Among the many messages reportedly received from Heaven by the Catholic mystic Luz de Maria de Bonilla are repeated recommendations concerning two devotional preparations: the Oil of the Good Samaritan and the Oil of St. Michael the Archangel.
According to the English message archives published on Luz de Maria’s official website, these oils have been mentioned in communications attributed to Our Lord Jesus Christ, the Blessed Virgin Mary, and St. Michael the Archangel. They are presented within a broader call to conversion, prayer, sacramental life, prudent preparation, and trust in God during periods of disease and social upheaval.
The messages do not present the oils as substitutes for God, the sacraments, responsible medical care, or the conversion of the soul. Rather, they describe them as physical preparations drawn from creation and to be used with faith, prudence, and spiritual discernment.
Introduction
The earliest explicit reference to the Oil of the Good Samaritan in the published English messages appears in a vision received by Luz de Maria on June 3, 2016.
During this vision, Luz de Maria reportedly saw people suffering from highly contagious plagues. She saw a healthy person approach someone who was ill and become infected almost immediately. Luz de Maria then asked the Blessed Virgin Mary how these afflicted people could be helped.
The response was an instruction to use the Oil of the Good Samaritan. Luz de Maria was told that the necessary ingredients had already been given.
The official Luz de Maria website subsequently published a formula containing five essential oils:
Cinnamon
Clove
Lemon
Rosemary
Eucalyptus
These essential oils are diluted in a suitable carrier oil. The ministry’s instructions emphasize appropriate dilution, careful preparation, storage in a glass container away from light, and testing a small amount on the skin before broader use.
The name recalls Christ’s Parable of the Good Samaritan, in which the Samaritan pours oil and wine upon the wounds of the injured traveler and cares for him with compassion. Therefore, the oil carries both a practical association with bodily care and a spiritual reminder of mercy toward our neighbor.
The First Revelation of the Oil of the Good Samaritan
After its initial appearance in 2016, the Oil of the Good Samaritan is mentioned repeatedly in messages from 2019 onward.
In November 2019, a message attributed to the Blessed Virgin Mary warned that a plague was advancing and instructed the faithful to prepare the oil. The following month, another message discussed respiratory illnesses and advised using the oil on material chosen to cover the nose and mouth.
The recommendations became more frequent during 2020.
On January 28, 2020, the Blessed Virgin Mary reportedly gave specific directions concerning the application of a very small amount of the oil during an outbreak of highly contagious disease. The message recommended a pinhead-sized quantity on the earlobes when cases were present locally. If the number of infected people increased, application to the sides of the neck and the wrists was also mentioned.
On March 15, 2020, the Blessed Virgin reportedly called humanity to prayer during the developing pandemic. The message advised placing a drop of Good Samaritan Oil into blessed oil and using it to mark the frames of the front and rear doors of the home. Remaining in a state of grace was described as essential.
Additional messages in June, November, and December 2020 instructed the faithful to continue using the oil while placing their confidence in God and strengthening their spiritual lives.
These messages consistently joined practical preparation with prayer, conversion, obedience to God, and confidence in Divine Providence.
Repeated Recommendations Beginning in 2019
The Oil of St. Michael the Archangel is associated principally with geranium.
In a message attributed to Our Lord Jesus Christ on September 21, 2021, the faithful were told to keep the Oil of the Good Samaritan and the medicines that had been made known through the messages. They were also told to have geranium, which Jesus described as being called the Oil of St. Michael the Archangel by His children in honor of the beloved Archangel.
The preparation published by the Luz de Maria ministry combines geranium and lavender essential oils with coconut oil. It is described as a topical preparation intended for moderate application to the skin.
The name of St. Michael recalls his role as defender of God’s people and leader of the Heavenly Hosts. Within the messages, however, the oil is not portrayed as possessing independent or magical power. Its significance is inseparable from faith in God, prayer, humility, and the protection granted according to the Divine Will.
The Origin of the Oil of St. Michael the Archangel
On February 19, 2022, St. Michael the Archangel reportedly gave one of the clearest combined recommendations concerning the two oils.
The faithful were urged to have the medicines that Heaven had provided and to recognize that the use of sacramentals depends upon faith. St. Michael then named the Oil of the Good Samaritan, the Oil of St. Michael the Archangel, and calendula.
The same message emphasized the importance of strengthening the immune system and preparing spiritually for difficult events.
This passage is important because it places the oils within a wider framework. The message does not tell people merely to obtain physical supplies. It calls them to:
Develop a genuine life of faith.
Make use of the sacraments.
Remain spiritually prepared.
Strengthen the body prudently.
Trust in God rather than in material objects alone.
The remedies and oils are presented as aids, while faith and conversion remain central.
Both Oils Recommended Together
Several messages during 2023 returned to the oils.
On February 18, the Blessed Virgin Mary reportedly warned that pestilence would come again. She recommended keeping calendula available for the skin and applying a small amount of Good Samaritan Oil daily.
On March 6, she named calendula, fumitory, and the Oil of the Good Samaritan in connection with another approaching disease.
On March 17, St. Michael the Archangel described an illness characterized by high fever, respiratory tract issues, and dark or flaky skin. He recommended applying the Oil of St. Michael the Archangel to the skin, together with the use of fumitory and the Oil of the Good Samaritan.
Later, on September 12, St. Michael stated that the faithful had received the blessing of the Oil of the Good Samaritan and the oil bearing his name. He instructed them to use the oils, describing them as forms of protection.
A September 30 message again recommended the Oil of the Good Samaritan in connection with an approaching illness and the need to strengthen the immune system.
The Messages of 2023
The references became especially frequent in 2024.
In January, the Blessed Virgin Mary reportedly recommended Good Samaritan Oil, a pineapple preparation, vitamin C, and other measures intended to support the body’s defenses.
In April, Jesus reportedly warned that disease would spread and instructed the faithful to use the Oil of the Good Samaritan. Later that month, the Blessed Virgin described a highly contagious illness involving fever, bodily discomfort, cough, and skin wounds. Good Samaritan Oil and calendula were again recommended.
In June, St. Michael warned about illnesses associated with mosquitoes and other insects. The message included practical advice about protecting openings in the home and using Good Samaritan Oil.
In October, the Blessed Virgin spoke about a disease that would begin on the skin and progress internally, accompanied by bleeding. She advised having Good Samaritan Oil and calendula available.
Finally, in December, she warned that several illnesses would occur at the same time. She named the Oil of the Good Samaritan, the Oil of St. Michael the Archangel, calendula, passionflower, garlic, ginger, and honey among the preparations to be kept.
Further Recommendations in 2024
The two oils continued to be mentioned during 2025.
On February 28, St. Michael the Archangel reportedly instructed the faithful to use the Oils of the Good Samaritan and St. Michael the Archangel against approaching illnesses. In the same message, he called the faithful to remain spiritually alert, grow in faith, and invoke the assistance of the Heavenly Legions.
On October 20, the Blessed Virgin Mary emphasized the importance of strengthening the immune system in the face of serious illnesses already present on Earth. She again recommended Good Samaritan Oil and calendula cream for the skin.
These later messages show that the recommendations were not limited to one event or one period. They developed into a recurring part of the guidance reportedly given to Luz de Maria.
The Oils in the 2025 Messages
A central principle running throughout the messages is that a physical object must never be separated from faith in God.
The messages repeatedly connect the oils with:
Prayer
Repentance
Confession
Reception of the Holy Eucharist
Remaining in a state of grace
Spiritual preparedness
Charity toward others
Trust in Divine Providence
The oils are not presented as magical objects. Nor are they portrayed as replacements for personal conversion, the sacraments, medical evaluation, or responsible care.
This distinction is especially important for Catholics. Sacramentals and devotional objects are signs that dispose the faithful to receive grace and cooperate with God. Their proper use is rooted in faith, prayer, and conformity to the Divine Will. Not superstition!
Remedies, Sacramentals, and Faith
The title “Good Samaritan” points directly to the virtue of charity.
In Christ’s parable, the Samaritan does not pass by the wounded man. He approaches him, treats his wounds, carries him to safety, and assumes responsibility for his care.
The oil serves as a reminder that Christians are called not only to prepare themselves but also to care for their families, neighbors, the sick, and those in need.
Preparing an oil while refusing mercy to another person would contradict the very meaning of the Good Samaritan.
Its deepest lesson is therefore not simply self-protection. It is compassionate service.
The Spiritual Meaning of the Oil of the Good Samaritan
St. Michael the Archangel is traditionally invoked as the defender of the faithful in spiritual battle.
The oil bearing his name reminds believers to seek God’s protection, resist evil, reject sin, and remain faithful during times of confusion.
The messages attributed to St. Michael consistently emphasize that the greatest preparation is spiritual. The faithful are called to remain in God’s grace, pray sincerely, receive Christ in the Eucharist, obey the Commandments, and refuse to surrender to fear.
The oil may therefore be understood as a devotional reminder of spiritual vigilance and confidence in God’s protection.
The Spiritual Meaning of the Oil of St. Michael
Although the messages contain serious warnings, they repeatedly discourage panic and despair.
Their central invitation is to prepare with faith rather than fear.
For the Christian, preparation begins with the soul:
Returning to God
Confessing one’s sins
Forgiving others
Attending Holy Mass
Receiving the Eucharist worthily
Praying the Holy Rosary
Practicing charity
Remaining attentive to the needs of others
Practical preparation has its place, but it should remain subordinate to spiritual preparation.
No collection of supplies can replace a living relationship with Jesus Christ.
A Call to Preparation Without Fear
Catholics are not required to believe any private revelation, even when it receives favorable ecclesiastical consideration.
Public Revelation (the saving truth entrusted to the Church through Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition) was completed in Christ and the apostolic age.
Private revelations do not add to the deposit of faith. At their best, they call believers to live the Gospel more faithfully in a particular period of history.
The messages received by Luz de Maria should therefore be approached with prayer, prudence, and fidelity to the Catholic Church.
Nothing attributed to a private revelation should be interpreted in a manner that contradicts Scripture, authentic Catholic teaching, responsible medical care, or the proper exercise of reason.
Discernment and Private Revelation
The Oil of the Good Samaritan contains potent essential oils, including cinnamon and clove, which can irritate or injure the skin when improperly diluted. The Oil of St. Michael also contains essential oils intended for topical use.
These preparations should be used carefully and according to appropriate safety guidance. Essential oils should not be ingested unless directed by a qualified medical professional, and undiluted essential oils should not be placed directly on the skin.
Pregnant or nursing women, young children, people with allergies, and those with chronic medical conditions should obtain professional medical advice before using essential-oil preparations.
These devotional oils are not medicines approved to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent disease. They should never replace medical evaluation, prescribed treatment, vaccination decisions made with qualified healthcare professionals, or emergency care.
An Important Health and Safety Notice
The official English archives of Luz de Maria’s messages contain repeated references to the Oil of the Good Samaritan and the Oil of St. Michael the Archangel.
Beginning with the 2016 vision in which the Blessed Virgin reportedly revealed the use of the Oil of the Good Samaritan, the messages continued to recommend these preparations during subsequent warnings concerning disease.
The oils are consistently situated within a greater spiritual message: convert, pray, remain in a state of grace, receive the sacraments, practice charity, prepare prudently, and trust in God.
For those who prayerfully accept these private revelations, the oils may serve as devotional signs of God’s providence and of the resources found within creation. Yet the most important preparation remains the preparation of the soul.
The Christian’s ultimate security does not rest in an oil, herb, or physical object, but in Jesus Christ, His mercy, His grace, and faithful perseverance in His love.
