Day 27 of the
Consecration to Mary
"My angel, my Son told the women of the world not to shed their tears for Him, but for their children to come. It was you, my children of this generation He spoke of with such compassion - a children so deeply plunged into darkness with the light of my Jesus, so hidden from your eyes and especially your hearts.
It is this generation I call especially
to become my presence within the world. I do not ask to increase in devotion
but to belong to my Immaculate Heart. Desire holiness in a way that your hearts
burn with this ardent wish. Pray for your sanctification; petition my heart to
grace you with virtue and endow your soul with purity. Each of these gifts can
be granted by your desire; they are increased by practice and application.
I am able to bestow all of these and to
found them in a precious grace, the grace given by my Immaculate Heart and
enlivened by the power of the Holy Spirit. This grace is consummated in your
consecration. May you now understand the gifts infused through this act.
By your consecration to my Immaculate
Heart, you are responding to my call for my Triumph in the most divine and
complete way. From this moment forward, there is nothing we cannot accomplish -
for we are truly bonded by the heart for all eternity." 9-15-93
GUIDANCE: The Holy Spirit waits within the soul for the arrival
of His spouse. When He finds that His spouse has come to take residence within
a soul, He comes to enter in fullness. He communicates Himself to the soul so
abundantly to the point that He encloses His spouse within the soul. They shall
then live there in harmony in the presence of all heavenly gifts and graces.
This is the greatest contribution of the joining of their hearts within ours
through the consecration.
When there is no existence of wonders within the
soul, many times it is because the Holy Spirit has come into us, and He has not
found sufficient union of our heart with His spouse. Then Our Lady has planted
her roots within the Soul, she produces there, marvels of grace which she alone
brings.
DIRECTION: Through the desire for holiness, Our Lady can give
to your soul her own faith, which is the greatest of all faiths that ever was
on each. She brings to your confidence, because you will not approach God
alone, but always with her. This gift if given because you have given her all
your merits, graces, and needs; she will then bring to you her virtues, and
will surround you in her own merits. In this way, you will be able to ask that
God's will be in you also. But the greatest reason you will prosper in grace
and confidence, is that you shall no longer have trust in yourself. Her spirit
will enter into the place of yours, to rejoice in God. What transformation will
occur at that moment of our consecration, in the lowly places where the
presence of the Holy Spirit will rest!
MEDITATION: O'Immaculate Heart of Mary, I plead my cause to your
maternal heart. Form in me a heart of invincible faith, profound humility,
ardent prayer, a form hope and lively charity, so that this, my consecration,
may come fruitful. Queen of Hearts, come to claim my heart; bring with you your
spouse, the Holy Spirit, that you may dwell together forever in its depths.
"My soul doth magnify
the Lord and I rejoice in God my Savior." Luke 1:46-47
