2 Corinthians 5:18-20 The Ambassadors - Monthly News and Events The School of Mary By: Howard A. Huntzinger Jr. December, 2016 Volume 23 Issue 12 "[Mary] is and remains the handmaid of the Lord who does not put herself at the center, but wants to lead us towards God, to teach us a way of life in which God is acknowledged as the center of all there is and the center of our personal lives" (Pope Benedict XVI, Angelus, September 10, 2006). A great mystery and joy of our lifetime is the Virgin Mary coming to us under the title Queen of Mercy; not to France, Mexico, or some other far off place or time, but here in Texas, here and now. "Nowhere else on this earth am I coming as the Queen of Mercy. Nowhere else has God ordained for me to bring this kind of mercy" (Queen of Mercy, April 2, 2016). What is even more extraordinary besides the Blessed Virgin Mary coming is that she has been bringing God's mercy through 260 messages for over 28 years: an event that is still going on. Not new mysteries or new revelations, but a new depth into Christ, the scriptures, God's mercy, and the Kingdom of God. In the Queen of Mercy messages we find something special and unique: a look into her heart. The Immaculate Heart of Mary resembles Christ's heart more than any other: a heart that draws us to him, "Come and know my son." Don't miss the time of her visitation: don't ignore her words. By the power of the Holy Spirit she is truly manifest in her words: "My children, I have this to say to all my children, listen to my words of love for they wish to embrace you and hold you. They wish to bring you comfort and joy. They wish to give you peace and hope; they wish to bring you to everlasting life with us in heaven. My words of love come with actions of forgiveness; they come to bring you thirst and hunger for God and my son, for he is the way, the truth, and the light. My words of love purge you to be open to the light of Christ, my son. My words of love for you are with tears of sorrow as I see your sorrow, and tears of joy as I see your joy." (Queen of Mercy, Unknown Date Message # 2) "My children, this is a time of special graces in which I teach you how to live for God" (Queen of Mercy, August 8, 1988); "allow me to teach you this great mystery of love and forgiveness, of mercy" (Queen of Mercy, December 01, 2003). Welcome to the School of Mary! Merry Christmas from the Ambassadors of the Flame of Mercy Pope Benedict XVI said about Mary, "At the school of Mary let us learn to always live in communion with the Crucified and Risen Christ, allowing ourselves to be led by his and our heavenly Mother" (Pope Benedict XVI, Angelus, May 29, 2005). "I recommend that you love the Mother of the Lord learn from her how to love Christ" (Pope Benedict XVI 's Homily at mass May 15, 2005). "Who can accompany us better on this demanding journey of holiness than Mary? Who can teach us to adore Christ better than she? May she help especially the new generation to recognize the true face of God in Christ and to worship, love and serve him with total dedication" (Pope Benedict XVI, Angelus, August 7, 2005). While the messages were given one at a time, and each message stands on its own merit, The School of Mary and her teachings are revealed when the complete set of messages are brought together to bring fuller, more complete teachings on a subject. For example, for this article I looked up all messages that contained the word "learn". I wanted to find out what she wanted us to learn. The answer was illuminating. As I scanned the 28 years of messages, I found that Our Lady has used the word "learn" 33 times (see page 3 and 4 of this Continued on Page 2: School
December, 2016 Page 2 School: Article continued from page 1 newsletter to see my findings). In summary, I found that Our Lady says she wants us to learn to listen - the word "listen" is also mentioned 71 times in other messages; to learn to be wise - the word "wise" is mentioned in 5 other messages; to learn to pray and learn how to pray - the word "pray" is mentioned 555 times throughout the complete set of messages; learn to love - the word "love" is mentioned 1,065 times; and so on. Even if the Queen of Mercy Messages are from the Blessed Virgin, why are they important? Pope Benedict reminds us of the unique role of Mary in salvation history, for it is Mary "who is the Mother of Jesus and who, better than anyone else, can lead us to know, love and adore the Son of God made man" (Pope Benedict XVI, Angelus, December 11, 2005). "Through the long, ordinary years of the hidden life, as she brought up Jesus looked on Jesus, she 'learned' him moment by moment." "Let Mary guide you as you 'learn' Jesus" (Pope Benedict XVI, address, May 26, 2006). I want to close with a portion of a prayer written and led by Pope Benedict XVI to Mary on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception: "Full of grace" are you, Mary, which, welcoming with your "yes" to the Creator's plan, opened to us the path of salvation. Teach us also at your school to say our "yes"... Let it be a "yes" that joins with your own "yes," without reservations or shadows, a "yes" that the Heavenly Father willed Show yourself, O Mary, as Mother of all, and give us Christ, the Hope of the world! Amen! (cf. Pope Benedict's Prayer on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, December 8, 2006) The full set of the Queen of Mercy Messages (PDF Format) can be downloaded at our website at www.queenofmercy.com or www.flameofmercy.com.

November Queen of Mercy Message November 5, 2016 My Beloved sons, It pleases me greatly that you are here. You have been set free; do not return to the vomit of unforgiveness or bitterness, of guilt and condemnation; for God in his great and unfathomable mercy has sent today graces with your name on them. As you walked onto this Sanctuary of Grace there were graces for you to drink and be nourished with this nectar of mercy: so sweet, so unconditional. My sons take this grace and spread it with your example. My sons the Year of Mercy will not end but will continue in you. Let the grace of mercy do its job in you. Every moment that you say no to sin and yes to love, this mercy is doing what it was sent out to do in your lives, in this world. The world is not too big: God has it in his hand and he can use your prayers to bring the message of the Kingdom of God - mercy. Peace. Peace. Peace of Jesus be with you. Thank you, thank you for being here tonight. Putting the Final Touches on Chapel Floor Plan The picture to the left is the November meeting with (left to right) architect: Amanda King, Head Moderator: Henry Constancio, and Project Director: Kathy Gloria, who met to review building design and direct needed changes. The final floor plans are expected to be complete in December. The construction project is being called the Queen of Mercy Sanctuary of Grace Chapel Center based upon the message of September 5, 2015: build my place, my Sanctuary of Grace to bring others to learn about the greatness of God and that he exists.
December, 2016 Page 3 School of Mary Subject: "Learn" Teachings from the Queen of Mercy Message based on the word learn. You must learn to listen to your shepherd, for he leads you to hear our Father's call and to recognize when he calls you. (June 27, 1988) My children listen to your Father for He IS. For He IS wisdom. He IS mercy. He IS just. From God our Father...from my Son, you must learn to be merciful; you must follow after wisdom and you must seek after justice. My children learn to be wise. Listen and do what I ask you to do, for I want only to lead you to my Son...only to lead you to be with me in eternity. My children learn how to pray. My children, prayer will come easy when you love our Lord. My children love. Love has no beginning and has no ending. Love has always been here and will always be. Ask the Great Lover. Ask and you shall receive this unending love. (August 1, 1988) Learn to pray in the morning and at night before you lay to rest, that even your rest may be offered to our Father. My children rid yourselves of your financial burdens that only tend to enslave you to the debtor. My children, no longer must you be blinded by this. Learn to be wise, and in your wisdom will you find joy that will be a blessing upon your soul. (September 19, 1988) My dear children my time for being with you and instructing you is quickly coming to an end. My children, I call you to live the messages I have already given you. My children, you must learn to love. You must learn to forgive, and you must learn to seek forgiveness. (October 31, 1988) My children, you must learn how to accept suffering in the hours of your agony, this is when Jesus can reveal His kingdom for you, if you accept your sufferings for His honor and glory. You must learn to smile at your death for it is, indeed, your life, the beginning of the end. Learn to trust in your Father and His plan for each one of our lives. (November 14, 1988) My children, listen and learn to be wise (cf. Sirach 1)...for when you heed my message, your wisdom is shown. This season give with your heart. Give what is most precious of all your treasures. Do not be afraid to love again and again, for it is in loving that we receive it in return. (December 12, 1988) No more can you take your ease for tomorrow. Take to heart all that you have learned and all you have heard me speak to your hearts. My little ones, I speak of love and a great concern for your souls. Your soul is that which I seek to bring to my son. (December 26, 1988) Continue to walk in the path I have now put you on. Jesus has gone before you, [and] he has carved the right road for you. I am joyful that you have answered the call of your desire to be here to learn about my spouse [the Holy Spirit]. Now my angels go and live what you have learned. There is much work to do, many souls to fight for, many souls to win over to Jesus. Let go of all your unforgiveness. (February 28, 1993) How I wish you would come to me as a child who is ready to listen and ready to learn the will of God. My children, my purpose of coming always is to lead you to my son. (August 15, 2003) I have called you, each one of you. This weekend, this time here is no mistake. This time learning about God, about my Son and His ways is a turning point for your life. There is grace for everyone. (May 3, 2008) My Beloveds learn to be meek and humble as my sons: to many of you this will be a great sacrifice of love. As my son the teacher will teach you as his students to be docile as a reed blowing in the wind: the wind of [the] Holy Spirit: ever so gentle, and kind and firm. (September 5, 2009) What others hope for, what the learned and the schooled think they have, you have received. There is no spiritual gift that has been withheld from you, for you have sought them out, you have knocked at the doors of the hardest of hearts, and they have been opened to you, and there lies the treasures of the Kingdom. It is in loving, in forgiving, in showing mercy that these treasures are uncovered. (February 28, 2010) Listen. Listen. Listen more than you speak about mercy. Listen and learn what the whispers in the heart have to say and you will hear me. (February 28, 2011) My sons, thank you for being here and coming to learn about the direction, the laws, the statutes for your life, for this pleases the Father and my son to see you here; to take in the living water into your souls. (November 5, 2011) Continued on page 4 - See: Learn

My sons, you have found the way to learn (i.e read Scripture), the way to accept, the way to experience this mercy, this great and awesome gift of mercy that will pull you through the gates of heaven and pull you out of the jaws of Satan, the devourer. (November 09, 2013) We have come with great rejoicing and empowerment to give you all. My children, the joy comes because you are here to learn and to be renewed, restored, and filled with the joy-giver. (June 7, 2014) My sons I again invite you to come to learn the ways of mercy. I invite you to the Triumph of My Immaculate Heart retreat (August 30, 2014) I am so pleased that you have come to honor me with your presence, and even more important that you have come to learn how to love because of God, to learn to love yourselves because God loves you. (February 28, 2015) My beloved sons, there is a great purpose in your coming; there is a purpose for your life. God has called each of you by name. Will you respond to this calling, this calling of mercy? For it is in the mercy of God that you are here. There is no mistake for our Beloved Omnipotent God does not make mistakes.
