對於在21 世紀受許多痛苦的修道者,our lady of success 曾預言這班人將有天堂很高的位置, 所以痛苦的神父可以退休, 但不應輕生
我反對越痛苦越有功勞。 只要做以下幾點已足夠。 不要貪食( 戒甜品、 零食。 少吃肉但多吃魚), 不要胡亂買過多必須品。 不要奢侈。 要神貧。 要跟福音。 要純潔, 要祈禱, 要領聖體,要告解, 要捐錢, 要看聖書。做到這些已是克苦犧牲愛主愛人。其他被動的痛苦, 就由天主給, 不要自找苦吃
For those religious and priests who suffer greatly in the 21st century, Our Lady of Success prophesied that they would have a very high place in Heaven. Therefore, a suffering priest can choose to retire in an early age, but should not commit suicide.
I oppose the idea that very great suffering equates to very great merit. Doing the following is sufficient: Do not be gluttonous (abstain from sweets and snacks; eat less meat but more fish), do not buy excessive necessities, do not be extravagant, be poor in spirit, follow the Gospel, be pure, pray a lot ,receive daily Communion, confess your sins regularly, regular donations, and read the Bible and holy books daily. Doing these things is already self-sacrifice, love for God and love for neighbor. Other pains will be granted by God for his purification or for the accumulation of his merits in heaven.

“Until the end of the world I will have holy daughters, heroic souls, in the obscure life of their convent, who, suffering persecutions and slanders from within their own community, will be much loved by God and His Mother.… Their lives of prayer, penance, and sacrifice will be extremely necessary in all times. After having spent their lives unknown to all, they will be called to heaven to occupy an exalted throne of glory.” She then revealed to Mother Mariana that hers would be a long and suffering life, but she bid her never lose courage.
Saying this, she placed the Infant Jesus in the humble virgin’s arms. Clasping Him tightly to her heart, Mother Mariana felt the strength to suffer all for His honor and glory and the good of souls.
