In addition to food, it would be good to give up television, because after watching television programs, you are distracted and you cannot pray. You could also give up alcohol, cigarettes and other pleasures. You know for yourself what you should do.

You must know that Satan exists. One day he stood before the throne of God and asked for permission to tempt the Church for a certain period with the intention of destroying it. God allowed Satan to test the Church for a century but added: You won't destroy it! This century in which you live is under the power of Satan, but when the secrets that have been entrusted to you are realized, his power will be destroyed. Already now he begins to lose his power and therefore has become even more aggressive: he destroys marriages, raises discord even among consecrated souls, causes obsessions, causes murders. Protect yourselves therefore with fasting and prayer, especially with community prayer. Bring blessed objects and place them in your homes too. And resume the use of holy water!

Message dated July 21, 1982
Dear children! I invite you to pray and fast for world peace. You have forgotten that with prayer and fasting wars can also be turned away and even natural laws can be suspended. The best fast is bread and water. Everyone except the sick must fast. Begging and charitable works cannot replace fasting.
Message dated August 18, 1982
For the healing of the sick, a firm faith is needed, a persevering prayer accompanied by the offer of fasting and sacrifices. I can't help those who don't pray and don't make sacrifices. Even those who are in good health must pray and fast for the sick. The more you firmly believe and fast for the same healing intention, the greater will be the grace and mercy of God. It is good to pray by laying hands on the sick and it is also good to anoint them with blessed oil. Not all priests have the gift of healing: to awaken this gift the priest must pray with perseverance, fast and firmly believe.

September 20, 1982
To get the graces, the most important thing is to believe firmly, pray every day with the same intention and fast on bread and water on Fridays. For the healing of seriously ill people, pray more and fast more.

My Heart burns with love for you. The only word I want to say to the world is this: conversion, conversion! Let all my children know. I only ask for conversion. No pain, no suffering is too much for me to save you. Please just convert! I will ask my son Jesus not to punish the world, but I beg you: get converted! You cannot imagine what will happen, nor what God the Father will send to the world. For this I repeat: convert! Give up everything! Do penance! Here, here is everything I want to tell you: convert! Take my thanks to all my children who have prayed and fasted. I present everything to my divine son to get him to mitigate his justice towards sinful humanity.
