The mother of God

Who is our lady?

BarrElChapo:
Pope Francis united to all the Bishops and Catholic faithful around the world will consecrate Russia and Ukraine to the Immaculate Heart of Mary on Friday, the feast of the Annunciation.

The Act of Consecration will be prayed during the "24 Hours for the Lord" Lenten penitential service in St. Peter’s Basilica, which begins at 5 PM Rome time.

The Pope will pray the Act of Consecration around 6:30 PM, and has asked all Bishops and priests to join him spiritually in this prayer, which will be broadcast across our Vatican News channels - radio, website, YouTube, and Facebook - with English-language commentary.

We are all enjoined to take time today and plead for mercy by saying this prayer at any time for success of this consecration and that it leads to peace in Ukraine, Russia and the whole world

Here below is the official translation of the Act of Consecration:

"O Mary, Mother of God and our Mother, in this time of trial we turn to you. As our Mother, you love us and know us: no concern of our hearts is hidden from you. Mother of mercy, how often we have experienced your watchful care and your peaceful presence! You never cease to guide us to Jesus, the Prince of Peace.

Yet we have strayed from that path of peace. We have forgotten the lesson learned from the tragedies of the last century, the sacrifice of the millions who fell in two world wars. We have disregarded the commitments we made as a community of nations. We have betrayed peoples’ dreams of peace and the hopes of the young. We grew sick with greed, we thought only of our own nations and their interests, we grew indifferent and caught up in our selfish needs and concerns. We chose to ignore God, to be satisfied with our illusions, to grow arrogant and aggressive, to suppress innocent lives and to stockpile weapons. We stopped being our neighbour’s keepers and stewards of our common home. We have ravaged the garden of the earth with war and by our sins we have broken the heart of our heavenly Father, who desires us to be brothers and sisters. We grew indifferent to everyone and everything except ourselves. Now with shame we cry out: Forgive us, Lord!

Holy Mother, amid the misery of our sinfulness, amid our struggles and weaknesses, amid the mystery of iniquity that is evil and war, you remind us that God never abandons us, but continues to look upon us with love, ever ready to forgive us and raise us up to new life. He has given you to us and made your Immaculate Heart a refuge for the Church and for all humanity. By God’s gracious will, you are ever with us; even in the most troubled moments of our history, you are there to guide us with tender love.

We now turn to you and knock at the door of your heart. We are your beloved children. In every age you make yourself known to us, calling us to conversion. At this dark hour, help us and grant us your comfort. Say to us once more: “Am I not here, I who am your Mother?” You are able to untie the knots of our hearts and of our times. In you we place our trust. We are confident that, especially in moments of trial, you will not be deaf to our supplication and will come to our aid.

That is what you did at Cana in Galilee, when you interceded with Jesus and he worked the first of his signs. To preserve the joy of the wedding feast, you said to him: “They have no wine” (Jn 2:3). Now, O Mother, repeat those words and that prayer, for in our own day we have run out of the wine of hope, joy has fled, fraternity has faded. We have forgotten our humanity and squandered the gift of peace. We opened our hearts to violence and destructiveness. How greatly we need your maternal help!

Therefore, O Mother, hear our prayer.
Star of the Sea, do not let us be shipwrecked in the tempest of war.
Ark of the New Covenant, inspire projects and paths of reconciliation.
Queen of Heaven, restore God’s peace to the world.
Eliminate hatred and the thirst for revenge, and teach us forgiveness.
Free us from war, protect our world from the menace of nuclear weapons.
Queen of the Rosary, make us realize our need to pray and to love.
Queen of the Human Family, show people the path of fraternity.
Queen of Peace, obtain peace for our world.

O Mother, may your sorrowful plea stir our hardened hearts. May the tears you shed for us make this valley parched by our hatred blossom anew. Amid the thunder of weapons, may your prayer turn our thoughts to peace. May your maternal touch soothe those who suffer and flee from the rain of bombs. May your motherly embrace comfort those forced to leave their homes and their native land. May your Sorrowful Heart move us to compassion and inspire us to open our doors and to care for our brothers and sisters who are injured and cast aside.

Holy Mother of God, as you stood beneath the cross, Jesus, seeing the disciple at your side, said: “Behold your son” (Jn 19:26). In this way he entrusted each of us to you. To the disciple, and to each of us, he said: “Behold, your Mother” (v. 27). Mother Mary, we now desire to welcome you into our lives and our history. At this hour, a weary and distraught humanity stands with you beneath the cross, needing to entrust itself to you and, through you, to consecrate itself to Christ. The people of Ukraine and Russia, who venerate you with great love, now turn to you, even as your heart beats with compassion for them and for all those peoples decimated by war, hunger, injustice and poverty.

Therefore, Mother of God and our Mother, to your Immaculate Heart we solemnly entrust and consecrate ourselves, the Church and all humanity, especially Russia and Ukraine. Accept this act that we carry out with confidence and love. Grant that war may end and peace spread throughout the world. The “Fiat” that arose from your heart opened the doors of history to the Prince of Peace. We trust that, through your heart, peace will dawn once more. To you we consecrate the future of the whole human family, the needs and expectations of every people, the anxieties and hopes of the world.

Through your intercession, may God’s mercy be poured out on the earth and the gentle rhythm of peace return to mark our days. Our Lady of the “Fiat”, on whom the Holy Spirit descended, restore among us the harmony that comes from God. May you, our “living fountain of hope”, water the dryness of our hearts. In your womb Jesus took flesh; help us to foster the growth of communion. You once trod the streets of our world; lead us now on the paths of peace. Amen."

What did you mean by "believing" in your quote below?:

According to u:

Sorry to say
Then
Believing in your mother is .................

"Did the bible tell us to believe in our mother so as to obtain salvation? simple yes or no"

Na this kind argument Dem dey argue one and one

The Bible made many references to honouring and serving our parents

We would breathe here together till we are tired

Now tell me what do you mean by believing in this scenario

MaxInDHouse:


She got married, had relations with her husband and had several children after the birth of her first miraculous child. So she was once a virgin but she later loose her virginity in her marriage after getting pregnant for Joseph and having several kids for him! Matthew 13:55-56

Where is Matthew 13:55-56 did the Immaculate Blessed Virgin Mary have many children?

Good News Bible Matthew 13:55-56 “Isn’t he the carpenters son? Isn’t Mary his mother and aren’t James, Joseph, Simon and Judas his brothers? Aren’t all his sisters living here? Where did he get all this?”

Theses were the people of Nazareth speaking. Simon (Simon Peter , Judas and co were never children of the blessed Virgin Mary and he never had any other children! The people of Nazareth were only speaking ignorantly to fulfill the scriptures that Jesus would be rejected in his hometown.

Bleep you all and Bleep Mary also

athaboi:

Mother of our lord Jesus Christ

Idol worshippers. Mary did not die a virgin, After Jesu's, she gave birth to other children

HitSong:

Mary, mother of Jesus christ

Godismighty:
BarrElChapo

go and take a look at your bible and read about the miracle at the wedding of Cana, it came about the intercession of Mary. If it happened then, then we as Catholics believe that when called upon she does intercede for us to Jesus Christ.


But how can d dead hear prayers??
Think about it.

Pray tell me which church do you attend ? I would like to answer you from that standpoint

At10tion:
The Only lady you Catholics serve is Mary marguela, The Queen of the sea. Go and ask your pope. And stop being deceived.

This thread is not for atheists

Please no Catholic should argue with anybody here . The arguments will be baseless .
I wonder how many of them will know about Christianity if not for Catholic.
Who documented the Bible ?
Who interpreted the Bible ?
The original Bible as it was written in the same language and form is with the Pope .
All the religious relics , and monuments in the Bible are with who ?
The Pope seat is located where ?
The list go on and on .
Imagine someone questioning Holy Mary but believing in Jesus ??
The only woman , blessed and preserved by God , that angels came down , and greeted her . Very soon they will celebrate Easter ? Who told them about Easter ?
The womb that brought out Jesus . And she shouldn’t be honored ?
Yet they worship their GO and kneel before their pastors ? Ordinary human ... lol
What’s their type of sickness

DropsMic:
Lol.... Humans and self-deception



Meanwhile the Vatican that never deemed it fit to consecrate Tigray and Ethiopia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary despite all the atrocities happening there are now consecrating Russia and Ukraine to the Heart of Mary... Bleeping Racists.

I've always told people this, as a black man forget all what you've been told, nobody send you. Not the foreigners, not their Gods, and not even your own Leaders.

Blacks should first love themselves before expecting anyone to love them

Plenty children

Holy father, it's almost too late for this. In 1917 when our lady appeared in Fatima she specifically asked that Russia be consecrated to her immaculate heart in Union with all the bishops and priests , that if that is not done that Russia will start a great war that may wipe out the human race, she also gave so many revelation about what evils that will happen in the Catholic church, (it's so scary that the church sealed it -the third secret of Fatima- and silenced the last Fatima kids, sister Lucy. The church refused to carry out her request since then. Is it now that her revelation has started manifesting that the church want to do the consecration .

It's not about the Bible this time around. It's a revelation from our lady when she appeared to three little children in Fatima in 1917. She said if Russia is not consecrated to her immaculate heart that Russia will start a great war that will wipe out almost all the nations of the earth but at last Russia will still be consecrated to her. If you are not a Catholic, you might find it difficult to understand all this. But you can read about "third secret of Fatima" and "our lady's appearance at Fatima 1917" on the internet. This is her exact words:. " The good will be martyred, the Holy Father will have much to suffer, various nations will be annihilated. In the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph. The Holy Father will consecrate Russia to me, and she will be converted, and a period of peace will be granted to the world."
