Our Lady is here in a white mantle with a blue lining. Her gown is either pink or has a warm glow to it. Her Heart is exposed. Around it are five or six rows of tiny pearls. Our Lady tells me, “These are the souls I am praying for in My Heart as we speak, for they are about to slip to perdition in their last breath.” Then She lowers Her eyes and says: “Let us give praise to Jesus.” I answer, “Now and forever.” She continues, “My angel, souls in darkness include many. They are the bishops who compromise Church teachings. They are priests who do not hold as their priority bringing the sacraments to the people. Anyone who ignores the Commandments in their entirety is in darkness. Those who live contrary to Holy Love – these, too, are in darkness.”

Our Lady is here. She asks me to pray an Our Father and Glory Be with Her for the Remnant Church. Then She says: “Dear children, I come today, most especially, to help you understand that this is to be a stronghold of faith and a spiritual refuge. I come as your Refuge and Protectress, and I ask you to help Me to draw the Remnant into My Immaculate Heart. Realize, My children, your salvation is in the present moment. Today I extend to you My Special Blessing.”

Our Lady comes in blue and white. She says: “My daughter, I am here. I am your Mother and your Protectress. I come to give greater honor and glory to Jesus, My Son. Tomorrow, I will come once again, so that man will choose to be reconciled with God.”

Our Lady comes as the Protectress of the Faith. She says: “I come in praise of Jesus. I will help you now to understand that I stand as sentinel between Heaven and Hell — for you and for all humanity. My heart is your Refuge, passageway, and path to salvation. The grace of every present moment proceeds from this Refuge. The more you die to self and detach from the world, the deeper I will lead you into the sacrament [a thing that is holy] of the present moment and a great source of grace for many. It is My gift in this hour of need in the world. Too many live for themselves and reject love. I come to open the door to salvation through Holy Love. Please make this known.”

Our Lady comes as Protectress of the Faith. Her Heart is exposed. She says: “Praise be Jesus. How I had hoped to meet you here today. You recall well the day twelve years ago I introduced to you the Protectress of the Faith devotion. It was given to you at a time when the faith in the world around you was beginning to crumble. Now you see that the hour of My predilection was justified, for faith in hearts has been reduced to a glimmer through compromise and confusion. Jesus warned you then that not all would believe in My coming to you. Today, many consider My apparitions around the world fair game for rash judgment and detraction. While I do not say My children must believe under pain of sin, similarly they must not rash judge or detract My messages anywhere under pain of sin. The commandments are still the commandments.”

“Today I come to you under My title of Refuge of Holy Love. I invite you to see that Holy Love is a blueprint for your salvation. While many are saved who do not know Me under this title, it is impossible to attain salvation when you do not love God above all else and your neighbor as yourself – Holy Love. Living in Holy Love in the present moment is God's Holy and Divine Will; therefore, you see that the Protectress of the Faith and Refuge of Holy Love are together. I protect your faith in the Refuge of My Heart which is Holy Love.”

“Because I am your all-caring Mother, I desire you solicit My protection and the Refuge of My Heart in the midst of all trials, confusion, and compromise.”

“You will meet many challenges and face many new paths in this coming year. Remain close to My Son in the Eucharist. I will bless you.”

Blessed Mother comes as Protectress of the Faith. She says: “Praise be to Jesus.”

“In these times, recognition of My title ‘Protectress of the Faith' has slipped by. But you must courageously enforce the propagation of this title with zeal. I tell you this, for as ‘Protectress of the Faith,' I am able to pierce hearts with St. Michael's Sword and hold these hearts open to receive the truth willingly. This way, hearts will not receive the truth one minute and reject it the next.”

“Therefore, when you impart to someone the anointing of St. Michael, also say, ‘Mary, Protectress of the Faith, come to my aid.' This prayer holds sway over many powers of evil, but not over free will.”

Blessed Mother says: “Praise be to Jesus.”

“Today, dear little children, I come to you under My Title, Protectress of the Faith. Never before has there been such a need for this title. Never before in this country has faith been so under attack. Your nation, which was founded on freedom of religion, is experiencing this same freedom slipping away through unconstitutional laws.”

“You have the opportunity to defend your rights now. Do not cast your support in favor of one who promises much but takes away your God-given rights. Anyone can promise anything. But you, My children, must support life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness – happiness born of religious freedom.”

“This is the hour of decision which will determine the future of your nation. Let your decisions be faith-filled and life-giving.”

Blessed Mother says: “Praise be to Jesus.”

“Dear children, I come to you today as Protectress of the Faith to help you understand the true value of your gift of faith. Faith is not something you can neglect or toy with through needless temptations. Be aware of what is challenging your faith; be it people, places or things.”

“Do not challenge or try to redefine doctrine or dogma. Adhere to Holy Love and the Ten Commandments. Today, the secular world threatens faith on all sides. Never accept compromise.”

“Come to My Property and receive the Seal of Discernment.”

Our Lady comes as ‘Protectress of the Faith'. She says: “Praise be to Jesus.”

“Please understand, dear children, that faith can only be protected so long as Truth is protected. Truth can be profaned not only in what is said, but very often, in what is not said. The embrace of the faith must not leave a wide scope of interpretation to those who seek to follow the Truth. Consciences need a clearly defined path to follow in faith.”

Blessed Mother comes as Protectress of the Faith. She says: “Praise be to Jesus.”

“Dear children, once again I come to you to discuss these times in which you live. In the world, you have seasons marked by visible change in nature. In the spiritual world, there are seasons, as well. There are seasons of faith, seasons of doubt, heresy and apostasy. As Protectress of the Faith, I tell you that you are now deep into the season of apostasy. Unlike the seasons in nature, the signs of this season of apostasy go unnoticed. The fact that less and less people believe and keep holy the Sabbath is not of concern to most.”

“Faith falls away from the tree of life – withers and dies – matter-of-factly. There is very little positive or negative reaction from the general public. But I would not come to you as Protectress of the Faith if Jesus did not deem it necessary. In the world, you protect yourselves from the effects of your environment. In the Spring, you carry an umbrella. In the Summer, you protect yourselves from too much sun, and so on. Be wise, dear children. In this season of apostasy, allow Me, your Heavenly Mother, to protect you from the loss of your faith.”

Blessed Mother says: “Praise be to Jesus.”

“Today, I invite you to see that as beautiful leaves wither and die, the beauty of faith in hearts is also drying up and dying. This is due to lack of nurturing by a fruitful spiritual environment. Here at this site * you have a continual season of spiritual splendor. However, those who visit here must go back out into the coldness of the weary world.”

“Of all My apparitions, dear children, you are given the most here to carry on and to endure the insidious apostasy taking place in hearts today. I have come as the Protectress of Your Faith and the Mother, Defender of all Virtue. You can carry the water from Maranatha Spring with you as protection. You have received communications from Heaven and the Blessing Point.”

“What I am telling you, dear little children, is that you are never on your own in an unbelieving world unless you choose to be. Allow the graces given here to transform your hearts and your lives. You will not experience a bleak future, if you do so. Allow the Seal of Discernment – another beautiful grace given here – to lead you away from all that would lead you into apostasy.”

“Dear children, do not allow your faith to dry up, wither and die as the autumn leaves. See that untruth and abuse of authority are like the chilled wind that carries the leaf to the ground, only to lose its beauty. Allow Me to protect your faith from the wind of controversy. Place every doubt in My Immaculate Heart. Ask Me simply, ‘Mary, Protect My Faith'.”

* The apparition site of Maranatha Spring and Shrine located at 37137 Butternut Ridge Rd in North Ridgeville, Ohio 44039.

Our Lady comes as Mary, Protectress of the Faith. She says: “Praise be to Jesus.”

“I invite you to understand, dear children, that no one loses their faith accidentally. Faith becomes compromised by acceptance of compromised Truth through dangerous, even demoralizing pastimes and through complacency. Faith is attacked through sin, bad examples and erroneous discernment.”

“I desire that you become more aware of the enemies of your faith all around you. They are numerous. Dear children, doubts concerning matters of faith are Satan's hallmark. The more you allow yourselves to live lives contrary to a deep faith, the more you are vulnerable to Satan's lies.”

“Pray the rosary often and carry the rosary with you. Return to the use of holy water throughout the day. You can never be too protected. When Satan destroys your faith, he is made stronger and you are made weaker. Dear children, these are spiritual battles you must win.”

Our Lady comes as Mary, Protectress of the Faith. She says: “Praise be to Jesus.”

“Please realize that sincerity of heart must be grounded on true virtue. Virtue is true when it is internal; that is, it is within a heart embracing Holy Love, and not just external to impress or for show. Therefore, understand that hearts which are insincere, that is, with only external virtue, cannot enter into a sincere peace agreement. These are the ones who try to deceive while secretly pursuing their own agenda.”

“In the world, there are whole nations so motivated, saying what sounds good and pursuing another. But God sees into every heart. Nothing else matters – not physical appearance, possessions, importance in the eyes of others – not even your opinions. The color and flavor of your salvation is Holy Love in your heart. All that you think, speak and act is a reflection of this love and is a sign of your predestination.”

“It is what you hold as Truth in your heart that counts. This is internal. The external withers and dies.”

Blessed Mother is here as Mary, Protectress of the Faith. She says: “Praise be to Jesus.”

“Years ago, I came to you seeking recognition under the title ‘Protectress of the Faith', but it was deemed unnecessary by the ones who had the power to endorse it. Today, the faith has been ravaged by the compromise of Truth. Loss of faith has resulted in a multitude of church and school closings. These statistics bear witness to the ever-present need for this title and under this title, My protection.”

“Satan has succeeded in destroying the faith from the inside out, twisting vocations to his advantage and indoctrinating the youth with his lies instead of educating them in the Truth. So these days, there is truly a Remnant Faithful who still tenaciously cling to the Tradition of Faith.”

“As liberalism becomes more and more apparent, I remind one and all that I am still the ‘Protectress of the Faith', even though this important title has been denied the proper endorsement it deserves [in this country].* The lack of recognition of this title has cost many souls to lose their faith and has contributed greatly to the state of My Son's Mournful Heart.”

“Time has proven the need of this title, but errors continue to go unrecognized. How sad is the state of My Son's Heart as He sees what has happened and knows what could have been.”

* On August 28, 1988, Our Lady came as “Guardian of the Faith” to Visionary, Patricia Talbot, of Cuenca, Ecuador, in South America. In 1991, the Bishops of Ibarra and Guayaquil in Ecuador approved the movement which contains the name “Guardian of the Faith” and thus implicitly the title.

Our Lady comes as Protectress of the Faith. She says: Praise be to Jesus.”

“Contemplate, if you will, a small flower which represents the faith. I come to protect the flower and to nourish it with these Messages. The little flower, however, is besieged with disease – the compromise of Truth. It does not assimilate the nourishment I send from Heaven and, therefore, withers and dies.”

“The faith will likewise wither and die if it is not nourished in each soul by Heaven's grace. Like the little flower, faith is fragile and must be nourished from the outside in order to thrive within. The flower may be strangled by weeds and pestilence. Faith dies when exposed to the disease of liberalism and the weeds of compromised Truth.”

Our Lady comes as Our Lady, Protectress of the Faith. She says: “Praise be to Jesus.”

“Dear children, these days I pray that your faith will be strong and envelop you like a cocoon. All around you is error and compromise. In every aspect of society, Truth has been altered and confusion has taken over.”

“This is why God has sent Me as your Protectress. In the midst of the fire of controversy surrounding the great good of My Protection, realize that it is the yeast of the Pharisees, self-righteousness, which is your enemy.”

“Allow your faith to cradle you and cushion you against all compromised Truth. It is in this way, My Strength will work through you.”

Mary, Protectress of the Faith says: “Praise be to Jesus.”

“In every age it has been true that faith has been challenged by heresy, by worldly influence and by the press of popular opinion. These days are no different. What is different is the widespread acceptance of sin as a ‘freedom'. The influential of this present age have pandered to Satan's agenda. Countless souls have slipped to their perdition as a result.”

“What is of eternal value – Holy Love in the heart, a virtuous life and pursuit of personal holiness – is regarded as of little worth to most today. Faith is not seen as a gift from God, but as something to be challenged and questioned.”

“This is why I am sent to you to guard and to protect your faith. Your faith is more valuable than your next breath. You do not see, nor do you need to know what challenges you will face tomorrow; but, today, pray, hope and persevere in faith. Call on Me when your faith is challenged. I will protect you.”

Having faith and good conscience to fight the good fight

Mary, Protectress of the Faith says: “Praise be to Jesus.”

“Please write this [prayer] down.”

Prayer to Mary, Protectress of the Faith

“Mary, protect my faith from all heresy. Protect my faith from popular opinion. Protect my faith from the desire to be accepted by others. Protect my faith from all doubts.”

“Mary, Protectress of the Faith, strengthen me against all the temptations of the day. Help me to appreciate the priceless gift of faith God has given me. Please place my faith in the protection of your Immaculate Heart and assist me in defending the Truth. Amen.”

Mary, Protectress of the Faith comes and says: “Praise be to Jesus.”

“I have come to tell you why My Title, ‘Protectress of the Faith', is even more important today than it was decades ago when I asked for it. These days, people have made a false god of free will choices. Anything they want is rationalized into legitimacy. Every type of pleasure becomes a need. Social media has made shipwreck of a conscientious sacramental life. Leaders are more interested in being accepted than in leading. Therefore, people are not concerned about sin or feel responsible for their own salvation. All of this bears witness to empty Churches, closed Churches and schools, and disrespect for the sacraments.”

“Being that this is true today, who will have faith when even more confusion comes in the future? My children need to fly to My Protection more than ever as a cloud of division has settled upon the Church! I will not fail you in your hour of need. While many will only believe what is easiest to believe, I will guide you according to Tradition if you ask Me. I will not allow you to be dashed against the rocks of controversy. With a gentle, loving touch, I will guide your soul into the safe harbor of Truth.”

“In all your confusion and doubts, speak my name, Mary, Protectress of the Faith. I will fly to your aid.”

Prelude to the Second Coming of Christ

* -Scripture verses asked to be read by Mary, Protectress of the Faith.
-Synopsis of Scripture provided by spiritual advisor.

Mary, Protectress of the Faith says: “Praise be to Jesus.”

“Today, I would like to address what causes the loss of the gift of faith. Free will must open the door to doubts. Doubts arise from affinity for the world: reputation, power, material goods or intellectual pride. This last threat to faith, intellectual pride; promotes the desire to question everything and to seek proof. But faith accepts that which cannot be proven by worldly standards. Faith believes in the unseen and that which is impossible to prove.”

“These days, the heart of the world has surrendered to cynicism. The Truth is challenged and misrepresented. Faith is then compromised as Truth is compromised.”

The struggle to maintain the faith becomes even greater when leadership does not take firm stands against sin and error but supports a general confusion.”

“I am always present to help those who struggle.”

“Satan flees before My Title, ‘Mary, Protectress of the Faith'. I desire, dear children, that you understand the true treasure that your faith is. It is the summation of your salvation.”

Read 2 Timothy 1:13-14 *

Hold firm to the sound teaching of faith and love in Christ Jesus. Guard trust in this gift through the Holy Spirit.
Hold the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me in faith, and in the love which is in Christ Jesus. Keep the good thing committed to thy trust by the Holy Ghost, who dwelleth in us.

Blessed Mother comes as Mary, Protectress of the Faith. She says: “Praise be to Jesus.”

“Dear children, sin is sin no matter who believes it or not. Do not accept new interpretations of right and wrong – good versus evil – because they are presented to you under any official capacity. Hold deep in your heart the tenets of faith and do not waiver according to modern redefinitions of sin or because of compassion towards the sinner.”

“God's Mercy is upon the sinner and for that reason He sends this Mission into the world to bring the Light of Truth into hearts. Confusion is the order of the day. Black and white issues of sin have been painted gray. Consciences have been encouraged towards false ends.”

“But this has not changed. Souls are still at stake and in jeopardy, even more so today due to advanced technology used to spread falsehood.”

“Stay close to Me, dear children. Allow Me to protect your faith and your sense of right and wrong. I will help you to recognize the intrinsic evil of modern-day thinking. I will defend the Truth in your hearts so that you will not be deceived.”

“Turn to Me. Hope in My protection of your faith.

Read 2 Timothy 1:13-14, 3:1-5 *

Hold true to the tenets of faith and love learned in sound teachings (of the Church). Avoid teachers who are lovers of self, proud, pleasure seeking, haters of piety, and coveters of power and authority.

Hold the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me in faith, and in the love which is in Christ Jesus. Keep the good thing committed to thy trust by the Holy Ghost, Who dwelleth in us. …Know also this that, in the last days, shall come dangerous times. Men shall be lovers of themselves, covetous, haughty, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, wicked, Without affection, without peace, slanderers, incontinent, unmerciful, without kindness, traitors, stubborn, puffed up, and lovers of pleasures more than of God: Having an appearance indeed of godliness, but denying the power thereof. Now these avoid.

“Today, dear children, I invite you to have faith and hope in My words to you. You are on the path of Truth and salvation if you practice Holy Love. Do not fear these times although they are evil. Rather, see the profound graces you are offered here by the Hand and the Voice of your Heavenly Mother.”

“Though treachery and deceit are all around you, I invite you to hope as never before in My Protection. I will pull you from the snares of evil and bring you into the security of My Heart. All you need do is ask with hope in your hearts.”

“No guile or hidden agenda will escape the Light of Truth in the end. Every heart will be laid bare.”

Read Romans 8:24-25, 28 *

Have faith and hope in the Love of God who makes all things work together for the good.

For we are saved by hope. But hope that is seen, is not hope. For what a man seeth, why doth he hope for? But if we hope for that which we see not, we wait for it with patience. . . .And we know that to them that love God, all things work together unto good, to such as, according to His purpose, are called to be saints.

Blessed Mother comes as Mary, Protectress of the Faith. She says: “Praise be to Jesus.”

“Today, dear children, I invite each of you to look into your hearts and recognize what is most important to you. Is it money, pleasure, power, reputation or some other disordered passion? I have come to tell you that it should be your faith anchored in Holy Love. All of these other things are passing, but your faith based on Holy Love will carry you into eternal life.”

“You should regard your faith, then, as a priceless jewel of eternal value. Such a gem requires protection just as any earthly treasure would. You cannot place the jewel of your faith in any worldly security box or safe. You must place your faith in the Secure Refuge of My Immaculate Heart – Refuge of Holy Love. With a mother's tender care I desire to safeguard the treasure of your faith against Satan's attacks and temptations. Secured in My Heart, your faith will be safe from every marauder so long as you heed My warnings.”

“A great portion of the Seal of Discernment discloses the enemy's covert actions and reveals his hidden agendas. If, together, we can disarm this lying spirit which deludes the unsuspecting heart, we will be victorious in protecting the faith in your heart.”

“Be on guard and call upon me – Mary, Protectress of the Faith. Satan's compromise will be revealed and he will flee.”

Read Colossians 2:8-10 *

Synopsis: Warning not to be deceived by false teachers who follow human ways rather than the Tradition of Faith. All believers share in the fullness of Christ, Who is the head of all principalities and powers.

See to it that no one makes a prey of you by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the universe, and not according to Christ. For in Him the whole fulness of deity dwells bodily, and you have come to fulness of life in Him, Who is the Head of all rule and authority.

* -Scripture verses asked to be read by Blessed Mother.
-Scripture taken from the Ignatius Bible.
-Synopsis of Scripture provided by spiritual advisor.

Blessed Mother says: “Praise be to Jesus.”

“Dear children, I invite you to see that My title, Protectress of the Faith, is fading into obscurity just as the true faith is fading away. What could have been a strength has been taken away and the faithful [are] left to defend what some do not even value. Controversy was the weapon Satan used against My title which was, and is, so vital to these times. Controversy is also Satan's weapon against the faith.”

“Continue to pray to Me under this all important title without regard for who believes or disbelieves. These days you must make your own determination between good and evil. How can it be wrong to ask protection of your faith?”

Blessed Mother says: “Praise be to Jesus.”

“Today, on the anniversary of My request to be recognized as the ‘Protectress of the Faith', I invite all people and all nations to take account of the state of the faith in the world today. It would only have taken the stroke of a pen to endorse this title, yet it was deemed unnecessary by those in power. So, today, you have a faith fractured by scandal – fanned by the abuse of authority, and rocked by the compromise of Truth to such a degree that the people embrace untruth wholeheartedly, no longer questioning its origin.”

“Under my title, ‘Protectress of the Faith', I was prepared to defend every heart from errors and doubt. My title has not been weakened by lack of approvals as I stand ready to guard and defend the faith in every heart. Yet, today, few know to come to Me as their Protectress. The title has been made obscured by those who could have supported and promoted it. The faith of those who tediously worked to oppose this title has been transformed by error.”

“I tell you these things today with sadness as I watch My children struggle in their attempts to maintain their faith. Do not allow this title to continue to fade into obscurity. Promote it. Propagate it. My grace will assist you.”

(Note: After checking with a theologian from the diocese, the bishop rejected Our Lady's request for the title ‘Protectress of the Faith' stating that there already were too many devotions to Blessed Mother and the saints. Our Lady requested this title from the Cleveland bishop in 1987.)

Our Lady comes as Refuge of Holy Love but changes into Protectress of the Faith. She says: “Praise be to Jesus.”

“Today, dear children, I encourage you to always be faithful to the Truth no matter who opposes you. Already in the world there is a schism between liberal and conservative beliefs in the political world and in church circles, as well. The conservative forces are morally sound and abide in the Truth. The liberals try to reinvent the Truth to suit their own needs and self-indulgence.”

“These schisms between good and evil will only expand as time moves forward and mankind carves a path away from the Truth. The times approach when those who persevere in the Truth will be labeled as the schismatics and those who pursue their own will outside of the Truth – the liberals – will masquerade as righteous. You must not be tricked by any title or authority or numbers of those who oppose the Truth. Dear children, stand firm in unchangeable Tradition.”

Read 2 Timothy 1:13-14, 3:1-5, 4:1-5+

Synopsis: Stand firm in the True Faith and Love which are in Christ Jesus. …for in these last days are dangerous evil times in which men are more lovers of self, covetous, haughty, proud, disobedient, faithless, treacherous and stubborn, loving pleasure more than God, having of piety but disowning its power and grace…Thus, in the sight of God and Christ Jesus preach the Truth in its Sacred Tradition of Faith with patience in rebuking and reproving all those in error for these are the times when they will not accept sound doctrines of the Faith, but will take to themselves the false teachers turning away from the Truth. Be watchful of these things bearing with tribulations patiently and working to fulfill the Mission and Ministry of Holy Love.

Follow the pattern of the sound words which you have heard from me, in the faith and love which are in Christ Jesus; guard the Truth that has been entrusted to you by the Holy Spirit who dwells within us. …But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of stress. For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, inhuman, implacable, slanderers, profligates, fierce, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, holding the form of religion but denying the power of it. Avoid such people. …I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus who is to judge the living and the dead, and by His appearing and His Kingdom: preach the Word, be urgent in season and out of season, convince, rebuke, and exhort, be unfailing in patience and in teaching. For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own likings, and will turn away from listening to the Truth and wander into myths. As for you, always be steady, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.

-Synopsis of scripture provided by Spiritual Advisor.

Our Lady comes as Protectress of the Faith. She says: “Praise be to Jesus.”

“Today I come to you under a title which has not been approved, but we know non-approvals are not disapprovals. In this case, history has shown the huge necessity for My Protection of the Faith. The Faith has never before been so insidiously attacked through the abuse of authority and the compromise of Truth. Bishops and cardinals have chosen their own agendas over the Truths of the Faith. My children are misled and cannot find their way back to the Truth. Politics within the Church have overrun the Truth. Those who try to defend the Truth are summarily dismissed as too conservative.”

“While I came to defend the faith decades ago, My efforts were dismissed as unnecessary.* Now today, few know to come to Me when their faith is put to the test.”

“Faith is not a policy that can be chosen or set-aside. Faith is a gift from God, which if rejected, strips the soul of divine reality. It is not up for dispute nor is it based upon human reason. It must not be the subject of controversy.”

“The soul without faith is like a ship lost at sea. He tries to find his own way, believing he has the Truth, but in the end he is tossed upon the jagged rocks of disbelief.”

“Under My Title ‘Protectress of the Faith', I am prepared to always defend your faith against error or any doubts Satan places in your heart. Satan flees before this title. It makes no difference who believes in what I tell you here** today. Their disbelief does not change the power God has given to Me under this title.”

“Dear children, I am your Mother and the Protectress of your Faith.”

* Note: After checking with a theologian from the diocese, the bishop rejected Our Lady's request for the title ‘Protectress of the Faith' stating that there already were too many devotions to Blessed Mother and the saints. Our Lady requested this title from the Cleveland bishop in 1987.

Our Lady comes as Protectress of the Faith. She says: “Praise be to Jesus.”

“Today, I come to you as in decades past under a title never accepted or recognized by hierarchy, as it was deemed unnecessary.* Yet today, some of the very ones who opposed this title have lost their faith. I come to you under this title as your faith is a treasure greater than any priceless gem, and it needs protection. People in general do not value their faith and are very careless – exposing it to every sort of challenge. If you could see as I do, the common disregard for the importance of a sacramental life and the numbers of sacrileges committed daily at Communion, you would flee to My Arms and seek My Protection. These days, many people receive My Son under pretense and not in a state of grace, as they should be.”

“Liberal thinking has caused shipwreck to the faith, as people try to change the faith to fit their agenda. In that way, they affirm lukewarm faith and lessen the importance of the Traditions the Church was founded upon.”

“Today, I come to you once again under this title seeking your recognition of its necessity. You will never use this title but that I will come to your aid in every necessity, but especially in battles of faith. This title is Heaven's gift to the world during these troubled times. Please accept it and use it.”
