For today's feast of the Assumption: http://www.ourladyofamerica.com/whatsnew/TheAssumptionofMaryintoHeaven.pdf
I have a problem with this.... 'It is evident that the Forces of Evil are enveloping the world. Their hatred, however, is now particularly focused on the United States because of the Divine Mandate given to it to lead the world to peace'
...I have a clue: Because we must be extremely skeptical of any mandate we assume was given to the USA at her founding, due to the heavy masonic influence on early American history. I think Mark Mallett expressed it fairly well in his latest blog post.... http://www.markmallett.com/blog/the-fall-of-mystery-babylon/#more-15818
Well, if I may....in this world whenever there is the Divine Plan to be carried forth in any nation, but esp. one that has been so blessed as ours for a help to other nations....there is ALWAYS at the same time the force of evil to counter attack that purpose. Masonry is present throughout the world and we are no exception to its infiltration ....in fact it is the foundation for the long planned NWO on the whole so esp. America would as well have to be "conquered" by this opposition if that historical plan is to succeed. But the founders were men who wrote of religion in various forms but their main aim was for freedom of worship...there is also the noted "vision of George Washington" himself where he was shown the future of the country, in its major turmoils, (the last of which seems to be our current times) by one whose description has been surmised to be the Blessed Mother herself. We're dealing of course with the Principalities and Powers....a war that is coming to a certain culmination....the spiritual war. But to see only that evil endeavor working to dispel the true purpose for America would be to deny the opposition force of the Immaculate Heart of Mary or Immaculate Conception to whom this country has also been dedicated. The history of Maryland, our own civil war, the foundational sacrifices, and the now secular war against the remnant faithful all point to this ongoing struggle that would simply not have to be at all IF this country did NOT have a Divine Mandate from the beginning. It would have been a fait accompli from the beginning by the sinister forces. The call for all to turn BACK to her Son means that there was an origin to which we have not continued to be faithful....an intention that cannot be fulfilled unless this is done.
....Maybe so...But maybe not. The Catholic missionaries (in North & South America) are the strongest support for a Divine Mandate, and Our Lady of Guadalupe (Tepeyac), which is not in the USA. The establishment of the actual government, nation and economic/banking system of the USA, in particular, smacks more of a celebration of Protestantism combined with satanism. When learning American History in public schools as a kid in America, I was taught very little about the Catholic part of the formation of the nation. In fact, most people in the US today have no idea why so many southern and western US cities are named things like: -St. Augustine -St. Louis -San Diego -San Antonio -Corpus Christie -Los Angeles -Sacramento -San Franscisco -San Jose -St. Paul (One of the lone northern locations. Northern meaning more directly associated with the 13 original colonies.)
Excellent, MS7. From John 4: 34 Jesus said* to them, "My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to accomplish His work.
earthtoangels, I sincerely enjoyed your post and sense of conviction, but I must say your use (I presume you are unaware) of the term, "freedom of worship", made me shudder. The globalists in this country, including the President and Mrs. Clinton, are substituting this in place of the constitutional right to "freedom of religion". There is a fundamental difference between the two. One can back freedom of worship and simultaneously suppress religious expression outside of houses of worship. Freedom of religion is a guarantee of religious sentiment and expression in the public realm. Safe in the Flames of the Sacred Heart!
The founders sense of freedom to worship...or perhaps I should have said freedom to express their faith.... was of course extended to the market place as expression of individual faith. The founders themselves were writing, studying and expressing reasons for their various beliefs. We mustn't couch the surroundings of past generations and their expressions in the perverted use of the language of the politicians/secularists surrounding us today. That is why we say they are "perverting" what was always understood by said freedoms. An interesting bit of our Catholic history in our regions here: America’s First Mass May 13, 2014 When was it, where was it, and who said it? http://www.catholicworldreport.com/Item/3133/americas_first_mass.aspx
And of course the Spirit was certainly there: "That the conversion of the people he found was a central purpose of Christopher Columbus is made unmistakably clear by an entry in his log book written November 6, when he was exploring the coast of Cuba. It is addressed directly to Isabel and Fernando:" I have to say, Most Serene Princes, that if devout religious persons know the Indian language well, all these people would soon become Christians. Thus I pray to Our Lord that Your Highnesses will appoint persons of great diligence in order to bring to the Church such great numbers of peoples, and that they will convert these peoples. . . . And after your days, for we are all mortal, you will leave your realms in a very tranquil state, free from heresy and wickedness, and you will be well received before the Eternal Creator.[12] ......Christopher Columbus is the discoverer of America, and by that discovery ultimately responsible for America's evangelization; and for this we should forever honor him. http://www.catholiceducation.org/articles/history/world/wh0024.html
Bonaventure, thank you so much for posting this to remind everyone of the importance of the First Saturday Devotion. I feel so strongly about this knowing that even good Catholics either don't know about it or are very lax in doing it. This could also be a life offering - to make this devotion a part of the rest of your life - every First Saturday. We can do it in reparation for all those Catholics who don't do it as Our Mother has requested. Let us pay attention to what She has asked of us. God bless you.
He can't do it alone. That is why he is and must ask the cooperation of nations of good will to act, even with arms, to enable some kind of environment to even begin to hold back a type of Satanic destruction of lives and even nations. That is also why Pope JPII knew that he too needed the cooperation of the U.S. and its willing President Reagan to use the various means to have an effect against the axis of evil, the Soviet Union. And Reagan realized the great calling in American history. But there is the responsibility for Pope Francis to release the great source of grace in the Consecration of Russia. That is why these messages also emphasize an influence upon world events that has gone deliberately missing due to America doing nothing to the point that the time has passed for the involvement of world leaders to solve these now monumental problems and now MUST turn to God for help. And of course we all have a part to play esp. in prayer for Pope Francis and fasting for peace.
I dont look at things so much from a political point of view, USA is good, Russia is evil . Our Lady promises the triumph of her Immaculate Heart. Not the triumph of the USA. We may all yet be surprised how she will bring this about. Pope Francis cannot do it alone indeed, He must do it in union with all the Bishops of the world.Even if he has only a few who obey. As Russia has spread her errors throughout the world , it will be a converted Russia which will bring the world back to Catholicism.IMO. Agreed with this...' And of course we all have a part to play esp. in prayer for Pope Francis and fasting for peace.' or better yet as requested the first 5 Saturdays.
Let's start a Forum Rally for First Saturday Devotions....we have so many wonderful and devout Catholics here at MOG....we can accomplish so much right here for Our Lady....as the time gets closer, I will start a thread for First Five Saturday RALLY! We will begin in September...

LTTW: Mary and Her Pope 2. The Pope of the Third Millennium Mary: He always saw himself as one of many, and always tried to consider himself the least of all. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Pope Francis' pared back humble demeanour has taken locals in status-conscious, ostentatious, Korea by surprise. Having refused a Popemobile and instead requesting Korea’s smallest compact car, he arrived from the airport in a black Kia Soul that many South Koreans would consider beneath his status as a global figure.
