THE TRADNET PODCAST- Episode One: The Unveiling of The Precious Blood Messages of our Lord Jesus Christ, to the teenage Nigerian Visionary,

Precious Blood Great Month of July Novena Prayers Livestream in Honor of the Most Holy Trinity. Day 01. -07/13/2024

Barnabas Nwoye hails from Olo, in Ezeagu LGA, Enugu State, Nigeria. He gave a short description of how his call started, as recorded by Lawrence Maria Ezeuko of the Order of the Holy Wounds of Jesus (OHWJ). Br. Lawrence published a 2 volume account of the initial Messages of our Lord to Banabas, with some of the prayers. Unfortunately, the 2nd volume which I have has no date of publication. Nevertheless, it has an account of the initial encounter of the boy Banrnabas with the Agonising Jesus Christ (page 2). In words of Barnabas: “In my early life, I felt the Agonising life of Jesus Christ. Whenever my elder sisters and brothers taught us during our Block Rosary about the Crucified Jesus Christ; about His tortures and death, because of the love I have for Him, I felt great pain in my heart. This stimulated a deep love of Christ in my life”. The Block Rosary to which he refers to, is a popular devotion in Nigeria which started after the civil war of 1967 to 1970, whereby little children are gathered together in front of a house within a Block of buildings in the city. An adult organiser would pray the Rosary with them and thereafter teach them the Catechism. The devotion was called the Block Rosary Crusade derived from its formation in the city from where it started. But in the rural areas, the gathering is in a designated family. Each Rosary group is called a Block Rosary Center. This is important to understand why our Lord addressed some of the messages, either to Barnabas, calling him, My son; or to My children, as a group. According to Barnabas, “I carried out the work in my Block Rosary Center, and in 1994, I tried to see if I could revive the fallen centres in my town. I was made the leader of the Block Rosary Crusade in my parish, St. Joseph, Olo”. This will help anyone reading the messages understand why most of the initial messages were received at St Joseph’s parish Chapel, Olo. It was not until July 1995 did the call of the Devotion commenced. In his words: “I was preparing for my class examination when I heard a voice calling me: Banabas, Barnabas. I turned to see who was calling me, but could not find anyone. I looked at my watch, it was a minute after 3.00 pm. As I was puzzling over the call, I started hearing a song: "Blood of Jesus”, the Chaplet of the Precious Blood was also said. At the end of the prayer, the song was repeated. After the song, I heard the second call, ‘Barnabas, Console Me, Adore my Precious Blood. I am the Agonising Jesus Christ’. Immediately the whole episode passed and I recovered myself and wondered what this might be. This incident repeated several times with the same statement. I cannot say the appropriate dates because I did not understand what this meant at first. Later I informed my sister, Irene Magbo during our prayer gathering. She advised me to write down whatever I heard. I agreed and did as she told me. Immediately the first encounter stopped … until July 1996. This short introduction is meant to help the reader of the Messages given to the teenage boy Barnabas, from July 5, 1995 to July 22, 21, 2000 (Vol. 1); and from July 22, 2003 (Vol. 2), which we have the privilege to present. According to the two volumes of the Messages which we are presenting, Barnabas had a total of 475 visions in which he received Messages given to him, by our Lord Himself and His Most Blessed Mother. At other times St. Michael the Archangel or a Saint would be sent by our Lord to give some messages on Spirituality. They would appear to him and introduce themselves to him, and then give their message or lessons. In context and content, the visions can only be compared to the Visions of St. Mary Margaret Alacoque of France, through whom the Lord the world devotion to His Most Sacred Heart; St. Faustina Kowalska of Poland, through He gave the Devotion to His Divine Mercy. In several apparitions, Barnabas was shown live incidents of the Passions of our Lord. Many of the messages came with the prayers and devotions which were compiled into the Prayer Book of the Precious Blood which is in use by devotees, with an Imprimatur by His Excellency, Bishop Ayo Maria Ayotebi, Emeritus Bishop of Ilorin, Nigeria. However, the messages that came with the prayers; which explains their purposes, were left out. In many of His Apparitions, the Agonising Lord repeatedly requested; and sometimes commanded Barnabas, to edit His messages and make them known to the world. This is the primary duty of the Spiritual director assigned to him. We shall mention just a few. On the Apparition of March 9, 1997, by 3.00 pm, our Lord asked Barnabas, “My son, why are you delaying my yourself and My messages? The devotion will continue prolonging until you and your people obey all My Messages, those Commands I gave you”. On July 31st, 1999, by 10.00 am, our Lord addressed a message to the parish priest of Barnabas saying: My priest, the bearer of My Agony, fear not to carry out this devotion…. Go and make My will known to all men”. He told him to spread the prayers fast but added, “You should not send this devotion to your Bishop again, until you edit and compile all the Messages I gave you”. This clearly shows that the prayers should go hand in hand with the Messages. On July 30th, 1999, by 10.00 pm, at their Novena Center, Olo, our Lord addressed Barnabas and prayer group: “Children, gather all the messages I gave to you, from 1st January, 1997 to the last day of this Novena. Edit the messages and prayers as well. Then make My will known to the whole world. I promise I will let you know the remaining of the Reparation Prayers. Furthermore our Lord, He continued on the same message: “Children, if you obey Me by compiling Me Messages, I assure you, the Church will hear you. Whatever you then ask of Me, that will be done. Be at peace always. Never contradict the will of Heaven in your lives even if it does not please you”. The following day, on July 31st 1999, by 10.00 pm, at the same venue, the Lord addressed the priest who is the Spiritual director of Barnabas: “My priest, edit and compile all the Messages and prayers I have for this devotion as soon as possible. The evil one is about to attack. During that time, you will not be balanced to do this work”. In a very passionate way, He asked them: “Today, I have given you everything I planned for this devotion. Children, do you love Me? Make My Will known to the whole world”. Then to Barnabas, He said: “Barnabas, do you love Me?” He replied, “Lord, Lord I love You and I promise to console You by adoring Your Precious Blood”. He did not respond to the plea to Make His will known to all men. On Jan. 8th, 1998, by 11.00 pm, Barnabas asked Him a question about apparitions that are regarded as false. Our Lord responded and said: “Many Spiritual directors of My Visionaries do not know the need of editing My Messages. The Divine Message is pure but the heart of man is full of iniquity. I say, edit all My Messages. Many apparitions suffer and will be closed due to lack of proper collation of My messages”. The above few references, show the numerous occasions where our Lord persistently requested Barnabas, his parish priest; whom He referred to as the bearer of His Agony, to edit the messages with the prayers, of the devotion to His Precious Blood. Thus he is by designation the Spiritual Director of Barnabas. In the history of Apparitions of the Lord or the Blessed Mother, It has not happened that the Lord or His Blessed Mother, would be appealing to the visionary; or his spiritual director, to make His messages public, as in the case of Barnabas. The reason for the persistent appeal is because of the importance of the Messages, and their urgency.
