Covering the World with Her Mantle of Love

“Covering the World with Her Mantle of Love” is just what we have been praying incessantly to happen on this earth since July 1, 2026. That is the day that a “worldwide” movement united together in prayer using Christine Watkins “Mary’s Mantle Consecration” book and journal – a spiritual retreat for Heaven’s Help. Our main intention – to pray for “peace” in this world that we live in.

We are just one week away from our goal and finish line of August 15, 2026 – the Feast of the Blessed Virgin Mary’s Assumption to Heaven.

Each day we have been studying and meditating upon a virtue – 46 in total! It surely has been an “inward” journey! However, it will have an “outward” effect if we truly delved into the readings that were provided for us by Christine. The work was up to us, however, our Blessed Mother never abandons us when we are praying with the heart.

This is what this blog is about! In this last leg of the journey moving towards August 15th – the Blessed Mother sent in St. Faustina to companion us for the rest of the way.

Virtue

St. Faustina tells us this about virtue:

“Virtue without prudence is not virtue at all. We should often pray to the Holy Spirit for the grace of prudence. Prudence consists in discretion, rational reflection and courageous resolution. The final decision is always us to us.”

And so St. Faustina’s words of wisdom were just given to us for Star 36 – Prudence – just days ago. Shortly after this reading, I opened up to a passage in “Divine Mercy in My Soul.” It was “passage 1244” and dated August 15, 1937. It seemed Our Lady was reiterating in this passage what we have been reading for the last couple of weeks.

You are invited to enter into this passage, and understand that Our Lady’s words weren’t only for St. Faustina in 1937 but for us right now in 2026! Believe that! Let us pray with these words and act on them.

Covered With Her Mantle

“During meditation, God’s presence pervaded me keenly, and I was aware of the Virgin Mary’s joy at the moment of Her Assumption. Towards the end of the ceremony carried out in honor of the Mother of God, I saw the Virgin Mary, and She said to me,

“Oh, how very pleased I am with the homage of your love!”

And at that moment She covered all the sisters of our Congregation with Her mantle. With Her right hand, She clasped Mother General Michael to Herself and with Her left hand She did so to me, while all the sisters were at Her feet, covered with Her mantle.

Then the Mother of God said:

“Everyone who perseveres zealously till death in My Congregation will be spared the fire of purgatory, and I desire that each one distinguish herself by the following virtues:

humility and meekness

chastity and love of God and neighbor

compassion and mercy

After these words, the whole Congregation disappeared from my sight, and I remained alone with the Most Holy Mother who instructed me about the Will of God and how to apply it to my life submitting completely to His most holy decrees. It is impossible for one to please God without obeying His holy will.”

My Children

Our Blessed Mother continued Her words to St. Faustina – addressing St. Faustina as “Her daughter.”

Could we possibly read this passage as addressed to each one of us – this week – before we consecrate ourselves under Her Holy Mantle of Love?

“My daughter, I strongly recommend that you faithfully fulfill all God’s wishes, for that is most pleasing in His holy eyes. I very much desire that you distinguish yourself in this faithfulness in accomplishing God’s will.

Put the Will of God before all sacrifices and holocausts.”

While the heavenly Mother was talking to me, a deep understanding of this Will of God was entering my soul.”

Mantle of Love

This blog was truly written just to post this particular passage in Divine Mercy in My Soul – Diary of St. Faustina.

It’s a beautiful reading in the Diary and one that we can absorb into our hearts for August 15th. There’s a promise there from Our Blessed Mother but also an “action” on our part. Our actions never stay still but cause a “ripple effect.” Let us all be part of that “ripple” – a ripple of love that spreads Our Lady’s Mantle over all we meet.

What a promise from Our Blessed Mother to St. Faustina and her congregation – “who “perseveres zealously” will be spared the “fire of Purgatory!!!!”

Can you imagine!

Can we be zealous and show Our Mother the homage of our love?

“Zealous” means to be enthusiastic and eager!

Can we do that? Would that be a promise She would make to us?

Let us all pray for the “graces” to understand the Will of God in our lives asking for the help of St. Faustina. . .

The Saint of Divine Mercy and leave the rest to the Mother of God.
