Cardinal Jaime Sin, head of the Archdiocese in Manila, Philippines, was given a very special, surprise gift on his 50th Anniversary, by a Philippino Family, of our 51 inch by 63 inch museum quality, canvas, giclée, lifelike Icon of Our Lady Mediatrix of All Graces.

This exquisite, very large Icon was sent in our replica Italian Renaissance gold leaf frame, and was given to him during his 50th Anniversary Solemn High Mass during the Presentation of the Gifts at the Offertory in The National Cathedral in Manila.

This most exquisite Icon and frame was also a very wonderful surprise to all 2,000 invited guests as it was slowly carried down the long central aisle of The National Cathedral in front of all 225 Philippine Bishops, the President of the Philippines, all of the Philippine Members of Congress, Senate, Legislative and Judicial Branches. The magnificent gift of the Icon of Our Lady Mediatrix of All Graces® was shown on national television throughout the Philippines.

The President of the Philippines, Gloria Arroyo, and all 225 Bishops were also given smaller Icons of Our Lady Mediatrix of All Graces. (See photos of the very large gift Icon given to the Cardinal at that Mass.)

On the Feast of “The Annunciation”, March 25, 2001, the Original Icon of Our Lady Mediatrix of All Graces and our four original, Marian Dogma Icons: “Mother of God”, “Perpetual Virginity”, “Immaculate Conception” and “The Assumption”, were all blessed in “the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception” in Washington D.C. at the altar, at Holy Mass, for Cardinal McCarrick by his Monsignor secretary, in the morning.

That evening, all 6 Original Icons were blessed in Freeland Pennsylvania, by Monsignor Puhak in the Byzantine rite in the oldest Byzantine Catholic Church in America, Saint Mary’s.

In late September 2001, the Original Icon Our Lady Mediatrix of All Graces was blessed at the altars at Holy Mass in the National Basilica of Saint Ann, in Scranton PA by the rector with 1000 people in attendance (this was also televised to shut ins).

It was also blessed in Sacred Heart Basilica in Syracuse NY with 700 people in attendance. The founder and director of Mary’s Way was honored to be invited to give a talk about the Icon. After which the Monsignor said to the 700 people, “don’t ever complain about my long sermons!” The 4^th degree color guard of the Knights of Columbus processed in with the Icon in both of these Basilicas.

MEDIATRIX (PART 15)

On “The Blessed Virgin Mary’s Birthday” in 1999, Cardinal John O’ Connor, head of the New York Archdiocese, blessed and signed the back of the original icon of Our Lady Mediatrix of All Graces® and offered his Imprimatur for our two Mary Mediatrix Prayers on our Prayer Cards for worldwide distribution. Cardinal O’Connor was given a very large gift Icon of Our Lady Mediatrix of All Graces® for his New York Archdiocesan office.

Later, at the request of the Cardinal’s staff, the Original Icon of Our Lady Mediatrix of All Graces® stayed overnight in Cardinal O’Connor’s bedroom where “Our Lady Mediatrix” gave consolation to him, in his final stage of brain cancer. The Funeral Mass for Cardinal O’Connor in Saint Patrick’s Cathedral was very tellingly, on “The Feast Day of Our Lady Mediatrix of All Graces”. Also, the two Prayers to Our Lady Mediatrix of All Graces that Cardinal O’Connor approved on the Mediatrix Prayer Cards end with “Pray for me each day, Dearest Mother. And hold me close in your most loving arms, at the hour of my death, Amen.” – which we are sure, Our Lady Mediatrix did for Cardinal O’Connor, and will do for everyone who prays to her.

Pope Benedict XIV, in another Encyclical proclaimed: “Mary is like a heavenly stream on whose waves all graces and gifts for us unhappy mortals are born.” As explicitly depicted in the Sacred Miraculous Icon of Our Lady Mediatrix of All Graces® and especially in our Mary’s Waves of Graces Picture Frame© – which is also an Icon! (From Pope Benedict XIV’s 1748 Apostolic Letter, Gloriosae Dominae Genetricis Mariae.)

Our Lady Mediatrix of All Graces® has been a Doctrine of the Catholic Church for hundreds of years. This Doctrine is summarized here and in the previous posts from among thousands of Official Declarations about Mary’s vitally important role as Mediatrix of All Graces as stated: BY 10 OF THE 27 POPES who have defined Mary as The Mediatrix, BY THE BIBLE WHICH IMPLIED IT 5 TIMES, BY 10 FATHERS AND DOCTORS OF THE CHURCH, 30 SAINTS, THE SECOND VATICAN COUNCIL, etc. (Please see previous posts on Our Lady Mediatrix of All God’s Graces for more quotes)

Mediatrix (part 13)

This unique Sacred Icon is linked to “Our Lady of Fatima” and to “Our Lady of Medjugorje.” Its vital purpose was foretold on the feast day of “Our Lady of Fatima” which is: through Mary’s Most Powerful Role as Mediatrix of All Graces– Mary gives us vast outpourings of All of God’s Graces, and Protection against every type of evil!

On October 7th., “The Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary” the Icon’s vital, two-part purpose was foretold in a profound second dream which was: whoever venerates Mary through her Most Powerful Role as “Mediatrix of all Graces” will receive vast outpourings of all of God’s graces, and also will receive protection against every evil.

Without arranging any of these following 13 dates: on the Feast Day “The Motherhood of the Blessed Virgin Mary”, “Mary’s Way to Jesus Apostolate” was established. Two days later, on October 13th, 1996 on “The Anniversary of The Great Miracle of the Sun in Fatima” and allegedly through “Our Lady of The Rosary”/”Our Lady of Fatima”, one of the world’s finest artists: mystic, and world renowned Marian Visionary Josyp Terelya from the Ukraine offered to paint this Icon exclusively for Francis Slinsky, the Founder and Director of Mary’s Way Worldwide Apostolate – most surprisingly, during a Saint Louis de Montfort Religious Conference. The Icon was commissioned by Francis Slinsky.

This very inspired artist said: “I will paint the Icon for you, if you allow me to paint this Icon with ‘the true, real face of Mary’” that he saw when he was miraculously saved by Mary from certain death, and six other times! On the 13th of November, through inspiration, instructions were given by Francis: to name the Icon “Our Lady Mediatrix of All Graces”, and to paint this principal title around Mary’s head in the universal language of the Church – Latin “DOMINA NOSTRA MEDIATRIX OMNIUM GRATIARUM” – for worldwide distribution and worldwide understanding.

Pope Leo XIII teaches us that not only do all graces come through Mary – in her very powerful role of Mediatrix of All Graces, but that we go to Jesus through Mary: “It may be said that of the great treasury of all graces given us by our Lord, nothing comes to us except through Mary’s Mediation, for such is God’s will. Thus, as no man goes to the Father but by the Son, so no one goes to Christ except through His Mother.” (From Pope Leo XIII’s Encyclical Octobri Mense On the Rosary, Sept. 22

On May 14, 1999 Saint John Paul the Great specially blessed the original Sacred Icon of Our Lady Mediatrix of All Graces with Mary’s very powerful role as “Our Lady Mediatrix of All of God’s Graces”! This historic private audience was in the Pope’s personal office and library in the Vatican.

After the Pope’s discussion about this Sacred Icon, he pointed out details in the Icon! The Pope then said: “…bring the Icon to my chapel in my residence, and place the Icon next to the Altar for the Papal Mass” and for prayers before “Our Lady Mediatrix of All Graces Icon”! This Papal Mass was concelebrated with 26 Archbishops and Bishops!

The Pope very gratefully received: 3 large Icons of “Our Lady Mediatrix of All Graces” (One of which is shown in the above photograph) , “Our Lady Mediatrix Icon Book”, our “Mary Mediatrix Prayer Cards”, and our exquisite “Icon Medal” of “Our Lady Mediatrix of All Graces” for his use! His Holiness, Pope John Paul II showed his appreciation for his “Mary Mediatrix” gifts, and for this meeting, by giving a “Custom-made Papal Rosary” with his “Papal Crucifix” and his “Papal coat-of-arms” on it and also on a maroon leather-bound, white satin lined, “Papal Rosary Case” with his Papal coat-of-arms inside!

Two days later, on May 16, 1999 the Sacred, original “Mary Mediatrix of All Graces” Icon was placed on the right rear side of Pope John Paul II’s temporary outdoor Altar at the top of the steps, directly in front of Saint Peter’s Basilica, for the outdoor Sunday Papal Mass with over 300,000 people in attendance in Saint Peter’s Square.

On May 13, 1999, The Original Icon of “Our Lady Mediatrix of All Graces” was at the Altar during Holy Mass in Saint Mary Major Papal Basilica in Rome, on The Feast Day of Our Lady of Fatima. This Papal Basilica is the first, the largest and the most important Basilica to Mary in the world! Also, it is one of only four Papal Basilicas in the world.

On May 13, of that same year, the Sacred Mary Mediatrix Icon was greatly honored to be in the second largest church in the world, “Saint Paul Outside the Walls Papal Basilica” in front of the Tomb of Saint Paul the Apostle at the immense main Altar, at a special Mass, concelebrated by 24 Archbishops and Bishops!

His Eminence Alphonse Cardinal Stickler, Curia, Librarian and Archivist Emeritus of the entire Holy Roman Catholic Church, concelebrated a solemn High Mass on the “Feast of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary” May 31, 1997. The Original Miraculous Icon®, Our Lady Mediatrix of All Graces® was placed against the altar and blessed twice in the presence of the concelebrating Bishops, Archbishops, Priests, Monsignors and Cardinals. In the first blessing shown above the Archbishops are seated.

On the “Feast Day of the Annunciation” March 25, 1997, the Original Icon of “Our Lady Mediatrix of All Graces” was most powerfully and most solemnly blessed at the altar at Mass in the Eastern Roman Catholic Byzantine Rite by Reverend Konstantine Brown in Saint Mary’s of the Assumption Byzantine Catholic Church in Trenton, New Jersey. This was the very first blessing of the Original Miraculous Icon, Our Lady Mediatrix of All Graces.

This most powerful, most solemn “All Healing and an All Evil Dispelling Blessing” Prayer has since then been used on all of our Icons and religious articles.

The Sacred Icon or Our Lady Mediatrix of All Graces® of Child Jesus and Mary went “mysteriously missing for 3 days” in Rome from May 28 to May 31, 1997 while on a pilgrimage to a religious conference! This parallels the event in the Bible, where Child Jesus went “mysteriously missing for 3 days” on a pilgrimage and a religious conference!

The Miraculous Icon® was found 3 days later through much prayer and through the help of the Italian Government’s Minister of Art, the International President of Vox Populi Mariae Mediatrici, Dr. Mark Miravalle, Archbishops and Bishops and members of the International Catholic movement “Voice of the People for Mary Mediatrix”!

On the solemn “Feast Day of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary” May 31, 1997, the Icon’s very first blessing in the Roman Catholic Church was by his Eminence Alphonse Cardinal Stickler the Librarian and Archivist of the entire Holy Roman Catholic Church in Rome, Italy. This was occurred during a solemn High Mass concelebrated with Cardinal Martinez, from Puerta Rico, together with 13 Archbishops, 42 Bishops, and 25 Priests – 80 prelates on the Altar from 40 different countries from around the world!

The Blessed Virgin Mary specially arranged and designed that The Original Mary Mediatrix of All Graces Icon was blessed in “The Church of the House of Mary” on May 31, 1997, the Feast of “The Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary”.
