My Immaculate Heart will Triumph.  So often that has been the case throughout history.  In the battle of Lepanto, or the Siege of Vienna, or at, Częstochowa it was when it looked like everything was hopeless that victory came through Our Lady.  We may well ask why God acts like this.  He does it so that we may fully realise that it is His will for us to draw near to Our Lady.  God has given Mother Mary a special role to be our mother in the order of Grace.  It was She who gave birth to our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, and God continues to honour his covenant with Mary: Jesus comes fully into a heart that is one with Mary.   

So often Our Lady has asked for processions.  She does not do this because She is in need of special honour!   She asks for this so that we may open our hearts to Her and receive all the graces God wants to give.  But how God has confirmed his pleasure regarding processions. So often cities and even nations, even Christendom, have been delivered by simply honouring Our Lady  in a public manner.

That is why it is so important for all of us to come together to honour Our Lady at the Walk With Mary.  This is our one opportunity throughout the entire year to publicly acclaim Her as Our Mother.  How God will surely bless each and every one of us who come and honour her in this unique way, as there will be a street procession following Holy Mass.  We are delighted that the Melbourne Archdiocese has appointed Bishop Rene Ramirez as its representative for this beautiful occasion.
