Mary TV Daily Reflection 12/7/2011

The Assumption by Murillo from the Marist Brothers

December 7, 2011   Dear Family of Mary!   "Dear children! Give thanks with me to the Most High for my presence with you. My heart is joyful watching the love and joy in the living of my messages. Many of you have responded, but I wait for, and seek, all the hearts that have fallen asleep to awaken from the sleep of unbelief. Little children, draw even closer to my Immaculate Heart so that I can lead all of you toward eternity. Thank you for having responded to my call." (June 25, 2011)   This is the last day of the novena. Tomorrow is the beautiful Feast of the Immaculate Conception! The message above seems to sum up our nine days of prayer. We have been giving thanks to God for sending us Our Lady in these difficult days. We have been praying for her intentions, which certainly include all the hearts that have fallen asleep in unbelief. And we have been drawing ever closer to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, our pure and spotless Mother who loves us so much.   Thank you, dear Mother, for hearing our prayers and for leading us towards eternity! We are in awe of your Immaculate Conception!   Prayer to the Immaculate Conception O God,  who by the Immaculate Conception  of the Blessed Virgin Mary, did prepare a worthy dwelling place for Your Son,  we beseech You that, as by the foreseen death of this, Your Son, You did preserve Her from all stain,  so too You would permit us, purified through Her intercession, to come unto You.  Through the same Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son, who lives and reigns with You in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, world without end.  Amen.   Day Nine O Mother of the King of the Universe, most perfect member of the human race, "our tainted nature's solitary boast," we turn to you as mother, advocate, and mediatrix. O Holy Mary, assist us in our present necessity. By your Immaculate Conception, O Mary conceived without sin, we humbly beseech you from the bottom of our heart to intercede for us with your Divine Son and ask that we be granted the favor for which we now plead...  (State your intention here...) O Mary of the Immaculate Conception, Mother of Christ, you had influence with your Divine Son while upon this earth; you have the same influence now in heaven. Pray for us and obtain for us from him the granting of my petition if it be God's will. Amen.   Litany of the Blessed Virgin Mary:  http://www.ewtn.com/devotionals/novena/litany_mary.htm      In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan ©Mary TV 2011   (c)Mary TV
