Since May 2007 the image of the Lady of All Nations has been present in a small hermitage on the heights of the island of Capri, Italy. see

Subject: Greetings from the Philippines!

… What we do have is a Day of Prayer (or maybe an Afternoon, as it's from 4-8p.m.) on Thursday, May 21, at the Greenhills Chapel. This is where the Center for Peace has moved our weekly Thursday evening "Intensive Prayer". It's a beautiful chapel within a popular shopping mall, with the Blessed Sacrament in the tabernacle, and a daily noontime MASS. People come in and out throughout the day to pray--only in the Philippines!

For this day we are starting earlier than usual, and making it a special celebration in honor of THE LADY OF ALL NATIONS. Carmela and our other friends have been busy preparing for this. We are preparing "kits" to give out to all those who come (Carmela thinks maybe about 500)--prayer cards, "This Time is Our Time", and other Lady of All Nations materials)

…

Regarding the 2009 Lady of All Nations poster-calendars which we had printed, a good number of them were given to the bishops when they came to Manila for their twice-a-year meeting last January. For those bishops who could not take the calendars with them, we sent directly to their dioceses. Hopefully they have given them to their priests to place in their parishes, to some of the diocesan lay leaders, catechists, etc. We leave it to our Blessed Mother to go where she wants to go--we are just unworthy servants.

Many other calendars as well as a continuing supply of prayer cards went/go to groups and individuals who are helping spread our Lady's devotion. For example, Mrs. Sally Lee, who is a provincial governor and who goes around her area a lot, volunteered to take hundreds of calendars and several thousand prayer cards.

We are always so happy when people want to help, as we are so limited in what we can do. And each time, we think of our Lady's assurance that it is HER work, and that she will help, and we thank Her.

Something we have started to do is to make a list of the parishes around Manila and its environs, and their parish fiestas. The idea is to go to these parishes on the day of their fiesta and give out the prayer cards there, with even just a short "Our Lady is asking us to pray this prayer every day." explanation to each person receiving the prayer cards. There are always a lot of people at these fiesta Masses, and we hand out the prayer cards personally. Some of our friends have gone to a few parishes, but since we've been away a lot lately we've not been able to join. We'll assess how good this has been, and continue if it looks like a good technique.

…

Bye bye, and love and prayers for all of you. And a million thanks for your constant prayers for us, which we need badly!

P.S. Our co-workers in Cebu, Bohol, Silay and La Union hold their own Days
of Prayer, as they had done for some years now.
It looks like Baby Muangsiri of Bangkok is planning a Day of Prayer, as she has been doing in the past. Just got an email from her, and she's asking us about the liturgy which we are using, etc.

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.


2010 in India

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...
