FIRST PART

A   The indispensable condition of this initiative is to realize, praying to SS Mary, The virgin Mother of God, because Our Lord gives us the manifestation of his strong maternal presence amidst us and she visits here children in Europe: That is “Signum Magnum”who brings Jesus.

Let us request the cloistered monasteries for special prayers..

-    All European Christians live together, the Marian time starting from 150 years of LOURDES (2008) to 100 years of FATIMA (2017).

-    "Per Mariam ad Jesum" ! Mary brings us to Jesus.

C   Useful ways and means for the realization:

The initiative proposed above could be promoted at the level of Europe, involving National Bishops’ Conferences and of both men and women religious and ecclesial movements.

Having a informal opportune contact with higher authorities (Cardinals, Bishops, Presidents of Episcopal conferences, etc), because through them the initiative can easily reach the knowledge of the Holy Father.

D   The Formalities (the first step) for the Realization:

-     The superiors could encourage and permit explicitly all those who wish to work for this mission with their blessing and approval.

-     An establishment of a centre and office (1-2 or3 persons in-charge as ready sensitization) which could serve as immediate via media (via E-mail), principally both men and women religious could initiate and then make other dioceses, parishes, and the ecclesial movements to involve in it.

-     An official letter from the Secretary to the Episcopal conference in Europe and the conference of Major Religious Superiors could be obtained.

E   Some Concrete Indications:

-    The initiative may include as a sing of (possibly) passing the statue of “Mary of Nazareth”, among the people, which is left with Fransciscans of Nazareth at the end of “peregrination Mariae Mondiale” (from8th March 1998- Christmas 1999).

-    The Bishop’s conference of Europe on their part could request a statue of Mary of Nazareth from the custodian father of the Holy Land.

-    The statue “Mary of Nazareth” will stop for a week in every Capital of the New Europe, mainly stopping in the cathedral; but one of the week days of that week it will visit the main marian Shrine in the country.

-     Request may made to the Holy Father from Rome to send his inspiring message to every country during “the week of Evangelization with Mary”, consecrating to Her every person of Europe and finally whole Europe at large.

-     All the countries must live making use of all the means available at Church level, a unique programme like, a day or a week with prayers, singing, teaching, celebrations and consecration and a National committee could prepare a guide book.

-    A team and a Committee should be constituted in every country to-    A team and a Committee should be constituted in every country to respond to the needs of Episcopate and the European Religious could be executive part of the obligation of this Evangelization by European Catholic Comunity. The National Committee should be composed of : a Bishop (president), an effective Coordinator, a man and woman religious, a lay man and woman and one among them could be elected as secretary.

-    The General coordinator (instructed by the suitable authority) must himself principally coordinate, assist and animate the whole initiative. His head office is good that is placed at the International Shrine of Holy House of Loreto (AN).

-    The economical aspect will have recourse to the Providence. In every place free collection can be made. It will look after the printing matters and religious articles related to the Mission of “Mary of Nazareth”. -    The excess offers, gifts will be handed over to the General coordinator and his central governing body, for the charitable work in honor of Mary of Nazareth”.

SECOND PART

Working Plan and the Time frame for the Implementation (2009-2017) of

THE MISSION OF   “MARY OF NAZARETH“   in   EUROPE

1   From 2009 to 2011 ( World Youth Day in Madrid); duration 2012-2017:

The utilization of the time:

o    To make known the initiative at different levels, preparing in the right way and presenting it to the competent authorities.

o    To inform the Pope about it by the interest of some Bishops and Cardinals for the reception of His blessing.

o    To permit the secretary to make known the initiative for both to propose and to accept membership applications.

o   To present the initiative to the different Bishops’ Conferences in Europe for their approval and if it is approved by them then it is easy for the same National Conference to present the same to the European Bishops’ Conference.

2   G M G of M A D R I D :

-     The initiative M.M. in E, must possibly be inserted to the program GMG or at least it must be made known with the aim of forming the youth for this evangelization.

-     The statue “Mary of Nazareth” (nowadays entrusted to custody of Holy Land) shall be brought eventually to GMG as sign.

-     Preparing the Christian youth to re-evangelize Europe together with Mary.

-     2012 could be the year of preparation in view of “Mission Mary of Nazareth in Europe”.

-     A Text book could be thought of which may contain:

o      Biblical passages from both Old and New Testament related to SS. Mary.

o      Lumen Gentium Chapter 8.

o      Redemptoris Mater of John Paul II.

o      Marialis Cultus of Paul VI.

o      The True Devotion to St. Louis Mary of Monfort.

3    European Bishops’ Conference must give their consent and approval so that the initiative is completely ecclesial and will have its required coordination.

The National Episcopal Conferences in turn, constitute a National Committee and confirm it with appropriate Secretariat.

5    Let us make provision for:

-    A basic bookthat provides inspiration and guidance to all national committee and secretariat for the “Mission Mary of Nazareth in Europe“. In the different countries, the book could be prepared with more specific choices, indicated by particular European Bishops’ Conference maintaining the general settings.

-    Similarly in every country some of the specific terms indicated by Bishops’ conference can be carefully selected.

-    In the same way in every country some specific topics on Marian preachers who are wise and endowed with charismatic nature could be selected in the announcement.

-    A suitable time could be thought for the involvement of all Catholic groups (and also other supporters) presented on the national territory: dioceses, parishes, religious institutes, cloistered, ecclesial movements, associations, radio, TV and internet etc.

-     A spiritual bank could be opened in view of collecting prayer intentions (bids):

-     Rosaries, hours of adoration, Holy Mass (can be attended during weekdays) also Chaplet of Divine Mercy.

-     Possibly this spiritual bank could be run by a cloistered monastery.

6    The greatest grace shall again be received from Mary of Nazareth, Jesus, our only Savior, who is brought to us in her womb “Virgin made Church”.

7    The living experience that we have in Europe shall be transmitted to other Continents, for the new Evangelization with Mary of Nazareth all over the world:

-      Year 2014 in America

-      Year 2015 in Africa

-      Year 2016 in Asia

-      Year 2017 in Australia (January – April)

-      Year 2017 on 13th May in FATIMA

                    Then in the Holy Land
