The Little Apostle Testimony
HOW THE MESSAGES BEGAN
The mission that Jesus entrusted to my heart began to take shape in 1999 when He sent His Most Holy Mother to me. At that time, I did not know her well, nor did I fully understand the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The Blessed Virgin appeared in my home, radiant in beauty, identifying herself as Our Lady of the Rosary. She told me she had been sent to teach me, above all, to pray the Rosary three times a day and to guide me in obedience to Her Son.
She smiled tenderly, like a loving mother, but at times, she wept, asking me to console Her Immaculate Heart. In one of Her visits, she asked if I would accept a mission and other tasks that Jesus desired for my life.
At that time, I was already accustomed to being guided by the Holy Spirit through visions and interior knowledge, learning wisdom from a gentle and loving Master. However, many things were still unclear. Although I could hear the Spirit of Truth, I had many questions. I sought peace and clarity regarding the truths that stirred within my soul. With so many religions, denominations, and ideologies, I longed to understand how my experiences fit into God's plan and what He desired of me.
I knew my calling was Christian because I had reached the conclusion that the Spirit of Truth was indeed the Holy Spirit. I prayed fervently for discernment, and in His mercy, Jesus sent His Mother to help me.
When the Blessed Virgin came, she brought indescribable peace into my heart. She confirmed that the experiences I was having were deeply rooted in the Catholic faith. This revelation was challenging, as I was not well-formed in my Catholic faith at that time. Moreover, friends from other denominations often questioned me, and the evil one used their words to sow confusion, suggesting that Marian apparitions were deceptive or even evil.
These doubts deeply unsettled me, forcing me to trust entirely in the true Director of the Soul—the Holy Spirit. As the Sanctifier, Counselor, Advocate, Teacher, and Comforter, the Holy Spirit works tirelessly to fulfill God's purposes in the world and in each soul.
Yet, when Our Lady came, Her motherly love dispelled all confusion and nourished my soul. She began to teach me how to be a loving mother to my children and a faithful wife, emphasizing the importance of unity in the family, regardless of the circumstances.
One day, she asked me if I would accept a mission from Heaven and dedicate my life to prayer for souls. At first, I struggled to understand Her request. As a mother of three children and working as a legal assistant in a law firm at the time, I knew it would be a great challenge.
My spiritual director suggested that if things became too difficult, I could stop praying immediately, since I was not a nun and had other responsibilities to manage.
Even so, I began this mission, and with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, I structured my day to include prayer:
6:00 AM – I pray for the holy souls in purgatory.
12:00 PM – I pray for priests.
3:00 PM – I am called to be with Our Lord Jesus so that I may write His messages in the form of dialogues. *
6:00 PM – I pray with Our Lady for poor sinners everywhere, as She herself instructed me.
I sought wisdom and prayed about how to make this possible. The Holy Spirit inspired me to approach my boss—a Jewish woman—and ask to adjust my lunch schedule so that I could align it with my time of prayer.
Although hesitant, I explained my need with sincerity and humility. To my surprise, she not only agreed to the change but our conversations about my faith touched her deeply, eventually leading her to convert to Catholicism.
Visions of Heaven, Purgatory, and Hell
Our Lady took me to Heaven and purgatory many times, and even allowed me to witness the horrors of hell, accompanied by my guardian angel.
Through her, I learned the immeasurable value of prayer, reparation, holiness, and preparing my heart to meet Her Son, Jesus.
Years later, Jesus Himself appeared to me as the Eucharistic Lord, hidden in the consecrated Host, revealing the depth of His sacrificial love.
For nine consecutive Thursdays of apparitions, Jesus revealed His afflicted Heart, asking us—the parishioners of Our Lady Help of Christians—to console His Sacred Heart and to build a Perpetual Adoration Chapel on the church grounds.
He also requested that I compile the words He shared in these apparitions into a book titled The Holy Visit and share it with His followers. These nine Thursdays were filled with grace and divine love.
To my surprise, while sharing this story with a friend, I realized that the name of the church—translated into Portuguese, my native language—was Nossa Senhora Auxiliadora dos Cristãos, linked to Our Lady, to whom my beloved mother, Lecia, dedicated her entire life.
My uncle, who was a priest, and my entire family also had deep devotion to her. In that moment, I saw the unfailing love of God intertwining everything—a beautiful sign of divine providence rather than mere coincidence.
The Cost of This Mission
Our Blessed Mother assured me that this mission would come with sacrifices. She foretold that my life would not be easy, that I would face trials and losses. Yet, she also promised great joy and eternal reward in the next life.
She emphasized total dependence on God for everything.
Despite the challenges, I accepted Her request. At times, the weight of this mission felt overwhelming. However, each time I remembered the promise I made to God, my burden becomes light, and I find peace in fulfilling His will.
Spiritual Warfare and Attacks
Satan, the enemy of souls, has attacked me and my family throughout this 30-year journey.
In 2008, he appeared to me, attempting to discourage and frustrate my mission. However, this encounter became a moment of grace, teaching me how to use the gift of discernment effectively.
My life is ordered by God, and I strive daily to fulfill His will, even amidst trials. As St. Paul reminds us:
“We are in the world, but we are not of the world.”
True joy and our only treasure are found in aligning our hearts with eternity.
The Birth of Heavens Ark
In 2016, Heavens Ark mission was born under Heaven’s guidance.
The saints have played a fundamental role in guiding this mission. They actively participate, being sent by Jesus to help me understand and fulfill this mission.
Each saint is assigned to a specific apostolate, offering their intercession and guidance.
May my testimony draw you closer to Jesus and inspire you to fulfill the desires of God, trusting in His providence and the intercession of Our Blessed Mother and the saints.
May God bless you!
