Mary’s Message At Lourdes: A Status Update

Today is the Feast of Lourdes. At the height of WWI and a week after the Pope prayed for Peace, she appeared to Lucia, Francisco and Jacinta Marto . It was a time where many were atheist and agnostic, similar to the world in which we live. She appeared to them from May 13 – October 13, 1917. And today is simply the day we remember Our Blessed Mother Mary’s message to us.

Our Blessed Mother Mary warned us what would happen if we failed to repentand She warned us that the world was in great need of Repentence. And She warned us that we had “offended” God too much! Have we repented? Has our world truly changed?

Lucia saw the horrors of Hell and Mary warned us that if we did not Repent and cease offending God, that is where we would go. Have we?

Mary once again reminded us of the importance of Prayer and the Rosary.  “She asked the children to pray the Rosary daily for world peace, and to offer their daily sufferings and sacrifices in reparation for sins and the conversion of sinners”.  But how much time do we really devote to Prayer and the Rosary?

Mary also warned us that if Russia did not become consecrated to Mary (by the Pope and all of the Bishops), Russia would spread her “errors” throughout the world andthere would be more wars and persecution of the church“. Despite the fact that St. Lucia kept trying, Russia was never fully consecrated to Mary. Because Russia was not, there have been more wars. We have only to look at WWII, Russia and Ukraine…

And those who believe in Jesus and truly Follow Him have been greatly persecuted.

Mary, Our Blessed Mother, warned us because She loves us so much. She wanted to prevent our suffering. Just as we do when we warn our children not to touch a hot stove or run in front of a car. We don’t warn our children to be mean. We warn them because we love them and don’t want them to suffer!

Mary did the same for us. She warned us because She loves us and did not want us to suffer!

Thank you Mary!
