Update on the Internet Effort for Anna Von Reitz and America

By Paul Stramer

Most of you know that I am the webmaster for the www.annavonreitz.com website and the owner and moderator of this blog, which features Anna's writings and offers a platform for people to question and comment on her ideas, and once in awhile my own ideas as well.

Today (June 23, 2017) I want to give you a sort of progress report and some statistics on the traffic and other aspects of this Internet endeavor for America.

When we started this almost 2 years ago, I knew it would be a challenge just from reading the articles Anna was writing at the time. I knew her perspective was unique and she had some information that no one else was writing about. I scoured the Internet to find every article she had written at that point and tried to arrange them in chronological order on a single page index at the domain name annavonreitz.com so that people could actually do one search on a search engine for her name and find everything she was writing.  As time went on we gradually improved the website to include search features and products, and a few documents.

Rev. Fr. Leonard Goffine's The Church's Year ORIGIN OF THIS FESTIVAL After many devout souls had venerated the Sacred Heart of Jesus, with sincere devotion, in the solitude of quiet life, as is seen in the lives of SS..Augustine, Bernard, Bonaventura, Thomas of Aquin, Francis de Sales, Ignatius, Clara, Gertrude, Mechtild, Catharine of Sienna, Theresa, and others, our divine Saviour willed that His heart's infinite love should be recognized by all men, and be kindled in cold hearts by a new fire of love. For this end He made use of a feeble, obscure instrument, that all the world might know that the devotion to His loving heart; previously almost entirely unknown, was His own work. This instrument, disregarded by the world, was one who shone before God in all 'the radiance of the most sublime virtues; the nun Margaret Alacoque of the order of the Visitation of Mary, at Paray, in Burgundy. In the year 1675, whilst she was one day in prayer before the Blessed Sacrament; our Lord appeared to her, and pointing to His heart which He showed to her, surrounded with flames, surmounted by the cross, encircled with a crown of thorns, and pierced with a gaping wound, He said to her: "Behold this heart, which has loved mankind so much, and which receives only ingratitude and coldness in return for its love. My desire is that you should make reparation to my heart for this ingratitude, and induce others also to make reparation." Our Lord then designated the Friday after the Octave of Corpus Christi as the special day for this duty. In several subsequent apparitions our divine Lord repeated this injunction, and made the most unbounded promises in favor' of all who would apply themselves to this office of reparation to His Sacred Heart. The following are some of His promises;
