Mary's Master Plan for America

Is now the time to give up on making America holy?

What does Our Lady want for our country?

It's time to use your gift of generosity to help everyone enjoy God's love like you do.

Will you help keep our doors open so we can launch Our Lady's master plan?

Please, make your annual Christmas gift today.

You have a powerful gift of generosity—you enjoy giving!
And without you the Mary Foundation will cease to exist.

Your sacrifice directly helps us reach more souls.
This is why Our Lady sent you to be a part of our mission.

I believe our prayers, reparations, and almsgiving
through Operation True Cross have moved the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

Our Lady has shown me a bold plan to transform the United
States into the most Catholic nation on earth!

It's called Treasure in Heaven, and within a few short years I'm
certain it will result in millions of converts and saints.

But first, we have to keep our doors open!

May Jesus and Mary guide your heart when you decide how
much to give this year. I trust you because they do.

Happy Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe!

I can't believe almost 25,000 of you missed my annual Christmas appeal kickoff on Tuesday! Seems awful fishy, right?

Before we get rolling, I'm grateful beyond words for everyone who has already participated in the appeal so far. You guys are the best!

How to Make America Catholic

I know the whole idea of converting America into a fully Catholic nation sounds impossible. Yet after three years of prayerful self-denial, I believe the Mother of God has gently guided me to the simple steps we need to take during the next few years to help God do just that. It's completely feasible.

How would you feel if you opened your eyes every day knowing that everyone you knew was in love with God the same way you are?

The short version of our new Treasure in Heaven initiative is to mail Saint Francis de Sales' How to Pray book to forty million Catholic and Christian households while inviting them to become saints.

That's casting a net over 200,000,000 million souls!

Our research shows that tens of millions of these people are poised to convert, grow in holiness, and refill our churches and schools—all they need is one invitation.

And many of them will join Operation True Cross to secure the divine intervention needed to vanquish the dark forces oppressing our nation.

Millions will begin ordering and distributing our tools for evangelization, reaching millions more!

The Holiness Teacher

Remember, most people already believe and pray—they just need a spiritual master to teach them how to pray like a saint. Saint Francis de Sales is that master teacher.

This is why the world-renowned exorcist Father Chad Ripperger recommends De Sales' How to Pray so strongly—and why Our Lady inspired us to bring this lost treasure out of obscurity and make it available for next to nothing.

After America receives this profoundly effective book—which is attractive even to non-Catholics—Jesus Christ will guide millions to conversion through direct contact with Him in daily prayer and mystical union with Him all day long using Saint Francis' proven methods.

Even better, today's unbelievers and Protestants are tomorrow's most effective Catholic evangelists.

Think of Saint Paul, or Scott Hahn.

Now imagine hundreds of thousands of super-talented convert-evangelists fanning out to transform our nation.

Picture millions joining Mary's numerous apostolates, our Catholic parishes overflowing, devout Catholic marriages forming, nuns and priests multiplying, and babies being born.

The United States will be transformed into the Kingdom of Christ on earth by 2030.

An Ocean of Saints

You already understand that it takes saints and divine intervention to alter the course of history—to transform individuals, families, communities, and whole nations.

When Our Lady called me to start this little apostolate in 1991, I received a vision of a boundless ocean of people converting. Finally, after thirty-three years in the harvest field of souls and her sending so many wonderful people like you to join our mission, she has unveiled the final steps to making it happen.

That's why we need to move to a much larger operations center, hire new workers, and teach millions of people how to become saints and evangelists.

Preparing to mail 40,000,000 books will cost a few million dollars. Actually mailing them will cost tens of millions more. I'm not worried about that right now. The plan is in place.

For now, we just need hundreds of thousands of dollars—and for you to be what you already are—someone with the gift of generosity who cares about your family, your country, and the salvation of souls.

It's not often that one donation can lead to such a massive impact on so many lives in such a short period of time.

I trust you because Our Lady sent you to me. So when you make this year's gift, please be generous.

And this Advent, the Mother of God will guide you to the right amount.

Remember, "almsgiving atones for sin," (Sirach 3:30), including the sins of those we love who are not willing—yet!—to return to grace.

Bringing lost sheep to the Good Shepherd is "treasure in heaven."

How Much Will It Take in 2025?

Every year, as much as I ardently long for every reader to join in, that's simply not the case.

Even so, just doubling or tripling the number of participants this year will dramatically reduce the timeline for implementing Treasure in Heaven—and believe me, we will spend every penny for souls!

Normally, the Mary Foundation needs around $200,000 to keep our doors open for another year, but this year we need closer to $500,000 to launch Treasure in Heaven, including moving into the larger operations center, making high-capacity tech upgrades, hiring new specialized workers, and sending out the first large-scale test mailings later in 2025.

We already know how to do this because it is precisely what we have been doing better than anyone for decades, only on a larger scale.

But here is the coolest part of all—and why I am so certain it can happen if we all pitch in together:

The vision Our Lady gave me of the
endless ocean of souls is not just for me.
You can see it too!

Lift your heart to God in prayer. In your mind's eye, stand on the sand dune with me. Feel the sun and breeze on your face. Now look down at the waves of souls extending beyond the horizon. See them—and feel how much they are longing for someone to bring them to God.

Next, walk down with me to the shoreline. When we arrive, turn around to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with those millions of people as we all begin walking together toward the beautiful Eucharistic Nation that God wills for the United States waiting just beyond that dune...

Awesome, right? So please, please, don't leave it to "everybody else" this Christmas. You are everybody else.

We Love Our Overseas Friends

We are truly grateful for the financial support we receive from our friends around the world—in Canada, Australia, the U.K, the Philippines, and beyond. Because our mission includes the whole world, there will be ways to bring Treasure in Heaven to your country too.

Group Prayer: Let's Finish Strong

On this feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, we will offer our lionhearted Cardinal Burke's 9-month novena to her, which culminates today. Whether you knew about it or are just finding out today, please join me and hundreds of thousands all over the world as we complete the novena, beginning in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit...

O Virgin Mother of God, we fly to your protection and beg your intercession against the darkness and sin which ever more envelop the world and menace the Church. Your Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, gave you to us as our mother as He died on the Cross for our salvation. So too, in 1531, when darkness and sin beset us, He sent you, as Our Lady of Guadalupe, on Tepeyac to lead us to him who alone is our light and our salvation.

Through your apparitions on Tepeyac and your abiding presence with us on the miraculous mantle of your messenger, Saint Juan Diego, millions of souls converted to faith in your divine son. Through this novena and our consecration to you, we humbly implore your intercession for our daily conversion of life to him and the conversion of millions more who do not yet believe in him. In our homes and in our nation, lead us to him who alone wins the victory over sin and darkness in us and in the world.

Unite our hearts to your Immaculate Heart so that they may find their true and lasting home in the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus. Ever guide us along the pilgrimage of life to our eternal home with him. So may our hearts, one with yours, always trust in God’s promise of salvation, in his never-failing mercy toward all who turn to him with a humble and contrite heart. Through this novena and our consecration to you, O Virgin of Guadalupe, lead all souls in America and throughout the world to your divine son in whose name we pray. Amen.

Excellent. The short version of everything I wrote above is:

You are important.
See the Ocean of Souls.
Our Lady has a master plan.
So unleash your gift of generosity!

Fear nothing. Emmanuel is with us.

Being in God's will is the only true happiness on earth—that is holiness. Anyone can be a saint if they become like a child and allow Saint Francis de Sales to guide them.

The Lord, in prayer, has been sending me a steady message for four years: "Build the army. Don't lose your nerve. It's for the whole world."

Please overwhelm my crew with donations. Pour. It. On!

May God grant us all a grace-adorned, peaceful, and truly Merry Christmas!

With Mary, the Mother of God,
