Why should we pray to Virgin Mary? The reasons are many.
Why do Catholics pray to Mother Mary? Is Rosary really powerful?
The intercession of Mother Mary is very powerful as Jesus cannot neglect His mothers commands.This can be proved by the first miracle Jesus did at the wedding at Cana. – (John 2:1-11). Mother Mary told Jesus “They have no more wine.” And what was the final result? He turned water into wine.
In “The Poem of the Man-God” by Maria Valtorta, she says that Jesus told her about this incident as “I did it for Mary”. This proves that the intercession of Mother Mary is very very strong.
Mother Mary was blessed with Holy Spirit abundantly. We can see this as we read “At that time Mary got ready and hurried to a town in the hill country of Judea, where she entered Zechariah’s home and greeted Elizabeth. When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.” (Luke 1:39-41) ; just by Virgin Mary’s greeting.
Listen to the talk from Apologetics on Mary, Purgatory and The Bible
What the angels thought on this matter:-
When angel appeared before Zechariah,father of John, angel just greets him by his name ,nothing more although he was “upright in the sight of God, observing all the Lord’s commandments and regulations blamelessly.” – (Luke 1:6)
When angel appeared before Joseph, the greeting was like this: “an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.” – (Matthew 1:20). Angel greeted him ‘son of david’, thats all.
Now let us see how did the angel greet Virgin Mary. It goes like this: “The angel went to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.” (Luke 1:28). See the difference….

Mother of Salvation: Pray for my Son’s Mercy so that all suffering can be diluted
Thursday September 18th, 2014, 15:30
My dear child, you must ask everyone to ask for God’s Mercy in all those matters, which involve the destruction of humanity. I refer to the wicked plans involving wars; plans to introduce a global vaccine – which you were warned about in the message of 26 November 2010 (message 20) – genocide and the murder of Christians, as well as other people of different religions, by the hands of evil men.
When a soul is infested by Satan, it is capable of the most intense hatred for God’s children. When groups of men work together, in complete subjugation to the evil one, their wickedness is manifested in every act so as to cause death and destruction to those over whom they control.
You must pray, all of you, to hinder the plans of evil men whose desire is to reduce the world’s population, for their own gain. Those who are spared this evil will find themselves under the control of an invisible group. I call upon each and every one of you to pray to my Son, Jesus Christ, in order to help mitigate such tragedies and wickedness. Some of these horrors can be mitigated, but not all of them. Your prayers will, however, dilute the impact of these terrible acts, which are carried out by followers of the evil one. Please recite this Crusade Prayer to help mitigate the murder of innocents.
Children, when the prophecies foretold happen, it is important that you pray for my Son’s Mercy so that all suffering can be diluted and that wicked deeds, perpetrated against humanity, can be allayed.
Go in peace and love to serve the Lord.
Your beloved Mother

Mother of Salvation: Beware of the man, who declares himself to be the Son of Man
Friday, September 19th, 2014, 13:14
My dear child, it has been foretold that many false prophets will arise and that, during this time, they will spread untruths about the Word of God.
They will arise in their hundreds of thousands and be endorsed by those who claim to represent my Son’s servants. They will preach in small, as well as large, groups and you will know them by the false prophecies, which they will reveal to the world. They will be seen as very holy people, and some will say that they have great healing powers of the flesh as well as the spirit. Some will wear the garments of holy men and they will promote a new missal, which will deviate from the Truth. Many people will be confused by their teachings, as they will mix their false claims with part of the Truth. One of their objectives will be to be seen to prepare the world for the Second Coming of Christ and they will create great anticipation of this event amongst my Son’s followers. But, it will not be my Son, Jesus Christ, they will be preparing God’s children to welcome. No. It will be the antichrist.
Grave errors, will be revealed by them in connection with the Book of Revelation as they will twist the contents of this Holy Book. Few will know that they are being fed lies and the greatest untruth, which they will proclaim, will be this. They will say that Jesus Christ, the Son of Man, will make Himself known in the world soon. That He will come in the flesh. That he will walk amongst His people and that He will raise them up on the last day. This could never happen for my Son, who came in the flesh, the first time, through His Birth, will never come in the flesh at His Second Coming.
Beware of the man, who declares himself to be the Son of Man, who calls you to him, for he will not be from God. My Son will come in the clouds just as He left the earth during His Ascension into Heaven so, too, will it be on the last day.
Your beloved Mother

I never criticised sinners. I never cursed them. I never hurt them.
Saturday, September 20th, 2014, 16:38
My dearly beloved daughter, know that out of human weakness I draw great strength. My Power is at its greatest when I touch the souls of the weak, for it is then that I can draw upon them to enable Me to act within them.
To those of you who are weak, you must ask Me to give you the Gift of trust. Trust in Me, My dear little ones, and then all Power is Mine. I cannot draw upon the souls of the proud, the haughty and the arrogant, as they will not humble themselves in My Eyes. Pride is a barrier between man and God because the proud man believes that his voice is greater than Mine. That is the way it has always been. Today it is no different. I ask that you all pray for those souls who misunderstand Me and who feel the need to declare what My Word really means, according to their own interpretation.
When a man curses another and then says this is what God would want when defending His Word, or when he justifies wrongdoing and says that this is a good thing in My Eyes, know this. When you love Me, you will never deviate from the love that I taught or the way in which you must imitate Me. I never criticised sinners. I never cursed them. I never hurt them and I never denounced them. So, too, must you do as I did.
Embrace sinners. Pray for them. For, if you do not, you will defy My Will and your actions will serve only your own flawed view as to Who I Am. You cannot say you are of Me if you preach the opposite to what I taught. Never look down on those you believe to be sinners in My Eyes. Pray for them but never judge them for this is not your right.
Your Jesus

God preserves His Love for man through the family unit
Sunday, September 21st, 2014, 17:45
My dearly beloved daughter, My Heart belongs to all families and it is My Desire to bless every family, small, medium or large at this time. When love is present within families, this means that God’s Power is upheld, for all His children belong to Him. It was He Who created every single one of them.
God preserves His Love for man through the family unit because it is within such circumstances that His Love naturally thrives. The love contained within families who are united yields great Graces because, the love of family members for one another is one of the greatest Gifts from God. God uses the love in the family to spread its wings, so that each member of a loving family will help to spread this love, wherever they go. Likewise, when the family unit breaks down, this will have a direct impact on your community, your society and upon your nations.
When God created Adam and Eve, He desired a family of His Own, upon which He lavished everything. He will always strive to protect families because this is the place where love is first discovered by mortal man. When love thrives in families so, too, will it thrive in those nations. Because the love for one another evolves from the family, it is precisely for this reason, that it is attacked by Satan. Satan will use every influence he can to infest people so that they will justify every reason to break up the family unit. He will prevent families from being formed and he will try to stop it from re-uniting should that be the Will of God.
The family, borne out of the Love of God, will always be attacked by evil. To protect your family from the evil one please recite this Crusade Prayer.
Remember that God created each one of you in His Likeness so that He could create the perfect family. Be thankful for your families for it is one of the greatest Gifts He has bestowed upon the human race. When the suffering on this earth comes to an end, and when hatred is obliterated, God will unite humanity as one in Him. You will become whole again and His Family will have Eternal Life.
Your Jesus

29-Dec-1943 − The Father’s Lesson on the Name of His Son
The Eternal Father says:
«Write, for there is someone who so desires and thinks of this.»
Paul of Tarsus, at one time a supporter of the synedrium and a relentless persecutor of Christ’s disciples, having returned to the Light by way of a divine thunderbolt and become the tireless Apostle of my Son, in the Areopagus of Athens announced to the Athenians that unknown God to whom they had dedicated an altar.
Now as well, many living altars are deprived of their God and could write on their religious nudity at least these words: “To the Unknown God.â€
They do not write even this, inferior in their paganism to the Athenians of old, who, not satisfied with their images without true life and not beclouded by religious apathy, as you are, felt that above the deceitful Olympus of their gods, to whom they had lent their passions and their vices, there was a true and holy God, and they called upon Him to make Himself known through that altar dedicated to Him, upon which there was not yet a statue or a name, as they waited for Divine Revelation to affix them to it.
But you know the true God, for I have been revealing Him to you for ages and ages, and, not satisfied with revealing Him to you, I sent you God Himself, not by a deceitful apparition or fleeting dwelling, but robed in human Flesh and living among you for a whole lifetime.
I gave a name to that Perfection of God’s − remember, O men, that God is Charity, and the compendium and perfection of Charity is had in Christ, who became incarnate to give you Life − who had descended to act in your midst. A holy name willed by Me, for in his Name there is the compendium of his Perfection and his sublime mission. A Name known to God alone in its true meaning. A Name before which the Divinity throbs with more lively ardor, Paradise shines with more beatific splendor with all its processions of angels and saints, the abyss trembles, and the forces of the Universe bend their powers, for they recognize the name of the King through whom all things have been made.
In the thrice holy and powerful name of Jesus is the splendor and glory of the Triune God, for He is the Holy of Holies, in whom there is found, as in the Temple of God, the living, true, and perfect God as He is in Heaven, eternal and active, like a wheel which undergoes no welding and does not cease its movement in the ages and ages preceding man and the ages and ages following man. Hence the Book rightly states, “You, man, will not build the house for my Name, but your son, who will emerge from your entrails, will be the one who will build a house for my Name.â€
The Son of Man, born of a woman of a holy lineage, consecrated to Me, by the will of the Holy Spirit conceived without the weight of carnality, but by an infusion of love alone, the One Born of Mary, who did not open the virginal womb at birth, as at his conception no one violated that womb consecrated to Me − your son through the Mother, O Humanity, and my Son by his divine origin, shall be the One who shall make Himself the House upon which the Glory of my Name is engraved.
For We are inseparable in our Trinity, and in Christ there are the Father and the Son and the Divine Spirit. The Son is nothing but the Word of the Father, who has taken on a form to be Redemption for you. But his annihilation does not break the union of the Three Persons, for the Perfection of God knows no limitation or separation.
How could you contain God in such an infinite and holy temple as the Divinity requires? Only God Himself could be a temple for God and bear his Name without this being an irony and offense. Only God could dwell in Himself and make the temples of man alive with Himself, upon which the name affixed by man is no longer fallacious because I have given you that Name.
Only God, O Christians, could give you his Name as a sign of salvation upon all the races of the Earth, that Name which the angels will read on the brows of those who will not die eternally and preserve them, through that Name, from the scourges of the final hour, as it has already preserved from the second death the elect who are singing the holiness of my Son in the heavenly dwelling.
Woe to those who deny the Name and offend it by substituting the demoniacal sign of Satan for this Name, which is holy, or who simply allow spiritual languor to forget it as if a corrosive substance were erasing it from their self, which has Life through that Name. Death, true Death, awaits the deniers of the name of my Son, to whom I have submitted all power and all judgment and in whose Name my Majesty bows at each miracle, as in the Universe every creature ought to bow in holy and loving worship.
Oh, children of my Son − who carried his Name to be reddened with Divine Blood on the steep ascent of Calvary and to shine as the only light of the obscured world in the darkness of Good Friday, so that it would be a warning pointing to Heaven, for which you have been made, and it has been shining for centuries to go on reminding you of Heaven, and never as now does it flash out to call you to Itself in this wrath created, incited, and willed by you, wherein you are perishing amidst gurgles of blood and the laughter of demons − O children of my Son, graze once more the Holy Name of Jesus Christ, on the altar of your hearts without God, on the profaned temple of your minds, with your pain turning back to God, with, your hope rising up again to God, with your faith being rebaptized by tears, and with your love rediscovering the way of Charity. Free heart and mind from the images of a cult bringing you spiritual death. Place the true God in them and upon them. Love, sing, invoke, bless, and believe in the Name of my Son.
In the Name of the Just, Holy, Strong One, the Dominator, the Victor. In the Name of Him before whom the Father does not resist and for whom the Spirit effuses his rivers of sanctifying grace. In the Name of the Merciful One, who loves you to the point of having wanted to endure earthly life and death and become Food to nourish your weakness and a Sacrament to remain in your midst beyond his return to Heaven and to bear God into you.
I swear to you by my Holiness: there is not, was not, and shall not be a greater name than This One. I, Triune, am in It with my supreme manifestation of power and love.»
He further states:
«Introduce tomorrow’s date. Jesus Christ, the son of David, ought to have celebrated his Name on the day of the royal Prophet from whom Mary proceeds.»

28-Dec-1943 − Mary on the Sacrifice of Innocence
Mary says: «The first tears of my Child trembled in the air eight days after his Birth. It was the first pain of my Jesus.
He was the Lamb, and like a lamb He was marked with the sign of the Lord so that he would be consecrated to Him − the Firstborn, according to divine and human law, among all the living.
His consecration to God the Father had already taken place in Heaven when He had offered Himself as the Expiator of sin and Redeemer of man, changing his spiritual nature into that of a Man, The Word made Flesh through a loving desire.
The Victim already laid upon the stone of the heavenly altar, a holy Victim with no defect, He did not need other consecrations, always imperfect as compared to his sublime one. But such was the Law, and no one, except those to whom God had revealed the nature of my Son, knew that the Child of the Galilean woman was the Holy One, the Lord’s Anointed, the Eternal Pontiff, the Redeemer and King. The Law thus had to be complied with for this firstborn male, born for the Lord and offered to Him according to his Will.
All of the sons of Abraham were circumcised, but the sign upon the firstborn was truly the ring uniting them to God and consecrating them on the altar. At our altar only those who had first undergone this mystical marriage for the Lord could be offered. The firstborn of the Jews were holy twice over because of both the circumcision and the offering at the Temple. Infinitely holy was the Innocent One who was crying on my breast after having shed the first drops of that Blood which is forgiveness.
If the spirits of those present at the rite had been alive, they would have understood the Majesty that was hidden behind that Flesh of an infant, and they would have worshipped God, appearing among men to take men to God. But then, as now, men’s hearts were encumbered by what is practice and not religion, self-interest and not detachment from the world, egoism and not charity, pride and not humility. The face of God did not appear, then, to their eyes, shining through from the Flesh of the Innocent One.
To know God one must make the search for God the purpose of one’s life. He then reveals Himself with no more mystery − that is, with that portion of mystery which He, in his wisdom, deems good to reserve for you so as not to burn you to ashes with his Radiance, for − know this, Maria − the vision of God as He is − and as in Heaven alone it is granted to see, for in Heaven there are spirits whom sanctity has already made capable of contemplating God − is of such power that our nature can bear it only when made into the likeness of God, just as a son can always see the power and beauty of his father without feeling dismayed and prostrated on this account.
It is in Heaven, beyond human life, that man takes on the true likeness of God; it is then that he can look at Him fixedly and increase his radiance with the Divine Radiance, and his blessedness, contemplating the Love that loves you.
The Blood of my Son, in dripping forth, asked for a purple cortege of additional innocent blood.
Christ’s feet would bodily tread upon the rough terrain of Palestine, rendered even more hostile to his passing by evil human will, which joined its spite, deceit, betrayal, and crime to the brambles and stones along the way.
The King of the Jews and King of the world did not have soft, precious carpets under his foot. Even in the hour of his short-lived human success − so human that, as the result of the exultation of a crowd over the presumed King of the Jews, the one who was to restore glory to the Jewish people, it fell like a puff of wind no longer swelling the sail and turned into a storm − even then He had only poor clothing and olive branches, the homage of the poor, beneath his even poorer mount.
But the God-Man on earth and God in Heaven saw what men did not see; and when my Christ went back to Heaven, after the martyrdom, to receive the Father’s embrace, his pierced Feet flew swiftly over a precious carpet of living purple, which had remained as a holy wake from earth to Heaven when my Son’s first martyrs − the little innocents − had fallen like sheaves of spikes mowed down by the reaper and like meadows of budding flowers cut down to become hay, reddening the way to Heaven with their blood.
Every redemption needs forerunners to prepare it. And not so much with words as with sacrifice. The Redemption, now begun, at its dawning received the sacrifice of innocence slain by ferocity and at its noon the sacrifice of penance killed by the lust for which penance is a reproach.
The Blood of Golgotha fell in the midst of these two heroic kinds of blood to teach you that it is between innocence and penance that the Redeemer rests, and that the Blood of Christ calls your blood to the glory of pain to sanctify it and to sanctify the world by joining itself to the Most Holy Blood of my Son.»

29-Dec-1943 − An Explanation of the Wounds on Christ’s Hands
Jesus says:
«The wounds in my palms, which you have not seen because I rarely move my left hand, both because of the habit contracted in work and because it is more wounded, were inflicted in the following way.
The executioners’ idea was to hang Me by the wrist joints, immediately above the carpus, to make the attachment more secure. And, in fact, after having extended Me on the cross, they pierced my right hand at this point.
But, since the builder of the scaffold had marked the hole on the left (he usually marked the place for the nails to enable them to enter more easily into the thick wood and make the hanging of a body placed not horizontally, but vertically, and with no other support but three long nails, more secure), more distant than the point which my wrist joint could reach, after having stretched my arm to the point of producing the tearing of my tendons, they decided to hammer the nail into the center of my palm, between the bones of the metacarpus.
This is not observed in the Turin Shroud because the right hand covers the left hand. The wounding of the members, suffered intensely, was more immense because, once the cross was raised, when the weight of the Body shifted downward and forward, the nail greatly cut towards the thumb, expanding the hole more than on the right, where the carpus withstood the hanging better than the metacarpus. And it was also the most tormenting, both because it was on the side of the heart and because the nail, on entering, broke the nerves and tendons in the hand, causing an atrocious agony which spread to my head.
Painters and sculptors who out of a sense of art have depicted Me or sculpted Me with my right hand half open and my left hand closed in a fist have, without so desiring, borne witness to a physical truth of my martyred Body, for the left hand really closed into a fist, both in agony and because of the breaking of the cut nerves, and it closed increasingly because the agony and the contraction of the nerve fibers augmented with the passing of the hours.
My agonies on the Cross were numerous. I will tell you about them one day. But this agony of the hands was one of the cruelest. The wound on the right hand is almost completely hidden by the sleeve and is smaller and more regular.
When I appeared to you as the Man of Sorrows heading for Calvary you did not see the wounds on my hands because, as I was not yet crucified, I consequently did not yet have them. On my hands was the blood dripping from my crowned head and my skin, lacerated by scourges, but not the wounds. I will show them to you at a time more consistent than this Christmas period with such a vision of pain.
As regards those words whose true meaning you do not understand, know that they mean “trafficking with Satan.†It is carried out in many ways, all of them cursed by Me. I will also talk to you about this one day. For the time being, know that it is frequently practiced in the world and is the cause of many misfortunes and inexorable punishments here and in eternity.
That’s enough for now. Rest. I am here, and I bless you.»

25-Dec-1943 − Mary’s Christmas Ecstasy
Mary says:
«The blessedn
