“Are there sound grounds for hope about the immediate future of the USA? Without doubt the messages of Our Lady of America to Sr. Mary Ephrem certainly do offer such grounds. This simple, yet detailed sketch of the historical background and of the context of these messages makes perfectly clear why this is so and why Our Lady has chosen the States for a particular role in the salvation of souls, and what will be the consequences of not corresponding with her requests. Dan Lynch once again has succeeded in making crystal clear why the Immaculate Virgin is not simply a pious extra for us, but someone who must be at the very heart of  our lives, socially as well as personally.” Fr. Peter M. Fehlner, F.I., Mariologist, Rector, Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe
