It's certainly true, anyone who hasn't done the first 5 Saturdays devotion should start now if they can! My sister and brother are starting, praise God!
Here, too. Guessing my million and one children are feeling it, too. I see where God uses calamities to bring us back to him….a sweet woman I’ve know for a very long time, texted me to ask about fasting. God is moving and there are many receptive souls.

Gomez of Los Angeles, Archbishop Christophe Pierre, current Apostolic Nuncio to the United States, provides formal notice about the upcoming papal consecration of Russia and Ukraine and asks Archbishop Gomez “to inform the members of the USCCB and, through them, the priests of the various dioceses and eparchies of the country….” “In the context of the tragic events unfolding in Ukraine,” writes Archbishop Pierre, “the Holy Father, Pope Francis will lead an Act of Consecration of Russia and Ukraine to the Immaculate Heart of Mary on the Feast of the Annunciation, March 25th next.” The Nuncio goes on: “The Holy Father intends to invite each Bishop, or equivalent in law, together with his priests, to join in this act of consecration, if possible, at an hour corresponding to 5pm Rome time. In the coming days, the Holy Father will address a letter of invitation to the Bishops, enclosing the text of the Prayer of Consecration in the various languages. I write now, asking you to inform the members of the USCCB and, through them, the priests of the various dioceses and eparchies of the country, about the Holy Father’s invitation.” “The same information,” Archbishop Pierre explains, “will be shared with the federal authorities in Washington, D.C. and with the Diplomatic Corps of this capital. An invitation is being extended to the members of the same Corps to attend a Mass offered by Cardinal Wilton Gregory, Archbishop of Washington, at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception at 12 noon on Friday, March 25th next.” Archbishop Pierre’s letter is attached to an official memorandum from from USCCB General Secretary Fr. Michael J.K. Fuller which states: Your Eminence / Your Excellency, I am pleased to share the attached copy of a letter from His Excellency Most Reverend Christophe Pierre, Apostolic Nuncio, regarding the Act of Consecration of Russia and Ukraine to the Immaculate Heart of Mary on the Feast of the Annunciation, March 25th. While this “invitation” from Pope Francis to the bishops is obviously not the same as an “order”, which is what Our Lady specified, it is nonetheless a positive sign. Let us keep praying and fasting for the consecration to be done according to Heaven’s specific conditions! Full text of the USCCB memorandum and letter from the Apostolic Nuncio available here.

It sounds like a very polite order to me, with a very specific plan. I will be praying for the laity to show up in droves to public consecrations. Let's show the world where our help comes from!
It is really also quite remarkable that the 25th of the month Medugorie apparition of Our Lady will occur shortly after the consecration …. About an hour later. prayer and fasting in preparation. Our Lady, Queen of Peace, pray for us!
I am going to pray every day until the 25th that this comes to be realized - it is not done until it is done, and I am sure the devil will try to do everything in his power to prevent this from happening.
wow. That’s remarkable. So many things lining up not in the ways we humans expected. God makes straight with crooked lines. Amazing
Yes, Fr. Gruner was also the one who boldly said that Russia will become Catholic after the Consecration in a YouTube video I watched many years ago
Also tomorrow is March 18th, which is Mirjana’s annual apparition in Medjugore. If I recall correctly, March 18th is also her birthday but that is not the reason why the Blessed Mother visits her on this date. March 18 is supposed to be significant and we will know one day. Hopefully I got that correct.
Brian, Thank you! I can't help but wonder if Saint Patrick intervened for us. This is amazing! Thank you for posting this also. Maybe things like this video will help convince people that we are truly witnessing a miracle in the making!
Who told Fr Gruner or how was he told that the consecration will not be made by JPII, or his successor, but the successor of his successor? in the video he says “I have been told” I am in awe! God is great!!! Praise Jesus!
One of my recent prayers coming from the heart has been 'please God rescue us. Rescue us from this evil generation, rescue us from tyranny, rescue your people and set us free'. If this consecration goes to plan on the 25th I will be floating on a spiritual cloud. I might even levitate lol
