Our Lady of America Request to be Enthroned in National Shrine

The Blessed Virgin Mary wishes to be honored in the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception at Washington D.C. as Our Lady of America. Our Lady says that if this is done, the United States of America would turn back toward morality and the shrine would become a place of "wonders."

"I am Our Lady of America, The Immaculate Virgin" said The Blessed Virgin. "I desire that my children honor me, especially by the purity of their lives."

"Tell the bishops of the United States, my loyal sons, of my desires and how I wish them to be carried out," The Blessed Virgin Mary told Sister Mary Ephrem, who saw Her with a white veil reaching almost to Her waist and a mantle and robe of pure white with no decoration. An oblong brooch or clasp held the ends of the mantle together at the top. It was all gold, as was the high and brilliant crown she wore. Her hair and eyes seemed medium brown. Her feet were bare, but not always visible, sometimes covered by the moving clouds on which she stood. Often she smiled and revealed a heart encircled by roses that sent forth flames of fire.

This special devotion to Our Lady under this specific title of Our Lady of America, was first approved by Archbishop Paul Leibold and has since been reconfirmed as being Canonically-approved by Archbishop Raymond Burke. We are awaiting the USCCB's approval for enthronement in the National Shrine as Our Lady requests.
