Dear Family of Mary!

"Dear children!  God the Father is sending me to show you the way of salvation, because He, my children, desires to save you and not to condemn you. That is why I, as a mother, am gathering you around me, because with my motherly love I desire to help you to be free of the dirtiness of the past and to begin to live anew and differently. I am calling you to resurrect in my Son. Along with confession of sins renounce everything that has distanced you from my Son and that has made your life empty and unsuccessful. Say 'yes' to the Father with the heart and set out on the way of salvation to which He is calling you through the Holy Spirit. Thank you. I am especially praying for the shepherds, for God to help them to be alongside you with a fullness of heart." (May 2, 2011)

Our Lady tells us: "I, as a mother, am gathering you around me, because with my motherly love I desire to help you to be free of the dirtiness of the past and to begin to live anew and differently. I am calling you to resurrect in my Son."  

Denis and I have been experiencing Our Mother gathering us around her.  She is increasingly present during our Rosaries.  She is close to us when we pray, when we are at Mass, when we are at work, when we are in need.  She wants us to be transformed, to live resurrected lives that reflect her Son, Jesus.  Who can better show us the way to live holy lives than Mary?  Who can better model for us how to say 'yes' to the Father than Our Lady?  Gathering around her, listening to her, following her example is the best way to live new and different lives.
Blessed John Paul II wrote a beautiful prayer of consecration to Our Lady.  As I read it, it occurred to me that it was a simple guide for us on how to gather around Our Lady and learn from her.  If we live this prayer, we will be in the School of Mary.  There is so much grace through Blessed John Paul II right now.  Let's ask him to help us live this prayer!

Totus Tuus  (Totally yours), 
Immaculate Conception, 
Mary my Mother, 
Live in me, 
Act in me, 
Speak in me and through me, 
Think your thoughts in my mind, 
Love through my heart, 
Give me your dispositions and feelings, 
Teach, lead me and guide me to Jesus, 
Correct, enlighten and expand my thoughts and behavior, 
Possess my soul,
Take over my entire personality and life, replace it with Yourself,
Incline me to constant adoration, 
Pray in me and through me, 
Let me live in you and keep me in this union always.

In Jesus, Mary, Joseph, and Blessed John Paul II!
