St. Ignatius of Antioch

 

Dear Family of Mary!

 

"Dear children! Again today I invite you to live the passion of Jesus in prayer, and in union with Him. Decide to give more time to God who gave you these days of grace. Therefore dear children, pray and in a special way renew the love for Jesus in your hearts. I am with you and I accompany you with my blessing and my prayers. Thank you for having responded to my call." 

(March 25, 1991)

 

Let's let the words of St. Faustina renew our love for Jesus in our hearts:

 

Be adored, O God, in the work of Your mercy,

Be blessed by all faithful hearts

On whom Your gaze rests,

In whom dwells Your immortal life.

 

O my Jesus, have mercy, sorrowful was Your life on this earth.,

And in terrible torment Your work came to an end,

Hanging stretched out on the wood of the Cross,

And all this for the love of our souls.

 

In Your inconceivable love, You allowed Your most holy side to be opened,

And streams of Blood and Water gushed forth from Your Heart.

Here is the living fountain of Your mercy,

Here souls receive consolation and refreshment.

 

In the Blessed Sacrament, you left us Your mercy;

Your love deigned to arrange it so,

That, going through life, suffering and toil,

I might never doubt of Your goodness and mercy.

 

For even if the whole world's miseries weighed on my soul,

We must not doubt for even a moment,

But have trust in the power of God's mercy,

Because, with graciousness, God receives a contrite soul.

 

O unspeakable mercy of our Lord,

Source of compassion and all sweetness,

Trust, trust, O soul, though you are stained by sin,

For when you approach God, you will not taste bitterness.

Because He is a living fire of great love,

When we approach Him with sincerity,

Our miseries, sins and evil deed vanish;

He will settle our debts when we surrender ourselves to Him. (1748, Diary)

 

In Jesus and Mary!

PPS. This coming November 17th Mary TV ( www.marytv.tv) will stream live from St. Stephens Cathedral in Vienna an evening of prayer in thanksgiving for 30 years of Our Lady's apparitions in Medjugorje!   The evening begins at 4:00 pm Vienna time (in the USA at 10:00 am, EST) with testimonies (also from Medjugorje) the Rosary, Our Lady's apparition, Mass (with Cardinal Christoph Schoenborn presiding).  The evening concludes with Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament until 9:00 PM Vienna time (3:00 pm EST in the USA).   

 

Please spread word to everyone on your email list - asking everyone to spread news of this event to their own email lists so as many people as possible will know about it.  Our ability to get word out is very limited - please help.    Remember, Ivan has told us that Our Lady prays over those connected through the internet the same as she prays over the people gathered with her in the Cathedral....and the religious items they have for her to bless are blessed by her the same as those religious items placed right in front of her during her apparition.  Let's take advantage of the incredible grace being offered to us: at www.marytv.tv  on Nov. 17th beginning at 10:00 am (EST).  We will be streaming the evening live in English and also at www.marytv.tv  in Spanish.

 

And also, pray for Denis and me in Chicago at the Totally Yours Conference, October 22-23, at the Rolling Hills Holiday Inn. We will speak during the morning session on October 22!! Thanks! (Contact information: http://www.totallyyours.org  Phone: (630) 279-8424
