DAY 36
Excerpt from "Triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Through the Brown Scapular and the Rosary."
_________________________________________
On March 25, 1984, in Saint Peter’s Square, Pope John Paul II, entrusted all men and women and all peoples to the Immaculate Heart of Mary….”[1]
“‘The power of this consecration lasts for all time and embraces all individuals, peoples and nations. It overcomes every evil that the spirit of darkness is able to awaken, and has in fact awakened in our times, in the heart of man and in his history….
‘“In entrusting to you, O Mother, the world, all individuals and peoples, we also entrust to you this very consecration of the world, placing it in your motherly Heart.”[2]
“Sister Lucia personally confirmed that this solemn and universal act of consecration corresponded to what Our Lady wished…. ‘Yes it has been done just as Our Lady asked, on 25 March 1984’: (Letter of 8 November 1989). Hence any further discussion or request is without basis.”[3]
Perhaps the 1984 Consecration was accepted by Our Lord due to the tremendous effort Pope John Paul II put forth to do what Our Lord wanted,”[4] remarked Fr. De Marchi.
