Father of All Mankind
Very recently, more and more Catholic faithful have reported messages from Our Heavenly Father, and no doubt some of them are authentic. He is now beginning to give messages Himself. And, in many of them, not only is He announcing His will for His children in these times, but He is intentionally trying to establish a personal relationship with us by revealing Himself to us in a way and with a tenderness that we have never understood.
|
Why is this happening now? It has been suggested that the promised, and now imminent, Triumph of the Immaculate Heart and the Era of Peace is in fact the answer to or the culmination of the prayer Jesus gave us, the “Our Father,” that He asked us to say and that we have said imploring the Father in His Son's name for 2000 years now: "Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven."
This means Our Lady is leading us, and in fact we are entering, into a time of grace in which it will be possible to know and have God to a capacity that man has never known before, and to give our fiat to a depth we have not known as well. The Consecration and Feast Day to God Our Father are means towards this, and prepare us for it. And even though the fulfillment of this is the Era of Peace, He desires us to begin receiving the benefits and reaping the first fruits of this now.
Australian born best selling Author Matthew Kelly who began to receive life-changing messages from God the Father while he was just a lad in college shows us the essential necessity of our inborn need for a close relationship with God our Father--
“If I would describe God the Father from how I know Him through the messages and through the prayer, I would say He’s very gentle. He’s very gentle, but very, very firm. And this gentleness and this firmness creates a trust. And this gentleness and this firmness and this trust creates a self-assurance in each of His children. This trust and self assurance are the two things that lead to happiness. Yet, the very things that we will kill in society-- trust, self-assurance-- are the most basic Christian principles. If someone cannot trust someone, if someone doesn’t understand the value of themselves, someone cannot be a Christian. yet, we are forever killing peoples trust. We are forever killing peoples self-assurance.” The Kingdom of Our Father by Dr. Thomas W. Petrisko

God The Father asks for a Feast Day...
" 1. I desire that one-day, or, at least a Sunday, be dedicated to honouring Me in a special way under the
title of Father of all Mankind... the first Sunday of August. " p 34
title of Father of all Mankind... the first Sunday of August. " p 34
When God our Father wanted to make it known that He would like a Feast Day as a means for us to come closer to Him, He chose to reveal it to one of His consecrated virgins and relevantly, only in this last century. The Father Speaks to His Children is a booklet recording the apparitions, visions and messages to Mother Eugenia an Italian nun, in which the Father tells us of the relationship He wants to have with us and corrects the idea of Him that most people have come to have of a severe judge. Her apparitions of the Father and revelations that ensued, beginning in 1932, were officially investigated beginning in 1934 and approved by her bishop ten years later. The Father first asked for a feast day in His honor through these messages.
Note:Casa Pater originally offered a free paperback copy of this book and they used to have distributors world wide but the U.S. provider who carried it, "Mary's' Call" which was the distributer listed for the U.S. i.e., could no longer be verified. "Dio e Padre" offers a manuscript online, as well as audio versions and an extensive amount of information (which they seemed to have obtained from Armata Bianca or Armata Bianca had an extended apostolate now known by "Dio e Padre"? because the info that was available on their site is now referred to "more info" at "Dio e Padre" link. Fr. D'Ascanio founded Armata Bianca and did much needed work to republish, reintroduce M. Eugenia's Church approved messages with God the Father. He met with her personally in the later years of her life and developed a close friendship with her and I would go so far to say that EVERYTHING we now have regarding her is ENTIRELY and exclusively due to Fr. D'Ascanio because she was persecuted to such extremities that she had lost nearly everything and lived in isolation and really, not an exaggeration to say, exile (read her biography). If it had not been for the favor of her local Bishop who arranged a small place for her to live the last years of her life??!. The booklet is actually not allowed to be sold at all and it is thanks to Fr. D'Ascanio (who republished and up until recently, circulated free of charge (let us all pray that these go back into reprint!) that we have a booklet at all!. Sadly, it appears that this booklet is presently out of print and electronic downloadable copies which can be printed is all that is available.
We have found English and Spanish copies online and so we are able to offer these links:

The Image
It is said that the location of the original painting that M. Eugenia had commissioned as the Father requested of her can not be confirmed; the only remnant being the poor quality image on the cover of the booklet (above) that contains the messages. The image at left is a colorized original. It was His desire that we have a tangible sign of His invisible presence to show that He is really present to us and that we would place this image in a prominent place in the home, turn to Him with all our concerns and that He grant us blessings through this Image. (p.35 #3). The Father's blessing is on the image.
|
Being that the original no longer exists, the intention of Our Father would be to grant the same blessings through any image that represents Him in this manner. Armata Bianca (the White Army) offers an Icon they had commissioned as well ( now found at Dio e Padre website).
|
This image is a newly completed representation (attempt of member of SDBV) of Our Father in our own homes, based on the few details He mentioned in the messages... see Father Speaks to His Children first paragraph of Mother's words and p 30-33 for more info. This Image is free to print for devotional purposes and not to be sold. He said to M. Eugenia that He was neither old nor young and without facial hair... and since Mother Eugenia did not specify Father had white hair, a mature masculine representation is shown with dark hair similar to the age and hair color that the image she had commissioned and Father D'Ascanio who consulted with her, did. Also, the background traditionally has been painted depicting God the Father in Heaven, on a kind of throne and surrounded by angels but in the messages it is stated that He left Heaven and His Glory and sat next to her after the angels disappeared... so the artist wanted an Image shown as He intended, in a home setting. The Sunflowers on the mantle ( 8 ) are the artists symbol of the Holy Octave as well as God Our Father referring to the Sun being a symbol of Him. In addition, the artist decided to leave the Father's right Hand up in a gesture of blessing as the original Image is shown and the Icon F. D'Ascanio had commissioned is shown at Armata Bianca, however, the scepter shown in the Icon was omitted as the Father stated "crown and Glory" and since it was not part of the original description the artist decided to leave it out. It was an image done intentionally for her own private use and when told by her spiritual director to share it, she did.
"I have already told you and now I say it again: I cannot give my beloved Son another time to prove My love for men! I am now coming among them in order to love them and to make them know this love, assuming their image, their poverty. Look, now I am putting aside My crown and all my Glory to take on the appearance of an ordinary man!".
Having assumed the appearance of an ordinary man by placing his crown and His glory at His Feet, He took the globe of the world and held it to His Heart, supporting it with His left Hand. He then sat next to me.
I (M. Eugenia) can say but a few words about His arrival and about the appearance he deigned to assume, and about His love! In my ignorance I do not have words to express what He revealed to me p.33 FSHC
Unfortunately, Our Father’s desire and interests were not carried out to the capacity that He desired. Even today, over 80 years later, this unprecedented apparition of His coming is scarcely known, even though it has carried approval status, and consequently the Father remains unknown and largely misunderstood by those who know Him. And since His concern is a grave one, as He stated in recent messages that too many of His children now are being lost to Him in the world’s present state and He is like a Father tormented with holy love to save each and every one as they are infinitely precious to Him, more so than the most loving and good mother with her only newborn.
So He returns and around the time M. Eugenia is passing into heaven (no doubt through her ardent prayer, offering and intercession) and Father reasserts his desires, establishing dialogue with am American woman, wife, mother and grandma; Barbara Rose Centilli which is all recorded in over 700 pages of the "Seeing with the Eyes of the Soul" Book which we will highlight next.

A few excellent sources for understanding how and why Consecration to God our Father fits into this time in history, the new times, the Kingdom of the Father and the Era of Peace. |
“We raise our voices and pray that the Love which is in the Father,” Pope John Paul II writes in Dives in Misericordia, “may once again be revealed at this stage of history…that it may be shown to be present in our modern world to be more powerful than evil, more powerful than sin and death.” Now, in our time, our Heavenly Father shows us the means to see this great Love of His that is so merciful, so wanting to be discovered – it is through His Heart of Life, His Divine Paternal Heart! It is the Heart He wants all to come to know, see, and love, for it is the Heart that created the universe out of Love. It is the Heart, that out of Love, created mankind, each and every soul. It is the Heart that lives and loves in every line of Scripture. Most of all, it is the Heart that has been waiting for so long to be discovered and to be loved, so it may then pour out upon mankind its greatest expression of Love. Today, with the world mired in a crisis of civilization, the time has come to turn to The Heart of the Father. We must first turn as individuals, Dr. Petrisko writes, and consecrate ourselves to our Father. Then, in a unified voice, we must request that the Church declare His Feast, the Feast of Life: The Solemnity of the Divine Paternal Heart – the Feast of the Father of All Mankind. It is the mystical answer, he argues, to ending the Culture of Death and to bringing a new Civilization of Life. Please, pick up this book and read it. Then order more books and give them to others! Every Catholic, every Christian needs to hear this heart warming, hope filled story of God’s Love for His children.
Dr. Petrisko's books are available at Amazon as well, including Kindle ebook versions for as little as $2.99!

A New Phase...
The Father renews His efforts.
Beginning in 1996 at the age of 44, Barbara Rose Centilli, an American woman, began to record conversations which she was experiencing with God our Father. In these messages He again picked up the topic of having a feast day in honor of the Father of All Mankind. And this time it included Consecration to Him as well. These are now inseparable. A Consecration Chaplet, requested by our Father is a big part of this formal Consecration and daily renewal. But these aren’t merely new rituals or burdens we “have” to do... they’re means so we can experience personally the consolations and treasures of being “in” relationship with our loving Father. He wants to not only be with us but dwell in us. He encourages us that we need not fear or feel like we need to be perfect first but rather that the consecration to Him is what perfects us.
“I want My children to come to Me in whatever manner they must. This is imperative in these times. There is no other way.” Seeing with the Eyes of the Soul, March 13, 1997
Why do we have the right and authority to know God, and claim to know, in this manner?
Note: A few words for those feeling uneasy about some of the things said here about God as Father. (if you did and got this far :) )
The works mentioned re: Consecration to Mary and God the Father in this website all have Forwards and or Introductions from prominent, accredited and remained in good standing throughout their service to Mother Church Bishops and or theologians that have the Church authority as is part of their priestly office to do so that we recommend reading first. That said, we, the flock of Christ, may confidently honor, celebrate and consecrate ourselves to God Our Father under the title of "the Father of All Mankind" and celebrate as a Feast Day in anticipation of the day when the Church officially establishes it so, and as it is free of doctrinal or moral error, many of us have chosen the 1st Sunday of August as God the Father expressed was His desire if we preferred a weekend but He also said that if we prefer a weekday, then "the seventh day of that same month". (p34. FSHC)
This understanding of God as Our Father originates in sacred scripture in the fact that Jesus called His Father, Our Father and commended us to pray this way in the Our Father prayer Mt 6:9. In Ephesians 4:6 "One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in us all." we know God the Father, Our Father, as the Father of All Mankind.
It would be a childish move to run away or avoid all private revelation for fear of being led astray, or from all Church authority or religion or anything for that matter (not to be applied to actual harmful persons or things. As real violence increases this may need to be said.) Because fear is, as St. John tell us, "Fear is not in charity: but perfect charity casteth out fear, because fear hath pain. And he that feareth, is not perfected in charity. " Jn 1John4-18
In addition;
With access to the internet, it is easy to find, sadly, that as the presence of authentic works of God has increased, necessarily in such dark times, from a merciful God, so too have those who want to crush it, no different than the Pharisees and power mongers in Jesus day who were afraid Jesus would usurp their control over the people (their source of revenue, influence, delusion of being "the Perfect ones" as they proclaimed as well as their power in the community), this is precisely why Jesus was poor, sought no honor, no self interest but came to Give Testimony to Truth, to the One True God being our good and tender Father as well as the sole Creator of all things and ultimately to give His own life and pay the ransom price for mans sins so that we would no longer be slaves and servants, but Sons of God, through the Blood of the Son of God ( the perfect lamb of atonement Who alone could absorb the punishment of our personal sin and forgive and grant us forgiveness and freedom from the price of sin: death.). Satan hates this. When Jesus went preaching in His time, the Gospel gives evidence to the fact that the Temple in Jerusalem would send Pharisees to each synagogue and town and spread rumors about Him, lies and convince the people with pressure on the simple or unlearned and intellectual cunning on the learned who had just received the Peace and Freedom that came to them when Jesus spoke to them of Truth and healed them with miracles from the devastating effects of sin. This is happening today. Jesus warned his apostles to watch out for the yeast of Pharisaism. It hunts for faults in souls like a predator for a victim. It is a sickness those with condemnation/guilt issues can be prone towards.
We are free children of God. We have been given the gift of reason, although abuse can tweak our sense of free will, we still have the ability to struggle and wrestle with seeking our good, the good of our soul, mind and body and invoking a God Who promises that those who seek will find (Luke 11:5-13). The fruits of the Spirit are Peace, an increase in Charity and Mercy etc... For some it feels it will take a lifetime, but the daily reward is in the growth in the Love which transforms all evil into good, as only God can do and as He did do in the event of the Crucifixion and Death of our Lord Jesus. Often we accept the Accusers voice of condemnation and look for a "scapegoat" nearby to "take the hit" because to survive, we can't deal with the crushing sense of shame we have accepted. Jesus is that scapegoat, He absorbed the effects of sin so we could be free. But we may have difficulty accepting Him being that, being "Savior" for "me", if we are too afraid that , if He is actually That Authority, then blaming Him will bring me more troubles, or I will be a bad person to let Him take the hit, or maybe, I should be tougher if I have any pride in my dignity. But there are some errors here and important to examine errors because remember, as an example of where certain errors can take us, the Apostle who betrayed Jesus despaired of all hope that he could be helped or needed saving and committed suicide.
I can let Jesus absorb the effects of sin that I am being crushed by because I have a loving God Who knew I would find suffering difficult so He came to me to lift that burden and since He deigned it to be this way, I will be more and more free conforming to this, so not "blaming Him" but letting Him support my weakness so I can use the strength I do have left to me to seek reconciliation with sin, either my own personal sin or the effects of sin from others around me. If our psyches believe God will punish us for doing that, then we can look inside ourselves for other reasons why and bring that to prayer. Our God is not a God of Condemnation (Jn 3:17). So, once we really reconcile with our conscience and get free from deep shame, we will be able to accept Jesus as "my Savior", God as "my Father" and even the Blessed Virgin Mary as "my Mother" as Jesus gave Her to me through St. John at the Passion... without fear. And finally, it takes courage, strength and heroism to accept Truth in mercy and humility (true self-knowledge free of condemnation). That kind of "toughness" is the one to be sought after since it strengthens ones character for endurance in the midst of adversity. Having a hardened proud heart that is unable to be moved to compassion and kindness is an easier road than caring, feeling, crying and opening ones heart to love, charity and mercy. We as human creatures Live through Love, we die, deviate from our human nature, through what is anti-Love.
About Private Revelation:
Jesus said, "Will be there be any faith when I return?" in the Gospels. So, it is no wonder that there is such a loss of faith after 2000 years of persecution upon the faithful but since faith is precisely about believing in what is spiritual and unseen and not corporal per se, and our belief in the testimony of the Apostles regarding Jesus being Our Savior, the prophesied Messiah of the Old Testament Era, the only begotten Son of God, is a belief of Faith, we are encouraged, through the grace of our baptism as Sons and Daughters of God through the Blood of Jesus, to discern and pray in a state of grace and envoking the Holy Spirit to enlighten us as to the Truth in any Private Revelation message we might learn of as free children of God. The Catholic church does not require belief in any private revelation but it is good to remember that our understanding, Feast Days, devotions etc. today of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary and Consecration to them, Fatima etc. began as apparitions to men, women and children ALL from Private Revelation and were heavily persecuted in their own time, just as the Saints were and still are today as is foretold in the gospel esp. and precisely in times of loss of faith. So, please do not be scandalized if God would choose people like Barbara Rose Centilli and one can find so little about her 20 years later. That is not proof of authenticity. St. Louis de Montforts treatise on True Devotion was buried and remained so for 200 years until it was discovered ! And since God is opposed in His children, it is most often that their trials from those around them are in direct opposition of His authentic Voice through them! Many of the Mouthpieces of God today have been forced to work secular jobs or be occupied with countless things that prevent or stop their apostolic outward success especially so those who are in darkness will not see them or be near God's Light within them to be enlightened themselves. But, God makes use of everything and He can use every single Yes we give Him to reach souls everywhere and in every circumstance.
May the Holy Spirit gather us all together into One Family in the Most Holy Trinity through the Ever Virgin Mary, Our Mother and "Crusher of all Heresy". Amen.
