The Medallion of the Apostolate of the New Evangelization
The Passion Of Katya Rivas Part One
EXTRACT #1
My little daughter, let yourself be embraced by My most ardent desire that all souls come and purify themselves in the
water of penance, and that the feeling of confidence, and not fear, may penetrate them, because I am a God of Mercy and
I am always ready to receive them in My Heart.
EXTRACT #2
There are souls who consider My Passion, but very few who think about My preparation
for My public life: My loneliness!
EXTRACT #3
Now let us go to the story of My Passion... The story that shall give glory to the Father and holiness to other chosen
souls...
EXTRACT #4
Nobody really believes that I perspired blood that night at Gethsemane, and few believe that I suffered much more in
those hours than in the Crucifixion. It was more painful because it was clearly revealed to Me that the sins of everyone
were made Mine and that I should answer for each one.
EXTRACT #5
The desire that all souls be clean when they receive Me in the Sacrament of Love, led Me to wash the feet of My
Apostles. I also did it to represent the Sacrament of Penance, in which the souls that have had the misfortune of
falling into sin, can wash themselves and regain their lost purity.
EDITOR’S NOTE: Starting Monday, 05 March 2001, in the first week of Lent 2001, Scoop began publication of a series of daily
reflections on spiritual matters from Bolivian author Katya Rivas. Rivas, has received an official imprimatur from the
Catholic Church for several books she says she was instructed to write by Jesus Christ, Mary and various Angels. Scoop’s
extract, above, comes from Rivas’s book “The Passion”. In 1999 Katya Rivas was the subject of a top-rating documentary
show hosted by Mike Willessee (see Scoop TV review - Jesus Christ Tells FOXNews He Wants To Hug World and Scoop Images ). More recently Rivas says she was instructed by Jesus to have her books translated and published on the internet with
the intention of having the books distributed to as wide an audience as possible. Several of the books can now be read
online at http://www.greatcrusade.org/, and more are coming soon.
