DAY – 5
Message of Blessed Virgin Mary
Dear Children,
You are waking up to the dawn of my great triumph. I pray for the unity among all my children who have responded to my call. I am leaving it to you to decide and work for peace in this world. It is up to you to bring to fruition all my desires. I await your response. I wish that change of hearts and conversion towards God may happen everywhere. Likewise, it is you who should bring to a successful close, all my earlier messages. You may give life and fulfillment to my words.
The Way Forward
-
Firstly, during preparation for consecration, the soul ought to be open to inspiration from above. Only pure love for our Heavenly Mother shall motivate you for it. There shall be no other motive like any material gains or cure from illness etc.
-
Secondly, the soul must desire complete reconciliation with God. This grace for unity is partly given during preparation itself. But if the reconciliation is not complete, grace cannot flow into the soul.
-
Thirdly, solitude of the soul is required for the nurturing of love for Our Lady. Solitude means our mind and heart are after God and nothing else matters.
-
Fourthly, we must gain an awareness of what Holy Mary wants from us. We do know what we want from her. We seldom listen to whisperings from her. Pray we must to learn what Jesus wants from us. The Immaculate heart has no personal wishes. Jesus and Mary demand the same things from us.
Action Plan
As we move forward to perfection, we must wish to love God to the maximum: to love him more than all saints ever did or do; to suffer more for God than all the sufferings of all martyrs; to welcome all possible pain; to forgive those who inflicted them; to welcome every pain to save even a single soul; to be charitable. These desires will light a huge fire of holiness in us. The fire will result in generating simplicity and sanctity in the soul. These are the cornerstones of consecration.
Prayer
O Immaculate Heart of Mary, help me in my way forward to holiness. I ardently wish to be pure in heart and saintly. Enable me to bear in mind the goodness of the Lord always. Many people do not recognize the favors the Lord bestows on them. Enable me to compensate for the ingratitude. I wish I had loved your tender heart more than I really did. Dear Mother, unite me with your Son so that I may become entirely His as he desires me to be.
Word of God
“God, create in me a clean heart.” (Psalm 51:10).
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.
R. And dwelt among us.
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.

O Virgin Mother, fashion my heart like unto yours,
Enfold it with a wreath of sanctity studded with virtues.
