DAY – 3
Message of Blessed Virgin Mary
My Dear Children,
Renew your consecration to my Immaculate Heart, on the feast day (of Annunciation). I ask all my children to remain united to me through consecration. You do not know how much grace is held in my arms for distribution among you. I am anxious to carry my children in my maternal arms and present them to God the Father in heaven and to God the Son, Jesus who is truth, life and way to eternal life in heaven and to God the Holy Spirit.
I come with such plentiful grace, because the world is influenced by so much evil and deceptions. I wish to lead my children to the fullness of the gospel message. Your life has to be shaped by this message to enable you to claim the crown in heaven. Moreover, I long for protecting and guiding you. The world is going to succumb to dark times, and tribulations will be great. Satan entices the world through subtle means which are alluring too. So you need my protection and guidance.
Those who are faithful to the gospel message, obedient to the Vicar of Christ, and devoted to the Holy Eucharist shall have special protection as they are covered under my mantle. I wish to lead you to glorify the most Holy Trinity. The passage is through my heart. You will be bearers of divine splendor. The splendor shall emanate from within you. When the splendor reaches the entire world, my triumph will be complete. My duty to usher in the reign will be fully done. That is when the reign of the Sacred Heart of Jesus begins. His kingdom will be fully established here on earth. Through your small efforts You shall radiate the glory of God.
It is in your power to decide your role leading to the success of our joined hearts and our triumph.
The way forward
The preparation for Consecration is vital. It makes the soul fit to receive the exceptional grace. Thus you can see that preparation is real purification of the soul, to the level of holiness required to receive the bounty from God. The Consecration may never be taken lightly, for its momentum is great: it is spiritual communion with Jesus, through the heart of Mary. Much grace is compressed within the act itself. Preparation lays the strong foundation for the edifice of unity. The soul must be made strong enough to receive the great gift.
Action Plan
Ardent desire in the soul is the first requirement. The consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary takes it to great spiritual elevation. It also gives the soul wings to soar higher and higher, breaking loose the ties to this world. Here we get peace that goes beyond our understanding.
Prayer
O Immaculate Heart of Mary, help my soul to be fit to receive the immense grace God wants to bestow upon it. Help my soul to realize the import of the great gift. I know that I am unworthy to receive it. But allow me to receive the gift in all sincerity, humility, and purity.
Word of God
“God wills you all to be holy.” (1 Thessalonians 4:3)
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…
V. And the Word was made flesh.

Hail Mary…
V. Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God.
R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
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.
