A SUNDAY NIGHT REFLECTION

From the MMP Blue Book Message #44 is titled: 'Let Them Offer Me Their Sufferings.'

Do you offer your sufferings to Our Lady? Everyone has some cross to bear, some sufferings to endure. Why waste them. Give them to Jesus through Our Lady. Mother Mary says that the road to Heaven is difficult. It is strewn with difficulties and sorrows, but do not be discouraged or frightened because She will lead you, just remain in Her Heart.

Give Our Lady all the difficulties, the sufferings and the abandonment that you are experiencing. Mary says this comforts Her Sorrowful Heart because She knows that you offer them to Her in love! And then She adds, Even Jesus willed to offer to the Father all His sufferings through and with Her. Wow! That's very powerful!

Mary says this is Her task as Mother and Co-redemptrix. When we offer Our Lady our sufferings it allows Her to do Her job, so to speak; to save souls redeemed by Jesus but so many far away from Him. Together with the Blessed Virgin Mary we can pay for souls; just "offer it up", as we Catholic like to say.

So, again, prayer and suffering will comfort the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary and assist Her in Her great plan of mercy which She is about to realize in this, our time! Together let us save souls! Pray the Morning Offering! Then your whole day is offered to God through Mary; all your trials and tribulations; your joys and bliss, your tiredness and humility; all for the glory of God!

Morning Offering

O Jesus, through the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary, I offer You my prayers, works, joys, and sufferings of this day for all the intentions of Your Sacred Heart, for the intentions of Mary, Our Mother, in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world, in reparation for my sins, for all my relatives and friends, and in particular for the intentions of the Holy Father. Amen.
