The following is a letter mailed to each of the members of the United States Conference of Bishops (USCCB) on March 28, 2015.
Re: The Bishops of the United States and the Enshrinement of Our Lady of America
Please consider: You have no power over any human being. No man has power over any other man and no man answers to any other man, only to God. It’s all about souls. Please recall Jesus of Nazareth’s words to Pontius Pilate: “You have no power over me.” Please remember that we are in God’s world, not He in ours.
Please consider that on November 10, 2014, the “National Catholic Register” (NCR) reported that “As the Bishops of the United States gather in Baltimore this week for their fall meeting, the family and the recent Synod on the Family are forefront in many bishops’ minds.” NCR further reported that “Our Lord calls us all to purity and fifty years ago he sent his mother, calling herself Our Lady of America, . . . to call us to purity and sanctification of the family. Today, there is a movement underway to have the Bishops of the United States fulfill her requests with the promise to pour forth many graces.”* “The desire of the promoters of the devotion, including several bishops, is to use the scheduled adoration time on Thursday, November 13th, and have the bishops make the short trip to the shrine to fulfill Our Lady’s request.”* Needless to say, this did not happen.
In January 1957, Our Lady spoke to Sister Mary Ephrem, the nun to whom Our Lady revealed herself as Our Lady of America: “My daughter, will my children in America listen to my pleadings and console my Immaculate Heart? Will my loyal sons carry out my desires and thus help me bring the peace of Christ once again to mankind? [Apparently Our Lady’s loyal sons have answered “No.” Say we one, say we all.]
“Pray and do penance, my sweet child, that this may come to pass. Trust me and love me, I so desire it. Do not forget your poor Mother, who weeps over the loss of so many of her children.”**
Consider the family: one father, one mother and children. Consider the words of St. Joseph to Sister Mary Ephrem on March 18, 1958: “All fatherhood is blest in me whom the Eternal Father chose as His representative on earth, the Virgin-Father of His own Divine Son. Through me the Heavenly Father has blessed all fatherhood, and through me He continues and will continue to do so till the end of time.”**
On March 19, 1958, St. Joseph again spoke to Sister Mary Ephrem: “. . . I was king in the little home of Nazareth, for I sheltered within it the Prince of Peace and the Queen of Heaven. To me they looked for protection and sustenance, and I did not fail them.”**
Consider Jesus’s words to Sister Mary Ephrem, July 12, 13, 14, 1954: “My children, every home and every soul is My Father’s house, for He made them and they are His. But many of them are no longer sanctified by His Presence. Thieves have entered in and stolen from Him His temples of prayers. It is you, My children, who have let them in. If, My children, you will cleanse your temples, My Father will return and We will come and make our abode with you.”**

Bottom Line: The Pope, the Archbishops, the Bishops, the Cardinals, the Monsignors – all are priests. All priests are human beings. All human beings have souls. And all souls go home to Eternity when the human being’s body dies.
And no, God the Father isn’t sitting in His Heaven directing you, a member of the USCCB, to run His Son’s Church as though Jesus does not exist because He’s dead. Died a long time ago. Gone. Huh.
Please recall that when Jesus, the human being, died, His soul returned home to Eternity: “But Jesus, again crying out in a loud voice, yielded up his spirit” (New Jerusalem Bible, Matthew 27:50). Souls are immortal. And it’s all about souls.
Please consider what Mother Mary (Our Lady of America) promised on September 25, 1956: “I am pleased, my child, with the love and honor my children in America give to me, especially through my glorious and unique privilege of the Immaculate Conception. I promise to reward their love by working through the power of my Son’s Heart and my Immaculate Heart miracles of grace among them. I do not promise miracles of the body, but of the soul.”**
May God so grant that you will return to Jesus’s way of thinking and teaching, return to honoring His Blessed Mother and enshrine her as Our Lady of America in Her Basilica in Washington, D.C., as she asked of her “loyal sons” over fifty-five years ago.
God bless you and God bless America.
Respectfully yours in Christ,
