This message was handed personally to the Holy Father by a Dutch bishop.

On 18 January 1987 the seer got permission from his spiritual director to make public to the world, the message intended for the Holy Father, because the Holy Father followed through on the instruction of St. Raphael and proclaimed the Marian year.

First spoken word from the

Holy Archangel Raphael

On Sunday 1 June 1986 (Feast of the Body and Blood of Christ), during the exposition of the Blessed Sacrament and praying of the rosary, I heard the voice of St. Archangel Raphael coming from the direction of his statue.

Raphael said: “The cross shall be placed before the grain is harvested.”

Second spoken word from the

Holy Archangel Raphael

During the Twentse (regional) pilgrimage to Medjugorje from 17 May to and including 23 October 1987, I was present locally in the St. Jacobs church on the evening of 21 October during the three hour long prayers. By the meditation: “Jesus is crowned with thorns” I saw three light flashes. For many this is the sign that Mary arrives. Suddenly I had the strong urge to look up and back, to which I paid heed.

I saw that from the choir loft a person, standing on a cloud, floated over all people to the front of the church. Above the sanctuary this person, totally dressed in white, turned around and I saw a young woman with dark, half long hair and a white see-through shawl, comparable with tulle. This figure, which I presumed to be the Blessed Virgin, opened both hands out of which came rays of all colours. These rays descended upon the priests, about eighty, gathered in the sanctuary, and after that over all those present in the church. At that moment I saw to the right behind Mary, St. Raphael, who was also dressed in white. Both looked very happy and smiled.

Slowly the apparition diminished and when I came to myself the people were already singing the litany of Mary, which that evening was sung after the second rosary.

The following night I had trouble falling asleep. The happenings in the church did not let go of me. At about two o’clock I went outside. Coming in the back garden I noticed the presence of St. Raphael. For me, a sign that he is near is a sultry warm wind. However I did not see him. At the end of the garden, which was about ten meters long, I clearly heard the voice of St. Raphael. He greeted me by saying: “In the Name of my Master I bring blessings and peace to you and yours, and the following message. Twelve men shall be sent to you with a special mandate. Together, these form the twelve brothers of the cross. You shall recognise these men by their utterance concerning my Lord and Master, the Lord Jesus Christ or his dearly beloved mother, the Blessed Virgin Mary. At the same time an associated priest shall be added to these twelve. The priest added to the cross brothers shall receive a heavenly message himself, in which to him personally his instructions will be revealed.

Thereupon I asked him, how it would go further with the priest already leading me. St. Raphael answered to this that he will answer this question at the end of this message. Then he went on: “The one of the twelve of whom you are not sure, you shall encourage to hold a nine day novena. Then you shall be certain that this person is chosen. All these twelve shall happily and of their own free will accept their mandate, which they will humbly fulfill. These twelve shall shine in prayer and example. In everyday life, they shall daily put their own prayer life first. All twelve shall form a prayer group, which shall consist of a minimum of twenty people. All twelve shall make a vow consisting of faithfulness to the cross and bringing honour to the five Holy Wounds of my Lord and Master. They shall accept the sacrament of penance and often participate in the Holy Eucharist wherein they receive Jesus Christ in their heart. All twelve shall wear the sign of the cross, whose design can be of your own choice. It is expected of the twelve that they pray the rosary daily, whereby they shall call on the help of the Blessed Virgin, the mother of my Lord and Master. On the first Sunday of every month, all twelve shall be brought together under the cross because this Sunday is consecrated to the sacred heart of my Master. To end, each of the twelve shall make the vow of faithfulness to the cross, personally, in front of the priest added to the group.”

Then the Holy Angel Raphael added: “Coming back to your earlier question concerning the priest who is at the moment your advisor: do not give him these messages because he did not answer to the request which was given from heaven.” Thereupon I asked the angel Raphael: “What shall happen with this priest?” Raphael answered: “Have no worries; Jesus is merciful.”

He went on: “The priest who shall be added to the group of twelve, shall devote himself with love to the cross and to the messages which have been given there. By his love you will recognise this priest. Through this priest all your worries will disappear.”

St. Raphael went on: “A sign shall precede the warning in an earlier given message. All twelve brothers of the cross shall hear a voice familiar to them, which tells them: “Come immediately to the cross!” Following that, the powers of the earth shall be shaken three times. When it is no longer possible to come to the cross, they can go to the nearest church; they will be safe by the tabernacle. After a lapse of three days after these signs, the warning will be there.”

Then he said: “Go ahead with your assignment; namely to bring people to the cross and to bring them back to the loving heart of Jesus. You shall not worry yourself; all will be well.”

Third spoken word from the

Holy Archangel Raphael

During the Holy Mass on Sunday evening 16 October 1988, offered by the Reverent Father Drs. L. M. van der Bol, I heard after the consecration, the voice of the Holy Angel Raphael, coming from the direction of his image, which stands at the right side of the altar. The Angel Raphael said: “Uphold the message last given.”

Fourth spoken word from the

Holy Archangel Raphael

In the night of 13 to 14 May 1989 I received the following message from the Holy Angel Raphael. He said: “Coming in the Name of Jesus Christ and bringing blessings to this house and to the priest who stays here, I bring the following message.

It is the urgent wish of heaven that the mother of Jesus Christ and the mother of the Church is also called upon under the following titles: Queen of the universe and Queen, Our Lady of all peoples. These two titles shall be added to her litany. This wish you will make known in written word to the Apostle of the church John Paul II.

FIRST VISION

On 25 June 1989 during my prayer in the early morning I felt a warm wind. This is for me a sign that the Holy Angel Raphael is present. When I looked up, I saw that he was indeed present at the location where his image stands. He laughed at me, but at the same time he turned his face to the cross. All was brightly lit around the cross. Left of the cross I saw a woman’s hand and right of the cross I saw a man’s hand. In both hands were a red meaty hearts present. Both hands joined together before the cross. Then the hands moved away and the hearts moved partly together. The heart out of the woman’s hand moves slightly behind the heart out of the man’s hand. After that a halo of rays of golden colour, goes out from the hearts and it seems that both hearts are thereby supported.

Then I look to the left and see everything even brighter and clearer. Through the heart I see a large hall. In this hall I see the Holy Father encircled by five bishops (anyway, they were dressed in black and their clothes were edged with purple). Two bishops stand to his right side and three to his left. The Holy Father laughs friendly and nods to me. I considered this as a greeting and greeted him back in the same manner. Thereupon the Holy Father turns himself partly and goes into conversation with the centre bishop (one of the three). This one bends himself slightly forward to better hear the words of the Holy Father. During this conversation the bishop nods in agreement with the Holy Father. After that the bishop turns himself completely so that I only see his back. Next the bishop starts a conversation with one or more persons but I cannot fully observe this. A picture of about thirty by forty centimetres appears by this bishop. In the frame I see a rose-red shine. Relating to this picture coming closer I see therein the upper body and head of a priest. Only the surroundings of his face, black hair, black clothing and priestly collar can be seen. There is no face present. The picture keeps coming closer to the place were the two hearts are. Slowly the hearts disappear and the priest steps completely out of the picture. He walks toward me, holds out his right hand to me, which I take with my left hand. Next he takes me precisely to the cross. Then everything disappears and I am alone again. Astonished I sit down for a few minutes to think about all this. I continue my prayer and pray hard for clarification.

The next morning, 26 June 1989, I see the picture again during the same prayer (namely, the seven Our Fathers of St. Brigitte). This time there is only a frame and inside a white space.

Fifth spoken word from the

Holy Archangel Raphael

During the morning prayers on 12 of April 1991 I heard again the voice of the Holy Angel Raphael. He spoke to me as follows: “Coming in the Name of Jesus Christ, my Lord and Master, blessing you and this place and bringing the following message.

Owing to the fact that mankind removes itself still further from God and even turns away from God altogether, it condemns itself and calls upon itself the horror of destruction.

Before long this time will come to an end. But you do not have to worry yourself over these things. You and yours, and all who stay true to my Lord and Master, shall be protected and guided in a special way.

Urge the people therefore to more prayer. Pray especially for the keeper of St. Peter’s Chair because he has to suffer much.

Angelorum Dominus.”

Sixth spoken word from the

Holy Archangel Raphael

Shortly after the dying of an acquaintance on 20 March 1991, I asked the Holy Angel Raphael during the morning prayers, where his soul remained and if I could do something for him. The answer from the Holy Angel Raphael was as follows: “The spirit of the departed, who is presently on your mind, walks in darkness and this darkness will be forever, because his dying was not according to Gods holy will.”

Seventh spoken word from the

Holy Archangel Raphael

During the morning prayers on 21 July 1991 (the feast of the Good Shepherd) I felt the familiar warm wind around me and heard the voice of the Holy Angel Raphael. He said: “Coming in the Name of Jesus Christ, my Lord and Master, blessing this place and bringing the following message.

My Lord and Master, Jesus Christ, wishes to speak with you in the near future.

The two shepherds in your close vicinity must be removed from your thoughts and all contact with them must be broken. The first because he just acts as of, and the second, because he does not do what he is called for.

The shepherd, who shall be present this day can be totally confided in. 

In humility I ask the Holy Angel Raphael for a clear sign before the Master comes. He answers hereto: “You shall spiritually prepare yourself for this meeting.

Angelorum Dominus.”

Eighth spoken word from the

Holy Archangel Raphael

On 10 November 1991, during the morning prayers I felt again the familiar warm wind around me. The statue of the Holy Angel Raphael was alight and I heard his voice that said to me: “Coming in the Name of Jesus Christ and bringing you the following message.

Shortly you shall observe my Master because you are properly prepared.”

SECOND VISION

The day after, 11 November 1991, I felt the same warm wind around me. Then appeared from the direction of his statue the Holy Angel Raphael. His eyes are focused on the cross. By the head of the body appears a sort of mist (to describe as a cloud), wherein I see Christ on the cross who comes to life and comes down from the cross. All became lighter and clearer. Christ is dressed in a garb white as snow that looks like an alb. He laughs friendly to me but does not speak. In his right hand he holds a roll of paper, half unrolled. (Because of the yellow colour I think of parchment). On this paper are strange signs, in two rows beside each other. I can neither read nor recognise it. The left row is shorter than the right row. Christ holds the roll before me and because I think that he gives it to me, I try to receive it, after which the apparition becomes blurred and disappears.

Ninth spoken word from the

Holy Archangel Raphael

During the morning prayers on Sunday 1 March 1992, the Holy Angel Raphael speaks again to me. He calls in the Name of his Master on all peoples of all nations to clear the way and remove all obstacles, to remove all hills and fill all valleys, and so prepare for the coming of his Master. Further he says: “Place yourself and yours and all those you know under the protection of the mother of the Lord, the Holy Virgin Mary, because this is the last urgent call of Heaven. Pray the rosary, do penance and fast, to that way clear the road for yourself and others. Very soon you will receive another message.”

Tenth spoken word from the

Holy Archangel Raphael

During the morning prayers on Tuesday 3 March 1992, I felt a warm wind around me and out of the statue of the Holy Angel Raphael shone a light. I heard the voice of the Holy Angel Raphael who said to me: “Coming in the Name of Jesus Christ, my Lord and Master, to give you the following message.

To the twelve men, chosen by my Master and Lord Jesus Christ: you all have accepted the assignment given to you by my Master. My master urgently wishes that all fulfill this task. Those who paid heed to the wish of my Master may make their vow of faithfulness and from that day carry with them the sign of their faith. This sign shall give them special protection against all dangers. The day chosen by my Master, the Lord Jesus Christ, at which these faithful may pledge their vow, is the day of the institution of the Holy Eucharist (Holy Thursday). If so wanted, they can together with you and the priest who is added to the twelve, prepare themselves through penance, fasting and prayer for this special day.

Together with the supporting priest, let a strong call go out to those who have not fulfilled their assignment, and who distanced themselves from you.

Let the following message go out to them: In the Name of my Master, the Lord Jesus Christ, fulfill the heavenly task given to you, and doing so, participate in the fulfillment of God’s plan here on earth. Come to the cross and no longer let yourselves be influenced through worldly or satanic suggestions. The foe of my Master likes nothing better than to sow confusion and so drive the faithful apart. However, if you decide not to listen to this plea, the all the graces connected to this assignment shall be removed from you and another shall take your place. You get nine days grace period.

You shall receive a message yet at a later time for the associated priest.

Further, all the messages which you received, may be put in writing and may be published, except those which are intended for the holder of St. Peter’s Chair. Tell yours not to fear. They stand under the special direction of God, especially your life companion, who in the future is freed from all satanic attacks.

Angelorum Dominus.”

A WORD BECOMES REALITY

On Holy Thursday, 16 April 1992, six brothers of the cross, proclaimed the following vow. Six others had removed themselves.

 I … PROMISE ON THE DAY OF THE INSTITUTION OF THE HOLY EUCHARIST TO PLACE MY LIFE IN THE SERVICE OF JESUS CHRIST, MY LORD AND MASTER, IN HONOUR OF THE FIVE HOLY WOUNDS, AND TO LEAD PEOPLE BACK TO THE CROSS.

ALSO, I PROMISE TO RECEIVE THE HOLY SACRAMENTS OFTEN AND TO PRAY THE HOLY ROSARY DAILY TO CALL ON THE HELP OF THE MOTHER OF GOD.

AND CLOSING, I PROMISE TO STAY FAITHFUL TO ALL THE MESSAGES GIVEN BY THE HOLY ARCHANGEL RAPHAEL.

Than follows the question:

“DID YOU COME HERE OF YOUR OWN FREE WILL TO MAKE THIS VOW?”

After a confirming answer the cross was handed over with the words:

“ACCEPT AND WEAR THIS CROSS AS A TOKEN OF YOUR BEING CHOSEN.”

Eleventh spoken word   from the

Holy Archangel Raphael

During the morning prayers on Tuesday 26 May 1992 the Holy Raphael spoke me as follows:

Coming in the Name of my Lord and Master, Jesus Christ, bringing you the following message.

A new sign shall appear on the heavens; a Woman, clothed with the son, and the moon under Her feet and a crown of twelve stars on Her head.

She shall crush the head of Satan and drive him back to the place were he belongs, the eternal fire, where darkness reigns. Therefore, urge yours, and all who are true to My Lord and Master to place themselves under the protection of the Holy Virgin Mary, the Mother of my Lord and Master.

Soon the holder of St Peters Chair, John Paul II shall announce the task given tot him concerning the forty day fast, so that all who are true to my Master and steadfast in their faith can receive the seal of the living God.

You do not have to send this message to Rome, because the angels of God shall inform the Head of the Church of Jesus Christ personally when these things shall begin. All these things shall take place in the Name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Till soon, when you will receive a message for all the God anointed.

Angelorum Dominus”

Twelfth spoken word (A) from the

Holy Archangel Raphael

During the morning prayers on Sunday 12 July 1992, I again received a message from the Holy Angel Raphael. He spoke to me as follows:

"Coming in the Name of Jesus Christ my Lord and Master, bringing you the following message.

This message is intended for all whom my Master has called to lead and guide his church, to bring his children into the true fold, his beloved Holy Church, over which he appointed a supreme shepherd.

His beloved son John Paul II shall pass on the following message to all shepherds and god-anointed of God’s Holy Church on earth: they shall reflect upon the assignment and the calling given them by my Master and to urge the veneration of the mother of the Master, called: Queen of the Universe” and “Queen, Our Lady of All Peoples”, because so is she appointed by my Master under the cross.

This assignment you shall personally give to the supreme shepherd of the Church of my Master, the Lord Jesus Christ.

Angelorum Dominus.

Until tomorrow, when you will receive a new message.”

Twelfth spoken word (B) from the

Holy Archangel Raphael

During the morning prayers on 13 July 1992 the Holy Angel Raphael again spoke to me. He gave me the following message: "Coming in the Name of Jesus Christ my Lord and Master to bring you the following message.

To all who are called to administer the sacraments, given by my Master, and to all who committed themselves through vows to the Holiest Heart of my Master and to the Holy Immaculate Heart of the mother of my Master, the Blessed Virgin Mary, for the God-anointed who faithfully fulfill the assignment given by my Master: great shall be your reward in heaven. My Master, the Lord Jesus Christ blesses you all.

Then, they who have turned away from the Holy Church of my Master, and who consort themselves with pleasures such as drink, possessions, harlotry and proclamation of false teachings, turn yourselves around and come back to the one true sheepfold of the Holy Church, because you are responsible for all the children of my Master, entrusted to you. Therefore, turn around; let your pride change into submission and humility. Share your gathered earthly possessions. “Give to the poorest of the poor, and you have given this onto me,” so says my Master. Bring all the sheep entrusted to you; back to the way of my Master by proclaiming to them the true teachings of my Master and no longer leading them to perdition. Satan desires nothing more than to bring harm to the Holy Church and her flock. You, who are anxious or afraid, realise that my Master, the Lord Jesus Christ, can remove all storms from your life, so also your fear. Trust in Him.

Then, the following message for those who have bound themselves through a vow to my Master or his Mother. All those who place these vows aside, my Master calls upon to convert, to return to the rules of their respective founders. Rules of poverty, purity, love for neighbour, obedience, prayer, works of charity and humility. Do not place yourself above the other, but be the lowest, then you shall become the greater. Hurry to bring these things in order, because soon this time will come to an end. Make this message known to all.

Angelorum Dominus”

Thirteenth spoken word from the

Holy Archangel Raphael

On 3 August 1992 during the morning prayers I received the following message from the Holy Angel Raphael. The Holy Raphael spoke:

"Coming in the Name of my Lord and Master Jesus Christ, to bring you the following message destined for all the youth of the earth.

I bring a special blessing from my Lord and Master, the Lord Jesus Christ. His love goes out to them and all who are true to Him. He calls all youth to unite into a large army at the helm my Master, the Lord Jesus Christ and his beloved mother, the Blessed Virgin Mary, who together will lead them to victory.

Therefore, everyone who joins this army shall carry with them a medallion, with on one side hereof the image of my Lord and Master, dressed as King, with in his left hand the sceptre and in the other hand the staff with the cross. Thereby the following writing: “Christus Vincit, Christus regnat, Christus imperat.” On the other side thereof must be the image of the mother of my Master, with on her arm my Master, depicted as a child. In the hand of my Master is the globe with above that the cross and the hand of the Blessed Virgin. Hereby the three titles that belong to her: “Queen of Peace, Queen of the Universe and Queen, Our Lady of All Peoples.”

This is your assignment: let these shields or medallions be made according to the description given above. After that these shields or medals must be blessed by a God-anointed. Spread them over all the earth. Of everyone who joins this army, the following is expected: with conviction of faith, pray the rosary every day and carry this rosary always with you. Attached to this rosary shall be the above described shield or medallion, so that everyone knows that my Master, the Lord Jesus Christ and his mother, the Blessed Virgin Mary stand behind them and protect them.

All who wish, can join this army under the same conditions, so that they can form a mighty army together with the youth, and so call a halt to the needless slaughter of the unborn children in the mother’s womb. They shall avoid the places where sin is openly committed against purity, and also occasions were Satanic music   plays to please their ears, because in this way is the message spread of hatred and loveless behaviour. They shall divert their eyes from all immoral depictions of the human body. All of you, join, and so stop the evil in this world.

Place this message for affirmation before the supreme shepherd of the Church of my Lord and Master, Jesus Christ, so that he can give his blessing to this task. Urge also your near relatives to give their full support in fulfilling this task.

Pax Domini sit semper vobiscum.” 

 Forteenth spoken word from the

Holy Archangel Raphael

During the morning prayers on 2 February 1993 I felt a warm wind around me and heard the H Raphael say: “Coming in the Name of My Lord and Master Jesus Christ, bringing you the following message.

A special greeting and blessing goes out to you and yours and all that gather around this cross and in this place. Also especially to the youth who give their full ability to fulfill the assignment of my Master, and so assist in the completion of God’s Kingdom on earth.

That is why they, who have not yet made the vow of faithfulness, may do this on the day of the institution of the Blessed Sacrament; the Holy Eucharist. Let them prepare themselves for this day together with you and the appointed God-anointed.  The first may also renew their vow, and their close family my be present during this occasion.”

The Holy Raphael said further: “Because today is the feast of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the very beloved mother of my Master, the Lord Jesus Christ and it is her specific wish to, as speedily as possible, distribute the medals, respectively shields, as given in the previous message; make haste with the execution of this assignment so a halt be called on the works of the adversary of my Master, who wants to prevent this task from being fulfilled. When these medals are ready, they must first be brought back here to this place to be blessed by a God-anointed. After that they may be distributed. If a blessing of the supreme shepherd of the Holy Church of Jesus Christ will belatedly arrive, then add this to the mission.

Urge everyone to prepare themselves for the things that are yet to happen. Let them join themselves in full conviction to the as yet to be formed army, with my Master and his very beloved mother at the head. Let yourself not be disturbed by those who speak badly of you, or who slander you and yours. They condemn themselves. They who think themselves to be greater than others; they have already received their reward. Share of your riches with the poor and your reward shall be great.

Pax Domini sit semper vobiscum.”

Fifteenth spoken word from the

Holy Archangel Raphael

During the morning prayers on 29 July 1993 I felt a warm wind around me and heard the voice of the Holy Angel Raphael. He said: “Coming in the Name of my Master, the Lord Jesus Christ, bringing you the following message.

The close relative, out of whom you came forth, still has a heavy journey before him. Therefore, pray intensely for him and let many Holy Masses be offered up for the peace of his soul, until you get a sign that he has entered into the eternal light of my Master and Creator off all things.

The Holy Raphael says further: “The day chosen by you to complete the assignment given to you, concerning the cross brothers (15 August during the celebration of the seventh anniversary of the cross), is in full agreement with the wishes of my Lord and Master Jesus Christ and his much beloved mother, the Blessed Virgin Mary. On that day is she, with body and soul, taken up into the eternal light and shines there now as a brilliant star, as Queen of the Universe and Our Lady of All Peoples, Nations and Languages. Therefore, the place and time, chosen by you is good. A great sign shall accompany this day to convince everyone present that the blessing of my Master rests on this work.

The name of the medal shall be: MEDAL OF THE LEGION OF JESUS AND MARY. This, because my Lord and Master Jesus Christ and his much beloved mother, the Blessed Virgin Mary, stand at the head of this legion.”

Here the Holy Raphael stops and says that he shall speak further tomorrow.

Friday 30 July 1993

“Urge everyone to give to the fullest through praying the rosary and thereby contemplating and meditating on the suffering of my Master, receiving the sacrament of the Holy Eucharist often, to thus bring honour to the most Holy Heart of my Master.

A special blessing of my Master, the Lord Jesus Christ, comes over you and yours and those who stand close to you through all they already did and still shall do.

Say to the anointed of my Master whom you see these days: God’s angels shall accompany and protect him on his further path of life.

Say to the cross brothers that they perform the received assignment. The blessing of my Master rests on them.

Say to the, for this moment, associated anointed not to have fear. All comes well.

Pax Domini sit semper vobiscum”.

CONCERNING THE MEDALS

On 19 April 1993, Father Drs. L.M. van der Bol s.d.b. requested in writing to the nunciature to have an appointment with the nuncio. He wanted, together with Father P. Lie o.f.m. the spiritual director of the messenger, give clarification about what was said by the Holy Angel Raphael regarding the medals, and that way, via the nuncio receive permission to the distribution thereof.

On 16 July, Mgr. Dr. H. Lemaire got in contact with Father van der Bol via telephone. He excused himself that he still had not answered the letters and stated that the Holy See is always slow with recognizing apparitions, and that they await the findings of the local bishop.

Father van der Bol proposed to go ahead, make the medals, bless them and distribute them, with which the nuncio agreed. They also agreed that, when through these medals, healings or other miracles occurred, the nuncio would be informed hereof in writing.

On the medals came the following text in Latin: 

Sixteenth spoken word from the

Holy Archangel Raphael

During the morning prayers on 9 January 1994 the Holy Raphael said:

“Coming in the Name of Jesus Christ, My Lord and Master bringing you the following message.

Concerning the anointed who has gone, he now resides in the eternal light.”

About the condition of the soul of my father the H Raphael said: “The relative who is in your thoughts and of whom you came forth, he also shall soon enter the light of my Master. However, keep on praying.”

Seventeenth spoken word from the

Holy Archangel Raphael

During the morning prayers on 25 March 1994 I felt a warm wind around me and heard the voice of the Holy Angel Raphael, he said: “Coming in the Name of My Lord and Master Jesus Christ, bringing you the following message.

On the day of the great feast of the Immaculate Conception of the mother of my master, the Blessed Virgin Mary, is the relative from whom you came forth, taken up into the everlasting light and remains now in the vicinity of my Master.

For the twelve chosen the following message: reflect upon the vow made under the cross to my Master, the Lord Jesus Christ. Complete your assignment. For those who have not yet done this: make haste, because the time comes to an end. For them who deal in pride and earthly possessions, your time is also but short. For them who have sinned: return to the road of my Master, the Lord Jesus Christ, because he forgives all sins, and start anew. To all who are faithful: start a novena of the merciful love of my master, and this on his day of death. Join you all, because great things stand to happen. Do not be anxious or afraid, knowing that my Master, the Lord Jesus Christ and his dearly beloved mother, the Blessed Virgin Mary, protect you and yours so that nothing shall happen to them. Therefore, call on all again to share in the earthly possessions. Give to the poorest of the poor. Your reward shall be great. The blessings of the Most High come over you and yours.

Pax Domini sit semper vobiscum.”

Eighteenth spoken word from the

Holy Archangel Raphael

During the morning prayers on 18 April 1994 I felt a warm wind around me and heard the voice of the Holy Angel Raphael saying: “Coming in the Name of My Lord and Master, the Lord Jesus Christ, bringing you the following message.

Call all cross brothers who have made a vow to my Master, on the first Sunday of the month, which is dedicated to the mother of my master, the Blessed Virgin Mary, together renew their vow in the presence of the God-anointed who this day stays with you. Urge all to prepare themselves in prayer for this day. It would be good that all who make this vow, when it is necessary, receive the sacrament of penance. Let the choice be totally free.

For them who give no heed to this call, let my Master judge over them and they shall be replaced.

Lay this message for acceptance before the spiritually advising anointed.

The blessings of my lord and Master, the lord Jesus Christ, come over you and yours.

Domini sit semper vobiscum.”

Nineteenth spoken word from the

Holy Archangel Raphael

During the morning prayers on 1 July 1994 I felt a warm wind around me and heard the voice of the Holy Angel Raphael, he said: “Coming in the Name of My Lord and Master, the Lord Jesus Christ, bringing you the following message.

To all inhabitants of the earth my Master says: When the time is gone and the measure is full, the sun shall be darkened and the moon shall no longer give her light, the stars shall fall from the heavens and the powers of the earth shall be shaken. Then shall the mowers reap my wheat and the leftovers and chaff shall be burned.

Therefore again an urgent call to all, do penance and repent, return into the Father’s house, because there you are safe, under the protection of my Master and his dearly beloved mother, the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Then a word for the chosen men: their number shall be twelve. The last shall also join. Thereupon, the attending anointed shall also be added to the twelve. To them who already made their vow: that they shall keep their vow and not let themselves be affected by earthly care. Think first about God’s Kingdom and the rest comes by itself. Walk the road of my Master, the Lord Jesus Christ and of his dearly beloved mother, the Blessed Virgin Mary.

The one who has just been taken from your midst, pray for him, he has not yet reached his goal.

The day you chose is very good and brings joy in heaven. *

Keep doing the good work you and yours are doing. The blessing of my Master rests upon these works.

Say to the shepherd you met: God’s blessing rests upon him.

Pax Domini sit semper vobiscum.”

 * August 14^th shall be the eight anniversary of the blessing of the cross, remembered in a Holy Eucharistic feast.

Twentieth spoken word from the

Holy Archangel Raphael  

During the morning prayers on 1 November 1994 I felt a warm wind around me and heard the voice of the Holy Angel Raphael saying: “Coming in the Name of My Lord and Master Jesus Christ, bringing you the following message.

Call all to be true to the cross of my Lord and Master by preparing themselves spiritually for the great things that are to happen in the near future.

A great catastrophe shall befall mankind like there has never been as long as the world exists. That is why it is good that everyone receives the sacrament of penance about his or her whole life. That everyone places themselves under the protection of the loving heart of my Lord and Master, Jesus Christ and his dearly beloved mother the Immaculate Virgin Mary. Urge all to a reversal through penance, fasting, prayer and frequent partaking in the Holy Eucharist. All shall receive my Master with a pure heart because He is present with His Body and with His Blood. Respect for this sacrament is of the utmost importance.

Great signs shall be given to mankind on the sun, moon and stars. Thus speaks my Master, the Lord Jesus Christ. The enemy of my master shall try everything to seed unrest and confusion. But all of you, persevere in your faith in my Master and his dearly beloved mother, the Blessed Virgin Mary, because like the light goes from East to West, so shall the coming of my Master be, with great power and majesty, to complete his creation.

Therefore, do not be anxious or afraid; know that the creator of heaven and earth shall make everything good for all who stayed true to him. Know that all things described here must happen first; to that way clear the road for the new future.”

The Holy Archangel Raphael says further that he will be back the next day with more messages.

Twenty first spoken word from the

Holy Archangel Raphael

On 2 November 1994 during the morning prayers continued the Holy Archangel with the message as follows:

The day of today, that you commemorate*, there is joy in heaven over the many who enter into the light of my Master, the Lord Jesus Christ, like the God-anointed, the man from your community, the woman far from you, the mother, the mother who worried about her son, all loved ones of them who are called** and many, many others. These are, or will be taken up today into the light of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Therefore, keep prodding the people to pray for those who were taken from them. Where it concerns the supporting God-anointed; he is being heavily tested, but tell him: my Master, the Lord Jesus Christ, has great plans for him. That he stays courageous and not quit the work started. You can place this message before him and he must decide out of his own free will.

Where it concerns the second God-anointed, tell him to continue the good works regarding the mother of my Master, the Blessed Virgin Mary. Also, the nearness of the cross of my Master, the Lord Jesus Christ, is greeted with joy in heaven and through that are all punishments for the sins of his whole life removed. The blessing of my Master rest upon him in the Name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

The twelve chosen men, their number shall in the end be twelve, shall take on this task out of their own free will. In the end, the accompanying God-anointed shall then, as promised in previous messages, be added.

The blessing of my Master the Lord Jesus Christ, be with you and yours.

Pax Domini sit semper vobiscum.”

 * Feast day of All Souls             ** the twelve cross brothers

Twenty second spoken word from the

Holy Archangel Raphael

During the morning prayers on 7 April1995 I felt a warm wind around me and heard the voice of the Holy Angel Raphael saying: “Coming in the Name of My Lord and Master the Lord Jesus Christ, bringing you the following message.

The twelve chosen may make their vow at the feast of the appearance of the Holy Spirit. Therefore, urge them to prepare themselves for this day, with full agreement of my Master, the Lord Jesus Christ and his dearly beloved mother the Most Holy Virgin Mary. Also the accompanying God-anointed shall be added in the right time. They may, under the same conditions, join the brotherhood and all twelve may add the name of a saint to their own name. The joining to the brotherhood must be voluntary. It would also be good to re-read the given mandate to the twelve men.

The pilgrimage, which you made and which is still in your thoughts, gives much joy in heaven and especially to the mother of my Master, the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Do not let yourself be influenced by so called messages from heaven. The enemy of my Master only wants to sow confusion that way. Listen only to the messages of my Master, which come through me. It would be good to go nearer to the two anointed, with whom you recently talked. You can take them into your confidence.

Urge all to, with utmost reverence, handle the Body and Blood of my Master, the Lord Jesus Christ.

Again: call everyone to a turnaround and reflection. Before the great warning arrives, all shall receive the seal of the living God. These are those, who are willing to give their life for my Master, the Lord Jesus Christ and his dearly beloved mother, the Blessed Virgin Mary. That these share of their riches and regard all people as their brothers and sisters. Those shall lay their difficulties at the feet of my Master. He shall dissolve these in his love for them.

Continue the good work that you and yours do, knowing that the blessing of the Most High rests on it.

The place of the cross of my Master, the Lord Jesus Christ, is holy and with the intercession of the mother of my Master all will be heard.

Call upon all for prayer for the holder of St. Peter’s Chair, Pope John Paul II, because the cross he has to carry is heavy.

Pray also for the God-anointed who have drifted off the true road; that they may return to the true road and to the love of my Master, the Lord Jesus Christ.

The blessing of the Most high, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit be with you all.

Pax Domini sit semper vobiscum.

Twenty third spoken word from the

Holy Archangel Raphael

During the morning prayers on 18 April 1996 I felt a warm wind around me and heard the voice of the Holy Archangel Raphael saying: “Coming in the Name of My Lord and Master the Lord Jesus Christ, bringing you the following message.

This is a time of heavy trials and also of many disasters, wars and rumours of wars, of murder and robberies. This is also a time of falling away from faith and purity wherein also the church of my Lord and Master, the Lord Jesus Christ is attacked through which the holder of St. Peter’s Chair has to suffer much.

Therefore again, a very urgent call to all that are true to the Church of my Master and to his cross: do penance and pray the rosary, go often to the Holy Mass. That they receive the Body and Blood of my Master, the Lord Jesus Christ, often and with great reverence and of course with a pure heart, knowing that my Master is there in His full godliness.

Let those, who have gathered earthly riches, distribute the abundance to the poorest of the poor. That shall be a good deed in the eyes of my Master, the Lord Jesus Christ.
