The book, TO THE PRIESTS, OUR LADY'S BELOVED SONS, is a most precious gift from the Mother of God. She chose it as a means to spread her work. It contains her messages which, since July 1973, she has been communicating to Fr. Stefano Gobbi through what, in theology, are called interior locutions. Hence in the opinion of Fr. Gobbi's spiritual director, "they are neither the fruit of personal meditations, nor a questionable literary contrivance."
This book is a motherly exhortation in simple language, not a theological treatise.
"It has been the instrument for carrying to the hearts and souls of so many beloved children the voice of the heavenly Mother, the manifestation of my maternal plan, my invitation to receive you all within the refuge of my Immaculate Heart.
How should this book be read? With the simplicity of a child who is listening to his mother...
What do I say in this book of mine? I trace out a simple and beautiful road, but a difficult one, oh how difficult! It is necessary to travel it, if you wish to live the consecration. I teach you how to live; I form you in a practical way to live with me...
...Then you hearts will be inflamed with love, your souls will be illumined by my light, and I will transform you interiorly to lead you to do each day what pleases the Heart of Jesus" (21-1-84, #282b-i)
"Read it, my beloved sons, meditate on it, live it!" (28-1-84, #284j)
In synthesis it contains the doctrine of St. Louis de Montfort, the path of Spiritual Childhood of St. Therese of Liseux, and the way to live the Message of Fatima.
Translated into more than twenty languages including Maltese, it has been printed in hundreds of thousands of copies.

Father Gobbi meets the Pope
It reads as follows:
We further promise you the greatest loyalty to the Gospel, of which we shall always be genuine and courageous heralds, even, if necessary, to the shedding of our blood. We promise loyalty to the Church, for whose service we have been consecrated.
Above all, we wish to be united with the Holy Father and the Hierarchy, firmly adhering to all their directives, so far as to form a bulwark of defense against the movement of dissent against the Magisterium that threatens the very foundation of the Church. Under your maternal protection we want to be the apostles of this sorely needed unity of prayer and love for the Pope, on whom we invoke your special protection...Ending on page A14.
Arsenio.
