NIGHT REFLECTION
Message #43 titled: 'Place Them in My Maternal Heart.'
Our Lady is so happy when we gather together in prayer. And because She loves each one of us so dearly, She wants us to know, meet, and love each other. What a great Mother She is! Every mother wants her children to love and take care of each other. It's usually the oldest or first born that takes the lead, becoming a little momi or popi for the rest of the siblings.
I was the oldest and first born. We had five of us kids in the family. Because my father died early of TB, I watched over the little flock as Mom had to work long hours as a waitress to support us. It sure taught me a lot about life at an early age and when I was seventeen, I joined the Navy and was able to take care of myself quite well because of those early days of my life.
Mary says that when we are gathered together in prayer with Her, She is truly present. She emphasized: 'truly present.' And She says that She would even give sure signs of this presence. Maybe that's why so many statues and holy pictures are crying tears and even tears of blood and oil! Could this be the signs She meant? Whatever, it is certainly a beautiful gift to have Our Blessed Mother with us when we pray.
Are we reaching out to others to form a MMP Prayer Cenacle? Our Lady's last words for today are: Gather them into my cohort; place them all in my maternal Heart!'
