MARY, OUR MOTHER

MY REFLECTION

'How Much You Have Need of a Mother!' is the title of Message 60 in the MMP Book.

Our Lady starts off reminding Fr. Gobbi that She is always near him and that he should let Her lead him without looking to anyone or anything. Those words resonate in my heart because I truly believe Mother Mary has led me from my spiritual conversion 40 years ago right up to today. She has been my "spiritual director" and has guided me well. She even called me to the diaconate, which I thank God for every day. I couldn't even begin to count the blessings and graces I have received. Believe me, I am no angel! In all humility, I only deserve nothing, but because I let Our Lady lead me, I have Jesus in my heart and long to be in Heaven giving glory to the Father.

Our Lady now talks about human events. Things are getting worse and worse. Mankind has rejected God. They ignore Him, deny Him and forget Him. This poor generation is polluted and corrupted by Satan, who has risen up against God repeating his challenge: Non serviam: I will not serve; I will not acknowledge God!

Mother Mary says how much we need Her now! Because She is one of us, a creature, She alone can understand and help us. She can heal and snatch you away from the Evil Spirit. Have recourse to Her Immaculate Heart and She will be our salvation. Our Lady has triumphed over all errors and heresies; now with Her priest-sons, She will triumph over the greatest error which history has ever known: atheism, which has drawn away from Jesus Christ almost all of humanity!

These are the years of Our Lady's greatest triumph. All mankind will be renewed by suffering and purification and then re-consecrate itself completely for the glory of God, through the Immaculate Heart!

Here are some Fatima Prayers said by the three children: My God, I love you in thanksgiving for the graces You have granted to me; O my Jesus, I love You; Sweet Heart of Mary, be my salvation.

Quotes from 'The Glories of Mary':

‘I will put enmities between thee and the woman, and thy seed and her seed: she shall crush thy head.’

(Gen. 3:15)

“Since the devil is the head of original sin, this head it was that Mary crushed: for sin never had any entry into the soul of this Blessed Virgin, which was consequently free from all stain.”

Saint Augustine

PSALM 71 SPEAKS TO MY HEART

Forsake Me Not When My Strength Is Spent

In you, O Lord, do I take refuge;
let me never be put to shame!
In your righteousness deliver me and rescue me;
incline your ear to me, and save me!

Be to me a rock of refuge,
to which I may continually come;
you have given the command to save me,
for you are my rock and my fortress.

Rescue me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked,
from the grasp of the unjust and cruel man.
For you, O Lord, are my hope,
my trust, O Lord, from my youth.
Upon you I have leaned from before my birth;
you are he who took me from my mother's womb.
My praise is continually of you.

I have been as a portent to many,
but you are my strong refuge.
My mouth is filled with your praise,
and with your glory all the day.
Do not cast me off in the time of old age;
forsake me not when my strength is spent.

For my enemies speak concerning me;
those who watch for my life consult together
and say, “God has forsaken him;
pursue and seize him,
for there is none to deliver him.”

O God, be not far from me;
O my God, make haste to help me!
May my accusers be put to shame and consumed;
with scorn and disgrace may they be covered
who seek my hurt.

But I will hope continually
and will praise you yet more and more.
My mouth will tell of your righteous acts,
of your deeds of salvation all the day,
for their number is past my knowledge.

With the mighty deeds of the Lord God I will come;
I will remind them of your righteousness, yours alone.

O God, from my youth you have taught me,
and I still proclaim your wondrous deeds.

So even to old age and gray hairs,
O God, do not forsake me,
until I proclaim your might to another generation,
your power to all those to come.
Your righteousness, O God,
reaches the high heavens.
You who have done great things,
O God, who is like you?

You who have made me see many troubles and calamities
will revive me again;
from the depths of the earth
you will bring me up again.
You will increase my greatness
and comfort me again.

I will also praise you with the harp
for your faithfulness, O my God;
I will sing praises to you with the lyre,
O Holy One of Israel.
My lips will shout for joy,
when I sing praises to you;
my soul also, which you have redeemed.

And my tongue will talk of your righteous help all the day long,
for they have been put to shame and disappointed
who sought to do me hurt.
