DAY – 13
Message of Blessed Virgin Mary
Dear children,
I am waiting for your response which to me is very precious. I invite you to my Immaculate Heart, so that you become my children. Your hearts will be a joy of my times to come. I want to be with each one of you, so that I can guide you and protect you. Children, listen to me carefully. Receive my heart too. I have only one wish which is to bring you to sanctification. This is also the greatest desire of God in heaven.
All that I want from you is to give me your open heart. Above all else, pray for this gift and you shall receive everything else. Further, I want my triumph to fill your hopes and wishes.
The Way Forward
God the Son condescended to be enclosed in the womb of a humble handmaid. He brought his glory to this hidden place. Thus He glorified His Father. He entrusted His life to the care and protection of this handmaid. For thirty years He was obedient to her. This humbling of self was conjoined to the sacrifice on the cross.
These may be viewed from another perspective. This mother, this handmaid, bore Him in her womb, nurtured Him before and after His birth, mentored Him, and offered Him finally on the cross to the Father in heaven. Jesus commenced His public life with the instant brewing of wine. That was the first of the great signs and miracles Jesus wrought, at the request of this mother.
God could have managed His Providence in myriad ways. But the Holy Spirit arranged only the womb of a humble virgin for Him. The lofty scholarship of the world may never grasp the content of this great mystery which occurred in a humble female. The Divine Embryo, waiting to be born to this world, got the blood of the Immaculate Virgin. We must reckon it the Will of God. None might ever influence it. Likewise, God asks us to open our hearts to Him, for Jesus would enter them spiritually, and take up His abode in them.
Action Plan
God has created in our heavenly mother, an eternal spring of divine grace. God wills to pour out divine graces for all humanity from this spring. The Holy Trinity wants to be glorified through the heart of the mother. God the Father invites us to consecrate ourselves to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. As for the mother, she has no personal or private desires. Her focus is the doing of the Will of God, that His Will be done in the hearts of all individuals of humanity, that they may be one in Him and with Him. She wishes people to join with her son Jesus, and thus form a communion. This communion is possible by Grace only. God’s invitation for consecration and union with mother Mary is for a glorious future, beyond our imagination.
The Divine Mother comes down to the world to comply with the Will of the Father Who wants her to counsel us, and to give His message to the world. He wants us to experience her sweet and soft personality, and be guided by her hand, into Life Divine. To a child, there is nothing like a mother’s guiding hands.
Prayer
O Immaculate Heart of Mary, guide us in this campaign for your Triumph. In your great victory, let the entire humanity be united with you and thereby join with the Sacred Heart of Jesus and be one with Him. Transform my heart to be pure; adorn it with flowers of virtues. In my trials, give me strength; may your warmth ensconce my soul. Take my heart and make it yours; in times of rejoicing which will surely come, we may smile together!
Word of God
“And now my children, listen to me. Happy are those who keep my ways.” (Proverbs 8:32).
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.
