Dear Action leaders,
Dear friends of the Lady of All Nations.
In July 2005, the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith requested
that the words “who once was
Mary” be left out of the prayer of the Lady of All Nations
out of consideration for those who do not understand this phrase.
We would like once again especially to thank those who immediately complied
with these instructions. Through this obedience it was possible, over
the past eighteen months, to continue praying and spreading the prayer
of the Lady of All Nations which is of such relevance and importance for
our times.
In the meantime, the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith has presented
the following version to the responsible bishop of Haarlem-Amsterdam,
Msgr. Joseph Maria Punt. In order to make it clear that the title ‘Lady
of All Nations’ refers to Our Lady, the Congregation for
the Doctrine of the Faith desires the words “the
Blessed Virgin Mary” to be added to the prayer. Thus, the
end of the prayer is now:
“May the Lady of All Nations,
the Blessed Virgin Mary,
be our Advocate.”
So it is that we ask you once again to accept and support this additional
alteration, as it is only in this way that this powerful prayer can again
be spread worldwide, translated and prayed in unison – and this
even with the express consent of the Congregation for the Doctrine of
the Faith and in union with our Holy Father, Pope Benedict XVI.
We would like sincerely to thank you for your love for the Lady and Mother
of All Nations and for your zeal for the “Worldwide Action”
which she herself desired. The spreading of her image and her prayer with
its urgent plea for the coming of the Holy Spirit into “the
hearts of all nations” and for the preservation “from
degeneration, disaster and war”, is more relevant and necessary
than ever before.
