Messages — Our Lady of Kibeho

Spoken words from the apparition accounts, curated from sanctuary, diocesan, and classic sources. Theme chips highlight recurring calls; this is not a complete critical edition of every diary line.

Expanded corpus for the three visionaries approved by Bishop Augustin Misago (2001): Alphonsine Mumureke, Nathalie Mukamazimpaka, and Marie Claire Mukangango. Nathalie’s entries follow a published English translation of her diary (12 Jan 1982 – 3 Dec 1983). Alphonsine and Marie Claire texts are drawn from widely published accounts of the public messages. Not every private word from every apparition day is preserved; this aims at the fuller public message set.

  1. First Apparition — Mother of the Word

    My daughter.

    I am the Mother of the Word. Of the things of Heaven, what makes you happy?

    If it is true that you are happy, then know that I have heard your prayers and I am here to console you. I would like your friends to have your Faith, because they do not believe strongly enough.

  2. Second day

    Convert. Keep faith. Pray without hypocrisy. I have come so that your companions may believe more strongly.

  3. January 12, 1982

    Nathalie my child, I am grieved because I sent my message and you (people) did not receive it as much as I wished.

    For you to cry it is Me punishing you but it does not mean you sin more than others, instead it is an example to show others that I can punish them.

    Nathalie my daughter, pray hard (three times) pray for the world because it is bad.

    Go and get the book from your prayer place, and read it, understand it, so that you may read for others what you have understood. Worldly pleasures will end, but Heavenly treasures will never end.

  4. Request for a chapel

    I want a chapel built here in memory of my apparitions at Kibeho. Tell the people to pray and to convert.

  5. February 6, 1982

    You will be sad in your life.

    I will tell you who I am when I come back.

    Nathalie my daughter do not be frightened, it is Me the ’Mother of God’ talking to you (Like I said before I am the Mother of the Word).

    This is where I will be finding you in public, for everyone to see.

    In your prayers, you should inflict yourselves, repent, and fast.

    The reason why they get scared when I make an appearance is because I don’t live on Earth so that they see Me. For those that I do, I do it unexpectedly.

    You should put more effort in praying and changing hearts.

    You should pray without hypocrisy. Some of you pray with insincerity.“ The Blessed Mary blessed the water for the first time and Marie Claire saw Mary for the first time. “If you seek My help with faith, I will help in whatever you need. If you try to tell others, I will help you with that.“ “I give how I want, and whenever I want.

    I am the same Virgin Mary, but I appear in many ways.

    You must seek Me always, praying the Rosary and other prayers.

  6. First Apparition — repentance

    Repent, repent, repent!

    One must meditate on the Passion of Jesus, and on the deep sorrows of His Mother. One must recite the Rosary every day, and also the Rosary of the Seven Sorrows of Mary, to obtain the favour of repentance.

  7. Mystical journey

    Alphonsine was taken on a long mystical journey with the Mother of the Word through symbolic places she later described in the language of Heaven, Purgatory, and Hell. The message accompanying these visions was conversion, prayer, and the seriousness of the next life.

  8. Do repent

    Do repent! Do repent! Do repent!

    When I tell you this, I do not speak to you alone, but I speak also to all the others. Men of our times have emptied each thing of its true meaning: he who commits a fault does not recognize that he has done wrong.

  9. May 1, 1982

    I give however I want.

    I appeared to you, the people of Kibeho, what will you do so that others will see that you have been given something that others have not seen?

    Pray earnestly and try to do good deeds.

    I come to guide people and show them the way to Jesus.“ “A person does not need a blessing once but all the time.“ Messages from the Virgin Mary Nathalie Mukamazimpaka “Just like I was inflicted, but was patient, that is why people I appear to, face hard times, so that I can tell if they are able to deal with the world.

    One who works for Heaven does not give up, but one who works for the world gives up.

    No one goes to Heaven without experiencing sorrow.

    This house is nowhere else, neither are these flowers.

    In the sorrows that I give, I want for everyone to receive the sorrow that I give them. And receive it with pleasure, and they should receive it humbly.

    It is good to laugh, it creates happiness, happiness hides a lot of things whereas sadness shows a lot of things.

    What does it mean that the world has grown teeth?

    There is no dirt in Heaven, and there is no humidity. All we do in Heaven is praise God.

    I brought what you have asked for = it rained a lot immediately. It was pouring from one place but would spread everywhere (miracle).

    I give My blessings to all to see all people as flowers for the first time. Time for blessings. “Do not get tired of asking.

    You should tell all this to the Bishop.

    This house (chapel) is called ‘the unifier of the scattered.’

  10. Rosary of the Seven Sorrows

    What I ask of you is repentance. If you recite this chaplet, while meditating on it, you will then have the strength to repent. Today, many people do not know any more how to ask forgiveness. They nail the Son of God to the Cross again. Because of this, I want to come and remind you, especially here in Rwanda where I still find humble people, who are not attached to wealth nor money.

    Recite this chaplet every day if you can, but especially on Friday, on Tuesday, on September 14 (Holy Cross), and on September 15 (Our Lady of Seven Sorrows).

  11. May 31, 1982

    ... you should never go anywhere else besides Kibeho. You must stay here. And you should not go home.“ She showed me terror and war. “In this time, pray for the world because it is going to fall.

    Humbly receive My will.

    Everyone will be rewarded according to their deeds! If you humbly receive My will you will be rewarded.

    I have prepared something for everyone.

    Pray for the world because it is going to fall.

    Pray for the world for it is going to fall. Pray unceasingly. It is My job for you in these sorrows of yours.“ “Pray very hard, for there are people who will fall in that abyss.“ “When you (people) disrespect Me, it makes Me sad.

    As long as you are alive, you must save many people from the abyss.

    The world has grown teeth.

    The Sorrows of the Virgin Mary.

  12. July 10, 1982

    The world is going to fall, the world is bad, change hearts, repent so that you may not fall in the abyss.

    You should all talk to Me and I will listen.“ “Blessed is the one who believes without seeking a miracle. When people seek a miracle to believe, it becomes hard for them to believe without a miracle.“ “The happy ones hide a lot of things, and the sad ones show a lot of things.“ “You should always pay attention to My Seven Sorrows.

    Why do you have a broken Rosary? It does not make Me happy when you wear the Rosary for a show (fashion), what makes Me happy is for you to use it as it should be used. When you pray to Me, you should know what you mean.

    Nothing makes Me as sad as how you run away from Me when I come to you.“ “You should pray and receive sacraments every time.

  13. August 5, 1982

    Why do I show you and you do not see? When I tell you, you do not listen? When I wake you up, you keep sleeping? And when I call you, you do not respond.

    You will never see an unusual sign from Me, but my signs come differently: like unexpected rain, light, and many other signs that I have shown you but you never believed it. What will assure you when you do not respect what I show you? “ “Everything that happens you have seen it before, and the words I speak you have heard them before, but you do not follow them. All that I show or tell you is not new.“ “You give up easily, don’t you know that the flesh lusts quickly, but as soon as it receives it is over. Every time you ask Me to do something for you, and as soon as I do it, it ends there, it doesn’t benefit you, and you take for granted what I have given you.“ “Don’t you know that I give what I want, whenever I want and wherever I want?

    Whenever you ask, do it humbly, and wholeheartedly.

    Ask for faith all the time.

  14. Assumption — rivers of blood

    On the feast of the Assumption, before a vast crowd, the Mother of the Word showed the visionaries terrifying scenes: a river of blood, people killing each other, abandoned corpses with no one to bury them, a tree all in flames, bodies without their heads.

    Pray for the world, so that sin may decrease. Convert while there is still time. The usual Rosary should be recited every day. The Rosary of the Sorrows should be recited at least twice a week, on Tuesday and on Friday. There will be a time that you will wish to pray, to repent, and it will be out of reach. Do what I ask you to do now.

  15. August 15, 1982

    Pray for the world my daughter, so that sin many reduce.“ Please be happy with us on this day of yours. “I can’t be happy, when My children are not happy with Me, they are going to fall and drown.

    It hurts Me that you do not want to hear what I say (remind you).“ “The usual Rosary should be recited every day. The Rosary of the Sorrows should be recited at least two times a week, on Tuesday and on Friday.“ “There will be a time that you will wish to pray, to repent, and it will be out of reach. Do what I ask you to do now.

    When will you understand that I came for the whole world?

    When will you understand that all that God wants from you is to pray.

    There is lack of faith on Earth.“ “The world is the people.“ “I did not come for nothing.

    Blessed are those who differentiate the Holy Water from the usual water.“ “Lucky are those you can tell between your (Nathalie) words and My words.

    God you made me and took care of me. We will live together, in Your kingdom. 1. The blessed Mother is our parent and We will live together in the kingdom. (2X) 2. You should all come to Me, I am the right way to Jesus. (2X) 3. Whoever seeks Me is happy, and I will reign with them in Heaven. (2X)

    Those flowers you saw represent the people of the world. There are good and bad people.

  16. August 28, 1982

    I said that I appear however I want and whenever I want.

    Whoever I give My message, everyone knows them because they walk in the truth all the time and they are always seeking My will.“ “To be humble: (to show humility) It means, to know that God is above all of Us. To keep seeking God. Every time we repent, pray, receive all the sacraments we are humbling ourselves to God.

    To be humble is doing good deeds that show an example to others, accepting to help those in pain, to know that all people are the same, to have love, to live like family, we help the poor and acknowledge that we all come from God. We should respect each other, have a good heart full of love for God and others.“ “I will never forsake My people, those who seek Me, believes in Me and makes Me their parent and asks for Me to rescue them. They will be My children and Wewill be together all the time.

  17. Last public apparition to Marie Claire

    On the feast of Our Lady of Sorrows, Marie Claire received her last public apparition. The Mother of the Word confirmed the mission to spread the Rosary of the Seven Sorrows and the urgent call to repentance and conversion of heart.

  18. September 15, 1982

    the unifier of the scattered people

    The world has gone bad, the world has become wicked.

    All the miracles that I do for you, like the rain and the stars.

    There are many who suffer, except that they do not know how to sanctify themselves in the suffering in order to live happily for Us or to be able to join My Son on the cross.“ “I ask you to tell them what I have told you. You should talk humbly just like Me. Whoever wants to listen will listen.

  19. October 29, 1982

    Today you will meet a tiger in the forest where you pray from. A temptation. Pray very hard so that you may not fail.

    Keep praying for the world and obey what I ask from you.

    I blame you for not praying and standing up to seek God.

    Most of the times you are tempted by the flesh, you polish your bodies and it causes you to fall.

    Have you explained to them that the soul will live another life? Those who did well will live a happy life and those who did bad will be sad.

  20. October 30, 1982

    Public We had the second mysterious journey

  21. November 22, 1982

    I never eat, Heavenly beings do not need food, they are satisfied by happiness.

    Today I will show you four sections of people, but I will focus on the last three...“ (This was a mystical journey so it is too complicated to express in words) “1. Abamarayika 7 (Seven Angels): Where they live is in ISANGANO, a gathering of angels, praising God and rescuing people. 2. Abatoni (the Favored; most of them are wearing white clothes): Those are the ones living in ISENDEREZWA RY’IBYISHIMO, the fullness of joy. 3. Intarambirwa (Those who persevere, wait patiently; many people were wearing mixed colors): Where they live is in ISESENGURWA, the purification.

    Do as you are told because you do not get tired for nothing.

    Blessed is who you open this Bible for, who receives the blessing water, and whom prayers are spoken for, will be blessed because they will be healed from any kind of sickness (first blessing of healing).“ “The name of the small chapel (in the convent of the nuns).

  22. December 22, 1982

    The color white and blue: My clothes (Holy Mary). They mean that I was never conceived from sin and I am blameless.

    Be careful and open your eyes so that you may not get lost.

    Be careful so that you may not get lost. There are some people who claim to know My name, but don’t be troubled, in the end, what is from Me and what is not from Me will be revealed.

    You should tell them that you (all the three girls) are not witches.

    My beloved daughter, the work of praying is unpleasant in front of people, but it is valuable in the eyes of God.

    You should replace dirt with cleanliness and replace hate with love.

    Nobody lacks time to pray, what they lack is the willingness of the heart.

    Why do you ask while giving orders. And you give up easily!

    You ask whatever you want from Us but you should not ask while giving orders. You should be humble and never give up because We give whatever We want, however We want and whenever We want.

    It means that there is no one on earth who can ever unite the world in one family of God or unite them in the good deeds of God besides God himself. Just like no one can turn all these rocks into one rock.

    Water. Those who love, seek, pray to God, and give themselves fully to Us, they will not be thirsty anymore.“ “Their souls will be fine, and their souls receive extraordinary things that come from Us. Just like the body needs water in order to feel better, you should in the same way heal your souls with water that comes from Us.

  23. January 12, 1983

    To be with Us, does not fulfill the pleasures of the flesh, but of the soul. Why do you reject the cross? Does it look like Jesus’ cross?

    The way to the cross = the way to hurtfulness.

    To pray = to give.

    To seek = to beg (cry out loud/ scream).

    Prayers and sacraments are the core of everything.

    You should always remember the sorrows of Jesus. Those who believe in His pain will have everlasting joy.

    The world is bad, it has become wicked. The world has changed the laws of My Son into their own words.

    Look at that flowing blood.

    The world is the people.

    Ask and you shall receive.

  24. February 23, 1983

    In a room with people from the commission 8th Day of Personal Fasting

  25. February 26, 1983

    Those who have seen a lot will be asked a lot, and those who have heard a lot will be asked a lot.

    The blessing of the Virgin Mary will strengthen you, protect you from all evil, and will give you courage to finish what She wants from you.“ “During this fasting period, I need you to increase: To pray To love one another To repent genuinely To suffer - repent To fast To seek help from Jesus through Mary.

    There is no one who can save people’s souls when they have worldly pleasures.“ “Those who have seen much will be asked more, and those who have heard a lot will be asked a lot.

    You should not pray to Me since I am not God. I am His creation. I should be called upon.

    When you pray, you should remember to give thanks before you ask.

    I had asked you to pray for the world. Today I also ask you to pray for the souls in purgatory.

    You should pray all the time. Don’t remember Me only when you are in trouble. You should also remember Me when you are happy.

    I always show you flowers, you should always know that it is people that I’m actually showing you.

    The mixed-up flowers are people, it means that, people’s actions are different. Everyone has their own journey, their own cross, but it is Us who decide those things.

    You should love the way that I have chosen for you. Because it will lead you to that garden where you will be part of those flowers.

    I show you places where good people will end up and where bad people will end up. You should choose where you want to live.“ “The Rosary I asked you to recite is for everyday.

    It is not by force.

    You should always remember to thank God, because every time you ask but you don’t give thanks.

    You should always pray, don’t remember Me only when you are in trouble. Happiness should also be a reason for you to remember Me.

  26. May 21, 1983

    You should pray for each other because everyone’s heart aches.

    The only thing that will save you is to listen and obey what We tell you. What I’m reminding you, and what you read from holy books.

    How do you prepare for the holiday?

    Keep seeking and those who don’t give up will be rewarded.

    Most of the things We do for you are invisible to your eyes.

    Before I bless you, you should first pray.

    Receive well My blessings.

    No one seeks Me in vain.

  27. June 11, 1983

    White clothes represent happiness.

    You should protect your hearts from sin, like you protect your white clothes from dirt.“ “Ask earnestly for diligence: so that you may be humble in everything. Attention: so that you may understand, when evil comes. Light: so that I may show you the right way. Strength: so that you may be able to triumph over your temptations. Heroism: so that you may keep working for Us without laziness. Patience: so that you may live in this world blamelessly.“ “Do you love Me like I love you?

    Do not wonder when that will be explained because it’s been said what’s with Me will reveal itself and what’s not with Me will reveal itself.

    I did not come to shame the world. I have come to remind you what you have forgotten and I have come to record/count.

    Be humble and know that I have come to unite you, to separate you.

    When a child misbehaves, his parents are hurt more, they are hurt because their child has become bad.

    I am always hurt by your actions.

    Are you tired of waiting?

    Are you doubting?

    Are your eyes open?

    Are you awake?

    Are you clean?

    You will fall into abyss of darkness.

    Those who follow My light will not be lost.

  28. July 4, 1983

    Are you clean? I was asking you if you want penitence?

    Are you awake? I was asking you if you want to stop the worldly pleasures that bind you and stop you from following Our Word.

    Are you watchful? I was asking if your eyes are open to see everything?

    Why do you always expect miracles?

    Don’t you see the worldly things outpacing you? Why are you bound by them?

    Is there anyone on Earth who is always happy? Why don’t you accept your pain with love?

    We also carried a cross before We got to Heaven.

    Do you know the good that comes out of pain?

    I did not come in vain.

    My message is for all. Doesn’t the rain fall on everyone?

    The Son of Mary always sees pain.

    I wouldn’t do to you what you do to Me. Because you would die.

    You should be humble, like I am humble in front of Jesus.

    How do those religions keep increasing?

    Stay away from hypocrisy.

    You should always try hard to please your souls like you please your bodies. Wherever you are, you should pray. You should have a prayer for your works and prayers.

    Do not say that you will only pray from the church, or a place that you have prepared, your prayer should always be at heart.

    All the time We come to change you and show you the right way.

    You should try hard to follow My word, you should not only pay attention to what My Son and I say, but you should also read the word from the Holy Books.

    You should know that the right way is hurtful, but you should always be patient.

    Everyone should love the work that they are assigned and should make sure to finish.

  29. Pray for the Church

    Pray unceasingly for the Church, because strong tribulations await it in the coming time.

  30. September 3, 1983

    No one has ever reached Heaven while still here on Earth.

    You should tell people how you see Me. Tell them that no one looks like Me in the world.

    Pray a lot, and pray for each other, because the world is still bad.

    You should love the way of sorrow because it is the way to Us.

    When you hear the Gospel, you should not hide it, instead you should tell it to those who haven’t heard it.

    I asked you to respect this house, is that what you do?“ (Dormitory of Apparitions) “Since I asked you to build My house did you think it was only for that one time?

    Do not hide something that might save you.

    Do you pray for each other? Do you help each other?

  31. October 7, 1983

    This time I use few words, because now I only remind you slowly by slowly. I tell you what I need and whoever wants might obey. I will never force you.

    The reason you don’t fulfill what I ask from you is because you are lazy and distracted.

    I need you to never hide what you have been told, you should tell them what makes Me happy. “ “I did not come in vain.“ “I always ask you to ask for forgiveness in the 'confession prayer' do you do it?

    You obsess too much, what causes it?

    Why do you lose hope quickly?“ “Those who make Me happy, I make them even happier.

    Do you know how much I love you? Why don’t you love Me the same way?

    Why don’t you say the Rosary?

    Why do you lie?

    In this month, start praying your Rosary more and you shall see for yourselves.

    The courage you have to feed your stomachs should be the courage you have to feed your souls.

    Food should not win over prayer and sacraments.

    I am going to bless you, the blessing should strengthen the words you have heard and empower you to obey.

    Every time you pray, especially the written prayers that you have mastered at heart, you should always meditate on the words, as if you have heard them for the first time.

    You should pray before I bless you, because some of you are present but your hearts are not here.

    May the blessing of the Virgin Mary strengthen you and protect you from all evil, and empower you to finish the tasks She assigned you.

    Have you heard those words?

    You should love it because it will enable you to finish what I have told you.

    I have come to let you know that the world has gone bad, I have come to remind you what you have forgotten, and to show you the right way.

    The world is sick and the words I have told you are the only medicine that can save it.

    How many times a day do you say the ‘Father’s Prayer’?

    You should say the prayer ‘Our Father in Heaven’ right. The line that says, ‘forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.’

    Can you forgive those who have hurt you?

    Why do you want to be forgiven yet you do not want to forgive your brother?

    You should have a willing heart and all will be possible.

    Giving up is the reason you miss out on many things.

    Do not seek to see with your physical eyes, but seek to see with the eyes of your heart.

    The eyes that have seen a lot will answer a lot and the ears that have heard a lot will answer a lot.

    My children please stop breaking My heart.

    It makes Me sad that some of you do not love Me when I ask them, there will be a time when they wish to work for Me and it will be impossible.

    Are you clean? I was asking you if you want penitence.“ “Are you awake? I need to know if you want to leave the worldly pleasures that have bound you that prevents you from following Us properly.

    Are your eyes open? I need to know if your eyes are open, because there are a lot of things happening that you don’t see.

    One thing that will help you fulfill what We have said is the works, if you do that, you will never forget anything that We have asked you to do.

  32. October 29, 1983

    Good words do not preserve your soul, and they will not take you to Heaven, but good works are the right way to Us.

    When you resist sin, that is when you know that you are completely saved.

    What will be your excuse in front of Me since I didn’t give you obstacles and other principles?

    The white color: To have a blameless heart.

    The red color: To remember the Holy Heart of Jesus pierced by the spear, and the blood that was shed for Our salvation all because of love.

    Whenever, you pray, do not please your body, or else it will distract you. That is why you should fast and repent so that you may not be distracted.

    Fasting and repentance will be helpful during prayer.

    Before praying, you should first prepare your heart. First ask for strength, light, and openness.

    Prayer should be your heart.

    I did not come to change your bodies but your souls.

    You should always remember every word I said.

    Forgive each other.

    I have asked you to continue to pray, to confess, to repent, to fast, to have good habits like being humble and love.

    The medicine to save this world is to follow the words that I have told you.

    You should know that I love you so much, you should love Me too.

    When you are going to pray or praise, you should not please your bodies, so that you may not be distracted, it is rewarding to hurt your body in order to save your soul.

    The message is not intended for one individual, neither is it for a certain period of time. It is a message We will always remember.

    All that you own, whether they are many or few, should be your offertory to Us. Let it result into thanking and praising Us.

  33. November 19, 1983

    Respect each other, because God hates no one. He never pushes anyone back.

    If you disrespect anyone, you should know that you are also dishonoring God. Respect each other, respect each other.

    I have given you the blessing of the rain.

    When I bless you, I use the sign of the cross because that is what redeemed you.

    Never forget what I have told you.“ “Pray (3X) without hypocrisy, because the world is bad.

    Confess (3X).“ “Repent, fast.“ “You must have good habits, especially being humble, and love.“ “Forgive each other, respect each other.

    Ask for a humble heart, attention, light, strength, courage and patience.

    Children obey, elders obey.

    You should know that the habit of obedience keeps diminishing. Obedience is better than sacrifices. I ask you to obey.

    Forgive each other, respect each other, and do not fight.

    Are you clean?

    Are you awake?

    Are you watchful?

    Recite the Rosary of Sorrows.

    Why do you like consulting spirit mediums, and witchcraft?

    No one can defeat evil besides God and the Mother of the Word.

    Don’t walk two roads for it is tiresome and they lead nowhere.

    It is written that, pray to only one God and love only Him.

  34. Anniversary call

    Pray unceasingly for the Church, because strong tribulations await it in the coming time. Remain in prayer. Remain in the Word. Do not tire of converting.

  35. December 3, 1983

    Is it right to walk both God’s and the devil’s path? Choose one way; God’s way.

    To show that you’re a Christian when God doesn’t see it, is it worth it?

    Fight the devil with all his possessions.

    Why are you greedy?

    Don’t be selfish with what God has given you!

    Everyone should give what they have.

    Help each other.

    Don’t let the world rule you, instead you should rule the world.

    You should pray for each other because you are all weak.“ “I have stopped giving you (Her) messages in public, but I will keep giving you private messages.

    You should know that I am with you all the time. Don’t ever feel alone and go back. Please keep My word.

    You must never go home, you will stay at Kibeho for as long as I want: never go anywhere without permission.

  36. Last public apparition

    I speak to you, who hold power, and who represent the nation: save the people, instead of being their torturers. Do not rob the people; share with others. Be careful not to persecute, to muzzle those who want to denounce your errors. I say to you, I repeat it, whatever you do, even though you try everything to harm somebody because he loves his fellow men, defends human rights, fights for the respect of the life of others, and for the truth and all that is good, and even because he fights so that God may be loved and respected, whatever you do, you can do nothing against him.

    I love you very much. If I came, it is because you needed it.
