Pope Francis will consecrate Russia and Ukraine to the Immaculate Heart of Mary this Friday, the Vatican said. The consecration will take place during the Celebration of Penance in St. Peter's Basilica.
The biblical Mary is an amazing woman, and a beautiful picture of submission to the will of the Lord Jesus Christ who created her. Yes, that's right, I said Jesus Christ created Mary, John 1:3 (KJB), before placing Himself in her womb to be born as a man. The biblical Mary was a sinner who need the Saviour just like you and I do, Luke 1:47 (KJB), her heart was 'desperately wicked" just like your heart and my heart was before we got saved. Mary in her lifetime performed no miracles, John 2:5 (KJB), never presided over anything in the book of the Acts of the Apostles, and never answered anyone's prayers. In fact, the biblical Mary had 6 other children as we read in Mark 6:3 (KJB). Now let's meet the "other Mary", that Pope Francis is consecrating Russia and Ukraine to on Friday.
"The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger." Jeremiah 7:18 (KJB)
The Bible calls the "other Mary" the queen of heaven, and she is a queen just like Jezebel in Revelation 17 is a queen. The queen of heaven is someone who usurps the authority of Jesus Christ by setting herself up as the 'gateway to salvation'. This other Mary is the one who is worshipped by the Roman Catholic Church, the one whom the Vatican declared to be sinless in 1854. On Friday, Pope Francis will pray to his god and ask that Ukraine and Russia be placed under the spell of the queen of heaven, and the way things are going, I am thinking that the Devil will answer that prayer.
For the first 30 years of my life, I was a baby-baptized, scapular-wearing and confirmed Roman Catholic, trained for a dozen years in the finest Jesuit and Franciscan schools in New Jersey. Then I got amazingly saved by hearing, believing and receiving the gospel of the grace of God by reading John 3:16 in an old black-backed, red-edged, King James Bible from the Gideons. If you are a Roman Catholic reading this right now, I invite you to throw away your idols like the 'immaculate scared heart of Mary', and receive Jesus Christ directly as God's free gift to you.

Pope Francis to consecrate Russia, Ukraine to Immaculate Heart of Mary
FROM THE JERUSALEM POST: “The same act, on the same day, will be performed in Fatima by Cardinal Konrad Krajewski, papal almoner,” the director of the Holy See Press Office, Matteo Bruni, said in a statement. Krajewski is being sent there by the pope. He was in Ukraine last week at the request of the pope to show concern for its citizens. The papal almoner performs works of mercy on behalf of the pope. A nation that is consecrated is set aside for a holy reason. The word “entrustment” will often be used synonymously with the word consecration.
Consecration to Mary is defined by the Vatican’s Congregation for Divine Worship as recognizing the “singular role of Mary in the Mystery of Christ and of the Church, of the universal and exemplary importance of her witness to the Gospel, or trust in her intercession and of the efficacy of her patronage.” The bishops of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine had asked the pope to consecrate Ukraine and Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary last month in a letter.
“In these hours of immeasurable pain and terrible ordeal for our people, we, the bishops of the Episcopal Conference of Ukraine, are spokesmen for the unceasing and heartfelt prayer, supported by our priests and consecrated persons, which comes to us from all Christian people to dedicate Your Holiness our Motherland and Russia,” the letter reads.
“Responding to this prayer, we humbly ask Your Holiness to publicly perform the act of consecration to the Sacred Immaculate Heart of Mary of Ukraine and Russia, as requested by the Blessed Virgin in Fatima.”
A press release on the Vatican website explained that in 1917 in the central Portuguese town of Fatima, “Our Lady [the Virgin Mary, mother of Jesus] had asked for the consecration of Russia to Her Immaculate Heart, stating that if this request were not granted, Russia would spread ‘its errors throughout the world, promoting wars and persecution of the Church.’”
The Fatima apparitions of 1917 are some of the most famous Marian apparitions of the Catholic Church. Three secrets were revealed by Mary through the appearances. The second secret was that World War I would end, but that another world war would begin during Pius XI’s reign if people continued to offend God and Russia wasn’t consecrated to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. There have been additional consecrations to the Immaculate Heart of Mary since 1917. Pope St. John Paul II consecrated the entire Church and world to Mary three times during his pontificate.
