Day 1 of the
Consecration to Mary
"My dearest children, I come to offer you my greatest gift - to give you my love in a most special exchange, my heart for yours. In this exchange, you shall make the Act of Consecration to My Immaculate Heart, thus partaking in my Triumph. I ask you my children, it is only your choice to accept." 8-9-92.
GUIDANCE: Our Lady reminds us of the purpose of the
consecration. The consecration holds the promise of the a soul to be possessed
by her and through her to God, the Holy Spirit. As she remains the spouse of
the Holy Spirit, all is given to God, so it is in this way that our hearts
are also promised to God through our consecration to her. Since the entire
purpose of Our Lady is to bring all hearts to her Son, she in effect, is
collecting all souls to Him.
In the Act of Consecration, our heart is exchanged,
by divine grace, for Our Lady's heart and then our souls are purified and
cleansed through a focused reconciliation with God.
When the soul comes into union with Our Lady, the
desire to imitate her becomes the purpose of this union. The heart is brought
to the level of purity required for the heart to correspond with the imitation
of Our Lady, thus bringing about the necessary spiritual atmosphere for
the exchange of hearts to occur. In this imitation, our heart is pulled
by a force of desire so that it can be met on the other side by God for the exchange.
The Act of Consecration is a spiritual communion with Jesus through the heart
of Our Lady.
DIRECTION: Our Lady tells us that we do not recognize the power
given to us through prayer. We hold within our own hearts the key to peace in
the world. Through prayer, a relationship will be increased; and through this heart
to heart time we spend with Him, all our needs can be fulfilled. We should
place aside a time for this relationship to grow. It is not possible to have a
one-sided relationship. We must allow Jesus the time to reveal to our heart,
His design created for us. Through the solitude of prayer, all the mysteries of
heaven can be taught to our soul.
MEDITATION: O'Immaculate Heart of Mary, help me to pray for the
fire within my heart to be brought by you, to the level necessary for the
exchange of my heart for yours. I pray to give to you, dear Mother, a YES of
simplicity created from the purity of my heart and with the intention of
imitation of your heart. Holy Mary, assist me with the desire to love God with
my entire soul; to spare nothing within my power to please Him, who loves me so
greatly. I desire to become united with you eternally, so that you may present
me before the throne of your Son in a state of perfection and filled with
sacred love. Such is my ardent hope, my fervent desire.
"And every one that
has left house or brethren or sisters, or father, or mother, or lands for my
sake, shall receive a hundred-fold, and shall possess life everlasting."
Matt 19:29
"Dear children, the act of
consecration to my Immaculate Heart is just as I speak it. It is an act and not
merely words. I rejoice that your hearts are realizing this.
I tell you, your hearts are a window to
your soul; the Act of Consecration opens this window. Your soul is like a
prism, it is designed by God to reflect Him. If there are impurities in this
prism, it cannot reflect the glory that was intended. To bring clarity to the
soul, you must pray. Only through prayer may all impurities be dissolved.
Look into my heart, dear ones, for when
you gaze in, you shall only receive the Trinity. I can only reflect the
presence of God to you.
Listen my children, I assure you, open
your hearts to receive the light of God. Allow only Him to be reflected to
you." 7-7-92
GUIDANCE: Our Lady brings to us a call to her mission - the
mission for the Triumph. This mission begins in our consecration to her
Immaculate Heart; thus we are responding to the call to holiness and the quest
for peace within ourselves and within the world.
We must begin by realizing that this is a call to a
personal conversion involving our own heart and soul which allows God to work
in us and through us.
The Act of Consecration in exactly as Our Lady has
said - it is an act. The Act of Consecration will join our hearts through hers,
to her Son, through a specially created grace.
DIRECTION: Prayer is what creates our relationship with God.
Through this means of communion, God comes into our hearts and us into Him.
Through prayer all impurities in us may be realized, given to Him and then
transformed by His grace. To have quiet in the soul is to be filled with the
presence of God. We must first be united as one with God, then, through this
unity of ourselves with Him, He will be able to work miracles through us.
MEDITATION: O'Immaculate Heart of Mary, help me to allow the
window of my soul to remain clear and open, so that all impurities may be
erased and God may be magnified brilliantly and gloriously through my own
conversion, consecration, and witness. May I give action to the words I promise
to you, dear Mother. Open my heart that I become the sign of your Triumph to
the world.
