Feast of Mary, Protectress of the Faith – 35th Anniversary

Message from God The Father given to Visionary Maureen Sweeney-Kyle in North Ridgeville, USA

Once again, I (Maureen) see a Great Flame that I have come to know as the Heart of God the Father. He says: "Children, I speak, once again, to help you to embrace personal holiness and to build the hospice of your hearts strong in this regard. This is all that is not passing in this life. Let your hearts embrace obedience to My Commandments. The first and foremost of which is to love Me above all else. The second is to love your neighbor as yourself. To obey these Two Commandments is to obey all of the Commandments. This is Holy Love. This is the victory you must conquer in your own hearts. It is not a one-time victory, but a battle which must be fought moment by moment every day."

"Years ago, on this date, I sent the Holy Mother to this Messenger.* She proclaimed, at My Command, to be recognized as the Protectress of the Faith. This was not accepted in Church circles as 'necessary'.** Now, I ask you, look at the state of faith in the world today. How great is the need for Her Holy Protection! She instantly comes to the aid of anyone who calls upon Her under this title. The problem today is people have become blindsided as to what challenges their faith. Furthermore, faith is not deemed that important anymore. Is it any wonder I come to you during these times, imploring you to win the victory of personal holiness in your hearts?"

Read 1 John 3:19-24+

By this we shall know that we are of the truth, and reassure our hearts before him whenever our hearts condemn us; for God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything. Beloved, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God; and we receive from him whatever we ask, because we keep his commandments and do what pleases him. And this is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as he has commanded us. All who keep his commandments abide in him, and he in them. And by this we know that he abides in us, by the Spirit which he has given us.

** Note: After checking with a theologian from the Cleveland diocese, the bishop rejected Our Lady's request for the title 'Protectress of the Faith' stating that there already were too many devotions to Blessed Mother and the saints. Our Lady requested this title from the Cleveland bishop in 1987.
