Mariology Without Apology No.39 - The Triumph of the Immaculate Heart and a New Marian Dogma Transcription
00:00 - 00:30 in the name of the father and the son and the holy spirit amen Heavenly Father we thank you for such endless blessings spiritual and material with which you really spoil your children we ask though that you send the Holy Spirit through the Immaculate Heart of Mary that we may have a greater knowledge and love of her who is the daughter of the father the mother of the son the spouse the Holy Spirit
00:30 - 01:00 and her own mother Mary so that we may better serve our sweet Jesus his most Sacred Heart through her Immaculate Heart as we pray Hail Mary full of grace the Lord is with thee blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus holy Mary Mother of God pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death amen St Joseph patron of the church pray for us in the name of
01:00 - 01:30 the father and of the son and of the holy spirit amen it is a true inspiration to gather together to ponder on this 106th anniversary the solar Miracle of Fatima and the reason for the miracle this historic call for a Triumph of Victory a Triumph
01:30 - 02:00 of the Immaculate Heart of Mary and that we can make our own in our thoughts and prayers the goal that the mother has and that is quote in the end my Immaculate Heart Will Triumph and a period of Peace will be given to the world now that's what she said in 1917 and of course the solar miracle happened on o October
02:00 - 02:30 13th but on this October 13th of 2023 we also if we are going to be true to that same Immaculate Heart we also have a heaviness of heart based on what's happening in the land that we call Holy and we know the essential things that are happening and I'm giving no political analysis uh but we know that a grave Act
02:30 - 03:00 of terrorism happened we know as a result and it's not necessary I name countries because they're all human beings they're all the people of God they're all made in the image and likeness of God in the general sense of people of God and now there are a million people who have 24 hours to leave their homes 50% of those are
03:00 - 03:30 children who have no water no food and in fact no exit once again this is not a political statement if we want our hearts to resemble the Immaculate Heart our hearts have to go where people are suffering because that's where the mother's heart goes and on this day of the solar Miracle where we have to have A Renewed
03:30 - 04:00 understanding of who the remedy is we also have to share in the fact that within the next couple days the Red Cross is predicting a massive humanitarian disaster and so we if we don't acknowledge these realities how can we pray with the fervor our mother wants us to pray and we want to have a new appreciation
04:00 - 04:30 for prayer for mitigation and by that I mean our prayers today and tonight next couple days are not sadly going to stop what's happening in the Holy lands but mitigation can translate into thousands of souls thousands of Souls and that's why we have to take the message of Fatima where she comes as our lady of the Rosary
04:30 - 05:00 and says in the end my Immaculate Heart Will Triumph and there will be peace we've got to take that and say what do we supposed to do with that what's our role in assisting that Triumph and assisting that peace because this is a quintessential Catholic truth it's what Augustine says God creates us without us but he doesn't save us without us we've got to cooperate and each one of us we would not be alive right now
05:00 - 05:30 none of us would be alive right now if we did not have the call to participate in the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary now that's remarkable Grace and remarkable responsibility each one of us and that's why we have to be realistic about what's happening in the world not to be pessimistic because we have the promise but to be realistic so we can get on our knees
05:30 - 06:00 and we can get that extra Rosary in and we can spend a little bit more time in adoration we may have to pray now more than we've ever prayed before in our life guess who that's not going to hurt us and so the second Vatican Council says observe the signs of the times because that's supposed to move our hearts on the level of commitment and generosity and once again asking the that
06:00 - 06:30 question what's our call with this beautiful message of a Triumph of the Immaculate Heart St maximilan kby on February 17th of 1941 felt inspired to write down his deepest thoughts on our lady and that's what he did he broke his calendarium his his schedule for the day and he just sat and started writing he finished writing about 3 hours later
06:30 - 07:00 and half an hour later the Nazis came and took him and he would never return to neop poov neop panov the city of the Immaculate and how did he open that writing which is the best summary of col's Genius that we've ever had he says who are you o imaculada now one might be tempted to say now no come on you you're a world
07:00 - 07:30 class Theologian you you're sending newspapers throughout the world and you're asking that question but Colby was right we always have to ask that question if we want to get more of the mystery that Jesus wants us to get and so today on this great anniversary we have to ask who are you oh mother of all all
07:30 - 08:00 Humanity who who are you mother of all peoples including All Peoples at War Mary's not just mother of Catholics she's mothers of Christians she's mother of agnostics she's mother of atheists why because her motherhood is as universal as the Redemptive Act of Jesus Christ that's not to say everyone's going to receive Jesus and that's not to say everyone's necessarily going to receive Mary therefore we've got our work to
08:00 - 08:30 do to make these truths known but Mary is the spiritual mother of all peoples and if we want to understand who she is the best way is not for us to look horizontally it's for us to look up that is to say we have to ask the question who is Mary in the eyes of the Trinity isn't it something that whenever we're seeking a truth of the
08:30 - 09:00 faith we look for divine revelation right we don't just ask each other so we have to ask the question how does the Trinity see Mary if we want to get her right if we want to be a to answer the question who are you oh mother of all peoples we have to ask how does the Trinity see her because the more our view matches the trinitarian view the more we're getting it right and contrarywise if we have any less idea of
09:00 - 09:30 who of who Mary is than the Trinity then we're missing something and so let's briefly ask that question who is Mary in the eyes of the father well the answer is Mary is the Beloved daughter she is in fact God the father's greatest Masterpiece after the sacred Humanity of
09:30 - 10:00 Jesus this is why the fathers of the church used to say yeah think about the solar systems and think about the natural uh Beauties and the natural uh wonders as we call them the cosmos the Stars none of that meets the level of sanctity of the mother in fact some of the fathers said we get God got the the sky color of blue from Mary's ey eye okay now that's not
10:00 - 10:30 necessarily a statement of a fact but it's helping us to look up you see to see that God the fathers created best after the humanity of Jesus is Mary far more than anything in the cosmos you know St Thomas aquinus rightly says that every baptized child has more ontological goodness than the entire created universe
10:30 - 11:00 ponder that next time you go to a baptism or better yet ponder it next time you might get irritated at Mass because a kid is crying oh don't go there thank God that kid is crying when you hear that kid crying say well there's the future of the church there's someone's got to be here but if that's true of a of a baptized child what about the immaculate one and you know there's a lot of wonderful discussion rightly so about the relationship between mothers
11:00 - 11:30 and Sons it's a beautiful intimate relationship but sometimes we don't give proper attention to fatherdaughter relationships and the power the Sublimity a good dad will do anything to protect and defend his daughter anything and so the heavenly father sees his created daughter in the same way every artist every architect every
11:30 - 12:00 painter every sculptor at least once should be allowed to do their best well if you want the father's best it's Mary's Humanity okay her Immaculate Conception once again after the humanity of Jesus so that's the concept of Mary and light of the father okay his his Masterpiece daughter but what about the son well the son sees Mary and uses the word that is the
12:00 - 12:30 only Universal that's pretty much accepted in the world today and that's motherhood the beauty of motherhood I'm going to bypass the fact that our Congress last year outlawed the term for any legislation and just say well that was a dip of logic and Humanity uh but beyond that universality of motherhood the appreciation of motherhood soldiers dying with with the name of their mother
12:30 - 13:00 calling out mother um in days of uh collect calls which we don't have so much anymore right uh days of Collect Calls the greatest day of collect calls was always Father's day I'll talk to Dad if he pays for it but the day of greatest volume was always Mother's Day so when Jesus calls Mary Mother
13:00 - 13:30 this is a Divine infinite love for a human being who can truly say I am the Theus I am the god-bearer you ever had an intimate moment with our Eucharistic Lord maybe you receive Holy Communion and you get a sense I should just stay here a little bit longer I I I feel the grace and grace is not about feeling we know that but occasionally we'll get that Grace and consolation just want to stay a little bit longer I can I can I can sense sanctification
13:30 - 14:00 happening when Mary says yes to the Archangel Gabriel that will start a process of God the son being in her in flesh for 9 months 24 hours at every moment Jesus is sanctifying her more now that's not bad when you start with the fullness of of Grace the
14:00 - 14:30 Immaculate Conception so the intimacy between Jesus and Mary is something we can never satisfy some authors triy to say it like St John UD saying the Heart of Jesus and the Heart of Mary it's better to just call it one one heart because they're absolutely conformed and heart means person right that's the biblical concept of heart heart is the biblical way of saying person with with the greatest short form we can say it so when you're
14:30 - 15:00 dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus you're dedicated to all of him especially through his Humanity when you're dedicated to the Immaculate Heart of Mary you have to know who she is to be truly appreciative of all that her heart represents so this is the son I mean as one author said no one obeys you know the fourth Commandment better than Jesus no one honors his mother better than
15:00 - 15:30 he and then you have the Holy Spirit the Holy Spirit looks at Mary and says my spouse my human spouse are we starting to get an idea of why the fathers of the church said that Mary is absolutely human forever human but she's a new creation she's a different level of human than we are because of her Immaculate
15:30 - 16:00 Conception so the holy spirit's the sanctifier we all know that and St maximilan Colby says that the Holy Spirit acts only through the immaculada only through his human spouse why because he has to no because he wants to theologically we call that the difference between Divine necessity or Divine disposition why does the Holy Spirit only want to act through Mary because it worked out pretty well the first time
16:00 - 16:30 that would be called Jesus and so theologically you don't want to fix what ain't broke and so the spirit will continue to get to us through the Heart of Mary so perfect creature mother spouse and that's why sometimes and I say this in a proper distinction sometimes s put your apologetic hat on
16:30 - 17:00 this side oh that's an important hat to have and just have a proper awe of who she is okay don't just think about well yeah I get that how am I going to explain that just stop there don't worry about explaining it first worry worry about losing yourself in the depth of the mystery because none of us will succeed in fully grasping the mystery of the mother but it's a wonderful process in trying I
17:00 - 17:30 remember being back you know at uh etn here and and there was an extensive extensive time we had a a live show with Mother years back and we were going out on the air and of course as many guests know mother's prep was typically about 90 seconds uh that what are we going to talk about tonight honey we say a few things and out we go uh and then uh so I said yeah we're talking about our lady tonight and I
17:30 - 18:00 just as we're going I said gosh mother I hope I hope we can do her justice she said honey you can never do the Blessed Mother Justice and it's always stuck with me but it's wonderful trying it's wonderful trying and if we start with the Trinity and understand our lady from their Divine perspective then we get closer now at Fatima in 1930 the spiritual director of sister Lucia
18:00 - 18:30 asked sister Lucia why are there five first Saturdays why aren't there three or seven or 10 and so sister Lucia said well I will ask Jesus which is a nice resource just ask and our Lord revealed to Sister Lucia the five great offenses against the Immaculate Heart
18:30 - 19:00 that the five first curties of reparation are repairing are offering atonement consolation for number one the rejection of her Immaculate Conception number two the rejection of her perfect and Perpetual virginity number three that she's Mother of God and spiritual mother of men I'm going to stop you before we go to
19:00 - 19:30 four and five and I just want you to to focus on that those are just three dogmas one might say well why would our lady get so upset about that they're just they're just these these Dogma things over here they're just they're truth I mean they're important but they're truths it's because if you reject the truth you reject the mother the mother is contained in the truth about her these are not Ivory Tower theological
19:30 - 20:00 conclusions this is the reality of the mother uh go up to a priest or a religious I don't suggest this this is rhetorical of course I go up and say look father sister I think you're wonderful but I I don't think you live your vowels but don't take that personally well of course they're going to take it personally because their vows are their life their vocation so when you deny Mary's Immaculate Conception she takes it personally and guess what so does Jesus and her Perpetual virginity and that
20:00 - 20:30 she's Mother of God and mother of humanity and that has to ReSound in our hearts about the importance of Maran truth if you want to love the mother right you got to get the truth right because the truth is telling you who she is and why she deserves our love four and five of the offenses are when little children are LED astray from our lady and that certainly reveals
20:30 - 21:00 her maternal heart and number five is when our images are desecrated so this brings us God willing to a new appreciation a new imperative to know the truth about the mother to know who she is so we can love her better and so the church presently has four dogmas regarding our lady so what's a Dogma a Dogma is a solemnly defined
21:00 - 21:30 Doctrine okay so either an ecumenical council approved by the Holy Father or the Holy Father ex Cathedral from the chair makes a proclamation and as blessed Pi the N says it's the Perfection of the truth okay it's the highest articulation of the truth so what are the four dogmas number one that she's Mother of God this is 433 in the Council of Ephesus that Mary is Mother of God the son made
21:30 - 22:00 man and again we could take our whole lives in trying to ponder what liturgy says is a Wonderman of nature that a creature gave birth to her Creator it's astounding her second Dogma comes in 649 that Mary is the Perpetual virgin she was virginal before the birth of
22:00 - 22:30 Jesus during the birth of Jesus and after the birth of Jesus now typically we hear some controversy with our brothers and sisters uh Christians who are not Catholic about the Perpetual virginity uh that's probably because many of them don't know that we hold because sometimes we don't know that we hold the virginity during the birth that makes reference to the miraculous birth of Jesus Christ that
22:30 - 23:00 protected Mary's physical virginity what the fathers called virginas in talku why would Mary's physical virginity be protected because it's a perfect theology the body example of her perfect interior virginity so Mary's virgin will before during and after the birth of Jesus the third Dogma comes in 1854 and that is the dogma of the immaculate conception that she was conceived without original sin but don't
23:00 - 23:30 visualize this Dogma Solo in solely by what it says she doesn't have it also and a positive expression is saying she's full of grace she has a plenitude of Grace the Saints excelled in Grace none of the Saints had a fullness of Grace in fact theologians have a tough time really trying to measure the level of the mother's sanctity because at the moment of her conception
23:30 - 24:00 she has more grace than All Saints and Angels combined and that's not pietistic hyperbole that's her participation in Grace but then every time she says yes she grows in that Grace So at the end of her Earthly life she's almost bursting at the anthropological seams with Grace now of course we tend to use uh materal material metaphors like buckets of Grace
24:00 - 24:30 and pints of Grace it's not that of course it's Unity it's intimacy with the Trinity no one has it more than the mother and then in 1950 we have the dogma of our lady's assumption that at the end of her Earthly life Mary was assumed into heaven Body and Soul now note my friends all four of those dogmas are Sublime truths about the mother but take a quick look at them or
24:30 - 25:00 Ponder them none of them speak anything about our lady's relationship with you or with me or with humanity and so the fifth doctrine of the church which has not yet been solemly declared as a Dogma deals with our lady's relationship with humanity and in some way ways when we ask well how does she do it how is Mary
25:00 - 25:30 Mother to us uh we can resort to the domestic Church uh what are the three qualities of a good mother number one a mother suffers for her children number two a mother nourishes and forms her children number three a mother intercedes protects defends her children okay those are the three ways that our lady's
25:30 - 26:00 motherhood has manifested to us now the church has titles for these three roles for her first role how our lady suffers for us she's called the human co-redemptrix now as people can sometime sometimes knee-jerk uh with that title which has been in the church since the 14th century it's been used by popes and Saints and Mystics St John Paul II
26:00 - 26:30 called our lady the co- redemptrix on seven occasions remember my friends Co does not mean equal Co means with it comes from the Latin term Kum and we know now in liturgy we talk about being co-s with Christ St Paul calls us to be co-workers with God does that mean equal well if we're all in heresy it means equal if it means with we're all participating Mary participates like no one
26:30 - 27:00 else in the Redemptive work of Jesus Christ you know I mentioned uh previously a a conversation I had with Mother uh Teresa years back in Kolkata and I said uh mother do you think that Mary is the co- redm she said of course she's the co- redemptrix she gave Jesus his body and his body is what saved us I said well mother and I literally said this to her I said mother that's the difference between Saints and and theologians it took you 20 seconds but
27:00 - 27:30 it takes us books to write and it and it's all there of course she's the co-redemptrix and so the coredemptrix title is summarizing the truth that Mary and I was over a mother's house and she said okay if you know this stuff then explain it to my my third grader put it in his term okay Mary helped Jesus save Souls like no other creature that's what co- redemp means is that so controversial I mean
27:30 - 28:00 who would disagree do you think St Paul would say you know actually I did a lot for the church you know or St Peter said you know I was the first pope I mean who would dare raise their hand to say no I think I did more to help Jesus save Souls than Mary this is not rocket science this is pretty basic stuff and that's what the title means the mother suffering on behalf of her children and
28:00 - 28:30 as St John Paul II says at Calvary Mary was spiritually crucified with her crucified son as St Bridget of Sweden uh would record our lady saying it my son and I redeemed the world together as if from one heart isn't it beautiful how the mystical can summarize so much truth of Doctrine so they did it together the new Adam and the new Eve that's all that the
28:30 - 29:00 co- redemp title means secondly Mary is the mediatrix of all Graces that's the mother nourishing each and every Grace that we receive every Grace of the Redemption that comes from Jesus comes to us through Mary's intercession I remember one conference there was a nursing mother in the back and she came up afterwards she said when you're talking about mediatrix of all Graces I couldn't help but think well
29:00 - 29:30 isn't it kind of what I'm doing for my child and and really shouldn't all this go to the breast of Mary for the spiritual milk of sanctifying Grace it's a beautiful image but what do we have to do to go to the breast of Mary we have to be humble enough to know that we're still kids and we need the mother's milk that was P Rio's famous favorite image of our of our Lady uh la madon de the mother of milk and it
29:30 - 30:00 was a breastfeeding mother that you know shocks us sometimes that with with Mery breastfeeding why because we've messed up sexuality so much we we we we've so misunderstood uh the beauty of the male and the female bodies uh that that that has a kind of a a bad connotation no this is a beautiful connatural Supernatural understanding of our lady bringing us the grace of Jesus so she's
30:00 - 30:30 the mediatrix of every Grace every pope from Benedict the 14th and the 18th century now up to Pope Francis who on the anniversary of Fatima uh May 13th 2023 called our lady in one uh address mediatrix of all Graces and Advocate with Jesus so it's a Papal line of three centuries so she's the mother nourishing thirdly she's the mother pleading the
30:30 - 31:00 mother defending that's her role as Advocate it's her most ancient title in some languages the word for Advocate is the same term we use for lawyer I remember years back giving a conference down in Bolivia was a Latin American Maran conference and I was speaking about this subject and two ladies came up and they were visibly
31:00 - 31:30 upset with me because I called Mary Advocate and in Spanish that's abug that's lawyer said you just called the mother of Jesus a lawyer and I said well it's a different court it's the court of Christ the King and in fact she's advocating for us we're her clients and they were happy with that they were they were content with that uh I I two weeks later I gave a talk in Dallas and I just had mentioned uh what
31:30 - 32:00 had happened in Bolivia and after the Q&A there was a rather stately looking gentleman silver-haired gentleman came up and he said uh son I want to give you a $1,000 for your movement for the fifth Maring Dogma because in all my years as a Texas lawyer I've never been compared to the Blessed Mother so that's how Texans show their faith nice checks at any rate it's to speak on
32:00 - 32:30 behalf of okay so are ladies doing that all the time uh there was a Polish Professor uh at Franciscan who said you know you in America you see Mary is this nice sweet mother for us she's the warrior Queen She leads us into battle we have to defend four borders and she's our Advocate and so these are all all elements of truth about our lady she's the co-redemptrix she suffers
32:30 - 33:00 for us she's the mediatrix she nourishes us she's The Advocate she pleads and defends us uh that's why by the way the people in the Holy lands they need this Advocate this is not Ivory Tower book learning this is allowing our lady to take action for us right now and how many fronts do we need her intercession do we see our lady as a nice person with a statue in
33:00 - 33:30 the back we light a candle too nothing wrong with doing that but is it stop there or do we see her as the remedy because if you follow the fattima message she says God wishes to establish in the world Devotion to my Immaculate Heart and it's through the mother that we're going to get the Triumph why because that's the way the Trinity wants it and the quicker we respond to that the quicker we will assist in the process of Peace of getting to the
33:30 - 34:00 peace now in 1915 during World War I a very famous Belgian cardinal cardinal Mercier started a petition drive for a solemn definition of this fifth Doctrine and his rationale was this if we Proclaim on the highest level of Truth by the Vicor of Christ with all the keys of of Peter that Mary is our spiritual
34:00 - 34:30 mother then she will be able to intercede more powerfully than ever and right then he was World concerned about World War I he said we need peace this is devastating Europe and so he started a petition asking the Holy Father to Crown our lady with a fifth Dogma a fifth declaration well indeed as we know that did not happen uh World War I continued Our Lady Fatima
34:30 - 35:00 prophesied tragically a second world war uh in giving a talk in in New Zealand a few years back a man came up and said you know had we followed Fatima I would still have my dad because my dad was the first New Zealand soldier who died in World War II and so this is not just pietism my friends this is Supernatural calls to action in a time when we need need the mother's full intercession so the concept of a
35:00 - 35:30 proclamation is a fulfillment of our freedom what does that mean that means God the father has a very clear rule Grace cannot be forced on Humanity God gave us Free Will and he's not going to force us to Heaven he's not going to force us with Grace we have to use our free will we have to ask and that's why a proclamation by the Vicor of Christ that Mary is the
35:30 - 36:00 spiritual mother of all peoples would in fact release historic Graces for the church and the world now Mercier believe that there's been hundreds of Bishops that have believed it there's been over 8 million petitions to the Holy Father for this but we also have many messages from our lady many Church approved messages and some that are not approved but have all indications of authenticity saying
36:00 - 36:30 this fifth Dogma it's a condition for World Peace it's posed in one message as the key to the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary now let's examine that okay let's let's critically look at that why would the proclamation allow this historic release of Grace well let's take this example of scripture let's take the example of Jesus and Peter Matthew 16 15-2 what does Jesus say you know who do
36:30 - 37:00 they say the son of man is and these different responses come back you know Elijah etc etc then Simon says you're the Christ you're the son of the Living God and Jesus says essentially that didn't come from you it came from the Holy Spirit but because you Proclaim that truth I'm going to make you the first pope but I'm going to give the church the papacy that's how Jesus rewards when truth is proclaimed he rewards it with
37:00 - 37:30 Grace Grace is for the church and that is parallel to what would happen if in fact our lady the truth about her would be proclaimed we would get historic Graces and several apparitions have said not only will we get historic Graces but it's a condition it's a necessary condition for the Triumph of Immaculate Heart of Mary the major Fatima leaders of the 20th century all believe this John Hafford who
37:30 - 38:00 started the blue Army uh World Apostle of Fatima Howard D who's still alive in the Philippines Ambassador um Dr Courtney Bartholomew in Trinity they all said this Dogma is a requirement for the Fulfillment of Fatima for the Triumph it's got to happen but I want to conclude with uh a Pascal's wager approach to this okay you're all familiar with past's wager about the existence of God okay so let's apply it
38:00 - 38:30 and and as we're as we're pondering this wage let's think about ourselves let's think about our families let's think about the situation of our country let's think about realities like abortion and youthanasia and uh child trafficking and then let's think about Russia and Ukraine let's think about Israel and Palestine let's think about crisis in the church and let's make the wager so on one hand what if all those Maring
38:30 - 39:00 apparitions are wrong that this Dogma proclaiming Mary as a spiritual mother of all humanity is not going to do any of those things well would it be a good thing to do anyway would it be good to tell the truth about our lady what would be any negative about it well it could be upsetting uh to some of our Protestant
39:00 - 39:30 brothers and sisters but you know if we're doing a humanism right which means telling the truth about what we hold that's no surprise to them if we are doing our part in telling them what we believe they know we accept Mary's spiritual mother so there shouldn't be too much shock so proclaiming a truth is a good thing we learned that with Jesus in the papacy Jesus reward us so there's not really any loss in proclaiming it but what if the mother is right in all
39:30 - 40:00 those messages what if this is a condition for peace in the world what if we don't get to the peace until our lady is acknowledged which is what she says over and over and over is it not time do we need more suffering do we really want more tragedy can we not respond to the grace do we need a World War before we will acknowledge that she is the remedy so I want to conclude with
40:00 - 40:30 quoting two mothers I kind of like mothers myself uh one mother is Mother Angelica Mother Angelica was a very strong advocate for the fifth Marian Dogma in fact the prayer of the lady of all Nations which is a prayer I will recommend to you uh during the month of May was played every hour on the hour uh I would talk with Mother often on what she called the Blue Line that was the way you got into mother you know through
40:30 - 41:00 the back door and mother said on the air quote I don't think much good is going to happen in the world until this Dogma is proclaimed mother got the Dogma mother understood it here's another mother who got the Dogma this is Mother Teresa of Kolkata this is August 14th 1994 she says quote Mary is is our co-redemptrix with Jesus she gave Jesus his body and suffered with him at the
41:00 - 41:30 foot of the cross Mary is the mediatrix of all Grace she gave Jesus to us and as our mother she obtains for us all his Graces Mary is our Advocate who prays to Jesus for us the papal definition of Mary as Centrics mediatrix and Advocate will bring great Graces to the church
41:30 - 42:00 all for Jesus Through Mary God bless you m Teresa MC I think it's time we take the wager my friends and and what does that mean for us practically it means prayer uh we sometimes we we talk about prayer and we even do polite prayer like you know I'll pray for you and we don't really pray for them you know yeah I got you yeah I'll be praying for that we don't say a word okay okay so we don't want to be polite about this we want to be dynamic about it we have the rosary
42:00 - 42:30 the power of the Rosary second only to the sacrifice of the mass we need to pray the rosary for our brothers and sisters in Israel and Palestine right now we have to pray the rosary for our Holy Father to make this Proclamation I invite you to include in every mass in Rosary intention the simple words for the Holy Father and the fifth Maring Dogma it's all you have to do but included in there secondly I
42:30 - 43:00 encourage you to pray a prayer that was given specifically uh for the fifth Maring Dogma it is a church approved prayer it's the prayer of the lady of all nations in Amsterdam uh it is gone all over the world uh you can look it up we can send it to you as well but it's a very simple prayer that goes Lord Jesus Christ son of the father send now your spirit over the Earth let the Holy Spirit live in the hearts of all Nations that they may be preserved from
43:00 - 43:30 degeneration disasters and War May the lady of all Nations the Blessed Virgin Mary be our Advocate amen it's a 30 second prayer it holds great power Before the Throne of God and uh it is in a real sense a prayer for these times because how better can you summarize our headlines than degeneration disasters and War and the mother wants wants to help uh finally I would ask uh again an increase
43:30 - 44:00 in Eucharistic adoration the Eucharistic adoration is simply with the rosary it's our secret weapon uh the course of human history is changed before Eucharistic adoration but always have the combination it's never Jesus or Mary it's always Jesus and Mary pray for the fifth Maran Dogma pray for the heart of the Holy Father and if you're tempted to make a judgment say I don't think this guy's going to do it uh that would be not Fidelity that would be
44:00 - 44:30 pragmatism don't make that call just be faithful pray for the Vicor of Christ pray for his heart and quite frankly this Vicor of Christ is kind of a pope of Mary and surprises anyway and that could be a very positive thing but pray out of fidelity because you understand the mother deserves this Crown so I'm going to end by praying the prayer of Lady of all Nations you can listen or join for those who know it in the name of the father and the son and the holy spirit amen Lord Jesus Christ son of the
44:30 - 45:00 father send now your spirit over the Earth let the Holy Spirit live in the hearts of all Nations that they may be preserved from degeneration disasters and War May the lady of all Nations the Blessed Virgin Mary be our Advocate Amen in the name of the Father the Son and the Holy spirit thank you God bless you
