Message from Blessed Virgin Mary given to Visionary Maureen Sweeney-Kyle in North Ridgeville, USA

Blessed Mother says: "Praise be to Jesus."

"Get this image (Refuge of Holy Love) out to the public. It carries with it very many special graces which the world needs today."

"Those who venerate* this image, either in picture or three- dimensional form, will be drawn into deeper personal holiness. Their thoughts, words and deeds will be clarified in Holy Love."

"Please understand the key word here is 'venerate'. The image is not magic. Graces will be given according to what is in the heart."

*Venerate: Does not mean "to worship" or "pray to." Rather, it does mean to pay honor to a saint in Heaven (e.g., Blessed Mother) who, when asked in prayer, will by intercession and own example of sanctification, help the faithful on earth to grow in Christian virtue and holiness.

Venerating the saints does not detract from the glory given only to God in worship, since whatever good they possess is a total gift from God's bounty of graces.
