Bishops Consecrate U.S. to the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary on November 11, 2006...
"My children, it is only because many years ago you
consecrated your country to Me* that you have not received the destruction that
is gradually coming closer to you from the outside world. But if you turn from
Me now I no longer will be able to shield you." - Our Lady of the Roses, July
1, 1971
*In 1846, eight years before Pope Pius IX proclaimed
the dogma of the Immaculate Conception, the Sixth Council of Baltimore formally
chose the Blessed Virgin Mary conceived without sin as the Patroness of the
United States.
The [Philadelphia] Catholic Standard and Times reported:
In an historic event, the United States of America was consecrated to the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary by the U.S. bishops on Saturday, Nov. 11 at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception.
It was the first time the country has been consecrated specifically to the Sorrowful and Immaculate heart of Mary, according to Michael La Corte, the executive director of the World Apostolate of Fatima USA, who requested that the papal nuncio, Archbishop Pietro Sambi, celebrate the Mass of consecration.
“According to the message of Fatima the answer is not just a human approach,” La Corte said. The quest for peace also calls for a spiritual response and divine help, he said.
The Blessed Mother, in her Fatima apparitions, requested more devotion to her Immaculate Heart, specifically through the First Saturday devotions [See page 35 for more on First Saturdays] in reparation for sins, and she repeatedly noted that through the rosary peace would come to the world, La Corte said.
That’s why, the World Apostolate of Fatima USA, a lay association dedicated to spreading the message of Fatima, especially the First Saturday practice, sponsored and coordinated the Consecration Mass held in the nation’s capital.
Bishop David Rickens, the bishop of Cheyenne, Wyo., led the consecration prayer in the name of all the U.S. Bishops.
The consecration prayer was originally written by the U.S. bishops in 1959, when they blessed the national basilica and took that opportunity to consecrate the United States to the Immaculate Conception.
The same prayer was used and the country was reconsecrated to the Immaculate Conception this month, and two additional invocations were used to consecrate the nation to the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary as well.
“When a consecration occurs it is to set aside something for a sacred purpose,” Father Mark Moretti, president of the World Apostolate of Fatima USA, told the congregation. “Through the consecration today, our nation has been set aside, and so have each one of you.” In a special way, he urged the young people to seek holiness and purity.
“The late Pope John Paul II said Fatima is more important today than it was in 1917,” said Franciscan Friar of the Renewal Father Andrew Apostoli, during his homily.
Pope John Paul made that proclamation after his assassination attempt in May 13, 1981, on the feast of Our Lady of Fatima. He credited the Blessed Mother with saving his life.
As he lay in his hospital bed following the shooting, he asked for all the documents on Fatima, and thoroughly studied them before making his prophetic statement. He was even more sure of that after he spoke with his would-be assassin, who assured the pope that he was a professional assassin and that he never missed, Father Andrew continued.
“Mehmet Ali Agca asked whose feast day they were celebrating that day, because whoever it was saved him,” Father Andrew said.
Pope John Paul made a visit to Fatima a year later, on May 13, 1982 to personally thank Our Lady of Fatima. He brought with him the bullet that missed his major internal organs, and placed it in her crown.
Pope John Paul II knew that the message of Fatima holds the answer for peace in the world today, Father Andrew said.
“The times we live in are crucial to our country, and our Church,” he said. “We have the war in Iraq, conflict in Afghanistan. … [and] here in the United States, the sacredness of life is no longer an inalienable right.”
Marriage and family life are under attack; abortion has taken the life of 40 million in this country since 1973; infanticide is legal through partial birth abortion; medical testing is available to determine whether a fetus has disabilities so a woman may abort the child; euthanasia, or assisted suicide, which is legal in Oregon and Texas with other states in pursuit, is eliminating persons with disabilities and the elderly.
Quoting the late Catholic apologist, Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen, he said: “‘If we don’t stop the destruction of life, we’ll come to midnight. That is nuclear war, in which there will be a total disregard for life.’”
Father Andrew added, “We can’t stop this. We need the protection of Mary. We need her to put her mantle around our country.”
Add to that the immorality plaguing the United State — and which the U.S. exports through its entertainment industry — and it is obvious that the need for a conversion of heart is crucial.
Divorce, cohabitation, gay pride, pornography, the scandal in the priesthood, rampant secularism that has even entered the Church, and an indifference and ignorance of the faith among Catholics, are all hurting the Church and the world, Father Andrew said. “We are being called to a renewal.”
That renewal will come through Mary and through true conversion, prayer, fasting and devotion to the rosary, he said.
“Mary suffered spiritually all that Jesus suffered — she bore the stigmata in her heart,” Father Andrew said. “She is truly sharing in the role of redemption. That’s why we call her Co-Redemptrist.”
Mary assisted in the role of redemption, he said. Mary’s faith moved Jesus to perform that first miracle at the wedding at Cana, and by doing so sent Jesus to the cross. But she also followed.
“She continues to obtain graces for us, and we need grace to do what she last says in Scripture: ‘Do whatever he tells you.’”
Noting the presence of the papal nuncio for the consecration, Father Andrew said it signified the deep love Pope Benedict XVI has for Fatima and the United States, recalling the Pope’s own words in closing his homily: “Learn the message of Fatima, study the message of Fatima and live the message of Fatima.”
The papal nuncio added his own sentiments, describing his devotion to Mary from the beginning of his priesthood.
“I decided to become a priest under the eyes of the Blessed Mother called the Lady of All Graces,” Archbishop Sambi said at the close of the Mass. “I would like to entrust to you a confidence. Every day of my life, I have felt upon me the love of the Blessed Mother. Not a single day of my life have I lost hope in the Blessed Mother.”
He recalled his years of service in the Holy Land, where he spent countless hours in prayer at the Church of Golgotha, contemplating the Passion of Christ in the very place where it took place.
“I understood that the Blessed Mother belongs to me, and that I belong to her,” the Italian Archbishop said. “I say to you, Mary will guide you to Jesus Christ.”
Thousands of people joined Archbishop Sambi and Bishop Rickens in thanking the Blessed Trinity for the gift of Mary, and placing the country in her hands. Millions more joined the consecration by viewing a live EWTN broadcast on television and the Internet.
The Knights of Columbus led the procession, and the basilica’s choir provided angelic songs of prayer. Pilgrims from all over the country, including various religious communities and diocesan priests, were in attendance, and prayed the rosary together before the Mass. Many were visibly moved by the celebration.
Most U.S. bishops were not present because of prior engagements, including the scheduled bishops’ conference meeting, but more than two-thirds signed the consecration prayer with more signatures still arriving.
“There’s no doubt the consecration is going to bring so many graces,” Father Andrew said, echoing the sentiments of those present.
And looking at the history of national Marian consecration’s, there is good reason for such hope.
During World War I, Francis Cardinal Bourne, the Primate of England, consecrated that country to the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary, in hopes of bringing peace. He claimed — and many others as well — that it stopped World War I.
The Armistice for the First World War was signed after the consecration on Nov. 11. It was, incidentally, the same day the papal nuncio chose to officiate the Mass for the United States. Portugal was also consecrated to the Immaculate Heart of Mary before World War II, and it was protected from the war.
“My prayer is that this consecration opens the door for Our Lady to come in and change the hearts and minds of people … and bring an era of peace,” La Corte said.
“This has been one of the most glorious Masses I’ve ever been at in my life,” Father Moretti said in his closing remarks. “It makes you be proud to be Catholic.”
Prayer for Renewal of Consecration
to Our Patroness of the United States of America, the Immaculate Conception
Most Holy Trinity: Our Father in Heaven, who chose Mary as the fairest of your daughters; Holy Spirit, who chose Mary as Your spouse; God the Son, who chose Mary as Your Mother; in union with Mary, we adore Your majesty and acknowledge Your supreme, eternal dominion and authority.
Most Holy Trinity, we put the United States of America into the hands of Mary Immaculate in order that she may present the country to You. Through her we wish to thank You for the great resources of this land and for the freedom, which has been its heritage. Through the intercession of Mary, have mercy on the Catholic Church in America. Grant us peace. Have mercy on our President and on all the officers of our government. Grant us a fruitful economy born of justice and charity. Have mercy on capital and industry and labor. Protect the family life of the nation. Guard the precious gift of many religious vocations. Through the intercession of our Mother, have mercy on the sick, the poor, the tempted, sinners — on all who are in need.
Mary, Immaculate Virgin, Our Mother, patroness of our land, we praise you and honor you and give our country and ourselves to your sorrowful and immaculate heart. O Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary, pierced by the sword of sorrow prophesized by Simeon, save us from degeneration, disaster and war. Protect us from all harm. O Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary, you who bore the sufferings of your Son in the depths of your heart, be our advocate. Pray for us, that acting always according to your will and the will of your divine Son, we may live and die pleasing to God. Amen.
"To give Me honor does not detract or take from the honor to My Son. I say this, My child, to you and My children in all humility. I, your Mother, I, too, am but an instrument of the Father in Heaven. My Son has chosen to send Me to you as a Mediatrix between your world and the world of the Father." - Our Lady of the Roses, December 24, 1974
The amazing
Bayside Prophecies...
https://www.tldm.org/Bayside/default.htm
These prophecies came from Jesus, Mary, and the saints to
Veronica Lueken at Bayside, NY, from 1968 to 1995.
IN UNISON WITH ALL THE
BISHOPS
"I repeat from My Mother Her words to the world some time ago--and I
believe, My child, you have been a voice-box before and a means for Heaven to
transport this message to the world--that is, that the Holy Father in Rome, in
unison with all of the bishops of the world, must consecrate Russia to the
Immaculate Heart of My Mother." - Jesus, March 18, 1989
RED HORSE
"The red horse is war! And war is in the balance next, My child. And what can
you do about this? This is My direction from Heaven—and
We hope, My children, that you will get this out to the world—unless
the bishops and the Holy Father in unity with all the bishops of the world—unless
they consecrate Russia to My Mother's Immaculate Heart, the world will be
doomed! Because Russia will continue to spread her errors throughout the world,
rising up wars and carnage and pestilence and famine." - Jesus, June 17, 1989
DIE
"My priests of the world, I say to you now: you must listen to My voice from
Heaven. You must consecrate Russia to My Immaculate Heart or you will die." -
Our Lady, April 14, 1984
COMMUNISM
"My child and My children, since the world no longer considers the tiny little
babies as being important to life, they no longer will consider the necessity to
have the elderly and infirm among us. That is communism, My children! They will
destroy the elderly; they will destroy the newborn, and they will destroy anyone
who gets in their way." - Jesus, September 14, 1985
PEN OR PROSE
"Russia has but one plan: to capture the whole world. They will do this without
heart or conscience. Therefore, know that I ask you again, as your God in the
Trinity, I ask you to contact the Holy Father—through
pen or prose, or the written script—to
contact the Holy Father and beg him to consecrate Russia to the Immaculate Heart
of My Mother. This has not been done, My children." - Jesus, May 17, 1986
MOTHER OF GRACE
"My child and My children, I have come to you under many names in the past, but
I want you to acknowledge Me as the Mother of Grace. Because that is why I come
to you now, My children: to give you the graces necessary to remain upon earth
in a state of purity and perseverance, and knowledgeable to the truth that will
lead you and keep you on the narrow road to Heaven." - Our Lady, September
14, 1985
CO-REDEMPTRIX
"You will not stop the words of My Mother. She is your Co-Redemptrix, and as
such, it is She Who has been given the mission to bring you back onto the road
to the Kingdom. Without Her you will be lost." - Jesus, August 5, 1974
PROTECTRESS
"I come to you as a Protectress of peace." - Our Lady, October2, 1990
SHIELD
"I ask you for a constant vigil of prayer so that satan will not enter upon you.
You must now say when you arise: I will protect myself with the shield of
the Immaculate Conception. You will say before you enter your bed (which
will not be a bed of security and comfort now): I protect myself with the
shield of the Immaculate Conception. For, My children, when you sleep he
does not sleep." - Our Lady, July 1, 1971
MANTLE OF LOVE
"My children, as a Mother, My heart is torn for you. O mothers who come to Me,
hearts bleeding in sorrow, I will comfort you, for I, too, know the suffering of
loss. Come to Me, all you who sorrow and weep for your children, for I will
place My mantle of love and comfort upon you. Come to Me, and I will lighten
your burden." - Our Lady, October 6, 1979
SINLESS
"Remember, My children, come to My Mother; for in Her memory of Her human days
upon earth, She above all humans created--sinless, without the stigma of sin, a
perfect life upon earth without sin, and assumed into Heaven, body and
spirit--She above all can direct you because She is your Mother; She is the
Queen of Heaven, and the Mother of every human being upon earth." - Jesus,
August 14, 1979
NATIONS
"As a great Mother of great sorrows, She has opened Her heart to all mankind,
choosing of Her own free will to act as your Mother, the Mother of all nations,
the Mother of all children of earth--to guide you back to the road to Heaven." -
Jesus, October 6, 1979
BELOVED DAUGHTER
"You have witnessed, my child, the arrival of my beloved daughter, my first and
only child, one whom I cherished--a true miracle from the Father." - Saint
Anne, September 7, 1973
BEAUTY
Veronica - Now within the light I can see Our Lady. Oh, She is so beautiful. She
is just so beautiful! Words cannot describe Her beauty. All I can say is, this
is something that is not earthly; it's the most heavenly sight that anyone could
see. Our Lady has on Her white gown, with the gold trim all about the edge. And
She has the mantle over Her head. I very seldom have even seen a wisp of Our
Lady's hair. It is so beautiful. - October 6, 1988
TRUTH
Veronica - She wants to give to all a simple truth from the Father. Our Lady
says that much has been questioned by man of Her immaculate conception of Jesus.
And also Her birth.
Now Our Lady said that the Father knew before Her birth and the birth of all
on earth what would transpire in time to come.
Therefore, Her birth was not by accident, because before time came, it was
all deemed to be. Therefore, the questioning also of the birth of Her Son would
be most easy to understand, Our Lady said, if you know the power of the Father.
For nothing is impossible with God.
The world needed to be saved. The gates of Heaven needed to be opened to a
sinful man. Therefore, the Father deemed to send His Son to earth and planned
before "My birth," Our Lady says--Her birth, that She should be there to bring
forth this heavenly Being Who would be known as the Son of Man and the Son of
God.
It was the plan of the Father to try to teach man and lead him back to the
road to the Kingdom which had been shut to him. And because of his evil ways and
his turning to satan, he had lost that road and the keys had been taken from him
temporarily.
Therefore, when, Our Lady said, She saw Her Son sacrificed upon the wood,
She suffered greatly. But Her suffering and Her joy was intermingled, for She
was given the knowledge before the birth of the Son that He would come to save
all mankind. Therefore, when He returned to the Father, Her heart was lightened,
knowing that She would remain but a short time and join Him in the Kingdom. So
the loss was but a temporary heartache to Her.
Our Lady knows that many question this. It is only because satan wishes to
place doubt and destroy the truth. So Our Lady asks that you keep in your heart
the truth and be not swayed by scientific minds that have been given great
knowledge, but never the truth. - December 30, 1972
ONLY CHILD
"I come to you as your God, and I also want to make this clear: I did not have
any brothers or sisters in My family. My Mother was Mary Ever Virgin. This was a
supernatural manifestation from Heaven and only those who are in the light, they
fully understand the existence of My Mother and the role She played in
establishing the One, True Church upon earth." - Jesus, October 2, 1987
GENTLEST
"I give you My heart, torn anew by My own. I give you My Mother, the gentlest of
creatures, human and sublime. I give you My Mother Who will be with you through
the battle until I return as I ascended into Heaven." - Jesus, August 14,
1979
CONSECRATED
"My children, it is only because many years ago you consecrated your country to
Me* that you have not received the destruction that is gradually coming closer
to you from the outside world. But if you turn from Me now I no longer will be
able to shield you." - Our Lady, July 1, 1971
*In 1846, eight years
before Pope Pius IX proclaimed the dogma of the Immaculate Conception, the Sixth
Council of Baltimore formally chose the Blessed Virgin Mary conceived without
sin as the Patroness of the United States.
MY HEEL
"I stand upon the head of the serpent. My heel will crush him, but not until man
and the world have been cleansed. I come as a Mediatrix of all graces,
representative through My Son in the Father." - Our Lady, March 18, 1973
INSTRUMENT
"To give Me honor does not detract or take from the honor to My Son. I say
this, My child, to you and My children in all humility. I, your Mother, I, too,
am but an instrument of the Father in Heaven. My Son has chosen to send Me to
you as a Mediatrix between your world and the world of the Father." - Our
Lady, December 24, 1974

throughout your household. Insist even with obstructions, insist that your
children always wear a sacramental. One day they will understand that they will
repel the demons."
On February 1, 1974, Our Lady said, "My children, know the value of these
sacramentals. Guard your children well. You must awaken to the knowledge that
