A Congress of the Clergy took place in Manila, Philippines, in July 2004, with four thousand priests and more than one hundred bishops. All participants received an information package containing material on the Lady of All Nations and accompanied by a letter from His Excellency, Gaudencio Rosales, Archbishop of Manila. In it, he challenged everyone to pray the prayer of the Lady of All Nations daily, to spread the image and to ask others to spread the prayer.

The information package contained the booklets 'Origin, Messages, Significance', 'The Daily Miracle', 'The Eucharistic Experiences' as well as prayer cards in different dialects.

The Lady of All Nations has a fundamental place in the pastoral renewal program of Fr. Raymond Jackson’s parish in Texas. Every week a different family takes the pilgrim image home with them along with an informational video. “It never yet happened”, said Fr. Jackson, “that the Mother was not accepted.” The pilgrim image comes back with a bouquet of flowers to the parish every Saturday where the next family is already waiting for her.
In this same way, Fr. Jackson brings the Lady of All Nations to the missionary churches along the Mexican border and has had great success among the Spanish speaking population.

.… I wrote and told you about the experience I had of learning more about the Lady of All Nations and about what she does for us. I told you that I participate in pastoral care here in Peru, in a youth prison with underage boys.
As you may know, these youngsters have many family problems. They come from broken families and the demon uses them to destroy their own lives. We received a picture of the Blessed Virgin and this expresses how Our Mother who wants to help and fight for us, so that we, as lost sheep, return to the fold and see the eyes of Our Saviour.

This May 12, we are going to have a pilgrimage inside our center …, with our youngsters; they too want to identify Our Mother as their mother, feel the great love she has for us and know that she is always praying for us, her children.
In each pavilion, we are going to reflect about Our Mother Mary. When I read her messages, Our Mother tells us that we shall pray this prayer to the Holy Spirit with lots of strength, so that He is the one who comes to reign...

For some years now the Lady of All Nations has found hearts that are especially open in India. The Our Lady's prayer has already been translated into more than ten local languages there and hundreds-of-thousands of prayer cards have been distributed. This is thanks in part to the efforts of Pieter van der Veen
and Chiel van Soelen. These two professional translators from the Netherlands spend a few months each year in India and elsewhere in Asia visiting bishops throughout those countries to help them come to know and love the Lady of All Nations.


2005 in Cambodia, Burma
Imprimatur in Khmer! Letter from Cambodia on Friday, January 21, 2005:
...The beauty of it is that there is no other Marian devotion present in Cambodia. ... The Lady has truly planted her feet in a country where she had not come before. ...

Another Imprimatur! Letter from Burma/Myanmar on Friday, February 5, 2005:
His Excellency Charles Bo SDB, Archbishop of Yangon welcomes the Lady of All Nations: In a short time the prayer is translated. 200,000 prayer cards and 20,000 posters were printed in time to be distributed during the Eucharistic Congress on February 11, where 60,000 participants and all bishops of Burma were expected.

For the second time, friends of the Lady of All Nations in Wellington, New Zealand, united themselves with the pilgrims at the Sixth International Day of Prayer in Amsterdam. As they did the year before, 2003, Tineke Timmermans and Gwen McBride sent an exact description of how the pilgrim image of the Lady of All Nations has gone all across New Zealand.
The way in which Tineke and Gwen began this mission is very original and worth imitating. Both of them made small information packets containing the English video ‘The Crowning of the Marian Era’, a poster-sized copy of the image, and some prayer cards. They passed these packets out to those who were interested at a Marian gathering so that the veneration of the Lady of All Nations would be spread in different areas. More and more people felt called to help with spreading the devotion.

It truly is a pleasure to see the radiant faces of those who receive the image. We have developed a way of working which, though simple and humble, is full of love. We bring the image which you sent me and which we had framed to the homes of the persons who are accustomed to go to Mass but cannot attend for reasons of illness or advanced age.

The owners of the home invite their neighbors and on the first day we give them the materials along with the prayer cards… We describe the image, pray the prayer and a decade of the Rosary and then we leave, returning the following week to pick up the image.

During this week the owner of the home continues to gather at a time which is convenient with their neighbors or, if they prefer, they can take the image and go and visit other neighbors. We also leave them the books which you sent so that they can read them during that week.

Even though we tell them that everyone can pray for his own particular intentions, we ask them that the principal intention be for peace in the world which begins by having peace in our hearts.

There are no words to describe the glory that one feels when the doors are opened. Everywhere there is always an altar prepared with flowers or candles, from the humblest to the wealthiest homes, and they anxiously await Our Lady and prepare a privileged place for her.

… I am infinitely thankful for the opportunity which has been given me to be able to take part in this mission and I too hope to continue receiving your news.
United in Christ,
Gisela

In Miami, Florida, after bringing the pilgrim image for visits to homes of family and friends for several years now, one guardian decided that she should bring the image to those who have never heard of or seen the Lady of All Nations before. Since she lives, like so many others in Miami, in a high-rise apartment building, she thought she would contact others in the building, many of whom she had never met before, to see if they too would be interested in having the image in their apartment for a while.

Regina is a 52-year old lady. She is a very prayerful person, and is a member of the Blue Army. In March 2005 she went to the Mary Consolatrix Monastery to be prayed over. She was then suffering from what was said to be ovarian cancer. Regina says that in 1992 she had bleeding and in 1993 she was discovered to have mayoma.

Around August 2004 Regina felt her stomach becoming big. By March 2005 her stomach had become really big.
In the months following, Regina was feeling weaker.
On November 4, 2005, a first Friday, Regina suddenly felt very weak. She was on the second floor of her home. She just became weaker and weaker. A special minister of the Eucharist came to her home and gave her Holy Communion. According to accounts of neighbors, she went unconscious.

The family members were summoned from far and near, friends and neighbors came to Regina’s home. As the morning wore off, she became even weaker. There was no movement from her, no response, apparently no life although there was weak breathing once in a while. According to some, Regina’s body felt cold. Those around her were crying.
At a certain point Regina suddenly held out both arms and started to speak in English - something which she does not normally do. All were astounded. She was saying things like “yes Lord, yes Mama Mary”. This was at about 3:00 p.m.

That evening at around 10:00 Regina seemed to have breathed her last. Arrangement and plans were made for her wake. The family chose a casket for her body.
Suddenly about 5:00 the next morning Regina woke up, stood up, asked for water, and wanted to walk to the bathroom and have a bath on her own. She was surprised to find herself on the ground floor (she had been carried downstairs the day before). Regina was also surprised to see so many of her relatives and neighbors in her home, and wondered what the commotion was all about.

Regina then told her family and those around her that she had gone to a place where she met an old man holding some keys. There was a big door in front of her through which she wanted to go, but she could not. She tried a couple of times to open it, with no success. The old man told her she had to go back where she came from, but she answered that she did not know how to get back. Whereupon she suddenly regained consciousness and got up.

When asked about the episode of holding out her arms and saying “yes Lord …”, Regina said that she saw the figure of Jesus Divine Mercy standing in front of her and speaking to her. Beside Jesus was the Blessed Mother Mary who also spoke to her.
Regina could not quite describe the figure of the Blessed Mother so her husband started showing her pictures of the Blessed Mother: No, it wasn’t Our Lady of Lourdes, nor of Guadalupe. Then a prayer-card fell to the floor from among the stack of holy pictures which they had on top of a table, and Regina cried “there, that’s the one I saw!” It was the picture of Mary, the Lady of All Nations.

From this day on Regina became progressively better and stronger. She has been able to go about normally. Everything seemed well, except that her stomach was still big.
As a result of this healing, both Regina and her husband have been inspired to spread the devotion to Jesus Divine Mercy and Mary the Lady of All Nations.
By March 2006 we learned from a friend that Regina is doing very well, and that her stomach has now gone back to normal size.

At the start of December, right after a series of disastrous storms, another one, a much larger and stronger one, threatened to again hit the whole country. When this news came out, the appeal for prayer went flying across the country through text messages and everybody really prayed.

The prayer of the Lady of All Nations was frequently aired on national TV while we prayed and braced ourselves for the disaster -- which never came. Even CNN reported that it was a very unusual thing that happened: This powerful typhoon was headed straight for the Philippines, but, quite strangely, it veered, changing direction, and went away!

A newly converted lawyer was accused of being an accomplice in a bank robbery by a former client and put in jail. He passed his time alongside drug dealers and murderers with the Rosary and the Bible, praying for them and everybody who was brought to him in this prison. His sister spread the prayer card among friends and acquaintances and asked them to pray for her brother. After three weeks, this lawyer, who strongly felt the help of Jesus and Mary in this time, was released, after the important clues were found and the case was solved.
There were quite a few conversions in his circle of friends and many began to pray and go to confession again. At the time of his conversion a few months before all of this took place, this lawyer had offered himself in expiation for the conversion of the world...
