Catholic Caucus: Lady of All Nations devotion

CLICK HEREfor the judgement of the Bishop of Haarlem on this apparition, messages and devotion.

From 1945 to 1959 a woman in Amsterdam, Ida Peerderman, received messages in which Mary states that she wants to be addressed " in these our times" as "The Lady Of All Nations."

On May 31, 1996, public veneration of the Mother of God under this title was officially authorized by the two bishops of Haarlem (NL). Our Lady also requested the official recognition of her vocation as "Coredemptix, Mediatrix and Advocate," promising that " The Lady of All Nations will then grant peace, true peace, to the world."

Mary appeared standing before her Son's Cross, to which she is so inseparably and painfully united and she gave the above prayer to the visionary. From Mary's open hands the three rays of "grace, redemption and peace" stream down upon all nations. These gifts emerge from the Cross of Christ, and she promises to grant them to everyone who says this prayer daily before a crucifix or this image.

the meaning of "who once was Mary." is explained by the Lady of All nations herself: "...many people have known Mary as Mary. Now however, in this new era, which is about to begin, I wish to be the Lady of All Nations. Everyone understands this." July 2, 1951

The Prayer of Amsterdam:

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the Father, send now Your Spirit over the earth. Let the Holy Spirit live in the hearts of all peoples, that they may be preserved from degeneration, disaster and war. And may the Lady of All Nations, who once was Mary, be our Advocate. Amen.

The Story of Amsterdam:

The messages of the Lady of All Nations began on March 25, 1945, just before the end of WWII. They were given to an unmarried woman, named Ida Peerdeman, who at the time was forty years old. At first, the woman did not know what to do with the messages, but it became clearer when the Lady declared that they were not for one nation or people alone but that they were for all peoples of the world. The messages continued to be received until 1959. During this time the woman received 56 apparitions.

The messages of the years 1945 - 1951 conceal a number of prophecies regarding the Church, the world and politics. The Eucharist holds a prominent place in the messages of the Lady of All Peoples. For it is through the Eucharist that the world, in the peril which threatens it, can be saved. The Eucharist will become such a dire necessity, such an indispensable means of salvation.

A summary of the Apparitions of Amsterdam:

The First Apparition, 25th of March, 1945

I see on my left somebody standing over me in a long white garment, full of womanly grace. I understand her to be the Blessed Virgin. She lifts up three, then four, and finally five fingers while saying to me, "The 3 stands for March, the 4 for April, and the 5 for may 5th." The she shows me her Rosary and says, "This has saved you. Persevere to tthe end (in saying it)." After a brief silence she adds, "The prayer is to be made known everywhere." Then in front of me I see nothing but soldiers, many of them Allies and the Blessed Virgin is pointing to them. She takes the crucifix of her Rosary in her hand and points at it and then again to the soldiers. I am given to understand that the Cross must become the support of the lives of those soldiers, for the voice continues, "They will soon go home now - these here" and she points to the troops.

I ask, "Are you Mary?"

She smiles and answers, :They will call me 'The Lady' 'Mother'." The figure walks past me and then I look at the palm of my hand. A cross is being laid down before me and I have to take it up. I do so very slowly; it is heavy. All at once everything is gone.

The Second Apparition, 21st of April, 1945

The Lady looks at me and moves a warning finger from side to side, saying, "Listen, mankind. You will preserve peace if you believe in Him. Make this known," she adds. This is repeated three times. While speaking, she puts a crucifix in my hand and I have to hold it up in all directions for everyone to see. The Lady points to the crucifix.

The Third Apparition, 29th of July, 1945

I hear the voice again and suddenly I see a sacrifice being offered as in ancient times. The smoke, however, hangs over the altar. I hear the coice say, "Yahweh warns His people." Then I hear, "Be faithful. They have scattered my lambs." Then the Lady plants a crucifix upon the sacrificial altar and I see, as it were, the whole world gathered around it. The people, however, are standing there with downcast looks and turned away from the cross. "Come, my faithful ones!" the voice now calls and I see a chalice being offered to the crowd. "But for a number of them in vain", I hear the voice say. I feel an impulse to look up and all at once I see the Lady standing before me. She smiles, extends her arms and calls invitingly, "Come." A large number of men of all sorts is now standing before me:"gentlemen", "rough men" and men dressed in bleck (priests and religious). Among then all there is a mixture of good and not so good. The Lady urges them to follow her, promising to guide them. Now I see a long and hard road before me, at the end of which there is a great light. "This way", says the Lady, and with an impressive gesture she indicates to the men that they have to walk along ihis road. The going is very difficult. On both sides men are falling away. The Lady watches with motherly solicitude and keeps smiling at them compassionately. The I see written before me, "Be renewed in Jesus Christ." After this the Lady looks sad and says, "England will find her way back to me." She pauses and then adds very slowly and quietly, "So will America." Then the Lady disappears and I see a peculiar cloud hanging over the world.
