Locutions Discernment

[marycchristian]

Is anyone familiar with this website “locutions.org” or “Locutions to the World”? I have tried unsuccessfully to post this question several times and don’t know if I am doing something wrong or it is not being accepted by CAF. I am curious to know if this wesite has any validity. Thank you.

I have never heard of this. The only time I have read anything about locutions is when I was studying particular Saints who experienced them or in texts about the Catholic Faith.

These are unapproved private revelations and as such are not to be discussed on these forums. Please see the forum rules. That’s probably why your posts have been being deleted by the moderators.

The forum rules say that unapproved private revelations should not be promoted and since the OP is not promoting it, I don’t think there is a problem with this question (but that’s just my opinion).

Having said that, my advice is to follow what is said on that websites homepage.

“Concerning Private Revelations: These are private revelations and there is no need to believe them. If these revelations help your faith, then receive them. If not, you can set them aside. We are called to believe only public revelations.”

From what I have read (and I did not read it all), there does not seem to be any contradiction to the faith on what is written there, and from what I found Monsignor Esseff seems to be in good standing with the church.

I’m assuming that your interest in this stems from the description of the conversion of Israel. The conversion of the Jews is mentioned in scripture and in the Catechism of the Catholic Church, so that much we know is true. How it happens, is another thing. If it happens as described in the locution then Praise the Lord. If it happens in another manner, then Praise the Lord. One thing we know from experience is that often we interpret true prophesies one way, but in reality they happen in another way that still fulfills the prophecy. In the locution it says this will happen “soon”. In the book of Revelation 2000 years ago Jesus said then that he was coming “soon”. Soon to an eternal God can be thousands of years.

If it strengthens your faith, that’s great. If it weakens your faith, or makes you doubt things, my suggestion would be to put it aside and don’t look back. We are called to believe only public revelation.

Saint Michael, the archangel, defend us in battle, be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil, may God rebuke him, we humbly pray. And do you, O’ Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God thrust into Hell Satan and all the other evil spirits who prowl about the world for the ruin of souls.

Amen.

Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.

Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.

Amen.
