Dear Friend of Our Lady of America,
On
October 13 we celebrate the European discovery of America by
Christopher Columbus. Many people now compare America to the Roman
Empire, both in its rise and its decline.
The Roman historian
Livy wrote about the decline of Rome, “Follow the decay of the national
character, observing how at first it slowly sinks, then slips downward
more and more rapidly, and finally begins to plunge into headlong ruin. .
.”
The cause of America’s “plunge into headlong ruin” is the abuse of our freedom by choosing not what we should do, but by choosing what we want
to do. So, from the buzzword of “choice” we have chosen the practice
and legalization of contraception, no-fault divorce, abortion, same-sex
relationships and suicide.
America’s Founders put a high value
on freedom. However, they did not promote absolute freedom, which they
regarded as “license” which today we call “choice.”
In 1776,
John Adams wrote, “It is Religion and Morality alone, which can
establish the Principles upon which Freedom can securely stand.”
Our
Lady of America came to America to remind us that our true freedom is
founded upon living a moral and virtuous life. She asked for our purity
and the imitation of the virtues practiced by her and her chaste spouse,
St. Joseph, in their holy family life. She promised our peace and
protection if we honored her requests and chastisement if we did not.
She asked that we “make
known the longings of my Immaculate Heart, to establish the reign of my
Divine Son in the hearts of men and thus save them from the scourge of
Heaven.“
The best ways to honor her requests are to wear her medal of protection, host Visitations of her Image and pray her prayers. This will help to mitigate chastisements and save us from her prophesied “scourge of Heaven.” Please click here and wear her medal of protection.
Our
Lady promised that the placement of her statue in the Basilica of the
National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington DC would be a
safeguard for our country and that the placement of her image in the
home would be a safeguard for the family. Please click here to sign the petition for the placement of her statue and click here to obtain your image.
You can help bring purity to America by hosting a Visitation of her Image.
The faithful are venerating the Image and using my booklet in their
homes and parishes.to conduct Holy Hours of Prayer for Purity, Peace and
Protection.
Will you help spread Our Lady’s requests by
hosting her Image? It’s easy! You can host an Image for your parish or
home and invite others to make a Holy Hour before the Image. Please click here to learn how.

It
is vital that we respond to Our Lady’s requests. Our Lady gave the
United States the role to lead the world to purity and peace through
strong families. May we fulfill our role and not suffer the “scourge of
heaven.”
In Our Lady’s Heart,
Dan Lynch
