The Lady of All Nations.

Our Lady of All Nations - Amsterdam.

Explanation of the Image:

The messages of Amsterdam are unique in the history of Marian apparitions because Our Lady gives detailed descriptions of her image in six messages. Mary appears here as the COREDEMPTRIX in three ways:
• She stands, penetrated by God’s light, before the Cross of her Son, with whom she is inseparably united.
• She has a cloth wrapped around her, about which she explains, “Listen carefully to what this means. This is as the Loincloth of the Son. For I stand as the Lady before the Cross of the Son” (April 15, 1951).

• Her hands have radiant Wounds. Thereby Mary describes in an

image the suffering of body and soul which she bore in union with her divine Son for the redemption of mankind.Again the Lady directs Ida’s look to her hands and thereby reveals to her that she is MEDIATRIX OF ALL GRACE: “Now look at my hands and describe what you see.” Now it is as if there, in the middle of her hands, had been a wound. From there, from each hand, three rays of light are coming forth, shining upon the sheep. The Lady smiles and says, “These are three rays, the rays of Grace, Redemption and Peace” (May 31, 1951). Grace from the Father, Redemption from the Son, and Peace from the Holy Spirit.

“I have firmly placed my feet upon the globe, for in this time the Father and the Son wants to bring me into this world as Coredemptrix, Mediatrix and Advocate” (May 31, 1951). “This time is our time” (July 2, 1951).
In a biblical representation, Mary shows the visionary sheep around the globe which symbolize all the nations and races of the earth. Then she says that they will not find true rest “until they lie down and in tranquility look up at the Cross, the center of this world” (May 31, 1951).
Again and again, Mary directs our look to the Cross, the center of the world. Mary asks us therefore to spread this image throughout the world because “It is the interpretation and illustration of the new dogma” (December 8, 1952). For this reason, Mary emphasizes several times that this image must precede the dogma. “This image will precede ... will precede a dogma, a new dogma” (April 15, 1951).

Notes...

What I love about this vision of our Mother, is that it's completely Scrriptural. Mary doesn't make herself the center - but her Son - Jesus Christ.

Isn't that amazing? She's so humble. This vision, and picture, means a ot to me.

Hail Mary!

God bless!
