“In the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph.” (Our Lady of Fatima)

Offering as a Little Victim of Love for the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary:

O Immaculate Virgin Mother of God and my Mother Mary, I consecrate myself entirely to you with a filial love that knows no limits. For the greatest possible glory of God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit and for the salvation and sanctification of souls, I offer myself as a little victim of love for the triumph of your Most Pure and Immaculate Heart.

Deign, oh my Mother, to accept this humble offering and give me the grace to do everything through, with and in Your Heart. May you use me as You wish. Transform me completely within your Immaculate Heart so that I may disappear and you alone remain. Amen.

Ave Maria!

In fact, what we will discover is that in order for us to be instruments in bringing about the triumph and reign of Our Lady in the world, she must first and foremost triumph and reign in us. The glorious, universal triumph of Mary’s Heart starts in our hearts. The triumph must be realized one heart at a time. That said, the spiritual program of this little victimhood of love starts at home. It begins with our consecration to her maternal heart, the imitation of her virtues, the awareness and correspondence to her ongoing spiritual presence, the death to the world and to ourselves and the mystical transformation in the Most Holy Trinity in the depth of the divine sanctuary of her Immaculate Heart. In a word, we must experience and live her motherly presence first hand and then we will be able to bring that presence to others by our lives, words, prayers, and actions.  

(the prayer above) can serve as a model for offering oneself as a little victim of love for the triumph of Mary’s most pure and Immaculate Heart.

Homily #150815n ( 10min) Play – Father asks if the dogma of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary is scriptural, is it found in the Bible? Is it explicitly in there? No, but neither is the Trinity, the Hypostatic Union, nor the inerrancy of Scripture. This are all inferred from Scripture. Father points out where we find this scriptural backing for the Assumption in Luke and Revelations. He focuses on chapter 12 of Revelations which speaks of the battle between the Blessed Virgin Mary and Satan, and tells us that this spiritual warfare is still going on today, in fact, it is particularly intense today. If we are with Mary, we will triumph over the dragon, but if we are not, we will be consumed.

Using the combat analogy so appropriate for describing the spiritual struggle of Christians in this world, Fr. Matthias observes that the majority of Christians are unarmed against the enemies of the soul. The “weapon” of the Holy Rosary, praised by popes and saints, is vastly under-valued,  under-utilized, to the detriment of souls and Christian civilization. Serious Christians, practiced in the use of the this holy weapon, need to get into the battle. Victory is assuredly ours, but every Christian “soldier” needs to be “armed” and deployed.

Ave Maria!

In 1884, exactly thirty-three years to the day before the momentous 1917 “Miracle of the Sun,” Pope Leo XIII overheard Satan and Our Lord talking, in a mystical experience. He heard Satan boast that he could destroy the Church within a hundred years and he heard Our Lord respond by granting him that period to try.

Many believe the appearance and messages of Our Lady of Fatima coincide with the beginning of the hundred-year assault on the Church, referred to by Pope Leo XIII. Our Lady warned of impending crises and assures us of the eventual Triumph of Her Immaculate Heart.

The tragic evil directed against America sixteen years ago today urges us still today, as in the case of present evils, to respond with a spirit of Christian faith. As we remember our loss and pray for the dead and those yet to be reconciled, let us practice Christian peace based on conversion and faithful obedience to the will of God.

Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us!

Ave Maria!

Fr Alan explains that the assertion that the early Church was “communist” is not accurate, given the reality of the contemporary communist ideology. It was communion with Christ, rather, that enabled the community to share their goods selflessly with one another.

 The Triumph of the Maternal Heart of Mary

But when the fullness of time came, God sent his son, born of a woman (Gal 4:4) namely that Woman who shall crush the head of the serpent (Gen 3:15) , who shall appear clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars (Rev 12:1,5).

This Woman, in pronouncing her Fiat, became the Virgin Mother of God by the power of the Holy Spirit. At that moment her Immaculate Heart became a Maternal Heart; a Mother’s Heart for Jesus and for all those who would be united to her only Son in the Mystical Body of Christ. For this reason Saint Bonaventure exclaims; “The Holy Spirit transformed the Immaculate Heart of the Mother of God into a furnace of His love and instrument of His marvelous operation.”

The obedience of the Immaculata in her Fiat indicates a new triumph for her Heart, the triumph over the disobedience of Eve, the triumph of the coming of Christ the King, the New Adam, the triumph of her divine and virginal maternity, the triumph of the most profound intimacy between God and humanity in the virginal womb beneath her Maternal Heart. One cannot overlook the triumph of her Heart when she intervened with her maternal mediation for the spouses at the wedding feast of Cana. In fact, it is precisely her Heart as mother of Jesus that hastens the hour of the King and this first of his signs Jesus worked at Cana of Galilee; and he manifested his glory, and his disciples believed in him. (Jn. 2:1,11)

Fr Ignatius gives the homily at Bloomington, IN on Jun 25, 2022, on how the feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary is connected with the Sacred Heart of Jesus and also to the overturning of Roe v. Wade, as well as the last celebration connected with Easter so speaks so well of the triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

The triumph of the Immaculate Heart started in 1981 with the saving of JPII’s life from the assassination attempt and continues to unfold even now with victories like Roe v. Wade.
