Our Lady of America - her time has come

We are not alone, there is nothing new under the sun, there is a time and a season for everything. 

Did you have a mother who always seemed to know when trouble was a foot in the house hold. When one or more of the children was getting out of line and even before the rebellious act took place?? The Mother of God would be much better at knowing her childrens need for correction than us earthly Moms. 

There is an apparition of Our lady that took place over fifty years ago. It has been approved by the Bishop for over fifty years. The Mother of God has called the children of America to Purity. This was taking place while the most serious sexual rebellion in history was also taking place. 

This was taking place in the late 50’s.  I came across this message 15 years ago.  All I could imagine is that this poor nun and our Mother were truly ignored and very out dated. I also thought we are well beyond a call to purity. I was wrong, as I have been many times, I was so very wrong. At this point in history I believe the call to purity must be sounded louder than ever. I believe that life has become so dark many more people will want to look for a remedy in order that we might save some of those who are so confused about the meaning of life and the natural law.  For what purpose were we created and who shall decide what happens to creation. Man and woman he created them both. 

I am urging anyone who reads this blog to go to Ourladyofamerica.org. Read and listen to the entire article. Understand that the grace needed for us to turn this ship around comes from a Mother who is vigilant and expects the church to back up all the lay people who work tirelessly to educate the world on the Christian meaning of life. The only way to be happy on this earth and even happier with God in heaven. We have a lot to do and a lot to go through but the spokes are all in place. We need the Bishops and the Pope to join us and fulfill Mothers request to enshrine Our Lady of America at the Immaculate Conception Shrine in Washington DC. 

Write letters, pray, make acts of reparation, incite others to do the same. Our ship has listed as far as it can go, lets use our weighty prayers and petitions to the vatican to right this wonderful ship and sail proudly to the world as One Holy Catholic and Apostolic  Church. The time is now the hour is late, nothing is impossible for God. When Our lady appeared in Portugal she said there would not be war on there soil and there was no war on there soil when the entire world was at war. She has promised miracles, she will provide as any mother would. She will comfort the sinner and the saint. She will provide the grace of Love, insuring all her children return to the foot of the cross. 

Jesus said to me,"Love will bring all mankind to my feet." His loving Mother will teach us how to love him.  The world will be ready for another  generation. A peaceful, nonviolent generation capable of fulfilling the request of Christ, "Love one and other as I have loved you."

"My people no longer know the difference between the truth and a lie".

"The Supreme Court Ruling today June 26, 2015, has degraded the Institution of Marriage".  As we continue to legislate the death of our children, our family and our society, Cardinal Sean O'Malley has this to say;

As a citizen of the United States and a Catholic bishop, I am saddened by the Supreme Court decision on same sex marriage.

The institution of marriage understood in its human, moral and legal dimensions is a fundamental building block of any society. The protection of marriage and families is a shared responsibility for all of us.

In a pluralistic society we inevitability face disagreements about important political and legal questions. But our division over this question in its moral, political and legal significance is particularly painful.

Certainly every citizen of this land, regardless of their sexual orientation, deserves to be respected in their personal and civic life. But enshrining same sex marriage in our constitutional system of governance has dangers that may become fully evident only over time.

I can only express my disappointment with the decision and invite members of my own religious community to remember and reaffirm the fundamental truths of our faith about marriage. At the same time, faced with a decision that embodies a quite different understanding of the meaning of marriage than held by the Church, we should as citizens and Catholics both protect our own deeply held values and participate with civility and charity in the continuing national discussion about this decision.

Feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary

"And Mary kept all of these things, reflecting on them in her heart."  Luke 2:19

                                  Mercy and Punishment

I have pondered these words and have tried to understand if God really does punish us.  I heard Jesus speak these words, "we have distorted the meaning of Mercy", several months ago. I have passed these words on to others and pondered them myself for several months.  I have a book of readings from Divine Mercy that I read almost daily.  The answer is clear in St. Faustina's Diary.

I was introduced to St. Faustina and the message of Divine Mercy twenty-five years ago. My favorite line was and still is, "The greatest sinner deserves my mercy the most".  For all mankind that promise from Jesus should open the door of the soul and bring about the greatest sigh of relief as well as a purging of sin.  Unfortunately some people believe that there is no need to confess and do penance for our sins, as Jesus says over and over again in his words to St. Faustina, "Trust in my Mercy".  There is however a follow up.  On June 11 in the book I am following by Fr. George W. Kossicki, C. S. B., this is what I read.

"O my God, even in the punishments You send down upon the earth I see the abyss of Your mercy, for by punishing us here on earth You free us from eternal punishment.  Rejoice, all you creatures, for you are closer to God in his infinite mercy than a baby in a mother's heart.  Oh God You are compassion itself, for the greatest sinners, WHO SINCERELY REPENT. (Key to the understanding of Divine Mercy).  The greater the sinner, the greater his right to God's mercy. (423) This also answers the question, does God really send punishment on us?  Yes he does and for good reason. 

We have been given a great and royal priesthood, amazing men have given there lives over to God for our sake, for the sake of our souls and the purpose of purifying us through the sacraments in order that we may have eternal life with Jesus in heaven.  Pray hard for them, they are more necessary to your soul than food and shelter. 

Not long ago I said to Jesus, "My life is such a mess I must need some very well qualified psychiatrist or doctor.  His words to me, "Under every white collar I am the healer".  And so it is true, a courageous priest and a determined person can accomplish the healing necessary for anyone.  

May Gods will be done in all of our lives, Margaret of Souls for Jesus.

Solemnity of the Sacred Heart

As I contemplate the coming Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus I look at this statue that has been in my family since the late 1800' s. I don't know the exact history of how or who brought it into the family but when you entered the dinning room of Uncle David and Aunt Gin there he stood. There were 4 children on my father's side of the family. One boy and 3 girls. Bud, my father, passed away in 1975. His sister Virginia four years ago in her early 90's and now sister, Kathleen will be laid to rest on June 11, 2015. The day before the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart. 

I correlate all of this with the article on marriage and Pope Francis as I ponder what my ancestors are thinking when in the year 2015 we are defending the rights of children to male and female parents. Who purchased this statue? Why was it kept in the family for so many years? It symbolizes faith, mercy, morality, Catholic Christian values. I consider it a great gift as it was passed on to me by Aunt Virginia and her son Peter. I have dozens of cousins.  How many of us darken the doors of the Catholic Church?  My family is the new normal.  One or two church goers, everyone else no longer interested.  What are we trading in our eternal lives for?  What is more freeing than love for God, neighbor and family.  

I imagine my two Aunts, Kathleen with 9 children and Gin with 7 saying, thanks Marg for appreciating who we are and how we lived our lives. Faith and courage are synonymous. How does one have courage without faith?  The women of the past had faith enough to bring forth life.
