Time never stops. Events flow on and daily decisions change the world. Heaven wants to influence these decisions, but mankind steers his own ship, away from God’s help and into Satan’s hands. The whole world is in convulsions but these are not birth pangs bringing forth new life. They are death pangs and Mary must intervene to change the course of history. Never has such a challenge existed since Jesus asked “Let this chalice pass from me”. Mary also says, “Let this chalice pass”, knowing that her cup of suffering also will not be taken away. Drinking her chalice is the only way to change convulsions of death into the pangs of birth. Just as she brought forth Jesus, so she will bring forth something new. These are the mysteries of the Second Hour.
