Consecration of Russia to Immaculate Heart of Mary Friday

Excellent point.

 

HH, thanks for this post… you captured my thoughts exactly with this. No disrespect meant to anyone, but the hand wringing over the was starting to trouble me… God is in charge. Not just time to trust Him, but do our best to be “Christian”… true followers of Christ. It means, like Christ, we will still be on the path to Calvary and the Cross. But, this is the only means of Salvation and our Resurrection. Courage!

 

my thoughts exactly HH.....

 

Oh boy Julia….so many difficult changes in your life now, yet you in your faithfulness pursue God’s will for your future. Good for you and I’m glad you got that priest’s attention about the consecration….see, even some priest are clueless. Hopefully, no longer! Not at least in Julias new church! Lol!

 

Soooo true!

 

Beautifully said.

 

How difficult a time for you Julia and how good of you to clue in the new priest. A chance for Our Lady to shower him with graces. I was unable to go to the consecration too. I had a commitment to the 40 Days for Life to do an hour at the abortion clinic right during that time. But I was able to attend a morning Rosary service at my parish and very grateful for it.
I think you are doing very bravely with your new circumstances. Are you moving closer to your children?

 

Watched the video...
Dr Marshall makes the point...
In light of the pachamama scandal, was the title chosen particularly because of it's ambiguity..."Earth of Heaven"?
He calls it "weaponized ambiguity"
The title "earthly heaven" is both used for Our Lady by ancient saints, and by modern day pachamama worshipers for the pachamama.

He (Dr. Marshall) is not schismatic.

The intent is what matters in the consecration.
Mormons use the Trinitarian formula to baptize..."In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit" but their baptisms are not valid because they mean something very different when referring to God as Father etc.
The words are correct, but the intent is flawed.


We can not judge the intent of the Holy Father...As Christians we are required to assume the best intentions.

So we just trust that God has this in His hands.

I agree with this statement, non sum dignus.

I believe Dr Marshall was able to apply what three great saints have stated about our Lady being the undefiled, untilled earth that the second Adam, Our Lord Jesus, came to earth through. Our Lady, is the Earth of Heaven and the only Earth of Heaven, as Bishop Schneider pointed out.

He (Bishop Schneider) is not schismatic, either. Since been informed by Bishop Schneider, I don't see this title of Our Lady, as weaponized ambiguity. As far as the pachawhoa is concerned who has nothing to do with Jesus, nor anything Immaculate, nor heaven in anyway, the pachawhoa is totally irrelevant, in my opinion.

 

I think we must not forget that the Consecration was carried out on the Feast of the Annunciation, the day that Our Lady accepted the Lord's request that she be the soil in which the Holy Ghost would ensure that she would conceive her Heavenly Son. This leaves very little room for ambiguity, in my opinion. After all, we invoke an agrarian image every time we say the Hail Mary-"Blessed is the fruit of they womb".

 

Dr Marshall is not schismatic. His views were set straight by Bishop Athanasius Schneider in this matter. It’s a matter of record on this forum.
I wasn’t referring to Dr Marshall in my post, by the way.

 

For all the members of the Confraternity of Our Lady of Fatima.

I just wanted to reach out to let you know that the fifth obligation to pray that the Holy Father consecrate Russia has ended.

The prayer cards are no longer valid and will be removed.

The Pope has made the explicit Consecration of Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary in union with the bishops of the world.

In the days ahead, Bishop Schneider will write a new prayer for us, and it will be clearer what we need to do and be thinking about as we strive for the Reign of Mary.

This is from an email from Bishop Schneider's Confraternity.

 

If the consecration is accepted by heaven then Russia will be converted soon to the Catholic faith this year, 2022.

 

I've seen a few articles recently in the lead up to the consecration by Pope Francis on Friday, mentioning that Blessed Alexandrina Maria da Costa was influential in persuading Pope Pius XII to consecrate the world to the Immaculate Heart of Mary in 1942.
Below is an extract from Leo Madigan's book on Blessed Alexandrina.

"How the World may be Saved

Alexandrina’s love was universal. She ardently desired that all sinners be converted and that the world become a more godly place. How was this to be done? As a result of praying for sinners she told her spiritual director, in 1935, “Jesus asked me that the entire world be consecrated to the Immaculate Heart of Mary”.
Some European nations had made the consecration to Our Lady, especially in the 18th century. Now there were those who were asking that the consecration be made, not only of individual nations, but of the whole world, so that it could turn away from sin. Alexandrina, who loved the world, longed for the day when, through the intercession of Mary, all peoples be converted and the world see new times of peace. Her spiritual director, Fr. Mariano, the Jesuit, had made this desire into a reality. He presented the petition to Cardinal Pacelli, Secretary of State for the Vatican. Also the Portuguese bishops, in 1938, presented the same petition, “We humbly ask that, at an opportune time, the entire world be consecrated to Mary, so that it be saved from the great dangers which are gathering”.
Alexandrina was interviewed by a delegate sent from Rome. In the meantime Pius XI died and Cardinal Pacelli was elected Pope and took the papal name, Pius XII. Alexandrina continued to insist on this consecration. And so on the 31st October 1942, the Pope made an act of consecration of the world to Mary in the Portuguese language, repeating it in Italian on the 8th December. In the formula he used Marian titles which had been revealed to Alexandrina, Queen of the World, Queen of Peace, Lady of Victory, or Victrix of Great Battles, Mother of the Universe.
It is interesting to compare this consecration of the world to Mary with that which was being asked for at the same time by Sister Lucia, the seer of Fatima. She was asking the Pope to consecrate Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary in unison with all the bishops of the world. This wasn’t to be done in the way that it had been asked for until the pontificate of John Paul II, a great devotee of Our Lady of Fatima.
The consecration of the world to God through the intercession of Mary is an eloquent way of solemnly affirming the primacy of God over all things and all peoples collectively. In this affirmation lies the happiness of all men who come into the world."

 

Thank you dear Josephite, and other members here, for having posted the videos of Archbishop Athanasius Schneider and Dr. Taylor Marshal. I found these very reassuring.

 

Ok, thanks for the clarification.
To hear Dr. Marshall's thoughts today...


I think (and only my worthless opinion) in a way he is right...
The conversion of Russia will be sudden, obviously miraculous.
But I think God brings it about through the great Warning.

 

I've had that feeling, that the warning will be very soon because of the Consecration.

 

I believe the consecration should set in motion a chain of events that will lead to the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart, in God's time. I hope it will be this year, but as always, I would be careful with timelines.
I find it interesting that Fr. Malachi Martin, who knew the Third Secret of Fatima, explicitly stated in an interview (available on YouTube) that the Third Secret has to do with Kiev and Moscow. This has proven to be true, with amazing precision. Seeing this fact in unison with Fr. Martin's book Windswept House (in which he predicted a forced or 'nudged' resignation of the Holy Father), I find this to be enough evidence to take Fr. Martin's other predictions (based on Vatican insider knowledge) very seriously.
In the same interview in which Malachi Martin stated the Third Secret has to do with Kiev and Moscow, he made further predictions: Salvation is to come from the East, Fr. Martin said. I don't know why God chose Russia and Ukraine, I wouldn't have if I was God, but then again I am not God, Fr. Martin added. Providing details would take him to far afield into Papal secrets, Fr. Martin said.
Given the statement about the Third Secret of Fatima by the Holy Father St. John Paul II in Fulda in 1980 in front of a group of German Catholics, where the Holy Father alluded to the Third Secret having to do with "the world power of communism (Russia)" making "certain moves", I imagine the Third Secret has to do with a war lead by Russia. This is also in line with the prophecies of Elena Aiello, and precisely what we are seeing right now.
Further considering the prophecy of Akita ("fire will fall from the sky and wipe out a great part of humanity" such that the "survivors will find themselves so desolate they will envy the dead"), I imagine we are still in for a very rough ride in the short term (the "Chastisement"). But eventually this very war that we are seeing will bring about the long-awaited Triumph of the Immaculata.
We will see. Interesting times ahead!
God bless you all on this forum, and your families! Let us keep each other in prayer.

 

I now realise I have been deficient Michael! Please forgive me.

Bishop Schneider actually stated 4 saints (not 3 saints) who venerated Our lady as the virgin earth bringing forth the God Man, The other saint was St John Damascus (the last of the fathers of the Church)!

I have had a special devotion to St John Damascus, so how could I have missed this! due to my human frailty and incompetence, the Lord has made me aware of my human weakness. God Be Praised!

I think God allows this truth to invade us , so that He can gift us with humility, thereby giving us a chance to grow in grace!

God bless us all Amen.
