MY LATE NIGHT REFLECTION
Message #47 'The Prayer of My Priests.'
Our Lady tells Fr. Gobbi that She wants Her priest-sons close to Her Heart in prayer, detached from the convulsions of the world and even in the Church! Stay by Her alone, She says. These are grave moments which demand very much prayer! The prayer of Her priests is necessary for the salvation of the world.
But how do priests pray? Well first and foremost is their daily Mass; the Holy Sacrifice must be celebrated well! And every priest should say Mass or con-celebrate every day, if possible! Mass should be lived by Her priests, Our Lady says. Also the whole day should be consecrated to Mary by praying the Liturgy of the Hours. And Our Lady's beloved Rosary, so intimate that Mary speaks to Her little children and they speak and listen to Her, a real conversation in the Mysteries of the Holy Rosary!
And so every action becomes a prayer and the Holy Spirit groans within them, crying out and invoking God as a Father. Mary says, Seek the Father; cry out to the Father; yearn for the Father; all of us can do this, She says.
Each day I do what Our Lady asks, crying out to the Father for the Triumph of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary, That His Kingdom of the Divine Will will reign in the hearts of all mankind! I ask Him to send the Holy Spirit to "renew the face of the earth," and I ask the Father to send world peace through Our Lady, Queen of Peace. What do you ask the Father for?
One last word from Mother Mary: We will be disposed to continuous prayer, prompted by the sufferings around us. The moments are approaching that are more serious than anyone of us can imagine. We are being prepared by Her so that we are ready and that's why we must pray, pray, pray!
