Manuela – This is the Time of the Great Confusion

Saint Michael the Archangel and St Joan of Arc to Manuela Strack on May 19, 2026:

A large golden ball of light floats above us in the sky, with a smaller ball of light to its right. A beautiful light descends upon us from the sky. The large golden ball of light opens, and Saint Michael the Archangel emerges from it. He is dressed in white and gold, like a Roman soldier, and is wearing his red cloak of protection with the clasp in the form of a golden lion’s head. Saint Michael the Archangel is wearing his golden prince’s crown with an oval ruby, and his sword rises toward the sky. “Deus Semper Vincit” (God always wins) is inscribed on his sword. In his left hand, he holds his shield, on which his prayer is written in Latin, and he holds it out toward us. This is an invitation to prayer. I notice that he is wearing golden Roman sandals. Then we pray:

Sancte Michael Archángele, defénde nos in práelio, contra nequítiam et insídias diáboli esto praesídium. Imperet illí Deus, súpplices deprecámur: tuque, Princeps milítiae caeléstis, sátanam aliósque spíritus malígnos, qui ad perditiónem animárum pervagántur in mundo, divína virtúte in inférnum detrúde. Amen. (St. 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 thou, O Prince of the heavenly hosts, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan, and all the evil spirits, who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.)

After this prayer, Saint Michael the Archangel draws closer to us. He spreads his protective mantle over us, which also becomes our protective mantle. Then, Saint Michael the Archangel says to us:

Beloved friends of Christ, I am Saint Michael the Archangel and I come to you from the Lord’s Throne, for it is His Will. You know that you are in the time of tribulation; this is the time of great confusion, and the ‘smoke of Satan’ has also penetrated the Church. It is a time when many consecrated persons are afflicted with spiritual blindness. ^[1]Personal note of Manuela/her spiritual director: [their] perception is blind. I have said this before: The greater part of your clergy are in a state of ruin, ^[2]verdorben – in a state of decomposition, ruined, tainted and the others are afraid. Thus, the spirit of the age (Zeitgeist) has penetrated the Church with its teachings, and I have come to you to offer you comfort and hope. Have the courage to live out the faith of your forefathers in the faith. Stay true to Jesus! Sin and the devil (Diabolos) cry out for retribution, yet the language of love is mercy. Do not judge; pray for the souls who have been led into error!

St Michael the Archangel comes even closer to us.

Have courage and live your Catholic faith. Remember that Jesus is the Truth and that He shed His Precious Blood for you on the Cross, thereby already securing victory for you! Look to your forefathers in the faith! Overcome error through God’s Word, the Holy Scripture, and the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and do not let Satan lead you into error! It is Satan who leads you into error, because he envies your divine filiation. His path will lead into the abyss, but you can live in the holy sacraments, in God’s mercy. If you do this sincerely, you will not be judged, but saved!

The time of confusion is only brief; keep this in mind! You are living in the time of tribulation, the time of plagues and confusion. Look to Jesus; do not look at what must come in order to purify the hearts of men. The path of error will lead the Church up to Golgotha. ^[3]“In the Third Secret it is foretold, among other things, that the great apostasy in the Church begins at the top. —Cardinal Luigi Ciappi, cited in The Still Hidden Secret, Christopher A. Ferrara, p. 43. The vision of the Third Secret is as follows: “The Angel cried out in a loud voice: ‘Penance, Penance, Penance!’. And we saw in an immense light that is God: ‘something similar to how people appear in a mirror when they pass in front of it’ a Bishop dressed in White ‘we had the impression that it was the Holy Father’. Other Bishops, Priests, men and women Religious going up a steep mountain, at the top of which there was a big Cross of rough-hewn trunks as of a cork-tree with the bark; before reaching there the Holy Father passed through a big city half in ruins and half trembling with halting step, afflicted with pain and sorrow, he prayed for the souls of the corpses he met on his way; having reached the top of the mountain, on his knees at the foot of the big Cross he was killed by a group of soldiers who fired bullets and arrows at him, and in the same way there died one after another the other Bishops, Priests, men and women Religious, and various lay people of different ranks and positions. Beneath the two arms of the Cross there were two Angels each with a crystal aspersorium in his hand, in which they gathered up the blood of the Martyrs and with it sprinkled the souls that were making their way to God.” —The Message of Fatima, July 13th, 1917; vatican.va Take courage and follow the teaching of your fathers in the faith; this is the teaching of the Apostles! Pray hard for peace in the world and for the conversion of sinners! Pray, for you are living in the time of Babylon with all its heresies: a new Babylon, steeped in sin. Therefore, ask for reparation, for the first chastisement that will spread will be brought about by human hands and is a consequence of heresy. But do not be afraid: take courage! The Lord has placed me beside those who sanctify their souls. I am a faithful friend to them.”

Vision of St. Joan of Arc

Now the small golden ball of light opens, and Saint Joan of Arc comes to us in golden armor with her banner, on which is written “Jesus and Mary.”  Three golden French lilies are visible on this banner. She says to us:

Beloved friends of the Cross, take courage and live your faith with the confidence that you will be saved and are not lost if you live in the holy sacraments.

Saint Joan of Arc puts down her banner, and I then see that she is carrying the Vulgate (Holy Scripture) on a cushion of white roses with red lilies. She kneels before the Holy Archangel Michael. The page of the Vulgate (Holy Scripture) that is open is from the Acts of the Apostles: Acts 5:12–32:

Now many signs and wonders were done among the people through the apostles. And they were all together in Solomon’s Portico. None of the rest dared to join them, but the people held them in high esteem. Yet more than ever, believers were added to the Lord, great numbers of both men and women, so that they even carried out the sick into the streets, and laid them on cots and mats, in order that Peter’s shadow might fall on some of them as he came by. A great number of people would also gather from the towns around Jerusalem, bringing the sick and those tormented by unclean spirits, and they were all cured.

Then the high priest took action; he and all who were with him (that is, the sect of the Sadducees), being filled with jealousy, arrested the apostles and put them in the public prison. But during the night an angel of the Lord opened the prison doors, brought them out, and said, “Go, stand in the temple and tell the people the whole message about this life.” When they heard this, they entered the temple at daybreak and went on with their teaching.

When the high priest and those with him arrived, they called together the council and the whole body of the elders of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought. But when the temple police went there, they did not find them in the prison; so they returned and reported, “We found the prison securely locked and the guards standing at the doors, but when we opened them, we found no one inside.” Now when the captain of the temple and the chief priests heard these words, they were perplexed about them, wondering what might be going on. Then someone arrived and announced, “Look, the men whom you put in prison are standing in the temple and teaching the people!” Then the captain went with the temple police and brought them, but without violence, for they were afraid of being stoned by the people. When they had brought them, they had them stand before the council. The high priest questioned them, saying, “We gave you strict orders not to teach in this name, yet here you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and you are determined to bring this man’s blood on us.” But Peter and the apostles answered, “We must obey God rather than any human authority. The God of our ancestors raised up Jesus, whom you had killed by hanging him on a tree. God exalted him at his right hand as Leader and Savior that he might give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins. And we are witnesses to these things, and so is the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey him.”

Now she walks back from the Holy Archangel Michael to the place where she left her banner, picks it up again, and stands before me. She says:

Do not place your trust in a human savior ^[4]cf. On Secular Messianism, nor in any office; trust in the Lord and always remember: one must obey God rather than men! That is what I did too. I want to encourage you, for your way out is faith in Jesus Christ, the Lord. He will take care of you, even if all that must come does come. Remember this!

Also, remember that hearts must be purified. A large part of humanity does not realize this because the spirit of the age has already influenced them too much, and many who are consecrated to God have been struck with blindness — because they have placed their trust in the spirit of the age and have lost their courage. But look at the Vulgate and see how God works.

The Holy Spirit is to be found in silence, as with Elijah in the cave (cf. I Kings 19:9-18). He speaks gently to you, and you may accept or reject it.

How precious are your prayers and your willingness to serve God! I earnestly ask this of you: Be servants of God and reject the spirit of the times! Stay true to Jesus! Behold, holiness is growing in France, ^[5]Translator’s comment, who lives in France: “I can confirm St Joan’s observation that holiness is growing in France; for a couple of years now, there has been a marked increase in the number of adult baptisms, and something is definitely going on among young people (well, some of them, as many others are destroying themselves in all kinds of ways…)” and at the very same time that error and ruin are spreading, the grace of God is being kindled. So take courage!”

The Holy Archangel Michael speaks:

Quis ut Deus! (Who is like God?) May God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit bless you! Amen. I remain with you; have no fear, take courage, and pray for those who seem to have already lost everything.

Saint Michael the Archangel and Saint Joan of Arc return to the light and disappear.
