Fifty years to the day after Our Lady of America appeared to an American nun and asked that a statue of her likeness be displayed in the Basilica Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, her statue was blessed by an American Bishop while it was on display in the Mass room of the United States Bishops’ Conference in Baltimore, Maryland.
Archbishop Raymond L. Burke, of Saint Louis blessed the statue on November 15, 2006 and affirmed that the devotion was approved. He is a world renowned canon lawyer. In a letter dated May 31, 2007 he wrote, “What can be concluded canonically is that the devotion was both approved by Archbishop Leibold and, what is more, was actively promoted by him. In addition, over the years, other Bishops have approved the devotion and have participated in public devotion to the Mother of God, under the title of Our Lady of America.”
This information was found on a facebook group titled Our Lady of America. Anyway, the reason I gave this information is because there is another song devoted to the Blessed Virgin titled Our Lady of America.Our Lady of America appeared as a crowned Queen and identified herself as “the Immaculate One, Patroness of your land.” She said that the role of America, especially through its youth, is to lead the world to purity and peace through prayer. She promised peace if we did and warned of chastisements if we didn’t. Let us pray that the Bishops honor Our Lady of America’s request soon and place her statue in the National Shrine as a safeguard for our country.
