--------------------------------------------------------------------------- - "God Has Not Asked You to Worry This Day" by "Anne," a Lay Apostle --------------------------------------------------------------------------- "God Has Not Asked You to Worry This Day" by "Anne," a Lay Apostle Anne, a visionary from Ireland, has received permission from her local ordinary, Bishop Leo O'Reilly, for the distribution of messages which she receives from Jesus, God the Father, Our Blessed Mother, the angels and saints (see article, "Discernment of Lay Apostolate of Jesus Christ the Returning King," Marian Private Revelation section). – Ed. January 19, 2004 Jesus the King Dearest children in the world, you are afraid. I wish to alleviate fear entirely from your lives. Followers of the Light should never fear because man cannot diminish My Light. If you carry Me within you, there is nothing that can hurt your eternity. I will protect My Spirit within you and that is the only thing that should concern you, the loss of My Spirit. In this time of change, you must walk in the Light with determination. Children do not often fear because they rely on their parents for everything. When they face a problem, they run to their parents and place the problem with their parents, running off again to continue with their childlike pursuits. Take heed, dear ones. This is what We ask of you at this time. And We ask this for your own peace. This is the way to proceed during this time of change and transition. Soon, it will come naturally to you and you will have no need to remind yourself each day. http://www.motherofallpeoples.com/index.php?option=content&task=view&id=1071 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Litany of the Sacred Heart of Jesus by Traditional Catholic Devotion Lord, have mercy Christ, hear us God the Father of Heaven, Heart of Jesus, Son of the Eternal Father, http://www.motherofallpeoples.com/index.php?option=content&task=view&id=1068 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- "She Has Been Sent to Save the World" by The Lady of All Nations During her September 8, 1973 Eucharistic Experience (ecclesiastical approval, May 31, 2002, see "Church Approves Apparitions of the Lady of All Nations" article), Our Lord shows visionary Ida Peerdeman how important The Lady of All Nations is to the Church and to the World. He says, "She has been sent by Me," and "She has been sent to save the world." Our Lord admonishes us to "take Her back into your Church" and to continue praying the Prayer of the Lady of All Nations: "The prayer that She has taught you, has already yielded much fruit. Go on praying." As Our Lord says: "I have given you the guidelines. Do follow them and the Church will be great again." – Asst. Ed. During Holy Mass, immediately after the Offertory, I saw "the Light" coming over the whole altar and the priests. At the end of the Lord's Prayer I saw a heavenly vision. I was placed in a valley on a sort of hill, so that I could survey the surroundings. In the centre of that valley I saw a bare plain. I heard "the Voice" say:
http://www.motherofallpeoples.com/index.php?option=content&task=view&id=1065 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our Lady of America and the Present U.S. Situation by Fr. Peter Damian Fehlner, F.I. The following article is a homily delivered on August 5, 2006 by Fr. Peter Damian Fehlner, of the Franciscan Friars of the Immaculate, on the Feast of the Dedication of the Basilica of St. Mary Major. It was delivered at Our Lady of the Angels Monastery in the Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament in Hanceville, Alabama. – Ed. Our Lady of America. This is the title by which the Virgin Mother, in a series of private revelations and apparitions to Sr. Mary Ephrem Neuzil (1916-2000) of the Congregation of Sisters of the Most Precious Blood of Jesus, indicated how she wished to be known and honored in the United States, first of all in the Basilica-sanctuary of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C., national Shrine of Mary for the United States, and then in the entire American nation, as it were the connatural extension of this Marian sanctuary under this title. These revelations, locutions and apparitions began about 1938 and ended in 1984. The central ones, however, which concern the title Our Lady of America and the request that the Virgin Coredemptrix made of the Catholic bishops and of the entire nation, occurred over a six year period about a half-century ago, from 1954 through 1959. http://www.motherofallpeoples.com/index.php?option=content&task=view&id=1072 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- St. Michael and Michael’s Story by Michael What follows is a letter written by a young Marine to his mother while he was hospitalized after being wounded on a Korean battlefield in 1950. It came into the hands of a Navy Chaplain who read the letter before 5,000 Marines at a San Diego Naval Base in 1951. The Navy Chaplain had talked to the young man, to his mother, and to the Sergeant in charge of the patrol. This Navy Chaplain, Father Walter Muldy, assured anyone who asked, that this was a true story. This letter was read once a year in the 1960s over a midwestern radio station at Christmas time. We present the letter and let it stand on its own merits. Dear Mom, I wouldn't dare write this letter to anyone but you because no one else would believe it. Maybe even you will find it hard, but I have to tell somebody. http://www.motherofallpeoples.com/index.php?option=content&task=view&id=1063 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- A Response to Anti-Marianism by Gerard Morrissey The primary purpose of this article will be to refute two principal elements of anti-Marianism: Mary as the rival to Christ and Marian devotion as unecumenical. Let us begin with Mary as "the rival." Underlying this element of anti-Marianism is a fundamental presupposition: devotion to Christ is one thing (let us call it A), and devotion to Mary is another thing (let us call it B). http://www.motherofallpeoples.com/index.php?option=content&task=view&id=1064 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Consecration to the Holy Angels by Opus Angelorum O Holy Angels of God, here, in the presence of the Triune God and in the love of Jesus Christ, my Lord and Redeemer, I, N.N., a poor sinner, want to make a covenant with you, who are his servants, so that in union with you, I might work with humility and fortitude for the glory of God and the coming of his Kingdom. Therefore, I implore you to assist me, especially in the adoration of God and of the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar; in the contemplation of the word and the salvific works of God; in the imitation of Christ and in the love of his Cross in a spirit of expiation; in the faithful fulfillment of my mission within the Church, serving humbly after the example of Mary, my heavenly Mother, your Queen. And you, my good guardian angel, who continually behold the face of our Father in heaven, God entrusted me to you from the very beginning of my life. I thank you with all my heart for your loving care. I commit myself to you and promise you my love and fidelity. I beg you: protect me against my own weakness and against the attacks of the wicked spirits; enlighten my mind and my heart so that I may always know and accomplish the will of God; and lead me to union with God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen. The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith approved this Consecration prayer on May 31, 2000 for use in Opus Angelorum. http://www.motherofallpeoples.com/index.php?option=content&task=view&id=1066 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Virgin Mary and the Culture of Life by Donald DeMarco When The Gospel of Life (Evangelium Vitae) was released in 1995, John Paul's repeated references to the emergence of a "Culture of Death" received a great deal of attention. The Media, in particular, given its propensity for regarding "bad news" as "good news," assigned the "Culture of Death" a prominence that all but overshadowed the Holy Father's deeper and more important references to developing a "Culture of Life." It is not enough, said the Pope, to refrain from abortion, euthanasia, and other "crimes against life." We must work together in various spheres—including the political sphere (1)—as witnesses to the sanctity of life. "To be actively pro-life is to contribute to the renewal of society through the promotion of the common good." (2) The Media, as is well known, is fond of presenting the Church as always being against something, and therefore casting her in a negative light. Yet, the main theme of The Gospel of Life, as is sufficiently evident in its title, is not "The Culture of Death," but "The Gospel of Life." Accordingly, John Paul reminds us, on the encyclical's very first page, of the redemptive implications contained in Jesus' words: "I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly" (Jn. 10:10). http://www.motherofallpeoples.com/index.php?option=content&task=view&id=1067 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus by Jean Bainvel The treatment of this subject is divided into two parts:
Devotion to the Sacred Heart is but a special form of devotion to Jesus. We shall know just what it is and what distinguishes it when we ascertain its object, its foundations, and its proper act. http://www.motherofallpeoples.com/index.php?option=content&task=view&id=1069 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our Lady of Kibeho: Apparitions in Rwanda by Roy Abraham Varghese The Marian apparitions of Kibeho in Rwanda, perhaps the poorest country in Africa (one known also as the "Switzerland of Africa" for its many mountains), were witnessed by seven principal visionaries. The apparitions share many common features with the great apocalyptic visions of the past. As in the nineteenth-century French apparitions and at Fatima and Akita, the Virgin announced impending bloodshed on a horrific scale. Moreover, as in Medjugorje, the apparitions themselves took place in the very region that would shortly become synonymous around the world with genocide and systematic butchery. The warnings issued at Rwanda were not only prophetic but unmistakably accurate and, because they were not heeded, the fate of the nation seemed sealed; the Virgin finally even urged the visionaries to flee their homeland before the onset of the wars ahead. http://www.motherofallpeoples.com/index.php?option=content&task=view&id=1070 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Sacred Heart of Jesus Is the Sacred Heart of Mary by St. John Eudes The Virginal Heart of the Blessed Mother of Jesus has more love for her Dear Son than all the angels and saints together; thus the Sacred Heart of the Only Son of Mary is so full of love for His most loving Mother that He is more to her than all created things together. Let us offer to Jesus the Heart and love of His Blessed Mother in reparation for all our want of love and service towards Him. Let us offer to His most worthy Mother, who is also our Mother, the Heart and love of her Son in satisfaction for our ingratitude and infidelity towards her. http://www.motherofallpeoples.com/index.php?option=content&task=view&id=1073 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Heaven Speaks About Depression by "Anne," a Lay Apostle We would like to offer these words of encouragement and comfort from Heaven for those suffering from depression, given through "Anne," a lay apostle. "Anne" has received permission from her local ordinary, Bishop Leo O'Reilly, Bishop of Kilmore, Ireland, for the spreading of her messages, and has also submitted all her writings to the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (see article, "Discernment of Lay Apostolate of Jesus Christ the Returning King" in the Marian Private Revelation section). – Asst. Ed. August 8, 2005 I send the greatest graces of courage to all who read these words. My children in the world can become discouraged and sad. Dearest little ones, if you are this way you must come to Me and rest your worries in My heart. I do not like to see you sad, even though life can be difficult. You feel you are alone and that is part of the reason why you feel such sadness. But you are never alone because I never leave you. To leave you would be acting against My very nature and such a thing is impossible. I am with you now, as you read these words, and I minister to your wounded heart with graces of love and courage. Continue on and I will send you relief. I have told you this and you must believe Me. It would also be acting against My nature to tell an untruth so you may believe Me and trust Me when I say this to you. I will send you relief. Bring all of your sadness to Me. Pour it out to Me. I will listen and I will continue to listen for days and days and on into eternity if necessary. I have the time, My beloved apostle. I am not too busy to listen to you. You may cry if you wish because I assure you, when I lived upon the earth, I also cried. Pain is unavoidable until you arrive in heaven. You are not the only one who suffers in this way. There are many souls in your world today who are suffering the sadness that you are feeling. Your world does not always nourish souls. Only I, the Divine Healer, can heal you. I can give you nourishment that will set your soul alight again. Come to Me in all trust. Be patient while I see to your wounds and hurts. You did not become sad like this in a moment. Come to Me all throughout your day and allow Me to help you carry this heavy cross of sadness. http://www.motherofallpeoples.com/index.php?option=content&task=view&id=1062 --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Consecrate Yourself to Mary
Using the Consecration Prayer
of St. Louis-Marie de Montfort
I, (Name), a faithless sinner, renew and ratify today in your hands the vows of my Baptism; I renounce forever Satan, his pomps and works; and I give myself entirely to Jesus Christ, the Incarnate Wisdom, to carry my cross after Him all the days of my life, and to be more faithful to Him than I have ever been before.
In the presence of all the heavenly court I choose you this day for my Mother and Queen. I deliver and consecrate to you, as your slave, my body and soul, my goods, both interior and exterior, and even the value of all my good actions, past, present and future; leaving to you the entire and full right of disposing of me, and all that belongs to me, without exception, according to your good pleasure, for the greater glory of God, in time and in eternity.
