Table of Contents
Across the messages received and published by Catholic mystic Luz de Maria de Bonilla, one theme appears repeatedly: the call to pray for the nations of the world.
Countries are named in connection with earthquakes, volcanic activity, floods, storms, fires, war, political and social upheaval, disease, persecution, and other forms of suffering. At other times, a nation is named without a specific calamity being identified—the faithful are simply asked to pray.
These requests are not confined to one continent or one period. They extend across North and South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, the Caribbean, the Middle East, and other regions of the world.
The repeated pattern is noteworthy. Again and again, the messages attributed to Our Lord Jesus Christ, the Blessed Virgin Mary, St. Michael the Archangel, and occasionally others call attention to particular nations and invite the faithful to respond—not with fear, but with prayer, conversion, faith, and concern for one another.
The official English-language archive of the messages is maintained by Revelaciones Marianas.
Introduction
This article is based on a detailed review and indexing of the English-language annual compilations of the messages published by Revelaciones Marianas for 2009 through 2025.
Because a simple search for country names can easily produce misleading results, the references were classified into three categories:
Direct Prayer: The message explicitly calls for prayer or intercession for the named country, people, or geographical area.
Prayer-Linked: The place is grammatically connected with a call to prayer, but the wording is less explicit than a direct statement such as “pray for Mexico.”
Warning Only: A country or region is mentioned in connection with an anticipated difficulty or event, but the passage does not actually request prayer for that place.
This distinction is important. A warning concerning a country should not automatically be represented as an explicit request to pray for that country.
Our resulting master research index contains 3,072 prayer-related geographical records associated with 925 message dates and 144 distinct named geographical places.
Of these records, approximately 89 percent are classified as Direct Prayer.
The purpose of this article is not to reproduce that enormous index. Rather, it is a humble attempt to explain the larger pattern that emerges from it.
Go to our "Prayer for the Nations Index" to take a deeper dive into Luz de Maria's messages in which there is a call for prayer for countries or regions.
A Note About This Research
The underlying spiritual idea is remarkably simple.
Humanity is repeatedly invited to pray for one another.
A particularly clear expression of this principle appears even in a more recent message attributed to St. Michael the Archangel, in which the people of each nation are invited to pray for their own country while remembering the entire world. The message also calls upon people to intercede for their land, leaders, families, and peace among nations. (Revelaciones Marianas)
Although that particular message falls outside the 2009–2025 period examined in our master index, it illustrates exceptionally well the recurring principle found throughout the earlier messages:
Prayer for one's own nation should not exclude prayer for other nations.
The concern is universal.
Go to our "Prayer for the Nations Index".
Pray for the Nations
These figures should be interpreted carefully. A larger number of references does not mean that a particular country is worse, more sinful, more endangered, or more important to God than another.
The numbers tell us only what can responsibly be concluded from the index:
Some countries are named in prayer-related passages considerably more frequently than others.
The concentration is substantial. The ten countries appearing at the top of the table account for more than half of the Direct Prayer geographical records in the index.
Go to our "Prayer for the Nations Index".
Which Nations Are Mentioned Most Frequently?
One advantage of creating a comprehensive index is that it lets us see patterns that are hard to recognize when reading thousands of messages individually.
Using the conservative Direct Prayer classification, several countries stand out. See the table below:
The United States
The United States is particularly prominent in the indexed messages.
It appears not only as a nation but through more specific geographical references, including California,
San Francisco,
Hawaii,
Florida,
New York,
Miami, Nevada,
the East and West Coasts,
Mount St. Helens, and other locations.
The concerns associated with American references vary. They include earthquakes and other natural events, water, social and political turmoil, conflict, and more general calls to prayer.
This illustrates why preserving the precise geographical wording of the messages is important. If every reference to California or Hawaii were simply converted into “United States,” valuable detail from the original messages would disappear.
Go to our "Prayer for the Nations Index".
Japan, Chile and Mexico
Three other countries appear with striking frequency: Japan, Chile, and Mexico.
Together with the United States, these four countries account for more than one-third of all Direct Prayer records in our master index.
A significant recurring theme associated with them is the shaking of the earth.
This pattern is plainly visible in the published messages. For example, the official Revelaciones Marianas collection of earthquake-related passages includes explicit calls to pray for Mexico, Ecuador, Chile and Argentina, as well as Japan and the United States. (Revelaciones Marianas)
It would be inappropriate, however, to conclude from this alone that the messages successfully predicted particular earthquakes. Japan, Chile, Mexico and parts of the United States are already highly seismically active areas.
Establishing whether a particular warning has a meaningful relationship to a later event requires an entirely separate analysis using independent seismic records, predetermined time periods, magnitude thresholds and appropriate statistical baselines.
That question should remain separate from the present one.
Here, we document what the messages say and where prayer is requested.
Go to our "Prayer for the Nations Index".
Earthquakes: One of the Strongest Recurring Themes
Of all the specific physical phenomena represented in the indexed prayer requests, earthquakes and seismic activity stand out.
At least 545 Direct Prayer records in our master dataset carry an earthquake or seismic classification (nearly one-fifth of all Direct Prayer records).
The messages repeatedly speak about the earth shaking and call for prayer for countries considered vulnerable.
The official site's earthquake compilation provides numerous examples.
A July 2, 2025 message attributed to Jesus, for example, calls for prayer for Mexico and then Ecuador, Chile and Argentina in connection with the shaking of the earth.
A May 19 message attributed to the Blessed Virgin Mary calls for prayer for the United States, Japan, Chile and Argentina in a similar context. (Revelaciones Marianas)
The emphasis is not limited to earthquakes. The indexed messages also contain references associated with:
volcanic activity;
flooding and water;
tsunamis;
storms and severe weather;
fires; and
other natural phenomena.
Taken collectively, natural events form one of the strongest recurring geographical themes in the message collection.
Go to our "Prayer for the Nations Index".
Water, Flooding and Severe Weather
Water appears in different contexts throughout the messages.
At times it is associated with flooding or severe weather. Elsewhere, coastal areas, islands, or entire countries are identified in passages concerning water.
Our index contains approximately 98 Direct Prayer records classified with flooding, water, or severe-weather concerns.
Again, the spiritual response requested in these passages is generally not panic.
It is prayer.
This distinction deserves emphasis because prophetic or apocalyptic material can easily be presented sensationally. Whatever one's personal judgment concerning private revelation, the recurring devotional response within these messages is prayer, conversion, faith and spiritual preparedness.
Go to our "Prayer for the Nations Index".

Volcanoes and Fire
Volcanic activity is another identifiable theme, appearing in approximately 77 Direct Prayer records in our classification.
Sometimes an entire country is mentioned; at other times the geographical reference is much more specific—for example, a volcano, island, mountain, or region.
Fire also appears repeatedly, although less frequently than earthquakes or volcanic activity. Approximately 38 Direct Prayer records in the index carry a fire-related classification.
The retention of these more specific geographical references is one reason our master index distinguishes countries from cities, states, territories, islands, coasts and geographical features.
Go to our "Prayer for the Nations Index".
War, Conflict, and the Nations
Not every call to prayer concerns natural events.
The messages also contain repeated concern about war and international conflict.
Our master index identifies at least 61 Direct Prayer records explicitly classified in connection with war or armed conflict, with the theme becoming particularly visible in the later years of the 2009–2025 collection.
Countries and regions appearing in geopolitical contexts include Russia, Ukraine, Israel, the Middle East, European countries, the United States, China, Taiwan, and others.
In the official Revelaciones Marianas material concerning war, the faithful are repeatedly called to pray amid escalating international conflict.
A June 18, 2025 passage attributed to the Blessed Virgin Mary, for example, asks for prayer for countries at war and that additional nations not become involved. (Revelaciones Marianas)
This is an important dimension of the messages.
Prayer for nations is not merely prayer that a physical disaster will be avoided. It is also prayer for peace, leaders, peoples caught in conflict, conversion, and reconciliation.
Go to our "Prayer for the Nations Index".
Sometimes Many Nations Are Named Together
Another pattern became much clearer when the messages were converted into a structured dataset.
A single message may name several countries or geographical areas.
Across the index, a qualifying message date contains an average of approximately 3.3 geographical prayer records, with a median of three.
Some messages contain considerably more.
For example, our index identifies message dates on which ten, fourteen, fifteen or even sixteen geographical references occur.
This matters because reading the messages only by country can obscure something important: countries are frequently presented as part of a larger regional or global situation.
A prayer request concerning Mexico, for example, may occur in a message that also calls for prayer for several countries in Central America, South America, the Caribbean, Europe or elsewhere.
This is why we ultimately created two complementary research structures:
a By-Country Index,
and a Chronological Index.
The first answers: What messages concern this particular country?
The second answers: What countries and regions were being mentioned together at this particular point in time?
Both perspectives are useful.
Go to our "Prayer for the Nations Index".
Countries, Cities, Islands, and Regions
Approximately 85 percent of the Direct Prayer records in our index concern countries.
But the remaining references include regions, cities, territories, states, islands, coastlines and geographical features.
Among the geographical names appearing in the research are places such as:
Central America,
the Middle East,
California,
San Francisco,
Florida,
New York,
Hawaii,
Puerto Rico,
Aruba,
Trinidad and Tobago,
San Andrés and Providencia,
La Palma,
Mount Etna,
Mount St. Helens,
the Mediterranean Sea and
the Ring of Fire.
We deliberately preserved such references rather than automatically replacing them with their parent country.
This allows readers to see the geographical specificity present in the messages themselves.
Go to our "Prayer for the Nations Index".
Who Gives the Calls to Prayer?
Another interesting finding concerns the reported speakers.
Across all 3,072 prayer-related geographical records in the dataset, approximately:
44 percent occur in messages attributed to Our Lord Jesus Christ;
43 percent occur in messages attributed to the Blessed Virgin Mary;
and approximately 12 percent occur in messages attributed to St. Michael the Archangel.
A very small number are associated with other reported speakers.
Thus, the overwhelming majority of the geographical calls in the indexed messages are attributed to Jesus, the Blessed Virgin Mary, and St. Michael.
Go to our "Prayer for the Nations Index".
Prayer Rather Than Fear
It would be easy to read a long collection of references to earthquakes, war, disease, and disasters and come away frightened.
But doing so can obscure an important spiritual theme running through the messages.
The repeated response being requested is prayer.
Prayer for one's country.
Prayer for other countries.
Prayer for those suffering.
Prayer for peace.
Prayer for conversion.
Prayer for protection.
Prayer for leaders.
Prayer for families.
And ultimately, prayer for the whole world.
This remains evident in the continuing messages on the official site, where St. Michael is reported as calling upon each people to intercede for their own land, leaders, families, and peace among nations. (Revelaciones Marianas)
Prayer, therefore, should not be understood merely as a reaction to catastrophe.
Within the spiritual framework of these messages, it is an expression of solidarity and love for one's neighbor.
A Catholic in the United States can pray for Japan.
Someone in Mexico can pray for Italy.
Someone in France can pray for Chile.
Someone whose own country is at peace can pray for people living through war.
The nation being named may be thousands of miles away, but Christian charity recognizes no such boundary.
Go to our "Prayer for the Nations Index".
Why Pray for Another Nation?
Sacred Scripture repeatedly calls Christians to intercede for others.
St. Paul urges:
“I ask that supplications, prayers, petitions, and thanksgivings be offered for everyone.”
— 1 Timothy 2:1
The Letter of James similarly teaches:
“Pray for one another, that you may be healed.”
— James 5:16
And Jesus commands a love that extends even beyond friends and neighbors:
“Love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you.”
— Matthew 5:44
Seen from this perspective, prayer for nations need not depend upon accepting any particular private revelation.
Praying for people facing war, disaster, hunger, persecution or uncertainty is itself thoroughly compatible with Christian life.
Go to our "Prayer for the Nations Index".
Private Revelation and Catholic Discernment
An important distinction should also be made.
The messages associated with Luz de Maria belong to the realm of private revelation. They are not part of the Deposit of Faith, and Catholics are not required to accept private revelations in the way they accept Sacred Scripture and the doctrines of the Church.
Readers should therefore approach such material with prayer, prudence and discernment.
Similarly, ecclesiastical permissions such as an Imprimatur should not automatically be interpreted as proof that every claimed apparition or supernatural communication has been formally declared authentic by the Catholic Church.
This distinction actually strengthens responsible discussion of the messages.
Faith does not require abandoning careful judgment.
Go to our "Prayer for the Nations Index".
Warnings Are Not the Same as Prayer Requests
Our research uncovered another issue that deserves special attention.
A country can be mentioned in a warning without being the subject of an explicit prayer request.
This was one of the reasons we substantially revised our original index.
Suppose, for example, a passage warns that Country A will suffer and then explicitly says:
“Pray for Country B.”
It would be inaccurate to place both countries in an index entitled Countries We Were Asked to Pray For without distinguishing them.
For that reason, our research now separates:
Direct Prayer
Prayer-Linked
Warning Only
This distinction may seem technical, but it protects the integrity of the project.
Our purpose should not be to make the messages appear more dramatic than they are.
It should be to document them as accurately as possible.
Go to our "Prayer for the Nations Index".
What This Index Does, and Does Not, Prove
This is perhaps the most important methodological point in the entire project.
Our research can establish that:
a particular geographical place appears in a published message;
the message carries a particular date;
the passage is attributed to a particular speaker;
the text explicitly requests prayer, or does not; and
the passage associates that place with a particular concern.
The index by itself cannot establish that:
a supernatural revelation actually occurred;
a later natural disaster was caused by or predicted by the message;
a particular warning was fulfilled;
or a country's frequency of appearance has supernatural significance.
Those are separate questions requiring different evidence.
For example, if a message calls for prayer for Japan concerning earthquakes and an earthquake subsequently occurs in Japan, the sequence is certainly something a reader may wish to investigate. But Japan experiences substantial seismic activity normally. Responsible research would need to consider earthquake magnitude, location, timing, and background seismic frequency before drawing conclusions.
That distinction is especially important if we later undertake a separate study comparing the messages with historical earthquake records.
Go to our "Prayer for the Nations Index".
A Worldwide Call to Intercession
Perhaps the greatest value of viewing these messages collectively is not discovering which country appears first, fifth, or fiftieth in a statistical ranking.
It is seeing the worldwide character of the call to prayer.
The collection moves from country to country and continent to continent.
At one moment the focus may be Mexico.
At another, Japan.
Then Chile.
Italy.
France.
The United States.
Central America.
The Caribbean.
The Middle East.
Or several nations together.
Yet the underlying response remains remarkably consistent:
Pray.
For Christians, this can serve as a reminder that prayer should extend beyond ourselves, our families and even our own country.
When another people suffer, Christians are called to care.
Go to our "Prayer for the Nations Index".
Turning Warnings Into Prayer
News of earthquakes, fires, floods, violence and war can leave us feeling powerless.
Prayer offers another response.
When we hear that a nation is suffering, perhaps our first question should not be:
“Was this predicted?”
Perhaps a better first question is:
“Have I prayed for the people who are suffering?”
That change in perspective is important.
Prophecy considered merely as prediction can become an exercise in curiosity. Prayer transforms concern into intercession.
And intercession turns our attention away from ourselves and toward God and neighbor.
Go to our "Prayer for the Nations Index".
Conclusion: Pray for Your Nation, and for the World
The messages published through Luz de Maria from 2009 through 2025 include an extensive, geographically diverse series of calls to prayer.
Some concern earthquakes and volcanoes.
Others concern water, storms, or fire.
Still others concern war, political turmoil, persecution, disease or suffering whose precise cause is not specified.
But beneath these different circumstances lies a recurring invitation:
pray for one another.
We can pray for our own country while remembering that our concern should not end at its borders.
We can pray for countries we have never visited.
We can pray for people whose language we do not speak.
We can pray for nations with which our own country disagrees.
We can pray for leaders.
We can pray for victims of war and natural disasters.
We can pray for peace.
And we can pray for conversion—beginning with our own.
Whatever conclusions an individual reader ultimately reaches concerning the private revelations attributed to Luz de Maria, the fundamental Christian principle remains worthy of reflection:
When our brothers and sisters suffer, we should pray for them.
As St. Paul wrote:
“Bear one another's burdens, and so you will fulfill the law of Christ.”
Galatians 6:2
May we therefore remember not only our own needs, but the needs of peoples throughout the world.
Pray for your family.
Pray for your community.
Pray for your nation.
And pray for all the nations of the world.
