The Age of Mary

The Woman acts because her lights must go forth.  She wastes no time, placing her fires in many hearts and keeping their flames alive by her breathe of hope.  She will never allow the winds of despair to put them out, nor the wisdom of this world to set them aside. That is why she must raise up another of her sons for that generation which never knew or has forgotten the greatness of Pope John Paul II.

The night will come quickly brought about by unforeseen events which seemingly have no solution.  Those who trust in their own powers will be confounded.  Those without faith will have no light.  Those who felt themselves to be strong will see that they have trusted in faltering foundations.  Only those little ones who have trusted the Woman and called upon her will have the strength to overcome.  They will become the light to the nations, the Woman’s instruments in saving the world.

Even though the Father has sent His only Son, the world falls short, unable to respond to the Light, helpless even to believe or receive. So, the Holy Spirit floods the Woman’s heart with life-giving grace which she distributes freely to all who know her secrets.  Suddenly, the dead come to life, the blind see and the deaf can hear.  All are now able to accept the Light of the World as their Savior.  These are the secrets of Mary.

Before the Father acts to purify the world, the Woman proclaims the message, the new John the Baptist for the 21^st century. She will continue to speak through her chosen prophets, not prophets of doom but of hope.  Her words will light up the only path to peace.  No other road will exist.  So, two great needs.  The Church must spread her words to the four corners of the world and people must believe.  Blessed are those who become the Woman’s messengers of hope.

The Father pours forth His streams of light.  If they are accepted, the light remains and multiplies.   Such is the Woman’s heart which has fully accepted Jesus, the light of the world, and totally received all the personal light meant for her.  Who can understand this light so despised by the Evil One and so ready to be shared with all her children?  These are the deep mysteries which the Spirit is revealing to His Church – the Age of the Woman.

Man is helpless, unable to save himself from the evils that dominate the hearts of so many and from the evils introduced by sin.  Jesus will bring about a new heaven and a new earth but only by a suffering path which few will understand.  The Woman shares in His plans, bringing a hope and a tenderness, encouraging all her children to obedience, “Do whatever he tells you.”

The Father has revealed all these truths but mankind has set faith aside and is now stripped of light, deprived of heaven’s help, unable to forge even a human unity, and hopelessly wandering from one evil to the next.  How will mankind ever cope with future darkness?  The Father will raise up the Woman who still carries the light of Jesus in her womb and the fire of the Spirit in her heart.

The Father waits patiently, hoping that warnings and little trials will lead humanity to turn back in repentance.  Yet, this repentance does not take place.  Instead, there is a steady stream of new diversions and an ever increasing mountain of iniquity.

The wrong people control the sources of public opinion and evil voices shout down any attempts to call humanity back to the Father.

What can He do?  Patiently wait, while sending the Woman. However, the decisive moment must come when His patient waiting no longer bears fruit and He uses the Woman to announce those events which will forever change the world.

The Father keeps the doors of mercy open to His children, always hoping that just one more can be saved.

The Woman understands His heart because the Father has revealed his mysteries to her.  He fills her with an urgency which causes her intense suffering and sends her to every part of the world to impart her message, “The Father wants you to return.  He will welcome you and prepare a feast for you.  But do not delay.  The time is very short and soon Satan will block the path home”.

The Woman chose America as her own, wanting this nation to be a light set upon the mountain to guide the whole world.  She blessed this nation with untold resources and gradually extended its boundaries from ocean to ocean, so she could nourish its spirit and bestow her light.

Now, America turns more and more away from her light and no longer hears the Father’s voice. Entangled in the briars of confusion and enslaved by the thorns of passion, wounded and blinded, America cannot fulfill the Father’s call until the Woman heals its wounds and gives salve to its eyes.

Before the Father can pour out His blessings, earth must be prepared and filled with expectancy.  Such is this time.  This long waiting until the promises of Fatima and Medjugorje are fulfilled must be a time of expectancy, even a pleading for the Father to place His hands upon human history, taking all the events in a surprisingly new direction.

However, these years have not been decades of great faith, but of lost faith, not years of coming to the Lord but of abandoning devotion.  The hoped-for preparing has not happened on the scale intended by the Father.  Therefore, the Woman’s task in these final preparatory years becomes even more urgent.

How can the Father’s loving hand guide all of human history?  This has been the question from the beginning and will remain the burning question until all are gathered into His Kingdom.

Although our first parents rejected His loving hand, yet the Father was kind to them, even making their first garments. (Gen 3:21)

Then, He reached out again and sent His Only Son, another gesture rejected by mankind.  Now, His loving hand sends the Woman, His final gift.  He has clothed her in the Sun as His final call to mankind to walk in light.

The time of mercy is running out and the time for repentance is coming to an end.  Why should the Father keep shouting?  Why should the Good Shepherd keep searching?  Yet, the father gives another chance. He sends the Woman and her voice goes forth.  The final opportunity has not yet been lost.  Hope remains only because the Father has chosen the Woman to be the final herald of His Son.  Hers is now the voice crying in the desert, “Prepare for my Son for He will surely come and save.”

Nothing is haphazard or happens by chance. All is plotted and planned.  From the very beginning the Father had his plan to bless all the angels. However, some angels followed Lucifer’s plan.

The Father also had his plan for the world, but human beings chose Lucifer’s plan.  Now, there are two plans, the Father’s plan revealed by His Son, Jesus and Satan’s plan implemented by fallen angels and evil human hearts.

Finally, there is the Woman, the Father’s surprise plan, promised at the beginning (Gen 3:150 but now brought forth with one purpose – that all humanity would choose the Father’s plan revealed in Jesus, “Do whatever he tells you”, she says to the world.

The Woman’s voice fills the whole world.  Her words go out to the ends of the universe and she fills the world with lights from heaven. Yet, greater and greater darkness comes upon human history because the heavenly lights are put aside, not given their rightful place nor allowed to fully shine. That is why she has chosen her priest son.  He will search, discover and find the Woman’s lights, placing them on the Church’s lampstand, so, at last, heaven’s lights flood the world.

How great are the contending forces. They are battling every day to gain the human race.  The Woman loves mankind and wishes to take the human race into the light of her heart.  The Evil One hates and envies mankind and wants to claim man for the darkness of hell.

The pandemic results from this hidden battle. Satan uses people whom he controls to unleash a worldwide evil, while the Woman enlightens those who can overcome.  Nothing is certain.  The daily battle goes on.  The Woman wants to bring about a new normalcy so she can prepare the world for her Medjugorje gifts.

Discord everywhere.  Who can make sense of this disarray?  Of how it began or where it will spread?  The whole world covered with confusion.  No answers.  Only temporary solutions until a safe road is found.

Satan rejoices.  He has deeply wounded these years when the Woman wanted to prepare the whole world for her greatest gifts, the unveiling of her road to peace.  By his clever move in using China, he has gained power over these years of preparation.  However, the Woman will open her heart and pour out her Medjugorje gifts, because Satan has no power over them.

Only love pours forth from the Father’s heart but when His love encounters evil, He must remove it, when it meets darkness, it must cast it out and especially when it meets total hardheartedness, then His fires must become total Judgment but always with a final moment of hope, offering repentance.

No one can overestimate the power of this final moment, when even the most sinful person can be saved, turned away from the greatest evils and embraced by divine love.

This is the mission of the Woman.  She is announcing this unimaginable love of the Father.  She is also prophesying the closeness of this final moment – the last opportunity to repent because this century of divine mercy is coming to an end.

America has made its decision, choosing its leaders for the coming years, not knowing what those years hold in store.  Knowing only that the views of the President conflict with the Father’s laws.  His powers must be limited or the Divine Judgment would begin more quickly.  The Father will not tolerate a Sodom and Gomorrah, nor allow the cries of the unborn to go unheeded.

By His patience, the Father allows time for repentance. He extends the time, and holds back His chastising hand in hopes that He will never need to purify by a total Judgment. But what is happening?

Does mankind repent and turn away from selfish desires? Does it harken to the Day of the Lord and set right its paths? On the contrary, the Father is cast out and His Kingdom rejected. His word set aside and His lights put out. His final chance lies with the Woman. Will she succeed?

Human history moves further away from the Heavenly Father Who created the human race and calls it to Himself.  Now it strays into dangerous ravines and unknown pastures.  Long ago, it tore down barriers that the Father had placed, searching out forbidden pleasures and taking to itself powers that belonged to the Father.

How can the Father rescue mankind, when not one but many sheep have strayed?  He sends forth the Woman.  She gathers one by one.  Then two by two, until a moment will come when she is able to grasp the whole world.  A special moment – her hour for which all her children must prepare by many years of faith.

The darkness grows because man has rejected the light, choosing instead false dreams and hopes that cannot build a lasting city.  All is weak. Foundations without strength and hearts that feed upon themselves.

Only the Woman builds a lasting city which will survive the future chaos, a heavenly city that has descended to earth, formed within her a heart by the Spirit of God. Her heart  cannot close nor reject anyone who seeks to enter.

The doors of the present must swing open and accept the future, whatever it might hold with its new problems and new hopes.  Then the human will responds, grappling with this new reality.

Mankind is a foolish child seeking no help except its own resources.  Meanwhile, the Woman waits, foreseeing the future and knowing how much the human race will need her.

The doors will open on a whole new chapter of human history, unable to be imagined, the Age of Mary, the Hour of the Woman.  A complete break with the past, not just a transition to what is new.

For these years, with events totally unforeseen, the Father has provided a secret path of safety on which all His children can walk.  At present, the path seems unimportant and easily set aside.  What foolishness, when the Virgin calls us so urgently to join her now.

The Father is always purifying humanity, through the martyrdom of His holy ones, through the deaths and destruction of evil persons and through prophetic voices that He raises up.  However, His efforts are overwhelmed by the oceans of evils easily available to modern technology, which uses them for sordid gain and power.

He has not yet placed His purifying hand upon man’s technology, allowing the great chaos to continue unabated Yet a moment will come when He must intervene, depriving mankind of its new powers because evil has claimed what could have spread the gospel message.

Only the clever surgeon knows exactly where to cut so the infection can pour out and the patient grows well.  How sick is America with vices that the forefathers would never envision.  A people who no longer invoke God as they did.  Nor follow the principles which guided them.

America totters and no one can bring it to its knees.  The Woman watches, her special child growing in darkness and forgetting its birth at her hands. Yet, she will never forget this special child of her womb.

What will be the final outcome? If victory is assured, what will it be like? What will be the cost?  Will it be complete or limited to the elect? Many questions and the Woman holds all the answers, placed in her heart by her Son, Truth Himself, so all can easily access them. This is the mystery which the Woman is trying to reveal but so many push her aside as if hers is an insignificant voice.

Only the Father knows the times and the seasons. He reveals these to chosen ones so they can be his messengers of hope.  Such has been the Woman’s task which she fulfills in every aspect, by offering her words, her presence, her comings and her advice. Nothing has limited her zeal, yet many have blocked her way, diverting what should have been a mighty ocean which would change the course of history and making it into a tiny stream from which just a few drink.

Everything moves on. Events do not wait. Forces are released. No one can stop the constant flow of human life, which is a mighty river pulling all in its path.

The Woman, foreseeing the future, comes to save.  She knows the river’s path, its destroying power and how to rescue each person.  Those who gather with her, will know what to do. Others will have no such lights.

The structures tumble. The walls collapse. All are surprised. But those who know the Woman have their own light. They have listened to her words. They know she is near, a constant protecting force. They draw in their children and speak words of hope.

They will endure the same trials, be subject to the same difficulties, but they will choose a quite different path. The one revealed by the Woman to all who listen.

The Hour of the Woman

The following tries to explain the great mystery of the Hour of the Woman.

Biblical Background of Title

1.         Woman (in our sense) is used 4 important times.

            A.         “I will put an enmity between you and the Woman, between her seed and your seed.” (Gen 3:15)

            B.         “Woman, what is that to me and you My hour has not yet come.” (Jn2:4)

            C.         “Woman, behold your son.  Behold your mother.” (Jn 19:26)

            D.         “A great sign appeared in the sky, a woman clothed with the sun, the moon under her feet and on her head a crown of twelve stars.” (Rev12:1)

2.         The places in the bible are important.  The Woman is in the first (A) and the last (D) book of the bible. Also, the Woman is at the beginning (B) and the end (C) of Jesus’ public life.

3.         In Genesis and Revelation, the Woman means the Church but, since Mary is the Mother of the Church, the title “Woman” belongs to her in a special way.

4.         In John’s gospel, “Woman” means Mary.  This is what Jesus calls His mother.

Revealing the Mystery

1.         Concerning Jesus, Paul claims, “God has given us the wisdom to understand fully the mystery, the plan He was pleased to decree in Christ, to be carried out in the fullness of time.” (Eph 1:9-10)

2.         What is this “mystery”?  “Through him, we both (Jews and Gentiles) have access in one Spirit to the Father. (Eph2:18)

3.         Paul explains, “The mystery of Christ unknown to men in former ages but now revealed.” (Eph3:4-5)

4.         What is this plan?  “The Gentiles are now co-heirs with the Jews.” (Eph 3:6)

Why Important?

By knowing God’s plan, newly revealed, the Church knew what to do to evangelize.  The apostles started to preach to Gentiles who quickly outnumbered Jews.

The Age of Mary (The Hour of the Woman)

1.         St. Louis de Montfort (a priest from 1700 to 1717) prophesied an “Age of Mary” in his manuscript found in 1842.  Before that, Our Lady appeared to St. Catherine Laboure (1833) and revealed her miraculous medal, the beginning of the Age of Mary.

2.         Since then, the Church has experienced numerous Marian apparitions, those approved at Fatima, somewhat accepted at Medjugorje and not fully investigated or accepted at Garabandal.

3.         The big question still remains. Is this the Hour of the Woman? What does that mean? And most important, how should this change the Church’s evangelizing?

Human wisdom has chosen a road of self-fulfillment which leads only to divisions, unleashing all the demonic forces within each person and buried in each culture.

Now, all the acts of selfishness come together, multiplying each other, responding with anger to anger, hatred to hatred and revenge to revenge.

Where are the self-sacrificing persons ready to shed their blood so nations will destroy their weapons and people will set aside their hatred? The Woman will raise them up and they shall save the world by the word of their testimony and the shedding of their blood.  This is the Cana mystery.

Only when the walls begin to crumble will people see the foolishness of modern man who has removed faith from the marketplace and placed it on the margin, silencing the true voices and refusing to hear.  The Church herself must carry its own guilt, having built its structures according to human wisdom, as if faith was needed only in desperate times and not amid prosperity. Divine Judgment comes against the whole world, not to destroy, but to reveal.

The Woman speaks in vain, words that seem childish and unimportant to a world used to powerful and clever words. The world does not see that corroded hearts and blind eyes. Who can awaken the world to the Father’s plan or turn the great nations to a different path? Only the Woman can point out another way, the Father’s plan, the Father’s road to peace.  Heaven would bring this about if only earth would listen. That is why she speaks.

No one listens to the cries coming from the Woman’s heart.  The time grows very short.  The needed preparations not made.  Her children totally unaware, caught up in frivolous desires, scattered and confused.

Who will turn their hearts and minds to the conquest or alert them to the coming battles? A voice is kept silent for now for it would not be heard above the clamor. However, a time will come when many false voices will be silenced with not a word to say.  Other voices will be discredited in their half-hearted solutions.  Only then can the Woman raise up the authentic voice that will instruct the nations and bring all to the feet of the Woman.

An unknown future filled with dangers and overshadowed with darkness needs the light hidden by the Father in the Woman’s heart, abundant light to guide all those who seek Him.

What is wrong? Why does this light not go forth? Because many do not know.  They see neither the coming darkness nor the Father’s great gift.  They will be caught unaware unless the Woman’s word goes forth in power.

Who can understand the mysteries that unfold every day in human history? So many streams flow in different directions. They intersect and then go on their own way, a pattern understood only by the Heavenly Father.

Some streams follow His will but other streams follow in their own directions.  Some streams violently oppose His plans and threaten to destroy all the others. These are evil forces, chaotic and filled with death.

The Father must deal quickly with these streams, subduing them while trying to save those entrapped by them.  This is the purpose of His delay and the wisdom of His thoughts.

The Father will pour forth the fire of purification and the waters of divine mercy. In this way, He will perfectly manifest both His justice and His mercy. The fires must fall on all, and upon every culture. The waters will be available to all who seek them in the Woman’s heart. All must know these mysteries so they will not despair in the moments of divine purifying.

The heavenly Father treasures all that He has created, especially the human persons whom He has brought forth.  He always plans for their benefit and provides for their well-being.  However, the human will rejects His plans and diverts history for its selfish goals.

People do not understand or accept Jesus’ words which reveal His Father’s thoughts nor do they accept the Way of Truth which Jesus provided. Now, all come to a crossroad, a great moment of divine truth, when the sins of man must be purged so the original freedom can be restored.  To help humanity, the Father provides the Woman.

What mysteries still lay hidden in the Father’s heart.  All to bring about the Kingdom of His Son and the glory of the elect.  Soon, these mysteries will be seen and experienced by all, but not understood.  Only to some have been revealed the mysteries of the Kingdom.  To others, all remains hidden due to the hardness of their hearts.

The Father gathers all into His arena, where good and evil will lock in mortal combat. No other way exists for Him to save and purify mankind. He will use Satan as His instrument. Satan, devoid of free will, totally dedicated to evil, cannot refuse the Role chosen for him by the Father’s wisdom. Many will not see or be able to grasp.

The Father’s great secret, withheld until the last moment, is the presence of the Woman, and of the one she has chosen and of the army of faithful souls whom she has prepared by her apparitions. Small though be their numbers, they will be effective instruments in her hands.

Who will prepare the Church for coming deluge? Many can be saved by knowing what is happening and what to do. This light must spread to the whole world, so everyone can be saved. So few envision the coming darkness and the need for the Woman’s light. The voices already raised up are feeble and hardly heard above the din of daily life.

To pour out His love upon the earth, the Father created the heart of Jesus, a fit container of His fire.  But where would Jesus, who had come to cast fire on the earth, be able to pour out that love?  The Spirit had already prepared a heart worthy to receive and, from the first moment of His conception, Jesus continually poured His love into the heart of Mary. She perfectly received, treasured and preserved it for herself, the Church and all her children.  Now, her heart overflows with that divine love but she must find hearts ready to receive. These are the secrets of the Age of Mary.

In this Cana hour, the Woman is requesting from the heavenly Father that He look upon the plight of humanity.  She does not dictate to the Father what He is to do.  She merely places before His eyes the needs of her children.  Then, she tells her children “Do whatever He asks of you.”  The Father is ready to act, but unlike the waiters, many children do not obey the Woman.  That will change when she raises up her priest son who will remind the Church to “Do whatever the Woman tells you.”

What is happening? A casting out of darkness.  Little victories which bring light.  The Woman accomplishing all that is possible, taking advantage of every heart that opens to her in faith.

With the Woman, all is never lost. What can be saved will be saved. No need to be swept away in the deluge when she provides an ark.

The Father’s gifts are always wrapped in the mystery of the present moment.  Only faith sees the gift and removes the covering so God’s power can bless the world.

The Father has sent the Woman, clothed with the Sun, His gift for this moment of history.  She comes.  She is present.  She offers her own heart as the saving Ark.  Yet many do not enter, endangering their eternal salvation. They are unprepared for the flood waters which so soon must be released.

That moment will soon arrive when the purifying action of the Father will pour out upon the whole world.  It will begin in one region but all of earth will eventually be caught up in its power, each part experiencing this fire differently.

This purifying action will happen over many years, according to the Father’s wisdom.  The Woman, if she is invoked with faith, will save her children, giving them faith to persevere, hope so they do not despair, and wisdom so they know what to do.

The fullness of the Father’s mystery will soon be revealed when the Woman enters fully onto the world scene by her signs and wonders.  Still, many will not believe because no one has told them and the great mystery is still covered over.  This mystery must be revealed, explained and understood so the Father’s plan for the Woman will have its full power in rescuing the world from the satanic onslaught which has already begun.

The hour is so near.  No one understands.  No one prepares.  As in the days of Noah, the daily cares capture the heart.

Yet, the Woman offers the ark of her own Immaculate Heart.  No need to build a new ark because the Spirit has constructed the perfect Ark, far greater than Noah’s, ready to resist the greatest floods in human history.

All must be told the good news.  The Woman’s heart is open to all, ready to save all who go in. All must believe and enter. 

Man has rebelled and broken the bonds of life which united him with God Who alone controls the breath of life.  All else is death.

To save the world, the Father sent His Son who proclaimed, “I am the Life” but now, the world rejects Jesus.  So, the Father empowers the Woman to evangelize and to call the world back to the fountain of living water, her Son, Jesus.

Quickly the structures will fall and human wisdom will collapse.  What will remain? Only what the Woman has built. Her fortresses will stand firm, planted throughout the world and in every society.  Even those parts of Church life not built upon her words will perish. Many will ask, “Why did we not hear her voice?” Yet, there must be no time wasted on regrets because the woman will gather all her children. Her task would have been easier if all had listened from the beginning.
