Mary Comes Again: The Nyamgondho K’Ombare Narrative

(These are the words of Mama Maria as she described her second coming to earth. She says that she was fished out of the lake).

“After the dismissal of the Great Assembly of Sayun, I boarded my jet to the earth. Upon arrival, my plane hovered over the earth for quite a while. It surveyed different continents of the world before landing. 

And as my jet flew past India, I directed my pilot, saying:

‘Do not land there. I have been there before. Take me back to Africa.’

So my jet arrived in Africa and landed in East Africa, in Lake Victoria.

I Am the Star of the Lake

I am the star of the lake. I am the one whom the nations are waiting for.

The West is waiting for me and the East too is waiting for me. Europeans are waiting for me and Indians are waiting for me. All the kingdoms of the world are waiting for me.

 But it will still take a while before they find me because my light must also shine in Africa before everything else can be fulfilled.

You the Luos, the lord is among you. He is the God of Jacob, the one who has been abandoned by the West. Hold firmly to him so he does not abandon you too.

The New Greeting

I have brought you a new greeting. It is a gesture that the world shall hate. It is the greeting of ‘glory be with you’.

Therefore, from today onwards, salute one another this way, ‘glory be with you,’ regardless of the hour of the day, even at night.

I have opened the gate of heaven for all of you. Emmanuel has opened the gate of heaven and left it fully open.

Therefore, all of you should pray for the glory of God.

All of you should have a steadfast hope in eternal life.

Ooh, Africans! Lift your eyes up and look up to heavenly treasures.

I Am the One Fished Out of the Lake

I am the one who was fished out of the lake by Mai, son of Ombare.

I am the one who was fished out of the lake with a trap.

Remember that story, you elders.

Mai took me and dressed me up with good clothes.

But after I had given him wealth, he became too proud of himself and started drinking alcohol excessively.

And when he was drunk, he would insult me shamelessly before the public.

I pleaded with him to stop drinking, but he did not take heed of my words.

Therefore, when I could no longer take his insults, I went back to the lake with all my wealth.

Mai was shocked and he died by the shore.

Alcohol is Cursed by God

The almighty God has cursed alcohol. You must stop drinking alcohol now.

Arrogance, rudeness and insults are also forbidden by God.

I Have Come With All Types of Rewards

I have come with all sorts of rewards. My hands are overflowing with rewards.

On my left hand, I have earthly rewards, which are the riches of this world.

And on my right hand, I have heavenly rewards, which is eternal life.

If you receive from my left hand, you should be very careful.

The riches of the world may lead you astray, just as they did to Mai and led him to hell.

Had Mai listened to me and stopped drinking he would now be a saint in heaven.

The Meeting in Heaven: Consliumterente

(This is the story of the meeting of heaven that led to the coming of the Glory of God. Below is a description of the meeting by Mama Maria)

Arrival for the Meeting

“In heaven, they call me Mary. My dwelling place is the heavenly city of Silita.

So before the meeting, I had to board my jet to the heavenly city of Paradise where the meeting was set to occur.

My jet moved at a very high speed, and I arrived at the platform of Paradise before Messiah (Baba Simeo) arrived.

As soon as I arrived, the band of Paradise began to play, giving me a warm welcome as I mounted the podium of Paradise.

Messiah’s jet landed soon after my arrival, just as the band was still playing.

And the band of Paradise continued playing even after his arrival in order to give us a great welcome.

Messiah’s Jet

Messiah came in a jet written “Jet 9”.  It is a jet that moves very fast, covering 9,000 miles per second.

It is always on the flight mode and must leave the runway as soon as it lands.

And because his jet must leave as soon as it lands, Messiah did not take long in Paradise. He talked to me briefly and left immediately.

As he was leaving, he instructed me, saying:

‘Remain behind and wait for the book of the new covenant. You must sign the book of covenant before you leave Paradise.’

Proceedings of the Meeting

Paradise is the place where I went to plead my case for the covenant of Glory.

It is where the angels gathered to witness a great case and to see a great battle.

And it is where the angels and saints joined me in the battle.

This is why we sing the song:

‘Our victory is of God, Alleluia we shall overcome, with the power of our God.’

‘With the angels on our side…’

The case was supposed to last for 9 months, but it took 3 years to conclude because every session was used only to resolve one issue.

In fact, after one question was asked and I responded to it, the proceedings were immediately adjourned until the next session.

The Victory

After 3 years, the case was concluded and the covenant of Glory was granted.

To launch the covenant, I had to break the seals of the book of covenant first.

Breaking the seals involved carrying the bowl of blood and having it sprinkled over my body.

Therefore, I went straight to the bowl of blood and lifted it in my hands.

When I did so, the blood in the bowl drenched my body and the seals of the book covenant were broken.

And when the angels saw this, they were filled with joy and sung loudly, saying:

‘What makes the Lord, leave his throne, to be a man again, and suffer as a slave?’

That is the song that the angels sung.

And when the angels of the order of Latilati heard the song, they declared with authority:

‘Now, the case is closed!’

Latilati Lead the Way

As I left the podium of Paradise, the Band Of Paradise sung a sweet song in honor of the new covenant.

They were singing like human beings, saying:

‘Paradise is open, Paradise is open; Paradise is open for the saints of the Lord.’

And when the angels of the order of Latilati saw me preparing to leave Paradise and ready to take up human flesh, they immediately left their stations to go ahead of me.

Latilati are angels with great prowess in war. They have very powerful wings, more powerful than the wings of a jet. And they cover 10,000 miles per second.

So when they heard the band singing, they took off quickly ahead of me and landed in Sayun.

When Latilati arrived, the Sayun bell which normally rings once in one year was rung twice to a profound surprise of the hosts of Sayun who had never heard the Sayun bell ring twice in one day.

Therefore, the hosts of Sayun, who include righteous priests, monks, Levites, deacons, nuns and Presidium clerics, rushed out of their mansions, even without wearing girdles on their robes.

And they assembled at the Sayun platform, waiting for direction and asking one another what was happening:

‘What is it?’

‘What is happening?’

‘Why did the bell ring twice?’

As they were still gathered at the platform of Sayun and in great confusion, Latilati announced my imminent arrival in Sayun and my impending departure to earth.

After this announcement, the Sayun bell was rung again and the Band of Sayun sung saying:

‘Sayun is open, Sayun is open; Sayun is open for the saints of the lord.’

And when this song ended, the Sayun bell was rung again and the Band of Sayun sung a new song saying:

‘Our home up the hill, our home up the hill, our home up the hill;

Hill Calvary our home, hill Calvary our home, hill Calvary our home.’

As the bell of Sayun was ringing, Lucifer tried to divert the attention of the hosts of Sayun by ringing a bell on earth, which is just a short distance away from Sayun.

Lucifer’s bell was tuned for the following song:

‘Forever and forever, amen! Forever and forever, amen!’

But when Latilati saw Lucifer and his agents doing this, they went straight to them, wrestled them to the ground, trampled them under their feet, whipped them with their flaming swords, and warned them never again to cause any disruptions to the majestic assemblies of heaven.

This is how Latilati went ahead of me to prepare a place for me in the city of Sayun, which lies between Silita and Paradise.

Indeed, before my arrival, the hosts of Sayun went to Latilati and asked why the Holy Queen had taken a little longer to arrive in Sayun. They were eagerly waiting for the moment when I would finally sign up for the new covenant and take my flight to earth.

Mary’s Flight to Sayun

After the departure of Latilati, my jet took off from Paradise.

But before I left Paradise, I sent word to Sayun through the help of the Holy Spirit.

And my message to Sayun was this:

‘I am Mary, whose dwelling place is Silita.

After a successful meeting in Paradise, I am now coming for a meeting in Sayun.’

When I had sent this message, I boarded my jet and left for Sayun.

And as I boarded my jet, the Band of Paradise repeated the song:

‘Paradise is open, Paradise is open; Paradise is open for the saints of the Lord.’

My jet moved at 9,000 miles per second, which is slower than the speed of Latilati who move at 10,000 miles per second. In fact, after leaving Paradise, it took me 9 months to arrive in Sayun.

The angels who boarded my jet were Michael, Gabriel and Raphael.

So during our flight, angel Michael tried to use binoculars to check whether Latilati were still in space, but he could not see them because Latilati were moving at a higher speed.

I, Mary, finally arrived in Sayun and was met by joyous hosts. And as my jet landed, the bell of Sayun was rung and the Band of Sayun sung saying:

                   ‘Sayun is open, Sayun is open; Sayun is open for the saints of the lord.’

It is at Sayun where I boarded my plane to earth.”

Who Is Timothy Atila: First Pope of Legion Maria

Timotheo Atila was born in 1941 at Kaksingri, Roo, in the old Migori District, but now Suba District. The son of Jacob Ojwang and Catherine Akinyi, Timothy belonged to the Kakione Clan of Suba community. Five years after the birth of Atila (named Hitler or Ahitler after Adolf Hitler of Germany); his family moved to Migori and settled in Raha village, Migori District.

Timothy Atila had good education according to the standards of his time. He completed secondary school education before becoming a member of Legion Maria clergy. He also attained Advanced Level Certificate while serving as a clergy. In March 1963, Timothy Atila was consecrated as the first Legion Maria cardinal. And in 1964, he rose to the papal rank after Legion Maria broke ranks with the Roman Catholic Church.

Being a warm, gentle and humble man, Timothy Atila had a gracious presence around him. He looked calm in the face of hardship and radiant in the face of gloom. During the time of Baba Simeo, Timothy Atila was down to earth. You would never know he was the pope unless someone reminded you of that. He sat down on the floor in the presence of the lord, always rendering his service whenever necessary, but always reminding himself that he was a sinful man who was in dire need for the grace of the God.

As a leader, Timothy Atila was selfless. He allowed every priest, bishop, archbishop and cardinal to do his job without undue interference. He knew the value of giving other people their space. But he was also firm and courageous. His unwavering resolve was at its peak when he stood above the petty divisions among Legion Maria members and took the body of Baba Simeo to Calvary, honoring the wishes of his lord without blinking an eye or ceding ground to human desires.

After the return of Baba Simeo to heaven, Timothy Atila led Legion Maria as a true shepherd. He faced rebellion from Cardinal Owino Obimbo, the lord’s brother, and remained cool even at the face of an unnecessary court battle. And during his time, more flock was added to the fold and Legio grew stronger.

Timothy Atila died on 12th June 1998 and was buried on 20th June 1998. He was buried at St. Mary Basilica, Calvary, which is the Legion Maria headquarters. His burial site is today a shrine visited by Legion Maria faithful. The burial service was conducted by his Eminence Cardinal Dean Lawrence Chiaji.

Timothy has gone ahead of us. He has joined the lord in his glory. He often greets us through the Holy Spirit, reminding us that when we serve the lord with dedication, humility and truth, we will shine in his Kingdom. He calls us to serve the lord; to remain faithful and humble; and to use our talents in spreading the message of the glory of God. He is our rock forever, the first among us to receive the keys to the gates of heaven, and the one who is forever the rock of Legion Maria.

Prayer:

“Timothy Atila, our rock. Pray for us so we can lead lives that are as humble as yours. Inspire us to know that leadership is not about ourselves but about the people we lead. Call us to know the lord, and lead us through the way, just as you led us when you were our leader here on earth. Amen.”
