Sr. Mary Ephren's diary regarding Our Lady of America,
February 11, 1981

What I detect most strongly in some of the messages, especially the latest ones, is the shortness of time allotted to us to pray and make the necessary sacrifices to bring about world peace.  There is an urgency about Our Lady and when she speaks which leaves no doubts as to the closeness of the terrible purification that is about to fall upon all nations.  Everyone of us knows, in a personal way, the sacrifices expected of us.  This is a responsibility to be decided upon by each individual and carried out in a manner with love and trust in God's mercy.  God never fails those who put all their love and trust in Him.  We have nothing to fear then if we do our part.  But we must begin now because time is running out.

If possible, the family rosary should be prayed every day with as many members of the family who may be present.

The prayer,  Immaculate Conception, Patroness of the United States should be prayed once a day perhaps more than once if this can be done. 

It is evident that the Forces of Evil are enveloping the world.  Their hatred, however, is now particularly  focused on theUnited States because of the Divine Mandate given to it to lead the world to peace.

Prayer to the Immaculate Conception

O Immaculate Mother, Queen of our Country, open our hearts, our homes, and our Land to the coming of Jesus, your Divine Son. With Him, reign over us, O heavenly Lady, so pure and so bright with the radiance of God's light shining in and about you. Be our Leader against the powers of evil set upon wresting the world of souls, redeemed at such a great cost by the sufferings of your Son and of yourself, in union with Him, from that same Savior, Who loves us
with infinite charity.


We gather about you, O chaste and holy Mother, Virgin Immaculate, Patroness of our beloved Land, determined to fight under your banner of holy purity against the wickedness that
would make all the world an abyss of evil, without God and without your loving maternal care.


We consecrate our hearts, our homes, our Land to your Most Pure Heart, O great Queen, that the kingdom of your Son, our Redeemer and our God, may be firmly established in us.


We ask no special sign of you, sweet Mother, for we believe in your great love for us, and we place in you our entire confidence. We promise to honor you by faith, love, and the purity of our lives according to your desire.


Reign over us, then, O Virgin Immaculate, with your Son Jesus Christ. May His Divine Heart and your most chaste Heart be ever enthroned and glorified among us. Use us, your children of America, as your instruments in bringing peace among men and nations. Work your miracles of grace in us, so that we may be a glory to the Blessed Trinity, Who created, redeemed, and sanctifies us.


May your valiant Spouse, St. Joseph, with the holy Angels and Saints, assist you and us in "renewing the face of the earth." Then when our work is over, come, Holy Immaculate Mother and as our Victorious Queen, lead us to the eternal kingdom, where your Son reigns forever as King. Amen (200 days)



 

Ave Maria!
