The Spirituality of the Marian Movement of Priests:
The Marian Movement of Priests is. . .
1. ..."HER WORK"
"It is my work, which I am carrying out in every part of the world in these last times. (...)
It is my work, which I myself am now carrying out, in order to gather from all sides the little remnant which will remain faithful to Jesus and to his Gospel, to the Pope and to the Church united with him. (…)It is my work, which I am accomplishing to spread the truth in these times of great apostasy, to bring you to greater unity with the Pope in these days of division and of widespread rebellion, to lead you along the way of grace and holiness amidst the general spread of sin and impurity.It is my work, which I am carrying out by means of my Marian Movement of Priests…" (497celj: June 19.
2. ... HER FAITHFUL COHORT Her Invincible Army in the Decisive Struggle Against Her Adversary
A. She is the Leader of this Cohort:
"The secret scheme, which in a hidden way I have been preparing for some time in order to realize my great plan, is now beginning to become visible: The Movement of my Priests, my cohort ready for the decisive battle and destined for victory." (17 f, Sept. 23, 1973)"I myself will be the Leader of this army. I am now forming it as my own in silence and in hiddenness just as, for nine months, I formed Jesus in my womb, and for many years in silence and hiddenness I brought Him up day by day. "I myself am now choosing the priests of the Movement and forming them according to the plan of my Immaculate Heart. (…) They will make up the cohort of 'my priests' which I myself will nourish and form, preparing them for the approaching battles of the kingdom of God." (5 e,g - July 16, 1973) B. And what does she say this cohort must do?
a) They must be ready . . .
− To obey my orders, because I will soon call them, and they must be ready to respond, ready to be used by me for the ultimate defense of my Son, of me, of the Gospel and of the Church.
They will be the salt in a world which is completely corrupt and a shining light in the darkness which will have enveloped everything.
− To fight, because my Adversary will set loose his army upon them, and he will pursue them with vehemence in a frightful battle. They will be ridiculed, despised, persecuted, and some will even be killed.
But I will always be with them, and will protect and defend them, and will console them, wiping away every tear as only a Mother knows how.
− To defend the Pope, who is already so very much alone in carrying the cross of the Church; there will even be a time at which, like Jesus on the way to Calvary, he will be as though abandoned by everyone.
Then these sons of mine will be his comfort and his defense, and together with me they will be victorious in the greatest battle of the Church.
For the present, my beloved sons, pray, love one another, be as little children. Let yourselves be formed and guided by me alone." (17i-o, Sept. 23, 1973) b) They must restore the sacred image of her son Jesus in the souls of all her children.
"…the Movement of my priests…is desired by me to make reparation for the immense harm caused in souls by atheism, to restore in so many desecrated hearts the image of God, the merciful countenance of my Son Jesus.
My priests are my restorers; they will restore in so many souls the face of God, and thus they will bring back many of my children from death to life. (...)
The priests of my Movement must restore purity in souls and fight firmly against the Demon of Lust in all its manifestations.
They must combat styles that are more and more indecent and provocative; they must combat the press that publicizes evil and entertainment which ruins morals. They must struggle against the prevalent mentality that legitimizes and justifies everything, and against current morality that permits everything. (...)
I want it to be the Movement of my priests which will bring back the fragrance of purity to the world: for it is only on the billow of this perfume that my Son Jesus will once again become the King of hearts and of souls." (21jkqru, Oct. 16, 1973)
3. ... HER GIFT TO THE CHURCH In her message to Fr. Gobbi on January 28, 1984, she says:
"A gift of my Immaculate Heart is this, my Movement. It is my work alone. For eleven years I have been diffusing it in every part of the world; I call my sons, and they respond. For eleven years I have been achieving a masterpiece of love and mercy for the triumph of my Immaculate Heart. Everything that I have told you will be fulfilled to the letter. The Church will come to an ever greater realization of how the Marian Movement of Priests is a gift of my Immaculate Heart, because with it I wish to give the Church the certainty of my perennial presence and my maternal protection." (284no, Jan. 28, 1984)

I too believe that the Antichrist is already among us. There are Catholic seers who have said he's already here. Christians need to pray as they never have before. A tidal wave of apostasy and lust is inundating nearly everything. Television programming is becoming increasingly hostile to religion - and Christianity in particular - while promoting occultism through shows such as Medium and immodesty through almost every show. We are living in the final days before a massive persecution. In fact, as your blog so clearly demonstrates, the persecution has already begun.
I too believe in the MMP and the messsage they promote. It is very important that one finds a Parish who's pastor is faithful to being an Apostle of the New Evangelization. Many Parishes today are very lax in liturgy and even in promoting and giving proper reverence to the Eucharist. A very holy and faithful priest at one of our Parishes said, "Parishes that are not Eucharistic, like protestantism, will fall victim to materialism and secularism and will not survive the end times."
Here is a good article I thought you may take to heart:
