THE BLASPHEMIES TO MARY

Let me die in Christ. He was crucified. Let me offer myself as a sacrifice in the Mass with Him that I will rise to new life in Him. Through Him, With Him, and In Him.

All graces flow through Mary's heart. She is the Mediatrix for all grace. We must venerate her Immaculate Heart. She is the highest human person. She was created immaculate. He gives us a model to follow, one without sin. He raises her to such heights. She is His Mother.

By venerating her Immaculate Heart, we are recognizing the goodness of God, His love for His creatures and the heights to which He raises men. He raised Mary, a creature, to the Motherhood of God.

This shows us the dignity and honor He gives to men - He made Mary, a human person, the Mother of Jesus! He makes Mary the Mother of all men. He makes Mary the Mediatrix of all graces.

We are denying our own importance to God when we deny the fact that Mary was conceived without original sin. She is a human person. He so loved man that He created her spotless. Eve was without sin - Eve sinned; Mary is conceived immaculate - she is sinless - the new Eve.

The first blasphemy is against her Immaculate Conception. Mary's heart is pure, sinless. It is in her sinless heart, we can dwell deeply in His Heart. The devil has waged a war against Mary for he knows Mary is the gatekeeper of the Heart of Christ.

The second blasphemy:

Mary did not unite with a creature, she is the spouse of the Holy Spirit.

It is in this act, between Divinity and humanity, that the Son of God is born.

She is the spouse of the Holy Spirit. She is betrothed to Him.

The third blasphemy is against her as Mother of God. It is by loving through Mary's pure heart that we give great love to God. We want to love Him so much, in her pure heart, we love through her Immaculate Heart. We are sinners. She is sinless.

I understand her role as Mediatrix of all graces. He loves creatures so much He chooses Mary, a human person, to be the Mother of Jesus. She is the Mediatrix of all His graces.

To not recognize this is to not recognize the great dignity to which He has raised His creatures that He has chosen Mary to be the Mother of God. She is the Mediatrix of all graces. (We are not recognizing our own dignity if we do not recognize that Mary is given this great gift from God. This is how God loves His creatures).

God raises man to such heights that He creates him in His own image and likeness. Adam sinned against God; God is faithful to His promises. God sends a Redeemer to save man from their sins.

God enters the world in a human creature, Mary. By denying the Immaculate Heart of Mary, we are denying our own dignity and honor. God wishes us to venerate and make reparation to her Immaculate Heart - to do so is to see the great dignity and honor and love God has for His creatures.

She is the highest human person. She is the New Eve. She is conceived without original sin. She is a virgin, espoused to the Holy Spirit. She is the Mother of God. Her heart is invisibly pierced with a sword. She walks the Passion with our Lord.

To know Mary, to love her, to see her great dignity and honor, is to know His love for His creatures, to know more His love for us.

To hate Mary is to not recognize God's great love for us.

She is the highest, created, human person. She is our model. She is Mary, Immaculate, Mother of the human race. She is a human person and He raises her to all these heights. People who do not honor Mary do not understand the greatness which God has given to His beloved creatures. We miss the love God has for us.

It is to miss our own dignity and honor. He makes her the Mediatrix of all graces-all life flows through her. Man is united to God in her womb. Oh, holy, holy womb of Mary. Mary, Immaculate, conceived without sin, virgin, betrothed to the Holy Spirit.

It is the work of the devil to blaspheme Mary in her Immaculate Conception, virginity, and against her as Mother of God.

When I understand the great love God has for Mary, the great dignity and honor He gives to Mary, I understand more fully His great love for me. Mary is the highest human person. In recognizing Mary in her specialness to God, I recognize His specialness for me.

There are five blasphemies against Mary. They are against her Immaculate Conception, against her virginity, against her as the Mother of God, against her images and statues, against her as mother of her children. Some little children are taught ugly things about their heavenly Mother. Some little children are taught to hate her.

The rosary is the story of the love of God for His creatures. His love is perfectly communicated in the Persons of the Trinity. He wishes to share His love and goodness with man.

In giving such great dignity to Mary, God adds to the dignity of each of us. The devil has tried to divide men from their Mother. Some priests and religious do not honor Mary. Some members of the Church do not honor Mary. Not to honor Mary is not to properly recognize our own dignity. We do not recognize the heights to which God raises His creatures. She is the model. He gives to her the role as Mediatrix of all graces - as co-redemptrix, she shares in Jesus' role. She is so united to her Son.

The message of Fatima says this: God wishes the Immaculate Heart of Mary to be venerated next to His Sacred Heart. We must venerate her heart next to His. Her heart is so closely joined to His. Her heart is immaculate. She was conceived without sin. She is a virgin. All are to recognize the close union Jesus wants with His creatures. He came into this world with a Heart of deepest love. This is how God loved this world. Jesus' Heart is a symbol of this love. His Heart was formed in the womb of Mary. Jesus wants His Heart venerated with the heart of Mary. In this way, He shows His intense love for us, His creatures. He raises us to such heights. He is so closely linked with the highest human person. He wants His Heart venerated with His Mother's heart. His Mother's heart is the key to His Heart. This is our little heaven on earth. How could sinful men enter the Heart of Christ? We go to the heart of Mary, she is the sinless one. We give ourselves completely to her that we will be able to go to the deepest chamber of His Heart. Her heart is sinless.

To me, the message of Fatima is this: Here is God - Here is Man. God, in His goodness and love, creates man, and man sins against God. God so loves His creatures He comes into the world, His Heart formed in the womb of a creature.

Mary is the highest human person. To not recognize Mary, her Immaculate Heart, and the fact that she is a virgin, espoused to the Holy Spirit, is to miss a big link between God and His creatures. We cannot go deeply into His Heart unless we go through the sinless one, Mary. He made her a human person entirely sinless and pure. Divinity unites to humanity in the heart of Mary.

He wishes His Heart to be venerated next to hers because of His great love for us. To not recognize Mary is to miss our own dignity and honor and the love He has for us. We were created to know, love, and serve God. We are creatures - He is God.

Heaven is a gift given to us from the Supreme Being, God. We must realize that if we go to heaven it is because of His great love for us.

To not recognize Mary, her Immaculate Heart, the virgin birth, Mary as Mother of God, is to have pride in our hearts. We are creatures, He is our Creator. It is to not see the connection between God and man. Divinity is joined to humanity. God, the Son of God, becomes man. His Divinity is joined to our humanity in the Incarnation. She is the Mother of God!

She is a virgin (espoused to the Holy Spirit), and she is immaculate - conceived without sin.

God has entrusted to Mary the peace of the world. Mary appears at Fatima and tells us her peace plan. It is centered in 1. consecrating our hearts to Jesus and Mary, 2. the rosary, 3. first Saturday devotion, 4. making reparation to Their Hearts. If what Mary has asked for is observed, we will have peace. If she is ignored, we will not have peace.

In reparation, we give ourselves as a holy sacrifice at the Mass. We unite at Holy Communion in the deepest union with God and tell Him we want to help make reparation to His adorable Heart. This is a most pleasing offering to the Father. We want to help make reparation for the blasphemies against her heart. Whether the world has war or peace depends on Mary's peace plan.

In the Shepherds of Christ Movement, we are telling people about consecrating their hearts to Jesus and Mary. If enough people give their hearts to Jesus and Mary, we will have peace. Their hearts, then, will be hearts of love and will respond in love to all difficulties and turn to God. If most people do not respond to Mary's plan and remain bitter and hateful in their hearts, we will have war. The heart determines our actions. Hearts consecrated to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary are hearts of love. Hearts that are filled with bitterness and hatred will respond with hate and start wars.

It is a great gift to be called to be an apostle in the Shepherds of Christ Movement and spread His love to the world.

Mary said that until a sufficient number have consecrated their hearts to Jesus and Mary, we will not have peace in the world.

This is good news, we must try to spread this Movement to the world. Fr. Carter is reaching the priests in his spirituality newsletter. It is centered in consecrating the priests' hearts to Jesus and Mary.

We are reaching the sisters and brothers in a newsletter for religious, written by a sister and Fr. Carter. We have prayer chapters all over the world praying for priests and consecrating their hearts to Jesus and Mary. We have adult chapters and children chapters.

Jesus is my refuge and my life. It is in Him I live. His Mother is my Mother. She is the highest human person. How tenderly He loves His creatures that He gave to her the gift of becoming Mother of God. A creature becomes the Mother of God! It is in realizing this mystery more, I see His immense love for me.

He gives to Mary the gift of being born without sin. She is a human person. She is sinless.

She is our model, and she is our Mother. She is immaculate. He raises her to be so pure and holy. It is in blaspheming her that we are hurting ourselves for she is our beloved Mother. In blaspheming her, we do not realize the great dignity and honor that God raises man when He gives this great gift to her.

Notes: The most perfect sacrifice, the most efficacious prayer, is, of course, the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass offered to God.
