DAY -11
Message of Blessed Virgin Mary
My Dear Children,
Your souls are about to receive exceptional grace. On the feast day of Annunciation (and similar occasions), God the Father shall rain grace on you. I am going to gather as one, my chosen flock and the chosen shepherds. Be one team for the sake of my triumph. I place my hope in you. I entrust my Immaculate Heart also with you. The saving grace for mankind now lies in you.
Pray intensely for the Vicar of my Son and regard him in a special way. Similarly, offer all your joys and sufferings as your special offerings for the consecration you are going to make. Cover yourselves in virtues. Give others greater importance than you give to yourselves. God the Father sees your soul. Where he finds love and mercy, He sends His love and mercy. He gives His justice where justice is seen.
Bring together this army of mine, for the battle that awaits you is about to begin. Dear children, let me stress it that I am your mother and you are my children. I have given my heart to you. So give me yours. Whatever you may be, I shall mould you into what God wants you to be.
The Way Forward
The Divine Grace binds us together. As our Mother tells us, this is the time when the hearts are exchanged. The soul becomes transformed. The change will be experienced by the soul when the consecration is made authentically, with true love. The changes occur in the heavenly realm. It is God’s will that the soul completes the consecration.
Action Plan
The foundation of spiritual life is keeping the soul in the presence of God. This has three distinct results: avoidance of sins, practice of virtues, and union with God. God’s presence preserves the soul from sin, leads it to practice virtues, and binds the soul to God with the cord of love. The soul realizes that God sees the mind that thinks, hears spoken words, and observes all actions.
The soul that feels God’s presence will strive to please God, and not those around him. Thus virtue shall grow in him. The soul will keep on growing rapidly, because love grows in the presence of the object loved. These gifts shall reach you from the Holy Spirit in your consecration.
Prayer
O Immaculate Heart of Mary, bless me with your boon to love you through the remainder of my entire life. I may become totally yours. Take my heart to the presence of your Son so that the flame of my love for Him may increase. Help me in the practice of virtues. Deposit strength and courage in my soul, so that my being and life reflects you in this world. Mould me into a mighty warrior of your triumph among your hosts. Bless this world with the graces of your triumph. I pray for these gifts from you at my consecration.
Word of God
“Let the deserts and the dry lands be glad, let the wasteland rejoice and bloom; like the asphodel, let it burst into flower, let it rejoice and sing for joy. The glory of Lebanon is bestowed on it, the splendour of Carmel and Sharon; then they will see the glory of Yahweh, the splendour of our God.” (Isaiah 35:1-2)..
2. Apostles’ Creed
I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, Our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried; He descended into hell; the third day He rose from the dead; He ascended into heaven, sits at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body and life everlasting. Amen.
3. Daily Consecration
Holy Mary, my queen and my mother, I offer myself totally to you. I offer very specially my eyes, ears, tongue and my heart, for your special protection. From now onwards, you are mother to me as I am yours. Guard me forever. Amen.
4. The Angelus
V. The Angel of the Lord declared unto Mary.
R. And she conceived of the Holy Spirit.
Hail Mary, full of grace! The Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
V. Behold the handmaid of the Lord.
R. Be it done unto me according to thy word.
Hail Mary…

Hail Mary…
V. Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God.

V. Let us pray.
R. Pour forth, we beseech Thee, O Lord, Thy grace into our hearts that we, to whom the Incarnation of Christ thy Son was made known by the message of an angel, may by His passion and Cross be brought to the Glory of His resurrection through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.
