Star of Esther and Fatima

2024-07-31T13:01:11-04:00

Our Lady teaches with words and symbols. Every facet of her appearance is intentional. At Fatima, she wore the Star of Ester on her hem. This points to the importance of the 13th and the salvation wrought by the queen for her people just before the moment of complete destruction. In Esther, the Church Fathers saw a prefiguration of Our Lady. The Consecration of Russia will bring about Our Lady's great mediation so that the Church Universal honors her Immaculate Heart alongside the Sacred Heart.

The Holy Ghost and Our Lady

2024-06-17T17:36:38-04:00

Frequently pray the Church's three most important prayers to the Holy Ghost. In the time between the Ascension and Pentecost Our Lady humbly guided the Apostles. Our practice of praying novenas originates from these days. Our Lady is a most perfect Mother, and her concerns for us, her children, are centered on eternity, grace and sin. Christian Mothers, imitate HER! The Holy Ghost is particularly active in carrying out the Mission of Christ where – and in whom – He finds His Spouse, the Ever Virgin and Holy Mary.
