Our Lady of the Rosary
October 7, 2010
Our Lady of the Rosary!Dear Family of Mary!"Dear children! Today, like never before, I invite you to prayer. Let your prayer be a prayer for peace. Satan is strong and desires to destroy not only human life, but also nature and the planet on which you live. Therefore, dear children, pray that through prayer you can protect yourselves with God's blessing of peace. God has sent me among you so that I may help you. If you so wish, grasp for the Rosary. Even the Rosary alone can work miracles in the world and in your lives. I bless you and I remain with you for as long as it is God's will. Thank you for not betraying my presence here and I thank you because your response is serving the good and the peace." (January 25, 1991) This amazing message captured our attention in 1991, and still does today. "God has sent me among you." God has indeed sent Our Lady to be with us in these days in such a spectacular way. "The Rosary alone can work miracles in the world and in your lives!" Haven't we seen the miracles! Haven't we seen conversions and healings and turns of events that defy explanation in our time! It is the grace of the rosary. Daniel S. from Papua New Guinea recently sent us a beautiful understanding of Our Lady and her rosary. He wrote: "The Ark of Mother Mary has set sail, happy are those who have gotteninto the Ark; the door of Ark is still open for those who wish to enter." Isn't this beautiful! The Ark of Mother Mary! I asked Daniel if this was a quote from somewhere, and he replied:
"Well Cathy, thanks a lot; it is not a quote; I just came up with this phrase (thanks to Mother Mary, she gave me these thoughts).
"This is how I came up with the phrase, in brief: I learned of Mary as the Ark by reciting the Litany to the Blessed Virgin; so just a few months ago, somehow I was thinking of the story of Noah and the Ark he was building (reread the story again). We know what happen during Noah's time. What happened in Noah's time is happening in our time NOW. Those who choose to enter the ark will do so, those who wish to remain in this world, choose as they wish. "That Ark of Mary is sailing throughout the world. We are in a time of grace. Once the builders of the Ark have done what they have to do as per the guidance of Mother Mary - (the builders of the Ark are people like you and me, those who recite Rosary, and live by the Rosary, those with humble hearts who long to do good to others regardless of faith, races etc.) - once Mary is satisfied with the work done, she will deliver the key to her Son. From what we know of Noah's story, God closed the door to the Ark while Noah and all creatures and his family were inside; so likewise, God alone will close the period of Grace in which Mother Mary is with us. And only the family of God who chooses to be with the Mother, to be in the Ark will be saved from the flood. The flood in our time now is the flood of challenges and struggles that this life brings. It is already happening. However, the door to the Ark is still open for those who choose to enter.
"SO BE GLAD AND CONTINUE THE ROAD YOU HAVE CHOSEN, RECITE THE ROSARY EVERYDAY.
"So Cathy, this is how the Ark of the Old Testament is related to Mother Mary as the Ark of our time. Use this phrase to proclaim Mary, she must be known to all humanity." Daniel Sipat I love this simple but clear analogy. Our Lady (and her Rosary) is the Ark of our day, the vessel of safety from the storms of our age. Our Lady sails all over the world to find her children and offer them safe passage with her, through the prayer of the Rosary. All can enter in. No one is excluded! The Rosary is for everyone. But this time of grace is not forever. "I bless you and I remain with you for as long as it is God's will." As Daniel said, the door is open only until God chooses to close it. Let's not hesitate to enter, and let's invite everyone to enter with us! Thank you Mother, for your Rosary and for this beautiful Ark of safety you give us in these days. Thank you, Father, for Mary and her Rosary! In Jesus and Mary!
