I am He Who Is!

I am He who Is! Little children, this sentence should suffice to make you reflect. Who among you can say this? Only I Am He who takes away the sins of the world, He who forgives the sins of His own children, He who listens to and knows all your hearts. I lead you because I know the way, I give consolation when My children are anxious, I guide your steps. Whoever turns away from Me is seriously at risk of being lost.

I Am the Way, the Truth and the Life: you cannot live without Me. The death of the spirit is the worst thing that could happen to you. Do not deceive yourselves: only by following in my footsteps can you manage to conquer salvation. Myself, and your Mother, have the possibility to guide and help you so that you would not be lost. She alone has the power to help you and lead you to salvation — she who leads you into the truth and the prudence necessary to walk the right way.[1] Entrust her with all your concerns, your problems, your weaknesses, and you will see that everything will seem easier to you. I entrust you to her Immaculate Heart, above all in these difficult times, but you too should seek to allow her to give direction to your lives. Do not live in fear: with her you are safe, but Satan in his wickedness may interfere in order to take away your peace. I assure you that I am always with you: live in my light and secure for yourselves the joy and serenity that you need in order to live discreetly. Entrust your days to Me and I will not leave you lacking for peace, harmony with your brothers and sisters, and the hope of eternal salvation. I love you and bless you.

My Immaculate Heart will be your refuge and the way that will lead you to God. —Our Lady of Fatima to the seers, June 13, 1917

Far from stealing Christ’s thunder, Mary is the lightning that illuminates the Way to Him! 100% devotion to Mary is 100% devotion to Jesus. She does not take away from Christ, but takes you to Him. —Mark Mallett

↑1 This statement is to be understood in the context of the motherhood of Mary, to whom has been given in these times a special role in the order of grace in “giving birth” to the whole People of God. Neither does this maternal role suggest that you and I, her children, have no role or lack the power of the Holy Spirit in our commission to be “the light of the world.” Rather, as the Catechism of the Catholic Church states: “This motherhood of Mary in the order of grace continues uninterruptedly from the consent which she loyally gave at the Annunciation and which she sustained without wavering beneath the cross, until the eternal fulfillment of all the elect. Taken up to heaven she did not lay aside this saving office but by her manifold intercession continues to bring us the gifts of eternal salvation. . . . Therefore the Blessed Virgin is invoked in the Church under the titles of Advocate, Helper, Benefactress, and Mediatrix… Jesus, the only mediator, is the way of our prayer; Mary, his mother and ours, is wholly transparent to him: she “shows the way” (hodigitria), and is herself “the Sign” of the way”… (CCC, 969, 2674) Pope St. John Paul II adds: “On this universal level, if victory comes it will be brought by Mary. Christ will conquer through her because He wants the Church’s victories now and in the future to be linked to her…” —Crossing the Threshold of Hope, p. 221
