Mary Protectress of the Faith – Feastday

Message from Mary, Protectress of the Faith given to Visionary Maureen Sweeney-Kyle in North Ridgeville, USA

Our Lady comes as Protectress of the Faith. Her Heart is exposed. She says: "Praise be Jesus. How I had hoped to meet you here today. You recall well the day twelve years ago I introduced to you the Protectress of the Faith devotion. It was given to you at a time when the faith in the world around you was beginning to crumble. Now you see that the hour of My predilection was justified, for faith in hearts has been reduced to a glimmer through compromise and confusion. Jesus warned you then that not all would believe in My coming to you. Today, many consider My apparitions around the world fair game for rash judgment and detraction. While I do not say My children must believe under pain of sin, similarly they must not rash judge or detract My messages anywhere under pain of sin. The commandments are still the commandments."

"Today I come to you under My title of Refuge of Holy Love. I invite you to see that Holy Love is a blueprint for your salvation. While many are saved who do not know Me under this title, it is impossible to attain salvation when you do not love God above all else and your neighbor as yourself - Holy Love. Living in Holy Love in the present moment is God's Holy and Divine Will; therefore, you see that the Protectress of the Faith and Refuge of Holy Love are together. I protect your faith in the Refuge of My Heart which is Holy Love."

"Because I am your all-caring Mother, I desire you solicit My protection and the Refuge of My Heart in the midst of all trials, confusion, and compromise."

"You will meet many challenges and face many new paths in this coming year. Remain close to My Son in the Eucharist. I will bless you."
