Pilgrimages for Life

Liturgical Ceremonies for all children who died before birth
and all the innocent victims of our world

FIORETTI

Consolations received after Masses for the naming and commital of UNBORN CHILDREN and other INNOCENT VICTIMS since 1989.

At the very beginning, 28 Dec 1988, a Russian orthodox converted just before Christmas. The priest invited her to the ceremony but had not explained. She was taken by surprise about the naming of the children, for she had only one name in mind for her first child, a miscarriage when 17, Emmanuel. She heard herself saying aloud: "Emmanuel", "Peter", "John-Mary". She was inundated in indescribable love - within and around her. Then Our Lady opened her understanding and explained the choice of the three Names dictated to her: (which explicit the interaction of forgiveness)

- Emmanuel - for this is the confirmation of God's Will on your soul and on his when you denied your own will in accepting with love your first-born which He took from you in a road accident.

- Peter - By this name which I chose for your second unborn child (a little boy) you will in your heart forgive unconditionally your husband Peter for having abandoned you at the age of 22 with two babies; (Peter, my husband was not the father of this child named Peter by Our Lady). For thus, said Our Lady, little Peter's sacrificed innocence will serve the pardon the Lord wishes to grant with you, to your husband Peter. What is more, "On Peter l will build my Church": that is, l take the soul of little Peter to serve and participate in the edification of my Church.

- For John-Mary - your third unborn soul (aborted at 5 weeks) - you could not know whether he was boy or girl - Our Lord confirms the unconditional forgiveness you have granted and Himself forgive your concubine John who abandoned you at the age of 39 with your baby Mikaël (but John was not the father of John-Mary). Thus, She said, the sacrificed innocence of John-Mary will serve the pardon that the Lord grants your ex concubine John. What is more, I have added "Mary" for I associate this unborn soul to Myself by giving him my own Title as "Mother of Love and Mercy". The soul of John-Mary will in his very littleness participate with me in the forgiveness and mercy of sinners in the world.

Our Mother Mary concluded: "Blessed is the Lord who dissolves evil by Good and transforms it for His Glory and the Salvation of the world.

ln 1989, a persan of Muslim origin from N.Arrica, adopted by Christians who returned to France, came from Brittany, a 1200kms cross-country trip, to offer her aborted child. Her deceased husband had, when alive, a cruel face. The following night he appeared to her in a dream with a magnificent smile, radiating joy. She had been obliged to run away from home because of the negative influence he was having on her physical and spiritual life: (he had sequestered her).

A young Rumanian convert, who in her home country had belonged to the Communist Youth Mvt., did not know whether she had had 2 or 3 abortions (by potions). Two days before the ceremony she phoned. What Names should she give? Boys or girls? She was advised to pray and ask God: (she did not really believe that!) On the morning of the ceremony, she had a dream of a magnificent lawn, and innumerable child l'en the size of chicks: suddenly 2 tiny girls started to run towards her holding out their arms crying: "Mum, Mum, l am X!" giving their names. At the instant when they jumped iota her oms, they became the size of normal children. She was quite overcome. That day, she also named and offered through the Mass a long list of her Rumanian friands' aborted children, (25).

A 24 yr. old, whose life was very 'disordered', although of Catholic up-bringing, mother of a little girl - far from God - had aborted 4 years earlier. One morning on awakening, to her stupefaction, she saw a lovely little boy of about 4 yrs. sitting at the end of her bed. She was quite panicked! Unknown to her, her aider sister the previous day (29 September) Feast of the Archangels, had come on a 3~ heur coach pilgrimage, to Cotignac. Discovering the principal aim of the pilgrimage, she spontaneously offered her younger sister's aborted baby, and gave him the name of Gabriel - without being able to contact her sister. Although the young mother did not accept true conversion, there were a number of improvements in the disorder of her life - she left her very unsuitable companion (drugs, etc), reconciliated with her mother ....

Me A. had a depression every year on the anniversary date of her abortion, incited by her parents, although she was engaged to the father. Their marriage broke up ; as year by year she drew closer to God the depression worsened in intensity and duration. On a pilgrimage to Italy 14 years later, she learnt that she could offer her child through a Mass to this intention. During the Eucharist 'the Heavens opened', showing her 14 yr.old son in a white robe holding a lighted candle. Since then, her 11 yr.old daughter, of rather perturbed behaviour, has completely settled. When she was told that she had had a brother, she exclaimed: "I always knew I had!" This evant completely transformed the life of this young woman, psychically, spiritually, and somatically; these aspects being intertwined. She has since become engaged in the cause to save life, by telephone listening, witnessing in public, and attempting to inform and form a similar-minded group of Christian medical workers.

Me A. spoke of this possibility of reparation to a friend, depressive after 3 abortions and her concubine's suicide. This lady went home having decided she would take this star. She called her 2~yr.old daughter when the meal was ready - but the child kart answering "Later.. Mum.. later". So her mother went to the room where she could hear the child in animated conversation. Her little girl reproached her saying: "Why did you come Mum.. they were so nice. Now they've gone." According to the child, there were 3 children playing with her! They returned 3 days running. These 'unborn' children were offered at the next ceremony.

Me A. tells also how she had heard that her grandmother (aged 75) had lost twins through miscarriage many years before, so with her permission she offered them at the next ceremony. The family thought the old lady was losing her head because she was asking them 'to hush the children who were making such a noise in her room'. After a few days everything calmed down. The symptoms of stifling and palpitations which the grandmother had suffered for some time disappeared and she became very serene.

One pilgrimage organiser tells that, on 28 December 1994, a woman in a prayer group who had aborted refused to come: she believed in re-incarnation, so! At home, in Marseille, during the ceremony at Cotignac, she went through the physical manifestations of giving birth - and was convinced of the authenticity of this spiritual step and offering! Other women have testified to labour-pains during or consecutive to offering of their children.

At Paray-le-Monial, (St. Margaret Mary Alacoque and the Sacred Heart), at a big charismatic meeting of 30,000 people with F. Tardif, Our Lord asked that women present who had had an abortion should go and find a priest, receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation, give a name to their child and have a Eucharist celebrated. One of these couples, from a neighbouring county, searched in vain for a priest who would celebrate in this way - they were told that the Mercy of God and Confession were sufficient. Providence lid them to a friend who had my personal telephone number. This couple, parents of 5 children had, on medical advice, aborted of a handicapped child 20 years before. During the ceremony they were surprised when (physically) a great weight was lifted from their shoulders, and they both received great peace and joy. They returned to future ceremonies in thanksgiving.

Another childless couple, practising Catholics, had many years before lost three children through miscarriage ~ since then a certain sadness and depression had reigned in their lives. Not very convinced by this star (particularly the husband), they came. They received a great and lasting peace - and testified to this before a priest at a parish meeting.

A 21 yr. old girl who came to spend Christmas (94), was recovering from a 'stoppage' and had just come out of hospital. She was pleased to assist at the ceremony but knew very little about it. On the morning of 28 December, Holy Innocents, she awoke 'knowing' that her father had had an older 'unborn' brother, and that his name was Matthew. On her return to Paris, her father confirmed this, a hidden in secret in the family: there had been a Rhesus problem. Now, she collaborates in an active way.

A travelling representative had always longed to have children. He had had several mistresses, and knew of 3 aborted children. His wife had had several miscarriages, lost her reason, and committed suicide. His present mistress had aborted of twins, without asking him, and he brought her to us. She was far from the Lord - had had another abortion when young: that name was given to her while she was asking me what name to give! The unborn children were offered in December. During Mass, he was told in his heart that he had 9 children, not three! His companion, as often happens, would have no more to do with him but she rang me: to her amazement, 9 months later a number of children had manifested to her. She had progressed spiritually considerably. Her son had brought home his pregnant girl-friand, and to her delight announced that not only were they keeping the baby but also intending to marry in Church.

ln 1998, a child aborted 22 years before was offered at a normal Sunday parish Mass, the congregation not knowing the intention. After Mass a man approached the celebrant and said "I don't understand, but thought I should tell you: at the Consecration a tall white form went up to Heaven.. saying thank you.. thank you.. thank you".

ln Brazil, where similar celebrations are hold regularly since 1995, including by a Bishop, prostitutes received a 'flash' during Mass of how their own mothers had attempted to abort of them (the means), and the affect on their own lives. Another woman experienced her son's immense anguish during the years waiting to be remembered and offered. The doctor ex-responsible for the maternity unit of a big hospital (in Brazil only so-called 'therapeutic' abortion is legal) publicly repented and asked forgiveness for signing the death warrant of some five thousand children during her career.

A very emotional and guilt-laden lady came with a box of parer hankies, fearing she would cry a lot. To her amazement, she did not shed a tear - only fell great peace and joy! 50 many events had nearly prevented her from coming: It snowed, there was a train strike - in the end she risked it and drove (a long drive). AlI the difficulties were smoothed out on the way: and after Mass, she met people who invited her to spend the night half-way home, and became warm friands. Many people tell of the obstacles to prevent attendance. She returned here with her husband several times.

Forgiving is a prime condition.

The most marking consequence of these celebrations is the grace of amendment of life, which enables people, - even if those surrounding them are of no spiritual support and even if they can only unite at distance - to discover a life of prayer, Sacraments.. the Eucharist. Conflictual situations seem to gradually become resolved, over a lapse of time of up to two years.

One person testifies how 'the cloud' suddenly lifted completely when she decided to make an active contribution to reparation by organising such ceremonies in her own region. She received an inner picture of 'virgin snow'.

People realise the gift of life, witness to help others, and repent of other hidden aspects: the coil, IVF (surnumerary destruction), the pill, refusal of God's Will. It has become apparent how many people are 'innocent victims' of emotional or spiritual wounds received in-utero before their own birth, or in early childhood, which have led to depression, suicide, homo-sexuality, behaviour problems, divorce, etc. These should also be 'placed on the Altar'.

The penitential liturgy is more assimilated to the 'baptism of repentance' of St.John the Baptist, and drawn essentially from the Funeral Rites of children who died without baptism: it is the EUCHARISTwhich 'justifies' and 'unbinds'.

PILGRIMAGES FOR LIFE
Ceremonies for all the innocent victims of our world
Children who died before birth
For our own sins, the sins of the world, all sins against innocence, particularly abortion

As the Holy Father John Paul ll requested ~ "a great Prayer for life is urgent, by extra-ordinary initiatives or in habitual Prayer" ~ may an ardent supplication rise towards God the Creator.. who loves life.. so that the strength of the Almighty may destroy the walls of error and lies and change hearts and repair for innocent blood. (Ev. Vit. 99 - 100; Cat.2270; Dives in Mis. 7).

Intercession, reparation and reconciliation: for the children - for the parents - for
the change of heart of the medical corps; there is a post-abortive syndrome, but also an aborter syndrome: like a spiral into evil engenders evil; for the sequels of sins of all forms against innocence effect the generations.

LIFE is full of JOY: these ceremonies are intense, fervent but full or joy: and Our Lord and His Mother grant their blessing asked "IN THE NAME OF JESUS"

1) Prayers, a walk in silence united to the silent cry or these children, in via in the nothingness or being almost completely forgotten after a terrifying death, pain & rejection
- Ask them to forgive. Ask forgiveness of God forgive those who incited to this act.
- Express our desire to welcome them back into our love: to repair,
- Express our desire to 'adopt' them: to become Godmothers/Godfathers; firstly for one or a few, according to the capacity, the elasticity of our hearts, during the time which precedes the ceremony: 'humanise' them: pray with them, say the Creed with them, invite/take them to Mass with us.
- Afterwards, similarly with those of a hospital, a nation, a continent, the world.
- Praise God in unit with them.

2) The NAME
Why give a name to 'unborn children' ?
Everyone.. parents 'adopters'.. the faithful.. go up in procession to give the names to the priests; in this manner anonymity is respected: also, the intentions for other innocent victims of the world.
A father, a mother give a name. The name is our identity: gives our dignity: a name chosen with love.
They have been deprived of their dignity: man has disobeyed the Word of God: the 5th Cdt. "Thou shall not kill".. the 6th Cdt.., the 7th Cdt.., despoiled of their right to spiritual life. How could they go into eternity without a NAME?
The NAME, (SHEM in Hebrew), in a living reality is what constitutes that it is PRESENT, that it reaches its FINALITY i.e. in ACT. As God creates by his Word.. and man is a creator in the image of God by his word, man is creator for all below him who have a body. We must be careful, for our word 'creates'. Our thoughts are the support of our word.. and are also potentially 'creative'.

3) A CANDLE: in remembrance for each innocent life snurred out:
- maybe the world would better realise the massacre: (1997: UNO)
1 billion in 20 years + 144,000 a day - more victims than in all the wars
10% of the world figure in Brazil where only therapeutic abortion is legal
There is also euthanasia! And 'the next morning pill'.. now on sale without a prescription in many countries. ln IVF conceptions, the surplus or imperfect are destroyed.

4) Apply the BLOOD and the Merits of Jesus Christ ~ like the innocent blood of Abel. Through the Eucharist, by consecrating them to the Mercy of God. Before committing them to the Love of God, we must receive them back into our love, intercede for their entry into the Communion of Saints.
