The Messages of Barcelona Received by St. Peter Nolasco - August 1, 1218 The Blessed Virgin Mary: “Find for Me other men like yourself, an army of brave, generous, unselfish men, and send them into the lands where the children of the Faith are suffering.” St. Peter Nolasco: "Who am I that God should honor me like this? And who are you, who knows so well, the secrets of my heart?' The Blessed Virgin Mary: "I am Mary, the Mother of God. My son, the Redeemer of the world, who came to give liberty to the captive, has much people bound in captivity, and wishes the order to be established."
