In Our Lady's of Fatima's message during her second Apparition she tells the children on June 13th, 1917: “My Immaculate Heart will be your refuge and the way which will lead you to God.” They saw at the time: "Our Lady have a Heart in her hand, spreading out over the world that great light which is God." Living Fatima
There has also been a lot of talk about refuges, and our Lady's role in them, in the present day seers and prophets. They've been recorded well on Countdown to the Kingdom. There is also a very good summary to be found there about physical vs spiritual refuges, Are There Physical Refuges? I am exploring this topic from the revelations found in the writings of Luisa concerning the tremendous role that Our Lady is revealed to play in being our true refuge. In order to be a true refuge Our Lady must have the means, the motivation and the command from God.
Jesus tells Luisa that in the conception of the Holy Virgin, God also conceived all creatures in her heart. And bilocating she is conceived in each creature so that each might have a mother of their own. So she, from the very beginning has had the love of a Mother toward everyone. She raises each, nourishes each, sustains each, and she also goes so far as to love God for each, compensating God for all that is due him for each. She is the one who harmonizes the love of all creatures and invests all creation with her love in order to make of it one love alone to present before God. The fullness of her dowry of acts is offered to each creature to make up for what ever they might be lacking for any who would place themselves under her protection and care.
"...The Prodigies are Unheard-of. The Surprises that I will narrate to you will astonish everyone. I feel the need of Love to make known what thing We have done with this Celestial Mother, and the Great Good that all the generations have received. Therefore you must know that in the Act of Conceiving this Holy Virgin. Our Divine Will that possesses everything, and with Its immensity embraces everything and possesses the All-Seeingness of all the possible and imaginable beings, and with Its Virtue all Its own, that when It Operates It always does Universal Work, as She was therefore Conceived, with It Creative Virtue It called all creatures to be conceived in the Heart of this Virgin.
But it was not enough for Our Love. Giving into the most incredible Excesses, It made this Virgin Conceived in every creature so that each one would have a Mother to himself, all his. They would feel Her Maternity in the depth of their souls. Her Love that while She holds them, more than children, conceived in Her self, Bilocating Herself She Conceives Herself in every creature in order to place Herself at their disposition so as to raise them, guide them, free them from dangers, and with Her Maternal Power feed them the milk of Her Love and the food with which She nourishes Herself, that is, the Divine Fiat. Out Will, having Free Life in Her, Its Total Dominion, with Its Power, It called everything into this Celestial Creature in order to have the Joy of seeing everyone contained in Her, in order to hear Her say: 'They are already all in Me, My and Your children, therefore I Love You for everyone.' Then She Bilocated Herself in everyone and in each one in order to make felt in every soul the Love of this Daughter of Ours, All Beautiful and All Love.
We can say: 'There is no creature in whom She does not take the pledge of Loving Us." Our Fiat elevated Her so much, as to give everything to Her. And even from the first instant of Her Life. We constituted Her Queen of Our Fiat, Queen of Our Love. And when She Loved Us, Her Maternity was felt in Her Love, and it harmonized with the Love of all creatures. And O! how Beautiful it was that She formed of everything One Single Love. How She Wounded Us, Felicitated Us, even to feeling Ourselves languish.
Her Love disarmed Us, it made us see all created things - sky, sun, earth, seas, and creatures - covered and hidden in Her Love. O! how Beautiful it was to see Her, feel Her that She acted as Mother in every creature, and forming in them Her Sea of Love, She sent Her notes, Her arrows. Her Loving darts to Her Creator. And acting as True Mother She brought them to Us, even to before Our Throne, in the Sea of Her Love, in order to make Us look at them, so as to render Us Favorable. And with the Strength of Our Divine Volition She imposed Herself over Us, She placed them in Our Arms, She made Us caress and Kiss them, and She made Us give Surprising Graces. How many Sanctities were formed and impetrated by this Celestial Mother, and in order to be sure, Her Love remained to watch.
...
She Loved Us and rendered Her Maternity extendable to all creatures: In every Act that She did, if She Loved, Prayed, Adored, if She Suffered, everything, even the breath, the heartbeat, the step, being Our Fiat, were Triumphs and Victories that Our Supreme Being made in the Acts of the Virgin. The Celestial Lady Triumphed and Conquered in God, in every instant of Her Admirable and Prestigious Life. They were Triumphs and Victories between God and the Virgin. But this is nothing. Acting as true Mother She called all her children, and She covered and hid all their acts in Hers, and She covered them with Her Triumphs and with Her Victories, giving all Her acts as Dowry, with all Her Victories and Triumphs. And then, with a Tenderness and Love as to break hearts and feel Ourselves Conquered, She told Us: 'Adorable Majesty, look at them, they are all My children. My Victories and Triumphs are of My children, they are My Conquests that I give to them. And if the Mama has Conquered and Triumphed, the children have Conquered and Triumphed.'
And so many Triumphs and Victories She did in God, for however many acts all creatures would have done, such that all can say: 'I am provided with a Dowry by the Acts of My Queen Mama, and for Seal She has Invested them for me with Her Triumphs and Victories that She made with Her Creator.' In fact, one who wants to make himself holy, finds the Dowry of his Celestial Mother and Her Triumphs and Victories in order to arrive at the greatest Sanctity. The weak one finds the Strength of the Sanctity of his Mama and Her Triumphs in order to be strong. The afflicted, the suffering one, finds the Gift of the sufferings of his Celestial Mother in order to obtain the Triumph, the Victory, of resignation. The sinner finds the Victory and the Triumph of pardon. In sum, everyone finds in this Sovereign Queen the Dowry, the support, the help for the state in which they find themselves. And O! how Beautiful it is. It is the most moving scene, enrapturing and enchanting to see this Celestial Mother in every creature, that She acts as Mama. We feel that She Loves and prays in Her children. This is the Greatest Prodigy among Heaven and earth, Greater Good We could not give to the creatures.
Now My daughter, I must tell you a Sorrow of the Celestial Mother: to so much Love of Hers, the ingratitude of creatures. This Dowry that with so many sacrifices, even to the heroism of the Sacrifice of the Life of Her Son-God with so many atrocious sufferings, some do not know it; some hardly take a small interest, and they live poor in sanctity. And O! how She Suffers in seeing Her children poor. To possess Immense riches of Love, of Grace of Sanctity - because they are not material riches, but the riches of this Celestial Mother are riches that She has placed Her Life in order to acquire for them - and not to see them possessed by her children, and to hold them without the Purpose for which She had acquired them, is a continuous Sorrow. And therefore She wants to make this Great Good known to everyone, because if it is not known, it cannot be possessed. And since She acquired these Dowries in virtue of the Divine Fiat that Reigned in Her, that Loved Her so much that It let Her do what She wanted, and anywhere She would want to reach, for the Good of creatures, so it will be My Reigning Divine Volition that will make them aware of these Celestial Dowries, and will let them take possession. Therefore pray that a Good so Great be known and wanted by creatures."

Also in The Virgin Mary in the Kingdom of the Divine Will, by Luisa Piccarreta there are numerous mentions of our Lady's role as Mother to all that call on her. In her opening appeal she promises that as long as one lives united to her, that is in the Divine Will, she will be their strength and comfort. She will aide and nourish and take care of all of their needs, taking on the commitment to make them happy. She could not do this unless truly she has command of the fount of all grace.
I come to invite you to enter into the Kingdom of your Mama – that is, the Kingdom of the Divine Will; and I knock at the door of your heart, that you may open it to Me. You know? With my own hands I bring you this book as gift; I offer it to you with maternal care, so that, in your turn, in reading it, you may learn to live of Heaven and no longer of earth.
This book is of gold, my child. It will form your spiritual fortune, your happiness, also terrestrial. In it you will find the fount of all goods: if you are weak, you will acquire strength; if you are tempted, you will achieve victory; if you have fallen into sin, you will find the pitying and powerful hand that will lift you up again. If you feel afflicted, you will find comfort; if cold, the sure means to get warm; if hungry, you will enjoy the delicious food of the Divine Will. With it you will lack nothing; you will no longer be alone, because your Mama will keep you sweet company, and with Her every maternal care She will take on the commitment of making you happy. I, the Celestial Empress, will take care of all your needs, provided that you consent to live united with Me.
THE VIRGIN MARY IN THE KINGDOM OF THE DIVINE WILL, Maternal Appeal of the Queen of Heaven
Mary received the double Maternity of God and of creatures even before she was aware that she was to be the Mother of God. This Maternity forms her desire to lay down her life for each and for all to bring about peace between God and all creatures, wanting to bring all creatures into safety.
Now, my dearest child, my little Heart felt consumed with love at the loving ways of the divine speaking; and with all my love I accepted Their mandate, saying to Them: “Highest Majesty, I am here in your arms; dispose of Me in whatever way You want. I will lay down even my life - and if I had as many lives for as many as are the creatures, I would put them at their disposal and Yours, to bring them, all safe, into your paternal arms.” And without knowing then that I was to be the Mother of the Divine Word, I felt in Me the double Maternity: Maternity toward God, to defend His just rights; Maternity toward creatures, to bring them to safety. I felt Myself Mother of all. The Divine Will which reigned in Me, and which knows not how to do isolated works, brought God and all creatures from all centuries into Me. In my maternal Heart I felt my God offended, wanting to be satisfied, and I felt the creatures under the empire of Divine Justice. Oh! how many tears I shed. I wanted to make my tears descend into each heart, to let everyone feel my Maternity, all of love. I cried for you and for all, my child.
THE VIRGIN MARY IN THE KINGDOM OF THE DIVINE WILL. Day Eight. The Queen of Heaven in the Kingdom of the Divine Will receives the Mandate from Her Creator to place in Safety the Destiny of Mankind.
And again here she confirms that she is to be the Peacemaker between God and man. God has placed the destiny of mankind into her hands giving her the mandate to reconcile God and man.
Now, in the middle of our loving stratagems, I remembered the painful state of my human family upon earth, for I too was of their offspring - and how I grieved and prayed that the Eternal Word would descend and put a remedy to it. And I would say this with such tenderness as to reach the point of changing smile and feast into crying. The Most High was so moved by my tears, more so, since they were the tears of a little one; and pressing Me to the divine bosom, They dried my tears and said to Me: “Daughter, do not cry, pluck up courage. Into your hands We have placed the destiny of mankind; We gave You the mandate, and now, to console You more, We make of You the Peacemaker between Us and the human family. So, to You it is given to reconcile us. The power of Our Will that reigns in You compels Us to give the kiss of peace to poor humanity, decayed and unsafe.”
Who can tell you, my child, what my Heart felt at this divine condescension? My love was so great that I felt faint and, in delirium, I was restless, looking for more love as relief for my love.
Now a word to you, my child. If you listen to Me by banishing your will and giving the royal place to the Divine Fiat, you too will be loved with striking love by your Creator; you will be His smile, you will put Him in feast, and will be bond of peace between the world and God.
The Queen of Heaven in the Kingdom of the Divine Will. Day Nine, The Queen of heaven in the kingdom of the Divine Will. Dawn that rises to put to flight the night of the human will. Her glorious birth.
Faced with their failings from abandoning Jesus, the Apostles turn to Mary. Mary specifically refers to her Heart as the ark of refuge and of salvation. She confirms that the destiny of all her children has been given to her from God.
Blessed child of my maternal Heart, great was my joy and my triumph in the Resurrection of my Son; I felt reborn and risen again in Him. All my sorrows changed into joy and into seas of graces, of light, of love, of forgiveness for creatures, and laid my Maternity over all my children, given to Me by Jesus, with the seal of my sorrows.
Now listen to Me, dear child: you must know that after the death of my Son I withdrew in the cenacle, together with beloved John and Magdalene. But my Heart was pierced because only John was near Me, and in my sorrow I said: “And the other Apostles - where are they?”
But as they heard that Jesus had died, touched by special graces, all moved and weeping, one by one, the fugitives drew around Me, surrounding Me like a crown; and with tears and sighs, they asked for my forgiveness for they had so cravenly abandoned their Master, and had run away from Him. I welcomed them maternally in the ark of refuge and salvation of my Heart; I assured all of them of the forgiveness of my Son, and I encouraged them not to fear. I said to them that their destiny was in my hands, because He had given them all to Me as my children, and I recognized them as such.
The Queen of Heaven in the Kingdom of the Divine Will. Day Twenty-nine, The Hour of the Triumph. Apparitions of Jesus. The Fugitives cling around the Virgin as the Ark of Salvation and of Forgiveness. Jesus departs for Heaven.
And again in The Queen of Heaven, Mary states that she continues her magisterium, that is her role in interpreting and revealing the Word. She refers to her children taking refuge in the safe boat of her arms and that it is she who "will make the Holy Spirit descend into your soul, that He may burn away from you all that is human; and by His refreshing breath, He may rule over you and confirm you in the Divine Will." So that she has the authority to reveal the Word of God, the authority to place in safety those whom she will, and the authority to send the Holy Spirit to sanctify those whom she will.
My dearest child, you must know that I still continue my magisterium in the Church - there is nothing which does not descend from Me. I can say that I pour my own self out for love of my children, and I nourish them with my maternal milk. Now, during these times, I want to display a yet more special love by making known how my whole life was formed in the Kingdom of the Divine Will. Therefore I call you onto my knees, into my maternal arms, so that, forming a boat for you, you may be sure to live in the sea of the Divine Will. Greater grace I could not give you. O please! I pray you, make your Mama content - come to live in this Kingdom so holy. And when you see that your will would want to have some act of life, come and take refuge in the safe boat of my arms, saying to Me: “My Mama, my will wants to betray me, and I deliver it to You, that you may put the Divine Will in its place.”
Oh, how happy I will be if I am able to say: “My child is all mine, because she lives of Divine Will.” And I will make the Holy Spirit descend into your soul, that He may burn away from you all that is human; and by His refreshing breath, He may rule over you and confirm you in the Divine Will.

Jesus tells Luisa that as Mary extended her maternity over all of Jesus' internal and external acts so she has been given the mandate to do the same with all creatures. So she is the Mother of every single act of the creature in order to put all into safety. Jesus states that this is one of the greatest graces that he has given mankind but to his sorrow many refuse it.
“Now, you must know that as my inseparable Mama extended her maternity inside and outside of my humanity, thus I constituted her and confirmed her Mother of every single thought of the creature, of every breath, of every heartbeat, of every word, and I made her maternity extend in the works, in the steps, in all their sufferings. Her maternity races everywhere; in the perils of falling into sin, she races, covers them with her maternity, so that they don’t fall, and if they have fallen, she leaves her maternity as help and defense in order to have them rise again; her maternity races and extends itself over the souls that want to be good and holy as if she might find her Jesus in them, she does as Mother to their intelligence, she guides their words, covers and hides them in her maternal love in order to raise so many other Jesus’s. Her maternity makes (a) display over the beds of the dying, and making use of the rights of authority of Mother from me she gives (to) them, she says to me with (an) accent so tender that I can not deny her: ‘My Son, I am Mother, and they are my children, I must put them into safety, if you don’t concede this to me my maternity goes (swept) under/(is undermined) by it’; and while she says this, she covers them with her love, hides them in her maternity in order to put them into safety.
“My love was so much that I said to her: ‘My mother, I want that you be the Mother of everyone, and that which you have done for me you will do to all creatures; let your maternity be extended in all their acts, in a way that all I will see is covered and hidden in your maternal love.’ My Mama accepted and remained confirmed that not only should she be Mother of everyone, but to invest every act of theirs with her maternal love. This was one of greatest graces that I did to all the human generations, but how many sorrows doesn’t my Mama receive? They arrive to not want to receive her maternity, to refuse to acknowledge her; and therefore all heaven prays(,) awaits with anxiety that the Divine Will be known and reigns; and then the great Queen, will do to the children of my Volition that which she did to her Jesus, her maternity will have life in her children.
“I will surrender my place to one who lives in my Volition in her maternal Heart. She will raise them in me, will guide their steps, will hide them in her maternity and sanctity; one will see impressed in all their acts her maternal love and her sanctity; they will be her true children, that will resemble me in everything. And oh, how she would love that everyone might know that one who wants to live in my Volition has a Queen and powerful Mother that will make up for that which they lack, she will raise them in her maternal womb, in all that which they will do she will be together with them in order to model their acts to hers, so much so that they will know that they are children raised, guarded, educated by the love of the maternity of my Mama! And these will be (those) that will render her content(ment), her glory and her honor.”
Fiat!!!
Vol. 36, December 28, 1938
In the Volumes Jesus states that for the "deadly times to come" he has placed everyone into the hands of our Lady, giving her the command. She will mark each as she wants so that even death won't have power over them. So that Mary would be the one to control their destinies, not just spiritually but also physically.
You should know that I always love my children, my beloved creatures, I would eviscerate Myself in order not to see them stricken, so much so that in the deadly times to come, I have put them all in the hands of my Celestial Mama, to Her I have entrusted them, so that she holds them for Me under her secure mantle, I will give (to Her) all those that She will want, death itself won’t have power over those that will be in (the) custody of my Mama.”
Now while he said this, my dear Jesus made me see with facts that the Sovereign Queen descended from Heaven with an indescribable Majesty, and a tenderness all Maternal, and turned in the midst of creatures, in all the nations and marked her dear children and those that should not be touched by the scourges, whomever my Celestial Mama touched, the scourges didn’t have power to touch the creatures. Sweet Jesus gave the right to his Mama to put in safety whom She pleased. How moving it was to see the Celestial Empress turn in all the parts of the world that she took between (her) Maternal hands, she assembled them to her breast, hid them under her mantle, so that not one evil might be able to harm those people that her Maternal goodness held in her custody, guarded and defended. Oh! If everyone might be able to see with how much love and tenderness the Celestial Queen did this office, they would cry from consolation and would love She who so very loves us.
Vol. 33, June 6, 1935
Mary tells Luisa that her life, virtues and sorrows will be at the disposal of her children and that her motives are not just to put all creatures into safety and not just to act as a peacemaker between God and man, supplying for all that is lacking. It is to bring about the Kingdom of the Divine Will and to have her children living in it. Only then will she rest and have her triumph, only then will there be true peace between God and man, only then will mankind be truly safe.
“You must know that so much is my love and my ardent anxieties that I want that this kingdom exists upon the earth, that I descend from Heaven, turn through souls in order to see who remains more disposed to live of Divine Volition, I do for them (as a) spy, and when I see them disposed I enter in their hearts and I form my life in them, as preparation, honor and decorum of that Fiat that will take possession and will form his life in them. Therefore I will be inseparable from them, I will put my Life, my love, my virtues, my sorrows, at their disposition, as (a) wall of insurmountable fortitude, so that they can find in their Mother that which is needed in order to live in this kingdom so holy.
“And then my feast will be complete, my love will rest in my children, my Maternity will find one who loves me as child, and I will give surprising graces and I will put all Heaven and earth in feast, I will do as (a) Queen lavishing unheard of graces. Therefore my daughter, you will remain united with your Mama, so that you pray and yearn with me for the kingdom of the Divine Will.”

Only one who lives in the Divine Will can partake in all the fullness of the prodigies of the Virgin Mary and in all her merits, love, nobility and sanctity. The one who lives in the Divine Will becomes enclosed in the Maternal Heart of the Virgin Mary or as she said, in her refuge. This refuge is the center of all of Our Lady's acts and all of these acts become the creature's defense for the one that lives in the Divine Will united to her,
Jesus to Luisa,
...you have seen the conception of the Sovereign Queen, and how you being in my Will, you have found yourself conceived in her Maternal Heart, you see the great difference for who lives in my Volition, the prodigies of the Immaculate Conception were unheard of. My Will that animated this conception, which no one can escape from Him, called present all creatures, so that they might remain conceived in her virgin Heart, and might receive her maternity, her help, her defense, they might find the refuge, the support in this Celestial Mother.
“Now who lives in our Volition, finds herself in the act that conceives, she is the daughter that spontaneous of her will, searches her Mama, and takes her place, encloses herself in her Maternal Heart, in order to let the Celestial Queen do to her as Mama. Now this one will take part in the riches of the Sovereign Queen, in her merits, in her love, she will feel in herself the nobility, the sanctity of Her, because she knows to whom it pertains, and God will make her participant of the infinite goods and the exuberant love that was in the conception of this Holy Creature. And thus with all our works, as the creature searches them, she calls them in our Will in order to know them and love them, we call in act our works, we put her in the center of them, we make her feel and experience all our love, the power of our creative strength, and the littleness of the creature undergoes it, it fills her even to not being able to contain anymore.
Vol. 34, April 21, 1936
Mary never lost an instant from the moment of her conception to love God. With enough love magnified to love God for everyone and to give love to everyone. True happiness originates from the dose of love that God deposits in the soul. And Mary possessed the sea of happiness, enough for all creatures.
“Now my daughter, the Immaculate Queen from the first instant of her conception, given that she felt in herself the love for her Creator and our working Will more than her own life, she loved us so much that she didn’t lose an instant without loving us, and with loving us and re-loving us she magnified so much this dose of love, as to be able to love us for everyone, and to give love to everyone, and to love everyone always without ever ceasing; you should know that our love is so much, that with putting this dose of love in the creature we put the germ/seed of happiness inside of her, because true happiness must hold its royal place inside of the soul, happiness outside if it doesn’t reside within, it can not be called true happiness, rather it embitters the poor creature and is as an impetuous wind, that immediately disperses it, no sooner leaving the traces converted into thorns that embitter her, not so the happiness within put (there) by us, it is lasting and always grows; and then to love felicitates oneself and felicitates us, who doesn’t love can not ever be happy, who doesn’t love doesn’t have any purpose nor interest in completing work, nor feels the heroism of doing good to anyone, the sacrifice that gives the most beautiful tints to the love doesn’t exist for her.
“Whence the Most Holy Virgin possessed the sea of happiness, because she possessed so many lives of love for how many creatures exist, not only, but with never doing her will, but always mine, she formed so many lives of my Will in Her, in a way that she can give to each creature a life of love and a life of Divine Volition. Behold therefore with right she is Queen of love and Queen of the Supreme Will. Therefore the Sovereign Queen loves, longs to bring forth these lives in order to deposit them in creatures and form the kingdom of pure love and the kingdom of our Will, and thus she will arrive to the maximum point of loving her Creator, and to the maximum point of loving and of doing good to creatures.”

The Divine Will wants His Kingdom to come, and His Queen, Mary, also continually prays for it. Her prays are commands to God since she prays with his own Will. Even more because she is the Queen of Heaven and the Divine Will reigns in her she already possesses the Kingdom and what she possesses she can give. She will put forth all her seas of grace to obtain the Kingdom of the Divine Will so much so that it will be called "the Kingdom of the Celestial Empress... She will give unheard of graces, surprises never seen, miracles that will shake Heavens and earth, we will give Her the whole field free, because she will form for Us the Kingdom of our Will upon the earth." With a champion such as Mary we can confide all our trust.
Jesus to Luisa,
“My daughter, and yet it will come, you measure the human one, the sad times that involve the present generations and therefore it seems difficult to you, but the Supreme Being holds the Divine measures, which are so very long that that which to the human is impossible to Us it is easy. We should not do other than (as) an impetuous wind which will be so very strong that they will make carried by the currents of the wind, that will purify the unhealthy air of the human will and of all the sad things of these times, it will make of it a heap and will disperse it as dust invested by an impetuous wind. Our wind will be so very strong, impetuous and working that it will not prove easy to resist him, more so that his waves will be stuffed full of graces, of light, of love that will drown the human generations and they will feel themselves transformed. How many times doesn’t a strong wind remove (an) entire city and transports men, trees, earth, water, to other places and perhaps also distant, without them being able to oppose it? More so our Divine wind, wanted, decreed by Us with our creative strength. And then there is the Queen of Heaven that prays continually with her empire that the Kingdom of the Divine Will comes upon the earth, and when ever have we denied Her anything? Her prayers are impetuous winds for Us, that we can not resist her and the same strength that She possesses of our Will is for Us empire, command, She holds the whole right to impetrate it, because she possessed him in earth and possesses him in Heaven, hence as possessor she can give that which is hers, so much so that this Kingdom will be called the Kingdom of the Celestial Empress, she will do as Queen in the midst of her children in earth, she will put at their disposition her seas of graces, of sanctity, of power, she will put in flight all enemies, she will raise them in her womb, she will hide them in her light, covering them with her love, feeding them with her own hands, with the food of the Divine Will. What won’t this Mother and Queen do in the midst of this her Kingdom, as her children and as her people? She will give unheard of graces, surprises never seen, miracles that will shake Heavens and earth, we will give Her the whole field free, because she will form for Us the Kingdom of our Will upon the earth, she will be the guide, the true model, the Kingdom of the Sovereign Celestial Queen will be pure. Therefore you also pray together with Her and in her time you will obtain the intent.”
Vol 33, July 14, 1935
So how is it that Mary can call herself true refuge? Jesus tells Luisa that even from the moment of the conception of the Immaculate Virgin, God centralized everything in her, past and future. She was nourished, embellished, confirmed and strengthened continually by the Word and held in the refuge of his Humanity. So she, who is held in the refuge of Jesus, is the ordained to be the refuge for mankind.
“I want to honor my Celestial Mother, I want to narrate the story of her Immaculate Conception, only I can speak of it because Author of a prodigy so great. Now my daughter, the first act of this conception was one Fiat of ours pronounced with such solemnity and with such fullness of graces as to enclose everything and everyone, we centralized everything in this conception of the Virgin in our Divine Fiat, what doesn’t exist past and future, the incarnation of the Word held present, and made her conceived and incarnated in the same incarnation of me, future Redeemer, my Blood that was in act, as if I myself was scattering it, watered her, embellished her, confirmed her, strengthened her continually in a Divine way.
“But it was not enough to my love, all her acts, words and steps were first conceived in my acts, words and steps and then they had life. My Humanity was the refuge, the hideaway, the incorporation of this Celestial Creature. So that if she loved us, her love was incarnated and conceived in my love, and oh, how her love loved us, it enclosed everything and everyone, I can say that she loved as a God knows how to love, she had our same follies of love for us, and for all creatures and that loving one time, she loves, loves always, without ever ceasing, her prayer was conceived in my prayer and therefore it had an immense value, a power over our Supreme Being, and who could deny her anything? Her sufferings, her sorrows, her martyrdoms, that were so many, first they were conceived in my Humanity and then she felt in herself the life of the sufferings and the excruciating martyrdoms, all animated by Divine strength. Whence one can say she was conceived in me, from me went forth her life, all that which I did and suffered lined up around this Holy creature in order to court her and to pour myself continually over Her and to be able to say to her: you are the Life of my Life, you are all beautiful, you are the first redeemed, my Divine Fiat has molded you, has breathed you forth and has made you conceived in my works, in my Humanity itself.
Vol. 34, December 8, 1936
Mary has been given the mandate to be the peacemaker between God and mankind. She has the been given the command as Queen of Heaven to bring about this Kingdom. She has the motivation of Mother of all and the means to be a Mother to each. Her every act was done in the fullness of love to God for all and for each and she can supply for each of her children all that they are lacking. She has the destiny of all mankind in her hands as given to her by God. She can provide both spiritually and physically for all our needs. Truly Mary is the True Refuge of Mankind to those who will be united with her in the Divine Will of God.
I believed this post to be done but today God seemed to wish to put an addendum on to this post. Today while in adoration I read:
... the anxieties, the sighs, the avidity of my Fiat are incessant, he would move Heavens and earth, he would not spare anything, provided that the creature might live in harmony with Him and she might be possessor of his own goods.
“Beyond this, all that which we have done as much in the Creation as in the Redemption, is all in act to give itself to man, they hang over his head, but they are as suspended, without being able to give, because he doesn’t know them, and he doesn’t call them, and he doesn’t love them, in order to enclose them in his soul, in order to receive such a good.
“Now who possesses our Volition, our works, all my Life that I passed down here, it finds the refuge, the space, the room where to be able to continue my life, my works, and the soul acquires the practicing act and converts into nature his works and my life. So that this creature is the refuge of our sanctity, of our love and the life of our Will. And when our love not being able to contain it, wants to give in excesses, we find refuge in her and we give vent to our love, and we pour such charismas of graces, that the Heavens stupefied and trembling adore our working Divine Will in the creature.”

Mary is given the mandate to be the refuge for all creatures as she is held in the refuge of Jesus.

11 ... so that they may be one as we are one. ... 16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of it. 17 Sanctify them by[d] the truth; your word is truth. 18 As you sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world. 19 For them I sanctify myself, that they too may be truly sanctified. 20 “My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, 21 that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 22 I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one— 23 I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.
Jn 17:11, 16-23
