Using modern technology, our mission is dedicated to bringing the devotion of Our Lady's Immaculate heart into people's homes, to the public square and to the world.
We humbly invite you to join us.
"Christ will conquer through her, because He wants the Church's victories now and in the future to be linked to her" Saint John Paul the Great.
Act of Consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary
Queen of the Most Holy Rosary, and tender Mother of all people,
I consecrate myself to you and to your Immaculate Heart,
and recommend to you my family, my country, and the whole human race.
Please accept my consecration, dearest Mother, and use me as you wish
to accomplish your designs upon the world.
O Immaculate Heart of Mary, Queen of Heaven and earth,
rule over me, and teach me how to allow the
Heart of Jesus to rule and triumph in me and around me,
as it has ruled and triumphed in you. Amen.
OUR MISSION (With a special thanks to The Blue Army)
In July of 1917, Our Lady told the Fatima Visionaries : "You have seen hell where the souls of poor sinners go. To save them, God wishes to establish devotion to my Immaculate Heart. If what I say to you is done, many souls will be saved and there will be peace…but if people do not cease offending God, a worse war will break out… …To prevent this, I shall come to ask for the consecration of Russia to my Immaculate Heart, and the Communion of reparation on the First Saturdays."
Sister Lucia took very seriously this part of the Secret. By dedicating ourselves to the Immaculate Heart of Mary though the Five First Saturdays devotion, wars, famines, and persecutions of the Church could be averted. "Peace or war depends on [the Five First Saturdays] devotion along with the Consecration," she wrote. In a letter, she showed her concern that Our Lady's request for this devotion was not being faithfully carried out:
"Our Lady promised to postpone the scourge of war if this devotion is spread and practiced. We see her putting off this chastisement in the measure that efforts are being made to spread it. But I am afraid that we are not doing all that we are able to, and that God, in no way satisfied, may raise the arm of His mercy and let the world be ravaged by this punishment, which will be as never has been, horrible, horrible!"
Devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the spread of this devotion worldwide is undoubtedly an essential part of the apparitions at Fatima.
Sister Lucia explained in her book, "Calls" from the Message of Fatima: God began the work of redemption in the Heart of Mary, given that it was through her "fiat" that the redemption began to come about, Thus we see that devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary must be established in the world by means of a true consecration through conversion and self-giving. In the same way, through the consecration, the bread and wine are converted into the Body and Blood of Christ, which were drawn with this very life from the Heart of Mary. Hence, it is that this Immaculate Heart must be for us a refuge and the way that leads to God.
This refuge and this way were proclaimed to all humanity immediately after the fall of our first parents. To the devil, who had tempted the first human beings, and had induced them to disobey the divine order they had been given, the Lord said: "I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel" (Gen. 3, 15). The 'new generation' God foretold would be born of this woman, and will triumph in the battle against the progeny of Satan, to the point of crushing its head. Mary is the Mother of this new generation, as if she were a new tree of life, planted by God in the garden of the world so that all her children can partake of her fruit.
The apparitions at Fatima are an exhortation to prayer as the path of "salvation of souls" and, the summons to penance and conversion.
Our Lady promised, "My Immaculate Heart will triumph," in the end. What does this mean? Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger, as Prefect for the Doctrine of the Faith, explained: The Heart open to God, purified by contemplation of God, is stronger than guns and weapons of every kind. The fiat of Mary, the word of her heart, has changed the history of the world, because it brought the Savior into the world, because, thanks to her Yes, God could become man in our world and remains so at all times. The Evil One has power in this world, as we see and experience continually; he has power because our freedom continually lets itself be led away from God. But since God himself took a human heart and has thus steered human freedom towards what is good, the freedom to choose evil no longer has the last word. From that time forth, the word that prevails is this: "In this world you will have tribulation, but take heart; I have overcome the world" (Jn 16, 33). The message of Fatima invites us to trust in this promise.

A Special Note:
Mystic Post is growing rapidly thanks to our loyal readers, however, it is incredibly challenging to sustain our apostolic mission solely with digital advertising. If you support our apostolic mission of inspiring and encouraging Catholics to discover and help kind Jesus through Our Lady's heart, we humbly invite you to contribute to our Benefactor Campaign — either with a one-off contribution or monthly support.
By supporting us, you are working for Our Lady's triumphant heart and for our Catholic faith. A dedicated team of Catholics like yourself runs Mystic Post. They need your help
Thank you, and welcome to the mission.
Pope John Paul II "The victory if it comes, will come through Mary."
"After my election as Pope, as I became more involved in the problems of the universal Church, I came to a similar conviction: on this universal level, if victory comes it will be brought by Mary. Christ will conquer through her, because He wants the Church's victories now and in the future to be linked to her"
The Triumph of the Immaculate Heart is also the triumph of the Church. The Holy Father has understood and taught that She will bring the new springtime to the Church; then the faith will reappear, the Church will shine, and the heart of Christ will triumph.
Work for the triumph!
"Those who surrender completely to the Immaculate will burn with a powerful love that will set fire to all those around them and will cause many souls to burn with this same love. This is how they will conquer the entire world and each particular soul for the Immaculate. This they will do as quickly as possible" (St. Maximilian Kolbe).
The personal consecration and an authentic life will knock down the structures of sin that exist in our hearts. First, we must make sure of Her triumph in our hearts; this triumph will lead the way to Her triumph in society.
"Until the end of time, we must win the universe and each individual soul, now and in the future, for the Blessed Virgin, and through Her, for the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Those souls will reach a much better and more profound love for the Sacred Heart than ever before. Through their love the world will be set on fire and consumed" (St. Maximilian Kolbe)
I think we should recognize the seriousness of the moment and how much depends on our response to the hour in which we live. Her Immaculate Heart will triumph – how beautiful it would be to know that we were instruments, however small, of that triumph. During our last trip to Fatima with our pilgrims, when saying our farewell to the Blessed Mother in the little chapel of apparitions, we were exhorted to "go and be apostles of her Immaculate Heart."
In other words, we should respond to the call of Our Mother through the means She gives us to reach the triumph of Her Immaculate Heart, and we should, more than ever, make Her known and loved and use the means She gives us for our conversion and the era of peace.

Our Mascot – The Blue Penguin
As we continue to build the Mystic Post brand, we have added a Penguin to our logo. Pope Francis asks us to go to the fringes of society with our faith. He implores us to seek its "peripheries". The penguin symbolizes eternally advancing the Gospa's message of peace and reconciliation throughout the world – including desolate terrains where penguins make their homes. The symbol is a sign of faith that Our Lady's heart will triumph.
Mary wants the world to hear her voice and wants to help us find peace in the world. Mary wants to help us to heal and to help heal the world.
Mystic Post believes we all have a unique mission in life and inside each of us, there exists a drive that moves us constantly on a path towards fulfilling that purpose. Our Blue Penguin, the one who lives so far away, is a symbol that life is a journey and that God is beside us all along the way.

Christ's apostles took the good news of Jesus to far away places. Here is a chart that illustrates where the apostles pursued their missionary work and where they ultimately died. As you can see they went to far away places.

San Francisco 49ers players Eric Reid, Marquise Goodwin and Eli Harold took a knee during the national anthem before their game against the Houston Texans on Sunday at NRG Stadium.
Reid and Harold have been kneeling during the anthem since last season when they joined then-teammate Colin Kaepernick's social justice movement.
Goodwin, who starred at the University of Texas, joined the 49ers in the offseason. Goodwin also took a knee last week alongside Reid.
Reid, who is a devout Christian, has said he kneels because he wants to be a "voice for the voiceless," a lesson from a Bible verse in Proverbs.
"It's the foundation of why we started doing this," Reid told The Associated Press on Oct. 29. "We all have a love for people. The Bible tells us love your brother as yourself so that's why we're doing it.
"We have to speak up for those who can't do it for themselves. My faith is ultimately what led me to start protesting and it's what continues to drive me. Faith without works is dead. I feel like the past year before we started protesting, the Lord has prepped me for this moment."
A majority of Texans players took a knee during the anthem before an October game in Seattle, days after team owner Bob McNair said the NFL shouldn't let "the inmates run the prison." No Texans player has taken a knee since that game.
Several San Francisco 49ers players take a knee during the National Anthem before the start of the first quarter of an NFL football game at NRG Stadium, Sunday, Dec. 10, 2017, in Houston.

New Jersey Remains Strong on the Biopharmaceutical Front
New Jersey is known to many as a pharmaceutical mecca on the international stage with several leading pharmaceutical majors headquartered and/or with operations in the state. So to say that lawmakers need to create an economic climate conducive to foster growth is an understatement.
On Jan. 4, 2012, the HealthCare Institute of New Jersey (HINJ) published a press release which evaluated the results of the 2011 biopharmaceutical and medical technology economic impact survey, a study (conducted by Deloitte) which concluded that the life-sciences industry continued to make up a key sector of New Jersey's overall economy.
Although the responses of five fewer companies-24 in the 2010 survey compared to 19 the following year-generated less meaningful findings for the most recent survey, HINJ President and CEO Dean J. Paranicas pointed to the strong continued growth in New Jersey's bio/pharmaceutical sector. "Although we had 20% fewer companies participating in this year's survey, those that did supply data demonstrate that the life-sciences industry continues to be a major economic driver in New Jersey," said Paranicas. "However, New Jersey continues to face stiff competition from around the world and within the US for our industry's investment. If anything, this data reinforces the need for our leaders in Trenton and Washington to continue to pursue policies that create a more competitive and attractive business climate here, and we look forward to continuing to work with them to achieve this objective."
The study also cited (factoring in the decrease in participation) a total economic impact from reporting HINJ member companies of $24.2 billion in calendar year 2010, as compared to $29.3 billion in calendar year 2009.
Paranicas went on to laud the recent actions taken by Governor [Chris] Christie and the state legislature to make New Jersey more competitive and attractive for life-sciences investment. They include an aggressive and competitive business recruitment and retention program, adopting the single sales factor as the basis for calculating New Jersey's corporate business income tax, and enhancing the Business Employment Incentive Program (BEIP) to promote greater private sector collaboration with New Jersey's universities and colleges.
However, every rose has its thorn. The study pointed out that the number of full-time employees decreased from 55,366 in 2009 to 51,619 in 2010, and capital spending dwindled from $1.5 billion to $0.9 billion during that same span of time. The Whitehouse Station, New Jersey-based Merck & Co. announced the elimination of approximately 13,000 jobs following the second quarter of 2011 as part of a cost-cutting initiative. This continues a workforce-reduction trend for Merck in recent years. According to a July 30, 2011, article from The Wall Street Journal, "[Merck] will have eliminated about 30% of the work force it had at the end of 2009, in the wake of its $41.1-billion acquisition of Schering-Plough."
This reflects the long-growing trend among the industry's financially dominant companies. Expansion in the form of mergers and acquisitions (M&A), without a focused emphasis on R&D to maintain and add to a workable pipeline, will enable access to only a finite amount of prosperity constructed on a delicate foundation of borrowed time. Paranicas pointed out that global R&D spending increased by $6.1 billion-one of the factors that has contributed to the continued success of New Jersey's biopharmaceutical sector, despite some overexpansive M&A miscalculations, and the consequences as a result.

As Russia's HIV/AIDS epidemic spreads, thousands of HIV-positive mothers and their children face pervasive discrimination and abuse. This 41-page report focuses on the discrimination that these women face, as do their children, many of whom are abandoned to the care of the state. Today, as Russia's escalating HIV/AIDS epidemic reaches beyond high-risk groups to the general population, a growing number of expectant mothers and infants have been placed in the path of the virus. Since the Federal AIDS Center in Moscow first started recording these statistics annually in 1997, nearly 10,000 HIV-positive women have given birth, the vast majority of whom had their children since 2002.

Q: Http post losing data when input contains base64 image I am submitting a number of resized base64 images in hidden inputs. Basically after a certain point the $_POST object loses the rest of the data. I am encoding the urls in encodeURICompenent and this appears to be working without checking the complete urls, they have escaped characters.
I have tried different images and it always seems to be at a certain point e.g. image 9 would have incomplete string.
I also changed the post size limit to 1048576000 bytes and the post is 918882 (think its in bytes, couldnt be mbs...) using  $_SERVER['CONTENT_LENGTH'] which equals 1135958 so i dont think its size related. Post ex time is 60secs...
I have the javascript below that populates the hidden input but is there anything else to check? ( i am testing on chrome )
jQuery.when( readFile(value) ).done(function(value) {

        resizeBase64Img(value, 300, 200).done(function(newImg){

             var newurl = encodeURIComponent(newImg[0].src)

 jQuery('#selectedimages').append('<input type="hidden"  name="images['+name.name+']" id="i'+i+'" value="'+newurl+'"/>');

        });

    });//end when

I am not a very good writer, so when I was asked to prepare this essay on nursing, my first reaction was panic. I think it is stupid when your whole carreer depends mostly on writing skills. Thanks to this website I found a way to express my knowledge without showing my terrible writing skills.
Just a couple of bumps with miscommunication, which also was my fault, everything went just perfect. The writer is very patient and attentive to corrections and requests and does everything right, whatever he is asked to. I had a wonderful experience working with you. you are all great!
I've ordered a difficult case study in economics. I needed to get the job done in 1 day. Several similar freelance sites rejected my order because of short time. The companies that agreed to help me demnaded too much money. That company did everything excellent and in time! I was so happy when I was graded A+! Thank you,guys! You're the best!!!!!!!!!!!!
I luved it how quick u sent me this essay on negotiations and conflict resolution. Moreover, I checked in the Internet to make sure the paper is authentic and it turnt out that it is genuine and even more, it is perfectly written. No words, applause!

12.65 acres located on the growing corridor of Highway 249 just north of Spring Cypress. Great accessibility and utilities are readily available. The groundbreaking for the extension of Highway 249 is currently scheduled for September. This will connect Highway 249 to the Grand Parkway and offer improved mobility from I-45 to Highway 59 by 2015. Having this connection makes the newly created accessibility of this site highly desirable in the northwest corridor. Noble Drilling and Swift Energy are just a few of the companies with new or expanded facilities located along Highway 249.

Ernst: What's to be done about texting while driving?
Eric Ernst
Using a cellphone behind the wheel can be more dangerous than being drunk
Car and Driver conducted an interesting test in 2009. It set out to compare reaction times for a driver who's drunk vs. a driver who's texting or reading emails.
The automobile magazine rented a runway in Oscoda, Mich., and recorded driver reactions at 55 mph to a red light mounted on the windshield.
Unimpaired, drivers reacted to the light in 0.54 seconds. Intoxicated, they needed an additional 4 feet; reading an email added 36 feet; and sending a text added 70 feet.
Hardly scientific, the test still verified what the experts and common sense have been telling us for years: In a moving vehicle, distractions such as texting or emailing can be more deadly than driving drunk.
Yet the clamor for reform is nowhere near the outcry that changed attitudes about drunken driving from one generation to the next. Maybe it's time for MADD II, Mothers Against Distracted Driving.
Seriously, the use of smartphones and laptops while driving is probably more pervasive than drinking and driving ever was.
About 25 percent of the drivers on the road "regularly" or "fairly often" talk on cellphones; the figure rises to 40 percent among drivers ages 18-29, according to surveys conducted by the National Highway and Traffic Safety Administration. Nine percent say they also text or email while driving. Again, among the younger crowd, 25 percent report engaging often in those activities.
The reason we should care about these statistics is another NHTSA statistic. Drivers who text are 23 times more likely to have an accident than those who don't text.
So on our roadways we have a rampant behavior that endangers our lives. What do we do?
State legislatures across the country have taken a shot at it. Thirty-nine states now have laws that prohibit texting behind the wheel.
Florida is not one of them, although state Sen. Nancy Detert, R-Venice, has tried for three years. In part because the restriction is viewed as an affront to personal liberty, her bills have never come to a floor vote.
She says chances of passage are better this year, and state Rep. Doug Holder, R-Osprey, has sponsored a companion bill in the House.
However, although Detert's intentions are good, we'd better not put too much stock in saving lives through such bans.
At least one study, published in 2010 by the Highway Loss Data Institute, an insurance industry affiliate, suggests that texting bans can actually increase the frequency of collision claims.
Researchers who looked at before and after numbers in California, Louisiana, Minnesota and Washington found that crashes rose from 1 percent in Washington to 9 percent in Minnesota, after the states passed texting-while-driving prohibitions.
The greatest increase, 12 percent, came from California drivers younger than 25.
Researchers suspect that drivers, in an effort to hide their texting from law enforcement, were placing their cellphones at a lower level. Shifting their attention downward made their texting even more hazardous.
It makes sense, in a twisted human way.
The study also shows there is little public buy-in for the bans. After all, when we think of an individual who can text, send emails and talk on the phone while driving, we do not envision an accident waiting to happen. We see an on-the-go professional, someone using precious time efficiently.
It's going to take time and a shift in attitude, not laws, to change that perspective.
