To a young girl from Nazareth:

Imagine if you will, thousands of years before you were born, some proud angel tempted another woman to her downfall, thinking she was you.

Then as time went on prophets of old would prophecy about you and the miraculous things you would be involved with.

And then you came to earth. As an adolescent young woman, immersed in your faith praying to God, that you would be the chosen virgin to bear His Son, just like your peers and generations of young girls before you. And behold, another angel appears to you and,… ‘hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you’; blessed are you among women. You have been chosen by God to be the mother of His Son. Miraculously you conceive by the power of the Holy Spirit. The angel also tells you about your elderly cousin, Elizabeth, who is also miraculously with child, and you go in haste to visit her.

This visitation, in a human face-to-face way, sets the stage for your future Heavenly visitations to humanity.

Your Son is born, the King and Lord of all, in a lowly stable. Immediately He is glorified and also hunted as a threat to the powers of humanity. For thirty years your family life is quiet and under the radar. And then His time has come. You were His first disciple. You were there at the wedding of Cana and said to us, ‘do whatever He tells you’; and you were there at the foot of the Cross. And then He left you, in the human sense.

You received the Holy Spirit in the Upper Room with the apostles and other disciples, and then John cared for you as his own mother, as our mother. And then your earthly life was over. As the Mother of God you received another miraculous gift. You were assumed into Heaven to be with your Son. Once there, that little girl from Nazareth, was crowned the Queen of Heaven and Earth, the Queen of the Angels. There you are in the midst of the Heavenly Throne Room, as the mother of the King, the Queen Mother, you have a big job to do, and God gave you the supernatural power to do it. You are the most powerful creature in the universe, and you are mother of us all, and are we in serious need of mothering!

There is something special about the Second Joyful Mystery. All the Mysteries are special, but this one, like a few others, sets the stage for more to come. You went in haste to visit Elizabeth, and then as Our Lady of the Pillar in 40 A.D. you went to visit (as in bilocate) St. James in Spain to console him. You were still earthly alive, living here on earth! And so, it began.

Humanity was slowly brought to know your Son and His saving grace. Missionary work spread throughout the world and people converted. But it wasn’t perfect conversion. The devil was still at work. But the Christian lifestyle seemed to create a mostly positive world for all levels of society. Monasteries were built and towns and villages grew up around them. The people tithed to the church and the church religious offered assistance with hospitals and education. Of course, people complained about all the rules. They always do. Especially since their pagan neighbors didn’t have to abide by them and they were doing okay. Time progressed and the “Enlightenment” grew, and the devil was pleased. Missionaries were still moving farther out into the world along with the secular powers as they looked to find and conquer new lands.

Love of power was growing and so was sin. You could see that your children were choosing sin over God’s love and souls were being lost. And so your visitations began in earnest. By the power of God you are able to appear in various places on earth. You usually appear to little children or to those of lowly birth. You echo the message of your Son, repent and believe in the Gospel, repent and convert. You want us to choose Heaven and we want fast, fun and easy living or at least we are easily swayed by the promises of the powerful of whatever time we happen to live in. You give us more miracles: a 500 year old tilma with your miraculous image, a healing spring dug by a young girl in a grotto full of garbage, a dancing sun and so much more. But we are still too distracted by what the devil has offered to us through his minions.

Why is it so difficult for us to focus on the Heavenly when we have all of these miracles placed in front of us? Why do we choose momentary bling instead of eternal bliss?

And, at the same time, your faithful children can’t seem to see you properly and consistently. You come to us in many ways in these modern times. There are the apparitions, which dramatically increased in the 20th century, and there are messages via locutionists. We have the messages and visions of old that we have scrutinized, and we have many alleged modern day visionaries. Oh what discord they cause. We really don’t know if any of them are true, especially since many of them are on-going. Some people believe them but most don’t. And various scholars attack modern prophecy. But those of us with faith in your visitations believe.

These modern messages again tell us to repent and convert. If we all did that the world would be such a different, better place. The messages also give us warnings of potential chastisements and tribulations. Why the scholars and others vocally disregard these warnings is beyond comprehension. The Bible warns us of these prophecies and yet these modern messages can’t be true?, especially not true in the near-future sense. And so we are confused but hopeful and waiting for some sign from God. Waiting.
