Here is the formatted text for Day 7, fully cleaned up, spaced out, and styled perfectly for direct copy-pasting onto your website. I have removed the page number (33), repaired the split words (like “pro-duce”, “ce-ment”, and “destina-tion”), and fixed the sentence-spacing glitches.

DAY – 7

Message of Blessed Virgin Mary

My dear Children,

I am inviting you to join an important mission for peace. I shall not leave your side. Instead, I shall return to you, especially on my Saturday each month, to prepare you for the mission, and to teach you your part in this plan of grace.

Dear children, I am calling on you to ask you to complete all things I asked of you. I am looking at the culmination of my message for peace. On my feast days, let us offer ourselves to the Father in heaven as a group. That is a time for me to fulfill your desires. Let us come together under the selected shepherds. I shall deposit in you seeds of sanctity. They will grow up to produce virtues and grace.

The Way Forward

One of the major aims of the consecration is to form a union of devotees. Our Lady will grant the special grace that will cement this union. On our part, we have to be prepared to receive this grace. If we are not prepared, the flow of grace will be blocked. We might receive only a part of what Our Lady intends to bestow on us. It is like taking a small vessel to receive a large quantity of matter.

Now you have to be conscious of the purpose of the grace. Graces are given ultimately for the glory of God. They are gifts, given free.

Action Plan

Be confident that if you don’t progress in sanctity at the desired speed, you do not have to despair. Only desire, earnestly, to complement your wants, and try hard to reach the destination. Grace will follow you. Never despair and fall into the trap of Satan. Consecration is a sure guarantee to bond with God. When He commands, it will be done. The consecrated ones are God’s children.

Prayer

O Immaculate Heart of Mary, I thank you for the interior light which I received at the consecration. Help me to gain more light through grace. May I continuously seek, as you did, the will of God and to follow it without reserve. I wish to be freed from all attachments to this worldly life. I wish to carry my cross with passion, and be at your side during the battle for peace and see your victory. Amen.

Word of God

“For the sake of the joy which lay ahead of him, he endured the cross, disregarding the shame of it.” (Hebrews 12:2).

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…

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.
