"Say the Rosary every day...Pray, pray a lot and offer sacrifices for sinners...
I'm Our Lady of the Rosary "...Our Lady at Fatima 1917
We should say "re-consecration," since this great nation has been consecrated since its very start.
At Critical Time In Nation's History Comes New Consecration And Alleged Message

This weekend, November 11, at noon EST, the papal nuncio to the U.S., Archbishop Pietro Sambi, will be officiating a Mass for the renewal of the country’s consecration to Our Lady as the Immaculate Conception (at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington).
We should say "re-consecration," since this great nation has been consecrated since its very start.
Although few know it, Columbus and his crew sang the Salve Regina on the way over from Europe and there was a Mass here -- in fact, a thanksgiving Mass -- long before Plymouth Rock (in St. Augustine).
It is time for us to realize this and at this late hour extend it urgently.
Most Reverend John Carroll, of Baltimore, America's first Roman Catholic bishop, consecrated the newly-created nation under the protection of the Blessed Virgin Mary with the title of the Immaculate Conception in 1792 and decades later Pope Pius IX formalized Carroll's acclamation -- proclaiming the Immaculate Conception as the patroness of the United States in 1847.
On May 13, 1846, the bishops unanimously chose Mary, under the title of Immaculate Conception, as the patroness of the U.S.
Such was reaffirmed in 1959 when the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception was dedicated in Washington -- where so much prayer is now necessary.
These consecrations are not just symbols, and the timing is no coincidence.
It was following the consecration of the world to Mary by the great John Paul II that Communism fell so suddenly in Europe, and as the World Apostolate of Fatima (which is largely coordinating the re-consecration) points out, when the bubonic plague was rampant in Marseille, France, during the 1720s, the Archbishop consecrated that city to the Sacred Heart to end the plague and it did without any apparent medical remedy.
These are not rituals. They are actions. Heaven awaits them.
The Armistice ending World War I was signed after a consecration by the Primate of England on November 11, 1918 -- the same day which the papal nuncio has now chosen to officiate the Mass for the U.S.
Meanwhile Portugal was Consecrated to the Immaculate Heart of Mary before World War II and was protected from that conflict.
Now, in our time, is the threat of war and terrorism -- as well as natural events. Let us all join in on this consecration.
Love and Peace,
