Greetings in Jesus and Mary....

Tomorrow is the blessed feast of the Most Holy Rosary!  If we all knew the efficacy of the Most Holy Rosary, we would pray as many as Padre Pio did! We need to look at his example. Below, I have posted a YouTube video of the Gregorian Chant of the Rosary that I play often in my home when I am canning my produce or just doing some work around the house. Latin, it is said, is more efficacious against the demons. Fr. Ripperger is stated as saying that the demons flee when the exorcisms are done in Latin vs. a vernacular language.....it is the language of the Roman Catholic Church.

Worth noting is a quote from Sr. Lucia to Fr. Fuentes...."Our Lady has given a new efficacy to the recitation of the Most Holy Rosary....She has given this efficacy to such an extent that there is no problem, no matter how difficult it is, whether temporal or above all spiritual, in the personal life of each one of us, of our families, of the families of the world, or of the religious communities, or even of the life of peoples or nations that cannot be solved by the Rosary."

I will share a true story just recently given to me by my sister in law who is a teacher at a Catholic High School in the Detroit area. She is new to this school as of this school year. She has free rosaries along with instruction pamphlets available to any student who finishes his work early and has free time before class ends. One student came up and chose a rosary and asked her about its prayers and what it exactly was because he never was taught the rosary.  He then volunteered to tell her that he had a rosary tattoo. He chose a rosary tattoo because he liked the image even though he knew nothing about it (until now!). He then proceeded to a place in the classroom to kneel and pray the prayers of the rosary before class ended. He went to her when class ended to tell her that he did not finish. He asked if he could finish it later and she said yes....just pick up where you left off. Please pray for this young man and that more young people throughout the world who are hungering for Truth will find it. (His name is Trell)...(I just texted her to ask for the correct spelling of his name and she said another young man took a rosary today named Caleb) GOD IS GOOD!

May we pray the Rosary with great love and confidence knowing that Our Lady is listening to our prayers and that She is a good and tender Mother. Be sure to thank the Most Holy Trinity for the gifts of Our Mother and all the graces that She bestows upon us throughout our days and entire lives. Know that there are so many graces that Heaven wants to shower upon the world....but CAN NOT...because we DO NOT ASK FOR THEM!   May we pray with confidence knowing that God wants all of us to be saints through the prayers and intercession of our good Mother Mary.

Below is the link to these messages and also a link found on this website regarding the miracles that have occurred with the praying of the Most Holy Rosary! May these stories give us hope and increase our faith and love during these trying times.

Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary, pray for all of us!

Greetings in Jesus and Mary....

October 3rd is the Feast Day of St. Therese of the Child Jesus and of the Holy Face in the pre-Vatican II calendar. (Like most things, changes happened to almost everything after Vatican II) Since I live out of the old 1962 Missal, the old calendar is what I follow. 

This saint is known as the “Little Flower” –  – this expression is to explain the whole concept of the Carmelite Order as being a garden of prayer for warriors who pray in imitation of Our Lady. Also, in her name she takes “Child Jesus” – her humility, her littleness and unconditional love as a little child are virtues we can all ask Our Blessed Mother for and imitate.

The devotion of the Holy Face is so very powerful and a devotion of Reparation. Little St. Therese was all of these, a humble prayer warrior devoted to reparation!

Below is one of my favorite of her prayers that she has written  that sums up who she really is:

Act of Oblation to Merciful Love
O my God!  Most Blessed Trinity, I desire to Love You and make You Loved, to work for the glory of Holy Church by saving souls on earth and liberating those suffering in purgatory.  I desire to accomplish Your will perfectly and to reach the degree of glory You have prepared for me in Your Kingdom.  I desire, in a word, to be a saint, but I feel my helplessness and I beg You, O my God!  To be Yourself my Sanctity! Since You loved me so much as to give me Your only Son as my Savior and my Spouse, the infinite treasures of His merits are mine.  I offer them to You with gladness, begging You to look on me only in the Face of Jesus and in His Heart burning with Love.

I offer You, too, all the merits of the saints (in heaven and on earth), their acts of Love, and those of the holy angels.  Finally, I offer to You, O Blessed Trinity! the Love and merits of the Blessed Virgin, my dear Mother.  It is to her that I abandon my offering, begging her to present it to You.  Her Divine Son, my Beloved Spouse, told us in the days of His mortal life: “Whatsoever you ask the Father in My name He will give it to you!”  I am certain, then, that You will grant my desires; I know, O my God!  that the more You want to give, the more You make us desire.  I feel in my heart immense desires and it is with confidence I ask You to come and take possession of my soul.  Ah!  I cannot receive Holy Communion as often as I desire, but, Lord, are You not all-powerful?  Remain in me as in a tabernacle and never separate Yourself from Your little victim.

I want to console You for the ingratitude of the wicked, and I beg of You to take away my freedom to displease You.  If through weakness I sometimes fall, may Your Divine Glance cleanse my soul immediately, consuming all my imperfections like the fire that transforms everything into itself. I thank You, O my God!  For all the graces You have granted me, especially the grace of making me pass through the crucible of suffering.  It is with joy I shall contemplate You on the last day carrying the scepter of Your Cross.  Since You deigned to give me a share in this very precious Cross, I hope in heaven to resemble You and to see shining in my glorified body the sacred stigmata of Your Passion.

After earth’s Exile, I hope to go and enjoy You in the Fatherland, but I do not want to lay up merits for heaven.  I want to work for Your Love alone with the one purpose of pleasing You, consoling Your Sacred Heart, and saving souls who will love You eternally.  In the evening of this life, I shall appear before You with empty hands, for I do not ask You, Lord, to count my works.  All our justice is stained in Your eyes.  I wish, then, to be clothed in Your own Justice and to receive from Your Love the eternal possession of Yourself.  I want no other Throne, no other Crown but You, my Beloved!  Time is nothing in Your eyes, and a single day is like a thousand years.  You can, then, in one instant prepare me to appear before You.In order to live in one single act of perfect Love, I OFFER MYSELF AS A VICTIM OF HOLOCAUST TO YOUR MERCIFUL LOVE, asking You to consume me incessantly, allowing the waves of infinite tenderness shut up within You to overflow into my soul, and that thus I may become a martyr of Your Love, O my God!

May this martyrdom, after having prepared me to appear before You, finally cause me to die and may my soul take its flight without any delay into the eternal embrace of Your Merciful Love. I want, O my Beloved, at each beat of my heart to renew this offering to You and infinite number of times, until the shadows having disappeared I may be able to tell You of my Love in an Eternal Face to Face!  AMEN

Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, pray for us!
St. Therese, pray for us and all priests!

Greetings in Jesus and Mary...

As we all know, just a few days ago, Bishop Sheen was beatified. What to think of this? We know that the Church has gone through so much turmoil since the Second Vatican Council and being that we have many years to look back at....we can now see its fruits. On this website under "Devotions" and "Latin Mass".....you will find many pieces of proof that we were/are infiltrated by the Freemasons to see this day as we see it today. Yesterday was the feast of St. Michael and as we know, Pope Leo XIII had a vision of Our Lord and Satan regarding the next 100 years. Our Lord gave Satan time to TRY to destroy the Church. As a remedy, Pope Leo XIII gave us the St. Michael prayer to be said after EACH Mass.....of course.....we know that with all the damage the Freemasons have done.....this prayer HAD TO BE ABOLISHED after the New Mass as well.

I have posted a link below of an interview done by Bishop Fulton Sheen in 1970 with Mr. Buckley's show Firing Line. It will give you a picture of where Bishop Fulton Sheen was at that time....shortly after the Council.

I have MANY of Bishop Fulton Sheen's books and of course the pre-Vatican II books are my favorites. I think God graced him tremendously but SOMETHING happened to him after Vatican II.  It looks as though he had bought the "Hope" that modernizing the Church would lead to an increase of understanding and consequently more people from the world ...to the Church...not understanding that the modernism of the world would SWALLOW much of the Church.

I would love to see his, Fr. Hardon and Fr. Healy's (Carmelite) opinion of the Church today ....now that one can see that we are destroying, selling and closing Catholic Churches around the world because of NO vocations and NO faithful who want anything to do with the Catholic Church.

In contrast....those young families and older faithful who are practicing the PRE VATICAN II Catholic Faith ..ARE...faithful and actually practicing their faith with the real Mass and the true Traditions that carried us through all of these centuries!!!

In the below video, the great disappointments in this debate or Q & A were.....Sheen mentions NOTHING of our duty to God...it is all centered on humanity and ITS NEEDS.  What happened to Jesus truly present in the Holy Eucharist and no mention of Our Lady and/or her requests at Fatima....has all that disappeared?   VERY SAD AND DISAPPOINTING.....MANY GOOD CATHOLICS....lived in this "Hope" of modernizing the Church in order to see it grow.....and in light of the warnings of Pope St. Pius X.....IT DID NOT......IT DID THE OPPOSITE.

It is very appropriate that God in His infinite wisdom ALLOWED the Society of St. Pius X to take his name....in order to make it clear to all of us that the incorrupt saintly Pope (Pope St. Pius X) was CORRECT in condemning modernism and calling it the synthesis of ALL HERESIES!

God allowed this to happen because of the lack of faith and love in placing God first and replacing it with the world ...... and it is a great shame that the Church men that we thought were our leaders were really and truly compromised.

Blessed Bishop Fulton Sheen will always have a place in my heart for all that he gave to the Church....I love many of his books....he helped many souls....BUT....may we pray for his soul and all those who died in the Church embracing modernism.

NOTE:  My own opinion of why this beatification has occurred at this time and not earlier......because Bishop Fulton Sheen is viewed as a traditionalist (and rightly so for all that he wrote and preached for the majority of his priestly life) but he embraced the modernism of the Second Vatican Council and this is an important message to be sent from Rome for those who argue that the fruits and ideas of the Council were not good for the Church. (They are still trying to send out a message of "Hope" that the Second Vatican Council ideas will prove to be good for the Church....BUT.....at this time, many dioceses are set to close scores of churches next year....in ten years time....what will remain?)

Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary, pray for us!
Pope St. Pius X, pray for us!
All ye holy angels and saints, pray for us!!

Greetings in Jesus and Mary.....

I hope all are well. We are now officially in Fall, 2026. Everything around us is crumbling and giving us signs that a chastisement is any day now. Mothers killing their own children....wars that never seem to end.....economies that are tanking...children hating their parents for giving them a childhood with God...girls wanting to transition to boys and visa versa....abortions till birth and killing them even after birth....spraying our skies with poison and manipulating the weather for the worse....and last but not least....our Roman Catholic Church in a Great Apostasy. One might ask, "Where are you God?" He is here and is suffering with us. Our Blessed Mother has never shed so many tears with us. We need to pray and be faithful...we need to offer reparation...especially those prayers of reparation given to us at Fatima.

We are in the Novena to St. Therese for October 3rd. May she shower many roses of love and grace from the thrones of Jesus and Mary toward the earth and upon our families.

I am sharing with you a video I happened to see today.....it is the best 6 minute video I have ever seen. It shows God's true love...His real meaning in our lives.  I also want to share the below story of Blessed Imelda with this video because after watching it, I thought of her love. These bring to mind God's instant love for those who truly HUNGER for Him. I know God has a purpose for all of us and it is so beautiful that this priest in the video and Blessed Imelda were here on this earth to show all of us, in a very unique way ..... that GOD IS LOVE!

Enjoy and may Blessed Imelda and St. Therese pray for all of us to love God above all things and to trust in His constant Presence and grace and protection!
Our Lady, Mother of us all, pray for your suffering children to seek God!

Blessed Imelda Lambertini (1322–1333) was a noble Italian girl born in Bologna who became the Patron Saint of First Communicants due to her profound devotion to the Eucharist. From the age of five, she desired to receive Holy Communion, but was denied because the customary minimum age was twelve to fourteen. At nine, she entered a Dominican convent, yet her longing for the sacrament remained intense, often asking if one could receive Jesus into their heart without dying of joy.

On May 12, 1333, the Feast of the Ascension, the eleven-year-old Imelda remained in the chapel after Mass, weeping over her exclusion. The nuns returned to find a Sacred Host suspended in the air above her head, a miracle recognized as divine permission. The chaplain placed the Host on a paten, allowing Imelda to receive her First Holy Communion.
​
Overcome with ecstatic joy and love, Imelda died instantly on her knees immediately after receiving the Eucharist. Her body was later found incorrupt, and she is venerated as a model of childlike piety and fervent First Communion. Her feast day is celebrated on May 12.

Greetings in Jesus and Mary....

Blessed late Feast days of the Exaltation of the Cross and Sorrowful Mother. This is a time to make reparation to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary for all that we see going on as we head into the days prophesized by so many prophets. What we should do is turn to Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary Who is appointed the Destroyer of all heresies to crush the head of the serpent. We must pray the Rosary daily with a great desire to aid Our Blessed Mother in another victory for Christendom in crushing Modernism which is the synthesis of all heresies....

We see these heresies springing up throughout the world and especially in the Roman Catholic Church coming right from Rome at the present time. Our Lady has come many times to warn us with Her tears but yet the majority of mankind remains indifferent. Rome has silenced many of Her warnings because of its infiltration by the enemy. They do not want to listen to the prophets of doom. The results of this silence of Truth and the embracing of modernism has been a great apostasy...a great falling away. Men continue to spurn God's grace and live independently of Him. We will not see peace until many of us pray and make reparation for people to turn back to God in a great conversion and begin to love Him above all things.

I was just witnessing today the beautiful clear blue skies only to see a great plume of white chemtrail cross it from one end to another...the largest I have ever seen with no more trails in sight....just this very large one. I was going to capture it on my phone after I came out of the post office but it was already greatly dissipated into a great white blur causing the skies to be hazy. (The one pictured above does not do it justice) This poisoning of a blue sky is a great analogy of the world...we see the purity that God has given us only to be destroyed with our own will of wanting to be God and alter His world. This leads to destruction. I have posted a geoengineering report below to let you see the update on where we are with messing up the planet.

The other great threat which is also a tool used for geoengineering is AI. As we have seen, it is being used to present fake audios, videos and images....it can impersonate people. It can manipulate public opinion causing a wide variety of end results. It can also be weaponized in biological and chemical warfare. It enables mass monitoring and tracks human behaviors. This can be so dangerous that an OpenAI former employee as well as an Anthropic CEO were stating recently, "Yes, AI might really kill us all."

Prayer and obedience to Our Lady's messages are critical now. We must get ourselves spiritually ready for anything to happen. We all see the signs and know that the time is drawing near for God to intervene with what is happening here on the planet. Below are a couple of videos to help us understand the seriousness of the times.

​In the end, Her Immaculate Heart will Triumph!

Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us.

Greetings in Jesus and Mary....

In the Angelic Salutation we address Our Lady by saying, "Holy Mary"! We repeat the words day after day and even hurry over them, but do we think of the true meaning and the sublime force of these words as we are addressing the most highly-favored of the children of God!

Who can appraise the holiness of the one chosen to be the Mother of God? What must have been the sanctity of Her who would be the only near relation of the Blessed Trinity? What graces must have adorned the soul of Her who was divinely chosen to care for the Divine Child as He grew in wisdom and grace! Our Lord Jesus Christ is Mary's Son. Our Lord's human actions possessed a special sanctity because they were the actions of One Who was God Himself. And all of Mary's thoughts, words, and actions, all of Her desires and longings of Her Immaculate Soul were influenced by Her Immaculate Conception and Her union with Her Divine Son. Her entire life, as well as its various details, take their value from this union. She is God's Mother! We can not comprehend the richness of grace and sanctity that must have been and still is Hers. No wonder She was honored with Her Assumption! No wonder She was exalted by being crowned Queen of both Heaven and Earth with a crown of twelve stars! No wonder She is called Mediatrix of All Graces. No wonder She is called Co-Redemptrix with Our Lord because of Her sublime union with His Heart during His Passion!

During Her entire life, She has been asked to intercede for us. What words can tell the full force of Mary's power of intercession? Mary gave to God His human nature. Christ, Our Lord, was born of Her; flesh of Her flesh; blood of Her blood; bone of Her bone. Our Lord is Mediator by His own right and merits; but we have secondary mediators - that of the saints and God has given Mary a special rank among those saints as being their Mother as well. She has been appointed by God to be the Mediatrix of All Grace. She intercedes for us. She pleads for us. May we thank God for such a beautiful Mother and for being an All Wise God Who knew we needed Her!

It is only right that we should on Mary's birthday talk about the privilege and reason for Her birth. She would want it no other way. Jesus was Her life. The sublime fact that She gave God everything including Her virginity is so sublime. God is so good that He could arrange for Her to offer Her virginity and still allow Her to be the Mother of God. We read in Holy Scripture that there is a song which is sung only by the virgins in their Heavenly home. We are told that they "follow the Lamb withersoever He goeth. They are purchased from among men, the first fruits to God and to the Lamb." (Apoc. 14, 4) This is so beautiful to meditate upon in light of the scandals that we see plagued in the Church today. May we pray especially for the Church and its leaders that they may not only be pure but holy examples for the people of God!

St. Bernard writes: "No one will doubt that this song shall be sung by Her who is the Queen of Virgins, and that in this singing She will take the lead. But it seems to me, that, besides this song in which all the virgins join with their Queen, there is another more sweet and more sublime with which she alone shall gladden the City of God. No one else, even among the virgins, shall be found worthy to utter the melodious modulations of this second song. This is a right which belongs to Her alone who, alone among virgins, rejoices in being a mother, and in being the Mother of God. But She does not glory in herself; rather only in Him to Whom She has given birth. She glories in the Lord Who has made Himself Her Son, and Who, having prepared a singular glory for His Mother in Heaven, willed also to endow Her on earth with a singular grace whereby, in an ineffable manner She might conceive and bring forth without prejudice to Her virginity.

For the only nativity worthy of God was that which made Him Son of the Virgin, as the only Motherhood worthy of the Virgin was that which made Her Mother of God."  (Super Missus Est, Hom, 2, 1)

Thank you St. Bernard for your love of God and Our Lady! What an example you are for today and may none of us Catholics lose hope and find ourselves despairing over what is happening in the Church today. We have the saints - they are real and they hear our prayers. We were made for Heaven not this earth. Let our hearts and minds be lifted to Heaven. God will not be defeated. We are living in amazing times. It is time for true heroism and we are called to be those heroes. Let us lift our hearts and minds to God and beg Him through the intercession of our Queen and Mother and all the great saints before us to help our Church, its priests and its laity. May we rise from this calamity and seek holiness for ourselves and the Church.

Happy Birthday sweet Mother of God, continue to intercede for us and to pray for us. May God preserve the virgins today and call more to virginity - O Holy Virgin Mother of God - we love You and we thank our Heavenly Father for You!

Greetings in Jesus and Mary.....

We are already in September, the month of the Sorrowful Mother. I will begin this month with this post on Akita, Japan apparitions of Sr. Sasagawa. Sr. Sasagawa died on August 15, 2024 at 93 years of age. She was silenced just like Sr. Lucia of Fatima by the Vatican....WHY? Worse than this, the Church has allowed Sr. Sasagawa's body to be cremated (Was the Real Sr. Lucia also cremated??) 

Before Sr. Sasagawa died....she stressed the following....

1. Be repentant
2. Pray to God with a pure heart
3. Turn your life over to God
4. Become Catholic
5. Know the mercy of God
6. Amend your life
7. Know that God is trying to save us from a great chastisement through
the intercession of Our Blessed Mother

The supernatural solution to fight freemasonry (Satan's government) was revealed at Fatima with the message of praying the Rosary daily. This message was silenced by Rome and the Third Secret was not revealed in 1960 as Our Lady of Fatima had requested (nor was the Consecration of Russia done properly). Our Lady chose to give us the Third Secret of Fatima message to Sr. Sasagawa in 1973 (13 years later) because Our Mother loves us and wants us warned.... Are the messages of Fatima and Akita truly related? Many think so. I am curious as to why Our Lady chose Japan (which was bombed by nuclear weapons), why She stated God would chastise by fire, why did She come on October 13...the miracle of the sun (which could be interpreted as the means of chastisement to come)....are they all connected to warn God's children to repent, pray, and make sacrifices.

In August 1973, Our Lady told Sr. Sasagawa that God the Father was "preparing to inflict a great chastisement on all mankind," but "prayer, penance and courageous sacrifices can soften the Father's anger."

Mary repeated that message on October 13, 1973, and also said that "fire will fall from the sky and will wipe out a great part of humanity," and called for daily recitation of the rosary. She also warned that the devil would infiltrate the church, with "cardinals opposing cardinals, bishops against bishops" and "priests who venerate me will be scorned and condemned by their confreres."

Below are two videos to help understand this message and its messenger. May we pray the Rosary daily, wear and promote enrollment in the Brown Scapular for Our Lady's protection and take heed to Our Blessed Mother's warnings.

Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us!
Sr. Lucia and Sr. Agnes Sasagawa, pray for us!

Greetings in Jesus and Mary...

Well, It seems that Europe is preparing their people for war. Things usually start  in Europe before  they reach USA. The entire world needs to be aware that everything is on the brink of collapse.


There was a day, in the not so distant past when "preppers" were considered tin foil hat conspiracy thinkers.....someone to ridicule and most certainly ignore. Usually, they were the same people who refused the "shot" because they were not trusting the "science". NOW....Germany is distributing a 40 page very thorough pamphlet with lists of supplies and instructions for many scenarios of possible disasters..... A PREPPER HANDOUT!

I have included below a link of an Austrian prepper who is bringing this news of Germany. Also, below is the 40 page instruction booklet that you can download and print for yourself because if you live in the USA, you will not likely get such warnings from your government.

May we be aware of what lies ahead and take heed to preparing ourselves.....not only physically but mentally and spiritually. Pray your daily Rosary for peace as Our Lady has asked us to do. Pray it with others and share this information with them so that all can be prepared.

Some weekend soon, try not to use electricity and see what you would need if the power goes out. What is lacking in your home? Take the instructions seriously in the German booklet and obtain these items. Take time to search the internet for items before they are not available and so you are ready.

Most importantly, if the Sacred Heart of Jesus has not been enthroned in your home. prepare to have a priest come and bless your home and enthrone the Sacred Heart with a blessed picture in a prominent place....very SOON if possible.  I will include the enthronement prayers link below.

Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary, pray for us!
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us!

Greetings in Jesus and Mary.....

Today is the Feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Today I want to focus on the love our Blessed Mother has for Her priest sons. There is so much to focus on when we meditate on the love found in the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary.

With all the scandal regarding the Church today; we need to focus on the need for Reparation and the love God has for the souls that are suppose to lead others. These sins of the flesh which Our Lady of Fatima told St. Jacinta lead more souls to Hell than any other sin, have been festering in the Church for A LONG TIME! When all of this first started to surface a few years back, I had to ask Mary for the grace to love these priests with Her Heart because it was not in mine. I could not find it in me to pray for them! But the reality is... the love for these sinners, especially the clergy, and their salvation has always been in the Heart of Mary. This is a great great love in the Heart of Mary because they are to walk in persona Christi. They are Her most precious children! Jesus came for all sinners, therefore Mary loves them all.  Jesus shed His blood and died for each single sinner who would ever live upon this earth. Mary suffered and sorrowed for each one, she yearned after all, as Christ died for all. May we too love sinners (not the sin) since it is fulfilling our love of neighbor.  Let us remember that it is by love that we will do this, by practical working love, by the kind word, by the good advice, by the good example, by patience, by compassion, by sacrifice, by the sacraments, by the many ways with which we can bring the Precious Blood to be applied to souls through our prayers. Like Mary, we need to meditate upon the love that Jesus has for souls and especially those of His priests. He does not want souls in the snares of Satan's net; including our own! To think of the loss of a priest to Hell is unthinkable. To be in Hell with the indelible mark of the priesthood has to be the worst. Like Our Mother Mary, let us have compassion and pray fervently for these men.

Souls are precious to Jesus, therefore they are precious to Mary. If a soul has sinned, it is Jesus who is injured by that sin. We should meditate on the hunger Jesus and Mary have for each and every soul and only then will we find strength. In order to imitate Our Lady's love for our neighbor, we must, like Her, surrender ourselves irrevocably to Christ; we must never shrink from suffering. The cross is the measure of God's love for us and the sum total of our love for God. Only when we have understood Mary's martyrdom will we comprehend the greatness of Christ's love for His Mother and the intensity of Her love for Her Son. She is Co-Redemptrix because of Her unity of sorrow and pain during the entire Passion of Her Son. 

She prays for sinners. She sacrifices for sinners. She suffers for sinners. This is God's will for Her and it is God's will for us. This is the sharing of Christ's cross which we are all called to do. Mary's progress in virtue, her humility, her detachment from earth's unsatisfactory gifts, her willingness to suffer, her interior joy in bearing the cross --- this is Her imitation of Jesus Christ through the resignation to His will. Praying for someone that has caused horrific sin is a cross! It is very difficult! We can not do it on our own - we must pray for a spark of love from the Heart of Mary, the Mediatrix of ALL Graces, to find this love and strength to do this for God's Glory and their salvation!

Our sanctity must be built on the same foundation as Mary. The one, single, priority of our lives should be, even at the price of martyrdom, conformity to God's will. We advance in vice rather than virtue when we do our own will. May we, like Mary, choose to do the Will of God and suffer and pray for sinners - beginning with ourselves. May we make strong resolutions to try to be free from sin before we can offer ourselves to God in prayer and reparation for others. We must not fall into discouragement though. We must not let Satan keep us from this most sublime calling. If we spend our days praying and offering reparation; God will apply it to ourselves as well. It is in giving that we receive! Let us live in imitation of Mary and be obedient to Her requests at Fatima to pray and make sacrifices for sinners. Let God do the rest. Do not stop or halt this work because of your own sins. Keep focused on the Hearts of Jesus and Mary and pray, pray, pray so that souls will not be lost for all eternity! Trust in the goodness of our dear Mother Mary....and Her Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart to keep you and guide you as you consecrate yourself to Her Heart!

For the Greater Glory of God and for the Salvation of Souls - Let us imitate Mary!
Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary - please pray for us and help ALL of us!
