    Jaw dropping testimony and conversion story! God Bless this young man! My life was similar to this before my reconversion, and thanks to Our Blessed Mother and her Rosary my life and soul was saved. I am now discerning a potential vocation to Religious Life. For all those reading this comment: If there is only ONE thing you do each and every day of your life, make time and pray the Holy Rosary! With the Blessed Virgin Mary, you always win! Thanks for the video Gabe, Ave Maria!

      I, your beloved Jesus, could never undermine My Own Church
      Monday, April 16th, 2012 @ 18:00
      My dearly beloved daughter, I call out to all of God’s children and assure you that I, your beloved Jesus, could never undermine My Own Church.
      However, I will not stand back and watch My Church, by the hand of one particular sect, who has no right to play a role in the Holy See, to disintegrate.
      For that is precisely what the false prophet and the imposters who idolise Satan, are trying to do. They want to topple the Catholic Church and break it into little pieces.
      This, My children, is how Satan will stand in final rebellion against God, the Creator of all things.
      This wicked plan to destroy My Church has been underway for 100 years, but, since 1967, it has intensified.
      Many imposters, who are members of this evil sect, who worship Satan, entered the seminaries to gain a foothold in the Vatican.
      Their powers, while allowed by God the Father, were restricted up to now. As the end times draw nearer that will change.
      This evil sect will now unleash every power to ensure that they will elect a new replacement for My Holy Vicar, Pope Benedict XVI.
      All those who know My Teachings will see changes in the recital of the Holy Mass.
      New secular laws will be introduced which will be an affront to My death on the Cross.
      Many devout followers of Mine will see this and will feel hurt. Their views will be dismissed and many Sacraments will cease to be offered.
      This is why much preparation is needed.
      For those Catholic, who will be hurt and dismayed, please, remember that I Am here.
      Call out to Me, your beloved Jesus, and know that you must not be afraid to proclaim the Truth of My Teachings.
      You must not be afraid to turn your back on heresy.
      I will guide and protect you on your journey and you will be guided by the Power of the Holy Spirit.
      Your beloved Saviour
      Jesus Christ

      Our Lady is really out for the mission of grasping souls from the devil and this ability torments the devil because of his high pride, and seeing a humble Lady snatching hardened sinners away from him makes him (the devil) filled with rage. I'm a consecrated soul and I tell you, mother is so close to me, she torments me with horror for sin especially mortal sins. She has helped me in many ways, I really appreciate and I'm practicing how to continue to live the life of my consecration. I'm talking about the "HOLY SLAVERY" ... All to Jesus, through Mary our Mother.

It's no good turning away like that, even if you think it's a good reason. Confession is a gift, don't let anyone tell you its not because it will help you in so many ways. If you take it seriously your mental health will improve, your health will improve, your relationships will improve. This kids story is almost word for word my own.

      If you can, pray at least 3 Rosaries every single day for his conversion. Also, look up the Green Scapular--it's very powerful for conversions. You can get it blessed by a priest (which Mother Mary asked us to do) and hide it in your son's room--I personally hide the ones I got for my family members underneath their mattresses. Mother Mary also instructed us to recite the prayer "Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us now and at the hour of our death" on behalf of the person you got the scapular for every day. Hope this helps! God bless you.

To make this offering to God >in union with Mary's own words< simply yet truly begins to change a person from deep inside. (Btw, the Magnificat, joined with the Glory Be, IS one of the optional parts of Scripture offered as prayer that exorcists use against the demonic spirits- anything connected to Mary is a blow to them.)

    Hi GabiAfterHours. At 51, I returned to Catholicism (TLM) just six weeks ago after nearly 30 years away. Thanks to someone I hadn’t seen since my teenage years. Christ and my Angel have always guided me, but I just couldn’t see it and I didn’t get it. Also, because of my incredible mother, I feel a connection with Mary. I believe many will return to Christ as they see the truth of what’s happening in the world and his truth. God bless everyone here!

      Makes me wonder ... Some see Mary as enviable bc she is so graced, but it seems she never has a moment's rest, as we are ALL giving her a constant work out! She did all this, went thru all the suffering of what was done to her son, the worry while he was raised, and the work to help establish His Church, and then we sin so readily!

The Rosary is meant to be a meditative offering where the repetition of the Hail Mary prayer serves as an efficacious background to the contemplation of the various mysteries in the life of Jesus.

      This is just sickening and saddening. Christ would be weeping about this because only he can protect, guide and keep us from danger, not Mary. Mary isn't Christ nor will she ever be. This is idolatry for someone who isn't God. Satan really has stuck his claws in this one. It's not against Catholics or Protestants either. It's about the truth Vs False lies and deception!

      @@glorriak About Idolatry
      Exodus 20:4 You shall not make yourself a carved image or any likeness of anything in heaven above or on earth beneath or in the waters.
      The Lord did not prohibit statues; he prohibited worshiping them. God actually commanded the making of images. Just five chapters later, God commanded Moses to build the Ark of the Covenant, which would contain the presence of God and was to be venerated as the holiest place in all of Israel. Here is what God commanded Moses concerning the statues on it:
      And you shall make two cherubim of gold; of hammered work shall you make them, on the two ends of the mercy seat. Make one cherub on the one end, and one cherub on the other end; of one piece with the mercy seat shall you make the cherubim on its two ends (Ex. 25:18-19).
      In Numbers 21:8-9, not only did our Lord order Moses to make another statue in the form of a bronze serpent, but he commanded the children of Israel to look at it in order to be healed. The context of the passage is one where Israel had rebelled against God, and a plague of deadly snakes was sent as a just punishment. This statue of a snake had no power of itself-we know from John 3:14 that it was merely a type of Christ-but God used this image of a snake as an instrument to effect healing in his people.
      Further, in 1 Kings 6, Solomon built a temple for the glory of God, described as follows:
      In the inner sanctuary he made two cherubim of olivewood, each ten cubits high. . . . He put the cherubim in the innermost part of the house. . . . He carved all the walls of the house round about with carved figures of cherubim and palm trees, and open flowers, in the inner and outer rooms. . . . For the entrance to the inner sanctuary he made doors of olivewood. . . . He covered the two doors of olivewood with carvings of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers; he overlaid them with gold (1 Kgs. 6:23, 27, 29, 31, 32).
      King Solomon ordered the construction of multiple images of things both “in heaven above” (angels) and “in the earth beneath” (palm trees and open flowers). After the completion of the temple, God declared he was pleased with its construction (1 Kgs. 9:3).
      It becomes apparent, given the above evidence, that a strictly literal interpretation of Exodus 20:2-5 is erroneous. Otherwise, we would have to conclude that God prohibits something in Exodus 20 and elsewhere commands the very same thing.
      Why would God use these images of serpents, angels, palm trees, and open flowers? Why didn’t he heal the people directly rather than use a “graven image”? Why didn’t he command Moses and Solomon to build an ark and a temple without any images at all?
      First, God knows what his own commandments mean. He never condemned the use of statues absolutely. Second, God created man as a being who is both spiritual and physical. To draw us to himself, God uses both spiritual and physical means. He will use statues, the temple, or even creation itself to guide us to our heavenly home.
      Psalm 19:1 tells us: “The heavens are telling the glory of God; and the firmament proclaims his handiwork.” Romans 1:20 says: “Ever since the creation of the world his invisible nature, namely, his eternal power and deity, has been clearly perceived in the things that have been made.” Gazing at a sunset-or a great painting of a sunset-and contemplating the greatness of God through the beauty of his creation is not idolatry. Nor is it idolatrous to look at statues of great saints of old and honor them for the great things God has done through them. It is no more idolatrous for us to desire to imitate their holy lives and honor them than it was for Paul to exhort the Corinthians to imitate his own holy life (1 Cor. 4:16) and to “esteem very highly” those who were “over [the Thessalonians] in the Lord and admonish [them]” (1 Thess. 5:12-13).
      Having statues honoring God or great saints brings to mind. For Catholics, having statues is just as natural as-having pictures in our wallets to remind us of the ones we love here on earth. But reminding ourselves of loved ones is a far cry from idolatry.

      (Excerpt from Blessed Mother's message No. 184 to Father Gobbi, Marian Movement of Priests, given on 10/7/1979): "By this prayer of the Holy Rosary, you offer your Heavenly Mother a powerful force in intervening for the salvation of My poor straying children and in disposing the painful events of your time according to the Motherly plan of My Immaculate Heart. Your entire Rosary, which you recite in the Cenacle in accordance with the urgent request of your Mother, is like an immense chain of love and salvation, with which you are able to encircle persons and situations, and even to influence All the events of your time. Continue to recite it and multiply your Cenacles of prayer.

      I am now able to make use of the power that comes to Me from your prayer and I want to intervene, as a Mother, to shorten the time of trial and to comfort you in the sufferings which awaits you. EVERY THING CAN STILL BE Changed, if you, My children, listen to My Voice and unite yourselves through prayer, with the unceasing intercession of your Heavenly Mother. For this reason, I ask you again to continue, with greater generosity and perseverance, in the recitation of the Holy Rosary.

      The Rosary is the prayer, which I Myself came down from Heaven to ask of you. By It, you are able to bare the plots of My Adversary; you escape from many of his deceits; you defend yourselves from many dangers which he puts in your way; it preserves you from evil and brings you ever closer to Me, because I am able to be truly your guide and protection. As has already happened in other critical situations, so also today, the Church will be defended and saved by its Victorious Mother through the power, which comes to Me from you, My little children, by means of the frequent recitation of the Holy Rosary.

      Take courage, beloved children! Pray! Have Confidence and enter into the Refuge of My Immaculate Heart, that you may form part of My Victorious Cohort. This is My Hour! Soon the whole Church will be brought to a New Splendor by Her whom you invoke as Queen of Victories."

As Catholics we understand that Jesus is our Salvation yet as The Mother of God Mary has been bestowed with graces. Nothing that His Mother Mary asks will He Jesus deny. That's Scriptural and there's more than one example you can find in Holy Scripture. If you come to a Catholic you tube page and don't agree to Catholic dogma and doctrine then don't but don't seek out to unleash your personal thoughts on the doctrine of the Catholic Church without understanding the true meaning and full scope of understanding of our Catholics beliefs.

      Where in scripture does it say to find "Our Lady". This is perversion of God's true word. He never commanded us to call upon Mary because the only Mediator between God and men is Jesus Christ. (1 Tim 2:5) and no one comes unto the Father except through Jesus Christ (John 14:6)

      I have came across catholic answers and they still remain against God's word. they'll say they (Mary and the saints) can interceded for us but that is not Biblical because they are dead. God is against trying to communicate with the dead and God also never asks us to receive prayers from the dead only from those who are still alive.
