"It is urgent now. The world is facing a grave cataclysm beyond known proportion due to the impiety and impurity. I have come to rescue the world from this fate.”
1987. The Virgin Mary and the Christ Child appear to a young American mother in a series of visions. The year of Mary is about to be declared by St Pope John Paul II and the Cold War is reaching its zenith. Our Blessed Mother announces the advent of a new order of holy mothers that will spread throughout the world and help to usher in the Triumph of her Immaculate Heart.
“I will be the model for these women in their daily lives, and they will imitate my virtues. This is necessary to combat the tide of evil which has swept across families and destroyed so many homes."
-The Apostolate of Holy Motherhood
a religious order for mothers
“An apostolate of motherhood will grow out of these writings, which will be an apostolate of prayer and duty in the home done in accord with the will of God and for the love of God. This also will be an aid in my Triumph.”
-The Blessed Mother to Mariamante, The Apostolate of Holy Motherhood
“You will know by the sign in the heavens which is I myself that the time is at hand for the instantaneous conversion of the multitude. This I will accomplish through a tremendous outpouring of grace upon the earth given at the hands of God to me for this purpose. This will be the Triumph of my Immaculate Heart of which I spoke at Fatima.
“You must do all that I tell you now. It is very important that you follow my instructions, as this will be an aid to many in softening their hearts in order to be receptive to such grace.”

The Book:
In February 1987 a mother of three young children began to see Visions of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the Lord Jesus. The Blessed Mother called for “evangelical purity” among women and announced the creation of a new movement of mothers tailored for this age: “the Apostolate of Holy Motherhood in Catholic Families”. Holy Mary promised that this apostolate would spread throughout the world and that the holiness of these women would help usher in the Triumph of her Immaculate Heart.
For 6 months our Lady and our Lord spoke to the young mother, instructing her to write the messages down verbatim as they delivered them. They promised her anonymity so that she could fulfill her duties as a wife, mother, and homemaker in quietness and peace in keeping with the teaching of the Apostolate.
We only know this mystic by the name “Mariamante”, which in Latin means “Lover of Mary.” The visions were delivered under holy obedience to Mariamante’s spiritual director and soon received the Imprimatur and Nihil Obstat and were published in the book “The Apostolate of Holy Motherhood” in June of 1991.

“I also saw myself in a vision dressed in ancient garb similar to the Blessed Mother’s. I somehow understood this to mean that I was being fashioned into the likeness of the Blessed Mother...
“Later, I understood that all mothers, and particularly those called to this Apostolate, are meant to become living images of our Blessed Mother through the power of the Holy Spirit and by the imitation of Our Blessed Mother’s virtues.” - Mariamante, The Apostolate of Holy Motherhood
“The holiness I give you will convert others, will bring others fallen far from Me back to Me, if you are truly My witness on earth.”
