PRAY THAT THE BISHOPS OF AMERICA RESPOND TO OUR LADY’S CALL
+
“I knew with full certainty that it was She, though She did not speak immediately. What I noticed was the smile on Our Lady’s beautiful countenance and the lily She held in her right hand. She wore a white veil reaching almost to the waist and a mantle and robe of pure white with not a single decoration of any kind. I noticed the green color of the lily stem in Her hand and the white sash or belt which She wore around Her waist.+
“It seemed to be made of the same material as the robe. It was narrow, very narrow, and no ends of it could be seen at all. An oblong-shaped clasp or brooch held the ends of the mantle together at the top. It was all gold, as was the high and brilliant crown which She wore. Her hair and eyes seemed of medium brown. Her feet were bare, but these I did not always see, as they were sometimes covered by the moving clouds on which Our Lady stood. She continued to smile. Then I saw Her heart appear, encircled with red roses, the symbol of suffering as it was revealed to me, and sending forth flames of fire. With Her left hand Our Lady seemed to be holding up slightly the upper part of Her mantle, so that her Immaculate Heart could be seen. Then solemnly and distinctly, in calm and majestic tones, I heard these words:
“’I am Our Lady of America. I desire that my children honor me, especially by the purity of their lives.’
“She was very beautiful and her smile held me. Throughout my work of the day, I was conscious of Our Lady’s presence in a very special manner, in a way distinctly new to me. That afternoon, during the last half of the Holy Hour, the Immaculate Virgin spoke to me at length in these words:
“‘My child, I entrust YOU with this message that you must make known to my children in America. I wish it to be the country dedicated to my purity. The wonders I will work will be the wonders of the soul. They must have faith and believe firmly in my love for them. I desire that they be the children of my Pure Heart. I desire, through my children of America, to further the cause of faith and purity among peoples and nations. Let them come to me with confidence and simplicity, and I, their Mother, will teach them to become pure like to my Heart that their own hearts may be more pleasing to the Heart of my Son.'”
