The New and Final Dogma in Marian History: Message of Our Lady of All Nations, December 31, 1951
The Doctrine is Good
The Lady is there again. She looks at me with a smile, and she remains
so for a long time. Then the Lady starts to speak, and she says, “Child,
look carefully and listen to what I have come to tell you today. I am
not bringing a new doctrine. The doctrine is good, but the laws can be
changed.” Now the Lady points at the globe; suddenly I see Rome lying
before me and I see a Pope. (1) Then the Lady says, Tell the Pope that
he is on the right path. You have to pass this on, because people think
otherwise. The spirit of righteousness and truth shall always reign over
the world. Once again I say: this Pope is on the right path. Once again
I say: this time is Our time. I will now give…

Why the Time is Ripe for the Fifth Marian Dogma
This exceptional presentation by Fr. Peter Damian Fehlner, of the
Franciscan Friars of the Immaculate, on the solution to the great crises
facing the Church and the world today: the need to re-Marianize the
Church by recognizing the Blessed Mother’s universal mediation through
the solemn definition of her roles as Co-redemptrix, Mediatrix of all
graces and Advocate, was given at the Mary, “Unique Cooperator in the
Redemption” Symposium held at Fatima on May 3-7, 2005. – Ed.
I have chosen to entitle this final, concluding conference of our
symposium, the “Cause of Mary, Advocate.” Etymologically, cause is a
legal term. If its use to summarize our discussion of the mystery of
Mary Immaculate and of her unique place in the divine counsels governing
the economy of salvation retains a legal scent, that is quite
intentional. For the cause of Mary in the economy of salvation, the
place she…

Virginity During the Birth
It is of divine faith for Catholics to hold that our Lady not only
conceived the divine Word as man “without seed, by the Holy Spirit” but
also gave birth to Him “without corruption.” (1) According to the
Church’s Doctors, this freedom from corruption means that the God-Man
leaves His Mother’s womb without opening it (utero clauso vel
obsignato), without inflicting any injury to her bodily virginity (sine
violatione claustri virginalis), and therefore without causing her any
pain. (2) Pope St Leo the Great teaches the doctrine of our Lady’s
virginity in partu in his famous Tome, which was read and approved at
the Council of Chalcedon: “Mary brought Him forth, with her virginity
preserved, as with her virginity preserved she had conceived Him.” (3)
The Catechism speaks of our Lady’s virginity being preserved “even in
the act of giving birth to…

Mary’s Virginity During the Birth of Jesus: The Catholic Church’s Perennial Tradition
Unfortunately, there has been some recent confusion about the dogmatic
teaching of Mary’s Virginity during the birth of Jesus, one of the three
essential aspects of Our Lady’s Virginity, which was defined by Pope
St. Martin I in 649 at the First Lateran Council. This second Marian
Dogma, Our Lady’s Virginity before, during , and after the birth of
Jesus, has always included the traditional patristic and magisterial
understanding that Mary gave “miraculous birth” to Jesus (in the words
of Pope Pius XII, Mystici Corporis, 1943), without any violation to her
physical, external virginity. As the Fathers of the Church explained, as
“light passes through glass without harming the glass”, so Jesus was
born with Mary’s Virginity “in tact”, that is with the preservation of
her physical virginity, so that the Perfect Virgin would be an example
of Christian virginity, in heart and in body, for all later Christians…

Our Lady’s Perpetual Virginity
The mystery of the Incarnation is inseparable in the eternal plans of
God from the virginal conception of the Son of God in the womb of the
Blessed Virgin Mary. While God could have brought about the enfleshment
of the Word in any way that he chose, he concretely willed that the Word
should become flesh by the power of the Holy Spirit in the womb of the
Virgin Mary (Et incarnatus est de Spiritu Sancto ex Maria Virgine). This
fact transmitted to us in the gospels of St. Luke...

The Miraculous Birth of the Man-God
We present this account of the birth of Our Lord, followed by a
commentary on the account by Our Lady herself, from The Poem of the
Man-God. The Poem of the Man-God remains a legitimate mystical/spiritual
source for Christian meditation regarding the life of Jesus as recorded
by the Italian mystic, Maria Valtorta (see article, In Response to
Various Questions Regarding “The Poem of the Man-God” in the Marian
Private Revelation section). – Ed. 6th June 1944
I still see the inside of the poor stony shelter, where Mary and Joseph have found refuge, sharing the lot of some animals.
The little fire is dozing together with its guardian. Mary lifts Her
head slowly from Her bed and looks round. She sees that Joseph’s head is
bowed over his chest, as if he were meditating, and She thinks that his
good intention to remain awake has been overcome by tiredness….

Our Blessed Mother and the Christmas Mystery
The great Jesuit theologian Father John Anthony Hardon (1914-2000)
related that one Christmas, at the moment of the consecration of the
bread during Midnight Mass, the mystery of the Incarnation—Jesus taking
flesh and living with us as one of us—struck him with special profundity
when he thought to himself: “I am holding in my hands the same Jesus
that Our Blessed Lady held in her pure hands in the stable of
Bethlehem.”
Such a precious insight can only but help all of us to focus more
intently on Mary’s undeniable and essential role in that incredible,
unrepeatable action: the Logos (Word)—the Second Person of the Most
Blessed Trinity—becoming flesh and pitching His tent among us. Mary
accepted that Word…embraced that Word…loved that Word…and learned from
that Word. And this Real Presence of Christ enjoyed by His sinless
Mother and chaste foster-father Saint Joseph is effected and continued
today—and will be…

The Mother of God
The Virgin Mary … is acknowledged and honored as being truly the Mother
of God and Mother of the Redeemer. Redeemed by reason of the merits of
her son and united to him by a close and indissoluble tie, she is
endowed with the high office and dignity of being the Mother of the Son
of God, by which account she is also the beloved daughter of the Father
and the temple of the Holy Spirit. Because of this gift of sublime grace
she far surpasses all creatures, both in heaven and on earth (1).

The Mother of God in the Orthodox Church
The Virgin Mary, the Mother of God, is an enormous subject in the
Orthodox Church. At the same time it is rather modest, dogmatically
speaking. In the Orthodox Church the presence of Mary is defined by only
two dogmas, but she is advocated by a thousand names or images.
The two dogmas adopted by the ecumenical councils affirm that Mary is
Mother of God and that she is the ever-Virgin. Formerly, even the dogma
of the ever-virginity of Mary was not proclaimed officially. But it was
mentioned by the fifth ecumenical council (553) as something evident,
which goes without saying.{/footnote} All the rest of what we know about
her comes from the Ecclesial Tradition, history, popular devotion, and
the Holy Spirit.

Heaven Speaks to Those Who Do Not Know Jesus
The messages of “Jesus Christ, the Returning King” as conveyed through
Anne A Lay Apostle continue to be the source of untold graces of
conversion, peace, and joy on all five continents. In August, 2011,
Bishop Leo O’Reilly of the Diocese of Kilmore reiterated his official
permission for the worldwide distribution of these anointed messages. By
their fruits, you will know their supernatural source –Ed.
December 21, 2006 I am Jesus. I am God. I am complete in Myself. I am
present in your world and I am present in heaven. You see, I am
omnipresent. Even if you wish to, you cannot remove yourself from My
presence on earth. I created earth. You might say the earth belongs to
Me. All in it, are also My creation. You, dear beloved one, were created
by Me. Do I say that you belong to Me? I say it in another…
