Introduction to Our Lady of America
The video introduces the apparitions experienced by Sister Mildred Mary Ephraim Nusul in Ftoria, Ohio, starting in 1938. These apparitions, known as Our Lady of America, have come closer to official approval than any other US apparition, except for the one in Champion, Wisconsin. The revelations, granted to Sister Mildred until 2000, received an impromatter by Archbishop Paul F. Liebold of Cincinnati, who also served as Sister Mildred's spiritual director. The messages emphasise the need for purity and the sanctification of families, highlighting America's spiritual role in leading the world.
Messages from Jesus
Sister Mildred quoted Jesus as expressing his Father's anger and warning of swift punishment if people do not listen to His heart, which is a voice of mercy and instruction. Jesus lamented the bad examples set by parents and the lack of faith in the world. He stressed the importance of preparing children for the next world and warned of the consequences for those who disobey or disrespect their parents. According to Jesus, faith is lacking in the world, and without it, there can be no love.
The Virgin Mary's Apparitions and Desires
In 1956, on the eve of the feast of the North American martyrs, the Virgin Mary began her apparitions, promising miracles greater than those granted at Lords and Fatima if America follows her desires. Mary wishes America to be dedicated to her purity and to further the cause of faith and purity among nations. She pleads with the children of America to cleanse their souls, live in Christ's heart, and become her army of chaste soldiers. Mary identifies herself as the Immaculate One, patronist of the land, and calls for faithful children.
Theological Soundness and Private Devotion
The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) issued a definitive judgment on the Our Lady of America devotion in May 2020. While the devotion to Mary under the title Our Lady of America is theologically sound and permissible as a private devotion, public promotion as an approved apparition is not allowed. The Virgin Mary expressed grief over priests who rejected her appearances but promised grace to those who showed respect. She requested that a picture or statue of herself as Our Lady of America be placed in homes and honoured, and specifically asked for a statue to be placed in the national shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington after a solemn procession.
Urgency of the Message and Warnings
On February 23rd, 1959, Our Lady urged Sister Nusel to work on the message immediately and place it in the hands of the bishops responsible for its fulfillment, warning that time is running out and Christ's patience will not last forever. Mary implored Sister Nusel to help her hold back His anger, which is about to descend on sinful and ungrateful men, and warned of unprecedented suffering and anguish. She stated that unless there is penance and reform, God will cleanse the world in the fires of untold punishment. Mary lamented the pride of souls and their resistance to her grace, questioning how long she would bear with her chosen ones who spurn her approaches.
Consequences and Hope for America
The Virgin Mary warned that if her desires are not fulfilled, much suffering will come to America. She stated that if her warnings are taken seriously and enough people strive to renew and reform themselves, there will be no nuclear war. The fate of the world depends on the balance between good and evil. Even if destruction occurs due to insufficient adherence to her warnings, a remnant of faithful souls will remain, untouched by the chaos, and will gradually inhabit the earth again with their dedicated and holy lives.
Mary's Immaculate Heart and False Peace
Mary stated that her Immaculate Heart is the channel through which the graces of the Sacred Heart are given to men and warned that the false peace of this world lures them and will ultimately destroy them. In the revelations, the Virgin referred to herself as a co-redemptric of the human race. St. Joseph, her earthly spouse, also appeared to Sister Mildred and was described as a co-redemptor.
St. Joseph's Role as Co-Redemptor
St. Joseph expressed that his heart suffered with the hearts of Jesus and Mary, and his suffering was silent as his vocation was to hide and shield them from the malice and hatred of men. He knew beforehand of their passion and became co-redemptor of the human race through compassion for their sufferings. Joseph stated that immediately after his conception, he was cleansed from the stain of original sin through the future merits of Jesus and his exceptional role as future virgin father. He was confirmed in grace and never had the slightest stain on his soul, a unique privilege among men.
Joseph's Message to Fathers and Devotion
Joseph urged fathers to imitate his great purity of life and deep respect for his immaculate spouse, setting an example for their children and fellow men. He desired souls to come to his heart to learn true union with the divine will. Joseph asked that his pure heart be honoured in a special way on the first Wednesday of the month by reciting the joyful mysteries of the rosary in memory of his life with Jesus and Mary, and the love and sorrow he bore with them. He also asked that people receive Holy Communion in union with the love with which he received the Savior.
Discernment and Imminent Danger
The video advises discernment regarding these apparitions, noting that only messages up to 1963 should be considered officially authorised. By 1980, the Virgin was warning Sister Mildred that the danger was imminent and there was no time to lose. The message was to be conveyed to the faithful, as the time is shorter than ever. Sister Nusel emphasised the urgency conveyed by Our Lady, leaving no doubt about the closeness of the terrible purification about to fall upon all nations.
Preventing the Havoc and America's Mandate
The nun's emphasis in her last years was on how these events could be prevented. She believed that if the world would listen and do what God asked, everything would be fine. She was concerned about abortion and the impurity of the youth, and America's role in leading the world. The Virgin stated that unless the United States accepts and carries out faithfully the mandate given to it by heaven to lead the world to peace, there will be a great havoc of war and incredible suffering. However, if the United States is faithful to this mandate but fails because the rest of the world will not cooperate, it will not be burdened with the punishment about to fall.
The Darkest Hour and Call to Action
The message states that it is the darkest hour, but if men will come to Mary, her Immaculate Heart will make it bright again with the mercy that Christ will rain down through her hands. She asks for help to save those who will not save themselves and to bring once again the sunshine of God's peace upon the world. Sister Mildred asked that a prayer to the Immaculate Conception, patronist of the US, be recited once a day. She noted that the forces of evil are enveloping the world, particularly focusing on the United States because of its divine mandate to lead the world to peace. Mary calls for people to weep with her over the sins of men and intercede with her before the throne of mercy, as sin is overwhelming the world and punishment is not far away.
