PF…this was a very unexpected gift from our bishop….( he has a Vatican appointment of sorts too) But we’re thrilled. Im particularly thrilled because Fatima is my devotion. I have a Fatima table each year at the celebration of the birth of Our Lady. The table has books, rosaries, leaflets, movies, scapulars etc. trying to spread the Fatima devotion and message. Having this consecration is so important to all of humanity! Praise be Jesus!
Wonderful! This must be extra special for you. I just happened to give my mother in law a book about Fatima a couple weeks ago, along with several other devotional books, and the Fatima one is the one she chose to read first... She told me yesterday she can't put it down, and I was able to tell her about the upcoming consecration. It seemed providential, so she understands what's happening!
I am so happy to be able to share the news that my Bishop (of Vancouver), will be participating in the Consecration on March 25th. This notice was posted today in my Parish bulletin.
Life Site News are doing a constantly updating list of Bishops and Bishops Conferences that are doing the Consecration with the Holy Father. My heart sinks. Ireland is on the missing list and not a single Irish Bishop. Why oh why? It will be interesting to see what the Heretic Germans get up to. https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/c...ia/?utm_source=featured&utm_campaign=catholic Here are the bishops and bishop conferences who have so far confirmed their participation: Bishops’ conferences The Roman Catholic Bishops of Ukraine The Greek Catholic Bishops of Ukraine The Episcopal Conference of Latin America (CELAM) The Catholic Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales The Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines The Spanish Episcopal Conference (SEC) Individual bishops Archbishop Mieczysław Mokrzycki of Lviv, Ukraine Bishop Athanasius Schneider, auxiliary bishop of Astana, Kazakhstan Bishop Strickland of Tyler, Texas Archbishop John Michael Miller of Vancouver, Canada
The Bishops are very slow. There's not a load of time left. If He'd asked them to sponsor a conference on Gay Rights a whole lot more of them would be falling over themselves to sign up.
Hallelujah! This is Incredible. God Bless Pope Francis. Pope Francis is doing what even Popes St. John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI did not do, and for that matter what Pope Pius XI and Pope Ven. Pius XII did not do either. God Bless Pope Francis. And may God give us the Long-Desired Conversion of Russia and the Promised World Peace. I have Great Hopes now that the Collegial Consecration will bring about World Peace. Here is more on that note: "In a letter sent urgently on Mar. 17 to all U.S. bishops, the Apostolic Nuncio to the United States, Archbishop Christophe Pierre, revealed that Pope Francis intends to invite all Catholic bishops and priests around the world to join the Act of Consecration of Russia and Ukraine to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. The letter, sent by Reverend Michael J.K. Fuller, General Secretary of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) and signed by Archbishop Pierre, reveals that "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 5:00 pm Rome time." "In the coming days," adds the letter, “the Holy Father will address a letter of invitation to the Bishops, enclosing the text of the Prayer of Consecration in the various languages." Pope Francis will lead an Act of Consecration of Russia and Ukraine to the Immaculate Heart of Mary on the Feast of the Annunciation, Mar. 25, at St Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican. The Pontifical Almoner, Cardinal Konrad Krajewski, will preside over the act of consecration at the same time in Fatima, Portugal. The Apostolic Nuncio’s letter also revealed that a letter of invitation is being extended to the members of the diplomatic corps in Washington, D.C. 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, Mar. 25." Taken from: https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/...ld-to-join-him-in-consecrating-russia-ukraine Sacred Heart of Jesus, Have Mercy on us. Immaculate Heart of Mary, Convert Russia. Most Chaste Heart of St. Joseph, Pray for us. It couldn't have come at a Better Time! Today is the Feast of St. Joseph, and Next Week, as the Pope said, is the Annunciation. May all the Bishops join in, just like Bp. Athanasius Schneider asked: https://www.lifesitenews.com/blogs/...h-pope-in-consecration-of-russia-on-march-25/
What? I don’t see the U. S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) listed and I just got off the website….Nothing currently there either.
They were requested by the US Papal Nuncio but so far nothing, nada, zilch. My guess would be that some of them, especially the gay ones, won't be onboard with this. There will be loads and loads of heel digging. I can think off hand of at least three Gay US Cardinals who won't be happy campers about all this. The Devil hates Mary..and his children don't like her any much better.
Last night, I was discussing this with my sister on the phone and we both agreed that this will not be the consecration as requested by the Blessed Mother, but that it will eventually occur after the Holy Mother Church has endured even more great persecutions/chastisements, perhaps even the final one predicted in the alleged St. Malachy papal prophecies…..
In addition to the letter I sent to my local Bishop, I also contacted the USCCB. No response. I didn’t expect a personal response but sending this to them was my solemn prayerful request from a lay faithful. All we can do now is our part of praying and fasting. Happy Saint Joseph’s Day! I’m going to renew my consecration to him today.
They may not want to. But what plausible excuse could they give not to? I am sure they are racking their old brains..
