We created this website to honour the Blessed Virgin Mary, the August Mother of God; to promote Her apparitions, warnings
and messages; and to help people appreciate Our Blessed Mother’s critical role in these difficult times. Many non-Catholics say we worship Mary. No, we simply give Mary the honour, love and respect. She so rightly deserves as the August Mother of Our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. It is only fitting.
Christ is King and Mary is His Queen
In Jesus’ day, the Queen was the King’s mother, not his wife. Jesus Christ is King of Heaven and Earth, and therefore, His mother Mary, is Queen of Heaven and Earth.
WWIII
There can be no doubt whatsoever, the world is on the brink of WWIII. In fact, in 2006, President Bush Jnr said 9/11, was the first act of WWIII. Pope Francis made similar comments in 2014, suggesting that all the conflicts around the world could be seen as WWIII by ‘installments’ i.e. piecemeal. It could very easily become a nuclear war, and no one should be surprised. The world has watched the warmongers and their machinations for decades, hoping sanity and reason would prevail. The harsh reality is, no world leader, secular or religious, is coming to save us this time. As children, who did we run to when we were in trouble and needed help? Our mother.
Mary, Our Blessed Mother
As Jesus was dying on the cross, His Mother and beloved disciple John were standing nearby. Jesus turned to His Mother and said, “Woman, behold thy son”. He then turned to John and said, “Behold thy Mother”. From that moment, John took Mary into his home, and from that moment, Mary became our Heavenly Mother too. We are Her children.
Our Blessed Mother has appeared to Her children countless times over the centuries, to warn us to repent and make reparation for our sins, and to turn back to Her Son Jesus. In recent years, those warnings have become more urgent. In 1917, Our Lady of Fatima said, “Wars are the result of sin; many people go to hell because they have no one to pray and make sacrifices for them; and the sins that send most people to hell, are the sins of the flesh”.
Jesus Christ, Truly God and Truly man
How do we know Jesus was God or even existed?
1) Eyewitness testimonies
2) The Shroud of Turin
3) Eucharistic miracles
Firstly, Jesus is so revered, His birth defines time, i.e. BC, Before Christ, and AD, Ado domini, After Christ.
Flavius Josephus, the famous historian who lived at the time of Jesus, described Him as a teacher and wonder worker. Jesus was a humble carpenter, and any memory of Him should normally have disappeared from history, not long after His death. Instead, His biography can be read in the New Testament of the Bible, the most published book (between 5 – 7 billion copies), in the world. It was written by His apostles, who were first-hand eyewitnesses to every word He said and every miracle He performed. Every apostle except John, and Judas, who betrayed Him, were martyred. They all knew Jesus was the Messiah; that He died and rose again; and were prepared to die, rather than deny these truths.
It’s interesting how, when you need to prove something, e.g. the existence of God and Jesus was the Son of God, the evidence appears at the perfect time. It’s called Te Wa, God’s Time. It’s like a jigsaw. When all the pieces are in place, it will happen. (Thankfully, people in all age groups are beginning to see that the promised happiness that wealth and possessions were meant to provide, was a lie, an illusion. They are slowly, but surely, turning back to God. Let’s pray it won’t be too late.)
The most convincing evidence proving Jesus’ Divinity, i.e. He is truly God and truly man; and that He died and rose on the third day, is His burial cloth, the Shroud of Turin.
The Shroud of Turin
The Shroud of Turin is the most examined artifact in history. In the 1980s, a large team of researchers dated the Shroud to be from around the mid-1300s. It turns out, the samples they used were from a repair in the corner of the cloth. The samples were not pure linen, but a mixture of linen and cotton. In the last few years, researchers, using the very latest technical equipment, have uncovered extraordinary evidence, that strongly suggests the Shroud of Turin is indeed the burial cloth of Jesus Christ, and depicts the exact moment of His Resurrection. In fact, mathematicians have calculated there is a 1 in 223 billion chance it is not Jesus. The information below is taken from dozens of online videos.
Firstly, the Shroud is made from linen, and because of the unique stitching pattern at the back, we know the cloth was made at the Masada Fortress. The fortress was destroyed in the Jewish Revolt in 74 AD. The Shroud is a photo negative of the front and back of Jesus’ naked body. Experts consider the image to be the most perfect anatomical depiction of a man. The image was made from bursts of radiation (invisible energy) coming from inside Jesus’ body and interacting with the cloth. These bursts confirm Jesus was moving i.e. the Shroud is a pictorial record of the exact moment of Jesus’ resurrection. The image contains both 2D and 3D information; it is a hologram; and also, an Xray. You can see inside Jesus i.e. His teeth; the bones inside His hands; and the flesh around the bones, including the backbone, in perfect 3D layering. While you can see the bones in Jesus’ hands, you can’t see His thumbs because when the nails passed through Jesus’ wrists, they damaged the nerves causing the thumbs to turn inward.
The blood on the Shroud is AB+ the rarest blood type, but common in Jewish men from Northern Galilee. AB+ is known as the ‘universal recipient’ as they can receive blood cells from all blood groups. The blood appeared on the cloth first and the image appeared after rigor mortis had set in approx. 48 hours later. An electron microscope confirmed, there is no image under the blood.
Normally, blood turns brown then black, but the blood on the Shroud is still red, indicating a high bilirubin count, which occurs when people are severely beaten. The cloth has 372 blood stains, 205 on the back, and 159 on the front. Jesus’ body lay undisturbed in the tomb i.e. pathologists found no evidence that the blood clots were ripped off, and the edges of stains are also undisturbed. The cloth shows no signs of decomposition.
Medical experts, by looking at how the blood flowed down the cloth, confirmed Jesus died by crucifixion. They also noted that the only way to explain the image was if Jesus was in a semi-upright position i.e. His hair in the Shroud is flowing over His shoulders and down His back. In autopsies, the back is always flattened, but Jesus’ back in the Shroud is not flat, it is 3D i.e. it is lifted, with His feet crossed which means He wasn’t standing either. Sculptors, using the 3D information, were able to make a statue of Jesus. He is approx. 5 feet 11inches tall, with long hair, a moustache and a beard. There are even coloured 3D images of Jesus’ face generated by AI online.
The scourging wounds are from a whip made of both lead balls and sharp objects. The 4 cm curved wound in Jesus’ side, is the exact same size and shape as a Roman spear. The upward trajectory of the wound is consistent with being stabbed from below. The wound was inflicted after death, accounting for the blood and water (plural oedema) below the wound. Similarly, the 1 cm square holes in Jesus’ feet and wrists are consistent with the shape of Roman nails at that time.
Jesus has severe bruising on both shoulders from carrying the heavy cross beams of the cross. We know Jesus fell three times. In one of the falls, Jesus’ arm was wrenched out of its socket leaving him partially paralysed. This explains why His head is falling to the right. His nose is broken. The areas around Jesus’ face and bruised knees, have traces of travertine marble, only found in grottos around Jerusalem’s City Gate. Both areas on the knees and face also contain pollen unique to Palestine. Remnants of myrrh and aloes are found around the face area of the fabric, confirming the Bible account in John 29:40.
The head cloth that covered Jesus’ face under the Shroud, was passed down from bishop to bishop, until 616 AD. Since then, it has been permanently housed in Oviedo Cathedral, Spain. The wounds on Jesus’ face on the Shroud, and those of the Oviedo face cloth, are a perfect match. What other burial cloth has a man’s image on it? How many crucified men in history, in the 1st century, had a crown of thorns? Coins from Pilate’s era can be seen on Jesus’ eyelids. Mathematicians have calculated that there is a 1 in 223 billion chance that it is not Jesus. If this is not enough to convince people the Shroud of Turin is Jesus’ burial cloth, down the side of Jesus’ neck are the words
Jesus of Nazareth
Joseph of Arimathea, a respected member of the Sanhedrin asked Pilate for Jesus’ body. It was a Jewish custom. If the State condemned a man to death, they were responsible for burying him. It had to be two Sanhedrin. Nicodemus, a Pharisee accompanied Joseph, and they brought myrrh and aloe to preserve Jesus’ body. John 29:40. It was customary to wash the body, but not if the person had been condemned to death. Leaving the blood clots on the body was seen as a type of punishment. It was nearly the Sabbath, and Jesus had to be buried quickly. Joseph of Arimathea allowed Jesus to be buried in his own new tomb, which was nearby.
Eucharistic miracles
St Carlo Acutis, who died in 2006 aged 15, designed a website just for Eucharistic miracles – where the host turns into Jesus’ heart muscle, and the wine turns into Jesus’ blood. There are over 100 examples of Eucharistic miracles throughout the world on the website. In these miracles, the heart tissue is living i.e. it has white blood cells. The high bilirubin count in these samples, confirms Jesus was tortured, like on the Shroud. The blood type AB+ is rare and found predominantly found in Jewish men around Galilee. Samples taken from the Lanciano Eucharistic miracle, in Italy in the 1100s, are a perfect match with the sample from the Buenos Aries Eucharistic miracle in 1997. The New York cardiologist who examined the 1997 sample, was Jewish, but became a Catholic shortly afterwards.
Mary, Mother of God (Luke 1: 28 – 35).
God sent the Angel Gabriel to deliver a message to Mary, a young virgin in Nazareth, Galilee. “Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women”. The angel explained to Mary that she would conceive a son, Jesus, the Son of the most High. Jesus would be given the throne of David, and His kingdom would reign forever, without end. Mary asked “How, I know not man”.?
“The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee and the power of the most High shall overshadow thee. And therefore also, the Holy one which shall be born of thee, shall be called the son of God”.
Mary, without hesitating replied, “Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it done to me according to thy word.”. Mary’s obedient “Yes,” set in motion Salvation History. Mary’s Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, 2nd person of the Holy Trinity, is the spotless, sacrificial lamb, who, by His death and resurrection, redeemed the world, and saved us from our sins.
Mary, is indeed the August Mother of God!
