News – Our Lady of America at Ground Zero

By September 9, 2007March 2nd, 2019Announcement, News

Ave Maria!

??

The Statue of Our Lady of America will be at Ground Zero in Lower Manhattan on Tuesday 9/11 on the 6th annual commemoration of the terrorist attack on the Twin Towers. This is the same statue that was blessed by Archbishop Burke at the November 2006 Bishop’s Meeting of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) and was until yesterday enthroned at the Old Cathedral of St. Louis, MO. The crowds attending the devotion to Our Lady of America are expected to be large because for the first time the actual Ground Zero site will be closed to those coming to the commemoration. A large part of the NYPD and Fire Department are already shifting their attention to the devotions we are holding to Our Lady of America. This is understandable because Our Lady of America made dire predictions of what would happen if America did not cease to be purveyors of pornography and instead start to be promoters of purity. With the failure of raw military power to quell terrorism in Iraq and the spectre of a nuclear Iran, those who have suffered most from the last terrorist attack are seeing the need to take the apparitions of Our Lady seriously, to get back to God and purity, in order to fend off something worse.

Old St. Peter’s on 22 Barclay St. adjacent to Ground Zero. The day before, Monday, the statue will be paraded around Ground Zero in a vintage 1958 Mack fire truck called “World Trade Center Number One” which was restored for the purpose of commemorating the Firemen and Policemen that heroically gave up their lives to save those trapped inside the towers. Several fire engines from New Jersey and New York and a large Police escort will accompany the motorcade. On 9/11 the day will start at 10am in Old St. Peters when the statue will be processed to the portico on Church Street overlooking Ground Zero. The Rosary will be recited, one mystery every hour, 11am Joyful, 12noon Luminous, 1pm Sorrowful, 2pm Glorious and then 3pm will be the Chaplet of Divine Mercy. The statue will then be carried by the fire truck to St. Patrick’s Cathedral at 460 Madison Ave arriving between 4 and 5pm, where it will be processed inside for further devotions.

The Franciscan Friars of the Immaculate will be on site With Fr. Peter Fehlner and an Air Maria camera crew. Unfortunately there is not a possibility of a live broadcast on this short of notice. Also in attendance will be Fr. Basil Cole, O.P., internationally recognized theologian and author and long time promoter of Our Lady of America. This will be the beginning of a series of Masses and devotions in various parishes through out the New York, New Jersey area over the next month, many of which will be officiated by the Franciscans of the Immaculate.

The spontaneity with which this event has come together, overcoming seemingly insurmountable obstacles, suggests that this is the will of Our Lady of America, that she take center stage.

Ave Maria!

    When can she come down and see us in South Florida, Palm Beach Diocese?

  • Lynn says:

    This is good news for all the world. There is no better place to exhibit Our Lady of America to the world than in the greatest city in the world (except for the National Shrine in Washington, D.C. or in Rome City, In where Our Lady of America first appeared).

    We will be praying along with the rest of the world from Rome City.

    BTW: there will be extended hours for the chapel in Rome City on the following anniversary dates…Sept 25, 26, 27. All are welcome to attend between 9am-9pm. Anyone needing info can call 260-854-3525.

  • Loretta says:

    WOW !! This is GREAT.!! Just Think ALL those Graces they Will ALL receive from Our Lady !!!! 🙂

  • Maria says:

    Reading this gave me hope for our future, my son was a volunteer at ground zero and suffering the after effects, it makes me know that Our Mother is watching over us as Jesus asked!

  • How wonderful that Our Lady of America will be at the momentous place of death and distruction that took place on our American soil, on 9/11! Our Lady is longing to bring our country back to its proud roots of Purity, Generosity and Faithfulness to her Son, Jesus Christ. May this be the launching pad for the Will of God to be accomplished through the Triumph Our Lady predicted at Fatima in 1917!

    This is so wonderful, the Blessed Mother should be honored here and especially at the National Shrine at Washington DC as this is where she asked to be honored.
    Living so close to Rome City, Indiana, we hope to take advantage of the times the chapel will be opened. The Rome City area is so beautiful, more people should try to visit.

  • Raven Wenner says:

    Once enthroned at the Basilica of the Immaculate Conception, Our Lady of America will swiftly reverse Roe v. Wade, and laws enabling euthanasia, gay marriage, and political correctness run amok; soon there will be good laws undoing the eroded values of our Constitution; intelligent laws against pornography and exploitation of the poor; our youth will grow up to be virtuous citizens, and our society will no longer worship hedonism and materialsim. Our Lady will arrange circumstances so that politicians will cease to be the puppets of unethical lobbyists for the insurance, pharmaceutical, and weaponry industries; and we will will no longer be forced into wars by our clueless elected leaders, which we seem so far to have richly deserved. In short, we wil become the Americans God intended us to be.

  • Franciscus Van Brussel says:

    Go on America, wake up Europ!!!

  • LCB says:

    What an incredible sign of hope, that Our Lady of America stands tall and faithful even amidst terrible destruction. We’re so blessed to have bishops like we have in St. Louis, New York, and New Jersey, who recognize the will of Our Lady and shepherd the flock towards purity and peace.

  • Connie Dooley says:

    I am so happy that Our Lady of America is being honored. We pray that she will bless us and give us the grace to follow the will of her Divine Son.

  • Rita Shay says:

    WHAT A GRACE. THANK YOU BLESSED MOTHER ! PLEASE, IF SOMEONE COULD PLEASE FILM THIS AND PUT IT ON YOUTUBE AND NOTIFY MICHAEL BROWN’S WEB SITE; SPIRITDAILY.COM SO WE CAN SEE THE CEREMONY. THIS NEEDS MORE EXPOSURE BECAUSE SO MANY PEOPLE STILL HAVE NOT HEARD OF OUR LADY OF AMERICAN AND HER MESSAGES. HOW I WISH I COULD BE THERE.

  • Regina Mary says:

    Praise be Father, Son and Holy Spirit. What wonderful news. I feel that abortion should have been mentioned before the war. Abortion is the GREAT evil. We will be praying along with everyone in New York.

  • Mark and Rosa says:

    God’s ways are perfect! Who better than our Mother to guide us out of darkness and lead us to her Son.
    My husband and I have followed her from when she first became public a few years back. My husband was in Alabama on business and decided to stop by Mother Angelica’s Monestary in Hanceville to look for Our Lady of America. She wasn’t there. Months later, we went back together for a conference and a big WOW to our surprise…Our Lady of America was there!!! She’s real and we need to pay attention! Thanks be to God. And God Bless our country!

  • Sue Maher says:

    Thank God, That the bishops and clergy are finally doing what Our
    Lady of America has been asking for , all these years, I hope she
    finally gets the devotion she deserves, and that the statue of Our
    Lady will be at the National Shrine in D.C. great news, bless the
    Bishops and all who accomplished this. God Bess America

  • Mrs. D. Gregorio says:

    A shrine of Our Lady of the Americas at the ground-zero-site is indeed most appropriate, for she is our Advocate,
    Co-redemptrix, and Mediatrix of all Graces–henceforth, anyone who believes in her and have confidence in her powerful intercession to her Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, can pray to her to grant our petitions , as she stand between heaven and earth, and save us from degeneration, disasters and wars. May God bless you in the fulfillment of this great mission for humanity’s sake, especially to all the souls to be saved in the United States of America. In Mary’s humble service. Mrs. Gregorio

  • Gloria says:

    Our Lady of America’s time has finally come!

    My family have regulars at the Friday evening rosary in Rome City and my cousin was actually healed of her crippling arthritis from the Good Friday well and the intercession of Our Lady.

    Everyone need sto know of the messages of Our Lady and work to emulate the Holy Family as we have been praying for. Then, the Bishops will have no way to deny Her.

    Until the statue is enthroned in the National Shrine, I suggest everyone do themselves a favor and come visit Our Lady where She first appeared. Join us all in “pounding the hill” and “Bring Her children!”

  • Christine says:

    Hail Mary Full of Grace our Lord is with you! Thank you for being with us during this important time of our Lord’s Grace. Amen.

  • Juliana says:

    May God bless the Americans who are waking up!
    May Canadians soon thaw out of their glacial frigidity and realize that they, too must stand up for their faith in God or suffer dire consequences.

  • Maureen says:

    I truly believe that once the Bishops in this Country accept Our Lady’s call to consecrate the USA and especially it’s youth to her purity under this title and process her statue into the Washington Basilica the chastisement of the Bishops will end.
    The accusations against the Church have been accusations of impurity. The graces needed to finally deliver the Church from it’s suffering, I believe, will only come after she is OFFICIALLY recognized under this title.

    The Blessed Mother has, I’m sure appeared in the USA.
    Please don’t continue to ignore her. It will only be at our own peril if we do.

  • Robin says:

    All glory and honor to our Lord Jesus Christ and His (and our) beautiful and immaculate Mother. Immaculate Conception, Our Lady of America, please intercede at the throne of your Son for the conversion of heart of all Americans so that we can live fully in the grace and will of Him who died for our sins. May your presence at ground zero be used by the Holy Spirit tomorrow to touch many hearts. God Bless America.

  • Kim Cunningham says:

    We rejoice at the canonical approval of Our Lady of America Now, even in New York, a place commemorating the most horrendous attack on our country, we find peace and hope in celebrating Our Lady of America as a sign of the future.

    So for those who cannot attend the NEw York festivities, I hope they can come to Rome City, Indiana where many of the apparitions took place. It is a holy place…… a place of peace, serenity and accumulated grace.

  • Kathie Brezette says:

    Praise God that Our Lady of America will be at Ground Zero! Many thanks to those who got her there. I pray at Sylvan Springs, Rome City prayer group. Recently, I drank the spring water that began flowing again last Good Friday, and was prayed over after mass. When I had my carotid artery xrayed 2 weeks later, the blockage which was present in an xray 3 months previously was no longer there. It is holy ground!

  • Marie W says:

    We live in a great time of mercy from our loving God! He continues to send His mother to us, to plead with us to turn our hearts away from sin and toward our Heavenly Father!! What are we waiting for?
    May this event tomorrow be a pinnacle for all to live more chastly, more purely, more like the Holy Family of Nazareth. Have mercy on us dear Mother, and hear the prayers of your children who love you.
    Marie Bernadette

  • Delores Dickinson says:

    My good friend and prayer partner recently introduced me to the devotion to Our Lady of America. I am praying the novena now. What a wonderful grace that she should come to ground zero. May the healing of our nation begin with this visit. Thank you, Immaculate Mother. Hear our prayers and plead with Our Lord to restore our beloved country.

  • Imelda says:

    Nobody can stop the power of god, nobody. He is supreme. That is why Our Lady of America ,against all the odds, is going to take her rightful place. God only has to lift his little finger for things like this to happen. We shouldn’t fear “Catholicism on decline” not with the power of God and our Lady, but we can’t become complacent either. We must pray and live by the churchs teachings. Sweet Jesus have mercy on us forgive us our sins lead all souls to heaven especailly those most need of your mercy. Imelda

  • Randy says:

    I have only become a believer in the power of the rosary and of Mary since this past January…but I know that she will shine down upon the great city of New York and protect it from further attacks. Two years previous to 9/11/01, Christina Gallagher stood that the foot of the world trade center. A marian visionary, our Blessed Mother mary had shown her that these mighty buildings would be gone soon. And so she said they would. And they were two years later. I spend a lot of time reading the various marian messages. They all give us the same messages…pray and fast. Pray and fast. From Medjugorje we were told that prayer can actually help to lessen some of the purification that is to pour out upon us all very soon. Prayer can even push this end time event abck in time so that our Lord’s grace continues to be extended. But we must pray so that these things can be acomplished. Prayers work miracles and we will need them in the near future. We need to stop the holocaust that goes on in this country in the form of abortion. It is what is going to bring the judgement down upon us all. Remember the march for life next january and travel to Washington DC to help get that message out. Pray, fast and lead others to the rosary. It is so powerful…so very powerful. May the Lord Bless us all and may we respond by bringing Him into the very center of our hearts…as does Mary.

  • Pam says:

    As a pilgrim to Rome City, Ind. where Our Lady appeared to Sr. Mildred and asked her to spread the devotion of Our Lady of America, thanks to all who have spread the messages and sent this glorious statue to NYC on this 9/11 anniversary.
    May Our Lady’s requests be heeded so that this statue will next be enthroned in Washington D.C. in the National Shrine of the Basilica of the Immaculate Conception. As she PLEADED the time is growing late!
    “By thy holy and Immaculate Conception, O Mary, deliver
    us from evil.???

  • Carol says:

    Reading this makes me feel wonderful. Imagine in New YOrk a procession for our Lady of America. I am very sure that our Lady will protect New YOrk and the rest of
    America from further terrorists attack. Our Mother Mary will never fail those who go to her and trust her for protection. I hope that this will be the beginning of the spread of the devotion to our Lady among New Yorkers and bring them all back to God’s fold. My prayers will be with you, speically that all obstacles will be surmounted so that the procession in honor of our Lady will push thru and be a huge success, all for God’s honor and greater glory!!

  • Lois says:

    May the Holy Spirit touch the hearts and souls of the bishops in the United States and Rome to approve Our Lady of America and enthrone her in the National Shrine of the Basilica of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C., as Mary has asked. God forgive this nation for its wholesale slaughter of the unborn. It is unbelievable that Catholics in the Congress of the United States not only support but promote this continuing holocaust and the increasing push for the spectre of embryonic stem cell research. May the Holy Spirit grant them conversion from their arrogance and pride in thinking they know better than God who should and should not be born and what their tiny lives should be used for.

  • Roberta F Foster says:

    I have never heard of Our Lady of America until I read Michael Brown’s Spirit Daily. Thank you Michael and how beautiful is the Statue of Our Lady of America!! How I wish I could be there at the procession in honoring those who lost their lives and the firemen who bravely tried to save those in the burning buildings. May this procession of Our Lady of America and the rosary bring back sanity to our beloved America, to rid all the immoralities that is going on now, bring back purity! bring back love! but most of all bring GOD back to America! GOD BLESS AMERICA!

  • Emma says:

  • bela abellanosa says:

    PRAISE BE GOD THE FATHER, JESUS CHRIST, THE HOLY SPIRIT AND THE BLESSED MOTHER. AT LONG LAST PEOPLE ARE STARTING TO WAKE UP FROM THEIR SLUMBER , WE TRULLY NEED THE BLESSED MOTHER TO GET US BACK ON THE RIGHT TRACK. I THOUGHT I WILL NEVER SEE THE DAY THAT FINALLY AMERICA WILL WAKE UP AND ONCE BE THE LEADER THAT WE WERE TRULY CALLED FOR. LET US STAND UP FOR PURITY AS THE BLESSED MOTHER REQUESTED AND NEVER STOPPED PRAYING THE ROSARY WHICH OUR WEAPON.

  • Sr Catherine says:

    I read about ‘OUR LADY OF AMERICA’ last year, before that, I have never heard of her…….Since then, I have her medal and I have been doing all I can to spread her devotion..I pray every night that our Bishops and the Vatican will approve ‘Our Lady of America”…….She will then be able to protect us…..I have been bringing prayer cards of ‘Our Lady of America’ to all the churches in my area…..Please do the same…it is very important…the prayer cards are free….just log on to http://www.OurLadyofAmerica.com please bring them to your schools, your churches, to your family members…….Thank you so much……..

  • THERESA says:

    please pray all the Bishops and the Vatican approve ‘OUR LADY OF AMERICA’

  • Elaine Terreri says:

    This is such wonderful news that Our Lady of America is honored in NY and especially at Ground Zero. Let us all pray that Our Lady of America will be honored and processed throughout America much like the Pilgrim Statue of Our Lady of Fatima. I am sure once this is accomplished and many people know of her messages that Our Lady of America will be in her rightful place enshrined in the National Shrine in Washington, DC. I pray that the Pilgrim Statue of Our Lady of America will come to Pittsburgh and continue her journey throughout America. Let all those who can make a Holy Hour of Adoration for this intention. This gives us hope that there is still time for God’s mercy and healing of our country. Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary pray for us who have recourse to thee!

  • greg says:

    Dear Blessed Mother: We both know that i have been a sinner for most of my life, and that i am struggling here on my way to holiness that you ask of us all. i remember when i was small and saw some of the love, and purity that Americans showed through T.V. shows, news stories ect. i remember my ma crying at bad news she saw on T.V. in the 60’s. My ma who was an American all her life helped me see the hope and love that America was blessed with so many years ago. i pray my Mother that the Bishops will enshrine your likeness in D.C. as You have requested. i pray that Americans find their way back to purity as i know still is Your urgent request of many years past now. The love and hope that my ma, and America instilled in me at a young age i know is a big part of my turning back to You my Mother. Please help Americans return to purity, and be a light for the world as we sure can need the help. With Love ….your small child

    PS : To all who read this. God bless America with Love from your Canadian neibour

    May Our Lady of America guide us to purity so that we can please God and know peace.

    Ave Maria!

  • Cathy Honan says:

    Husband Larry and I pray the PRAYER TO THE INDWELLING MOST HOLY SPIRIT that Our Lady of America gave to Sr. Mildred. We had read about O.L. of A. on Michael Brown’s site since he first began writing about them. We decided to go to Rome City, IN., to visit the convent bldg. at Sylvan Springs where Sr. Mildred received the apparitions. We believed the messages and stories on Michael’s site were true. A friend picked the date to go with us – he had children in school and we are retired. When we arrived at the convent bldg and talked to the now owner, was the first that we learned that America had been attacked that day – we hadn’t listened to radio at all that morning. We stayed and prayed the rosary and Chaplet of Divine Mercy and also prayers that Larry Young had given us when he showed us around the convent. Then we started home still praying and also agreeing that, as she has said, we were led to holy ground in time of danger. I was also healed of TMJ while on the Hill that day. Let’s all do all we can to promote the Bishops’ acceptance of Our Lady of America!

  • Theresa K says:

    I have been praying for OLOA for over 8 years now. I was so happy when a good Catholic family reclaimed this property in Rome City and has responded so faithfully to Our Lady’s request. It was through their connections that the men running OLOA now even came to know of OLOA in the first place and this wonderful momentum began. I visit this beautiful place several times per week to pray and I can tell you this family needs our help to continue safeguarding this Holy Ground for Our Lady’s work.

    I got up early this morning to stop by Rome City on my way to work in Goshen, IN. I felt I needed to start my day with a rosary on Holy Family Hill.

    When I got there, the lot was empty and i went to the hill after getting a drink of cool water from the Good Friday well. When I reached the hill, I was greeted by a swarm of butterflies in orange and black, but one strikingly blue butterfly set down on the shoulder of St. Joseph. I prayed the rosary and when I finished, I noticed the sun was spinning rather dramatically. I could really feel Our lady’s presence, and that of the Holy Spirit, all around me.

    I think this is a special day and I look forward to the anniversary dates of Sept 25-27 when Our Lady of America first appeared here in the chapel at Rome City. She is still here and I hope I see more of you people here this month joining me in prayer for our Bishops and our country. Please do waht you can and remain informed by reading ourladyofamerica.co and oltiv.org

  • Mark says:

    We so need this! Why wouldn’t the rector at the National Shrine of the Imacualte Conception be a leader in this? Pray that this comes about. We should be looking forward to the completion of this.

  • Kathy says:

    OUR LADY OF AMERICA TAKE OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • martharoy says:

AND AT THE HOUR OF OUR DEATH Amen

  • Elaine says:

    This is for Mark, who asked why the rector at the Shrine hasn’t done anything about placing Our Lady’s statue in the Shrine.
    I emailed and asked the rector that very question and he was gracious to answer, said the Church has to ok (Pope and Bishops) this before anything can be done.

  • emily says:

    Thank God, that finally our Catholic faith is displaying a likeness of the Mother Of Jesus. America needs the Blessed Mother. Mary will protect Our Country and bless this Great Nation, if we acknowledge Her, and put ourselves under Her care. Who is closer to God, but His mother, who better to turn to at this most critical time in history. Our Lady of the Americas bless and protect us, love, lead and defend us now and always. Amen

  • Ricky says:

    How wonderful that amidst our grieving and sadness, our Lady of America appears on the horizon ! This is a beautiful manifestation of the love of God for us ! I hope we get to view this commerative ceremony. Also what a beautiful statue of Our Lady. The message of purity comes out strong when you look at this beautiful image of her. Thank-you, so much…….
