Here is the formatted text for Day 8, fully cleaned up, spaced out, and styled perfectly for direct copy-pasting onto your website. I have removed the page numbers (35 and 36), repaired all split words (like “glob-al”, “per-sonal”, “un-derstanding”, and “conse-cration”), and formatted the scripture verse beautifully.
DAY – 8
Message of Blessed Virgin Mary
My dearest children,
Do not ever leave me. I have great longings to gather you in my embrace. You will stay strong in unity. Satan can do no harm when you stand united with Jesus at the center. I call on you to give you conviction about the importance of the global consecration. You will be my colleagues in harvesting sanctity from this global union.
Through this consecration, you give your consent to serve God in a very special manner. Also, you agree to make personal sacrifices for the Triumph of my Immaculate Heart. I will ask much of each of you. Humble yourselves. Hold my hand so that I may be able to lead you to peace: peace in your families, peace in your homelands, and peace in the whole world.
Dear children, open your hearts before me. I shall place a spark of wisdom in you. I shall give only that which you can accept and assimilate. The greater your acceptance and greater the spark of wisdom in your soul, the deeper will be your understanding. Live exactly according to my message which will be your teacher, and which will prepare you to face your future. My purpose here is to transform your heart and soul into the very image of God. Won’t you come to me? Shall I carry your heart to the Father in heaven? The choice is yours. I ask you to reflect on these matters now itself.
The Way Forward
A deep and profound love shall keep you in thrall after consecration. This divine thrall is powerful enough to attract the attention of the Blessed Virgin Mary towards you. It is like a magnetic force. Your intense desire draws the attention of Our Lady. She intensifies this love to such a degree that the divine exchange takes place.
Action Plan
The human soul may be compared to a garden where weeds spring up in abundance. Unless each weed is removed by a shovel, the garden will be a wasteland of thorns. If the interior of your soul is a wasteland of thorns, external devotions are of no avail.
The thorns are selfishness. When you have consecrated yourself, the soul becomes fertile with graces. Mortifications remove the thorns of selfishness. The virtues grow under the watchful gardener who prunes and cuts branches. A fragrant and flowery garden of virtues comes up.
Prayer
O Immaculate Heart of Mary, take me very close to your Son. Light His fire in my soul. I wish to be totally consumed by this fire. Mother, take possession of my heart, and exchange it with yours. Fill it with love for holiness, and make it fit enough to do the will of the Heavenly Father. May I find sanctification. I desire to be eternally attached to you through the cord of sanctity. I do not want my heart to be mine, but God’s only through the consecration to your Heart.
Word of God
“She is a garden enclosed, my sister, my promised bride; a garden enclosed, a sealed fountain.” (Song of Songs 4:12).
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.
