MARY OUR CO-REDEEMER "Theologians might be approaching the problem too 'clinically.' Perhaps there is a need for move 'heart' and less 'mind.' Theology is a discipline in which I have no expertise. Still, allow me to offer a faw insights into Our Lady 's titles from the simple approach of a layman who understands this dogma predominantly with his heart. "The first insight is inspired by His Eminence Christoph Cardinal Schoenborn, O.P., the Archbishop of Vienna, Austria. In a paper submitted to the Fatima Symposium on the Alliance of the Two Hearts, he said: 'Why is it that theology finds the center of its heart in the heart of a woman who is Jesus' mother? Mary is the guarantor of Christian realism; in her it becomes manifest that God's word was not only spoken but also heard; that God has not only called, but that man has also answered; that salvation was not only presented, but also received. Christ is God's word, Mary is the answer; in Christ, God has come down from Heaven; in Mary the earth has become fruitful, Mary is the seal of perfect creatureliness; in her is illustrated in advance what God intended for creation,' "In my simple understanding of what Cardinal Schoenborn is saying, the gift of redemption, freely and perfectly given, must be freely and perfectly received. "The longings of the Heart of Jesus are pe~ectly fulfilled in the Heart of Mary. Her Heart is the only untarnished receotacle of the Word of God. The Heart of Mary has perfectlv resonded. love for love, to the perfect love of God. Our Lady is the 'seal of perfect creatureliness.' "In this light, she is indispensable in God 's planfor the redemption of man. She is indispensable not because God is incapable of redeeming us by Himself: but because He wants man, whom He has created with a free will, to cooperate freely in his own; redemption to make this redemption truly redemptive, worthy of both God and man. This redemption would be unworthy of God if it were imposed on man. And it would be unworthy of man if he did not desire this redemption of his own free will. The Redeemer therefore needs man to be his co-redeemer, to cooperate in his own redemption. "This role of co-redemption was offered to Mary who was conceived without original sin. Only she could begin a new blood lineage liberated from the slavery of sin. Her Immaculate Conception ended man 's legacy of sin, qualifying her alone to be Co-redemptrix, who like the paschal lamb must be unblemished. This offer was made by the Lord through the Angel Gabriel, and with her that she accepted on behalf of all mankind and became Co-redemptrix. " When one is exposed to truth, one must decide whether to accept or not. The acceptance or nonacceptance changes nothing in regard to the truth. Even if ninety percent of the people do not accept a truth, it is no less of a truth. Everything today is by poll. Sixty percent of the people believe this way, etc., etc. What you have just read is easily discernable in regard to truth. There are powerful elements to stop this dogma, satan's attempt to block Our Lady's reign, who have and will, with the fierceness and force of all of hell, oppose what you just read. However, it should not confuse you to the truth which Holy Reason's wisdom* will tell you through prayer. So we come full circle to the first and second messages we began with: "You have seen hell where the souls of poor sinners go. To save them, God wishes to establish in the world devotion to my Immaculate Heart. If what I say to you is done, many souls will be saved and there will be peace." and the second message from Our Lady of Medjugorje on August 25,1991: "...so that with your help everything I wanted t realize through the secrets I began in Fatima may be fulfilled." And what is to be fulfilled? With these two messages, one can see Heaven mandated for Our Lady to placed in Her rightful position. THERE CAN BE LITTLE QUESTION: Lucia is still alive, so long after her two little friends left the earth, and the Pope's seemly supernatural stamina and resolve t live in order to bring us to the millennium, as well as the life of Our Lady's apparitions after 17 years of apparitions all are tied together. All of these have life, which will give the world new life and peace, a liberation from sin that the world is in desperate need of now. A drama is about to unfold, unparalleled in history. So many signs are being given. Scripture is speaking to us in new ways. The Woman of Revelation Chapter 12, her time to do battle with the dragon, to defeat him, spoken of as clothed with the sun, a crown of 12 stars, the wman of the apocalypse, to bring about peace. She has said in May, 1984: "Throughout the centuries, I have given myself completely to you. Is it too much to give me, three days?" She says this is Her time, and there is obviously many intentions She has. She indicates by the following messgae that Her being with us for so long is Her desire because She says She is thankful of the gift of being with us so long. It is most probable, as with most gifts given, that the giver gives somehting you want or knows that you need. "Dear chilcren, today also I give thanks to the Lord for all that He is doing for me, especially for this gift that I am able to be with you also today." December 25, 1986. Our Lady shows through the above message, that Her intentions are being granted by revaling that her Lord is doing many things for Her. Her intentions and desires are all working toward a plan to accomplish a victory of the great struggle now in our midst. Our Lady said on August 2, 1981: "A great struggle is about to unfold. A struggle between my Son and satan. Human souls are at stake." The struggle has been going on for 2000 years, yet She says ABOUT TO UNFOLD. Our Lady is clearly indicating a new initiative, a new plan for the world's salvaiton, and even says it Jan. 25. 1987 when she stated that She has "a great plan for the salvaiton of mankind" --a plan in which satan's power in the world will be broken; an era of world peace, Satan, each year for 2000 years has yearned to crush the Church. His time, his power, is ending. Our Lady, being with us throughout the century, has been preparing for the great struggle, the great defeat. Revelation speaks of this time. Scripture isalive. Even when Jesus was working some of His miracles while walking the earth, surely He glimpsed into the future at his Mother's future victory over satan and left traces in His miracles to speak to us in the latter part of the ninety's. One such is a story of Jesus and the demonic, paraphrased here. Jesus crosses the Sea of Gerasene, walks ashore, and is met by a man who chains and fetters could not hold. And the demons cry out in a loud voice, saying, "What have you to do with me Jesus, Son of the most High God? I beg you to do not torment me." Does it not seem strange that Jesus "tried" to cast out the demons and they would not leave? Jesus then asked "who are you?" "Legions," they answered, "for we are many." And then as if to "bargain" with Jesus, they begged Him not to expel them out of the "country." Jesus strangely accepts this offer and casts them into a large herd of pigs, which then ran to the sea and drowned. Scripture state there were 2000 in number. Was Jesus trying to speak to us today, a double miracle transcending 2000 years? The number of pigs being 2000 is not without significance. Was Jesus really bargaining with the demonic or was it reflective of a greater victory later? Each pig demons possessed, represented satan's yearly desire to crush the Church for 2000 years. His resolve to come back year after year is now running out. The demons beg Jesus not to die them out of the country (world) and back into hell. Jesus didn't. Why? Is it to make a clear indication it would be the Woman of Revelation whose purity and holiness would break their power in the world, sending them back to hell in or around the year 2000 or later? Indeed the miracle was mysterious. One man possessed with so many demons that they were powerful enough to barghain with Jesus and that they were enought to possess 2000 pigs and drive them to their end!! The whole miracle has strange overtones until one looks at it with the parallel of 2000 years of history. Jesus wasn't weak in expelling them now was He bargaining with them, rather it was done to speak of our age of the end of satan's time and the beginning of Our Lady's time of peace. It speaks of the liberation from the bondage of sin that has been building in man for 2000 years. It is a defeat through the hands of Our Lady which will enlighten an unpeaceful world, breaking satan's reign in the world, by Our Lady showing us the truth, now that he is bold enough to show his shameful face without fear of the world abandoning him. Our Lady said on Sept. 25, 1991: "For now as never before satan wants to show the world his shameful face which he wants to seduce as many people as possible onto the way of death and sin. Therefore, dear children, help my Immaculate Heart to triumph in the sinful world." There is so much sin present in the world, satan no longer has to hide himself to deceive. It is Our Lady's hope that we help Her, for Her Heart to triumph. Tghe triumph is imminent. However, it will come with a price (purification), but who with wisdom, O Christians, would have it any other way? What attitude does Our Lady wish for us to have concerning the chastisements and prufications? She indicates clearly the only attitude toward the future is of hope through love. Our Lady stated on March 18, 1995.: "Love and have no fear, my children because in love there is no fear. If your hears are open to the Father and if they are full of love towards Him, why then fear what is to come. Those who do not love are afraid because they expect punishment and because they know how empty and hard they are. I am leading you children, towards love, towards the dear Father. I am leading you into Eternal Life. Eternal Life is my Son. Accept Him and you will have accepted Love." We, in community with Jesus, are at peace about the future. Holding Our Lady's Immaculate Heart to its proper place in our life grants one the prelude of what is to come, predicted through Fatima, Medjugorje, and John Paul's words themselves. We have entered the fullness of time. We are on the throes of the greatest reign of peace the world has seen, a springtime for Christianity. Do not wait. Consecrate your heart to the Immaculate heart, to the Sacred Heart. Experience the future NOW. Begin today to live eternity. The passage of time in this life will not be felt at your death, having already entered eternal time. Waste not a day nor a minute for we are in the season of peace, the awaited time. Now be on your knees praying as never before for the reigh of the King of Peace with His Queen beside Him. My love, my hope, my prayers are with you. I am praying that there will be blessing over your names as Field Angels. I plead to Our Lady for your continued conversion. ********************************* Upon reading the proceeding, I hope that you feel as I, that what OUr Lady is doing must be spread throughout the world immediately to get as many hearts to Her Heart as possible. Our Lady has lead and prepared us for this role, going as far as if to commission us. Our Lady said on May 31, 1995 "Little children I desire that through yur lives you are witnesses, that you are my extended hands, my instruments. GET as many HEARTS AS YOU CAN CLOSE TO MY HEART and lead them to God, to a way of salvation." I seek you to join me in bringing hearts close to Her Heart. I appeal to you to print this out and give it to everyone you see. It is a gift we can give to everyone. This will be the seen in many individuals, families, and parishes around the whole world. Our Lady said on October 25, 1988: "I am calling you today to the prayer of Consecration to Jesus, my dear Son, so that of your hearts may be His. And then I am calling you to Consecration to my Immaculate Heart. I want you to consecrate yourselves as INDIVIDUALS, FAMILIES and PARISHES so that all bel0ongs to God through my hands." I am asking you to give your heart to Hers, and if you can find a way to get this message to others, it will be a gracious thing. LOVE AT WORK Philip Kramer
