The Worldwide Action of the Lady of All Nations

“Go with great ardor and zeal about this work of redemption and peace, and you will behold the miracle” (April 1, 1951). From great and small, the prayer and image of the Lady of all Nations shall be “made known throughout the world, among all peoples. They all have a right to it” (April 29, 1951).
More than 50 years ago already, the visionary Ida Peerdeman saw the effects of the Action in a vision: “… the prayer and the image [will] spread over the world and fall down into the hearts of all nations” (April 1, 1951). “This action is not destined for one country, but is destined for all nations” (October 11, 1953).
Millions of prayer cards, translated into more than 80 languages, have already been spread throughout the whole world and images of the Lady of All Nations have been placed in many churches and chapels for veneration. In addition, the faithful in many countries have assumed the responsibility to become guardians of pilgrim images of the Lady of All Nations bringing a framed copy of image for a period of time to families and friends, prayer groups, parishes and convents, to prisons, schools or nursing homes. The host family or group welcomes any who want to come and pray before the pilgrim image and together they pray, for example, the novena of the Lady of All Nations or the Rosary along with the prayer of Amsterdam. Innumerable people from around the world pray the prayer of the Lady of All Nations daily and experience the power of her intercession. Click here for more information.

My Cooperation with the World Action

As the Apostles at the multiplication of the loaves simply distributed the bread, so also shall we simply distribute this image and prayer, and the Mother will touch their hearts. “You will find that the spreading will happen as if by itself” (April 15, 1951). “I assure you that the world will change” (April 29, 1951).
Yes, we all need the concrete help of Our Lady, because most of the time giving out the image and prayer to people requires us to overcome ourselves. Each of us find it difficult, more or less, to approach a stranger, speak with them and then offer them something religious besides.
Perhaps a few important and simple “guidelines” might be helpful. When I want to speak with someone, for example, I can pray the prayer of the Lady of all Nations silently before giving them the image so that the Holy Spirit guides my words and then give them the image. I can also ask my guardian angel to make a connection with the other person’s angel. When possible, we should choose the right moment wisely, for example, when there are not so many “spectators” at the cash register in the grocery store or getting on the bus when the driver is pressed for time and many are waiting in line. The person being addressed often reacts self-consciously, ashamed in the full “public” view, and will then often refuse. However, the most decisive factor is always the courteous and kind style with which I conduct myself towards the person to whom I want to offer the image and prayer. It does not require any great discourse in the beginning. For example, it would be short and simple for you to say, “May I give you a little gift? This is a nice picture of Mary with a prayer for the Holy Spirit. It is a prayer for peace in the world.” If the person hesitates, we should not impose in any way! In some situations it may still be possible to say, “But everybody needs Mary’s protection.” or, “we all wish for peace though.” Often, however, a nice discussion develops about the Christian faith. To leave the image and prayer out in public places such as churches, hospitals, or schools, you always have to ask the priest or the responsible person there first. The words of Our Lady certainly apply to everybody who tries, “You are afraid? But I am helping you!” (April 15, 1951). “Mary is taking full responsibility for this” (April 4, 1954).

Days of Prayer honoring the Lady of All Nations

In the message from May 31, 1995, the Lady of All Nations said, “Understand these words well when I say: see to it that every year the nations are assembled around this throne, before this image. This is the great favor that Mary, Miriam, or the Lady of All Nations, may grant to the world.” So in 1997, one year after the official recognition of the title, the First International Day of Prayer in honor of the Lady of All Nations took place. Some 5,000 pilgrims participated from many different countries. In the years following this event, international Days of Prayer were held in Amsterdam as well as national Days of Prayer and local prayer meetings where people gathered around an image of the Lady of All Nations.
Days of Prayer throughout the world

It was clear that the Lady of All Nations, through the Days of Prayer, also wanted to lead the people in a loving way to her Son, to the Blessed Sacrament. For example, many people decided to go to Confession after they had not been for many years or those searching found their way to the Catholic faith, young men and women were able to decide for the consecrated life, and also many found consolation and their prayer intentions were heard.
In our time, where we suffer from terror, aggression, and lack of peace, the Days of Prayer honoring the Lady of All Nations (open the archive)have become a sign of hope for many. People from different cultures and nations pray together as one family before the image of the Lady of All Nations in the joyful knowledge that she will bring us from a time of degeneration, disaster and war into a time of grace, redemption, and peace.
