(Luke 2:35).
Dear Friend of Our Lady of Guadalupe,
As
Christ’s heart was pierced on the Cross in death, Mary’s Immaculate
Heart was pierced in spirit, fulfilling the prophecy of Simeon (Luke 2:
22-35) and showing the unique mystical union of the heart of Jesus with
the heart of Mary in the work of our redemption.
This union of the Two Hearts continues to offer salvation and sanctification to mankind today.
St. John Paul II consecrated the world to the Immaculate Heart of Mary in union with the Bishops in 1984.
As
souls consecrated to the hearts of Jesus and Mary, we pray that our
faith becomes a living witness of the love of them for all people.
We can do this in the New Evangelization.
St. John Paul II said, “Now
is the time of the New Evangelization to lead the People of God in
America to cross the threshold of the third millennium with renewed
hope.”
As he looked at an image of Our Lady of Guadalupe, the Pope said,
“I ask her to visit as a pilgrim of faith each and every diocese, parish and family in America. May she cross this continent bringing it life, sweetness and hope! May she enliven and protect the work of the New Evangelization!”
Teams bring the Missionary Image of Our Lady of Guadalupe into public
places in answer to St. John Paul II’s call that she may “cross this
continent bringing it life, sweetness and hope!”
Many of our supporters take well-deserved summer vacations, which causes our support to reach its lowest levels of the year.
So,
we would really appreciate your help to keep our Missionary Images of
Our Lady of Guadalupe, Jesus King of All Nations and Our Lady of America
on their Visitations throughout America.
But, in order to continue this amazing work for the greater glory of God, we must raise $130,000 by the Feast of St. Michael the Archangel, September 29,
if we are going to keep these Apostolates active! This is just for our
normal operating expenses of maintaining our Apostolates’ Center and
paying our modest salaries. There is no surplus in our budget, which
does not include any special projects, needs, or savings.
We need your help to continue this important work of the New Evangelization.
Please make your most generous donation online today.
Your donation today goes directly to supporting the
New Evangelization by helping us bring the Missionary Image of Our Lady
to ‘each and every diocese, parish and family in America’!
Please don’t delay, we need your support today.
Like
St. John Paul II, Pope Francis is calling us to “break out of
comfortable and routine modes of living” and to “go out into the
byroads”. Pope Francis said that if we do not proclaim Jesus with our
lives, then the Church becomes “not the mother, but the babysitter.”
Pope
Francis has called us by his words and actions to go out to the
marginalized people – the poor, the sick, the disabled, the elderly and
the prisoners.
They
bring their Mother in her Missionary Image to these marginalized people
in hospitals, nursing homes, abortion centers and prisons. This may be
difficult for a person to do alone, but with our Mother and our Teams
it’s easy!
We
need more workers in the vineyard. We need more people to hlep us to
follow the call of St. John Paul II to live out the new Evangelization.

Missionary
Image Guardian Lisa Bevins reported that the Peaceful Prayer Presence
of the Missionary Image at the Planned Parenthood abortion center in
Tempe, Arizona resulted in its closure for the day. Lisa wrote to me:
Saturdays
are the busiest abortion days at the Tempe Planned Parenthood abortion
center, performing abortions up to 22 weeks. Today looked to be no
different.But at the 11am hour, just 1 hour before the
Missionary Image of Our Lady of Guadalupe was about to arrive, things
began to change. Suddenly Planned Parenthood workers started sending
groups of women and men out the front door in droves, as if the hand of
the Lord was in that abortion mill pushing them out.This has never happened on a Saturday here in Tempe. Planned Parenthood locked the doors! They posted a sign that said,
“Due to unforeseen circumstance, the Tempe Clinic is closed for today.”
The
parking lot became empty and the last clinic worker drove right up to
Steve and told him that we could leave because nothing was going to
happen there today.But,
something did happen there today…something that has never happened
there before. NOT one baby was aborted while Our Lady was there. Not
under her watch! And we will NOT leave and go home, NOT until this
Planned Parenthood closes for good!Blessed be God for ever!
Tempe 7th and 8th grade students who stood up for life with the Missionary Image.
Please
help us to bring out the Missionary Image through her Visitations with
your prayers and financial support. Without your help, the Visitations
cannot continue.

It is only through your generous support that
we continue our work to promote Visitations throughout the country so
that more people become aware of the great works of God.
So, I ask you to please prayerfully consider giving the most generous amount you can today in support of our Summer Campaign.
It is only together that we can build the Culture of Life and a Civilization of Love for which Saint John Paul II prayed.
We
remember your intentions in our daily prayers and Novena to Our Lady of
Guadalupe, our weekly holy hour before the Blessed Sacrament and in our
special monthly Masses.
Your help has been invaluable to us.
Thank you. May the Sacred and Immaculate Hearts of Jesus and Mary bless
and watch over you and your loved ones.
In the Hearts of Jesus and Mary,
Dan Lynch
