World-wide   Marian  Mission





        The World-wide Marian Mission is a work of great breath. We could say that this mission, to live “in Mary” to fully live “in Christ”, is the deepest vocation in the Church, while it has been calling to realize the Kingdom of  Jesus Christ on the earth..

        In that way, you should not be considered it “a novelty", but an everything one with its “good news”, the Gospel , that is Jesus Christ, only savior of the men , only divine novelty for everybody.

        When, however, this "endless novelty" becames also “method” and ”privileged way” to reach Jesus, then we call it again ....”novelty”, because unfortunately many people don't know it as really is. So,if  practical methods of a more intimate approach and involvement are realized, then the“way” of Mary to Jesus becomes brighter and  bearer of  grace, more abundant for everybody: for all of us, for the Church and even for the world.


        World-wide Marian Mission, in the amplest sense, is the divine mission thought and wanted by the Holy Trinity in

Mary's respects, in relationship both to the creation that to the redemption, through the incarnation of the Verb, Jesus, her divine Son. It's the Mission that God has given to Mary.
        Whoever enters in this ”marian”plan of God, is more near to Jesus Chist and, therefore, to the Kingdom of God. Some people live this vocation and this prophesy in more alive way. These people are kept to valorize their particular marian grace and to communicate it to others as a bright charism. 
        All those people who have received this “marian” gift  must not only share it but also must find together themselves, always looking for a greater coordination of preyer, informations and initiatives.
        This coordination is the World-wide Marian Mission, to wich - the single ones and the istitutions - can and must partecipate. The coordination doesen't need particular“connections” ; it's however, a deep agreement  of love to Mary, so  all of this that can let Her known and more loved,is immediately shared, diffused, proposed, so that Her cames anywhere, bringing Jesus, The God. This is for us the World-wide Marian Mission !


        Inside the ample World-wide Marian Mission, is proposed and lived a lot of various initiatives. 
        We particulary, proposeWorld-wide Marian Mission, as initiative of promotion of Mary's Spirit because every Christians and all the Church identify themselves with Her life and Her Immaculate Heart.   
        To get this ”accelleration” in “marian” holiness, with the only principal purpose to promote the Kingdom of Jesus in the souls, we insist more and more for one deeper consecration - of the single ones and of the collectivities - to the Immaculate Heart of Mary
        This is its divine mission: Marian Mission  in the souls and in the world.

 
        In relationship to us, this work becomes marian “missionariety" ,that is vocation, explicit call,  to announce Her as first missionary of Jesus Christ..

        Some privileged ones,that more felt  that marian missionariety, have to favor it and to promote both in themselves and in the others, letting themselves conduct from particular inspirations of the Holy Spirit, that wants “to form” Mary in the hearts, because were "formed" perfectly in them, Jesus.  
        Endless are the streets of the Holy Spirit to bring Jesus; only is the best way (cfr Cc 6,9): the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

     The work of the 

 

World-wide    M a r i a n    M ission 

 

is great.

        Nevertheless in its graduality of realization ,we propose to flourish  the “Marian Mission” to all the levels. In more specific way,then, we propose a passionate World-wide Marian Mission  sustained by all the Franciscan Friars of the world, following a first model, already lived in 35 nations (then in preparation to the 2000 Great Jubilee! with the World-wide “Peregrinatio Mariae”.
        To this purpose it was already prepared from us a book as a practical manual by the title :
                                                        

    “The true secret of Fatima”

         

        In it, it was affirmed that the true secret  of  high Christian spirituality, thin to identify in Mary,  it's to devote to Mary.
        Various synthetic catecheses and schemes of  marian day are insert in the various pages of the book to permit that the work of Mary establishes in all the heart.
        This method practically, includes always, every day and for every category of  persons, an act of consacration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. The marian method followed in every nation and every people where Mary has come with her  World-wide“Peregrinatio Mariae” ( March 8th 1998 - Christmas 1999).
        We can say that, effecting and living the consecration to Mary, from Herself asked in Fatima,the triumph in the hearts of the Immaculate Heart of Mary is realized.  
        We introduce you the frontispiece of the book  “The true secret of Fatima” :
