Through St. Paul’s letter to the Ephesians, Lourdes explains to the Missionaries of the Cross the mystery of God’s Will, which is to bring us all back to our Father through union with Christ crucified.
She reveals the treasure of the Simple Path as God’s love that draws us into the mystery of the Cross as revealed by St. Paul. As this mystery becomes our life, we experience transformation as the new Adams and new Eves.
The Return Back to Our Father
Given to the Missionaries of the Cross by Lourdes Pinto – 8/3/24
With Mary as one with the Holy Spirit
Through Christ crucified
Into the Father’s embrace
How do we know that it is God’s Will for us to become one with His Son in His sacrifice of love?
– Eucharistic prayer: “Through Him, and with Him, and in Him, O God, almighty father, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, all glory and honor is yours, for ever and ever.”
– Ephesians 1:5-10
He destined us for adoption as his children through Jesus Christ, according to the good pleasure of his will, 6 to the praise of his glorious grace that he freely bestowed on us in the Beloved. 7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace 8 that he lavished on us. With all wisdom and insight 9 he has made known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure that he set forth in Christ, 10 as a plan for the fullness of time, to gather up all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth.
– Eph. 2:14-16
For he is our peace, who has made us both one, and has broken down the dividing wall of hostility, by abolishing in his flesh the law of commandments and ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man in place of the two, so making peace, and might reconcile us both to God in one body through the cross.
I came upon the earth to draw you into union with the Most Holy Trinity through the Cross. No longer two but ONE (Ephes. 2:15–16). It is in this union that love exists. Only from this union of love with your Triune God can unity exist in My Body, The Church. It is through My life in the Eucharist that I become One with you, but it is only through your participation in My Eucharistic life that you become One in Me. This participation can only take place by entering the Cross of new life, My crucified love. 11/23/11
“Suffer with”
SUFFER ALL WITH ME, NO LONGER TWO BUT ONE IN MY SACRIFICE OF LOVE.
– Romans 8:17
and if children, then heirs, heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ—if, in fact, we suffer with him so that we may also be glorified with him.
– Ephesians 3:13
I pray therefore that you may not lose heart over my sufferings for you; they are your glory.
– Eph. 4:22-24
Put off the old man that belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful lusts, and be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and put on the new man created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.
My little one, full union with God can only come about through death. You must be willing to die so that I can resurrect in you. True union means that you no longer exist, but Christ lives in you just as the Father and I are one; you, too, become one with God. You, through My sacrifice of love for you, become the image and likeness of the Father through your perfect union in My death. Sin brought forth death, but now death to self brings forth new life.
The path I have led you through is the path to death and resurrection. The grain of wheat must die to produce new life (Jn 12:24). Only those that remain with Me through the path of dying to self can experience the joy of rising to new life. 7/16/23
– 2 Cor. 4:7
But we have this treasure in clay jars, so that it may be made clear that this extraordinary power belongs to God and does not come from us.
Message 8/22/23
All suffering lived united to Me, the perfect sacrificial Lamb, receives the power of God to bless the world with an abundance of grace.
– 2 Cor. 4:8-12
We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; 10 always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be made visible in our bodies. For while we live, we are always being given up to death for Jesus’ sake, so that the life of Jesus may be made visible in our mortal flesh. So death is at work in us, but life in you.
How is our death accomplished to become one with Christ?
– Eph. 4:15
Speaking the truth in love, we must grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ.
– Eph. 4:25
So then, putting away falsehood, let all of us speak the truth to our neighbors, for we are members of one another.
Speak the truth:
The human will must choose to act in trust and always speak the truth, for fear, since it is rooted in self, brings a soul to hide and remain silent in the face of lies and deception.5/8/23
Do not fear to speak the truth of the sin in the hearts of My people with courage and love and call them to repentance at My crucified feet. 7/15/11
You must always speak the truth of the darkness that Satan wants to keep hidden in the hearts of My sons and daughters. 12/28/12
Falsehood:
Throughout the Simple Path, you each have been growing in the virtue of simplicity as you have allowed the Holy Spirit to bring into the light of your consciences your many patterns of falsehood and attachments to the world, your flesh, and self. As you persevere through each stage of purification, you become simple, which means you become totally for God. You live solely to give Him glory. Self-love dies through a slow and laborious process, and the beauty of God's simplicity begins to radiate in the soul. 9/2/23
This is the fruit of allowing the Holy Spirit to unveil you of all the falsehood that covers your misery. When you live naked before your God in the truth of your misery, you are open to receive Love and become one with Love, lost in God. 8/2/22
Repentance – Jeremiah 15:19-20
If you repent, I will restore you. (19, NCB)
and I will make you to this people a fortified wall of bronze, they will fight against you, but they shall not prevail over you, for i am with you. (20)

Prepare the way for the Coming of the Lord/ Priests will Be Separated, Goats from the Sheep
God the Father: The time of the great and horrible devastation is drawing near. Prepare the way for My Son, My little ones; you must set out to preach with the fire of God. I am commissioning you as my prophets to prepare the way for the coming of the Lord. You must preach repentance as St. John the Baptist. But repentance through the power of the Cross of Jesus Christ. You must bring to light the darkness of sin hidden in the hearts of My priests. My fire will consume this darkness. My Missionaries of the Cross are my Son's Green Berets…
The Green Berets will face head-on the darkness that consumes the priesthood. They will fight with the sword of the Spirit. They will be clothed and possessed by the power of God because they are one with the Word of the Cross. You, my daughter, will raise up my Missionaries of the Cross along with the hidden force of the Mothers of the Cross. Do not be afraid to speak with the fire of the Holy Spirit you possess. The time is at hand when all my priests will be separated into two camps, the goats from the sheep. You are My prophets for these decisive times, called to build the bronze wall of my Son's army of holy priests around the Bride, the Church. During the great devastation, many will enter her safety through her holy ministers. The main responsibility of the Missionaries of the Cross is to bring to light the devastating darkness Satan continues to keep concealed. Bring to light the sin of My ministers and call them to repentance at the feet of Jesus crucified. They all must unite to the Word of the Cross so that they can possess the power of God to lead my Church to safety during the storm that is approaching.
