Dear friends,

A picture of Our Blessed Mother, she is standing in front of us and she lifts the two sides of her mantle. Beneath her mantle are many people of every creed and nation, Her mantle stretches like the vast sky upon them, covering them, her mantle is a covering of maternal prayer, this is the prayer which calls down graces and blessings upon each child of God who seeks the Father in spoken prayer or silently uttered from the heart. She who is so small and humble can do mighty works with even one small heartfelt prayer.

“My Children, I am your Mother and as a loving Mother, I continually cover each of you with my mantle of motherly prayer, for you are the progeny of my Maternal Heart and so I will never stop presenting you and your families to the love and Mercy of my Son Jesus. 

My children when you are troubled tired or confused lean on me, come under my mantle of prayer and I will help you to seek Jesus My Son, I will steer you upon the right path and together we will draw others to my Son Jesus, not by our own efforts but by calling down the Holy Spirit to guide us. 

My children you really are mine because my Son gave you to me from His Cross. 

My child come let me be your true Mother who leads her beloved child to Him who is the True Light Of The World Jesus, my Most Beloved Son.
Mary”
