The Story Behind Mother Mary's Image: Life is Serious!
We
believe this site is connected with the mission the Virgin Mary began at
Fatima, Portugal in 1917. She was sent then by the Holy Trinity as our
spiritual Mother. Mary was assigned this responsibility by Jesus when He
spoke to Mary and John as they stood at the foot of the cross: Woman,
behold your son. Then He said to the disciple, Behold, your
mother. (Jn. 19: 26-27) John represented all of us. In giving
Mary to him as spiritual Mother, Jesus was giving Mary to all of us as
our spiritual Mother. Jesus knew we would need a spiritual Mother to
help our souls grow in spiritual maturity. Since God the Father chose
Mary to be the Mother of Jesus, she must have great insight on how to help
us to lead holy lives pleasing to God. Have you thought about whether your
soul is pleasing to God? Our life here is a test. Are we working for eternal
happiness in heaven?
The Virgin Mary was sent to Fatima to lead her children back to God and His ways. Mary gave us Heaven's Peace Plan in 1917. Just as the Father sent His only Son Jesus into the world to teach us how to live in love with each other, Jesus has been sending His Mother to help us.
Her peace plan given at Fatima:
(1) Communion, confession (within 8 days before or after the Saturday), recitation of the rosary, and meditating for 15 minutes on the mysteries of the rosary. All this is to be done in a spirit of reparation.
Her plan given at Fatima has not been followed by enough people. Think about how the world has grown colder in our lifetimes. Can you go a day or a week without hearing some awful news? Do you feel safe in this world? We live in a world where children die in schools and nuclear weapons continue to spread. We still have time to turn back to God. We can still live the plan sent from Heaven for the children of the Earth. God will not change the peace plan given by His Mother at Fatima. He will stand behind her. Each of us must decide which path we choose on Earth. We must follow the narrow path given from Heaven, not a path of our own making. We believe that our Mother Mary is calling to her adopted spiritual children to remind them to care for their souls as well as their bodies. Please help us with your time, talent, or treasure. May God bless you and your loved ones now and into eternity!
