RED LUCIFER'S LIE THAT GOD DOES'T EXIST

Divine Appeal Reflection - 218

Today, consider in Divine Appeal 218: "I want mankind to repent. Otherwise, it will cast down innumerable souls into perdition together with the Red Lucifer who suggests to them that My Eternal Father who is God does not exist."

The most painful deception of the Red Lucifer is his cruel whisper that the Eternal Father, who is God, does not exist. This lie strikes at the very heart of the human soul, where the longing for God quietly dwells. When a soul begins to doubt the Eternal Father’s presence, it feels an emptiness that no earthly pleasure can fill. Our Adorable Jesus, with a heart burning with love for every soul, warns us of this grave danger. He sees the lost wandering further into the shadows, believing they are alone, unaware that the Eternal Father watches over them, longing to draw them back into His embrace (cf. CCC 2729).

Our Adorable Jesus calls us to repentance, not with the weight of a command, but with the tender cry of His heart, longing for our return. The Gospel whispers that conversion is not a far-off journey, but a daily homecoming to the Father’s loving arms. Each act of repentance is a step from the tempest into the shelter of His boundless mercy. Jesus yearns for every soul to be freed from the chains of sin, to abandon the emptiness of a grace-less existence, and to awaken fully to the radiant life of divine love. True repentance is not merely regret for wrongs done but a courageous decision to begin anew, with Jesus walking beside us (cf. Luke 15:7).

The lies of the Red Lucifer do more than question God’s existence—they breed a quiet indifference that numbs the soul. When the Eternal Father is denied, hearts grow cold, and sin becomes easier to embrace. Worse still, those lost souls unknowingly pull others into the same darkness. Our Adorable Jesus, with sorrowful love, grieves for these souls, pleading with them to open their hearts before it is too late. The battle for souls is not distant—it happens in the silent struggles of every heart, and we are each called to stand firm in the truth of God’s love, becoming beacons of light for those stumbling in the dark (cf. CCC 1849).

In the quiet of our hearts, we weep with Jesus, sharing His sorrow for souls lost in darkness. Each tear becomes an offering, uniting us to His mercy. Whether in joy or suffering, we sacrifice our days for their return. Rooted in the Gospel, we strive to be instruments of grace, guiding souls from the snares of evil back to Jesus’ loving embrace. Let us not only seek repentance for ourselves but intercede for the distant, offering our prayers as reparation for offenses against His Presence in the Eucharist. Through every prayer and act of penance, may we console His Heart and draw closer to Him, leading others into the light of His love.

Prayer:

Our Adorable Jesus, You are the Light that shatters the darkness of deception. Let the whisper of the Red Lucifer be silenced by the voice of Your truth. Draw every wandering soul back to the Eternal Father. May Your love reign in every heart, and may we never cease to proclaim that God exists and loves us. 

Sr. Anna Ali of the Most Holy Eucharist, intercede for us.
