Divine Mercy: The Heart of the Gospel

180 Divine Mercy: The Heart Of The Gospel papal proclamation o f a dogma be necessary for the full release of graces and mercy from the Immaculate Heart o f Mary? God, the Abba Father, does not force His grace upon us. God has tremendous respect for human freedom and the freedom of the human heart, and His grace is only given when it is petitioned for, and it is only received when the heart has been opened to it. This is also true regarding the salvific role of the Mother of Mercy. Her titles are her works. When we call the Blessed Mother the Mediatrix of Mercy, that is not just an honorary title; it is a function that she performs for the Mystical Body, and until we fully acknowledge that title, she cannot fu lly exercise that function for her family. Thus, there exists a true theological foundation, that until the Holy Father freely makes the proclamation on the highest level o f Truth, the Blessed Mother will not have the freedom io fu lly exercise her titles and their functions as the Co-redemptrix, the Mediatrix o f all graces, the Advocate for the human family, and intercede for the much awaited Triumph o f Her Immaculate Heart, which leads to the Triumph of Divine Mercy. As one author put it, God awaited the yes, the fiat o f a woman to bring the world His Son, and now the Woman awaits th z f ia t of one man, the Vicar o f Christ, to bring the world the inestimable graces of the Triumph o f Her Most Immaculate Heart.

And, therefore, until the Church freely and fully acknowl­ edges Our Lady’s roles as the Mother o f All Peoples, the “Mother Suffering” (the Co-redemptrix), the “Mother nourishing” (the Mediatrix of all Graces and Mercy), and the “Mother pleading” (the Advocate), then Our Mother will not be able to fully exercise these mediational roles for the Church and a world in desperate need for a New Pentecost from the Spirit through the Bride. The need for this great Marian Dogma to initiate the Triumph o f the Immaculate Heart is being petitioned for by over 530 bishops, inclusive o f 44 cardinals, and nearly 5 million Catholic faithful are praying and petitioning for this papal proclamation. O f course, as to time and appro­ priateness o f this papal proclamation, we completely submit to the deci­ sion o f our Totus Tuus and Divine Mercy pope, Pope John Paul II. Let us, therefore, heed the call of heaven for the Triumph of the
