MOTHER OF GOD
MEDIATRIX OF ALL GRACE
THE MESSAGE OF OUR LADY OF MOUNT GANXIM-BATIM, GOA - INDIA
'PLEAD FOR PEACE FROM THE IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY, FOR THE LORD HAS CONFIDED THE PEACE OF THE WORLD TO HER'
The Apparitions of Batim: A Call for Recognition
Recent developments in the Church’s discernment of apparitions, particularly the ruling by the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith on Medjugorje, offer a valuable framework for evaluating the Batim Apparitions and Messages. The spiritual fruits of Batim are clear in the conversions, deepened Marian devotion, and reverence for the Eucharist, though on a smaller scale than Medjugorje.
Batim’s mission, however, is distinct, emphasizing prophecy, warnings, and preparedness for future trials. It echoes the messages of Fatima and Akita, while focusing on the First Saturday devotions and the Devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. The limited attendance at these gatherings does not detract from the divine origin and the global relevance of these events. Just as God sees the end from the beginning and has foretold a time when the Church at Batim will flourish after an era of purification, so too should the significance of Batim be considered with a long view of divine Providence.
The current era, marked by persecution and spiritual trial, mirrors times of crisis prophesied at other Marian apparition sites, such as Fatima and Kibeho. In light of the Vatican’s recent formal recognition of the Medjugorje Apparitions, we urge consideration of the apparitions in Batim, which likewise bear essential warnings, calls for conversion, and promises of peace and renewal.
The Prophetic and Salvific Nature of the Batim Messages
The messages delivered at Batim, particularly those received by Iveta Fernandes, have consistently focused on God’s salvific plan for the world during this period of history. The Blessed Virgin Mary has prophesied an impending era of purification, calling for fervent prayer, reparation, and the consecration to her Immaculate Heart, mirroring her requests at Fatima. The Blessed Virgin herself has stated, “Batim lies in the shadow of Fatima”. The apparitions represent a continuation and deepening of Fatima’s salvific plan, aimed at guiding humanity through a time of purification into the promised era of peace.

Iveta’s Profound Mystical Encounters
Iveta Fernandes, the chosen visionary, has experienced profound mystical encounters. These include Eucharistic miracles witnessed by her spiritual directors, including the late Rev. James H. Duffy and Rev. Fr. Antoine Emmanuel. These miracles, along with the phenomenon of the spinning sun and live-transmitted messages Iveta receives, are further signs of the authenticity of the Batim Apparitions. The fact that Iveta’s transmissions of the messages are spontaneous, without thought processing, indicates a divine source, consistent with the manner in which recognized visionaries received their messages. Moreover recognizing these signs without acknowledging Mary’s presence would be incomplete and fail to honor Her vital role in these divine interventions.
The Suffering and the Thesis of Purgatory: A Message for Our Times
The book The Suffering and the Thesis of Purgatory, given by Our Lady through Iveta, is particularly relevant for our times. It provides insights into the salvific power of suffering, offering hope and direction to those seeking to unite their sufferings with Christ for the salvation of souls. This work underscores the importance of prayer and sacrifice in aiding the purification of souls in purgatory, aligning with the broader messages of the Batim apparitions. It calls the faithful to embrace suffering as a means of salvation, both for themselves and for others.
A Roadmap for the Remnant Church
Our Lady’s messages at Batim serve as a roadmap for navigating the rising apostasy and the prophesied period of purification. She urges the faithful to embrace devotion to the Sacred and Immaculate Hearts, offering them as refuges of grace and protection in these troubled times. Her maternal call for prayer, penance, and consecration echoes the timeless message of Fatima, providing guidance to the remnant Church, who will remain steadfast during the trials of purification. These messages come not from human imagination, but from a deep divine purpose, with Our Lady acting as an intermediary between humanity and God.
A Comparison to Other Approved Apparitions
The messages and spiritual fruits of Batim align closely with those of Church-approved apparitions. Like Fatima, Batim places a strong emphasis on the consecration to the Immaculate Heart, prayers for peace, and the need for reparation. The warning of an impending purification, similar to that of Garabandal and Akita, reveals the urgency of repentance and conversion before the coming tribulations. The prophetic insight regarding apostasy within the Church and global moral decay finds strong parallels in the messages of Our Lady of Akita, where similar warnings of internal strife and divine chastisements were made. The warnings echo the Biblical precedent of Jonah and Nineveh: disaster can be averted if humanity responds in repentance. However, the failure to heed the warnings brings about the foretold chastisements, further emphasizing the urgency of these messages for contemporary times.
Prophecies Realized and Warnings Heeded
Among the most striking elements of the Batim messages are the prophecies that have already seen partial fulfillment. In one of her revelations, the Blessed Virgin Mary warned of a pandemic as a form of chastisement, akin to the messages given by Our Lady of Kibeho, who predicted the Rwandan genocide. The warnings of a pandemic, apostasy, and global tribulation echo the chastisements seen throughout Church-approved apparitions. Just as the fulfillment of the Kibeho prophecy lent weight to the authenticity of those apparitions, the accuracy of the Batim predictions should be seriously considered.
The warnings from Our Lady about diabolical medical products, now reflected in the controversies surrounding global health interventions, underscore the prophetic nature of her messages. She emphasized that such products would cause more harm than good unless humanity returns to God through prayers of reparation. This prophecy is particularly relevant in light of current global events. Additionally, there are prophecies for an era of peace, as well as a call for the Church at Batim to be rebuilt and consecrated under the title Mary, Mother of the Church, Our Lady of Mount Ganxim-Batim.
The Urgency of Recognition
In the spirit of Marian devotion, the spiritual fruits of the Batim Apparitions, and the profound theological coherence of the messages, we respectfully urge the Vatican to begin the process of formal investigation and recognition. The era of purification, foretold by Our Lady at Batim, is already upon us.
The faithful deserve the Church’s guidance and affirmation in this critical moment. As Our Lady herself has promised, the recognition of her title as Mediatrix of All Grace, Co-Redemptrix, and Advocate would open the floodgates of grace necessary for the Church to endure the coming trials and flourish once again.
By granting official recognition, the Church would not only affirm the authenticity of the Batim Apparitions but also provide a lifeline of grace for the faithful in these perilous times, confirming that God’s plan for salvation is unfolding through the maternal mediation of the Blessed Virgin Mary. This recognition would also reinforce the unity of Marian apparitions across the globe, bringing renewed strength and purpose to the mission of conversion and reparation for the salvation of souls.
We trust in the Holy Spirit and the maternal guidance of Our Lady to lead the Church in this decision.
In accordance with the directives of Pope Urban VIII and the new Vatican guidelines outlined in "Norms for Proceeding in the Discernment of Alleged Supernatural Phenomena," we do not intend to pre-empt the judgment of the Holy Apostolic See and the Church regarding the apparitions reported by us. We fully submit to and accept the Church's final decision without reservation.
Iveta Cleophas Fernandes, the visionary of Batim and a simple and humble lady has been chosen by Divine Providence to be an 'instrument' through whom God through the Immaculate Heart of Mary wishes to make known His Salvific Plan for Our World.
This is in the context of the predicted times and the strategic role of the Immaculate Heart in obtaining peace for the world through the fulfillment of the Fatima Message: "Tell everybody that God gives graces through the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Tell them to ask graces from Her and that the Heart of Jesus wishes to be venerated together with the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Ask them to plead for peace from the Immaculate Heart of Mary, for the Lord has confided the peace of the world to Her."
A Message from the Blessed Virgin Mary to ' Her Chosen Sons' the Priests
To the Batim (Goa) Visionary Iveta Cleophas Fernandes has been revealed Prophetic Warnings for Our World which are published in the Book: Suffering and The Thesis of Purgatory. This book brings to life the Prophecies of Fatima and unfolds the Book of Revelation.

This book also contains prophetic messages of the impending Schism of the Catholic Church and of the Persecution that will befall to purify the Church before the promised Era of peace!
In revealing the spiritual battle that we are currently engaged in, the messages contained in this book give us a spiritual roadmap for the times ahead and calls for the proclamation of the fith Marian Dogma: 'Mary, Mediatrix of All Grace, Co-Redemptrix and Advocate'.
The Book ‘Suffering and the Thesis of Purgatory’ released in February 2021 shows the splendour of God’s Mercy that is inseparable from God’s Justice, and it foretells of a disaster that will happen if we do not choose conversion and if we go on ‘playing God’. It also describes the great danger of the schism of the Catholic Church - that originates in the refusal to accept the ministry of Pope Francis and foreshadows the persecution that could result.

This devotion begins on Friday, The First Friday of each Month, known as Devotion to The Sacred Heart of JESUS, and ending into the day, known as The First Saturday, devotion to My Immaculate Heart. These devotions have come into being, to bring The Grace of Reparation for The Offences committed against The Sacred Heart of JESUS, and The Immaculate Heart of Mary.
The prayers begin at 8:00 A.M. (Indian time) 1st Friday of each month and end 12:00 Midnight on the First Saturday of each month, but can be said at any time so long as the intention is met. These devotions have come into being, to bring The Grace of Reparation for The Offences committed against The Sacred Heart of JESUS, and The Immaculate Heart of Mary.
"It is important to understand this manner of prayer. It is not a burden; it will be each one taking an hour to pray. This devotion is most efficacious before JESUS in The Blessed Sacrament.” Click here for further details.
