These words are directing you to God. Let me make this clear — The Church still debates over these visions and these are no way the dogma or the defining point of The Faith, neither is the Turin shroud for example. I, personally, do not focus on these apparitions or even glance at them — their credence and/or veracity neither add to nor subtract from my faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, but I do say that they are not satanic in their intent and purpose.

No they are not. They are directing toward the purported Mary as a figure of salvation and power. Then she (in the Roman tradition) is supposed to direct you toward God.

The ONLY figure of salvation and power is the Christ. The whole of the Prophecy proclaims it. Ergo, the prophecy in question leads AWAY from the Truth, not toward it. NO creature has the power ascribed by this "being". No creature can have the power to promise in the first person. No creature has the right to have anything consecrated to it, not to mention whole nations.

It is false on it's face, with nary a doubt or defense.

Yes, you do well to distance yourself from this monstrous vision. If it is not of God, not of Christ's testimony (which is the Spirit of Prophecy), the only other thing it could be is Antichrist.
